Anthony Richardson opened the public hearing at 6:20 p.m.
Joey Grisham introduced Dana Thornhill, Finance Director, to discuss the City of Anna
investment policy. The CDC and EDC investment funds are in their own account in the City's
local depository, and since they are separate bank accounts, it doesn't allow the opportunity
to pool funds with the city to invest. Ms. Thornhill stated the CDC funds are too small to
invest on their own as interest rates are too low to gain significant revenue. Closing CDC
and EDC accounts and combining funds with the City of Anna's funds would allow for greater
interest revenue. The general ledger would provide the exact amount of funding for the CDC
and EDC.
Joey Grisham provided a presentation about the CDC and EDC Budgets, and proposed a
$1,311,140 FY 2021 CDC Budget. Staff is proposing increasing the amount for grants to
$100,000. The line item for the Greater Anna Chamber of Commerce contract is the same
as last year at $42,000. The contract will be brought before the Board in September so the
funding amount may change. Staff is working with the Neighborhood Services Director and
Greater Anna Chamber of Commerce President related to community events. The contract
services line item also includes the current marketing plan and tagline development project
and a retail/restaurant/entertainment attraction plan. Fund balance is projected to be near
100% of the current year budget. Joey stated that the CDC is in a strong position for future
projects. As the downtown plan takes shape and City Hall is completed, several
Officers: Staff:
Anthony Richardson, President Joey Grisham, Economic Development Director

Rocio Gonzalez, Secretary
opportunities are expected to come to fruition. Anthony Richardson asked about the
marketing line item in the CDC Budget and Joey Grisham explained that unspent funds
budgeted for marketing may be rolled over to the next fiscal year and that state law allows
the Corporations to spend ten percent of their budget on marketing and promotion
expenses.
Doris Pierce asked Joey Grisham to explain the Chief Partners payment. Joey Grisham
explained there is a previous agreement with the developer of Wal-Mart and surrounding
property to rebate 90% of the sales tax revenue back to the developer for costs incurred for
infrastructure investments. A second phase includes a 70% rebate for the property moving
north of Wal-Mart up to the Freestanding ER. The term is twenty years for both agreements
or until the max rebate amount is reached, whichever comes first.
Stan Carver asked about the Hurricane Creek Country Club Membership. Joey Grisham
explained the Club does not charge the CDC for its membership, only for meals or other
charges incurred.
Doris Pierce asked if travel and training expenses were not used this year, what would
happen to those funds. Joey Grisham explained the unspent funds could be moved to fund
balance or be used for another expense.
Anthony Richardson closed the public hearing at 7 pm.
Anthony Richardson made a motion to approve a resolution on behalf of the CDC Board
approving the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget and authorizing publication of the adopted
budget. Bruce Norwood seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion passed.

(EDC)

the Contract Services line item: architectural and signage contracts for the Business Park,
legal fees, audit expenses, and printer and janitorial services at the Inc -Cube, etc. He
reminded the Board that the EDC does not currently receive sales tax collections and that
some of the funding for the FY 2021 budget is coming from the Fund Balance. The projected
Fund Balance for FY 2021 is $343,203.
Bruce Norwood made a motion on behalf of the EDC to approve a resolution approving the
Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget. Stan Carver seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion
passed.
14. Director's Report

The CDC started working with GIS Planning/Zoom Prospector two years ago to
provide a platform for online real estate listings and data. Since that time, newer
companies like GIS WebTech have emerged with the latest technology and
offerings. Taylor and I met GIS Web Tech at the Texas Economic Development
Council Annual Conference and did a demo with them a few months back. We
both agreed that their services would be an enhancement over what we currently
use as they utilize ESRI data and the latest workforce numbers. As you will see in
their proposal, they use the highest quality data and colorful infographics. Multiple
EDCs across the U.S. including Texas are clients.

This is an area within the Administrative area where real estate professionals (like brokers or property
owners) or other individuals may add an available property, delete a property that has been leased or

view or delete the property. As provided, Recruit will also check for the ID of the broker before deleting
information. A login and a password will also be required in order to add or delete a property. A user-

Key Takeaway: To compete and win, EDOs must provide an online GlS app with a simple, intuitive and
efficient user experience. If businesses orsite selectors become frustrated with a poorly designed app or
cannot find critical data quickly and easily, they move on. The EDO risks elimination at this early stage,
before it is even aware that it is under consideration. For this reason, bad user experience is "The Silent
Killer. "

Consider/Discuss/Act on a resolution approving an Annual Agreement with the
Greater Anna Chamber of Commerce for Fiscal Year 2021.
SUMMARY:
As you are aware, the CDC has had a longstanding partnership with the Greater Anna Chamber
of Commerce for many years. In the past, the CDC has provided $42,000 in funding for several
events including the 4th of July Fireworks, Harvest Fest, Christmas Parade, Golf Tournament,
and Annual Banquet. For the past few years, the City, CDC, and Chamber have discussed
updating the agreement, especially given that COVID has altered events for the foreseeable
future. The proposed FY 2021 agreement is structured as more of a professional services
agreement rather than just sponsorships for events. The Chamber will undertake business
retention visits with existing businesses and coordinate the Anna Day in Austin next year, among
other things. The CDC will provide $30,000, payable in four quarterly payments. This also
includes an annual membership with the Chamber, sponsoring the Annual Golf Tournament,
and being a $2,000 sponsor at the Annual Chamber Banquet. Both the Chairman and President
of the Chamber like the structure of the agreement and believe it better for both parties.

Economic Development Incentives Policy
The City of Anna, in partnership with the Community Development Corporation (CDC) and the
Economic Development Corporation (EDC), is committed to the promotion and retention of high
quality development that increases economic diversity and sustainability, creates jobs, and
provides value to the community. The City of Anna considers incentives based on the merit of
each project and in accordance with the criteria outlined in this document, the City of Anna
Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the City of Anna Strategic Plan. All recipients that
are awarded incentives must meet the criteria and performance standards outlined below and
enter into a performance agreement with the City, Community Development Corporation (CDC),
and/or Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Nothing in this policy shall imply or suggest
that the City of Anna, CDC or EDC are under any obligation to provide an incentive to any
applicant. All applications are considered on a case -by -case basis.
City of Anna Strategic Plan Goal 1: Growing Anna Economy
Objectives:
1. Maintain and enhance an effective economic development organization that markets Anna,
finds prospects, and closes the deal
2. Expand the commercial tax base
3. Provide more jobs for neighbors
4. Develop parcels along U.S. 75 with viable businesses
5. Have a built -out Business Park
6. Have expanded medical and healthcare services, including Clinic and Outpatient Surgical
Center(s)
7. Expand retail, restaurant and entertainment businesses
Anna Economic Development Vision
Anna has created a balanced and sustainable tax base that invites high quality jobs, facilitates
excellent quality of life with well -maintained and first-rate infrastructure, and offers a wide range
of housing and public facilities that build community identity and pride and engage neighbors in
meaningful ways.
City of Anna Economic Development Incentive Policy
Economic Development Corporation (EDC) & Community Development Corporation (CDC)
The City of Anna has both a Type A and Type B Economic and Community Development
Corporation as set up by the Texas Development Corporation Act of 1979. The Type A sales tax
is primarily intended for manufacturing and industrial development. EDCs may use Type A
revenue to fund land, buildings, equipment, facilities expenditures, targeted infrastructure and
improvements for projects. The Type B sales tax may be used for any project eligible under Type
A rules and several other project types, including quality of life improvements. Type B corporations
may pay for land, buildings, equipment, facilities, targeted infrastructure and improvements. Type
B EDCs created by cities with a population of 20,000 or less and those classified as landlocked
communities may use sales tax proceeds to fund projects that promote new or expanded business
development that do not create or retain primary jobs.
Project Criteria
Eligible projects must provide a return on investment (ROI) and benefit for public funds provided.
ROI may be determined through an analysis of:
• Total capital investment and resulting taxable value generates an annual increase of
property tax revenue
• The number and type of jobs to be created
• Estimated ability to generate direct and/or indirect sales tax revenue
• Estimated ability to generate future overnight stays that result in future direct hotel
occupancy fund revenue and indirect revenue associated with visitors
Recommendations for incentives are based on the evaluation of the following:
• Fiscal Impact
o What is the estimated total value of capital investment for buildings, other real
property improvements and furniture, fixtures, and equipment?
o What is the total projected annual operating budget of the facility?
o What is the value of real and business personal property that will be added to the
tax rolls?
o How much direct sales tax will be generated?
o How much infrastructure construction be required?
o What is the estimated return on public investment?
• Employment Impact
o How many permanent jobs will be brought to Anna?
o How many jobs will be retained?
o What types of jobs will be created?
o What will the total annual payroll be?
o What is the average annual salary of jobs created and/or retained?
• Community Impact
o How compatible is the project with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Economic
Development Strategic Plan goals?
o How does the project support quality of life benefits such as preservation of open
space and development enhancements?
o What effect would the project have on the local housing market?
o What environmental impact, if any, will be created by the project?
o What effect would the project have on other taxing entities?

City of Anna Economic Development Incentive Policy
Targeted Priorities
The City of Anna may consider providing incentives for projects that further the City's strategic
plans.
• Job Creation — The City of Anna may consider an incentive for the creation and
maintenance of jobs within the City by offering a grant payment for companies that create
or relocate a minimum of 25 full-time jobs. The company must maintain the number of jobs
created and/or relocated for at least a 5-year period to receive the total grant payment.
Each job eligible for grant payment must pay at least 100% of the average annual wage
for Collin County, as determined by the United States Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The maximum grant amount cannot exceed 50% of the net new ad valorem and
business personal property taxes paid annually to the City of Anna as a result of the
project.

surrounding the city's downtown that advance the goals of the Downtown Master Plan.
Incentives may include grants or reimbursement for improvements to new or existing
buildings, pedestrian corridors, fagades, murals or public art, iconic signage and/or
lighting.
• Niche / Specialty Retail, Entertainment, Restaurant — The City may consider providing
incentives to "destination" retailers or restaurants that have the capability to attract
customers from outside the area, serve as a catalyst for other development in the area,
and/or provide new and different shopping, dining, or entertainment experiences.
• Office — The City may consider providing incentives for corporate headquarters and/or
regional offices as well as multi -tenant offices for professional services (accountants,
engineers, architects, medical, information technology, lawyers, advertising and media,
management consulting, financial, insurance, wealth management, actuary, etc.)
• Distribution and Logistics — The City may consider providing incentives to support the
supply chain of existing primary employers and better serve current and future neighbors.
• Advanced and Light Manufacturing — The City may consider providing incentives for
corporate headquarters and/or regional service locations.
• Medical / Healthcare — The City may consider providing incentives to provide additional
medical and healthcare related businesses to support the existing and better serve current
and future neighbors.
• Data Centers — The City may consider providing incentives for projects including data
centers to support current and future businesses.
List of Available Incentives
The following may be offered by the City of Anna, CDC, and/or EDC for economic development
projects that meet eligibility criteria. Not all tools are available for each project and any incentive
is at the discretion of the Anna City Council and/or CDC and EDC Board. Investment from the
City of Anna does not preclude other state, county or local incentives.
• Chapter 380 Agreements — Authorized under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government
Code, this agreement between the taxpayer and taxing entity offers a variety of fee -based
or tax -based incentives, including grants, loans, or rebates to promote local economic
development and stimulate business and commercial activity.
