Confirm recapture rights in North Stemmons housing lease

Why now: The lease forgoes $16,837,803 in general fund revenue over a 75-year term, and neither the January 26 nor the February 3, 2026 Finance Committee briefing produced a vote, leaving terms open to negotiation.

What to do: Request the draft Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease for 6950 North Stemmons Freeway and confirm it includes income-restriction compliance triggers, cure periods, and recapture provisions before it executes.

Act before: After Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease executes

Model tax savings from North Stemmons housing lease structure

Why now: This is the sole item on the Finance Committee's 15-item Draft agenda with a disclosed dollar figure, making it the likely benchmark for future Dallas Public Facility Corporation ground-lease approvals.

What to do: Pull the financial model behind the $16,837,803 foregone-revenue figure for the Good Homes Dallas 75-year ground lease at 6950 North Stemmons Freeway and compare it to your own project's tax liability while terms remain open.

Request records behind North Stemmons tax exemption deal

Why now: The matter has surfaced twice with no vote taken, and 14 other agenda items sat alongside it in Draft status, suggesting terms are still being finalized before they become harder to obtain.

What to do: File open records requests now for the Dallas Public Facility Corporation lease, the financial model behind the $16,837,803 foregone-revenue figure, and any staff memos circulated between the January 26 and February 3, 2026 hearings.

Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)

Submit fiscal year budget priorities to Dallas Finance Committee

Why now: The January 26 and February 3, 2026 sessions each ended without a vote, leaving specific line-item allocations open to influence until the committee advances the draft.

What to do: Send written fiscal year 2026-27 and 2027-28 appropriations priorities to Committee on Finance now, while none of its 15 draft agenda items have reached a vote across two hearings.

Act before: After Committee on Finance advances the budget draft to a vote
