Proclamation
The Church of the Living God
WHEREAS "The Lord say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18 (KJV); and
WHEREAS In 1915, The Church of the Living God began as a street ministry in downtown Bryan.
It was birthed out of the heart and soul of Clarence Jenkins, who shared his vision with
other believers according to Habakkuk 2:2. "Write the vision, and make it plain upon the
tables, that he may run that readeth it;" and
WHEREAS Church services were first held in the home of Rosie McDaniel. About 8 to 10 people
met there to praise and worship God by singing, dancing, and with instrument During
that time, Brother Jenkins would teach the group of believers. Once the group grew, they
moved services to the Masonic Hall where rider Dudley Chapel was the first pastor; and
WHEREAS The first church was built in 1949 under the leadership of Elder Cleo Jenkins, the wife
of Brother Jenkins. This church was built and paid for by selling baked goods mid
homemade ice cream on Saturday evenings, which was a time of fellowship and fun for
both adults and children; and
WHEREAS The church was a small building, but the members had great love for each other and
willing hearts. As the number of members grew, Brother Napoleon Hinter saw the need
for a new and larger structure. In 1959-60 the new church was built under the leadership
of Bishop C.H. Hunter; and
WHEREAS Former pastors included Elder Dudley Chapel, Elder J. Posey, Elder Cleo Jenkins, Elder
A. L. Stallion, Bishop C.H. Hunter, Elder Albert Jenkins, Elder Ruby Green, Elder
Willie Green, Bishop D.C. Moore, Elder Benny Mosley, Elder Cleo Cox, Elder John R.
Clay, Elder Ray Lane, and Elder Tyrone Dorsey. In 2010, God sent the present pastor
Apostle Gregory M. Thomas to lead the Church into the future as God leads him.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE ITPROCLAIMED that the Brazos County Commissioners Court does hereby
proclaim that 'I lie Church of the Living God be celebrated and acknowledged for its 100 years of worship.
PROCLAIMED this 15day of September, 5.

"Whereas: the National Association of Town Watch is sponsoring a unique, nationwide crime, drug, and
violence prevention program on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, entitled "National Night Out"; and
"Whereas: the "32ua armual National Night Oat" provides a unique opportunity for Brazos County, the cities
of Bryan and College Station, and Texas A&M University to join forces with thousands of other
communities across the country in promoting cooperative police community crime prevention
efforts; and
-Whereas: the law enforcement agencies of Brazos Comity, the cities of Bryan and College Station, and Texas
A&M University have joined together in the crime prevention efforts and are supporting "National
Night Out 2015" locally; and
"Whereas. it is essential that all citizens of Brazos County, the cities of Bryan and College Station, and Texas
A&M University be aware of the importance of crime prevention programs and the impact their
participation can have on reducing crime, drugs, and violence in Brazos County; and
-Whereas: police -community partnerships and neighborhood safely and awareness and cooperation are

Resolution
In support of Galveston County Commissioners Court
Whereas, Texas statutes provide for the orderly conduct of county business and include provisions addressing
staffing for the county and district courts in a county; and
Whereas, the'l'exas Local Government Code sets forth the process by which elected district, county, and precinct
officers may appoint deputies, assistants, clerks, and other employees that are required in the performance of the officer's
duties, and requires convrussioners court approval of both the creation of, and compensation for, each such position; and
Whereas, the Texas Constitution grants district courts supervisory authority over county commissioners courts
that can be invoked only when a commissioners court acts beyond its jurisdiction or when the commissioners court clearly
abuses the discretion conferred upon it by law; and
Whereas, there exists almost 90 years of judicial precedent holding that a district court may not invoke its own
supervisory authority over a commissioners court, and that a lawsuit challenging an action of the commissioners court is
required to invoke such authority; and
Whereas, a district court's inherent power to require the legislative and executive branches of government to
provide essential staffing for the court to perform its judicial functions has long been recognized by the courts of Texas to
be limited and subject to principles of due process; and
Whereas, the county commissioners courts of Texas, as the sole authority responsible for setting annual budgets
and assessing taxes on county residents to fund such budgets, are the appropriate bodies for making decisions of a
budgetary nature within each county; and
Whereas, in the matter of Tire Hon. Lonnic Cox v. The Hon. Mark Henry, Cause No. 15CV0583, now pending in
the 56th Judicial District Court, Galveston County, these fundamental principles for the orderly conduct of county
business are at issue; and
Whereas, any appellate court decision in the case is likely to have statewide impact of profound importance to all
counties in the state;
Now therefore, be it resolved, that the Commissioners Court of Brazos County, Texas supports the efforts of the
Galveston County Commissioners Court to defend: (1) the well-defined authority of county commissioners courts in
budget matters within each county; and (2) principles of due process applicable to district court review of county
commissioners courts' decisions; and
Be itfurther resolved, that the Commissioners Court of Brazos County, Texas urges other counties to support the
Galveston County Commissioners Court through appropriate means, such as resolutions of support and amicus curiaec,�

FUNDING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN BRAZOS COUNTY AND
BRAZOS COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT #450
THIS AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING ("Agreement") IS ENTERED INTO BY AND BETWEEN
BRAZOS COUNTY, TEXAS, acting by and through its duly elected County Commissioners
(hereinafter "County'), and the BRAZOS COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION
DISTRICT #450 (hereinafter "District"), located in Bryan, Texas, and is effective October 1,
2015.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the District, and County do hereby enter into a contractual
agreement for the District to provide soil and water conservation services to the
residents of Brazos County and to the County proper. The District as the recipient, shall
furnish to the County's Auditor, at a minimum, documentation indicating the use of funds
received from the County. The County's Auditor may require the recipient to provide
information necessary for the County Auditor to properly account for all funds expended
or received by the District; and
WHEREAS, those services will include, but not be limited to, erosion control,
water management, and rural development ("Services"). This will be carried out by
planning and application through informal agreements with land users, or, as required
by Federal or State law. An information and recognition program will be used to inform
the public. Technical assistance is utilized through a Memo of Understanding between
the District and the USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service; and
WHEREAS, erosion control will keep the land productive for its various uses for
many generations. Sediment resulting from erosion clogs our local streams reducing
water carrying capacity and resulting in local flooding. Excessive siltation ruins our local
wetlands, and; therefore, reduces a dwindling wildlife habitat. Silt from erosion carries
many pollutants directly into our local streams and rivers. Conservation practices
consist of erosion control structures, erosion control ponds, gully shaping, diversions,
vegetating old fields, proper management of grazing resources; and
WHEREAS, water management includes recommendations for proper irrigation,
flood control, and water quality. Irrigated crops account for 75% of all water used.
Proper irrigation saves that resource for tomorrow's uses including domestic
consumption. Proper irrigation helps to keep agriculture pollutants from entering
underground water supplies. Conservation practices include total evaluation of irrigation
systems and application procedures, precision land leveling, and underground', pipelines.
Water management includes floodplain management; and
WHEREAS, the District's role in rural development in Brazos County is in
providing fire protection utilizing dry hydrants. Insurance rates outside the city limits can
be lowered a great deal, as well as provide a reliable source of water to fight rural fires.
Farm ponds provide the water and we plan the dry hydrant system. The District is
Brazos County Soil & Water Conservation District Agreement Page 7 of 4
evaluating the use of artificial wetlands to replace septic tank filter fields. The prospects
are very promising, but, much work remains to be done before this technology can be
implemented. Water quality in rural Brazos County will be greatly enhanced if this
method can be used.
WHEREAS, the District and the County have interacted ever since the inception
of the District in 1942. Many conservation problems affect not only the individual
landowner but the County itself.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions.
AGREEMENT
PAYMENT AMOUNT FOR FY 2013
County hereby agrees to pay the District a total payment of $4,500.00 ("Funds")
for the year beginning October 1, 2015 and ending September 30, 2016 for services
provided to the County. Payment of such sum will be paid upon receipt of invoice.
