BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones are governed by the Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code and Section 311.009 addresses Composition of Board of Directors. Per item F, each year the governing body of the municipality or county that created the zone shall appoint one member of the board to serve as chairman for a term of one year that begins on January 1 of the following year.
In order to better align with the duration of the Chair’s appointment, staff recommends the Board transition from a Spring-appointed board to a Fall-appointed board.
The TIRZ 3 Advisory Board approved this recommendation at its June 25, 2025 meeting.
If the Council approves the change to Fall, all existing members will extend their current terms an additional six (6) months to November 30 of each respective year. Members whose terms expire May 31, 2026 will extend to November 30, 2026 and members whose terms expire May 31, 2027 will extend to November 30, 2027.
