<br />Jamison had spoken with Mr. Mullus this morning but he had not gotten back <br />with him. <br /> <br />Mr. Vest said he has been doing some investigating on Chapter 380, 381, and on <br />the GLO Program to find out more on that. He advised that Chapter 380 does not <br />cover the schools. Mr. Vest advised that if they do the GLO Program all of the <br />real and personal property will all be in the name of the State; therefore, there will <br />be no ad valorem tax. Mr. Vest said that Mr. Mullus said there would be a Pilot <br />Program, which is a payment in lieu of taxes. <br /> <br />Mr. Vest told the Board that the small distribution center that they have been <br />working with is still an active possibility. He said there were four local builders <br />that are working with them on the building and he is just waiting on the PEDC to <br />get the water and sewer to the site and will then be ready to go. <br /> <br />Mr. Vest gave the Board a new brochure that the Texas Economic Development <br />Sales Tax Association has just put out. The brochure explains what is going on <br />with the sales tax for Economic Development. He advised that they did that as <br />a proactive step because there has been a lot of misinformation about Mark <br />Homer's Bill 2912. <br /> <br />President Wall advised that there will be no action required on Agenda Item <br />Number 5.A., awarding the bid and authorizing the execution of a contract for the <br />furnishing and delivery of labor, materials, and equipment and for performing all <br />work required for construction and installation of water and wastewater facilities <br />at the Paris Industrial Park, and Agenda Item Number 5 .B., awarding the bid and <br />authorizing the execution of a contract for the furnishing and delivery of labor, <br />materials, and equipment and for performing all work required for construction <br />and installation of paving and drainage facilities at the Paris Industrial Park. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vest passed out a tally sheet of the bids received for these projects for the <br /> Board Members review, but suggested that the engineer's input be obtained on the <br /> bids before they are awarded. <br /> <br /> <br />
