Obtain Southwest Houston bond increase documents

Context: Council adopted Ordinance 2026-0486 unanimously on June 3 after the item was held from its May 27 appearance, but the supplied matter record identifies no implementation milestone.

Recommended: Pull the certified adopted ordinance and the Southwest Houston Redevelopment Authority materials authorizing the increased bonds and notes. Confirm the authorized amount, any stated issuance conditions, and implementation triggers before advising a client to rely on the approval, since no implementation milestone is verified in the record.

Explain Southwest Houston bond increase delay

Context: This matter appeared twice: Pollard and Ramirez tagged it on May 27, and Council adopted it with all voting aye and Castex-Tatum absent on June 3.

Recommended: Request the May 27 tag materials, council-member communications, and any staff explanation for why Pollard and Ramirez tagged the bond increase before Council adopted it a week later. Without those records, the public cannot tell what concerns delayed an ultimately unanimous approval.
