Whitehouse EDC: financials missing from packet; sales tax flat; executive session yields no action
Summary
EDC staff apologized for absent financial statements in the board packet, reported sales tax collections were roughly flat (down about $4,000 or 1% year‑over‑year), and the board recessed into and returned from an executive session with no action reported.
At the start of administrative reports on Jan. 16, the Whitehouse Economic Development Corporation’s staff apologized that financial statements were not included in the meeting packet and said she would distribute them after the meeting.
Susan, an EDC staff member, reported sales tax receipts had been essentially flat in recent months. "It's down $4,000 or 1% from the same time last year," she said, citing October declines followed by flat collections in November, December and January.
The board recessed into executive session at 12:15 p.m. under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code. The meeting returned to open session at 12:49 p.m., and the board chair stated "there is no action to take" as a result of the executive session.
The transcript records no formal votes, motions, or approvals tied to the executive session or the missing financials during the Jan. 16 meeting; staff committed to providing the financial statements to the board after the meeting.
