Item 14 Passed 8-2unofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This sets up a partnership with Travis County to create Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 21, covering roughly 2,645 acres in the area known as "Dog's Head" — bounded by the Colorado River, US 183, and SH 130. A TIRZ funnels future property tax growth from the zone back into improvements within it, so this item shapes how development dollars flow in that corner of the city. According to the item, it has no fiscal impact.
