He stated that the first step was to communicate and allow for response. He suggested more training for economic development contracts. He stated that an independent legal counsel may create double work. Ms. Hollmann asked about the $17,000 a month to the City. Mr. Crow stated it would need to be renegotiated for pricing.

Mr. Boutin stated it may be more expensive. Mr. Robinson asked if it was problematic or an isolated incident. Ms. Hollmann stated that ODC’s philosophy needed to be determined. Mr. Boutin stated that Odessa would like to see local contractors and labor, but some were specialized expertise that may not be available locally such as the Nacero project. Mr. Crow stated that it would keep the City Legal staff from being in the middle of the City and ODC. Ms. Hollmann stated that there have been four or five different attorneys and each had different styles which made it difficult for standardizing. Mr. Crow suggested an ad hoc committee for information that included Open Meetings Act and government contracts. Mr. Crow appointed Ms. Hollmann, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Boutin to the Task Force Committee. ODC Minutes December 8, 2022 Page 3 Discuss, consider, and act upon RFP/RFQ for auditing services. Mr. Crow asked for pricing for the ODC audit and contract verification services. Mrs. Muncy stated that the City and ODC audit was performed by the same group as the records were in the same City system. She stated it was a hassle for the City for two firms to perform the audits and it would be an additional expense for ODC. She stated that Weaver, a large firm, kept the compliance review and audit separate. Ms. Hollmann understood that it would create more work for Mrs. Muncy and be an additional burden on the Finance Department. There were not changes to the RFP. Mrs. Muncy would update the RFP dates and proceed with the RFP. Discuss, consider, and act upon potential appointments to various committees.

With this delay, Current Media will work with Mr. Manskey to complete this project. PERMIAN FUELS AMERICA SOCIAL MEDIA/WEB ANALYTICS Permian Fuels America’s overall social media including all platforms were down last month due to fewer posts being boosted, and the holiday season. CVA 4105 Faudree Rd., Odessa, TX 79765 T 432-368-5483 F 432-366-9434 E craig@cvaadv.com www.cvaadv.com Permian Fuels America Facebook Over the last month on Facebook, we have continued to generate content from rele- vant articles of local news organizations. Our Facebook reach was down due to fewer posts and not as much boosting. The post we did boost was a video about Permian Fuels America, and the majority of those impressions went to Instagram, which was up 4,400%. Our top posts this month were the boosted TPFA video, and an article about the Permian fueling a new oil boom. Permian Fuels America Twitter Twitter this month showed a 60% decrease in tweet volume, which led to lower impres- sions and profile visits, however our followers were up 4 over last month. Our top tweets were about Texas Universities benefitting from Oil and Gas, and the Permian fueling a new Texas oil boom. Permian Fuels America Website Website traffic this month was up by a tremendous amount, with users up 811%, and sessions up 855%. The top channel directing traffic was direct website entry. The dates of the traffic spike line up with the boosting of the TPFA video on Facebook, and we believe that video is the source of the increase.
