SHE'S HERE PETITIONING THE COURT TO CONTINUE THE PROJECT AND HELP WITH INFRASTRUCTURE TO

PROVIDE AN COUNTYWIDE. >> NEXT NEXT UP WE HAVE JANE CROSS IN PERSON.GOOD AFTERNOON

MS. CRUST IS A 31 MINUTE TIMELINE. >> WOMAN: HI EVERYONE I'M HERE TO FOLLOW UP TO FOLLOW UP ON THE USES OF YOUR JUSTICE OF THE THE PEACE.

MY FRIEND THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, HIS BODY HAD TO BE SENT TO CORPUS TO GET A NON-TOXIC DONE. THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE A CORNER.

I KNOW THAT DOCTOR SALINAS WORKS PART-TIME IN THE MORNING SOMETIMES WITH THE COUNTY THIS BIG NEEDS TO HAVE A CORNER. I KNOW THAT THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE OR ELECTED OFFICIALS BUT HOWEVER THEY GET PAID THROUGH THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF SAY. PLEASE ANSWER YOUR PHONE AND TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CENTRAL DISPATCH SYSTEM. I DON'T KNOW WHO PUTS THE AD IN THE NEWSPAPER OR HOW YOU GET A CORNER BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE PUT AS A MONITOR. THERE ARE MEDICAL MAGAZINES.

THERE ARE MEDICAL FINDS AND THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF WAYS TO FIND A CORNER BESIDES THE MONITOR. I DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE OF YOUR HR BUT I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT BEHIND THE WOODSHED. I AM SUPPOSED TO REPORT BACK TO SERGIO BECAUSE I DID TALK TO HIM AND HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY PLANS FOR EVEN TRYING TO GET THESE PAID OFFICIALS TO DO THEIR JOB. IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING TO ADD

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> WE CAN ANSWER BACK. >> CAN ANYBODY SAY ANYTHING TO ME OUTSIDE MAYBE I CAN GO BACK AND CLOSE DOORS. HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS

HAVE EVEN TAKEN NOTICE OF THIS? >> MS. CROSS I WILL THAT I'LL CALL YOU.

>> FELT. >>. >> I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TAKING THIS UNDER ADVISEMENT BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED.

OF THE THINGS YOU CAN'T FIX THIS IS FIXABLE. LET'S HAVE A WHEN FOR HIDALGO COUNTY COUNTY AND THAT IT BE THE BEST COUNTY AND NOT THE ONE LAGGING BEHIND.

>> NEXT UP WE HAVE CLARITY IN PERSON. >> THERE'S A THREE MINUTE TIMELINE AND I WILL ADVISE WHEN THERE'S ONE MINUTE AND I'LL START WHEN YOU START.

>THE EIGHT I'M GOING TO AGENDA ITEM 19 B. IT'S UNDER THE COUNTY JUDGE AND IT SHOWS THAT HE WANTS TO PURCHASE THE POLARIS RANGER FOR $49,437 AND THEIR $.22.

WHAT IS ON THIS THING? I CALLED AND LOOKED UP. THEY RANGE ANYWHERE FROM $19,000 TO $26,000 AND MAYBE $20,000. I CALLED AND IMPLEMENT WHO IS IN EDINBURG AND SAID THEY SAID TO GET FREIGHT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL AND ITS 29,001 84.

FOR THE COUNTY YOU CAN GET IT TO FOR 25,400. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[00:25:06]

THE AVERAGE CITIZEN CAN'T AFFORD THIS BUT WERE PAYING FOR THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY. ALSO SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE HIRING 20 PEOPLE DURING THE HURRICANE SEASON AND IT'S GONNA BE OVER HALF $1 MILLION. AGAIN, TAXPAYERS MONEY WE KNOW WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED CAN YOU NOT LOOK IN AND SEE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PRESENT THAT ARE ABLE TO HELP INSTEAD OF HAVING TO HEAD HERE WE ARE FACING PROPERTY VALUES THAT HAVE INCREASED BY 40 TO HAVE A QUESTION, HOW SMART YOU HAVE TO BE TO KNOW THAT INCREASING PROPERTY VALUES ON THE POOR IS NOT A GOOD IDEA? IT INCREASES THE PROBLEM BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES THAT GO ON FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.

AS A CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR ACTION SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED AND STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT. WE LEARNED THAT STUDENTS WERE NOT ONLY GOING TO SCHOOL FOR EDUCATION BUT THEY WERE ALSO GOING FOR BASIC NUTRITION. THE THINGS EACH OF YOU HAVE VOTED FOR LIKE INCREASING SALARIES, ADDING MORE STAFF AND JUDGES AND BUYING UP POLARIS THEY INCREASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON FAMILIES THAT LIVE ON THE EDGE.

COULD IT BE THAT THIS COMMISSION BY YOUR ACTION IS ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YOURSELF IN A SMALL GROUP OF RELATIVES, FRIENDS OR LOVED ONES? YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE THAT DEPEND ON SERVICES FROM THE COUNTY. THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE. ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE NOT GOOD REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST. THEY ALWAYS GIVE AWAY MORE THAN THEY GET.ND SO WE ARE ASKING THE COMMISSIONERS, YOU ARE PAID WELL FOR THE TIME THAT YOU ARE HERE. THEREFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY. IF THEY ARE CONSTANT CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE HERE IN A CERTAIN DAY FOR CERTAIN TIME CAN'T VOTE ON SOMETHING MAYBE IT'S TIME TO

MAKE VISION OF WHICH THREE. >> THANK YOU MA'AM. DANIEL?> NEXT UP WE HAVE

MICHAEL LOPEZ IN PERSON. >> AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. >> MY NAME IS MICHAEL LOPEZ AND I'M THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WITH THE PRECINCT. A COUPLE YEARS AGO WE HEARD THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE WHOLE TRASH PROBLEM. WE HEARD ABOUT IT AND CORONAVIRUS HAPPENS AND WE STOPPED HEARING ABOUT IT. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON THE THINGS THAT LUPE HAD BEEN WANTED. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR. AS LONG AS THERE IS A NON-FORECLOSURE AGREEMENT THE PROPERTIES DON'T GET TAKEN AWAY FROM THE COMMUNITIES SO WHENEVER THEY DO PASS THE SPELL PEOPLE DON'T GET KICKED OUT OF HOMES FOR JUST HAVING THEIR TRASH BILL PAY.

THE OTHER ONE IS ACCESSIBILITY IN THE COMMUNITY. .

THEY WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH IT AND WHENEVER COMES DOWN TO HERE WHENEVER WE START MAKING THE DECISIONS FOR THE COMMUNITIES INVOLVED IN THE DECISION-MAKING.

[00:30:12]

>> OWES THAT THERE?'S VON COX OVER THE PHONE. LET ME JOIN ONE OMENT.

HELLO? >> HELLO I'M HERE. THERE IS A TIME LIMIT.

I WILL ADVISE WHEN THERE IS ONE MINUTE AND I WILL START WHEN YOU START.

>> DO I NEED TO SPEAK NOW? >> YES GALATZER. >> MAN: I'M CALLING TO THE ITEM ABOUT THE STREETLIGHTS PROGRAM CHANGES THAT MAY BE SUGGESTED. I WORK FOR LIV AND DONNA AND WE STRONGLY OPPOSE ANY PROVISION THAT WOULD INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY AND INCREASE THE OBSTACLES TO GETTING STREETLIGHTS INTO COLONIES. WE STRONGLY APPRECIATE THE USE OF WHATEVER FEDERAL FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO SPEED UP THE PROGRAM SO THAT BY THE END OF

THE NEXT CENTURY WE HAVE STREETLIGHTS IN EVERY COLONIAL. >> THANK YOU SIR NEXT UP WE HAVE MISSED OLIVERA.

STREET LIGHT PROGRAM. I WILL BE SHARING MY SCREEN. >> OUR STREETLIGHT PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED IN 2015. THROUGH THESE 2007 TEXAS REGISTRATION CODE THAT WAS AMENDED IT BASICALLY HAS THE ABILITY TO ASSESS STREETLIGHT B HOWEVER IN THE CODE OF 2007 IT WAS CITED ON HOW WE COULD ACTUALLY BUILD SO IN 2015 WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THE LAW WAS CHANGED WHICH GRANTED US THE ABILITY TO

ASSIST THROUGH OUR TAX OFFICE ON THE STATEMENT. >> WHO WANTED TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR ROW COMMUNITIES BY ESTABLISHING A PARTNERSHIP WITH INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS THE COUNTY.

WE SEE THAT WHEN INDIVIDUALS GIVE SAFE TRAVELING AND OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES VISITING LOCAL BUSINESSES OR OUTSIDE WITH PRESENT FAMILIES ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITIES.

>> TO DATE WE HAVE 37 RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

AS A TOTAL 2200. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 3 AND A HALF INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS WE ESTIMATE ABOUT 3000 INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED. THE AVERAGE ANNUAL STREETLIGHT FEE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT IS AVERAGING ABOUT $30 A YEAR. TODAY I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT THE RATIO WAS AT 86%.

OTHER UTILITIES WE DO UTILIZE SUCH AS A WATER UTILITY LIKE THE CITIES TO HAVE ACCESS TO.

THE LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE GIVE A SET ABILITY. >> THAT'S SOMEWHAT A KIND OF DIFFERENT ISSUE BUT SIMILAR WITH ROADBLOCKS IN THAT WE DON'T HAVE A WATER BILL TO ASSESS SANITATION EXPENSES LIKE A CITY DOES.
