[00:00:03]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

IT IS 9:00 AM ON FEBRUARY 24TH.

I'M GONNA CALL THE REGULAR COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING TO ORDER.

[A) INVOCATION; Judge New]

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME TO YOU TODAY.

SINNERS NOT WORTHY OF YOUR GRACE, NOT WORTHY OF SALVATION.

WE HAVE DISOBEYED.

WE DO NOT HELP THE WIDOWS AND THE ORPHANS.

WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.

LORD, WE DESERVE YOUR WRATH, BUT INSTEAD, YOU GIVE US LOVE AND PATIENCE, AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR IT.

PLEASE GUIDE US, HELP US SEEK YOUR WISDOM.

HELP US TO KNOW YOU WHEN WE FOUND YOU, AND GIVE US THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE UNTIL WE HAVE FOUND YOUR WILL.

IT'S IN YOUR NAME, WE PRAY.

AMEN.

LET'S PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

NOW, THE TEXAS FLAG, HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE TEXAS ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

UH, I DO WANT

[a. Proclamation - Recognizing February 2026 as Black History Month in Rockwall County, Texas]

AND WE ARE THANKFUL TO DO SO.

UM, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE, PUBLIC FORUM.

IT'S PUBLIC'S OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COURT ABOUT ANY COUNTY MATTERS.

NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP, BUT THAT WILL NOT PREVENT YOU FROM SPEAKING.

SO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK COME FORWARD NOW SEEING NO ON, WE'LL MOVE INTO AGENDA ITEM TWO, DISCUSS

[2. Discuss/ Act on updates of the Strategic Plan 2050 Implementation Management Plan, and all related issues; (Commissioner Macalik)]

COMMISSIONER M**K, THANK YOU, JUDGE.

AND COMMISSIONERS, UM, CAMMIE'S GOING TO COME UP BECAUSE, UM, SHE AND JIM BARTO AND I, WE ARE, WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND USING, UM, ANALYTICS SO THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO BE PREPARED TO SHARE OUR, OUR PROGRESS WITH THE COUNTY.

SO, CAMMY, I'M TURNING IT OVER TO YOU.

YES.

SO, UM, ON FEBRUARY 11TH, AS YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE YOU ARE THE GOAL OWNERS, WE HELD OUR FIRST QUARTERLY MEETING, UM, WITH THE GOAL OWNERS AND A FEW MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAMS. AND WE REVIEWED OUR TEAM MEMBERS AND OUR PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS.

UM, THEN ON FEBRUARY 18TH, THE PIO, JIM BARTOW AND I HAD A, UH, WE PARTICIPATED IN A SESSION WITH 15 OTHER COUNTIES ACROSS THE NATION, UM, WHERE WE DISCUSSED COMMON CHALLENGES AND PUTTING STRATEGY INTO ACTION.

AND SO THAT WAS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO TALK TO OTHER COUNTIES TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE FACED AND, UM, HOW THEY'VE MADE THEIR PLANS SUCCEED.

SO, UM, THAT WAS A GREAT MEETING WITH THEM.

AND WE HAVE FUTURE MEETINGS, UM, I BELIEVE EACH QUARTER WITH THESE COUNTIES, BUT WE'VE ALL EXCHANGED EMAIL ADDRESSES AND, UM, WE'LL CONTINUE TO STAY IN CONTACT.

AND AS COMMISSIONER M**K MENTIONED, UH, AFTER THAT PARTICULAR MEETING, UH, JIM BARTOW, COMMISSIONER M**K AND I, UH, WE HAD, UH, A CONVERSATION WITH OUR INVISIO REP TO DISCUSS THE FINAL LEG OF TRAINING TO LEARN HOW TO ENTER THOSE ANALYTICS INTO THE INVISIO SOFTWARE SYSTEM.

SO WE HAVE THREE SESSIONS SCHEDULED WITH INVISIO, AND THEN WE WILL SHARE A RECORDING OF THAT TRAINING WITH OUR, UM, OTHER TEAM MEMBERS ACROSS THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO, UM, AND AS THE COMMISSIONER MENTIONED, OUR GOAL IS TO GO LIVE IN APRIL, SO A LITTLE BIT MORE TRAINING SO WE CAN LEARN HOW TO ENTER THOSE RESULTS INTO INVISIO.

BUT APRIL, WE'RE, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR CAMMI? NOPE.

ANYTHING ELSE, COMMISSIONER? NO, THANK, NO, SIR.

COMMISSIONER STACEY.

ALRIGHT, GUYS, WE ARE HERE.

IS THIS THE DAY THE ANNEX IS GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA? UM, YES.

THIS IS, THIS IS AN AMAZING THING.

SO WE ARE, I'M, I'M, I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A, A FEW MINUTES.

UM, WE, WE HAVE THREE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

ITEM FIVE, SIX, AND 15 J 15 J IS THE ACCEPTING OF THE AUDIT REPORT.

AS YOU WILL SEE, THE AUDITOR SAVED US MORE MONEY THAN IT COST, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD AUDIT.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE REST OF THE MONEY TO, UH, TO CLOSE OUT AND MOVE OVER TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LINING UP DOING.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT WORKED ON THIS.

THIS WAS A LONG PROCESS.

UH, I WANT TO THANK THE COURT THAT IS HERE.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER BAILEY AND COMMISSIONER SEVER, UM, THE TREASURER WHO WAS ABLE TO KEEP THIS MONEY AND THIS INTEREST TOGETHER, THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, UM, AND ALL THE SUPPORT THERE.

HILL AND WILKINSON BROUGHT US, I MEAN, THIS WAS A CRAZY PARK HILL, UM, AND ALSO, UH, BARRY WHO HAD TO SUFFER THROUGH ALL THESE MEETINGS AND ALL THESE CHANGES AND ALL THESE SPECIF, ALL THESE SPECIFIED THINGS.

SO JUST WANNA SAY IT'S A GREAT DAY.

[5. Discuss/Act on approving Official Change Order No. 08, for the Proposed Change Order No. 71 previously approved by Commissioners Court, to the agreement with Hill & Wilkinson Construction Group for the Rockwall County Annex project, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy)]

WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM FIVE, DISCUSS AND ACT ON APPROVING OFFICIAL CHANGE ORDER NUMBER EIGHT FOR PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 71, PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH HILL AND WILKINSON CONSTRUCTION GROUP FOR THE ROCKWALL COUNTY ANNEX PROJECT AND ALL RELATED ISSUES.

COMMISSIONER STACY.

SO I'M JUST GONNA SAY A COUPLE THINGS INTO THE RECORD, JUDGE.

UM, THIS CHANGE IS FOR $45,926 AND 22 CENTS.

THAT'S THE FINAL, UM, AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE SAVED IN THE ANNEX.

THE ORIGINAL GMP WAS 17.2 MILLION.

THE FINAL GMP WAS 13.5.

SO THIS PROJECT CAME IN JUST AT ABOUT 3.8 MILLION.

UNDER BUDGET.

UNDER BUDGET.

AND AHEAD OF SCHEDULE IS GOOD, YES.

FOR ANYBODY FOLLOWING ALONG .

ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ZERO EIGHT FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER.

NUMBER 71 PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LICHTY.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER M**K, ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IF YOU'LL REGISTER YOUR VOTES? NOW THAT PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.

THANK YOU.

EVERYONE INVOLVED.

THIS TAKES THOSE TO AGENDA ITEM

[6. Discuss/Act to approve Addendum No. 4 to the Memorandum of Understanding between Rockwall County and the Rockwall County Sheriff's Office, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy)]

COMMISSIONER STACY? YEAH, AND JUST, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME COURT HAS DONE THIS, BUT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC THAT MAY BE LISTENING, UM, WE HAVE TO KEEP ALL OF OUR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN MONEY, OUR ARPA MONEY OBLIGATED.

SO THIS TAKES THE REMAINING $45,926 AND 22 CENTS AND OBLIGATES IT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UH, REMODEL SO THAT WE STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT GRANT.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ADDENDUM FOR TO THE MOU BETWEEN ROCKWALL COUNTY AND THE ROCKWALL COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GOANA.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER M**K.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IF YOU'LL REGISTER YOUR VOTES NOW, PLEASE.

THAT PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.

THAT TAKES US TO AGENDA

[7. Discuss/Act on the Sheriff's remodel project, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy)]

COMMISSIONER STACY? YEAH, WITH THIS, WE'RE GONNA BRING NICO UP TO GIVE US AN UPDATE.

GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE NEW AND THANK YOU NICO FOR MAKING SURE WE GET THIS EMAILED

[00:10:01]

SO, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

HE'S BEEN KEEPING A GOOD METER ON THAT, SO THANK YOU.

VERY HELPFUL.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

UH, SO THE ROCKWELL SHERIFF OFFICE IS, IS PROGRESSING, UH, VERY WELL.

UM, THE GOOD NEWS IS WE'RE UNDER BUDGET.

UM, NO MAJOR BUDGET UPDATES THIS TIME AROUND, OTHER THAN WE WILL, WE WILL BE DISCUSSING, UH, THREE DIFFERENT PCOS, UH, A LITTLE LATER ON.

UH, WE ARE CURRENTLY, UH, WORKING ON AN UPDATED SCHEDULE INFORMED BY OUR FURNITURE, UH, DATES.

UH, WE HAVE NOT PLACED THE FURNITURE ORDER YET.

UH, SO AS SOON AS I KNOW THOSE DATES FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND ORDER, I'LL REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE TO YOU GUYS.

AND, AND JUST IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS ORDER ENOUGH FURNITURE TO MOVE THE PEOPLE INTO THE LOCATIONS OF PHASE ONE SO THAT WE KNOW HOW TO START PHASE TWO.

AND SO IT'S HARD FOR US TO MAKE THAT TIMING WHEN WE AS BOBBY, AS, AS COMMISSIONER GUANA HAS SEEN, FURNITURE IS UNPREDICTABLE.

SO UNTIL WE KNOW THAT THE ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED AND WE HAVE THE LEAD TIMES AND WE KNOW WHEN IT IS, IT'S GONNA BE HARD FOR US TO SAY, THIS IS WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T MOVE PEOPLE IN TO THOSE OFFICES, WE CANNOT START PHASE TWO.

'CAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP THE OFFICE OPERATIONAL.

SO.

YEP, EXACTLY.

AND, UM, AS FAR AS PROCUREMENT UPDATES, UH, I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THE FURNITURE HASN'T BEEN ORDERED YET.

WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THAT ORDERED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

DEFINITELY.

UM, ELECTRICAL GEARS HAVE BEEN ORDERED, LIGHTING FIXTURES, ORDERED, STOREFRONTS ORDERED AND PASSED THROUGH WINDOWS ORDERED.

I'VE CONFIRMED ALL OF THOSE, UH, WHICH ARE LONG LEAD ITEMS. UM, AND THEY ALL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE LATE, THE LATEST, UM, ARRIVAL DATE IS MARCH, EARLY APRIL.

SO ALL THAT'S TRACKING WITH THE SCHEDULE.

UM, SO LONG AS WE CAN, YOU KNOW, GET THE FURNITURE ORDER PLACED, UH, QUALITY CONTROL, REALLY NO UPDATE THERE.

WE'RE JUST CONTINUING TO TO TRACK ANY ISSUES WITH, UH, THE PRODUCTS ON SITE, UM, WITH THE COMMISSIONER AND, AND BARRY AND, AND THE WHOLE PROJECTS TEAM.

UM, CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES, THE LAST FEW WEEKS THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON TAPE, TAPE, BED AND PAINT, UH, WHICH IS JUST DRYWALL, FINISH AND, AND PAINTING, UH, FINAL COATS OF PAINTING.

THEY'VE DONE FRP, UH, WHICH IS THE, UH, RESILIENT SURFACE THAT IS INSTALLED IN ANY, YOU KNOW, WATER, UH, WATER PRONE AREAS LIKE, UH, MOP SINKS AND, AND BATHROOMS. YOU SEE IT A LOT.

IT'S JUST A PLASTIC WALL COVERING.

UM, THEY DID A SIDEWALK POUR.

UM, THEY'VE STARTED DOING THE WALL AND FLOOR TILES IN THE RESTROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS. SO THAT'S KIND OF EXCITING TO SEE.

UH, SOME OF THOSE COME ALONG, UH, AS WELL AS THE ACOUSTICAL CEILINGS.

THEY CONTINUE TO WORK ON, UH, THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WE'LL BE CON UH, CONTINUING WALL FINISHES.

UH, A LOT OF THE DOORS ARE HUNG, SO THEY'LL START STAINING THE DOORS, UH, FINISHING THE WALL AND FLOOR, UH, TILING WITH GROUT AND SETTING PLUMBING FIXTURES.

UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR MY UPDATE.

ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FOR NICO? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, NICO.

UM, I'M GONNA GO A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER 'CAUSE I GOT OUT OF THE GATE SO FAST.

I FORGOT THAT I PROMISED JUDGE NORTON THAT I WOULD MOVE AGENDA ITEM NINE UP.

SO I'M AT LEAST GONNA BE ABLE TO MOVE IT UP.

1 1 1 AGENDA ITEM.

UM, SO

[9. Discuss/ Act on approving a five-year copier lease with CPI for the Justice of the Peace, Pct 1 @ an annual cost of $1,764.00, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy)]

ONE AT AN ANNUAL COST OF $1,764 IN ALL RELATED ISSUES.

COMMISSIONER STACEY? YEAH, SO THIS ONE, UM, EXCUSE ME, UH, COMING OUT OF THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE TECH FUND, SO IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF GENERAL REVENUES.

HE'S REPLACING THREE PRINTERS FOR ONE PRINTER, BEING A GOOD STEWARD OF THAT FUND, UM, AND GETTING, UH, A MORE COMMERCIAL USE OUT OF IT, WHICH IS GONNA SAVE THE TAXPAYERS, THE COUNTY, AND EVERYTHING, MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.

SO I APPRECIATE JUDGE NORTON, UM, AND HIS FORESIGHT START LOOKING INTO DOING THIS.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ON THE, ON THE LEASE.

ANY QUESTIONS? AND, AND THIS WAS ALREADY BUDGETED IN THE TECH FUND IS WHAT YOU SAID? CORRECT? THEY HAVE FULL DISCRETION INTO THE TECH FUND.

SO THERE IS MONEY IN THE TECH FUND TO OKAY.

TO PAY FOR THIS.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL THEN I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE A FIVE YEAR COPIER LEASE FOR CPI FOR JUST OF THE PEACE PRECINCT ONE.

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER STACEY, SECOND.

SECOND COMMISSIONER, ALANA, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IF YOU'LL REGISTER YOUR VOTES NOW, PLEASE.

THAT PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.

THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME, JUDGE NORTON.

[00:15:01]

[8. Discuss/Act on approving Prime Contract Change Order No. 012, 014, and 015 to the agreement with SCI Construction for the Rockwall County Sheriff Office Renovation project, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy)]

COMMISSIONER STACY.

SO I'M GONNA HAVE NICO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS.

I'M GONNA GIVE Y'ALL A BRIEF EDITORIAL OF WHAT THESE THREE CHANGES ARE.

PCO 12 IS $53,895.

THAT IS COMING OUT OF CONTINGENCY FOR THE 9 1 1 DISPATCH.

UM, WE HAVE AN ALLOWANCE SET ASIDE FOR THIS, BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK IT OUTTA CONTINGENCY SO WE CAN HOLD THE OWNER'S ALLOWANCE.

UM, SO WE KNEW THE WORK WAS COMING, BUT WE JUST, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA ACCOUNT FOR.

IT IS IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY.

PCO 14, UM, IS A FIRE ALARM.

WE, UM, HAD TO CHANGE A LOT, SO WE CAN GET INTO THE SPECIFICS IN THAT.

BUT WE'RE TAKING THAT MONEY OUT OF HARDWARE ALLOWANCES AND PERMITTING, SO IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF CONTINGENCIES.

AND THEN PCO 15 IS SOME DOOR STUFF.

, LIKE I SAID, NICO ANSWERS ALL THE HARD QUESTIONS AND IT'S GONNA BE $20,000 OUT OF HARDWARE.

SO WE, SO OF THESE THREE, THERE'S ABOUT 54,000 COMING OUT OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS MOVING ALLOWANCES AROUND.

AND WE HAD MONEY SET ASIDE FOR THE 9 1 1 WORK, BUT WE JUST, SINCE IT FEELS LIKE EVERY TIME WE GET INTO SOMETHING WE'RE FINDING SOMETHING, WE DECIDED LET'S JUST TAKE THAT OUTTA CONTINGENCY AND THEN WE WOULD JUST KEEP OUR OWNER'S ALLOWANCE HOW IT IS.

IT WAS JUST IT, AND IN THE END, WE CAN MOVE THE OWNER'S ALLOWANCE OVER INTO THE CONTINGENCY.

SO THIS WAS JUST THE EASIEST WAY TO JUST WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SO THAT'S ALL THE DECISIONS WERE MADE AND, AND HOW WE LINE THIS UP.

AND THEN Y'ALL CAN ASK NICO ANY QUESTION YOU NEED.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S DEFINED AS AN EASY QUESTION.

UM, BUT THAT WAS THE QUESTION I HAD, COMMISSIONER, WAS HOW ARE WE DOING ON OUR CONTINGENCY HERE? 'CAUSE IT KINDA STICKS IN MY MIND THAT WHEN WE PROVED THE FINAL BUDGET ON THIS, WE HAD A RATHER A TIGHTER CONTINGENCY THAN WE MIGHT HAVE IN OTHER TIMES.

I JUST WONDERED IF WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO STAY WITHIN THAT NUMBER AND WHERE WE'RE AT ON IT.

UM, THAT'S KIND OF A TOUGH QUESTION, ESPECIALLY WITH, UH, THE FURNITURE AND SCHEDULE DELAYS THAT WE'RE HAVING CURRENTLY, UH, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANGE ORDER FOR EXTENDED GENERAL CONDITIONS, UH, THAT HASN'T BEEN FULLY IDENTIFIED YET.

UM, BUT IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE SOMEWHAT SUBSTANTIAL.

UM, BUT THAT BEING SAID, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, CONTINGENCY IS STILL PRETTY HEALTHY.

UM, AND AS, AS, UH, COMMISSIONER STACY MENTIONED, WE HAVE ALLOWANCES OUTSIDE OF THE SEA MAR, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO REPLENISH THE CONTINGENCY THAT'S IN THE PROJECT, UM, TO HOPEFULLY BACK TO A HEALTHY STATE AFTER THIS.

OKAY.

WELL, AND I KNOW THAT THESE THINGS HARD TO PREDICT, ESPECIALLY ON REMODELS MM-HMM .

BECAUSE YOU, AS YOU SAID, WHEN YOU OPEN ONE THING, YOU FIND ANOTHER THING.

RIGHT.

BUT DO YOU EXPECT AT THIS POINT THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO STAY WITHIN OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET? YES.

CONTINGENCIES? YEAH.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, WE'VE OPENED UP 80% OF THE PROJECT.

AND, AND SO THAT, THAT IS GIVING US A LOT MORE CERTAINTY OF, OKAY, WE KNOW, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.

UM, AND THEN ONCE WE KIND OF GET THROUGH THE OPENING OF PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE IS JUST DISPATCH.

AND, AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH DISPATCH AT LENGTH , SO WE, WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT ONE ROOM.

AND THE ONLY REASON THERE IS THREE PHASES IS BECAUSE WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP DISPATCH COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL.

AND THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO TREAT 'EM ON THEIR OWN.

UM, SO THEY DIDN'T GET LOST IN THE, IN, IN THE MIX.

SO, UM, WITH 80% OF IT KIND OF BEING OPENED AND NOT, NOT TO MENTION THIS IS MOST OF THE OLD JAIL, UM, WHICH IS WHERE MOST OF OUR UNCERTAINTY WAS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANOTHER PART OF, UM, THAT CHANGE ORDER WITH THE DISPATCH COMING OUTTA THE CMAR IS WE WANTED, WE WANTED THE CMAR TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CRITICAL ACTIVITY, UH, TO TAKE ANY LIABILITY OFF OF, UH, THE OWNER'S SIDE FOR THE, YOU KNOW, AFFECTING THE PROJECT.

SO, UM, AND MY QUESTION IS KIND OF ALONG THE SAME LINES AS, AS COMMISSIONER IES, IS IT POSSIBLE, AND I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA POINT THIS TO, TO, UM, OUR AUDITOR FOR JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

IS IT, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO HAVE A, A REPORT THAT WE, WE LOOK AT OVER, YOU KNOW, THAT SHOWS US A PERCENT OF WHERE WE ARE IN USING THE CONTINGENCY MONEY AND WHAT PERCENT WE HAD PLANNED FOR, SO WE CAN KIND OF KEEP A GOOD EYE ON, IF WE START SEEING IT'S ITCHING UP, THEN WE, WE CAN EITHER DISCUSS IT AND LOOK AT WHAT WE, WELL, WE GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ON COURT, LIKE WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING, BUT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE PERCENTAGE.

SO WE CAN LOOK AT ADDING KIND OF PERCENTAGE TYPE STUFF TO THAT.

YEAH, WE, WE CAN LOOK THAT, LOOK AT THAT.

UM, I THINK THAT'S GOOD JUST FROM A TRANSPARENCY STANDPOINT FOR, FOR ME ANYWAY.

SO YOU WANT A PERCENTAGE OF THE CONTINGENCY THAT'S, YEAH.

AND LIKE KIND OF PERCENTAGE OF WORK.

SHE, SHE WANTS TO KNOW, LIKE IF WE'RE 60%

[00:20:01]

OKAY.

YES.

YEAH.

AND I WILL WORK WITH NICO ON THAT BEFORE THE NEXT COURT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR NICO? ALL RIGHT.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE, APPROVE.

I DID WANNA, I DID WANNA ADD ON PCO 14.

UH, THAT IS ALSO, IT'S NOT JUST THE FIRE ALARM SCOPE.

IT IS ALSO IDENTIFYING THE DOOR HARDWARE.

UH, WHEN WE STARTED THE PROJECT, WE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE DOOR HARDWARE WAS GONNA BE.

WE'VE NOW DETERMINED EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS.

I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 80 K, WHICH WAS SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER OUR ALLOWANCE, UH, WHICH IS GOOD.

AND SO THAT, THAT CO ALSO IS IDENTIFYING THAT SCOPE OF WORK.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA MAKE THE MOTION WE APPROVE PRIME CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER 12, 14, AND 15 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH SCI CONSTRUCTION FOR THE ROCKWELL COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE RENOVATION PROJECT.

SECOND, GOT MY MOTION, GOT A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ALANA.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IF YOU'LL REGISTER YOUR VOTES NOW, PLEASE.

IT PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.

THAT TAKES US TO

[10. Discuss/ Act on audio visual issues with the 382nd District Court, and all related issues; (Commissioner Stacy- IT Director)]

COMMISSIONER STACY, AS BRIAN'S COMING UP HERE, UM, I DID, WENT AHEAD AND MADE A VERY SIMPLE, UH, MEMO TO ADD TO, TO WHAT THE, WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

UM, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE WHERE THE COURT ACTUALLY HAS A DECISION TO MAKE ON WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

SO, UH, I JUST, I'M GONNA LET BRIAN WALK THROUGH IT.

I JUST WANT THE COURT TO KNOW THAT WE REALLY DO HAVE OPTION A AND OPTION B, AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

SO THAT'S WHY WE MADE SURE BRIAN WAS HERE TO PRESENT AND ANSWER ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS.

SO WITH THAT, BRIAN, YOU CAN, YOU CAN START.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, SO THERE WAS A LIGHTNING STRIKE AT THE NEW COURTHOUSE THAT, UH, TOOK OUT A, UH, VIDEO MATRIX IN THE THREE 82ND COURTROOM.

IT'S NOT COMPLETELY DOWN, BUT IT'S PARTIALLY BROKEN TO THE POINT WHERE SEVERAL OF THE MONITORS ARE NOT WORKING.

WE HAVE A WORKAROUND, BUT IT'S NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT.

WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, CABLES ON THE FLOOR AND SPLITTERS AND THINGS.

SO THEY'RE ABLE TO, TO STILL HAVE COURT AT THE MOMENT.

SINCE THEN, WE HAVE PUT IN AN INSURANCE CLAIM WITH THE HELP OF MANDY AND OTHER PEOPLE.

THANK YOU MANDY.

AND, UH, WE, WE WERE ABLE TO GET $14,400, UH, BACK TOWARDS THAT REPAIR.

SO OUR FIRST OPTION WOULD BE TO SEND THE DEVICE THAT'S BROKEN BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER, THEY REPAIR IT AND THEN RETURN IT, AND EVERYTHING IS UP AND RUNNING, WOULD BE STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THAT, THOUGH.

THE, WHILE THE DEVICE IS REMOVED, SINCE IT'S PARTIALLY WORKING NOW, WE'RE KIND OF DEPENDENT ON IT FOR OUR WORKAROUND.

SO IF WE PULL IT ALL THE WAY OUT TO SEND IT BACK TO THEM, THE ROOM WILL BE UNUSABLE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.

UH, ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE DEVICE IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED, SO THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE IT AND SEND US ONE.

THERE'S ALSO NO GUARANTEE THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED.

UM, THEY'VE GIVEN NO TIMEFRAME, AND FROM EVERYTHING I UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S GONNA BE WEEKS.

UH, AND THEN THEY COULD GET THE DEVICE AND SAY IT'S, UH, UNREPAIRABLE AND I'M SORRY.

BASICALLY IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

SO WE WOULD JUST BE OUT AT THAT POINT.

SO THEN OUR SECOND OPTION, AND I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE WAY TO GO, GIVEN THE ROOM THAT EQUIPMENT WAS REFRESHED IN 2019, PREVIOUSLY IN 2011 IS WHEN IT WAS FIRST INSTALLED WITH THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S A EIGHT YEAR CYCLE.

SO THEREFORE 2027 WOULD BE KIND OF LIKE THE NATURAL TIME WE WOULD START CONSIDERING REPLACING EVERYTHING IN THE ROOM ANYWAY.

UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M HEADED WITH THIS.

UH, SINCE THOSE NEW COURTROOMS ALSO ARE ON A DIFFERENT CONTROLLER AND A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND JUST REPLACE EVERYTHING IN THAT CHAIN.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT, UH, THAT WOULD BE A HUNDRED THOUSAND TO DO THAT.

UM, JUDGE HALL PREFERS THE OPTION WHERE WE JUST REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT WOULD BE LESS DISRUPTIVE AND IT WOULD GET HIS ROOM UP CLOSER TO THE STANDARDS OF THE NEWER COURTROOMS THAT ARE IN THERE.

SO I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, UH, WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU GUYS PREFER TO DO OPTION ONE WHERE WE SHIP THE THING OFF AND THEN I GUESS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MOVE JUDGE HALL TO THE NEW AUXILIARY COURTROOM ONCE THAT'S ALL READY TO GO? I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLOSE.

OR, UH, GO AHEAD

[00:25:01]

SO QUESTION NUMBER ONE, UH, MONEY COMES OUT OF CONTINGENCY OR IS, DOES A THREE 82ND HAVE A TECH FUND OR IT WOULD PROBABLY BE CONTINGENCY.

THAT'D BE ABOUT THE ONLY SPOT THAT IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM.

IT'S, I MEAN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD RECONCILE AT THE END OF THE BUDGET, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO BE THINKING WE CAN DO THAT.

IT NEEDS TO BE, IF WE'RE GONNA DO THIS, IT'S GONNA COME OUTTA THE CONTINGENCY.

SO JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, WHAT'S THE CURRENT STATUS OF OUR CONTINGENCY FOR THIS YEAR? I, I DON'T HAVE MY, UH, LATEST STATEMENT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I YOU'VE NOT USED ANY LARGE PORTIONS OF YOUR CONTINGENCY.

RIGHT.

AND IT WAS ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 500,000, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

OKAY.

SIX, WASN'T IT 600? I REMEMBER SIX, YEAH.

600 I THINK.

YEAH.

OKAY.

YEAH.

I HAD BROUGHT THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION THE LAST TIME YOU DISCUSSED USING CONTINGENCY THAT THIS WAS A POSSIBILITY OF COMING IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO YEAH, WE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS INSURANCE CLAIM FOR QUITE A WHILE.

UM, THANK YOU CAMMY AND MANDY AND, UH, EVEN DERY AND CRAIG HAD TO GET INVOLVED IN, IN THIS EFFORT.

SO THANK THANK EVERYONE FOR THAT.

BUT THE INSURANCE IS ON THE ACTUAL DEVICE THAT BROKE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.

WE'RE WE, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING A RECOVERY OF A DEVICE THAT, I MEAN, WE COULD, WE COULD MAKE IT WHOLE, BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST OPTION.

BUT AT THE TIME, THEY WERE DENYING THE CLAIM, THEY DENIED THE CLAIM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S NOT THE BEST OPTION BECAUSE REALLY, IF I HEARD YOU RIGHT, UM, 2020 WOULD BE KIND OF WHEN YOU WOULD'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MAKING SOME REPLACEMENTS AND UPDATES ANYWAY.

OKAY.

SO I, I THINK THE PROBABLY THE MAIN QUESTION WE, WE NEED TO ASK, DO WE WANT TO USE CONTINGENCY OR ARE WE COMFORTABLE USING A HUNDRED GRAND OF CONTINGENCY? WELL, TO BE FAIR, IT'S LIKE $86,000 CONTINGENCY SIX, BECAUSE WE'LL PUT THE 14 FOUR IN THERE.

WE ARE GETTING THE CHECK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

WE DO HAVE, I SHOULD HAVE SAID 86 WHEN I WAS PRESENTING YEAH, .

AND, AND THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT YOU WANNA STAY WITH, JUST AN UPGRADED VERSION OF THE SAME SYSTEM.

YES.

THIS WILL MATCH THE NEW C ROOMS. THE STUFF IN HERE, IT'S SYS VERSUS IT'S A DIFFERENT BRAND, BUT YEAH.

OKAY.

OKAY.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD.

NO, GO AHEAD.

I'M, I THINK CONTINGENCIES THE RIGHT MOVE FOR THE 86 GRAND THAT WE NEED TO DO.

I MEAN, IF WE'RE, WE, WERE GONNA UPGRADE THESE ANYWAY, I DON'T WANNA WASTE THIS $14,000 ON SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK.

I DON'T WANNA DO THAT.

AND THEN I JUST WANNA, BUT, BUT ALSO THOUGH, FOR THE OTHER COURTS, YOU WE'RE GONNA NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE NEXT ONE TO THREE YEARS.

UH, SURE.

I WAS, I MEAN, JUST SO WE KEEP THIS IN OUR BACK OF OUR MINDS, GUYS.

YEAH.

I WAS GONNA, UM, PROBABLY, SO ONCE WE SPEND THIS 86 ON THE THREE 82ND, THERE'S STILL SOME PIECES THAT ARE GONNA NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I'M PROBABLY GONNA ASK FOR THAT IN THE 27 BUDGET.

AND THEN KINDA WHAT'S IN THE BACK OF MY MIND IS TO GO AHEAD AND DO ONE OTHER FULL COURTROOM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR THAT YEAR.

SO THEN WE'D HAVE TWO DONE AT THE END OF 27, AND THEN BUDGET IN 28 FOR THE OTHER TWO, SO THAT THEN THEY'RE ALL FOUR DONE.

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.

'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A LOT IF WE DO IT ALL YEAR.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU'RE, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS.

AND WE CAN SCHEDULE IT THE END OF 27 AND THEN THE BEGINNING OF 28 SO THAT WE KIND OF BUNCH 'EM TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE WAY I'D LIKE TO DO IT IF POSSIBLE.

I, I LIKE THAT GAME PLAN.

AND WHEN YOU'RE SAYING THE, WHICH COURTROOMS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHICH ONES? BECAUSE WE JUST BUILT NEW COURTROOMS, RIGHT? YEAH.

WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE'S UH, THERE'S FOUR ON THE FOURTH FLOOR THAT WERE ALL REFRESHED IN, UH, 2019.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO COUNTY COURTS.

AND THE TWO DISTRICT COURTS, YEAH.

YEAH.

NOT THE NEW DISTRICT COURT, BUT RIGHT.

AND THEN THE, THE THIRD FLOOR ONES ARE ALL NEW STUFF.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS GONNA MAKE ONE OF THE FOURTH FLOOR COURTROOMS AT 82ND, ALMOST UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE NEWER ONES.

SO THEN I WOULD DO THE OTHER HALF OF THAT.

IT'S NOT EVEN A HALF.

IT'S LIKE GONNA BE LIKE 40,000 ISH PROBABLY TO FINISH IT UP.

AND THEN ONE OTHER COURT, I WILL ASK YOU GUYS TO DO ALL THREE DISTRICT COURTS.

OKAY.

SO, BUT BARRY'S CORRECTED ME ABOUT WHICH COURTS ARE WHERE, BUT OKAY.

BASICALLY, YEAH, BUT IT'S THE FOUR OLDER COURTROOMS. YEAH, THE FOUR OLD, THE FOURTH FLOOR ONES, WHAT I KNOW.

AND IT'LL BE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AS THE NEW ONES? YES.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AND, AND THE CONTINGENCY AMOUNT IS $600,517.

UM, AND

[00:30:02]

SO DO WE HAVE TO BID THIS OUT? I KNOW THIS BLOOM IS THE SAME PEOPLE WE'VE USED FOR THE OTHER COURTROOMS, RIGHT? FOR THE NEW ONES.

DENTISTRY'S GONNA ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MAN.

EVERYBODY'S MAN, WE'VE GOT THREE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED.

I LIKE IT.

BUT TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.

THAT'S RIGHT.

GOOD QUESTION, COMMISSIONER.

UH, YES.

UH, BECAUSE IT'S OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT DOES NEED TO BE, UH, DONE THROUGH ONE OF THE COOPERATIVE PURCHASING, UM, AGREEMENTS.

THE GOOD THING IS, IS, SO I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MULTIPLE BLOOM AGREEMENTS RECENTLY.

THIS ONE, I HAD ALREADY BEEN SPEAKING TO CARLOS ABOUT.

UH, THERE IS A TIPS CONTRACT NUMBER, UH, UNDER TIPS, THAT'S A PURCHASING COOPERATIVE IN WHICH THIS CAN GO UNDER, UM, THE VERSION THAT'S IN THE BACKUP, THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT VERSION.

AND IN FACT, EVEN THE VERSION CARLOS PRODUCED THAT JUST REFERENCES THE TIPS CONTRACT NUMBER IN THE QUOTE ISN'T QUITE UP TO SNUFF.

I'D LIKE HIM TO MAKE IT VERY PLAIN AND CLEAR THAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT TIPS, UM, AGREEMENT, VENDOR AGREEMENT, UH, APPLIES TO THIS PROPOSAL.

UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YEAH.

UH, IF IT CAN GET, IF HE CAN CHANGE THAT PROPOSAL TO CLEARLY REFERENCE THAT TIPS CONTRACT NUMBER, IF THE COURT APPROVES TO PROCEED, IT WILL BE DONE THROUGH THAT BECAUSE IT'S OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO IF IT'S TIPS WERE NOT REQUIRED TO DO A BIDDING PROCESS, WELL, TIPS IS A PURCHASING COOPERATIVE.

SO THAT'S AN EXCEPTION TO THE BIDDING REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

YEAH.

BUT IF WE GO THROUGH THAT, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THE BIDDING PROCESS.

CORRECT.

BECAUSE IT'S AN EXCEPTION TO THE BIDDING REQUIREMENT.

WELL, AND BASICALLY IT'S ALREADY BEEN BID.

YES.

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT, JUST LIKE THE DIRI WAS WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT YESTERDAY.

THAT, THAT, YEAH.

YEAH.

THERE'S, THERE'S A NUMBER OF EXCEPTIONS TO THE BIDDING REQUIREMENT.

ONE OF THEM IS TO GO THROUGH A PURCHASING COOPERATIVE BECAUSE BASICALLY THAT PROCESS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

UH, AND SOME OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY NEGOTIATED THIS VENDOR ONE, AND THIS PURCHASING COOPERATIVE HAS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ALL WORKED OUT, AND THEY SIGN.

AND THEN OTHER GOVERNMENTAL BODIES CAN USE THAT TO DO THEIR OWN AGREEMENTS WITH THE VENDOR BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY BEEN COMPETITIVELY BID THROUGH THEM.

THANK YOU.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

.

ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MR. CRENSHAW? ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? I THINK I'M GOOD.

OKAY.

I'LL, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF SOMEBODY'S SO INCLINED.

UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE BLOOM CONTRACT FOR THE A HUNDRED THOUSAND $452 AND 38 CENTS ON THE CONDITION THAT THE TIPS, UH, REQUIREMENTS ARE MET AND SATISFIED, UH, IN, IN, IN THE CONTRACT.

DOES THAT WORK DESTRO OR YOU WANT ME TO CLEAN IT UP? UM, MAYBE JUST, UH, CONTINGENT UPON THAT IT, YES, IT GOES THROUGH THAT TIPS CONTRACT.

I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER WITH ME, BUT, UM, THE TIPS AGREEMENT PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH BLOOM, UH, WITH THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS YEAH.

WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TIPS CONTRACT PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH BLOOM.

YES.

ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER STACEY.

I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER M**K, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD UNDER COMMENTS THAT THIS WILL COME OUT OF OUR CONTINGENCY LINE ITEM.

[12. Discuss/Act on approving the Guardian RFID System Agreement Addendum B Amendment to the current master agreement for additional handheld devices and software licenses, and all related issues; (Judge New - Sheriff)]

SHERIFF, THANK YOU, JUDGE.

THIS, UH, THIS DEVICE IS AN ADDENDUM OR AN ADDITION TO OUR, UH, GUARDIAN CONTRACT THAT WOULD, UM, ALLOW US TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SCANNERS FOR THE THIRD FLOOR JAIL AREA FOR TRACKING INMATES.

AND THIS WILL BE, UH, IT IS A, UM, A PRORATED AMOUNT THAT IS ADDED TO THE CURRENT CONTRACT, AND IT WILL BE COMING OUT OF COMMISSARY.

SO IT'S NOT OUTTA THE LINE ITEM THAT'S BUDGETED.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SHERIFF? I, I JUST WANNA SAY FOR A LITTLE KNOWN FACT IS THAT OUR COURTHOUSE DOES HAVE A JAIL IN IT.

SO I DON'T, I KNOW THAT IT'S BEHIND THE SCENES AND PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE IT.

SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE OUR JAIL OPERATIONS INSIDE THE NEW COURTHOUSE AS WELL.

THREE.

I I REALIZE THAT, THAT, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO SIMPLIFY IT.

YEAH, .

OKAY.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? UH, IF NOT, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE GUARDIAN RFID SYSTEM AGREEMENT ADDENDUM B AMENDMENT TO THE CURRENT MASTER AGREEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL HANDHELD DEVICES AND SOFTWARE LICENSES.

[13. Discuss/Act on approving a Crossing Agreement with Cash Special Utility District for installation of a 6" waterline in a 10" encasement on W. Highline Dr located in Rockwall County, and all related issues; (Commissioner Liechty- County Engineer)]

COMMISSIONER LTI? WELL, I WOULD DO THIS ITEM THE MOST JUSTICE AND BE MOST EFFICIENT BY HANDING IT OVER TO ERICA BRIDGES, OUR COUNTY ENGINEER.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

UM, THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE ITEM.

CASH SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT HAS REQUESTED TO INSTALL A SIX INCH WATER LINE ON WEST HIGHLINE.

UM, AND THIS WILL BE SUPPORTING FIRE PROTECTION FOR A NEW BUSINESS AT TWO 70 WEST HIGHLINE.

AND IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M, I, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.

MM-HMM .

UM, THIS BUSINESS THAT IT'S SUPPORTING, ARE ALL THEIR REQUIREMENTS NOW SATISFIED? NOT JUST YET, BUT THIS, THIS IS, THIS WILL BE PART OF IT.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BIG ONES.

YEAH.

YEAH.

UH, PUTTING IN A FIRE HYDRANT AND POTENTIALLY HAVING TO SPRINKLE THE BUILDING, UH, THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE WITH THE SMALL WATER LINE THAT WAS LOCATED ON WEST HIGHLINE.

YEAH.

SO THIS EXTENSION WAS NECESSARY? YEAH.

OKAY.

GOOD.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE A CROSSING AGREEMENT WITH CASH SPECIALTY UTILITY DISTRICT FOR INSTALLATION OF A SIX INCH WATER LINE IN A 10 INCH ENCASEMENT ON WEST HIGHLINE DRIVE, LOCATED IN ROCKWALL COUNTY.

I WILL SECOND THAT.

GOT MY MOTION.

[14. Discuss/ Act on approving a request to develop a Verizon Cell Tower site in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area located at 1162 Highpoint Rd in accordance with Section 7 .9 of the Rockwall County Subdivision and Land Development Regulations, and all related issues; (Commissioner Liechty - County Engineer)]

COMMISSIONER LTY.

OKAY.

AND AGAIN, I'M GONNA HAVE, UH, OUR COUNTY ENGINEER DEAL WITH THIS, BUT BEFORE WE GO TO YOUR PRESENTATION, I LEFT ON EVERYONE'S SPACE THIS MORNING.

THIS, THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED, THIS CELL TOWER WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2024 WHEN MY LIFE WAS A LOT SIMPLER, UM, AND , BUT IT WAS, BUT IT WAS, UH, IT WAS APPROVED SUBJECT TO, IF YOU'LL NOTICE THE SECOND PARAGRAPH THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED THERE, IT'S SUBJECT TO ATTAINING A FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT, WHICH INCLUDES A BASIC INDEMNITY AGREEMENT.

UM, THE FLOOD PLAIN STUDY HAS BEEN DONE.

AND THAT IS WHAT, UH, ERICA'S GONNA TALK TO US ABOUT THIS MORNING AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF.

WE HAD SOME CONFUSION AND MIX UP BACK AND FORTH WITH OUR, WITH THE

[00:40:01]

AND WE HAVE NOT GOT A FINAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT.

WE, THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS NECESSARY.

UM, BUT BASED UPON THE LANGUAGE OF THE RESOLUTION THAT APPROVED IT, IT IS NECESSARY.

SO UNLESS THEY WANNA BRING THE WHOLE THING BACK FOR RECONSIDERATION, IF WE'RE GONNA RELY ON THE APPROVAL THAT WAS GIVEN BACK IN JANUARY OF 24, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE AN INDEMNITY AGREEMENT.

AND WE MADE THAT, LET THEM KNOW THAT, UM, THEY SENT A FORM OF INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, UH, IT WAS MARKED UP BY MYSELF AND BY DANIEL RAY AND SENT BACK TO THEM.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM ON THEIR RESPONSE TO OUR INDEMNITY AGREEMENT.

SO WHEN WE'RE ASKED TO CONSIDER THIS THIS MORNING, ANY APPROVAL OF THIS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO, UH, RECEIVING THAT BASIC INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, UH, IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO OUR LEGAL COUNSEL.

AND IF WE APPROVE IT AND WE DON'T GET THE INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, THEY WON'T GET THEIR PERMIT.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

THIS IS ALL BASED UPON, OR AN APPROVAL THAT WAS DONE TWO YEARS AGO BY THE COURT.

SO NOW, IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD.

SURE.

I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD ON TO THAT A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS A, A VERY SMALL SITE THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE LEASING.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY FEET BY 50 FEET WITH, UH, A DRIVEWAY AND A TURNAROUND.

SO IT'S NOT A, NOT A VERY LARGE AREA.

UM, AND IT'S PARTIALLY IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

UH, THEY HAVE PROVIDED A FLOOD STUDY THAT DETAILS WHAT IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD NOT HAVE AN IMPACT IN THE AREA ACCORDING TO THE ENGINEER.

UM, SO I'M COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT, UH, THIS MEETS OUR REQUIREMENTS OF 7.9 AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
