FDC 2010 -001 AUTHORIZE TYPE B FUNDS FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES
APPROVED
Mr. Craig Hulse, Economic Development Director, presented the item. The Buxton Group
has submitted a proposal to the City that will promote the City and business development.
Buxton Group will provide services to identify, research and verify North Richland Hills
trade areas, evaluate the retail potential for each trade area and match retailers and
restaurants to selected trade areas. The proposal calls for a FY 2009/10 investment of
$70,000 to $90,000, depending on the number of trade areas matched for retailing. If
approved, funds will be appropriated from the Reserve for Economic Development, which
is a component of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation Fund. At
the City's option, continued use and data updates will be provided for $1,000 per month
beginning in January 2011. This cost will be proposed in the FY 2010/2011 Economic
Development Operating Budget funded through the Parks and Recreation Facilities
Development Fund, Reserve for Economic Development. The Texas Local Government
Code provides that a Type B corporation may spend not more than 10 percent of the
corporate revenues for promotional purposes. Staff is recommending the Board authorize
an expenditure not to exceed $90,000 from the Parks and Recreation Facilities
Development Fund, Reserve for Economic Development for services provided by the
Buxton Group.
BOARD MEMBER LEWIS MOVED TO APPROVE FDC 2010-001, AUTHORIZING AN EXPENDITURE NOT
TO EXCEED $90,000 FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FUND,
RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE BUXTON GROUP.
