Title
Conduct a public hearing to consider testimony regarding the proposed assessments to be levied against assessable property within the Heartland Town Center Public Improvement District, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code. The property is approximately 121.282 acres of vacant land situated in the Martha Music Survey, Abstract Number 312, in Kaufman County, Texas, and is generally located south of Interstate Highway 20, east of FM 741 and north of Heartland Parkway, within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Mesquite.
(Public hearing continued from August 20, 2018, City Council meeting.)
Body
On July 16, 2018, the City Council passed Resolution No. 41-2018 to accept a preliminary Service and Assessment Plan (SAP) for authorized improvements within the Heartland Town Center Public Improvement District (PID).
A public hearing is required by State law to receive any written or oral objections to the proposed assessments identified in the SAP. Notice of public hearing was published in both the Forney Messenger and Daily Commercial Record on Thursday, August 2, 2018, and notice was sent to property owners within the PID via certified mail on August 1, 2018.
The public hearing was opened at the August 20, 2018, City Council meeting, and no persons presented written or oral objections to the proposed assessments. This public hearing was continued to the September 4, 2018, City Council meeting.
Earlier in the day on September 4, 2018, the negotiated PID bond sale will take place and the SAP will be updated by the City's PID Administrator to reflect actual bond maturities, principal and interest rates, and will be distributed to the City Council prior to the beginning of the Council meeting.
After the public hearing is closed, the City Council must hear and pass on any objection to any proposed assessment and may amend a proposed assessment on any parcel within the PID.
