1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,960
I see a spill on top represents not only historic achievement, but an enduring responsibility to lead with foresight, stewardship, and innovation in the management of energy resources, and whereas with our university, located at the geographic and economic heart of this historic energy corridor, as long served the region through engineering education, research, and industry engagement,

2
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,840
Levering its location, academic, excellence, and partnerships to advanced

3
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,980
regional prosperity, and whereas LaVaria University has watched the

4
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:42,740
doctor of business administration and energy management and interdisciplinary

5
00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:48,260
executive level doctoral program designed to meet the complex

6
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:54,320
strategic technical and leadership demands of the modern energy sector, and

7
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:02,140
as Lamar University's commitment to interdisciplinary, applied research, university industry collaboration,

8
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,820
and executive education positions it as an authoritative voice in energy management, education,

9
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,620
and a catalyst for innovation in Southeast Texas and beyond.

10
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:19,600
Now therefore, be it proclaim that the Commissioner's Court of Jefferson County, here

11
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,680
by designates the second Friday of October as Energy Day in Southeast Texas to be observed annually

12
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,040
in recognition of the region's foundational role in global energy economy and in during

13
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,200
legacy of Spentletop and the continued advancement of energy leadership research and innovation.

16
00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:58,260
and forward-looking engagement that connects the origins of the energy industry to its

17
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:03,640
future through education, applied research, and executive leadership development.

18
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,860
That's all.

00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,060

27
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:50,880

00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,760
College of Business Accreditation Agency.

30
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,120
There's no other institution and no other location in the world that can claim this and

31
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,540
we're putting our stake on the ground and claiming that as all these Texas energy day.

I want to tell you how extremely proud I am of the Maori institutions in the University for being an educational institution that responds to the needs of existing economy that are both teaching

37
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:47,230

Out of May, it's considered an approved excuse,

167
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:15,740

168
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:21,060
Item J is considered an approved excuse to receive and file a job order contract with

170
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:37,740

171
00:14:40,220 --> 00:14:44,860
Adam K is to consider and prove X to receive and file a job order contract with March

00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:51,000

00:14:57,460 --> 00:14:59,960
to see a valid job on a contract with Mark Morpon.

175
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,020
We're proofing for annexed two roof construction in the amount of $86,000 in accordance with the Region

176
00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:13,100
5 contract. Out of MIM is considered a proof that we receive filing agreement with SOE software corporation.

177
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:28,040
For the period October 1, 26 to September 30, 29, with a one-time implementation fee of $9,800 in an annual amount of $7,200, with a non-appropriation clause included for the tax assessor's office,

178
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,820
which had been approved by the M.I.S. Department,

179
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,820
which I understand replaces another software

180
00:15:37,820 --> 00:15:42,760
program that they were previously used out of the M.S. to consider in a previous

181
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,620
year, receiving file on agreement with Hilltop Security, that's that management L.F.C.

184
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,520

185
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,820

salvage property is offered by local government

187
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:08,600
code section 263.15 to three for broken or obsolete items.

188
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,720
And that, that's a little understanding enough, all right.

189
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:19,080
Do we have a motion on that?

190
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:19,960
Those ask somebody.

191
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,500
I'm sorry.

192
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,520
Moving to the second and second by commissioner there to the well, it's just gusting.

193
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Not more discussion.

194
00:16:27,580 --> 00:16:33,040
I want to make sure you've stated earlier that you would Jay, we only pay a certain

195
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,060
ported portion of that.

196
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,980
As you stated, the tenant will provide ex amount in that.

197
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,560
So we won't be paying a total of 200,000.

198
00:16:43,180 --> 00:16:49,560
I think you said they're providing 120,000 of the 233,000.

199
00:16:55,230 --> 00:16:56,170
Any other questions?

200
00:16:57,150 --> 00:16:58,810
All the papers say aye.

201
00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:59,730
Any opposed?

202
00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:00,690
Yes.

203
00:17:00,750 --> 00:17:01,670
Have it.

204
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:05,730
Under emergency management, we have one item receiving file of fully executed agreement

205
00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:10,210
between Jefferson County and Lamar University regarding maintenance and placement of early

206
00:17:10,210 --> 00:17:11,690
warning for the censor.

207
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:13,570
So move.

208
00:17:13,790 --> 00:17:16,450
Moved and targeted by commissioners all for an error.

209
00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:18,130
Will it any discussion?

210
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:20,730
All the favour say aye.

211
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:22,190
Any opposed?

212
00:17:23,010 --> 00:17:23,250
The aye.

213
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:24,450
It's having under county commissioners.

214
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:26,870
We already covered as an A and E.

215
00:17:27,150 --> 00:17:28,310
Adam B is considered.

216
00:17:28,890 --> 00:17:30,530
Possibly approved received and filed a

217
00:17:30,530 --> 00:17:32,310
Resolution to extend the deducted

218
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:34,250
Apporation issued for Toronto storm

219
00:17:34,250 --> 00:17:42,310
and ward, so into the local government code section 418.108 to be, Adam C, is to consider

220
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:46,110
possibly to prove an authorized candidate to execute an interlocal agreement between

00:17:46,110 --> 00:17:51,230
Jefferson County, along with the Jefferson County Taxi-Setro Collection, go to Red Strow

222
00:17:51,230 --> 00:17:56,890
and Jefferson Central Approval District, so I do section 791 of the Texas Local Government

223
00:17:56,890 --> 00:17:59,570
Code, which is in our local cooperation act.

224
00:17:59,570 --> 00:18:05,110
And if D is received in file, the executed amended tax abatement between Jefferson County

225
00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:12,790
and method XUS operation dean, who purchased the assets of OCI fuels, U.S.A. Inc.,

226
00:18:12,790 --> 00:18:18,310
and will assume the obligations and privileges of OCI fuels, U.S.A. Inc.,

227
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:19,990
under the original agreement.

228
00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:25,310
President of the chapter, we'll borrow one at second, the text, the text, the text, the

229
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:31,690
And I'm asked if you consider possibly a proven authorized county judge to execute a

230
00:18:31,690 --> 00:18:37,050
semifinal quick claim deed from Jefferson County to Lawrence, Grogan, an air of Lawrence

231
00:18:37,050 --> 00:18:43,310
sales who has a resignation redeemed the property that was a subject of an ordered chair of

232
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:51,210
So, which would struck off in call number 25, DCC, B-O-C, O-2s.

233
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:55,110
Adam G, it's considered possible to approve an authorized candidate to execute a correction

234
00:18:55,110 --> 00:19:02,080
of special warranty date from Jeffs and County to Lamar State College for author to correct

235
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,260
several mistakes and priorities related to exhibits, acreage, description, and grant or grant

236
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:14,220
the identity, and to go ahead and clarify that the correct property description is 0.37

237
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:20,340
an acre. Adam H is considered a positive proven authorized candidate to execute special

238
00:19:20,340 --> 00:19:25,020
warranty needs, conveying a real property from Jeff and Kenny. To Jeff and Kenny,

239
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:40,140
drain the district number 7 for a 0.471 acre track. A 0.02 acre track. And a 0.881 acre track

240
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:48,320
plan is described in those deeds for use by them for their work on the Arcane Protection

241
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,660
Levy. And Adam, I just consider them properly, for the Resolution, or the Resolution,

242
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:58,420
or the Resolution, for the Reflection of Canis subdivision and development regulations

243
00:19:58,940 --> 00:20:01,920
provided to us by the District Attorney's Office.

244
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:04,480
Yeah, I have emotional now, those items under the Commission.

245
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,400
I'll move it in a second in any discussion

246
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:14,340
on the favor say aye, aye, is your vote?

247
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,900
Yes, have it.

248
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,940
And under Canaclark, we have one item to consider and possibly approve authorized injection,

249
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,300
canaclark to establish and collect a fee of $2 each for the optional purchase of

250
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:30,640
acid-free, archable, poly-in-beloaves, document preservation envelopes when the customers

251
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:37,340
obtain marriage and bottle record licenses to be effective on October 1st, 2026 to have

252
00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:38,540
motion on that on.

253
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:45,220
Second, moving to take in the back of mission as well as in Erickson, you need discussion?

254
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:50,520
I guess the question is it, this is a new, is this someone who is on fund the mandates?

255
00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:52,460
Okay.

256
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:53,080
No, she does.

257
00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:53,400
No.

258
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,960
You're not forced to sell those.

259
00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:56,500
No.

260
00:20:57,220 --> 00:20:57,740
Okay.

261
00:20:57,740 --> 00:21:08,840
So, this is just a service that they're providing at exchange for their purchasing and maintaining

262
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,440
custody.

263
00:21:09,740 --> 00:21:14,980
I don't know if I think we pay a dollar 21 for each of them, we're going to sell them for

264
00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:15,520
$2.

265
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,120
And it will be optional with the people that are getting marriage licenses and so forth.

266
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,720
That's the weather they want to preserve it or whether someday they want to burn it.

267
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,460
Some of them are, some of them are, some of them are, some of them are, some of them are.

268
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:38,040
So once you're just a fear, you're just a water.

269
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:44,040
Well, I'll forgive you, Lord.

270
00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:53,100
But all in favour of say I, in the opposed, you have to have it.

271
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:59,520
Under human resources, as it may as consider possibly proof granted you extended leave without pay.

272
00:21:59,820 --> 00:22:04,560
For up to 90 days for a train of redmin and for a county court at law number two to have a motion on that.

273
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:10,200
That's a move to take it back to Mr. Zollford and Eric to need his guest.

274
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:13,980
All my favorites say aye, aye, any opposed?

275
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:16,960
Yes, you have it.

276
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,520
Undercanny airport, we've got a long agenda today.

277
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:22,940
Out of the way, it should be a court place.

278
00:22:23,380 --> 00:22:24,480
Yeah, that's right.

279
00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:27,280
To be an Austin working.

280
00:22:30,050 --> 00:22:36,710
United consider possibly improvement authorized candidates to execute receiving file and ratified the federal aviation administration,

281
00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:54,170
airport improvement, project grant number 47. In the amount of $2,625,448, this grant fund to 95% of the airfield electrical project at the Jack Brunford Regional Airport had a

282
00:22:54,170 --> 00:22:57,570
is considered and talked with the proven author. I just can't judge, excuse you to lease a

283
00:22:57,570 --> 00:23:02,310
agreement with the LNL leading LLC for three parking lots. That's a direct brief

284
00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:07,310
reason, later forward, for a two year period, beginning October 1, 2020, sick and

285
00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:16,990
expiring September 30, 2020, 8. And Adam C will be tabled until we discuss the

286
00:23:16,990 --> 00:23:21,150
I think more in there, do I have a motion on these two items?

287
00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:28,270
So moved by Commissioner Orford, seconded by Commissioner Will is discussion, I think.

288
00:23:29,630 --> 00:23:34,990
Now I want to tell you, I'm now leasing which for $12 dollars was by, that's in accordance

289
00:23:34,990 --> 00:23:36,110
with market value.

290
00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:43,610
Yes, sir, at least that it's pretty close to what they pay in other places.

291
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:49,530
And it's a non-percent increase over what we're getting last time.

292
00:23:49,910 --> 00:23:51,170
Thank you.

293
00:23:51,170 --> 00:23:51,750
Thank you.

294
00:23:51,810 --> 00:23:53,570
Thank you for your work on that.

295
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:54,730
All in favour of that.

296
00:23:55,210 --> 00:23:55,550
All right.

297
00:23:55,650 --> 00:23:56,270
Any above?

298
00:23:57,070 --> 00:23:58,330
I have it.

299
00:23:58,690 --> 00:24:00,530
Under risk management we have one item.

300
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:02,190
Consider improving authorized candidates.

301
00:24:02,510 --> 00:24:06,610
Sound and proof for lost statements for the health storm of April 15th, 2023.

302
00:24:06,970 --> 00:24:07,710
Do I have a motion on that?

303
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:08,470
Second.

304
00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:09,510
Moved and second.

305
00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:11,370
Do I have any discussion?

306
00:24:11,370 --> 00:24:15,850

310
00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:30,130
and I really appreciate everybody's diligence on that.

311
00:24:30,610 --> 00:24:32,490

00:24:32,730 --> 00:24:36,070
So that's my comment, just like, thank you for all your work.

313
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:42,500
All the favors that I had in the opposed.

314
00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:49,060
And lastly, under engineering, we have three items that are made, consider possibly approved.

315
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,380
Execute received filed a resolution adopting a traffic sign, reflectivity, inspection, and maintenance plan,

316
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:02,140
for use by the precincts to formalize efforts to comply with federal and state requirements related to the Americans with disability.

317
00:25:02,140 --> 00:25:06,980
of the Act. Out of B is considered possible if we have actually received a file of resolution

318
00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:12,540
to authorize the county judge to execute an advanced funding agreement with TechDot. Outlining

319
00:25:12,540 --> 00:25:17,460
responsibilities of initial construction and future maintenance of railroad sange and markings

320
00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:20,540
on railroad crossings in the county jurisdiction.

321
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,300
Out of C is considered possible to improve an authorize county judge to execute the Modified

322
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:33,740
the United States Army Corps of Engineers Permette, SWG-2013-004-1,

323
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:38,180
authorizing work to restore the Keith Lake Fish Path Baffles

324
00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:41,460
structure to optimal functionality.

325
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:43,660
I'm mostly on those lines.

326
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:44,520
So moved.

327
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:44,820
Second.

328
00:25:45,060 --> 00:25:45,780
Loved in second.

329
00:25:45,980 --> 00:25:47,220
My commission is offered there.

330
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:47,920
Good.

331
00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:49,060
Bless you.

332
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,660
God bless you.

333
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,080
All in favor say aye.

334
00:25:54,260 --> 00:25:54,620
Aye.

335
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,620
Can you follow?

336
00:25:55,620 --> 00:26:06,800
have it and that completes our regular agenda and any member of the commissioner's quarter or any member of the public who wishes to bring anything to the attention of the public without attacking action.

337
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,260
We thank you. We have represented the drainage district.

338
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:20,420
Seven days a day appreciating which sends the work that y'all are doing down there on the levy improvement project at a

339
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,740
Great meeting yesterday morning with on-road our state senators and

340
00:26:26,340 --> 00:26:29,500
representatives to highlight the necessity for

341
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:38,700
State appropriations this session that they have made another sessions to support the local cost share for

342
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:45,280
for any federal appropriations we give, which normally carry a 35% local car share,

343
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:49,890
but

344
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:56,610
we'll move a little bit more work to do on that before the legislative session, but we appreciate

345
00:26:56,610 --> 00:27:02,290
the presentation that you all made, both orange and different county, and bringing together

346
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:10,830
the needs of our counties and chambered and gouts and county with respect to Gulf Coast

347
00:27:10,830 --> 00:27:13,750
in that condition district was there.

348
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:16,850
Julie, what I asked was given my thanks for that re-forc.

349
00:27:16,890 --> 00:27:18,310
I failed to mention down the base.

350
00:27:18,490 --> 00:27:20,670
She's done a lot of good work for us as well.

351
00:27:21,010 --> 00:27:22,950
And I want to thank you for, I gave you queries,

352
00:27:23,210 --> 00:27:24,910
but I want to thank you for testifying and all

353
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:26,150
of us in all our bad lives.

354
00:27:27,770 --> 00:27:30,130
Like I went up, Aubrey, we raise your hand.

355
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,870
We have Aubrey Castle all with us this morning.

356
00:27:33,150 --> 00:27:36,250
She is a student at LIT, and in a government class,

357
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:38,850
and she reached out as part of her studies

358
00:27:38,850 --> 00:27:42,930
to interview a local, like, official, and that came through my email.

359
00:27:43,610 --> 00:27:46,830
So I encourage you to come up here, you know, investment in the next generations.

360
00:27:46,830 --> 00:27:47,670
Very important.

361
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:49,430
I mean, we have it right here in our backyard.

362
00:27:50,130 --> 00:27:51,690
I appreciate you for being here today.

363
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:55,470
Kind of get a look into how this works and how it kind of give them a work.

364
00:27:56,150 --> 00:27:59,210
So glad to have you today, and appreciate it.

365
00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:02,170
Well, thank you, you're here.

366
00:28:02,350 --> 00:28:02,750
Hey, Ted.

367
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:07,450
Do you want to mention anything about the good news in reference to this being nature thing?

368
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:08,750
and to have they see anything.

369
00:28:09,170 --> 00:28:11,370
Yeah, as Commissioner Alfred had mentioned earlier,

370
00:28:11,570 --> 00:28:15,030
we've very sad, and we've lost Commissioner Joe Johnson

371
00:28:15,030 --> 00:28:17,830
who's pointing by this court in the member of the,

372
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:20,090
it's a being nature's navigation district,

373
00:28:20,770 --> 00:28:25,010
but that's been about 25 years of work that has been going

374
00:28:25,010 --> 00:28:32,510
on around here, started back when Commissioner Alfred

375
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,530
first got to go to.

376
00:28:37,940 --> 00:28:42,640
And we finally, the time of years ago, we got our chief report

377
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:50,200
of proving the deepening of the Sabine nature's waterway. I mean, like two years after

378
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,600
that three years ago, we got our first federal appropriations to the end. The first years

379
00:28:54,600 --> 00:29:03,880
will increment and Congressman Weber was instrumental and has continued to be instrumental in

380
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:13,160
those federal appropriations and pointing out the huge significance of our waterway, nationally

381
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:20,940
and internationally, you know, number one crude exporter in the United States back and forth

382
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:30,860
with court discretion. Number one, LNGX border in the United States, the section of the Gulf

383
00:29:30,860 --> 00:29:34,940
and the Gulf of the Waterway, which runs through Jeffron County is the busiest for maritime

384
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:37,700
commerce in the entire United States.

385
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,740
Here we are making 10% of the diesel fuel in the United

386
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:52,880
stage 15% of the gas and lean, 40% of the commercial aviation fuel, 79% of the military

387
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:59,740
aviation fuel, and powering and sending through the colonial earnings for pipeline.

388
00:30:00,430 --> 00:30:14,070
A few underground all the way up to Lindell, New Jersey and Chicago that powers every airport, major airport east of the Rocky Mountains.

389
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:25,390
So, there's a very important area, congressmen, Weber and our local delegation have been extremely

390
00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:35,210
important in furthering that evening project, which is moving along because of the engineering

391
00:30:35,210 --> 00:30:43,210
study that call value engineering where they determine rather than cut 12 foot all the way

392
00:30:43,210 --> 00:30:48,890
from the outer banks up to the port of Beaumont that would cost six foot during the first

393
00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:54,730
run and come back from the port of Beaumont doing six foot, which would allow each of the

394
00:30:54,730 --> 00:31:04,190
industries along the waterway to get use of that increment in a much quicker fashion, which

395
00:31:04,190 --> 00:31:11,970
would save them a lot of money more quickly, because they've been hundreds of millions of dollars

396
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:18,010
President, leader, leader in vessels off shore, right, because to get them to a draft that

397
00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:20,150
they can accommodate the waterway.

398
00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:28,450
So they are in the process of deepening the channels from 40 to 48 feet, actually 52 feet

399
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:31,830
because of the fourth foot, overage for future maintenance and operation.

400
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:41,050
They have now started about two years ago a steady not going through the core of engineers,

401
00:31:44,350 --> 00:31:53,710
through their own economists, or maritime economists, to widen the waterway. We have had

402
00:31:53,710 --> 00:31:59,330
assistant secretary of the Army, Adam Tale, for several works, the Chief of Civil

403
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:07,710
Works down here, three times, a very no-sonant nonsense, get things done, that matter

404
00:32:07,710 --> 00:32:09,650
who gets credit for our kind of guy.

405
00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:14,490
And a couple of weeks ago, a assistant secretary

406
00:32:14,490 --> 00:32:17,850
at the tail was named Secretary of the Army.

407
00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:21,830
And having been down here three times heard our story,

408
00:32:22,110 --> 00:32:26,490
saying what it means to maritime commerce,

409
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:30,670
to the energy security in the United States,

410
00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:36,970
and how important economically, and that's

411
00:32:36,970 --> 00:32:44,170
job creator it is, he approved the Wadning Project, which now puts its in line for federal

412
00:32:44,170 --> 00:32:45,090
appropriations.

413
00:32:45,290 --> 00:32:50,090
Start that work, which will allow two way traffic on our waterway, which will allow

414
00:32:50,090 --> 00:33:00,190
nighttime traffic on our waterway, and will substantially improve the navigability of the

415
00:33:00,190 --> 00:33:03,670
waterway in the safety of the waterway, so we're extremely thankful for that.

416
00:33:03,670 --> 00:33:10,470
all that ties in with the proclamation we had for Lamar University earlier today, and it just emphasizes

417
00:33:10,470 --> 00:33:17,270
what we need, we need that help from the University to make sure we continue forward in the right direction.

418
00:33:17,530 --> 00:33:23,710
So thank you all again. Any other thing with that is tremendous growth opportunities for our area,

419
00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:31,410
unbelievable because if you look at it, we had a natural, natural waterway. It's just those things and

420
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:36,210
working together will get things accomplished, and I want to make sure to judge

421
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:41,170
Related because he's been working diligent with it, but it's something that's been

422
00:33:41,170 --> 00:33:42,230
on going on project.

423
00:33:42,550 --> 00:33:46,230
This will change the face of Jefferson County's work.

424
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:56,440
Well, I want to thank Egypt for being here today, and Mike, I hope you'll extend our gratitude

425
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:03,300
appreciation to the congressmen for his assistance and there's nothing further.

426
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:05,260
God bless you and we are adjourned.

427
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:07,720
We have 11 up a lot.

428
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,260
Close it.

429
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,620
All right.

430
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:25,980
All well?

431
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:27,260
Let's check it out.

432
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:30,140
Yeah.

433
00:38:30,690 --> 00:38:59,650
22, December 22nd, 2026, we'll call to order this meeting of the Jeffron County Industrial Development Corporation, which had been previously noticed on the Texas open meeting in act, and I will turn it over to Mr. Goodson, our legal counsel, to consider payment for invoices for our legal services related to Jeffron County Industrial Development Corporation, a presentation.

434
00:39:02,350 --> 00:39:08,450
by legal counsel on the tax exempt status of the bonds and consideration in possible action

435
00:39:08,450 --> 00:39:12,690
on threat, negotiating settlement of our answer, audited tax exempt status.

436
00:39:14,770 --> 00:39:20,070
So, I don't see that we're going to do this in closed session.

437
00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:24,710
Only if you all won't, we didn't see any needs as we'll state on that.

438
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:27,350
I don't know either, I don't see any reason to do it.

439
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:30,770
So, we'll go ahead and let you proceed.

440
00:39:30,770 --> 00:39:40,070
Thank you. I'll move to items three and four board members. As you all know, several weeks

441
00:39:40,070 --> 00:39:48,890
ago, you engaged the Oregon to help assist with the close-out of the IRS audit of the

442
00:39:48,890 --> 00:40:00,010
TRP crude LLC bond issue. At that time, you granted settlement authority and this has been

443
00:40:00,010 --> 00:40:06,390
an interesting road that I'm happy that you all haven't had to drive in the last three

444
00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:15,970
half weeks. Effectively, the agent did not agree to settle it within what the settlement

445
00:40:15,970 --> 00:40:18,870
term was, which was around $25,000.

446
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:27,590
The IRS has, as of last Friday, agreed and confirmed,

447
00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:34,370
Monday that they would agree to a settlement payment, which is 120% of the taxpayer exposure

448
00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:40,310
for the open years that are available for audit and close out by the IRS, which will

449
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:46,210
be a exposure number of around $28,000, slightly above the settlement authority we received,

450
00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:53,890
but we're asking for $7,030,000 because it's like a never-ending story that they have agreed

451
00:40:53,890 --> 00:40:59,990
on the summer amount, but then they may come back and ask for a little bit of penalty on that,

452
00:41:00,090 --> 00:41:01,330
which any of us are available.

453
00:41:02,430 --> 00:41:07,710
But again, the Oregon attorneys have assured me that we will not need to ask for so many

454
00:41:07,710 --> 00:41:09,950
30,000.

455
00:41:10,110 --> 00:41:20,610
So that will be my comment to item three in my request that, for item four, that the board would

456
00:41:20,610 --> 00:41:26,310
authorize the negotiating settlement of the IRS audit as to the tax attempts at the PR

457
00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:33,010
coup bonds, not to exceed $30,000, there will thereafter be documents that we will ask

458
00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:39,730
the Board President to sign to close this out, and then there is, I just want to remind

459
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:45,670
the Board, an additional obligation that we've already discussed with the Bontra Stee and

460
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:49,370
brand is where there's that we will have to post on the

461
00:41:49,370 --> 00:41:53,150
end of the system. Basically I noticed the bonds are no longer

462
00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:59,030
tax exempt. They were subject to an audit, a settlement agreement was

463
00:41:59,030 --> 00:42:04,130
reached and this will go posting. Basically for notification that

464
00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:07,630
none of the existing bond holders may take these bonds and

465
00:42:07,630 --> 00:42:12,270
seal them on the market as though they were still tax exempt. So I'm

466
00:42:12,270 --> 00:42:15,650
happy to ask entry questions. I'm sorry that we're back asking for

467
00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:21,090
is a bit of additional authority, but would request the authority to settle the audit for

468
00:42:21,090 --> 00:42:26,690
a settlement amount not to exceed $30,000, but based upon the 120% of the taxpayer

469
00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:27,990
exposure for the open.

470
00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:35,070
The judge had my commotion, did we approve that settlement authority of up to or not to exceed

471
00:42:35,070 --> 00:42:36,090
$30,000?

472
00:42:36,090 --> 00:42:44,670
Did your motion also include addums to N4, also the payment and legal services in voice?

473
00:42:45,610 --> 00:42:46,650
Yes, yes.

474
00:42:47,090 --> 00:42:49,110
And I've got a second.

475
00:42:50,810 --> 00:42:52,270
Any discussion on those addums?

476
00:42:52,370 --> 00:42:54,650
Do you have any questions or Mr. Good?

477
00:42:57,270 --> 00:42:58,870
All in favour, say aye.

478
00:42:59,390 --> 00:42:59,990
Any info?

479
00:43:00,830 --> 00:43:01,630
Yes, have it.

480
00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:03,590
And that completes the agenda.

481
00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:04,610
Thank you, sir.

482
00:43:05,130 --> 00:43:05,850
Thank you for the work.

483
00:43:06,130 --> 00:43:07,210
Yeah, we appreciate it.

484
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:14,210
This has been a little, and all I can say is I have a client who has two open audits that

485
00:43:16,010 --> 00:43:21,690
that's a local entity that has significantly higher exposure and I'm not looking forward

486
00:43:21,690 --> 00:43:28,910
to this having been any part of my career, but I happily will get this.

487
00:43:28,910 --> 00:43:30,350
I'll come back on this again.

488
00:43:31,630 --> 00:43:32,750
We'll be fine.

489
00:43:33,970 --> 00:43:35,410
It's a...

490
00:43:35,410 --> 00:43:36,950
You know, are we close with that?

491
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:42,070
Yes, we will close this meeting

492
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,820
of the ADC of Jeffrey County at

493
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,600
11.20 AM.

494
00:43:52,860 --> 00:43:53,540
We are adjourned.
