Call to Order KCDC Board President Isaac Saldaña called the Regular Kemah Community Development Corporation Board Meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in City Hall. Board Members present were Kristi Reiser, Matt Wiggins, David Alcorn, Reé Allen, and Jacob Bigger. President Isaac Saldaña declared a quorum. Also in attendance were City Attorney Dick Gregg III, City Administrator Walter Gant, Finance Director Cheryl Hunter, City Secretary Chandra Jobb and Executive Director Ronnie Richards. 2. Public Hearing – Opened 6:04pm 1. 57 Acre Nature Facility Mike Stackable – many parts of the Meritage Agreement are not settled therefore starting the project seems premature. He has heard how KCDC funds could not fund streets and here streets are being paid for; he was told TXDot will pay for new boat ramp; as to item 4, it seems like a questionable need to have a nature trail there. It also begs the question as to who owns the land and what will happen to all the land around the Kemah Trail and what will it do to their property value. Responses to Public Comments by KCDC President Saldana 1. Nature facility – have a drawn master park plan; planned for years. Talking about it since 2008 or 2009. Will build in phases. Meritage plan is to tie walkways to the park, that’s it, not part of Meritage deal or drainage plan. Meritage wants us to do the park. Still negotiating. Only a tie to rails. 2. On Harris Ave project, easy project under economic development because in entertainment district by T Bone Toms, hotels and Clear Winery. 3. Regarding the Kemah Trail under the bridge Golf cart and walking trail to connects Kemah. 4. As far as raising 3rd, 4th and 5th Streets if TxDot is going to come in and do that, great but we wanted to have a backup plan. Closed hearing at 6:11pm Jason moved to move up Item 6, seconded by Ree, passed unanimously. 3. Presentation: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Chapter 380 Agreements by James Brockway 380 agreement is a beneficial tool. Chapter 380 allows city to grant or loan money to promote state and local economic development. See the handout given by James Brockway. Page 1 of 7  MINUTES REGULAR MEETING March 15, 2022 KEMAH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Three 380 agreements are in the area: 1. Pinnacle Park where Cabela’s is located in league city. The purpose was to bring Cabela’s to town. Only thing over there was big league field of dreams. The developer brought Cabela’s and retail and 150 jobs. New sales tax and development of area that had languished that year. In 2016 they came to an agreement. 15 year agreement. 9.346M was the benefit to the developer. The pros was that the land was now being used and taxed. Not fully developed but have memorial Hermann, and Fairfield Marriott and others. The cons are that they paid $825K when Cabela’s got their CO to build. Broke the rule of waiting till operational. They were told build 125K square feet and they have only brought in about 42K so they are far behind, 95% of taxes were front-ended to the developer but city is giving that up. The good news is that they are about to start phase 3. Pros outweigh the cons. 2. League city (96 and Hobbs road) – Kroger said would do 110K sq ft store with massive amount of sales tax to city. Developer created the roadways and landscaping, City did well on this project. Only had to pay $742K over 5-year term. The square footage is about 250K retail. Now new grocery options. Also, lots of retail and restaurant options. City only gave away 40% city and 60% developer and when agreement ends then city gets 100 percent. Kroger development has ended in 2021 and city now gets 100 percent of the sales tax 3. Riverview and Clear Creek (for years known as River Bend) across from La Brisa. Developer owned the land around it. Developer got $14M agreement. Point was to do 297 unit and boutique hotel and 30K ft retail and marina with 30 slips plus an amphitheater and dog trails and other amenities. Huge project. City getting sales, property and hotel taxes to recoup costs paid to developer. They started it a few months ago and it’s a 20-year deal. The pros are that the apartments have sat there for many years and the restaurant around there has been vacant. This should start more development in the area. $6M in actual payments and $8M in incentives over time. City gets first dibs on payments until $6M met and the city incentives are phased in. once you hit that part, then get up to $8M… it’s a large sum of money but city gets first moneys back. There are timelines to complete the phases, the city may terminate the agreement. If in phase 3 and don’t perform, then city can cut them off. There is an incentive to get it done. See the chart of payments to be made and the incentive charts. 4. The final example is one in Ravenwood in Huntsville close to Sam Houston University. The Huntsville shoppers used to go to Conroe and now have many restaurants and shops to stay in Huntsville. Retail generates high sales taxes. Started in 2011. This center has become the hub of the city. The stores were needed badly. If developer does not meet benchmarks including job creation, then they do not get their payment at the end. These are the projects Page 2 of 7  MINUTES REGULAR MEETING March 15, 2022 KEMAH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION See the considerations for the city…. The city must review the charter or local policies that may restrict the projects. Ensure that the project fits the long-term city goals. Ensure city gets great ROI Neighboring city may do it if you don’t act. Have exhibit of benchmarks. Make sure the obligations are spelled out and good system to check if meeting it. Specify that the project will have a look and quality standards – city have right to approve architecture Make sure city gets the money back if the project is not completed. State number of jobs Don’t give away too much up front – tie to taxes that come in…fair for both. But must do the math to see if the project makes sense. Don’t incentivize a developer if they are already coming to town. If there are already sales taxes on the site from a prior project don’t allow those taxes to be part of what the developer receives in reimbursements. Incorporate detailed list of incentives. City staff to administer or outside group? Your choice. Designate the agreement as a revenue sharing agreement which entitles the city to request sales tax information form the comptroller under 321.3022 Insert a provision where annually the developer will provide a rent roll of the tenants and will provide a release from each tenant authorizing the state to release the sales tax records. Create an application for each developer who wants to do a 380 agreement. Sept 1, 2021, all governments must file 380 and 381 agreements with the state. Database for 3800, 381 will be maintained by the state. PERFECT AGREEMENT: No upfront costs, a list of all costs to be reimbursed should be an exhibit to the agreement, a site plan of the future development should be an exhibit to the agreement, payments begin after the first CO is issued and taxes begin to be received, Developer should be obligated to create a minimum number of jobs, where applicable, sharing of taxes should be 50/50 until developer repaid, developer is penalized certain dollar amounts for not meeting goals. 4.

Page 3 of 7  MINUTES REGULAR MEETING March 15, 2022 KEMAH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 6. Invitation To Address the Board 1. Keith Holmes: Anders is getting worse 2. Lloyd Thornton – 57-acre nature facility up to 1.5M spent but he has hard time seeing how it generates revenue. The funds could be spent better elsewhere. The boat ramp is important so any project should not interfere. This speaks to the boat ramp under the bridge. The outlaw challenge comes and need to make it so the big boats can launch. 3. David Whalan – works on boats, there are plans for events centers under bridge but needs a ramp; need access to the bay. Huge draw for Kemah, that leads to spending money in Kemah. 4. Doug Harkrider - Kemah resident since 1996. Spoken on Anders improvement. Said that Type B monies can be spent on road improvements. Opinion from Gregg law firm that can be spent on Anders. He thinks that KCDC should be part of it. 5. Shelia Thorne – one item is minutes from prior years and she then admonished the board president and today is a new law – follow your mandates and rules. Kemah is better than in fighting. Work for the betterment of Kemah. KCDC today is different. Leadership starts from top and trickles down. 7.

Motion to approve by Kristi and second by Ree’. Passed unanimously. 15. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON POTENTIAL INCENTIVES FOR BUSINESSES WITH REGARD TO PAID PARKING. Ree’ asked for it to be on the agenda. Boutiques pay part of sales tax to city. The restaurants are fueled by locals. Some tourist crowds. It is the locals who are coming in on down days. Shopping for boutiques or restaurants is not working out for those shops. Now it’s creating issues for employees who have to pay to park. She wants KCDC to do something to help with it. Maybe pay 50% employee parking and have them pay the other part of the parking to preserve the retail industry. Isaac mentioned that businesses incentivize their employees. QR codes for employees. Matt mentioned selling back parking to businesses. Maybe business pays $100 for employees to get a parking pass. Could be passed on to the next guy the next day. Good idea of selling monthly pass. It is misinformation that there are no other parking spots. May have to walk further but there are other spots. Texas Avenue is wide open 99% of the year. Jacob Bigger talked about problems with manager parking pass and policing passes. Can the validation code be more trackable? Need to put in place policies to get a benefit. Isaac thinks that businesses should incentivize. Isaac pointed out that city charged for parking to use funds to help fund the police department for the city. Kristi feels that the city needs to work Page 5 of 7  MINUTES REGULAR MEETING March 15, 2022 KEMAH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION out kinks. The report shows that 200 people paid for parking in the lot. Motion to table by Ree’ to see what city works out, Kristi seconded, passed unanimously. 16.
