Council approves payment of invoices and asks for workforce-lease review

Council considered invoices from the Crockett Economic and Industrial Development Corporation and discussed related issues about the workforce office lease and the tenant's water bills. Speaker 5 said the workforce office is the only tenant and pays roughly $450 per month in rent; Speaker 4 noted the tenant's water bill was nearly equal to the rent and requested the lease be reviewed.

"I make a motion that we approve the payment of the invoices, and then I request on the next agenda to look at the lease agreement with, the workforce," Speaker 3 said. Speaker 6 seconded the motion and the council voted to approve payment of the invoices. Several councilmembers asked staff to place the lease review on the economic development board agenda.

The payment of invoices was approved at this meeting; any changes to the workforce lease or utilities were referred for future board consideration.
