And we have chicken, brisket, beans. 46 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,160 » Sounds good. All right, anything else? 47 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,440 » That's all I got. >> All right. 48 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Um what's the saying? The rumor of my death 49 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,680 was greatly exaggerated last week. >> Good timing. 50 00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:00,280 » So, we did survive an 8-day Grand Canyon trip. 51 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:04,800 We were right above the flood. So, we were we were getting rained on 52 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,480 and we uh we got a call the outfitter got a 53 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,040 call from their headquarters saying pull over. 54 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:16,240 So, we pulled over and that's when the flash flood hit. We didn't see it, but 55 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:20,000 we saw it the next So, they held us over one night. 56 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,760 We just camped, which was fine. And then got up the next morning and 57 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,360 they cleared us to go on through and it looked like Kerrville. There's a 58 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,120 little tiny creek runs about 30 cubic feet a second. It ran 30,000 cubic feet 59 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,880 a second. And just 60 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,720 tore through Phantom Ranch, if you've ever been to Phantom Ranch. So, as we 61 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,400 went downstream, there were pieces of buildings. 62 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,760 They were worried about the rafts getting torn up on the metal. 63 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,480 Couple of bridges that were in the water uh 64 00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:51,960 uh they had one body that they had to one death and then I think they're 65 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,240 missing still a body somewhere in all that debris. Big mess. 66 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,440 » The mess is sudden. >> Hot one minute and cold freezing cold 67 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,080 the next. So, just depends on 68 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,680 if you were getting rained on, the water coming out of the bottom of the dam is 69 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:13,080 42°. So, the water itself is cold. 70 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:17,760 It only warms up a degree every 15 mi. So, the water you're getting hammered 71 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,520 with water in the rapids, so you're cold from that and then it's raining on top 72 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,640 of you. So, it's Yeah, there was some 73 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,520 some teeth-chattering days. And then by the afternoon you'd be 74 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:31,560 sitting out in 102° heat. So, it was all over the board. 75 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,040 We had a good time all things considered. 76 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,720 I would have my own I would say if you ever have a chance to go to the Grand 77 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Canyon, that's the way to do it. All right. Report to the city this 78 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 morning? Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have anything from 79 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,919 Terlingua? >> Um I did want to thank Rio Grande 80 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,960 Electric Co-op for their hard work through the 81 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,440 holiday weekend to restore power after that microburst took out I think it was 82 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,320 like six power poles. So, I 83 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,760 » The poles were back in place? >> My understanding is the poles are back 84 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:04,600 in place, power's back on, and people are not sweating anymore. 85 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,680 » And your shed got spun. >> That's the least of my worries. 86 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Yes, it did get moved but a lot of things got moved. 87 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,120 » Apparently that was wind damage to the electrical poles. 88 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Really? That's what knocked the poles >> Poles over was wind? 89 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:18,000 » No, yeah. >> Yes. 90 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120 » It was straight line winds. Straight line winds. It was coming right off of 91 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200 that big mountain. >> Yeah. Yeah. 92 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,120 » And uh I had a video of the 93 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,600 that big rental truck just slammed that trailer with the wind 94 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,840 and all. >> Almost took the van with it. 95 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,840 » Yeah, almost. 96 00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:40,360 » Big wind. >> Anything else in Terlingua? 97 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Yes. Anything else on your end? >> West County's fine. 98 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,120 » Yeah, everybody's happy. No no weather. Drizzle. not enough rain. Don't show 99 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,160 this weekend. The gun show was this weekend. Apparently it was very 100 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,520 successful. People love coming out here. 101 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520 We need an event center. 102 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,960 » Let's borrow some more money. All right. All right. Report from City Alpine. 103 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Well, I Alpine's not here today. So the number eight County Judge items review 104 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:16,320 discuss and take action on the calendar. We did that last meeting, didn't we? 105 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,640 » Uh yeah, the holiday calendar. Have we done the the meetings, too? 106 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,440 They're all together. Yeah, okay. >> Yeah. 107 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120 » I thought maybe we had done one or the other and that was why it was on there 108 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,880 twice. >> Yeah, we're going to skip that one. 109 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:32,000 All right. Now we're on public financing project for Terlingua 110 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,440 Park and Visitor Center. Uh we have a couple of guests here um 111 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,719 to talk to us about the financing piece of this deal. 112 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,599 » So my name is Will Smith. I was here back in May 113 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:47,000 to present some options for you guys. I'm a special public finance with the 114 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:52,480 financial advisor for the county. And we took bids. If you'll I placed one of 115 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,880 these on everybody's spot. Um If you'll turn to 116 00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:00,520 page one. So September 3rd, which was last week, 117 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:06,760 we competitively bid directly to banks the tax note series 2026. 118 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:12,200 Um and approximately $2.5 million of that will be to fund the park facility 119 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:16,560 and recreation and community use. And while if you notice on the agenda, 120 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,240 the language discusses the ad valorem tax, that's and and um 121 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,080 your bond counsel is also here. He can talk 122 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,520 about that. But these are going to be repaid through hotel occupancy tax. So 123 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,600 they will not they will not be paid through the ad valorem even though they 124 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:38,480 are backed by that ad valorem pledge. Um the final maturity on these is 2031 125 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:44,320 February 15th of 2031. and the county received 10 bids from seven banks on the 126 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:48,480 note. Um and the bids vary a lot and I've got a the next page kind 127 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:53,320 of tallies those bids. And then the closing is scheduled if you approve this 128 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,720 this item today, the closing is scheduled for October 7th and that's the 129 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:01,920 point at which proceeds will be available and also the interest will 130 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,560 begin accruing. Go flip to the next page. This is a 131 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,560 overview of the And And the reason it says revised bids up at the top 132 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:16,360 we received bids twice for this. I think you guys remember that. So these are the 133 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:20,040 final bids and the winning bid or at least the lowest bid was Huntington Bank 134 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:26,120 and that's at a 4.1% interest rate which is it's uh 135 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:31,240 as you can see based on on the bids received, that's a pretty good bid. 136 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:36,080 It's about nine basis points lower than the second place bid from Webster. 137 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:40,560 Um two things I'll point out the difference between the first place 138 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,280 bid and the and the fourth place bid and the reason 139 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,960 that's important uh is really because of alls and I'll talk 140 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,200 about that here in a second. There's only $10,000 in interest. 141 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,280 So you can kind of see how tight those bids were especially in that top five or 142 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,200 six. Total debt service on the winning bid 143 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,320 would be $2.827 million. You see that 144 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:06,760 in the far right hand column. Uh and this is this will be important I 145 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:10,880 think here in a second but the call feature on the winning bid is they're 146 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:16,000 callable at any time. You can call them whenever you want. But before February 147 00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:20,560 of 2028 you're going to pay a full basis or really 100 basis points uh 148 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:24,280 kind of a penalty on that. After February of 2028 they're callable at par 149 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,080 which means that you save all the interest that you wouldn't pay after 150 00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:31,920 that point. So it's a little over a year and you can pay these off without any 151 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:36,200 interest. Without any interest penalties. 152 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Um if you'll flip to the next page, this is 153 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:47,240 just a a listing of all the banks that were solicited during this. Uh and it's 154 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,400 pretty typical. We do, depending on, you know, where we are and that sort of 155 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,800 thing, anywhere from 75 to 100 banks we'll 156 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,360 solicit this to. Uh we got 10 bids and like I said, that's that's a we we've 157 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,600 done a couple of different ones like this for counties in in West and Central 158 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,800 Texas and 10 to 15 bids is pretty typical that so we were pleased with the 159 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,080 number of bids that we got, especially with the interest rates that we got. 160 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,960 Um the next page is your debt service schedule comparison and this just 161 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:19,160 compares Huntington Bank to Amegy Bank um because the call feature on the Amegy 162 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:23,400 Bank was the lowest bid with a anytime call and so you notice the difference 163 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,360 between those two winning bids is about $10,000. 164 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,680 Um and so and then at the bottom of that 165 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:35,280 you see your proposed sources and uses. The par amount of 2.57 million, that 166 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:38,360 $70,000 is for uh cost of issuance 167 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:45,040 and then deposit to the project fund we're estimating about $2.5 million. 168 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Um the last page I have here is just a timeline. Um today is the 8th. We're 169 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:55,600 the uh board is uh considering this item. If you approve this item, we will 170 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,440 close this on October 7th and funds will be available at that point. 171 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:03,760 And I can answer any questions that you might have on the side of this. 172 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,760 » Well, you and I talked about this earlier. I I think in this case I I 173 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:12,120 think we we I I would change my thinking on what we 174 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,360 should do. I think 175 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360 what we 176 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,480 We we already we know that the whole projects the the sum of all the projects 177 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,760 of this series is going to be about $5 million for what we have in the 178 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,480 planning. This covers about half of that. 179 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:34,960 Um if it if the construction bids come in 180 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:39,680 um greater than that, I think the motivation for me would be if it's a 181 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:44,240 marginal amount, say it's a 10%, we probably have that in tourism because 182 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:47,120 I didn't take all of the tourism money for 183 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,520 for the construction of this. So, I think we got a little cushion. If 184 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:55,200 it comes in way above 5 million, sort of like the lodge did 185 00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:00,400 at at the park here, I think we have to either scale back or reconsider the 186 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,360 project. So, I I guess where I am is these guys have done a lot of work. I'm 187 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,680 I'm going to I'm going to recommend that we go ahead 188 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,560 and fund. We put it in the bank, we'll earn We're 189 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,240 going to earn 3. 9 on the money. 190 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:18,640 So, our spread is between the interest rate on the note and what we're earning. 191 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:23,880 Uh it's callable in '28, so we can pay it out if if if worst scenario happens 192 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:28,520 and we don't do the project because it comes in too high or we'll just pay the 193 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,520 debt back. 194 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,360 Which we can do in '28 at no cost to us. 195 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Um >> We don't really know the exact cost of 196 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,040 the >> We don't know yet and I but I think it 197 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,760 also it in some ways it also kind of forces 198 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,200 us to keep a cap on the spending. 199 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,960 So, I at this stage of the game, we've come pretty far on this. My 200 00:14:53,200 --> 00:15:00,040 recommendation is that we go ahead and proceed with the issuance of the debt. 201 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,320 Um as everybody understands, this is not going to affect our interest and sinking 202 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:08,600 because the source rate we're pledging ad valorem, but we're using hotel money 203 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:14,680 to pay it back, so it doesn't hit our interest and sinking rate. 204 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:18,640 So, the worst thing can happen is that we'll pay 205 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:22,680 interest for a year at the difference between our investment 206 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,960 rate and the note rate. We'll have the money in the bank ready 207 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,960 to do the project. 208 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:34,560 Um you know, the we we probably could write 209 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:40,160 a check for most of but I just didn't want to drain tourism to zero to build 210 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,160 these projects. 211 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,480 The The The only thing that's that's got me 212 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,960 I mean, you you can't even build an outhouse today 213 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:55,960 less than $75,000. The structural costs are ridiculous. 214 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,840 But, that's the one thing that makes me nervous is what these bids will 215 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440 look like, but we'll just have to deal with them when they come in. 216 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:06,200 And if they're too much, then we'll scale the projects back. 217 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,200 I mean, 218 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,760 it's it's the visitor center in Terlingua that's probably the scale one. 219 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,760 That. But, 220 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,520 you know, we want to try to plan for the next 25 years. 221 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,280 25, 30 years. We've had Red the Cellar about 30 years. 222 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,280 » But, but this game is just we're coming out of Terlingua here. 223 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,520 » This is both >> both projects. 224 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,560 » Yeah, both of them. >> So, 225 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,800 » Okay. >> we've kind of put a cap of $5 million on 226 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,280 both projects. >> Yeah. 227 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:36,000 » The idea was about $3 million. Call it two and a half each. Let's just 228 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:40,520 go with that number. With a $5 million cap, we borrowed half of it. We put 50% 229 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,000 equity in the deal. And we're done. And both projects are 230 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,000 complete. 231 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:53,560 » Both projects meaning in the bunkhouse? >> No, bunkhouse is separate. That's on 232 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:58,040 LHTC. So, this is for the visitor center in Terlingua and the train station 233 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,000 remodel and depot. >> Right. 234 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,839 » In Marathon. >> And the Marathon is fine. 235 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,240 » Yes. >> Correct. 236 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,480 » That's all part of it. >> I mean, we've done well in tourism this 237 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:14,319 year, so we're going to put another half million dollars in reserve in tourism. 238 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,360 Who knows what tourism is going to do next year with all the controversies of 239 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:22,920 the border wall, but so far the fall looks pretty robust. 240 00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:26,680 So, um my recommendation to the court is that 241 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:29,800 we go ahead and proceed and put this bid out. 242 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,360 » This is a dumb question, Paul. $3,000 fee for a 243 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,800 Huntington Bank? >> Mhm. 244 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,480 » That probably doesn't move my effective rate up that much, does it? 245 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,520 » That'd move it 19 basis points. >> No, sir. 246 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,560 » Okay.

If you can get a PO ahead 513 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:45,919 of time that's better, but if you don't and you buy it with an invoice and get 514 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:49,600 the invoice and we get to see those as they come through. 515 00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:53,080 » See a a lot of the the vendors will will not send any 516 00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:57,840 any money.

So the the PO is not the issue. 522 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:18,600 » Right. But I'm just thinking >> The credit Okay.

As long as Veterans Edition gets 552 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,240 graded I have to get 553 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,880 » We're working on it as best as we can.
