Go Windcrest Texas

Monday, Oct 1, 2018, 10 AM there is a special City Council meeting to select a new City Attorney.  Nothing on the agenda indicates how many or who is being considered.  Two council members could not be present, nor the Mayor.  Therefore, the 3 outgoing Councilman will select a City Attorney.

     The Sept 13, 2018  WEDC agenda has this   " 5. Consider and take possible action on paying off loan from the City of Windcrest ($145,000)."    Windcrest can surely use additional street funds, so the surprise windfall of $145,000 is welcome.    The real issue is.  Why is the existence of this Loan not reflected in the budgets?  When was this loan made? Consider this:  September 7 2018, WEDC President  Sue Alexander signs the deed of WEDC property over to IWanta Oil, LLC.  Then  on Sept 13, 2018 a never before disclosed Loan from the City of Windcrest appears on the WEDC Agenda with action pending to pay the $145,000 loan back. Why is this loan not mentioned anywhere in the budgets?  Does it really exists?  Not even the auditors made mention of this WEDC DEBT.  T his do es not pass the smell test folks.

  The proposed Street Bond for $7.4 Million will total $11 Million over the 20 years.  That's nearly $4 Million in Interest that could be used for Streets.  Couple that with the FACT only Seven (7) Streets are in the proposal.   About 2006 Windcrest approved an Interest and Sinking Fund to pay for street repairs, which included ALL streets in Windcrest.  All streets except major arteries received Slurry Seal (also called Chip Seal) and the main street received overlay.   Below are the 7 streets identified in the report with the projected cost of $7.4 Million, that will cost , $11 Million, over 20 Years.  Note: some streets get portions of each type of repair.
