Industrial tax-exemption resolution for ET Gathering & Processing fails
Summary
A motion to authorize DeSoto Parish’s president to sign an industrial tax-exemption agreement between the Northwest Louisiana Financial Authority and ET Gathering and Processing LLC failed after a vote during a special meeting of the Police Jury.
A motion to authorize the parish president to sign a resolution approving an industrial tax-exemption agreement between the Northwest Louisiana Financial Authority and ET Gathering and Processing LLC failed during the Police Jury’s special meeting.
The item was read into the record and a motion was made and seconded. After the chair called for discussion and a voice vote, the chair stated, "And the motion failed." The transcript records no roll-call tally or named votes for that item.
The failure means the jury did not authorize parish execution of the tax-exemption agreement on the record at that meeting. The item was presented as new business; no additional public testimony on the agreement was recorded during the special meeting.
Next steps: the transcript does not show the item being continued or reintroduced; if the financial authority or the company wish to pursue local approval they would need to return the matter to a future agenda.
