This article has been updated to include the Conroe City Council's votes from the rescheduled April 29 meeting. The Conroe City Council meeting was canceled April 25 due to lack of a quorum—or too few council members to create a valid vote were able to attend—and it was rescheduled for April 29. At the workshop April 24, council members and staff discussed a tax-abatement agreement with a freight line company, bid awards for Carl Barton Jr. Park's soccer field lighting and Entergy Texas' rates. City Council passed everything unanimously April 29. At the April 24 workshop, Conroe City Attorney Marc Winberry said the city of Conroe is the original regulator of electric utility rates charged by Entergy within the corporate limits of the city. "Entergy filed an interim rate proceeding called a distribution cost recovery factor case seeking to recover an additional $3.2 million in annual revenue to cover capital expenditures they've made in the interim since the last major rate case," Winberry said at the workshop. "[City staff] recommend denying the increase. ... Our action would aid in extending the time frame in which the increase will be implemented, and so will give our customers the opportunity to save a little money before the rate increase is implemented." Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. is applying for a tax-abatement agreement with the city to build a 32,500-square-foot facility, including 563 square feet of office space, according to Danielle Scheiner, executive director of the Conroe Economic Development Council. Old Dominion Freight Line plans to create 95 new jobs and anticipates a capital investment of $9.5 million in Conroe Industrial Park North. Carl Barton Jr. Park has six soccer fields that need lighting, according to Mike Riggins, director of Conroe Parks and Recreation, who said funds for the project are already budgeted for in this fiscal year's capital improvement plan.
