Description
PORT OF ENTRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE 090723
C
A
Robert
Morris
Jr
here
Jason
hinojosa
Gerardo
Maldonado,
that
the
record
show
that
the
Quorum
of
the
committee
members
is
present
that
this
meeting
is
duly
called
and
that
the
notice
of
the
meeting
was
posted
in
accordance
with
the
Texas
meetings.
Open
Act
is
there,
is
there
a
flag,
no
flag,
we
can
face
North,
we
can
face
North,
that's
what
it
usually
is.
Can
we
stand
up
for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
A
Any
citizens
comments
no
Richard.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on,
takes
approval
of
the
minutes.
Do
I
hear
a
motion
to.
F
G
A
H
H
We
should
start
talking
not
about
two
Laredos
but
three
Laredos
City
of
Laredo
Laredo
and
Colombia.
We
brand
our
Bridge,
our
Port
originally
was
called
Puente
Colombia.
Now
it's
called
Puerto
Colombia
Laredo,
because
we're
part
of
Laredo
we
border
with
Laredo
Texas
and
that's
something
we
need
to
emphasize,
because
all
the
statistics
that
are
giving
National
and
international
wise
were
also
included
on
those
numbers,
and
we
also
have
the
benefit
that
the
Anam
is
going
to
come
to
Nuevo
Laredo.
H
So
no
Volare
is
going
to
become
the
capital
city
of
the
advanas,
and
Colombia
is
going
to
become
the
capital
city
of
logistics.
So
the
serial
area
has
the
best
of
Two
Worlds
National
context,
just
to
emphasize
we
are
becoming,
especially
with
Aquarius
in
income
tax
collection.
That's
one
way
of
measuring
how
important
Colombia
solidarity.
H
We're
currently
in
second
place,
usually
second
and
third
place.
What
is
sometimes
goes
to
Second
Place
Colombia
goes
to
second
place
where,
where
they're
always
closely
tight
in
this
last
year,
but
just
to
emphasize
Aquarius
has
seven
International,
Crossings
and
Revolution
only
has
one
Juarez
has
six
with
Texas
and
one
with
New
Mexico,
and
all
you
only
has
one
simple
Bridge
with
the
City
of
Laredo.
H
Here
are
the
numbers:
how
they're,
in
the
tax
collection
harder
how
they're,
showing
the
the
its
growth,
obviously
is
always
going
to
be
number
one
and
we're
not
competing
with
each
Port
has
its
own
unique
clients,
we're
emphasizing
for
clients
that
do
not
need
to
stop
in
the
City
of
Laredo.
For
all
those
clients
that
need
to
go
up
north
from
kotula
All,
the
Way
North
to
I-35
choose
the
Columbia
Bridge.
H
This
is
the
reality
of
Mexico.
These
are
the
unfortunately
that's
how
the
situation
is
in
security
in
a
medium
in
the
short,
medium
and
long
term,
I,
don't
see
how
our
neighboring
state
of
Tamil
people
will
change
and
that
it's
something
we
have
to
deal
with
and
we
have
to
work
with
this
realityon
are
in
green.
Obviously
it
does
not
accept
us
that
we
could
become
orange
or
red
we're
working
in
a
very
tight
strategy,
so
no
volume
does
not
get
contaminated
with
Tamaulipas
and
we
become
in
an
orange
zone.
H
As
you
already
know,
no
volume
is
becoming
the
number
it's
already
the
number
one
state
in
Mexico
of
the
Year
sharing
after
the
Tesla
announcement.
It's
incredible
how
many
companies
are
coming
into
Nuevo
Leon
as
a
state
government.
We're
amazed
that
every
day
multinationals
are
coming
and
we
as
a
state
are
very
worried
because
we
have
to
provide
all
the
infrastructure
needed
as
water
highways,
security,
schools,
hospitals,
and
so
we
have
to
make
this.
H
H
These
are
all
the
highways
that
had
to
be
done
in
the
last
30
years,
but
never
were
done.
Why?
Because
we
were
always
hoping
that
the
federal
government
would
pay
for
them.
Well,
guess
what
the
federal
government
for
30
years
never
pay
for
them.
So
the
only
way
to
get
this
to
become
a
reality
was
for
the
state
to
finance
its
own
highways.
H
So
what
the
governor
Samuel
Garcia
decided
to
do
is
to
with
with
its
own
State
resources
and
in
a
multi-annual
program,
to
start
building
five,
a
strategic
State
highways
that
will
end
up
in
Colombia
and
it
has
their
their
dates
of
opening.
For
example,
the
anillo
peripherico
was
already
open,
which
is
on
the
lower,
which
is
on
the
on
the
opening
of
2026.
It's
87
kilometers,
that's
the
most
complicated
Highway,
because
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
Sierra
Madre
and
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
tunnels
and
bridges.
H
The
Gloria
Colombia
is
opening
this
December
we're
we're
making
sure
that
this
highway
could
guarantee
all
the
traffic
that
is
stopping
right
now
on
highway
85..
It's
amazing.
If
you
go
from
Monterey
to
Nuevo
Laredo
on
kilometer
145,
1,
105,
sorry,
where
the
toll
booths
are
they're
more
than
a
thousand
trucks
sleeping
at
night
there
on
the
side
of
the
road
wrongly,
because
they're
not
supposed
to
be
sleeping
there
waiting
for
the
sun
right
sunlight
to
come
out,
so
they
can
go
into
Tamaulipas.
H
So
what
we
want
to
guarantees
all
those
trucks
that
are
stopping
and
are
wasting
10
hours
because
they
cannot
go
into
tamale
because
of
the
security
issues,
use
the
Columbia
highway,
and
then
we
can
guarantee
that
all
the
trucks
arrive
in
Colombia
three
in
the
morning
four
in
the
morning
and
start
preparing
everything
to
start
Crossing
at
8.
A.M
I
know
it's
a
very
ambitious
program
and
I
know
that
security
issue
is
the
main
issue.
If
we
get
contaminated
with
a
security
issue,
everything
that
I'm
talking
to
you
right
now
will
go
to
the
trust.
H
H
We
also
working
on
Highway
one
which
is
starting
Monterrey
and
Salinas
Victoria
on
the
left-hand
side.
It's
another
way
to
get
into
Colombia
and
we're
also
putting
the
dates
in
every
segment
of
the
highways
and
they're
around
1.4
billion
dollars.
Investing
of
State
resources,
also
in
our
highways
we're
starting
to
announce.
H
Our
strategy
is
to
make
Nuevo
Leon
Monterrey
the
safest
Corridor,
with
the
five
most
important
cities
of
Texas,
which
is
Laredo,
San,
Antonio,
Austin,
Dallas
and
Houston.
That's
our
main
emphasis
to
make
the
connectivity
between
Monterey
and
those
five
cities,
and
of
course,
Laredo
is
the
main
actor
in
this
scenario,
because
all
of
all
of
our
Crossings
are
gonna,
go
through
Laredo
Texas
through
Webb
County,
the
numbers
they're
going
up
without
a
Gloria
Colombia,
especially
on
their
truck
sites.
H
More
than
two
digits,
and
especially
if
you
can
see
on
March
the
March
31st
on
the
trucks
on
the
cargo.
That's
when
the
Tesla
announcement
was
made
and
in
April
it
went
23
up
and
since
then
it
has
been
up
to
digits
where
we're
forecasting
that
our
numbers
are
gonna
completely
start
going
in
a
faster
manner
once
in
January
next
year,
once
the
highway
is.
H
Also,
on
the
on
the
tourist
side
on
the
normal
passenger
sites,
the
numbers
are
going
up.
This
has
to
do
a
lot
because
of
the
vaccination
program
that
was
done
in
the
middle
of
the
bridge.
A
lot
of
people
from
Maryland
didn't
know
that
we
had
a
border
with
Texas
and
now
with
the
vaccination
program,
they
realize
that
we
have
a
border
and
it's
faster
to
go
through
Laredo
using
it.
We
made
this
study.
H
87
000
trucks
are
crossing
through
Colombia
and
60
percent
are
taking
a
right
hand
side
or
into
Mines
Road,
so
we're
also
contributing
with
World
Trade
to
make
mindful
a
total
chaos.
So
we
have
to
emphasize
and
make
a
strategy
for
both
Bridges
and
tell
our
customers
that
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
City
of
Laredo,
use
World
Trade
Bridge.
But
if
you
want
to
use,
if
you
want
to
go
up
North
and
you
don't
want
to
stop
to
the
City
of
Laredo,
use
the
Columbia
Bridge.
H
And
if
we
had
that
in
a
very
organized
manner.
Trust
me
the
City
of
Laredo
is
going
to
earn
more
money,
more
income
and
the
cargo
is
going
to
cross
more
faster
on
both
Bridges.
But
right
now,
there's
not
a
strategy,
and
you
could
see
trucks
crossing
the
world
tree
Beach
that
are
going
up
to
Chicago
and
you
see
trucks
Crossing
through
Colombia
that
are
going
to
Mines
Road,
so
that
it's
not
a
very
good
communication
strategy
that
we
need
to
have
on
those
ports.
H
We
have
the
opportunity
we
already
know
the
owners
on
the
Mexican
side
on
the
American
side,
who
is
who,
on
each
side
the
advantage
of
this
area
is
that
all
Virgin
Territory
there's
no
development.
So
we
can
really
design
an
ideal,
logistic
City,
there's
no
other
opportunity
in
other
side
of
the
Border
in
the
whole
country
of
the
U.S
or
Mexico
that
we
can
have
the
opportunity
to
design
this.
H
H
We
have
already
identified
and
we're
negotiating
as
a
state
buying
land
on
the
Mexican
side,
because
we
have
a
project
of
an
airport
of
a
railway
station,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
on
those
Mexican
sites
that
you
see,
there's
no
speculators
going
in
to
buy
Inland
and
just
wait
20
or
30
years,
as
it
happened
on
the
Columbia
Bridge,
any
investor
that
is
going
to
buy
land
there.
We
need
to
know
who
is
he?
Who
is
he
and
which
project?
Are
they
going
to
make?
H
H
H
B
H
H
And
we
can
decide
the
ideal
place
to
do
business
on
the
southern
part
of
Highway
2
that
we're
gonna
have
the
the
population
and
also
the
trade
project.
What
the
way
we're
visualizing
is
that
the
High
Executives
and
the
medium
executives
are
going
to
live
in
the
Laredo
side,
probably
very
close
to
the
golf
course
that
is
there
on
the
Max
on
that
area.
H
All
that
development
is
going
to
become
very
interesting,
because
all
that
part
is
going
to
become
a
strategic
area
for
the
City
of
Laredo,
because
this
is
gonna
bring
a
lot
of
business
and
we
know
that
the
U.S
executives
are
not
going
to
live
in
Mexico
they're
going
to
want
to
live
in
Laredo
and
they're
not
going
to
want
to
live
here
in
Plantation
or
near
here.
They
want
to
want
to
live
near
there.
So,
how
that's?
How
it's
going
to
benefit?
D
H
H
I
start
well
we're
doing
the
port,
as
you
already
you
already
know,
Colombia
I
love,
you
guys
right
yeah.
All
of
you
know
Colombia
yes,
here
from
here
to
the
reaches
to
kilometers.
What
we're
doing
right
now
is
we're
doing
housing
projects
here,
but
we
also
have
a
problem
at
6,
PM,
Colombia,
there's
no
activity.
Everyone
goes
home,
so
there's
also
we're
wasting
an
opportunity
to
have
a
24-hour
port.
H
Our
biggest
challenge
is
a
labor.
So
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
building
building
the
housing
complex
here.
So
we
can
tell
the
companies
are
already
here
which
hire
more
than
a
thousand
employees
to
have
three
three
24-hour
shifts
because
most
of
the
people
working
on
the
port
come
from.
So
at
six
o'clock
they
go
home
and
we
need
to
have
this
also
already
by
December,
but
sorry
by
February.
We
also
change
our
image
where
Governor
Garcia
is
coming
tomorrow
to
open
to
open
our
checkpoint.
H
H
If
you
don't
have
a
Visa,
sorry,
don't
even
get
close
to
the
poll
Goods.
You
need
to
go
back.
If
they're
going
to
be
any
migration
uprisings
like
there
has
been
Reynosa,
Matamoros
or
Juarez,
they
will
already
know
that
Colombia
is
not
a
way
to
get
across.
We
also
are
expanding
our
toll
booths
from
7
to
13.
H
We
already
started
that
this
is
part
of
the
works.
I
need
to
do
for
the
expansion
of
the
bridge,
and
we
also
have
Puerta
civil,
a
big
quartile
bill
being
built
from
35
police.
Now,
there's
going
to
be
350,
police
sleeping
in
Colombia,
making
sure
nothing
happens
in
Colombia,
so,
as
you
could
see,
the
state
government
is
spreading
everything
into
this
border,
we're
making
a
great
effort
to
win
that
time
that
we
lost
for
30
years
and
making
sure
that
this
occurred
in
a
very
fast
manner.
H
As
you
already
know
in
this
region
we're
the
only
process
that
have
the
unified
cargo
processing.
This
also
makes
the
big
difference
with
the
other
Crossings.
We
have
to
take
advantage
of
this
I.
Don't
know
how
long
we're
going
to
be
the
only
ones
in
this
region
to
have
this
processing,
but
in
the
meantime
we
need
glasses.
We
need
to
have.
We
need
to
take
advantage
of
this,
and
if
we
need
to
emphasize
also
on
this,
when
we
took
office
there
were
about
3
400
Crossings
right
now.
H
We
need
to
update
right
now,
there's
6
000
Crossings,
going
on
in
Colombia,
when
the
Gloria
Colombia
is
going
to
open
we're
going
to
go
up.
8
000
Crossings,
just
to
have
an
idea.
Nuevo
Laredo
has
16
000
Crossings,
so
we're
going
to
be
half
of
navolaredo
we're
only
one
bridge
and
we're
only
with
in
the
middle
of
nowhere.
So
we
already
know
that
the
numbers
are
going
to
go
up
and
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
the
expansion
and
that's
why
I'm
here,
to
tell
you
guys.
H
First
of
all
that
we
already
have
that
concession
for
30
more
years.
We
got
it
a
week
ago
from
the
federal
government
in
a
very
formal
manner.
We
got
30
more
years
and
to
also
tell
you
that
we
have
the
money
necessary
to
need
it
to
finance
what
it
needs
to
finance
for
the
Mexican
side
on
this
part
of
the
project.
We're
not
going
to
ask
for
federal
resources,
because
we
don't
want
to
waste
time
on
the
bureaucratic
procedures
of
asking.
H
We
already
have
the
money,
we're
already
ready
to
start
and
we're
ready
to
start
we're
ready
to
work
with
the
City
of
Laredo,
as
we
have
always
been
working
just
our
customers.
You
mostly
already
know,
and
emphasizing
that
also
I'm,
going
to
have
a
meeting
with
argentiado
analysis
to
tell
them
that
this
is
a
big
opportunity
for
the
region,
that
if
we
make
a
strategic
strategy
of
emphasizing
which
cargo
needs
to
go
into
which
Bridge
we
could
facilitate
to
the
serial
Laredo
for
more
Investments
to
come
in
right.
H
Now,
it's
a
total
chaos,
there's
no
order
of
which
of
which
Crossing
goes
to
which
port
and
we
and
I
can
guarantee
you.
If
we
can
organize
this
in
a
very
strategic
manner
in
which
everyone's
going
to
win
money,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
what
moves
a
lot
of
people
most
people,
the
money
issue.
H
So
we're
going
to
tell
them
that
if
we
can
try
to
concentrate
all
the
cargo
that
needs
to
go
up
North
through
Colombia
and
make
sure
that
the
customers
already
know
that
that
cost,
especially
in
the
fruits
and
veggies,
we
already
have
a
big
project
from
the
City
of
Laredo
Garros
in
which
is
right
now
under
utilize.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
facility
it's
a
hundred
percent.
It's
a
it's
the
other,
although
we're
making
a
lot
of
strategy.
B
H
H
Just
to
conclude,
Port
of
Laredo
and
Colombia
Laredo
are
the
same,
are
form
the
same
part
of
a
one
strategy
30
years
past,
which
the
Puente
Colombia
wrongly
named,
used
to
be
seen
as
an
abandoned
kid
as
an
abandoned
child,
which
was
there
when
he
was
when
they
mostly
needed
it
well
right
now
we
form
part
of
Laredo,
we're
raising
our
hand,
not
talk
to
Laredos
with
three.
That
is.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
K
A
Thank
you.
Congratulations,
a
very
excellent
presentation,
very
detailed
in
in
the
airport
of
Colombia.
We
were
giving
I
want
to
take.
Thank
you
for
taking
your
time
here.
I
know
you
have
a
busy
schedule.
City
council
gave
us
a
task
to
do
a
working
group
with
you
so
that
we
can
start
with
the
expansion.
A
I
spoke
to
secretary
Joe
Valdez
to
see
if
more
than
four
or
five,
because
it's
a
quorum
that
we
could
meet
in
this
work
group,
and
he
said
yes
as
long
as
we
just
stick
to
the
to
the
expansion
topic,
and
we
don't
talk
about
anything
else,
so
we're
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
ask
everybody
who
would
like
to
form
to
be
part
of
this
working
group
so
that
we
could
put
a
date
for
the
next
meeting.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
to
discuss.
A
I
L
E
I
have
a
question:
I,
have
a
question:
I
didn't
see
a
time
frame
like
what
what
projection
do
you
see
in
the
next
20
years?
Ten
five.
What
I
know
you
guys
are
are
running
full
Full,
Speed,
Ahead
right
now,
and
the
Camino
La
Gloria
is
is
almost
complete,
but
what
what
projection
you
see
this
going
along
time
frame.
H
There
are
the
dates
just
from
the
highways,
but
we're
really
worried
of
the
numbers
that
we're
seeing
as
I
told
you
by
the
next
year.
In
the
first
trimester,
our
numbers
are
gonna,
go
up
from
6
000
Crossings
I'm
talking
about
export
and
import,
not
only
we're
gonna
go
up
easily
nine
thousand
across.
E
H
H
L
C
H
Land,
so
it's
very
complicated
to
buy.
The
state
is
working
with
the
hero
to
make
a
strategy
to
make
sure
the
selling
procedure
goes
easily,
but
also
we
don't
want
any
speculators
here,
because
when
the
Columbia
Bridge
started,
a
lot
of
people
bought
land
there
on
purpose,
so
it
would
nothing
would
happen
there.
H
So
what
we
want
to
make
sure
is
learn
from
our
past
mistakes
and
know
which
companies
that
go
there
for
this
for
this
project,
for
the
loop
project
that
we're
going
to
be
built.
That's
when
we
built
in
next
year,
another
infrastructure
concerning
the
highways
need
to
be
need
to
be
ready
by
May
2024..
H
So,
basically,
our
priority
to
summarize
is
the
highways
which
will
lead
on
the
expansion
of
the
bridge.
We
need
to
get
started
now.
Basically,
you
guys
are
going
to
tell
me
what
path
I
need
to
follow,
so
we
don't
lose
so
much
time.
You
guys
have
more
experience
in
this.
You
have
the
World
Trade
expansion,
experience,
learning
from
the
mistakes
and
from
the
successes
of
that
process.
We
can
save
a
lot
of
time
and
we
can
also
almost
we're
also
working
on
the
airport
we
already
we're
already
starting.
H
We
already
have
a
climate
Metro
meteorological
station,
sending
information
to
Mitre
Mitre,
it's
a
non-profit
Corporation
in
DC,
which
are
the
ones
that
design
different
airports
around
the
world
and
we're
already
designing
the
airspace
on
that
border.
So
we
can
have
other
planes
that
are
going
to
arrive
in
Colombia,
not
flying
over
the
U.S
territory,
because
if
they
fly
over
the
U.S
territory,
that's
going
to
take
more
time
on
permissions.
H
So
basically,
this
is
going
to
be
a
cargo
there's
going
to
be
a
cargo
Airport,
but
also
positively
and
you're,
going
to
think
I'm
crazy,
we're
not
crazy
a
little
bit,
but
not
that
much
we're
planning
to
have
you
guys
been
to
Tijuana
ever.
Have
you
crossed
the
cbx
ever
yes,
a
little
cbx
here,
don't
know
what
that
is.
Our
airport
is
never
going
to
work,
just
be
realistic.
H
That's
why
we
should
concentrate.
We
have
other
people
working
on
the
other
projects
just
to
I
want
to
explain
everything
to
you.
So
you
already
know
that
this
logistic
city
is
a
reality
and
we
can
build
it
together,
the
City
of
Laredo
and
mobilion.
We
have
once
of
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
do
this
to
do
this,
because
the
stereo
volume
is
really
priority.
Prioritizing
this
I
don't
know
the
next
state
government
would
do
the
same.
H
I
L
B
H
L
H
Have
14
kilometers
border,
let
me
show
you
the
hold
on.
H
Unfortunately,
the
Latin
strip
and
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you.
It's
only
a
hero
on
the
hidden
this,
this
complicated
a
little
bit,
because
this
is
prior
one.
This
is
private
in
the
hero
we
have
to
make
negotiations
I'm,
not
saying
it's
impossible,
but
it's
more
hard,
we're
already
starting
to
talk
to
them,
we're
already
starting
to
buy
land,
and
we
already
know
where
the
land
and
if
this
will
be
update,
it's
going
to
be
to
London
strips.
H
We
need
to
leave
everything
our
priority
as
a
state
government
is
to
leave
the
foundations
for
the
next
government
to
continue,
but
they
already
would
know.
What's
the
plan
on
that
side
of
the
Border,
that's
why
we're
hiring
HDR
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
know
HDR
it's
a
consulting
firm
that
was
hired
by
text
Dot,
which
was
the
one
that
made
that
Texas
infrastructure
border
plan
in
that
study.
It's
very
general
talking
about
the
whole
border,
with
Texas
with
Mexico.
H
In
our
study
that
we're
gonna
pay,
it
concentrates
of
what
needs
to
be
done
on
both
sides
of
the
border
with
a
logistic
View.
How
can
we
emphasize
having
this
vision
of
getting
most
products
across
the
US
in
a
faster
manner,
but
also
organizing
a
logistics
Center
that
would
become
the
most
attractive
for
American
investors
to
come
to
the
Mexican
side,
Mr.
A
I
H
Perfect,
so
basically,
what
we
think
we
need
to
have
some
Loops
here,
because
right
now,
it's
currently
beginning
a
lot
of
traffic
here,
especially
with
latimix
here,
lab
mix
is
growing
over
2000
trucks
are
sleeping
here
and
we
have
to
make
a
different,
probably
a
different
entry.
It's
going
to
go
through
here
and
then
you're
going
to
go
we're
already
seeing.
That
is
when
I
become
a
chaos,
also
on
the
Mexican
side.
But
we
have
time
to
decide
it,
but.
I
Another
quick
thing
and
it's
great
Your
Enthusiasm,
that's
been
you've,
been
showing
the
Laredo
community
and
Columbia
for
the
past.
18
months
has
been
great.
It
looks
like
you
guys
are
on
top
of
the
game
and
you're
trying
to
do
this
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
the
the
Columbia
Laredo,
and
it's
always
like
that.
It's
sadly
for
many
many
years
a
lot
of
people
have
the
Colombia
against
Laredo,
and
it
shouldn't
be
like
that.
We
would
love
to
be
the
two.
I
I
H
C
I
And-
and
things
like
that,
so
that
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
we
should
keep
working
together.
You
know
this
this
board.
We
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
the
transportation
in
the
Customs,
Brokerage,
Mexican
and
U.S
and
banking,
so
we're
here
to
help
and
make
this
community
bigger
than
ourselves.
What
I
mean
is
we're
not
just
thinking
of
how
is
it
going
to
affect
my
company
how's.
C
I
Going
to
affect
the
whole
community
and
there's
going
to
be
investment
opportunities
for
everybody
in
the
community
and
out,
outliers
and
and
insiders.
So
that's
that
I
applaud
you
for
that.
The
only
thing
I
am
asking
because
it
did
create
a
little
chaos
when
you
guys
were
in
California,
and
you
presented
it
again
today.
The
five-minute
Crossing
for
Colombia
that
you
created
about
10
meetings
for
me
and.
I
Make
bring
in
three
customers
from
California
to
Laredo
to
show
them
that
it's
not
five
minutes.
It
is
faster
than
Laredo
and
I
agree.
But
20
minutes
it's
a
good
number
to
say:
20
30
minutes,
it's
a
good
Crossing
when
average,
but
five
minutes
I
think
just
across
the
bridge
is
a
little
more
than
five
minutes.
But.
I
L
H
I
H
L
H
If
they're,
organizing,
The
Crossings
so
completely
with
you
in
that
issue,
we
have
to
hopefully
I
that
meeting
with
the
coastal
Brokers,
most
I'm,
pretty
sure
you
guys
are
going
to
be.
There
help
me
to
transmit
that
we're
not
competing
we're
different
customers.
Our
customers
are
different
with
and
the
vocation
foreign.
H
But
we
we're
looking
more
of
not
just
becoming
others.
We
were
coming
of
a
logistics
Center
which
cannot
do
on
that
time
issue
when
we
say
five
minutes
we're
talking
about
the
bureaucratic
procedures
that
you
need
to
do
with
the
papers
it
takes.
It
takes
us
one
minute
and
30
seconds
to
get
across
and
not
when
the
five
minutes
I'm
not
talking
about
the
bridge
I'm
talking
once
once,
you
stop
stop
yeah
less.
I
G
C
H
H
Good
number,
and
usually
also
with
that
and
the
agricultural
issue
we
have,
we
already
have
an
installation
with
the
unit
trading
hours.
We
should
take
advantage
of
that
yeah.
It's
wasted
there.
M
H
I
A
A
And
and.
B
M
M
M
M
H
G
G
G
G
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
A
I
F
This
just
in
reply
to
or
in
further
to
what
Milo
said
earlier
about
the
five
minutes
and
the
information
that
we're
Republic
you're
publicizing
to
to
the
community
and
marketing
this
concept.
While
it's
not
inaccurate
that
it's
five
minutes
for
that
one
little
portion
of
it
when
most
people
think
of
the
The
Crossing
process,
they
don't
think
of
just
the
point
where
you
submit
a
document
to
the
official.
F
It
covers
up
the
trailer
and
Crossing
to
deliver
the
trailer
to
the
other
side,
and
that
process
is
something
that
can
take
20
or
30
minutes,
not
just
five,
but
if
you
only
sell
to
them,
it
takes
five
minutes
to
the
average
person
to
who
hears
that
they're
going
to
think.
Oh,
the
whole
Crossing
process
from
here
to
here
takes
five
minutes
and
what
is
not
accurate.
F
So,
while
the
information
you
give
is
not
wrong,
it's
not
complete
and
so
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
give
the
complete
picture
so
that
it's
taken
it's
swallowed
better
by
by
everybody.
You.
H
G
They
study
already
CBP
has
said.
Let
me
try
to
get
it
so
I
can
already
studied
with
the
time
frame.
I
don't
know
if
it
has
it,
but
there's
the
waiting
time
on
each
hour
of
the
day.
H
G
H
Government
still
has
us
as
a
border
aduana,
instead
of
so
we're
we're
loving
to
change
that,
but
unfortunately
Mexican
bureaucracy,
sometimes
when
you're
working
and
you're
getting
to
the
top,
they
changed
the
head
so
another
one
that
they
had
changed
three
times
the
top
guy
and
we
almost
got
the
approval
and
they,
the
guy,
leaves
so
we're
concentrating
on
we're
only
asking
to
have
the
same
hours
of
operation.
That's
where
we're
asking
the
same
hours,
not
more
no
less.
O
Well,
because,
right
now
in
if
I
may,
on
the
world
trade
or
open
till
midnight
and
we're
open
on
Sundays
and
a
lot
of
times,
we
do
have
Crossings
on
Sundays,
but
Columbia
Crossings
are
zero
and
I.
Think
that
if
we're
talking
about
investing
in
expanding
I
think
we
should
also
expand
our
hours,
because
that
we
don't
have
to
spend
as
much
money
on
as
as
far
and
I'm
and
I'm
all
in
favor
of
an
expansion
like
I.
O
Think
that
make
the
bridges
that
we
have
more
efficient,
I'm
all
in
favor
of
expanding
both.
But
it
does
concern
me
that
we're
not
getting
that
Sunday
Revenue,
because
it's
also
a
loss
for
us
too,
because
we
have
investment
in
that
area.
You're
are
our
hazardous
materials,
trade
Bridge!
That's
where
all
I
mean
we're
trying
to
expand
that
port
to
be
something
and
I.
Think
it's
important
for
us
to
have
that
Sunday.
Is
there
any
plans
to
get
that
we're.
H
It's
very
flexible,
the
Mexican
Authority,
even
though
it's
not
open
on
Sundays.
If
we
have
extraordinary
Services
required,
they
will
approve,
but
unfortunately,
like
you
said,
people
have
the
idea
that
it's
close,
so
they
don't
they
don't
they
don't
know
that
they
can
have
an
extraordinary
service
comply
with
or
approved.
So
we
so
we
have
to
make
more
advertisement.
While
we
get
the
federal
government
approved
to
be
open
on
a
daily
on
the
Sunday
basis,
I.
A
O
C
O
We
can
accommodate
that
very
easily
on
our
end
and
we
would
definitely
see
an
increase
in
revenues
on
both
sides.
Not
only
that
we
would
have
those
hazardous
Crossings
on
Sundays
and
things
like
that.
So
I
think
that
if
we
can
incorporate
that
into
the
expansion
plan
so
that
we
target
like
opening
on
Sundays
Within
six
months
from
now,
yes
and
then
we
have
the
expansion
set
for
I
mean
it
could
take
up
to
eight
years.
O
On
our
end,
to
get
approval
or
five
years
or
however
long
the
government
gives
us
the
approval
once
we
make
the
application,
but
that
would
definitely
give
an
expansion
in
a
shorter
period
of
time
and
it
will
show
commitment,
I
think
and
more
stability
for
both
sides.
J
A
E
A
A
O
O
I
came
to
to
kind
of
hear
about
it
if
anybody
knows
what's
going
on,
because
I
I
see
significant
duties
and
I'm
thinking
what
is
going
on
so
does
anybody
have
any
information
on
it?
I
don't
know.
A
E
A
A
C
A
C
M
M
A
M
E
It's
multiple
lights
and
I
see
the
police
officer
at
every
light,
but
most
of
the
times
they're
in
their
cars,
not
just
visually
being
there,
but
I
think
there
has
to
be
something
done
to
synchronize
completely,
because
it's
very
frustrating
for
me
to
drive
3.9
miles
in
over
30
40
50
minutes.
To
get
to
that.
To
my
to
my
home,
Mr
Morris.
A
F
Can,
as
you
all
know,
we
had
our
minds:
Road
Mobility
group
that
operated
starting
at
the
first
of
this
year
through
above
July,
to
address
the
issues,
and
the
first
issue
that
we
addressed
was
the
synchronization
of
the
lights
and
I
can
say
and
I
will
to
the
councilwoman
I'll
just
say
we
have
I've,
had
multiple
conversations
with
Robert
Pena,
who
is
the
director
of
these
acting
director
for
the
city,
Traffic
Safety,
who
oversees
the
delays
in
suggesting
that
we
just
need
to
to
synchronize
those
his
comments
always
are.
F
I've
talked
to
him
multiple
times:
I've
talked
to
people
over
him,
trying
to
get
the
encouragement
for
him
to
do
that,
and
what
I
believe
is
the
case.
Maybe
is
that
the
the
reward
for
doing
something
well
is
very
minimal,
and
the
consequence,
if
you
fail
at
something
with
the
city,
is
that
it's
a
major
and
he's
afraid
to
fail.
So
we
need
to
somehow
rather
encourage
them
to
be
able
to
to
make
some
changes
to
these
and
then
tweak
them
and
tweak
them
until
they
get
right
without
the
possibility
of
being
punished.
F
C
O
Yeah,
so
this
has
been
tension
for
while
I
have
I
was
going
back
to
my
text
with
Mr
Pena
August
23rd
I
had
a
lot
of
so
I
get
tagged
by
residents
whenever
there's
an
issue.
Also
right
and
so
I
was
like
tagged
on
Facebook
that
there
was
an
issue
with
that
particular
light,
so
I
messaged
Mr
Pena
and
he
was
like
we
are
aware
we
had
storm
damage
that
took
out
the
detection
system.
O
Okay,
then
I
asked
him
for
a
you
know:
Public
Announcement
and-
and
he
said
as
soon
as
we
have
a
full
assessment
and
our
technicians
were
there,
but
then
I
continued
to
get
messages
about
it,
and
then
he
says:
that's
not.
You
know
plausible,
yet
to
recall
the
services,
which
means
it's
providing
maximum
time
and
then
they
found
a
busted
cable
that
might
have
not
have
been
storm
related,
because
people
are
saying
it
was
happening
for
a
long
time
and
so
I
really
couldn't
get
like
a
straight
answer.
O
C
O
Why
he's
not
here,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
anyone
from
traffic's
coming
so
I
apologize
on
behalf
of
the
city
for
that
that
nobody's
here
so
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
answer
it
as
best
as
I
can
I
know
that
Mr
Pena
the
police
used
to
override
the
lights
manually,
but
he
requested
that
we
not
give
the
police
that
Authority,
because
they
were
doing
like
a
full
system.
Synchronic
resynchronization
based
on
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
what,
and
so
he
assured
me
that
it
would
flow
better.
O
But
then
we
had
an
issue
at
that
particular
green
Ranch
light
and
so
I
don't
know
if
it's
still
there
I
mean
I'm.
Sorry,
I
I
stopped
right
before
I
stopped
at
the
Muller
light.
I
don't
get
that
far
north
unless
I,
like
I'm
making
my
rounds
and
I
haven't
gone
out
there
since
August
25th,
admittedly
but
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
light
is
still
being
an
issue
there
or
not.
O
As
far
as
the
synchronization
I
know,
that
text
thought
my
understanding
is
that
it's
a
whole
system
flow,
so
they
have
to
kind
of
like
have
all
the
lights
work
together,
but
I
told
Mr
Pena
that
even
on
a
Sunday
I
mean
I'll,
stop
at
one
and
then
I'll
stop
at
another
and
I'll
stop
at
another
like
I
can't
even
get
through
more
than
one
light
on
a
non-traffic
day
and
his
response
was
well.
We
don't
we're
not
studying
that
and
then,
when
school
traffic
started
up
after
summer
it
was
like.
O
To
get
this
right
and
text
thought
also
has
a
part
in
it
because
it's
their
roadway,
but
their
my
understanding
is
they're
Contracting,
with
a
firm
to
do
a
study
for
a
full
synchronization,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
have
to
wait
for
the
study
results
to
tweak
at
our
end.
So
there's
all
these
things
happening
at
at
once
and
it
seems
like
we
haven't
hit
it
quite
right
yet
so.
C
F
I
would
suggest
that
we
allow
the
police
to
to
direct
traffic
at
those
intersections
green
Ranch
and
some
of
the
other
ones
that
were
that
are
heavy
issues
during
heavy
traffic
and
let
the
police
go
and
direct
the
traffic
until
the
city
can
actually
do
something
with
synchronization,
whether
it's
after
a
study
or
whether
they
decide
to
actually
do
some
work
and
tweak
thing
to
make
it
work.
That
did
not.
E
E
We
counted
11
seconds
at
ITC,
for
trailer
traffic
to
turn
or
to
Cross,
or
to
do
anything
so
we
one
day
we
were
stuck
during
lunchtime
coming
back
and
it
was
I
sat
through
five
lights
and
obviously
we
know
that
an
18-wheeler
takes
a
long
time
they
rev
up
and
go
and
move
10
seconds.
There
was
two
trailers
and
then
stop
and
then
the
side
traffic
going
and
out
and
then
another
10
12
seconds
two
more
trailers,
a
number
we
were
there
forever.
So
it
took
five
lights
just
to
to
to
get
through
ITC
understand.
O
E
F
J
F
The
truck
there's
two
issues
wanted,
they
can
be
there
and
their
presence
is
there
and
that
maybe
will
help
the
trucks
not
stop
in
the
middle
of
the
intersection.
But
what
we're
talking
about
is
at
those
lights,
there's
a
big
gray
box
and
those
police
officers
can
actually
connect
to
that
with
a
cable
and
they
can
even
sit
in
their
car
with
the
cable
on
it
and
they
can
manually
control
the.
So
that
would
be.
C
F
A
E
L
Think
the
key
also
is
to
what
Robert
was
mentioning
is
councilman
if
it's
possible
to
get
the
police
to
have
during
these
rough
hours
of
business,
especially
to
get
the
traffic
through
and
we
get
corporate
that
wants
to
come
down
all
the
time
and
we're
looking
for
another
location
over
there.
But
it's
you
know
it's!
It's
tough!
Going
out
there
and
coming
back
you're,
just
stuck
there
for
hours
and
you
waste
a
you
know.
Almost
half
a
morning
would
be
that
exaggerated.
L
O
C
Basically,
of
those.
K
E
E
E
L
L
O
Have
cameras-
and
they
are
do
monitor
not
sure
what
their
schedule
is
like
and
how
they
do
that
I
know
that
police
officers
do
end
up
at
the
Mueller
light
just
automatically
now,
because
I
know
that
was
an
issue
for
a
while
getting
the
that
program
set
up,
but
they
still
are
there.
Maybe
you
need
to
move
them
to
the
other
light.
No.
O
A
A
J
A
L
P
Let
me
guess:
can
I
make
a
suggestion
on
listening
in
that
you
asked
the
city
manager
who
the
traffic
department
works
for
to
to
make
to
execute
what
you
just
said,
because
if
you
ask
the
traffic
department
and
say
well,
what
he's
been
saying
ask
the
city
manager?
That's.
That
would
be
my
suggestion.
Yeah.
O
F
F
F
F
A
N
A
A
G
I
will
say
to
keep
track
of
the
timeline
that
they
are
committed
and
check
out
the
study,
since
we
don't
have
study
on
hand
and
just
keep
pushing
back.
N
The
project
is
moving
forward
pretty
rapidly
right
now,
I
mean
not
as
rapidly
as
we'd
hoped,
but
there's
a
lot
of
pieces
that
are
actually
moving
at
the
same
time
and
we're
trying
to
bring
more
pieces
online
at
the
same
time,
if,
if
the
committee
wants
more
input
or
more
information,
I
can
certainly
provide
updates
on
a
more
regular
basis.
At
this
point,
but
I
mean
the
project
is
moving
forward,
we're
getting
the
support
that
we
need
from
the
city
staff
to
to
keep
the
project
moving,
we're.
N
You
know
our
Congress
and
our
Senators
have
been
working
to
get
the
presidential
permit
moving
forward
and
that's
well
going
on.
We
have
our
working
group
with
the
state
of
Tamaulipas
already
established
and
we're
working
to
have
another
meeting
and
moving
that
forward.
So
a
lot
of
things
are
happening
and
I
think
that
project
is
moving
forward
and
it
is
going
at
a
very
rapid
Pace
compared
to
other
projects
that
have
happened
in
the
past.
N
But
if
it's
a
desire,
the
committee
to
to
no
more
be
more
up
to
date,
be
be
appraised
at
an
earlier
time.
We
can
certainly
provide
more
updates
and
meet
with
you
and
others
or
on
a
regular
basis.
If
you
would
like
to
to
keep
everybody
informed,
I
mean
at
this
point,
I
think
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
say
a
committee
will
not
help,
but
it
may,
unfortunately,
it
may
also
hinder
if
the
issues
get
information
does
not.
N
The
correct
information
is
not
put
forward
to
the
group,
as,
as
you
were
talking
about
the
the
crossing
times
earlier,
it
was
not.
There
nobody's
been
specific
about
where
that
five
minutes
is
well.
The
same
issue
could
happen
as
we're
moving
forward
with
World
Trade
expansion
that
if
the
right
information,
the
correct
information
is
not
transmitted,
there
may
be
confusion.
N
There
may
be
a
lot
of
other
things
that
happen
so
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
this
group
could
not
set
up
a
separate
working
group
to
to
assist
or
to
be
aware
of
what's
happening,
but
I
would
offer
that.
We
could
also
update
this
committee
on
a
more
regular
basis
than
we
have
I
know.
I
haven't
been
to
the
committee
in
a
while
and
I'm
here
today,
because
the
interest
in
Colombian
coordinating
what
we're
doing
at
world
trade
with
all
the
expansion
possibilities
there
Colombia.
N
E
A
A
D
For
the
record,
I
do
provide
you
the
monthly
updates,
as
they
provided
to
me.
I
email
it
to
you
all.
So
you
do
get
the
monthly
updates
of
the
Expansion
Project
I.
Don't
know
he
can
definitely
present
in
the
October
meeting,
but.
A
G
But
just
a
question:
when
we
just
put
this
item
on
the
agenda,
are
we
looking
just
to
get
updates?
Are
we
looking
for
this
working
group
to
push
to
see
if
we
can
move
faster
than
we
are
moving
right
now,
because
there's
two
different
things
updates
are
one
thing
and
the
working
group,
so
we
can
get
the
things
done
at
a
faster
Pace
or
maybe
be
aware
not
until
we
meet
until
the
next
month
and
have
an
update.
E
Or
I
can
I
think
I
think
that
this
project
is
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
sir,
but
this
project
is
way
more
far
along
than
what
we
just
looked
at
this.
This
project
is
a
perfect
timing
to
get
in
and
help
push
at
the
same
time,
but
here
we
would
probably
be
trying
to
catch
up
to
them
correct
to
be
able
to
help.
K
But
if
the
committee
would
be
just
improv,
informational,
wise
I
think
there's
both
the
Laredo
and
the
tamolitas.
Can
these
already
put
together
to
work
on
the
project
so
they're
working
already
together
on
on
the
construction
fence
and
everything
so
I
think
it's
more
for
information
right
and
updates
than
push
so.
A
E
B
M
M
P
Counterparts
that
are
part
of
this
working
group
are
actually
as
involved
or
more
involved
than
they
have
been.
She
was
going
to
actually
clarify
that.
So,
if
that
piece
is
already
there,
you
don't
have
to
replicate
it
or
duplicate
it,
but
if
it's
missing
this
would
be
the
group
that
can
actually
help
integrate
themselves
into
this
working
group.
It's
on
the
American
side
like
that's,
not
something
I
can
do
right,
but
but
and
if
there's
a
gap,
that's
where
I
think
this
group
can
help
well.
M
D
At
this
point
at
this
point,
we're
we're
moving
forward
with
the
expansion
of
World
Trade.
The
presidential
program
application
has
been
submitted.
The
design
is
is
being
worked
on.
We
have
the
interagency
group
meeting
with
the
folks
on
the
U.S
side
and
we
have
the
same
with
the
folks
on
the
Mexican
side.
I
know
you
all.
Thank
you.
You
were
very
instrumental
in
getting
these
individuals
to
make
contact
with
us.
The
mou
between
the
governor
and
the
mayor
has
been
executed.
D
That
is,
is
done
so
we're
moving
forward
with
the
expansion
for
World
Trade
now
going
back
to
the
Columbia
expansion.
This
is
something
new.
The
city
still
needs
to
enter
into
contract
with
someone
so
that
we
can
begin
the
preparation
of
the
presidential
permit
application
and
the
follow
the
same
process
that
we
did
for
the
expansion
of
World
Trade.
D
So
we
can't
run
on
Parallel,
because
we
are
way
ahead
of
the
game
for
the
expansion
of
World
Trade
and
now
we
need
to
start
the
same
process
with
Colombia
to
expand
the
bridge
and
then
work
with
CBP
so
that
if,
if
the
I
guess
the
addition
of
more
Lanes
on
the
bridge
span,
what
infrastructure
will
CBP
need
for
processing
in
their
facilities
so
possibly
also
look
into
entering
into
a
donation
acceptance,
project
and
work
with
CBP.
So
we
will
get
all
those
preliminary
meetings
in
place
to
begin
the
preparation
for
Colombia.
K
Think
I
mean
if
the
relevant
it
could
be
by
by
email
or.
I
K
H
K
I
D
Same
is
it
going
to
start
so
I
should
be
I
know.
Jim
King
is
probably
wrapping
up
we're,
starting
with
entering
the
month
of
September.
This
is
around
the
time
that
we
get
there.
It
would
be
the
August
update
so
I
as
soon
as
I
receive
it
from
them.
I
email
it
to
the
committee
members
and
have
them
review
the
the
situation
of
where
we're
at
with
the
expansion
now
assisting
in
getting
the
presidential
permit.
Things
are
rolling,
Congressman,
Cuellar,
Senator
Cruz
came
in.
D
They
already
have
the
legislation
in
place
through
the
National
Defense
authorization
act.
That's
in
place.
We
have
the
city
lobbyists
taking
Gump.
It's
also
they've
been
instrumental
in
assisting
and
getting
us
the
approval
for
the
presidential
permit.
So
things
are
moving
along,
but
I
would
gladly
provide
you,
whatever
information
I
have
so
that
you
all
are
aware.
Do.
N
If
I
may,
this
is
something
that
that
is
in
our
report.
That's
being
finalized,
I
reviewed
it
last
night
as
a
matter
of
fact
for
for
report
in
August
to
to
event
for
the
project,
not
only
World
Trade
bridge,
but
there
there
are
two
bills
that
are
actually
pending
right
now.
N
One
of
them
is
the
the
National
Defense
authorization
act
that
Senator
Cruz
was
successful
in
inserting
language
into
and
it
what
it
basically
says
is
there
are
bridges
in
Texas
and
he
names
Laredo
as
one
city
he
names
equal
pass
is
another
city
and,
and
the
thing
about
the
language
is,
it
says,
multiple
bridges
in
Laredo.
It
says
they
bridge
in
Eagle
Pass,
in
a
bridge
in
Cameron
County
that
have
submitted
presidential
permit
applications.
What
that
bill
also
says
is
when
this
bill
passes
and
is
signed
by
the
president.
N
N
The
president
has
30
days,
I
believe
after
that,
to
yes
say
yes
or
no
for
the
president's
permit,
so
in
theory,
there's
about
a
90-day
window
from
the
time
the
bill
passes
to
when
we
would
expect
to
receive
the
World
Trade
Bridge
presidential
permit
right
now
that
bill
has
been
passed
by
the
Senate,
but
there's
a
separate
bill
that
has
been
passed
by
the
house.
That
Bill
will
have
to
go
to
conference
committee
between
now
and
I'm,
going
to
say,
Christmas
time,
they've
been
on
their
recess
up
until
I
think
they're
still
in
recess.
N
But
hopefully
the
conference
committee
will
get
back
between
now
and
Thanksgiving.
That
bill
will
be
reconciled,
can
be
passed
by
both
houses
again
officially
and
sent
to
the
president
and
and
we're
believing
that
that
language
is
going
to
stay
in
there,
because
it
involves
no
funding.
It
involves
nothing
other
than
or
organizing
the
procedure
and
telling
the
executive
branch
to
do
things
they're
already
supposed
to
do
and
telling
them
to
get
them
done
now.
N
D
N
Congressman
Congressman
Cuellar
also
has
language
which
is
kind
of
now,
the
next
step,
if
you
will,
that
he's
put
in
the
Appropriations
bill
for
basically
the
Department
of
State
and
some
other
agencies.
That
is
also
moving
forward
and
it
basically
implements
for
the
next
go
round
and
if
you
will
this
same
procedure
to
take
out
to
eliminate
what
happened
with
this
Administration,
where
they
put
the
environmental
clearance
as
a
mandate
before
they
would
even
look
at
your
permit
so
that
bill
again
is
only
coming
out
of
the
house
right
now.
N
I
believe
the
Senate
also
has
another
separate
bill
and
they
will
have
to
go
to
conference
committee
and
be
passed
sometime,
hopefully
between
now
and
January.
That
particular
bill
is
actually
holding
up
a
lot
of
things
because
it's
not
being
passed
and
that
keeps
GSA
CBP
and
other
folks
from
traveling
and
being
at
meetings
and
so
forth
and
so
on.
So
that's
actually
an
authorization
act
that
we
hope
to
be
passed
pretty
quickly.
N
When
the
bill
is
passed
and
December
31st
2024
shall
receive
this
same
treatment
so
that
the
City
of
Laredo
was
able
to
work
through
this
working
group
and
and
gets
a
consultant
on
board,
makes
a
preparation
of
the
application
and
submits
it
between
today,
tomorrow,
the
next
day
and
December
31st
of
next
calendar
year,
it
should
receive
the
same
treatment
so
there's
a
window
of
opportunity
for
Colombia
to
occur
much
more
rapidly
than
it
took
us
with
World
Trade
bridge.
To
get
to
this
point,
and
the
other
benefit
is
instead
of
Nova.
N
Leon
is
already
at
the
table,
whereas
it
took
us
a
while
for
us
to
get
the
next
Governor
from
the
state
of
Tamaulipas
and
work
through
that
process,
so
get
our
our
sponsor
put
together
for
World
Trade
Bridge.
So
things
are
coming
together,
pretty
well
for
Colombia,
and
but
there
is
a
time
limit
associated
with
it
that
if
you
didn't
know
about
it,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
about
it.
E
K
N
N
Through
that
process-
and
we
call
a
module,
but
there
are
different
areas
of
study
it.
Doesn't
it's
not
beneficial
to
do
the
whole
study
and
then
submit
the
whole
report,
and
we
found
it
to
be
much
more
efficient
to
set
a
schedule
which
we've
done
and
we've
just
adjusted
it
again
that
TxDOT
and
the
Federal
Highway
Administration,
know
they're
going
to
receive
these
modules
and
we're
submitting
some
every
month
so
that
they're
reviewed
they
have
a
time
limit.
They
have
agreed
to
to
review
it,
send
us
comments
and
work
through
those.
N
So
the
process
is
moving
forward
and
we
are
starting
our
schedule.
It's
not
stopping
we're
about
18
months
away
from
where
we
anticipate
having
a
Fonzi,
which
is
the
key
or
the
end
result
of
the
environmental
clearance
process.
That's
what
turns
loose
of
the
final
permitting
and
then
allows
you
to
advertise
for
bids
and
go
to
construction
so
in
between
that
in
the
next
18
months,
we're
also
going
to
be
starting.
We
need
to
come
to
the
city,
council
and
you're
going
to
get
approval
to
do
the
construction
plan,
the
PS
and
epac.
N
F
All
right,
so
maybe
we
can
discuss
this
idea
with
Colombia
in
mind
and
knowing
that
we
were
trying
to
get
a
permission,
we
want
to
go
towards
expansion
in
Columbia,
possibly
and
no
one
that
it
takes.
Apparently,
if
it's
been
two
years
since
I've
been
on
the
committee-
and
we
still
have
18
months
to
go
before
you
can
expect
that
study
to
be
finished,
that's
three
and
a
half
years.
F
Maybe
you
can
sit
and
help
us
to
understand
why
it
takes
four
years
to
get
a
permit.
So
we
can
plan.
E
It
I
say
that
that's
I
say
that
that's
what
we
were
asking
for
initially
is.
He
can
sit
down
with
us
and
tell.
P
N
Would
be
welcome
to
give
you
an
update
because
we
hope
to
have
more
information
to
update
on
World
Trade
Bridge.
Yes,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
have
another
meeting,
and
there
are
members
in
our
working
group
with
the
state
of
Tamaulipas
that
are
on
this
committee
too.
So
we're
not
necessarily
we're
not
trying
to
do
anything
in
a
vacuum.
N
We
would
certainly
provide
some
input
if
you
will,
in
response
to
questions
that
the
committee
may
have
relative
to
Colombia
it's
another
important
project,
but
there
is
a
timeline
that
that's
right.
There.
B
N
O
We
hadn't
started
it
at
all
right,
so
we'd
be
starting
again
from
scratch.
Can
you
refresh
the
Committees
with
the
process
like
time
frame
for
us
to
get
the
study
started
to
get
to
the
point,
and
then
I
mean
not
the
whole
process
just
quickly
right?
If
you
can
just
tell
us
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
started
and
then
how
much
money
we're
looking
at
to
start?
What
like?
What
is
it
going
to
cost
us
more.
D
Or
less
okay,
we
need
to.
E
O
O
A
We
know
the
whole
process.
We
even
have
the
consultants
for
the
Mexican
side,
because
I
mean
just
for
everybody's
knowledge.
It's
very
different.
The
state
of
tamaulipers
they're,
going
with
the
with
the
military
I,
don't
think
Colombia
is
going
to
do
that.
So
I
think
Colombia
can
be
even
a
little
faster
than.
H
A
D
B
D
It
work
with
CBP
to
do
a
donation
acceptance.
You
know
if
the
city's
gonna
fund
it
I
mean
I,
don't
for
cgsa
funding
this,
so
the
city
is
going
to
fund
the
facilities
for
CBP
GSA,
then
we
would
need
to
meet
with
them
and
and
hear
their
needs
so
that
we
can
do
all
of
this
together
and
and
adequately
so
that
once
the
construction
of
the
bridge
plan
is
complete,
their
facilities
can
be
suitable
to
receive
the
volume
of
traffic
that
is
anticipated.
O
Yeah
I'm,
just
my
concern
is
you
know,
the
cost
of
a
bridge
is
very
expensive
right
and
so,
let's
just
say
we're
facing
two
expansions.
O
O
A

C
B
A
The
updates
all
right
motion
carries
next
meeting
is
October
the
11th,
this
Limon
October
11th.
We
want
to
write
it
down
and
I'll
make
the
motions.
