A
C
C
I
think
for
laredo
and
you'll
you'll
see
that
in
the
details
that
I
provide
to
you
today
here
I
want
to
start
by
by
saying
that
you
know
this
has
come
before
you
for
consideration
and
and-
and
you
know
possible
recommendation
today-
I
have
with
me
and
this
particular
project
trevor
newhouse,
who
is
the
vice
president
of
operations
for
westpac,
and
he
briefly
introduced
himself
earlier.
But
if
you
want
to
say
hello
trevor.
E
Hi,
everyone
committee
again
I'll
just
do
a
quick
introduction
trevor
new
house,
westpac
avocado.
I
am
currently
the
vice
president
of
operations.
I
run
our
united
states,
our
mexico
and
our
south
america
distribution
and
packing
facilities,
I'm
also
doing
all
of
our
capex
in
terms
of
capital,
expenditures
and
growth
and
infrastructural
development.
E
I've
been
with
the
organization
now
for
21
years,
and
you
know
I
think
a
lot
of
people
see
the
explosion
in
avocados
and
we're
feeling
it
here
and
that
growth
is
emulating
across
you
know
both
the
european
markets,
the
the
asian
markets
and
specifically
in
the
united
states
and
all
of
those
markets
and
we're
excited.
We've
been
working
with
teclo
for
some
time
and
gene
and
we
really
like
the
way
that
laredo
operates.
You
guys
are
very
forthcoming.
You
guys
are
very
a
lot
of
everyone
that
I've
met.
C
B
B
I
call
them
board
members,
members
and
community
partners
and
friends
and
we're
going
to
find
that
as
we
go
through
the
slides
that
the
tecla
put
together
on
this
great
opportunity
for
this
great
company
that
we
started
working,
the
ledc
started
working
with
with
westpac
and
trevor
and
some
of
the
owners
several
site
visits
late
last
year,
great
interest
and-
and
it
was
a
pleasure
to
pass
this
opportunity
to
the
city
to
evaluate
some
some
tax
incentives
that
could
that
could
help
us
seal
the
deal.
Thank
you.
C
F
Thank
you,
teclo
and
good
to
see
so
many
friends
here
on
this
call.
Michael
gonzalez,
I
am
the
senior
director
for
external
affairs
for
laredo
college,
so
I
help
and
run
our
laredo
college
edc,
as
well
as
our
marketing
and
public
relations
groups,
where
I
serve
as
our
our
lead
and
pio,
and
then
we
also
run
the
martinez
fine
arts
center,
one
of
the
best
theater
buildings
we
have
here
in
laredo,
so
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this
team
and
to
helping
contribute
to
this
project.
F
C
Thank
you
michael
appreciate
it
getting
back
to
the
the
project,
everyone
we
believe
this
is
an
extraordinary
project
for
laredo,
it's
gonna.
It
will
create
investment,
jobs
and
opportunity
for
for
the
city
of
laredo
and
strategically
it
adheres
to
the
to
the
laredo
comp
plan
and
and
the
city
council's
directives,
which
call
for
expanding
opportunities
in
the
logistics
and
cold
storage
produce
areas
which,
which
is
exactly
what
we're
doing
here.
C
I
I
bring
this
before
you
because
we're
positioning
we're
proposing
entering
into
this
texas
chapter
380
agreement
with
westpac
today.
I
will
provide
you
with
the
details
of
that
agreement
and,
at
a
certain
point,
we'll
call
on
trevor
and
gene
and
michael
to
to
expound
on
on
some
of
these
certain
items.
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
this,
I
think
there's
arnold.
What
is
there
15
slides
or
something
like
that?
C
20
right,
no
20
something
we
had
some
last
ads.
We
apologize
for
that,
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
had
all
the
information
possible
on
here,
and
so
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
I'll
start
with
slide
one
here
and
arnold's
already.
Sharing
that
just
introduction,
here's
kind
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
today.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
recruitment
and
expansion
strategies
for
for
us
have
have
been
at
least
for
the
last
year
or
so
is
to
concentrate
especially
on
these
produce
and
cold
storage
markets.
We
have
a
lot
of
warehouse,
drive
warehousing
dry
dock
warehousing
and
distributions
here,
and
we
and
we're
very
pleased
to
have
every
have
every
one
of
those
here
and
we
look
for
more.
C
However,
we're
being
strategic
with
with
the
recruitment
and
expansion
of
local
companies
and
recruiting
those
to
come
to
laredo,
specifically
in
the
produce
and
cold
storage
industries,
because
they
provide
a
really
strong
investment
and
a
really
big
commitment
to
job
creation
that
that
usually
pays
a
little
more
than
than
regular
distribution
warehouses.
So
we're
committed
to
that
to
doing
that,
I
think
we've
done.
We've
done
a
good
job
here.
C
In
the
last
year,
we've
brought
in
mission
produce
and
we
were
able
to
to
keep
master
nardi,
and
I
know
gene's
done
a
lot
of
work
with
sunset
and
then
we've
also
worked
with
nature,
fresh
farms
from
canada
and
a
couple
of
others
to
expand
and
retain
them
here.
So
so
that's
been
good
for
us,
the
chapter
380
program.
C
B
The
the
investment
is
typically
in
rough
terms
about
twice
as
much
for
a
cold
storage
facility
versus
the
dry
warehouse
many
times
the
employment
is
twice
what
a
dry
warehouse
might
be
because
of
the
value.
Add
the
ripening,
the
inspection,
the
packaging
and
then
the
wages
seem
to
be
higher
than
average
too,
because
there
are
some
there's
some
expertise
that
that
the
companies
want
to
maintain.
They
don't
want
to
cycle
through.
B
C
C
C
Okay,
so
let's
pack
avocado,
let's
talk
about
them
for
a
minute
and
a
couple
of
slides
in
a
couple
of
slides,
I'll
I'll
I'll
lean
on
trevor
to
talk
more
about
the
facility
and
the
company.
But
as
gene
mentioned,
one
of
the
largest
privately
held
avocado
firms
in
the
country,
headquartered
in
southern
cal,
they
have
operations
in
u.s,
mexico,
chile
and
peru.
C
C
C
Tecla
yeah,
I
know
that
and
that
I
wanted
I
wanted
to
show
the
company
one
and
that's
not
the
right
one.
So,
let's
get
back
to
that,
let
me
see
if
arnold
can
find
it
while
we're
well
we'll
move
on
yeah.
You
do
have
a
lot
of
videos
you're
exactly
right.
We
want
to
get
back
to
the
powerpoint
arnold
and
share
that.
C
C
C
C
E
Sorry
about
that
yeah,
so
what
we
did
is
we
created
a
couple
of
years
ago.
You
know:
we've
we
had
several
conversations
with
large
key
accounts
like
kroger
and
costco
and
walmart
and
and
their
desire
to
understand
and
and
see
what
we
can
do
as
produce
suppliers
to
really
engage
to
the
consumer
on
a
sustainability
perspective
of
how
we
can
be
sustainable,
whether
that
be
packaging,
whether
that
be
our
process
improvement,
whether
that
be
our
recyclability.
E
Our
footprint,
in
terms
of
you,
know
what
we
do
and
how
we
do
it,
so
we
have
created
over
the
years
a
very
large
amount
of
sustainability
projects
and
there's
a
file
in
there.
I
believe
that's
the
link
to
it
is
our
entire
sustainability
plan
that
sustainability
plan
specifically
goes
over
our
primary
our
primary
position,
which
is
our
own
people
right
people
to
us
and
the
legacy
of
the
family
and
the
westpac
family
values
and
the
core
of
that
to
to
be
sustainable.
E
E
It
is
very
detailed
in
there
we
go
over
specifically
on
you
know
the
health
of
the
employees,
the
health
and
well-being,
the
fact
that
we
we
are
committed
to
supporting
the
zero
hunger
initiatives
and
some
of
the
major
food
distributing
programs
across
the
united
states.
We
also
are
looking
at
you
know,
utilizing
our
water
needs,
as
that
is
now
a
a
much
valued
resource.
E
E
How
can
we
reduce
poly
and
polypropylene
and
plastics
within
our
packaging,
and
that's
something
that
we
have
actually
developed
with
our
earth
bag,
which
is
a
fully
compostable
bag
and
then
obviously,
our
cultural
action
or
climate
action
to
to
how
we're
looking
at
the
earth
and
what
we
do
in
terms
of
avocados
and
the
people
and
the
packing
facilities?
And
how
that
how
we
can
you
know
magnetize
our
ability
to
to
be
helpful
and
not
and
not
be
destructive.
E
E
They
are
very
aggressive
everywhere
from
and
we'll
get
into
a
couple
slides
later,
where
we
have
led
certified
facilities,
all
the
way
to
the
facilities
being
recycled
material
and
then
all
the
way
to
solar
arrays
to
water,
recycle
and
treatment
plants.
And
you
know
that's
that
is,
I
think,
where
our
customers
are
going,
and
that
is
where
we
are
going
to
be
going,
and
I
think
for
us
to
be
ahead
of
sustainability
and
benchmark
ourselves
against
a
true
sustainability
organization.
E
It
has
a
lot
more
legs
than
what
a
lot
of
our
competition
is
doing,
because
we
are
base
landing
and
benchmarking
ourselves
against
what
other
countries
are
doing
and
what
other
industries
are
doing.
So
I
think
the
sustainability
feature
for
us
is
really
that
and
for
in
fair
trade
are
a
huge
huge
initiative
for
westpac,
not
only
a
couple
of
years
ago,
but
moving
forward
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
C
Well,
wow!
No
thank
you
trevor.
That's
I
mean
that's
really
important.
Obviously,
here
you
know,
100
of
the
avocados
coming
up
from
mexico
obviously
are
being
grown
in
facilities
and
put
together
facilities
in
mexico.
So
now
we
can.
We
can
see
why
this
is
so
important
to
you
guys.
Thank
you
for
for
sharing.
Arnold
next
slide,
please
so
again,
there's
a
for
those
of
you
who
want
to
go
look
there's
a
link
to
to
all
the
westpac
leadership.
C
C
That's
what
they're
committed
to
some
some
jobs
could
pay
up
to
65
000,
some
of
the
some
of
the
higher
end
supervisory
or
managing
positions
for
for
their
employees.
Westpac
offers
medical
dental
vision,
insurances,
time
off
retirement.
I
think
there's
some
profit
sharing
for
for
us
they
go
far
and
beyond
what
what
we
would
require,
even
in
the
proposed
380
guidelines
that
you
all
help
shape
to
vote,
for
they
go
way
beyond
that
again.
C
Westpac
also
is
committed
to
it
to
invest
in
the
in
the
community
organization,
something
we've
heard.
We
heard
loud
and
clear
from
trevor
and
westpac:
is
they
they
want
to
commit
to
local
organizations
and
be
able
to
invest
in
them?
So
he's
already
gotten
some
feedback
from
us
on
on.
You
know
what
would
align
with
their
with
their
corporate
mission
and
how
they
would
like
to
donate.
So
we've
we've
been
having
discussions
about
that.
E
Go
ahead,
john,
I
jogged
down
michael
gonzalez's
information
as
being
the
man
for
the
laredo
city
college,
so
yeah
we're
interested
in
that
big
time
I
mean
we
want
to
be
embedded
in
the
community.
We
want
to
physically,
you
know,
participate
in
community
events.
We
want
to
also
you
know,
donate
our
product
to
the
laredo
areas
in
the
event
that
we
have
you
know
any
issues
or
concerns
with
the
current
demographics.
You
know
whatever
support
that,
you
guys
need
from
us.
We
are.
E
E
F
And
trevor
I
just
want
to
make
mention.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Hopefully
here
at
laredo
college
and
and
in
all
of
those
ways.
We
also
like
avocados
too,
so
we're
excited
about
that
and
and
just
know
we're
committed
and
we'll
talk
about
that.
I'm
sure
in
just
a
few
minutes
and
and
know
that
you're
also
working
with
the
number
one
community
college
in
texas.
So
we're
really
excited
to
to
be
able
to
bring
that
to
the
forefront
yeah
there
you
go
declan.
C
C
So
this
is
all
part
of
the
of
our
negotiation.
For
for
the
in
the
380
agreement,
then
also
there's
going
to
be
an
undetermined
amount
of
seasonal
workers.
You
know
more
and
more,
it
seems
like
avocados
are
grown
year
round,
but
there's
definitely
peak
seasons
or
peak
points
in
that
year.
So
there'll
be
additional
workers
and
then
so
there'll
be
some
more
support.
E
Yeah
and
our
job,
our
job
tech,
we'll
just
add
a
few
notes
here,
go
ahead.
We
want
to
be
as
conservative
in
our
in
our
approach
to
you
guys
as
possible.
So
these
aren't
these
aren't
stretch
numbers
these
are.
These
are
all
very,
very
conservative
views
on
on
what
we
are
looking
to
do.
This
is
the
epicenter
and
it
will
be
considered
the
main
if
you
want
to
look
at
it
as
our
our
main
aircraft
carrier
for
landing
into
the
into
the
united
states.
C
E
Yeah,
so
that
we
will
be
using
this
as
a
showpiece,
it
will
have
all
of
our
sustainability
feature,
sets
in
it
as
well
as
all
of
our
latest.
Innovative
technology
will
also
have
a
lot
of
value.
Add
products
there
as
well,
which
doesn't
just
include
bagging
and
ripening.
It
also
includes
appeal
and
other
value-add
services
that
we
do
not
support
at
other
value-add
depots
that
we
do
have
so
this
is.
This
is
really
going
to
not
only
fulfill.
E
You
know
the
need
of
of
being
the
most
innovative
portion
of
our
business,
the
most
sustainable
portion
of
our
business
and
then
also
aesthetically,
the
most
aesthetically
pleasing
port
view
of
our
of
our
company
as
well.
So
it's
it's
you'll
see
with
some
of
the
design
work,
and
this
is
very,
very,
very
new
and
fresh
in
terms
of
of
our
design
and
we're
going
to
go
through
multiple
revisions.
But
you
can
see
that
we
are
going
more
cutting
edge
and
very
contemporary
modern
type
of
look
on
our.
C
E
Yeah,
this
is
all
comes
from
our
our
com,
comp
study
analysis.
We
do
understand
that
it
is
slightly
below,
but
our
expectation
is
that
the
the
the
level
of
personnel
that
we
will
be
bringing
on
board
fit
the
culture
and
fit
the
ethical.
You
know
values
of
the
of
the
organization
itself,
so
you
know
that
that
is
in
turn
why
we
are
paying
the
additional
premium
on
those.
C
Next
page,
arnold,
thank
you
hi
trevor,
so
I
want
to
turn
this
over
to
trevor
for
this
in
the
next
five
slides.
So
basically,
this
will
be
the
distribution
center
for
what
for
what
westpac
will
do
here
in
laredo.
This
is
just
this
is
the
inside
of
a
different
distribution
center
and
packing
center,
but
I
just
wanted
to
show
that,
for
you
know,
for
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
flavor
of
what
they're
doing,
but
then
the
subsequent
photos
are
exactly
what
trevor
wants
to
explain
next
slide.
E
Yeah,
so
that's
a
that's
a
conceptual
design
that
we
had
looked
at.
We
have
multiple
architects
working
on
this.
The
idea
is
to
obviously
behind.
If
you
look
behind
that,
you
can
see
some
insulated
panels,
you'll
see
in
future
slides
that
we're
going
away
from
that
and
looking
at
some
recyclable
materials
being
used
as
opposed
to
a
foam
and
steel
type
construction.
E
E
You
name
it
trader
joe's.
That
are
all
that
we
feed
all
of
our
volume
to
they'll,
be
at
this
facility,
looking
at
this
facility
and
being
in
the
city
of
moreto
and
obviously
meeting
with
other
ag
companies
as
they're
doing
so.
It's
important
for
us
is,
is
the
image
and
really
also
tying
in
the
image
to
our
core
values,
and
you
can
see
here
that
we're
looking
specifically
at
what
we
call
sprunk
structure
and
that
sprung
structure
has
a
considerable
amount
of
recycled
materials
within
its
construction.
E
E
Here's
some
here's
some
customers
that
they
already
have
now.
Many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
tesla
model
3
and
how
they
built
that
so
quick
that
was
with
sprung
structures.
The
spacex
facility
is
currently
with
sprung
structure
as
well.
Blue
origin,
which
is
the
competing
one
against
spacex,
is
also
a
sprung
structure
as
well.
The
us
government
grove
tech,
grove
tech-
I
I
you
should,
if
you're
ever
interested
in
some
really
high
level,
really
value-add,
really
innovative
type
of
growing
growth.
E
Tech
is
really
really
cool
and
I
mean
I'll
just
go
off
on
the
side
just
for
a
quick
second,
but
I
went
and
saw
their
facility
in
utah,
and
they
were
talking
to
some.
You
know
asian
investors
and
they
basically
said
hey.
You
know
we're
going
to
take
this
dilapidated
building
and
we're
going
to
use
this
new
technology
we're
going
to
basically
farm
rice
from
the
top
and
by
the
time
it
hits
the
bottom
it'll
be
in
a
bag.
E
So
I
mean
this:
is
you
know
very
innovative
things
using
existing
infrastructure
to
you
know
to
produce
a
finished
good,
and
you
can
see
here.
This
is
first
class
stuff
we're
not
cutting
any
corners.
We
do
not
believe
in
cutting
any
corners,
you'll
have
a
beautiful
facade
and
a
beautiful
facility
to
match
it,
and
that's
really
our
goal
to
set
ourselves
apart
in
the
not
just
in
the
laredo
market,
but
also
you
know
against.
E
C
G
Yes,
trevor.
Excuse
me
this
is
john.
I'm
with
ibc
bank.
I
saw
for
y'all
want
to
finance
the
project
locally.
I'm
a
I've
been
a
commercial
lender
for
30
years,
so
we'll
be
more
than
glad
to
meet
with
you
and
we're
very
involved
in
the
community,
not
only
in
the
local
level,
but
in
the
state
in
the
national
level.
E
Yeah,
that
is
a
conversation
I
had
with
gene,
and
I
had
with
teclo
was
what
are
the
banks
and
ibc,
I
know
was
one
of
them
that
was
recommended
to
us.
I
did
let
our
finance
team
that
we
need
to
look
for
alternate
community-based
resources
for
our
finance
options,
so
we
will
be
visiting
you
guys
for
sure.
B
C
And
that's
that's
really
extraordinary.
I
mean
you
all
know
this
and
and
I've
been
dealing
with
projects
and
in
the
valley
for
for
years
and
then
here
and
usually
when
a
company
comes
from
outside
to
your
community
they're
already
banked
with
with
you
know,
for
the
project
with
their
local
banker.
So
this
is
an
extraordinary
step,
especially
for
such
a
large
amount
for
the
for
the
firm
to
say,
hey
I
want
to.
C
Arnold,
so
the
the
chapter
380
program
is,
as
everyone
knows,
let's
just
move
on
to
this
we're
kind
of
running
a
little
bit
long
here,
so
I
apologize
but
but
the
chapter
380
of
the
local
government
code.
You
know
that
in
texas,
basically
statutes
authorize
the
cities
to
offer
incentives
based
to
promote
economic
development
such
as
commercial
and
retail
projects.
C
H
C
Be
happy
to
talk
about
about
a
little
bit
more
at
that
point,
but
that's
this
is
why
we're
dealing
with
the
380
on
on
this
particular.
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that
to
everyone.
Just
back
up,
arnold
one,
the
to
the
previous
slide,
please.
So
some
of
the
examples
that
y'all
are
well
aware
of-
but
I
wanted
to
just
mention-
is
mission
produce
and
medline
are
both
380
agreements
that
we
that
the
city
did
with
them.
C
Also
on
our
web
page
on
the
economic
development
homepage
at
the
city's
website
is
a
list
of
all
the
380s
that
we
have
that
are
active,
and
so
anyone
can
look
at
the
the
complete
document
legal
documents
for
those
380s
on
the
on
the
on
the
web
page
next
next
slider
the
city
of
laredo
proposal.
So
this
is
under
the
chapter
three.
As
I
mentioned,
we
competed
with
mcallen
for
this
particular
project.
The
westpac
has
signed
a
letter
of
intent
with
the
city
of
laredo.
F
So
we
are
committed-
and
we
are,
you
know,
really
excited
to
to
see
what
exactly,
within
our
offerings
or
or
outside
of
our
offerings,
that
we
can
procure
that
we
can
provide
for
westpac
and
we
look
forward
to
serving
those
needs
because
you
know.
Ultimately,
this
is
you
know
all
about
our
community
and
and
hopefully
with
westpac.
You
know
joining
our
community.
We
can
help
to
further,
not
only
their
business
but
their
employees
and
the
lives
of
everybody
in
the
community
through
our
contribution.
C
And
certainly
the
hiring
process
is
a
little
ways
off
I
mean
trevor
and
his
team
still
have
to
you
know,
build
a
building
and
and
fill
it
with
the
equipment
and
so
forth,
but
once
they
get
to
the
hiring
process.
I'm
sure
that
michael
and
trevor
and
your
team
will
have
conversations
about
what
exactly
is
needed.
What
certifications
you're
going
to
look
for
and
and
of
course,
la
real
college
works
very
quickly
trevor,
whether
they
can
or
whether
they
can't
they
still
work
fast,
and
we
learned
that
last
year,
michael
okay,.
E
E
We
we
welcome
that
and
we
want
our
employees,
our
our
fellow
loradians,
that
I
see
the
ch
I
was
chatting
with
with
myra
over
on
the
side,
but
our
goal
is
to
is
to
bring
in
local
talent.
You
know
we
that's
what
we
do.
We
build
talent
and
unfortunately,
sometimes
people
take
our
talent,
because
I
feel
like
we're
this.
I
feel
like
we're
like
the
san,
diego
padres
right,
so
much
dollars.
We
build
talent
and
then
the
guys
with
a
big
bankroll
come
pick
off
our
guys.
E
C
Thank
you
trevor
and
I
again
I'm
open
to
to
to
trips
to
colombia
as
well.
In
addition,
additionally,
to
your
comments
earlier,
the
padres
committed
to
manny
and
tatis,
and
so
I
think
I
think,
they're
becoming
trying
to
be
a
big
market
team
right,
so
moving
on
tamiu
will
establish
a
a
paid
insurance
program.
We've
had
conversations
with
dr
sears
at
tamiu.
C
A
C
Let's
go
ahead
and
take
them
now
I
can
take.
Let
me
just
finish
this
slide
and
then
I
can
take
the
questions
we
didn't.
We
did
not
abate
any
building
fees
or
personal
property
tax
in
this
particular
deal.
Just
so
just
to
let
you
know,
okay
next
slide
and
I'll,
take
whatever
questions
or
the
questions
can
be
asked
to
trevor,
or
even
so,
dominguez.
A
E
C
D
D
C
Julian
you're
only
stealing
mr
villarreal
thunder
that
was
his
whole
item,
the
next
item,
but
yeah,
okay,
no,
but
just
to
answer
that
question.
Well,
the
city
management
still
had
it.
We
had
a
conversation
about
it
last
week
and
they
they
had
a
couple
of
questions
for
me
and
I
haven't
heard
back
from
them
since
to
be
honest
with
you,
but
I'll
leave
it
to
the
next
item.
C
It
but
no
that's
the
answer
right.
There
it'll
move
to
the
city
council,
probably
in
the
next
month
as
my
guess,
but
I'm
I'm
kind
of
waiting
to
get
feedback
from
city
management,
okay,
so,
on
the
rebound
rebate,
program
based
on
the
18
million
dollar
improvement
and
our
tax
rate,
this
is
what
the
rebate
would
be
to
the
to
the
firm
per
year.
Remember.
C
This
is
all
estimated
based
on
appraisals,
your
current
appraisals,
if
taxes
would
go
up
or
down
or
if,
if
the
facility
is
appraised
at
17
and
not
18
or
19
instead
of
18,
there
will
be
a
slight
difference
in
these
rebates.
But
this
is
the
best
that
the
most
accurate
that
we
can
provide
you
as
an
estimate:
114
100
the
first
year
75,
the
next
four
years
and
then
60
percent
the
last
two
years
for
a
total
of
593
or
right
around
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
next
slide.
C
So
the
impact
for
laredo
and
the
community
would
be
for
the
city,
even
even
with
the
city
of
laredo,
even
during
the
seven
year
rebate
period
would
still
be
able
to
receive
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
revenue.
As
you
can
see
to
your
left
on
the
first
line-
let's
just
say,
for
example,
the
next
seven
years
after
the
agreement
is
finished
and
going
by
current
appraisals
and
tax
rates.
Right
now,
the
city
would
receive
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
right,
that's
without
without
the
without
a
a
380
in
place.
C
But
I
did
this
estimates
on
very
conservative
number
of
50
trucks
per
week,
just
to
show
you
that,
even
at
50,
the
revenue
at
our
bridges
with
that
kind
of
number
can
be
significant,
and
you
know
I
want
to
take
in
place
any
sort
of
acts
of
god
or
bridge
closings
or
or
a
low
season
anyway.
Either
way
you
slice
it
for
us,
it
would
be
for
on
50
trucks
a
week
about
400
000
for
that
seven
year
period,
and
then
the
next
seven
years
would
also
be
about
seven.
E
C
C
All
right
so
so
keep
that
in
mind
with
that
number
in
terms
of
revenue
for
the
city.
Even
if
you
just
add
you
know
these
number
ups,
it's
very
significant
compared
to
the
rebate
that
the
company
is
getting
in
addition
to
their
investment
in
personnel
and
and
payroll
and
so
forth.
Now
for
the
community
everyone.
I
think
I
want
to
bring
this
to
your
attention,
because
you
know
often
we
will
recruit
a
company
in
and
we
will
never
hear
from
the
school
district
or
another
government
entity.
C
These
you
know
tend
to
lift
all
the
boats
up.
If
you
will
next
slide
so
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
just
wrap
it
up
here
by
by
just
mentioning
sort
of
a
by
the
numbers
kind
of
a
thing
again.
This
is
about
an
18
million
dollar
project
about
125
minimum
job
number,
there's
about
a
one
million
dollar
ad
of
valorum
revenue
for
the
city
over
a
14-year
period.
C
There's
about
well
about
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
the
rebate
to
the
company
there's
going
to
be
the
payroll
between
1.7
or
up
to
4.2
on
a
conservative
scale
from
years
one
to
year.
Five!
That's
about
13
million
dollars
total
for
that
seven
year
period
by
26
or
more
with
the
14th
period.
It'll
be
it'll,
be
higher
than
that
and
then,
as
trevor
said
about
400
000
bridge
revenue
for
the
first
seven
years
and
800
for
14.
C
That's
likely
double
that
amount,
but
I
just
didn't
want
to.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
correct
on
that.
So
so
you
can
see
where,
where
the
amount
of
of
rebate
that
the
that
the
firm
is
getting
they're,
providing
and
generating
a
lot
more
revenue
than
what
they're
getting
back
and
that's
part
of
their
investment
in
this
community.
C
So
that's
it
in
terms
of
of
information.
You
know
numbers
we
want
to
project.
I
can
go
back
to
any
site
that
you
like
right
now
and
further
explain
and
certainly
have
the
experts
here
as
well
to
you
know,
to
expound
on
anything,
but
I,
but
I'm
really
excited
about.
I
think
this
is
an
extraordinary
project
for
us
and
one
that
we're
really
proud
to
bring
to
you.
Mr.
I
I
mean
this.
You
know
the
the
this
380
agreement
facilitates
a
a
return
on
investment
to
the
to
the
city,
that
has
you
know
short-term
midterm
and
long-term
payout,
and
so
that
being
said,
I
make
I
make
a
motion
that
we
endorse
this
project
and
and
that
we
recommend
that
city
council
approve
it
and
that's
one
motion.
There
is.
C
C
A
I
just
want
to
get
behind
mr
alcohol's
comments.
Thank
you
so
much
trevor
for
wanting
to
come
and
invest
in
our
city,
your
local
outreach,
using
local
banks,
bringing
125
jobs
and
putting
the
minimum
wage
of
15
an
hour
is
going
to
be
of
huge
benefit
to
our
whole
community.
So
we'll
go
for
the
call
all
those
in
favor.
A
E
Yeah,
well,
we
have
a
combination
of
trucks
crossing
through
mcallen.
We
do
have.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
familiar
with
the
santos
family.
We've
been
doing
business
with
them
for
about
30
years
and
we
do
a
lot
of
customs
and
usda
work
with
them
right
now
and
we're
primarily
crossing
through
mcallen
and
partially
through
laredo.
Now
we
would
like,
like
I
said,
to
make
laredo
our
our
home,
so
I'm
definitely.
C
That's
something
that
trevor
and
I
discussed
earlier
today
and
given
the
the
the
committee's
endorsement
here,
we'll
we
will
have
to
draw
up
the
the
legal
pact
to
get
it
to
from
our
legal
folks
to
his
legal
folks
and
then,
after
the
after
all
the
back
and
forth,
and
the
city
management
endorsement,
it
will
go
to
the
city
council.
How
fast
that
will
be
just
depends
just
depends
how
fast
lawyers
work.
Mr.
A
Perfect
well,
thank
you
once
again
for
for
everyone
in
this
partnership.
Thank
you.
Gene
michael
trevor,
mr
garcia,
and
your
whole
team.
We'll
continue
with
our
next
agenda
item
5b
discussion
and
possible
action
regarding
the
creation
of
tours
and
tourist
guidelines
for
any
future
development
regarding
port
facilities,
which
was
made
by
julian
ratnovsky.
Mr
ranowski.
The
floor
is
yours.
C
D
Sorry
I
had
to
step
away.
My
dog
was
playing
with
something
really
loud,
so
so
I
brought
this
item
up
because
of
a
lot
of
the
discussion
that
was,
that
has
been
going
around
teresa's
and
laredo
and
how
everyone's
really
excited
to
not
only
do
one
but
but
but
multiple,
and
I
guess
I'll
start
it
up
by
just
asking
the
basic
question:
has
city
staff
taken
any
path
into
creating
guidelines
and
criteria
for
terms
when
it
comes
to
churches,
that
target
trade
and
import
export
and
warehousing.
C
D
Okay,
I
looked
at
a
lot
of
other
cities
and
I
know
I've
sent
you
some
examples
of
some
good
examples
that,
at
least
on
tours
is
very
broadly
for
those
cities.
But
I
guess
my
question
is
that
glo
do
you?
Do
you
not
think
that
it
would
be
advantageous
and
almost
allow
a
lot
of
these
terses
to
run
a
little
more
smoothly
when
it
comes
to
approval?
C
Yeah,
I
would
definitely
be
in
favor
of
having
some
guidelines.
You
know
a
lot
of
other
cities
have
some
some
don't,
but
I
can
see
the
value
of
having
them,
but
I
I
would
only
recommend
that
they
be
broad
enough
for
all
tourist
projects,
not
just
for
port
facilities,
because
you
know
the
ones
that
I've
seen
in
other
cities
cover
the
whole
gamut,
but
but
just
just
remember
that
that
each
ters,
regardless
of
the
guidelines
which
I
think
are
important,
still
are
treated
individually
and
separately,
because
some
can
be.
C
You
know
like
the
downtown
tours
that
we
have
right.
It's
a
hundred
percent.
You
know
participation
initiated
by
the
city.
There
could
be
others
initiated
by
developers.
It
could
be
residential.
There
could
be
commercial
retail,
it
could
be
one
project
like
a
like
a
big.
You
know
race
track
like
I
have
in
austin
I
mean
there
are
several
iterations
of
them
and
you
have
to
treat
them
differently,
but
guidelines
would
work.
I
agree
with
that.
D
The
reason
I
asked
that,
though,
and
I
do
feel
they're
a
little
different-
is
charges-
have
pretty
much
two
predominant
uses,
the
most
traditional
being
the
use
for
reinvesting
in
blighted
areas
where
those
churches
are
put
in
place,
the
other
one
being
at
least
from
the
examples
that
I've
seen
around
texas
is
to
create.
You
know:
affordable
housing,
a
lot
of
the
time
to
lower
that
cost
to
the
developer,
in
order
to
make
sure
that
either
the
development,
the
way
it's
being
laid
out
is,
is
beneficial
to
the
city.
D
You
know
a
grid
system
versus
a
you
know:
suburban
winding
roads,
the
dead
end
bring
a
lot
more
cost
to
cities,
typically
than
what
a
grid
neighborhood
would.
But
I
think
this
this
whole
idea
when
it
comes
to
our
biggest
industry
being
the
port.
It's
a
little.
It's
a
little
hard
to
measure
what
what
the
what
the
overarching
goal
is,
and
when
we
do
these
contracts,
I
think
we
need
to
define
them.
D
I
I
You
know
that
that
is
the
city's
bread
and
butter
that
stuff
sells
to
mix
my
metaphors
like
hot
cakes
all
day
every
day
I
mean
there's
at
least
a
million
acre
death.
I'm
sorry
million
square
foot
deficit
in
in
warehouse
spaces.
You
know
you
know
you.
Could
you
know
you
build
a
warehouse
today?
It
will,
you
know,
it'll,
be
an
overnight
instant
success
and
so
obviously
cold
storage.
I
You
know
that's
a
little
bit
more
boutique,
it's
a
an
area,
a
competitive
area
with
other
border
communities
whose
market
share
you
know
we
want
to
either
capitalize
upon
or
or
build
out
here
locally
and
so
coming
back
to
this,
you
know
using
the
majestic
as
a
as
a
example
which,
by
the
way,
our
recommendations
were
not
adopted.
So
that's
an
issue
you
know,
council
did
not.
I
Council
did
not
adopt
our
recommendations,
as
I
understood
it,
which
kind
of
does
beg
the
question.
Then
you
know
what
are
we
really
doing
here
I
mean:
are
we,
like?
You
know
patio
furniture
for
you
know,
council
to
sit
on.
I
mean
I'm
looking
around
the
the
different
faces
on
this
cisco
webex
meeting
and
I
I
see
a
lot
of
talented
individuals
and
who
are
giving
freely
of
their
time
and
expertise,
and
you
would
think
that
that
would
count
for
something.
I
You
know
at
a
more
competitive
amount
per
acre,
and
I
said
mary
I
mean
you
know
I
I
haven't
heard
of
that.
I
haven't
seen
that
you
know
any
intimations
of
it
being
committed
to
writing
by
the
way
I've
we've
all
asked
teclo
and
this
isn't
directed
at
you,
tech
law.
I
know
you're,
you're
being
you
know,
managed
by
management,
but
you
know:
we've
asked
decla,
hey
so
get
us
the
municap
data.
Get
us
the
you
know
the
information,
the
raw
data
and
metadata,
so
we
can.
I
George
for
a
second
I'm
sorry!
Well
let
me
unfreeze
myself
here,
so
we
then
you
know,
didn't
get
the
information
from
from
staff.
So
naturally
I
filed
an
open
records
request
and-
and
it's
all
public
information
that
public
you
know
that
open
records
request
has
now
gone
off
to
the
attorney
general's
office
for
an
opinion,
so
we
won't
get
that
for
60
to
90
days,
but
you
know
it's
in
you
know
by
by
context.
You
know
when
we
had
the
negotiations
with
the
killams
on
the
coves
project.
I
That
was
done
in
a
very
transparent
way.
In
a
very
a
lot
of
detail.
The
public
knew
exactly
what
the
city
stood
to
lose
or
gain,
or
otherwise
by
you
know
what
you
know:
numeric
values
were
involved,
and
here
you
know
we're
kind
of
flying
blind.
We
gave
our
recommendation
on
the
to
approve
the
majestic
project
with
some.
You
know,
keep
it
fair
measures.
I
D
Can
I
do
a
point
of
clarification
if
I
could
just
clarify
something,
I
don't
think
council
discarded
our
recommendation.
It
was
staff
that
came
in
and
actually
said
that
it
cannot
be
included
in
the
creation
of
the
tours,
but
it
can
be
included
in
the
developer
agreement
so
just
to
clarify
that
that's.
J
D
I
Well,
that's
great
news,
and-
and
we
would
certainly
hope
that
it
would
be
incorporated
into
the
developer
agreement,
because,
if
not
you
know
it's
we're
not
creating
a
fair
playing
field.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
would
be
creating
an
unfair
competitive
advantage.
I
mean
how
nice
would
that
be
right?
Half
your
streets,
half
your
drainage!
I
C
D
That
mean,
if
you
have
a
warehouse
of
50
000
square
feet,
moving
from
an
obsolete
area
into
a
new
one
for
a
less
rent
or
sorry
not
obsolete,
but
for
a
newer
warehouse
for
less
rent
that
that,
wouldn't,
at
least
in
my
professional
opinion,
not
be
considered
economic
development,
especially
if
that
area
then
starts
to
lose
more
and
more
tenants.
Therefore,
causing
values
to
go
down
or
or
even
and
I'm
a
real
estate
broker.
I
I
H
I
I
have
a
comment:
if
you
all
want
to
hear
it
right
now.
We
have
such
a
shortage
that,
even
if
you
have
a
shift
of
of
current
lessors
going
over
there,
we
have
a
waiting
list
of
people
that
are
looking
for
warehouses.
The
problem
is
that
our
current
industrial
sites
don't
having
them
any
more
land
to
build
on.
You
can
drive
in
some
of
these
industrial
parks
and
you'll
see
some
land,
but
the
owners
don't
want
to
let
go
of
it
they're.
H
H
We
we
committed
to
lease
them,
so
this
will
open
up
an
area
that
that
those
that
have
land
that
can
open
up
right
now
and
are
dragging
their
feet
maybe
and
it
and
it
turns-
is
that
the
the
tours
when
you
look
at
it
it's
to
open
up
areas
that
that
that
are
having
problems.
Well,
we
are
having
a
problem.
The
problem
is
that
those
that
are
close
by
aren't,
building
and
they're
not
and
they're,
not
developing
their
land.
So
we're
we're
landlocked.
H
We
have
a
golden
handcuffs
on
us.
So
if
we
open
up
something
like
that
over
at
at
the
unitec
unit
trade
area,
all
of
a
sudden,
those
people
that
are
closer
to
home
are
going
to
might
open
up
their
eyes
and
say,
oh
well.
Maybe
we
should
release
a
few
more
acres
for
development.
That'll
that'll
hurt,
of
course,
majestic,
but
at
least
it'll
open
up
certain
areas
down
here
it
it.
It
might
poke
him
in
the
rear.
I
So
so
then
what
happens?
When
you
know
the
hachar
family
trust
decides
that
you
know
they've
got
five
thousand
acres
of
of
of
raw
land
that,
because
there's
such
a
deficit
would
sell
like
hotcakes,
but
now
they're
like
hey.
Well,
look,
you
know
majestic
got
this
really
great
deal,
even
though
we
can
make
the
numbers
work
without
occurs.
H
I
I
That's
in
the
middle
of
the
of
the
epicenter
of
the
port.
It's
going
to
do
really
really
really
well.
So
why
would
you
incentivize
something
that's
going
to
do
really
really?
Well,
it's
like
leaving
money
on
the
table.
You
know
if
they
were
saying:
hey,
we're,
gonna
delay
it
or
we
wouldn't
do
it.
But
four
right!
That's
the
question!
Would
you
proceed
with
this
development?
I
You
know,
but
for
you
know
the
the
the
deters
right
and
if
we,
if
we
can
get
to
that
question
and
they
can
through
data,
show
that
hey
this
project
will
will
get
started
sooner
rather
than
later.
If
it's
incentivized
okay!
Well
now
we
have
the
starting
point
of
a
conversation,
otherwise
we're
just
leaving
money
on
the
table,
which
is
the
the
act
of
amateurs.
C
H
That
we're
leaving
we're
not
even
getting
the
money
to
the
table
because
when,
when
they,
when
we
and
I'm
talking
to
you
as
a
realtor
and
and
julian,
you
can
attest
to
this,
but
we
get
phone
calls
asking
for
half
a
million
square
feet
and
we
tell
them
there's
none.
We
don't
have
any.
So
what
do
they
do?
H
They
look
at
other
communities
along
the
border
and
they
wind
up
over
there
if
we
can
open
the
doors
up
and
it's
just
like
this
avocado
plant
coming
in
okay,
we
give
them
some
incentives,
they're
leaving
the
valley
to
come
over
here
and
like
mcdonald's
when
they
set
up
shop.
Guess
what
wendy's
and
everything
else
comes
around
alongside
them.
H
If
we
can
give
these
people
an
incentive
to
start
development
right
away,
then
it'll
open
up
doors
for
for
for
us
to
have
more
warehousing
so
that
the
people
that
we
are
turning
away
and
we
are
turning
people
away.
They'll
now
we'll
have
some
square
footage
for
them
to
actually
come
in
and
and
and
we're
not
helping
we're.
By
not
doing
this
we're
helping
other
communities
grow
and
that's
going
to
spur
competition.
A
D
We
have
two
problems
and
it's
funny
that
this
produce
thing
was
brought
up
today,
because
I
think
that's
the
secondary
problem,
one
we
don't
have
enough,
we
don't
have
enough
warehousing
and
I'm
going
to
bring
it
back
rafa.
Don't
worry
about
that
at
the
end
of
this
we
don't
have
enough
warehousing
one
and
two.
Our
warehousing
cost
is
actually
really
high
partially
because
most
of
the
product
that
moves
through
laredo
is
high
cost
goods.
D
Therefore
they
can
pay
the
rents
for
these
areas
reason
we
don't
have
produce,
isn't
because
people
don't
choose
to
be
here,
it's
they're
priced
out
of
the
market,
so
we
have
to
do
chapter
380s
to
get
them
into
the
market.
You
know
it
all
starts
with
the
cost
of
doing
business
in
laredo.
So
I
agree
with
merck's
perspective.
D
I
I
I
do
think
that
we
can
that
we
voted
last
time,
and
I
still
agree
to
this
to
this
point.
I
do
think
the
tours
in
order
to
incentivize
industrial
development
laredo
would
ultimately
benefit
laredo,
so
we
can
truly
start
competing
against
these
more
used
to
be
obsolete
areas,
but
they're
trying
to
take
our
cake
right
now.
You
know
macaulay
and
apostle
all
those
areas.
D
D
We
wouldn't
have
to
be
approving
every
tourist
deal
that
possibly
comes
here,
because
we
would
already
have
you
know
those
rails
already
in
place
that
pretty
much
has
not
only
the
city
council,
but
economic
development
advisory
committees,
guidance
already
baked
into
it.
Therefore,
city
staff
can
can
move
forward
within
those
guidelines,
so
I'll
leave
it
up
for
further
discussion.
I
already
have
a
motion,
but
I
do
want
to
hear
anyone
else's,
like
I
said,
opinions
or
or
anything
they'd
like
to
bring
up
regarding
this.
D
C
D
D
Any
port
facilities
or-
and
I
also
mentioned
trzs-
which
can
be
used
for
funding
roads
so
which
I
think
is
extremely
important,
because
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
was
brought
up
of
concern
with
the
majestic
terrors
is
the
access.
So
I
think
both
of
those
things
need
to
be
considered
as
we
developed
these
people.
C
Mr
garcia,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
would
certainly
respect
what
the
the
committee
would
would
want
to
advise
the
council
on.
I
just
wanted
to
just
a
minute
to
say
that
that
I
think
that
that
the
policy
should
be
drawn
up
for
for
all
terrorists.
I
don't
know
of
any
city,
that's
dividing
up
different
tourist
policies
for
different
things,
but,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
every
every
tours
application
or
project
has
to
be
looked
at
differently
anyway,
for
instance.
Currently
we
have
a.
C
We
have
a
turret
that
we're
considering
that's
a
residential
development
right
now,
that's
been
under
work
for
some
time,
but
we've
been
negotiating
the
last
several
months.
So
if
we
develop
a
policy,
for
instance,
it
wouldn't
apply
to
that
residential
area.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
quite
understand
that
so
I'd
be
in
disagreement
with
that.
That's
that's
just
my
two
cents.
I
Yeah
so
then,
so,
then,
then,
might
we
then
amend
the
motion
to
also
include
a
ters,
a
separate
tourist
policy
for
residential
commercial
type
developments,
so
that
we're
so
that
in
fact,
we
are
incentivizing
those
principles
within
the
comp
plan
that
say:
hey,
look,
less
suburban
sprawl,
more
multi-use,
more
urban
density,
more
walkability,
which
are
which
are
principles
that
aren't
necessarily
needed
in
a
industrial
port
related
tours.
So
your
points
are
well
taken,
mr
garcia.
A
I
D
D
G
J
A
C
That's
correct,
that's
correct.
Just
one
of
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
regarding
the
terms
is,
I
think,
there's
a
lack
of
understanding
on
turds
as
in
some
areas
and,
for
instance,
we're
dealing
with
the
tours
right
now.
That's
residential
and
one
would
say
that
why
would
we
be
helping
a
a
residential
development
when,
when
homes
are
at
such
a
premium,
as
mr
alcott
has
just
mentioned,
then
would
that
disqualify
them
for?
C
We're
not
going
to
see
you
know,
I
got
the
floor
for
a
second
if
you
will
and
that
development
is
very
important.
That's
why
we
want
to
work
with
them
to
try
to
finish
that
out:
they're,
a
very
important
developer
and
a
very
important
project
to
laredo,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
make
that
work.
Mr
chairman
I'll
bring
that
to
you
by
the
way.
I
Yes,
so
now
yeah
we
must,
we
must
clearly
be
talking
past
each
other.
This
is
the
motions
that
were
that
were
made,
especially
the
one
with
regard
to
a
residential
commercial
development
is
so
that
we're
incentivizing
the
right
type
of
growth,
we're
not
in
other
words,
so
that
we're
not
incentivizing
suburban
sprawl.
I
It
has
everything
to
do
with
joe
minokosi's
presentation
that
he
made
to
us
about
the
city
of
leander.
I
think
you
were
there
for
that.
If
you
weren't,
please
do
go
watch
it.
It's
critical
that
you
understand
that
when,
when
neighborhoods
go
vertical,
when
developments
go
vertical,
so
does
the
tax
base
and
so
does
the
return
of
investment
to
the
city.
I
A
Perfect,
I
will
say
this
as
we
move
on
to
our
next
item.
These
are
recommendations
given
to
council
and
council,
adopt
them
as
is
or
they
can
tailor
them
according
accordingly,
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
5c
discussion
with
possible
action
on
the
creation
of
a
small
business
recognition
campaign
with
public
information,
office
and
feedback.
A
So
being
able
to
to
go
out
and
get
distracted
for
a
minute
did
create
a
huge
difference
to
the
city
of
laredo.
So
I
want
to
make
a
motion
to
advise
counsel
and
create
a
small
business
recognition
campaign
between
our
committee.
Did.
I
freeze,
can
y'all
hear
me
you're
good,
okay,
perfect.
My
internet
keeps
coming
in
and
out
advise
counsel
and
create
a
small
business
recognition
campaign
between
edac
and
the
public
information
office
to
recognize
those
who
follow
protocols
and
certified
and
service
our
community.
A
A
A
C
It's
a
term,
I
have
a
suggestion
for
you
all
right.
If
anyone
wants
a
comment
before
me,
I
can
wait
yeah,
okay,
when
my
suggestion
would
be
given
that
the
economic
development
department
has
zero
dollars
for
marketing
and
obviously
we
have
a
grants,
administrator
and
an
administrative
assistant
than
me
right
that
what
I've,
what
I've
been
doing,
the
last
you
know
year
and
especially
since
gene,
has
been
on
board
and
he's
no
longer
on
the
on
the
call.
C
Unfortunately,
is
I've
been
leaning
on
on
the
mile
one
who
deals
with
small
businesses
every
day
and
laredo
edc?
Who
the
city
supports
with
about
600
grand
a
year
to
take
more
of
that
small
business
development,
small
business
marketing
role?
You
know
as
we
play
as
a
team
here
being
that
they
have
especially
mile
one,
you
know
at
their
disposal.
C
G
G
Each
district
to
have
a
once
to
have
a
business,
then
the
other
thing
right
now
I
mean
it's
a
great
idea,
but
right
now
I
think
now,
with
with
abbott's
proclamation
I
mean
as
far
as
pandemic.
I
don't
know
if
it's
gonna
how
long
that's
gonna
take
place.
Now
I
like
the
idea
of
recognizing
businesses,
but
I
don't
know
as
far
as
the
pandemic
right
now,
because
that
might
you
know
by
next
wednesday
we're
going
to
be
at
100
with
no
masks.
A
D
Can
if
I
can
give
an
opinion,
I
think,
with
the
governor's
the
fact
that
we're
going
back
to
100,
I
yeah.
I
don't
think
this
should
most
likely
go
through
the
economic
development
department,
because
it's
really
only
two
people,
but
can
we
make
the
request
to
something
in
my
mind
right
now,
but
see
cv
conventions
visitor
cbb?
D
Don't
they
run
a
facebook
page
where
they
advertise
on?
Is
it?
Is
it
possible
that
we
actually
recognize
the
businesses
that
are
still
gonna
be
following
the
cdc's
criteria?
Maybe
not
the
governors
but
the
cdc
criteria
where
their
employees
are
masters?
Something
of
that
nature
so
that
obviously
the
businesses
out
there
that
are
practicing
safe
guidelines
are
the
ones
that
actually
get
promoted
or
basically
get
encouraged,
and
people
can
see
that
those
are
the
safe
places.
A
Yeah
I
like
that.
We
can
definitely
add
that
to
to
my
motion.
The
reason
why
I
chose
the
public
information
office
to
partner
with
udac
is
because
I've
seen
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
on
their
social
media.
So
I
think
that
just
a
picture
with
the
certificate
of
recognition
and
giving
a
brief
speech
would
help
a
long
way
with
that
said,
is
there
any
further
discussion?
A
And
I'm
in
favor
as
well,
obviously
any
against
none
against
motion
clears
unanimously
and
we
will
move
on
to
our
final
agenda
item
5d
discussion
and
possible
action
on
the
status
on
the
chapter,
380
guidelines
and
status
report
on
current
companies
that
have
active
chapter
380
agreements
with
the
city
and
any
other
matters
incident
there
too.
Mr
villarreal,
the
floor
is
yours.
G
Yeah-
and
I
think
we've
we've
discussed
this-
I
know
we're
running
late
now,
but
I
think
we
discussed
it.
I
think,
mr
garcia,
I
mentioned
that
it's
that
the
companies
are
there
on
the
website.
Is
that
correct?
Should
I
see
it
and
we
also
discuss
as
far
as
getting
this,
you
know
finalizing
the
guidelines
for
the
chapter
380..
G
The
last
thing
I
think
that
is
important
is,
is
the
compliance
with
the
with
the
380
chapters?
So
how
is
that
taking
place?
And
I've
always
think
I
know
like
us
as
bankers,
we
always
when
we
do
loan
agreements.
We
put
the
burden
on
the
bar
to
tell
us
that
they're
in
compliance
and
then
so
when
we
go
and
we
check
we'll
be
told
you're
in
compliance
and
we're
not,
then
you
know,
but
just
wanted
your
take
on
that.
C
Yeah
for
sure
john,
thank
you
very
much.
Yes,
all
the
three
outlet
380
active,
active
380
agreements
that
I'm
aware
of
are
on
our
website,
except
for
one
and
it's
being
looked
at
by
legal
to
put
on
the
website,
which
is
the
the
380
we
did
with
aramar.
So
if
you
don't
see
that
on
there,
it's
it'll
be
on
there
shortly,
but
all
the
rest
and
then
also
the
the
312
and
311
sales
tax
rebate
and
et
cetera
agreements.
C
Number
two
is
that
the
policy
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
but
I
just
want
to
repeat
it
john
is
the
policy-
is
with
city
management
right
now
and
we're
gonna
try
to
move
it
to
city
council
as
as
soon
as
we
can
and
the
one
that
the
edac
endorsed
already
and
then
the
third
part
of
it,
with
the
compliance
that
you
mentioned
yeah
most
of
the
agreements
done
even
way
before
I
got
here.
Probably
when
george
was
on
council,
is
they
or
some
of
them?
C
Those
usually
have
a
have
a
clause
in
there
that
that
the
city
meets
with
them
at
least
once
a
year
to
review
their
personnel
records
either
we
review
them
or
a
third
party
reviews
them
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
compliance-
and
it
has
to
be
done
at
least
once
a
year
from
our
our
staff
level.
Here,
we've
done,
we've
done
those
with
medline
with
us,
cold
right
and
one
other
one.
C
I
can't
remember
right
off:
we've
had
the
the
the
payroll
records
in
front
of
us
and
we
go
through
that
with
them,
and
then
some
of
the
other
ones
legal
has
has
done
like
the
el
portal
and
then
also
laredo
town
center
over
by
the
airport,
and
then,
of
course,
the
tax
office
does
all
the
ones
that
involve
sales
tax,
like
alamo
draft
house,
which
unfortunately
declared
bankruptcy
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
some
of
these
other
ones.
So
there
are
several
folks
that
look
at
them
on
an
annual
basis.
