WELL, AND I WAS WITH MOST OF Y'ALL LAST WEEK UP AT THE CONFERENCE IN AUSTIN LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE. SO WENT WELL. LEARNED A LOT. IT WAS GOOD TO GO. WE GOT A BRUSH CLEANUP AND COUNTY ROAD 2399. COUNTY ROAD 2431. THE AREA WE'RE PROCESSING THE ROAD. COUNTY ROAD 1038, IN MATHIS. WE STARTED A NEW PROCESSING OF A ROAD OF COUNTY ROAD 1510 AND ODOM. WE GET THAT. WE DID THE SECOND COURSE OF THE CHIP SEAL IN 1740 AND MCGLONE ROAD, OLD SAN PATRICIO. WE PAVED THE SECOND COAT OF MCMULLEN ROAD, ALSO IN OLD SAN PATRICIO, AND WE RECEIVED 2000 TONS OF LIMESTONE. COUNTY ROAD 188 YARD.WE GOT CULVERT INSTALLATION, COUNTY ROAD 1856 ODOM, AND ALSO IN COUNTY ROAD 2313 AND SINTON.
WE'RE DOING BLADE WORK IN 1839 502, IN THE SAINT PAUL AREA. AND WE'RE MOWING IN THE ODOM AND WEST SITTING AREA. WE REMOVED TREES THAT HAD FALLEN DOWN WITH THE STRONG WIND THAT WE HAD COME IN AT 1246 AND SINTON, AND WE'RE INSTALLING SIGNS IN A LAKESHORE GARDEN, MATHIS AREA AND COUNTY ROAD 2349, SINTON. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. MACY. EARLY MORNING, JUDGE. MORNING, EVERYBODY. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. IT'S KIND OF NICE TO GET AN EXTRA DAY, WHICH MEANS NOW YOU HAVE FOUR DAYS TO GET FIVE DAYS WORTH OF WORK DONE. SO THAT WORKS OUT GOOD. I WILL SAY THE.
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES CONFERENCE. THERE'S ALWAYS A FEW THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO.
THAT IS ONE OF THE CONFERENCES THAT SEEMS TO BE WELL WORTHWHILE ATTENDING A COUPLE DIFFERENT LEVELS. IT'S GOOD FOR NETWORKING WITH OUR OTHER COUNTIES. THERE'S ALWAYS A FEW PEOPLE THAT THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY OPPORTUNITIES I GET TO SEE THEM, AND IT'S GOOD, I THINK, FOR OUR OWN COUNTY TO INTERACT OUTSIDE OF OUR TYPICAL WORKING HOURS. SO I DID APPRECIATE THAT.
AND THERE WERE SEVERAL SESSIONS OF PRESENTATIONS I THOUGHT WERE VERY WORTHWHILE THIS TIME. SO GOOD JOB ALL AROUND. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, JUDGE. I ALSO ENJOYED THE CONFERENCE LAST WEEK, AND I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN WITH ONE OF THE HUD PEOPLE THAT WAS SENT DOWN FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. WAS TEXAS LADY, AND I KIND OF EXPLAINED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF OUR WATER WARS. NOW, WHAT DOES HUD HAVE TO DO WITH WATER WARS AND STUFF AND THE WATER DISTRICT? YOU GOT TO BUILD HOUSES IN ORDER TO HAVE THOSE HOUSES UP THERE. THEY GOTTA HAVE WATER. AND I KIND OF EXPLAINED TO HER THAT, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A DEALING WITH THE JAPANESE WANTING TO INVEST $1 TRILLION INTO OUR COUNTRY. I SAID, YOU TALK TO HIM, SAY, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO BUILD SOME DESAL PLANTS ALONG OUR COAST, THEY'VE BEEN DOING DESAL PROBABLY SINCE BEFORE WORLD WAR ONE, AND THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH AN EXPERTS IN IT. AND THEY'VE GOT $1 TRILLION TO INVEST. WE'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE THEM COME DOWN HERE AND BUILD A DESAL PLANT. SHE WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED, SO HOPEFULLY I'LL TAKE THAT BACK TO WASHINGTON THIS WEEK. GENTLEMAN FINALLY SHOWED UP THIS MORNING TO FROM FORT WORTH TO WORK ON MY ZIPPER.
THAT'S THAT'S REALLY GOOD. AND DO YOU WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ FOR LOANING ME ONE OF HIS. WE'RE GOING TO BE FINISHED IN 1438 HOPEFULLY TODAY. GETTING OIL OUT THERE AND STUFF AND GETTING THAT ROAD FINISHED TODAY. AND WE'RE OUT THERE TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE GRASS CUTTING, BECAUSE IN MY HOUSE WE HAD AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN AND WE
[00:05:02]
THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR IT. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. AS I SAID, WE WERE UP IN AUSTIN MOST OF THE WEEK. AS OF YESTERDAY, OVER 800 BILLS LAWS WENT INTO EFFECT YESTERDAY AND I DON'T EXPECT, I DON'T KNOW, HALF OF THEM OR A THIRD OF THEM OR A QUARTER OF THEM. BUT UP AT A CONFERENCE, UP AT THE CONFERENCE, I KNOW ONE OF THEM THAT THEY REALLY HIT ON WAS THE SQUATTERS. AND REMOVING THESE PEOPLE FROM EVICTION NOTICES. AND CONSTABLE'S, Y'ALL GOING TO HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL. ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE ASAP. AS SOON AS THAT IS FILED. I THINK Y'ALL GOT 3 TO 5 DAYS, I THINK, TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AND STUFF. SO IT'S GOING TO PUT A LOAD ON THE CONSTABLES AND STUFF. AND THEN OF COURSE WE GOT THE NEW LAW THAT AFFECTS US AS A COUNTY COURT OF THREE DAYS BEFORE WE HAVE TO HAVE POSTED THREE DAYS BEFORE OUR MEETING, NOT INCLUDING WEEKENDS. SO THE BUDGET, I MEAN, THE AGENDA IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE POSTED NOW WEDNESDAYS OF EACH WEEK, WHICH MEANS Y'ALL GOING TO HAVE TO BE GETTING INFORMATION IN MONDAY, NO LATER THAN TUESDAY TO GET ON THE AGENDA STUFF. AND THEN I PRACTICED OVER THE WEEKEND. I WENT ON ENCODES AND PUT ALL THAT STUFF IN FOR YOU TODAY, BECAUSE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS PROBABLY SEND SOME KIND OF MEMO OUT OR GET THE AUDITORS TO SEND A MEMO OUT SAYING, IF YOU GOT AN ENCODE THAT YOU NEED ME TO APPROVE, YOU NEED TO GET THAT OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON SO I CAN GET THEM TAKEN CARE OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OR I'LL GET THEM TAKEN CARE OF OVER THE WEEKEND. DO THEY NEED OR ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE TO BE OVER THE WEEKEND, PATRICK OR CAN WE? I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DO THEM ON FRIDAY. NO, YOU CAN DO A WEEKEND AS LONG AS WE GET THEM. OUR DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT NOON FOR OKAY. WELL, THEY'LL ALL BE READY FOR YOU MONDAY AT NOON IF THE DEPARTMENTS GET THEM IN BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THAT'LL BE ONE OF MY FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR SUNDAY AFTERNOON CHORES TO GET THEM DONE. OKAY. PLUS A LOT OF THE OTHER BILLS WE DIDN'T GET TO HEAR FROM TOO MANY OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OR SENATORS, AND WE DIDN'T GET TO HEAR THEM FROM A PERIOD THAT'S STILL IN IN A SESSION, AND THEY START BACK UP TODAY, I THINK AT 10:00 THIS MORNING, BACK INTO THE SESSION AND STUFF. SO WE'LL SEE.WE'LL THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE HAVE IS A COUNTY THAT'S STILL ON THE BOOKS IS GOING TO BE OUR CONSULTANTS, WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CONSULTANTS IN AND IN AUSTIN OR NOT. THE CAP, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, HAS BEEN MOVED DOWN NOW TO 1% ON THE AGENDA, WHETHER THAT GOES THROUGH OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW, BUT A ONE, 2.5% CAP WILL HURT US. 1% CAP IS DEFINITELY GOING TO KILL US. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'LL DO IF THAT GOES THROUGH, BUT THAT'S WHAT IN COURT IN MIDDLETON, THEY'RE JUST TOTALLY AFTER COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES AND THEREAFTER THEM AND THEY'RE HARD AT IT TRYING TO PUT US DOWN. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
OUT OF ALL OF THAT. HOPEFULLY SOME OF THAT IS DONE THIS WEEK. THE 13TH OF SEPTEMBER IS THEIR FINAL DAY FOR THIS SESSION. THE GOVERNOR DID ANNOUNCE THAT IF IT'S NOT COMPLETED ON THE 13TH, THAT HE WILL BE CALLING ANOTHER SESSION. SO WE'LL SEE HOW ALL THAT WORKS OUT IN AUSTIN. IT'S GETTING TO BE GETTING TO BE INTERESTING TO TAKE CARE OF AND WATCH, LET ME TELL YOU. SO OKAY.
