Mr.Eduardo Estrada informed the Court about an incident that occurred on Saturday June 22, 2019 at 11:54 a.m at the Waste Collection Site in Precinct 4. He stated the site was closed when the posted signed said the location did not close until 12 p.m. He requests the Commissioners to put a clock at the gate to assure the locations do not close before the posted times.
Ms. Fern McClaughtery raised concerns with an article in the paper regarding the purchase of trucks that appeared to be stolen since the VIN numbers did not match. She also raised concerns with McAllen Mayor Jim Darling being reappointed to the Rio Grande Regional Water Authority Board again. She stated he had been on the board for 22 years and questioned if the position had term limits.
Martha Sanchez, from LUPE, requests for the Court to allocate fund from the budget for infrastructure in the colonias. She stated there are still colonias who lack infrastructure because there is no line item on the budget. She thanks Commissioner Joe Flores and Commissioner Ellie Torres for taking the time to talk with them about privatizing waste collections. She stated she is still pending a meeting with Commissioner David Fuentes. She also stated the one thing that is very clear is the public does not want the additional cost of the waste collection to be assessed to the taxes.
Joe Rodriguez raised concerns with the bar ditches throughout the county. He stated some of these ditches have not been cleaned out in many years and with the recent floods it makes it difficult for the water to drain. He questions the counties use of FEMA funds to repair roads instead of replacing them entirely. He also question if anyone is checking the drainage requirements on all the new subdivisions being approved thru Commissioners Court.
