Status update by RMA regarding the development of SH 365 in Western Hidalgo County including the following:
1. Status of the Vehicle Registration Bond Sale
Pilar Rodriguez, Executive Director Regional Mobility Authority, stated the Board of Directors has approved the Bond Documents, the Trustee and Underwriting Syndicate. On October 24, there will be a Bond Rating at the Mcallen Convention Center, Board Room #2, from 8 am - 1 pm. They anticipate going to market in early November.
2. Interlocal Agreement between HCRMA and City of Mission (from Anzalduas Hwy (FM396) to Conway Ave. (FM 1016)
Louie Jones, Project Manager Regional Mobility Authority, briefly disclosed the progress of the 365 Project. In the environmental process they are looking toward clearance sometime in May 2014. Phase 1 appears to begin in the latter part of 2015.
Dennis Burleson, Chairman Regional Mobility Authority, began by thanking the Court for the implementation of the additional Vehicle Registration Fee for transportation improvements. He stated the funding is in place and they are waiting for environmental clearance to begin the construction for Phase 1. Phase 2, he noted, is more expensive due to the two overpasses that are planned. With the help of TXDOT, the projects can both be completed. Commissioner Flores asked Mr. Burleson why the Interlocal Agreement with Mission turned down. Mr. Burleson stated the Board had concerns on how the project will continue running East. The bond issuance had some money available for IBTC, but are short 20 million dollars to keep their commitment to IBTC. Commissioner Joseph Palacios commented that there needs to be many points of clarification. Communication in partnerships is vital to get the projects moving in the right direction. Mr. Burleson believes the board needs more information to be able to reconsider the project as far as funding is concerned. Commissioner Hector “Tito” Palacios stated to Mr. Burleson that there should be no gap in the loop, if constructed. Mr. Burleson commented that if there is not enough congestion, it may only be possible to build frontage roads first or a truck corridor only or find a comprehensive partner to assist in funding. He stated that the RMA would prefer to choose the engineering firms to work on the project versus Mission, Donna or Pharr choosing them.
State Representative Armando Martinez spoke in regards the funds lacking for IBTC. He notified the Court of his meeting with Chairman Houghtan, TXDOT, and stated Mr. Houghtan committed to an additional 25 million of funding. His concern is that if money is moved around in various projects and delaying other projects, it will affect all projects all together.
Mr. David Guerra, member of the RMA, was selected by the five voting members that were against the Interlocal Agreement with Mission. He stated that the IBTC is vital for making the toll road financially viable at its first years of existence. The reason the agreement was denied was due to deciphering what project was priority. He noted that the issues are economics, vitality and, money and that it does not relate with who wants to be involved in the projects.

1. Status update regarding the Delinquent Fees and Fines Program
Ray Salazar, Department of Budget and Management, presented a slideshow displaying the major developments that have occured to reduce outstanding fees owed to the County. He stated there has been a 33% increase in collected debts from last year to this year as a result of all departments working together. The collection has been successful due to the denial of vehicle registration and drivers licenses. The Tax Office plans create Interlocal Agreements with various cities to include them in the program by denying vehicle registration to those who owe fines to them, as well. The Scofflaw has been successful for the Justices of the Peace; therefore, it would be important to include District and County Courts.
Virginia Townsend commented that collecting money owed is important; but, fairness is key.
Renan Ramirez, IT Department, mentioned that it is not yet clear who, other than the J.P.'s, can collect the Scofflaw fee and they will determine if the Collection Department or a third-party can collect the fee. They will have more information at a later date.
2. Discussion, consideration and approval to impose a $20.00 Scofflaw fee to District Courts and County Courts at Law cases with outstanding balances over (90) days.
On motion by COMMISSIONER PCT. 4, JOSEPH PALACIOS, seconded by COMMISSIONER PCT. 1, A.C. CUELLAR, JR., the Court made a UNANIMOUS vote of approval.
