The Luminant trial regarding the valuation of the plant was held on Feb 15. Judge March 10. Ruling was in our favor. 2.2 billion. We went in budgeting based on 1.9 bil, The judge signed final notice on May 4, Luminant has 30 days from May 4 to pay amount or appeal. If they do appeal, either they have to pay taxes at that time, and if judgement overturned, we have to repay or 2nd option, they can post a bond. Bottom line is we're not real sure, waiting to see. Impact to us: on 2.2 billion the plant owes 1.9 million dollars, doesn't include penaltiesand interest. Paid on valuation of 990 million. We did have to make a bond payment thereafter on Feb 15 of 600,000. Second bond payment 215,000 due in August.
As an organization to offset, all administration are cutting 10-20 hours out of pay, taking voluntary days off without PTO. Administrators have been asked on voluntary basis. Directors have cut 8-16 hours out, given up hours to offset. Sending staff home if census is low, PTO sale annually -employees more than 5 years can sell PTO, postponed that at this time, waiting on plant decision. No paid travel by employees, education pay has been limited as well, unless extenuating circumstances. No salary increases in June. Any vacated position will be admin approval before they can be filled. Employees have voluntarily done things to help weather the storm. (Margaret Drake-how many positions?) Housekeeping director turned in his resignation today. nursing and staffing postions are taken care of. Going through all supply orders to see if necessary. 2nd and 3rd measures if goes longer than 30 days. Currently negotiating for a potential line of credit.
George Darrell Best, KNOWS I'm "salon" and that these are my posts because I a. video recorded him and his wife at a raffle winner event at a local place of interest b. borrowed the copy of the 4b book he had, after an hour long talk in person at the Chamber of Commerce office which was then downtown in the Gibbs building, which I told him (and did) that I was going to post parts of on this website (under, SALON, MY screen name (AND he was not wearing a blindfold nor wearing a muff over his ears) c. did a satirical political cartoon of him in photoshop which he, at a city meeting, demanded I remove from this site (I did not do it) and d. have plenty of dang video of him when he was an appointed politician blathering on that I recorded AT those meetings, including lot of footage of Land of the Dinosaurs (you remember, when the GREDC and City voted to give $80,000 to LOD WITHOUT A CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!) or Palace Theatre. . or getting 4b money to fund a Chamber of Commerce events coordinator position. He also attempted to prevent another 4b member from giving me a public record AFTER a meeting. I also expect he read my pieces on SR2O. He also acknowledged video, on his SaveChalkMountain.com site that I recorded of his Save Chalk Mountain campaign. AND Darrell Best has also posted on this site numerous times, including THIS comment which was made to MY post (with MY screen name and photo) about my hub going down with my camera to record an Austin meeting re: Save Chalk Mountain.
