[4. Receive presentation from Sewell Fleet Management.]

GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONERS. >> GOOD MORNING. >> WE ARE EXCITED BE PARTNERING WITH MIDLAND COUNT SCHEDULE PROVIDE THE RESULTS FROM THE FIRST QUARTER.

WE TYPICALLY DO QUARTERLY REVIEWS WITH ALL CLIENTS. THOSE USUALLY LAST ABOUT AN

HOUR. WOULD YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF. >> I'M SIMON REID WITH SEWELL FLEET MANAGEMENT. LIKE I SAID THIS TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR, HOUR FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE THIS WILL BE FASTER. WE WILL HIT A HIGH LEVEL OVER VIEW IS IS TALK ABOUT

[00:05:04]

DON'T HESITATE TO ASK. RIGHT OFF THE BAT I WILL INTRODUCE THE TEAM MANAGING.

THE MIDLAND COUNTY ACCOUNT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON IS WORKING TO WORK WITHIN THE PROGRAM. IN SHOP COORDINATOR SOMEONE TO BE THERE ON THE FACILITY WE HIRED COURTNEY GRAHAM IN SHOP. SHE WORKS AT THE SHOP IT FACILITATE WORK BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND IN SHOP PROVIDER AND THE DRIVERS AS THEY COME. BRIAN IS OVER ENTIRE FLEET MANAGEMENT THE DAILY CONTACT. MANAGES REPAIRS. HE WORKS TO MAKE SURE THAT VENDORS ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING AND IS KINDS EVER THE DAILY PARTNER WITH THE FLEET TIMEI'M SIMON REID THE FLEET SUCCESS MANAGER. I PROVIDE ANALYSIS AS WE GET DEEP ARE IN THE NUMBER. WHAT I WANT TO DO IS KINDS OF WALK THROUGH THE PHILOSOPHY THAT WE PROVIDE FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT FOR THE COUNTY OF MIDLAND. PARKING LOT IS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORK HOW THINGS WORK. FROM THE DRIVER'S PERSPECTIVE. SO, WHAT WE PROVIDE OR WHAT WEER -- OUR GOAL IS, IS TO REDUCE THE TOTAL COST FOR YOUR FLEET ASK PART OF THAT IS DEPENDING MAKING SURE WE HAVE VEHICLES AT THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE REPAIRED BY RIGHT PROVIDER.

AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT HOW WE MINIMIZE THE DOWN TIME SO THE ASSETS ARE PROVIDING THE RESOURCES OR PROVIDING THE SERVICES TO THE CONSTITUENTS OF COUNTY.

>> WHAT WE WANT THE DRIVERS TO DO. THIS IS OUR OPTIMAL WORKFULLY.

WE WANT THE DRIVER TO CALL THE 800 NUMBER WHEN THEY NOTICE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE IT DOWN HERE. THE IDEA BEHIND THIS CALLING IN.

WE TRIAGE THAT VEHICLE. WE CAN DIRECT WHAT VEHICLE TO THE BEST PROVIDER THAT WILL COST THE COUNTY THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY. GREAT EXAMPLE.

IF IT IS A VEHICLE THAT IS A 24. 20,000 MILES AND HAVING ELECTRIC ISSUES THAT IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF A WARRANT REPAIR WE DIRECT THAT DRIVER TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT AFFECTED FASTEST. HOWEVER, IF THAT DRIVER JUST DRIVE TO BARN TAKE THAT VEHICLE IT GOTTA WAIT IN LINE IN THE SERBS CENTER. WILLING DIAGNOSED TO FIND OUT IT IS A WARRANT ISSUE. AS IT IS MOVED THAT TAKE TIME FROM THE VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE IS IT IS CREATING A BACKLOG IN THE SHOP THEY CAN'T DO OR SHOULD BE DOING.

IT SUSPECT SLOWING THAT TOTAL PROCESS. IT IS COSTING DOWN TIME.

AN EXAMPLE IF A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS WE HAVE A REPAIR DONE ON SITE.

WE HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THAT DRIVER OF THE EQUIPMENT OPERATOR CALLS IN.

WE ARE ABLE TO SAY, HEY. I WILL GET OUR MOBILE PROVIDER THEY CAN BE OUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS RATHER THAN CART THAT ARE EQUIPMENT IN OR BRING THAT EQUIPMENT IN THE BARN.

AGAIN. IDEA IT WILL SPEED THIS PROCESS UP.

WHICH MAKES THE COUNTY MORE EFFECTIVE OF PROVIDING SERVICES. IT REDUCES COST AGAIN.

BECAUSE IF WE GOT A DRIVER WHO NEEDS A SIMPLE OIL CHANGE, AND THEY ARE -- AWAY FROM THE BARN 20 MINUTES AWAY. CHANCES ARE THERE IS A GREAT TEXAS OIL CHANGE OR QUICK LUB IF THEY CALL THE NUMBER AND SAY I NEED AN OIL CHANGE THE BARN IS BACKED UP THERE IS A VALVELINE.

SPEED THAT PRESS UP IS REDUCE THE COSTS. ONCE THE WE TRIAGED IT WE TELL THE DRIVER WHERE TO TAKE IT TEMPERATURE WITNESS IT IS THERE THEY TURN IT TO THE SHOP.

FLOW WORKS DIFFERENT IF INTERNAL VERSUS EXTERNAL. WE WILL TALK ABOUT EXTERNAL AT THE DEAL AREER SHIP IT IS MANAGED BY SEWELL ALL REQUESTS GO THROUGH THEM.

[00:10:02]

ON THE INTERNAL SIDE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COURTNEY SET UP THEY COME IN.

THEY WILL SEE COURTNEY. THEY HAVE A QR CODE. SOMETIMES SHE IS SICK THEY SCAN THAT AND THERE IS A FORM THEY FILL OUT. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. MY NAME AS THE DRIVER AND HOW I LIKE TO BE CONTACTED.

TEXT, E MAIL, PHONE. AND HERE IS HOW TO CONTACT ONCE IT WORKED THROUGH THE PRESS THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATED TO THE SHOP. GET THE APPROVALS ARE IF REPAIRSES AND CAN MOVE THROUGH.

AND EITHER CASE THAT SHOP WHETHER INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL WILL COMMUNICATE WITH THE CALL CENTER. AND GET APPROVAL FOR THAT. ANYTHING WE DO HAS TO HAVE AN APPROVAL. WE HAVE STANDARD PARAMETERS FOR MOST BASIC PM'S THAT WAY WE SPEED THAT UP. SO WE GOT A SET LIST AND PREAPPROVED P. O. SERVICE.

WE CAN APPROVE THAT. REDUCING THE TIME DRIVER IS DOWN.

ANYTHING ELSE, WILL TAKE THAT REQUEST FOR REPAIR. SENDS THAT OFF MIDLAND WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE. WE WILL SUBMIT THAT P. O. TO THE PROVIDER. THEY PROVIDE THE SERVICE. ONCE THAT IS DONE IF AN EXTERNAL SERVICE THAT SHOP WILL CALL THE 800 NUMBER. WE WILL DISPURSE THAT TO THE DRIVER TO THE FLEET OFFICE. SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNING COMMUNICATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS READY. IF INTERNAL, COURTNEY WILL KNOW. GOT THE CONTACT INFORMATION AND LET THEM KNOW IT IS READY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE FLEET TEAM THAT IS THEIR.

THE END OF THE DAY, FOR ANY UPDATE THAT A DRIVER OR DEPARTMENT HEAD MAY HAVE ABOUT THE VEHICLE, THEY CAN CALL THAT 800 NUMBER AND FET AN IMMEDIATE UPDATE FROM CALL CENTER.

AGAIN IDEA THROUGH THIS IS TO STREAM LINE THE ENTIRE PROCESS NOT JUST WHAT HE WOO ARE DOING AT THE BARN. ULTIMATELY IF WE GOT A LOT OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AT THE BARN THAT REDUCES MAJOR REPAIRS THEY ARE EFFECTIVE AT DOING, IE ROAD IS IS BRIDGE EQUIP.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT WORK FLOW OR HOW THAT PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO WORK AND WITH WE ARE WORKING TO MOVING THE MIDLAND COUNTY PROCESS TOWARD?

>> SO, ON THE EMPLOYEE'S CALLING THE NUMBER, WHAT IS THE CONSENSUS OF HOW THE EMPLOYEES LIKE THAT? HAVE THEY SAID ANYTHING? IS THIS WORKING FOR THEM?

NOT WORKING FOR THEM >> OVER ALL THE FEEDBACK WE ARE HEARING IS VERY POSITIVE.

SPEED OF SERVICE, TIME IT TAKES FROM I GOT AN ISSUE UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED; APPEARS TOW BE MUCH FASTER. SPECIFICALLY AROUND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WE SEND THEM TO A FACILITY THAT CAN DO IT LIKE THAT. WE GET THAT DONE QUICKLY UPON AS WE WILL SEE SEE THAT COST IN ENTIRETY. THERE IS TRANSPARENCY YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE INVOICES YOU SEE THE DISCOUNTS BEING PASSED ON TO YOU.

THE THING I HEARD ABOUT THE OIL CHANGES EVERYONE IS HAPPY. IT USEED TAKE FIVE TO SIX WEEKS TO GET WITHIN THEY GET IT IN AUTHORITY MINUTES. THAT PUTS THE PEOPLE BACK OUT ON

THE ROAD. >> GETS THEM TO GET THOSE PM'S DONE THAT USED TO BE THE

PROBLEM. >> AND YOU TOUCH ON A GREAT POINT, COMMISSIONER.

WE ALL KNOW THAT IF WE PROPER LOW MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP IS LOWER. WE WILL REDUCE THE MAJOR REPAIR PAS.

ONE THING WHEN WE GET TO THE FINANCIAL RESULTS, WE HAD MAJOR REPAIRS THAT HIT US IN THE FIRST QUARTER. THAT ARE A BIG IMPACT TO FINANCIAL RESULTS. WE ARE EXPECTING THAT HOPEFUL LYE WE ABSORBED THAT IN THE FIRST QUARTER WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.

THAT IS A KEY POINT IF WE GET THE PM'S WE MAKE IT EASY FOR DRIVERS TO TAKE CARE OF VEHICLES AND EQUIP. CHANCES OF THAT EQUIPMENT PROVIDING THE SERVICES IS HIGHER. ANYTHING OTHER QUESTIONS? SO, I WANT TO QUICKLY SHOW YOU AS WE GO THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER ANY PARTNERSHIP IS ALWAYS, HOW DOES WORK, HOW DO YOU DO THINGS WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE SEE AS BEST PRACTICE? HOW DO WE COMBINE THEM IN A WAY

[00:15:08]

GET THE FORM THAT POPS UP IS FILL THAT OUT. IT IS DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE AND EASY. ALL THE MATELY WE KNOW THAT COURTNEY WILL NOT ALWAYS BE AT THE DESK THEY WILL HAVE THIS AND IT WILL FLOW WHERE EVERYONE WILL SEE THIS.

AN EXAMPLE HOW WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE IT BETTER AND SIMPLER. THE PROGRAM EVOLVE AS WE CONTINUE THIS RELATIONSHIP OVER TIME. I SPOKE ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND BILLING. I WANT TO JUST DEMONSTRATE THAT. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A FEW INVOICES. THAT HAVE BEEN BILLED TO MIDLAND COUNTY.

ALL OF THESE INVOICES, ONCE WE RECEIVE THEM FROM THE VENDOR AREUP LOADED TO THE PORTAL FOR THE COUNTY THE AUDITOR AND ACCOUNTANT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS SEE ALL OF THESE INVOICES.

THE GREAT PART ABOUT THAT IS I'M NOT AN ACCOUNTANT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A NIGHTMARE TO ME.

THEY LOOK AT EVERY ONE OF THESE INVOICES AND COMPARE THEM WITH THE ACTUAL STATEMENT THAT COME FROM THE COUNTY. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU GUYS SEE WHAT IS BEING BILLED AND WHAT IS EXACTLY BEING BILLED OUT TO YOU. THAT INCLUDE, TAKING CARE OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY. REPAIR SHOPS. SEWELL.

ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AS WELL AS THE IN SHOP PROVIDER IN THIS CASE IS HANDLED BY JAZZ UPON YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THOSE REPAIRS. JAZZ PROVIDES OUR MOBILE SERVICE FOR HEAVY EQUIPMENT. AND THEN I GOT AN EXAMPLE OF KINDS OF A RANDOM THING THAT COME UP WHEN YOU DEAL WITH FLEETSES EMPLOYEES TOE BILLS THEY ADD UP QUICKLY.

WE MAKE SURE WE PROVIDE THOSE. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THIS. NOW THERE IS A BIT OF A LAG SOMETIMES THE VENDORS DON'T GET THOSE INVOICES SENT TO US AS FAST AS WE LIKE.

WE ONLY POST THE FINAL BILL WE RECEIVE FROM THEM. AND IF WE SEE A DISCREPANCY, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED SOME OF LOCAL SHOPS WERE CHARGING TAXES. OBVIOUSLY THE COUNTY IS TAX EXEMPT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THEIR BILLING TEAM. THEY ARE TAX EXEMPT HERE IS THAT PROCESS WE MOVE THOSE TAXES PROVIDE US WITH A CLEAN RECEIPT THOSE ARE ON GOING.

THOSE ARE THINGS THAT JUST HAPPEN IN THE BACKGROUND WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE BUT VITAL TO A PROGRAM LIKE THIS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE MEETING COMPLIANCE AND THING LIKE THAT.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BILLING AND TRANSPARENCY PROCESS WORKS OVER ALL? LET'S TALK ABOUT RESULTS. HOW DID WE DO IN THE FIRST QUARTER? THROUGH Q1 HAD HEAD WINDSES AS WE BEGAN. WE ENDED UP FINISHING Q1 WITH 212, 496 IN TOTAL FLEET EXPENSE. THAT INCLUDES ALL BILLED REPAIRS AND THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES WE CHARGE TO MANAGE THE PROGRAM. NOW, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WERE PROVIDED THE COST FROM FISCAL YEAR 25. THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. WHEN WE AVERAGED OUT THE QUARTERLY EXPENSE THAT WAS 316, 947. FOR Q1 EVEN WITH THE HEAD WIND WE WERE 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS GIVE OR TAKE, AHEAD OF OR BETTER THAN WHAT WE SPENT IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL QUARTERS. WE ARE EXCITED FOR THAT RESULT. NOW, WE TALK A BIT ABOUT HEAD WINDS, A COUPLE THINGS WE ADDRESSED, WE HAD SOME CARRY OVER REPAIRS THAT WERE LEFT FROM THE PREVIOUS VENDER. THAT ULTIMATELY WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. WE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. ALONG WITH THAT THE FLEET LIST THAT WAS TRANSMITTED TO US I BELIEVE WAS TRANSMITTED FROM THE PREVIOUS VENDER.

WE HAVE FOUND AS WE GET TO DIG IN THIS PROCESS AND REALLY LOOK AT EQUALIZATION WE WILL COVER THAT NEXT. WE WILL FIND A LOT OF VEHICLES THAT DON'T HAVE MILEAGE GOING ON THEM. AND SO WHEN WE WORKED WITH DENNIS TO AND FIGURED THAT OUT WE FINDS A LOT OF UNITS HAVE BEEN SOLD AND AUCTIONED OFF. THEY HAVE BEEN DISPOSED OF.

NOT PART OF THE WORK FLOW. TO THAT POINT, THE REASON I BRING THAT UP HERE ON OUR IS UP

[00:20:06]

THAT DID NOT EXIST IN YOUR FLEET. THAT IS A PROCESS.

YOU WILL SEE THAT NUMBER CHANGE A BIT FOR THE NEXT QUARTERLY REVIEW.

THAT IS WHERE WE STAND NOW. THIS IS INCLUSIVE OF LIGHT DUTY. HEAVY DUTY FLEET AND EQUIPMENT

ACROSS THE MIDLAND COUNTY. >> THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS 15 OR 30 DOLLARS AN AMONG PER UNIT

VEHICLE OR EQUIP. >> CORRECT. >> IF WE BUY THE EQUIPMENT TWO DAYS BEFORE MONTH ENDS YOU DON'T CHARGE THAT. ? IT IS PRORATED. SOMETIMES IN OUR BILLING YOU SEE THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS DIFFERENT IT PRORATED TO NOT CHARGE FOR THE MONTH BECAUSE WE DID NOT OWN IT.

>> ABSOLUTELY. IF WE DISPOSE OF A UNIT IN THE MIDDLE OF MONTH THE COST OF OWNERSHIP IS FLEET MANAGEMENT CYCLE, AGAIN, A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.

AS WE DO THAT WE PULL UNITS OUT IS ASK ADD THEM IN. WE ONLY CHARGE FOR THE DAY THEY ARE IN A DAILY FEE. YOU WILL SEE THAT. THAT IS WHY WHEN I DO THE REAL MATH, THERE IS SENSE INVOLVED ON THE BOTTOM OF SUBSCRIPTION FEE. I KEPT IT CLEAN FOR THAT

PURPOSE. >> HOW MUCH EQUIPMENT DID YOU INHERIT FROM VECTOR THAT YOU HAD TO FIX. I KNOW THERE WAS A SPREADER, WHICH IS -- THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF REPAIRS, COMMISSIONER. WE BELIEVE ABOUT 35-40 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TOTAL EXPENSE FROM CARRY OVER REPAIRS. AND I THINK DENNIS SPOKE EN TO THAT IN THE PAST.

AND THEN THOSE ARE AREAS AS WE LOOK AND BREAK IT OUT, WE WILL TALK ABOUT BENCH MARKS IN A SECOND. I THINK THAT DELTA SHOWS WHAT OUR DELTA IS ON OUR BENCH MARKS.

>> SO. OTHER QUESTIONS. THAT'S -- ALL RIGHT.

SO -- AS WE MOVE ONY WOO BREAK YOUR EXPENSES TO TWO COMPONENTS LIGHT DUTY FLEET, TRUCKS ISSUE CARS, VANS ANYTHING BELOW A CLASS SIX. IS HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT EXPENSES. SO IN THE FIRST QUARTER, WE SPENT 1 THEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN LIGHT DUTY MAINTENANCE. JUST THE REPAIR EXPENSE. WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THE AGE OF THE FLEET THE MILEAGE THE FLEET HAS AND TRAVELS IF WE WERE TO NORMALIZE THAT OVER A YEAR IT WOULD AVERAGE ABOUT 82 THOUSAND DOLLARS IF THAT FLEET WERE RUNNING WITH NORMAL REPAIR EXPENSE. GIVEN ITS AGE. AS YOU SEE WE ARE IF I HAVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AHEAD. PART IS THE CARRY OVER WORK, COMMISSIONER.

PART IS JUST GOES BACK TO A BIT WHAT COMMISSIONER ANDERSON SAID, MAINTENANCE WAS HARD.

TO GET DONE AND SO IT DID NOT ALWAYS GET DON THAT SNOW BALLED INTO LARGER REPAIR EXPENSES.

AS WE ARE GETTING INTO THESE VEHICLES THAT ARE AGING. SO, I EXPECT THAT OUR GOAL WILL BE TO GET TO THAT BENCH MARK AS WE MOVE THROUGH. WE WILL SEE THAT IN Q TWOE.

GOT THE OPTIMAL BENCH MARK ON THE NEXT LINE. THAT IS IF WE WERE TO TAKE YOUR FLEET AND SNAP OUR FINGERS AND SAY IF EVERYTHING WAS THE RIGHT AGE AND NOT DEALING WITH LOW, HIGH MILEAGE HERE IS WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT THE FLEET TO COST THAT IS IN A PERFECT WORLD.

I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD. LIKE ALL OF US AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS REAL WORLD CONSTRAINTS THAT KEEP US FROM THAT, THAT'S WHY IT IS OPTIMAL. THAT IS WHERE WE STAND ON THAT.

WE ARE ABOUT 55 THOUSAND DOLLARS AHEAD WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN EXPENSES.

ANTICIPATE WE WILL SEE US GET CLOSER TO BENCH MARK NOW THAT WE ARE OUT OF THE HEAD WINDS FROM THE BEGINNING. HEAVY DUTY IT IS 41 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM LAWN MOWER TO FORK LIFTS AND BATTERIES YOU NAME IT THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF THAT. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. WE ARE EXCITED PARTNER WITH YOU.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT WE SHOW YOU GUYS AT THE NEXT MEETING IN ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS FOR

QUARTER TWO I WILL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> I WILL SAY ONE THING, WE HAVE A MEETING YOU, ME, DENNIS AND PART OF YOUR OTHER TEAM. EVERY MONDAY.

AND SO WE TOUCH BASE EVERY MONDAY. I KNOW DENNIS WILL SAY, HEY, IS

[00:25:04]

AND FROM INVOICES I SEE, A LOT OF OUR PM'S ARE ALMOST A QUARTER AT LEAST THREE TIMES CHEAPER.

IS SO IT IS -- ITS -- WE ARE WORKING OUT THE KINKS BUT THE KINKS ARE WORKING OUT QUICKLY

AND FROM COUNTY STAFF THEY ENJOY Y'ALL'S SERVICES. >> WE APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK.

AS YOU BEGIN A PARTNERSHIP OR RELATIONSHIP THERE WILL BE KINKS.

I THINK THE BIGGEST PART IS COMMUNICATION. THAT WEEKLY CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE WITH YOURSELF AND DENNIS, I THINK REALLY HAS WE HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK.

WE DON'T LIKE THIS. WE LIKE THIS. LET'S KEEP WORKING ON THE THEMMINGS WE LIKE AND FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THE OTHERS. AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TIME LINE FOR THE IN SHOPE. I THINK GETTING OUR DRIVERS TO AN EFFECTIVELY CALL BEFORE THEY TAKE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS IS FASTEST WAYS FOR US TO REDUCE THAT CONGESTION IN SHOP AND SPEED IS THAT REPAIR TIME UP. OBVIOUSLY, PART OF THE REPAIR TIME.

I FAILED TO MENTION FOR LARGE REPAIRS TAKEN 14 DAYS FOR MAJOR REPAIRS NONPM WORK.

PART IS BECAUSE WE DO ENGINE REPLACE AMS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS LARGE ARE W TAKE MORE TIME. THE OTHER PART OF THAT WHEN WE GOT THAT WORK THAT IS TAKING THAT TIME ON THE FIX BAYS, THAT IS REDUCING ANYBODY WHO SHOWS UP FOR AN OIL CHANGE NOW THEY WAIT TO GET IN BIND THAT. OR IF WE GOT A HOST OF OIL CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE DONE THE MAJOR REPAIR IS TAKING LONGER. IF WE GET OUR DRIVERS TO CALL THAT NUMBER AND ALLOW THE TRIAGE TO WORK AND DIRECTOR THEM TO THE BEST PLACE THAT WILL MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE.

THANKS. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR DENNIS. THANK YOU.

HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING IT, FIRST AND FOREMOST. SECONDLY.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE CARRY OVER. AND SO IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.

THERE WERE EIGHT VEHICLES THAT WERE SITTING OUTSIDE WHEN I GOT THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE I GOT THERE. THEY HAD TO PICK UP PIECES AND PUT TOGETHER. A COUPLE FOR CEMETERY, ROAD IS BRIDGE.

THE FLOW IS NOT AS WELL AS AN I WOULD LIKE BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL IMPROVE.

WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING THAT BETWEEN BRIAN, MYSELF AND NOW COURTNEY, OF COURSE ALEX WERE ALL WORKING TOWARD OPEN COMMUNICATIONS. BUT FOLLOWING OUR SYSTEM.

SO THAT TAKE LONGER THAN I LIKE. BUT -- SOMETIMES WE CAN'T FIX COMMUNICATION WITH EVERYONE SOME

PEOPLE RESISTANT TO IT. >> ARE YOU SEEING RESISTANCE ON OUR SIDE OR BOTH.

>> A BIT EVERYTHING. SEWELL HAS NOT, THEY ARE OPEN IT WORKING WITH US BUT SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET ANSWERS BACK GIVE TO THEM WE HAVE TO WAIT FROM ANSWERS FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE.

>> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CARRY OVER, WAS IT SIMPLE FIXES OR WHAT REPAIRS WERE THAT CARRY

OVER MACHINERY AND -- >> RIDING LAWN MOWER, ENGINE REPLACED.

A DISTRIBUTOR FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE. SET THERE I THINK SINCE MAY.

AND THE HEATER THAT HEATS THE EMULSION WHATEVER PRODUCT THEY USE, THAT'S OUT.

WE HAD TO GET THAT IN. AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THAT. THAT WILL BE BIG MAY BE HAVE TO COME BACK HERE TO APPROVE PO PROSECUTE SEED WITH THE REPAIR. SOME OF THEM WERE TRANSMISSIONS, ENGINES AND THEY GOT BACKLOGGED. THERE WAS EVERYTHING. VARIOUS RANGE PRICE AND TIME

WISE. >> THANK YOU. NEXT WIDE THE PLACE WAS FULL OF

[00:30:06]

SHIFTED OUT THE DOOR. >> YES , SIR. WHAT JAZZ DID, THEY HAD BACKLOG THAT THEY AT THEIR MAIN SHOP OUT OFF 191 THEY PULLED THE TECHNICIAN FROM OUR SHOP.

MOVED HIM THERE THEY CAUGHT THAT UP NOW WE HAVE TWO AGAIN. IS COURTNEY.

OUR BACKLOG REDUCED TREMENDOUSLY. THERE IS I THINK FIVE VEHICLES OUT BACK. I THINK JAZZ IS WORKING ON THREE OF THEM NOW.

THAT PART HAS IMPROVED A LOT. >> OKAY. >> AGAIN THAT COMMUNICATION THING ONCE WE CLOSE THAT GAP WE HAVE THAT STREAM LINED. WHAT WOULD YOU LAKE TO SEE

IMPROVED? >> FLOW I KNOW THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IF WE CALL THEM FIRST. OKAY WE ARE NOT DOING THAT WELL WE HAVE TO GET THAT CORRECTED OUR SIDE. WE WILL IF WE FOLLOW THEIR SYSTEM I HOPE THEIR SYSTEM IMPROVED I'M NOT SAYING IT IS THEIR FALL WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THEIR SYSTEM IT MAKE IT WORK.

YOU CAN'T RIGHT YOUR OWN RULES AND EXPECT IT TO W WITH THEIR SYSTEM WE ARE GETTING THE

COMMUNICATION THROUGH THAT 800 NUMBER. >> OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU, DENNIS UPON >> APPRECIATE IT. >> ACTION ENEMY ITEM.

[6. Receive presentation from Curtis Martin on My Preparedness Initiative program.]

>> THANK YOU. >> ITEM 6 RECEIVE PRESENTATION FROM KURT I GUESS MARTIN

PREPAREDNESS INITIATIVE PROGRAM. >> OKAY. FIRST OFF THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ASK I'M CURTIS MARTIN I HAVE BEEN, WOING AS THE SDAFT ARE ASSESSMENT AND RECOVERY SPECIALIST FOR THE BASIN OR DISASTER DISTRICT 9 FOR ALMOST SIX YEARS NOW.

I WANTED TO COME UP AND INTRODUCE THE IMPLICATION OF A NEW PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM THE MY PI OR PREPAREDNESS INITIATIVE. WHICH IS A YOUTH BASED PROGRAM CENTERED GO ALONG SIDE ASK COMPLIMENT CERTAIN PROGRAMS IN TERMS OF CREATING AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. AND CREATING -- FURTHER EDUCATIONAL OUT REACH PROGRAM FOR YOUTH WITHIN THE BASIN IS EVERYTHING. REALLY MY PI PREPAREDNESS INITIATIVE IS A PROGRAM THAT IS DESIGNED TO TEACH CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS IN THREE PARTS IT DIFFERENT SKILL SET ASKS DIFFERENT AUDIENCE PRACTICE AGES 13-19.

AND IT COME IN THREE PARTS. WHAT THE BEGINNING PART IS TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT WHAT CERT IS WHAT IS COME WITH AND INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL ASPECTS HAND RADIO, NOA RADIO GRADUATION PART OF PREP PLUS SIX. WHICH MEANS WHEN THEY GET THROUGH PROGRAM, THEIR GRADUATION RESPONSE IS TO COMPLETE SIX ADDITIONAL HOUSEHOLDS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO GET THE PROGRAMUM AND PREPPED.

WE KNOW IN MIDLAND COUNTY IS BASIN AS A WHOLE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE SYSTEM A LARGE SCALE POPULATION GROUTH UPON DIFFERENT HAZARDS HAVE BEEN POPPING UP OIL ASK GAS COME WITH HAZARDS. RESPONSE TIMES THE POINTS MY PI IS TO TAKE THE BURDEN OFF OF A LOT OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE OFFICIALS. AND PRETTY MUCH PUT THE HANDS OF PREPAREDNESS BACK IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE ITSELF AND PEOPLE TRYING TO PREPARE THEIR HOMES FOR ANY DISASTER WHILE EMERGENCY RESPONSES OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES ARE TRIG TO GET THROUGH OR WAIT THROUGH A MAJOR SDAFT ARE IN THE EVENT ONE HAPPENS HERE.

[00:45:03]

BUT -- WHAT IT IS LIKE I SAID, IT IS ACREDITED PROGRAM THAT STARTED IN MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY AND NOW OFFERED THROUGH AGEXTENSION. AND LIKE I SAID, IT INSTITUTES 36 TO 40 HOURS OF CREDIT. HAND'S FIRE EXTINGUISHER, SMOKE DETECTORS AND INSPECTIONS.

AND GOING FORWARD I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE I'M NOT COMING THE COURTS FOR CREATE AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING OR AN ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT BUT IT BE AWARE OF A PILOT PROGRAM THAT I WOULD LOOIC TO START WORKING OUT HERE WITH THE HELP FELLOW SPECIALISTS HERE TO PRETTY MUCH PUSH FORWARD EDUCATION. I KNOW DEVELOPMENT AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS. IT DOES IN THE RIVAL BUT COMPLEMENTS CERT ACTIVITIES.

COMMUNITIES EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS. OR ESPECIALLY SOMETHING THAT TRAINS VOLUNTEERS TO HELP FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR SDAFT CERT MINE TRAINS THE HOUSE IS HOME FRONT AND GETS HOME PREPARED IF ARE DISASTER THE FIRST 72 HOURS OF ANY GIVEN DISASTER. AND OUR EXPERIENCE TAKEN THE LOAD OFF FIRST RESPOND AND 911 CENTER IN EVENT OF A DISASTER. AS WE HAVE SEEN IN DISASTERS WITH THE WEATHER IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS, A LOT OF 9 LEONDIS PATCH CENTERS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PERSONNELS CALLED OUT.

FOR ISSUES THIS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ISSUES IN THE BEGINNING. IT WAS NOT ANOTHER SNOW GETTON LIKE A FEW YEAR AGO. AND PUSHING FORWARD THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING I WANT TO TAKE AWAY TO IS TO JUST MAKE EVERYONE AWARE WE HAVE THE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITY.

GEARED TOWARD 4-HER. HOME SCHOOLCHILDREN AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THAT TIME RANGE AND WILL MAKE A GOOD SUMMER CAMP IT TEACHES DIFFERENT SKILLS.

NOT JUST IN THAT BUT I HAVE SOMETHING I PUSH, DISASTER NAVIGATION I WOULD IMPLEMENT IN THAT, TOO. WHICH IS MAP READING VIA THE STARS.

IF SOMEONE IS LEFT OR TECHNOLOGY GOES DOWN, HOW TO READ THE NIGHT SKY AND CONSTELLATIONS ASK USE THE STAR AS A MAP AND SUN AND MOON ROTATIONS TO TELL DIRECTION AND A WAY TO EVACUATE IF NEED BE. IS LIKE WITH ANY OTHER PRESENTATION IN OTHER PROGRAM LIKE THIS, WE TEACH EMERGENCY BAGS TO GO BAGS AND GOOD STUFF THAT IS THE ONE THING I WANT TO BRING TO THE TABLE TODAY WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM THAT TEACH HOMEGROWN PREPAREDNESS DESIGNED TO TAKE UNDUED AND UNNECESSARY RESTRAINTS OFF OF EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN MIDLAND AND

THROUGH THE THE BASIN. >> OKAY. THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION.

[35. Discuss and take action reinstating the deputy for Constable 4 including funds for salary and necessary equipment.]

BEFORE WE START WITH ANY OF IT. I LIKE TO PASS THIS OUT. SECOND PAGE.

YOU WILL SEE AN OFFICIAL MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS INCREASE FUNDING, EXPAND AUTHORITY FOR CLOSE MEMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT. SO I WILL ASK COMMISSIONER

PRECINCT ONE TO SIT THIS DISCUSSION. >> HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? I GOT A COPY FOR IT. I WILL ASK COMMISSIONER ONE TO SIT OUT DISCUSSION AND THE VOTE ON THIS ONE. I WILL SIT OUT THE VOTE BUT WON'T SIT OUT THE DISCUSSION.

IN THIS IT SAYS YOU CAN'T STUTZ OR VOTE YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT AND I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TEC YOU ARE GROWN MAN. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON THIS.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE ANSWER YOU GAVE ME? WE RESEARCHED IT.

I'M SORRY. WE RESEARCHED WHAT IN MY OFFICE FOUND THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DETERMINED THAT IS NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. SO, THIS RIGHT HERE SAYS I'M READING FOR THE FIRST TIME. CHAPTER 1-71 CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

2022-25 IN THE DISCUSSION AND TC ADVISORY OPINION 484, COURT HOLDING AND OFFICIAL MAY NOT INCREASE FUNDS OR EXPANDS AUTHORITY FOR A FAMILY MEMBER IF THE OFFICIAL IT IS NOT CONTROL HIRE. IF THE OFFICIAL DOES NOT KROL THE HIRE.

ASK TEC OPINION FOR 77 A PUBLIC OFFICER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF A VOTE WOULD FINANCIALLY BENEFIT FAMILY, GENTLEMAN POSITION IF THE FAMILY MEMBERS ELECTED OR EMPLOYED.

DOES THIS CONFLICT WITH THAT OR -- SO, WHICH PART OF THIS WERE YOU READING.

>> I WAS READING ON THE SECOND PAGE THERE IS ONE WITH THE BLUE MARK IT SAYS ISSUE OPINION 484 AND THEN OPINION NUMBER 473. I WOULD NEED TO READ THAT ADVISORY OPINION.

CAN'T REALLY GIVE AN OPINION ON BASED ON SEEING -- >> OKAY.

BUT FROM YOUR UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

>> YES. THAT WAS WHAT WE DETERMINED BECAUSE THE DEALS WITH AN

ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO IS ELECTED NOT BY COURT BUT THE PUBLIC. >> WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECT

APPOINTMENT AUTHORITY. >> CORRECT. >> OKAY.

>> WHAT DO I DO, RUSSELL? WELL IF Y'ALL WANT IT TABLE THIS.

I CAN READ OVER OPINIONS. AND GIVEN AN OPINION. >> I WILL GIVE THIS FOR THE NEXT ONE YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WE DON'T APPOINT WHO IS HIRED THIS SAYS WE DO.

WE HAVE TO APPROVE WHO IS GETTING HIRED. SO -- IT DOES FALL UNDER OUR PURVIEW. I HAVE RECUSED MYSELF FROM A NUMBER OF THINGS SEVEN YEARS I

[01:00:09]

GOOD TIME TO AIR ON CAUTION >> THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION I WAS NOT AWARE OF.

I WISH RUSSELL WOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE SO HE COULD HAVE BEGIN HIS LEGAL OPINION HE IS THE ATTORNEY IS NOT CHAT GPT THIS DOCUMENT UP HERE. ON R HE IS WELCOME TO SHOOT IT

DOWN. >> WELL, AT THE END IT IS A COURT DECISION HE ADVICES US AND WE CAN'T WHEN HE DOES NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION. THAT WAS WORD SALAD.

A COURT DECISION AS AN ATTORNEY. COURT DECIDE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT.

>> NOT IF IT IS ILLEGAL. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. THE COURT CAN STILL PROCEED.

I DON'T KNOW WE DID ILLEGAL STUFF. I HAVE NOT.

IN PROSECUTION. OKAY. SO -- HAVING SAID THAT DIANE IT IS YOUR ITEM CAN'T TABLE IT YOU CAN CONTINUE IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE I HAVE 1 PERSON THAT

WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. >> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE JUST TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT MAY BE LATER WE CAN DECIDE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING RUSSELL HAS A CHANCE BUT -- ON THIS THAT YOU HANDED OUT IT SAYS AN ELECT THE CONSTABLE WHO DESIRES TO APPOINT A DEPUTY APPLY IN WRITE TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT. SHE HAS APPLIED IS HER LETTER IS

ATTACHED TO OUR BACK UP. >> READ THAT DOES IT STATE WHO SHE IS PROPOSING TO HIRE.

>> IT DOESN'T I HAVE NOT ASKED HER IF SHE HAS SOMEBODY SHE IS HAS IN MIND.

I DON'T KNOW THAT, I DO KNOW THAT I WAS REALLY SAD WHEN SHE LOST HER DEPUTY BECAUSE SHE NEEDS THE HELP. SHE IS THE HARDEST WORKING CONSTABLE THAT WE HAVE.

AND THAT'S NO SLIGHT TO ANYBODY. SHE HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR IN HER SECOND TERM.

SECOND TERM? AND SO -- SHE -- KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING AND KNOWS HOW TO MOVE FORWARD GOT IN SITUATIONS LATELY THAT HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS FOR HER AND SHE NEEDS A DEPUTY.

WE HAD AGREED TO GIVE HER THAT DEPUTY BEFORE. TODAY'S AGENDA WE ARE DOING

SALARY AND EQUIP NOT HIRING THE DEPUTY. >> NO LIST OF SALARY AND EQUIPMENT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT. IN MY PACKET.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR POINT OF SHE NEEDS BACK UP. SHERIFF COULD I ASK WHAT YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE A CONSTABLE WHEN YOU NEEDED BACK UP BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN ASSISTANT CONSTABLE WITH YOU. WHILE HE IS COMING DO YOU WANT TO CALL THE ITEM SO WE CAN --

>> ITEM 35 YOU GO DISCUSS TAKE ACTION DEPUTY FOR FUNDS AND NECESSARY EQUIPMENT.

MOST OF MY HISTORY AS A CONSTABLE, IN SITUATION I THOUGHT I NEED BACK UP I CALL

PD. THE IN COUNTY DSO. >> MY QUESTION FOR YOU DOES IT HELP YOU BECAUSE I DON'T SEE WE GOT TWO OF THESE ON THE AGENDA TODAY I DON'T SEE EITHER ONE OF THE COMMISSIONER RECRUITING, RUNNING THROUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY AND BRINGING THEM OUT IS TRAINING THEM TO BE DEPUTIES I THINK THEY WILL PICK YOU AND TAKE PEOPLE FROM YOU.

THEY WILL RUN JOB POSTING AND WHO FROM YOU WANTS TO GO THERE WILL, AND NOW WE HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE THAT YOU ARE SHORTHANDED AND YOU CAN'T DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

IS WHAT I'M SAYING CORRECT IS THAT MORE THAT WHAT WILL HAPPEN. >> THAT'S A POSSIBILITY.

I DO KNOW THAT TIMES HAVE CHANGED SINCE I WAS'S CONSTABLE. EXCUSE MY MASSAGE PARLORS ARE ALL OVER AND [INAUDIBLE] INSTEAD OF ONE LEVEL. I KNOW THEY ARE BUSY.

HOW BUSY, I DON'T KNOW. NONE OF MY BUSINESS I STAY IN MY LANE.

[01:05:06]

I KNOW THAT I WILL READ THIS STATEMENT. FOR YEARS THE SHERIFF OFFICE STRUGGLING PROVIDE DATA ALONG WITH PROOF A POSITION IS NEEDED OR WAIT FOR BUDGET PLANNING OBTAIN STAFFINGOR EQUIP. HAD TO CONSOLIDATE POSITIONS TO CREATE OTHERS SHERIFF'S OFFICE COMPILED EVERY STEP, STUDY REQUIRED BY COURT IF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER RECEIVE POSITION OR EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE PLANNING. SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS THE PRIMARY COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR JOB, PATROL AND SPONSE, MAJOR CRIMES, COURT SECURITY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE. STAFFING SHORTAGES AFFECT RESPONSE TIME AND LIABILITY AND SAFETY ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTY. ANY POSITIONS ON COUNTY WIDE IMPACT THE COMMISSIONER NO COMMISSIONER EVER ADVOCATED THE SHERIFF OFFICE AND POSITIONS. REQUEST FROM THE SHERIFF OFFICE MET WITH HURDLES. REQUEST ARE FOR FURTHER JUSTIFICATION.

THIS RAISES CONCERN ABOUT COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. SHERIFF OFFICE PROVIDED DATA.

CALL VOLUME AND METRICS IF DATA IS REQUIRED IT SHOULD BE RIVERED FROM CONSTABLE'S OFFICE.

TRANSPARENCY REQUIRES ALL EVALUATED IN THE SAME CRITERIA. SHERIFF OFFICE DEMONSTRATED RESPONSIBILITY OPERATING UNDER STAFFED. ABSORBING WORK LOADS, MANAGING OVER TIME AND STAFFING SHORTAGES. SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS NOT OPPOSING LAW ENFORCEMENT STAFFING NEEDS OF CONSTABLE OFFICE. ONE TIME WE DID HAVE A DEPUTY CONSTABLE. IS MAY NOT KNOW I WILL REMIND YOU THAT PERSON THOUGHT MIGHT GO TO WARRANT SERVICES A POSITION CREATED HE HE CHOSE OUR AGENCY. IT WAS FILL THAT CAN BE BROUGHT BACK IN OR HAS BEEN TALKED BODY IN THE PAST. WE TALK ABOUT SALARIES KEEP IN MIND WE ARE COMPETITIVE. AND PART OF IT IS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE GRACIOUSNESS GET THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHERE WE NEED TO BE. FIVE PERCENT THIS YEAR COME FROM SENATE BILL 22. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU REMIND YOU ALL THAT WE SHOULD BE FIVE PERCENT INCREASE IN THE PAY ABOVE EVERYONE EVEREVERYBODIENTEL THAT'S WHAT THE SENATE BILL WAS CREATED FOR. WE HAVE RISEN OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN COUNTY TO EQUAL OUR SALARY IS AND CAN'T COMPETE THAT WAY. THAT IS WHY WE HAD THAT FIVE PERCENT GAP I HOPE YOU CONSIDER THAT BECAUSE WE ARE FIRST LINE RESPONDERS IN EVERY CASE. FIRE, TRAFFIC.

EVERYBODY, DON'T TAKE IT RESPONSIBLE ARE SECK RESPONDERS. THEIR JOB IS IMPORTANT WITH ARE FIRST ONES OUT THERE. WE SEE ALL NASTINESS OF FILTH DAILY.

ANDURE PEP DON'T SHY AWAY FROM THAT. THEY WORK 24/7, 365 NONSENSE IN THE JAIL. 24/7, 365. WE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE I'M NOT ASKING FOR MORE MONEY. BUT WHEN YOU RAISE THE SALARIES OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN COUNTY THAT I GET STAFF INCREASES WE DON'T. THEY WILL GO ABOVE US WITH THE

STAFF INCREASES. >> WE COVERED THIS THE STAFF INCREASES.

I'M MAKING OVER ALL CONVERSATION. SO -- THE QUESTION WE HAVE EQUAL CONSIDERATION IS TIMING IF THE COURT IS WILLING TO,A PROVE STAFFINGOR BUDGETING THE SHERIFF OFFICE ASK SAME IF REQUEST EQUAL CONSIDERATIONS IT NEEDS WE ADDRESS OUR.

I WANT IT MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE. IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR US.

WE ARE ABLE TO RECRUIT MAINTAIN WE CAN'T MAINTAIN AND COMPETE WITH A JOB 8-5.

WE HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THE PD'S AND SHERIFF OFFICES IN AREA AND WE ARE THERE NOW BUT HAVE TO BE ABOVE WHAT LOCAL DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTY ARE MAKING THAT'S WHAT SENATE BILL 22 WAS BEGIN TO

US THE 500 MILLION A YEAR TO INCREASE OUR SALARIES. >> SHERIFF WHO ASKED TO YOU

WRITE THAT. I DID. >> I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS TO THAT STATEMENT. YOU SAID UNIFORM IF WE ARE GIVING STAFFING NEXT OUTSIDE OF BUDGET? RIGHT? WHEN IS BUDGET?

[01:10:01]

IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. SO UNIFORMITY GOES TO THAT STATEMENT.

AND THEN YOU SAY WE ARE REPORTING I APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTS HONESTLY WITHOUT THEM IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. YOU GIVE US THE UPDATES AND PROVIDE TO THE PUBLIC FACEBOOK WHICH IS AMAZING. SO DOT CONSTABLES THEY GIVE US A MONTHLY REPORT WHEN THEY ARE WORKING ON. THAT IS THE UNIFORMITY I THINK WE SHOULD ASK FOR. WE CANNOT REALLY SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR NEEDS WITHOUT INFORMATION. ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN GRACIOUS IS PROVIDE ONE THAT IS IMPORTANT IF ARE ARE JUSTIFICATION WHEN WE ARE HAVING RAISE TAXES THIS IS WHY.

SHERIFF NEEDS TO PROTECT. >> RAISE TAXES OR LEVY. WE HAVE NOT RAISED TAXES SINCE

YOU HAVE BEEN HERE. >> NOT SINCE I HAVE BEEN WE LOWERED TAXES.

>> TAX RATE INCREASED SEVERAL TIMES >> NO

>> S WHY. >> WITH THAT SAID, AND WITH YOUR JUSTIFICATION, EVERY TIME

MAKES IT WORTH IT. SO I APPRECIATE. >> VERONICA HELP A BROTHER OUT.

>> AS YOU KNOW I FIGHT FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF MIDLAND SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

>> I FIGHT FOR MY EMPLOYEES THEY IMPORTANT. I FIGHT FOR EMPLOYEES FIGHT FOR THE CITIZENS THEY KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE TO PROTECT US. I'M SICK IS TIRED LOO BEING IN THE PAST THOSE WHO WILL WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT. THAT IS POPPING.

AND YES , I MENTIONED THE SHERIFF OFFICE IS FLUID WE HAVE OPERATIONS ALL THE TIME AND SAY, I NEED THIS BUT I WILL NOT SAY THAT I WILL ASK FOR SALARIES. HE WILL HAVE REQUESTS FOR MONEY THE RADIO SYSTEM. SUPPORT 81. SINCE 95.

WE GO BACK. SOMETIMES SHERIFF OFFICE IS FLUID.

I CAN'T HELP THE FLUIDNESS WHAT COME UP. SO -- KEEP THAT IN MIND.

MORE POWER, CONGRATULATIONS I'M NOT HINDERING YOU BUT I KNOW WHEN I PRESENT MY STUFF I SAY THIS IS WHAT I GOT AND IT IS NAIL BITING AND [INAUDIBLE] I'M WILLING TO FIGHT.

THROUGH HAVE IT. >> GET READY. >> AND SHERIFF, THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT WHEN YOU WERE CONSTABLE. WHEN WAS THAT YEAR?

13-20. >> SO THANKS HAVE CHANGE SINCE YOU WERE CONSTABLE TO WHAT IT IT IS THIS CONSTABLE FOUR IS FACING NOW. BECAUSE IT HAS INCREASED AND GOT WORSE IN THE LAST YEAR. IT GOTTEN TO WHERE SHE IS -- AGAIN IN DANGER.

I WANT -- CONSTABLE HALL TO SPEAK TO THAT. YOU WANT TO SAY.

THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU DO KNOW HOW MUCH CRIME HAS GOTTEN MORE VIOLENT AND THE LAST 5 YEARS YOU

HAVE BEEN SHERIFF. NOT AN EASY JOB. >> I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> BUT I SAY, YOU KNOW MULTIPLY HER WORK BY FOUR THAT IS US. WE HAVE ALL FOUR PRECINCTS.

THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE 900 SQUARE MILES IS WHAT YOU HAVE.

WE WERE 15.3 SINCE A HUNDRED AND WERE DOWN TO 12 POINTS WE HAVE NOT RAISED.

WE MAY HAVE LEVIED TAXES BUT DON'T RAISE. HAVE WE GOT MORE INCOME.

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TAX RATE. 1.6%.

THERE IS A LIST IN THE PROCEDURE UPON >> WE HAVE I SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT IS CHARGED WITH TRAFFIC CONTROL. WHAT I HEARD LAST TIME WAS -- SOME PEOPLE OUT IN PRECINCT WERE CALLING AND COMPLAINING THEY WERE HAVING SPEEDERS.

INSTEAD OF THE SHERIFF WHO IS SHORTHANDED TRY TO DEAL WITH IT WE ROB HIS PEOPLE AND GIVE TO A CONSTABLE TO RUN TRAFFIC STOPS WHAT HAVE WE ACCOMPLISH IN THE HELPING OUR MAJOR LAW

ENFORCEMENT. >> WE SPENT 40 MISSION FOR THE SHERIFF.

WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. JEOPARDY WE TALKING TAKE CARE OF

[01:15:03]

THE PUBLIC NOT GIVE MONEY TO THE SHERIFF. >> BAILIFF, JP AND SERVE WARRANTS YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN TRAFFIC. YOU DON'T HAVE THE DOG IN THIS

FIGHT. >> WHAT DO MEAN. >> YOU ELECTED OFFICIALS THEY DO ANYTHING A COP CAN DO. DOES NOT GIVE THEM OBLIGATION TO DO WHAT A COP DOES.

THE SHERIFF AN OBLIGATION. THAT'S WHAT WE CHARGED HIM TO DO AND EQUIPPED HIM TO DO AND MANNED HIM AND PAID HIM AND TRAINED HIM TO DO. AND NOW WE ARE BRINGING THE

OTHER POLICE FORCES TO DO IT. >> THIS IS NOTHING BUT AN DETECTION DEAL.

NEVER HAS BEEN. IT IS RIGHT NOW. AND HOW AM I GOING TO WIN ELECTIONS DOING THIS. YOU TELL ME. DEPUTY GLEN WAS WITH THE CONSTABLE HE WAS ASSISTS HER WHEN HE HAD EXTRA TIME HE WOULD HELP WITH TRAFFIC BUT IT WAS NOT FOR HIM JUST TO DO TRAFFIC. I ORIGINALLY CALLED THE SHERIFF AND HE TRIED TO BECAUSE I GOT A CALL FROM A CONSTITUENT 191. SO HE SAID I WILL TRY TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

AND -- SO, I THEN VISITED WITH CONSTABLE HALL AND -- SHE SAID, THAT I WILL SEE IF I CAN'T PUT HIM OUT. IT WAS NOT FOR HIM TO RUN TRAFFIC TO SUPPORT HER WHEN SHE WAS DOING THE RITZ AND HAVING TO DO HER DUTIES. WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND THEY DO STUFF FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT EVERY DAY ALL DAY.

IF SHE NEEDS BACK UP THEY CAN CALL FOR BACK UP. THE WE DON'T ASSIGN A BODY AND A

QUARTER MISSION. >> STRETCHED THEY ARE THE SHERIFF SAID HOW STRETCHED THEY.

STEAL TWO MORE PEOPLE FROM HIM AND STRESSIM MORE >> IF SHE CALLED IF PER BACK UP SHE MIGHT NOT GET IT. SHE CAN CALL POLICE DEPARTMENT THEY WILL COME.

IS THERE A REASON WE DON'T UTILIZE THE CITY. I WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.

>> I GET YOU I WANT IT MAKE POINT THAT THOSE OFFICERS CAN BE BETTER UTILIZED WITH THE

SHERIFFS FULL TIME DP GO FOR BACK UP WHEN NEEDED. >> CAN I GET YOUR WORD YOU WILL

NOT HIRE SOMEONE OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> I HAVE NO INTENTION.

I VOCALLY TOLD THAT TO SHERIFF MYSELF. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM.

I TOLD HIM I HAVE NO INTENTION OF PULLINGLY ANYONE. IF DEPUTY GLEN WANTS TO COME BACK I WILL WELCOME HIM. UNFORTUNATELY -- YOU HAVE MOVED HIM GAVE HIM A POSITION IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT AND HE DID NOT GO THERE. HE WENT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

ALL THAT FUNDING IS UTILIZED BIDE SOMEBODIEL. MAY I READ -- MAY I READ WHAT I

HAVE PREPARED FOR Y'ALL TODAY? >> PLEASE, DO. I DON'T WANT CONFLICT I WANT TO

READ WHAT I PREPARED AND MAKE DECISION. >> THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COURT I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME CONSIDERATION. I'M HERE TO REQUEST THE REENSTATEMENT OF DEPUTY CONSTABLE FOR PRECINCT FOUR IT IS BASED ON CLEAR OPERATIONAL NEEDS.

OFFICER SAFETY ASK CONTINUED ABILITY TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE AND TIMELY SERVICE TO RESIDENTS OF PRECINCT FOUR. NATURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN 4 CONTINUED IT EVOLVE.

CIVIL PROCESS EXECUTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLEX DANGEROUS THE SITUATIONS OFTEN INVOLVE NONCOMPLIANT OCCUPANTS, STRUCTURES AND FORCEDENT RAS UNKNOWN ENVIRONMENTS.

EXECUTING THE DUTIES A DOWN CREATE RISKS IN OFFICERS THE PLACES IN A POSITION NEITHER REASONABLE NOR PRUDENT FROM SAFETY STANDPOINT. OFFICERS ARE FREQUENTLY EXPOSED TO UNNO ONE SUBSTANCES IN RESIDENCES THE PRESENCE NARCS INCLUDING FENTANYL POSED A SERIES HEALINGRIC WITH NO OTHER OFFICER THERE IS NO MEDICAL NEEDS AVAILABLE UPON

>> TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IS ANOTHER GROWING CONCERN IN FOUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE REMAIN TASKS WITH CALL LIMITING ABLE TO CONDUCT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. A DEPUTY CONSTABLE WILL FILL

[01:20:04]

PRODUCE COVERAGE WHEN THE OFFICERS REQUIRE TRAINING SERVICES ARE LIMITED THE DEPUTY WOULD CONTINUE CONTINUITY OF SERVICE DURING THE PERIOD SAYS. COURT LEGALITIED RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE INCREASED. THE JUVENILE DIVERSION IS OPERATIONAL CREATING ADDITIONAL CASEWORK AND FOLLOW UP DUTIES. RECENTLY LEGISLATE YOU HAVE CHANGES TO EVICTION PROCEDURE SHORTENED TIME LINES INCREASING W LOAD AND TIME FOR CIVIL PRESSES.

REINSTATING CONSTABLE POSITION ENHANCE OFFICER SAFETY SIMPLE IMPROVE SERVICE AND IMPROVE LIABILITY RISKS FROM THE COUNTY. THIS POSITION PROVIDE CRITICAL SUPPORT DURING HIGH RISK OPERATIONS AND ALLOW THE PRECINCT IT MEET RESPONDENTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY.

SOME IS OF CHANGESES TO LAWS HOUSE BILL 33. CONSTABLES ARE REQUIRED TO PIO'S BY LAW. WE HAVE TO LEAVE FOR A WEEK AND TAKE A PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER COURSE AND RECEIVE CERTIFICATION IF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER OCCURS THERE IS A NEW SQUATTER LAW THEY DON'T GO TO COURT IF THERE IS A SQUATTER. I HAVE SQUATTER ONE HAD AN ACTIVE WARRANT. IT WAS ESCALATING, DEEFFECT LAYING UP DOWN THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THEIR PROPERTY. MINDS YOU THE INDIVIDUAL HAD A WARRANT, WENT IT JAIL.

I'M BY MYSELF HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS PERSON GOING, UP DOWN, UP, DOWN.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD POSITION THEY ARE CALLING FAMILY. FAMILY RACES ESCALATING THE SITUATION. I HAVE SAME TRAINING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS.

I GO THROUGH THE SAME POLICE ACADEMY THE SHERIFF GOES THROUGH THEIR DEPARTMENTS GO THROUGH I'M REQUIRED THE SAME TRAINING. ACCORDING TO CODE ASK CRIMINAL PROCEDURES I'M A PEACE OFFICER.

I AM A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER RECOGNIZED BY STATE OF TEXAS. I NEED HELP.

>> DID YOU CALL FOR HELP. IVE HAVE. >> DID YOU CALL FOR BACK UP.

>> YES, I HAVE. DID YOU WAIT FOR BACK UP. >> HOW WHEN I'M AT THE DOOR AND THEY KNOW I'M THERE I HAVE TO KNOCK AND ANNOUNCE BEFORE I ENTER A PROPERTY.

>> OKAY. >> SO -- I HAVE DONE THAT. YOU REQUESTED ME TO GO AFTER HOURS AND WORK. I DON'T WORK 8-5. THERE ARE TIMES I'M OUT UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT TO ASSIGN PAPERS THAT YOU ASKED NEIL. I LOVE MY JOB.

GOOD. I HOPE I CAN CONTINUE TO DO MY >> JOB.

I HOPE YOU WILL. I'M ASKING FOR HELP IT IS BEING ASKED BY ME AND CONSTITUENTS IN MY PRECINCT. TRAFFIC IS AN ISSUE. MASSIVE, ISSUE, THERE IS A FOUR WAY STOP SIGN AT 158 COUNTY ROAD 60 THAT IS A HIGH FATALITY AREA. I'M ASKING FOR HELP.

TRUST ME I DON'T LIKE ASKING FOR HELP ESPECIALLY CALLING ANOTHER CONSTABLE OR CALLING WARRANT SERVICES OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE THAT IS ALREADY STRETCH THIN ENOUGH.

PD IS JUST AS STRETCHED THIN AND TAIL DON'T DO CIVIL YOU KNOW WHEN THEY CALL, THEY SAY CALL CONSTABLES THEY WILL HELP YOU. THE PD DOES NOT EXPERIENCE CIVIL.

THEY DON'T KNOW CIVIL THEYEEN LOOKED AT IT. I BELIEVE THE SHERIFF TOLD US HE USED TO USE PD. I GUESS HE IS NOT CORRECT. AS BACK UP HERE IS THE NEXT THING. ALL OF THE PD OFFICERS ARE BRAND-NEW.

THEY DON'T KNOW US WE DON'T KNOW THEM. SO ARE WE GOING TO SAY WE NEED ASSISTANCE ASK WAIT FOR TWO HOURS. NOW HAVE TO BE EXECUTED WITHIN

FIVE DAYS OF FILING >> I THINK WE ARE JUST GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS

[01:25:01]

>> GOING BACK TO THE OPINION NUMBERS WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ON THOSE.

I HAVE A QUESTION WHAT CHANGED FROM THE 24 OR -- LAST YEAR'S BUDGET IT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

LAST YEAR YOU WERE AGAINST SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> NO , I WASN'T.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, JUDGE IF YOU ARE READY FOR A MOTION

>> WE GOT THE. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE BEEN. SIGNED UP SPEAK DID YOU WANT IT

SPEAK. >> SHERIFF. >> Y'ALL NEED TO TAKE A STAND TODAY AND STOP IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> MR. FRIDAY. HOW MUCH DID YOU CONTRIBUTE IT JUDGE JOHNSON'S CAMPAIGN?

THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS IT IS PUBLIC RECORD. >> YOU SHOULD KNOW.

>> GO AHEAD AND STATE IT, PLEAS. I WILL SAY IT 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

YOU WERE ASKED TO THE SUBJECT AND YOU WERE HE PAID ME TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT.

YOU KNOW WHAT, JUDGE I'M NOT GOING IT GET INTO IT. YOU ARE TURNING THIS POLITICAL

IT IS NOT POLITICAL. >> LANCE. I PRETTY SURE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOU HIT FINE POINTS THAT ROLL BACK TO WHEN HE TOOK THE CONSTABLE AWAY FROM THEM.

YOU AND I GOT A LONG HISTORY AS DO YOUR FAMILY AND DAUGHTER AND YOUR WIFE.

AND THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK YOU OR DIANE OR JAMIE. THIS IS A TUG-OF-WAR, A 3-2 FIGHT ALL THE TIME AND YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT WATCHED THE VIDEO YOU ARE LOOKING AT HIM.

I WATCHED THE VIDEO. LOTS OF THEM. AND I THINK THAT -- SOME MANNER OF OPERATION AND UNITY I THINK ALL FIVE Y'ALL SHOULD BE IN AGREEMENT WHEN HUARE LOOKING TO SPEND 2-3 THUNDERSHOWER00 THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE 800,000.

OUT OF CONTINGENCY FUNDS IN THE MIDDLE. CYCLE. WHY WOULD IT NOT WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER TO DO HIS STEP INCREASE. THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ANY OF YOU I THINK IT IS DIVISIVE BEHAVIOR.

[01:30:09]

>> MR. FRIDAY YOU ADDRESSED ME. WOULD YOU LIKE MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN YOUR PRECINCT?

>> YOU KNOW -- I THINK FROM WHAT I KNOW I FEEL REALLY SAFE IN MY COMMUNITY.

I DO, TOO. AND YOUR QUESTION IS A LOADED QUESTION DO YOU WANT MORE LAW

ENFORCEMENT. DID WE NEED MORE. >> THAT WAS NOT MY REQUEST. DO YOU THINK WE NEED MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT? I DON'T LIVE IN YOUR PRECINCT I KNOW WHEN I NEED MY PRECINCT WANTS MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE. SINCE YOU ARE.

YOU TALKING ABOUT IN THE COUNTY? ACTUALLY I DO GET A LOT OF CALLS FROM THE COUNTY EVEN THE CITY

ASKED. >> I LIVE IN THE COUNTY I LIVE IN THE STA.

DO YOU WANT MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IN YOUR PRECINCT? I THINK THE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THIS TOWN IS ADEQUATE AND IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT THIS WOULD BE A DECISION THAT IS IN THE IN MY PURVIEW. YOU ARE SAYING THE CURRENT LEVEL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IS ADEQUATE. IN MY OPINION, IN YOUR PRECINCT.

IT IS. YES. >> PERFECT.

>> THANK YOU. >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE MY MOTION, PLEASE.

HOLD ON A SECOND WHERE ARE WERESS YOU WILL. CAN I VOTE OR NOT.

>> AS I STATED I GIVEN THE OPINION IN THE PAST BASED ON RESEARCH YOU ARE NOT PROHIBITED FROM DOING SO. I LOOKED AT THESE ETHIC'S ADVISE WE COMMISSIONS ASK DON'T FIND ANYTHING STATING WHAT IS IN STATING WHAT IS INDICATED THIS DOCUMENT.

SO, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT PROHIBITS YOU. IF I FIND SOMETHING I WILL LET YOU KNOW. I THINK WE TALKED AND I LOOKED AT THIS A LONG TIME AGO.

>> THANK YOU. >> I MEAN -- YOU CAN,A POINT SAM OUR P. O. AS YOUR YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET ALL THAT. I'M MAKING A STATEMENT NOT ASKING A QUESTION AND ALSO REASON I WANTED SEE IT YOU MADE A STATEMENT THAT CAUSED ME TO CHANGE MY MIND.

YOU WANTED HER TO HAVE AN ASSISTANT SHE IS A FEMALE. THAT IS SEXISM IN REVERSE.

I WISH SHERIFF WAS HERE I WOULD ASK HIM DO YOU FEMALES THE STREET IF WE DO WE NEED A MALE OFFICER WITH THEM TLA ARE NOT ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY DO WITHOUT SOMEBODY AROUND.

THAT'S SO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHEN I WENT THAT WAS NOT A GOOD REASON TO DO THAT.

WAS NOT A GOOD REASON TO GIVE HER A DEPUTY AND WE DID. >> WE HAD BUT LATER YOU SAID BECAUSE OF THAT. AND I'M LIKE OKAY. I'M HAVING A CHANGE HEART IN

THIS DECISION. OKAY. >> NOW ALSO IN YOUR DEAL, YOU ARE JUST ELUDING TO EQUIPMENT AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFICS.

I CALLED FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO ASSIST THAT WAS 45 MINUTES.

SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT CALLING FOR PEOPLE I HAVE CALLED FOR PEOPLE IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO GO TO ANOTHER CONSTABLE OR J P WARRANTS TO GET HELP THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE COUNTY.

I'M ASKING YOU CONSIDER THIS BECAUSE IT IS A NECESSARY MEANS. IT IS A NECESSARY THING BECAUSE THIS COUNTY HAS GROWN. YES. WE HAVE HAD DIFFERENT CONSTABLES THROUGH COUNTY THAT DID IT ON THEIR OWN. THEY ARE NOT SERVING WITHY WOO ARE SERVING NOW. YOU CAN GO TO THE RECORDS OF WHAT WE ARE SERVING IT HAS GONE UP IN NUMBERS SINCE COMMISSIONER HALL WAS A CONSTABLE. I KNOW COMMISSIONERS BEFORE HIM THAT THEY WERE LIKE MAN YOU SERVED THAT MUCH. IT IS GOING UP.

NOW WE ARE SERVING THE JUVENILES TOP OF THAT. THE JUVENILES EVERY TIME I GET A

SET IT IS 20-30 TO 40 PAPERS. >> I THINK THIS IS MORE IN THE WITH THE ITEM WHEN WE GET TO HIS

SHE WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE FEMALE COMMENT. >> IT ADDS UP THAT'S WHAT WE

ARE GETTING AT. >> ONE QUESTION. >> YES , SIR.

A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU CALL FOR BACK UP IT IS LIKE ON TVR.

THEY ARE RIGHT THERE. IS THAT THE CASE? >> WHENY CALLED FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IT TOOK 45 MINUTES. WHEN I CALLED PER PD IT HAS TAKEN 10 TO 20 MINUTES. THEY ARE ALL SHORTHANDED AND ALL NEED PEOPLE.

IT IS -- NOT THE IDEAL SITUATION. IF EVERYBODY WAS FULLY STAFF, MAY BE NOT. IT IS NOT THAT WAY AND HAS NOT BEEN THAT WAY IN A LONG TIME EVEN BACK WHEN I WAS AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IT WAS NOT THAT WAY.

20 YEAR. SO -- ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY.

AND SO -- ON VEHICLE AND THE REASON THAT -- I FOUND IT APPROPRIATE TO DO THIS OUT BUDGET IS BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT ASKING FOR A VEHICLE. YOU WANT IT EXPLAIN ABOUT THE

VEHICLE ALSO? >> SO NOT ASKING FOR A VEHICLE. THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE IS OUT AT FLEET. AND IT IS A STAND BY. EVERYTHING IS IN IT.

THE RADAR I PUT IN ARE THERE. THE LIGHTS ARE THERE EVERYTHING IS THERE.

IT IS JUST SITTING THERE. >> AND THE POSITION THAT WAS HEAR DEPUTY WAS MOVED OVER TO WARRANT SERVICES THE SALARY FOR THAT POSITION CAN BE MOVED TO WARRANT SERVICES NOW.

JORGE MAY NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. BUT HE WAS NOT ASKING FOR AN EXTRA PERSON AND GAVE HIM ONE BECAUSE THE DEPUTY WE TOOK AWAY FROM HER WE WANTED TO ENSURE HE HAD A SALARY A POSITION GO TO. AND SO WE MOVED IT TO SERVICES. SO -- ANYWAY.

THE SALARY WAS THERE THE TRUCK IS THERE AND SHE JUST NEEDS 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REFIT A DEPUTY CONSTABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REINSTATE THE DEPUTY FOR CONSTABLE PRECINCT FOUR. AND TO INCLUDE THAT WITH 6, 060 DOLLARS FOR THE EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED FOR ME TO STATE THE EQUIPMENT IS? CAN SAY AS PRESENTED

>> AS PRESENTED BY CONSTABLE HALL. >> NEED TO STATE WHERE IT IS

COMING FROM? >> YES. >> FROM CONTINGENCY.

>> WHAT? YOU ARE MOVING THE POSITION FROM WARRANT SERVICES.

NO , I DID NOT SAY THAT I'M JUST. WHERE IS THE SALARY COMING FROM.

>> WELL, THAT IS FURTHER DISCUSSION. BUT IT WAS NOT RAISED SO -- UM -- SO -- YOU KNOW WHAT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO MAKE IT MOVE FORWARD WE WILL DO SALARY

[01:45:10]

>> COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. I HAVE NOT SAID MUCH IN ARGUMENT I DON'T NEED TO.

BUT I KNOW I HEAR IT A LOT IN THE COURT THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE USUALLY DO AROUND BUDGET TIME. MY ASK WOULD BE YOU WAIT UNTIL BUDGET TIME TOP DO THIS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND, I KNOW SHE NEEDS THE HELP. I WANT GIVE HER HELP I THINK I SUPPORTED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THIS COUNTY FROM DAY ONE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

I WANT TO DO THAT. BUT I DO THINK THIS IS A BUDGET PROCESS ITEM THAT NEED SAYS TO, ASK WE TRY TO STAY ON TRACK WITH THAT INSTEAD OF PULLING EVERYTHING OUT OF CONTINGENCY NOTHING SOMETHING THAT POPS UP OUT OF ORDINARYNARY. I LOVE FOR EVERY DEPUTY CONSTABLE, ALSO.
