Summary
After executive session the council moved unanimously to 'proceed as directed' on presentations concerning projects dubbed Robin, Teal and Flamingo, and on discussion of an incentives policy and a Chapter 380 agreement with a private investor.
The council considered executive-session briefing materials on a set of prospective economic-development projects identified in the record as Robin, Teal and Flamingo, along with discussion of an incentives policy and a potential Chapter 380 agreement between the city and a private investor. The matter was discussed under Texas Government Code chapter 551 regarding consultation with counsel.
After the closed discussion Councilwoman Cruz moved to "proceed as directed," and Councilwoman Garcia seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Council did not provide further details in open session about the projects' terms, dollar amounts, or timelines.
