MEDC approves two development agreements after executive session; board adopts minutes and three months of financials
Summary
At its May 20 meeting in the McKinney council chambers, the McKinney Economic Development Corporation approved two development agreements discussed in executive session and unanimously approved minutes and financial reports for February, March and April 2025.
The McKinney Economic Development Corporation voted May 20 to approve two development agreements discussed during an executive session and, earlier in the meeting, unanimously approved minutes and the financial reports for February, March and April 2025.
The actions followed the board's return from an executive session at about 9:23 a.m. "It is 09:23 here at the wonderful council chambers, and we're back from executive session. And we do have some action items that we need to, get motions on," the presiding officer said. The board then took separate motions to approve development agreements for Project Mirage and Project Mathes.
Why it matters: The approvals move two economic-development projects further along the implementation path; the agreements were discussed in closed session under the Texas Government Code on economic development matters, and the board recorded formal approval on the public docket.
The board recorded the following formal actions during the meeting:
- Approval of minutes (consent): The board moved and approved three sets of minutes from prior joint and MEDC meetings. The chair called for approval of the consent items and a motion was made "to approve all 3 minutes." The board voted and the chair announced the motion was approved.
- Approval of February, March and April 2025 financial reports: After staff presented the three months of financial reports, a board member made a motion to approve all three months; another member seconded, and the board cast unanimous recorded votes in favor.
- Approval of development agreements for Project Mirage: After executive-session deliberations, a board member moved "we approve the 2 development agreements as discussed during the executive session." The motion was seconded and the chair announced the vote passed with unanimous affirmative votes.
- Approval of development agreement for Project Mathes: Following discussion, a motion to approve the Project Mathes development agreement was made, seconded and also recorded as passing unanimously.
Votes and tallies: The meeting transcript repeatedly records the roll as "greens all around" and the chair's announcement that items passed. Specific yes/no vote counts and individual vote records were not provided in the public transcript; the board announced unanimous approval for the listed items.
What the board said on the record: The motion language for Project Mirage appeared on the public record as "I make a motion we approve the 2 development agreements as discussed during the executive session." For Project Mathes the motion was recorded on the public record as "I'll make a motion to approve." The board announced both motions passed after the votes were registered.
Next steps and notes: Because these agreements were discussed in executive session under the Texas Government Code sections cited during the meeting, details discussed in closed session were not read into the public record beyond the motions to approve. The public agenda item listings named the projects as "Project Mirage" and "Project Matheson/Mathes" (transcript spelling varies).
Ending: The board completed its remaining business and adjourned after recording the approvals, with the chair announcing "We are adjourned."
