Verify TIRZ board approval preceded London Proper deal
Context: Council passed the ordinance 9-0 on second reading via consent agenda on 2026-05-12 with no floor debate, leaving the board-approval sequence undocumented in the council record.
Recommended: Pull the TIRZ Number 7 board's minutes to confirm it approved this reimbursement plan amendment before council's May 12 ratification — under Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, financing plan changes must clear the zone board first, and an out-of-sequence vote exposes the revenue diversion to a validity challenge.
Request London Proper agreement's reimbursement cap and cost list
Context: The agreement commits half of Subzone B's annual tax increment revenue to reimbursing the London Proper developer's public infrastructure costs, per the 9-0 May 12 second-reading approval.
Recommended: Pull the executed development agreement to see which infrastructure costs qualify for reimbursement and the dollar cap — if you hold land elsewhere in TIRZ Subzone B, this is the template terms to cite when requesting your own reimbursement deal.
Ask why no one spoke at the London Proper financing hearing
Context: Mayor Guajardo opened and closed the May 5 public hearing with the record showing no comments before an 8-0 vote, and the item then cleared consent agenda 9-0 on May 12 without discussion.
Recommended: File a request for the TIRZ Subzone B revenue projections to find out how many total dollars the 50% pledge represents over the life of the agreement — a recurring tax-revenue commitment to one developer drew zero public or council comment.
Approach TIRZ Zone 7 board before remaining subzone revenue commits
Context: Council's 9-0 May 12 vote directs half of Subzone B's annual tax increment revenue to a single development, leaving only the remaining half for other claims in the zone.
Recommended: With half of Subzone B's annual increment revenue now pledged to London Proper, get any competing infrastructure reimbursement request in front of the TIRZ Number 7 board before the remaining capacity is allocated elsewhere.
