Audit termination clauses in North Stemmons housing lease
Why now: The lease remained in Draft status after two consecutive Finance Committee briefings on 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 with no vote taken on either date, leaving termination and compliance clauses open for negotiation.
What to do: Pull the draft Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease for Good Homes Dallas at 6950 North Stemmons and map every condition that could trigger a mid-lease loss of Dallas Public Facility Corporation tax-exempt status — a disqualification event would convert the $16,837,803 property-tax exemption into a live, unbudgeted liability that 75-year project financing almost certainly cannot absorb. Protective language is still negotiable while the lease sits in Draft; it will not be after a committee vote locks the terms.
Act before: After Finance Committee votes to advance the lease out of Draft
Pull draft North Stemmons housing lease to benchmark affordability covenants
Why now: The $16,837,803 general fund revenue foregone reflects the full tax exemption under the proposed 75-year Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease, which stayed in Draft after Finance Committee briefings on both 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 with no vote.
What to do: Request the draft lease for Good Homes Dallas at 6950 North Stemmons and identify the specific income-restriction percentages and unit-mix requirements the city is negotiating as conditions of Dallas Public Facility Corporation tax-exempt status — whatever terms the city accepts here will define the affordability floor comparable mixed-income projects must meet to qualify for the same structure, and those terms remain open because the lease has not advanced past Draft after two Finance Committee sessions.
Act before: After Finance Committee votes to advance the lease
Request Finance Committee records on stalled North Stemmons housing tax deal
Why now: The Good Homes Dallas lease at 6950 North Stemmons appeared in Draft status at Finance Committee on both 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 without a vote, making it the sole stalled item among the 15 briefing items on each agenda.
What to do: File a public information request for Finance Committee member correspondence, staff financial analysis, and Dallas Public Facility Corporation board minutes on the Good Homes Dallas lease — the $16,837,803 foregone tax item was the only agenda item with a disclosed dollar amount across 15 substantive items at both sessions, yet it did not advance to a vote at either hearing and no public explanation for the delay exists in the record.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Brief Finance Committee members before third North Stemmons housing hearing
Why now: The $16,837,803 Good Homes Dallas lease at 6950 North Stemmons received Finance Committee briefings on 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 without advancing, indicating undisclosed objections that have not surfaced publicly.
What to do: Request one-on-one meetings with Finance Committee members before a third hearing is scheduled — two consecutive briefings without a vote signal that specific member concerns are unresolved and not in the public record, and direct engagement before the next hearing is the only window to identify and address those concerns before the Good Homes Dallas lease terms are locked.
Act before: After third Finance Committee hearing on this item
