designated under Section 311.005(a)(4) of the Texas Tax Code; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 12324 provides that the Reinvestment Zone is to be

member is the State Senator whose district lies within the Reinvestment Zone or a
designee; one (1) member is the State Representative whose district lies within the
Reinvestment Zone or a designee; each county and school district with jurisdiction in the
Reinvestment Zone that has elected to contribute tax increment to the Reinvestment Zone
has the right to appoint one (1) member apiece; and the City Council has the right to
appoint all remaining members; and

and took effect on June 17, 2011, amended Section 311.009 of the Texas Tax Code
regarding the appointment of members to the Boards of tax increment reinvestment zones
and preempts any conflicting provision of Ordinance No. 12324; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 311.009(b) of the Texas Tax Code, as amended
by House Bill 2853, all taxing units other than the City that have elected to contribute
tax increment to the Reinvestment Zone, and not just each participating county and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 311.009(b) of the Texas Tax Code, as amended
by House Bill 2853, the size of the Board remains at nine (9) members, meaning that for
each taxing unit that has now gained the right to appoint a Board member, the City
Council will lose the right to make an appointment; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 3837 -01 -2010, five (5) members of the
current Board were appointed by the City Council, all with terms expiring December 31,
