A resolution authorizing the Mayor to finalize and execute an agreement between the City of Mesquite, Texas, a Texas Home-Rule municipality situated in Dallas and Kaufman Counties, Texas, and Mesquite Rodeo City Reinvestment Zone Number One, City of Mesquite, Texas, regarding the construction of public improvements within the Iron Horse Village Public Improvement District (PID).
