[5. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1:00 p.m.: Conduct Public Hearings and take all appropriate action on the following matters:]

DO WE HAVE ANY? >> WE HAVE FOUR. >> OKAY.

>> FIRST IS JOE ZIMMERMAN, AGENDA ITEM A. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY TO CELEBRATE SUCH EXCITING PROJECT AS TESLA. YOU HAVE CONDUCTED YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND I KNOW YOU WILL MAKE A GREAT DECISION ON BEHALF OF TAXPAYERS, I AM FORMER MAYOR OF SUGAR LAND AND TRUSTEE ON THE GEORGE FOUNDATION, ALTHOUGH I REPRESENT NEITHER ORGANIZATION, I'M HERE REPRESENTING NANCY AND MYSELF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DECISION

THAT YOU ALL MAKE ON TESLA TODAY AND WE ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THAT. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR

COMING. NEXT. >> JOSEPH ESH, 25A.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, JUDGE, MEMBERS OF THE COURT. I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT I WOULD SAY WHEN I GOT HERE AND REALIZE IT HAS BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE I WALKED INTO THIS BUILDING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I CAME TO TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

DIFFERENT COMMISSIONER COURT AND DIFFERENT JUDGE AND MEMBERS, SAME VISION.

THERE HAS BEEN A VISION TO TURN FORT BEND INTO EMEMPLOYEEMENT CENTER NOT JUST PLACE TO COME TO STAY AT NIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF FORT BEND REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP INVOLVED IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YOU'RE AT THE CUSP OF ACHIEVING SOMETHING BEEN A VISION OF THIS COUNTY FOR 40 YEARS. IT IS TO YOUR CREDIT THAT YOU HAVE COME TO THIS POINT. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS IS ONE OF THE FIVE LARGEST PROJECTS THIS NATION HAS EVER SEEN IN SIZE AND THIS COUNTY HAS ATTRACTED TO POINT WHERE WE ARE BEING CONSIDERED. THIS IS RED LETTER DAY FOR ALL OF US AND I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE

[00:05:06]

TIME AND I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> DAWN JANESON ON AGENDA ITEM 25B. >> JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS --

>> LIFT THE MIC UP. >> OH, FIRST TIME THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME, ALWAYS DOING THIS. MAYBE I'M GROWING UP. THAT IS AWESOME.

>> SOME OF US ARE HEARING CHALLENGED. THANK YOU.

>> DOWN NOW. THERE WE GO. PERFECT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M HERE IN FAVOR OF THE TESLA PROJECT, AS WELL, I'VE WORKED HERE 47 YEARS, LIVED HERE 35 YEARS, WE HAVE BUSINESSES IN DEVELOPMENT.

SO PART OF WHAT WE DID SUGAR LAND PROPERTY IS CREATE JOBS. I THINK THAT IS THE THING THAT DRIVES EVERYTHING, JOBS PCREATES PLACES TO LIVE AND RETAIL SHOPPING AND SO THE FACT THIS IS GOING TO CREATE ROUGHLY 13,000 JOBS, IT IS PAYROLL OF 1.3 BILLION, 1100 CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND 13,000 PERIPHERY JOBS, SUPPORT SERVICES, NOT JUST THE COMPANY IT IS WHAT IT DOES FOR THE COMMUNITY. FACT IT REDUCES COMMUTE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

22% OF FORT BEND COUNTY RESIDENTS COMMUTE AND SO -- I MEAN 65% AND SO WHAT WE THINK IS THAT BY ADDING THESE JOBS HERE, IT WILL ADD TO QUALITY OF LIFE. I WORK HERE, I LIVE OUT HERE.

IF I WORKED DOWNTOWN, I COULDN'T COACH MY SON'S BASEBALL TEAM, COULDN'T BE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.

CREATING JOBS HERE WILL ADD TO QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN GENERAL.

I THINK ALSO IT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON SECTION C OF THE GRAND PARKWAY, WHICH WE ALL WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. THIS COULD ACCELERATE THAT. THAT WOULD BE A HUGE ADVANTAGE.

SUBSTANTIAL STATE AND LOCAL TAX GENERATION, 1.1 BILLION, LOCAL BUSINESS EXPENDITURE, 107 BILLION IN GDP, EARNINGS WITHIN TEXAS OVER THE PERIOD, THAT WAS ANALYZED.

I THINK ONE THING THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS FOR ME AS A GRANDPARENT NOW, SIX GRANDKIDS, STARTED WITH NO KIDS WHEN I CAME HERE. CREATE FUTURE FOR THEM, GOOD QUALITY JOBS HERE IN FORT BEND COUNTY, WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY AND LEGACY WE ARE LEAVING FOR THEM.

FOR ALL THOSE REASONS I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR TAKING IT

ON AND FOR YOUR ANALYSIS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> LAST IS JEREMY HEATH ON AGENDA ITEM 25 A. >> HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE WONG, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE DO HAVE 10 REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF THE PARTNERSHIP HERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT. I'M ALSO HERE WEARING THREE DIFFERENT HATS, MY PROFESSIONAL HAT WITH THE PARTNERSHIP, MY PERSONAL HAT AS THE FATHER OF A 2025 FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, AND CURRENT FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, AND MY FORT BEND COUNTY TAXPAYER HAT AS HOMEOWNER IN RIVERSIDE RANCH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON ADDRESSING PROPOSED PROJECT ITSELF. IT WOULD BE AS JOE ESH POINTED OUT ONE OF THE LARGEST PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY WITH INVESTMENT OF $10 BILLION DIRECT FULL TIME EMPLOYEE COUNT OF 10,000 BY 2023.

IT IS HARD TO WRAP ONE'S MIND AROUND THOSE NUMBERS, I WANT TO POINT OUT WHAT I THINK IS MOST IMPORTANT THING FROM PERSPECTIVE OF FELLOW PROPERTY OWNER AND TAXPAYER.

FORT BEND COUNTY 75 TO 80S % OF COUNTRY TAX VALUATION IS RESIDENTIAL, 20 TO 25% COMMERCIAL, WHICH MEAN RESIDENTS TAKE ON LION SHARE OF THE TAX BURDEN.

LIKE SO MANY COMMUNITY IES RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION DRIVEN GROWTH FOR BETTER PART OF THREE DECADES AND RARELY DO PROPERTY TAXES LEVIED ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PAY FOR COST TO PROVIDE

[00:10:04]

THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE OF AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SIMPLY DOES NOT COVER THE COST TO SERVICE THE PROPERTY. THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE WAY TO SHIFT SOME OF THAT TAX BURDEN AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS IS TO ATTRACT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES WHICH CARRY HIGHER VALUATION FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FIXED ASSET AND GENERATE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER TAX BILL FOR SQUARE FOOT. PUTTING ABOUT 4 BILLION DOLLARS OF COMMERCIAL ON THE TAX ROLLS WOULD ACCELERATE CLOSING THAT GAP TO A DEGREE MOST CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS OUR COUNTRY WOULD WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS. AND AS A FATHER, MY WIFE AND I HAVE PROMISED OUR SONS WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THEIR DREAMS WHETHER THAT TAKES THEM ACROSS THE WORLD OR ACROSS THE COUNTY. WE'D PREFER IT TO BE ACROSS THE COUNTY.

I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF PARENTS WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY. IF WE LAND THIS PROJECT, ALONG WITH HIGH-TECH HIGH-PAYING JOB OPPORTUNITIES IT BRINGS WITH IT, IT CREATES THOUSANDS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR KIDS TO MAKE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE AND BUILD THEIR LIVES HERE AT HOME.

I HUMBLY ASK THE COURT TO OPEN UP ITS ARMS AND WELCOME THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND YOUR ATTENTION. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> NO MORE PUBLIC SPEAKERS. >> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU, MOVING FORWARD IT IS 1:11 P.M., WE WILL MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 5. PUBLIC HEARING, CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING MATTERS, I NOW OPEN PUBLIC HEARING SESSION FOR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A THROUGH H, AS PUBLIC POST AND DESCRIBE ON THE AGENDA.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PUBLIC HEARINGS TODAY? I WILL ASK AGAIN. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TODAY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PUBLIC HEARINGS? CLOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND INFORMED THESE ITEMS ARE READY

FOR ACTION. >> YES, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT 5 A-H.

>> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. GO TO PRESENT CONSENT SIXT6-20,E

[ CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS: (6-20) ]

PLEASE CONFIRM. >> DATE TO TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE NOVEMBER 23RD INSTEAD OF

NOVEMBER 24TH. FOR 12I AND 12J. >> DO I HAVE MOTION TO APPROVE

CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 6-20 PRESENTED? >> AS AMENDED I MOVE WITH

NOTE -- >> SURE, ABSOLUTELY. IF I CAN REQUEST NO, WE GOT FEEDBACK AFTER LAST COUPLE MEETINGS IF MY COLLEAGUES COULD SPEAK DIRECTLY INTO THE MIC.

>> OKAY. I MOVE THAT APPROVAL OF 6-20 WITH NOTED CORRECTIONS.

>> SECOND. >> I DO HAVE MOTION AND SEEK, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. LET'S GO TO ITEM NUMBER 20, I

BELIEVE, LET'S SEE. 21. >> KNOW TWO.

>> 21, THAT'S RIGHT. WE PASSED 20 ON CONSENT AGENDA. SECTION THREE, 21 PRESENTED

[21. COUNTY JUDGE:]

UNDER COUNTY JUDGE. >> APPROVAL OF 21 AS PRESENTED. >> SECOND.

>> I HAVE MOTION AND SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? >> YEAH, THIS ITEM IS COMING UP AFTER THE REMOVAL OF MR. CANTU, FROM THE LEVY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 10 BOARD DURING LAST COMMISSIONER COURT MEETING. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF STATEMENTS MADE DURING THAT PROCESS, A NUMBER OF THEM WERE FLAT OUT FALSE. I THINK IT IS WORTH NOTING, I WISH WE DID NOT HAVE TO BE IN THIS SORT OF SITUATION TODAY BUT HERE WE ARE.

THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW WHY MR. CANTU WAS REMOVED AFTER I APPOINTED HIMAS THAT AFTER

[00:15:04]

THE REASON WHY I ELECTED TO KEEP HIM ON THAT BOARD WAS SO HE COULD CONTINUE TO SHARE HISTORICAL INFORMATION. HE OPPOSED MEASURE SAYS FROM THE BOARD TO TRANSITION AND CREASE RESIDENT PARTICIPATION IN THE LEVY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARD. I EXPANDED THAT BOARD FROM THREE MEMBER BOARD TO FIVE MEMBER BOARD AND MADE IT 100% RESIDENT BOARD AND HE OPPOSED THOSE EFFORTS AND THERE WERE CLAIMS MADE ABOUT THE REPRESENTATION OF HISPANIC MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ON LEVY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARDS. ACCORDING TO WATER ASSOCIATION, WITH THE LID AND MUD BOARD IN FORT BEND COUNTY THERE ARE OVER 57 HISPANIC MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE SERVING. SO LET THE RECORD REFLECTS THAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THINGS, THE REASON WHY I ELECTED TO REMOVE MR. CANTU, FROM THE LEVY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARD TO BE A RESPONSIBLE STEWARD OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE FAIR AND GOOD REPRESENTATION THAT COOPERATE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND TODAY I WILL SUPPORT HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE SUBSIDANCE DISTRICT BOARD, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS RISK OF MISUSE OF THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST HERE BECAUSE HE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME SORTS OF REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES HE WAS

ELIGIBLE FOR ON THE LID BOARD. >> COMMISSIONER, I ORIGINALLY APPOINTED HIM, YOU REAPPOINTED

HIM. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> IS ALL RIGHT, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DO HAVE MOTION AND SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. LET'S GO TO ANTISEMITISM -- AGENDA ITEM 22, HAS BEEN PULLED.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED, ANY DISCUSSION?

>> I HAVE QUESTION, COMMISSIONER. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH FIT HOUSTON ALREADY. WHY AREN'T WE WORKING OFF OF THAT AGREEMENT?

>> THIS IS SHOULD BE STYLED AS RENEWAL, THIS IS AGREEMENT WE'VE APPROVED AND I THINK THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WE'VE HAD THIS AGREEMENT WITH FIT HOUSTON. BUT PAAPPARENTLY IT DID NOT INCLUDE RENEWAL CLAUSE, THIS IS CONTINUATION OF THAT PROGRAM. CONTRACT OR MOU THAT EXIST WITH HHS, CAME ABOUT AFTER WE STARTED WORKING, YOU WILL RECALL WE SET UP FORT BEND INITIATIVE WITH FIT HOUSTON AND DONE A WHOLE BUNCH OF WALKING GROUPS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING, AND PRECINCT 4 WE'VE DONE SIDEWALK AUDITS THAT LED TO SOME SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS WE HAVE AND ARE ABOUT TO KICKOFF. BUT AFTER RECOGNIZING THE COLLABORATION AND THERE IS A WHOLE COMMITTEE WE HAVE THAT INCLUDES HHS, HHS WANTED TO GET THEIR OWN MOU, TO EXTEND PROGRAMMING AND LAST YEAR WE ENTERED INTO THAT MOU, IT MIRROR THIS AND ALLOW US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PROGRAMMING HHS DOES ACROSS THE COUNTY AND NOT JUST LIMIT TO PRECINCT 4.

>> ALL RIGHT. ONE THING I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT --

>> CAN YOU SPEAK UP? >> SPEAK INTO THE MIC. >> ONE THING I WAS TRYING TO

UNDERSTAND IS IT IS FUNDING TWO POSITIONS. >> CORRECT.

>> ARE THOSE POSITIONS CREATED BY HR, HAVE WE APPROVED TWO POSITIONS?

[00:30:05]

>> I'LL ABSTAIN. >> ABSTAIN. >> ABSTAIN.

>> SO 2-0. >> YOU HAD THREE ABSTAIN. YOU DON'T HAVE MAJORITY VOTE, IT

WOULD FAIL. >> MOTION FAIL. >> ABSTENTION RECALL CLATS TOTAL NUMBER IN VOTE AND DOES NOT COUNT AGAINST. OF VOTING MEMBERS UNLESS MR. WONG CHOOSING TO ABSTAIN, TWO OF THREE THAT REMAIN REPRESENT MAJORITY.

>> SO YOU WOULD ONLY, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE QUORUM WITH TWO PRESENT IN VOTING YES?

>> THAT DOES NOT CHANGE QUORUM CALCULATION ACCORDING TO ROBERTS RULE OF ORDER.

WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS BEFORE IN THE PAST, THEY ARE STILL PRESENT IN THE MEETING ABSTAINING FROM VOTING ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AND FOR THAT CALCULATION THE VOTE WOULD BE OF THREE PARTICIPATING MEMBERS TWO VOTED IN AFFIRMATIVE AND THIS MEASURE WOULD PASS.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE THREE PARTICIPATING IN THE VOTE IS THE ISSUE.

>> YEAH. ONLY TWO YES AND THREE ABSTAIN. TWO YES AND THREE ABSTAIN.

>> MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION. PERHAPS YOU TAKE THAT ITEM UP AFTER MAYBE CLOSED SESSION AND MR. MORRIS AND I CAN CHECK WITH EACH OTHER, WE MAY HAVE A DIFFERING OF OPINION.

BUT THES COURT WOULD BENEFIT FROM ALLOWING US TO CHECK IN. >> I'M FINE WITH THAT.

>> WE CAN CERTAINLY DISCUSS IT LATER MAYBE TAKE IT UP BUT THAT IS 2 YES AND 3 ABSTAIN.

>> HOW ABOUT THIS, I'M CURIOUS AS TO MY COLLEAGUES LACK OF SUPPORT AFTER HAVING SPOUPPORTE THIS FOR TWO YEARS GOING INTO THREE, CAN YOU COME TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND SOME SUCCESSES

WE'VE EXPERIENCED? >> MAYBE WE CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION AFTER THIS MEETING.

>> HE CAN SHARE. >> PLEASE. >> I MEAN, WELL, I HAVE NOT

BEEN ASKED, I DON'T KNOW I AGREE WITH ANALYSIS. >> HAVE ALI MAKE A

PRESENTATION. >> SURE. GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS, I WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING FIT FORT BEND HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS WE'VE HAD IN THE COUNTY LAST FEW YEARS, IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2023 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FIT HOUSTON WHO HAS DONE AMAZING WORK WITH HOUSTON AND HARRIS COUNTY AND PUTTING TOGETHER LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS. WHAT WE HAD ASKED THEM TO DO IS HELP US HOW DO WE PROGRAM AND HOW DO WE INITIATE MORE HEALTHY EXERCISE LIFESTYLE AND WELLNESS, BECAUSE WE KNOW HEALTHY OUTCOMES ARE OVER 80% OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS HAPPEN OUTSIDE A CLINIC.

WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD EXPERIENCE IN HOUSTON AND PUT IT IN.

FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM IS TO HELP SUPPORT EMPLOYEES THEY HAVE HIRED TO DO WORK HERE IN FORT BEND COUNTY AS PART OF THAT CONTRACT WE PROVIDE SPACE AND CERTAIN COUNTY RESOURCES LIKE AN E-MAIL SO THEY CAN COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY. WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, WHAT HAS HAPPENED OVER COURSE OF THIS YEAR, THIS PROGRAM BLOSSOMED TO BE A VERY LARGE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AMONG THE MOST NOTABLE NONPROFITS IN THE AREA. COMMUNITY PARTNERS THIS PROGRAM HAS HELPED BRING TOGETHER IS COOL CAT CYCLES, REACHING RICHMOND, TEXAS AGRI-LIFE EXTENSION, PARKS DEPARTMENT, RISK MANAGEMENT, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, FORT BEND SENIOR, MEALS ON WHEELS IS PART OF THIS COMMITTEE, KEEP BEAUTIFUL, THE HEALTH FOUNDATION, AARP, NOTABLE, THEY HAVE PROVIDED GRANTS TO FIT FORT BEND SPECIFICALLY FOR WORK WE ARE DOING ACROSS FORT BEND COUNTY. FORT BEND COUNTY LIBRARY, ACCESS HEALTH AMAZING PARTNER, CITIZEN TRANSPORTATION COALITION, HEARTFULNESS ADVANCING WITH KINDNESS AND OF COURSE FBI AND LCISD, PART OF COLLABORATION THAT HAPPENED AS PART OF THIS

[00:35:06]

SPECIFICALLY WHAT THIS CONTRACT ALLOW THEM TO DO IN PRECINCT 4 AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN PILOTING IS THE NIGHT AUDIT AS COMMISSION WAS MENTIONING, WALKING GROUPS, VOLUNTEER GROUPS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TO GO WALK THEIR SIDEWALKS AND SEE THE CONNECTIVITY ISSUES.

I THINK FOR ALL OF YOU GEN GENTLEMEN, IN FORT BEND COUNTY IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS LARGEST ISSUE WE HAVE IS CONNECTIVITY, SAFE PEDESTRIAN AND NONVEHICLE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN ALL THESE MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES THAT WERE BUILT INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER.

WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION HAS DONE THROUGH BIKE COMMITTEE IS HELP IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THOSE MISSING CONNECTIONS ON PRACTICAL LEVEL AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE IN THIS COLLABORATION HAS DONE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GO AFTER TXDOT AND BEEN ABLE TO GET THE AARP GRANTS AND THEY ARE WORKING TO GET MORE GRANTS FROM HGAC AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

WHAT IS EXCITING IT HAS TAKEN LIFE OF ITS OWN. SO WITH US IN PRECINCT 4 WE UTILIZE DATA THEY ARE COLLECTING IN REALTIME WITH NEIGHBORS AND RESIDENTS AND DOING IT AND TURNING IT INTO REAL IMPROVEMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY. MINOR IMPROVEMENT, MISSING CURB HERE, STRIPING ISSUES ARE ISSUES WE'RE ABLE TO SEND TO ROAD AND BRIDGE TO GET EFFECT. IF ISSUE WITH PARKS WE DON'T HAVE WIDE ENOUGH SIDEWALKS FOR SENIORS TO WALK SIDE BY SIDE AND TALK WITH EACH OTHER, WE EXPANDING TRAILS IN FOUR CORNERS COMMUNITY CENTER TO BE 12 FEET WIDE INSTEAD OF FIVE OR SIX FEET. THEY HELPED PUT TOGETHER SAFETY PROGRAMMING FOR ADULT TRIKE LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY GARDEN AND HELPING GET THOSE ISSUES OUT. I WILL SAY THE FUNDING FOR THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR CAD SAYS, MOU'S WITH OTHER DEPARTMENT ALLOW THEM TO DO THEIR WORK OUTSIDE. WHEN IT COMES TO PURPOSE OF THESE FUNDS WHEN EMPLOYEES ISSUE DOING WORK THAT BENEFIT CADS WE ARE INVOICING AND CHARGING FOR. WORK HAPPENING IN FORT BEND WERE BECAUSE OF SUCCESS AND ABILITY TO GET AND GENERATE NEW GRANTS FUNDED FROM OTHER GRANT SOURCES, AS WELL, THIS IS ONE THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF MOVING PARTS AND PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER AND WORKING TOGETHER AND BEEN GREAT FOR FORT BEND COUNTY. QUESTIONS?

>> YES, SIR. >> WHY WOULDN'T THIS PROGRAM WORK THROUGH HHS?

>> SO -- >> WE COULD DO THE SAME THING, WORK IT --

>> COMMISSIONER, ISSUE IS FUNDING, WE ARE FUNDING THIS SPECIFICALLY FROM THE CAD, INVOICES THAT WE ARE APPROVING FOR IS WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE DOING WORK SPECIFICALLY THAT BENEFIT CAD. IT HAS GROWN SO MUCH IT IS GOING TO HHS.

IF WE WERE TO BASE THIS OUT OF HHS AND THEY ARE DOING WORK OUTSIDE OF THESE FOUR CAD AREAS WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE FUNDS IN THOSE WAYS. IF WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE GENERAL FUND, FUNDING FROM ANOTHER CONTRACT SOURCE, I COULD SEE A SITUATION WHERE WE CAN GROW.

HOW WE TALK ABOUT GROWING THIS TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PRECINCT 4 ACROSS FORT BEND COUNTY IS IMPORTANT BUT IT COMES DOWN TO FUNDING SOURCE AND RESTRICTION ON FUNDING SOURCE.

>> AND CAD IN THE PROVISION OF ALLOWABLE EXPENSES WITH SALES TAX REVENUE, IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC TO KNOW AS WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION NO PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS ARE SPENT ON THIS WHATSOEVER. WE'VE BEEN AS ALI POINTED OUT, IDENTIFY PROJECT PRIORITIZED AS RESULT OF SOME WORK OF THIS INITIATIVE AND WE LAUNCHED AND COMMISSIONER, YOU WILL RECALL ADULT TRIKE THAT YOU RODE ON WHEN WE OPENED THE NEW TRIAL. THAT CAME OUT OF THIS FIT FORT BEND INITIATIVE AND I WORK TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN PRECINCT 4 BEING RESPONSIVE TO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED WITH OUR TOWN HALLS ACROSS THE PRECINCT WHEN I FIRST CAME INTO OFFICE, THIS IS OUR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO WHAT THE RESIDENTS IN PRECINCT 4 REQUESTED AND GIVEN THAT A LOT OF WORK CENTERS AROUND UNINCORPORATED PART OF FORT BEND COUNTY, THIS IS WHY THIS HAS BEEN INITIATIVE THAT LIVED IN MY OFFICE AND HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR US.

[00:40:06]

>> OKAY. LET ME SAY THIS. IN REALITY IS WE'RE GETTING READY TO HAVE A CHANGE NOVEMBER 3. AND HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE NEXT SITTING ELECTED OFFICIAL WOULD WANT TO PROCEED WITH THIS SAME PROGRAM? IF IT WAS UNDER HHS, OR EVEN THROUGH PARKS, THE PROGRAM WOULD SUSTAIN ITSELF GOING FORWARD.

>> I DON'T FULLY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE A WHOLE COMMITTEE THAT HELPS TO KIND OF SUPPORT THIS WORK THAT INCLUDES ALL THOSE ORGANIZATIONS YOU HEARD JUST NAMED. UNLESS SOMETHING ELSE CHANGED, I WILL SIT HERE UNTIL JANUARY 1 AND THIS CONTRACT INCLUDE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFORMING TASK AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE TODAY. IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS FIT HOUSTON HAS TO FIGURE OUT

SOMETHING ELSE AND WOULD HAVE TO STOP INITIATIVES PREVIOUSLY. >> HOW DID WE DO IT PREVIOUSLY?

>> IT SHOULD BE RENEWAL, CONTRACT DID NOT CONTAIN LANGUAGE FOR RENEWAL.

WE APPROVED IT LAST YEAR AND IN 2023, EXACT SAME THING WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE 2023.

>> I KNOW I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, YOU WILL HEAR ME AGAIN. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I'VE SAID IT, STATED BEFORE, LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED AND I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO DETAIL, INTENDED TOUN FOO FUND MOBILITY PROJECT AND TYPICAL COUNTY SERVICES SUCH AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT I STUCK TO. ONLY THING I SPENT CAD MONEY ON WAS THINGS THE LEGISLATORS WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WERE PASSING DID AND THAT WAS MY PERTAIN TO MAINLY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR VARIOUS PATROL AND MAINLY MY NEW ROADS BUILT AND FUNDED MOBILITY AND FACILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND DIDN'T ANTICIPATE FUNDING OTHER THINGS.

NOT IN FORT BEND COUNTY SO THAT IS AGAIN, MY HEARTBURN, I'M TRYING TO STICK TO WHAT THE UNDERSTANDING IS WE HAD WHEN THIS LEGISLATION WAS PASSED. THAT WAS MY HEARTBURN.

>> IN THE CODE THAT ALLOWED FOR CREATION OF COUNTY ASSISTANCE DISTRICT IT STATES ALLOWABLE EXPENSES BEING USE FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS THAT IS EXACTLY HOW WE'VE GOTTEN PARKS FACILITIES AND OTHERS ESTABLISHED, THAT IS HOW WE HAVE PROGRAMMING THIS COURT CONTINUED TO APPROVE.

IF YOU ARE SAYING, OTHER PART OF THAT, ALI POINTED OUT ANY NUMBER OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT COME AS RESULT OF WORK OF THIS GROUP. HE JUST POINTED THAT OUT TO YOU ALL AND THESE ARE PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES AND WE HAVE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE GOING UNNOTICED AND NOT NEEDING REPAIR.

>> IT IS NOT FUNDING SIDEWALK SAYS. >> THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HOW YOU HIRE A CONSULTANT TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY FOR YOU, THIS IS ENGAGING WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, DOING PHYSICAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS ACTIVITY AND DOING AUDIT OF INFRASTRUCTURES.

THAT IS NO DIFFERENT. LOOK, I RECOGNIZE POLITICS OF ALL OF THIS AND THAT IS ONLY REASON THIS IS BEING SCRUTINIZED. I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND FOR THOSE SENIORS AT FOUR CORNERS WHO BENEFIT FROM WALKING GROUP THIS ORGANIZATION STARTED THAT IS A SHAME IF THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO BECAUSE OF POLITICS OR FOR FOLKS IN MISSION WEST HAVE REPAIRED SIDEWALKS BECAUSE OF WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO WITH THIS

WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. >> I'M SORRY.

>> WE HAVE UPDATE ON THE QUESTION. >> YOU HAVE APPROVED THIS EVERY

YEAR BEFORE NOW. >> IT HAS BEEN APPROVED. >> LET THEM FINISH.

>> YES, SIR. >> IT HAS BEEN APPROVED. >> CORRECT.

>> GO AHEAD. >> THANK YOU, IT IS UNCERTAIN WHEN TO SPEAK UP.

IT IS OPINION OF COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND MR. MORRIS AGREE THAT THE ITEM HAS PASSED BASED ON NUMBER OF VOTES ACTUALLY CAST. ABSTENTIONS DO NOT COUNTY, THEY DO IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE WITH A STATUTE, MOTION PASSES ON MAJORITY VOTE AND MR. MORRIS

KINDLY CONSULTED AND WE AGREE. >> IF I CAN CLARIFY. FOR SOME ENTITIES LANGUAGE IS YOU NEED A VOTE OF MANG OF MEMBERS PRESENT, HERE IT WOULDN'T HAVE PASSED FOR COUNTY

[00:45:05]

QUORUM NOT VOTE, IT WOULD PASS 2- 0. >> GLAD WE LOOKED AND GOT IT

RESOLVED. >> THANK YOU, AGENDA ITEM THREE PASSED.
