Audit tax-exemption termination clauses in North Stemmons lease
Why now: The lease has appeared at two Finance Committee sessions (2026-01-26, 2026-02-03) without advancing to a vote, meaning terms are still open.
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 loss of tax-exempt status mid-lease — a disqualification event converts the $16,837,803 exemption into an unbudgeted liability that a 75-year financing structure likely can't absorb, and protective language is only negotiable while the lease sits in Draft.
Act before: After Finance Committee votes on lease terms
Benchmark affordability terms in North Stemmons lease
Why now: The $16,837,803 foregone-revenue figure was the only disclosed dollar amount across 15 substantive items at both the 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 sessions, and the lease remains in Draft status.
What to do: Request the draft Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease for Good Homes Dallas at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway and pull the specific income-restriction percentages and unit-mix requirements tied to the $16,837,803 tax exemption — those terms are still open after two Finance Committee sessions with no vote, but they'll set the affordability floor any comparable mixed-income project needs to hit for the same tax structure once locked.
Act before: After Finance Committee votes on lease terms
File records request on stalled North Stemmons housing lease
Why now: The $16,837,803 foregone-tax item appeared on the agenda at both 2026-01-26 and 2026-02-03 Finance Committee sessions without advancing to a vote.
What to do: File a public information request for Finance Committee correspondence, staff financial analysis, and Dallas Public Facility Corporation board minutes on the Good Homes Dallas lease — it was the sole item with a disclosed dollar amount across 15 substantive items at both sessions, yet it has stalled through two hearings with no public explanation.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Brief Finance Committee before third North Stemmons hearing
Why now: The lease has appeared twice (2026-01-26, 2026-02-03) as a briefing item without a vote, the only pattern of its kind on this Finance Committee agenda.
What to do: Request one-on-one meetings with Finance Committee members before a third hearing is scheduled — two consecutive briefings without a vote on the Good Homes Dallas lease signal unresolved concerns that aren't in the public record, and direct engagement now is the only window to address them before terms lock.
Act before: After third Finance Committee hearing on this item
