II. NEW BUSINESS
A. Input and Discussion with City Council on Strategic Priorities
PEDC Board of Directors and City Council discussed the PEDC's ongoing, existing and potential for an
enlarged role in the City's drainage infrastructure. Councilmember Barry requested PEDC consider
allocating 20% annually of its budget towards drainage capital projects.
After discussion, Mayor Cole recommended to not detract from Lower Kirby work for infrastructure
and to look at potential additional projects in the Old Townsite/SH35 corridor areas, along with
potential bond/PER projects that could be done while the master drainage plan is being completed.
There was also interest in future additional joint meetings on this and other strategic priorities.
PEDC Board of Directors and City Council discussed the proposed Lower Kirby mixed use project with
the related indoor sports and hotel conference center. After discussion, Mayor Cole recommended
the PEDC board discuss how they wish to proceed in moving forward with the project, including
potentially holding an election for voter consideration on the indoor sports facility.
No action taken.
