[Opening Prayer]
[00:00:03]
[INDISCERNIBLE] >>GOOD AFTERNOON.
IT'S 2:39. AND I WOULD LIKE THE QUALITY OCTOBER 18 2022 SPECIAL MISSION IS MEETING TO ORDER.
THIS AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONER ELLIS WILL DO OUR PRAYER.
>>THANK YOU. >>JUDGE, PATIENT DIXON WAS CAN THE BE RUNNING LATE. LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT I AM THERE FOR HIM. LORD, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GENEROUS TO US. GIVING US OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD.
AND GIVING THOSE WHO VOTED FOR US AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP US IN CHECK. WE PRAY FOR ALL OF COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE. PARTICULARLY THE COMMISSIONERS WHO ARE NOT HERE. WE PRAY THAT THEY SHOW UP AT THE LAST MEETING SO WE CAN MAKE DECISIONS AT THE BEST INTEREST
OF OUR COUNTY, THANK YOU, AMEN. >>AMEN.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ELLIS FOR THE PART WE WILL START WITH THE PLEDGE. 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.
ON OF THE TEXAS FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE, TEXAS, ONE STATE, UNDER GOD, ONE INDIVISIBLE.
SO, I JUST WANT TO TEUPDA EV ERYONE.
HI ALWAYSAD MY PHONE ON ME, WA CAREFUL PARTICULARLY ONNOT TO PUT IT SILENT OR LEAVE IT EEANYWHERE.
BETWN D YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AN TODAY.
S I HAVE MADE SOME SPEECHETHIS MORNING AND I SAID TO MY TEAM, IF YOU HOLD MY PHONE FOR A T MINUTE, MY POCKETS AREN'GREAT TODAY AND I SAID IF YOU SEE COMMISSIONER CAGLE OR RAMSES CALL COME OWTHROUGH ÃÃSTOP THE SH.
STOP THE PROGRAM.BECAUSE THE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW. IT IS TO GET OUR COUNTY FUNDED.
OUR HOSPITALS FUNDED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDED.
I DID NOT HEAR FROM COMMISSIONER CAGLE OR FROM COMMISSIONER RAMSEY. DESPITE MY PLEA THAT THEY CALL ME. SO THAT WE COULD COME UP WITH A NEGOTIATED SOLUTION TO THIS BUDGET STANDPOINT.
STANDOFF THAT THEY VERY MUCH CREATED.
AND SO, IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY NEVER INTENDED TO HAVE A NEGOTIATED SOLUTION. THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO WEAPON EYES A PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOT HERE TODAY, THEY WERE NOT HERE YESTERDAY AT THE MEETING THAT THEY THEMSELVES ASKED ME TO CONVENE. I SAID YESTERDAY, NOT EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGREE WITH M DECISIONS, BUT MY GOAL IS TO MAKE THEDECISIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
ATTO THE BEST OF MY EFFORTS AND IN GOOD FAITH.
WH THEY ARE DOING IS NOT THAT.
THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR POLITICAL ANALYSES.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S ADVISING THEM.
I DON'T KNOW WHO CLIPPED THEIR WINGS AND TOLD HIM NOT PASSING A COUNTY BUDGET WOULD BE POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT.
THAT LEAVING THE HARRIS HEALTH SYSTEM AT A $45 MILLION DEFICIT IS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT. BUT NOT ADDING $100 MILLION ENFORCEMENT FUNDING IS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT, BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND OUR TRANSPARENCY ON THIS GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN THROWN BACK IN OUR FACE.
SO, I'M GONNA KEEP FIGHTING AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP FIGHTING.
IN THE YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE. I WAS HERE WHEN I WAS SICK, COMMISSIONER GARCIA WAS HERE YESTERDAY DURING A VERY DIFFICULT PERSONAL TIME. BUT THEY WERE HERE.
SO, I JUST WANT TO GO OVER COLLEAGUES, WHAT I PROPOSE FOR TODAY. I PROPOSE THAT WE BEGIN OUR MEETING AS USUAL WITH OUR RESOLUTIONS.
AND WE GO DOWN THE AGENDA AS USUAL.
SO, WE WILL GO OVER CONSENT ITEMS. WE WILL HEAR FROM ALL THE SPEAKERS AND THEN WE GOOD ON THE AGENDA WHEN WE GET THE ITEMS 21 AND 22.
THERE ARE FOUR ITEMS RELATED TO THE BUDGET AND THE TAX RATE.
THE ITEMS ARE 21, 22, 221 AND 222, SOMEWHERE ALONG THOSE LINES. ITEM 21 IS ABOUT MAKING CHANGES TO THE BUDGET ITSELF. NOW, TO BE CLEAR AND MR. BARRY WILL CORRECT ME FROM WRONG. WHAT WE NEED TO DO BY OCTOBER 28 IS ADOPT THE TAX RATE CUT. RIGHT? THE TAX RATE CUT. THE ONLY THINGS ON THE TABLE AT THE TAX RATE CUTS. THE BUDGET WE CAN CHANGE AFTER
[00:05:04]
THAT. RIGHT?>>THAT IS CORRECT AND I DO BELIEVE ÃÃYOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE THE ADDITIONAL STEP OF APPROVING THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. IT DEFAULTS TO THE AFTER
OCTOBER 28. >>WHAT WE NEED TO DO BY THEN IS PASSED THE TAX RATE CUT. AND THESE GUYS ARE SIMPLY NOT SHOWING UP. IT JUST ÃÃIT JUST SEEMS LIKE I WOULD JUST BE ARGUING WITH OURSELVES TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET. THEY WANT US TO SPIN OUR WHEELS TO SEE US WASTE TIME. YOU CANNOT HAVE A NEGOTIATION IF THERE IS NOT THE OTHER SIDE TO NEGOTIATE WITH.
SO, I WOULD ADVOCATE THE WE NOT ENGAGE IN A CIRCULAR DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET. WHAT I WOULD ENRECOMMD THAT WE OLDO AND FKS ARE ABOUT TO GET A ANMBER ALERT HERE.T IS WE PUTHE TAX RATE ALCUT PROPOSS ON OCTOBER 25.
IF THEY SHOW UP THAT DAY AND THAT PASSES ÃÃWHICH WOULD NG INCLUDE ADDITIONAL FUNDI FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE MAFLICK CONTROL DISTRICT PRESUBLY, AT LEAST FLIGHT CONTROL DISTRICT, THEY A A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET.
AND FUTURE DATE. SO, NOW WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DIBUDGET WITH THEM, BUT TO HAVE A SCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW WHEN THEY ARE SABOTAGING THE BUDGET PROCESS SEEMS TO ME JUST A WASTE OF US TIME. I ALSO RECOMMEND THAT WE NOT DISCS OR ACT ON ITEMS 221 AND 222.
TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS CLEAR, ITEMS 221 AND 222 ARE ABOUT TAX RATES THAT WERE PUBLISHED LEADING UP TO TODAY'S MEETING. AND SO, IN ORDER TO GIVE CAGLE AND RAMSEY THE ABSOLUTE FINAL OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOW UP AND DO RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE OF HARRIS COUNTY ÃTHIS WE WOULD NOT VOTE ON TAX RATES TODAY. WE WOULD VOTE TAX RATES ON THE 25TH, WHICH IS THE VERY LAST DAY TO VOTE ON TAX RATES.
WHAT I'M SAYING ARIS ONCE WE GE TO IT AND WE CAN CERTAINLY STT WITH IT BECAUSE WISH. BUT AT SOME POINT IN THIS MEETING THAT WE SHOULD SIMPLY DISCUSS ITEM 22.
THAT IS DISCUSS WHICH TAX RATE CUTS WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE AND FOR OCTOBER 25 AND WHETHER WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE
MEETING OR MULTIPLE MEETINGS. >>MR. JUDGE ÃÃI'M JUST TRYING TO RECALL FROM YESTERDAY. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION WE CAN POST SOMETHING BY WEDNESDAY.
JUST WALK ME THROUGH. MAYBE I'M MISSING IT.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS THURSDAY?
>>WE HAVE RATES THAT ARE POSTED FOR THIS MEETING.
>>YES. >>THAT THIS BODY CAN ACT ON IF
THERE WAS A QUORUM. >>OKAY PUT
>>TO SPEAKERS FOR THOSE AND WE BELIEVE WE HAVE TO HERE.
IF THE OPEN THE PUBLICAN IN THE CLOSET AFTER.
IF THIS COURT WERE TO DECIDE THAT YOU ALL WANTED TO POST NEW RATES ÃÃWE WOULD NEED TO GET THAT DIRECTION TODAY IN ORDER TO POST FOR NEXT TUESDAY THE 25TH.
>>SO LEGAL, THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTOOD YESTERDAY.
>>THAT IS CORRECT. >>SO JUDGE, IS WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING IS WE HAVE TO KIND OF NEGOTIATE WITH OURSELVES. MY RELUCTANCE AS AN EXAMPLE WOULD GO A LOWER RATE THAN COMPROMISED RATE.
PUSHING A BUDGET AS RECOMMENDED.
IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN A CALL OR THERE WAS SOME INDICATION THAT THEY WOULD VOTE ÃÃTHEY WOULD SHOW UP.
YOU GOT ME? IF THEY WOULD JUST SAY THAT THEY WOULD SHOW UP ÃÃI MAY EVEN DECIDE THAT MAYBE I WOULD VOTE FOR IT. BUT AT LEAST FOR ME, IN TERMS OF DECIDING WHAT HOST ÃÃYOU KNOW? THE TWO OF US, INDIVIDUALS HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS.
I THINK YESTERDAY, THE DISCUSSIONS ARE INDICATING THAT MAYBE AT LEAST ONE OF US FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, I WOULD SAY THAT I'M GONNA GO WITH THE COMPROMISE RATE THAT WAS INITIALLY RECOMMENDED. I WOULD NOT GO MORE UNLESS I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO SHOW UP.
I DON'T WANT TO DO THE NORMAL REVENUE RATE.
I'M GONNA GO VOTE FOR SOMETHING LOWER.
HOPING THAT THEY WILL COME ÃÃ THAT THEY WOULD SAY THEY WOULD COME. MAY BE ÃÃEVEN IF I HAD RESERVATIONS ÃÃI WOULD VOTE FOR.
REGARDLESS, EVEN FOR THE OTHER TWO, MAYBE I WOULD BE PERSUADED, BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU KNOW, WE ARE NEGOTIATING ON THE THREE OF US, BUT ONLY TAKES THEM TO VOTE.
TO DECIDE WHAT TO ASK YOU ALL TO POST.
[00:10:08]
JUST AS IN THE AD>>WE H TO DECIDE BY THURSDAY FOR YOU TO ADECIDET THIS ET MEING.
>>WHAT WE COULD DO IS POST THE THAT WERE POSTED TODAY, BUT DECIDE TO POST THEM FOR THE 25TH INSIDOF TWO SEPARATE MEETINGS D AND SAY WELCOME I DINOT WANT TO PUT ON THEM LDALTOGETHER. BUT WE COU DECIDE TO POST COLOWER RATES FOR PERHAPS GARCIAS ER COMPROMISE. THE COUPLE MIGHT RATES ON, ON, ON HARRIS HEALTH OR ON FLOOD CONTROL BECAUSE KEITH'S PROPOSAL HAS THE SAME FLOOD CONTROL FUNDING ISGARCIAS PROPOSAL. WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE DO HAVE SPEAKERS ON THESE ITEMS.WE OU COULD HAVE THE DISCUSSION NOW, WE CLD HAVE AFTER SPEAKERS GET ON IT.
THE POINT IS TODAY SETHAT WE'VE GOT TO POST THE SAME RATES IMPO DIFFERENT RATES. I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF DISCUSSING THE BUDGET AND ALSO DON'T SEE THE POINT OF VOTING IN THE RATES TODAY. BECAUSE WE MIGHT AS WELL CALL THEM ON THE BLUFF LATER AND MAYBE THEY WILL HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART AND GET THEIR CONSCIENCE BACK.
>>WHENEVER WE VOTE FOR IS WHATEVER WE HAVE TO GO ON HOW WHAT THE RATE WILL BE FIRST. BECAUSE OF THE NEW STATE LAW, IF WE GO VOTE ON THE BUDGET ÃÃ IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S LOCKED IN FOR CERTAIN CATEGORIES.
[INDISCERNIBLE] >>IT'S NOT RELATED TO A BUDGET.
YOU JUST HAVE TO PROPOSE RATES AND VOTE ON THIS PROPOSED RATE BEFORE THEY COULD THEN BE VOTED ON AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING.
WOULD HAVE TO PROPOSE THAT. >>WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS IF WE DON'T PUT ON RATES TODAY, IT WOULD NOT BE SMART TO VOTE ON A BUDGET LARGER THAN WE HAVE RATES FOR.
WE WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO THAT. NOW, WOULD YOU HAVE AND I THINK CHARLOTTE KNOWS THIS. WE DO HAVE RATES ON THE TABLE TODAY. WHICH ARE OF THE ORIGINAL ONES.
WHICH WE COULD VOTE ON. M MY VOTE WOULD BE TO WAIT UNTI THE 25TH BECAUSE I ASTILL BEWILDERED THAT COMMISSIONER CAGLE IS WATCHING DOCTOR PORTIA BREAK DOWN IN TEARS AND HE'S NOT HERE TODAY. I CANNOT.
I CANNOT PICK >>AS LONG AS WE POST THEM, AS LONG AS WE VOTE ON THIS. WE CAN VOTE ON THE 25TH.
>>JUST TO CLARIFY ÃÃTODAY ÃÃ WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU VOTE ON WHICH RATES? THE 25TH? I DON'T THINK IT MAKES ANY SENSE.
I AGREE WITH THE JUDGE. >>TO THE ORDER OF THE RATES.
THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL RATES. >>BOTH OF THE RATES TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE 25TH AND WHETHER YOU WANT ONE HEARING.
THREE HEARINGS YOU CAN DO FOR WITH THE PORT.
THAT'S TODAY. ACTUALLY IT OPERATES?
>>IT WOULD BE DOING THE 25TH. >>WE CANNOT DO THE 25TH BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE FOUR OF THEM. OKAY.
SO THAT'S WHERE I MESSED UP. >>WE MAY NOT HAVE TO VOTE ON IT AT ALL. PEOPLE SHOW UP.
IN THE SUN WHEN THEY GET TO LIVE WITH THAT AND THE THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT GOING TO GET A COLONOSCOPY.
>>DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
>>I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT LOOK COMMISSIONER RAMSEY AND ABEL. RELATING TO COMMISSIONER ELSE'S REMARKS ÃÃYOU HAVE TAKEN ISSUE WITH THE PHRASE THAT I USED A FINAL OFFER. FINAL OFFER WAS FOR ME.
I MEAN ÃÃI CAN'T NEGOTIATE BY MYSELF.
AND SO I AM WILLING TO NEGOTIATE IF YOU WOULD JUST SHOW UP. BUT IT CANNOT MAKE ANY MORE NEGOTIATIONS OR OFFERS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M WORKING TOWARDS HER WHAT I'M WORKING AGAINST.
SO UNLESS THE OFFER IS NOT NEW REVENUE RATE PERIOD REGARDLESS, THEN LET US KNOW SO THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
CUSTOMÁ JUDGE, IF I MIGHT. COMMISSIONER GARCIA, I KNOW I SAID IT YESTERDAY, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN.
I COMMEND YOU FOR OFFERING A COMPROMISE.
AND OF COURSE YOU MAKE YOUR POINT YESTERDAY AND MAYOU KE IT AGAIN. MY SENSE T IS THATHEY HAVE BEENN TOLDOT TO COME. AND IT JUST FROM MY YOU KNOW, 39 E YEARS IN ELECTIVOFFICE OF 38 JUSTICE OF GOA E PRETTY GOOD SENSOF EYWHAT'S GOING ON. TH THINK THAT THAT'S A D STRATEGY FOR THEM ANTHEY ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THE 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE PEACE THAT THEY REPRESENT.
[00:15:04]
WE REPRESENT ALL 4.8 IN THE COUNTY.YOU KNOW? NONE OF US REREPRESENT OUR DISTRICT. WE REPSENT ALL COUNTY.
ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY.HEN I VEDO SOMETHING.
BUT THE ONLY REASON I HA TREPIDATIONS ABOUT COMPROMISE WAS THAT I FELT LIKE IF YOU WERE NOT MAKING A RACE TO THE BOTTOM, BUT YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO AVOID THE BOTTOM OF THE
YOU GOT ME?>AND I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT THAT IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT IT AS LOW AS THEY WANTED IT AND FUND THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THEY WANTED FUNDED.
WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ONE OF THEM WOULD VOTE FOR. I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM A FREE RIDE. THEY JUST DICTATE WHAT YOU WANT. SAY BUT I WILL SHOW UP AND THEN GO SAY OH, BUT I WANT TO LOWER YOUR TAXES COULD SO, THAT'S WHY I MAKE THE COMMENT. I'M JUST GOING TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING. SEE HOW THEY VOTE BUT, I COMMEND YOU JUDGE. YOU SCHEDULED EXTRA MEETING.
AND YOU KNOW, Y'ALL HAVE MORE LIFE TO DO IT MORE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BECAUSE IT IS THE TIME OF THE SEASON.
IF WE HAD TIME TO COME BACK IN AND IF WE COULD RECESS AND COME BACK AT 11 O'CLOCK TONIGHT I WOULD DO IT.
BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THEY ARE JUSTICE READ IT AT THE LEAST SAYS TO THEM WHAT IT MEANS FOR HEALTHCARE AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND ALL THOSE ISSUES GO TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THEY THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO TRY AND BE IN OFFICE AND EMPOWER THEM TO DO WHAT I THINK THEY KNOW IS RIGHT.
AND LOOK, I'M JUST BLESSED. I NEVER HAD TO LOOK IN WORRY ABOUT DENYING MY BACK AND THEY WOULDN'T CARE.
IT WOULD BE THE END OF THE WORLD IF I SAID MANY TIMES THAT I DID NOT HAVE THIS TITLE FOR MY NAME.
IT WOULD BE OKAY AND WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF THAN MOST PEOPLE THAT WAY MY JUDGMENT. SO, IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK AND AT MIDNIGHT OR BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
WANT TO COME BACK AT 11 O'CLOCK, THAT'S FINE.
BUT MY SENSE IS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP.
>>ALSO THE SAME AND MY PHONE WILL REMAIN ON BEFORE THE MEETING ADJOURNED. IT'S ALWAYS ON, BUT I'M WATCHING IT.TO SEE COMMISSIONER CAGLE COMMISSIONER RAMSEY HAVE ABOUT OF CONSCIENCE AND THEY REACH OUT AND SAY HI, RECESSED THE MEETING, LET'S RECONVENE AT FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, 11, LIKE YOU SAID. WE WILL BE HERE.
ONCE THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. LAST CHANCES OF 25TH.
AND I WONDER ABOUT THESE FOLKS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT GETTING ENOUGH LONG COSMIC PUMPING.
THEY ARE ABOUT TO LOSE $100 MILLION.
SO, I WONDER WHERE THEY ARE, WHY THEY ARE NOT ASKING PUBLICLY COMMISSIONERS CAGLE AND RAMSEY IS AT THIS DAIS.
AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHETHER ÃÃMEANS WHAT THEY SAID WHEN THEY WANTED MORE FUNDING. THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE $100 MILLION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. I'VE NOT SEEN THEM IN THE NEWS.
[Resolutions (Part 1 of 2)]
ASKING FOR COMMISSIONERS TO COME GET THEM $100 MILLION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDING. I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT.IT BAFFLES ME. SO, ANYWAY, SO LET'S GO IN ORDER HERE. WE WILL START WITH THE RESOLUTIONS BUT MY FIRST RESOLUTION IS ITEM 2. BISHOP DIXON IS HERE FOR THAT RESOLUTION AS WELL AND HE'S NOT HERE YET. SO, WE WILL TAKE UP WHEN HE ARRIVES. ITEM 3 IS PROCLAIMING ÃÃ OCTOBER NINTH THROUGH THE 15TH IS FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.

WHAT WE ALL FOR POLITICAL THREATS AGAINST THE DANGER OF CRIME WHEN IT'S A FACT THAT PEOPLE WILL DIE WITHOUT HEALTHCARE? PERHAPS THE 20 OR DISCREPANCY IN LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE COUNTY MAKES IT BETWEEN ZIP CODES MAKES IT HARD FOR SOME OF THOSE MAKING POLICY DECISIONS THAT EMPATHIZE WITH WHAT IT'S LIKE IN NATURE.

A STORY THAT PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATES THE INTERSECTION OF COMMUNITY AND MATERNAL HEALTH, THE ABJECT OF FAILURE AS SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES IN THE JAIL AND THE COSTLY WASTEFULNESS OF CONSTABLE PRECINCT ACTIONS.

WHEN HERSELF DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT THEY NEED TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE FOR SUFFICIENTLY, THE RESIDENTS OF HARRIS COUNTY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT HEALTHCARE. WHEN POLLUTION CONTROL DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT IT NEEDS TO ENSURE CLEAN AIR, IT CONSTITUENTS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN AIR.
HEN OUR MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO NEIGHBORING NEIGHBORHOODS OUTSIDE OF THE LOOP, MANY OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE DEMEANORS DOWNTOWN OR ACCESS TO GET THEMSELVES TO THE COMMUNITIES
[00:55:01]
AROUND THEM. IN THE FUTURE, I BELIEVE THAT AS I WOULD MUCH RATHER LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND SEE A BUS STOP BY A PARK THAN A STREET FULL OF CARS.I WOULD MUCH RATHER MY NEIGHBOR BE A DOCTOR THAN A COP.

I WOULD LOVE FOR RYAN TO HAVE A REMARK IF HE CAN HAVE A MOMENT BUT TO SAY TO YOU COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND COMMISSIONER ELLIS TOOK ME TO THIS BOARD YEARS AGO ÃÃI WAS THINKING WHAT GOOD COULD YOU DO ON THE BOARD? AND WHAT I DISCOVERED AND LEARNED SO MUCH MORE ABOUT WHAT AN RG PARK DOES IN THIS REGION ÃÃIT'S ASTRONOMICAL. ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY AND CULTURALLY IS BEYOND OUR COMPREHENSION.
[INDISCERNIBLE] THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JUDGE FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE TO SERVE AS CHAIRMAN OF THIS BOARD.
I'M HONORED TO REPRESENT OUR COUNTY AND THINK ABOUT WHAT MY MOTHER TOOK ME TO A BASEBALL GAME.
I WAS A KID WHEN MY FATHER TOOK US OUT.

>>THINK YOU JUDGE YOU COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU.>ALL RIGHT. >>THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>>THANK YOU FOR >>LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A
[INDISCERNIBLE] >>I A SO YOU BROUGHT THREE.
ANOTHER TWO BACK TO PICK CAN I GET ANOTHER TWO?
>>THINK SO MUCH. >>THANK I YOU.
I LIKE IT. I WILL BE HERE, BUT I'LL BE PRAYING FOR VOTES FROM THE FRIENDS ON SUNDAY.
>>JUDGE, IF I MIGHT ON A RESOLUTION, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. WE CAN ALL VOTE ON IT.
THIS IS FOR THE ITEMS THAT I HAD FOR THE URALS ÃÃTHAT ARE UP AND DOWN TIME. DOWNTOWN IT'S CALLED BIGGER CHANGE. IN BISHOP DISTRICT LIKES TO YOU AND RYAN SOMEWHAT. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE MY FOLKS FROM TOP LEFT. I SHOULD'VE SAID EARLIER.
FOR THEM TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT THEM.
THE DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT DISTRICT ÃÃIT WAS KIND ENOUGH TO PAY FOR SIX OF THOSE NEW GIGANTIC GIRLS IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON. AND HOTEL ENERGIES PAID FOR THREE OF THEM. THERE'S ONE OTHER ONE TOOK THE CURATOR ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] WE ATTENDED THE UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTIONS OF RELATED TO THE 17 SUSTAINABILITY GOALS THAT THE UNITED NATIONS HAVE RS APPROVED. I HOPE THAT WE WOULD BE THE FIT COUNTY OR CITY IN THE NATION TO PUT ALL 17 OF THEM.
AND I WANT TO MENTION THIS BECAUSE BISHOP WAS E HELPFUL WH THEY WERE HERE AND THEN BUILD THFIRST ONE ABOUT HUNGER.
GIGANTIC. IT IS SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE ONE THAT WENT UP OVER AT SIDE TESTERS AT SIDE OF TOYOTA CENTER BY THE WAY. SLIGHTLY LARGER.
BUT THERE ARE MURALS WITH A PURPOSE.
YOU COULD PUT THE MESSAGE THAT PURDUE NOT LET WORLD HUNGER CONTINUE, BUT THEY DO THROUGH FACES.
REALLY TO SPARE CONVERSATION AND THEY DONE THAT.
COMMISSIONER GARCIA SAID THERE CALL FROM YESTERDAY.
AND SAID MAN, THE GRAFFITI ARTIST EARLY GOT YOU LAST MEAL.
AND SO, I WENT RUNNING OUT THERE TO LOOK AND I TALKED TO THE MURALIST AND I WAS TELLING HIM A SECOND AGO THAT IT MAKES THE POINT WHAT ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY MATTER.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WALL RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE ACCOUNTABILITY THIS DISH YOU SEE THOSE NUMBERS AND FIGURES, THE WAY THEY DO IS EACH ARTIST IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S DIFFERENT. BUT AT NIGHT, THEY GO UP AND THEY REFLECT THE IMAGE ON THE WALL.
AND THEN THEY GO UP AND THEY DO GEOMETRIC MEASURES AND SOME ALGEBRA. NUMBERS UP THERE THAT I THINK AND THEN THEY GO BACK AND PAIN. THE DUTIES IN 10 DAYS.
MENTION THIS BEFORE YOU GO, BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THEM. SO SOME OF THEM BISHOP.
BISHOP AND I WERE SO MOVED BY THAT MURAL ABOUT HUNGER.
ENDING HUNGER. WE CAME OVER TO THE IDEA OF PUTTING THEM AROUND THE AN RG COMPLEX.
INCLUDING THE ASTRODOME.AND OF COURSE WE GET JAMMED UP BUT THIS COMMISSION AND I THINK THEY SAID THAT I WANT TO GO PUT INTERNATIONAL INTO A GIANT BILLBOARD.
SO, I DID TELL THEM THAT I WON'T GO.
SUDDENLY SEND THEM A LITTLE BIT OF NOTICE AND SEE WHAT WE DID WITH SOME OF THESE AWFUL LOOKING BUILDINGS AND SOME NICE
[01:05:05]
BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN. I WANT TO SAY THIS ABOUT SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE. THERE IS A LOCAL HISPANIC WOMAN BAREFOOT ON HORSEBACK FOR ONE SIDE OF THE SAM HOUSTON HOTEL.WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND YOU CAN SEE IT.
HERE IS A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE. IT'S ABOUT CHILD LABOR.
AND SEX TRAFFICKING. SO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, UNTIL YOU HIT THE LITTLE LINK, YOU WILL NOT GET THE MESSAGE.
THE REASON SHE'S BAREFOOT AND HAS ACROSS THE TOP.
IT IS TO SPUR A DISCUSSION. THERE IS ONE ACROSS THE STREET ON THE SIDE OF THE SCANLON BUILDING.
ERWHE A TFORMERHINK TWO-TERM GOVERNOR OF ESTEXAS PRENT OR REPUBLICAN OF BTEXAS ÃSENATOR FROM T TEXAS DID A LOOF GREAT THINGS. GEHE'S ON WALL JUD RIGHT ABOVE YOUR NHEAD. HE LIVEDOT ONLY IN THE BUILDING, BUT AT THAT SITE. THHE DID A LOT OF GREAT INGS.
INCLUDING KEEPING RESIDING AS THE OF TEXAS. OF THE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TEXAS EDTO JOIN AND GO WITH THE CONFERATE STATES.
EVERYTHING HE DID WAS NOT LE RIGHT.
HE DID IT WITH 12 PEOP. AND I'M SURE SAM HOUSTON NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT THE SITE WHERE HE LIVED AT SOME POINT Ã ANÃTHERE WOULD BE LITTLE AFRICAN-AMERIC BOY ON A BICYCLE. COTTON RELATES TO MOBILITY.
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY. TIES INTO CLIMATE CHANGE.
ALSO IN THE SAME BUILDING, AL [INDISCERNIBLE] LIVED THERE. WHO TORE UP L THE TREES.
THE SAM HOUSTON DID WITH THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES.
HE LIVED AND HAD A NATIVE AMERICAN WIFE.
AND AN INDIAN WIFE FOR A WHILE. ACROSS THE WAY IS A MIRROR GOING UP TO WHAT YOU SAW. THAT WILL HAVE A LOCAL NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN ON IT. AND I'M SURE YOUR LAMAR WOULD ST NEVER DREAM. MAYBE IT WAS THREE OR FOUR ORES WHEN HE LIVED IN SAM HOUSTON.W.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S ABOUT 15 OR 20 STORIES NO NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT AT SOME POINTS I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WINDOW. IF HE LIVED THERE TODAY AND GO SEE A NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN THAT HE TRIED TO COMMIT GENOCIDE ON. ON THE PUBLIC.
BUT HOPE IN THE COME BACK IN DECEMBER FROM EITHER THE COUNTY AT LARGE WILL PAY CENTRAL HOUSTON, COULD BE TO HOTEL NOT PRECINCT ONE WILL. BECAUSE OF THE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THESE OTHER GOD AWFUL LOOKING WALLS.
THERE ARE ON THE END OF DOWNTOWN.
BUT THIS IT, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT AND I KNOW YOU AND BRIAN WERE MAKING THE CASE TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
YOU KNOW? LET'S HOPE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE ASTRODOME IN OUR LIFETIME. WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT, IT SURE WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO HAVE THE MESSAGES OF THIS AT ALL RELATED TO HUMAN TRACK TRAFFICKING.
BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, WHEN THE SUPER BOWL IS THERE ÃTHAT'S
WHEN THE WORLD CUP IS THERE. >>OTC.
>>OTC AS WE KNOW, WE KNOW THAT VENUE ÃÃTHOSE ARE THE PLACES WHERE THE BULK OF THAT SEX TRADE DOES THRIVE.
SO, I WANT TO MENTION THAT WHILE YOU ARE HERE.
I SUGGEST YOU WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND SEE THEM.>>JUDGE AND BISHOP AND RYAN, I LIKE THE TITLE BY THE WAY.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY VERONICA, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S REALLY DONE AND THAT YOU DO.
I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE. I WANTED TO FIRST JUST AS WE ARE ALMOST ON THE ANNIVERSARY. OF WHEN WE LAUNCHED THE SPECIAL EVENTS TASK FORCE. AND SO, I WANT TO APPLY BOTH YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT THE TASK FORCE. I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME RECOMMENDATIONS COMING AND THE FACT IS THAT SINCE THIS TASK FORCE WAS INTENDED TO LOOK FORWARD AND ENSURING THE UPCOMING EVENTS WOULD BE AMONG THE SAFEST JUSTICE IT WAS ALSO INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A COLLABORATIVE AND WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY BECAUSE THE UNIQUENESS OF OUR FACILITIES BEING INSIDE THE CITY, BUT OWNED IN THE COUNTY.
DOES REQUIRE SOME COORDINATION AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS FOR HOW WAS THAT. I WOULD BE PROPOSING A COUPLE OF THINGS PUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU'VE DONE.
THE WORK THAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO AND ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS TO THE JUDGE'S POINT ABOUT WORLD CUP COMING IS THAT I WAS WITH THE HPD BEFORE 2004 ELECTION TO COUNSEL.
I WAS PROTECTING THE WORLD CUP DURING THE EXHIBITION GAME AT AN AND I WAS LIKE I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS GOLD CUP AND I'M GOING TO RUN.
[01:10:04]
THBECAUSE I INK THE SOCCER FANS ARE GOING TO TEAR THIS DONE.DING [LAUGHTER] DOES A LOT OF ENERGY.A THERE'S LOT OF ENERGY AND JUDGE, ALL OVERCLOCKED ENDEAVOR TO MAKE THE TIME AND IURTHINK WAS YO TPREDECESSOR.ONE OFHE PREDECESSORS. OVER TO ME AND SAYS HE SAYS THINK THERE'S ANY DOUBT NOW THAT HOUSTON COULD ALSO BE A SOCCER TOWN? AND FACT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO LEND THE WORLD CUP. IT'S EVIDENCE OF THAT.
BUT, IT ALSO SPEAKS TO HELP WELL OUR FACILITIES ARE RUN.
HOW WILL THE ENERGY PARK IS AN IS EXCEPTED.
BY FIFA. SO, ALL THAT IS TO BE COMMITTED HERE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD A HAND IN IT AS WELL. BUT, NOBODY COMES TO A PARTY THAT IS NOT IN A PLACE THAT CANNOT HOLD A NICE PARTY.
AND ENERGY STADIUM IS EXACTLY THAT.
SO, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL BY ITSELF.
SOME OF THE CONTEXT ÃÃIT'S TJUST US A COUPLE OF PIECES Ã JUST THE MUTED MUSICO THAT SONG.
I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILL.
BLENDING THE WORLD CUP. TAND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TH GAME. HOWEVER,HANK YOU.
>>ALL RIGHT. >>I WAS JUST THINKING COMMISSION WHEN HE SAID THAT. I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR PASSING THE POLICIES. IT'S IMPORTANT.
HOW MUCH, BRIAN, ON THE SUPER BOWL WAS HERE, YOU MEMBER THE FIGURE COMMISSIONER REDDICK MENTIONED IT ONCE OR TWICE.
WHAT WE WAS IN THE SUPER BOWL WAS HERE?
>>A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.AN
>>WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TENACITY.
D JUST RHETORIC FOR IT. WE WILL NOT LOSE MONEY WHEN THE WORLD CUP COMES HERE. THIS IS A GREAT ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE PERMITTING YOU TO DO IN YOUR CHAIR.
UNLIKE MY AD, THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
IS THERE BUT IS HAPPY WHEN THE SUPER BOWL CAME.
THE CITY MADE SOME MONEY. WE LOST MONEY.
SO, AS PART OF PEOPLE ARE ABOUT THE WORLD CUP ÃÃSOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE EQUATION ÃÃ WHEN WE HAVE TO PICK UP THE TAB.SO, AND Y'ALL GONNA FIGURE OUT AND I WANT YOU TO SHARE. NOT TODAY, BUT HOW WE ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE WE'RE NOT GONNA LOSE MONEY WHEN IT COMES UP.
AND AT SOME POINT,?N BRIEF US ON THE PLANS.
FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO. WHETHER IT'S HOUSING, SOMETHING. SO THAT THAT GREAT ASSET IS NOT ON, AT LEAST FOR THE COMMISSIONER WHO REPRESENTED.
AS I SAID MANY TIMES, THAT'S A NO-BRAINER FOR ME.
WHEN I GO BACK TO THE PEOPLE THEY WERE PRESENT AND SAY THIS IS A GREAT AMENITY AND WE CANNOT DO ALL THESE OTHER THINGS ÃÃBUT WE ARE GOING TO PICK ÃTHIS WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS PICK UP THE TAB.T IS FOR ME.
AMID THE REAL CLUE. INCLUDING YOUR INVESTITURE SO TO SAY. SO, WE'RE IN AN RECEPTION IN YOUR HONOR, AS DETERMINED THAT IT MAKES SENSE THEN.
AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NOW. >>HOW DOES THAT NOT MAKE SENSE?
>>YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT'S OUR PHILOSOPHY AND I WANT TO SAY IN CONCLUSION WITH THIS.
COMMISSIONER, OUR CHALLENGE OF COURSE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
LIFT THE COUNTY.>>YES. >>AND THE ACQUISITION IS MEANT TO BE A GLOBAL DESTINATION. UT ALSO MAKE SURE THAT LOCALLY TAXPAYERS WIN, BECAUSE THEY OWN THE FACILITY PER
>>AND AROUND THE COUNTRY WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
>>I HEAR THAT PHILOSOPHY AND I SAY THIS.
WITH THE GREATEST MEDICAL CENTER ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
AND PEOPLE COME FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHEN THEY GET SICK.
WE SHOULD BE GHLIGHT ENOU AS EACOLLECTIVE LDERS TO HAVE AN ASSET IN OUR COUNTY THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM AROUND THEU WORLD WITHT HAVING TO BE SICK ANTO GET HERE.
D THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DESIGNING MASSIVE LANGUAGE AND GOING FORWARD. ANYTHING THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER YÃTHIS WEEKEND HAVE ATOUR HOME HERE AT AN RG PARK AND OED IT IN A WAY THAT DS NOT COST US, BUT IN A WAY THAT IT LIFTS
US. >>BISHOP, THIS IS ROLLED INTO THE AGENDA. WE DO HAVE A LEGISLATIVE ITEM ON THE AGENDA. EVEN IF IT MEANS ASKING TO CHANGE THE STATE LAW ÃÃ BECAUSE EVERY STATE DEPARTMENTS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE WORLD CUP BECAUSE THEY ARE FLUSHED WITH CASH. BECAUSE OF REGRESSIVE SALES
[01:15:05]
TAXES. THEY THEN COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FROM COUNTY GOVERNMENT IS PREDOMINANTLY OVERWHELMINGLY WITH PROPERTY TAXES PREDICTING CHANGE THE LAW. THE GOVERNOR WILL BE HERE.THE GOVERNOR WILL BE HAPPY. GO OUT WHEN THE WORLD CUP IS GOING OUT AND THEN THEY WILL TAKE IT TO AUSTIN AND THEN PUT WHAT WE CAN DO. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO AND ASK HEDUSTERS HOW TO CHANGE THE LAW? MAYBE THAT'S PART OF T EQUATION IN OTHER STATES. THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE LEGISLATION PACKAGE FOR YOU ALL.
>>THANK YOU. >>LISTEN, I KNEW THE THESE CAME WITH DELICIOUS COOKIES. I'M JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND.
>>THANK YOU. >>THANK YOU GUYS.
>>OKAY, SO, LET'S GO OVER THE CORRECTIONS.YES? SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING ELSE BUT LET'S GO OVER.

PUTTING THE PACK ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. 222 JUSTICE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM JUSTICE THAT'S A NO ACTION FOR THAT WOULD BE TO
ADOPT THE RIGHTS THAT ARE VERTICALLY PROPOSED.>>JUDGE, I'M SORRY, REAL QUICK, CAN I GO BACK TO WHAT HE SAID.
214 WAS CAN BE IN THE CONSENT? I'M SORRY.
>>TO CONSENT IN 215 BACK IN THE CONSENT.222 NO ACTION, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF A QUORUM.21 WEARILY HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO, HERE ARE THE ITEMS LISTED FOR THE DISCUSSION. THEY WOULD BE ITEMS 22, EXCUSE ME, THEY WOULD BE ITEMS EIGHT, NINE, 22, 25, 129, AND 210.
THOSE WOULD BE THE DISCUSSION ITEMS. SO, LET ME START WITH ÃÃ JUDGE?
>>214 AND 215 OUR DISCUSSION ONLY IS WHAT I'M HEARING HERE.
YOU HAVE 215? >>YES, EARLY BUT THIS IS NO
>>LET ME BE BRIEF. >>WAS THE CONSENT AGENDA?
>>YES. >>I'M SORRY, BEFORE Y'ALL DO
THIS. >>I WANTED TO CHECK WITH OKAY.
SORRY. IS THERE A MOTION FOR ALL ITEMS. 242 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEMS ALREADY VOTED ON IN DISCUSSIONS LISTED.
ALL COMMISSIONER ELLIS, ON PAPER? I'M IN FAVOR OF MOTIONS 4Ä. LET'S BREAK TIUNL 415.
COMMISSIONER SCORE IS BACK IN SESSION.
I'M STARTING WITH ITEM 8. WHICH IS THE COVID-19 UPDATE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MOTIONS ON THIS ITEM.
THE COVID-19 CASES AND POSSIBLE ADMISSIONS CONTINUE TO TREND DOWNWARD. IN HARRIS COUNTY MET THE THRESHOLD IN THE CDC COVID-19 MODEL TO MOVE TO GREEN.
ON 929. THE VIRAL LOAD IS NOW 39 PERCENT COMPARED TO JULY 2020 BUT WHICH IS THE LOWEST LEVEL IT'S BEEN IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
ALTHOUGH WE ARE CURRENTLY AT LOW RISK, WE DO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE WE ARE HEADED FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
THERE LIKELY NEW VARIANCE AND SO, JUST A REMINDER FOR EVERYBODY TO GET THE UPDATED BOOSTER SHOT.
THERE IS A NEW OMICRON. ON THE RIGHT.
Q1.1. WHICH FURTHER HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BOOSTER. THE FLU IS ALSO STARTED CIRCULATE. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO'VE GOT THE FLU AND SO, GET YOUR FLU SHOT AS WELL.
SO, UNLESS DIRECTOR ROBINSON IS ANYTHING TO ADD, I WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 9. NO ACTION ON ITEM 8. ITEM 9 ÃÃSO, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY BEFORE. MY POSITION AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS OPTION ALLOWS STAFF THAT MORE MEETINGS OVERALL AND INCREASES THE EFFICIENCY BY HAVING BUSINESS CORE ITEMS PASS MORE EQFRUENTLY. THIS BEGAN BECAUSE COMMISSIONER GARCIA RAISED THE FACT THAT VENDORS WERE NOT BEING PAID ON TIME. M , THAT WAY WE CAN TEST ITE SOONER. WELL.MEETINGS AS THE COUNTY STAFF TIME REQUIRED TO HOLD IAMEETINGS ESPECLLY THE LONG ONES. THAT'S WHY I'M IN SUPPORT N OF THIS AOVERALL 20 MEETINGS COMPARED TO 2022.
W>>WOULD BE LAND? WEILL STICK WITH THE ONUMBER JUSTICE REGULAR AMOUNTF MEETINGS THAT WE HAD.
IN>>MY PROPOSAL IS OPTION THREE POT WHICH IS A TOTAL 28 MEETINGS CONSISTING OF 18 OUREGULAR MEETINGS AND 10
MEETINGS.CRT >>HERE IS MY RATIONAL.
I DID MENTION IN 84 I HAD THE BRIGHT IDEA OF BLENDING CITY
[01:25:05]
COUNCIL TERMS FROM 2SS YEARS AND ONE OF THE OLD-TIME COUNCIL MEMBERS EXPLAINED TO ME HOW THEY WENT TO THE DATE MEETINGS.THESE TO ME OVER LUNCH ON TUESDAY.
WORK ANYTHING OUT. THEN OPEN MEETINGS LAW PASSED.
THEY DID MEET ON WEDNESDAY AND THESE TO MEET PE[INDISCERNIBLE] THESE TO GO FIND IT.
AND THEN ON MEETINGS CAME ABOUT.
SO THEY TURNED TO THE MEETING AND FULL DAY MEETING AND WEDNESDAY MEETING. I SAID GO BACK.
GOOD. COUNCILMAN OF WEST WATER.
I REMEMBERED THIS STATEMENT OF ENWHAT THE ARTICLE SAID FRESHMA COUNSEL WE WANT TO LGTHEN THE TERM AND SHORT WEEK.
OR THAT REASON, I WOULD THINK STICKING WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF REGULAR COURT MEETINGS ÃÃ UNDERSTANDING THAT I AGREE SO WE CAN PROCESS THE VENDORS. I DON'T WANT ÃÃI DON'T WANT OUR COLLEAGUES, WERE BACK BY THE WAY, WHO TURNED OUT TO BE SOMEBODY GENTLEPERSONS AGREEMENT FOR THAT TO BE A BUSINESS MEETING. BECAUSE THEY COULD POST SOMETHING. ANYWAY, AND TURN THAT INTO MORE THAN IT WILL BE. SO, AT LEAST FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, I WANT TO BE CRITICIZED LOOK, I WAS ON CITY COUNCIL.
IT DID GET TO ONE MEETING A WEEK.
BECAUSE I LEFT. AND THEN THEY SWITCH BACK AT SOME POINT. BUT I WOULD PREFER THE PUBLIC Ã THIS REALLY COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP TWICE A MONTH.
WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME. WHEN I BECAME A COUNTY COMMISSIONER. UNLIKE THE JOBS THAT I'VE HAD IN POLITICS IN THE PAST.Y PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO STICK WITH THE 22 REGULAR BUSINESS MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION.
>>I WOULD LIKE TO STICK WITH MY ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, BUT AS LONG AS COMMISSIONER ELLIS, I THINK HE WAS VERY GOOD POINT.
I WOULD NOT SUPPORT MY ORIGINAL PROPOSAL IF WE GO FROM OPTION THREE. IF IN FACT ANYONE COULD ADD ITEMS. THIS TO THE MEETINGS.
BECAUSE THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.
THAT IDEA IS TO MEET MORE FREQUENTLY SO WE CAN PASS THAT BUSINESS OF THE COURT MORE QUICKLY WITHOUT REQUIRING ALL
THAT TIME FROM THE STAFF. >>JUDGE, THE AGENDA IS SET BY THE COURT AND SO, IF YOU RESTRICT IT TO BUSINESS AND SPECIFIC ITEMS, THAT'S WHAT IT'S RESTRICTED TO.
>>HOW WE RESTRICT IT? SO, HOW DOES THE LAW WORK NOW? IN TERMS OF WHO CAN CALL SPECIAL MEETING? COULD TWO COMMISSIONERS CALL A SPECIAL MEETING?
>>THREE. THREE THREE COMMISSIONERS COULD CALL. THEY COULD CALL A MEETING.
IF THEY WANTED TO DO THAT. IN TERMS OF WHAT CAN BE PLACED
ON THE AGENDA ÃDESPERATE >>YOU COULD CALL ANY MEETING.
NOT JUST A BUSINESS SUPPORT MEETING.
WE CAN CALL ANY MEETING. >>BUT IF WE'RE GONNA AT 18 AND 10 BUSINESS COURT MEETINGS, HOW DO WE ÃÃÃÃCAN WE SAY THAT THESE ARE THE MUNICIPAL COURT MEETINGS? IF NOT, DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING BUSINESS COURT MEETING COULD WE OUGHT TO JUST STICK WITH THE PLAN THAT WE GOT.
>>SIMILAR TO THE WAY THAT WE SET THE COURT RULES THAT WE ESTABLISH THE COURT RULES. THESE ARE THE GUIDELINES THAT THE COURTS ARE GONNA RUN ON. HE GENERAL RULE IS THAT ANYTIME THE REVIEW AGREE ON SOMETHING, YOU COULD DO ANYTHING EFFECTIVELY AND DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.
BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE SAID IF YOU ESTABLISH A RULE THAT ESTABLISHES BUSINESS COURT MEETINGS COULD ONLY OCCUR FAIN THIS SHION AND ONLY THE SPECIFIC BEITEMS CAN PLACED UNDER ÃÃAS LONG AS TYOU CONTINUEO ABIDE BY THAT, DOESN'T THMATTER WITH E OTHER TWO ARE.
>>CAN YOU GUYS MOTION FOR US SO WE CAN PUT ON
THE DGTABLE? >>JUE, THAT WAS MY INTENT ON QUITTING THESE BUSINESS E COURT JUSTICBUSINESS COURT MEETINGS. Y AND THAT'S THE ONLREASON I
WOULD SUPPORT IT. >>BUT IT IS WHAT I SAID, GENTLEPERSONS AGREEMENT.IS IFTHAT CORRECT?
>> WE MAKE A MOTION IN THE SUN TH
>>DATE, TERRIFIC AT IS RATE. THIS IS THE CORE POLICY THAT ONLY STPAYMENTS OR ANY OTHER ADMINIRATIVE ITEMS GO ON IN THE BUSINESS CORE AGENDA ÃÃNO ONE PREPARING THE AGENDA POAT.
THE COURT CAN CHANGE THE LICY, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD ACCEPT DID THAT. THE POLICY EXISTS, WE WOULD NOT
ALLOW THINGS. >>IF WE TAKE A VOTE, IT WOULD BE LIKE COURT ACTION OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
IN FACT, JOHN JUST HAD A GOOD SUGGESTION JUDGE.
THAT IF WE COULD DO IF YOU WOULD NOT MIND, WE COULD BRING IT BACK AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING COURT POLICIES.
SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THAT CODIFIED.
SO, THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. >>SO, WHEN YOU GUYS WORK ON THIS WHILE WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE AGENDA SO THAT WE CAN WE CAN GET IT DONE TODAY. AND IF YOU DON'T GET AROUND TO IT, THAT'S FINE. IT'S JUST ÃÃ
>>AND I SAID, I'LL GO WITH YOU. I'LL JUST VOTE ON IT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR ON THAT.
BUT IT'S OKAY. SO, THE TWO OF YOU VOTE TO REDUCE THE MEETINGS, THAT'S FINE.
I WOULD BE GLAD TO NOT BE HERE. >>OKAY.
[01:30:11]
SO THE NEXT ÃTHIS WEEKEND? TO THE ITEM.NUMBER NINE. THE NEXT IS ITEM EXCEEDS BECOME BIGGER? TO ITEM 22.
GOODNESS, ITEM NINE. THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 22.
ITEM 22 IS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TAX RATES.
I WILL OPEN IT UP TO YOU COLLEAGUES.
>>MANDEWO NOW OR DO IT LATER? DO IT NOW?
>>OKAY. >>SO, I THINK IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO JUST THINK THE ONLY ONE THAT'S JUST MY GUESS IS WHATCOM MIGHT BE SOME DISAGREEMENT.
WOULD BE ON THE RIGHT FOR HER SPELL.NSTEAD OF CALLING OUT THE RATES OF THE .17.16 5.16 THREE.
I MIGHT JUST WALK TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
IF I MAY. THE INITIAL RATE THAT THE BUDGET OFFICE RECOMMENDED CALL FOR 964 MILLION.
IS THAT CORRECT? >>IT'S 157 MILLION.
>>IN WHICH WAS IT? THROUGH THE OPERATION SIDE.
957.8 MILLION. >>AND THEN THE ÃÃTHAT'S JUST THAT WAS THE RATE THAT WE OPERATE ON.
WHEN I CAME BEFORE US. CORRECT?
>>THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL JUSTICE THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL.
>>AND IN THE CAGLE PROPOSAL WAS FOR HOW MUCH?
SEPARATE 867 MILLION. SO, THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL.
>>WE ARE ON THE NUMBERS, OKAY. >>MIGHT BE HELPFUL JUST WALK THERE.SO NO NEW REVENUE RATE FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS
$45 MILLION DEFICIT DOCTOR PARSA HAD WAS HAS BROUGHT FORWARD IS TO BREAK EVEN AND DOCTOR PARSA IS ON OR SOMEONE FROM HIS STAFF CORRECT ME, 875 MILLION COULD
>>OKAY. SO, THAT ESSENTIALLY WOULD BE
COMMISSIONER CAGLE'S PROPOSAL? >>WITHIN A CERTAIN MARGIN.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS HIS INTENT. THE MAP MIGHT'VE BEEN A LITTLE THIS IS COMMISSIONER GARCIA PROPOSAL?
>>COMMISSIONER GARCIA'S PROPOSAL WAS 905 MILLION.
>>WHICH GIVES HIM 35 ABOUT A $35 MILLION POSITIVE MARGIN?
>>ABOUT ÃÃ30 MILLION COULD >>MY NUMBERS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT ÃÃABOUT A ONE PERCENT MARGIN.
AND THEN THE HARRISVILLE PROPOSAL WAS FOR?
>>ONE 925 TO THE ONE FROM YESTERDAY LIBEEVE WAS 925
MILLION. >>OF 40 MILLION PODESIT.
>>WHICH WOULD BE E THJUSTICE SARCOMA THAT D WOULBE THE 15 MILLION PER THAT WOULD BE A TWO PERCENT MARGIN

IFHERE IS SOME REASON TO AT THINK TH WE'VE GOT A GNSMOKE SIAL OR OF OUR COLLEAGUES ATARE NEGOTIING BY TWEET ÃÃFORM WILL PUT OUT A TWEET AND MOSITE I'M RE APT TO SHOW UP IF YOU LET THEM HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 35 MILLION 50 MILLION 82 MILLION G. JUSTICE NOTHIN OR IF YOU GO WITH THE NO NEW H REVENUE, WILL GO WITEVANOTHER NO NEW RENUE BID WHICH IS $145 MILLION NEGATIVE FOR BI
>>I JUST DON'T WANT JUSTICE PF ME, TO BE IN AOSITION WHERE WE ARE KIND OF NEGOTIATING AGAINST MYSELF.
SO, EITHER WE A COULD FORCE IT VOTE.
I COULD LIVE WITH LOOK, I'LL LEEVEN GO DOWN TO THE SO-CALD HAPPINESS CALL HARRIS HEALTH PROPOSAL.
KEBUT AT LEAST THEY COULD TA INTO I ACCOUNT OF INFLATION.
MEAN, THEY CANNOT KEEP DOING NGEVERYTHING THAT THEY ARE DOI NOW AND TRY TO DO SOMES OF THE ADDITIONAL THINGTHAT HE TALKED ABOUT. I MIGHT PRSAY THE AMOUNT THAT Y OPOSE WOULD HAVE GIVEN US IS AN ACCOUNTING RATE THE LARGEST
[01:35:01]
AND MOST TAX RATE 30 YEARS? >>1990 TIS THE LAST TIME THE COUNTYEST IS THE OVERALL COUNTY RED WITH IT.
>>I GUESS YOU DID NOT CACKLE AT WHAT WOULD BE WITH THEOS GARCIA
AND HARRIS HEALTH PROPAL. >>MAKES HIS OWN OF >>RECORDS TH FAR BACK. SO, THERE'S SOME REASON FOR IT. I MEAN, THEY PUT OUT A TWEET AND OUSAY TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL COME Y GO WITH THE $50 B MILLION. SO THEY CAN ÃTHE VESUN IS JUST NEWS TO ME. I' JUST NEVER BEEN IN THAT POSITION WHERE OF NEGOTIATING AGAINST MYSELF, YOU KNOW?
>>WELL, COMMISSIONER, THAT'S THE REASON I HAD TO USE THE TERM FINAL OFFER, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M OFFERING.
AND SO ÃÃI ASSUMED. >>IS STILL LIVE AT THE HARRIS Ã ÃIF FOR SOME REASON I SENT Y'ALL DID THE LOWEST TAX RATE IN 30 YEARS. SO, WE COULD SAY IT'S THE LOWEST RATE ITIN 30 YEARS. WE DON'T POINT OUT ÃÃ'S GOING TO BE ÃÃWE CAN SERVICE YOU GUYS.
AT LEAST 30 YEARS TOO. WE DON'T QUITE POINT THAT.
BECAUSE EVERYBODY LIKES WTO SA LOWER.
YOU KNOW?E TALK ABOUTHAT WAS THE COST OF LOWERING IT? OULD YOU LIVE WITH THE SO-CALLED HARRIS HEALTH PROPOSAL? I COULD LIVE WITH THAT, BUT
NOT, WE CAN JUST VOTE ON IT. >>YOU KNOW? I THINK DOCTOR PARSA COULD HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR WHAT THE NEEDS OF HIS ORGANIZATION ARE IN ORDER TO SAVE LIVES.
AND SO, I WOULD LIKE TO STAY AS CLOSE TO THE AS POSSIBLE.
>>SO, IS THAT THE .116 JUSTICE HAVEN'T OH SHEEP IT IS THAT THE
6 553 OR WHAT IS THAT? >>I THINK MOST HELPFUL TO BE TO STICK TO THE REVENUE NUMBER. THE TAX ASSESSMENT COLLECTOR Ã Ã [INDISCERNIBLE]
>>IS THAT THE 925 OF THE 50? >>THE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED IS
THE 957 MILLION. >>I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE WE RATES AND EMOTIONS ARE WITH THE RATES.
[INDISCERNIBLE] >>THE PURPOSES OF DISCUSSION.
>>GOT IT. >>OUR GREAT ÃÃTHE RATE THAT THE MAJORITY THAT THE ORIGINAL PROPOSED WHERE WE HAD THE HEARINGS FOR WAS AT THE REVENUE NUMBER FOR THE IT HURTS WAS 900 7 MILLION. IT WAS SLIGHTLY UNDER VIR FOR THE GENERAL FUND. AND WAS FOR THE FLOOD CONTROL AND THEN THE PORT DISTRICT, WHICH IS JUST THAT.
>>THAT'S WHEN WERE YOU ABLE TO SAY BROADLY.
IT'S LOWEST TAX RATE? >>IS ONE PERCENT TAX RATE TAX CUT FROM LAST YEAR AND IT'S THE LOWEST TAX RATE SINCE 1990.
>>CAN LIVE WITH THAT? >>SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT I'M HEARING. THERE'S THE PROPOSAL FROM OCTOBER 11? THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL? AND THEN THERE IS LOCAL IN THE PRESENT TWO PROPOSAL PER COMMISSIONER GARCIA? AND THEN THERE IS THE THE PRECINCT FOR PROPOSAL, WHICH WE CALL THE MEETING FOR AND HE WOULD INVITE US TO THE PARTY AND THEN COME.
THE ME SAY DOCTOR PROPOSAL ÃÃ RETARDED BUT YESTERDAY JUST AS SHE SAID HE'S FOR A DEPOSITION OF PROPOSAL?
IS THAT WAS ON THE TABLE? >>THAT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
NUMBER. >>UNDERSTAND WE CANNOT S AGREE ANYTHING. ONE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND I WHICH PROPOSALS COMMISSIONER ELLIS SUGGESTING?
>>I'M PROPOSING A BUDGET MANAGEMENT.
>>THE OCTOBER 11? NOT THE FORCE OF PROPOSAL? TO BE CLEAR, DOCTOR PARSA ACTUALLY WANTED MORE THAN WHAT THE OCTOBER 11 PROPOSAL ÃÃ THEY PUSHED HIM DOWN.
I'M ASSUMING RYDOCTOR PARSA ÃÃ HE ÃÃDOCTOR PARSA WAS TING TO CREATE A DEAL. HE'S TRYING TO HELP US FIND A CONSENSUS. SO, HE WAS NEGOTIATING AGAINST
TOHIMSELF AS WELL.>>IF CAGLE'S NUMBER AND YOUR TIP FIND A DEAL ÃÃOR THIS OTHER NUMBER THAT HE CAME UP WITH TO FIND THE DEAL ÃÃSUMMARY CAN SAY TO ME YOU'VE GOT A DEAL FORM SAYING HEY, LEANING THAT WAY, BUT IF IT'S JUST SITTING HERE FIGURING OUT YOU KNOW, Y'ALL NEVER BEEN THERE, BUT I WILL USE THAT NOW. YOU KNOW ME? EVEN WHEN YOU GO TO FAMILY COURT.
YOU HAVE SOME IDEA. WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
RIGHT? UNDER THE WORST OF CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU HAVE A DISCUSSION.
HE TALKED TO THE EMISSARY. >>THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS IF THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, THERE WILL G.NOT BE A DEAL.
THEY ARE GOING TO FIND SOMETHINHEY'RE GOING TO SAY BECAUSE YOU WERE BLUE TIE AND BLUE MEANS DEMOCRATS, WE ARE NOT COMING. YOU KNOW? BECAUSE THE ROAD FINAL OFFER. BECAUSE YOU POSTED ACTION ON THE AGENDA. BECAUSE IT'S RAINING TODAY.
SO, I NDAGREE. THEY ARE WASTING ÃÃTHEY ARE DEFEING THE COMMUNITY AND DISRESPECTING THE ATCOMMUNITY A WASTING EVERYBODY'S TIME. SO, TH'S JUSTICE I'M HOPING IT WILL HAVE ABOUT OF CONSCIENCE BETWEEN NOW AND THE
[01:40:01]
25TH JUSTICE I'M STILL WAITING COMMISSIONER'S CABLE AND RAMSEY WILL HAVE THE ONE. I'M WAITING BEFORE WE ADJOURN THIS MEETING THAT WE CAN COME BACK TO THIS.IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT ÃÃTELL US.
YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, CALL ME.
BECAUSE YOU CANNOT THEN TURN AROUND AND SAY WELL, THE JUSTICE WHATEVER WE PUT, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE A HAPPEN, IF YOU WANTED TO DEFUND THE HOSPITALS, YOU JUST GONNA MAKE UP SOME EXCUSE. WITH IT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
>>WAS WITH YOU ON THIS ÃÃIF THEY CALL BEFORE WE FINISHED A MEETING OR TEXT JUST AS WE CAN COME BACK AND CHANGE IT.
RIGHT? SO, FOR MY VENT, WHICH IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO WAIT TO GET MORE TIME, FROM MY VANTAGE POINT ÃÃ LOOK, I WANT TO ADMIT THAT I'M NOT THINKING THROUGH I LOOK AT MY CONSTITUENTS AS WELL. AND I ALREADY WILL HAVE TO SAY HEY, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD TALKING POINTS.
AND SAY IT'S LOWEST RATE SINCE 1990.
THAT'S WHAT I QUOTED TO PUT IT AT 957.
GOT ME? YOU KNOW? I WILL GO DO THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, FOR ME TO GO SAY I WANT TO PUT IT AT 925 OR 913 487 ÃTHERE'S ANY LOWER NUMBER JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT JUSTIC YOU KNOW? I JUST DON'TKNOW ÃÃAND THEN IN THIS BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, ON THE OTHER SIDE DOES T THIS EVEN ONCE MY HERE, THEY WILL BE THE FIRSONES TO SAY COMMISSIONER ELLIS VOTED TO REDUCE EXPENDITURES ON HEALTH CARE FOR THIS AMOUNT.
THEY'RE GOING TO SAY THIS MANY HOSPITAL BEDS.
THIS IS HOW THIS BUSINESS WORKS.
SO AT LEAST I WANT TO SAY THAT THE BUDGET OFFICE RECOMMENDED IT. BASED ON THEIR BEST ANALYSIS OF WHAT THEY THOUGHT THAT I CALL YOU UP BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE GONE BY THEN. I SAY WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR. IF I SEE HIM, AND MAKE SURE LET HIM KNOW THAT IS WRONG. SO COME OUT LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE GO WITH THE 957. THE NUMBER.
964 EARLY. 957 COULD WHATEVER JUSTICE WAS THE TAX RATE FOR THE MOTION? >.63030.
THE OPERATION NUMBER IS.16158. AND THEN FOR AN OVERALL
HOSPITAL DISTRICT RATE OF 1631. >>THIS THE HARRIS COUNTY?
>>WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOSPITAL DISTRICT?OSPITAL DISTRICT.
>>IT'S 1.3711? >>THAT'S CORRECT.
>>SORRY. >>LOOKING AT THE WRONG WRONG Ã ÃYES, IT'S 1.371. OPERATION AND THEN .20153 OVERALL HOSPITAL DISTRICT RATE OF THE 617253.
>>TO MAKE THIS UP, THESE ARE THE RIGHTS POSTED ON THE
AGENDA? >>I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION THAT.
FOR THAT ONE. YOU CAN POST THE SAME IT'S FOR THE 25TH. IN THE YOU'VE GOT ONE HEARING
PORT SECOND.>>SO. >>THE MOTION IS TO REPOST THE SAME RATES ON THE 25TH, CORRECT? THEN, DO A DIFFERENT MOTION AND HOW MANY OR WHATEVER?
WHAT TIMES? >>COMMISSIONER ELLIS, MAKE A MOTION TO POST THE SAME RATES IN THE AGENDA TODAY ON THE 25TH OF OCTOBER. THERE IS A SECOND BUT COMMISSIONER GARCIA. ALL IN FAVOR?
WHAT'S I PICKED >>UP IN FAVOR IN ANY POST MOTION CARRIED 3Ä.
OW COLLEAGUES, ONE MEETING OR TWO MEETINGS OR WHAT ARE YOU
AND WHICH ONES COMMISSIONER GARCIA?
>>THE FIRST MEETING WOULD BE THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THE
FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT. >>OKAY.
ON THE SAME DAY? >>ON THE SAME DAY.>IS THINKING FOR SECOND. I CERTAINLY CANNOT SAY I OBJECT ON THE MEETING. [LAUGHTER]
[INDISCERNIBLE] >>SO, IT WOULD BE ONE FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT.
>>YES. >>THAT ONE WOULD BE ÃÃSO, WHAT I HAVE HERE AND HANG ON, LET ME MAKE SURE I'M ON THE RIGHT SPOT. USUALLY WE DO MEETINGS AT 10 AM. WE WERE TO HAVE ONE HEARING FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT ÃÃI WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE DO THAT ALONG WITH THE REGULAR AGENDA.
AND SO, WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW FOR THE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE BUSINESS OF THE COURT.
WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS ON ÃÃ ON THE 25TH THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING TO DISCUSS ÃÃ CLOSE CAPTIONS WILL RETURN SHORTLY.
[01:46:26]
>>TO VOTE ON THE TAX RATE. THE CUTS FOR HARRIS COUNTY AND KEYPORT.

PM AS WELL. DOES THAT WORK? >>JUST TO CLARIFY, THE PUBLIC
HEARINGS GO WITH ADOPTION WOULD BE INCLUDED IN YOUR MOTION? >>CORRECT.
>>OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE MOTION.
>>DO WE NEED TO STATE THE RIGHT TO BE PROPOSED ON THE HARRIS COUNTY RATE?
>>NO, BECAUSE RUDY SAID THAT THEY WERE TO BE THE SAME RATES THAT THEY PROPOSED FOR YOU
TODAY. >>IS THIS CONSIDERED A SECOND MOTION ON 22?
>>YES, IT'S A DIFFERENT MOTION. >>WE ADDED DESIGN FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING OR JUST WASTED IT IN THE BEGINNING. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO REPEAT THE MOTION JUST FOR CLARITY?
>>MOTION WILL BE ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL MAKE IT. THE MOTION WILL BE THAT THERE BE A SPECIAL MEETING ON OCTOBER 25 AT 10 AM TO VOTE ON THE TAX RATE CUTS FOR HARRIS COUNTY AND THE PORT. AND THAT THE RELEVANT PUBLIC HEARING BE SCHEDULED AS WELL AT THAT TIME. THAT THERE BE A SPECIAL MEETING ON OCTOBER 25 AT 2 PM TO VOTE ON THE TAX RATE CUTS FOR THE HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT AND HARRIS HALL.
AND THAT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT ALSO BE SCHEDULED AT THE TIME.
AND THAT THE REGULAR COURT MEETING TAKE PLACE AT 2 PM ON OCTOBER 25.
>>I SECOND THAT MOTION. WANT TO MAKE IT? COMMISSIONER GARCIA MAKES THE
MOTION AND ELLIS HAS A SECOND. ON PAPER? >>I, I.
>>I. >>ANY OPPOSED? >>JUST FOR CLARITY.
I DO WANT TO HEAR THE TAX RATE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PROPOSE FOR HARRIS COUNTY.
I NOTE IN THE BACK. I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER FOR ME TO
>>COMMISSIONER GARCIA, THE WEIGHT WOULD BE ÃJUST THE TOTAL RATE OR THE TEST TEST
TEST HARRIS TO? >>JUST FOR HARRIS COUNTY, OKAY. THE RATE JUST FOR HARRIS COUNTY WOULD BE, AS I HAVE A, WOULD BE .36 030. THE M AND O IS 3.17602.
AND THE DEBT IS 4.20608. THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT WOULD BE A DEATH RATE OF 01012 AND A RATE OF 01201263013475. BUT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. AT THAT RATE OF 01153 AND EVERY POINT OF 17100 PER TOTAL RATE POINT 17253. THE COMBINED OVERALL RATE ÃÃ THAT WOULD BE 1.675. THE REV 31.25. TOTAL.57500.
>>LIKE A JUDGE. I DO WANT TO PROPOSE IS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT WE CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF THE HARRIS COUNTY RATE THAT I HAD PROPOSED.
IN MIND ÃJUST MIGHT HELP THEM COME TO THE TABLE SO THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] LOWER THE REVENUE RATE. THAT MIGHT BE WHAT'S IN THE BACK.
WHAT'S IN THE. >>.04019 PER DEBT. 1.763 AND.13578.

AND GIVE US MOMENT ON THE COMBINED OVERALL TOTAL. AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOUWANT ME TO READ AND WRITE DOWN, THREE FROM RATES AND WHAT THEY ARE.
>>WHILE HE'S LOOKING, MR. REYNOLDS. HE SEES THE NOTES THAT I HAVE THE HAVE FOR HERSELF. 1.7253 WOULD GENERATE 964. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBER. I DON'T KNOW IF S I HAVE HERE I CORRECT.
YOU SAID IT WA957. >>I THINK THE DISTINCTION IS THE OVERALL [INDISCERNIBLE] BUT, I BELIEVE WHAT WE ARE DOING IS IT'S THE AS PROPOSED RATES FOR FLOOD .CONTROL. THE POOR AND THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IN THE ÃÃTHE SAME MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION RATE FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND A SLIGHTLY LOWER THAT RATE FOR THE GENERAL FUND. WE WILL GET YOU THAT FINAL
NUMBER. >>JUST BECAUSE I COULD SEE THIS BEING ANOTHER POINT OF OBFUSCATION. AS FAR AS REVENUE ÃÃIT'S THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE FOR HARRIS COUNTY. IT'S SIMPLY THAT COMMISSIONER GARCIA, NOT NECESSARILY REVENUE, BUT OPERATINGFUNDING FOR THE ÃÃFOR HARRIS COUNTY. HE'S BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
CAN YOU WALK THROUGH FOR ANYBODY WHO'S WATCHING? >>SURE.>THIS IS AN ACTION THE COURT DID LAST YEAR, WHICH IS WHAT ARE THE ELIGIBLE USES FOR MOBILITY FUNDS IS THE PAYMENT. THE ROAD RELATED DEBT. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE FELT COMFORTABLE. I STATED THAT THE COUNTY HAS PAID ITS DEBT ON ITS ROAD BONDS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE MINIMUM WAS. AND SO, WHAT IT'S DOING ÃÃTHE DEBT RATE IS CALCULATED BY THE D OVERALL AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT W EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDEBY THE ACCESSIBLE BASE. WHAT THIS DOES IS IT BASICALLY SUBTRACTS 14 MILLION FROM THE AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT WE EXPECT TO PAY. AND SO COMMIT LOWERS THE
OVERALL RATE. >>AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE OCTOBER 11 PROPOSAL HAD A TOTAL
[01:55:03]
RATE FOR HARRIS COUNTY.36030. COMMISSIONER CAGLE WANTED.35781.WHICH IS WHAT COMMISSIONER? GARCIA IS PROPOSING. IT'S THE EXACT SAME NUMBER.
.35781. >>THAT IS CORRECT. >>THE OF THE SAME AMOUNT OPERATING A.THOSE ARE THE FACTS. OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR FOR THE RECORD BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW THESE GUYS OPERATE. HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING ON THE NUMBERS?HI OKAY, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO TAKE A BREAK WLE THEY FIGURED OUT BUT LET'S KEEP GOING ON TH OTHER ITEMS. SO, HOLD ON THATMOTION WHILE WE GET THE NUMBERS.
OKAY SO, ITEM 25 ÃTHIS COMMISSIONER ELSE LIKE THAT ITEM.
DISTURB YOU ALL? DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK THERE? WOULD HAVE TO ASK MR.
REYNOLDS. >>I THINK WE'RE GOOD. HERE'S MY CONCERN ON THIS ONE.
I WANT TO GET A BREAKDOWN ON HOW MUCH MONEY WE SAVE ÃÃI WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME EQUITY ANALYSIS TO KNOW WHO THESE RETIREES ARE. HERE'S MY CONCERN.
I WANT OUR RETIREES TO FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE BLAMING THEM BECAUSE OUR COLLEAGUES DIDN'T SHOW UP. I ASSUME THIS IS COMING ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL OF NO NEW REVENUE RATE. I JUST KNOW THE RISING COST OF M,LIVING IN THE RISING COST OF HEALTHCARE IS A PROBLE BUT FOR RETIREES IN PARTICULAR, WHO I ASSUME WILL PROBABLY OVERWHELMINGLY THEM AND I HOPE MINORITY. BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONLY JOBS THAT THEY COULD GET. AND I'M TALKING ABOUT FOLKS THAT WILL REPRESENT AS JESSE JACKSON SAID, WILL CATCH THE EARLY BUS. WE DON'T SEE THEM.
YOU GOT ME? THE KIND OF GET TO WORK BEFORE MOST OF US GET OUT THERE AND I'M VERY SENSITIVE TO TRY AND SHIFT MORE COSTS ON THIS RETIREES CORE WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT. BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET A JOB ANYWHERE ELSE DURING THAT ERA. SO, THAT'S MY CONCERN. WHO ARE THEY?
IN WHICH MONEY IS THIS? AND WHY WOULD WE DO IT? >>UNDERSTOOD.
TO GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW AND THEN I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DIRECTOR CARES ALL WHO WILL HAVE MORE OF THE IN-DEPTH. ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE , DESTINATI I SAID THIS BEFORE.
OUR HEALTHCARETHE COST OF OUR HEALTHCARE IS UNSUSTAINABLE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WE ARE IN.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE REVENUE CAPS, MINIMUM SPENDING ON PUBLIC SAFETY, WE COULD NOT BE TESTED AS WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN A 20 PERCENT INCREASE IN HEALTHCARE PREMIUMS EVERY YEAR. AND THAT'S THE ENVIRONMENT WE ARE IN.
WITH THE TAX RATE, I WOULD'VE FELT A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE SAY THIS IS OUR LAST YEAR.
IN THE CURRENT DISTANCE UNDER THE CURRENT CONTRACT. THE COUNTY CAN SUSTAIN IT IS TIME SOURCES MAKE A PAYMENT. IT DID FEEL STRONGLY AND MADE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR IN THE I DIRECTED THE HR DIRECTOR TO PUT TOGETHER OPTIONS.
THE WRITTEN PUT OPTIONS ON THE TABLE. D BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE SECURITY. WEO NOT HAVE NEW REVENUE TO SUSTAIN THIS JUST INCREDIBLE INCREASES IN HEALTHCARE COSTS. SHANE IS GOING TO PRESENT ARE SOME OPTIONS.
OF WHAT OUR REINTENT IS AN R-VALUE IS.E WANT TO MAKE SU THAT WE KEEP PRICES THE SAME FOR THE FOLKS USING THE BASIC PLAN. BUT WE WERE PUSHING FOLKS TOWARDS MORE OUR PREFERRED DRUGS. WE WERE PUSHING FOLKS TO THE BASIC PLAN BECAUSE MORE EXPENSIVE PLAN IS NOT JUST THE EMPLOYEE MORE MONEY, BUT IT
COSTS US MORE MONEY AS A COUNTY. >>AND THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE
IMPACTED ARE PROBABLY THE RETIREES. >>THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.
>>ALL RIGHT. >>ALL OF OUR ÃJUST THAT YOU NEED TO HARRIS COUNTY.
MOST JURISDICTIONS SEPARATE THEIR PRE-65 THE POST 65 AND THEIR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES.
HARRIS COUNTY HAS THEM ALL IN THE SAME PLANS. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE. ABOUT WAYS THAT WE CAN STILL MAINTAIN THE SAME PURCHASING POWER, THE SAME QUALITY OF CARE, BUT THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PLANS AND IT DOES SAVE SOME
MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. >>SO, IS MY CONCERN. LOOK, I WOULD PREFER TO GO TAKE THIS MONEY OUT OF THEIR TWO BUDGETS BY THE WAY. AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET ON THEIR BACKS. AND COUNTY EMPLOYEES. WHO BY THE WAY, ARE THE BROADER PULLED EMPLOYEES AND I COULD PAY RAISE. MOST PROPOSALS CAME APPEAR TAKING UP CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AND I DON'T WANT THOSE PEOPLE TO FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT
[02:00:03]
CARED ABOUT. THE REASON WE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ONTO PEOPLE HAS BEEN PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS. THE RETIREMENT PLAN AND ALSO HEALTH BENEFITS.IT IS FOR ME, AND THE SUN I WOULD NOT VOTE NO ONE. >>OWNER IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO BRING THIS BACK. I AGREE COMMISSIONER AMOUNT ELSE.
IF THEY GRANTED. I HAVE RESERVATIONS AS WELL. ON IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO BRING IT BACK AT THE NEXT COURT. BECAUSE THEY WILL KNOW SOMETHING ELSE IS ON THE LINE.
HEALTHCARE PLANS OF THE EMPLOYEES. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SHED LIGHT ON THE REAL-LIFE IMPLICATIONS OF THE POLITICAL THEATRICS.
>>OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FOR THE COURT TO PASS THE RATES AS IS WITHOUT ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES. AND WE WOULD COME BACK WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHERE WE
WOULD FIND THE OPPOSITES OF THE YEAR. >>NOT TALKING BUT THE TAX RATES RIGHT NOW.>THE EMPLOYEE, SORRY, THE PREMIUM RATES. SO WHAT SHANE IS GOING TO SHOW
OUR OPTIONS TO CHANGE MEDICAL CLAIMS. >>WHAT CAN WE DO IT NEXT TIME?
IS COMMISSIONER æ >>THE TIMELINESS AND GETTING THE RATES PAID >SO, THEY WILL COME NEXT TIME THAT WE CAN DO WHAT YOU SAID OR THAT'S JUST ME, I JUST æ
>>ON MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND. I GET IS A TIMETABLE, BUT HOW DO WE DEFER ACTION ON THIS ITEM? THIS IS JUST AS PART OF THE PIT SETTING THE RATES IS ONE THING, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DISH I'M ASSUMING THEY DON'T COME NEXT TIME.
I WANT TO SEE HOW THEY VOTE. >>USING THE WORD GREAT, WHICH IS CONFUSING.
PUT ANOTHER WORD IN IT. >>HEALTHCARE PLAN IN THE LOSS FOR THIS PLANT.
WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT THERE ARE NOT BOATS TO MAKE CHANGES. SO, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO PASS THE PLANS AND COST OF THOSE PLANS AS IS. AND DIRECT OH AND BE TO DEVELOP OPTIONS FOR WHAT THOSE OFFSETS ARE. BECAUSE WE ARE GOING ÃTHIS
WE'RE GOING TO BE SHORT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. >>WE CAN COME BACK TO US.
>>WE DO HAVE TO VOTE ON THE PLANTS TODAY. >>WE CANNOT DELAY THAT.
>>THAT IS CORRECT. >>I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET LOCKED ON THIS.
IF I SUGGEST VOTING ON THE PLANS, WALK ME THROUGH THIS. WHAT THAT MEANS AS OPPOSED TO
HAVING TO REDUCE BENEFITS. >>IF WE PASSED THE PLANS AS IS WITH NO OTHER ACTION ÃÃTHE HEALTH RESERVE WOULD BE SHORT. SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $13 MILLION.
>>THIS CHANGE WOULD'VE SAVED US, FORGIVE ME, IT WOULD'VE BEEN SOMEWHERE MORE IN THE MIDDLE. I WANT TO SAY SOME ARE FOREIGN HALF TO 5 MILLION.
>>JUST THIS ONE CHANGED WILL SAVE US ABOUT 4 MILLION? >>THERE IS A SUITE OF CHANGES
THAT AMOUNTED TO FOREIGN HALF TO 5 MILLION. >>IF WE ADOPT PLANS TODAY SINCE YOU SAID WE ARE ON A DEADLINE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHANGES ARE.
WE'RE JUST SAYING WE'RE GOING TO ADOPT THESE PLANS. >>THEY MIGHT BE THE EXACT SAME
AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR. IN THE SUN >>IS THAT THE CASE, EVEN WITH THE NEW REVENUE RATE? THAT THE PLANT WOULD STAY THE SAME?
>>YES. >>IT WOULD BE A SHORTFALL. >>WE DID NOT HAVE THE INTENTION OF BRINGING OPTIONS. THESE ARE ALL CHANGES NECESSITATED DURING THAT YEAR.
WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN POSITIONS TO PEOPLE. LAST FEW YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A SMALL SURPLUS AND I FELT COMFORTABLE SAYING LET'S WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, WE MOVE THE PLAN HERE. WE REBID OUR CONTRACTS AND WE WOULD JUST MANAGE AROUND IT.
WITH NO NEW REVENUE, EVERYBODY IS EATING THAT INCREASE AND THAT OVERALL AMOUNT THAT THE COUNTY DEPARTMENTS ARE CONTRIBUTING AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE HEALTH FUND, A SECOND
COVER THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF EXPENSES. >>I THINK I GET IT.
WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLANS. AND WE WILL BE SHORTFALL?
>>AND AT SOME POINT WE'RE GONNA EITHER HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES OR COME UP WITH RENDITIONS OF THE MONEY. I FOR ONE WILL ARGUE THE SAME EQUITY LINES INSIDE THAT THERE.
OUR NEW COLLEGE WILL HEAR AND WHAT OLD COLLEAGUES WILL HEAR. WHEN IT COMES TO MY BOAT, THE ONES WHO ARE NOT HERE, I'M BEEN HAVE SOME IDEAS AND HOW TO MAKE A $13 MILLION.
>>I WILL SECOND. >>WITH THE MOTION, WE ARE NOT ADOPTING THIS JUSTICE WHAT IS
THE MOTION TO BE? >>WHAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND JUDGE, AT LEAST I WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS TO ADOPT JUSTICE ADOPT PART OF THE SPIRIT WHICH WOULD BE TO ÃÃI STILL TO GET
MAKES SENSE TO MOVE THE PLAN HERE TO THE CALENDAR YEAR. >>WAS THE MOTION?
>>I THINK SHANE, CORRECTLY. AS IT WOULD BE PARTS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR.
IT'S CHANGING THE PLAN YOUR TWO HEALTHY ACTIONS AND MEDICAL PLAN.
[02:05:01]
>>I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE ÃÃ MODIFYING THE PLANE SAID THAT THERE'S A CHARGE FOR ON-SITE WELLNESS CLINIC. PARTS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR. BUT NOT THE THIS DISH THE OTHER
PLANES THAT CHANGED THAT MR. RON WAS MENTIONING. >>ANY CHANGE IN BENEFITS.
I WILL MAKE SURE THAT UNCHANGING BENEFITS, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ACTION AND FIND
OUT LATER. >>IT'S JUST ÃJUST DID NOT CHANGE THE PREMIUMS THAT WE ARE CHARGING OUR EMPLOYEES AND AND TAUGHT RETIREES.E MAKE THE MOTION NOT TO APPROVE THE ANY
CHANGES TO THE PLAN. THE REDUCTION IN BENEFITS. >>SO SHANE, JUST TO GO THROUGH AND KEPT ADMINISTRATOR AND DIRECTOR, JUST TO GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE, WE WOULD NOT BE ADOPTING ITEM NUMBER ONE. THAT'S DONE. ITEM 2, CHANGE THE BENEFITS PLAN YOUR TWO CALENDAR YEAR EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1. THAT IS SUFFIX PLANETOID.
STILL LINE UP WITH OUR BUDGET CYCLE. ITEM 3 CONTAINS THE WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR HEALTHY ACTIONS TO A MONETARY BASED PROGRAM. EFFECTIVE 2022 COULD WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN SHANE? >>SO, WE KNOW AS DANIEL ALLUDED TO THAT WE ARE PUTTING WHEN OUT FOR CONTRACT RFP. SO, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PLANS WE CAN HAVE COME JANUARY 1, 2024.
SO JUSTICE WE JUST WANT TO CHANGE THE REACTIONS PLANT INSTEAD OF HAVING MORE COPAYMENTS AND THINGS AND WHAT PLANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO THE MONETARY BASIS WHERE EMPLOYEES WILL PUT THE MONEY IN THE POCKET. UP TO $175.
>>RIGHT NOW, FOLKS GET LOWER COPAYMENTS. WE'RE GAVE UP $275 FOR THE SAME HEALTHY ACTIONS. AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW ÃÃ50 PLANE ENDS UP
WINNING THE RP, WOULD ALLOW FOR THIS HEALTHY ACTION COPING REDUCTION.>>YES JUDGE.
>>OKAY, AND THE PLAN FOR. WE MODIFY THE PLAN DESIGNED TO CHARGE NO COPAYMENT FOR MEMBERS WHO UTILIZE THE ON-SITE WELLNESS CLINIC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS RIGHT NOW THAT THERE IS A SMALL COPAYMENT FOR USING THE WELLNESS CLINIC AND YOU GUYS ARE PROPOSING TO
MAKE THE COPAYMENT ZERO, IS THAT CORRECT? >>WE ARE TRYING TO INCREASE
UTILIZATION, YES. >>SO, THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE PARTS NONE, , TOTHREE, URFO, 25 ON PAGE 4, DOES THAT SOUND GHRIT? IS THERE A MOTION FOR THAT?
>MOTION BY ISCOMMSIONER ELLIS AND IAGARC. >>FIVE.
Y >>ANPOST? I'M IN FAVOR OF MOTION CARRIED .3Ä DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR ME? THAT'S ITEM 25.NO 129.ET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM MYBOTH OF COLLEAGUES LIKE THISM IT. IT'S AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.
>>129. >>ON PAGE 16 COMMISSIONER ELLIS.E,
>>JUDG ON THIS ITEM ÃÃI AM JUST ÃÃI WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM MS.ONPETERSON.
HOW ERTHESE PRODUCTS WE AN CONSTRUCTED D I'M JUST PR SUPPOSED TO ECINCT 2 CAME UP F ON THE SHORT END OTHIS.WN GIVEN THE DOSTREAM SIDE OF THE COUNTY.
SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO W FIGURE OUT HOTHIS WAS ÃÃTHIS WAS CONSTRUCTED.
>>COMMISSIONER GARCIA, T THE PROJECTS THAWERE INCLUDED ON T THIS LIST ARE ONES THAWERE CI SELECTED BY THE TY OF HOUSTON.WA SO, WHEN THE BOND S FIRST US PASSED, CITY OF HOTON Y INDICATED THAT THEWERE IL LOOKING FOR THE ABITY TO PARTNER. WITH THE FLOOD D CONTROL DISTRI ANH THEY CAME TO THE TABLE WIT IFTHE PROPOSAL OF THESE SPECIC PROJECTS.ND THE DISTRIBUTION WORKED OUT TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 25 Ã20 FIVE 30 PERCENT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT PRESENT. THE PROJECTS WERE PROPOSED BY
THE CITY AND EMBEDDED BY THE >>AND YOU HAVE NO SAY?. YOU JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THEM?
>>AI [INDISCERNIBLE] CERTNLY WE COULD CHOOSE TO
MODIFY AND ASK THEM TO [INDISCERNIBLE] >>YOU ARE THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT. AND SHOULD THE CITY BE WHLETTIN THIS JUST TELLING YOU AT IS THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS FLOOD RISK OR SHOULD YOU BE ÃÃTHE AUTHORITY?
>>COMMISSIONER, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS ÃÃTHESE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY OF HOUSTON. THESE ARE HUGE IMPROVEMENTS. THESE ARE NOT SPECIFIC FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT PROJECTS. THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT HAVE O BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH A
[02:10:01]
NUMBERF DIFFERENT DRAINAGE STUDIES THAT WERE UNDERTAKEN BY THE T CITY OF HOUSTON.SO, GIVEN THE FACT THATHEY KNOW THEIR SYSTEM DOES JUST WE TOOK THE THRECOMMENDATIONS ON WHICH PROJECTS THEY OUGHT AF WOULD BE THE MOST SUITABLE. THE STF AT THE TIME DID REVIEW THE PROJECT TO CONFIRM THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE A BENEFIT.
AND BEYOND THAT, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO TYDETERMINE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS WITHIN THE CI OF HOUSTON. YOU HAVE THAT DATA.FLOOD DATA.
YOU HAVE THOSE MAPS OF WHERE HOMES HAVE FLOATED INSIDE THE CITY? AND YOU KNOW WHERE THE DAMAGE HAS TAKEN PLACE. SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR ÃÃWHITE YOU ARE JUST NOT MAKING AN ARGUMENT FOR MORE IMPROVEMENTS
IN AREAS THAT ARE KNOWN TO CHRONIC FLOODING. >>COMMISSIONER, I HEAR YOUR CONCERN. CERTAINLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE PROVIDING AS MUCH BENEFIT AS POSSIBLE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT LOOKING AT THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY OF WHERE THESE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED ÃÃ70 PERCENT ARE MODERATE TO HIGH VULNERABILITY AREAS WITHIN THE CITY OF HOUSTON.
I HEAR YOUR CONCERN AND UNDERSTAND THAT ABSOLUTELY THERE HAS TO BE A COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE THAT THE PROJECTS ARE BEING FUNDED AND PROVIDING THE MOST BENEFIT TO THOSE MOST
IN NEED. >>I'M JUST NOT CONVINCED DOCTOR PETERSON THAT THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT HAS DONE AN EFFECTIVE JOB ON THIS PROJECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THIS WAS DONE. I FOUGHT TO HAVE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO HAVE AN INSIDE CITY OF HOUSTON VOICE AND I JUST THINK VOICE IS BEING EXERCISED AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORHOODS I'VE GOT ÃÃI CONTINUOUSLY AM BEING ASKED BY THE CITY OF HOUSTON. NEIGHBORHOODS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEAL WITH FLOODING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS? AND SO ÃÃI'M NOT INCLINED TO VOTE FOR THIS. TODAY UNTIL I GET BETTER INTEREST.
>>SO JUDGE, COMMISSIONER GARCIA DISTANCE I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS.
I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE ITEM BECAUSE I KNOW THESE ARE POOR NEIGHBORHOODS.S THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT INCLUDE REPLACING CLUBAND OUTFALLS. STORM SEWER COMPONENTS AND INCREASING THE SIZE OF INLETS. NA[INDISCERNIBLE] OTHER REPAIRS CRITICAL BY DRAIGE INFRASTRUCTURE.ND I DO KNOW THAT ALL FOUR PRECINCTS ÃJUST NINE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS AB, DE, J H I JK ARE H INVOLVED.
WHAT IS THE SPLIT COMING FROM E CITY? AND WATCHES FROM THE COUNTY? GIVE ME A SENSE OF WHAT DEADLINES WE ARE ON. WE WENT THROUGH AND DID AN ANALYSIS ON WHAT THE COUNTY IS DONE HISTORICALLY. CLEARLY TO THE CITY OF HOUSTON IN GENERAL. HAS BENEFITED THE LEAST. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT OF COURSE, YOU GET MORE IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON NOW. THANKS TO THE REDISTRICTING PLANS THAT I DREW. BUT I KNEW WHEN I GOT HERE Ã JUST THE CITY WAS WOEFULLY BEHIND IN TERMS OF WHAT IT GOT. BUT, IF IT WAS A SURROUNDING COMMUNITY BY THE WAY, THEY DID BETTER. THE DID HEADLINES. DOCTOR PETERSON AND GIVE ME SOME SENSE OF THIS DISH IS THERE BREAKDOWN BY PRECINCT? I'VE DONE ONE WHO'S REALLY GOTTEN CAUGHT UP INTO THE AS MUCH AS OTHER MEMBERS. I'VE FOCUSED MORE ON SOCIAL VULNERABILITY PART. WHATEVER THEY ARE. INCLUDING IN THREE AND FOUR.
>>I APPRECIATE THAT COMMISSIONER. I JUST DON'T HAVE ANY SENSE THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY APPLIED IN THIS BREAKDOWN. SO, BECAUSE OF THE AREAS THAT ARE CHALLENGED TO FISH MELROSE PARK ÃÃIT'S ON THE BORDER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY THAT THE DISTRICT B. AND PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS. AND INVESTMENTS.
AND AREAS OF DISTRICT H. AND I'M ACTUALLY CONCERNED IN DISTRICT H BECAUSE COUNCILMEMBERS SHOWED THAT THERE IS A GREAT LADY, BUT INFRASTRUCTURE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE PRIORITY. I'M SURE IS A COUNCILMEMBER, WE ARE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR
[02:15:02]
THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. >>THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION. AS A TIMING ISSUE, I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THAT, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT AS YOU KNOW, WE WOULD NOT TAKE THAT APPROACH ON EVERY ITEM THAT COMES UP. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO LOOK AT IT HOLISTICALLY.
YOU GOT ME? FOR I COULD THINK OF A COUPLE ITEMS FROM USED BONDUNDS BY THE WAY. I WOULD ALWAYS GO BACK TO ONE BY THE WAY? IF YOU WERE. WILL MY COLLEAGUES BEFORE I WAS AGAINST.
I'VE NOT VOTED NO, BUT THAT WAS OUTSIDE. THE CITY OF HOUSTON.
ORDERING THEGREETING PROJECT. OR SOME TIMETABLES ON THIS. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM ÃÃIT MAY DELAY THE PROJECT A BIT, BUT I WANT TO KNOW. WHAT IS THE IMPACT?
>>THE TIME CONSTRAINTS ARE THAT THERE IS URGENCY TO GET THE WORK DONE.
THIS IS BOND FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN SET ASIDE. IT IS A MATCH.
THE CITY OF HOUSTON HAS A TOTAL OF LIKE $19.6 MILLION MATCHED BY $19.6 MILLION IN THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT. AND CERTAINLY THERE IS URGENCY TO GET THE WORK DONE.
BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF NEEDED.
>>I DON'T MIND COMMISSIONER, IF WE ARE GOING TO DELAY IT. FOR TWO WEEKS, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU COME BACK WITH AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT TO SEE IF MY ASSUMPTION IS CORRECT.
YOU KNOW? UNDER THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION COME SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO GET THE NUMBERS. BUT SEE, LOOK, I DO KNOW THAT BECAUSE IN THE PAST, SOCIAL VULNERABILITY WAS NOT IN ÃÃ YOU GOT ME? AND I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO LOOK AT IT WITH THE LENS OF NOT JUST ONE ITEM IN THE AGENDA.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TOTAL FIGURE. BECAUSE WE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE
EVERY TWO WEEKS. >>YES. >>I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING EVEN DOING SOME OF MY GENERAL MOVEMENTS INSIDE THE CITY.
Y STAFF ARE AGAINST IT BECAUSE IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE. BUT IT MAKES A POINT OF WHAT I'M SAYING AND THAT IS CITY HOUSTON NEIGHBORHOODS ÃÃTHE SUN I STILL LIVE IN ONE.
BUT I AM ON THE HIGH END OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. LOWERING IN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BEGGING. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE AREA THEY DID GET A LOT OF DAMAGE IS ON THE SHORT END OF THE HOW THIS DISTRIBUTION IS SET UP CORRECTLY.
>>THE GOOD THING IS THAT IT'S NOT TWO WEEKS. SINCE WE DELAYED THIS MEETING.
WE HAVE THE MEETING ON THIS TUESDAY. SO, I LOVE TO DELAY PROJECTS, BUT COMMISSIONER GARCIA, ONLY GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT IT.
TO DOCTOR PETERSON TO READ IT BACK AND IF YOU RECOMMEND, I IMAGINE IT WOULD BE HARD ON THIS ONE BECAUSE IT'S 50-50 AND YOU GUYS NOT GENERALLY THAT IF WE START SECOND-GUESSING EVERY BOND PROJECT, WE NEVER END. WE'VE GOT TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE NEXT BOND.
BUT I RESPECT YOUR CONCERN. I THINK IT'S VERY VALID. >>AND IT MIGHT BE GOOD COMMISSIONER GARCIA FOR YOU TO GO WITH HER AND MEET WITH THE MAYOR.
AND MEET WITH THE CITY. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT OVERALL ASSESSMENT ÃÃI THINK I'M RIGHT. BY AND LARGE ÃJUST IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON IN GENERAL, THIS COUNTY WAS NOT MAKING THE INVESTMENTS. IT WAS WILLING TO MAKE TO INCORPORATE IN ANY OF THE CITIES. PRAY ON THAT SLIPPERY SLOPE.
I'VE DONE IT. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SUN BIKE TRAILS UP.
I GET. YOU GET THE PERCEPTION OF COURSE NOW, WE'RE GONNA END UP
WITH THE CITY'S PIT WHERE COLLEAGUES ADD TO IT. >>ALL RIGHT, NO ACTION ON ITEM
>>THING. >>129. I'M OFF TODAY ON MY NUMBERS.
I'M SORRY. >>I THOUGHT WE WOULD GET TEXTS AND AND TALK.
>>RIGHT? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ME? I ACTUALLY DO NOT SLEEP WELL EITHER. MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS A PHONE CALL.
SO, IT COST ME MY SLEEP LAST NIGHT. ALL RIGHT, 210.
