THE DEVELOPER.

WE ASKED FOR THAT WHEN THEY WERE, UH, WHEN WE DID THE PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE.

AND THEY, UH, THEY AGREED TO THAT AND THEY BUILT THE BRIDGE.

THEY PAID FOR IT A HUNDRED PERCENT.

AND HOW MUCH WAS THAT BRIDGE, DO YOU KNOW? UH, OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

I KNOW THAT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT, BECAUSE THEY, THEY BUILT IT THEMSELVES.

THEY WORKED OUT WITH THE COUNTY CUZ THERE WAS SOME COUNTY DRAINAGE, UH, NEGOTIATION.

AND THEY, THEY WORKED THAT OUT.

UM, AND, UM, WE DID AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM AND THE COUNTY AND, AND, UH, THEY, THEY PAID FOR IT A HUNDRED PERCENT.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SO WE'RE NOT BUILDING A BRIDGE.

WE'RE NOT BUILDING A BRIDGE, WE'RE JUST CONNECTING.

MAKE SURE CONDUCTING THE BRIDGE.

WE'RE ON THE RECORD THAT WE'RE NOT BUILDING A BRIDGE, CONNECTING THE EXISTING BRIDGE TO THE AMENITIES WITHIN THE PARK.

I JUST WANTED TO BE THERE.

ARE RESOLUTIONS SEVEN A, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY SECRETARY TO ATTEST AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS, AND RAYMOND W. HOWARD PC PERTAINING TO CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS TO AN APPROXIMATELY 0.436 ACRE TRACT OF LAND LOCATED IN THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS, PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS PARKWAY CARTWRIGHT ROAD FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY JENNIFER ALEXANDER.

YES.

ATLANTIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.

AARON COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2021, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TEXAS PARKWAY CARTRIGHT ROAD BASAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THE LAW OFFICE OF RAYMOND HOWARD PC HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR ELIGIBLE ITEMS. THE LAW OFFICE IS LOCATED OFF OF 13 0 3 TURTLE CREEK DRIVE, WHICH IS AT THE EASTERN END OF THE CITY LIMITS.

THE YEAR OF THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1973.

THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE TEXAS PARKWAY, CARTWRIGHT ROAD CORRIDOR, AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.

BOTH HAVE PROVIDED POSITIVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS APPLICATION TO BE BROUGHT FORTH TONIGHT.

THIS IS THE PROJECT SCOPE FOR THE FACADE IMPROVEMENTS, $49,997 AND 18 CENTS.

THIS WILL BE TO REPLACE THE EXIT DOOR REPLACEMENT AND SIGNAGE REPLACEMENT MONUMENT SIGNS.

AND THEN WE HAVE LANDSCAPING FOR $2,287 AND 50 CENTS.

THIS IS THE FLOWERED RESTORATION IRRIGATION AND ANY SHRUBS THAT NEED TO BE PLACED ALONG THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS, $34,640.

THIS IS FOR PARKING LOT RESTORATION.

THE MAX REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE 75% OF THE PROJECT COSTS AT $65,193 AND 51 CENTS.

ALL RIGHT.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'LL START WITH THE REAR DOOR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THEY WILL BE REPLACING THAT, AND IT SHOULD BE MORE UNIFORM TO THE DOORS THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

ALSO, THEY WILL BE ADDING SOME NEW SIGNAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

THE CURRENT SIGN HAS BEEN KIND OF DILAPIDATED.

IT'S, UM, KIND OF FADED, SO THEY'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THAT.

AND THEN THE SHRUBS AND THE LANDSCAPING RIGHT THERE IN THAT FLOWER BED.

THEY CURRENTLY DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.

SO WE'RE GONNA REVITALIZE THAT AND ALSO ADD IN THE IRRIGATION.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING FACING AWAY FROM TEXAS PARKWAY, AND THEY'LL BE ADDING THAT SIGNAGE THERE.

CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO SIGN, THIS IS THE STREET VIEW FROM TEXAS PARKWAY.

THERE'S CURRENTLY NO SIGNAGE THERE EITHER.

IT WILL BE ADDING THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN THIS IS THE SIDE THAT FACES THE AUTO STORE THAT IS OFF OF TEXAS PARKWAY.

ADDITIONALLY, THAT SIGN IS NOT THERE, SO WE WILL BE ADDING THAT.

THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT FACES TEXAS PARKWAY.

THEY WILL BE ADDING THE SIGNAGE, WE'LL REPLACING THE SIGNAGE THAT'S ON THE BUILDING, AND THEN ADDING THE MONUMENT SIGN.

THE MONUMENT SIGN WILL ACTUALLY BE PERPENDICULAR TO

[00:45:01]

AS FAR AS LANDSCAPING, AGAIN, WE HAVE THE FLOWERED RESTORATION.

THAT'S CURRENTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

THEY WILL BE UPDATING THE IRRIGATION AND ANY SHRUBS AND BUSHES FOR BUFFERING ALONG THE STREET LINE.

AND THEN YOU, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BUSHES AT THE BACK REAR OF THE BUILDING ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED.

MY APOLOGIES ON THE, THE PHOTO, THIS IS FROM GOOGLE EARTH, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY NEED TO REPAVE THE PARKING LOT.

THERE'S ALSO NO STRIPING DONE.

UM, SO THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY REDONE.

AND THEN AGAIN, I WILL SHOW YOU THE PROJECT SCOPE.

AGAIN, THESE ARE ESTIMATES.

MAX REIMBURSEMENT, 75,000, UH, 75% IS $65,000.

193 CENTS, $93 AND 51 CENTS.

EXCUSE ME.

THEY HAVE 60 DAYS TO COMMENCE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN 18 MONTHS FOR COMPLETION.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

OKAY.

SEE THAT? THANK YOU.

JENNIFER, I SEE THAT WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

UM, I'M RECOGNIZING COUNCILS TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU, JENNIFER.

UM, AS YOU MENTIONED, IT CAME BEFORE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF CLOUDER, EMORY AND I, AND WE'RE EXCITED.

THIS IS ANOTHER FACADE PROGRAM.

UM, AND THIS IS THE EXTENSION THAT WE ALL AGREED ON TO EXTEND THE PROGRAM AFTER THAT.

SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE A TENANT, UH, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT INCENTIVE.

IN THAT MEETING, WE DISCUSSED, UM, POSSIBLY HAVING SOME MISSOURI CITY LOGO OR SOME SORT OF MISSOURI CITY DESIGNATION ON THAT BRICK FENCE.

I MEAN, THAT BRICK SIGN, WAS THERE ANY DIALOGUE ON THAT? YES.

SO I DID GET WITH THE BUSINESS OWNER, THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS A PHENOMENAL IDEA, CONSIDERING THAT'S KIND OF THE ENTRY POINT, RIGHT FROM THAT EASTERN END.

THEY DEFINITELY SAID THEY WOULD GET WITH THE SIGNAGE COMPANY TO LOOK INTO THAT, AND THEY WERE VERY OPEN TO THAT.

OKAY.

YES.

AND THEN ALSO ON THE LANDSCAPE WE TALKED ABOUT RIGHT ON THE SKIRT OF THE PROPERTY, WAS VERY KIND OF JUST NOT VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

WERE THEY GONNA INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR PACKAGE? SO ACTUALLY ANY RENOVATIONS THAT ARE DONE TO A PROPERTY OF THAT AGE, THEY HAVE TO ADHERE TO OUR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

PERFECT.

AND SO IN THAT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADD THE SHRUBS ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE.

SO YES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

RECOGNIZING, MAY I APPROACH M BON? I JUST WANNA SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

THIS, THIS CAME BEFORE OUR TEXAS PARKWAY CARTWRIGHT, UH, CORRIDOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

MATTER OF FACT, THIS PROGRAM ORIGINATED FROM THAT COMMITTEE.

AND AS CHAIR, I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD.

THIS IS OUR SECOND, SECOND PROJECT THAT HAS COME BEFORE US AS A COUNCIL.

SO PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM.

IT WAS MUCH NEEDED.

AND, UH, BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO NOW OFFER THIS, CAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS A REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM.

SO YOU BASICALLY ARE INVESTING IN YOUR OWN PROPERTY AND CITIES INCENTIVIZING YOU TO DO THAT UP TO 75%.

SO THIS IS ONE, UM, OF TWO THAT WE'VE DONE, AND WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO TO ENHANCE THE CORRIDOR.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT THESE TYPES OF ENHANCEMENTS ARE GOING TO ENCOURAGE OTHER STRIP CENTER OWNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE ON THE CORRIDOR, TEXAS PARKWAY, CARTWRIGHT, UH, TO DO THE SAME.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME INTEREST, SOME APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED IN OUR FU UH, WILL BE SUBMITTED IN THE FUTURE.

SO I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES ON, ON CITY COUNCIL, UH, FOR, UH, HOPEFULLY APPROVING THIS PARTICULAR ITEM TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

UM, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

I DON'T SEE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE QUEUE.

DO WANNA SAY THAT COUNCIL MEMBER RON MARSHALL HAS THEIR FIRST, SECOND .

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HAVE BUY ONE VOTE.

BUY ONE MORE.

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HAVE THE NEXT ONE AS A MOTION.

THE MOTION CARRIES SIX TO ZERO.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, JENNIFER.
