[a. Presentation by Meliza Garcia, WIC Director, on Health & Human Services Commission Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Local Agency Contract #HHS001503400035 Notice of Award for 2026 in the amount of $1,293,229.]

2.4 A PRESENTATION BY MELISSA GARZA, WICK DIRECTOR ON HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION WOMEN'S, INFANTS AND CHILDREN WITH BETTER KNOWN AS WEAK LOCAL AGENCY CONTRACT HHS.

001503400035. NOTICE OF AWARD FOR THE 2026. IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE $101,293,229.

HELLO AND GOOD MORNING, JUDGE. COMMISSIONERS AND CONSTITUENTS.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE THE COURT THE SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, WHICH HAS RECEIVED THE 2026 NOTICE OF AWARD.

THE GRANT WILL COVER FROM OCTOBER 2025 TO SEPTEMBER 2026.

IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $1.3 MILLION. WE RECEIVED AN AMOUNT OF 816,000 FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, 174,000IN PEER COUNSELOR FUNDING, 20,000 FOR THE REGISTERED DIETITIAN WHO'S A CONTRACT EMPLOYEE, APPROXIMATELY $54,000 FOR OUR IB CLC, $50,000 FOR EXTRA FUNDING, AND SNAP-ED $40,000 FOR EXTRA FUNDING IN SNAP-ED BREASTFEEDING, 13,500 FOR THE SUMMER NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM, 26,600 FOR EXTRA FUNDING IN TEXAS.

TEXT AND INTERNET SERVICES 48,750 AN EXTRA FUNDING FOR NUTRITION EDUCATION AND $50,000 IN EXTRA FUNDING AND OTHER, WHICH TOTALS APPROXIMATELY 1.3 MILLION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THE PAMPHLET, THE PAPERWORK THAT I GAVE YOU, BREAKDOWN BREAKS DOWN BY EACH INDIVIDUAL POCKET OF MONEY AND WHAT IT'S BEING USED FOR.

ANY QUESTIONS? MOM? DAD! DOCTOR! MOMMY, I SEE YOU THERE.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY? JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. ABOUT 100,000 OF THIS IS NEW.

THAT'S AN INCREASE OVER OVER PREVIOUS, BASICALLY, FROM THINGS SHE HAS APPLIED FOR.

AND JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG, LONG TIME.

PRIOR TO HER COMING WICK HAD BEEN PLACED ON PROBATION, I THINK THREE TIMES.

AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, LIKE, FIVE DIRECTORS UNTIL SHE CAME.

AND SO SINCE SHE'S BEEN HERE, IT'S IT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT PROJECT, AND I'M VERY PROUD OF HER.

I KNOW YOU OVERSEE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND EVERYTHING.

OVERALL, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS A WHOLE. HOW'S IT RUNNING? GOT GOOD PEOPLE THERE. AND AND YOU KNOW, BASICALLY EVERY DEPARTMENT IS MY MAIN CONCERN NOW IS BUILDING OUR LITTLE VETERINARY CLINIC OUT BY OTA. THERE'S A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND I, I THINK GABE WILL CATCH YOU UP ON THAT, BUT THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.

I'M THERE EVERY WEEK AND TALK TO ALL THE DIRECTORS AND ALL.

SO WE'RE WE HAD SOME ISSUES OBVIOUSLY WITH IMMUNIZATION.

I THINK WE'VE GOT THOSE CORRECTED NOW. SO I'M PLEASED.

HOW IS THE I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN AUSTIN ABOUT FEP AND SOME OF THE OTHER GRANTS THAT ARE THERE.

[00:25:01]

HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING? I'VE NOT HEARD ANY NOTIFICATIONS. AND I TALKED TO MY BOSS IN HARLINGEN PRETTY REGULARLY.

WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH OUR SCOUT CAMP RECENTLY THAT I HAD TO VISIT WITH HER, AND SHE DIDN'T BRING ANYTHING LIKE THAT UP.

SO I THINK PROBABLY THIS YEAR WE WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN WASHINGTON WILL TAKE A WHILE TO TRICKLE DOWN, AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY ON, YOU KNOW, SNAP AND ALL THOSE VARIOUS THINGS THAT WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT.

IT'S JUST TOO SOON TO KNOW, SIR.

YEAH. IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING, JUST LET US KNOW SO WE CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR LEGISLATURE.

YOU'LL BE THE SECOND TO KNOW.

YEAH, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS WE NEED HERE TO KEEP HERE IN THE COUNTY.

LET'S SEE. ALL OF THEM WE DO.

IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.

RIGHT. IT IS. MR.. OKAY. I ASKED MELISSA, I CAME IN AND ASKED ME IF SHE COULD COME IN AND GIVE THIS PRESENTATION TO THE COURT SO Y'ALL CAN SEE WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT ALL THIS MONEY IS THAT SHE GETS IN ALL THESE GRANTS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO.

AND, I MEAN, SHE CAN GIVE YOU A NOTEBOOK, FIVE BINDER RING, NOTEBOOK FULL OF STUFF AS TO WHAT SHE DOES WITH THOSE FUNDS AND STUFF.

SO ANYTIME Y'ALL HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ANYTHING THAT GOES ON IN ANY OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS OVER THERE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, GO OVER THERE AND TALK TO THE DEPARTMENT HEAD.

IF YOU WANT DOCTOR MOBLEY TO BE THERE. YOU JUST NEED TO CONTACT HIM.

HE WILL BE WITH YOU BECAUSE HE'S GONE OVER A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I'VE HAD SOME ISSUES OVER THERE, AND WE'VE SAT DOWN AND TALKED AND WORKED STUFF OUT AND GOT AN EXPLANATION OF WHY THINGS ARE GOING ON OVER THERE.

SO PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, GO OVER THERE AND VISIT.

AND THEN IF WE NEED TO, WE CAN BRING IT TO COURT LATER ON OR SOMETHING IF YOU NEED TO.

BUT MOST OF THE TIMES YOU WILL GET AN ANSWER.

I MEAN DOCTOR MOBLEY OR THE DEPARTMENT.

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME BY AND VISIT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE WORK AREA. WE'RE DOING A GARDEN IN THE ON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND ALL OUR PROJECTS THAT WE, WE HAVE GOING ON. YEAH. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME VISIT.

SO I WAS OVER THERE THE OTHER DAY AND I WAS THREATENING TO STEAL SOME PEPPERS OFF THE PEPPERS.

YEAH. THE PEPPER. YEAH. IS THAT IS THAT THE ONLY GARDENING PROGRAM THEY'VE GOT GOING? I MEAN.

I'M ACTUALLY HERE FOR HIRING A PART TIME TEMPORARY POSITION THAT WILL BE DOING THE GARDEN ON THE SIDE WHERE THE ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THERE WILL BE AN EXTENSIVE GARDEN THERE.

I KNOW THERE WAS A PLOT OF LAND OVER BY THE BY THE NEW DOME, THAT THEY WERE LIKE A COMMUNITY GARDEN TYPE THING.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL GOING OR NOT.

WELL, WE HAD PLOTS THERE, AND THEN WHEN THE DOME WAS BUILT, THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO HAVE THE GARDEN THERE ANYMORE.

TERRIBLE.

YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT WHICH YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS ANY BUILDING THEY'RE IN, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO UPGRADE. SO A NUMBER OF TIMES AND CURRENTLY ARE ONE IN THE PAST BASICALLY, WHICH IS PAYING FOR THE ENTIRE UPGRADE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BE TRANSFERRED TO THE COUNTY.

SO WE JUST RECEIVE A HECK OF A LOT OF BENEFIT.

WE'VE HAD UPGRADES WITH THE MAIN HEALTH DEPARTMENT THERE.

IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING PROGRAM. DON'T TELL ANYBODY.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING.

WHO KNOWS? SEEING HOW WE'RE RIGHT NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF HURRICANE SEASON, I, I JUST WONDERED, I, I. YOU TOOK THESE WEAK WAREHOUSES THAT WE HAVE WON IN MATH, THIS ONE IN THE PAST HERE AND ONE HERE IN SEATTLE.

AND WE'RE KEEPING A GOOD INVENTORY, RIGHT? WELL, WE ONLY HAVE ONE WAREHOUSE.

NO.

YEAH, WE HAVE WE HAVE CLINIC CLINICS. YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

BUT AS FAR AS THE WAREHOUSE GOES, WE'RE KEEPING A GOOD INVENTORY. GOOD.

I GET NERVOUS WHEN IT GETS HURRICANES. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT YOU CAN'T IMAGINE.

RIGHT? RIGHT. OKAY.

WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING IN.

2.4 B IS PRESENTATION BY THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE.

[b. Presentation by Commemorative Air Force and possible consideration and action on a request for reduction in rent/suspension of ground lease at Ingleside Regional Airport McCampbell-Porter Field.]

AND POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON THE REQUEST FOR REDUCTION IN RENT.

SUPPRESSION OF GROUND LEASE AT THE INGLESIDE REGIONAL AIRPORT.

CAMPBELL. PORTERFIELD. GARY, YOU WANT TO LEAD IT OFF FOR HIM OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT? OR IF THEY'VE TALKED TO YOU? OR DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING FIRST? WELL, GARY AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND HE HAD A PRETTY GOOD IDEA, AND I AGREE WITH IT.

SO WE'LL LET THEM GIVE THEIR PRESENTATION. LET HIM TALK ABOUT IT FIRST.

YEAH. GARY, JUST GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS MORNING.

SO WHERE THEY'RE AT THEY HAVE SOME FINANCIAL DISPARITIES WITH THEIR BUILDINGS PAID FOR.

SO IT'S A GROUND LEASE RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE AT TEN $0.10 A SQUARE FOOT. IT'S 51,200FT².

SO ANNUALLY IT'S 5100 OR $20 A YEAR. SO THEY'VE HAD SOME CATASTROPHIC.

IF YOU ALL HAVE READ THE THE NARRATIVE. SO THEIR BUILDINGS PAID FOR, THEY HAVE A LOAN FOR THE ENGINE ON THE STEARMAN, WHICH IS THE WORLD WAR TWO TRAINER THAT THEY USE EXTENSIVELY OUT THERE.

AND JUST SOME OF THEIR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS HAVEN'T COME TO FRUITION TO PAY WITH THEIR UTILITIES AND THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP.

[00:30:07]

SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR RENT REDUCTION SLASH SUSPENSION.

BUT WHAT I THINK WE WOULD RATHER PROPOSE IS A DEFERMENT IF WE WANT TO DEFER IT, WHICH MEANS THEY STILL OWE IT.

SO WE'RE NOT GIVING FAVORITISM TO ANY ENTITY ON THE FIELD, AND THE FAA DOES ALLOW FOR A REDUCTION AS FAR AS NONPROFITS AND MUSEUMS FOR LESS THAN MARKET VALUE, WHICH WE HAVE NOW.

SO IF WE DO A DEFERMENT FOR 25 AND 26, THEY WILL HAVE A RATE INCREASE BASED ON THEIR LEASE AGREEMENT IN 27.

AND GIVEN THE PAST HISTORY, IT'S ABOUT $0.02 A SQUARE FOOT BASED ON HOW THE LEASE AGREEMENT WAS WRITTEN.

SO THEN THEY WOULD HAVE IT IN 27. THOSE TWO YEARS, 25 AND 26 WOULD BE DUE WITH THEIR REGULAR ANNUAL INCREASE.

THAT'LL GO TO ABOUT $0.12. SO STILL ABOUT 5600.

THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION VERSUS A RENT REDUCTION FOR THE TWO YEARS OR A SUSPENSION, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE THE COUNTY IS STILL RECEIVING IT.

AND I THINK THAT'S STILL IN THE LEGAL REALM TO BE ABLE TO DO A DEFERMENT VERSUS A BASICALLY A 50% REDUCTION IN RENT BASED ON THEIR CONTRACT RATE.

ARE YOU ASKING.

ME? YES.

WELL, YOU'RE ON THE SPOT, BUT IT'S KIND OF A DEFERMENT.

LOOKS BETTER TO ME THAN JUST A FLAT OUT REDUCTION.

HONESTLY, I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. I HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO IT AND I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT.

IT SOUNDS IT SOUNDS REASONABLE TO ME, BUT I'D CERTAINLY WANT TO LOOK INTO IT BEFORE I GIVE ANY OPINION.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND TABLE THIS IN UNTIL HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF IT.

MOTION TO TABLE.

BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION, I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF REPRESENTATIVES OR ONE FROM THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE RIGHT HERE.

WE HAVE.

WE HAVE TWO HERE THAT HAVE.

THE.

PRESENTATION IF THEY WISH TO.

MA'AM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? SURE.

WHAT? WHAT THEY, YOU KNOW, PRESENTING TO US.

I LIVE IN INGLESIDE. AND GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF YOU IN THE COURT.

I'M FRANCES.

SAWYER.

I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO US THIS MORNING.

YOU PROBABLY. I DON'T SEE IT UP HERE, BUT I THINK MAYBE YOU HAVE OUR BUDGET.

I'M GOING TO. I'M GOING TO ROUND THE FIGURES OFF FOR YOU.

WE TAKE IN APPROXIMATELY $1,000 A MONTH. AND THAT IS ONLY IF THAT STEARMAN PLANE PLANE ACTUALLY FLIES ONCE DURING THE MONTH, WHICH THERE'S SEVERAL MONTHS THAT NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY.

FLY AND THAT FABULOUS PLANE. BUT THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY IS A PANCAKE BREAKFAST ONCE A MONTH, AND THAT'S OUR THAT'S OUR INCOME. THEN WE DO FUNDRAISERS.

WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING A FUNDRAISER RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOWLING TOURNAMENT.

HOWEVER THAT BRINGS, I'M HOPING, $5,000, BUT THAT'S ONLY $5,000, WHICH ACTUALLY GETS US ABOUT TWO MONTHS OF EXPENSES. SO IN THE MEANTIME, OUR TREASURER IS WORKING ON GRANTS BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO STAY THERE AT ALL IS, IS THE THE GENEROSITY OF DIFFERENT GRANT ORGANIZATIONS.

SO WE ARE WORKING ON A GRANT. WE DO NOT HAVE ONE NOW.

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S LOOKING RATHER BLEAK FOR US RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE HOPEFULLY WE CAN WE CAN MAKE OUR MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS IN JANUARY. BUT RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT.

IF YOU LOOKED AT OUR EXPENSES YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S NOTHING THERE FOR ADVERTISING, WHICH IS A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE DETRIMENT TO US. WE WE DEPEND ON THE TWO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S THE INGLESIDE AND THE KANSAS PASS.

THEY DO. THEY DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF WHEN WE HAVE EVENTS THAT THEY WILL PUT THAT OUT IN OUR NEWSLETTER.

THEN WE DEPEND ON CHRIS TV. THEY'VE BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE COMING THIS WEEK AND THEY'RE GOING TO ADVERTISE OUR FUNDRAISER.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, JUST LIKE A LOT OF OTHER CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAVE A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME MAINTAINING.

IT'S ALL RUN BY VOLUNTEERS. NOBODY RECEIVES A SALARY.

THERE ARE SEVERAL OF US THAT ARE NOT EVEN. WE DON'T EVEN RECEIVE OUR OUR GAS MONEY.

BUT ANYWAY IT IS A I THINK JUST RECENTLY IT'S BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC MORE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE A STRONG MILITARY. AND THIS MUSEUM HONORS AND INSPIRES PEOPLE TO SUPPORT

[00:35:07]

THE MILITARY. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE A WALL OF SOME 66 PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE RECOGNIZED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. THEY ALL HAVE TO BE FROM SOUTH TEXAS.

THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT ALL ALL OF THEM IN COMBAT.

BUT THEY HAVE SERVED HONORABLY IN THE MILITARY.

AND WE NEED TO KEEP THAT KNOWLEDGE BEFORE THE PUBLIC.

WE WE DO TOURS WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN WHENEVER THEY WE CAN GET REQUESTS.

SO WE TRY TO ADVERTISE THAT WE DO TOURS FOR ADULTS.

WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR ANY OF THAT. THE ONLY THING WE CHARGE FOR IS OCCASIONALLY WE HAVE EVENTS LIKE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INGLESIDE HAD THEIR CHRISTMAS PARTY OUT THERE, AND IT'S A VERY NEAT VENUE TO HAVE A PARTY.

AND WE DO CHARGE FOR THAT. THE ROTARIANS HAD A MEETING OUT THERE, AND WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE DO CHARGE. BUT OTHER THAN TOURS AND PEOPLE COMING OUT THERE, THERE'S NO CHARGE.

SO I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER EITHER. I HAD HEARD ABOUT GARY'S IDEA, BUT IF YOU THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO GO, EITHER THAT OR A RENT REDUCTION, I WILL TELL YOU THAT ORIGINALLY, WHEN THAT HANGAR WAS BUILT AND IT WAS ALL BUILT WITH PRIVATE FUNDS, THE AIRPORT DOES NOT OWN ANYTHING OF THE ACTUAL BUILDING ITSELF.

BUT THE LAND, OF COURSE, BELONGS TO THE AIRPORT.

AND AT THE TIME, THE COMMISSIONER AT THE TIME THAT WAS BUILT ACTUALLY HAD NO LEASE.

AND IT'S ONLY GARY CAN TELL YOU WHEN IT STARTED THAT YOU, THE NEW COMMISSIONER, DECIDED WE NEEDED TO HAVE A LEASE ON THAT.

SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE WHATEVER, WHATEVER PATH YOU THINK IS BEST, AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

AND WE INVITE YOU TO COME VISIT US.

THANK YOU. GOOD.

I'VE BEEN OUT THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR YOUR BREAKFAST. VERY GOOD BREAKFAST.

SIR. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. THE THE ONE YEAR YOU HELD A A FUNDRAISER ON THE LEXINGTON AND I BELIEVE MAXINE FLOURNOY WAS THERE AND EVERYTHING.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I BELIEVE IT WAS FOR THE MUSEUM.

OKAY. I HAVE BEEN A VOLUNTEER AT THE LEXINGTON FOR ALMOST SIX YEARS NOW.

AND THAT FUNDRAISER ON THE LEXINGTON WAS BEFORE BEFORE I WAS THERE, SO I CANNOT SPEAK ABOUT THAT.

THE LEXINGTON DOES SUPPORT US. I AM A VOLUNTEER ON THE LEXINGTON AS WELL, AND THEY DO SUPPORT US ON OUR ACTIVITIES.

JERRY'S BEEN OUT THERE AND ALSO STEVE BANNON, THEY'VE BEEN THERE.

BUT AS FAR AS MONETARILY AND NO, WE'VE NOT HAD ANY FUNDRAISERS ON THE LEXINGTON IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

OKAY. WELL, YOU KNOW, THE THE JUDGE'S SECRETARY AND I WERE THERE THAT YEAR AND IT WAS A VERY WELL ATTENDED FUNDRAISER, AND I THINK IT DID WELL FOR THEM. YOU TO GO BACK AND CHECK AND SEE IF MAYBE YOU CAN ARRANGE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WELL.

WELL, THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA. I'LL NEXT TIME I'M OUT THERE, WE'LL TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT.

OKAY. I GOT A MOTION BY SIKORSKI, SECONDED BY LSP, TO TABLE.

THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. AND WE'LL HAVE WE'LL HAVE GARY OR COMMISSIONER LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT COMES BACK UP ONTO THE AGENDA.

MAYBE NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER.

WE'LL SEE. RIGHT. WE'LL GET TO IT AS SOON AS WE CAN.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. OKAY. OKAY. 2.4 C IS A REQUEST FROM AUDITOR'S OFFICE TO GO OUT FOR RFP FOR THE

[c. Request auditor's office to go out for RFP for the remodel of the Sinton Airport Terminal building.]

REMODEL OF THE SINTON AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING.

GARY, YOU WANT TO GIVE US THE BACKGROUND ON THAT, PLEASE? WELL, IT'S 1967, AND IT NEEDS SOME UPDATES. THAT'S A SHORT VERSION.

YOU WENT ON FOR SOME BIDS AND.

WELL, WE DID SOME BIDS AND AND THE AUDITORS MR. HOMER AND I AND THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE LOOKED AT IT.

AND THIS DISPARITIES OF THE BIDS WERE SO FAR APART THAT BETWEEN THE COMMISSIONER AND THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, WE FELT IT WAS MORE FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO DO THE SEALED BIDS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN BRING THAT INTO MORE LINE.

YEAH. BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO GO. YOU KNOW, IF WE KEEP IT UNDER 50,000 OR WHATEVER, THAT'S FINE.

BUT PEOPLE TRY TO KEEP IT UNDER THERE AND THEN THEY WANT CHANGE ORDERS LATER, STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO WE JUST FIGURED A SEALED BID WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER WAY TO GO.

SOUNDS GOOD.

OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND NO DISCUSSION.

I'LL REQUEST THAT THE AUDITORS GO OUT FOR AN RFP FOR THE REMODEL OF AN AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING.

THAT IS A MOTION, SIR.

SECOND. SECOND.

OKAY. MICHAEL GILLESPIE, SECONDED BY JORDAN. I BELIEVE I.

HEARD.

[00:40:01]

THREE VOICES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THAT WAS DEFINITELY SECONDED.

YES.

HEARING NONE. ALL OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.

AYE AYE AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED SAME SIGN OKAY. MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MISS DAVIS.

[d. Discussion, consideration and action on request from Ruben Gonzales, Commissioner, Pct 3 to enter into an Interlocal Agreement between San Patricio County, Pct 3 and City of Odem.]

AYE. 2.4 D IS DISCUSSION CONSIDERATION ACTION REQUEST FROM RUBEN GONZALEZ.

COMMISSIONER. PRECINCT THREE TO ENTER INTO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAN PATRICIA COUNTY PRECINCT THREE AND THE CITY OF ODOM.

COMMISSIONER.

YES. WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MOU WITH THE CITY OF ODUM TO SEE WHAT WE CAN HELP THEM WITH AS FAR AS THE LAW ALLOWS.

AND I'M REAL.

BRIEFLY, YOUR HONOR. IT'S A IT'S AN MOU THAT I DRAFTED.

IT'S A BASICALLY OUT OF HORN BOOK. IT'S IT'S THE SAME FOLLOWS THE SAME PATTERN THAT WE USED FOR THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

IT'S A VERY VAGUE MOU. IT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT I CALL AN AGREEMENT TO AGREE.

IT FOLLOWS THE GOVERNMENT CODE. IT'S THE FIRST REQUIREMENT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ILA TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

AND SO, JOSH, CAN YOU PULL UP THAT, THAT THE AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH THE CITY OF A PROPOSED AGREEMENT.

IS IT AN INTERLOCAL OR IS IT AN MOU? IT'S AN MOU OR COMMISSIONER. IT SAYS INTERLOCAL.

IT'S THE SAME THING. ESSENTIALLY, INTERLOCAL. INTERLOCAL IS THE TECHNICAL TERM FOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND A CITY.

NOW CAN YOU GO TO. CAN YOU GO TO PAGE TWO PLEASE? THE KEY TO THIS, IF YOU GO TO PARAGRAPH TWO THAT SAYS SAN PATRICIO COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES.

HERE'S THE REASON I CALL IT AN AGREEMENT TO AGREE. UNDER SUBSECTION B IT SAYS WE HAVE NO SPECIFIC PROJECT THAT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THIS THIS AGREEMENT. IT'S PROPOSED AGREEMENT. AND SO ONCE THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROJECT IDENTIFIED IN THIS THE COMMISSIONERS COURT, SAN PATRICIA WILL HAVE IT. IF YOU GO UP A LITTLE BIT FIRST, IT SAYS THE CITY WILL IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALLY AND WITH OTHER PROJECT NOMINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. SO THE CITIES CAN IDENTIFY THE PROJECT AND WILL PRESENT IT TO COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ WILL PRESENT IT UNDER TO BE PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AND LET THE COMMISSIONERS COURT APPROVE IT. SO THAT WILL ALSO BE THE MORE SPECIFIC INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

AND SO BASICALLY THIS IS JUST A GENERAL AGREEMENT SAYING, LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE SPECIFIC PROJECTS TO BE AGREED UPON BY THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AT A LATER DATE.

WELL, I'M NOT A LAWYER AND I'M NOT A POLITICIAN UP THERE IN AUSTIN.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY PROBLEMS IS WHEN I READ THROUGH THIS TRANSPORTATION CODE AND YOU GET INTO SECTION 251 .012, WHICH BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, IS A COUNTY AUTHORITY AND A MUNICIPALITY IS AND IT GOES ON IN LENGTH AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE WHOLE THING.

BUT IF YOU GO BACK A FEW MORE PAGES, IT GOES IN ASSISTING OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES.

AND IT KIND OF ONE KIND OF IT IT READS, IT READS.

I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE WORD ONE OVERRIDES THE OTHER.

IT'S. IF I MAY, COMMISSIONER. WE'VE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS EXTENSIVELY.

OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT THERE YET. NO PROJECT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THIS, THIS CASE.

BUT I'M STILL SAYING.

HOWEVER, THERE'S THERE'S SEVERAL AG OPINIONS ON THE TRANSPORTATION CODE SECTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

012. AND THERE'S ALSO 015, RIGHT. AND 015 IS THE ONE THAT LIMITS IT TO $15,000.

THAT'S CORRECT. AND AND THE OTHER ONE IS IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BLANK CHECK.

SO I THINK OUR LEGISLATURES NEED TO LOOK AT THIS UP THERE IN AUSTIN.

MAYBE NOT. YOU KNOW AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. BUT IN TWO MORE YEARS IT NEEDS TO BE IT'S CLEAR AS MUD.

I COMPLETELY AGREE ON THAT. IT'S A IN FACT IF YOU START.

BUT LET'S BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE SPECIFICALLY ROAD PROJECTS, RIGHT? OF COURSE, THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IS NOT RESTRICTED TO ROAD PROJECTS RIGHT NOW.

IF LATER ON THE COMMITTEE I CAN HELP HIM WITH LATER ON AGREEMENTS.

BUT IF HE DECIDES TO HAVE A ROAD PROJECT, WE CAN GO THROUGH THE TECHNICALITIES OF THAT AND MAKE SURE IT COMPLIES WITH THE LAW.

I WILL POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE ALSO CONFLICTING ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINIONS ON THAT TRANSPORTATION CODE, ON THOSE TRANSPORTATION CODE SUBSECTIONS REFERRING TO, IN OTHER WORDS, 012 HAS SOME INTERPRETATION AND 0.5 HAS OTHER INTERPRETATIONS AS CLEAR AS MUD.

WELL WE CAN. I THINK WE NEED TO GET OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE INVOLVED AND BASICALLY DISCUSS THIS IN IN A GENERAL MEETING BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN UP THERE AND STRAIGHTENED OUT. AND I THINK ALL COUNTIES WOULD BENEFIT FROM HAVING MORE CLARITY WHEN WE HAVE TO DO THESE MOUS OR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS, WHATEVER THEY ARE. BUT RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT STANDS, ONE CONTRADICTS THE OTHER.

I AGREE WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER, THAT THE TRANSPORTATION CODES ON THAT LINK SPECIFY WITH REGARD TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION BY COUNTIES, WITH CITIES, IT'S IT'S FAIRLY COMPLEX. AND YOU ALSO START TALKING ABOUT NOT JUST THE AMOUNT,

[00:45:04]

BUT ALSO ARE THE ROADS INTEGRALLY CONNECTED? THE CITY ROADS INTEGRAL INTEGRAL INTEGRALLY CONNECTED TO THE COUNTY ROADS.

WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND IT WAS APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE IN 1995, $15,000 IN 1995 WAS PROBABLY A LOT OF MONEY. IT WAS TO ME IN 2025. WE'RE TALKING 30 YEARS LATER.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE NEED WE NEED SOMETHING.

BUT LET ME LET ME POINT OUT, SINCE THERE WERE SOME STATEMENTS BY THE CITY COUNCIL, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO FIX ALL THE ROADS THIS LET ME CLEAR THIS UP.

THIS IS NOT AN AGREEMENT TO FIX THE ROADS OF ODEM AT THIS POINT.

THIS IS MERELY AN AGREEMENT TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC SPECIAL PROJECTS THAT WE CAN AGREE UPON LATER.

I THINK. SAL, YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND WHAT YOU PERCEIVE BY THE CODES THAT WE HAVE? SAL IS THE CITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF ODUM.

GOOD MORNING. IT'S THE CITY'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL FUTURE PROJECTS. CAN'T CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE SAY ON FACEBOOK OR SOCIAL MEDIA.

ANYTHING THAT COMES FROM THE CITY OFFICIALLY IS FROM THE CITY FACEBOOK PAGE OR WEBSITE.

I'VE WORKED WITH MISTER DORSEY ON THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

OF COURSE, WE DO HAVE SOME PROJECTS. WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT.

HAND UP. MORE LIKE IT. WE DO HAVE SOME FUNDS.

AND IF WE CAN GET A BETTER DEAL FOR SOME PROJECTS THROUGH THE COUNTY WE PURSUE THAT, BUT WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE LAW AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. BUT LIKE I SAID, THIS IS I UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE THE FIRST STEP IN FUTURE PROJECTS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T HAVE.

ANY. NO. NO. THAT'S CORRECT. I'M HERE TO HELP OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN.

STAY WITHIN THE LAW AND SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO, CHRIS, YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED WITH DRAFTING THIS, I ASSUME FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEW.

YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH.

THIS? YES, SIR. THIS COMPLIES WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND TEXAS STATE LAW.

AND AT SOME POINT, WE'LL SEE THESE ACTUAL PROJECTS WHEN THEY'RE IDENTIFIED BACK IN FRONT OF THE COURT.

YES, SIR. YES, MA'AM.

JUST LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. YEAH, WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST.
