Move my commissioner offered seconded by commission or senator no any discussion. No discussion one question on the lease. Do we use what do we what do we use to come up with a mouth for the lease? No, no set. Okay, thank you. We put them out for bids and whoever the high bed or is but generally the main purpose of it is just to prevent us from having them all right each of you. Gotcha. Thank you. All right. Any other discussion? All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Yes, have it. Under county auditor, we have a few out of them. I imagine considering approval of budget transfer from mosquito control for the cost of repairs to airport anger ramp in the amount of $35,000. How to be as regular county bills check numbers 525551 through 525825. At MC, it's considered a budget transfer mosquito control for additional cost for ensuring the new plane and the amount of $7,365. Do that motion, though, that in Thunder County auditor. So moved in seconded by commissioners willis in Senegal discussion And then ramp it did something happen to that room No, it's just it's kicking up rocks and so I was working with commissioner Erickson and his superintendent And this is the cost of the materials to repair it. Okay. Very good. All right, any other discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Yes, having under Vitheter Center, we have one item to consider and possibly approve Jeff St. Kennedy Tourism Committee, formally, table, fall, 2024, hotel, occupancy, tax allocation, recommendation recommendation for the professional football capital of the world museum foundation where they requested $14,000 in the recommendation of the committee was $2,000. So I'll need a motion for a recommendation I guess on this one. I saw a email that came through from misuse about it, but that's all the information I have. So I don't really have anything other than the recommendation of the committee. Well, I kind of looked at this, I'll make the motion, you know, if the X-14 and it gave me two, and it's for that football capital the world when Boma and surrounding areas was was that in the NFL. I wonder why they came back so low I don't know we can table that wait for them to come talk to us. I think she was out Okay, let me her mother was in hospital right exactly let's let's let's table That one under County treasure Out of may is to receive file the investment schedule for January 2025 including the year-to-date total learnings on county funds I have a motion on that eye. So move. And move. And seconded, any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Yeah, I have it. I think under Sheriff's Department, we have one item. I've been requested to table that because the county attorney is still reviewing some red lines of the agreement. So Sheriff, you have any objection to the tab taping that on that? Okay. We will table out of May under Sheriff's Department under Human Resources. We have three items out of May as considering possibly approved revisions to the personnel policy practices. And procedures manual for Section 5.2 to new employee orientation period. Addabia is considered and possibly approved revisions to personal policy practices and procedures manual, for section 8.1 alcohol and drug testing policies for employees subject to the Department of Transportation Regulations, out of C as considered and possibly approved revisions to the personal policies, and practices and procedures manual for section 13 under retirement. I believe we're going to have a request to amend so Commissioner offered would you like to offer the motion with your amendment? Yes, I would make the motion but the amendment will come with the Saturday 90 days will come with 60 days For rehab rehab, okay Did we have a second? Yes, okay any discussion yes, Judge, I'd like Vernice explain Exactly what that means all the employees and everyone elected officials want to understand what that means to all the employees and everyone elected officials to understand what that means. Commissioner Senegal, you are specifically talking about the third one for retirement. Yes, retirement in the time. We're making a change on the retirement policy to be eligible for someone who retires, to be eligible for rehire after 60 days. And also we are adding the definition of what TCDRS requires as a bonafide termination of employment, which means you cannot have any arrangements for coming back to work for Jefferson County while you're planning your retirement. That would not be considered a bonafide termination and that could result in jeopardizing not only the employees' retirement plan, but Jefferson County's plan as a whole with our tax exempt status. Right, you said wow before oh wow. Wow, wow, exactly before oh wow. When you are planning for your retirement, you have to legitimately be planning to write up into the sunset and retire. You cannot be making arrangements to come back because if TCDRS gets wind of that, then it could jeopardize our plan. And cost is to get a federal audit and all that. Audit and yes it could ruin the tax exempt status for the county. And as I told Judge when my favorite move was bonafide. Bonafide. Bonafide. He worded in that over other way I thought. Thank you very much. Any other discussion? All in favor say yes. Edd amended. Aye. Any opposed? I have an engineering department. I am amazed. So there are possibly approved minor platybore, road, carbon addition and subdivision of 5.009 acres of land and triathlon through four out of the HD and BRR section 11. Abstract number 148, Jefferson County, Texas. This is the minor plat located off board road and pre-tank number four. It is in the city of Beaumont, ETJ, to met all of Jefferson County and the city of Beaumont's platting requirements. Adam B will be table good until next week. Adam C is to ex you receive and file utility permit 03 you 25 twin Jefferson County and energy. Well I guess that one will be able to long with we need you know not this okay one's okay there's no there's no encroachment. Okay okay I don't see it to actually receive file utility permit 03 you 25 twin Jefferson County Energy Texas for the purpose of a power transmission line along Blue at Road located in pre-tank number four to have motion on those two items. So moved. Seconded by commissioners and willis in Senegal any discussion. All in favor say aye. It is? The ad have it. And lastly under county commissioners, we have one item to consider and possibly approve the donation. I guess the acceptance of a donation of a five-metal, five-draw, lateral filing cabinet from local attorney Mark Lambert, the Jefferson County Pertesting Department in accordance Section 81.032, Texas Global Government Goat. Do you have motion on that? A move. Second. Moved and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Any aye? Any opposed? Any aye? Any opposed? Any aye? Any opposed? Any aye? Any opposed? Any aye? Any opposed? Any opposed? With that, I'll earn a take. And that completes our regular agenda. Is there any meant thing any member of the court or any elected official wishes to bring the attention to the public without our taking action? No, just this, the public in general be calmed that we understand tomorrow supposed to be a total of a washout, rain out, cold weather coming in. So be calmed. Yeah, so it's gonna get into the 20s on Thursday and Friday. And I specifically, it's going to be for a period of hours, but that's specifically talked to Greg Bosch, like this weekend, and he told me that I did did go need to go ahead and cover my plants again. So, yeah. We're going to get all the furniture like this out again. While we're in here, I don't think Greg Keller's not here. But I'm looking at that email relating to the generator parts back and back. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. I'm looking at that email relating to the generator parts back and back. Commissioner Miller. Yep. So I noticed that generator, if you wouldn't touch with him and give us a little bit of update report, that's a diesel generator. It's got 1200 hours, which is basically not even broken in. Branded. So I'm curious as to why. Of course, I guess we've had it since probably about 2010, little after Hurricane I in 2008. So it is probably around 15 years old. But I'm gonna get a little bit more information about how some they expect because the little of the starters have been used that seems kind of strange but it isn't a salt there of different galley. Alright anything from any other elected official. Thank you so very much for your time today and nothing further we are adjourned.
