Additional Backup Information:
In response to a request from the State of Texas, Council authorized negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) for development of Phase One of the 2016 Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan in 2017. In 2017 and 2020, Council approved ordinances waiving fees related to Phase One of the development in a combined amount not to exceed $12,000,000.
TFC has requested an amendment to the interlocal agreement to include the development of Phase Two of the 2016 Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan and to waive additional temporary use of right-of-way permit (TURP) fees related to Phase Two. This item authorizes the negotiation and execution of the requested amendment and waives the additional TURP fees using the Tier 1 fee structure, in an amount not to exceed $12,000,000. Pursuant to the interlocal agreement, the amount of any fees waived will be added as a credit to the City on the ledger maintained between TFC (and formerly, the General Services Commission) and the City.
This ordinance does not waive any fees to be assessed that will cover the costs of providing City services. All cost-of-service fees will be collected.
If approved, the total amount of fees waived for Phases One and Two of the project will not exceed $24,000,000.
