Judge Dillards says that he got an email from the Chief Appraiser, who said that the State Comptroller said that our taxes are too low, the values are too low. It willr not affect us, buti it will affect our schools. We have a year to gett them up, so property values county-wide are going to have to go up, according to the State Comptroller.

The minutes state the commissioners approving to sendi in our $200,000 lump sum payment to TCDRS, buti it does not state approval for the 30% COLA. We voted on it, buti it did not make iti in the minutes. Because of that, the COLA willr not be effective until January 1, 2024.

Çounty. Reinvestment Zone-Matterhorn, Express for purposes of tax abatement. to provide economic development within the county, Open for Public, Discussion. Mr.. Bass spoke to Commissioners andp public present. Thisi is a tax abatement, agreement. The first order of business in ai tax abatement. agreement is to create. a. reinvestment zone. AF Reinvestment zone isf for purposes of development int the county. It gives the property a status that entitles itt to participate int tax abatement. The improvements tot that property are all thati is eligible, the land itself remains asi it's valued, it keeps its appraised value. Thei improvements are taxed and are subject tot tax abatement. Thep purpose of creating a reinvestment zone is to bring economic development tot the county that might not otherwise come to the county. The county is free to negotiate the terms oft that abatement agreement. We have done that int this case. We have three documents with the packet. Therei is at tax abatement agreement, a road use agreement, and the creation of the zone. Each oft those documents is tagged for signatures. Anyone who wishes to speak for or against the creation of the reinvestment: zone can be heard today. This reinvestment zone is small, only one parcel of land, located in the Northwest part of the county. The property is 419 acres int that one block, Abstract 1809, butt the compressor station itself will not occupy all 419 acres; it's only just ai few acres oft that large tract. The Matterhorn Pipeline will be coming through the county, and thats station is perceived to be a convenient place fora compressor station necessary to push the gas on through from the Permian Basin tot the coast. The abatement agreement calls for 4 years of abatement at 40%, at which time the abatement would go away and the property would return tot thet tax roll as its full value. The PILOT payment that's being paid via $120,000 ay year for each oft the 4 years. Questions about the project: Commissioner Bradshaw would like to know what the road use agreement says. Mr. Bass: the road use agreement is like other agreements that we have entered into int the past. It provides for, ifthere arei ini fact roads that are affected byt this agreement, that is subject to some question. The road use agreement calls ont the developer to armor up roads at their cost. There isas $100,000 contingency fee that they put up and if there is a roadt that needs tol be repaired andi they don't repair it after notice we havet the right to go and repair it and pull money out of that fund for that purpose. Commissioner Bradshaw: how long does that contingency money stay there. Mr. Bass: Through the construction oft the project. At the end of that time, ift there is money lefti in that fund, they are supposed to replenish iti ifith has gone down. If there was ever an occasion thatt they! hadt to use that money, they are supposed to put money backi into it. And att the end oft the construction phase wheni itg goes online, they can ask for that money back. Only the county roads that are county roads today would be effected by the agreement. If there's any other internal roads that they develop or build, that would be their project to do with whatt they want.. Any other questions? Commissioner Dillard: So, ift they cut my road to lay this pipe through, itv will be put back as good or better than itv was? Mr. Bass: Yes, sir. Youl have the right, if they cut through the road or bore under it, to require an additional permit for that  comments or questions.  purpose.
