Item 5 5 10-28-08 Arrington SUP-Cover Memo.doc Agenda No. 6 CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM City Council Meeting: October 28, 2008 Department: City Manager Subject: Sedona BACKGROUND By Ordinance No. 06-T-61 dated December 19, 2006, the City created, pursuant to Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, “Reinvestment Zone Number Two, City of Schertz, Texas” (the “Zone”) to promote the development of the Sedona mixed-use project within the Zone through the use of tax increment financing, based on the conclusion that development would not otherwise occur solely through private investment in the reasonably foreseeable future. Ordinance No. 06-T-61 created a Board of Directors for the Zone (the “Zone Board”) and authorized the Zone Board to exercise all the rights, powers, and duties of a board under the Code, and to act on behalf of the City within the limits of the Code. On October 27, 2008, the Zone Board adopted the Final Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan for the Zone, and pursuant to Section 311.011(d) of the Texas Tax Code, the City Council must approve the Project and Financing Plan by ordinance after its adoption by the Zone Board. By Resolution No. 07-R-37, dated October 30, 2007, the City designated eight (8) individuals to serve as members of the Zone Board, but based on the proposed contribution by Bexar County to the Zone, the total number of Zone Board appointments authorized for the City pursuant to the Project and Financing Plan is six (6). Two of the directors appointed by the City, C. A. Elder and Steve White, have agreed not to serve as City appointees, but Steve White is expected to be appointed by Bexar County as one of the two County representatives on the Zone Board. We are confirming that the City can remove and reappoint its Board appointees at any time; if so, the City will always have six (6) “friendly” representatives on the Board, a majority of the total Board of eleven (11) FISCAL IMPACT The City foregoes ad valorem taxation on the improvements made to the Sedona development area until 2027, but the City receives all infrastructure (water, sewer, fire/EMS station, and parks), built to its standards, and is expected to contract with the Zone to provide certain services (utilities and public safety).
