- Resolve to establish the City’s intention to reimburse itself for prior lawful expenditure of funds relating to any capital expenditures from proceeds of one or more series of tax-exempt or taxable obligations. The reimbursement to be issued by the City would not exceed $29 million for authorized purposes, including the Evangeline Groundwater Rights Project and the Reclaimed Water for Industrial Reuse Project.
Council members will also discuss an ordinance to designate Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 7, including the boundaries of the zone. The topics cover creating a board of directors, subzones, and an effective date, provided that the zone takes effect immediately upon passage of the ordinance.
