DO WE NEED TO EXECUTIVE SESSION? UPDATE ON THE.

SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG. ALL RIGHT. LET'S LET'S GO INTO COMMISSIONER COURT COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[10. Commissioners Court Comments]

WE'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER MAR. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE ELECTRIC CREWS THAT HAD WORKED.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WORKED. THERE WAS SOME WORK GOING ON. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THIS SYSTEM ICE STORM THAT CAME IN THIS YEAR, COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, SNOWMAGEDDON BACK IN 21, THERE WAS A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN OUR GRID FUNCTIONS.

EITHER THEY CLEARED OUT POWER LINES OR THEY GOT IT SUSTAINABLE.

WHICHEVER. BUT I KNOW THERE WAS VERY MINIMUM POWER OUTAGE, SO KUDOS TO THE ELECTRIC COMPANIES OF GETTING THAT AND KEEPING, FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYBODY'S ELECTRICITY ON THROUGH THIS STORM.

SO THAT WAS A BIG PLUS. YOU KNOW, I DO STILL WANT TO THANK TEXDOT FOR GETTING OUT THERE.

AND I KNOW IT WAS TOUGH, A TOUGH SITUATION FOR THEM TRYING TO CLEAR OUT HIGHWAY 75 WITH IT ALL BEING IN CONSTRUCTION WITH THAT HIGHWAY NOW BEING A TIER ONE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THEY HAD TO STAY ON THAT HIGHWAY TO GET IT CLEANED OFF BEFORE THEY COULD MOVE TO ADDITIONAL HIGHWAYS. WHICH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WAS UPSETTING FOR A LOT OF CONSTITUENTS, BUT THEY WERE REQUIRED BY THE STATE TO DO THAT.

BUT THEY DID CALL UP EXTRA RESOURCES, AND THEY DID WORK AS MUCH AS THEY COULD.

SO CAN THERE BE IMPROVEMENT? ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE'LL DISCUSS.

BUT THEY THEY WERE WORKING 12 HOUR SHIFTS EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTIL I KNOW FROM SATURDAY TILL I THINK THIS PAST SATURDAY.

SO GOOD WORK TO THEM. THEN. ON A LIGHTER NOTE I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S GOING TO MENTION IT, BUT LAST WEEK KIND OF THREW OFF THE TIMING, BUT OUR CONTRACTED COUNTY ENGINEER, LIZ MCMANUS, FOR ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW, HE HE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND HE WAS A BIG HELP FOR THE SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME HE WAS HERE AT THE COUNTY.

HE WAS A BIG HELP IN HELPING US OUT. AND AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO GOING FORWARD.

I KNOW HIS TEAM HAS KIND OF STEPPED UP A LITTLE BIT.

DOWN IN THE AUSTIN AREA. HE WORKED FOR THE CITY OF AUSTIN FOR A LONG TIME.

BIG CONTRIBUTION DOWN IN THAT SOUTH AREA INTO A LOT OF AREAS WHERE HE HELPED OUT.

SO HE'LL BE SORELY MISSED. GREAT GUY, GREAT HUMAN BEING.

SO AGAIN, JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT THAT, OKAY? MR.. RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT? MAYBE. I COULDN'T BEGIN TO GO THROUGH AND THANK EVERYBODY FOR WEATHERING THE STORM WITH YOU. AS YOU WILL FOR LAST WEEK EMERGENCY CREWS, ROAD CREWS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, EMPLOYEES. I CAN'T EVEN I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT JUST WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL THE DEVASTATION AND LOSS.

I KNOW A LOT OF EQUINE FACILITIES IN PRECINCT THREE WERE DEVASTATED.

TOTAL LOSS. REALLY HARD TO WATCH ALL OF THAT CRUMBLE, IF YOU WILL.

AND AS WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND, I FEEL THAT PAIN AS I LOOK AT ALL MY ROADS.

THEY ARE TRASH. ALL THE MONEY THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO FIX THOSE AND GET THOSE UP.

PLEASE BE PATIENT, HAVE SOME GRACE. WE GOT TO LET IT DRY UP FIRST BEFORE WE CAN GET OUT AND CONTINUE DOING THE REPAIRS.

AND I THINK JUST TO TAG OFF OF WHAT JOSH LAID THE ROAD FOR TEX-DOT IS A PARIS DISTRICT, NOT A GRAYSON COUNTY DISTRICT. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHWAYS AND FM ROADS, NOT COUNTY ROADS.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHWAYS AND FM ROADS.

I KNOW, I KNOW. WHAT ABOUT CITY STREETS? NOT CITY STREETS EITHER.

OKAY. PARKING LOT. THERE'S A LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDING.

TEXAS PARKWAY IS A STATE HIGHWAY, NOT A COUNTY ROAD.

NOT A CITY ROAD. 126. THAT'S ALL, MR. ARTHUR.

I'LL PICK UP ON THE FRUSTRATION OF THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT ENTITIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT ROADS.

I UNDERSTAND EVERYONE'S FRUSTRATION. I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS A GENERATIONAL EVENT.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. ONE OF THE BOAT HOUSES.

I'M TOLD THAT BUNCOMBE CREEK THAT SUNK ON THE LAKE, IT LITERALLY CAME BACK UP AFTER IT MATCHED ALL THE BOATS.

THEY ESTIMATED THERE WAS A QUARTER OF 1 MILLION POUNDS ACCUMULATED ON TOP OF THAT BOAT HOUSE, LIKE, 90 FOOT WIDE. I DON'T KNOW, 400 FOOT LONG.

THAT LAST LOAD WOULD. IT WAS ABOUT 10 POUNDS PER ONE SQUARE FOOT, ONE INCH DEEP.

[00:20:06]

THAT IS NOT SNOW. IT RIVALS NOTHING MORE THAN SOLID ICE.

BUT FORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T FALL THAT WAY. AND OUR POWER GRID WAS AMAZING.

MINE NEVER FLICKERED. I WAS OUT OFF AND ON FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS.

JUST FOUR YEARS AGO. COST ME A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET.

IF YOU OWNED A SWIMMING POOL, YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT WHAT LACK OF POWER DOES TO A RUNNING POOL.

BUT THE EMPLOYEES EFFORTS. I KNOW COMMISSIONER HARDENBERG'S GOING TO ADD TO THIS.

MY GUYS WERE AT THE BARN A HALF CREW FIRST THREE DAYS, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY.

THEY WERE AT THE BARN ABOUT 6 TO 630. I HAD ALL 14 ON DECK THURSDAY.

AND THAT, OF COURSE, WAS THE BIG DAY BECAUSE THEY BOLTED 27 MILES OF COUNTY ROAD.

THE PROBLEM IS I'VE GOT 290 MILES OF COUNTY ROAD, BUT THEY STILL BLADED.

THEY BLADED RIGHT UP TILL QUITTING TIME YESTERDAY BECAUSE THERE WAS STILL SOME BACK ROADS. THE SCHOOL BUSSES WERE HAVING PROBLEMS AND OUR FIRST REAL INCIDENT, WE GOT A BLADE STUCK YESTERDAY. SO IT WAS, IT WAS A IT WAS A HECK OF AN EFFORT BY EVERYBODY, EVERY EMERGENCY RESPONDER THIS COUNTY, THIS COUNTY HELD UP.

WELL, WE DONE ALL WE COULD. AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S PATIENCE BECAUSE OUR ROADS, WE JUST GOT SET BACK A LONG WAYS ON THE IMPROVEMENTS.

OUR COUNTY ROADS. THANK YOU, MR. HARDENBERG. I WANT TO JUST THANK MY GUYS FOR COMING OUT AND DOING AS MUCH AS THEY COULD.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S HARD TO DO ANYTHING WITH A SOLID SHEET OF ICE.

CAN'T BREAK IT, CAN'T PLOW IT, JUST CAN'T GRADE IT.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE MOTOR GRADER, AND IT WAS ALL IT WAS DOING TO JUST CUT IT DOWN A COUPLE INCHES.

SO I DO LIKE I SAID THANK THANKFUL FOR THEM COMING OUT, WORKING, GETTING AS MUCH DONE AS THEY COULD.

KEEP LYNN'S FAMILY IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AS WELL.

JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WITH THE COUNTY THAT DID DID WHAT THEY COULD ALSO AND THEN PRAY FOR THE TEENAGERS FAMILIES THAT WERE LOST IN SOME OF THE SLEDDING ACCIDENTS AROUND.

I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE IN FRISCO AND I BELIEVE A SENIOR IN PONDER.

SO YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO GO OUT AND HAVE FUN, BUT BUT BE CAREFUL AT THE SAME TIME.

SO MY SON DIDN'T GET BEAT UP AT SCHOOL YESTERDAY.

HE TOOK A SKID STEER UP AND HELPED CLEAR THE PARKING LOT AT THE SCHOOL ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

HE DIDN'T COME BACK WITH ANY BLACK EYES, SO I WAS THANKFUL FOR THAT.

YEAH. I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR OUR OEM SARAH SUMMERS AND HER CREW FOR JUST COORDINATING WITH THE STATE FOR ANY EFFORTS THAT WE HAD. ALSO, SENATOR HAGAN STAYED IN CONTACT WITH ME ALL THROUGH THE WEEK LOOKING FOR ANY NEEDS THAT WE WOULD HAVE.

FORTUNATELY, WE WERE PRETTY SELF-SUSTAINABLE.

OUR PRECINCT CREWS WERE WERE AMAZING. I KNOW COMMISSIONER ARTHUR AND HIS CREW AND OUR MAINTENANCE CREW, FACILITIES, CREW, GREG ALLEN, ALL HIS GUYS CAME OUT, STARTED ON TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY. WE ACTUALLY CLEARED IT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

YEAH. WE STARTED. THAT WAS THE BIG PUSH. STARTED CHIPPING AWAY BECAUSE BY THURSDAY YOU COULD GET TO THE COURTHOUSE, BUT YOU COULDN'T GET IN THE COURTHOUSE. SO IT WAS A LOT OF WORK AND EFFORT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE'S PARTS, BUT ALSO THANKS JUST TO THE CITIZENS IN GENERAL, THOSE THAT UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION AND STAYED OFF THE ROADS UNTIL THEY BEGAN TO THAW ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY WERE CLEARING SOME RUTS.

I KNOW WE HAD SOME ACCIDENTS, BUT THOSE WERE MAINLY IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE AREAS WHERE THE WATER COULDN'T DRAIN.

AND IT'S JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE.

BUT THANKS FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR ALL THEIR WORK AND MEALS ON WHEELS TEAM GETTING OUT THERE AND COORDINATING BECAUSE THE, THE, THE LENGTH OF THE, THE SNOW STAYING ON THE GROUND CREATED SOME ISSUES, BUT THEY CAME UP WITH A PLAN.

I KNOW OUR OEM TEAM WORKED WITH THEM ON THAT, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE WE SURVIVED IT.

WE WE'RE NOT WE'RE STILL NOT GOING TO BUY SNOW PLOWS BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED TO BUY A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO USE ONCE EVERY 10 TO 15 YEARS.

AND I APOLOGIZE TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT WANT US TO SPEND OUR $20 ON THAT, BUT I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S EFFICIENT.

NO, THAT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THIS INSTANCE. IT WOULDN'T SNOW. IT WAS ALL US.

YEP. SO WITH THAT 9.15, PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071, COMMISSIONERS

[9.15 Pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071 Commissioners Court reserves the right to meet in executive session to consult with attorney.]
