DISCUSSION AND/OR ACTION ITEMS.
1. Approval of the Minutes from January 12, 2021
A motion was made by Clark McChesney and seconded by Rick Trefzer to approve the minutes.
The motion passed unanimously.
2. Update on the Status of Development
Chris Price indicated that repairs were being made to Module 1 Unit 3 and that the infrastructure
would be transferring to the city in a few weeks. The garden home section started construction a
few weeks ago and it is ahead of schedule and that they want to deliver the lots in August.
The current builders are David Weekly and Scott Felder. Pulte is exiting the project as they have
changed their business model and want to be in a different price point. Additionally, they are
using a construction technology, a sort of prefab system, so it is hard for them to meet the
guidelines. Chris Price noted that Perry homes is coming in.
The next phase, Module 3 Unit 1 - preliminary plat is in with city. They are negotiating with
builders but it is likely going to be a continuation of Scott Felder and Weekly.

Chris Price noted that they are working on a PDD amendment for the newly acquired area further
south. He added that sales are doing very well, with prices in the low $300,000s and some near
$600,000. The multi - family parcel is under contract and working through the usual issues.
Brian James indicated that there are a number of items pending with staff such as a zoning case
and a plat down in the southern part of the development. Also, with southern area that council
recently rezoned, staff is working with the developer to get access to Ware Seguin Road proper,
so there may be an agreement coming to council on that in the future. Chris Price mentioned they
reached agreement to buy the outparcei wrapped by the 58 acres.
3. Update on the Amended TIRZ Agreements
Both the City and SARA have approved the agreements, so we are just waiting on Bexar County
to get it on the agenda. Chris price mentioned it had been reviewed by all county depts except
the county attorney. Brian mentioned a few things are being held up pending approval-- the
developer asked the City to not pay the last approved payment. He noted the developer was
wanting to assign revenues in order to adjust their lending.
4. Report on Tax Increment Collections Amount and Expenses (See attached document)
The city got some initial data from the appraisal district. It looked like it had fewer homes than
we believed to have been built. The Developer and City are reviewing it and doing some research
to determine the number of lots with structures on them to correct that, if there is a problem.
The discrepancy is almost 100 homes.
Jill Whitaker asked whether the developer was in conversations to acquire the sliver of land at
Lower Seguin Road and FM 1518. The owner had indicated to her that his land was going to be
acquired but it was unclear by whom or how. Chris Price indicated they have been talking for years
but there is a difference in expectations and so he wasn't sure if they would ever acquire it.
More discussion occurred on the appraisal district report. Clark McChesney asked what tripped it
to show up on the tax role. Brian James indicated he was under the impression that it had to do
with the Certificate of Occupancy.
ADJOURNMENT
Meeting adjourned at 4:20 PM.
Michael Dahle, Chair
