Staff proposes that the Schertz Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2 board authorize $19,822,547.19 in Crossvine expenditures as eligible for reimbursement at its Oct. 13 meeting.

The item concerns which submitted costs qualify under the development agreement. It does not itself schedule a cash payment. The board’s action is still ahead; the amount and the agreement cap are set out in the city’s item information for the proposal.

For residents, the proposed authorization would bring the developer’s eligible reimbursement total to the agreement’s $66 million cap, while the posted financial report shows far less has actually been disbursed. Eligibility, requests for payment and money already paid are different figures in these records. Reading them together helps residents assess the scale of the proposed authorization without mistaking it for an Oct. 13 payment.

What staff wants authorized

The item memo lists invoices 9 through 12 from the Crossvine developer at $28,995,377.35 in submitted expenditures. Staff recommends authorizing $19,822,547.19 of those expenditures as eligible for reimbursement. The memo identifies $9,172,830.19 of the submitted amount as above the agreement cap. These are staff’s posted figures, not a board decision. The invoice summary separately identifies the over-cap portion with invoice 12; its retained text does not establish readable costs for each invoice component.

MeasurePosted amount
Invoices 9–12 submitted$28,995,377.35
Additional expenses staff recommends authorizing$19,822,547.19
Amount memo identifies as over the agreement cap$9,172,830.19
Agreement cap$66,000,000.00

Figures are transcribed from the item memo and invoice summary. They describe a proposal, not an Oct. 13 approval; the posted figures are not reconciled here.

The Aug. 31 financial report lists $46,177,452.82 in eligible expenses previously authorized and $8,225,000 in developer disbursements. The item memo instead uses $46,177,452.81 as its prior-approval figure. That one-cent difference is in the posted documents. It does not change the stated size of the proposed authorization, but the city’s next financial record can clarify which prior total it uses.

What the financial review shows

The board is also scheduled to receive a financial overview. The posted report lists $9,982,625.91 in tax collected, $8,225,000 in developer disbursements, a $1,616,717.98 balance, and $37,952,452.82 in outstanding developer disbursement requests. The report labels the balance as of Sept. 30, although the attachment is titled an Aug. 31 financial report. Outstanding requests are presented as requests in that report; they should not be read as payments made or as part of a new Oct. 13 authorization.

Amounts in the financial report attached to the Oct. 13 agenda
Reported measureAmount
Total tax collected$9,982,625.91
Developer disbursements$8,225,000.00
Reported balance$1,616,717.98
Outstanding developer disbursement requests$37,952,452.82
Eligible expenses previously authorized$46,177,452.82

The attachment is titled an Aug. 31 report and also labels the stated balance as of Sept. 30. These figures are separate accounting measures, not parts of one sum.

Other business and how to attend

The posted agenda also calls for approval of the April 14, 2026 draft board minutes and an overview of Crossvine development. The draft minutes concern the earlier meeting and are before the board for approval on Oct. 13. The development entry is an overview; the retained agenda does not describe a separate proposed development vote. Residents following the project can use the update to hear what staff and the developer present, then check the later meeting record for any direction or action.

The Schertz Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2 board is scheduled to meet Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, at 4 p.m. in the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. The posted agenda places a hearing of residents before the numbered business items. It directs residents who wish to speak to sign the register and sets a five-minute limit. Those are the posted participation instructions for the scheduled meeting.

The next verification point is the board’s Oct. 13 action on reimbursement eligibility and any details provided during the Crossvine overview. Readers can inspect the posted meeting packet for the full agenda and supporting material, then compare it with the later public meeting record to learn what the board actually did.
