Review amended general counsel request for qualifications criteria before responding
Applies if: You or your firm are considering responding to the request for qualifications
Why now: Johnny Philipello's motion on 2026-09-24 moved sections 2 and 4 of Exhibit B into a new "preferred minimal qualifications" subsection, passed unanimously, before the board authorized the request for qualifications.
What to do: Pull Exhibit B as amended and check which qualifications are now "preferred minimal qualifications" versus required. Whether your firm must meet sections 2 and 4 determines if it can credibly respond.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request Corpus Christi B Corporation general counsel legal services funding details
Why now: On 2026-09-24 the board unanimously passed the RFQ and a $225,000 amendment from Fund 1146, though the item listed Funds 1146, 1147, 1148, 1150, 1155 and 1160 and appeared three times.
What to do: Ask for the RFQ (request for qualifications) text with Exhibits A and B as amended, and the rationale for funding $225,000 only from Economic Development Fund 1146. Readers need to know why one fund was used when the original item listed six funds.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
