I DON'T KNOW IF COMMISSIONER YOU WANTED TO DO THE HONORS OF RECOGNIZING OUR GUESTS? TODAY IS ALSO DELTA DAY IN FORT BEND COUNTY. WE HAVE MEMBERS WHO JOINED US TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN FORT BEND COUNTY.

I THINK THIS CHAPTER'S FIRST DELTA DAY HERE AT THE COURTHOUSE, SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE OF YOUR MEMBER OF DELTA SIGMA -- LEE STAND TO BE RECOGNIZED.

THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR COMING. THANK YOU.

>> MY FAVORITE DELTA IS IN THE AUDIENCE.

>> ASSUMING THAT'S THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

>> THE FIRST ONE IS WILLIAM FULLER ON AGENDA ITEM 12H.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS WILLIAM FULLER.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF AGENDA ITEM 12H11 WHICH IS A PLAT AMENDMENT IN THE SHILOH LAKE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION.

[00:05:04]

THE OWNERS OF THIS LOT HAVE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE PROPOSED PLAT AMENDMENT IS SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER THINGS THE HOA ALLOWED OVER THE YEARS. ONE LOT IN PARTICULAR WAS CONVERTED FROM A PLAYGROUND INTO A RESIDENTIAL LOT.

'S OWNERS HAVE ALSO BEEN ALLOWED TO BUILD DIFFERENT STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTIES OVER THE YEARS. INCLUDING SHEDS IN THEIR BACKYARDS WHICH DON'T CONFORM TO THE SPECIFIC COVENANTS THAT OUR HOA HAS. IN FACT ALMOST NONE OF THE OWNERS FULLY CONFORM TO THE COVENANT.

IN PARTICULAR ALMOST NO OWNERS CONFORM TO FENCE RESTRICTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN IN OUR COVENANTS FOR 25 PLUS YEARS.

WHY I'M SAYING THIS IS THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE BOARD, THE HOA ATTORNEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE THE COVENANT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN CONSISTENT ENFORCEMENT OVER THE 25 YEARS.

AND THESE VARIOUS MINOR VIOLATIONS WERE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT THE PARSONS WANT TO DO HERE IS MAKE A SMALL AMENDMENT TO THEIR LOT LINES, THEY OWN TWO LOTS AND THEY WANT TO MOVE THE LOT LINE OVER BY A FEW FEET SO THAT THEIR HOUSE IS SITTING ON ONE OF THOSE LOTS AND THAT THE NEW SMALLER LOT THEY CAN DISPOSE OF IN SOME OTHER WAY. MAYBE TO PUT ANOTHER HOME ON THAT LOT IN THE FUTURE. I'M AWARE THAT SOMEBODY FILED FOR AN INJUNCTION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN ANY SORT OF MOVEMENT ON THAT.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SHOULD COME INTO PLAY HERE SINCE COURTS HAVEN'T RULED ON IT. AND IN FACT I THINK THAT REALLY, ANY SORT OF DISPUTE THAT IS ONGOING IS A PRIVATE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARSONS AND THE HOA AND REALLY IT SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION OF THESE PROCEEDINGS TODAY.

THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JAMES

WILSON ON AGENDA ITEM 12H. >> THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS JAMES WILSON. I EXPECTED THE MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO AND I WILL NOT REPEAT MY FULL OBJECTION TODAY BUT I WANTED ON THE RECORD THAT I WOULD LIKE THOSE COMMENTS TO STAY. BEFORE I BEGIN I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING TO ADDRESS WHAT WAS JUST TOLD TO YOU.

FIRST OF ALL, THE CONCLUSION THAT OTHER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND THEREFORE NEGATE THE RESTRICTIONS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. OUR COMMUNITY WAS ADVISED UPON THE AMENDMENT TO THE DECLARATIONS TWO YEARS AGO THAT IT'S AN ALL-NEW DAY AND CONSEQUENTLY THE SENSE -- THE SINS OF THE FATHER CANNOT BE COUNTED AS A REASON TO NOT ENFORCE RESTRICTIONS. SECONDLY IT'S NOT A FEW FEET, IS CONVERTING A 1.5-ACRE LOT TO A 1.8-ACRE LOT AND REDUCING THE OTHER LOT TO 1.2. IT'S NOT A SMALL MOVE, IT'S A SIGNIFICANT TO MOVE AND THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER AREAS OF CLARIFICATION I WON'T GO THROUGH BUT THERE'S SO MUCH WRONG WITH WHAT'S BEEN SAID THAT I JUST THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.

THIS REPLY VIOLATES THE RESTRICTIONS -- YOU'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THAT'S BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE PAST, WHAT THEY DID NOT TELL YOU IS THE DEED RESTRICTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING HAVE ALLOWED THE DECK LEARNED WHICH WAS THE DEVELOPER OR THE SUCCESSOR BEING THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO TAKE COMMON AREA LOTS AND CONVERT THEM INTO RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THAT THE GENTLEMAN AS JUST TOLD YOU

[00:10:02]

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT. THIS REPLAT DOES VIOLATE OUR DEED RESTRICTIONS AND OPENS THE DOOR TO FUTURE THINGS THAT WILL SET A PRECEDENT THAT CAN BE VERY DAMAGING TO US.

EVERYONE IN THAT SUBDIVISION BOUGHT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO LIVE ON A TYPICAL SMALL LOT. THEY WANTED AN ACREAGE SUBDIVISION. PUTTING ALL THAT ASIDE I THINK SOMETHING ELSE WAS IMPORTANT TO NOTE.

AS I LOOK AT THE AGENDA ITEMS TODAY BEFORE I CAME TO THIS MEETING, IT INCLUDES A PLAT BY A SURVEYOR.

THAT PLAT HAS ALL THE SIGNATURES BLANK.

IT'S NOT BEEN SIGNED OFF ON BY THE HONORS NANCY AND BILL PARSONS. IT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED OFF ON BY THE CITY OF HOUSTON. WHICH IT HAS TO BE.

AND IT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED OFF BY THE HOUSTON PLANNING COMMISSION. NONE OF THOSE HAVE BEEN SIGNED.

ONLY THE SURVEYOR HAS SIGNED. SO IT DOES NOT FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR -- UNLESS THERE'S ANOTHER DOCUMENT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. THE ONE INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THOSE SIGNATURES AT ALL.

I'D ASK YOU TO CAREFULLY THINK WHY IS THAT.

WIRE THOSE ELEMENTS MISSING. IS VERY TELLING.

THEY HAVE TRIED TO CHARACTERIZE THIS AS UNDEMANDING REPLAT.

AND AMENDING REPLAT BY ITS VERY DEFINITION STATES THAT IT'S TO BE USED FOR SMALL, NONSUBSTANTIVE CHANGES THAT DO NOT MATERIALLY AFFECT OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS.

TYPICAL USES HER CLERICAL ERRORS, ADJUSTING A LOT LINE WITHOUT CHANGING THE NUMBER OF LOTS, RELOCATING EASEMENTS, UPDATING DECLARATIONS AND SO ON. WHAT THIS IS IS A FULL REPLAT, A FULL ON REPLAT. THE OWNER FOUND IT EASIER THAN TO GO THROUGH THAT FULL PROCESS WITH THE -- WITH ALL THE VARIOUS PARTIES THAT HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON IT AT THE CITY OF HOUSTON AND THE OTHER STEPS THAT HAVE TO TAKE PLACE AND JUST GO AND CALL AN AMENDMENT. LET'S CALL AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE THEN IT DOESN'T REQUIRE HEARINGS ON THOUSAND OPEN UP TO PUBLIC TESTIMONY BEFOREHAND WHERE PEOPLE CAN SAY I OBJECT TO THIS.

WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN BE MADE AWARE OF IT.

THE ONLY WAVY BECAME AWARE THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH WAS WENT -- SOMEBODY NOTICED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE LAST MEETING THAT IT WAS THERE. THIS OWNER DEFINITELY INTENDED NOT TO HAVE THE HONORS -- AND THERE'S WIDE OPPOSITION TO IT IN OUR COMMUNITY. IN CONCLUSION, I WOULD ASK THE COURT TO DENY THIS REPLAT. IT IS A REPLAT, NOT AN AMENDMENT. IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO OUR COMMUNITY. THE PARSONS HAVE MOVED.

THEY'VE MOVED TO MISSOURI. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND I WOULD ASK YOU, WHY DIDN'T THEY CARVE OFF A PIECE OF IT AND SELL IT WHEN THEY LIVED THERE? THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE THEY FELT THE SAME WAY WE DID.

THEY BOUGHT INTO A SUBDIVISION WHERE THEY WANTED TO LIVE ON LARGER LOTS. IT'S ONLY GREED AFTER THEY'VE MOVED, BUILT A NEW HOME IN MISSOURI FOR THEM TO STEP FORWARD AND ASK TO CARVE IT OFF BECAUSE SOMEONE CAME UP AND SAID I'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THAT EXTRA PIECE IF YOU CARVE IT OFF. SO IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT, IT HASN'T GONE THROUGH THE PROCEDURE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO END NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND IN FACT, IF IT DOESN'T AND, IT BECOMES MUCH MORE COMPLICATED.

RIGHT NOW IT INVOLVES AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE SUBDIVISION IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE PARSONS.

IF IT SELLS, WHICH THE HOUSE IS SUPPOSED TO SELL HERE IN ABOUT A WEEK, THEN YOU'VE GOT HOMEOWNERS INVOLVED.

IF THE LOT SELLS THEN YOU'VE GOT THE LOT INVOLVED.

THEN QUITE FRANKLY THE COUNTY BECOMES EMBROILED IN A WHOLE MESS OF WHY WAS IT TREATED AS AN AMENDMENT AND NOT A REPLAT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE THINGS EASY AND A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET HURT. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU DENY THE REPLAT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THE NEXT SPEAKERS VIVIAN FOR FOR HIM ON AGENDA ITEM 12H.

[00:15:08]

>> MY NAME IS VIVIAN FAN. I'M A RESIDENT OF SHILOH LAKE AS STATE. THE PARSONS HAPPEN LONG TIME NEIGHBORS OF OURS. THEY'VE BEEN REALLY GOOD NEIGHBORS. I DON'T REALLY SEE THERE'S ANY REASON WHY THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS AMENDMENT PLAT APPROVED.

I DON'T SEE THERE'S ANY AFFECT OR HARM TO THE FACT THAT THEY NEED TO AMEND THE PLAT BECAUSE IT ORIGINALLY HAD BOUGHT WHILE LOTS ANYWAYS. THEY PAID FOR IT, THE HOA FEARS -- THESE YEAR AFTER YEAR FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS.

AND ORIGINALLY THEY BOUGHT IT WAS TWO SEPARATE LOTS, TWO SEPARATE ADDRESSES. ONE OF THE LOTS, LOT FOR THEIR HOUSE WAS BUILT ON IT. SORRY, LOT FIVE THEIR HOUSE WAS BUILT ON IT. LOT FOUR HAS ITS OWN PHYSICAL ADDRESS BUT IS VACANT LAND SO THEY BOUGHT THE LAND NEXT TO THEIR HOME AS WELL. I THINK ABOUT A YEAR AGO THEY WENT TO SELL IT THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE HOUSE THAT THEY BOUGHT ON LOT FOR ENCROACHED A LITTLE BIT OVER -- I'M SORRY THE HOUSE THEY BOUGHT ON LOT FIVE ENCROACHED A LITTLE BIT OVER A LOT FOUR AND THEY DID APPROACH THE HOA BOARD TO GET THEIR APPROVAL AND THEY WERE REFERRED TO THE HOA BOARD ATTORNEY AND THEY HAVE AN EMAIL FROM THE ATTORNEY SAYING THAT YOU JUST NEED TO GO THROUGH THE GOVERNMENTAL PROCEEDING PROCESS TO GET THIS DONE. THE HOA IS NOT SOMEWHERE YOU WOULD GET APPROVAL FROM. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE PARSONS SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME GOING THROUGH THE CITY OF HOUSTON, FORT BEND COUNTY, STATE OF X -- TEXAS ENGINEERING TO GET THEIR APPROVAL AND THIS IS THE LAST PROCESS AND I REALLY DON'T SEE ANY REASON, ANY VALID REASON WHY THE HOA BOARD SHOULD BE OF THE WAY OF THE PARSONS GETTING APPROVAL FOR THIS REQUEST.

ACCORDING TO THE -- I WILL READ HERE.

THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 2.2210...

IT PROVIDES IN AS FOLLOWS. THE MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROVING PLAT MAY APPROVE AN ISSUE -- ISSUE AND AMENDING PLAT WHICH MAY BE RECORDED AND IT'S CONTROLLING OVER THE PRECEDING PLAT WITHOUT VACATION OF THAT PLAT IF THE AMENDING CLIENT IS SIGNED BY THE APPLICANT'S AND SOLELY FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES.

TO RELOCATE A LOT TO INADVERTENT ENCROACHMENT OF A BUILDING OR OTHER IMPROVEMENT ON THE LOT LINE OR EASEMENT.

TO RELOCATE ONE OR MORE LOT LINES BETWEEN ONE OR MORE ADJACENT LOTS OF THE OWNERS OF ALL THOSE LOTS JOIN IN THE APPLICATION AMENDING THE PLAT. THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE RECORDED RESTRICTIONS AND THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS. IN THIS SITUATION, THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS.

THEY'RE STILL TWO SEPARATE LOTS. IT WAS JUST A LITTLE ENCROACHMENT FROM LOT FIVE TO LOT FOR SO THEY NEED TO AMEND IT AND THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO ALREADY AND GOT APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF HOUSTON AND COURT BAND COUNTY AND STATE OF TEXAS ENGINEERING. THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, SO I REALLY DON'T SEE A REASON WHY THIS SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED. SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COMMISSIONER TO APPROVE THE PARSONS REQUEST.

THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS KENNETH

AGENDA ITEM SIX A THROUGH D. >> AND IT -- COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT ITEM SIX A THROUGH 6B. THESE ARE TRAVEL EXPENSES TO DIFFERENT CONFERENCES BY OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS HERE.

RETIRED CEO AND A RETIRED MILITARY OFFICER OF OVER 20 YEARS. DEFINITELY EXPERIENCED IN FIDUCIARY ACCOUNTABILITY AND ALSO IN SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. AS SUCH I'VE EXAMINED EACH LOCATION ON THE AGENDA ITEMS. WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THERE WAS NO AGENDA ACTUALLY ON ANY OF THE WEBSITES FOR THE CONFERENCE IS

[00:20:05]

WHAT IS THE RETURN BACK TO US AS A COMMUNITY FOR OUR TAXPAYERS DOLLARS. IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE WERE NO MEASURABLE RESULTS GIVEN BY ANY OF THOSE GROUP ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE AND BREAKOUT SESSIONS LACKED ANY DETAIL, SPECIFICITY AS TO WHAT WAS GOING TO BE DISCUSSED.

WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO WERE SENDING OUR PEOPLE TO FOUR OR FIVE STAR RESORTS FOR A CONFERENCE? AND THERE'S NO MEASURABLE RESULTS BACK TO THE POPULATION AND TO OUR COUNTY. WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, IS THAT REALLY A GOOD EXPENDITURE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS.

PERSONALLY AS A CEO, MY SALES TEAM WANTED TO GO OUT TO A CONFERENCE, THEY HAD TO HAVE MEASURABLE RESULTS.

AND HAVING A COMPANY OF OVER $200 MILLION TO BUY -- AND PLANT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES I LOOKED AT EVERY ONE OF THE REQUESTS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS MAKING -- I WAS MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION FOR A COMPANY. AS COMMISSIONERS I ASK YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR US AS A COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT JUST AD HOC SENDING PEOPLE OFF AND THERE'S NO MEASURABLE BENEFITS COMING BACK TO THE COUNTY.

SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WITHOUT THAT SPECIFIC INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO US IN THE COMMUNITY, I ASK YOU TO DEEPLY CONSIDER DISAPPROVING THESE AND LOOKING AS A COMMISSION AT MAKING SURE THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL DOCUMENTATION THAT SAYS THESE EVENTS ARE ACTUALLY OF VALUE TO FORT BEND COUNTY.

WE WANT TO HAVE CONFERENCES, NEEDS TO BE FILLED UP AND BOOKED FOR BUSINESSES. LET'S HAVE PEOPLE COME TO US AND USE OUR RESOURCES. THANK YOU.

>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS WAYNE FRYER ON AGENDA HIM -- AGENDA

ITEM SIX A. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS. AS I WAS JUST INTRODUCED I AM WAYNE FRYER. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND AS A RETIRED POLICE MEMBER FROM A COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT IN MARYLAND, NOT FROM TEXAS. AND I WILL MAKE THAT REASON KNOWN IN A MOMENT. I'VE LIVED IN FORT BEND COUNTY FOR THE LAST 18 AND A HALF YEARS, SO I CONSIDER THIS AS A LONG TIME HOME. AND SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY ON 6K ON THE AGENDA I SELECTED THAT BECAUSE A GOT ME ON THE AGENDA TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK. BUT I'M CONCERNED JUST LIKE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUT OF COUNTY TRAVEL.

IT'S PART OF MY JOB RESPONSIBILITY AS A COMMANDER FROM MY PRIOR CAREER I RECEIVED TRAVEL REQUESTS ALL THE TIME FROM SUBORDINATE STAFF TO GO TO CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND BEFORE I LEFT MY DESK AND WENT FOR APPROVAL, I HAD TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION WAS IT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, WAS IT THE BEST USE OF OUR BUDGET AND THE DOLLARS I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFEGUARDING. ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY AND THE CITIZENS WE SERVE TO PROTECT.

AND I CAN TELL YOU A GREAT NUMBER OF THOSE I RETURNED BACK AND SAID THIS DOES NOT BENEFIT US AND DENIED THEM.

I'M AT A LITTLE BIT OF A LOSS BECAUSE I'M KIND OF KNEW ON THIS SPECIFIC PART OF WHAT THE COMMISSIONER'S RESPONSIBILITY IS. THE REASON WHY I'M HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT NEWS ARTICLE THAT CAME OUT THAT I DON'T THINK SHOWCASED FORT BEND COUNTY AND THE BEST LIGHT.

THAT WAS THE ONE ABOUT THE TRAVEL REQUEST TO GO TO HAWAII FOR OUR CONFERENCE FOR BLACK LEADER OFFICIALS.

THERE WERE TWO PROMINENT COUNTY PEOPLE THAT WERE GOING TO GO THERE. ONE OF THEM WAS A COMMISSIONER AND THE OTHER OUR TAX ASSESSOR WHO I THOUGHT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFEGUARDING OUR TAX DOLLARS.

IN ADDITION TO THOSE TWO PEOPLE THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE LISTED AS STAFF MEMBERS WHO WERE GOING TO GO.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A TRIP TO HAWAII IS SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF FORT BEND COUNTY ESPECIALLY IF IT'S LISTED JUST AS THAT ONE PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION.

I GAVE IT THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TO SEE WHAT BENEFIT IT MIGHT PROVIDE TO FORT BEND COUNTY AND I LOOKED AT THE AGENDA. I LOOKED AT IT AGAIN JUST AN HOUR AGO BEFORE I CAME HERE TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN UPDATED.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THE AGENDA THAT SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC SESSIONS. ALL OF IT SAYS THEY CALL IT

[00:25:03]

LENDERS LUNCH THEN THEN THE AFTERNOON LAYERS AFTERNOON BREAKOUT SESSIONS. NO SPECIFICITY AT ALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT GOT APPROVED OR NOT BECAUSE IT'S FROM THE LAST MINUTES AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE LADIES IN THE HALLWAY APPARENTLY IT HAS NOT RECEIVED APPROVAL YET AND HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED. I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE ONLY ONE, I JUST -- I GUESS MY QUESTION IS AND I WILL FIND OUT AS I CONTINUE DOING MY RESEARCH, WHEN THEY GOT TO YOUR LEVEL IS IT JUST A RUBBER STAMP FOR APPROVAL? DO YOU JUST DO IT AS A PACKET ALL FIVE OR SIX REQUESTS GET APPROVED? OR DO YOU ALL DO THE JOB THAT WE ELECTED YOU TO DO AND COME BACK AND SAY NO I DON'T SEE THIS AS A BENEFIT TO FORT BEND COUNTY AND WE NEED TO START CUTTING COSTS WHERE WE CAN AND TAKE ACTION TO DO SO.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO LEAVE YOU WITH.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MARK

HASTINGS ON AGENDA ITEM 6A30. >> GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF FORT BEND COUNTY SINCE 1987.

THEY DID A TERRIFIC JOB OF COVERING MY THOUGHTS AS WELL.

JOINS THE HOA BOARD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND REALIZING HOW IMPORTANT OVERSIGHT CAN BE TO A BUDGET AND CHECKING THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR VERY LONG TIME JUST BECAUSE IT WAS DONE ONE WAY FOR A LONG TIME DOESN'T MEAN IT'S THE CORRECT WAY TO KEEP DOING IT. I'D JUST ASK YOU, I THINK THAT CONTINUING EDUCATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SOME OTHER AREAS, BUT I WOULD ASK YOU TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS AND TRAVEL -- BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NEWS ARTICLES THAT HAS A SOUL CHECKING A BIT.

WE WOULD HOPE YOU WATCH OUR MONEY A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

THANK YOU. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS GREG MOORE ON 12H.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE BEFORE YOU PICK ARISE ON THE ISSUE -- ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON...

AND I REPRESENT THE PARSONS, LONGTIME RESIDENTS OF FORT BEND COUNTY TRYING TO SELL THEIR HOME.

BILL IS UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT RIGHT NOW AND DOES DEALING WITH A VERY BAD DIAGNOSIS.

I'M HOPING THIS DOES NOT ADD TO HIS ISSUES.

IT'S A FAIRLY SIMPLE REQUEST FOR AN AMENDED PLANT AS YOU SEE ON THE APPROVAL ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

THERE'S A LOT OF REPLANT REQUESTS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY. THIS IS NOT A REPOT REQUEST, IT'S AN AMENDING PLAT REQUEST. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN STATE LAW BETWEEN A REPLY IT AND PLAT. THE AMENDED PLAT AS -- WAS OUTLINED EARLIER'S TO MOVE AN EXISTING PROPERTY LINE TO DEAL WITH A PRE-EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT ENCROACHES ON THAT PROPERTY LINE. THAT IS EXACTLY OUR SITUATION.

THE HOA IS ATTEMPTING TO ENFORCE, IN THIS COURT WHICH HAS NO ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT, A PROVISION IN THE HOA AGREEMENT THAT TALKS ABOUT REPLAT. THIS IS NOT A REPLANT.

THEY FILED A LAWSUIT 15 DAYS AGO, ONE DAY BEFORE THIS COURT'S HEARING ON MARCH 26TH AND KAMAN AT THAT HEARING ON MARCH 26 AND WAIVE THE LAWSUIT AROUND AND SAID EMERGENCY, TEMPORARY RESTRAINT ORDER. WE'RE GOING TO GET THE FORT BEND COUNTY COURT TO ISSUE AN ORDER THAT THE PARSONS CAN'T DO THIS. THEY TOLD ME THAT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD THE COURT TOO.

I TALKED TO THE COURT CLERK, WE FILED A RESPONSE AND COUNTER CLAIMS. THE COURT CLERK SAID IF THEY WANT TO GET A HEARING ON THEIR MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER IT WOULD'VE TAKEN THREE TO FOUR DAYS TO DO THAT.

THIS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. THEY HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE A HEARING AND HAVE NO ORDER PREVENTING THIS COURT FROM ACTING TODAY. THEY TOLD YOU TWO WEEKS AGO THEY WERE GOING ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS TO PREVENT YOU FROM ACTING.

HERE WE ARE TWO WEEKS LATER AND THEY'VE TAKEN NO SUCH ACTION, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN THEIR CONTROL.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE STATE LAW WHICH WE OUTLINED IN OUR RESPONSE TO THEIR PETITIONS.

IT CLEARLY SHOWS THIS IN -- AN AMENDED PLAT AND NOT A REPLANT AND THAT'S WHY THE PARSONS WENT FORWARD.

AS WAS SAID EARLIER, THE HOA BOARD TOLD THEM THIS WAS FINE, YOU DON'T NEED OUR APPROVAL. YOU DON'T NEED OUR APPROVAL SO THEY WENT AHEAD AND GOT APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF HOUSTON, FORT BEND COUNTY CLERK, COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, DRAINAGE -- THE ENGINEER FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS ON THE FORT BEND COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ACTUALLY REQUIRE THEM TO MOVE THEIR ENTIRE SEPTIC SYSTEM OFF THE ENCROACHED ON LOT BEFORE THEY WOULD DO IT. PARSONS DID THAT AT THEIR EXPENSE ON GOT THAT APPROVED. THE ONLY APPROVAL THEY HAVE LEFT IS FROM THIS COURT. RIGHT HERE.

DELAY IS LOSS FOR THE PARSONS. THE HOA WANTS THIS COURT TO KICK

[00:30:04]

THEY HAVEN'T HEARD REASON WHY. THIS AMENDING REPLAT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY VIOLATE ANY OF THE HOA RULES AT ISSUE AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD THAT IT DOES. BUT IF THE HOA DENIES THE PARSONS THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT FOR THE SALE OF THEIR HOME, THAN THE PARSONS ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO PURSUE THAT LITIGATION. IF THEY GOT THE APPROVAL THAT THEY NEED AND THE HOA GETS OUT OF THEIR WAY AND LETS THEM SELL THEIR HOME, THEN THEY WON'T PURSUE THAT LITIGATION IN ALL OF THIS GOES AWAY. WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR THIS COURT TO APPROVE THE PLAT THAT IS PROPER AND FULLY COMPLIANT AND THAT THERE'S NO ORDER PREVENTING THIS COURT FROM DOING.

THANK YOU. >> THE FINAL SPEAKER IS TO WREAK... ON AGENDA ITEM 12H.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSION. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY.

I'M ALSO HERE IN SUPPORT OF ITEM H11 APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TO THAT PLAT. I'D SIMPLY ECHO AND INCORPORATE THE COMMENTS MADE BY MY NEIGHBORS MS. PHAN AND MR. IN THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PARSONS. I AM A LONG TIME BORN AND RAISED IN FORT BEND COUNTY, HAVE OWNED IN SHILOH LAKE ESTATES FOR FIVE YEARS. IT'S A WONDERFUL LITTLE COMMUNITY. I THINK AS YOU'VE HEARD, YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT SORT OF THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND I THINK IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

YOU HAVE AN HOA BOARD THAT HAS DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO USURP THE AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION OF THIS COMMISSION HERE.

I THINK WE COME TO YOU TODAY TO BE THOUGHTFUL AND REASONABLE ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY BEING ATTEMPTED HERE, WHICH IS WELL WITHIN THE RULES AND CONFINES OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN OUR COUNTY.

WHAT THE PARSONS ARE DOING IS NOT EXTRAORDINARY, AS YOU'VE HEARD. IT FOLLOWS TO THE LETTER AND THEY'VE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER THE REQUIREMENTS TO AMEND, NOT REPLAT. SIMPLY AMEND THEIR LOT LINES SO THEY CAN ULTIMATELY SELL THESE PROPERTIES AND MOVE ON THEIR WAY. THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS, IT'S A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY AND I THINK ULTIMATELY WHAT WE ARE REALLY SEEKING HERE IS THIS COMMISSION TO ASSERT ITS JURISDICTION, APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT AND LET THE PARSONS GET ON THEIR WAY. AS AN OWNER IN THAT LITTLE COMMUNITY, I'VE NO CONCERNS AT ALL.

THESE WERE ALWAYS WALKED WHILE LOTS AND ONE FACT THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN PRESENTED AS THERE WERE -- ALREADY LOTS SMALLER THAN WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED TO THIS COMMISSION.

I THINK THAT'S A CONVENIENT OMISSION BY THOSE WHO MAY OPPOSE THIS. THERE ARE LOTS SMALLER THAN AN ACRE. THERE ARE LOTS -- THIS IS REALLY ABOUT KEEPING TWO LOTS AS TWO LOTS, MOVING THE LINES SO THAT THE SALE CAN PROCEED AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN MOVE ON.

I THINK AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THIS, THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THE LITIGATION AND LITIGATION WILL CONTINUE REGARDLESS AND I THINK THAT'S PRETTY INDICATIVE OF HOW THIS HOA BOARD HAS ATTEMPTED TO INFLUENCE WHAT REALLY IS BEFORE THIS COMMISSION, I THINK IS WELL WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THIS COMMISSION. SO I WOULD JUST SUGGEST YOU NOT GET TOO DISTRACTED BY THE NOISE. IT'S A VERY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD AMENDMENT AND DOESN'T RAISE ANY ALARM BELLS FROM MANY OF US. MOST OF US IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND AS A PROPERTY OWNER, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE TWO AND REMAINS TWO AND THE TOTAL SIZE IS THE SAME AND USAGES THE SAME.

IT'S REALLY A VERY SIMPLE THING THAT'S GETTING DROWNED OUT WITH A LOT OF NOISE THAT I THINK FALLS -- IT FALL TO THE SIDE AND WE SHOULD FOCUS ON REALLY SOMETHING THAT'S OTHERWISE VERY SIMPLE AND WELL WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THIS COMMISSION, NOT THE HOA. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> WE WILL MOVE ONTO NEXT ITEM ITEM. ITEM NUMBER 5 PUBLIC HEARING, CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE ACTION FROM THE FOLLOWING MATTERS AS PUBLISHED AND PRESENTED.
