The developer is paid through bonds or cash from the participating entities. To date there is approximately $148,000,000 million of audited and actual improvements approved for reimbursement by the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2 (TIRZ No. 2) to the developers of Shadow Creek Ranch. That amount is for construction only and not the accrued interest in the amount $87,000,000 million of which is yet to be reimbursed. At this time, the Board is being asked for the consideration and approval of cash reimbursement to Shadow Creek Ranch Development Company LTD for $5,480,000 million. She stated per agreement, payment was released in August to Alvin Independent School District for $4,000,000 million. Also in August, Revenues of the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2 (TIRZ No. 2) are sent to Region Bank, the new trustee of the bonds. Region Bank retains the annual debt service payment for the year and sends everything back to the Development Authority for reimbursement. Ms. Bogard gave a brief overview of the balance sheet and income statement provided in the Boards' packet. She stated the next item for consideration is to release the State Texas Education Agency Fund, and made the recommendation to hold back $15,000 thousand for operating cost, and $1,000,000 million for reserve.
