• 4:29
  Speaker 5: It has been a minute here, it has been a minute.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: So let's let's get so. I know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: One of the things we want to talk to is
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: because it is it is the season for people to
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: start looking at appraisals and property taxes and everything else
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: like that. We want to clarify a couple of things with.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Who is in charge of that and who is not
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: absolutely when when they get their their their wonderful letter
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: from the Brasis Appraisal District. It has nothing to do
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: with the counties police. Don't think that we're out there
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: setting rates on your house.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: How many calls do you get or text do you
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: get a year when when this pops up?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: People probably one hundred hundreds.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, got a light?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Why are you?
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Why are you raising? My text is we have nothing
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: to do with that. That's all state mandata. I just
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: want you to know.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: It's always it's always important to get out there. Yes,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: these are two completely different things. County business, there's alway,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: there's always a lot to talk about. I know that
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: one of the things that you you're working on right
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: now is hiring. I guess you've have hired architects for
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: a feasibility study for the JP and Constable's Office.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: You want to give us the rundown on that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that that facility is right on George
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Bush Drive. Yeah, and that's premiere property and we can't
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: expand any We do three times the work in that
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: court than all the other courts do.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: And that court has been there, That court has been
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: there for how long is that?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I remember when I was a kid, I was driving
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: by that of the way to church.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I want to say I was when I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: was a kid at the junior high there. That was yeah, right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: probably thirty years, yeah at least.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: But anyway, we do so much business out of that
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: court because they handle all the cases for all.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: The students at A and M.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: But we're just out of room and we can't, so
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: we're looking at different locations. We can't move back because
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: it's in the it's in the floodplain, ah and because
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: of some of the setback restrictions from the city, it's
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: hard to move anyway. So we're just looking at what
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: the potential is if we could sell it, where we
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: could move and hopefully we'll have an answer on that
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: pretty soon.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You are correct, that is a prime piece.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't think you'd have a lot of problems selling
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: that thing.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that's a that's a facility that has been
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: around for a long, long long time. I know everyone's
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: excited about the medical examiners. Our people are very interested
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: in it, for sure. Are you getting closer To refresh
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: my memory, I think we have. We have a ribbon
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: cutting cutting up at some point for this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, August eighteenth, Commerce ribbon cutting, and then on the
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: nineteenth there's public tours if anybody would like to come
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: and walk through the facility.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: If you haven't been following along with this, maybe just
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: catch everyone up on the basics of what this is
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and how it benefits us.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: In the past, anytime that we had to have an
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: autopsy done, we'd have to either send it to Austin
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: or send it to Houston and that's very expensive. So
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: you know, when the opportunity came up for us to
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: have this in Brass County, it looked like a real
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: opportunity because not only would we have the business from
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: our local community community, but also from all the surrounding counties.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And it's not just the expense with that, it's the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: time that it would take to send those to these
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: very busy medical examiner's offices in Houston.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: This is something I don't think a lot of people.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, you wouldn't think about this unless you had
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: been through a situation where where that came up. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: if you're in a situation where obviously passed away and
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: you do have to send you know, to a to
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: a medical examiner off site, we I mean you're talking
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: months months, months without being able to really proceed with
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: a lot of the other issues around losing a loved one,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: family member or whatever it may be. Having it in
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: town is a I mean, it's a huge.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It's it's been a need for.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: A long long time and I and I'm certain that, uh,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know, your point, Commission is that the you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to get business from others surrounding counties
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that are that are still operating under the the old
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: principles of having to send these these cases off.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Plus you know, we haven't even to discussed the cost
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: of sending a body to Austen or to Houston, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: that's thousands of dollars.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's there's there's a it's gonna be
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: an amazing asset. I'm actually very much looking forward to
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: seeing it when we when we get to get to
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: go through it, because I think it's gonna be it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: gonna be a huge thing. I don't think people realize
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: how big a deal that is yet, but it's it is.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Out of the many things that you know, people can
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: point at in the county budgets that may or may
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: not be something they support.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I think this is one that gets great general support.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, and there could be a great A and M
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: could be involved too in their medical.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: True, yeah, because you do have it. You do have
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: a medical school here.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Now you have you you didn't have that back in
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: the day, and now that's a that's that's a huge
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: need for their programming as well. Do we want to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: get an update on the George Bush Drive Welburne Road interchange.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Is there an update on that? I know that's that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: that's one of the major projects.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: It's been put off till twenty seven. Okay, you know
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: what hasn't been put off till twenty seven.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: So you know what I put off, I put off
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: all twenty six to twenty seven, pretty much in January.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: It's like this, we'll see how it shakes out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: If you're familiar out on eleven to seventy nine, you're
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: ever supposed to start this year on making that a.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Five lane road.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, now they put and they went in and and
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: tore down some houses, and now they're putting it off
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: till twenty seven or twenty eight. Like really, this is
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: you know, this is the way it works.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: You're gonna you're gonna need something to do in those years.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Why not? What else do we want to get today?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Anything else?
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about we're gonna we're gonna sell some property.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Let's talk about selling some property.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Then the county has buildings, and they have vacant lots
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: that they've owned for a long time that we're not using.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: So we're looking at putting those back, putting those on
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: the market. Putting them back on the tax rolls and
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: getting them off the inventory of the county.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Any anything exciting? Any big I mean, well instead of
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: getting I guess we should talk big picture when it
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: comes to this. What is the estimated windfall when you
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: start looking at Okay, we could move all of these
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: How much money are we talking about to the county
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: if you were able to unload them all?
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, it could be millions of dollars, millions of dollars
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: real easy.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago we bought the old deep
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Or we went into contract about the old DPS office
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: on Okay.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: And what was the idea there to was?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It was it elections, to move all the elections.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: That's what I thought.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: I saw, that's okay, and it's a it's a perfect building.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: It has a huge parking lot, the buildings in great repair, so.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: We don't have to do anything.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: But when that came up, the first thing we said
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: was we need to sell Arena Hall.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well that'll.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Be the first building that we'll put up for sale,
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: all right, and then there's some other ones, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Ashford Hills, the old Egg Extension building, they're getting us
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: a full inventory of things that we haven't been using
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: that we need to put on them on.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Those are the potential it is pretty exciting properties.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: For And again it's not just the revenue that you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: going to receive from the potential sale, it's also the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: future tax revenue of getting those back.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: On the taxes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because we're not paying any taxes to ourselves on
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: it right now.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So how do I get on all that deal?

  Speaker 4: I always considered the State Fair of Texas to kind
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: of not be a thing to the extent like I
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: considered the State Fair text to be the Houston, like
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the biggest, you know, the state Fair. I know it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: not the State Fair but Houston Rodeo.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big deal. It's a huge entity.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Uh Am, I wrong? There is that?
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know, obviously going more north at you know, yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: the state I don't know one bigger deal.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I've never been to either.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: You've never been to the Rodeo.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I've never been to the rodeo, have never been to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the State Fair.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: That seems hard to accomplish.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: No, it's not that hard to accomplish. You just an
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: old curmudgeon who doesn't like crowds. It's real easy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Houston Rodeo is actually was pretty enjoyable. I always have
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: gone in the later weeks whenever, like the bigger like
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I saw Zach Top's last one I saw. I loved him.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: That was a great show him too. I was there.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I loved that. And also I don't really go
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: to the amusement park and all that. I'd rather just
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: get there, see the rodeo, do all that, and then
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: So for you, it's it's the concert maybe whatever else,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: get in, get out and move on with your life.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: For other people, and State Fair is obviously a lot
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: more about the moving around and you know, kind of
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: meandering throughout the day. We are considered to be one
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: of the top state fairs in the world. Obviously Rodeo
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Houston is one of the top. I mean, I argue
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: it could it probably is the top rodeo in the world.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Would get this point, I don't see how you eat it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: But there's one state fair that gives Texas a run
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: every single year.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Any idea which one that is? No idea, no nothing?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: San Antonio, Minnesota.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Minnesouela, Minnesota. Isn't that where they do the butter carving championships.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That's kind of a big deal.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Minnesota State Fair in Minneapolis every single year
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: is considered that's the one that we run neck and
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: neck with.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Usually it's because of the food.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they can eat up there.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: They can eat and they can cook. What's your favorites?
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: What's your favorites fair slash fair food.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'm an old school guy. I like just a standard
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: corn dog. I don't necessarily like to go for the.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Maybe a funnel cake something.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even really like the funnel cakes. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: always always let me down.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I always check these out every single year they come
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: out in Minnesota because I think to myself, or is
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: this going to be the year we get punked out
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: by the state of Minnesota on the food roll.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to give you a few of them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: This is the year's fair menu for Minnesota, and you
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: tell me if any of these sound like winners. The
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: pickle pie is a pie cross filled with a blend
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: of chopped pickles, pickle juice, and cream cheese, topped with
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the homemade savory whipped frosting made with ranch and chilula,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: garnished with a pickle and a spring a sprinkle of dill.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I'm a pickle guy, and that sounds a lot sus.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I mean, I like pickles in your standard fair.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll eat some pickles and sausage. I'll have
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it on the burgers.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Uh. But when you start doing too much with the pickle,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you lose me.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: I just my downfall I guess in life is I
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: don't like pickles. So every time I see something that
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: they for some reason pickles. Over the last couple of years,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: it's everything's.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Got to be pickle.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: There's pickle, this pickle that me pickles, shoes I mean,
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: and shirts I mean the Merchpoart's insane too, But I
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: just don't like pickles.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You get too inundated with the pickle. I think, yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you reach a pickle saturation level.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: There is there's a point where you can take it
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: too far. Like Icarus on wings of wax, when pigs fly,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: the flight of pork sausage is all wrapped in puff
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: pastry served on a stick.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I'm in, I'm in.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Really that's a threat.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Boy, Cheriso with Jimmy Churry, Oh Texas two step sausage
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: with a sweet pepper coal slaw, an october Fest sausage
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: with melted cheddar and chili crunch, and a pork eta
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Italian sausage. They're bringing back the pickle on that one though.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: They'll give you a pickle aol.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a side beast. That is man that Oh.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: They really kind of got better food than us, don't.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Say that's that's That's what I'm concerned with. That's why
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I'm bringing this up. We have only a few months
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: to get ahead of this nonsense.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you know all these all these food vendors for
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: state fairs.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: They're carnies, they travel, they travel.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we'll get some of the same foods,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: but I think think for each particular fair that somebody
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: will come in and make something specific for that particular location.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Apple doughnut, ham grinder. This is apple sliced into rings, battered,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: deep fried, tossed and cinnamon sugar.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: And then they stack the.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Apples with slices of uncured ham and dressed arugola, dreddl
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: with hot honey and served to you with an herb
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: whipped ricotta spread on us skip the.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Ham an apple.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: And finally the surf and turf burger one third pound
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: season grilled beef patty, topped pepper jack cheese, drizzled with
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: homemade chipotle mao, served on a toasted brioche bun, and
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: topped with a whole lobster.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I don't what is the cost on.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: That may kind of soggy to don't you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Surely they're going to give you just the.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Meat, don't they. I mean, you try to make fair
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: food portable. That's the whole thing about.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: It's gotta be walkable food.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: It's gotta be a bowl or stick walking around and
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: they're cracking claws and no they it used to they
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: did a deep fried lobster tail it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: At some it was it was something you were also
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: going to pay for that deep fried lobs.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Do they give you? Do they give you an angioplasty?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: On the size?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Dude? If you're going to a state fair.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Do they have a cardiac booth?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Handy every different There was not a point where I
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: was at rodeo this past year where I didn't see
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: two dudes on a golf cart.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Ready.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, they should just have a tent full of
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: defibrillators there so you could just walk in and get
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: your heart shocked and walk back.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: You know, they're the MVP.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Two people are dead after shooting yesterday in Caldwell. The
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Burlison County Sheriff's Office announced they received a call around
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: noon on Wednesday reporting a woman had been shot in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the cad Lake subdivision. Family members say the shooter fled
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and a black Lincoln Navigator. While en route to the scene,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: deputies spotted a vehicle matching that description. Officers gave the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: driver verbal commands, but there was no response. When they
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: approached the navigator, they found the driver with a self
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: inflicted gunshot to the head. The subject was transported to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the hospital and pronounced dead. The victim was shot twice
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and died at the hospital. Texas Governor Greg Abbot's approval
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is needed for the Grimes County terrifab project to proceed.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yesterday came and went with no announcement from Governor Abbot
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: or Elon Musk. That does not necessarily mean the deal
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is dead. Governor Abbott has seven days to notify all
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: parties of his decision, so now we wait for up
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to a week to see if the project proceeds. Governor
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Abbot says the Texas Rangers will be looking into last
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: week's fatal shooting of a Houston man by Immigrations and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement off officers.
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: The Texas Rangers are now going to be involved in
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: an investigation of this matter, working alongside federal officials to
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Lorenzo Salcato Arahu was shot by ICE agents on July seventh,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: after they say he was using his vehicle as a weapon.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Brian police are warning of an increase in Facebook marketplace scams.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: These scams involve both buyers and sellers. To protect yourself,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: BPD recommends that you never send money before meeting in person.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: You always meet in a busy public place with security cameras,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and you utilize the Brian Police Department Safe exchange zone. Remember,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: if something doesn't feel right, walk away. When most people
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: think of spending a million dollars on a car, they
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: don't usually think of a Chevy Tahoe. The Texas Department
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of Public Safety does. Here's Tristan Ryan's.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: It look like any other police Chevy Tahoe rolling down
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Texas highways. But what's inside is what makes all the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: difference to the Texas Department of Public Safety. According to
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: procurement documents reported by The Drive, DPS spent nearly four
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and a half million dollars across four vans equipped with
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: three point nine million dollars of Israeli made surveillance tech.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: The systems can intercept cell tower connections to gather information
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: from mobile phones while targets have no idea they've even
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: been scammed. These units Sloto Texas tps's growing surveillance toolkit
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: under Operation Loan Star that already includes Clearview AI facial recognition,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: PenLink's tangles for communication analysis, statewide license plate readers, and more.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Justin Ryan's TSN News.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Two teenagers have been arrested after trying to steal Lego
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: sets and bean bags. CSPD was called to the Walmart
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: on Brothers Boulevard just after ten o'clock Tuesday night. According
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to arrest records, eighteen year old Justin Henderson Junior and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen year old William Feldhons were captured on videos scanning
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a bottle of soda but instead placing pricey Lego sets
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in the bagging area. They made it to the second
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: set of torstpeed for the loss prevention team escorted them
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: back into the store. The teams were attempting to steal
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: two Big Joe beanbags valued at forty five dollars each
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and two Lego sets valued at over three hundred dollars.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: While being arrested, both teams were found to have vight

  Speaker 1: pins in their pocket, so in addition to theft or
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: property greater than one hundred but less than seven hundred

  Speaker 1: tobacco products by someone under the age of twenty one.

• 23:23
  Speaker 4: City Brian. Bobby Gutierra is in yesterday. Today we've got
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Brian City Council Member, single member District five.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Marca. You were shirt lift. Another person I haven't seen
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: since ibing back.
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: We're so glad you're back. Thank you so much for
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: having me this morning.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad to be back.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: So let's talk council stuff. I know we had a
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: meeting and I know we talked a little bit.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: About this with Bobby yesterday, yes.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to get into a little bit of
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: the issues around BTU metering and specifically how that affects
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: the solar crowd out there. Can you walk everyone through
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the basics on this, sure?
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: So for solar net billing charges, solar customers producing excess
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: energy were transitioned from a full net metering to a
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: lower buy back rate recently, and there was obviously some
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: concern from those folks who had had those solar panels
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: panels regarding the new rate. You know, BTU certainly made
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: a good argument. They're board of directors unanimously approved the change. So,
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: to put it pretty simply, their energy rates did not
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: calculate in when the original agreements were made all of
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: the additional costs that goes into transporting the energy back
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: and forth, all the logistics, all the infrastructure, and so
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: they made that adjusted rate in order to compensate for that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Were so how many customers total? Was this affecting.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: About eight hundred they said, one percent of BTU customers.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And they came in under a specific deal that they
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: had with BTU, and now at this point in time
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that deal is changing. I know that public perception about
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: this is fairly negative. Why wasn't grandfathering these customers in considered?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Is the overall cost just too much?
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: You know, it was considered. I made a motion at
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: the meeting in order to grandfather the individuals in for
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: the rest of their lifetime, so long as they lived
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: at that property. Unfortunately, that motion did not carry or
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: fortunately it's not necessarily a bad thing. So it was
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: considered and it was discussed. However, BTU and the rest
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: of council but that it was inappropriate to essentially take
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: the cost from the solar customers and distribute it to
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: all the rest of the customers. So it was going
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: to cost the rest of the customers in the city
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: of Brian that used BTU pardon me, about forty one
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: extra sence a month to sort of comp.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: And to sort of overcome That's what we've been to
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: ask you how much, which I guess you spread it
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: out long like is the cost that dramatic to where
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: it was really weighing everything down.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: You know, I didn't think so. I know every penny matters,
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: and we're all under financial pressure. All of our costs
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: are going up. So forty one since a month doesn't
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: sound dramatic, but that's about what all the other customers
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: at BTU were going to pay in order to make
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: up for the difference in the rates for the solar folks.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Man, interesting stuff, it is, it is, And again it's you.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I know that you made that motion to grandfather them in,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: which is a public service win. Now you may have
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: some negative pushback on this, there's discussion in many places
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: about it. But from what you're saying, the good we
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: all understand that the good of the many outweighs the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: good of the few.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Sure, and you know, my decision to make that motion
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: was based on policy, and BTU and the rest of
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: the council carried a motion based on economics, and that happens.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the way it goes. What else do we have
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: going on? What else do you want to get to this?
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: Well, goodness, we are gearing up for budget seasons, so.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: At the city of budget seasons, so much.
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: Fun pouring over spreadsheets and numbers. The City of Brian.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: I'm happy to report we're continuing to improve and some
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: of our key metrics that really matter to a council
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: and from an economic standpoint, our advalorem tax base continues
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: to rise importantly to me sales taxes rising every year.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: We're collecting more and budgeting for more, and that means
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: people are coming into the City of Brian. They're dining,
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: they're eating out, they're participating in events, and they're buying
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: things from our local vendors. So we love to see that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the growth and Brian's been been a fun thing
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: to experience. Some of the kind of again still here intermittently.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: When you go for five years, you come back and
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of those projects that were starting five years
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: ago or finished, and you kind of see how that's
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: drawing people further and further into the city on a
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: regular basis. You see how many more new business and
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: new restaurants things like that that didn't usually be the
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: first thing you think of when it's like we're going
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: to put a really nice, like a really nice, authentic
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Mexican place in town, you wouldn't necessarily put maybe more
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: in college station. But it's really it's really turning into
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: stuff in.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: A Mexican food. We have a fantastic new place downtown
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: Brian and Downtown Brian.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to plug them.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: I should probably plug them.
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's blown Away Cafe Venarka. If that's free of
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: tacos I've ever had, still want. John is just thriving.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: If you come to one of our first Fridays, you'll
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: see that. Continuing to draw more people to the community.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: The last statistic I heard was six hundred people a
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: day are moving to Texas and being situated here in
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: the Texas Triangle. We're going to get a lot of
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: those folks just based on logistics, and so we're excited
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: that we're continuing to grow, continuing to get new families,
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: new businesses, and all things of that nature.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I know we're looking budgeting a lot of infrastructure to
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: try to get ahead of some of this stuff. Yes,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: how big of a cost do we think that's going.
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: To be, TBD, So we're looking through all of that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: We will go through all of the budget. A lot
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: of the big spins there will be in our capital
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: improvement projects. But we do want to and I do
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: commend the city staff. They're fantastic, especially doctor Barfnick. He
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: heads up a lot of these different projects for us
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: and having the foresight so we don't become in Austin
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: where we already have the growth, we're completely gridlocked and
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: now we want to start construction. Although it might seem longsided,
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: what we want to do is lay down that infrastructure
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: to accommodate our growing population.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: M hmm, perfect.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you got to stay ahead of it because nobody
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: wants to be Austin a great and on time. Just
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to go back just a brief moment, Tucker and I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: talk about this all the time, and we'll continue to
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: talk about it, and I know it's prior to you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: coming on board with the council, But the job the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: City of Brian did with Downtown Brian from the time
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of my youth to now is night and day, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: it's an example to be set everywhere.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it really is. It's such a fun thing to
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: invest in. You know, we talked a lot on Wednesday's
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: meeting about sewer lines and wastewater and those things are
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: absolutely critical to the city. But it sure is fun
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: to get to work on projects like downtown Brian because
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: when you see them come to Fruition and see people
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: enjoying them, it's really really rewarding. We're excited to continue
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: to invest down there.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: It really is.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: In some of those projects like that, obviously the parks
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: and everything else. Like it's been, it's a night and
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: day especially if you rewind it fifteen twenty years. It
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: is a night and day transformation in terms of what
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: the city has and what it's offering. And it's just
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: very very.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Cool to see anything else we need to get to today, No.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: Just lots of things going on for those interested. Keep
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: your eye on the budget. That is just such a
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: heavy lift, but we do it every year. From a
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: policy standpoint, we'll be looking towards the future, focusing on
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: infrastructure again, the things that aren't glamorous like our sewer
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: and wastewater and things that are like continuing to grow
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: our economic development and things like that. As always, we've
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: got First Friday in Downtown Brian coming up next month.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: Everybody come out and then we also have a maroon
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: and white night and Downtown Brien. That's right, it's a
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: lot of fun. We invite everybody to come out. Stay
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: tuned as the budget continues to progress, but things are
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: moving along nicely at the.

  Speaker 7: I have a question really quick before we dive into this.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: What is the Aggie Dome? What does that mean?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Well, you can actually google the Aggie Dome if you like.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit of BCS lore.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It's a meteorological phenomenon.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: There's a Yeah, they swear it's not real.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta be real. I've seen it happen.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: You will see storm systems move into our area and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: split around the BCS metric.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: I can't explain it how. I can't explain how it happens.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I'm sure that I'm certain there's something out there.
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: But it anecdotally coming right at you, and then it
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: will break and it will be raining everywhere else in
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: the area, with the exception of Brian College Station problem.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's anecdotally, but and I look at a lot
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of weather. I have not seen any place else that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: this happens with the frequency that it does here. And
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I've asked local meteorologists about it. You know, they're going
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to course go to the science whatever whatever that means.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But I think, you know, there's something going on. There's
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: there's some old there's some old Indian spirit that is uh,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: There's a brew haw somewhere that's out there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah that that that that that was looking over our shoulder.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: But it happens, and it's I.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Mean or cursing us.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, sure it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Happens, and it's Yesterday was a prime example. We had
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: a big, you know, large area of showers and thundershowers
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that were moving south to north right and it just
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: wrapped right around us on both sides.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: True, completely surrounded.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: I can't can't figure it out, but uh, but here
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: we are.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: I was just curious because we we said it twice
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: in the last two days, and every time we say it,
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: I'm like, what are they talking about? Am I missing something?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that you've been here, even though it,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you know, in the grand scheme of things, a pretty
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: short period of time and you have not really you know, experience.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I think the youth know about the AGGI Doome. I
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: think that's more of it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: That's an old man.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Porch thing, you know.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: But Albert old Agadome, we know, we know, you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: like I said, you'd be here long enough, you'll you'll
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: see a few things. And one of these things is
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: every storm you want to hit your house, all of
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: a sudden just dissipates.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And no one knows why.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I speculated has something to do with the Brass River Valley,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: especially with those storms that are moving west to east
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: or coming sort of from the northwestern you know, which
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is frequent here.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just some the way the air moves, or there's
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: some reason for it. I don't know what it is,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: but I can't tell. I refuse to believe that doesn't exist.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've seen it too often, seen it too often.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: All right, guys, I timed the show very poorly today
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: because I I've been waiting this entire morning for the
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: text from to Covi is about the invasive python boots
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: that I've been wanting to.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: For those who don't know, Tucker Friedo Young has a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: little bit of a shoe.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Out boot problem. I got a huge boot problem, had
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: it for a long long time. I missed out on
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Rattlesnake season.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: I was going to get some. Honestly, I didn't miss out.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to pay what Lukesey wanted me to
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: pay for some rattlesnake boots. But now Coves has harvested
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: a ton of invasive python. Because it's it's invasive, it's.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: A great thing.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like finding a use for a wild
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: pig exactly.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: And so they're selling the Garrett now with mangrove invasive
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: python for six hundred and seventy five dollars. And I've
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: already waited five minutes. So if I hit secure checkout,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not even sure if these boots are gonna be there.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Should I pull the trigger?
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: Ye?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: No, I think so.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I mean these are toakvas, and that price range for
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Takova's is not unimaginable.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: It's the thing.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: I was expecting it to be in the thousands, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: I was gonna be like, Okay, well it ain't happening.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: And you know I did six seventy five.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't do it, but I don't know.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have the same sort of attachment. I want
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: my boots to look decent, but I'm a I'm a
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: traditional leather kind of guy. You don't like the you
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: don't like the lizards or no, no, no, no, maybe
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a pair of sea turtle.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Get out of there.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Now walk out. Stop.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: You know they do have steam ray.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: They do have steam ray.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want any of that stuff.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: You just want to You're just I don't even know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I even had some buffalo man. I even had some
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: buffalo calf hide boots at one point time. That was
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I like that, But I don't like the
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I had some Ostrich. I don't like the ostrich Riley's saying.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Riley is adamant to see that. She gets me.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: I would order him.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: If that's it's something I want, it's that probably I'm
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: going for it. Sent her a thousand, go for it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, y'all, y'all don't y'all don't have the
• 36:30

  Speaker 4: hundred dollars, I'm wearing them.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with that equation. That math
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: checks out, just fine. We're going to see if this works.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: You're gonna live on the air. Yo.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Does does Tucker have what it takes to get his
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: to capture his invasive species?
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I don't see. This is the thing.
• 36:59
