PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION 3a Review and discuss the status of the Colleyville Tax Increment Financing District Tax Increment Financing District MINUTES July 24, 2017 City of Colleyville Page 2 Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery presented the annual update of the TIF and briefed the Board. Vice Chairman Taylor said he challenges the date of Hall-Johnson Road being added to the TIF, believing it was part of the original TIF, not added by amendments. Manager Lothery stated she will check and respond appropriately. Director McClendon stated he has seen that the most successful TIFs have been those who have a clear vision. Meaning, it is fine to have a plan for allocation of the money, but not to continue to think the funds must be spent within a specific category. Director McClendon stated having a vision of where the City wants to be will allow for success for all TIF partners. Director Eubanks asked staff for a reconciliation of TIF revenues and expenditures, and a planned projects strategy. Manager Lothery noted there are several new employees at the City with a fresh perspective and she believes 2018 going forward will provide for projects and vision. Director McClendon stated early completion of projects allows the City to have full use of funds throughout the City, not only within the confines of the TIF boundaries. Manager Lothery noted the TIF consultant has indicated there may be opportunities to fund projects which feed the TIF District, but are not within the boundaries, and the City will be evaluating those opportunities and will bring the information to the Board. City Manager Ducay stated in the coming months, the records will be reviewed and the City will bring forward a five-year plan and an accounting of expenditures versus project categories, a forecast of future revenues, and balances available for allocation. There was general discussion regarding the costs of the Highway 26 and Glade Road projects and the development of a project plan. Director Taylor noted there is a new City Council, new City Manager, and new Directors and there needs to be a change in the project plan and accountability. 4.
