Dale Garner from Alamo 1 gave a short presentation on the demolition quote that Alamo 1 prepared for us. Dale explained that the demolition could not proceed until an asbestos inspection was completed and that the inspection and demolition could not be completed by the same company under Texas Law.
Staff presented the board with a quote from Enprotec/Hibbs & Todd from Abilene for the asbestos inspection in the amount of $1,500.00.

- Discuss and Consider: Purchasing a storage container for the Julian Morgan Museum.
Staff presented the board with a quote from Campbell Containers in Clyde for new and used 40 foot containers to store the items from the Julian Morgan Museum. The board was collectively concerned about a current City Ordinance that states that there are to be no storage containers in the City of Tye and asked staff to work with the city to see if we could obtain a waiver for a storage container.
Motion made by Barbara Kotrlik to table the item until an agreement can be reached with the city. Ken Arnold seconded the motion. Motion carried.
- Discuss and Consider: Request for financial assistance from Cody Morrow and Randy Roberts.
Cody Morrow gave a short presentation on the property that he bought on Market Street here in Tye. He explained that he plans to open a Self Storage business with covered parking for boats and rv’s.
Staff explained to the board that the request for financial assistance is for a sewer line to be run to their property and that the closest sewer tap is on the other side of the railroad tracks and that it wouldn’t be feasible to work with Union Pacific on this project. Danette Dunlap mentioned that there is an existing sewer tap on the same side of Market Street that Mr. Morrow’s property is on. However, it is around 1,700 feet away from his property. The board collectively agreed that running a sewer line to Mr. Morrow’s property would be beneficial to TEDCO/TIDCO and to the City of Tye because the new sewer line would run along other commercial property for sale.
Motion made by Vada Childers to direct staff to obtain quotes for the sewer line. Barbara Kotrlik seconded the motion. Motion carried.
- Discuss and Consider: Nominate and elect officers for both TEDCO and TIDCO for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
After some discussion by the board, motion made by Vada Childers to elect Danette Dunlap as President, Kenny Dry as Vice-President, and Barbara Kotrlik as Secretary/Treasurer. Barbara Kotrlik seconded the motion. Motion carried
- Adjournment: Motion made Barbara Kotrlik to adjourn at 7:07 PM. Ken Arnold seconded the motion. Motion carried.
