The council appointed Kevin Totten as mayor pro tem by a 4-2 vote with one abstention. It also appointed Stan Carver as deputy mayor pro tem by a 5-2 vote.

In closed session the council considered legal and personnel matters and subsequently voted to retain outside counsel Catherine Clifton of the firm Genaway & Clifton to provide legal services to the city on a personnel matter. The vote was recorded by roll call and carried.

The council also approved an amendment to the city manager's contract. A roll-call vote on that item recorded several affirmative votes; the clerk recorded at least one \"no\" vote by the mayor.

No additional contract terms were read into the public record during the meeting; the council discussed the items in closed session under Texas Government Code chapters cited in the meeting agenda and then took action in open session to implement the decisions.

Ending: City staff did not provide additional public details about the closed-session negotiations on personnel or contract terms during the open-session motion; the council directed staff to execute the approved actions.","After closed session the council appointed Kevin Totten as mayor pro tem and Stan Carver as deputy mayor pro tem, authorized outside counsel for a personnel matter and approved an amendment to the city manager's contract, with recorded roll-call votes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657912,"City staff outlines Anna's 2025-26 strategic work plan and progress on key projects",426,704000,1130000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33&start=704&end=1130","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33/thumbnail_704000.jpg","/articles/6657912/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/City-staff-outlines-Annas-2025-26-strategic-work-plan-and-progress-on-key-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657912-b36e4dbedcac751e9d1cfea1e79a9ccb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437305&Signature=JIhwW7tUeTMzX1KAOfEjkqd2F6HQxg0qzVE7MZaC2ATPHdjhD1pF6HOSNsahn6ap6-6rQucPSKc7-QvnEjSTGCgolu6G1hc4hNYuh9Zu4mG5Wk3v6SYcFL4vl6aFK~xsIeiZGTWr~TCw72F6MYNrqsfBbF9N7jxoFdKnvQbCF1k-VnHqsePRlrr7obCCpcgK1yNX1eZwZdnd-U89vDr3ZpSV3wEHp-Ri-w9upY9QBeTT9e7CW5ElfJNHsqIPK~FSIaExV3Wpis~PWhlRSPs-JAJamkbB2XMJOyR8zhnTLwUO52lxWLPv7gnyywvwQMtBSLbojihZF4vpHvMoOyoZDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assistant City Manager Taylor Law presented an update on the City of Anna's 2025-26 strategic work plan, reviewing progress across seven outcome areas and highlighting infrastructure, public-safety and civic programs under way.

Law reminded the council the strategic framework was developed in late 2022, the vision statement added in August 2024, and council reviewed the plan in January 2025. \"In a fast growing community like Anna, it's essential that we ensure that the city's actions remain aligned with the community's long term vision,\" Law said.

Key highlights Law noted included:
- Adoption of an updated future land use plan (March 25) and ongoing master-thoroughfare work slated for a fall update.
- Water and sewer modeling funding approved in December, with planned updates to come to council within the next two months.
- Construction of the library plaza and interurban pedestrian corridor under way; the inner-urban pedestrian corridor design is on schedule.
- Activation of the Hurricane Creek wastewater treatment plant and acceptance of phase 1 of a utility-relocation project.
- A pilot drainage-assistance program with Northpoint HOA and in-vehicle pavement-condition inspection equipment being installed for real-time assessments.

Law also reviewed community programs: a new volunteer-management system, Neighbor Academy cohort activity, a successful Impact Expo with 35 nonprofits, library card registrations topping 500 and an employee recognition program.

She said staff will continue to report accomplishments at fiscal year end and that council will review the framework, governance guide and vision during a July 25 council retreat.

Ending: Council members had no immediate questions; staff said more presentations and updates will follow throughout the year and that staff will provide the retreat materials for the July session.","Assistant City Manager Taylor Law presented the City of Anna's 2025-26 strategic work plan, reviewed progress on infrastructure, library and parks projects, and described next steps for council review and community engagement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657917,"Centurion to build Standridge access to improve emergency response under amended Shelby Track agreement",215,3832000,4047000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33&start=3832&end=4047","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33/thumbnail_3832000.jpg","/articles/6657917/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/Centurion-to-build-Standridge-access-to-improve-emergency-response-under-amended-Shelby-Track-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657917-5e0c95f51554b88c5cde3ba2773fe915/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437305&Signature=APp9ZK~n8hMkcSpptrtCcLgbbv~fY8o080Ht7hnw3bIA5d4LEfg3BUA1B2FOj2Qd35R33XGK07wHgRTfBF-t71cHC8jZoJooIxjOh7xCjLRylOnxILQ6EN4HjlFZokB6PAdcTIP5YivXWUyjDxUc6IAp74rYFiR5511ar6CUIOhC0mcr2sEn5CVvJU~8AQC97RDlxjY7U5tKz6HvnAMMZL7SyFEXmkzLr0EjtcKk1uyTOA~rmCJRbOhvm2AITCuDjCrDMXr2gIj9pudtLax6Eg28XkBDH83zGZXJrVUMwj5XIMEGknNKj8KNxBYVhI3jTFVRqvwrOPWrMwhSM-9XfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anna City Council unanimously approved a third amendment to the Shelby Track subdivision improvement agreement that reassigns certain construction responsibilities to speed up a road project and improve emergency access.

City Manager Ryan Henderson explained the change was driven by public-safety concerns after Fire Station 2 opened last year. Henderson said crews at Fire Station 2 lack direct northbound access into the area between U.S. 75 and FM 455 and that the proposed Standridge extension will give faster access to Rosamond and the northern portion of the community.

Developer Centurion American agreed to construct the Standridge segment within 12 months under the amendment; in exchange it requested not to be required to build the previously planned commercial component of the development. Trevor Collinger, representing Centurion, said the Standridge segment will initially be built as a two-lane road, with provisions allowing future widening if the city later amends the thoroughfare plan.

\"It will be a 2 lane road, by the way, and then maybe a 4 lane depending on when the city is ready to move that thoroughfare plan in effect,\" Collinger said.

Henderson said Centurion remains responsible for completing the commercial area, but under the amendment Centurion will not be the builder of that commercial component; instead a partner or different owner is expected to take the commercial piece forward.

Council members asked about traffic flow, the intended width of the road and the commercial timeline. Collinger said the partner expected to take over the commercial parcel should close in about 60 to 90 days and that Centurion has started engineering on the Standridge segment and expects to be faster than the 12-month contractual window if possible.

The motion to approve the amendment passed unanimously.

Ending: City staff said construction engineering has already begun and the city will monitor the project to ensure Standridge is built to provide the intended public-safety access within the agreed timeframe.","Council approved a third amendment to the Shelby Track subdivision improvement agreement obligating Centurion American to construct Standridge to improve access to the northern part of the city and expedite Fire Station 2 response; Centurion will not retain the earlier commercial-construction obligation.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657922,"Anna council hears overview of HFC/PFC tools as members question multifamily growth",854,1712000,2566000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33&start=1712&end=2566","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065292-9c8b26521f1e601f88a75d1c6a5e4b33/thumbnail_1712000.jpg","/articles/6657922/Anna/Collin-County/Texas/Anna-council-hears-overview-of-HFCPFC-tools-as-members-question-multifamily-growth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657922-d5fdc5f10e4863c0f0a20a6ceb712fbd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437305&Signature=LcHtcrZ6n79a6Rk7aahjPVtEIUoRDfqvoLA~2JdcRr~kdkrOzfQc0NgN-aj0VLimXTIi3SM9AV3cHyGL52KpMp7CLJyMeThuLZn9zWb7NUsZ39QOBe4ADGssPA6RrWU65aTFI0lRFxLPy8OBdgRXHx9Psyn7NbpVGbNRFVzW-HSUFZOWutpXNaVD05qOen7qBbWmZS0Y1G-v-kJJw00MuKwF2kdLjK~TTAfYoq7CV6V-vMd7Cm07Y2MrTcTRyQ9DkdWVd4ZoHT05yFwIDNe6FQddqj--tupU8ARMjZYLQJylFs3LtTwrHUG9JA5piwt3v4v8-4~9b2FFpQvhzOFEpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anna City Council on Tuesday heard a detailed briefing on the city's use of Housing Finance Corporation and Public Facility Corporation tools to support multifamily projects, and several council members said the city should be cautious about offering more incentives.

Advisers and city staff said the two corporate vehicles provide tax and financing benefits that can be structured to yield lower rents for residents while recapturing some financial benefit for the city. Ryan Bowen, an attorney with Chapman and Cutler, told the council the HFCs and PFCs operate under state law — chapter 394 for HFCs and chapter 303 for PFCs — and typically come before the council at multiple points because the city council serves as the entities' board of directors.

\"By partnering with private developers ... you do bring an ad valorem tax exemption,\" Bowen said, adding that federal tax rules and statute require set-asides for units targeted to households at particular shares of area median income.

Tim Nelson, financial adviser with Hilltop Securities, showed the council four developments that have used the city's HFC/PFC structure. He said those projects bring lower rents for tenants during the early, higher-construction years and produce lease payments to the HFC/PFC thereafter. Nelson estimated the four projects will yield about $2.1 million to the city-affiliated entities this year and smaller amounts in later years as construction completes.

Council members pressed staff and the advisers on local consequences. Councilman Kevin Totten said rapid multifamily growth has put pressure on schools and public safety and said the council needs to consider \"how much is too much.\" Totten asked for data on police calls and school enrollments tied to HFC/PFC properties; staff said they can provide those numbers.

Other council members and staff described guardrails the city has used. Nelson said the city's deals include secondary tests intended to ensure projects deliver rent savings that are meaningful relative to market rents. \"We typically build in a requirement that ... there always has to be a 10% advantage to the market rents for these low-market properties,\" he said.

Council members also questioned whether the tools remain necessary in a DFW market with abundant multifamily supply. Several members noted one project on the agenda that had been reconfigured to market-rate rather than use HFC/PFC tools, and staff said some developers are choosing that route.

Bernie Parker, director of economic development, said the HFC and PFC are part of a toolbox for recruiting and expanding businesses and housing and that the EDC and city use other incentives as well, including fee waivers and tax increment financing.

Council members sought a simple written framework for evaluating future HFC/PFC requests. Councilman Singh asked staff and advisers to provide clear qualifying criteria and public-benefit calculations for future proposals. Mayor Cain said she wants the city to keep the tool available but to be \"prudent and thoughtful\" in its use.

No formal action was required or taken on the HFC/PFC presentation. Staff and the advisers said they would follow up with the requested data and a suggested public-benefit rubric for council consideration.

Ending: City staff said they will deliver requested breakout data on tax abatement comparisons, construction-period sales-tax estimates, police calls and school-enrollment impacts tied to HFC/PFC projects, and a recommended qualification framework for future incentive requests.","City officials and outside advisers briefed the council on how the city's Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) and Public Facility Corporation (PFC) have been used to support multifamily developments, prompting debate about impacts on schools, public safety and when the city should use those incentives.","actionData","errors"]
