2. Briefing on Sedona Project
Chair Wilenchik noted that a house in the area had significant damage from recent
vandalism. He reported the incident to police and called the builders. The builders were
aware of the damage and were going to file a police report. Mr. Larry Aiken stated that
the area had previous reports of vandalism. He spoke with the police chief who stated
they would beef up security in the area and that they had not heard of any vandalism
reports since home construction began. Mr. Aiken also mentioned that the new Junior
High School was also broken into. Mr. Aiken and Mr. Price met with Lenar Homes last
week to provide an updated market study. Lenar Homes had the model home and three
specs almost completed, Huge or four others are in dry-in stage, and three additional slabs
are being poured. Tlrey are hoping to have the realtors' grand opening before the end of
the month. They also talked about a second grand opening after they get some variances
on some signage. The bid date for the lift station was moved from June 9`h to June 16°i at
the request of the contractors building it. The developers are planning to erect a billboard
at FM 1518/IH-10. Larry Aiken would like to discuss details of turning the discharge
permit over to the city for the lift station and sewer plant as soon as completed and for
ownership as soon as reimbursements are complete.
3. Report on Tax Increment deposits
Zero tax increment deposits to date. Michael Spain stated that we need to do calculations
of our own and send invoices to prime this process to get the payments into the tax
50223296.2
increment fund. The Board will need to get the value of the property as of January 1,
2008 and the Appraisal District Account number for every parcel in the zone. After that,
the Board can determine the appraised value as of January 1, 2008. We are going to
subtract from that the base value at January 1, 2006, that number will be multiplied by the
tax rates for the City, Bexar County and SARA. We will then multiply this captured
appraised value for each entity by the percentage rate that each entity agreed to contribute
and this should give the tax increment we should be receiving on the 2008 value.
4. Approval of payment of Administrative Costs and Project Costs
Motion made by Steve White, seconded by Larry Aiken to approve Item #4 for payment
when funds are available. Tier 1 first; Tier 2 second, etc. Vote was unanimous. Motion
Carried.
