Agenda Item XHI There was presented a resolution supporting Senate Bill 1693 granting
Res. No. 3481-05- municipalities and counties the authority to create an inland port authority.
2007
Support Senate At the request of Council Member Espino, Assistant City Manager Joe
Bill 1693 Granting Paniagua advised the Council of the following staff concerns with various
Municipalities and provisions included in SB 1693:
Counties
Authority to 1. The legislation was not clear whether the authority was subject to open
Create Inland Port meetings.
Authority 2. Can the authority be created without the consent of the City? It
appeared that a county or two or more counties could create an authority
without the City's involvement (672.051).
3. In order for the City to withdraw from the authority, debt holders must
agree with the withdrawal in writing. If the City had no obligation to
pay the debt of the authority (672.305), why require debt holder
approval.

4. The authority may reimburse a private party for improvements made
(672.202). If this is coupled with the tax exempt status of property
owned by the authority, could this provision be interpreted to make even
current improvements tax exempt if the authority reimbursed the private
party for cost of the improvement?
5. No members of the City Council or staff could be authority board
members (672.103). Staff would prefer this be omitted only to allow for
elected members and employees to be appointed.
6. Are the City's development standards imposed over the portion of the
land that would be in the authority?
7. Relative to voting and quorum (672.104), it appeared that in its current
written form, any number of board members present could conduct and
vote on authority business.
8. Relative to the setting of the property tax rate, the bill allowed for the
inland port authority to set the rate as high as the highest participating
agency. Agreement was reached between staff and the legislative
committee that the property tax rate would be set at a lower level;
perhaps as low as $0.10.
Mike Berry Mr. Mike Berry, 6217 Genoa Road, appeared before Council in support of the
resolution supporting SB 1693. He stated that he had testified in Austin all day.
He further advised Council of the $0.10 cap placed on the tax rate and stated
there would be no residential included. He added that the primary objective of
the bill was to build the City's infrastructure and raising money for future
economic development.
Council Member Davis stated that she did not know much about Inland Port
Authorities but that it appeared they had powers very similar to those of a
municipality, e.g., selling of bonds, eminent domain, special property taxes, etc.
She expressed concern with providing these powers without input by the public
and added that she hoped he worked with City staff and the Council to tailor
these powers per testimony of Mr. Berry while he was in Austin.
Mr. Berry advised that passing SB 1693 did not give Alliance the power to
create an authority. He assured the Council that the public process needed to
take place as well as obtaining approval from the City, County and School
District. He advised that the eminent domain provision was removed from the
bill today and stated that Senator Nelson thought it important that various
government agencies indicate their support of the bill at this time.
