Review McKinney Development Board's Closed Session Compliance
Context: MEDC entered closed session on 5/19/2026 to discuss real property and multiple named projects, and related financial items reached Council's agenda by 7/21/2026.
Recommended: Obtain the certified agenda from the MEDC's May 19 closed session on real property and 'several named economic development projects' and confirm each project meets the Texas Open Meetings Act §551.087 economic-development exception before any resulting incentive agreement is finalized.
Review McKinney Tax Increment Zone Amendment For Eligibility
Context: Council adopted two ordinances amending the TIRZ One project and finance plans on 7/21/2026 after MEDC referred them on 5/19/2026.
Recommended: Pull the two ordinances amending the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One project and finance plans that Council adopted July 21 to see whether new project categories or a higher budget cap make your development eligible for reimbursement — this item moved from MEDC referral to Council adoption in the same two-month cycle.
Request McKinney Development Board's Unnamed Closed Session Projects
Context: MEDC's 5/19/2026 minutes reference an unnamed set of projects discussed behind closed doors that preceded multiple financial items on Council's 7/21/2026 agenda.
Recommended: File a public information request for the names of the economic development projects MEDC discussed in its May 19 closed session — the public minutes describe them only as 'several named' projects, and items from that same meeting surfaced on Council's July 21 agenda two months later.
Target McKinney Development Board Before Zone Vote
Context: Every major financial item on the 7/21/2026 Council agenda originated as an MEDC referral from the 5/19/2026 meeting.
Recommended: Approach MEDC board members now, while they're still weighing the projects discussed in the May 19 closed session — the roadway fee waiver, housing tax credit resolution, and TIRZ ordinances all cleared MEDC as referrals before Council rubber-stamped them on July 21, so the MEDC stage is where influence lands.

Check notice for McKinney's tax increment zone amendment
Context: Council adopted two separate ordinances at the July 21, 2026 meeting amending both the project plan and finance plan for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One, increasing its committed obligations.
Recommended: Confirm whether Collin County and McKinney ISD received the notice or consent required for changes to a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone's finance plan before council amended Zone Number One's project and finance plans on July 21 — a missed notice step exposes the amendment to a validity challenge.
Verify McKinney's roadway impact fee waiver criteria
Context: Council granted a roadway impact fee waiver for a multi-family project at its July 21, 2026 meeting alongside three other development incentive items.
Recommended: Pull the resolution that waived roadway impact fees for this multi-family project and check its qualifying criteria — if a McKinney project of yours meets the same standard, you could avoid a substantial per-unit fee.
Request records naming McKinney EDC's closed session projects
Context: The EDC referred this item to council on May 19, 2026 with a due-back date of July 21, then entered closed session that same day to discuss real property and multiple named projects not identified in the public agenda summary.
Recommended: File an open records request for the closed session caption from the July 21 EDC meeting — the board discussed real property and several unnamed economic development projects behind closed doors right after this item came back from its May 19 referral, so the caption may be the only public trace of which sites are involved.
