JUST WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WE HAVE A MANY THINGS GOING ON AT THE JUSTICE CENTER. FIRST ONE, I WANT TO JUST BRIEFLY UPDATE YOU GUYS IS ON OUR WE CALL OUR STRUCTURAL TEAM. AND THAT'S A BURDEN SUB CONSULTANT CALLED GESSNER ENGINEERING. THEY MADE A STRUCTURAL INSPECTION OF THE JUSTICE CENTER. AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THAT ARE ATTACHED. THEY HAD VERY FEW COMMENTS. AND THAT MEANS A FULTON IS DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON INSTALLING THE STEEL AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. WE HAVE ANOTHER

[00:10:07]

INSPECTION. THIS IS FROM A PT. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL OUR LABORATORY INSPECTION AND ATTACH SOME ADDITIONAL PHOTOS SPECIFICALLY ON WHAT WE CALL THESE THE SHEAR STUDS. THOSE ARE VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND THEY'RE FIELD WELDED IN PLACE. BUT EACH ONE OF THOSE STUDS THAT HAD MET INSPECTION, AND THEY DO ABOUT MAYBE 40% OF THE WHOLE AREA OF THE SECOND FLOOR, AND THEY DO WHAT THEY CALL LIKE A BIG OLD HAMMER TEST OR A SLEDGE TEST ON THOSE METAL STUDS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE SECURED IN PLACE.

THIS TIME FULTON WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE FULL PRINT OUT HERE.

USUALLY I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHAT WE CALL THE CRITICAL PATH METHOD THAT CONTROLS THE COMPLETION OF THE JOB. BUT RIGHT NOW, LIKE I SAID, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO LOOK, THERE'S ITEM 112 HERE. AND SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS WHAT I TALKED ABOUT THE HVAC, THE ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING.

THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE THE COMPLETION OF THE JOB FOR THIS TIME. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY COMMENTS, ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS.

SO I GUESS THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION. WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY APPROVED THESE. WE HAVE APPROVED THEM, BUT WE HAVE ANOTHER REPORT COMING IN JUST TO MAINTAIN THE ACTUAL BUDGET, PUTTING IT ALL IN ONE SHEET AND GETTING THAT FINAL APPROVAL AS WE'RE DOING THIS NEXT REPORT.

THAT WAY WHEN I'M REPORTING, WE'RE CERTAIN IT'S ALL BEEN APPROVED AS ONE WHOLE BUDGET. SO HAS THIS BEEN UPDATED FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2024? IT HAS BEEN UPDATED. THIS INCLUDES THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, WAS THAT WHAT THE ITEMS IN RED ARE SHOWING IS THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED OR BEEN UPDATED. IS THAT WHAT THAT'S AND ALSO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE CATEGORIES TOO, I'D LIKE TO MENTION THE CATEGORIES HAD TO CHANGE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAD ABOUT TEN. 10 MILLION IN REVENUE REPLACEMENT.

AND TO MEET THAT GOAL AND NOT OVER REPORT, WE WENT AHEAD AND MOVED SOME OF THE IT CATEGORIES UNDER PUBLIC SECTOR. SO THOSE ARE MOVED IN THERE. AND THAT JUST GUARANTEES THAT WE GET TO KEEP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE SPENT AND ONLY USE THAT 10 MILLION FOR REVENUE REPLACEMENT. THANK YOU. I THINK AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, I WOULDN'T MIND JUST COMING BY YOUR OFFICE AND MAYBE GETTING KIND OF AN IN-DEPTH WALKTHROUGH OF THIS THING JUST BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY TIME IT COMES BEFORE ME, IT TAKES A WHILE TO KIND OF DECIPHER IT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

WELL, WHAT WE DO IS WHAT I DO IS, AS THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FOR SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, I FOLLOW THE HANDBOOK BY THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, WHICH IS AVAILABLE PUBLICLY AT THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WEBSITE. WE ALSO FOLLOW THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES ARE BETTER KNOWN AS TAC. WE FOLLOW THEIR HANDBOOK AS WELL. AND SO WHAT HAPPENS IS, ONCE I RECEIVE A REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION AS A COORDINATOR OF PUBLIC INFORMATION, I WILL SEND IT OUT TO MY AGENT OR THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE, HAVE THAT INFORMATION. AND LET'S BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. IT'S CALLED THE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST. HOWEVER, IT'S FOR DOCUMENTS. WE PROVIDE DOCUMENTS, GOVERNMENT OWNED DOCUMENTS. AND IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T GIVE INFO. IT'S A MISNOMER BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE INFORMATION. IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR INFORMATION, I DON'T HAVE TO. WE DON'T HAVE TO CREATE A DOCUMENT. WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION. WE GIVE YOU DOCUMENTS. SO IT'S REALLY A REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS. OTHER THAN THAT, I ONLY PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE. WE HAVE TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS FOR ANY CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIALITY. AS YOU KNOW, AS YOU RECENTLY SEEN IN SOME OF OUR POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES WITH RELEASING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. WE HAVE TO REVIEW THOSE. WE HAVE TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE HAD SOME REQUESTS FOR BRIDGE REPORTS. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE I BELIEVE THOSE ARE CONFIDENTIAL. UNDER THE TEXAS SECURITIES ACT. OR THERE THERE'S A TEXAS HOMELAND SECURITIES ACT. AND SO IF I BELIEVE IT'S CONFIDENTIAL, I HAVE TEN BUSINESS DAYS TO SUBMIT THE REQUEST TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR THEIR OPINION. THAT'S THE GENERAL GIST OF IT. I RELY UPON MY SUBAGENTS TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS TO ME. I GET A LOT OF RECENTLY I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT MORE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS. I'VE BEEN GETTING RECEIVING SOME FROM CITIZENS, BUT GENERALLY I RECEIVE THEM FROM ENVIRONMENTAL COMPANIES WHO ARE WORKING ON DEVELOPMENT OR FROM PROFESSIONAL PUBLIC INFORMATION GROUPS. WE GET A LOT OF THOSE, SO MAYBE I'LL TRY TO SUMMARIZE. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WHEN YOUR OFFICE RECEIVES A REQUEST, YOU REVIEW IT, AND I'LL USE THE COMMISSIONERS AS AN EXAMPLE, SINCE WE'RE THE ONES SITTING HERE. IF IT INVOLVES ONE OF OUR PRECINCTS, YOU THEN FORWARD IT ON TO US SAYING, THESE ARE THE RECORDS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED. OUR PART THEN IS TO COLLECT THOSE RECORDS, PROVIDE THEM BACK TO YOU. YOU REVIEW THOSE RECORDS, COMPILE THEM, WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO, AND THEN YOU SEND THEM BACK TO THE ORIGINAL REQUESTER. IS THAT THE PROCESS? GENERALLY? OF COURSE I HAVE TO REVIEW THEM FOR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IF I BELIEVE IT'S CONFIDENTIAL OR IF IT'S NON-RESPONSIVE AS WELL. I YOU'RE KIND OF THE GATEKEEPER, I GUESS, IS THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. YES, SIR. I FRANKLY, I RELY UPON COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND THE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTS. AND SO. TODAY, ARE THERE ANY OUTSTANDING REQUESTS FOR ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED THAT WE HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO, OR THAT YOU HAVE NOT SUPPLIED? THERE ARE THERE ARE A COUPLE OUTSTANDING REQUESTS. I HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALS OUT OF PORTLAND ASKED FOR SEVERAL DOCUMENTS.

[00:35:07]

I'VE RESPONDED TO SEVERAL OF THOSE REQUESTS, BUT IT'S QUITE NUMEROUS. I HAVE ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OUT OF ODEM WHO HAS SOME REQUESTS TO YOU, AND ON THOSE REQUESTS THEY WERE QUITE TOO VAGUE. AND SO PART OF THE PROCESS IS WHEN I GET A VAGUE REQUEST, I SAY, CAN YOU CLEAR IT UP SO WE CAN GET MORE SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS? AND SAME FOR THE REQUEST OUT OF PORTLAND, WHERE THEY'RE JUST WAY TOO VAGUE TO GIVE THE DOCUMENT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DOCUMENTS YOU'RE REQUESTING. WELL, IN THAT CASE, THAT REQUEST HASN'T ACTUALLY BEEN DELIVERED TO ME. THAT'S CORRECT. I CAN REQUEST WAITING ON ANYTHING. LET ME BE MORE SPECIFIC. OR ANOTHER COMMISSIONER, IF IT'S A REQUEST FOR CELL PHONE RECORDS, THAT'S JUST WAY TOO VAGUE TO DO IT. I'M ASKED FOR THAT TO BE CLEARED UP. AND SO THAT'S ON. THAT'S FRANKLY THAT'S ON ME, WHERE I'VE ASKED TO BE CLEARED UP. AND IT'S JUST TOO VAGUE. IN OTHER WORDS, I NEED SPECIFIC GOVERNMENTAL DOCUMENTS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, NOT JUST ALL CELL PHONE RECORDS, BECAUSE THAT INCLUDES YOU'VE SEEN THE OPINIONS, AG HAS AN OPINION, AND THE TAC HAS AN OPINION THAT ELECTED OFFICIALS CELL PHONE RECORDS CAN BE DISCOVERABLE OR PUBLIC INFORMATION AS LONG AS IT DEALS WITH GOVERNMENTAL BUSINESS. BUT IF IT'S A MIXED ANYWAY, WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT GOVERNMENTAL DOCUMENTS. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, NONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS OWE SOMETHING BACK TO YOU AT THIS MOMENT THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED OF US. IS THAT THEN THE COMMISSIONERS? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO I HAVE READ THROUGH YOUR NOT THAT NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. I MEAN I'VE MET WITH SOME OF THESE SERIAL REQUESTERS AND TRIED TO GET IT RESOLVED AND THERE MAY BE. WE HAVE SPREADSHEETS AVAILABLE, BUT THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NONE. OKAY. WELL, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN REQUESTED OF ME, THAT I HAVE NOT DELIVERED SO THAT MUCH I'M AWARE OF. IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE, LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU ONE ON ONE, MAYBE JUST TO KIND OF GO OVER THESE POLICIES. I THINK THERE'S A WAY WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE THIS A LITTLE CLEARER FOR THE PUBLIC. I DON'T KNOW IF. WELL, OF COURSE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGE. I MET WITH THE CHANNEL SIX INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER ACTUALLY SATURDAY THIS WEEKEND, AND CHANNEL SIX IS ACTUALLY. TESTIFYING THIS WEEK ON CHANGES TO TOMA, WHICH IS TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, AND ALSO ON THE TEXAS PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT. SO THERE ARE SOME POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE WORKS WITH BOTH OF THOSE ACTS. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE AND I HAVE WORKED WITH THAT THAT REPORTER, SHE'S SHE'S ORGANIZED PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETINGS. AND WE'VE ACTUALLY OFFERED COUNTY FACILITIES FOR HER TO HAVE THEM HERE FOR THE FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT AS WELL. I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA. I ATTENDED ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS IN CORPUS CHRISTI. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE ONE IN SUMTER COUNTY AS WELL. SO YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I DID HAVE ONE COMMENT CARD FROM SONYA WEATHERSPOON THAT WANTS TO TALK ON THIS ITEM. SO MISS WEATHERSPOON. BEFORE I START, I DO WANT TO SAY I HAVE A INFORMATION FOR MR. DORSEY THAT HE JUST SPOKE ABOUT. MY NAME IS SONYA WITHERSPOON AND I LIVE IN PRECINCT THREE. A YEAR AGO I STARTED RESEARCHING ALL COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND SOME QUICKLY STOOD OUT ABOVE OTHERS. I REVIEW WHAT I CAN FIND ONLINE TO PROVE OR DISPROVE CITIZENS CONCERNS. FOR EXAMPLE, I AM CURRENTLY RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF THE JUSTICE CENTER.

I'M SYSTEMATICALLY WATCHING EVERY VIDEO STARTING IN 2021 AND COMPARING THEM TO THE MINUTES. I AM STRIVING TO BE THOROUGH AND NOT JUMP AROUND WHERE I MIGHT MISS SOMETHING, OR TAKE SOMETHING OUT OF CONTEXT. WHEN DOCUMENTS AREN'T ATTACHED TO THE MINUTES, I SUBMIT PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST. AS I WATCH, I TAKE NOTES ON OTHER THINGS I NEED TO RESEARCH. THERE IS A HANDBOOK AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR THE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, WITH CLEAR GUIDELINES FOR EVERYONE TO FOLLOW. PLUS, MY HUSBAND AND I DID ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS THAT WAS DISCUSSED, AND COMMISSIONER YARDLEY AND HIS WIFE DID ATTEND ONE OF THOSE WORKSHOPS AS WELL.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I DID REQUEST AND PATRICIA COUNTY OFFER THE WORKSHOPS OVER HERE.

THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT RULES ARE VERY CLEAR. ONCE A WRITTEN REQUEST IS SUBMITTED, THE CLOCK STARTS AND THE AGENCY HAS TEN BUSINESS DAYS TO RELEASE THEM. THE DOCUMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED.

NOTHING CAN BE DELETED. THEY CAN ONLY BE WITHHELD OR REDACTED. WHEN AN OPINION IS SOUGHT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, PER THEIR WEBSITE. SAN PATRICIA COUNTY'S APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND SAN PATRICIO COUNTY EACH HAVE ONLY REQUESTED ONE OPINION FROM THEM, AND BOTH WERE RESULT OF REQUESTS REY AND I SUBMITTED. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH FILED COMPLAINTS TO THE OPEN RECORDS DIVISION OF THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. BECAUSE OF THE COUNTY'S DELAY, AND FOR

[00:40:04]

OVERCHARGING ME FOR THE RELEASE OF RECORDS AS A DELAY TACTIC, COMMISSIONER YARDLEY AND THE TWO FORMER COMMISSIONERS CHARGED ME $1,327.50 FOR RECORDS. I PAID IT, BUT THE RECORDS WEREN'T RELEASED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH LATER. THEN WHAT WAS RELEASED WAS INCORRECT AND INCOMPLETE, AND THE DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY COMMISSIONER YARDLEY HAD OBVIOUS DELETIONS. HE EVEN CREATED HIS OWN DOCUMENTS INSTEAD OF RELEASING ONES THAT ALREADY EXISTED. A LOT OF MY RESEARCH REMAINS INCOMPLETE, AND CITIZENS HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN WHAT I HAVE UNCOVERED SO FAR. BETWEEN MAY 11TH AND NOVEMBER 16TH OF 2024, THERE ARE 26 PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS THAT THE COUNTY STILL HAS NOT RESPONDED TO. 11 INVOLVED PRECINCT TWO AND THE TWO FORMER COMMISSIONERS, FIVE THAT WERE PARTIALLY RELEASED BY THEM AND 21 WERE IGNORED. BETWEEN NOVEMBER 17TH THROUGH APRIL 6TH, THERE ARE 14 MORE THAT THE COUNTY STILL HASN'T RESPONDED TO. TEN INVOLVED PRECINCT TWO. THREE WERE PARTIALLY RELEASED, NINE WERE IGNORED, AND TWO ARE WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS. I EMAILED THE OPEN RECORDS DIVISION YESTERDAY TO START ANOTHER COMPLAINT. THAT PROCESS IS SLOW. IT TOOK MORE THAN 3 TO 4 MONTHS FOR THEM TO RULE THAT THE CHARGES WERE EXCESSIVE. TO DETERMINE THE COUNTY CAN ONLY KEEP $40 AND THEN I HAD TO WAIT TO BE REFUNDED. I'VE TRIED TO BE PATIENT. I UNDERSTAND THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER CANNOT RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. IF RECORDS AREN'T TURNED OVER TO HIM TO RELEASE. RAY AND I SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVE TODD HUNTER LAST MONTH AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIS HELP WITH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. AND AS FAR AS. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER SOUL MATE HERE? IF THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM, I CAN ASK MR. DORSEY ANOTHER QUESTION. SO WHEN IT COMES TO CHARGING FOR THESE DOCUMENTS. WE AS COMMISSIONERS, IF WE'RE SUPPLYING THE DOCUMENTS, WE'RE NOT DETERMINING THE CHARGE FOR THESE DOCUMENTS. SO DO YOU HAVE A METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHAT WE'RE CHARGING THE PUBLIC? YES. WHAT I'VE ASKED WHAT I'VE ASKED THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND ELECTED TO DO IS GIVE ME A ESTIMATE OF THE TIME THEY'VE SPENT ON THIS DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL, AND WE ALSO WORK WITH IT ON THAT. AND SO THE I THINK THE AMOUNT IS, I THINK 17 15 HOUR FOR LABOR AND FOR REGULAR EMPLOYEES, EVEN I CAN'T CHARGE FOR MYSELF, BUT OTHER EMPLOYEES CAN CHARGE FOR THAT. THEN I THINK IT'S 2850 FOR IT. SO THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLY BY THE NUMBER OF HOURS SPENT ON THAT. THAT'S WHAT YOU ASKED US. YOU ASKED US HOW MANY HOURS DID IT TAKE YOU OR YOUR STAFF TO PUT THIS TOGETHER? I DON'T THAT'S CORRECT. CHARGE. I DON'T SEND A BILL. OKAY. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE REQUESTED TO SUPPLY TEXT MESSAGES, THAT SEEMED TO CREATE A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR THE COUNTY, BECAUSE WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A METHOD OF EXTRACTING TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE PHONES. AND WE WENT AROUND AND AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME TRYING TO GET THE IT DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH THE AUDITOR, TO AGREE WHAT SOFTWARE TO PURCHASE. I IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THE FIRST SOFTWARE, THE COMPANY WOULD NOT WAIVE THE SALES TAX. SO WE HAD TO REGROUP AND GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY.

EVEN ONCE THAT WAS DONE, I GAVE THEM MY PHONE AND THEY GAVE ME BACK THE THUMB DRIVE WITH THE SUPPOSED RECORDS, AND THEY HAD LIKE SIX TEXT MESSAGES ON IT. SO I TOLD THEM WHATEVER THEY DID DIDN'T WORK, SO THEY HAD TO GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. WHATEVER FILE THE IT DEPARTMENT GAVE ME IS RECORDS. I TURNED AROUND AND SUBMITTED TO YOU. I DON'T CREATE RECORDS, I DON'T, I'M JUST GATHERING RECORDS. AND I SUBMIT THAT TO YOU. AND THEN UNDER YOUR PURVIEW, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DETERMINES IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE THAT SHOULDN'T BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE YOUR GATHERING OF CELL PHONE. SO I GATHER THE STUFF UP, I DELIVER IT TO YOU, AND YOU REVIEW ALL THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT SHOULDN'T BE RELEASED. AND AFTER YOU DO ALL THAT, THAT'S WHAT GETS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. IS THAT AND THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THE CELL PHONE? THERE'S BEEN A RECENT SPAT OF REQUESTS FOR CELL PHONE RECORDS, ESPECIALLY FROM ELECTEDS. AND THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WHEN THEY COMBINE YOUR CELL PHONE, YOU HAVE ONE CELL PHONE YOU USE FOR GOVERNMENT USE AND CELL PHONE USE, AND SO YOU HAVE PERSONAL TEXT MESSAGES IN THERE VERSUS GOVERNMENTAL TEXT MESSAGES. AND SO WE HAVE TO REALLY THE, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC HAS NO, NO, NO

[00:45:04]

INTEREST IN THE PERSONAL TEXT MESSAGES. SO THERE IS SOME COMBING OF THAT DATA. AND DURING THIS WHOLE EFFORT TO, TO SUPPLY THESE RECORDS, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, I ASKED YOU NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE WE WERE AT WITH THIS REQUEST. IF YOU'VE BEEN UPDATING THE REQUESTER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WAS DELAYS IN GETTING THIS DATA TO THEM. AND I BELIEVE ONCE I DID FINALLY ABLE TO GET ALL MY RECORDS AND I TURNED THEM OVER TO YOU, THAT YOU CONTINUED TO WAIT FOR THE OTHER TWO PREVIOUS COMMISSIONERS TO GIVE THEIR DATA AS WELL, BEFORE YOU THEN TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE REQUESTER, IF I IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR'S CELL PHONE REQUESTS? IT WAS A LONG, COMPLICATED PROCESS. I WOULD CALL IT AN ARDUOUS PROCESS. GETTING THE DATA FROM THE ELECTEDS. BUT IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, I, I SUPPLIED MY INFORMATION AND THEN YOU WAITED UNTIL YOU GOT THE OTHER TWO COMMISSIONERS AS WELL BEFORE YOU GAVE ALL THAT BACK TO YOU? YEAH, I THINK I ACTUALLY GAVE HER YOUR INFORMATION FIRST. THAT WAS LAST YEAR. I'VE GONE THROUGH HUNDREDS OF REQUESTS SINCE THEN, BUT MY MEMORY IS THAT I GAVE HER HERS FIRST OR YOURS FIRST? WHAT YOU PROVIDED TO ME. RIGHT. SO HOW MANY DO WE GOT PENDING? I'D HAVE TO GO COUNT, COMMISSIONER. OKAY.

AND FRANKLY, I'VE SAT DOWN WITH MRS. SINCE SHE SPOKE. I USE HER NAME. I'VE SAT DOWN WITH HER AND TRIED TO WORK THROUGH ALL THE REQUESTS. WE CAN DO THAT AGAIN. SO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, I'VE RESPONDED TO EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED OF ME. I'LL SIT DOWN WITH MISS WOODS.

WE'LL WORK IT OUT. ALL RIGHT? I JUST I THINK WE NEED TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AND AS. AS EASY. I AGREE WITH TRANSPARENCY. I THINK MAYBE NEXT MONDAY THAT WE CAN GET AN UPDATE AND KNOW HOW MANY ARE STILL PENDING. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. I THINK I REMEMBER IN THE PAST, I SAID IT'D BE NICE TO GET SOME SORT OF REPORT FROM YOU ON A MONTHLY BASIS MAYBE, OR SOMETHING OF JUST THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO NAMES OR DETAILS, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THIS COURT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED, BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES THAT LEADS US TO, HEY, MAYBE THERE'S AN ISSUE HERE WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF. SO I THINK IF YOU COULD SUMMARIZE SOME SORT OF REPORT, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS A, YOU KNOW, A MAJOR PROJECT, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU COULD REPORT BACK TO THE COURT. WELL, THERE'S ACTUALLY I GET REQUESTS FROM VENDORS ALL THE TIME. THERE'S ACTUALLY A SOFTWARE THAT CAN TRACK IT. BUT UNTIL UNTIL RECENTLY, I DIDN'T I THOUGHT THAT WAS SURPLUS SURPLUSES. BUT NOW THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN SO MANY REQUESTS FROM NOT JUST MRS. WITHERSPOON, BUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE COUNTY, IT'S IT'D BE GOOD TO HAVE SOME SORT OF REPORT THAT JUST LETS US KNOW WHAT ONES YOU'VE COMPLETED, HOW MANY ARE OUTSTANDING, WHAT THE TIMELINE IS, BECAUSE THERE IS A OBVIOUSLY A SPECIFIC TEN WORKING DAY DEADLINE THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ADHERE TO. AND OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY.
