The board approved a reappropriation of previously awarded park funds totaling roughly $2.8 million to multiple park projects. Allocations announced on the record included Watley Park, Old Settlers Park design, Greens Neighborhood Park, a mobile stage, Horizon Park, the Towne Lake recreation center project and Irvin Park. Board members moved and seconded the reallocation and the motion passed by voice vote.

The board also approved a $500,000 project grant to Direction 613 (application 4B2510) to support infrastructure and public-access improvements tied to a proposed transitional-living facility for young adults aging out of foster care at 3286 County Road 168. The board motion approving the grant was conditioned on the applicant’s voluntary annexation into the City of McKinney; that condition was stated in the motion and accepted before the vote.

Separately, the board approved a project grant to the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary (application 4B20511) for trail improvements at 1 Nature Place. The requested contribution represented a majority share of the listed project cost on the agenda; the board voted to approve the request.

After an executive session, the board reconvened and approved the terms and agreements for a confidential economic-development item listed as Project Mirage. The motion to approve the executive-session terms was made on the record at the meeting’s conclusion and approved by vote.

Votes and procedural notes recorded in the meeting transcript include the following, as stated on the record: the consent agenda item was moved by Deborah Bradford and seconded by David Resheck and passed; the parks reappropriation was moved by Joy (board member) and seconded by Marcus (Marcus Lloyd, seated for Chris Wilkes) and passed; the Direction 613 grant motion was recorded as made by Jay Brachey and seconded by AJ and passed; the Heard Natural Science Museum grant was moved by Marcus and seconded by AJ and passed. The executive-session action to approve Project Mirage terms was moved and approved after reconvening from closed session. No roll-call tallies were given in the public transcript; outcomes were recorded as motions passed or approved.

The board did not publish detailed vote tallies on the public record during the meeting; motions were typically approved by voice or show-of-hands. No amendments to the approved motions were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.

What this means: the CDC has committed funds to several parks and community projects and has approved a conditional grant to support a transitional-living facility serving young adults exiting foster care, contingent on annexation. The board also advanced an economic-development agreement in executive session by approving terms for Project Mirage.

Items that remain to be completed in public records: documentation of the full text of the agreements approved in executive session (Project Mirage) and any final contract or interlocal terms; a public accounting or project schedule for how the reappropriated park funds will be spent across the listed projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","McKinney - McKinney Economic Development Corporation - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The McKinney Community Development Corporation voted on several funding and project items during its May 20, 2025 meeting, approving a reallocation of previously awarded park funds, three project grants and terms for a project discussed in executive session.","taxTitle","McKinney, Collin County, Texas","taxId",2778,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534943,"McKinney CDC finance director: April revenue spike driven by debt issuance; sales tax receipts down year-to-date",195,898000,1093000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3449093-8e4890f2b37b6aded999aebabcf1024a&start=898&end=1093","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3449093-8e4890f2b37b6aded999aebabcf1024a/thumbnail_898000.jpg","/articles/6534943/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/McKinney-CDC-finance-director-April-revenue-spike-driven-by-debt-issuance-sales-tax-receipts-down-year-to-date","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534943-c04181a5f8a93cc58d5f86871c14621a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770425319&Signature=MiVAADZaNEis8M9xgThxNxATmYgCZ6nPPG85WN3nbCTcFomyZOU99CG-XqwAgaRbAu5iU8luxPnpJwYlSGOVRuxcb8b00svKV4hH~VxAEdHf0Cbh5zXmfJPxHcoWPesSfYXx8befmceYf4bkJvzwiAY541RBlj6tKz7pug-YbLjcAWEkPcbBRiFsElaWExKnhSBaVYs1fhIrYzhweayG-5raWO-wB1EPRZCCjVBwcV6r406oiKTbH00GhHoawBXPqu79z1s87ROurF5CLGEDGJHim88u4a6ZFF6wqYceLfXht5jOG1jlj9y0DIMDJUdm9fyP65M1PgP9LWAgfztHKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chance Miller, assistant finance director, briefed the McKinney Community Development Corporation on the CDC’s April financials and broader regional revenue trends.

Miller said the CDC recorded about $32.1 million in revenues for April, largely due to the issuance of debt, which accounting rules under the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) require the city to record as revenue when issued and to show related expenditures in subsequent months. Operational expenditures for the period included roughly $286,000 in operating costs and about $573,000 in project costs, the majority of which Miller said were community grants. Nondepartmental expenses included about $240,000 of bond-issuance costs tied to the debt issuance.

On sales tax, Miller said April collections apply to February economic activity and showed a 5.4% decrease for that period, bringing year-to-date figures to a 2.7% decline compared with the prior year. The assistant finance director noted regional variance: Allen showed stronger gains, Frisco and Plano had different trajectories, and North Texas overall was softer. Miller said preliminary May numbers looked closer to a 2% increase and that summer months will be important for meeting the budget targets.

Miller told the board the city is monitoring retail-trade trends as the principal driver of the April decrease. He said staff will continue to update the board as final data for the summer months and the budget season become available; the city manager’s recommended budget is expected to be prepared through July and presented at an August budget work session.

Speakers and sources: the presentation and figures were given by Chance Miller; he referenced GASB accounting practice in explaining the April revenue spike from debt issuance.","Assistant Finance Director Chance Miller told the McKinney CDC that April’s revenue spike was driven by debt issuance recorded under GASB rules, while sales tax receipts showed a year-to-date decline compared with the prior year.",{"_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},6534948,"McKinney staff outline community process for five-year consolidated plan to guide HUD-funded housing and community development",407,410000,817000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3449093-8e4890f2b37b6aded999aebabcf1024a&start=410&end=817","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3449093-8e4890f2b37b6aded999aebabcf1024a/thumbnail_410000.jpg","/articles/6534948/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/McKinney-staff-outline-community-process-for-five-year-consolidated-plan-to-guide-HUD-funded-housing-and-community-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534948-1e756a305843f47e124e01e6334dac4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770425319&Signature=iKIh7JC2mzFIkIQUd98dFBfbtEWqMhMUHoE0UkDSyE04Cs1YBWJe6NFZWkq~DVKhN6dTD7dPPsLFYnce-90Yj7rOTD1DdZspR2iSHn9MmL5EAkBAaVvm8CAIHYAG0chyj8mgpoGq9VNZM5K~QezLPFYTcocYkLkVYehSdSMyFEKQ7Qx7nEq8oMsHUiIBBXzAE2ttpP8fa76Vr8robgifcrQwMIGvtZjhuWC2qEFg-sLGQOhBP0LElntSYKzQDUodkON0LAug31nHcjhkAgSeLJdBdiPa8plbzL5F~2uS6TJXrykUQAxvaIn2Od5FwlRggKc0-BMhJEB1ttT2TFIAYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Shalita Best, Community Services administrator for the City of McKinney’s Housing and Community Development Department, briefed the McKinney Community Development Corporation on the city’s five-year consolidated plan and the related annual action plan for federal funding.

Best described the consolidated plan as the framework the city uses to allocate federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). She said the department is preparing a consolidated plan to cover the next five years, with the draft expected to be completed in August and the corresponding annual action plan developed from that framework.

The presentation outlined outreach plans: surveys, one-on-one meetings, community forums and targeted engagement with residents who are low- to moderate-income (LMI), persons of color, persons with disabilities, unsheltered residents and neighborhood advocates. Best said the process also accounts for disaster-impact considerations and coordination with departments such as planning and emergency management to determine whether substantial amendments will be required after storms or other disasters.

Best urged CDC board members to help publicize the outreach and to participate. She said the department will supply a community survey and additional materials within days so board members can share them with constituents and stakeholders. The consolidated plan process will inform the city’s annual allocations and the Community Grants Advisory Commission’s recommendations.

What staff said they will do next: complete the consolidated-plan draft in August; collect public input through multiple channels; return to council and the public in December with an annual report on how HUD and local community development funds were used.

Speakers and context: the item was presented by Shalita Best; board members asked no substantive follow-up questions on the record. The presentation emphasized inclusion of language access for non-English speakers and outreach to entities such as hospitals and public-housing providers as part of the participation strategy.","City staff described the five-year consolidated plan process used to allocate HUD Community Development Block Grant and HOME program funds, and urged board members to help publicize upcoming surveys and engagement sessions.","actionData","errors"]
