This reassessment is necessary to account for parcels (property accounts) that were added in the approved 2011/2012 assessment roll that were not included when calculating the assessment values. This ordinance does not change the total approved assessment of $52,000 and is recommended for approval by the Point West Public Improvement District Advisory Board.

5. RESOLUTION - DESIGNATION OF TEXAS ENTERPRISE PROJECT: Overview: This resolution replaces the resolution approved on November 15, 2011 which approved the nomination of Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. as a Qualified Business and Enterprise Project for economic development assistance under the Texas Enterprise Zone Act. The Governor's Office of Economic Development and Tourism has requested a revision to the nominating resolution to strike the word "substantially" when describing the local incentives as the local incentives are the "same" as originally submitted in 2006 rather than "substantially the same." All other terms in the November resolution remain the same. The approval of the revised resolution is necessary to allow the State of Texas to continue its review Bell Helicopter's Enterprise Zone Project.
