Odessa, Texas/January 15, 2023-During the last Odessa City Council meeting on January 10th, 2023 the council approved 5 to 2 a contract between the City of Odessa and T2 Professional Consulting LLC. Councilman Steve Thompson is very concerned, even days after the City Council meeting, that the contract signed by Mayor Javier Joven and Michael D.

When googled, the business location at 2500 Lotus Ave, listed on the contract, shows a two-story home in a residential area of Ft. Worth, Texas. There is no website for T2 Professional Consulting, The OpenCorporates-The Open Database of the Corporate World website does list T2 Professional Consulting LLC. Odessa City Councilman, Thompson is concerned that Mayor Joven is using a campaign gmail account to conduct City business instead of using the city-government email provided to Mayor Javier Joven.
