Subsequent directors shall be nominated by the 40-2 board to places on the board for appointment by the Commissioners 40-3 Court of the county, from names submitted by the owners of land 40-4 within the district. If the commissioners court is not satisfied 40-5 with one or more of the recommendations submitted by the board, the 40-6 board, on the request of the commissioners court, shall submit to 40-7 the commissioners court additional recommendations. 40-8 (d) Of the initial directors, the directors appointed to 40-9 Places 1, 2, 3, and 4 will resign on or before 30 days subsequent 40-10 to the completion of the purchase program in the district, and the 40-11 number of directors constituting the board shall increase from 40-12 seven to eleven. 40-13 (e) To qualify to serve as a director a person must be at 40-14 least 18 years old and one or more of the following: (i) a 40-15 resident of the district; (ii) an owner of property in the 40-16 district; (iii) an agent, employee, lessee, or tenant of an owner 40-17 of property in the district. The place of a director who at any 40-18 time fails to meet the requirements for service as a director set 40-19 forth in this subsection shall be considered vacant and such 40-20 director shall be replaced by the board within 60 days of the board 40-21 becoming aware of such failure, except for the initial board of 40-22 directors which shall remain intact until such time as the purchase 40-23 program in the district has been completed. 40-24 (e) A vacancy in the office of director shall be filled by 40-25 appointment of the remaining members of the board, provided that 40-26 there are at least three members of the board remaining, and if 40-27 less than three members remain on the board shall be filled by 41-1 appointment of the Commissioners Court of the county. 41-2 (f) The commissioners court of the county may remove a 41-3 director for misconduct or failure to carry out his duties upon 41-4 petition by a majority of the remaining directors. 41-5 (g) As soon as practicable after a director is appointed, he 41-6 shall execute a bond for $10,000 payable to the district and 41-7 conditioned on the faithful performance of his duties. All bonds 41-8 of the directors shall be approved by the board, and each director 41-9 shall take the oath of office prescribed by the constitution for 41-10 public officers. The bond and oath shall be filed with the 41-11 district and retained in its records. 41-12 (h) After the directors have been appointed and have 41-13 qualified by executing a bond and taking the proper oath, they 41-14 shall organize by electing a president, a vice-president, a 41-15 secretary, and any other officers as in the judgment of the board 41-16 are considered necessary. 41-17 (i) Four directors shall constitute a quorum for the 41-18 consideration of matters pertaining to the purposes of the 41-19 district, and a concurrence of four directors shall be required for 41-20 any official action of the district. 41-21 (j) The board is governed by Chapter 375, Local Government 41-22 Code, to the extent that such chapter does not conflict with this 41-23 Act, and specifically excluding Section 375.169 of such Chapter. A 41-24 person who qualifies to serve on the board is qualified to serve as 41-25 a director and participate in all votes pertaining to the business 41-26 of the district regardless of any other statutory provision to the 41-27 contrary. A director who has a beneficial interest in a business 42-1 entity that will receive a pecuniary benefit from an action of the 42-2 board may participate in discussion and vote on that action if a 42-3 majority of the board has a similar interest in the same action or 42-4 if all other similar business entities in the district will receive 42-5 a similar pecuniary benefit. An employee of a public entity may 42-6 serve on the board, but the public employee may not participate in 42-7 the discussion of or vote on any matter regarding contracts with 42-8 the public entity of which the director is an employee. 42-9 (k) Directors may be compensated in the manner provided by 42-10 Section 49.060, Water Code. 42-11 SECTION 6.

POWERS. (a) In addition to the specific 43-8 additional rights, powers, privileges, authority, and functions set 43-9 forth herein, the district has all of the rights, powers, 43-10 privileges, authority, and functions conferred by the general laws 43-11 of this state applicable to districts created under Chapter 375, 43-12 Local Government Code, which are necessary and convenient to 43-13 accomplish the purposes set forth in Section 6 of this Act. 43-14 (b) If any provision of any referenced law is in conflict 43-15 with or is inconsistent with this Act, this Act prevails. All laws 43-16 or provisions of laws referenced in this Act, and subsequent 43-17 amendments of those laws, are adopted and incorporated into this 43-18 Act for all purposes and may be used by the district independently 43-19 of each other. 43-20 SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC POWERS AND DUTIES. (a) In 43-21 addition to the rights, powers, privileges, authority, and 43-22 functions set forth in Section 6 of this Act, the district has and 43-23 the board may undertake the additional rights, powers, privileges, 43-24 authority, and functions set forth in this section. 43-25 (b) (1) Except as described in this Subsection (b), the 43-26 board may exercise the power granted by Chapter 211, Local 43-27 Government Code, to the governing body of a general law 44-1 municipality to restrict the use or uses of property in the 44-2 district. In exercising their powers, the board shall follow the 44-3 procedures in Chapter 211, Local Government Code, applicable to a 44-4 general law municipality, including the provisions applicable to 44-5 the adoption of a comprehensive plan and the appointment of a 44-6 zoning commission and a board of adjustment. 44-7 (2) No restrictions on the use of property within the 44-8 district will be effective, until 30 days after the governing body 44-9 of the city certifies that each owner of land which the board 44-10 determines is then used for a nonconforming use has received an 44-11 offer for purchase of the affected estate of the land pursuant to 44-12 Subsection (c) of this section from the board. 44-13 (3) If the board is ultimately dissolved by the city, 44-14 or otherwise under Section 17 hereof, then such restrictions shall 44-15 be treated as if they had been adopted by the governing body of the 44-16 city. 44-17 (4) After initial adoption of zoning restrictions and 44-18 a comprehensive plan by the board, no additional changes to the 44-19 plan or other restrictions of uses of property within the district 44-20 shall be imposed without the consent of the governing body of the 44-21 city. 44-22 (c) (1) After adoption of zoning restrictions and a 44-23 comprehensive plan by the board, the district will acquire any real 44-24 property, including improvements thereon, which are used for 44-25 purposes that are nonconforming to the uses permitted by the 44-26 district's zoning regulations or comprehensive plan, and may 44-27 acquire any personal property which is currently being used or 45-1 which may in the future be used for purposes that are nonconforming 45-2 to the uses permitted by the district's zoning regulations and 45-3 comprehensive plan. The district may hold, improve, clear, or 45-4 otherwise prepare the property so acquired for redevelopment or 45-5 development, mortgage or otherwise encumber or dispose of or sell 45-6 the property, insure or provide for the insurance of the property, 45-7 and enter into any other contracts or agreements with respect to 45-8 such property. To the extent the district has funds available for 45-9 such purpose, the district shall acquire nonconforming residential 45-10 property and, after acquisition of such nonconforming residential 45-11 property, may acquire at the owners request nonconforming 45-12 nonresidential property or the property held for future conforming 45-13 or nonconforming uses. The district may use the proceeds of its 45-14 bonds to carry out the purposes of this Act. 45-15 (2) Property purchased pursuant to this Subsection (c) 45-16 shall be purchased by application of a formula or formulas to be 45-17 established by the board prior to confirmation of the district's 45-18 creation, which formula or formulas must be on file in the City 45-19 Hall of the city, during a period commencing 30 days prior to the 45-20 confirmation of the district's creation, and which formula or 45-21 formulas shall be confirmed as part of the confirmation of the 45-22 district's creation. To establish the purchase price for property 45-23 within the district, the formula or formulas adopted by the board 45-24 may include such elements as the board determines, including the 45-25 type and estate of land and current use of the property, the 45-26 replacement cost of houses, mobile homes, or businesses, the 45-27 replacement costs of barns, carports, sheds, pump houses, or other 46-1 outbuildings, an allowance for the replacement of pools, spas, 46-2 decks, patios, ornamental fencing, specimen trees, or other 46-3 amenities, moving costs, including moving costs for mobile homes, 46-4 utility connection fees, and disruption or relocation costs for 46-5 residents or businesses. 46-6 (3) In addition to the purchase price for property, 46-7 the district may pay the relocation costs for single family 46-8 tenants, including tenants with mobile homes, in connection with 46-9 the purchase of rental property. The formula for relocation cost 46-10 payments to tenants must also be confirmed as part of the 46-11 confirmation of the district's creation, and may include moving 46-12 payments, including the cost of moving mobile homes, utility 46-13 connection fees, security deposits and rental deposits, and 46-14 disruption/relocation fees. 46-15 (4) In addition to the purchase price for property, 46-16 the district may pay the relocation costs for businesses, including 46-17 moving payments, signage and other amenity replacement costs, 46-18 utility connections fees, security deposits and rental deposits, 46-19 and disruption/relocation fees. 46-20 (5) The purchase prices paid for property within the 46-21 district may not be considered by the Chambers County Appraisal 46-22 District in establishing values for property for ad valorem tax 46-23 purposes, and may not be used by the Comptroller of Public Accounts 46-24 for establishing property values under Subchapter M, Chapter 403, 46-25 Property Code. 46-26 (d) (1) When the board considers it necessary to accomplish 46-27 any of its purposes, including the removal of nonconforming uses 47-1 under a comprehensive zoning plan, the district may exercise the 47-2 right of eminent domain to acquire public or private property 47-3 located inside the district. 47-4 (2) The district may acquire or condemn property in 47-5 its entirety, or may acquire or condemn less than the entire estate 47-6 of property. If property is not currently used for a nonconforming 47-7 use, the board may elect to acquire the right of an owner to use 47-8 property for a nonconforming use. Any landowner whose property is 47-9 conveyed to the district, whether through sale or the exercise of 47-10 the power of eminent domain, shall have the right but not the duty 47-11 to save and except from such conveyance any private roads which 47-12 provide the landowner access to portions of the landowner's 47-13 property which are not conveyed to the district. 47-14 (3) An exercise of the power of eminent domain granted 47-15 by this Section is governed by Chapter 21 of the Texas Property 47-16 Code, except that the district shall not be required to give bond 47-17 for appeal or bond for costs under Sections 21.021(a)(2) and (3) of 47-18 the Texas Property Code in any condemnation suit or other suit to 47-19 which it is a party and shall not be required to deposit more than 47-20 the amount of any award in any suit. 47-21 (4) In the event that the amount of damages due to the 47-22 landowner under Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code is not 47-23 sufficient to allow a landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable 47-24 replacement dwelling or structure, then under Section 21.046 of the 47-25 Texas Property Code, the district shall pay to the landowner an 47-26 additional amount which, when added to the amount of damages under 47-27 Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code, will be sufficient to 48-1 allow the landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable replacement 48-2 dwelling or structure. 48-3 (e) (1) The district may adopt regulations governing the 48-4 businesses, whether commercial or industrial, within the boundaries 48-5 of the district and rules to enforce such regulations to the extent 48-6 that the city could otherwise adopt such regulations and rules, but 48-7 any regulations and rules adopted by the district, including 48-8 restrictions or regulations governing zoning, will be uniform in 48-9 application within the boundaries of the district and will 48-10 encourage the use of land within the district for industrial and 48-11 compatible purposes. No regulations within the district, including 48-12 zoning regulations, will affect agricultural uses of property 48-13 within the district. 48-14 (2) The district may adopt regulations that regulate 48-15 the health, safety and general welfare of residents and property 48-16 owners within the district, including land use and zoning 48-17 regulations. If the district adopts regulations and those 48-18 regulations are approved by the governing body of the city by 48-19 ordinance, then the city may not thereafter adopt an ordinance 48-20 regulating the matters regulated by the district. In adopting 48-21 this section, it is the intention of the legislature that only one 48-22 entity be responsible for regulating matters of the district, and 48-23 after regulations are approved by the city, further oversight by 48-24 the city of the matters regulated by the district is duplicative of 48-25 the district's regulatory authority and an unnecessary burden on 48-26 the residents and property owners in the district. 48-27 (f) If the district, in exercising a power conferred by this 49-1 Act, requires a relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, 49-2 rerouting, or changing the grade of or altering the construction of 49-3 any street, alley, highway, overpass, underpass, road, railroad 49-4 track, bridge, facility or property, electric line, conduit, 49-5 facility or property, telephone or telegraph line, conduit, 49-6 facility or property, gas transmission or distribution pipe, 49-7 pipeline, main, facility or property, water, sanitary sewer or 49-8 storm sewer pipe, pipeline, main, facility or property, cable 49-9 television line, cable, conduit, facility or property, or other 49-10 pipeline or facility or property relating to the pipeline, that 49-11 relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, rerouting, changing of 49-12 grade, or altering of construction must be accomplished at the sole 49-13 cost and expense of the district, and damages that are suffered by 49-14 owners of the property or facilities shall be borne by the 49-15 district. 49-16 (g) The district shall have no right to permanently close 49-17 any existing public roads or to otherwise impede public access to 49-18 existing public roads, except in connection with temporary closures 49-19 for repair of district facilities. 49-20 (h) Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing in this 49-21 Act shall authorize the district to exercise any regulatory 49-22 authority, including zoning authority, outside of the boundaries of 49-23 the district, and under no circumstances or for any purpose shall 49-24 any area outside of the boundaries of the district be deemed or 49-25 designated as extraterritorial to the district. 49-26 SECTION 9. TORT CLAIMS. The district is a unit of 49-27 government for purposes of Chapter 101, Civil Practice and Remedies 50-1 Code. The operations of the district are essential governmental 50-2 functions for all purposes and not proprietary functions. 50-3 SECTION 10. EXCLUDING TERRITORY. (a) At any time, the 50-4 board may on its own motion call a hearing on the question of the 50-5 exclusion of land from the district as provided in Chapters 49 and 50-6 54 of the Water Code, if the exclusions are practicable, just, or 50-7 desirable. 50-8 (b) The board must call a hearing on the exclusion of land 50-9 or other property from the district on the written petition of any 50-10 landowner or property owner in the district filed with the 50-11 secretary of the board before the issuance of bonds has been 50-12 authorized. 50-13 SECTION 11. AD VALOREM TAXES. The district may: 50-14 (a) levy ad valorem taxes to pay the costs of acquiring 50-15 property in accordance with this Act and to pay principal, 50-16 interest, and the redemption price on bonds, notes, or other 50-17 obligations of the district issued for a district corporate 50-18 purpose; and 50-19 (b) levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax on taxable 50-20 property in the district for maintenance, operation, and upkeep of 50-21 the district and the property acquired by the district and the 50-22 provision of services to industrial and commercial businesses and 50-23 property owners. 50-24 Chapter 375, Local Government Code, and the Tax Code shall 50-25 govern the powers and procedures of the district to levy and 50-26 collect ad valorem taxes and penalties, interest, and collection 50-27 charges thereon and the remedies of taxpayers. 51-1 The board may not levy or collect assessments. 51-2 SECTION 12. BONDS, NOTES, AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. (a) The 51-3 district may issue its bonds or other obligations secured by 51-4 revenues (whether from provision of services or by contract with 51-5 public or private entities), by the levy of ad valorem taxes (which 51-6 shall be unlimited in rate or amount), grants, gifts, contracts, 51-7 leases, or any combination thereof.

The mayor may require an item to be placed on 59-17 the Board agenda. 59-18 (f) The initial directors appointed for positions 1-6 serve 59-19 until June 1, 1999, and the initial directors appointed for 59-20 positions 7-15 serve until June 1, 2001. 59-21 (g) As soon as practicable after a director is appointed, 59-22 the director shall execute a $10,000 bond payable to the district 59-23 and conditioned on the faithful performance of the director's 59-24 duties. Each director's bond must be approved by the board, and 59-25 each director shall take the oath of office prescribed by the 59-26 constitution for public officers. The bond and oath shall be filed 59-27 with the district and retained in its records. 60-1 (h) After directors are appointed and have qualified by 60-2 executing a bond and taking the oath, they shall organize by 60-3 electing a chairman, a vice-chairman, a secretary, and any other 60-4 officers the board considers necessary. 60-5 (i) Each position on the board represents a separate area of 60-6 the district to be known as a director district. As soon as 60-7 possible after the effective date of this Act, the board shall 60-8 establish the boundaries of the director districts over areas in 60-9 the district that in the board's judgment provide a reasonable 60-10 balance in the board representation between acreage, value, 60-11 improvements, and interests of the property owners and residents in 60-12 the district. All land in the district shall be in a director 60-13 district. Director districts may not overlap. Director districts 60-14 may be composed of noncontiguous areas. The board from time to 60-15 time may establish new boundaries for one or more director 60-16 districts if it is necessary to provide a reasonable balance in the 60-17 board representation between acreage, value, improvements, and 60-18 interests of the property owners and residents in the district. 60-19 (j) Each director appointed by the commissioners court of 60-20 the county shall be at least 18 years old and be: 60-21 (1) a resident of the director district which such 60-22 person represents; or 60-23 (2) an owner of property in the director district 60-24 which such person represents; or 60-25 (3) an agent, employee, lessee, or tenant of an owner 60-26 of property in the director district which such person represents. 60-27 Except for the directors appointed in this Act, no person may 61-1 be appointed as a director or continue to serve as a director 61-2 unless they satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection. 61-3 (k) The initial and each succeeding board of directors shall 61-4 recommend to the commissioners court of the county persons to serve 61-5 as successor directors. After reviewing the recommendations, the 61-6 commissioners court shall approve or disapprove the directors 61-7 recommended by the board. If the commissioners court is not 61-8 satisfied with the recommendations submitted by the board, the 61-9 board, on the request of the commissioners court, shall submit to 61-10 the commissioners court additional recommendations. 61-11 (l) The board is governed by Chapter 375, Local Government 61-12 Code, to the extent that chapter does not conflict with this Act. 61-13 A person who qualifies to serve on the board is qualified to serve 61-14 as a director and participate in all votes pertaining to the 61-15 business of the district regardless of any other statutory 61-16 provision to the contrary. A director who has a beneficial 61-17 interest in a business entity that will receive a pecuniary benefit 61-18 from an action of the board may participate in discussion and vote 61-19 on that action if a majority of the board has a similar interest in 61-20 the same action or if all other similar business entities in the 61-21 district will receive a similar pecuniary benefit. An employee of 61-22 a public entity may serve on the board of directors of the 61-23 district, but the public employee may not participate in the 61-24 discussion of or vote on any matter regarding contracts with the 61-25 public entity of which the director is an employee. 61-26 (m) One-half of the directors constitutes a quorum, and a 61-27 concurrence of a majority of a quorum of directors is required for 62-1 any official action of the district. In addition to board 62-2 approval, the written consent of at least two-thirds of the 62-3 directors is required to call an election, to authorize the levy of 62-4 taxes, the approval of the adoption of a buyout plan and buyout 62-5 formula, the approval of the issuance of bonds or other 62-6 obligations, or the approval of the adoption of zoning or other 62-7 regulations. 62-8 (n) Directors may be compensated in the manner provided by 62-9 Section 49.060, Water Code. 62-10 2. Substitute in lieu of Section 8 the following: 62-11 SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC POWERS AND DUTIES. (a) In 62-12 addition to the rights, powers, privileges, authority, and 62-13 functions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Act, the district 62-14 has and the board may undertake the additional rights, powers, 62-15 privileges, authority, and functions set forth in this section. 62-16 (b) The board and the district may exercise the power 62-17 granted by Chapter 211, Local Government Code, to the governing 62-18 body of a general law municipality to zone and restrict the use or 62-19 uses of property in the district by adopting zoning regulations. 62-20 In exercising their powers the board and the district shall follow 62-21 the procedures in Chapter 211, Local Government Code, applicable to 62-22 a general law municipality, including the provisions applicable to 62-23 the adoption of a comprehensive plan and the appointment of a 62-24 zoning commission and a board of adjustment. If the district is 62-25 ultimately dissolved by the city, or otherwise dissolved under 62-26 Section 21 hereof, then the zoning regulations and comprehensive 62-27 plan, until modified by the city, shall survive and be enforced by 63-1 the city as if they had been adopted by the governing body of the 63-2 city. 63-3 (c) After adoption of zoning regulations and a comprehensive 63-4 plan by the board, the district may acquire real property, 63-5 including improvements thereon which are used for purposes that are 63-6 nonconforming to the uses permitted by the district's zoning 63-7 regulations or comprehensive plan, and may acquire any personal 63-8 property which is currently being used or which may in the future 63-9 be used for purposes that are nonconforming to the uses permitted 63-10 by the district's zoning regulations and comprehensive plan. The 63-11 district may hold, improve, clear, or otherwise prepare the 63-12 property so acquired for redevelopment or development, mortgage or 63-13 otherwise encumber or dispose of or sell the property, insure or 63-14 provide for the insurance of the property, and enter into any other 63-15 contracts or agreements with respect to such property. To the 63-16 extent the district has funds available for such purpose, the 63-17 district may acquire nonconforming residential property. If the 63-18 board determines that sufficient funds will be available to the 63-19 district, after acquisition of such noncomforming residential 63-20 property, the district may acquire nonconforming nonresidential 63-21 property or other property held for conforming or nonconforming 63-22 uses. If the board deems it advisable, the district may acquire by 63-23 purchase or eminent domain a property owner's right to use property 63-24 for nonconforming uses without acquiring an ownership interest in 63-25 the property. The district may use the proceeds of its bonds or 63-26 other obligations, or other available funds, to carry out the 63-27 purposes of this Act. 64-1 (d)(1) When the board considers it necessary to accomplish 64-2 any of its purposes, including the removal of nonconforming uses 64-3 under a comprehensive plan, the district may exercise the right of 64-4 eminent domain to acquire public or private property, whether 64-5 located inside or outside the district, or any interest therein, 64-6 except that if the exercise of eminent domain is for the removal of 64-7 nonconforming uses under the district's comprehensive plan, or for 64-8 the right of a property owner to use property for nonconforming 64-9 uses under the district's comprehensive plan, the property must be 64-10 inside the district. 64-11 (2) The district may acquire or condemn the property 64-12 in its entirety, or may acquire or condemn less than the entire 64-13 estate of property. The board may elect to acquire the right of an 64-14 owner to use property for a nonconforming use. 64-15 (3) An exercise of the power of eminent domain granted 64-16 by this section is governed by Chapter 21 of the Texas Property 64-17 Code, except that the district shall not be required to give bond 64-18 for appeal or bond for costs under Section 21.021(a)(2) and (3) of 64-19 the Texas Property Code in any condemnation suit or other suit to 64-20 which it is a party and shall not be required to deposit more than 64-21 the amount of any award in any suit. 64-22 (4) In the event that the amount of compensation due 64-23 to the landowner for a taking of residential nonconforming property 64-24 under Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code is not sufficient 64-25 to allow a landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable replacement 64-26 dwelling or structure, then under Section 21.046 of the Texas 64-27 Property Code, the district may (but is not required to) pay to the 65-1 landowner an additional amount which, when added to the amount of 65-2 damages under Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code, will be 65-3 sufficient to allow the landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable 65-4 replacement dwelling or structure. 65-5 (e) If the district, in exercising a power conferred by this 65-6 Act, requires a relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, 65-7 rerouting, or changing the grade of or altering the construction of 65-8 any street, alley, highway, overpass, underpass, road, railroad 65-9 track, bridge, facility or property, electric line, conduit, 65-10 facility or property, telephone or telegraph line, conduit, 65-11 facility or property, gas transmission or distribution pipe, 65-12 pipeline, main, facility or property, water, sanitary sewer or 65-13 storm sewer pipe, pipeline, main, facility or property, cable 65-14 television line, cable, conduit, facility or property, or other 65-15 pipeline or facility or property relating to the pipeline, that 65-16 relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, rerouting, changing of 65-17 grade, or altering of construction must be accomplished at the 65-18 sole cost and expense of the district, and damages that are 65-19 suffered by owners of the property or facilities shall be borne by 65-20 the district. 65-21 (f) For purposes of this Act, the following definitions 65-22 apply: 65-23 (1) "comprehensive plan" means the comprehensive plan 65-24 approved by the board of directors in accordance with the 65-25 provisions of this Act and Chapter 211, Local Government Code. 65-26 (2) "conforming property" means property which is used 65-27 or proposed to be used in conformity with the district's zoning 66-1 regulations and comprehensive plan. 66-2 3. Substitute in lieu of Section 14 the following: 66-3 SECTION 14. APPROVAL OF THE CITY. (a) The district must 66-4 obtain the prior approval of the governing body of the city for any 66-5 one or more of the following: 66-6 (1) issuance of bonds or other obligations; 66-7 (2) plans and specifications of any project that 66-8 involves the use of the rights-of-way of streets, roads, or 66-9 highways or the use of municipal land; 66-10 (3) valuation procedures for a district property 66-11 acquisition program; 66-12 (4) property acquisition plan; 66-13 (5) property acquisition formula; 66-14 (6) bond proposition and bond elections; 66-15 (7) zoning or other district regulations; or 66-16 (8) the exercise of the powers of eminent domain by 66-17 the district. 66-18 (b) The city shall never be obligated to pay any bonds, 66-19 notes, or other obligations of the district, except as provided in 66-20 subsection (c) of section 21 of this Act. 66-21 4. Add a new sentence in Section 15 at the end of the first 66-22 sentence ending with city as follows: 66-23 The confirmation election will be held during April 1998. 66-24 5. Substitute in lieu of Section 16 the following: 66-25 SECTION 16. CONTRACTS. (a) The city, the county, or any 66-26 other political subdivision of the state, without further 66-27 authorization, may contract with the district to jointly pay the 67-1 cost of a project of the district, jointly pay the cost of property 67-2 acquisition by the district, or aid and assist the district in 67-3 providing the services authorized under this Act. A contract under 67-4 this subsection may: 67-5 (1) be for a period of time on which the parties 67-6 agree; 67-7 (2) include terms on which the parties agree; 67-8 (3) be payable from taxes or any other sources of 67-9 revenue that may be available for such purpose, including tax 67-10 increments from a tax increment reinvestment zone; or 67-11 (4) provide that taxes or other revenue collected at a 67-12 district project or from a person using or purchasing a commodity 67-13 or service at a district project may be paid or rebated to the 67-14 district under the terms of the contract. 67-15 (b) The district may enter into a contract, lease, or 67-16 agreement with or make or accept grants and loans to or from: 67-17 (1) the United States, including federal departments 67-18 and agencies; 67-19 (2) the state or a state agency; 67-20 (3) a county, municipality, or other political 67-21 subdivision of the state; 67-22 (4) a public or private corporation, including a 67-23 nonprofit corporation created by the board under this Act; and 67-24 (5) any other person. 67-25 (c) The initial term of a district lease, contract, or 67-26 agreement shall not exceed a term of forty (40) years. 67-27 (d) The district may perform all acts necessary for the full 68-1 exercise of the powers vested in the district on terms and 68-2 conditions and for the term the board may determine to be 68-3 advisable. 68-4 6. Substitute in lieu of subsection (c) in Section 17 as 68-5 follows: 68-6 (c) With the consent of the board, the governing body of the 68-7 city shall be authorized, by a vote of not less than two-thirds of 68-8 the entire membership, to adopt an ordinance dissolving the 68-9 district. Upon the adoption of such an ordinance the district 68-10 shall be dissolved, and, in accordance with Chapter 128, Acts of 68-11 the 50th Legislature, 1947 (section 43.074, Texas Local Government 68-12 Code), the city shall: 68-13 (1) succeed to the property and assets of the 68-14 district; 68-15 (2) assume all debts, obligations and liabilities of 68-16 the district; and 68-17 (3) enforce any applicable land uses imposed through 68-18 the zoning authority of the district. 68-19 7. Add a new subsection (d) to Section 17 as following: 68-20 (d) If the district does not issue bonds or commence a land 68-21 acquisition program by September 1, 1998, the city council by 68-22 majority vote may thereafter dissolve the district at any time 68-23 before the district issues bonds. 68-24 8. Substitute in lieu of Section 18 the following: 68-25 SECTION 18. POWERS OF THE CITY. Except as provided herein, 68-26 the creation of the district, the exercise of its powers and duties 68-27 within its boundaries, or the issuance of its bonds or the levy of 69-1 any taxes within its boundaries will have no effect on the power or 69-2 authority of the city to exercise its powers and duties within its 69-3 boundaries or extraterritorial jurisdiction, or to issue its bonds 69-4 or levy its taxes within its boundaries, including within the 69-5 portion of the city's boundaries or extraterritorial jurisdiction 69-6 which lies within the district. After zoning regulations, a 69-7 comprehensive plan, or other district regulations have been adopted 69-8 by the district, the city may not adopt regulations or ordinances 69-9 regulating the matters regulated by the district. It is the 69-10 intention of the legislature that only one entity be responsible 69-11 for regulating matters within the district, and after regulations 69-12 are approved by the district, further oversight by the city of the 69-13 matters regulated by the district is duplicative of the district's 69-14 regulatory authority and an unnecessary burden on the residents and 69-15 property owners in the district. 69-16 Counts 69-17 COMMITTEE AMENDMENT NO. 2 69-18 Amend H.B. 3571 as follows: 69-19 On page 12, strike line 9 through line 24. 69-20 On page 13, strike line 1 through 11. 69-21 On page 24, line 6, strike, "Southeast", and insert, "East" 69-22 On page 24, strike, lines 7 through 24. 69-23 On page 25, strike, lines 1 through 11. 69-24 Counts
