Matters to Watch
View all matters →Roots Farm Relocation Infrastructure Grant (26-0822)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Track bidding for Roots Farm utilities and site work
Applies if: Firm performs site utility or earthwork
Why now: Application 4B26-09 for $764,953 was approved on 2026-08-27 covering underground utilities, dirt work, irrigation, sanitary, and driveway/parking at Gray Branch Park, and no next procedural step is listed.
What to do: Contact Harvest Seed Project Foundation to learn how it will buy the underground utilities, dirt work, irrigation, sanitary, and driveway/parking work. The grant recipient is a foundation, so work may be solicited privately rather than through a city bid notice.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request budget behind Roots Farm relocation grant
Applies if: Reader is covering the grant or city park use
Why now: The McKinney Community Development Corporation approved $764,953 for application 4B26-09 on 2026-08-27 in two separate passing motions (closing the hearing, then approving), yet the items state only that this is 33% of total project cost.
What to do: Ask for the full project budget and funding sources for the farm relocation to Gray Branch Park. The grant covers only 33% of total cost, so the public record does not show who pays the remaining roughly two-thirds.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
2026-27 Board and Commission Appointments (26-0804)
Showing all 1 action. Filter by: .
Request full board appointment vote tallies and removals list
Why now: The item was approved five separate times on 2026-08-25 (E1-E5) with different movers and seconders (Feltus/Franklin, Cloutier, Cox/Beller, Beller/Jones, Beller/Cloutier), and the matter has appeared 41 times, suggesting the appointments were split into multiple pieces without the public record showing which seats each motion covered.
What to do: Ask the city clerk for the final roster of who was appointed, reassigned, or removed, and reconcile it against the five separate approval motions. The agenda item bundled expired terms, resignations, reassignments and removals, but the record doesn't say who was removed or why.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Palladium McKinney Ranch $2.5 Million Grant Amendment (26-0821)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Obtain amended grant agreement for McKinney Ranch land acquisition
Applies if: You represent a party affected by or contracting with Palladium McKinney Ranch, LTD or the Corporation
Why now: The amendment to Project Grant 4B26-01 to include acquisition of land was approved on 2026-08-27, but the supplied record contains no agreement language or next procedural step.
What to do: Get the executed amendment and underlying grant agreement to determine what land-acquisition terms, such as repayment, reversion, or performance conditions, attach to the $2.5 million. The vote record does not show these terms, so the question is whether the amendment was executed and on what conditions.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request records explaining grant amendment for McKinney Ranch land purchase
Why now: The record shows three entries on 2026-08-27, including a separate closing of the public hearing and two identical approval motions by Micheletto and Booth, for an amendment to Project Grant 4B26-01 awarded to Palladium McKinney Ranch, LTD.
What to do: Ask the McKinney Community Development Corporation for the original grant award and the amendment text to see what changed when land acquisition was added to the $2.5 million grant. Without the side-by-side comparison, the public can't tell whether this was a scope expansion or a repurposing of existing money.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
McKinney Parks Master Plan, ADA Upgrades and Equipment Grant (26-0722)
Showing all 4 actions. Filter by: , , , .
Review McKinney nonprofit relocation grants for constitutional risk
Context: Both project grants passed by the same motion pattern (Riche/Micheletto) on 2026-07-23 with no conditions noted in the record.
Recommended: MCDC approved over $1M in infrastructure grants to two private nonprofits, McKinney Roots Farm and CommonGood Medical Clinic, via single-motion consent votes with no performance agreement or clawback terms visible in the public record — pull the underlying grant agreements to confirm they satisfy the public-purpose requirements for 4B spending before funds are disbursed.
Verify medical clinic grant scope at 2750 Virginia Parkway
Context: MCDC approved the clinic infrastructure grant as part of a combined $1M+, two-project package by consent motion on 2026-07-23.
Recommended: MCDC's grant for CommonGood Medical Clinic's move to 2750 Virginia Parkway funds renovation infrastructure only, not clinical equipment or buildout — confirm the exact line items with MCDC staff before finalizing your site budget so those costs don't show up as change orders later.
Request McKinney's itemized $1M nonprofit grant breakdown
Context: The public record only states 'over $1M' combined across the two project grants, with individual votes drawing no debate on a 37-item agenda.
Recommended: MCDC closed the public hearing and approved this item back-to-back on 2026-07-23, both by consent motion with no recorded discussion, inside a 37-item agenda dominated by 4B grants — file a records request for the itemized grant agreements to get the exact dollar split between the farm and clinic projects and any performance conditions attached.
Prepare for construction near Gray Branch Park
Context: MCDC approved the Gray Branch Park farm relocation infrastructure grant, part of the $1M+ package, by consent vote on 2026-07-23.
Recommended: McKinney Roots Farm is relocating to Gray Branch Park with MCDC-funded underground utilities, grading, irrigation, and a new driveway/parking lot — if you live nearby, expect construction traffic and a shift in how the park is used once work begins.
