Votes at a glance: Fulshear EDC pursues retail recruitment contract, approves sign relocation and routine items
Summary
At the Jan. 13 meeting the A board approved staff pursuing a contract with Retail Strategies (cost share with B board), approved relocation of the Texas Heritage Parkway gateway sign, and approved routine payables and minutes; motions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tallies.
The Fulshear Economic Development Corporation recorded several formal actions on Jan. 13. The board approved staff to pursue an agreement with retail recruitment firm Retail Strategies and agreed to fund 50% of the first‑year cost in a cost‑sharing arrangement with the B Board. The A Board’s anticipated half of the first‑year contract is $22,500 (half of a $45,000 annual fee), staff said; the final contract required legal review and contained a 30‑day termination provision.
The board also approved staff’s request to permit relocation of the Texas Heritage Parkway gateway sign to a site farther north at the Peterson Road/THP intersection, following feedback that the original placement could create driver confusion immediately after a roundabout.
Other routine actions approved included a payable of $17,900.32 and approval of the Dec. 9, 2024 minutes. Motions were made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the audio transcript records "Aye" responses but does not list a roll‑call tally in the minutes.
