Fran Erwin, the city’s liaison and director of communications engagement, opened the officer-election portion and told the board, “This is the time of year where you are going to be electing your officers.” After nominations and a motion, the board approved a slate by voice vote that the transcript records as Steven Johnson for president, Ryan (Wood) for vice president, Fran Erwin as secretary (city staff liaison) and Erica (finance department) as treasurer.

The City Attorney’s Office presenter reviewed the Type B corporation’s authority and limits, reminding members that the Type B corporation is funded by “one half of 1¢ of the local sales tax collected for the City Of Cedar Park dedicated to the promotion of economic and community development projects within the city.” The presenter outlined types of projects Type B may fund — including land, buildings, equipment and targeted infrastructure for job-creating business enterprises, streets and utilities, public safety facilities and certain community-development projects such as parks and tourist venues — and explained that many such projects require performance agreements that set capital-investment and job-creation commitments and remedies if a project does not move forward.

The presenter also covered open-government obligations. Board members were told that information related to official city business is presumptively public under the Texas Public Information Act and that the board must provide requested records to the city within 10 days to allow the city to evaluate exemptions and, if necessary, seek an attorney general opinion. On open meetings, the presenter reminded members that any discussion of official Type B business among a quorum is a meeting and that the board must post notice at least 72 hours in advance; the presenter noted the upcoming change to the Open Meetings Act that will require three business days’ notice beginning in September.

The presenter summarized ethics and gift rules, saying the Texas penal code prohibits accepting a benefit in exchange for an official decision and that board members generally may not accept gifts exceeding $50, with some narrow exemptions for hosted travel and hospitality. Attendance rules from the board’s rules of procedure were also recapped: missing three consecutive meetings or more than 50% of meetings in a 12-month period can result in removal from the seat.

Fran Erwin said she will send details about the Texas Economic Development Council conference (a statewide conference with a December in-person event in South Austin and a virtual option) and that the city will cover costs for members who choose to attend.

The slate of officers was approved by motion and second and adopted by voice vote; the transcript shows the vote as “Aye” with the motion carrying but does not provide a roll-call tally. Multiple speakers expressed congratulations during closing comments, and the chair adjourned the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cedar Park - Community Development Corporation (Type B Board)","oneSentenceSummary","The City Attorney’s Office gave the Cedar Park Community Development Type B board an annual legal presentation on eligible projects, open records and open meetings rules and ethics.

The board convened an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for attorney consultation before returning to open session and taking the vote. In opening the closed session, the chair said, “In accordance with chapter 5 5 1 government code, the community development type b corporation board will now convene in closed executive session pursuant to the following provisions of the Open Meetings Act, chapter 5 5 1 of the Texas Government Code.”

The motion to approve the amendments was made and seconded in open session and adopted by voice vote. The transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote—“All those in favor, say aye. Aye. All those opposed, no. Ayes have it.”—but does not record who moved or seconded or a roll-call tally.

City Attorney’s Office staff had previously explained to the board that performance agreements outline capital improvements and job commitments and include provisions to make the corporation whole if a project does not move forward. As the presenter summarized during the board’s legal overview, “these projects require a performance agreement that outlines the various capital improvements and jobs that must be created with the project and the way that the corporation can be made whole in the event that the project does not move forward.” The presenter also reviewed categories of projects the Type B corporation may fund, including streets, utilities, public safety facilities and certain community development projects.

The transcript does not specify the exact changes included in the approved amendment to the PG Cedar Park Group agreement, nor does it state any timetable for implementation or additional approvals. The record indicates the board used attorney consultation under Texas Government Code chapter 551.071 to discuss legal issues related to the agreement prior to the vote.

No further follow-up actions, reporting deadlines or vote tallies were specified in the public portion of the transcript.","The Cedar Park Community Development Type B Sales Tax Corporation board voted to approve amendments to its amended and restated economic development performance agreement with PG Cedar Park Group after an executive session for attorney consultation.","actionData","errors"]
