\"If a piece of property was made available for a homeless shelter, there are plenty of charities in place that could pick up the rest of the cost if they had a piece of property,\" Shackelford said during public comment. He identified organizations such as the Samaritan Inn as insufficiently flexible to house the majority of people experiencing homelessness and urged the county to act because he said \"no single city should be burdened with that.\"

Shackelford, who said he previously worked at a large homeless shelter in Dallas and at juvenile detention facilities in two Texas counties, suggested county involvement could include appointing commissioners to a shelter board to provide oversight. He said a county-owned facility could offer wraparound services such as education and medical care to people exiting jail and reduce the movement of people from other jurisdictions into Collin County.

The court did not make a motion, take a vote, or specify next steps in response to Shackelford's request. No site, cost estimate, or partnering charity was proposed in the public remarks.

Shackelford described conversations with city council members and police in McKinney and said cities have resisted hosting large shelters. He asked the county to consider the request as an option to address homelessness across municipal boundaries.

The request was part of the public comment period; the court proceeded to adjourn and to convene separate foundation and authority meetings later in the session.

No follow-up assignment, timeline, or formal transfer of county property was recorded in the public meeting record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Collin - Health Care Foundation - May 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A long-time Collin County resident asked commissioners to make county property available for a homeless shelter, proposing board oversight; the court did not move the request to a vote or assign follow-up at the meeting.","taxTitle","Collin County, Texas","taxId",2696,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6569238,"Renner Frankford election judge asks Collin County commissioners to review temporary poll-worker wages",123,176000,299000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192297-eb0f3cb6c04e041b8577693182db1cbe&start=176&end=299","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192297-eb0f3cb6c04e041b8577693182db1cbe/thumbnail_176000.jpg","/articles/6569238/Collin-County/Texas/Renner-Frankford-election-judge-asks-Collin-County-commissioners-to-review-temporary-poll-worker-wages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569238-bf1a976b5c42bbc1eab86b005461659b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770827107&Signature=S36rj6qpBPcwLBhAtHIPMV~fATyzsxVUWIa~ktzGE5S14H0vyqWSwkCKrMFNp36zn7g5kbmfWSn2uP0U7XWpYJqNeO18EIAwPACjAFewTUb~ukCtNnhAMsgMdJJkG940oZQ0l-~tQQinYradMpmuJpZO5OtvVdgXsaDdCurjHm20BwZUByMyjHoh5RkpVbpn0ENQRxVZURIKF3-E5GcbTfd69uDCVAKlGHgWFbSf0e8GqoNrYj~C1ccKFacs3MxxcsLjdWfTq7OBBVBrgs8MKUP-JjNfpN70dm8AgFNMeqz6AVum19nqNR0z8LTXemJ86T4aY96o~LYNOPQi6yRmRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Janet Plotkin, an election judge at the Renner Frankford Library polling location in Plano, asked Collin County Commissioner's Court to review and adjust the wage structure for election workers, presenting a petition on behalf of staff.

\"We, the undersigned election staff of the Renner Frankfort Library polling place, respectfully submit this petition to formally request a review and adjustment of our current wage structure,\" Plotkin said during public comment, adding that fair, market-driven wages would \"recognize the hard work and dedication of the staff, but also boost morale, productivity, and employee retention.\"

The court did not take formal action on the petition at the meeting. The presiding official told Plotkin the county holds an annual budget workshop each August and said, \"we have a budget workshop every year in August, and so we'll do that here in the coming months where we look at all the expenses and forecast for the next year. And, that'll be the opportunity for us to talk amongst ourselves about that.\" The official did not specify any timeline or dollar amounts for a wage change.

Plotkin identified herself as a 25-year Collin County resident and said she serves as the election judge at the Renner Frankford Library, at which poll workers \"are the face of elections\" and regularly receive compliments from voters, she said. She asked the court to consider a \"fair and timely market driven wage adjustment\" for poll workers.

No specific wage figures, proposed pay rates, or a formal motion to change wages were presented at the meeting. The presiding official directed that budget planning is the appropriate venue for the request.

The petition came during the public comment portion of the Commissioner's Court meeting. The court later approved its consent agenda items by motion; the approval was procedural and separate from the petition.

Looking ahead, county staff and commissioners will have an opportunity to consider the petition during the annual budget workshop the presiding official referenced; no follow-up date or assignment was recorded in the public meeting minutes.","An election judge at Renner Frankford Library presented a petition asking Collin County Commissioner's Court to review and adjust poll-worker wages; court officials said the item will be considered during the county's annual budget workshop.","actionData","errors"]
