WE WILL START WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS RELATED TO THE AGENDA AND OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MR. BILL KEVERRAL. >> WILLIAMSON RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN. THE ITEMS I'M SPEAKING ON THIS MORNING ARE THE ONES 23, 24, AND ACTUALLY 25. IN THAT WE NEED TO PUT A PLAN TOGETHER AND MAKE COMMITTEE OR WHATEVER, TO UPDATE THE PLAT POLICY. OUR POLICIES FOR PLATTING IN THE COUNTY SHOULD NOT ONLY BE WITHIN YOUR REALM OF ACTUALLY LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS BUT ALSO, NEED TO BE IN CONCERT WITH THE OATH OF OFFICE THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU TAKE. ALL OF OUR OFFICIALS TAKE. IT IS REQUIRED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF BOTH TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES. JUST LIKE ARTICLE 6 OF THE CONSTITUTION AND ARTICLE 1 OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION. LAY OUT BASICALLY THE LAW OF THE LAND. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE FOCUS A LOT ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT. IT HAS A LOT OF VERY, IMPORTANT ITEMS, SPEECH, RELIGION, ET CETERA. BUT IT STARTS OFF BY SAYING, CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAWS REGARDING. WELL THE REASON FOR THAT IS WHEN YOU GET TO THE START OF THE CONSTITUTION CONGRESS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ALLOWED TO MAKE LAWS. JUDGES AREN'T ALLOWED TO MAKE LAWS. AGENCIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE LAWS. RELIGION OFFICIALS, IMAMS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL, VARIOUS OTHER TITLES, THEY DON'T MAKE THE LAW. OUR LEGISLATURE AND OUR CONGRESS MAKE THE LAW. AND THE WAY WE DO THINGS USED TO BE THAT TEXAS, IT IS NOT NEW THAT THEY HAVE BANNED FOREIGN INVESTMENT. YOU GO BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY, FOREIGN PEOPLE WERE ALSO CONSIDERED FOREIGN, IF THEY WERE FROM THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. BUT WE'VE GOT SOME NEW LAWS. AND OUR PLATS, POLICIES NEED TO REFLECT THAT. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHAT ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO DISRUPT AND WREAK HAVOC IN OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE, WHETHER IT IS CHINA, RUSSIA, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD CARE OR THE DOZENS OF NAME OVER THE LAST 1400 YEARS WHAT THESE BAD PLAYERS HAVE DONE. THEY ARE ALL IN VIOLATION OF MULTIPLE PARTS OF OUR CONSTITUTION. AS WELL AS NOT JUST THE BILL OF RIGHTS, BUT THE BILL OF RIGHTS, THE FIFTH AMENDMENT, THE SIXTH AMENDMENT, THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT, NINTH AMENDMENT, 13TH AMENDMENT, 14TH AMENDMENT. ARTICLE ONE OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION AND THE TEXAS BELL OF RIGHTS. WE NEED TO HAVE OUR POLICY REFLECT THE SPIRIT AND THE LEGALITY OF OUR CONSTITUTION. AS IN ARTICLE 6 LAWS HAVE TO BE MADE IN PURSUANCE THEREOF. THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK OF OUR CONSTITUTION. WE NEED TO DO THIS. WE NEED TO DO IT QUICKLY. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT BAD GIVEIOR GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD. THE UNITED KINGDOM RIGHT FEW IS HAVING 200,000RAPES OF YOUNG GIRLS IN THE COUNTRY BY GANGS. EUROPE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, CHRISTIANS ARE BEING MASSACRED IN AFRICA. AND ONE OF THE OTHER INTERESTING THINGS TOO IS THE RESULTING BEHAVIOR THAT COMES, ALONG WITH THIS. ONE OF THE ISSUES I DEALT WITH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WAS A LOT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE SUBDIVISION BEHIND ME. BEING AN ENGINEER, I JUST BUILT MYSELF A LITTLE TOY AND DROWNED OUT THEIR NOISE. THEY COMPLAINED TO THE SHERIFF, BUT, THE FACT THAT THE COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE ANY NOISE ORDINANCE. BUT EACH CITIZEN HAS EQUAL RIGHTS. SO THERE'S WAYS OF DEALING WITH THE SIDE EFFECT OF ALL OF THESE BAD THINGS. BUT BACK TO MY ORIGINAL COMMENT. [00:05:03] WE NEED TO UPDATE THE PLAT POLICY TO BRING IT IN LINE WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS FROM OUR CONSTITUTION, CONGRESS, OUR LEGISLATURE, ET CETERA. >> THANK YOU, BILL. >> ALL RIGHT, I DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS RELATED TO THE [58.

WELCOME MR. BUTLER. >> THANK YOU, GOOD MORNING JUDGE, COMMISSIONERSDALE BUTLER FACILITIES. >> YOU HAVEN'T HAD MUCH GOING ON. >> NO, NOW I HAVE A HARD ACT TO FALL WITH THE 4H YOUTH GOING BEFORE ME, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST. JUST A QUICK SNAP SHOT OF SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE GOING. DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS. YOU HAVE TO STAND UP AND TURN AROUND. SO A COUPLE OF MARKS PROJECTS WE HAVE BEEN HELPING WITH. I THINK WE SHOWED YOU THE PLAN FOR THIS LAST TIME I WAS UP HERE. BUT THE SOUTHWEST REGIONAL PARKS FIELD AND TRACK UPGRADES. THIS WAS ON ONE OF THE RARE, RAINY DAYS WE HAD LAST WEEK. BASICALLY JUST A LOT OF DIRT WORK STILL BEING DONE ON FIELD SEVEN, EIGHT, AND MEAN HAVE STARTED. I THINK SIX IS COMING NEXT. >> IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. >> A LITTLE BIT RAINY. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SHOT OF THE FIELD. [00:45:02] THE ROAD AND BRIDGE TRAINING BUILDING, AGAIN LAST TIME I THINK WE HAD THE FLURRY PLAN, THE GENERAL FLOOR PLAN THAT WE ARE WRAPPING UP THE DESIGN ON THAT IT IS A RENNERRING OF WHAT THAT WOULD LIKE FROM THE ROADSIDE. IT IS SOUTHEAST INTERLOOP. THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE CIVIL PLAN. THE NEW BUILDING IS IN THE BOTTOM PART OF THE SLIDE. AND THEN, YOU SEE THE NEW PARKING ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. SO THAT'S TRYING TO SQUEEZE IN AS MUCH PARKING AS WE CAN, BETWEEN THE EXISTING PARKING AND SOUTHEAST INTERLOOP, WITHOUT WITH COOPERATION FROM ENCORE AND THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN. THOSE ARE RIGHT OF WAYS AS WELL. >> WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ISLANDS THAT WE CAN REPLANT, AS WELL. >> YOU WILL END UP PLANTING TREES. >> YES, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO OUR BEST. ANIMAL SHELTER EXPANSION PROJECT. AGAIN, LAST TIME I THINK WE JUST HAD DD PLANS. NOW WE HAVE WRAPPED UP PLANS. WE HAVE 100 PERCENT CD OR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT IS OUT TO BID, THROUGH OUR CMAR CONTRACTOR. SO WE SHOULD SEE THOSE THAT GMP I THINK WE'RE REVIEWING IT IN OUR OFFICE ON NOVEMBER TEN. WE'LL SEE THE FINAL GMP TO REVIEW AND BRING BACK TO COURT FOR APPROVAL. AND GROUND BREAKING THERE BE IN THAT TIME FRAME, AS WELL. >> BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE GROUNDBREAKING. >> YES, FOR SURE. >> ON THAT, THAT'S AGAIN, JUST TO OVERALL VIEW OF THE SITE. AND WE, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, WHEN WE CAME UP AND SPOKE ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF THE KENNEL SIDE. SO THAT RIGHT HAND SIDE, THE WHITE BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THE SLIDE. THE DESIGN TEAM TOOK THAT AS FAR TO THE EAST AS WE COULD, WITHOUT RUNNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. SO WE'VE SQUEEZED IN EVERY, BIT OF BUILDING WE CAN IN THAT SPACE. RIVER RANCH TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS. REPAVE OR A PAVE THE OF THE TRAIL THAT WAS UNPAVED AND THE CULVERT ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE THAT WAS JUST A WASH AREA THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO STABILIZE WITH THE REAL CULVERT. INTERPRETIVE CENTER REROOF. HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE LEFT ONE YOU'LL SEE OF ANY KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAD TO MAKE, AFTER CONSTRUCTION THERE. SO THAT'S GOING WELL. EVEN ON THIS RAINY DAY, IT WAS DRY. STAYED DRY. >> ARE THOSE FINISHED? THESE TWO PROJECTS FINISHED? >> THE ROOF IS, THERE'S STILL BUTTONING UP SOME LOOSE ENDS ON THE ROOF, BUT THE TRAIL IS FINISHED. >> HISTORIC COURTHOUSE. SO SINCE THAT ONE HAS BEEN VEHICLATED WE'VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AN EMPTY BUILDING TO DO SOME WORK. THIS IS HARD TO SEE IN THE PICTURES. BUT THE FLOORS DO LOOK GOOD, IF YOU ELECTRIC AT THEM IN PERSON. THE TERAZO RESTORATION T DUE, I THINK IT HAS BEEN SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS, BE SINCE WE RESTORED THE TORAZO FLOORING. SO THIS IS WHERE THEY COME IN ASK DO AN ACTUALLY GROINING OF THE FINISH. NOT JUST THE LIGHT BUFF. SO WE'LL JUST CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT THE SAME PICTURE HERE. JUSTICE PROJECT. EXPANSION PROJECT THIS IS THE WALL OF THE NEW CROOM. YOU CAN COURTROOM AND YOU CAN SEE THE WINDOWS UP HIGH AND THE WALL. AN EXAMPLE OF THE STAGE THAT IS IN. THIS IS THE INSIDE, THIS HAS BEEN A FEW WEEKS AGO. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY FRAMED QUITE A BIT MORE EXTERIOR WALL THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THE NEW CROM. SO THE RAISED RAMP YOU SEE, WITH CONCRETE RAMP IS THE RAMP TO THE BACK OF THE JUDGE'S BENCH AND THEN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE JURY BOX. YOU CAN SEE THAT'S STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE. >> THE COURT YARD OUTSIDE OF THE NEW IN DOOR-OUTDOOR GYM IS THE SHOT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE. LOOKING INTO THE BIG OVERHEAD DOOR. ASK THIS IS THE IN DOOR AREA, FOR THE GYM. SEE THEY ALREADY HAVE A BASKETBALL GOAL HUNG. [00:50:01] IT IS REALLY STARTING TO COME TOGETHER QUICKLY. THIS FALL YOU'LL SEE, RAPID PROGRESS. THIS IS JUST A RENNERRING TO GIVE YOU AN IDEAS OF WHAT'S COMING SOON. COUNTY ENGINEERS OFFICE HAS A PROJECT NOT ONLY SMITH BRANCH THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT'S ON ITS WAY, BUT WAS WE'RE CALLING THE PONDS PROJECT AND MANY I THINK I'VE TALKED TO THE COURT ABOUT IT BEFORE. WE HAVE BASICALLY WORKING COW ENGINEERS OFFICE AND A THE LOT OF ENGINEERING TEAMS BETWEEN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER DESIGN TEAM, AND THE SMITH BRANCH TEAM AND OTHERS ON THIS CAMPUS. WE HAVE ALL WORKED VERY WELL TOGETHER. VERY COOPERATIVE. TO GET THIS ALL UNDER DESIGN AND APPROVED WITH ALL OF THE PROCESSES THAT WE GO THROUGH WITH THE CITY, AND THESE TWO PONDS WHICH ARE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. ONE IS AN EXISTING POND THAT WILL EXPAND THE OTHERS IS A NEW PON. ACROSS FROM ACTUALLY THE WINDOWS BEHIND ME YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS POND TO THE NORTH. THESE PONDS ARE MEANT TO PROVIDE THIS WHOLE CAMPUS WITH WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT FOR ALL OF THE YEARS TO COME. SO WE'VE ESTIMATED ROOFTOPS THAT WE MAY ONE DAY BUILD ON THIS CAMPUS AND THIS IS MEANT TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT. SO INSIDE, WE HOPE THE IDEAS IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DIG ANY MORE WATER QUALITIY PONDS OR BUILD ANY MORE WATER QUALITY PONDS, ONCE THESE ARE IN PLACE. >> STORM WATER MANAGEMENT, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, AGAIN COUNTY ENGINEERS WORKING ON THE SMITH BRANCH PROJECT. I THINK THAT'S STARTING SOON. YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE A LOT MORE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH ON THIS CAMPUS AND THAT IS MEANT TO ACCOMMODATE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT, AGAIN FOR THE CAMPUS. AND KEEP US OUT OF THE FLOOD PLAINS. >> I ASSUME THAT THE PROJECT FOR THE SMITH BRANCH IS TIMED RIGHT. SO IT WON'T DELAY OUR OPENING OF THE BUILDING? >> CORRECT. WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY. LOTS OF MEETINGS. LOTS OF COORDINATION. I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE THERE. SO, JUST A FEW FACILITIES ENHANCEMENT THAT ARE COMING THIS FALL THAT YOU'VE, THAT THE COURT HAS APPROVED AND FUNDED. THE HISTORIC COURTHOUSE WHILE IT IS EMPTY TROYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT WITH THE LIGHTING UPGRADE. AND INTERIOR PAINT AND MANY HVAC CONTROL UPGRADE AND THE WINDOW RESTORATION AND THE WOOD WINDOWS ARE AS OLD AS THE BUILDING. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TLC. SIDEWALK RESTORATION, AGAIN YOU'LL SEE THE EXISTING VERY, WIDE SIDEWALKS ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BUILDING. DEMOLISHED AND REBUILT. THEN THE FLOORING ASSESSMENT. SO WHERE THERE'S CARPET NOW, WE ARE PLANNING TO ASSESS WHAT'S UNDER THE CARPET AND IS THAT VIABLE TO USE. WE THINK IT IS THE ORIGINAL WOOD FLOOR. SO THINGS LIKE THAT. BERG TO TOWN TAX OFFICE NOW THAT THE COURT HAS MADE A DECISION ON HOW WE'RE USING THAT FOR IT. WE'RE GOING IN DOING LIGHTING. HVAC AND LIGHT REMODELING AND THEN JUSTICE CENTER IS THE FIRE PANEL UPGRADE AMONG OTHER THINGS. THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGER ITEMS FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER AND THEN THE JAIL. WORKING TO DO UPGRADES. ELEVATOR, AND HVA CRASHS A LOT OF WORK IN THE SHERIFF OFFICE AND JAIL. >> ARE THESE ITEMS IN YOUR BUDGET? >> YES, THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. >> ANDDALE, NOT THAT IT ELEVATES TO THE LEVEL OF WAS YOU JUST DESCRIBED, BUT YOUR TEAM AND COORDINATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR, DID A GREAT JOB ON THE REMODEL FOR THE CONSTABLE TWO OFFICE. AND GIVING THEM SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE, A CONFERENCE ROOM AND ONE MORE CONFERENCE ROOM IN THE PRECINCT TWO BUILDING. SO, SHOUTOUT TO TOMMY AND YOUR TEAM ASK THEN ALLEN AND HIS TEAM WITH THE CONTRACTORS. >> THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >> SO, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THIS YOUR BUDGET OR NOT, BUT I WAS OVER AT THE INTERLOOP ANNEX RECENTLY. TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT ELECTIONS HAS TO GO OUTSIDE TO GET THEIR VEHICLE AROUND TO THE WAREHOUSE THERE. WAS GOING TO BE A HOLE PUNCHED THROUGH. >> YES,. >> THAT'S IN OUR BUDGET. >> I DON'T SEE THAT ON THERE. >> THIS IS NOT EVERYTHING. THIS IS FOR SURE, COMMISSIONERS. >> THAT IS STILL IN THE PLANS?
