Board declines termination and declines new contingent‑fee collections contract
Summary
Trustees voted 7–0 both to not approve termination of an existing contingent‑fee contract with McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen, P.C., and to not approve entering a new contingent‑fee contract with Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd Hullett, PC.
The Pilot Point ISD Board took two related actions on contingent‑fee legal services during the Aug. 13 meeting. First, the board voted to not approve termination of any existing contingent‑fee contract with McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen, P.C., which handles collection of delinquent government receivables. The motion was made by Amy McEvoy, Trustee (Place #2), and passed unanimously, 7–0.
Separately, the board voted to not approve entering into a contingent‑fee contract with Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd Hullett, PC under the Texas Tax Code and Government Code citations listed on the agenda. That motion, made by Craig Bickers, Trustee (Place #7), and seconded by Justin Chance, passed 7–0, meaning the board declined to add the new contingent‑fee contract at this meeting.
Both actions were recorded under Agenda Items 9.I and 9.J; the minutes list the motions and unanimous votes but do not provide extended discussion or the financial terms of any existing contracts.
