Dimmit County authorizes settlement negotiations with Shake Solar LLC after executive session
Summary
Following an executive session, commissioners voted to authorize continued participation by the county and settlement negotiations with Shake Solar LLC concerning alleged defaults under a 12/23/2020 economic development agreement and related tax abatement provisions.
After an executive session to consult counsel on contemplated litigation, the Dimmit County Commissioners Court voted to authorize county staff and counsel to continue settlement negotiations with Shake Solar LLC regarding alleged defaults under a December 23, 2020 economic development agreement and the company's solar facility operating within county boundaries.
The judge read the executive session justification, citing consultation with counsel under the Texas Open Meetings Act and references in the transcript to chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code and related government‑code sections; the court then returned to open session and approved a motion authorizing continued participation and settlement negotiations related to the alleged defaults and participation issues.
Commissioners moved and seconded the motion and announced the motion carried. The court did not disclose settlement terms in open session; commissioners instructed counsel and staff to proceed with negotiation and to report back with further recommendations.
