>> YEAH, YOU ARE GOOD. >> I AM KATHY WIMMER AND I REPRESENT THE NUECES COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION BUT I'M HERE IN A DIFFERENT CAPACITY HERE THIS MORNING. WE LOST A DEAR FRIEND LAST WEEK AND WE REMEMBERED HER WITH FUNERAL SERVICES AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DID NOT KNOW , ASHLEY CAROL PASSED AWAY . SHE WAS JUST TIRED.

SHE WAS A GRAND LITTLE LADY AND I HOPE THAT SHE MET GOD. AND THAT SHE WAS RUNNING ACROSS AN OPEN FIELD. SO, LET'S REMEMBER HER.

>> THANK YOU. >> ARLENE MEDRANO.

>> GOOD MORNING JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS. ARLENE MEDRANO .

WE HAVE HANDOUTS, WHO SHOULD WE HAND THOSE TWO ? THANK YOU SO

MUCH . >> CONGRATULATIONS, ARLENE .

>> THANK YOU . I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF . I AM ARLENE MEDRANO AND THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT DISTRICT . I CAME SO YOU CAN PUT A FACE TO A NAME AND WHAT WE HANDED OUT WAS OUR SERVICE PLAN FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AS WELL AS OUR IMPACT REPORT FOR THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR . WE WILL BE WORKING ON THE IMPACT REPORT FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR THIS FALL. I HOPE TO COME BEFORE YOU TO DO A PRESENTATION ON THAT. NUECES COUNTY HAS BEEN A LONG TOWN -- LONGTIME PARTNER SINCE ITS INCEPTION . AND YOU ARE PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT ZONE FOR DOWNTOWN AND YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION ALLIANCE. IN YOUR PACKET , YOU HAVE A REPORT FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR SPECIFICALLY FOR NUECES COUNTY. IF YOU FLIP TWO PAGES THERE , YOU WILL SEE A

[00:10:04]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS . SO, I HOPE TO COME BACK AS AN AGENDA ITEM TO DO A MORE THOROUGH PRESENTATION . AND, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT FOR DOWNTOWN. I HOPE YOU SEE THE RESULTS OF YOUR EFFORTS AND OUR EFFORTS FOR DOWNTOWN. AS THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, I PLAN TO

>> THERE BEING NONE -- >> HELLO? I'M SORRY .

>> >> OH, CHRISTOPHER?

>> CHRISTOPHER RIGGS AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> YOU CAN HAVE THREE MINUTES TO COMMENT OR ASK QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAD TO GET YOUR ATTENTION ONLINE HERE AND I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH WHOM . QUICKLY, I WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER RIGGS AND I'M WITH TRAGER RIGGS LAW FIRM HERE IN NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS. I AM TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY'S TO SAY HELLO. OUR FIRM SENT A LETTER TO THE COUNTY ON JUNE 17TH AND I UNDERSTAND THE COMMISSIONERS WILL BE TAKING UP OUR LETTER AND THE ISSUES THAT ARE LAID OUT THERE IN THE EXECUTIVE SECTION TODAY IN ITEM OR NON-C. SO, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHO I AM MEANT TO SAY HELLO. BASICALLY TO JUST LAY OUT QUICKLY THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A DEVELOPMENT CONCERN . WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS CAN BE RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY AND EASILY AND WE ARE HOPING FOR A LONG RELATIONSHIP WORKING WITH NUECES COUNTY. IT APPEARS THERE HAS BEEN CONFUSION WITH THE COUNTY ENGINEER'S OFFICE AS IT RELATES TO KIND OF A FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THE CITY OF CORPUS AND THE COUNTY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT ALLOWING THE CITY OF CORPUS FOR PLANNING WITH THE E TJ . ALSO AN UNFORTUNATE FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE CHAPTER 232 OF LOCAL TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE HAS BEEN UPDATED . THERE IS A PARTICULAR SECTION NOTED IN THE LETTER AT SECTION 232.0051 -F THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED . I BELIEVE WE ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY PLATTING REGULATIONS. SO, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THOSE ITEMS AND ALSO WISH YOU WELL AS YOU VIEW OUR LETTER AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO RESOLVING IT . THE URGENCY AND THE REASON I AM APPEARING VIA ZOOM IS MY CLIENTS HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES .

THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE BEING DENIED ADDRESSES AND OTHER PERMIT SEEING REQUIREMENTS AND ARE EXPERIENCING SOME DAMAGES . IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A TIME SENSITIVE MATTER THAT WE ARE HOPING TO RESOLVE . BUT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL .

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE THAT I MISSED OR CANNOT SEE ? IT DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TOP SO I DON'T SEE YOU. IF YOU ARE ON THERE, YOU WILL NEED TO SPEAK UP TO GET OUR ATTENTION. NO ONE IS DOING SO AND SO WE WILL MOVE ON.

I AM ALSO GOING TO -- BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I'M GOING TO PULL UP ITEM 3- 1-A. SOME PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING AND ONE WILL BE ON ZOOM . AND THERE WILL BE A PRESENTATION FROM OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS ON PLANS FOR NUECES COUNTY TO RESTRUCTURE COUNTY

[2. Discuss and consider amending the original Interlocal Agreement with the City of Corpus Christi for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #4 (TIRZ #4, North Beach) to amend the County's contribution percentage from 100% to 75% for years 11-20 and all related matters. ]

[1. Receive presentation from financial advisors, Estrada Hinojosa Investment Bankers, on a Plan of Finance for Nueces County to restructure certain County outstanding debt for savings and to issue 2025 Certificates of Obligation.]

>> THAT'S THE ONLY ONE I KNOW OF FOR SURE, I'M SO SORRY. WE WILL GO BACK TO 3-A-1 , NOW. I KNOW YOU ARE TRAVELING AND THANK YOU FOR BEING AVAILABLE AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD TRY TO GET YOU

OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE . >> THANK YOU JUDGE AND MEMBERS OF THE COURT FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME TO YOU VIA THIS MEANS.

BASICALLY IT IS WHAT IT IS . GIVING AN OVERVIEW OF THE COUNTY'S DEBT AND SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE. ALSO ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS SOME OF YOUR POTENTIAL NEEDS HERE IN THE FIELD FORESEEABLE FUTURE . IF YOU TURN THE PAGE HERE , WE WILL GET RIGHT TO THE MEAT OF IT . THE COUNTY, TODAY , HAS 11 DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF CREDITS OUTSTANDING .

THE COUNTY'S DEBT TODAY IS ABOUT $143 MILLION, PAID FROM 2025, THE CURRENT YEAR WE ARE IN ALL THE WAY UP TO 2041. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE GRAPH BELOW THE PAGE ON THE BARS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THING THEY KNOW, SAME PAGE. YEAH . BASICALLY THE BARS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT . 25 THROUGH 41 . IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE ARE PRETTY MUCH AT THE SAME PAYMENT LEVEL . HOVERING AROUND $16 MILLION IN CHANGE AND THEN IT DROPS THROUGH '28 THROUGH '30. AND THEN IT DROPS A LITTLE MORE. ALL OF THAT DEBT IS PLAYED BY YOU IMPOSING A TAX RATE THAT WE MAKE REFERENCE TO ON THE TOP RIGHT CALLED THE INS TAX RATE OF 3.94 CENTS. THE TAX RATE TODAY IS $26.55. OF THAT, $3.94 IS TO PAY THE ANNUAL PAYMENTS ON THE VARIOUS LOANS. RIGHT BELOW IT SHOWS YOU IN A SUMMARY FASHION WHAT THE VALUES OF THE COUNTY HAVE BEEN . BACK IN '22, YOU ARE AT $33 BILLION. TODAY IN '25, YOU ARE ABOUT 44 BILLION .

WE EXPECT THAT NEXT YEAR'S VALUES WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE $44 BILLION. AND, THE TAX LEVY WHICH IS COMPRISED OF THE ENTIRE TAX RATE OF 26 1/2 SINCE IS ABOUT $114 MILLION . SO, THAT IS WHAT YOU OPERATE YOUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND YOUR INS BUDGET AND YOUR FARM TO MARKET ROAD FUND . SO, THE RED LINE ON THE GRAPH BELOW SHOWS -- IF YOU WERE TO KEEP THE INS TAX RATE AT THE SAME LEVEL, THAT'S WHAT THE TAX LEVY WOULD DO . I THINK I HAVE MADE THIS PRESENTATION IN THE PAST. WHENEVER THE COUNTY SAYS, HOW CAN WE GET ADDITIONAL CAPACITY OR ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE OR ANY OTHER NEEDS , WE BASICALLY TRY TO STRUCTURE A LOAN BY FILLING THE CAPACITY FROM THE BAR WHICH IS THE BLUE AND THE GRAY THERE UP TO THE RED LINE . THAT IS WHAT GIVES US CAPACITY. RIGHT ABOVE THE RED LINE, THERE ARE THREE LOANS IN A QUADRANT WITH A ORANGE TYPE OF THE LINE. THOSE TODAY CARRY INTEREST RATES HIGHER THAN TODAY'S MARKET RATES. WE CONTEMPLATE IF YOU WERE TO COME TO THE MARKET THAT MAYBE THOSE THREE LOANS COULD BE REFINANCED FOR SAVINGS .

POTENTIALLY, USE THOSE SAVINGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DEBT

[00:20:02]

PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE SO YOU CAN HAVE CAPACITY IN YEARS TO COME .

OKAY, WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, NOW. THAT IS MORE LIKE THE NITTY-GRITTY NUMBERS THAT SUPPORT THAT. I MENTIONED TO YOU THAT THE PAYMENTS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $16 MILLION. IN '25, IT WAS 16,000,386. THAT IS THE COLUMN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. IN '27, IT DROPS TO $20,000,311. IT IS ABOUT $1,000,001. IF PROPERTY VALUES CONTINUE TO INCREASE AT THE 2 1/2% LEVEL, YOU KNOW, YOU WILL HAVE CAPACITY CONCEIVABLY IN '28 OR '27, FOR THAT MATTER OF ABOUT 15 MILLION TO $20 MILLION OF INITIAL CAPACITY . IF YOU GO TO THE THIRD COLUMN FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, YOU WILL SEE THE TAX RATE , BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH IS LIKELY TO DROP FROM 393 TO 374 , IF EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME . SO, THAT IS THE CURRENT CONDITION ON DEBT AND HOW THAT IS STRUCTURED . I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS OR

JUDGE. >> I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL .

>> YES. >> HOW MANY AT THE END OF THE DAY , THAT THE COURT WILL BE CONSIDERING TAKING ON ADDITIONAL DEBT FOR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND REPAIR WITHIN THE COUNTY, WHAT CAPACITY DO WE HAVE, NOW? IF WE WERE TO DO IT AS OF OCTOBER FIRST, HOW MUCH WOULD WE HAVE TO TAKE ON WITHOUT

INCREASING THE TAX RATE? >> WE THINK -- OF IN FACT IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE -- GOOD QUESTION. YOU KNOW, WE WERE GIVEN A TEST TO SEE , WHAT IF YOU WERE TO DO $25 MILLION? BASICALLY , IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIFTH COLUMN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE THE PRINCIPAL COLUMN, THE INTEREST COLUMN AND THEN SERVICE. RIGHT ABOVE THAT IN COLUMN E , YOU WILL SEE THAT IF WE WERE TO SELL BONDS TO SELL $25 MILLION , THE CURRENT INTEREST RATE SHOWN THERE IS ABOUT 463% . AND, WE THINK THE RATE MAY BE HIGH IN TODAY'S MARKET AND MORE LIKE 4 1/2. AND TODAY'S MARKET, EVEN LOWER THAN THAT . LET'S SAY TODAY IT IS 463 IN THE PAYMENTS WILL BE ABOUT 1,000,004 IN '26 AND 1,000,009 OUT TO '45. THE COLOR IN RED IS ORANGE AND IT ADDS UP TO ABOUT $26 MILLION . AND, BASICALLY THAT LOAN, BECAUSE IT IS SHORTER , IT DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 2045. HE GOES TO 2036 . THE RATE IS ABOUT 100 BASIS POINTS LOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS LOAN . RIGHT? BECAUSE OF THOSE LOANS BEING WHAT THEY ARE, WE THINK WE CAN SAVE YOU ABOUT 1 MILLION FOR OVER THE LIFE OF THOSE BONDS AND ABOUT 1 MILLION ONE IN TODAY'S DOLLARS.

TO DO THIS WHAT I GUESS I WILL CALL HYBRID FINANCING. WHERE YOU BRING IN ALL BONDS AND REFINANCE FOR STRUCTURE PURPOSES. THEN YOU BRING IN THE NEW LOAN, WE COULD DO ALL OF THAT AND KEEP THE TAX RATE THE SAME . ONE THING THAT IS HELPING YOU HEAR IS THAT VERY MUCH LIKE YOUR GENERAL FUND , THE INS FUND HAS A BALANCE -- IT HAS A CASH BALANCE OF ABOUT 4,000,007 . IF YOU SEE ON COLUMN H AT THE VERY BOTTOM, YOU WILL SEE THE INS FUND BALANCE .

>> THAT NUMBER , THAT IS YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT HAS BEEN ACCUMULATED THROUGH THE YEARS. THOSE FUNDS CAN ONLY BE USED SPECIFICALLY TO PAY DEBT. YOU CANNOT TRANSFER THOSE FUNDS INTO

[00:25:04]

THE ROAD FUND OR THE YELLOW FUND, IT HAS TO BE THE INS FUND . THERE, BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH MONEY THERE, WE ALSO ARE CONTEMPLATING PUTTING ABOUT A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN '26 AND '27 , IN THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO TO IMPACT THE TAX RATE DIRECTLY AND NOT HAVE TO RAISE IT . I THINK IT HAS BEEN AN INTEREST OF THIS COURT TO ENSURE WE WORK WITHIN OUR MEANS AND THIS IS THE STRUCTURE THAT WILL GET YOU THERE. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER CHESNEY .

>> THE FUND BALANCE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP BRINGS UP A FOLLOW

UP. >> YOU SAID A HALF MILLION DOLLARS OUT , WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR THE LONG-TERM? IS THAT STEALING FROM PETER TO PAY PAUL NOW? I HAVEN'T DONE THIS

IN A WHILE . >> EXCELLENT QUESTION, REALLY.

BECAUSE THE INS FUND BALANCE -- I'M SURE IT'S AN INVESTMENT EARNING ACCOUNTING YOUR BETWEEN 4% AND 5% IN TODAY'S MARKET RATES. SO, YOU ARE EARNING A LITTLE INTEREST AND TYPICALLY THE INS FUND BALANCE ON CREDIT LIKE YOURS WHICH I BELIEVE IS IN THE DOUBLE CATEGORY . YOU HAVE ABOUT 10% OF FUND BALANCE EQUAL TO YOUR ANNUAL PAYMENT . SO IF YOUR ANNUAL PAYMENT IS $70 MILLION , JUST TO ROUNDED UP, $1,000,007 IS WHAT YOU HAVE IN THERE . RIGHT NOW, WE ENJOY, YOU ENJOY A FUND BALANCE OF 30-32%, THEREABOUTS. BY ACCESSING THE FUND BALANCE, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE READY MUCH WITHIN MARKET EXPECTATIONS . SO, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO BUILD OUT FUND BALANCES LIKE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME TO TAP INTO THAT SO YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR ROW OR YOUR MORE IMPORTANT CONCERN WHICH IS TO KEEP THE TAX RATE AT THE LEVELS

YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO. >> BUT AFTER , I THINK YOU SAID TWO YEARS OF DOING THAT, THAT WILL FORCE US TO INCREASE THE

RATE LITERALLY? >> NO . GREAT QUESTION . IN THE SECOND COLUMN, J , IF YOU LOOK AT YEARS '27 AND '28, YOUR TAX RATE -- IF PROPERTY VALUES GROW AT THE CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS WE ARE SHOWING THERE, IT WILL ACTUALLY GO DOWN FROM '27 TO '28. SO, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CAPACITY . ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL BE DOING IN THE ORANGE COLUMN -- THE SAVINGS OF $130,000, WE ARE GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN ACCELERATE THOSE SAVINGS AND BRING THEM INTO MAYBE AS SOON AS '27 OR '28 SO WE CAN PROVIDE CAPACITY IN HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR, IN CASE SOMETHING WERE -- ELSE WERE TO COME IN TERMS OF NEEDS. TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER $15 MILLION OR $20 MILLION IN CAPACITY .

>> WHAT IS THE REASON FOR KEEPING THE FUND BALANCE HIGHER

THAN 10% OF THE PAYMENT ? >> THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. I THINK YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER THAT WE LIVE IN AN EXPOSED AREA WITH THE GULF . FROM TIME TO TIME, A TAXPAYER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY HIS TAX BILL . THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO US, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE A COUNTY EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS, YOU COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF PEOPLE NOT PAYING ON TIME. AND, AS YOU AND I KNOW, BOND PAYMENTS AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS COME EVERY SIX MONTHS AND SO YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THE MONEY. RIGHT? SO, WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO THERE IS PROVIDE A LITTLE CUSHION . YOU HAVE A PRETTY NICE CUSHION AND NOW YOU ARE USING IT , YOU COULD SAY, FOR FINANCIAL MODELING PURPOSES, IN A SMART WAY, I WOULD THINK , MORE EFFICIENTLY .

>> IT IS A RESERVE FUND FOR EMERGENCIES BASICALLY IF DEBTS CANNOT BE PAID BECAUSE OF SOME URGENT MATTER?

>> CORRECT, SIR . >> AND YOU SAY WE KEEP 10% IN THAT FUND BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE 40% AS I DO MY MATH REAL

[00:30:01]

QUICK. THAT MAY NOT BE RIGHT BUT YOU HAVE WAY MORE THAN 10% IN

THE RIVER -- RESERVE FUND . >> THAT'S CORRECT . ON THE THIRD COLUMN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AT THE VERY TOP, THERE IS A NUMBER OF 98% ASSUMED COLLECTION RATE . YOU ARE COLLECTING AT ABOUT 98%. I THINK WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN NOT LESS THAN 95 OR 96% OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. AS FAR AS TOTAL COLLECTIONS. BUT THAT COULD BE EXPOSED TO MAY BE LEVELS OF 88% OR 91%. OUR PAYMENT IT WITH THE BIGGEST PAYMENTS OF DEBT COME ON FEBRUARY 15TH OF EVERY YEAR . SO, AS YOU KNOW, WE SEND OUT TAX NOTICES ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER. SOME PEOPLE MAKE PAYMENTS AND NOVEMBER , JANUARY, OR FEBRUARY . THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. THEY COME IN AUGUST THROUGH SEPTEMBER, THEREABOUTS. SO, PEOPLE START USING THEIR RESERVES TO MAKE OTHER KINDS OF EXPENSES . SOMETIMES PROPERTY TAXES CAN BE SOMETHING THEY DEAL WITH AT THE TURN OF THE YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE A PAYMENT COMING UP AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PRETTY STRONG FUND BALANCE THERE . I DON'T THINK -- AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE I'M SHOWING YOU THESE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW, BY THE TIME WE ARE DONE WITH THIS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FORWARD, I DON'T THINK THE IMPACT WILL BE THAT SIGNIFICANT IN THE FUND BALANCE. BE THAT AS IT MAY, IN THE BIGGER PICTURE, WHICH YOU HAVE ALWAYS CARED ABOUT, IS KEEPING THE TAX RATE CONSTANT .

>> THANK YOU . >> YES, SIR.

>> WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE. SO, BASICALLY WITH REFERENCE TO PAGE 1, I THINK -- THE BONDS THAT WERE INSIDE THE ORANGE LINE. THESE ARE THE BONDS CONTEMPLATED HERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND COLUMN -- ACTUALLY -- YEAH, THE SECOND COLUMN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS IS AN EXISTING COUPON. COUPON IS AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST RATES FROM ONE BUSINESS TO ANOTHER BUSINESS . BACK IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN BONDS WERE SOLD, THEY HAD A LITTLE COUPON ATTACHED AND YOU WOULD CLIP THE COUPON AND TAKE IT YOUR BANK AND YOU GET PAID YOUR INTEREST PAYMENT. ALL THE COUPON MEANS IS EXISTING INTEREST RATE. SO WE HAVE BONDS SINCE 2015 . BONDS AT 5%, 4% , AND 5% . THEN THE 16S ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH AT 5% . WE WILL REPLACE THOSE BONDS WITH INTEREST RATES ON THE SECOND COLUMN FROM RIGHT TO LEFT . OF 283, 292 AND 3 1/4. FOR SOME OF YOU IN THE BANKING BUSINESS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. THIS ONE GIVES YOU THE BENEFIT WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN INTEREST RATES. IT GIVES YOU THE BENEFIT

. >> ONE OF THE THINGS IS WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE IRS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE OF THE LOANS -- WE ARE ALLOWED TO PAY OFF THOSE BONDS, TOO WAY TO CLOSE THOSE UNTIL ABOUT NOVEMBER 15TH. SO, IF YOU WERE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO BUILDINGS, WE WILL SELL THE BONDS IN AUGUST THROUGH SEPTEMBER AND GET YOU THE MONEY IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER IN SEPTEMBER. TO DO REFINANCING , WE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE THE DEALS A LITTLE LATER THAN THAT INTO NOVEMBER IN ORDER TO BE WITHIN IRS REGULATIONS. SO, THAT PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDES -- I DON'T KNOW IF THE NEXT PAGE TALKS ABOUT A TIMETABLE THERE WITH THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS. TODAY IS JULY 9TH AND THERE IS NO ACTION REQUIRED HERE . IT IS JUST FOR YOU TO A DIGEST WHAT WE ARE GIVING YOU AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO PUBLISH NOTICE OF INTENT AND WITH CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION . WE WILL DO THOSE

[00:35:05]

NOTICES ON THE 20TH AND 27TH AND THEN WE WILL SELL THE BONDS ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER THE NINTH. AND, YEAH .

>> CAN YOU HEAR ME ? >> YES, COMMISSIONER, HOW ARE

YOU DOING ? >> I'M DOING FINE.

>> YOU SAID THE FIRST TIME ON THE ORANGE SQUARE --

>> YES . >> YOU HAD TWO ACCOUNTS AND ONE WAS IN THE ORANGE. SO, THOSE ARE THE ONES TO REFINANCE ?

>> UMM HUMM. >> YOU SAID IT WAS $2 MILLION-$3

MILLION ? >> IF YOU GO TO THE PAGE STILL ON THE SCREEN, YOU WILL SEE THE ORANGE COLUMN. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COLUMN, YOU WILL SEE $1,000,004. THOSE ARE THE AGGREGATE SAVINGS THAT THE FINANCING COULD DO TODAY, WE THINK. WE SAY WE THINK BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE GET TO DO THIS FINANCING, IT WILL BE SEPTEMBER . RIGHT? RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN JULY . WE HAVE SEEN SWINGS OF INTEREST RATES GOING UP OR GOING DOWN BY AS MUCH AS 25 TO 40 BASIS POINTS HERE IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO, FOR THAT MATTER . WE ARE HOPING AND KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT RATES WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT ? IF THE DEAL WERE TO BE DONE TODAY YOU WOULD GET ABOUT 1.4 MILLION . SO I GUESS THAT WOULD BE 11 OR 12 YEARS AROUND '36.

IF YOU LOOK AT TODAY'S DOLLARS WE ARE ABOUT $1.1 MILLION. FOR $25 MILLION, YOU GET ABOUT $1 MILLION OF LESSER PAYMENTS. IF YOU ARE NOT TO DO THE REFUNDING, THEN THE INVESTOR, LITERALLY THE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT YOUR BONDS AND LOAN DUE THE MONEY ORIGINALLY ARE GETTING ABOUT $1 MILLION MORE IN INTEREST INCOME BECAUSE TODAY'S MARKETS ARE LOWER .

>> IT WOULD BE IN OUR INTEREST TO REFINANCE. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING RIGHT NOW IS WHATEVER WE HAVE, EVEN -- THE ONE SET OF BEEN ASSIGNED OR ALREADY ASSIGNED, RIGHT?

>> YEAH . >> FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN, YOU ARE SAYING DON'T TOUCH THOSE, JUST REFINANCE THOSE?

RIGHT? >> THAT'S RIGHT. IF YOU GO TO PAGE 2 AT THE SCREEN . RIGHT THERE. YEAH.

>> THOSE ARE YOUR LOANS. YOU'VE GOT LOANS IN 2015, TWICE. YOU'VE GOT $9,445,000 IN '25 IT CAN BE RECALLED. HOW CAN I SAY THIS? YOU PAID SOME BONDS THIS YEAR THE 9,000,040 $5000. THEN THE $13 MILLION FOR 2026. ANY OTHER BOND AND ANYTHING OVER THE 16S, 17TH, 18TH, 19TH THAT YOU SEE THERE . THEY HAVE CALL FEATURES AND THE CALL FEATURES ARE THE LAST COLUMN IN THE CAUGHT THINNING QUADRANT ON THE LEFT. THERE IS 2/15/28 ON THE '22 BONDS. YOU WRITE AS A BORROWER TO PAY OFF THOSE BONDS IN ADVANCE , BUT YOU CAN ONLY PAY THOSE BONDS IN ADVANCE . YOU CANNOT PAY ALL 41 UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY PENALTIES ON IT.

YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO PAY WITHOUT PENALTY AT $31,830,000.

SINCE WE SOLD THOSE BONDS, WE HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED AS TO WHEN WE CAN PAY OFF THOSE BONDS. SO, TODAY , THE MOST EFFICIENT BONDS WE CAN REFINANCE OR PAY OFF TO GIVE US SAVINGS WITH EVERYTHING REMAINING THE SAME ARE THE BONDS FROM '15 AND '16 .

[00:40:05]

>> SO IF WE REFINANCE THOSE LOANS FROM 2015, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WITH 2016 BEFORE WE START USING 2016 ? CAN

WE REFINANCE SOME OF THOSE ? >> YEAH, WE ARE DOING THE ' 16S TOO . WITH THE BOND ISSUES THAT WE ARE GOING TO REFINANCE. BY THE WAY, NONE OF THE BOND ISSUES WE ARE REFINANCING ARE WE EXTENDING MATURITIES. WE ONLY HAVE 11 OR 12 YEARS LEFT FROM BUYING THOSE AND WE GO OUT 20 YEARS AND WE PAY IN THE SAME LENGTH WHICH IS WHAT THIS COURT HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY PARTICULAR

ABOUT . >> I WOULD USE THE MONEY

SOMEWAYS AND YOU KNOW WHERE . >> THERE IS SOME OF IT THERE , BUT DON'T YOU THINK YOU COULD SPEND THAT MILLION DOLLARS ON

OTHER THINGS? >> I KNOW THAT.

>> ANYWAY , I THINK IT IS GREAT WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION . TO LOOK AT THE SAVINGS AND TO SPEND WHAT WE NEED.

>> I HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE JUDGE ON THIS, AT LEAST WITH TWO OR THREE BONDS, IF NOT MORE. I CANNOT THANK DATING OKAY, MS. CONSTANCE SANCHEZ , IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE HER THERE WITH THIS PROCESS . AND TERESA , IT HAS BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE HERE AND A LOT OF WORK.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK . >> YES, SIR .

>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE BEING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I KNOW YOU ARE TRAVELING TODAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WE WILL MOVE ON . UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY HAVE THREE MEMBERS UP HERE AND ONE NEEDS TO STEP OUT FOR A SECOND AND WE NEED TO TAKE A SHORT RECESS. LET'S TAKE FIVE MINUTES

THEY RENEWED? >> RIGHT .

WE HAVE HAD THE LEASE FOR SOME TIME AND IT WAS AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO SWITCH OUT THE UNITS. YES, I CAN JUST SEE IF THE ENTERPRISE FOLKS CAN STOP BY AND GIVE A REVIEW AND A UPDATE ON THE PROCESS.

THIS IS ALSO INCREASING THE BUDGET FOR VEHICLES. IT CAN'T BE

JUST THEM WANTING US TO . >> IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SOLD BACK AND THE OLD VEHICLE IS SOLD BACK, THAT VALUE IS RETURNED TO THE PROGRAM AND WE SEE COST SAVINGS THERE AS WELL .

PRESENTATION FIRST WHILE I GET A JOB FOR THAT ONE. THREE A NUMBER 84 ORTIZ PARK.

>> YEAH, JUDGE THANK YOU. THIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT UP WANTED TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY AN UPDATE ON THE WORK BEING PUT INTO IMPROVING ORTIZ PARK. WE KNOW IT IS A HIGHLY UTILIZED REGIONAL PARK THAT'S NOT ONLY USED BY PEOPLE FROM THE ROBSTOWN COMMUNITY BUT RURAL PARTS OF NUECES COUNTY AND INTO THE AREA SO THROUGH ARPA FUNDING WE HAVE ALLOCATED AND DESIGNATED I BELIEVE 1.5 , 1.5? $1.5 MILLION IN IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ORTIZ PARK. SO WE HAVE EDWARD HEAR OUR PARKS DIRECTOR WHO'S GOING TO GIVE US AN UPDATE BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE TOPIC SO WE WANTED TO USE THIS AS A SPRINGBOARD TO REMIND FOLKS THIS PROJECT IS IN THE WORKS. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DELAYS AND WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY AND HOW THE DELAYS COME UP BUT ASSURE YOU WE ARE WORKING ON THIS AND WE HAVE THE DUE DATE OF DECEMBER NEXT YEAR. SO MOVING

ALONG. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER THIS

[01:30:03]

IS A WONDERFUL PROJECT GOING TO ADDRESS A LOT OF NEEDS WITHIN THE PARK ITSELF AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. IT IS ORIGINAL PARK SERVING THE CAL ISLAND AND ROBSTOWN AREAS. THE FIELDS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY AND HEAVILY THERE. WITH THAT BEING SAID I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ROBERT GARCIA , HE IS THE ARCHITECT ON THE PROJECT AND HE CAN EXPLAIN WHERE WE ARE AT WITHIN THE

PROJECT. >> JUDGE SCOTT, COMMISSIONER'S THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME UPDATE YOU ON THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT. IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT PROJECT, THERE ARE A LOT OF PIECES NEEDED FOR THIS AREA AND WE'RE GOING TO BE WILL TO ADDRESS THEM WITH THIS. YOU SHOULD HAVE , TO RE-COLLECT ON THE ITEMS QUICKLY. THERE IS GOING TO BE A COVERED AREA. NEXT TO THE NEWER RESTROOM FACILITY THAT'S OUT THERE. THE OLDER RESTROOM FACILITIES ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN DOWN WITH THE SORT OF GAZEBO AREA IN PLACE STILL AND THOSE OLDER NONCOMPLIANT RESTROOMS WILL BE REPLACED WITH ADA COMPLIANT RESTROOMS. ALONG WITH THESE TWO PIECES THERE WILL BE CONNECTIONS OF SIDEWALK TO THE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE ADA COMPLIANT THAT WAY ANYBODY WHO GETS THERE THAT NEEDS FACILITIES AND NEEDS ACCESSIBILITY IT IS AVAILABLE. THE LAST COMPONENT IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WALKING PARK SORRY THE WALKING TRACK THE ONE-MILE WALKING TRACK, RENOVATION NOT RENOVATION A REPLACEMENT OF IT IN ORDER TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEEDS THAT IT CURRENTLY HAS RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S A QUICK OVERVIEW. IF WE GO TO THE NEXT, THE NEXT PART OF THIS, THIS HANDOUT THAT I PUT TOGETHER. THERE'S AN EXISTING PLAQUE ON THE GAZEBO ACTUALLY ON THE RESTROOMS THAT ARE BEING DEMOLISHED THAT ARE NO LONGER ADA COMPLIANT, THE PLAQUE ACTUALLY SAYS, I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR THE GAZEBO AT FIRST BUT IT SAYS ROBSTOWN COUNTY PARK SO IT WAS FOR THE PARK AS A WHOLE SO IT IS IMPORTANT WE PRESERVE IT AND THE GAZEBO BEING THERE, WE'RE GOING TO RELOCATE IT TO THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE THAT REMAINS AND WE WILL DIRECT THE CONTRACTOR TO REMOVE AND CAREFULLY REPLACE SO THAT IT IS STILL THERE FOR EVERYONE TO REFERENCE. AND THEN THE NEXT DOCUMENT IS SHOWING THE ITEM THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION FLAGGED THE PROJECT FOR FURTHER RESEARCH DUE TO IT BEING A HISTORICAL SITE, BEING A LABOR CAMP IN ROBSTOWN. THERE WAS REFINEMENT OF THE AREA THEY ARE LOOKING AT TO JUST STUDY THE PARTS THAT ARE BEING, THAT WOULD BE DISTURBED BY THE CONSTRUCTION. SO THESE ARE FOUR ACTUAL SHEETS. LET ME SEE RIGHT THERE. THESE ARE FOUR ACTUAL SHEETS FROM THE APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION SHOWING HISTORICAL MAPS, SHOWING THE PROBABILITY OF FINDING ANY ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARTIFACTS AND THEN SHOWING THE LOWER LEFT MEANING THE ACTUAL PLAN AND SITES AND PORTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REVIEWED. AND THEN THE LAST ONE BEING THE PAPERWORK INVOLVED IN THE FORM. SO THIS IS THE APPLICATION. SINCE THEN I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GO TO THE LAST PAGE TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE OUT, SINCE THE DOCUMENT WAS CREATED A PERMIT WAS ISSUED BY THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION TO BEGIN THIS INVESTIGATION. THE INVESTIGATION IS SCHEDULED AND IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON FRIDAY. FOR THE PORTIONS THAT YOU SEE INVESTIGATED, TO BEGIN.

SO THAT IS IN PROGRESS. WHAT IS ALSO IN PROGRESS IS A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING WAS CONDUCTED LAST WEEK WITH THE SUCCESSFUL CONTRACTOR GOING OVER THINGS, LAY DOWN YARDS, HOURS OF OPERATION, THINGS LIKE THAT. IT WAS A GOOD MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTOR HAS DONE SOME CONTRACTS WITH HER COUNTY AND WE ARE EXCITED TO START WORKING WITH THEM. RX DX IS THE CONTRACTOR. SO THE PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING THAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE NEXT STEPS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A FEW WEEKS OF REVIEW BY THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION SORRY THE

[01:35:02]

INVESTIGATION AND FINDINGS SENT BACK TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION, WE STILL HAVE THINGS WE CAN DO. WE ARE DOING PAPERWORK, I AM ASKING FOR A SCHEDULE OF VALUES TO REVIEW FOR THE PAY APPLICATION PURPOSES. WE ARE GETTING SUBMITTAL REVIEW FOR THE MATERIALS COMING IN. SHOP DRAWINGS FOR THE SHADE STRUCTURES, THINGS LIKE THAT WE CAN DO PRIOR TO PUTTING THE SHOVEL INTO THE GROUND SO THAT WAY WE CAN HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WHEN THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION STUDY IS COMPLETE.

AND THAT IS IT, THAT IS CURRENT NOW TODAY KNOWING THAT SOMETHINGS SHOW UP BUT WE CAN DO THINGS TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD PROJECT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS JUST LET ME KNOW. >> APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU ALL HAVE BEEN DOING. YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO UPDATE THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE HAS BEEN CONCERN, THERE'S A LOT OF USAGE , WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF USAGE IN THE ORIGINAL PARK SO THE NAME CHANGE WAS ONE OF THEM ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE YEARS AGO WE CHANGED THE NAME AND OF COURSE WE CHANGED THE NAME OF THE SENIOR CENTER TO HONOR THE LATE JUDGE AND NOW THESE CHANGES. WE KNOW LIGHTING HAS BEEN A CONCERN, THE FIELD CONDITIONS, WE KNOW THE TRACK IS HEAVILY USED AND SO WE HEAR YOU IN THE COMMUNITY WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN AND WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN. I AM REALLY ENCOURAGED BY THE PACE YOU ARE WORKING AT AND RESPONSE TIME. I WAS ALWAYS WORRIED HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO GET THIS IN PLACE SO I AM ENCOURAGED TO HEAR THAT IT WON'T BE DRAWN OUT BY MONTHS OR A YEAR BUT IT CAN BE DONE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THAT WILL BE MY MESSAGE GOING FORWARD TO THE COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS IN PRECINCT 3 SO I THANK THE COURT FOR ALLOWING ME TO ENTERTAIN THE ISSUE AND HELP EDUCATE CONSTITUENTS ON WHAT

WE'RE DOING FOR THEM. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> YES, THE ANTIQUITIES PERMIT IS IMPORTANT AND CHALLENGING.

[3. Discuss and consider job description revisions for the Medical Examiner and Director of Operations positions in the Medical Examiner department, and all related matters. ]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. MOVING ON TO THREE F THREE. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER JOB DESCRIPTION REVISIONS FOR THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND DIRECTOR OF OPPOSITION POSITIONS IN THE MEDICAL EXAMINER DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE BOTH OF THOSE THERE WITH SOME CLARIFICATION ON SUPERVISORY ROLES, THERE WAS CONCERN YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THOSE AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THOSE CHANGES. THERE IS ONE OTHER CHANGE AND THE MEDICAL EXAMINER JOB DESCRIPTION AND I JUST GOT A PRINT OUT ON THE PAY SCALE FOR THAT AND I THINK THE CLOSEST NUMBER WE CAN GET TO WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS SINCE THE MEDICAL EXAMINER IS ON A TOTAL DIFFERENT PAY SCALE IT WOULD BE PAY GROUP 03, TO POST TO CHANGE THAT ON THE DESCRIPTION FOR NOW. ON THE JOB DESCRIPTION WE CHANGE THE PAY GROUP TO THE PAY 03 AND IT HAS A B AND H. IS THAT WITH THE ADDITIONAL STUFF? OKAY SO.

>> YOU WANT TO APPROVE THE JOB DESCRIPTION CHANGES ON THE OPERATIONS FIRST AND THEN THE MEDICAL EXAMINER?

>> WE CAN, WE DO TWO SEPARATE THINGS.

DEPARTMENT. >> I WILL SECOND THAT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS CHANGE OR ACTUALLY HIS DID NOT REALLY CHANGE WE JUST TOOK IT OUT OF THE OTHER ONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES.

NOW TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER WERE TWO CHANGES. WE ARE, I THINK HE CAME BACK FOR A COUPLE THINGS AFTERWARDS BUT HE IS OUT WITH STUFF SO HE IS IN AND OUT. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD. BE OTHER THING IS MEDICAL EXAMINER JOB DESCRIPTION AND JOB PAY , WE ARE TAKING ON ONE LINE SHOWING IN YOUR PACKET WHEN WE WERE IN BOTH THINGS CAUSING CONFUSION AND THEN THE POSITION, THE BEST WE CAN COME TO WHAT WE TALK ABOUT FOR A FIRST-TIME PERSON COMING IN BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE STEPS WOULD BE THE PAY GROUP 03.

>> JUST 03? >> PAY GROUP 03.

>> FIRST LET ME MAKE A MOTION TO MAKE THE TECHNICAL CHANGE AS

[01:40:06]

PROPOSED AND LANGUAGE NOT INCLUDING PAY AT THIS MOMENT PROPOSED BY THE COUNTY JUDGE I WOULD MAKE THAT MOTION TO MAKE

THAT CHANGE. >> I WILL SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THE MOTION PASSES AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE THREE OF US HERE ANYWAY. THE SECOND MOTION IS TO POTENTIALLY AND I GUESS FOR CLARITY AND OPEN GOVERNMENT WE HAVE ASKED TO DO HR DIRECTOR TO GO AND SEE, TO CHECK ON THE PAY SCALE , TODAY'S TIME FOR MEDICAL EXAMINERS AS WELL, BUT IN THE MEANTIME WE KNOW WE WERE THE PREVIOUS COURTS AND CHALLENGED WHEN WE WERE LOOKING TO FILL THE POSITION AND DID IT WE WOULD LIKE TO GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN THE PAY SCALE SO WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE TO THE PAY GROUP 03 IS AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET AND THAT

IS 375. >> MOTION TO REDUCE CURRENT PAY
