At the end of August, TxDOT had a pre-construction meeting with the contractor and they stated there was a plan on having a subcontractor start the project several months ago, but that subcontractor left them and they were trying to “get a crew put together.” TxDOT said they were supposed to start work as early as the first week of September.

Thanks to the dedicated work of City Councilman John Trubey, the City of Bonham is getting damaged sidewalks replaced and new sidewalks where there were none. Councilman Trubey

Fleshing Out the Word

to be the light that pushes back the darkness of sin? I have chosen my topic for this Christmas message “Fleshing Out the Word.” The Christmas story begins in the Book of Genesis when the writer tells us it will be through the seed of woman that hope for the hopeless will be received. The Christmas Story prophesies the virgin birth and as God’s timing arrives, the angel announces that Mary has been chosen to give birth to a Son and He shall be called Emmanuel meaning “God with us.” In the fullness of the hour, Jesus is born and becomes the Manger King. Thus, the Word becomes flesh and dwells among us. The Christmas Story con-

tinued, as the Bible told us, that Jesus grew up in stature and in favor with God and man. Jesus is remembered for Gethsemane, Calvary and His ascension, though His physical life was short, He showed us He was the way, the Truth and the Life. In Matthew 28:18-20, we have the Master’s parting commission. It is His assignment to us. “Our life is to be one of fleshing out the word. We are to be witnesses for Him and to Him. We are to “Let others see Jesus in us.” May the Christ of Christmas Bless You in This Season and Always. “A thousand times in history a baby has become a king, but only once in history did a King become a baby.”

intention is to fill the position by the end of the week, which would be Dec. 21. He has been asked about the salary and was unsure how to respond until he approached the Court. He has spoken to Commissioner Barker and they have come up with Grade 5 for the positions of Emergency Management Coordinator and Bond Supervisor Officer, at $32,188 starting salary and Grade 4 for County Judge Administrative Assistant, at $29,261 starting salary. Incoming County Judge, Randy Moore, asked to speak to the court. He questioned the grade level for the Bond Supervisor Officer and whether it was a change for an entry level, new employee. Commissioner Barker said the previous Bond Supervisor Officer was not set at a Grade Level and they moved the grade level to match as closely as they could. Mr. Moore asked also about the other two positions’ grade levels. The Judge said his Administrative Assistant moved from another position, within the County and her salary reflects the move and her previous salary level. Judge Carter assured Mr. Moore they have done their due diligence, through a study performed about 5 to 6 years ago, to make sure grade levels and salaries are comparable to counties of similar size. Mr. Moore was under the impression most Administrative Assistants had been brought in at a beginning salary of around $35,000. Judge Carter said there were preexisting circumstances with each employee who had made more than the Grade 4 salary. Sheriff Johnson asked to speak concerning the Administrative Assistant. He said it is common knowledge the Admins do a lot of work and are usually underpaid for what they do. The Sheriff does not believe $29,000 is sufficient for an Administrative Assistance because of the work and responsibility they have.

He also said if someone is hired with a Bachelor’s degree, there should be consideration for that, in making the salary decision. Judge Carter said that can be done through the Court. Don Grammar spoke in Court and asked why this was not discussed at budget time. Judge Carter said the 3 positions are being filled now. That is why they are brought before the Court, at this time. Commissioner Lackey said the positions are exactly where they are on the matrix. He said all the jobs are on the matrix. Judge Carter said, “I guess it was my mistake for putting it on here. I was just trying to clarify so everyone would understand. It is what it is. That’s what it has been, unless y’all want to change it. If anyone wants to change that, they can do it now or at a later date.” The Judge said he is only concerned with the Emergency Management position and the Bond Supervisor position. He said Mr. Moore can bring it back to the Court at a later date, if he is not satisfied with the salary for the Administrative Assistant. Commissioner Barker made the motion to approve the starting salaries and grade levels. Com-

missioner Lackey seconded. Motion carried. Item 18 Discussion, Consideration and Action to approve the LexisNexis Advance Subscription Agreement for State/ Local Government - with Library Patron Access for the Public Access Computer and approve the County Judge to sign on behalf of the County.

tion carried. Item 22 Discussion and Con5/19/15 sideration of presentation by the 3rd Grade Class from Dodd City Independent School District. Judge Carter introduced the 3rd Grade Class. The third graders each took part in a presentation for Commissioner Barker. They each read a fact about the U.S. Marine Corp, in front of the Court. The Judge said he has been reading to this class each year, on Tuesdays, and continues to follow them through their graduation. He spoke very highly of the students and said there will be many high achievers in the group. The teachers are Ms. Kelton and Ms. Davis. After their reading presentation, the students presented Commissioner Barker with a Ka-Bar knife, which is the knife used by Marines since WWII. It is still used by the Marines, to-

day. Commissioner Barker was very moved and surprised by the honor. One final presentation was read by student, Reid Rich. He read a proclamation to honor Commissioner Barker and proclaimed December 18, 2018 as Stan Barker Day. The students were praised by Judge Carter for their outstanding behavior during the Court proceedings. He then presented them with chocolate candy bars, which brought a huge celebration among the students. Court recessed again. Before Court reconvened, the Commissioners were given copies of the Turner Construction Company contract. Continued See 3rd Graders on page 8

tion Company to serve in the capacity of Construction Management Agent for the County. Judge Carter said they have been working on a contract with Turner Construction Company for a few weeks. He said they ranked highest of the applicants. The company has been in business for 116 years, 32 years in Dallas. They have completed 25 historical projects in Texas, including the University of North Texas School of Law, in downtown Dallas, the Collin County Courthouse addition, City of La Porte Courthouse and the Nolan County Courthouse. Representatives from Turner Construction were present and voiced their intentions to complete the courthouse project within budget and on time. Judge Carter pointed out some timeline dates and fees within the contract: Section 1.1.4 Schedule Milestone Dates: March 1, 2019 – End of Preconstruction Period April 1, 2019 – Commencement of Construction October 31, 2020 Substantial Completion Date Turner Construction is confident they can meet the deadlines. Compensation - Section 11.1.1 Preconstruction Services will be paid at a lump sum of $60,000. Services beginning with the date of the agreement through March 1, 2019. Section 11.1.2 Construction Phase Services – Manager’s Fee is fixed 2% of total project cost. Judge Carter and Commissioner Lackey are both confident Turner Construction will do an outstanding job. Commissioner Lackey said he is certain the company will do a good job and stay on schedule. The Judge said he knows the public doesn’t likely understand

but this project is a process. Newt Cunningham asked about incentives if the company comes in under deadline or budget and if there will be penalties for not fulfilling the contract timeline. The Judge said each contract, for the work being done, will have those type clauses in them. Malinda Allison asked questions concerning the contractors to be hired and possibly how many. The Judge said there will be several and Turner Construction will be negotiating the contracts on behalf of the County. “They are working as our agent.” Randy Moore came forward and first went back to Malinda Allison’s question to clarifiy that Turner Construction has until March 1 to get all the bids and he asked for confirmation from the Judge. The Judge acknowledged that was correct. Mr. Moore then asked of the Turner Construction representatives, “It has been said, and you know what our budget is. My question is, Can you get this done for the $600 a sq. ft.? Do y’all think that can happen?” Judge Carter remarked, “Mr. Moore, I’ve said that probably at least a hundred times.” Mr. Moore said, “I know. I’m asking them. Okay? I’m just simply asking them. I know y’all have stated that. I wanted to hear that from the contractor.” Judge Carter said, “The figure is $666.” Mr. Moore also asked of the representatives if they will be using their own construction crews. To that question, the Turner Construction representative said they are not allowed to do any of the work. It will all have to be bid on by contractors. They will seek at least 3 bids for each piece of the project. Mr. Moore said, “Very good.” Mr. Moore said he spoke to David Chase and was assured he can breathe easy.

Mr. Chase spoke very highly of Turner Construction. His last question was, “Would this advisor agent be available to keep the Court up to date on like a weekly basis? That may be in the contract. I haven’t heard that and I haven’t seen the contract either.” Turner’s representative stated there will be weekly owner’s meetings and a monthly presentation at the Commissioners Court. They will be completely transparent. Mr. Moore said, “Very good. Thank you very much.” Commissioner Lackey said during the negotiations, they were reassured this project can be done within budget. They have a lot of experience. Motion from Commissioner Barker to approve the contract with Turner Construction. Seconded by Commissioner Lackey seconded. Motion carried. Item 23 Comments by County Commissioners and County Judge – Commissioner Whitlock commended the Dodd City teachers and students. Commissioner Barker echoed his comments. He said he was very impressed with the students, as long as they sat and were so well behaved. Mr. Barker is anxious to see the construction take place on the courthouse. Commissioner Lackey said the kids were good and well behaved. He challenged the Judge and the Court to bring jobs in to keep the kids here in the County. Judge Carter read a request for agenda items to be submitted by Wednesday, December 19 for the December 27 meeting. County time sheets are also due by Thursday, December 20, to accommodate the holiday schedule. The Judge thanked the kids for coming. Item 24 Adjourn Commissioner Whitlock moved to adjourn.

In a fee-based account, clients pay a quarterly fee, based on the level of assets in the account, for the services of a financial advisor as part of an advisory relationship. In deciding to pay a fee rather than commissions, client should understand that the fee may be higher than a commission alternative during periods of lower trading. Advisory fees are in addition to the internal expenses charged by mutual funds and other investment company securities. To the extent that clients intend to hold these securities, the internal expenses should be included when evaluating the costs of a fee-based account. Clients should periodically re-evaluate whether the use of an asset-based fee continues to be appropriate in servicing their needs. These additional considerations, as well as the fee schedule, are listed more fully in the Client Agreement and the firm’s Wrap Fee Program Brochure & Brochure Supplement for Ambassador or the firm’s Form ADV Part 2A & Brochure Supplement for Passport.

Like all of us, we have had our 12/25/18 ups and downs, but our good Lord seemed to get us through it all. Jesus is truly the “reason for the season”, and may we always focus on Him, and not ourselves. The last recipe of the year is for your New Year’s celebration. You can eat it on your favorite cracker, or just by themselves, but WE MUST HAVE OUR BLACKEYED PEAS for the new year! You know, I bet this would be good with some cornbread crumbled up in it right before eating. Just a thought, and that certainly didn’t come with the recipe, nor did the crackers. The recipe just says it serves 10. $

Change can happen in Bonham, but someone has to get the ball rolling, and even then, it takes time and persistence. More positive changes are coming your way soon, too! Thank you, Councilman Trubey and City Manager Sean Pate. We can see a huge improvement, already, on the streets in Bonham and at NO cost to taxpayers. The State money was waiting to be used.

child less than last year,” said Sandy Barber, Executive Director of the Children’s Center. “However, this still is about 100 kids more than we had been giving presents to for many years prior to 2017. Fortunately, the Fannin County community turned out in force to make sure our kids were taken care of. So many individuals, families, businesses, churches and other organizations gave what they could and it all added up to meet the needs.” First National Bank of Trenton, Legend Bank, Tax Assessor Collector Office, Tractor Supply, Blessings and Butterflies, Cato’s, Warrior Tire, Bonham Smiles, Cole Title Company and WalMart put up teddy bear trees to help the center collect presents. “Many of these locations have been doing this for as long as we can remember. A few places were new this year too,” said Barber. “We are so blessed by their generous and faithful support of our Christmas Drive.” Presents of clothes, shoes, coats, toys and other items were given to the children and youth who are being served by CASA and the Children’s Advocacy Center. Some of the children are living in foster homes, away from family and friends. Other children have gone to live with grandparents or other relatives as a result of abuse or neglect. Many of these families struggle financially when one or more children suddenly come to live with them. In other families, the discovery of sexual abuse in the home has meant the loss of family income when the offender leaves. In January, there will be a new training class for individuals interested in becoming CASA volunteers. There will also be free classes for adults to learn how to prevent, recognize and respond to child abuse. For more information about the Children’s Center, call (903) 583-4339 or go to www.fanninccc.org.
