Oct 13, 2020 BAYTOWN CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT

AND THEN AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH YOU, THEN WE'LL HANDLE FIRE CONTROL.

SO IT WAS MORE OF A LOGISTIC THING THAT CAME UP AFTER WE POSTED THE AGENDA.

SO THEY'RE JUST GONNA GO BACK TO BACK IN BAYTOWN CONFERENCE.

THEY'RE COUNCIL ON HERE, THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK TO BACK SO THAT WE CAN, UM, SEPARATE OUR RESOURCES.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THIS ELECTION, UM, HARRIS COUNTY IS NOT GOING TO GET US THE RESULTS UNTIL FOUR 30 ON THE LAST DATE OF CANVAS.

JESUS.

SO WHEN WE RECEIVE THE CANVASSING INFORMATION FROM HARRIS COUNTY, WE THEN HAVE TO COMPILE IT WITH CHAMBERS COUNTY BECAUSE WE LIE IN TWO COUNTIES.

AND SO WE WANNA INPUT INFORMATION AND THEN VERIFY IT.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE TO SET EVERYTHING UP.

SO BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THREE ENTITIES, WE GAVE OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR 7:00 PM OKAY.

AND WHAT TIME WILL BE IT'LL BE AT FIRE CONTROL BE, IT'LL BE AT SEVEN 15.

SO YES.

MY HOPE IS THAT, SO WE'RE, WE HAVE 15 MINUTES, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME? I BELIEVE THAT BASED ON THE CANVAS THAT WE USED IN 2015 MM-HMM .

WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH IT QUICKLY.

UM, AND UH, AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES.

IF UM, IT GOES LONGER THEN, YOU KNOW, FIRE CONTROL CAN ALWAYS START LATER.

IT CAN'T START EARLIER.

SO WE'LL BE FINE.

ALRIGHT.

I JUST WANNA RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

YES, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT.

SO ALL IN FAVOR OF THE I I NEED A FIRST AND A SECOND.

OH.

SO MOVE , MOVE.

SORRY, I'M JUST RE NUTS AGAIN.

I'M IN FAVOR OF IT, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHAT DOES THAT, WHAT DOES CANVASSING ENTAIL? SO, CANVASSING IS, UM, UNDER THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE, IT SAYS THAT THE GOVERNING BODY IN THIS CASE, CCPD, UH, REVIEWS THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION BY PRECINCTS FOR AND AGAINST.

AND SO THE CANVAS ITSELF, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU GUYS COME IN, WE WILL HAND YOU THE RESULTS.

WHAT WE'VE DONE IS IN THE PAST IS THAT THE PRESIDENT READS THE CANVASSING SCRIPT AND GOES, UH, LINE BY LINE, UH, IN EACH OF THE PRECINCTS IN THIS, IN THE CCPD JURISDICTION AND SAYS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, PRECINCT FIVE HAD THIS MANY FOR THIS MANY AGAINST PRECINCT 15 HAD THIS MANY FOR THIS MANY AGAINST.

SO CANVASSING IS REALLY GOING THROUGH THE RESULTS BY PRECINCT FOR AND AGAINST FOR YOUR PROPOSITION.

AND, AND IT'S, BUT IT'S THE TOTAL THAT, THAT, THAT MATTERS, I GUESS.

ABSOLUTELY.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

HOWEVER, THE ELECTION CODE REQUIRES US TO CANVAS BY PRECINCT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

AND DOES IT HAVE TO, IS IT LIKE A NORMAL ELECTION WHERE IT HAS TO WIN BY A CERTAIN MARGIN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OR ONE VOTE OVER THE PROPOSITION? YES.

THE PROPOSITION IS OVER 50%.

SO, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

SO WE HAD A MOTION.

YOU HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND? FOUR IN A SECOND.

SO ALL IN

[00:05:01]

FAVOR? AYE.

IN YOUR POST? AYE.

[b. Receive the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District’s Quarterly Financial and Investment Reports for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2020.]

THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.

I'M, UH, VERY GRATEFUL TO MY FRIEND, THE CHIEF FOR GOING FIRST.

HE'S ACTUALLY A DISTANT COUSIN OF MY, UH, FRIEND FROM SCHOOL, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE HIS LAST NAME YET.

IT'S ACTUALLY DOHERTY .

SO THANK YOU .

THERE.

YOU'RE SO, UM, MADAM PRESIDENT

[00:10:01]

TO YOUR QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT.

AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

WE HAVE NOT YET CLOSED THE BOOK, SO THERE WILL BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, UH, TO BE MADE.

BUT THIS GIVES US A FAIR INDICATION OF WHERE WE'VE LANDED.

AND I AM, UH, REMINDED OF THE WORDS OF CHARLES DIXON.

UH, CHARLES DICKENS.

IT'S THE BEST OF TIMES, IT'S THE WORST OF TIMES BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, YOUR SALES TAX IS INCREDIBLY HEALTHY.

YOU'RE NOT ONLY OVER BUDGET, YOU'RE NEARLY 4% UP ON LAST YEAR'S SALES TAX TAKE.

AND WE JUST HAD A DISCUSSION BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT.

UH, CERTAINLY PLACES LIKE HEB, WALMART, KROGER, UH, LOWE'S AND WHAT HAVE YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL.

SO THAT TRANSLATES INTO REAL CASH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LEDGER.

WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN FRUGAL BECAUSE OF THE THREATS POSED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

YOUR EXPENDITURES ARE DOWN.

SO FOR YOU MADAM PRESIDENT, YOUR FUND BALANCES WILL BE VERY HEALTHY AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

WHEN WE DO FINALLY CLOSE THE BOOKS ON THE, UH, INVESTMENT SIDE, YOU HAVE MADE THE PRINCELY SUM OF $66 AND 58 CENTS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

BUT THAT'S ABOUT AS GOOD AS WE CAN EXPECT WITH I SAY IT.

THE MAR.

SO THAT'S AS MUCH AS I WANT TO TELL YOU AT THIS STAGE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO SELL AND LOOKING FORWARD, GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY, VICTOR, I SUPPOSE WE'RE STILL GONNA BE FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE UNTIL WE SEE WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE.

THERE'S NO REASON TO DEPART FROM HOW WE ENDED LAST YEAR.

NO.

WE HAVE REMAINED, UH, INCREDIBLY CONSERVATIVE IN OUR PROJECTIONS FOR SALES TAX.

WE DID, UH, DIAL BACK A LITTLE BIT, UM, FROM WHERE WE HAD STARTED WITH THE VIEW THAT WE WOULD BE 50% DOWN.

UH, WE'RE NOT THERE.

UH, BUT SALES TAX GOING FORWARD, WE'VE REMAINED VERY PRUDENT.

UH, WE WILL SEE WHERE WE GET AND AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER AND FOR THE CITY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID, UH, WAS WE HAVE, UH, PUT BACK EXPENDITURE AND CAPITAL EQUIPMENT UNTIL JANUARY JUST TO GIVE US THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR TO SEE, UH, HOW WE'RE DOING AT THIS STAGE.

FINGERS CROSSED, WITH A FAIR WIND, WE WILL BE OKAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE YET TO SEE, I THINK THE FULL EFFECTS OF, UH, OF THE PANDEMIC.

IF THERE'S NO FURTHER FISCAL STIMULUS, UH, IN THE CURRENT, UH, IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE, THAT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT.

UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, COME THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, WE'LL SEE WHERE WE ARE.

BUT AT THIS STAGE WE'RE LOOKING GOOD.

THANK YOU.

UM, I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION.

YEP.

UM, AND IT'S NOTHING PRUDENT, BUT I, I REMIND ME OF WHAT MAINTENANCE IS, OF WHAT, WHAT MAINTENANCE IS, WHAT MAINTENANCE IS.

IT'S WHEN YOU LOOK AFTER STUFF, SORRY, I COULDN'T RESIST IT.

WHAT IS FOR, UM, I'D HAVE TO DEFER TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A LOT MORE THAN ME AS I LOOK AROUND THE ROOM CHIEF MONEY.

DO WE, DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY WITH THE BUDGET IN THE BACK? DO WE KNOW WHAT WE MAINTAINED? LET ME SEE WHAT, YEAH, I DON'T HAVE MY PAPERWORK, SO LEMME SEE IF NOW HOLD ON A MINUTE.

I MIGHT KNOW A LITTLE BIT.

I KNOW WHAT WE BOUGHT.

YEAH, IT'S UP, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.

UM, I PRETTY MUCH KNOW THE REST OF THEM.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD PROBABLY FIND OUT FOR YOU AND LET YOU KNOW.

UH, I PROBABLY HAVE, I MEAN, I HAVE THE BUDGET AT WORK, SO I'LL LOOK AT IT.

YEAH, WE WERE SLIGHTLY, SLIGHTLY OVER.

BUT THAT WAS OFFSET BY BY SOME OF THE OTHER I SEE THAT, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

I COULDN'T REMEMBER AND I STILL DON'T MAINTAINING OF EQUIPMENT OF SORT.

YES.

SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT IS OLDER AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF AGREEMENTS AS WELL.

WHAT WAS THE MONEY? A LITTLE AGREEMENTS WE HAD TO PAY AS WELL FOR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND THINGS.

RIGHT.

YEAH, THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

YEAH, I MEAN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID, UM, CONSCIOUSLY NOT SPEND SO MUCH ON WAS ON, UH, APPAREL.

AS YOU SEE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE DOWN ABOUT 74,000 ON THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT.

I WOULD EXPECT THAT WE WILL HAVE TO EXPAND IN THE CURRENT, THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR ON THAT.

BUT THAT WAS REALLY, UH, AS A FUNCTION OF TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AND SPEND BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTATION THAT WE WOULD, UH, NOT HAVE AS MUCH SALES TAX, UH, UNDERSTAND EXPENSES ARE UP EVERYWHERE.

IT'S COSTING MORE TO DO BUSINESS AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

LIKE FOR THE BODY CAMERAS.

I GOT, YEAH, I GOT IT.

I MEAN, I, I DID THE SAME THING WITH MINE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, UH, I PUT 'EM ALL UNDER MAINTENANCE AS WELL, SO I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK.

THAT'S WHAT, WHAT IT WAS.

ALL RIGHT.

EVERYONE QUESTIONS? IS EVERYONE ON THE BOARD OKAY WITH THAT? IS THERE ANYTHING MORE THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO SEND OUT AFTER THE MEETING FOR Y'ALL? OKAY.

JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS GOOD.

I JUST NOTICED IT WAS UP AND I FIGURED THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, BUT I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK.

UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

[00:15:01]

[a. The next Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 7:00 P.M., in the Hullum Conference Room located at City Hall, 2401 Market Street, Baytown, Texas 77520. ]

SIR.

I WILL LET MR. TROLLER DO THAT FOR US AS WE DID IN ITEM TWO A.

WE SET THE NEXT MEETING TO BE THE SPECIAL MEETING ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 7:00 PM AND AS THE CITY CLERK MENTIONED, THAT WILL BE IN THE BAYTOWN CONFERENCE ROOM FOR CANVASSING.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

ELECTIONS HAVE STARTED, WE EDUCATED, YOU ADVOCATED, AND WE HOPE FOR THE VERY, VERY BEST.

FOR THOSE THAT ARE VOTING, I HAVE ADVOCATED A LOT AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE REST OF MY BOARD MEMBERS TO ADVOCATE AS WELL.

IF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A, WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE OR SHARE ANY OF THE POST I DO ON A REGULAR BASIS.

WE ALSO STILL HAVE A LOT OF THOSE FLYERS.

IF ANYBODY WANTS THEM.

IF Y'ALL NEED FLYERS TO HAND OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS OR ANYTHING, WE HAVE THEM IN MY OFFICE.

IT, THEY'RE, IT'S BETTER FOR YOU GUYS.

TAKE SOME HAND 'EM OUT THAN FOR ME TO JUST KEEP PORTING THEM IN MY THAT'S FINE.

I'LL TAKE SOME AND HAND THEM OUT TO MY NEIGHBORS.

'CAUSE I KNOW THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I DO OR SAY AND WHO'S GONNA GRAB THEM.

SO, UM, IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER? HEY, RICKY? YEAH.

RICKY.

OH YEAH.

AND I, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO TALK TO PEOPLE.

JUST YESTERDAY I WAS TALKING TO A COUPLE PEOPLE I KNOW AND, AND ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE DISTRICT AND HE SAID IF THINGS, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT IS HE VOTES AGAINST.

SO HE WAS GLAD I HAD TOLD HIM ABOUT IT.

SO DON'T QUIT YET.

EVERYBODY STILL NEEDS TO BE ADVOCATING.

I AGREE.

RANDY, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UM, I DID POST MY LETTER ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID, THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS.

I HEAR YOU TALKING ALL THE TIME, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT DID.

SO SHE WAS APPRECIATIVE THAT I DID THAT.

SO ANYTHING THAT Y'ALL CAN DO TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE PUBLIC WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE.

SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BACKLASH THIS TIME.

WE NEED TO GET 'EM OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS FAR AS ESPECIALLY LETTING PEOPLE KNOW IT'S NOT A NEW TAX, IT'S NOT A RAISE IN ANYTHING.

IT'S A PART OF WHAT'S ALREADY THERE IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

NOW WE ARE A CAPPED, UM, SALES TAX IN THE CITY, SO WE CAN'T RAISE ANYMORE, BUT IT'S A CAP AND WE'RE DONE.

SO THAT WAS WHY WE WANTED TO GO BACK AND GRAB IT WHEN WE COULD BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE COULD GRAB IT AND UTILIZE IT.

SO IT IS A REAUTHORIZATION.

THIS WILL BE OUR FOURTH ELECTION, I'M ASSUMING.
