CONSENT AGENDA: At most meetings, the Commissioners Court establishes a Consent Agenda. It consists of those Agenda Items which are routine or non-controversial, and which neither a member of the Commissioners court has asked to be pulled for discussion. Once the Commissioners Court has established the Consent Agenda, Agenda Items included on it will be voted upon in one vote, and will not be discussed separately unless requested by the County Judge or Commissioners. The consent agenda has been created in order to give constituents the opportunity to view any and all pertinent backup information with reference to any item in the agenda. The objective of the consent agenda is for all Webb County constituents to be familiar with everyday county business and to demonstrate the transparency and fairness of this Commissioners Court. The following Agenda Items are of a routine nature, and the Commissioners Court has received supporting materials for consideration. All of these Agenda Items will be passed with one vote without being discussed separately, unless a member of the Commissioners Court or the public requests that a particular Agenda Item be discussed. If so, that Agenda Item will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed as part of the regular Agenda at the appropriate time. One vote will approve the remaining items on the Consent Agenda.

Discussion and possible action to enter into a non-binding resolution in support of City of Laredo Tax Incremental Reinvestment Zone 2, also known as, The Coves at Winfield (hereinafter TIRZ 2), to consider what level, if any, of participation in the TIRZ 2, and to appoint a Webb County representative to the TIRZ 2 board to negotiate the terms of an interlocal agreement between Webb County and the participating entities, as well level of participation, and authorizing the County Judge to sign any relevant documents. Any action taken today does not bind the County to actually participate in the TIRZ 2 but merely allows for the negotiation of the County’s participation, if any, in the TIRZ 2. No agreement shall be final and binding upon Webb County unless and until placed back on the agenda and approved during regular session by Webb County Commissioners Court.
