[1. Call meeting to order]
[00:00:09]

WE'VE LOST, REPORTEDLY, I THINK FOUR PILOTS AS OF THIS MORNING. SO LET'S PRAY FOR THE OTHER PILOTS AND EVERYBODY THAT'S OVER THERE THAT'S PROTECTING THIS GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE HAVE, PROTECTING THE EVIL FROM COMING OVER HERE. SO A MOMENT OF SILENCE, PLEASE.
THANK YOU. WE'LL HAVE THE PLEDGES. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. HONOR OUR PLEDGE. ALLEGIANCE TO THEE.
TEXAS. ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE. OKAY. THANK YOU. WE'LL GET ROLLING HERE THIS MORNING. MAYBE A LITTLE LENGTHY. WE'LL SEE. FIRST OF ALL, CITIZENS TO BE HEARD. I DO
[3. Citizens to be heard]
HAVE THREE CARDS THIS MORNING, AND I'LL CALL THEM UP IN THE ORDER THAT I GOT THEM. WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, IF YOU'LL COME TO THE PODIUM, GIVE US YOUR NAME AND THE PRECINCT THAT YOU LIVE IN. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO. FIRST ONE I HAVE IS FROM BRANT CASEY. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS BRANT CASEY. I LIVE AT 7329 COUNTY ROAD 2347, SINTON, TEXAS. THIS MORNING I'D LIKE TO GO OVER SOMETHING. IT'S CALLED RECYCLING. IMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE OUR INDUSTRIAL, AGRICULTURE, LANDSCAPING, WATER NEEDS ARE MET WITHOUT TAPPING INTO OUR DWINDLING DRINKING WATER. THIS ISN'T FUTURISTIC CONCEPT. IT IS REALITY WE MUST EMBRACE. RIGHT HERE IN SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, WHERE OFTEN FOCUSED ON THE NEEDS TO CONSERVE. BUT WE MUST ALSO FOCUS ON HOW TO REUSE EVERY DAY OUR SEWER PLANTS TREAT WASTEWATER BEFORE RELEASING IT BACK INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT. INSTEAD OF TREATING THAT WATER LIKE WASTE, WE SHOULD BE TREATING IT AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE. BY IMPLEMENTING ADVANCED WATER RECYCLING, WE CAN CONVERT TREATED SEWAGE EFFLUENT INTO HIGH QUALITY RECLAIMED WATER, AS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE SAN PATRICIO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT. THE POLISHING PROCESS ALLOWS THE SAME WATER TO BE USED MULTIPLE TIMES FIRST FOR OUR HOMES, THEN POTENTIALLY FOR INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OR IRRIGATION. THIS APPROACH OFFERS THREE MAJOR BENEFITS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF TREATED WASTEWATER THAT IS DISCHARGED INTO OUR SENSITIVE, DELICATE ECOSYSTEM LIKE REDFISH BAY AND INDUSTRIAL STABLE ABILITY. IT PROVIDES A RELIABLE, DROUGHT PROOF, COST EFFECTIVE WATER SOURCE FOR INDUSTRY SUCH AS EXXON AND STEEL DYNAMICS, WHICH HAS SUCCESSFULLY UTILIZED SUCH SYSTEMS. CONSERVATION OF POTABLE WATER IT PROVIDES. IT PRESERVES A FRESH DRINKING WATER SUPPLY FOR RESIDENTIAL USE, ENSURING WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR OUR PEOPLE, NOT JUST FOR PROCESS THAT DON'T REQUIRE HIGH GRADE WATER RECYCLING. OUR WATER IS NOT JUST ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE, IT IS A VITAL INVESTMENT IN OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE. WE ALREADY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AND WITH THE INCENTIVES LIKE THOSE OVERSEEN BY THE SAN PATRICIO COUNTY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, THE BLUEPRINT IS FOR SUCCESS. LET US SUPPORT AND CONTINUE INVESTMENT IN EXPANSION OF WATER RECLAMATION INFRASTRUCTURE. IT IS TIME TO TURN OUR SEWER PLANTS INTO RESOURCE HUBS INSTEAD OF AND SECURE INDEPENDENT WATER FOR PATRICIO COUNTY FOLKS. INSTEAD OF SENDING IT TO THE GULF, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT, START PUTTING IT BACK IN THE GROUND HERE. WE'RE IN A DROUGHT AND THERE'S NO TELLING WHEN IT'S GOING IN. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT CARD I HAVE IS FROM DOCTOR MOBLEY. OH. GOOD MORNING JUDGE. COMMISSIONERS. I'M DOCTOR JAMES MOBLEY, A FORMER HEALTH AUTHORITY FOR SAN PATRICIO COUNTY. AND I REALLY JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE[00:05:05]
SUPPORT. FOR 35 YEARS, I'VE BEEN THROUGH FOUR JUDGES, AND I CAN'T COUNT THE COMMISSIONERS.AND I'VE FELT FULLY SUPPORTED. AND MANY OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, I'VE GONE EVERYTHING FROM TIGER ATTACKS TO RABID SKUNKS. WE WENT THROUGH THE PANDEMIC. I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW THE CYCLE ON THAT, BUT I WOULD GET THE NAMES IN ROUGHLY 6:00 AT NIGHT OF THE NEW CASES AND TYPE UP QUARANTINES. AND BY SEVEN THE NEXT MORNING, I'D HAVE IT IN THE JUDGE'S OFFICE. AND WE DID THAT FOR FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS. AND WE GOT THROUGH IT. AND THEN I DRONE ON ABOUT THAT HERE. AND FOR COMMISSIONER GILLESPIE, I'D HAVE TROUBLE STAYING AWAKE WHILE I'M WELL, WHILE I'M TELLING, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY NEW CASES WE'VE GOTTEN ALL THAT.
BUT REALLY, THANK YOU. THE REASON I'M HERE, BY THE WAY, IS IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT DOCTOR PRUETT LATER ON. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A GREAT 35 YEARS. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT CARD I HAVE IS FROM BRAD STORY. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS BRAD STORE. LIKE GROCERY STORE. THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK IN THE ROAD WHERE JUDGE, YOU GOT MY NAME WRONG. MAYBE THE THIRD WEEK WE'LL GET IT RIGHT. BUT I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AGAIN. I WAS HERE LAST WEEK AND I TOUCHED ON SOME SUBJECTS, AND I'VE BEEN TOUCHING ON SOME SOME SENSITIVE SUBJECTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. THE REASON I GOT INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS AND COUNTY AFFAIRS IS BECAUSE I CAME ACROSS THIS SITE, THE SAN PATTY DODGE PAGE, RIGHT WHERE I FOUND A WOMAN THAT CALLS HERSELF THE WATCHDOG OF THE COUNTY. RIGHT. SO LOOKING AT THAT, WATCHDOGS ARE GOOD AND THEY SERVE A PURPOSE, RIGHT? I MEAN, THEY KEEP GOVERNMENT IN CHECK. THEY KEEP PEOPLE IN CHECK TO DO THE RIGHT THING. BUT WHAT I SAW THERE WAS THE OPPOSITE. I SAW TARGETED APPROACHES, HARD, TARGETED APPROACHES AGAINST INDIVIDUALS. AND IT DIDN'T STOP THERE. THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PARTICIPATING IN IT WASN'T JUST THE ADMIN, IT WAS OTHER COMMISSIONERS. RIGHT? I STARTED THE SAN PATRICIO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION TRANSPARENCY PROJECT BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO BE DONE. QUITE FRANKLY, THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION PUT OUT RIGHT NOW ON INDIVIDUALS AND TARGETED ATTACKS. I UNDERSTAND POLITICS ARE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE TOUGH, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE HAVE ELECTIONS GOING ON. BUT WHEN YOU START TARGETING FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE POLITICIANS, THAT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE. YOU KNOW, I TOUCHED ON A LOT OF SENSUAL SUBJECTS ON THAT SITE, ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM THE INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRIAL GROWTH PLAN, RIGHT, TO THE PORTLAND CITY COUNCIL SPEAKING UP, AND THE MAYOR OF PORTLAND SPEAKING UP. WE TALKED ABOUT THE WATER ALLIANCE MEETING RIGHT WHERE I STILL HAVEN'T GOT THE ANSWERS TO WHY JUDGE KREBS COULDN'T BE THERE. IT WAS AN URGENT REQUEST FROM THE SENATOR.
TOMMY LEE SHOWED UP. JUDGE DIDN'T I MEAN, MAYBE HE HAD SOMETHING ELSE. SCHEDULED MEETING WENT OUT FEBRUARY 27TH, SIX DAYS. SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT 68, RIGHT. THAT 168 RETIREMENT. THAT ONE WAS SENSITIVE, RIGHT. THE REASON THAT WENT OUT WAS BECAUSE I WANTED TO SHOW, YOU KNOW, THE THE CITIZENS THAT, HEY, IF WE ELECT A CERTAIN OFFICIAL AGAIN, HE ONLY HAS TO SERVE ONE DAY AND THEN WE GET A DIFFERENT COMMISSIONER, POTENTIALLY THROUGH THE COMMISSIONER COURT. I TOUCHED ON PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS WHICH HAVE BEEN BOMBARDING THIS OFFICE OUT OF NOWHERE. SHE BOASTS OVER 40 OF THEM. RIGHT. HOW MUCH GOVERNMENT TAXPAYER MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT IN ON THESE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS? LET'S TALK ABOUT AGITATORS. THE WHOLE REASON I'M HERE, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM BRANT CASEY YESTERDAY. I HAD NO INTENTION OF COMING HERE. I'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED A COUPLE MESSAGES FROM BRANT CASEY OUT OF THE BLUE. THE FIRST ONE, HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF TO ME, RIGHT. AND HE TELLS ME. HE TELLS ME AT THIS TIME, GOOD EVENING. AT THIS TIME, I CAN'T SHARE THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THIS MUCH.
THERE'S A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION GOING ON IN THIS COUNTY, HE SAID. I GOT HERE IN 2017. IT'S THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY I'VE EVER SEEN. THAT WAS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS STANDING UP HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY. NOW, HE SPOKE IN A NUMBER OF TIMES ON COMMISSIONERS COURT, AND I HAVE MULTIPLE MESSAGES HERE WHERE HE'S TELLING ME I'M NOT IN THE KNOW AND THIS IS BIGGER. SO I ASKED BRANT CASEY, WHO WILL COME UP HERE AND SPEAK AT COMMISSIONERS COURT, TELL US WHAT NOBODY KNOWS. TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW. WHAT IS THE BIG CONSPIRACY HERE? THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE FOR CITIZENS BE HEARD. APART FROM US HERE IN THE SECOND? OKAY. THIS IS A BUSINESS OWNER, OKAY? HE IS. HAVE A. EXIT THE ROOM, PLEASE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO ARGUE. TAKE IT OUTSIDE. OUTSIDE. TAKE IT OUTSIDE OR TAKE A SEAT OR THE OTHER. OKAY. ACCOUNTING MONEY WISE AND STUFF ONLY. ALL THIS
[00:10:07]
HAS TO DO WITH MONEY, RIGHT? ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON. OKAY. REPORT FROM COMMISSIONERS AND[4. Report from Judge, Commissioner or Department concerning an item/report of community interest.]

I THINK THEIR OFFICIAL OPENING IS TODAY. UNTIL WE HAVE JUDGE SIKORSKI. OKAY, WE JUST FINALLY FINISHED UP ON 2763 WHEN THE GRAIN TRUCKS FINISHED WITH IT. IT WAS KIND OF A MESS.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ROAD SEALCOATING BEFORE, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK IN AND RIP IT AND PROBABLY SEALCOAT IT. BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST DO OUR PATCH THAT WE'RE PATCHING ON COUNTY ROAD. 102 TODAY WE'RE WORKING ON OUR 2515 MOWER, HAD A BROKEN SHAFT AND GOT THE NEW ONE IN. WE'RE TEARING IT APART, PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER OURSELVES. AND WE'RE ALSO MOWING ON COUNTY 898 WEST, WHICH IS COUNTY ROAD 1214. I HAD THE PLEASURE LAST LAST WEEK OVER THERE TO ATTEND A. I GUESS, A SYMPOSIUM OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, A MEETING AND TO STAND PAT MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT AND I FOUND IT WAS OUTSTANDING. WE HAD A COMPANY COME IN FROM MIDLAND, TEXAS CALLED TSUNAMI, AND THEY THEY DID A PRESENTATION. AND THE THREE OF THE COMMISSIONERS WERE THERE MYSELF, COMMISSIONER YARDLEY AND COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS REALLY NO ENTITIES INVOLVED OTHER THAN US IN THIS COMPANY PRODUCES WATER. HOW DO THEY PRODUCE WATER? WELL, OUR ATMOSPHERE IS ABOUT 78% HUMIDITY YEAR ROUND. WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN THE SUMMERS HIT, HUMIDITY SITS IN AND WE LIVE ON IT. THIS COMPANY HAD A COUPLE TRAILERS SET UP AND THERE WERE SMALL TRAILERS, 100,000 125,000 EACH PRODUCED FIVE 400 GALLONS OF WATER A DAY, WHICH AIN'T MUCH, BUT I GOT PLEASURE DRINKING SOME OF IT, ALONG WITH A FIREHOUSE SUB FROM PORTLAND, AND I ENJOYED IT. AND THE BIG PRESENTATION OF IT CAME OUT WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A $78 MILLION PLANT, WHICH TAKES ABOUT FIVE ACRES AND PRODUCES 1 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. THAT'S A LOT OF WATER. NOW. THERE'S A LOT OF WATER GRANTS OUT THERE, SO I'M LOOKING AT HAVING THEM COME BACK TO THE DOME AND DO A PRESENTATION OVER THERE SOMETIME HERE SHORTLY, AND MAYBE WE CAN GET ALL THE CITIES AND ENTITIES INVOLVED THAT THAT NEED WATER.
