AUSTIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION M E M O R A N D U M South Central Waterfront Advisory Board Veronica Briseño, Interim Chief Executive Officer Austin Economic Development Corporation March 2, 2021 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: As directed through Resolution 20190808-072 and Resolution 20201001-055, the Austin Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) assumed a lead role coordinating due diligence needed to support the request for a potential Council-approved financing mechanism(s), specifically a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) to achieve the vision plan of the South Central Waterfront (SCW). Since the organization was created by Council in October of 2020, AEDC’s leadership has taken three principal forms: February Update from Austin Economic Development Corporation 1) Administratively establishing the organization for long-term support to SCW and other projects; 2) Completing the technical analysis required to support the TIRZ ordinance; and 3) Engaging with City staff to progress the request(s) and stakeholders to receive continued guidance. On the technical side, AEDC is already contributing resources to work with legal counsel for drafting an Ordinance, Project Plan, and Preliminary Financing Plan that the organization intends to provide the City in support of its evaluation of the request for the City Council’s designation of a TIRZ. As part of this process, AEDC has compiled previous work conducted by ECONorthwest, CMR, and the City that estimate the potential costs and revenues associated with the SCW Vision Plan. In addition, AEDC has retained Winstead PC to advise on legal aspects of the TIRZ formation and ECONorthwest to draft a memo summarizing its prior findings. Further, AEDC has engaged the City’s Housing and Planning Department, Economic Development Department and Financial Services Department staff through weekly meetings and workshops on the project that also support regular briefings with Council offices. Monthly Updates and On-going Coordination To support on-going coordination of communications for transparency, feedback and guidance, AEDC has committed to providing a monthly written update to the South Central Waterfront Advisory Board (SCWAB). If there Is a pressing issue or need, AEDC staff will attend the SCWAB meeting to seek input. David Colligan, AEDC Interim COO, will be the key contact for the SCWAB. Upcoming Discussions and Council Action Understanding that a number of priorities and timelines are shifting due to the City closure and emergency response efforts attributed to weather conditions during the week of February 14, 2021, AEDC intends to join the next SCWAB monthly meeting to present an …
