2. DISCUSS DAVIS BOULEVARD AND BOULEVARD 26 CORRIDOR
REVITALIZATION PLANNING.
Deputy City Manager Paulette Hartman informed City Council that staff was directed at
the goals work session to explore tools to create special zones in specific areas to
encourage development and redevelopment. City Council is familiar with Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zones (TIRZ) and another option is a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone
(NEZ). At the goals works session, staff understood from City Council that the specific
areas to target are Davis Boulevard between Smithfield Road and North East Loop 820
and Boulevard 26 between Harwood and North East Loop 820. Ms. Hartman reviewed the
differences between a TIRZ and NEZ. A NEZ has a short term while the TIRZ has a long
term, typically 20-25 years. Ms. Hartman explained that the NEZ is created to stimulate
revitalization/redevelopment through measures to remove barriers to revitalization or
redevelopment of aged properties in the zone. A TIRZ is created to capture revenue from
incremental taxable value increases in the zone to provide funds for capital projects to
improve public and private infrastructure as well as facilities in an effort to promote
revitalization and redevelopment in the zone. She reviewed eligible activities, processes
and procedures for both zones. She also reviewed recommended activities and
application/project deadlines. Staff is seeking direction from City Council with regard to
zone boundaries and creation of zones.
City Council directed staff to move forward with both zones.

Kudos Korner - Library Staff - We received numerous notes of appreciation following the
Free Comic Book Day event at the Library. One resident wrote: "It was a fabulous event.
My grandson loved it! The scavenger hunt was an ingenious way to get kids to explore
sections they might not have otherwise. Great job!" Another said, "Great event. My
daughter is still talking about it."
