16. Consider/Approve Tony Resendez with JCA-Lawfirm, PLLC, general counsel legal services agreement.  

17. Consider/Approve hiring JCA-Lawfirm, PLLC and Cantu Harden Montoya LLP to serve as bond counsel for Christoval ISD. 

•   Christoval ISD desires to issue obligations from time to time for various public purposes authorized by Texas statutes, in order to finance or refinance public projects;
•   JCA-Lawfirm, PLLC and Cantu Harden Montoya LLP are law firms that include public finance practice and have the necessary competence, qualifications, and experience to serve as bond counsel services;
•   The District and firms do not have prior engagements or relationships for bond counsel services; however, attorneys in the firms have represented public school districts for 25 years; Texas Government Code 2254.1036
•   The districts supporting personnel do not have the required experience, qualifications or resources to adequately perform bond counsel services for the issuance of obligations;
•   Given the nature of bond counsel services and the source of payment therefor (being from the process of obligations issued by the district), such legal services cannot be reasonably obtained from attorneys in private practice under a contract providing for payment of hourly fees without contingency; and
•   Entering into a contingent fee contract with the firm for bond counsel services is in the best interest of the district and will have competent, qualified and experienced counsel to advise on the issuance of bonds and other obligations, and the provision of such legal services will not financially impact the district as the compensation for such services will be paid form the proceeds of such bonds or other obligations.
