WHY DON'T WE JUST DO A DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW TO APPROVE THE ENGAGEMENT A FORMER TECH, TEXAS SECRETARY OF STATE WROTE PABLO'S, UH, NOW WITH CROSS NATIONAL ADVISORY PARTNERS TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT CONSULTATION TO THE CORPORATION.
SO JERRY, IF I MAY, UM, UH, ROLANDO FIELDS STEP UP TO THE WINDOW PABLO'S, UM, ROLANDO AND I HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE LAW SCHOOL.
UH, HE, AND, UH, I PARTICIPATED WHEN, WHEN HE WAS AT THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE AND ANNETTE, A STATEWIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UM, PROMOTION, UH, WHERE, UH, WE ACTUALLY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO FLY AROUND TEXAS AND TRY TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS WHILE OVER FROM LUFKIN TO, UH, GALVESTON, TO, UM, EL PASO ON, ON HOW TO DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THE BOARD CHAIR AND BOB AND I WERE DISCUSSING SOME OF THE MORE INTRICATE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE BEEN FACING WITH REGARDS TO FINDING WAYS TO, UM, MAKE THINGS WORK QUICKLY AND IDENTIFYING PRIORITIES AND, UM, UM, UH, MR. PABLO'S, HIS NAME CAME UP TO THE SURFACE.
AND SO THE CHAIR WANTED ME TO BRING HIM TO THE, UH, BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION, UH, FOR HIM TO BE ENGAGED IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
[00:05:01]
CALL ON HIM WHEN NECESSARY.BUT FRANKLY, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD HIM FULL TIME, BUT, UH, IT'S A ROLANDO IF YOU'D LIKE TO JUST SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
THANK YOU, GEORGE, MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, GOOD EVENING MEMBERS, UH, ROLANDO POLOS, UM, A CEO OF A CROSS NATIONAL ADVISORY PARTNERS.
WE'RE A SMALL ADVISORY FIRM THAT FOCUSES ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
WE HAVE CLIENTS, WE HELP CLIENTS FROM, UH, PRACTICALLY ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO WANT TO COME TO TEXAS AND WE TAKE TEXAS COMPANIES ABROAD.
WE HELP, UH, ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE LOOKING TO ATTRACT INVESTMENT AND PARTICULARLY RETAIN IT AND HELP IT EXPAND.
AND SO, UH, I'M HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY.
GEORGE REACHED OUT TO ME, UH, AS HE SAID, WE, YOU KNOW, UH, DURING MY TIME AS SECRETARY STAY, WE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE STATE TRYING TO PROMOTE, UH, THE IDEA OF, UH, MAKING COMMUNITIES ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTMENT AND ENSURING THAT THE COMPANIES THAT ARE ALREADY INVESTED THAT STAY THERE AND GROW.
AND SO, UM, I BELIEVE YOU'RE IN, YOU'RE IN AN ENVIABLE POSITION HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL TOWN, BY THE WAY, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CITY HALL, CONGRATULATIONS, UH, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN, IN AUSTIN, IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WITH THIS CORRIDOR THAT STRETCHES ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO MONTEREY MEXICO.
UM, I THINK WE HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP IMPROVE THE SITUATION OF THE CITIZENS HERE, AND I'M HAPPY TO PARTICIPATE.
UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, GEORGE, UM, THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT AND, UM, I'M HAPPY TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE.
UM, MR. CARLOS, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT, UM, I DO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. PABLOS.
I'VE KNOWN HER FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.
UH, HE WAS AS MENTIONED SECRETARY OF STATE, BUT HE'S GOT A DEEP, UH, BACKGROUND ALSO IN VARIOUS OTHER APPOINTED POSITIONS, UH, THROUGH VARIOUS TEXAS GOVERNORS.
BUT, UH, HIS LAW PRACTICE HAS ENABLED HIM TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND EVEN FURTHER, PRIMARILY IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
UH, I THINK THAT ONE THING THAT IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF THE TEXAS, THE TEXAS SECRETARY OF STATE KIND OF SOMETIMES JUST GET SADDLED WITH ELECTION INTEGRITY AND THE VOTING, BUT THEY DO SO MUCH MORE.
THEY, THEY PROVIDE, UH, THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARM, UM, FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS ALSO, WHICH IS KIND OF AN UNKNOWN THING THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF.
THEY RECEIVE ALL THE BUSINESS FILINGS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESS COMPONENT IN THAT PARTICULAR OFFICE THAT, UH, TO BE, I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST ALWAYS FAMILIAR WITH.
AND SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE'S COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
UH, I DID TALK TO HER BUDDY LEWIS AND TOLD HIM THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY MEET HER TONIGHT.
SO HE DID WHAT I WISH SENT HIS BEST TO YOU.
SO, UM, BUT IN THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, UH, WITH BOB AND GEORGE, I THINK WE'RE AT A CROSSROADS HERE, AS IT WAS MENTIONED, UH, OF NOT SIMPLY TAKING A, WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE NORMAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PATH, BUT CHARTING A NEW PATH.
AND HE GOT UP DEVELOPMENT BY EXPANDED OUT EVEN MORE SO.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.
AND THAT'S THE REASON I BROUGHT OUR IN TALKING WITH GEORGE, I'VE ASKED HER, YOU KNOW, MR. BELLOWS TO COME FORWARD BEFORE US TO BE AHEAD OF THAT, TO BRING HIM ON, TO RETAIN HIM AND ALLOW HIM TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUT EVEN A WIDER NET FOR US IN BRINGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INTO THE STATE OF TEXAS.
SO CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, THE GREAT THINGS, UM, THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IN TEXAS.
ONE OF THOSE IS I'M A FORMER COMMISSIONER OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON WITH UTILITIES.
UM, I THINK THAT AS YOU TRY TO DEVELOP YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL NEED, UM, UH, SOME KEEN INSIGHT.
AND I THINK I COULD BRING THAT TO THE TABLE ALSO AS A FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE TEXAS RACING COMMISSION, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE REGULATED A DOG AND HORSE RACING IN TEXAS.
SO THE REGULATORY, UH, EXPERIENCE THAT I CAN BRING TO THE TABLE TO HELP YOU ALL, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY WORK WITH GOVERNMENT, BUT ALSO TRY TO FIGURE OUT, UM, WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT THAT INVESTMENT IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT.
AND FINALLY, I USED TO SIT IN YOUR SEAT.
I, I STARTED THE BORDER PLUGS IN LINES OUT IN EL PASO, TEXAS.
AND SO, UH, SO I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOURS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR US ABOUT LOWE'S THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ASK COMMENTS, BOB GEORGE, UM, WE HAVE A, A AND I WAS TRYING TO PULL IT UP RIGHT NOW.
IT'S LIKE WE PULL THROUGH, BUT, UM, WE HAVE A, UH, A LETTER AGREEMENT, UM, TO, TO BE CONSIDERED THE LETTER AGREEMENT IN SHORT PROVIDES, UH, FOR MR. POLOS TO PROVIDE A SET NUMBER OF HOURS PER MONTH, UM, THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO US AND HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS WITH REGARDS TO STRATEGY WITH REGARDS TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GROWTH, WITH REGARDS TO, UH, UM, IDENTIFICATION OF, OF, UM,
[00:10:01]
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR THE BOARD.AND THEN IF THERE IS A PARTICULAR PROJECT OR ISSUE THAT WE WOULD BE NEEDING HIM FOR, IN ADDITION TO THOSE BENEFITS, UH, WE WOULD WORK ON A, UH, ON AN APPROPRIATE EITHER PAY STRUCTURE OR OUR, UH, UH, SCOPE FOR THAT WORK, UM, AS NEEDED.
UM, AND THAT WAY, UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, TAP HIS EXPERIENCE.
UM, HE WOULDN'T TAKE ME TO CHINA OR JAPAN, EVEN THOUGH I WANTED TO GO.
UH, BUT, UH, HIS INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE I THINK IS, IS REALLY BENEFICIAL IN A NUMBER OF AREAS.
UM, YOU KNOW, HE WAS, UH, INVOLVED WHEN I DID BASE CITY, UH, IN OUR SPACE CITY FOR THE SAY BAY CITY.
UM, HE, HE TOLD ME MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT GOING ON IN TAYLOR THAN, THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE KNEW BECAUSE OF THE ASSOCIATION, UH, BEFORE IT BECAME PUBLIC, UM, BECAUSE OF THE, UH, UM, THE ISSUES AND THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FOSTER.
I THINK THAT, THAT HE WILL BE A STRATEGIC, UM, UH, ELEMENT FOR, UH, OUR, UH, OUR GROUP AND GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN OTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATE CORPORATION.
THE REGION DOES NOT HAVE THAT LEVEL OF REPRESENTATION.
BOB, THE OTHER COMMENTS, I THINK, AS YOU SAID EARLIER, THE WORK HABIT AND MEET, AND IN TERMS OF THE STATE, YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET, THANK YOU.
IS THIS AGREEMENT BEEN SENT TO US? NO, NO, I'VE SEEN IT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, THOSE COSTS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION RELATED TO THE PROJECTS, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK OUT.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO RESERVE QUESTIONS WHERE WHEN YOU COME BACK OUT IN PUBLIC, IF WE NEED TO, WE MAY BE ABLE TO, UH, VISIT A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCERNING THE ENGAGEMENT OF, UH, LEGAL SERVICES AND EXECUTIVE SESSION ALSO.
YEAH, FOR ME, I MEAN, YOUR, YOUR CREDENTIALS, UM, ARE EASILY TO, TO JUSTIFY THE THINGS THAT WE NEED.
I THINK IT ALL WILL COME DOWN TO WHAT THE AGREEMENT SAYS, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST.
UM, SOME THINGS WE CAN AFFORD THE CADILLAC PLAN ON, AND SOME THINGS WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO, AND WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE CONTROL THE COSTS BECAUSE THERE IS A SOMEWHAT OF A, UM, UH, A HEIGHTENED SENSITIVITY TO SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
UM, WHEN YOU STRIKE OUT EVERYBODY'S COMPLAINTS, RIGHT? IF YOU, IF YOU HIT THE HOME RUN, NO ONE EVER WORRIES ABOUT THE DETAILS.
AND SO, UM, WE HAD A FEW STRIKE OUTS, SO WE JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE FOR MY, IN MY VIEW THAT WE JUST HAVE A GOOD PROCESS IN PLACE.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT ATTORNEYS AND DIFFERENT STAFF NOW THAT I THINK WILL HELP US ENSURE THAT.
BUT, UM, YEAH, FOR ME, IT'S JUST SEEING THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS.
AND IF I MAY, UH, THE, THE WAY WE'VE STRUCTURED THIS, UH, IT IS BASED ON THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE WITH BOTH THE CHAIRMAN AND WITH GEORGE.
AND SO YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT THE WAY THAT, UH, WE'VE COME UP WITH, WITH THE RATE IS, IS EXTREMELY BELOW MY GOING RATE.
UH, I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS.
AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND YOU LET ME KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, IS AGREEABLE WITH YOU, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT IS A DEEPLY BELOW MY, MY REGULAR RATES.
I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY.
UH, AND LIKE I SAID, I WANT TO PROMOTE THE CORRIDOR.
THE CORRIDOR TO ME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, INCLUDING INTO MEXICO, RIGHT? ALL THE MANUFACTURING THAT'S DOWN THERE, AND YOU HAVE THE, YOU HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
UM, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS ARE IN PLACE.
SO, UM, FOR PURPOSES OF THE PUBLIC, THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT INCLUDES, UM, UH, SUPPORT IN CONSULTATION WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ADVISORY SERVICES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC ADVICE, PROJECT GUIDANCE, AND RECOMMENDATION DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND IDENTIFYING KEY OPPORTUNITIES AND INVESTMENT ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND EXPANSION OF, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
AND W WE GET ALL THAT FOR THE MONTHLY RETAINER AMOUNT OF $4,800 A MONTH.
AND AT THE FLAT RATE, UH, WITH REGARD TO THOSE SERVICES, UH, EACH MONTH AT THAT AMOUNT, AND THEN IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS A PROJECT OF WHICH WE NEED SIGNIFICANT, UH, NEGOTIATION OR, OR, UH, UM, INVOLVEMENT, THEN WE WOULD DISCUSS THOSE COSTS AT THE TIME AND COORDINATE IT A DEAL FOR THAT PROJECT.
AND BY PROJECT THERE BEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, UH, I GUESS WE JUST GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
