Summary

City council placed a ballot item seeking voter approval to reduce the Type A EDC sales-tax allocation so part of the funds would move into the city general fund to support police salary increases; the Fulshear Development Corporation discussed the implications and directed members to posted council materials for exact ballot language.

The Fulshear Development Corporation discussed on Feb. 23 a recent City Council action to place a ballot measure asking voters to reduce part of the EDC'allocated sales tax and return that revenue to the city general fund to help pay for police salary increases.

Speaker 2 told the board that council, following a presentation on Jan. 20 and a follow-up presentation on Feb. 3 by President Brian White, "voted in favor of placing an item on the ballot requesting voter approval to reduce our type a funding from half a percent of sales tax to 20.25%" and that the rerouted portion would go into the city'general fund. Speaker 2 directed board members to fulsheartexas.gov and the council agenda packet for the full ballot wording and supporting materials.

Board members said they were pleased the council had aired the issue publicly but raised questions about how the shift would affect EDC-funded projects and long-term metrics. Speaker 8 and other board members urged the EDC to continue tracking "primary jobs" produced by infrastructure projects but acknowledged the difficulty of directly attributing long-term job creation to specific investments.

Speaker 2 said communications and FAQ materials are available online and offered to email the direct link to any board member who wanted the council'packet or ballot language.

What happens next: the measure will appear on the ballot as the council prescribed; board members were advised to consult the posted council materials for exact wording and details about how much funding and which EDC revenues would be affected.
