>> MISS SUMMERS. >> I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY IN GRAYSON COUNTY FOR WORKING WITH US THROUGH THE PROBLEM WE HAD WITH OUR CODE RED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS WHICH HAPPENED LAST TIME IT RAINED. IT WAS IN RELATION TO HOW THEIR SYSTEM WORKED WITH THE FLOOD WARNING.

THEY HAVE ASSURED US, IT IS FIXED.

AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

BUT I JUST WANT TO BRING UP THE FACT, THE COURT IS GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON DROUGHT AND FIRE DANGER.

THAT EVEN WHEN WE ARE UNDER A DROUGHT AND UNDER THE KIND OF FIRE DANGER WE ARE, FLOOD THREAT IS VERY REAL.

FLOOD IS THE GREATEST HAZARD FOR GRAYSON COUNTY.

WE HAVE LOST LIVES TO IT IN THE PAST.

VERY OFTEN, IT HAS BEEN AFTER A MAJOR DROUGHT WHEN THE SOIL IS BRICK HARD. OUR LOVELY CLAY SOIL.

WE HAVE CHANGES TO OUR ENVIRONMENT.

I HOPE EVERYONE WILL WATCH THE WEATHER THIS WEEK, AND HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR WARNING NOTICES LIKE WE DID

LAST TIME. >> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? MR. CROW.

>> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS.

TAKE THE LIGHT OFF OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL SINCE I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE A HOT TOPIC DURING COMMISSIONERS COURT IN A FEW MINUTES. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE ROUND BALL AND THE OBLONG BALL AND THE BROWN AND TALK ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL BASS FISHING. OFFICIALLY KICKED THAT OFF THREE WEEKS AGO. GRAYSON COUNTY IN OUR NORTH TEXAS DIVISION ALONG WITH A TON OF OTHER SCHOOLS.

GRAYSON COUNTY CURRENTLY HAS 12 SCHOOLS THAT PARTICIPATE.

KUDOS TO GUNNER OUT OF THIS LAST WEEKEND'S TOURNAMENT.

THEY HAVE THREE PLACES IN THE TOP 20, FIRST, TENTH, AND 15.

WE HAD FIVE IN THE TOP 20 OUT OF GRAYSON COUNTY.

IF YOU NEVER COME TO AN EVENT, TEXOMA IS THE CLOSEST.

THAT WON'T BE UNTIL APRIL OF 2027.

THESE KIDS PUT IN A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF EFFORT.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME TO COME OUT AND WATCH.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE SCHOOLS.

SECOND THING REAL QUICK. I HAVE OCTOBER.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW, OCTOBER 1ST THROUGH THE 31ST IS CYBERSECURITY MONTH. AND HOPEFULLY YOU GET THE QUARTERLY TRAININGS THAT EVERYBODY SO QUICKLY LOVES TO DO AND TAKES CARE OF IT ON THE FIRST DAY.

THEY HAVE THINGS SQUARED AWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO OVER THERE. THEY USUALLY DONE WITHIN THE FIRST 15-20 DAYS WITH THEIR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT.

KUDOS TO YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THAT.

IS THE ONES HE'S ENTHUSES THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO FIGHT ON THE LAST DAY TO GET THEM TO COMPLETE THEIR TRAINING TO GET THEM IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS.

>> I THINK HE THREATENED US WITH JAIL TIME.

>> HE COULD. I'M NOT IN THAT.

ON THAT, COMMISSIONERS COURT, I'M STANDING FOR YOU TO ANNOUNCE OCTOBER OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH.

THIS IS AN ANNUAL INITIATIVE THAT HIGHLIGHTS OUR COMMITMENT TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, SECURING OUR COMMUNITY DATA AND TRAINING OUR EMPLOYEES WORKFORCE TO COMBAT THOSE DIGITAL THREATS. OUR DIGITAL SAFETY RELIES ON PROACTIVE GOVERNMENT'S, ROBUST TECHNOLOGIES, CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, YOUR I.T.

ONE OF THOSE AGAIN IS OUR QUARTERLY EMPLOYEE TRAINING.

WHICH HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY GETS COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THERE ARE SOME KID THINGS. WE HAVE KIDS, GET THEM INVOLVED.

EVERYBODY FROM THE AGE OF 1-101 HAS SOME KIND OF DEVICE IN THEIR HAND DOING SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET THAT AFFECTS THE CYBERSECURITY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. >> ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS?

>> YOU ASKED FOR IT. >> I DID, I DID.

I VOLUNTOLD. I APPRECIATE THE TRUST THAT I HAVE IN COURT DOING THIS. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT'S GOING TO BE AN EASY LEARNING CURVE. I'M KIND OF COMPUTER ILLITERATE.

I HAVE SOME GOOD PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING ME UP AND RUNNING.

[9.2 Discuss and take action to consider extension of our current burn ban due to drought conditions. Current burn ban is set to expire on September 30, 2026.]

9.2, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION TO CONSIDER EXTENSION OF OUR CURRENT BURN BAN DUE TO DROUGHT CONDITIONS.

CURRENT BURN BAN IS SET TO EXPIRE SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2026.

>> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE AND COURT.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MORNING. THE BURN BAN DOES EXPIRE TOMORROW. OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE A LOT OF RAIN COMING ACCORDING TO THE FORECAST.

WE NEED TO DECIDE. MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO EXTEND THE BURN BAN. IF WE GET THE RAIN EXPECTED, REMIND THE COURT THAT WE CAN CANCEL THE BURN BAN AT ANY TIME IF YOU CAN EXTEND IT, WHATEVER IT MAY BE WE CAN CANCEL ON FRIDAY IF NEED BE. NORMALLY THE MOISTURE THAT COMES DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH COMES AT ONE TIME WE GET A LOT OF RUNOFF ABOUT THE FLOODING. AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T SOAK IN, A LOT OF IT RUNS OFF. WE HAVE OUR KDBI TODAY IS 674 AND POLICY IS 575 IN STATE LAW 575.

WE'RE STILL 100 POINTS ABOVE. OUR HIGH IN THE COUNTY IS 782.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THE AREAS OF THE COUNTY THAT DID NOT RECEIVE RAIN WITH OUR LAST RAIN ESPECIALLY ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY. I WAS ON FIRE LAST NIGHT, CONTROL BURN THAT SOMEBODY REQUESTED.

THEY STILL BURN EVEN THOUGH IT'S A BURN BAN.

SOME PEOPLE STILL DO IT. GOT ONE OUT OF CONTROL LAST NIGHT. WE STILL GOT PLENTY OF DRY CONDITIONS OUT THERE. IF WE GET THIS RAIN, I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE, THIS GRASS IS STILL GOING TO BE DEAD AND DRY FOR A LONG TIME. WE WILL HAVE THIS RAIN ON TWO DAYS LATER IT'S GOING TO BE DRY. THIS WEEK AS WE GET RAIN AND WE GET MOISTURE IT DOESN'T MEAN THE FIRE IS GOING TO STOP.

THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE. THERE'S GOING TO BE A TIME WHEN WE GET BELOW .500 AND 75 BELOW THE THRESHOLD AND STAY THERE.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THE BURN BAN BE LIFTED.

UNTIL THAT TIME I WOULD RECOMMEND WE REINSTATE THE BURN

BAN. >> AND EXTENDING THIS BURN BAN, AT ANY POINT ANY DAY THAT WE SEE THAT WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THIS EXTREME RISK, IT CAN BE LIFTED IMMEDIATELY?

>> CORRECT. IF WE GET THE RAIN AND FEEL COMFORTABLE, THE NUMBERS REFLECT BY FRIDAY IF IT GOES DOWN BELOW, WE CAN CANCEL IT ON FRIDAY IF NEED BE.

IF IT GOES DOWN BELOW. >> WITH TWO WEEKS BE A GOOD --

EXTENSION? >> I THINK SO.

>> WE CAN CANCEL IT WHENEVER WE NEED TO CANCEL IF WE NEED TO.

>> WITH THE CAVEAT IF IT DROPS BELOW .500 AND 75.

>> SO TEN OR 14? >> 14 MAKES IT MORE IMPORTANT ON

A COURT DATE. >> LET'S EXTEND IT 14 DAYS.

THAT WOULD BE TUESDAY OCTOBER 13TH IF WE EXTEND IT FOR

14 DAYS. >> DO YOU WANT TO GO

OCTOBER 15TH THAT WAY WE HAVE -- >> OCTOBER 15TH WOULD BE A THURSDAY. WE CAN RENEW ON THE 13TH THAT COURT OR WE CAN GO STRAIGHT TO TUESDAY.

>> I SAY GO STRAIGHT TO THAT COURT DATE.

AS SOON AS COURT IS OVER, IT WOULD BE ENACTED.

>> I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A MOTION TO EXTEND THE BURN BAN TO

OCTOBER 13TH. >> I WILL SECOND.

>> GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WRIGHT AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ARTHUR. ALL IN FAVOR.

[9.3 Discuss and take action to approve the Fiscal 2027 Salary Orders]

9.5, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH OPFIT HEALTH FOR NTRA FIRE AND SAFETY PERSONNEL.

I'M GONNA START THAT OVER. NTRA FIRE FOR SAFETY PERSONNEL, MEDICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS.

>> THANK YOU. THE LEGISLATURE IS WORKING ON FIREFIGHTER SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES THAT SOMETIMES RESULT FROM DANGERS IN THE WORKPLACE. AND LAST SESSION, THEY HAD LISTED OUT SOME THINGS IN THE LAW THAT WE NEED TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL HEALTH SCREENINGS FOR OUR PERSONNEL.

SO WE HAD A TEAM THAT LOOKED AT THIS.

THIS IS A COMPANY THAT HAS SET UP HERE IN TEXOMA LAND.

THE VALUE IS THAT THEY WILL GO TO AIRPORT FIRE AND DO THESE WHILE THEY ARE ON SHIFT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY KIND OF OVERTIME FOR THE PERSONNEL. AND DURING YOUR BUDGET SESSION THIS YEAR, AIRPORT FIRE'S PERSONNEL LINE ITEM HAS THE AMOUNT FOR THIS CONTRACT. SO WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE IT

NOW. >> THAT IS WE ARE FUNDING THAT.

>> YES, IT'S ALREADY IN THE FY27 BUDGET.

>> THIS IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE FOR US TO DO.

WE HAVE TO FUND THE REQUIRED. >> IT'S ONE OF THOSE CALLED UNFUNDED MANDATES. SINCE I WORK IN EMERGENCY SERVICES, I LIKE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS HEALTH WILL BE LOOKED AFTER. GLAD TO DO IT.

>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ARTHUR AND SECOND SECOND ALL IN FAVOR?

>> GOOD MORNING. THIS ROADWAY IS AN AGREEMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ATTACHED AND DIDN'T GET ATTACHED.

WE ARE BRINGING IT BACK TO BE APPROVED.

>> PLAT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE LAST TIME WE PASSED IT.

THE THOROUGHFARE RUNS THROUGH THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS THE EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE THOROUGHFARE RUNS THROUGH THIS PROPERTY IN CASE THE FUTURE NEED OF IT IS THERE.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

[10. Commissioners Court Comments]

[00:20:02]

ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER COURT COMMENTS.

WE WILL START. >> PLEASE BE WEATHER AWARE I'VE SEEN ANYWHERE FROM 2 INCHES TO 9.5 INCHES OVER THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE DAYS. JUST PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. DON'T DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAYS. JUST BE CAREFUL.

THANKFUL FOR THE RAIN. >> COMMISSIONER ARTHUR.

>> I'M MOST CERTAINLY THANKFUL THAT THE RAIN AND THE FORECAST TOMORROW. THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO POINT OUT WHAT SARAH AND HER TEAM CONTRIBUTE TO A GRAYSON COUNTY. I DON'T THINK ANYONE REALIZES AND TAKE IT AS SERIOUS AS ANY DEPARTMENT WE HAVE IN THIS COURTHOUSE. AND DIDN'T LIKE IT WHEN WE HAD -- THEY WERE PRETTY UPSET.

I WILL SAY THAT IN THIS LAST RAIN WE HAD I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE ESPECIALLY THE WEST SIDE OF THE COUNTY, IT WORKED AS ADVERTISED. THAT IS PRETTY QUICK TURNAROUND.

I APPRECIATE THAT. AND PLEASE BE SAFE.

I KNOW THE BURN BAN EXTENDING IS PROBABLY FRUSTRATING TO SOME INDIVIDUALS. YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER, THERE'S PARTS OF THIS COUNTY ALMOST RECEIVED NO RAINFALL.

THE LAST THING I GOT 4 INCHES. AND I GOT 6.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T GET ANY.

WE HAVE TO PROTECT IT COUNTY WIDE.

I APPRECIATE EVERYONE AND BE SAFE.

>> MR. WRIGHT. >> YES, I WILL BE ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED A SPRINKLE SO WATER SPOUTS IN THE DUST. I WILL TAKE WHATEVER WE CAN GET AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. HOPEFULLY IT COMES IN A SAFE MANNER. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS NEED TO GO OUT TO THE DILLE FAMILY THAT LOST THEIR FIRST GRADER IN AN ACCIDENT FROM WHITESBORO. THAT COMES RIGHT AFTER SANGER LOST A 13-YEAR-OLD AND A BUS ROLLER ACCIDENT THE WEEK BEFORE.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THOSE.

>> COMMISSIONER MARK. >> REMINDER, OCTOBER 17TH, A COUPLE OF SATURDAYS FROM NOW, PRECINCT ONE IS HOLDING THEIR FALL CLEANUP FROM 7:30 UNTIL 2:00.

ANY RESIDENTS WITHIN PRECINCT ONE IF YOU HAVE ANY LARGE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO GET RID OF, PERFECT TIME TO BRING IT UP TO FOUR TIRES, REFRIGERATORS, DVDS, NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

LAST WEEK, WE MADE A TRIP UP TO AMARILLO.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NATIONAL COUNTY RURAL ENERGY SYMPOSIUM UP THERE. HAD A BUNCH OF COUNTY LEADERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY GO TO AMARILLO.

THE MAIN TOPIC WAS DATA CENTERS IS A HOT TOPIC IN THE NEWS CURRENTLY. AND SO WE GOT TO DRIVE AROUND.

GOOGLE'S LARGEST FACILITY THEY ARE BUILDING ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS OUTSIDE OF CLAUDE. IT IS HUGE AND SIX FACILITIES FOR THOSE. OUR 200 GIG BUILDINGS AND TWO OR 100 GIG BUILDINGS. THE 200 GIG BUILDINGS, THIS LAB IS 20 ACRES. SO THERE IS 100 ACRES OF CONCRETE SLAB FOR FOUNDATION. CLAUDE IS WIDE OPEN.

NOTHING AROUND IT. 8 MILES OUT OF TOWN.

THERE IS ONE HOUSE BETWEEN TOWN AND THERE.

FOR THEM, IT WORKS REALLY GOOD. FOR OTHER PARTS OF TEXAS, IT PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK TOO WELL. WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT.

I THINK EDUCATION IS BETTER THAN SEEING ALL THE EXPERTS ON FACEBOOK TRYING TO LEARN IT. I FEEL LIKE GETTING HANDS ON, GETTING THE EDUCATION, KNOWING WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY DOING IS MORE BENEFICIAL THAN NOT DOING THAT.

SO THAT WAS IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I KNOW WE MOVED ON MONDAY. WE ARE GONNA BE OUT ON TUESDAY.

I WON'T BE HERE MONDAY BECAUSE I DO HAVE TO GO DOWN EARLY FOR THE RESOLUTIONS FOR OUR ANNUAL JUDGE COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION MEETING. THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.

GET TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF LAST WEEK.

I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COVERING FOR ME WHILE I WAS GONE.

BUT DO BE WEATHER AWARE LIKE MISS SUMMERS WAS REFERRING TO.

WE HAVE BEEN SO DRY. A LOT OF IT IS NOT GOING TO SINK IN. IT'S GOING TO RUN OFF.

WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION IN A LOT OF PLACES.

IT'S GOING TO HOLD THE WATER IN SOME AREAS WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE NEW AREAS WHERE THE WATER IS GOING TO FLOW DIFFERENTLY.

JUST SLOW DOWN ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

IF YOU SEE WATER IN THE ROADWAY, TURN AROUND AND DON'T DROWN IS THE SAYING. WITH THAT, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RAIN. JUST BE SAFE.

WITH THAT I HAVE NOTHING ELSE. EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT
