| Description | Shall Chapter XI of the Charter of the City of Dallas be amended by adding Section 16 to: (1) prohibit the city of
Dallas (including any special-purpose governmental entity, nonprofit corporation, and any other entity created or
controlled by the city) from providing more than a total of $1,000,000 in financial assistance (including any grant of
tax concessions or relief; any authorization of debt or debt instruments; any expenditure of public funds; and any
exchange, grant, or below-market sale or lease of city-owned land) to any private development project (the primary
purpose of which is to construct or aid in the construction, renovation, repair, alteration, or remodeling of any
hotel, convention center, luxury residential condominium, or retail facility, or the infrastructure of any such
facility), unless the city gives at least 65 days’ public notice (including posting the notice on the city’s website for
the entire 65-day notice period) before approving the financial assistance and obtains voter approval for the
financial assistance at a regular or special election when voter approval is required by a petition that is signed by
at least 500 residents of the city and filed with the city secretary within 60 days after the public notice is posted; (2)
exempt from the financial assistance restrictions any retail development of less than 50,000 square feet that serves
a subsidized residential development; and (3) provide a severability clause? |
