“I WANT CLARIFICATION. You're wanting just to go ahead and set those funds aside, leave them in the sheriff's office, and then what's the rest?”

“I mean, and I think with the new pay plan too, you know, that... gave us some flexibility there to lower that. But I'm certainly willing to look at employees if anybody's open to that. I mean, I would say, you know, when we spoke about SROs, and I know that we want to have an SRO in every single campus, we talked about two. I know this one has three. Maybe that's, we did vote on that, and I think the two was just a discussion that we have. I know that that's not a place that we really want to cut, but... Let me just go down the list of what I have and see what y'all think. So I had two SROs,…”

“Commissioner, can I just clarify on the JPs and the constable? You're saying to do the analysis. And I had recommended that those positions start 1-1 of 27. And so that would give us enough time to do those analysis if we budgeted funds for 1-1 start of those three positions.”

“And that's what we adopted. But does that also include the constable to deputy?”

“Let's do it. I make a motion for the three SROs.”

“But I think Scott was setting that money aside, right, Scott, for the new elected officials to come in?”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026

“Just once again, I think we had, like you said, we had already approved those, but they were going to be kept in somewhere, Scott, right?”

“No, nothing is being removed. It's just in countywide until the new elected official comes in.”

“So there were two options, though, Jennifer. I think it was the first option to pay in three years, the second to pay in four years, still with a low pay first year of $300,000.”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 3:41:01
“But then there was also a year four, if that would be more, I mean, you know, if it would give us more. Yeah. Yeah. to lower that payment even lower for years two, three, and four. I mean, that was something that they were willing to do. I'm sorry, I don't have that in front of me.”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 3:41:20
“Yeah, so I mean, it would make it easier, you know, and stretch that out even further. I know there's still some no's, but I'm trying to determine what's best for the court and how we move forward, if it's a three-year payment or if it's a four-year payoff.”

“AND THEN FOR THE FIRST OPTION, JENNIFER, IT WAS 650 THE FIRST YEAR AND THEN 1.1 OR I CAN'T REMEMBER.”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026

“AND THE INCREASE OVERALL WASN'T THAT MUCH.”

“Oh, may I say before we move on, these other positions, can they be effective 1-1? Well, I don't know. The juvenile service officer, what did we determine on that? Was there a start date?”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 3:50:08
“Okay. So the county administrator, though, I'd like to make a motion that it start 1-1 of 27.”

“But Scott, what is the tax rate with all the changes that we made with the reserves in and with the reserves back in, reserves out?”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 3:57:43
“Well, what is, with cutting everything that we did, the list that we just approved and disapproved, what is our tax rate now, if, both if we kept the reserves in and if we put them back in reserves?”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 4:02:25
“Well, with that tax rate, the $333,000 go into it? No. No. Oh, I thought it was the 1.2. No, we did it all together.”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 4:03:21
“I thought keeping the $333,000, the tax rate would be 1.0592.”
Commissioners Court · Sep 15, 2026

“That's what I thought. Okay. And the 0.9827 does not include those reserves, I thought. Hold on. Let's get it.”
