05/07/96
ITEM 4A. CITIZENS COMMENTS. MR. JOHN T. LYNCH IV
City Secretary Huff reported that Mr. John T. Lynch, IV had submitted a letter dated
May 7, 1996 expressing opposition and concerns regarding the establishment of the
Tax Increment Financing District. Copies of the letter were copied and distributed to
the City Council as requested by Mr. Lynch.
ITEM 4B. CITIZENS COMMENTS, MS. PAT CARLSON
Ms. Pat Carlson, 3526 Quail Crest, representing the Citizens for Responsible Tax
Policy, read the following letter into the record:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My name is Pat Carlson. I have some concerns about the Grapevine Mills
Mall. One of my concerns is that I believe that the city council is not being
completely honest with the citizens of Grapevine. The city has assured citizens
of Grapevine that the TIF will not be recognized by the sate as added property
wealth regarding the Robin Hood law, but the city cannot be sure of this.
When I attended the G/CISD board meeting where the TIF was voted on, I
heard many questions raised about Robin Hood by a lawyer who spoke and as
I investigated myself by calling officials in Austin such as the attorney for the
� Texas Education Agency, I found that there are indeed many gray areas
surrounding TIF's and Robin Hood. This is acknowledged in an analysis that
was distributed by G/CISD in which it says:
Accounting for the tax increment revenue is, quite frankly, more of a gray area:
in part because very few TIFs exist throughout the state, and in part because
Chapter 41 school districts like Grapevine-Colleyville lSD are very recent
designations. To our knowledge, the question of how to report tax revenue
generated by captured value within a TlF has never been specifically raised or
addressed by TEA.
By G/CISD's own admission there are many gray areas surrounding TIFs and
Robin Hood, so how can the city not warn its citizens that by approving this
TIF we are indeed taking a risk with taxpayer money.
At the very least the City of Grapevine should have in writing an escape clause
with this developer saying that if G/CISD does have to recognize this TIF in
added property value or if taxes have to be raised as a direct result of this TIF,
then the district can withdraw from the agreement or the developer will have
to pay added taxes.
A second concern I have is simply a question of fairness regarding businesses
in Grapevine. When my husband and I brought a business to Grapevine in
3
05/07/96
1981 , the city did not give us a tax break. In fact, we had a hard time getting
zoning laws changed. WHAT IS GOOD FOR ONE BUSINESS SHOULD BE
GOOD FOR ALL BUSINESSES!
In my opinion, it is not right for the city to give a tax break to a large wealthy
land developer who can well afford to pay his fair share of taxes, but then on
the other hand not give any tax break to small businesses who have a hard
time paying their taxes. THIS IS WHAT I WOULD CALL CORPORATE
WELFARE!
As a fiscal conservative, I believe that tax abatements, TIFs, or tax breaks are
only appropriate sometime. The sometime being when an area is depressed.
This area is definitely not depressed. There was an article in the Fort Worth
Star Telegram April 6, 1996 entitled "200 percent growth in jobs projected for
NE Tarrant". If we were "Stop 6" in Fort Worth an abatement would be
appropriate, but we are in the fastest growing area in Tarrant Co. We do not
have to give abatements or TIFs to anyone to draw businesses to this area.
If Grapevine would loan my husband and me money to buy land, make personal
improvements, and let us pay back the loan over the next 17 years with money
that we normally would be paying in taxes, we will move our business back to
Grapevine tomorrow."
Following her letter, Ms. Carlson stated the interpretation of the effects of the tax
increment financing district on Grapevine citizens and the school district were strictly
her own after reading the Feasibility Study prepared by the City of Grapevine for the
Tax Increment Financing District. She noted that as a result of her legislative
experience, it was her opinion that proposed bills or legislation should be read as
"what would be the worst case scenario that could result from the bill."
Mayor Tate requested Ms. Carlson's support to the community in preserving its
current tax base by assisting the City during the next legislative session to maintain
the taxes currently received from the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Ms.
Carlson responded that she would like to share information with the City regarding
that issue.
ITEM 4C. CITIZENS COMMENTS, MR. KEN JOHNSON
Mr. Ken Johnson, 525 Dunn Court, realtor, expressed his enthusiastic support of the
proposed Grapevine Mills project and applauded the City Council's leadership as it
relates to the project. He noted the positive effects the project would have on the
City: creation of approximately 5,000 new jobs which would create a demand for
additional goods and services from Grapevine; terrific geographical location in relation
to residential development and highway systems. He stated that completion of the
4
05/07/96
project would increase the City's tax base and provide additional revenue for future
positive growth which he has experienced in the City since his locating here in 1976.
ITEM 4D. CITIZENS COMMENTS, MS. KATHEE LIVENGOOD
Ms. Kathee Livengood, 2948 Trail Lake, realtor and business owner in Grapevine,
stated support for the proposed Grapevine Mills project. As a concerned citizen, she
wants the tax base that the Grapevine Mills project could provide and that as a
business owner, it is to the advantage of local businesses that the City's tax base be
as low as possible. The project could only bring more businesses and money to the
area, as well as create additional jobs. As past president of the Grapevine Chamber
of Commerce, she noted that's what people are here for -- to make the City grow and
enhance the community.
I_TEM 4E. CITIZENS COMMENTS. MR. PHIL MORLEY
Mr. Phil Morley, 2166 Wedgewood, stated that as a 10 year resident of Grapevine,
he has seen remarkable transformation in growth and quality of environment. He
expressed support for the Mills project, for the creation of jobs, economic benefits to
both the State and local economy, and tourism dollars. The proposed mall project is
an outstanding opportunity for the City. He commended the City Council and the
School Board for their efforts in representing the interests of Grapevine residents.
ITEM 4F. CITIZENS COMMENTS. MR. MIKE BROWN
Mr. Mike Brown, General Sales Manager for Classic Chevrolet and Grapevine resident,
expressed his support for the Tax Increment Financing District and the Grapevine Mills
Project. He stated the City needs to be competitive in economic development and he
fully supports the City Council and the City Staff in their research and efforts to do
what is right for the community.
ITEM 4G. CITIZENS COMMENTS, MR. CRAIG NEILL
Mr. Craig Neill, 3037 Creekview Drive, President of Creekwood West Homeowners
Association, stated a petition had been submitted to City Manager Petty signed by a
majority of the homeowners requesting the City Council consider placing a masonry
sound retention wall along Pool Road during the Pool Road widening project. The
basis for the request is that the bridge at Big Bear Creek will be elevated and widened,
5 thereby eliminating most of the trees that currently serve as a sound buffer. There
are concerns regarding a proposed speed increase once Pool Road is widened. On
behalf of the association, he requested favorable consideration of the masonry wall
and that it be placed on a future agenda for action.
5
05/07/96
There was no discussion by the City Council regarding the request. ;
Mayor Tate briefly commented regarding the proposed Tax Increment Financing
District ("TIF"). He reported that the City Council and City Staff have hired some of
the most knowledgeable tax experts in Texas to interpret and advise the City
regarding the creation of a TIF.
He stated that an enormous infrastructure is required when development the size of
the proposed mall comes to any community. If the City spent $20 million in General
Obligations bonds to build the streets, water and sewer lines required for this type
development, every citizen would have to pay tax dollars to support and pay back the
bonds for those improvements. By creating the TIF, it allows the taxes from the mall,
not the rest of the taxpayers, to pay the cost of constructing the facilities, and that
is the reason the City Council has elected to utilize the TIF. He stated that only about
50% of the taxes generated from the mall will be in the TIF, with about $4 million in
tax revenues, sales taxes, and tax on personal property generated for the taxing
authorities.
He noted that communities do not get the type of development proposed (the mall)
without some type of tax incentive or economic incentives. State law provides for
development incentives, and, if you (a city) are to be competitive, incentives have to
be utilized. Without creating the TIF, there would be no possibility of the mall and the
benefits that it would generate immediately to the community.
Council Member Pittman stated there are currently no streets, sewer or water lines,
drainage, electric or gas lines, in the proposed TIF area as there are in other parts of
the City. Infrastructures already in place are a tax benefit to existing businesses and
allows small businesses to establish in Grapevine. The area proposed for the TIF will
eventually develop (if not the mall) and the infrastructure will still be required to be
constructed.
ITEM 5. RESOLUTION, DECLARE RESULTS 1996 CITY OFFICER ELECTION
City Secretary Huff requested the City Council consider a resolution declaring the
results of the May 4, 1996 City Officer Election. She noted there are 21 ,387
registered voters in Grapevine and that there were 442 votes cast during the election
