I'm going to call this regular meeting of the Coriota County Commission's Court to order this time noting that all members are for present. For those of you that are here in person, if you've gotten electronic, the bias we'd that you place it on silence at this time. And for those of you that are here in person if you've gotten electronic device we'd ask you to replace it on silence at this time and for those of you that are participating by Zoom we would ask you to place your device on mute until such time that you need to address the court will begin this morning with a word of prayer. I'm going to ask questions Heavenly Father. We come before you today asking for for forgiveness of sins and recognize you as the creator of all, both heaven and earth. Lord, we're so thankful to have you in our lives and we're so appreciative of the many blessings that you continue to bestow upon us. We would ask that you continue to favor us with good weather and the rains that we're receiving in the Lord. We're going to ask a special blessing for our first responders, those that protect us here on Earth. Our firefighters, our EMS, our law enforcement, and our military services around the world. And, Lord, we would ask that you provide peace and comfort those that are having trials and tribulations, discord between nations, so that they're resolved in a peaceful manner under your watchful eye. And Lord, as always, we ask that you place your hand in wisdom upon this court so we can do here on earth what honors you in heaven. We ask all these things in your son's holy name. Amen. Amen. You can pledge to our flags. I pledge allegiance to the flag made in the United States of, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state, under God, one, and indivisible. The next item on our agenda is the public forum. Citizens may address the court on any matter other than matters concerning the county personnel or matters under litigation. Each citizen will be allocated five minutes with a total time not to exceed 30 minutes. Is there anyone here in person that would like to address the court this morning? Seeing and hearing none, is there anyone that's participating by Zoom that would like to address the court this morning? Seeing and hearing none, we'll move on to the regular items of the agenda and I'm going to ask the court some doldits because we have some other activities going on and we've got some county personnel that need to get back to those activities. So I would ask that the court move to item number 11, which is to consider resolution CC 25-01, victims of crime act grant. The resolution went out in your packet and that is to support our victims of crime position that Ms. Brandy Rhodes has filled for us for a number of years and the grant application, the resolution to support that grant application and Brandy, I'd open it up to you for any words you might want to add to the court. It's due on Thursday. This is one step that we have to check on in any way we need to click on for the branch of being 30 times the full power upon on Thursday. And we're asking for a little for $140,000 from the government on this and we'll have a 20% cash match or inkine one of the other and working with Matthew on those numbers right now. Okay, very good. Any questions from the court discussion? I have a a motion from Commissioner Matthews who approved the resolution CC 25-01 second from Commissioner Taylor in further discussion on item number 11. Hearing none, all those in say aye. All those opposed to no. I just have it motion carries. And Brandy is always thank you for your due diligence and putting this together. I know it's a it's a challenge every year. So thank you for that. And again, trying to support other agencies. I would ask that we continue on with item number 12 on the agenda, which is to consider resolution CC 25-02 opposing the elimination of the countywide polling place program. Again, that resolution went out in your packet for your review. Mr. Brothers had asked that we place it on here in. I'll let him talk to finer points of the resolution and the impact that be proposed legislation in Austin, the negative impact that it would have to the county. So Mr. Crothers. There's several things out there on both the House and side who eliminate county by polling. They claim it's a bad thing for citizens. I'm not sure where they're coming from, but. It has more traction measure that never has, but they always try to do this. But they also want to eliminate valid working devices which we have and electronic problems. So I guess they want us to use pencil and, I don't know what they want, but. A lot of counties are getting together with resolution similar to this. So we can get. The main reason being it's going to make it really hard on citizens if they have to go back to policing voting, which means election day you have to vote in your policing. You can't vote anywhere else. You know, I think it would be very detrimental to our can to go back to that. You know what would know where to vote? Most people go vote in their precinct. They vote somewhere else, somewhere close to work. So that's what the resolution basically goes over, you know, the size of our county. How that would affect us and cost us more money. That's, you know, one of the big things is we have to open up 16 precincts every time. That's just more money, more people, more time, more confusion. So hopefully by doing this along with many other counties in the state, there even counties that are not participating in the program pass this resolution because you know they're looking to do that one day so we hope these resolutions and hope you know the judge or you all can give this out to not only our senator representative but to any that you know to get this word out that we're strongly opposed to them doing that to us. So. Mr. Crowler, thank you. And to highlight, when he's talking about precincts, it's not the four commissioner precincts. It is the voting individual 16 voting precincts. And we operate election day. How many voting sites do we currently have? Eight. So we in effect would have to double the amount of personnel to operate those sites as well as identify what those sites are. more. It's the logistics, the equipment costs, the inconvenience of people being able to get there to vote. I mean, people, you know, colors, I mean, right now, when it's time to vote, you just go vote. You don't have to know where, you know, and if they change this bag, you know, there's been chaos. That one would know where it goes. No. I make money to approve the real care and information. We got a motion to approve from Commissioner Matthews, a second from Commissioner Taylor, any further discussion on item 12. Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. All those posting out. I just have it motion carries. Mr. Crowthers, I'll get you a copy of that when we get it signed and executed. Okay, now if we can go back to item number five on our agenda Which would be to consider approving the minutes for the Queryl County Commission's Court meeting held on January 28, 2025. On the minutes themselves, it did reflect the 20 seconds. On the minutes themselves it did reflect the 27th. So that would have been incorrect as far as the agenda. But yes, so noted for agenda purposes should reflect the 27th and the minutes that you're approving in fact do have the 27th on there. So are you still good with that notion to approve from Commissioner Baixham and the, okay, it's a much to approve from Commissioner Baixham, second from Commissioner Taylor, any further discussion on item five. Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. All those opposed to no. As a habit, motion carries. Item number six, road and bridge report, Mr. Lactin. On the January judge, we had 31 open service requests and we closed out 33, and we've waited for a blade and add base for roads and a lug and 20 roads. We're preparing one of our clean ditches at nine locations. We've dealt and shake the bitch around one for ready metal pie. Clear following trees reporting locations picked up dump items out of the right away, 25 locations, first two bench rows, whereas one bench row technically on Canterbury 145 and then so on. We've got some dump in that big valley, batched 17 locations, installed a large drain structure on I'm counting on 145, we're doing that being said. I'm just a structure there, they're whether good or bad. We push fence out again right away and we went ahead and added up five in there. I always there was nine foot, but 50 foot still casing, built up to the nearest to the pretty large drainage structure. Mo to grass at 40 locations, patch 10 roads. Put up eight county road name signs, six speed limit signs and six stop signs, repaired 3C and P's, cleaned up, re-installed one, new and replaced four, hauled off rush at nine locations and trim trees and 20 game locations. All of us at nine locations and trim trees. So. We've got. I'm not going to go to the road. I've got to most to accept the road and bridge report from Commissioner Bashman, the second commission, Matthews, any further discussion on item number six. Hearing none, all those favour say aye. All those opposed to no. I just have it. I'll just carries and as always, Mr. Relayton, thank you for the good work. The union department. I appreciate that item number seven on the agenda is the county traffic report. Commissioner Taylor had asked to have that place to in the air. Yeah, I see. Doing well. The full 2020 board, all the ballets column 100 and 10 pounds, 8 and 8, a couple of ballets, yes, 8 right box, 23 cones, 46 black, four famous three new clearance, estimated damage. There's some complications with the computer work that I put on my records and one mainly being the state is yet to give me an op-ed to do my computer work, so I've had to try a little bit to make somebody do that computer work. So I have an estimated damage report about $420,000 for the damage that was within about a five month period when I learned to put in the damage in the computer. That's pretty much it for coming from the board. I'm not going to be able to appreciate that for you here. So we're just pitching bonds. I haven't had any plan numbers. I haven't had any plan numbers yet. So that's a success. Would gel like made to come here the core weight of the first 20-20 years, that will get up in present-to-beage and do with kids and folks. I'm glad this is first time that I've heard that we had Nutrient and I mean, that's a the place out near New Vamp and we thought it was a baby room where you should be. When I over looked and... I mean that's a. Sean Ford went out the place out in Ernie Bant and we thought it was a baby runway shot. When over there looked and there was a mixture of rap and we shot and all of it was there. I mean that's a pretty healthy migration from Louisiana to get here. I had a comment. I told the Gulf, we're going to be a lot of baby grown up there. It's time to get out. 30 or 40 little 30s. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. I had a comment. about 80 to 90% of my work's been cut out. It's just what people are calling the ambulance. People with paid numbers are really not getting a whole lot of calls from pigs. And I'm starting to get a few. Man, I'm always just, I mean, it's about that time of year. But, it's just really not that a lot of pig works today. It's been mainly cows, it's been doing that. Okay, I can perhaps hear a little bit, but who is it? You. I know this is probably not on your lay-ups, but 40 times. I've got a bunch of people. And I mean, there was one down there, the run-grick guys called. One day there was one down there, one on 127. I haven't seen since Spain at the level that. I've come quite a bit. And I haven't seen one. Yep. So I started this job. Well, thank you. I'll let you know my first month working. I was on the ground with the drill. Sure. You're doing some things from everything. You did the one ace. There's a piece that I don't even know what to say. But I learned something about removing that queen. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, I don't know the rate of update and actions on grants include, but not limited to SS48. There anybody changing the status of that still processing the final draw to see if we can recoup some more funds under that program. Hazard mitigation plan, I believe, I hadn't crossed out to Mr. Belt, but I believe we're still in the process of submission for reimbursement on the Haz mitigation plan. RCP, I've reached out to MRB. I believe they did mention two workshops. One, we executed and took some notes on some feedback. I've been trying to get hold of Brooke, Ms. Thompson, to schedule and coordinate what that second workshop is and when we could possibly do it. So I will continue to track her down to see what her availability is so we can make. Which then makes me think or most of you in this kind of goes along. We're not trying to get off track or most of you going to commissioners training this month. What? What are you doing for the 12th? Okay. 18th through the 20th. Thank you. And John. 24th. 24th. I've got tracking with that one and we might, maybe if she can work that, you know, gives enough time, because that's about two weeks out. So hopefully we'd be able to coordinate that piece. CDBG mid. I don't know that we have a clear indication what the status of it is right now. Given some of the executive orders that have been signed by the president, I'm not sure whether funding of that program is in jeopardy or has been, not so much jeopardy, has been suspended at this point or not. But there's no change in the status, but I do have some concern whether that was under the big overarching umbrella of halting spending on some grant programs. And then DR 4781, I have not heard anything off of it where it has been suspended. So we're going to continue to pursue it. We have a new program manager that was wanting to come over and do a face-to-face meet with us. There was an email about the freeze of that time, was I thinking good. Maybe a week ago? I don't think it's just calls and it's a little loud. But it came from the same hood. Yeah, I'm out of there moving. Let. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. and then of my students are going to mess with? We can move the class that's totally. How are the email that they may not get with you? Make sure we are handling. Okay. We're supposed to meet with. Why in turn? Or is the run time? See if we get this down and what the usher. Okay. This is just this morning. Being a change now. I mean, sounds different people and. Too many people need me. Just. No, Now I understand. I'll try to get with you after this if you've got a couple minutes right after this. So, I'd send a list of, you know, about Rome. So, kind of what happened, I mean, this is a hard and weak theme. You know, the times kind of what happened I mean this is recording you FEMA You know the funds for that using that sport budget covering bursting so we're gonna have to have so much projects a little ball so we make sure we get some money to move forward so Let's come up that spreadsheet was. You know, the basically tracking behind. As you take the mate, we're spending about seven hundred thousand on this ask for some. Then we were in last year's budget, but we completed its budget, but we didn't complete it. It's scheduled for the pros and the complete it will be simple. And then using revenue from famous or this current budget. schedule, my pros, the complicate will be simple. And then using revenue from a famous or this current budget. So that leaves us about that difference there between two. So that's why I sent that spreadsheet to you guys. Now, thank you and I know that helps understand the impact. Okay. Anything else to cover under 4781? I mean, from any of the grants and I don't think it really provided you the opportunity to have any questions, comments or concerns about any that we've covered there. Okay. Moving on to item number nine update on construction projects. We've had a couple of abbreviated owners meetings. We held up because we no longer had the construction trailer to meet in so we had a teams meeting the other day and went over some of the final little change orders but some of the work items suggest a little bity villain some of the holes on the North West corner outside the fence we had to switch out one of the ADA ban accessible signs. You know, everybody comes and does their little inspections. Well, that was one of the ones that the inspector. The, okay. So the big, you know, 10,000 pound gorilla is the internet, you know, getting into the building. The data contractor will be complete the day or tomorrow. So everything will be in and ready to go there. The bright speed is, you know, we approve that contract. And so it's progressing through the system. One of the things that my contact at Bright Speed suggested we do was go ahead and pull a copper line in and get the DSL. And so that's, you know, in fact they completed that yesterday. So we officially have internet in the building. Part of the plan there is now F8 can start their integration of setting up computers programming the firewalls. There's enough capacity in the DSL to do all of the legwork. You know such that when then the fiber is finally put in, it's plugged in and everything is operational. So Brandon and F8 and I and Barbara Cohn will have a progress meeting and kind of lay out on a Brandon's orders to move computers, but just kind of get that all done. And so things are moving. And I'm not really sure that the DSL line might not even be enough capacity. We're not crunching the kind of data within that building. That was the big news, I guess. Oh, one other, sorry. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards was there yesterday at 11 a.m. We did a walkthrough, everything went fantastic. We have three little minor issues that all we have to do is just complete. One of them was the mirror and the holding cell still had the blue stick them stuff on it. The plastic. So we got to pull the plastic off that. There was one missing screw from a a bench seat and then I had no idea why but apparently it's a standard. One of the cells is ADA compliant and you got the graph bar but there has to be some plate underneath the graph bar to keep them from hurting themselves. I have no idea how you could hurt yourself with it, but. It's a jail standard So those three things about our cone, you know, they're on it. All they have to do is just complete those three items, take pictures, send it to the jail commission, and we'll get the, uh, the occupancy for that. And I know Commissioner Matthews has been working with the security team, uh,, getting card access. With the 52nd and the 440 of the JPEGs along with the other elected officials that are in there, and working in the Compiling of the S and even children for police and key carders etc. And then access areas. Yeah, I'm not sure. I met with the, you know, with obviously the sheriff's part over there yesterday. You know, in commission, I just think it would be very wise if we sat down and wrote up just a little process on card key distribution. And who has the authority to grant certain, you know to certain areas I mean you know Mike Wake thought was Judge Kinsey controls his area. Nobody should get an access card to be able to get into his area without his sign off and and when I say that that's not just a verbal gap I, there probably needs to be a form that's filled out that says, this person has requested access into the building. What areas are they allowed? Because I mean, in same with the JPs, they should control their area. It's alright. For instance, I should not be able to just walk in there and say give me a key card access to the entire building. It's done. Okay. We have a form. I have a form. Okay. I have a list. Perfect. In the orange card. Yeah, I just, I saw that as being a free-pro because then the other thing is, you know, we've got to really tell these folks that if if they lose their card they have to immediately go just like any key to one of our buildings you know they've got to immediately and they're going over 200 keys yeah I have about another key deal oh yeah we're starting we're going to get those starting label new well we talked about yeah I guess there's a master key set that's going to have to be passed on probably to the sheriff's apartment. That's just kind of the final step of being able to allow people, you know, complete access into that facility. Yes, you know, the employees who are going to occupy. Other than that, because I was, I'm sorry, I was, I was sick that day when you had the security meeting I'm missing. I'm trying to get to that. Okay. Anything else to add or cover under item 9 that they don't construct projects. We're going item 10 is to consider actions on items to support construction projects and earning actions that the court needs taking this time Not for me. I'm just needing if you would note that no act is to be taken on Construction projects Item number 13 is to consider direct TV for the jail using the capital improvement fund. I believe you all got the information that went out concerning that. I'll tell you upfront that the capital improvement fund is not an option. We still have expenses committed under capital improvement for construction and some other items and until there's some reimbursables that come in. The expense report right now shows the capital improvement fund at 114% expense. So with that. Do we have that? Thank you very much. This is the deal guys optimum is our table provider currently. On the 15th at midnight, they no longer will provide service that that address why I don't know We didn't even get an option of hey, we're gonna raise your bill. You just got a letter that says You're done And we know that has been the service provider as it has been since day one of building that facility um And as they have sold off they they committed to continuing that contract. I have no doubt that they decided that they don't wish to go under provide services. But we have looked at a lot of things. We looked at things such as smart TVs, which were And pretty good expense. We're talking about 18 units, because we have the bi-security cases forum, we'd have to change some of our wiring, and we still have to pay for a wide-body provider on the side. I understand that cable in the jail is paid forward by end-made funds. That is not deficit for the budget in any way, shape or form. Problem that we have is that the infrastructure that building is falling apart. We know that whether this is just one of those items that is degraded over the years. So in order to put in new service, they have to run all new waters. That's why we're running on the capital expenditure. To me, that's a capital improvement in the building. And it's something that needs to be done. And it's got to be done pretty good. I would tell you that they currently have TV, because you take away TV, and then it makes their gonna start fighting. And then they're going to start destroying our building. I mean, break our expenses on repairs of that. We're going to be much worse than what it would be. But it's all this. Provided by your PV. Understand that this is just the installation of his style. It's the month of month payment fee, but like I said, it's not a budget area. I have come from the end make trust fund. The world 637 a month. No, so so, so, $9.83 per unit. It figures out to be like $168.69 a month. For the... will pay $9.83 per unit. It figures out to be like $168.69 a month for the monthly service. What this is down here at the bottom that you see the 19,588 plus sales tax, which obviously we don't pay that. That is a one-time fee of installation upfront. Or we can finance within bill for four, six, thirty, seven, six, ten months at eight point nine. What do we currently pay in October? I don't really know which one. Optimum? Yeah. $41 a month. Over. $41. Yeah. Well, I guess the reason we don't see is that comes out of the commissary. Yeah, it comes out paper. The different across our path. You all never see that. The other side of this is when we brought these folks in to even an option to be able to do direct TV or dish or whatever, they took their leaders and connected to the existing tables and they had this graph. This little machine that they plug in on one end and they have a beeper on the other. And it kind of ticks and tells them how much power can go to that table. The services so degraded there that they want at least five out of 50 in order to provide your service on that wire. We're not even pushing one wires are so old. So we have an issue there and that's that is what this money is for is to install the rec system and to replace all of the existing tape-1 ability. I'm not trying to split hairs with you, but the scope of work that we've been presented says to install 48 channel HD system and connect to existing coax distribution system. That's to the outside, yes. Well, they've got run a backbone cable from the dish to the main distribution point. Well, I don't know why that's entering. Well, I mean, I'm not trying to split errors, but I mean, you know, kind of what you're saying verbally and what what I'm reading as their proposal. Or a little bit different. You know. Yeah, this particular system is really advantageous to us for a couple reasons. One. Yeah, this particular system is really advantageous to us for a couple reasons. One, if we put in the say smart TVs, now we have to have something to attach to that smart TV to provide that internet service. So we're still going to have to find an internet service provider. Right. And put Wi-Fi throughout the building so the TVs could work on it. And then we got to buy the security panel like we put in the new building because obviously, if I'm going to spend $100 on this one TV, I want to secure it. I mean, we're right now they're watching, you know, $119 TVs from home on, you know, they don't do anything except for like 12 panels. So this particular system will add to the upstairs, we'll add a rack system that allows 24 channels in our selection up to 70 channels to be added. We select the channels who've been existing PVs, so we don't have to provide any other thing inside of the cells that the inmates can get their hands on. And the reason that that's important because we're not starting adding equipment, that's more things for them to break. I mean, they're already breaking this stuff on a very different basis. And it's not a whole lot that we can do about that. Like I said, I don't know what the options are. If taking it out of this particular budget line, I don't know if it's not an option. I don't know. but I can tell you that it's it's going to have to be done somewhere. And I think as the judge says even with that particular line on them, no matter where where we move, whether it's my maintenance budget, me and Mr. Yes, Mr. Vashem has spoken and we've tried to crunch some numbers on where we're going to take this out of maintenance. And what is that going to affect on some of the couple improvement projects that we currently have money allotted for? Because again, it puts the deficit in the budget and deficit even more. So I'll leave that in your old hands. So I'm going to get in Paris and I'm making sure there was 95,000 in there right now. We're at $49,200. One of my suggestions that I said maybe we at 49,000 who are $1. One of my suggestions about the program is that I said maybe we'd take 10,000 out of there, maybe 10,000 out of the whole land. So I think you see she has to be interested. I do think it's easy to wait for them. There will be some problems. But I thought I'd need to kind of come together and work this out and say, well, we can get the money to the destination. So what judge you said were a hundred and fourteen percent commitment under the capital improvement fund. Do we have a breakdown of that other than what's in our original I don't understand the question. I mean, you want to see a copy on this is oh that's the expense statement. Yeah, that's the expense thing You know that's on going off the thing going off the half a million dollar, you know, the other 10,000 pounds, you're other than the room is our, whatever you want to call that financial ERP system and whatever. And one of the frustrating things as a commissioner is, at least I don't have access to real time information. I have to go, which they're very accommodating. I've always got to go to the auditor's office, but I can't just sit there and you'll pull it up and you can look at this the real time. We need a hundred and fourteen percent. That's on the run rate that we're at. Not where we exist today. I mean, we currently have a balance of 567,600 or no. No, no. Playing that thing. It's not the negative notes, but I still need to do the budget amendment for the 500,000 that we just are just really tax off. So we're in code. Ah, that's right. And that's something we probably need to discuss too. Uh-huh. And if you get that right, so you're getting money back for that. OK, well that wasn't what was not in here. I got you. Yes, we got you. That's. But if we do the $500,000 budget, we'll be 60,000, $1,000 in the whole. Right. Or when we do there. Be there. And to the, I mean, I don't necessarily like financing things, you know, but as this is, Ianticipated expenditure, just running out through this year, and I used seven months, it's what I used for calculations that would be picking up March on the end, and I don't know how close the timeline is but If you did seven months of 406 That's a $2,842 I didn't didn't do the 37 cents in there I think it would be realistic To say that we could absorb $2,842 within the current jail budget. By the time we look at end of year totals for whether it's utilities or maintenance or any of those those other items, I think that's a pretty de minima amount. And then that would commit us to programming those costs. For the next. a minimum of some amount. And then that would commit us though to programming those costs for the next four and a half years. At again, round number about $5,000 a year for the $800 and some change. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page. I'm going to go to the next page.

I'm going to go to the next slide. why I didn't do it just to help everyone out for it. It is a 54. I looked at my inmate trust fund to see if I had being a good money to help everyone out. It is a 50 point. I looked at my inmate trust fund to see if I had been in the money to be able to pay that monthly fee. And I think I would have been pretty close in the end of the day. However, inmate trust fund in Calum, I can't enter into a contract with anyone in the fund monthly payment. Now, that's the reason one we can't do the rest. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to do? Wow, it's gonna have to come out of some bami blano. You know, no joking aside. You know, and I've said this to you, you live and bleed this budget every single day. And you know, as this commissioners, we live and breathe it in spurts. You're including data, you're looking at numbers every of every single day. And so all I'm asking is, okay, my opinion that this is a repaired maintenance item. That's my opinion. I believe that currently they haven't enough money in this work, the payment option. Oh, the monthly payment option, not the... It was not the full... I mean, they could do the full mail, but... I mean, they're going to be some tap right now. Yes. My suggestion on that was $15,000 of the prepared maintenance of this money budget. Right now I'm at $224,000 to learn the $5,000. We started at $50,000. But that means that there could be some other happen, but you know, it's $10,, not for this lot of money, but again, you know, just thinking outside the box. That's something that's not the quote one to talk about because I know this is the issue that we're going to have to address in my opinion today. And out of yours and then kind of out of the jailJL minus. That's the most perfect way we'd like to do it, you know, I'd like to appreciate your willingness for creativity because I too had to send in something that we put out to do it as obvious that we haven't had much time, I mean obviously, often didn't give us any kind of warning which they really don't have to because I'm sure we didn't have a contract with them, we're probably on a month a month so all they had to do was say, we're done which again I talked to folks the other day about that, we don't have anybody really watching in our contracts, so expiration dates for a year, as a... We don't have anybody really watching our contracts. So expiration dates for any of them. As a central repository. That's what that sounds reasonable to you. I would say that the reasonable thing to do and following the same mentality, but it should be charged, the expenditure should be charged to the repair and maintenance from the jail. And if we expense all of that line item, then the budget amendment would be to transfer funds from the overall maintenance into their not to exceed 10,000. Because that would most accurately reflect what those expenses were for the jail in itself for the for the year. That would be I think the recommended accounting to handle that. Well my question is what is the balance in the commissary? that changes every day. What is it today? That I don't know. What was it yesterday? I can tell you that the commissary fund has about three or $4,000 in it. Don't give me wrong. The end of the month it may have $10,000 in it. But there are things in the comm that are fine and we have to pay back for the. Because it's itself, I know. But it also says under the Texas jail standards that it can be those funds can simply be used to be doing technology and equipment. Yes, it won't use the benefit of the inmates. Correct. So I agree. To benefit inmates, let that fund pay for it. Not a contract. The contract can come through the county, but funding source can be elsewhere. My boss. You may talk to the monthly payment being taken out of those. Sure. Come on. Make up for $4,000 and they can be up to $10,000. You to be thanking them. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. Sure. I'm going to be thanking them. It's not for my benefit. You know, I mean, I would say give them the Bible and I've worked in a finished injury and I've worked with a lot of uploads. I understand the need for the TV's. Trust me, that's not it. But if you know, they eat more lip balder or eat more snickers or whatever, then you know, they're getting system. And I don't know how that would look for the refugees. I would, let's say the county does contract for this. And then the inmate trust fund repays the county. It also says that I can't pay to the county to cover something that should be a budget line. So how do I do that? How do I pay back the county and not have that question? And I guess that's the question for Mr. Wood. There would be an auditor of that account. That would be, but there's nothing in there. I don't know of any standard that says they have to have a TV. So that's not a mandatory budgetary is line item. There's all the same percentage. Right. Correct. And I understand the purpose of it. Don't get me wrong. But I'm looking at it options that, I mean, I believe in restitution and all this kind of stuff. I said on several committees that do this, that the violator pays for the service themselves, and they pay for the victims. I do this. I don't see a problem with this. Personally, now the 30s, 90s, he might say, you know, Kyle, you're enough. He said it once or twice. And I don't know, but he's been wrong once class too. Right? I can tell you that we are currently looking at bidding a new commentary or re-upping in the existing commentary provider. Some of the things that I'm asking for is, you know, like right now, there's maybe 30 items that they can get through the current provided that we have. You know, and based on what the inmates are saying, they want. And I know that that sounds kind of stupid, giving them what they want to jail, but they're paying for it. And so if they want it, they're going to spend more money. Right. And that's what makes this money, that money goes into that trust, and that's what builds that balance. Yeah. I can also tell you that when we talked about budgetary line items, I'd use that budget this year to buy all new uniforms for the Olympics, because our other inmates literally a patch in the back signs. It can be people loaded. So that's why some of that budget is way down. Kitchen equipment that we haven't restructed accounting. We're paying for it on the commissary funds. I'm buying the things that I can out of commissary funds. You will eliminate the cost, the overall cost to the job budget. So, what I want to do is, I can out of commissary funds who will eliminate the cost, the overall cost to the job budget. But I'm also restricted on what I can spend at Honeywell. Yeah. I know I'm looking here at the whole list of it. But that would be my suggestion looking at that alternative to the commissary fund paying for it versus the citizens of the county. Councilman. That is an extraordinary compelling argument. I'll also mean that I don't suspect right here that the funds on program service and activities that improve the health safety and security of the image and the facility. I mean, I'm just saying it's I think that he might make paper that you know, we're looking out for the text papers. I'm just don't quote on that leader of the don't smile leader leader They're not. That's just my thought. I'd be better. I'd be more inclined to do it that way. I mean, happy. And the direct have any option of a smaller package. Versus the 70 channel. No. Is the actual GME of smaller package? Well, so the deal is that the package starts with one of these more channels, upgradable to seven. When the actual sleep with itself is smaller, you can get a nice to seven channel. However, when I get $70, we're only getting $24. We're looking at the basic factor. But if you could go up to $70, not playing anymore, well, I can go up to $70 and it cost me more for a month, right? If we could get in. They're good and increments of the well. I had 12 more channels to cause me like bring one out. They have a little bit of the amount of it going to go. Yeah. 24 we pay that that bill would be 100 and what a month. Believe it's 168, 169 dollars. Bob, I'm gonna just keep on the channel. You got all the derivatives. The granddaired up. I'm gonna go with that. Well, we actually looked at that. We looked at those HD and pins, but it's in time of year. So I have to attach it to each TV and there's no work need to put that sort of, go to the whole third root and stick it, you know, 18 of these little antennas up there in order to get service. And I'm going to tell you, I mean, if you put something in the inner itself, they're going to work. 100% I'm riding to pay you I mean if you put something in it itself there's 100 percent I'm right here my working prison I don't know I'm not depending on the age of the TV some of them are not digital that they would have to be all digital ready TVs in order to receive over the airways. I would, you know, just, I would maybe disagree that you could put an antenna connected to your coax system and you would get signal in each one of the TVs. Then the question would be, are they digital ready? Because they did away with analog many years ago. Well, looking at the TVs, I mean they're probably not analog. Yeah, I don't know. Probably. Right. I think they're probably digital capable of that at our end. Right. I mean since I've been there we've probably replaced very cold. So in the last year. How do you contact with the roof? That's what I don't have an annual number within time. It's actually been one that has been using these values and I've found that outside of what we've got. Thank you. All of us. It's not. Yeah do that. One day, you say there's no term that's trying to make it. So, the front-off was Friday. You get it now. It's Friday, you get it. Well, can we go ahead and do a pro-guide? Do be ready, and then figure out what we're going to pay the month to pay? Well, we've got to propose a vote, but we don't have a contract to approve. I think the funding, at least for this FYI is available within their budget, depending on, you know, how you wanna look at it. I mean, I don't think the, the budget, the jail has, but I'm gonna assure you, I'm gonna go through that. Then, I think about that, I mean, because I mean, things like that. And I mean, that's why I'm gonna say, like, the footkin fell to the other right, because I'm on the spent, and we've about $1,000. I mean, the dress to a lot of issues, although we don't have a roof, but there again, something could come up, I mean, But these buildings, they're called old buildings. But I just feel like there's something we need to try to address today, and you can come all around. come up, I mean, I, these buildings, they're called old buildings. But I just feel like it's something we need to try to address today. You can get the ball rolling. Do you have a contract from? Did they give you issue or contract? No, so it's all again. So the right TV is just, I mean, just like you do at your house. Yeah, I understand that. But normally when they, when they talk about running lines and everything, they have some form of darkness. I guess and I don't have that right now what I have is the well right on the way to the back. I'm sure that if I call them today and have for a contract they give one over if courts to decline or so decline be that we cover, and you sign and approve. I have no problem signing a contract as long as the commissary's photo can fight for it. I'm not thinking. You know, it might take you a little bit later when you leave. But I think I might go time with him. But should. Well, now in'll be honest with you, Mr. Matty Dodd. Right now, we're trying to do the mid-process, and have a vendor, a new vendor put up. That's actually a run out. And when it does, we're going to have to provide that according to Gerald Stander, until we can find a vendor. And if you guys boating today under that vendor would be the Congress going to run out before we're able to supply that. So the Congress is very fun. We're probably going to pick pretty good hit here in the next couple of months. I don't know that that money would be available in the next couple of months. So your current contract for your commissary folks, they're not willing to extend it. No, that's not what I said. So, that's what I'm asking. Yes, that's what I'm asking, sorry. So what happens is Mr. Wood does a audit of our campaign. It is required by the share of every five years to renew or to put out for our peace to renew or to bid on that contract. And that's where we're at. We found a discrepancy from Mr. Wood's Fountain discrepancy in the current contract. And what the timeframe is. So we had to give them 90 days. And we're trying to give RFPs done and get all that done within that time. Okay 90 days from what? The lead that's going to run out on March 1st March 1st. I think the letter was in out on January 5th. Is that right? You know, somehow that summer that neighborhood, I think, speech to a specific name. I just wanted to put that right in the area. And it depends on how you view the 90 days. The view of 90 days, including the weekends, the views, 90 work days. That depends where it's going to end in March or in April. The letter that I sent down was this is 90 day in that contract in April. And I didn't give a date. That way they could figure out. Now I don't. I've spoken with Sherif about it. And we are going to attempt to contact the current provider and to ask them if we don't get RFP in place or a provider, would they be willing to extend this without a contract and work day by day, per se, to continue to provide us with counterfeited funds? Again, they probably would agree to that, but it's going to take a huge hit on the side of our portion of what we're going to get. Because I don't know if they're going to even put in on their opinion. If they are then I think it would be we hope them to say my name. Oh yeah, So you start. Yeah, I don't think that I don't think you I don't think it'd be an issue. My first money. Anybody that works things like that when you make money out of it. We're just function. But I said my face. I had no problem with the rate. As long as I'm very comfortable. button. And that's what I love about this process is it's a, it's a flow I came in with one, one thing. Then, Commissioner Matthews with his experience has come up that I think a very viable The is not probably the easiest, you know, for you guys to implement, you know, but when I sit out there and look to the few people that are sitting in the room and say, yeah, it makes sense. It makes should be paying for their own laundry items. You know, form? Not a luxury item. That's a necessity. I think we have to... That's exactly as many of them. We wouldn't want to see without their uniforms on. So I think we have to provide those. But when it comes to TV, Snickers bars, that kind of stuff, I think, they need to fund it, you know, themselves. So I'm gonna agree with it now. I just don't know how we can, how we phrase that in a motion to get this thing going because I also on the other side, I, you know, I think it would be who, the court not to have an interruption in this service. I mean, it would just be best. You know, not to. You mean you like you said you worked in there, you know, the just... Yeah, but if they're going to have to recable that whole thing, they got four days. Yeah. No, I'm not laughing. But you, that's a valid, that's a very valid point. I don't know. There's going to be an interruption. Well, I'll be sure. Anybody can. I mean, you might find some vehicle in there, shall we copper that back? You have a lot of fasteners. It's hard. The way I understand it is. They do one cell at a time. and they basically go down to their school and connect the two new existing cable, and they both interact with, and so they both interact with the bike. And I understood that they could probably pre-cable at entire jail unless someday. But what I, they'll understand it now. I've never done that before. No, that makes sense. I don't know. No, I don't know what I've been talking about. OK, to kind of summarize, this is what I'm hearing from the court. And this is what I think we can figure out a way to put it into a motion to move forward. Without splitting hairs when we talk about the revenue sources that the jail has available to them, that there is an option for them to be able to pay for this service as a payment plan within their current budget. So given that we are on a very condensed timeline, if court were willing to authorize the signature on a contract, and then we ratify that contract at our next meeting, which is that something we have done in the past, that would allow us to begin like today, to start that process so it wouldn't. So it would minimize whatever lag time there may be but that would be my recommendation to the court. I'm going to tell you a real I challenge the buddies in there what we're going to run out on money. In a commissary?? Not the commissary fund. Construction, the maintenance. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Okay. You're talking about the, but paying the monthly payments out of commissary. Yes. Yeah, I'm fine with that. And the motion, the way the good frame up is. It puts on its back on back on the service departments. They can't fund it out of something different. They're going to run out of the end using the commentary fund. It would be. That at least. That at least. At least covers this fiscal year. I mean. You know. Okay. You know, I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. We are intermission to why we are trying to crack the emotion. and Thank you. I'm right one here. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, the other way we take the 10-by-all to the other side. We prepare the maintenance for the wear to the... Okay, other than that, we take the 10-bylton out of the repair maintenance. What do we have to do that over the budget limit? Okay. The two courses of action that we're looking at is there's a lump sum payment of 20,000 or a payment plan. If the intent is to utilize the commissary funds, which I do not believe there's a balance of 20,000 in the commissary funds at this point. So it would be a payment plan. So there would not be a need for to move any money because the contract that we would enter into would be based off of a payment plan as opposed to a lump sum payment. And, you know, not having the contract in front of us, we don't know if that 437 a month includes the sales tax or not. So it could be a little bit lesser than the average or not. But the order is X and straight up. I was really poor. What? So that. So it could be. Are we tax exempt? Yeah. We, we shouldn't be, shouldn't be any tax exempt. So that's kind of what I was saying was, you know, okay. So yeah, the 1958 is probably the actual 406 37 month for 60 months at peak point 90, Yeah, if you if you did the math, it comes at like 24, 25, six, like that. That 24,382 20. So over the 60 month period, we pay 4,000, so well, the It makes with pay for $4,794.20 interest over the 60 months. And then after that it would revert. The four, okay, we have one question before we. So in the, and I know you for sure, he Spencer did a lot of in that 406 37 a month. Does that include the monthly? No, it does not. Right. So it put me at like $710 a month. That's fine. That's fine. I don't know that. It does mean no good to pay for it out of commissary funds. If I can say I can pay the contract and I can't pay the monthly bill. Wait, now I'm not trying to go to that scene and go to the court where she's can do with that. And I'm in a grand with you guys. I mean, I run a jail. I can make sure you find everything. find everything. But unfortunately, that's just not the way it is when we have a funder who's funded by people on that area. I'm not going to have no money. There's some people who ask majority who don't even do commissary. So it's not like some of the other counties around us, we're playing in Calmingville time that have a three or four million dollar balance in year. Our balance as it was monthly and it was usually a couple hundred dollars. Didn't you say it was, the monthly was about 167, 168? 168 to 169 somewhere in the case. So that makes it about 575 a month. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start with the first one. I'm going to start wrong. We did work, we did not say it very well. We can't. How quick can we get a balance of 20,000, we just pay for all the things. And it's not the way that I can can move and just find them out there. Anything like a lot of money for what they're saying on it. But I mean, I know you see the guy who's on the table but you would have thought they'd put that in here if they're gonna run the tank. And I know it's for the entire install and the right system and the disinterview and all of them. I understand, but I would just think that they would have fitted in here like so many feet or lose that. They'd have some, I don't know some guy right now, the main. Oh, they're, I mean, I would say they're horrible. Them and disfellows. Wow, and they grew up. I've had those countries negotiate with them in May and they don't get it. I don't have to. But even when I did, I don't, I've looked at my business and before they cost me it. Nothing, never was plus there. I was just eight years in a business company. I lived in a company. No, what was today? Well, I think and they realized too that this is gay smoke tax relief, what are your options? There's two providers in the team. That's it? Yeah. You know, unless you're running a YouTube service, or an internet service like the new TV or something like that, which we look at. Again, smart TVs and the inmate to ability have that path forward and to pass that path forward on to everybody in their family when they visit. And you know what I was saying, you know, there's a shove down when that's so challenging. I mean, if you have Netflix at all, you understand it. They're now tracking DC your PRP numbers on every computer that logs into their system. But as soon as people turn, I'm heading to build it on to give it to all my friends. So they stopped that. I don't think they need all that in jail English. And these providers are getting smart. They're losing money. I still like to antenna on top of the mill and run the cable TV and just local channels. Things more like whatever you're going to know. I'm not sure. Well, I'm setting up a hotel. But I became fat if they if they're not watching TV they're probably going to be fat. Well, in my problem, you know, some of you have got the provisions but most of them are. And you already have given them something, right? I can give you some. And you take away the vacators, I understand it's appropriate. We can say, really, they're not. What matters is when they start breaking stuff, because they don't have other things to keep their months occupied. I mean, it's a balance every day, even with humans. I'm staying there. We've all, frankly, looked at it up. There's a reason why there's several things I never did in my life because I didn't want to do it. One of them would be. I would not want to work or run a jail. That's just a bad. Yeah. So I rely on your opinions and expertise and so yeah I get that. We need to provide you know kind of service. What I think, I know I just continue to struggle with. I hate in my life having to make quick snap decisions. And this is a quick snap decision. And I don't think any, hopefully no disrespect to you, Spencer is not here. We don't really know what kind of real due diligence was done. I do think an antenna is a viable option. Because that'll run over pretty much stream. It's a, there's coax already in there. It'll that signal will run over that. As long as the TVs are digital ready, they'll get, well, shoot these days, 58 channels, half of them are telemundo and that, but you still get on the other channels. Get back from slavery, right? Get to... half of them are telemundo and that, but you still get plenty of channels. Get back some favorites, right? Get TV or meet TV. I just think there's, you know, me personally, I just think there might be a few more opportunities that we have. It really comes out of me. I just hate making quick decisions because when you make quick decisions, you may be too to appreciate you. I said I were going to be bad decisions. Yeah, poor that you'll go, man, I wish we had maybe had to inmate commentary on that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that could be either way. It doesn't matter. You know, if the commentary pays for it, then whether it's direct TV or whether it's antenna or whatever. Was there a possibility of taking the time of the jail of the budget and then just let the compensator fight theirself back? I think you might be walking a fine line with that that approach. If we take it out of the compensator fund and for some reason, and then Phil commission came back and said no, you can't do that. We can reimburse the come to the city fund out of the budget. But to say that we pay for it out of the budget and then try to reimburse out of the come to the city fund, again, if the jail commission says, no, you can't do that. Because for what of reason, then those are funds that we've lost from the budget that we can't recoup. Just a little mention of the question. Yeah, but it's perfect. I like your question. I would say in my way of thinking, I don't think it can, because it's very clear that it says that it It makes trust fund Money's cannot be used to supplement or to pay for anything that is a budget budget item So I think at the point that we pay for it out of the budget that we made it a budget diamond. I think that would be an issue. Well, now I mean, the sign with the monthly payment. I'm sorry. That would make the sign with the monthly payment. For the open the service. You're paying the monthly payment and we paid your back. I'm paying the monthly payment. You're paying the world saving your money. Yeah. Now the conversation, right. The conversation account can be used for anything that improves. Improves the internet. Yeah, I understand that. But I don't know. You're saying the conversation couldary couldn't run out of money, or couldn't come with the 600 a month for five years. I just have a question and whether or not you can take it out of one of the other jail budgets. I, for the system, that the commissary paid back. I don't know. There's two many questions that are not answered whether it's legal or not legal and all that. I just don't understand if I'll guess. I have a few questions. and I'm going to play board up front, but they're getting reimbursed back. And if you come straight, you can't have all the seven of them 600 a month. They're going to do a brief, then get this takes longer to come back. You can get it working, if I had back in turn 10, you know. Well, I know Arthur County bought a stopper to transport in, make back and forth to medical mental health appointments. And it's likely a permitted use of cum circulatory. And a county bought that vehicle and the money went with paid out of commissary funds back to the local budgeting operating expense under section 351.04. I'm fine with it as long as the commissary funds pay for it, but we're about to be to get the hold of it. And we need to take a saddle off that stuff. I'm going home. Yeah. I have, I have, thank you. Yes. I have a very, very, very crafted emotion that I think that we could, and I would welcome any additions to it, but see if there's kind of, and what this does is it gives the sheriff's apartment a lot of latitude inside which system, how they do it. I think make a motion to give the sheriff's apartment approval to move forward with the Direct TV installation. I'm going to put or other system, if I think we could look at the antenna system, and enter into a contract to be ratified at a future court date. Funding will come from the Sheriff's Budget via the commissary fund. How safe and tank. Is that? Well, they thought. Now there's some there's some latitude you've given left and right limits to operate within that. And. I. It meets the the sniff test. It meets the sniff test. This new would you like me to repeat that or sign it off? Okay. Sometimes it doesn't look like it's glad to. So we've got a motion from Commissioner Wettel. Is it and is everybody clear on the motion? Okay. And a second from Commissioner Matthews. Any further discussion on item number 13? Hearing none, all those are flavors say aye. All those opposed to no. I just have it motion carries. Item number 14 is to consider purchasing new office equipment for the Sheriff's Office from the Capital Improvement Budget. Again, that information went out in your packet. It looks like they're looking for a desk valued at about $720 and a workstation computer stand or an I understand about $70 lower than quoted Amazon, um, prices there, um, again, I would do two. It's two. It's two. Okay, so 1440. Uh, and then, uh, $15, $18,000 included in the other, uh, the feeder diagram right here, here taking from the band Okay, well my number one question is What deaths are being utilized right now so one of the deaths that was being used in broken And we've taken it out. I mean literally was unsaved. We've saying, taking it out. So, there's two people working at one desk. I don't know if you've got a, been inside of the facility, inside of where it represents now. But there is a, a window station because I used to be a location came and built in, a counter-top with a cabinet underneath it that they're using to people are using now. So they're kind of chairing a computer and all of that stuff. What we propose with this is if we are allotted to replace those two desks that are there, remove the one that's the permanent management, then we'll have two work stations in the same amount of area. Okay, and I'm I'm kind of with that so in the Sheriff's Office budget. And again, I'm going off the January 31st expense report. Other equipment is a line item that had a beginning balance. It was originally budgeted for 6000. It currently has a balance of $5,400 in some change. That's the first place I was looking to go and I know we have. And Judge, I think that Bobby, I've got an extra desk at my office. It's a sport book. It's got a pedestal on one side. They'll then draw a pedestal. They's got the lower door in the drawer it came Can't really move it probably wouldn't When we add there we have somebody we moved it It's just set in the corner of my conference room. So I don't want to get rid of it But basically I needed it somewhere but we've got we've got everybody situated now and we don't we don't need it So we do have that that for it. It's not like it's just for food Probably out like it's 16 which is But it is a valuable Not to go look at it and see it's almost good and hot and it's not wrong whether it's good. It looks brand new Yeah, and we're gonna yeah talk about know, we're great at salvaging stuff. Of course, also the JPEAN's office will be moving here very, very shortly. And they're going to have a bunch of, we'll have several deaths that are going to be available. I don't know what kind of thing they're in and stuff, but I bet you there's an reason. I'm sorry. I don't. I just I I don't think I would ask is it if if if in when emotion is made that's what we're going to do. I'll be fine with that. I'm all about three out of eight items without versus ink but that we put that in there because I've already seen when you close an office here it's like when you go over over, it's empty. Where'd all those guests go? I don't know. They're here one day and somebody scavenged them quick. I think the way it's proposed, I don't think there going to be a motion because you have $5,600 within your equipment category that you could buy brand new dash or you can go shopping within the county and see if there's something available. I don't think there's an emotion that needs to be made. So I think the reason that we brought this up under capital expenditures because we were told we're invited. That line item was going everybody's line item on office front and chair and quit. It's going to be moved under capital expenses. And then when we needed any office furniture that we would have to come and request that from the board. I'm a nice, that's what y'all said. Yeah, it was. And I'm not going to, I'm not going to take any, anything back from what we said. If it was an exact correct way, and I'm not going to take anything back from what we said. It was said exactly that way, but I will tell you what, sir, the budget is Mayus. It's a Mayus. I apologize to Mr. Laiton, that if we did something in his budget, we should have never done it. I called him in a apologize. He's the end of the reason for apologize. I didn't. Because I didn't injustice. My first clothing didn't end up in the citizens we can. So my thing that is we thank no actions. I'm interested in new office equipment for the sheriff's office from the Capitol of Cruz. And we make videos with what we have right now. And we hope that we can buy these toys or new furniture or new equipment once I wear yours just as the easiest way for me to say it with Creole County is in the back. That's even better. I wish we could be back. And my piece, that's being my motion. The fact that election on that part of the year. We have a motion to take no action on item number 14. And a second from Commissioner Matthews and a second from Commissioner Clailer. Is there any other discussion at this time on item number 14? Hearing none, all of the favor say aye. All those opposed to no. I just have it motion carries. Item number 15 is to pay bills. We've had bills presented in the amount of $1,451,821. And 37 cents. Right, folks. I just have a couple. I guess we're really more questions. Mr. Could you just look just a suggestion when you. When Karen. of inputting this data, I rely a tremendous amount on that the stub category, which showed where these are going to go. And I've got pretty good at figuring some of them out, but one of the ones that, so Amazon, just got some A3 MO in no department. I have no idea of the way that is. I think there's like another one in here for Perry, which I'm assuming that probably Perry office supply of Perry services. Yeah, what departments? I'm going to capture that information within the software. Just it's limited on what gets printed. I get it. If there's any way that could be just for me, when I'm going through here, I'll go down and I look and I say, okay, I get that one that's the share spot. That's road bridge that didn't make housing. But when I just see a blank, I have no idea. There's a budget code on there. There's a number of seven numbers. Uh, gosh. And now you're asking me to go do, dig it up, do work. If I don't want to go towards 76 or two of the owners, I mean, there's a panel. You missed my earlier comment of the antiquated system that we have. I've never been an officer of a company. And I consider I'm an officer of the company that I have not had access to all of the financials at my fingertips, you know, that I would be able to go in and look at this, I'm very capable of going in and looking at this stuff, but I don't have any got capabilities. No, she's asking the question. And I'm so cold on there, I assume there was, and there's every department has a code like 93475. If you see something on there there. I assume there was. I mean, there's a every department has a code like minus 3475. If you see something on there, it's got a 3475. And it just goes right to chose the key. And I'm not. I'm not up for jeopardy yet. I told you I did there. It just. And look, the auto department's always been fantastic by going ask them. for an expense statement. If I go and ask them to come in a in a receipt but to me especially in this day and time of what we're doing with our federal government efficiencies are just you're horrible. It's crazy that I would take up somebody else's time for something I can look up myself and I'd grant it I will now give that at least but I have to go back to my physical manual book. Sturks, you've been doing it so long you probably know 80% of them by heart. So anyway, just a couple of, there's any. If we need to meet offline, then you can maybe show me how I can find it better. Sorry. I second pay the bills. Okay, we've got a motion from Commissioner Matthews, second from Commissioner Wettel, any further discussion on paying bills? Hearing none, all those of you say aye. Aye. All those opposed say no. I just have it motion carried or for us. Commissioner Matthew. Senator, you can't see the messages that are in there. They're new and I hold down, down gate before the power phone and youes and had to head here to the same stuff. These three transformers are these three containers that are always east-side and building. Two of my transformers, they're going away. One will stay. That's just where everything looks in. But the transformer is going to come over here in a second pole is going to be set. They could not give me an actual date. just where everything looks in, but their transformer is going to come over here in a second post going to be set that could not give me an actual date, but at some time and they're estimating that happened on the weekend, just how square I'll go down, to include the server room, etc. I've these with most department heads, but they can't give me a time or a date. But it's going to happen in this whole downtown area, if it includes the jail and anyone. I'm happy about the rain and already popped out for the recreation business. That's all I have. Okay, thank you. Commissioner Herald. I think I'd like to just throw out there the support maybe consider a resolution to change the name back to forhood. Our Secretary of Defense just changed it back to for brag and I think if we crafted a resolution and got some of the other counties around here, I'd like to see it back to for good. I mean, yeah, I mean, we're going to make hay while we can. I'll be bringing to the court. Through this bright-speed process in my commentary earlier about how we have a very poor method of keeping up with contracts. You know, they were digging through and they said, you guys don't even under contract for this building. And so they sent me an updated contract. And so I'll be bringing that to you. It's got to be done by February 20th. I didn't want to clog. I didn't know what this court was going to look like. So I'll give that all together. Maybe even have a record that we write speed come in and talk to us about our internet services. But yeah, she was like, well, I told you they had, I mean, names of people that, I don't even know if they're alive anymore, that's working to come in. Secondly, I've requested last year, I'll request again, and I think we see it. I'm going to ask for a budget review at our next court meeting where we get our expense statements for each department. And just look and see if there's any things that are that are glaring, which I think we're going to see. And then last but not least, I apologize. This HTCAA presents a problem for me every quarter because they scheduled there's me and the commission out of Hamilton because we have our sports on Tuesday. We bowed, we are, we sent out a survey, everybody said no, they wanted to keep it on the date that they did. I told them I said, look, it's going to impact me attending. I did not know about this workshop until Friday afternoon. I had committed to that board to make it for them. I mean, they throw it to make it for them. I mean, they throw it from the very forefront of every meeting. So I will not be making the workshop afternoon on the in-line pass list at the HCCAA board trainings that they did. Can I borrow 30 seconds from your time? Yes. Health insurance. We talked about more after something. Health insurance this year. It's February. It's been good March before you know it. It's going to be June before you know it. I. Hopefully, I know you said that if something you were interested in pursuing this this budget year. I can't think but that it's time to probably get a product on that discussion. We can get something about maybe it's just just the way it is. We get something out no further for equal March. We get it back in in April. I think about it through May. I mean it's going to be budget time.. It just locked out. I don't agree. I know that's on the treasure that mine and they have reached out to a couple in there doing some research. I know Sherry's doing some research on it, trying to gather the options. And I think this is true. We have to gather all the information now. These guys won't engage with us until we get closer. I mean, they'll start talking to us or maybe we can bring people in the house. Yes. I hear you're loud and clear. I made a note of that. Thanks, sir. Yes. Thank you. Commissioner Rashman. Commissioner Taylor. You're on the right. Very good. Well, that world over. Query will city. OSA. Volunteer fire department had a very successful. Our lab considered very successful to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. a snippet on Facebook. I don't know the accuracy of it, but apparently there has been a call to have a protest or demonstration on February 16th Sunday afternoon at the courthouse. I'll reach out to Gainesville PD as well as the Sheriff's Department. They're certainly more than welcome to demonstrate and exercise their rights of freedom of speech in a peaceful respectful manner, but given that they had identified the courthouse as that location. we want to take the proper actions to ensure the safety and security of the building. And in no way to infringe upon their right to demonstrate and exercise their freedom of speech rights. In fact, I do support it and if possible, I will attend because I don't even know exactly what it's all about. Like I said, I don't know the validity of it. So I'm not trying to concern you, but I want to make you aware that that is something that is being circulated. I had a very good meeting with Johnny Werdell from Central County Services. There's some unique things that Bell County is putting in place as far as mental health services and versions of mental health individuals. And right now, she informed me that their diversion center, if you will, has open bed spaces. And she's gonna coordinate to myself, Judge Blackburn, to possibly see if we can enter into an agreement of some type to be able to capitalize on those bed spaces. And then even as Mr. Belt, I believe, has alluded to in the past, there are some regional opioid funds that are still hanging around out there that potentially could go into a more regional effort that I think would make the criteria of the usage of those funds. I don't know if you did the time to get it filled up there. See if this is the sign by. I'm gonna to favorite stuff to you or not. I just want to... I'll follow up on those meetings that they started in Philcoun, they're starting to have some in Hamilton County as well and they just started having some in Coriocoun. The second Thursday of each month to visit with stakeholders, I don't know if they didn't think about the person that followed them on health commitments. They invited to the first meeting, what they did think about them by the first meeting, the second meeting, coming up in March. And hopefully, after my attendance at the second meeting, I'll have some more information about what their long term plan is, but it sounds like it's along the same line of a kind of ghetto resources. And what people are at direction where they need to go. Yes. What do they need to do? Yes. And we're this, and I'll make this brief, because I don't want to get too far off the intent of what a judge's report is, but as part of Bell County's expansion in their jail, they have cells that are set aside as mental health cells and where and you're more than welcome to jump in on this Mr. Bell Belte, if I mispeak or am correct on this, where their process would be, for those that require competency hearing or assessment to be able to continue through the judicial system, they are going to have certain number of beds in their jail, where they will do in-house competency restoration or evaluation assessment. Where our current situation is that once they are incarcerated and deemed to need to have a competency evaluation, they go on a list to be able to get a bed in a state hospital. And that waiting list is pretty extensive. Those beds are more valuable than gold. So in essence, Bell County is taking a proactive stance and being able to process the accused through the system as quickly as possible with what's under their control. I believe overall we would have an opportunity at some point to maybe partner with the Bell County to be able to take advantage of that process. Possibly possible. Because what they're going to be able to do is much much more efficient than what we're able to do right now. Did I accurately portray that system, Mr. Bell? You know more about what got along and another generalization of the investigation. Exactly what the long time pointed to. They certainly do need complete questions. But I do anticipate that there will be some movement along those lines in this calendar year And sooner rather than later Okay, that's that's all I have We do have a workshop set up with architects from this afternoon It's an informative workshop. No decisions to be made out of that. As we recess, I would ask that you take a moment to come sign the minutes so I can get those to Ms. Newton for her documentation. Any real quick any alibiis under reports for anyone? Hearing none, we are in recess until one three. Thank you.
