Commissioners vote to enter executive session on Shakes Solar tax‑abatement and settlement matters
Summary
Commissioners voted unanimously by voice to go into executive session to discuss the county's modified tax‑abatement agreement with Shakes Solar LLC and related default/settlement notices; the session was authorized under the Texas Local Government Code.
The Dimmit County commissioners court voted to enter executive session to discuss a modified tax‑abatement/economic‑development agreement dated Dec. 23, 2020, between Dimmit County and Shakes Solar LLC, along with the county’s withdrawal and rescission of an active material‑default notice and a first revised material‑default notice and settlement proposal.
Before taking the vote, the presiding official read the applicable statutory authority, citing the Texas Local Government Code, and read the executive‑session item into the record as matters related to the company’s solar generating facility and all related improvements located in the county’s unincorporated area.
Commissioner Alonso Delano moved to enter executive session on those matters; Commissioner Ablenda seconded. The presiding official called for the vote, commissioners responded "Aye," and the motion carried by voice vote.
No details of the settlement proposals, the county notice, or any agreement rescission were discussed on the public record; those matters were listed for executive‑session consideration under the statutory authority referenced on the record.
