Pursuant to the Texas Tax Increment Financing Act (Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code), reinvestment zones have been created to promote development or redevelopment of an area not likely to otherwise develop. 2. Such zones are dependent for their success, and to pay their existing debt, on captured increments of increased tax values for taxing units, including school districts. 3. It should be made clear that the creation of county education districts to help equalize school funding should not result in a loss of reasonably anticipated revenues for reinvestment zones. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS: SECTION 1. That the City of Corpus Christi supports legislation necessary to ensure that creation of county education districts will not adversely affect reinvestment zones. SECTION 2. That the City Manager and staff, as well as the Mayor and council members, are authorized to communicate to all local legislators and other pertinent officials the City's position expressed in this Resolution, and to take all steps necessary to support the position expressed herein.
