Raelynn told the board she has multiple local developers interested and that the city would transfer ownership of the building to the developer as part of a development agreement. The expectation outlined in the draft RFQ is that the exterior would be renovated immediately (the city and staff emphasized the need for a visible exterior improvement on Moore Avenue) and the developer would have up to five years to complete interior build‑out. The first floor would be required to remain retail; staff estimated roughly 3,000 square feet per floor and described the building as large enough to accommodate a substantial restaurant or other commercial tenant.

Board members discussed incentives, timeline and safeguards. One board member recommended a tiered incentive—larger incentives for faster completion—to reduce the risk of a future low‑quality tenant occupying the space. A question about conflicts of interest and the city’s role was raised; staff clarified that the building would be transferred to the developer and would return to the tax rolls upon transfer.

Why it matters: The Chapman Building occupies a prominent downtown location; the proposed public‑private approach is intended to restore a prominent façade on Moore Avenue and catalyze further downtown investment.

Next steps and conditions: Staff said an RFQ could be released and that responses would be evaluated; the board discussed whether Paddock wishes to partner on the exterior renovation costs as a one‑time incentive. The board did not take formal action at the meeting but asked staff to refine the RFQ and consider incentive structures that reward rapid exterior and first‑floor activation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Park and Downtown Improvement Corporation - May 09 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented a draft RFQ to solicit developers for the Chapman Building (202 E.

Raelynn said the city worked with the Terrell Heritage Society to apply for the Texas Preservation Trust Fund (referred to in the transcript as a “Grama Program”) administered by the Texas Historical Commission. The program is described in the packet as a 50/50 matching program. Staff said the Carnegie renovation master plan prepared by Mark Thacker totals about $1.5 million in work; staff proposed breaking the larger program into roughly $60,000‑per‑year restoration packages and asked whether Paddock would include a sponsor match in its annual budget for those dollars.

Jessica, representing the Terrell Heritage Society, told the board the first application package would be for two front windows (noted as more than 90% failure) at an estimated $60,000 for that scope. Staff said first‑year awards are capped at an amount the transcript described as $30,000 in that year, with the possibility of higher award amounts in later years (transcript: “first year you can only get 30; next year you can get up to 50”). The board discussed offering to include up to $30,000 per year in the Paddock budget as a contingent match subject to the grant award.

Why it matters: The Carnegie restoration is a multi‑year preservation project on a historically significant downtown building; a sponsor match can unlock state preservation dollars and reduce the fundraising required of the Heritage Society.

Process and next steps: Staff will include an annual budget line item proposal for Paddock to consider; if the grant is awarded, Paddock’s participation (if approved) would be contingent on the award and the specific annual scope. Staff and the Heritage Society are pursuing additional private and foundation fundraising to complement the match.","Paddock staff said the Terrell Heritage Society’s Carnegie Library restoration advanced to the next stage of a state preservation grant process; staff recommended Paddock consider sponsoring a 50% match for an estimated $60,000 annual restoration package, beginning with front‑window repairs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6242035,"Paddock advances South Alley cleanup and Quiet Zone planning, explores bollards and parklets",581,2631000,3212000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88&start=2631&end=3212","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88/thumbnail_2631000.jpg","/articles/6242035/Terrell/Kaufman-County/Texas/Paddock-advances-South-Alley-cleanup-and-Quiet-Zone-planning-explores-bollards-and-parklets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6242035-ceadb352c7643b69d62751a11fc92549/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157153&Signature=gmVWQ~1DSGqBzXqnYecmqz3mx~3E8tgGbUqp1Rm5a3YFEyF0ZEwcH8~C4haOYpV1sXcH0OXM0rcQwE7t16jfuMYYw0XN9fkoEJviXD3tS5XKSrmdycOCBTruWaKU0dj8xxRUVx8S4O84El~VxQl5lhzwMNmhRltacCnOzdhMKqSH6TXiV9bbqqECJZrmzZqitkbn~DZs7~BuwPNDNS0Kk9W~6x5JAALiok~gBBgqKnq1ms-Vxvko0qYnkMuwrtD4nrrsUpij6VSdrAZLrh5DAsIKDPLn5tm0PYabPC42qF7jpOFV5ZlPi7CFvf6f22~VrR8LOK97bXvkySXNbHVHdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paddock members and staff spent substantial time discussing a multipronged plan to clean up South Alley, improve rear access for downtown businesses, and advance Quiet Zone-related work along the railroad.

Raelynn said the plan draws on work already completed for a Quiet Zone application: permanent dumpster locations on each block, asphalt or concrete overlay for a cleaner alley surface, permanent wrought‑iron fencing near the railroad right-of-way for aesthetics and safety, and painted fire lanes to keep vehicles clear of building backs. She said staff expects to pull individual cost line items from the Quiet Zone design package to implement pieces now rather than wait for the whole project.

Staff emphasized funding and timeline constraints: the overall local participation estimate for the Quiet Zone project is about $4,000,000 (city share), which staff has previously set aside for potential future borrowing. Raelynn said the next Quiet Zone application is due in June and awards are expected in October; the application will be submitted under the grant name the transcript identifies as the “Chrissy Grant” and also as a Railroad Elimination grant. She said Union Pacific had approved the general design and that fencing location and design would follow Union Pacific’s safety requirements.

Events and pedestrian safety: Board members and staff discussed removable bollards to secure festival blocks and protect vendors and pedestrians. Staff said bollards with locked sleeves (sleeve installed in the street; bollard inserted and locked for events) are a removable solution and estimated about $300 per bollard plus installation; staff also mentioned heavier temporary wrought‑iron barricades as an alternative for some event configurations.

Why it matters: South Alley improvements and Quiet Zone infrastructure are tied to downtown safety, aesthetics and long‑term development plans. Permanent dumpster locations and alley paving are intended to improve functionality for tenants and emergency access while aesthetics and fencing will better frame downtown from the railroad corridor.

Next steps: Staff will extract individual cost estimates from the Quiet Zone design package (fence, dumpster enclosures, paving, awnings) and return line-item pricing for board consideration; the city will submit Quiet Zone/Chrissy Grant applications in June.

Note on terminology: The transcript refers to the railroad grant as the “Chrissy Grant” and to the federal roadway grant as the RAISE grant; reporting here follows the transcript wording for those program names.","Board and staff discussed converting South Alley into a cleaner, safer back-of-building area — proposing permanent dumpster locations, wrought-iron fencing along the railroad corridor as part of a Quiet Zone strategy, concrete overlay, and removable bollards for events; staff said grant applications (Quiet Zone/Chrissy and RAISE) are in progress.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6242040,"Paddock outlines FY26 priorities: Breezy Hill expansion, irrigation RFP, facades and capital projects",1889,1344000,3233000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88&start=1344&end=3233","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88/thumbnail_1344000.jpg","/articles/6242040/Terrell/Kaufman-County/Texas/Paddock-outlines-FY26-priorities-Breezy-Hill-expansion-irrigation-RFP-facades-and-capital-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6242040-e7381c4b49a8c6fd3752bc4c3561f780/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157153&Signature=RPaDhRVEkfzYvpf~mmaYgFFAjAcTRze-nVK33MSwBRv2VAOm1Zf-6MLRjfTFfpKS2tz0C6NFAf2HOls~ATY28tABq5D5OpUEvJEfg9SnTmk8~x~l8HB5iC3yeYz6-yToq5mTRY8QnCPT1EbBA3YSyhjI9gKX~JCAD1UJRSwCXdn9L5tyXuoH3HH9BGygyMMcoq7hM9RQBSQ5N712n~ED7uPJAsMdDfHLEeO0Q9V5KX6BnxMhiByVfPgqUqyn-ZGzRzIYfEX8IrMK4V2vcw1HBxJM7fjGDngw4l1B2vn3cf1mjOo~Yt2vSeQh17BgH9nTFVn5dgoET~0R4-GCBDk08w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paddock staff presented a proposed set of FY26 budget priorities and three‑year downtown and park projects and asked the board for direction on next steps.

Raelynn, Paddock staff, reviewed a list of capital projects that the board has discussed over several meetings. Key items included a Breezy Hill Park enhancement that would close a portion of Polk Street to expand green space, add about 25–30 head‑in parking spaces on adjacent blocks and move ahead with surveying and design; a proposed splash pad between the Jamie Fox basketball courts and a new baseball field; and design and engineering for those items with construction to be considered as a future budget amendment.

On parks operations, staff said the athletic-field smart irrigation project has an RFP schedule: legal notices published May 17, May 24 and May 31, with a bid opening on June 3, Park Board consideration on June 12, Paddock on June 13 and City Council action planned for June 17. Staff noted a prior single bid for irrigation was much higher than expected, so the work may be phased to improve pricing.

Staff also proposed a larger façade/awning program for downtown — estimating $6,000 per awning with a goal of installing a number of awnings and carrying a façade reimbursement fund (staff suggested increasing the façade budget to $150,000 to fund awnings and retain $75,000 for regular reimbursements). Raelynn described pairing awning work with rear‑access retail improvements for South Alley and said detailed line items would return to the board once pricing is available.

Why it matters: The packages aim to invest Paddock sales‑tax proceeds in downtown and park capital improvements intended to support events, day‑to‑day downtown vibrancy and safety.

Budget and timing details: Staff said the engineering funds are in place for Breezy Hill design and that construction costs would be brought forward later as a budget amendment so the board could choose to spend cash on hand rather than include full construction in FY26. On Breezy Hill, staff anticipates surveying and tree analysis as immediate next steps; staff proposed bollards or a drive lane for emergency access and said permanent head‑in parking would be at least asphalt. The board asked staff to coordinate with the Breezy Hill Association and property owners as project designs proceed.

Process and follow-up: Staff will return with surveys, line‑item pricing and a complete streets briefing (traffic study) so the board can consider how traffic‑calming and parklets might fit into the street‑level design and FY26 budget.","Paddock staff presented a draft three-year program and FY26 priorities including Breezy Hill Park enhancements (closing a portion of Polk Street, adding 25–30 head‑in parking spaces and a splash pad), a rebid of athletic-field smart irrigation, and increased funding for façade/awning work downtown.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6242045,"Paddock approves $19,000 matching grant to help Side Street Bar install kitchen",663,573000,1236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88&start=573&end=1236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3251200-42ac7888b8a3a9a64ee1626a3bd4ae88/thumbnail_573000.jpg","/articles/6242045/Terrell/Kaufman-County/Texas/Paddock-approves-19000-matching-grant-to-help-Side-Street-Bar-install-kitchen","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6242045-2e43559cbff7ee4927895117ea7a9e20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157153&Signature=c80K-FAH25x-ZXX1YX19dQia8dlhjWqycDv0jWOPa3CEG0TwY1nNORfBQsDoDm3OGf0BtSWkQgDMYbtDKHcWM6f5t-dV2ZPbFoJ~mMFNLU89~WUXDJs35nO3EB5BDpeCVcQYnK-7T~FEqz-wFBK99lDxYTnNxiBBUXKsFtKbzjgw7A2RPeG7TRLgrMMsfzh3LyijTG3cWA5q3Tusj2ChRTgnGAb69TtSTv4baprtwnz6h4n0MLCiUHr72MrXiwokpd~zBX11xOHzojxsVJRCUp056ESGHiYzkepWyLYqE8rhP3Xjv3ij9J6sMn2KKZHayCUeOiskyoBUktgaN63V6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terrell Park and Downtown Improvement Corporation on May (date not specified) approved a $19,000 matching reimbursement to assist the tenant at 106 South Adelaide (Side Street Bar) with required kitchen upgrades.

The board’s vote followed a presentation by Raelynn, Paddock staff, and remarks from the tenant, Don Scarborough. Scarborough said the work was necessary to bring a previously outdoor or grandfathered kitchen into current code, listing items including a permanently affixed vent hood, a fire suppression system, a grease trap, electrical upgrades and new signage. He told the board he expects to pay about $15,000 of the cost out of pocket beyond what he requested from Paddock.

Raelynn reviewed the matching-grant rules, noting Paddock’s program covers capital improvements and fixtures. Board member Hillary moved to reimburse specific line items (plumbing, vent hood and fire suppression, signage, electrical work and the grease trap) and to include exterior painting in the grant; JC seconded. The motion passed with the board voting “aye” and Raelynn announced approval of a $19,000 grant.

Why it matters: The grant is intended to support downtown businesses and help convert downtown bar space to food-service use, which can affect foot traffic and downtown vitality.

Details and scope: Scarborough said the installation includes a vent hood that will remain with the building if the tenant moves and that building codes have changed since the venue last served food. The application package submitted to the board listed $17,765 in reimbursable fixture and equipment work; the approved $19,000 added reimbursement for exterior paint. Scarborough said additional non-reimbursed costs remain and that he and his partners will pay those directly.

Process and conditions: The board’s program reimburses eligible capital items up to the approved amount; the board specified eligible line items in the motion. The board did not attach additional conditions beyond usual reimbursement documentation requirements.

What’s next: Staff will process the reimbursement once Scarborough delivers required invoices and proof of payment. No further formal action was recorded at the meeting.","The Terrell Park and Downtown Improvement Corporation approved a $19,000 matching grant to help the tenant at 106 S.
