Attorney David Earl told council members that there is no legal difference between a city‑funded T.I.R.Z. and a developer‑funded T.I.R.Z.; both are regulated by statute (311.011). He outlined the requirements the council must follow: appoint the board members for the zone, propose a final financial plan, and adopt the necessary ordinances (each ordinance requiring two readings).

Earl's guidance was delivered during discussion of T.I.R.Z. items on the council agenda, and he was present in the meeting to advise on procedural and statutory steps the city will need to complete for T.I.R.Z. #2.
