The McKinney Community Development Corporation convened on September 25, 2025, to discuss key financial updates and recognize contributions from board members. The meeting began with a focus on budgetary concerns, particularly regarding the presentation of the 2025 debt bond issuance. Board members, including Chance, highlighted the challenges in interpreting the budget, noting that while the monthly reports indicated a surplus of $2.5 million, this figure was misleading. The surplus arose because the budget accounted for bond expenditures that had already occurred months prior, creating confusion about the actual financial standing.

To address these issues, discussions were initiated on improving the organization and clarity of budget presentations for the upcoming year. Janice and Chance agreed to collaborate on refining these financial reports to enhance understanding for board members and stakeholders.

Following the budget discussions, the meeting transitioned to item 25, which involved board and liaison reports. The board took a moment to acknowledge the contributions of board member Mr. Kelly, who was recognized for his significant impact on the community and the board itself. Despite his preference for a low-key departure, the board emphasized the importance of publicly honoring his service.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further discussions on budget organization and a heartfelt recognition of Mr. Kelly's contributions, underscoring the board's dedication to transparency and community engagement.
