Get a good beat what it's going to cost us at the collection facility yeah I think the big part of the problem is it's either one or two it's either there's so much volume that it doesn't pack well or there's a lot of grouping material and that stuff is happening so that's that's the two problems with construction all right any other discussion regarding agenda item number six
They're both in the same region. Are you talking about Taddy's? Yes, Tassie Langton's off of Brantley. Okay, and then I will make a motion to approve the name of the private land, Tassie Langton, and Crescent Point. Okay.
They're 10 more expensive than just regular medical ones. But be that as it may, if we're gonna amend it, we might as well include RCT Reinforcement in 5G, just in case. That's what they want.
Right, we may have to follow the recommendation that it needs to be addressed. Gotcha. Yeah, that's what my point was.
Yes, we asked last year for this to be revised and updated. because we had the functional change of the state legislature increasing our statutory bid limit from $50,000 to $100,000. And then also we were having some issues with some other minor things in there, specifically having to get bids. Our policy required that we got bids if the amount was over $5,000, and that was a little bit cumbersome for There's some things we know that it costs about $17,000 to outfit a sheriff's vehicle, for example. Many times our repairs on our vehicles and equipment is over $5,000. So if you want to look at…
Okay all right I'll entertain a motion on agenda item number 11. I'll make a motion to authorize the county attorney and the sheriff to sign an mlb between the sheriff's office and the county attorney's office okay motion made by commissioner Martin seconded by commissioner King any other
Yeah I forgot now what's been a month or so ago the sheriff brought several items that we approved in a group and since then he's had one more vehicle dropped out so this is to add that vehicle to the auction that vehicles cost me more in the last six months and it's working it's becoming a breakdown every other week so I need to get get it started okay I'll entertain a motion I said I don't know which one I'll make a motion to declare the 2022 Chevrolet pickup within number 1 GCP, WCEA 8, door receiver 111, 293 at surplus and cell availability. Second.
I went to the San Antonio River County Board meeting last week where they approved our interlocal agreement, that's 41. We are leading the way for the other counties. They thanked us for getting us started and getting that going. So I know Commissioner Aiken and I are also talking again about possibly using some of our debts in nature. those projects over there. So it's been a good meeting. A lot of community members from around the county attended. I believe our representatives are representing as well.
So I'm going to go ahead and put it on the website so they can start taking those applications and then for review that's one thing all right so the other thing before we do that I'd like to I'd like to put that on the agenda for next time to discuss that with the county attorney and see what they recommend for us to do before we before we advertise I don't think it's necessary it's not in the code that way
You want to go to the microphone while they're coming up here and explain to us all the good things they've been doing?
Well, considering that with our preliminary budget, we have a lot more to ask.
Oh, OK. That's my discretion. We have a second. Second.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
See, using Cornell's parking for the carnival from 5 o'clock Friday, does it coincide with... Yeah, the tax office parking lot is 3 o'clock Wednesday, so something seems to be... wrong here because that can't happen. You can't have the tax office parking lot until the time you closed on six.
You can't use that area until after five to give on Thursday.
He came to the conference on that Thursday, and it was a mess. Nobody could get in and out of our office. So we've got to figure out how to do that better. I mean, it's up to you if you want to allow them to use your office. I mean, obviously, if they do, then they're going to have to pay for whatever security
judge my office is closed Thursday we can't operate so okay well you can if you've got space to operate and they're not in your parking lot and they're not blocking anything past where they're supposed to is that correct I know that's why we're bringing it up that it started to squeeze in and circle that office it didn't used to be that way so it's causing a problem
But see what happened was last year not only was all that around our office but the street was also blocked off. So we've got to have better coordination with the city to not close that street so that people can get in and out of there. With the reason for that is to create a bigger footprint to get the festivals understood but we we've got operators sir we've got people that drive up and they want to know why is the tax office closed they don't expect it to be closed they can't get there some of them are elderly so they have trouble navigating
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
Do we need to do something eventually or not?
You do what now? You'd go to 31A for just one moment. That's our point of order.
Yeah, so I can't remember how many court sessions ago we had this discussion. And I know there's a whole bunch of new people here today. So I want to address the data center portion of it because it's important that you all understand that this court does not have the statutory authority to stop the data center, period. End of story. We do not. We have been advised by legal counsel not to initiate anything that would be called a moratorium against a data center. helping Commissioner Aiken with the Rockwall County or some county up north. Which one? Hood, yeah, Hood County. In North Texas,…

You're going to have to come to the microphone and repeat the question.
The leases would be . Okay. The land is leased. It's leased. They don't know that.
