Texas Government Code (the “Open Meetings Act”), the HCEDC hereby adopts the following
procedures that shall govern the creation and administration of agendas for all HCEDC meetings:
A. Agenda Creation Procedures.
1. All Directors are entitled to have a minimum of one (1) item listed on the
agenda for each meeting of the HCEDC. Based on the length of the agenda,
additional items per Director will be allowed at the discretion of the President.
To have an item placed on the HCEDC’s agenda at the next regularly
scheduled meeting, an agenda request must be submitted to the President by
5:00 p.m. no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled meeting. If a
Director’s request cannot be accommodated at the next scheduled meeting, it
shall be placed on the agenda for the meeting immediately following. The
President shall have exclusive authority to review and prepare the final draft of
the agenda and coordinate with the Board and staff members to ensure all
necessary business is included in the draft agenda. The President shall provide
the final draft of the agenda to the City Secretary.
2 The City Secretary shall post the agenda in accordance with the requirements
of the Open Meetings Act. The City Secretary shall not make changes to the
content of the agenda without the approval of the President.
3. There shall be a standing item on the agenda to allow the President and
Directors to bring forth items they wish to discuss at a future meeting. In
accordance with the Open Meetings Act, any discussion shall be limited to a
proposal to place the item on a future agenda. If the item is to be placed on a
future agenda, the President may direct city staff to place the item on a future
regular meeting agenda.
4 All motions and discussion regarding any action to be reconsidered shall be
submitted to the President to be listed on the agenda at the next regular
meeting. The motion to reconsider requires a majority vote to carry. If the
motion to reconsider passes, the HCEDC shall reconsider and act on the
corresponding item. No question shall be reconsidered twice except by

Haslet Community and Economic Development Corporation
Business Improvement Program
Guidelines and Application
I. INTRODUCTION
The Haslet Community and Economic Development Corporation Business Improvement
Program (the “Grant”) provides technical and financial assistance to property owners or business
tenants seeking to renovate or restore their exterior signage, lighting, commercial building
façades, landscaping elements (xeriscaping), or creating unique shopping and dining venues.
The Grant’s objectives are to improve the physical appearance of businesses and enhance the
City’s commercial corridors. The Grant is funded exclusively by the Haslet Community and
Economic Development Corporation (the “Corporation”).
The Grant offers a fifty percent (50%) matching grant of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00)
for the funding of improvements approved by the Corporation. Improvements may include (but
are not limited to) the restoration of architectural details, enhanced windows and doors, well-
proportioned signage and lighting, implementation of drought resistant landscape designs and
improvements related to enhancing the aesthetic appearances of business properties.
Corporation staff will be available to assist applicants through the conceptual stage at no cost to
the applicants.
II. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
The following criteria must be met for participation in the Grant:
1. Applicants must be commercial property owners or commercial tenants located within the
city limits of Haslet for the last twelve (12) months, with a preference for properties
located in the Highway 156 corridor and Old Town.
2. Preference will be given to independent businesses not required by contractual
arrangement to maintain standardized décor, architecture, signs, or similar features;
3. Tenants must have written approval from property owners to participate in program;
4. Nonconforming signage on property, if applicable, must be permanently removed as part
of the improvement;
5. Property owners must be up to date on all municipal taxes and have no outstanding code
violations prior to participation in the program;
6. Applicants must acknowledge that the overall objective of the Grant is to improve the
exterior, visibility, and presentation of their property, and the Corporation has the
discretion to decline an application while suggesting enhancements that could enable
future acceptance;
7. Applicants must comply with all state and local laws and regulations pertaining to
licensing, permits, building code, and zoning requirements; and

Agenda Item #8.8.5.
8. Applicant’s property has not received a Grant in the immediately preceding sixty (60)
months.
III. DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES
Improvements to be funded by the Grant must be compatible with the character and architecture
of the individual building as well as, to the extent appropriate, with other buildings along the
street on which the participating business is located. Buildings with significant architectural
qualities are strongly encouraged to restore and maintain these features. Improvements for
buildings without such architectural features should still be carefully considered and be seen as
an opportunity to substantially enhance the appearance of the buildings and their streetscapes.
A. Eligible Façade/Signage Improvements
Storefronts should be oriented to the pedestrian and provide visual interest both day and
night. Effort should be made to facilitate access into the store and to create a store
identity unique to Haslet and/or the respective neighborhood. The following
improvements are encouraged:
1. Restoration of details in historically contributing or significant buildings and
removal of elements which cover architectural details;
2. Window display areas which are appropriately scaled and which facilitate night
viewing;
3. Window replacement and window framing visible from the street, to be
appropriately scaled to the building;
4. Additional signage that is attractively integrated into the architecture of the
building, including the window area, awnings or canopies, and entryways;
5. Lighting that is visually appealing and appropriately illuminates signage,
storefront window displays, and recessed areas of a building façade;
6. Awnings or canopies that are both functional and/or visually appealing;
7. Curbing, irrigation, approved trees, landscaping beds (not including planting
material) or other landscaping features attached to the building where appropriate,
not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the project budget;
8. Cleaning, repainting or re-siding of building;
9. New storefront construction, provided that said construction is appropriately
scaled within an existing building;
10. Improvements designed to integrate outdoor and indoor shopping and dining; and
11. Removal of architectural barriers to public accessibility.
Other improvements not explicitly listed above may be made with written approval
if they meet the objectives of the Grant.
B. Prior Improvements

Page 43 of 48
Agenda Item #8.8.5.
Alterations and improvements made prior to receiving a notice to proceed with
improvements (a “Notice”) are not eligible for reimbursement.
C. Alterations
The applicant must agree not to change or alter the improved façade without prior written
approval from the Corporation for three (3) years from the date the rebate check is issued
under the Grant. The applicant agrees to return the grant money received if the
improvement is removed within three (3) years.
IV. PROGRAM ASSISTANCE
A. Financial Assistance
Funding offered by the Grant is a matching grant in which the Grant reimburses the
applicant fifty percent (50%) of total project costs, up to a ten thousand dollar
($10,000.00) maximum match for improvements.
Upon completion of the project the Corporation will review the project. Receipts for
labor and materials should be submitted to the Corporation staff for review. A
reimbursement check will only be issued after the project is determined complete and all
receipts have been reconciled by the Corporation.
B. Technical Assistance
Corporation staff can provide guidance on façade improvements specific to individual
storefronts and limited conceptual design assistance. The applicant will still be expected
to hire their own licensed architect, if necessary, to carry forth this conceptual design to
completion of construction.
Early meetings with Corporation staff and Corporation members are encouraged to help
avoid misunderstanding as to the eligibility of grant proposals.
