Mr. BJ Simon, representative for the Economic Development Foundation (EDF) presented the
Board with their fourth quarter report for the period covering July 1st through September 30th,
2018. Mr. Simon gave a broad overview of the EDF's activities and entertained questions from
the Board.
President DonCarlos thanked Mr. Simon for all of his work in the continued growth of the City
and its surrounding areas.
b. Receive the Baytown Municipal Development District's Quarterly Financial and
Investment Reports for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2018.
Finance Director Wade Nickerson presented the Baytown Municipal Development District's
Financial Report for the Quarter ending September 30, 2018, and noted that these are preliminary
numbers for their review.
Mr. Nickerson noted that as it relates to the revenues, the Board came in at 108% or 8% over its
budgeted amount with most of this being related to Harvey expenditures, along with a rather
robust Christmas season, and collections in June that were way above normal. This strong
revenue stream has allowed for a 12% increase for in revenue collection over the last 12 months.
Staff believes that this large increase in revenue collections is an anomaly and anticipates that
next year's revenues will not be as high, but more in line with historical numbers.
Mr. Nickerson noted that as it relates to the expenditures for this fund came in very well and is
ending the year a little under 88% of the budget, and noted that this is basically a project fund, so
there are some projects that have carried over from prior years, and some projects from this year
that will also carry on to next year; therefore line items; such as that of Parks, may seem to have
gone over budget, but they really haven't; these are projects that are carried over so those monies
aren't necessarily reflected in the current budget.
Mr. Nickerson noted that as it relates to the investment report, the Board has an ending balance
of $4.9 million, with a monthly interest rate of 2.12° o and estimated quarterly earnings of
$25,812.60.
4. MANAGER'S REPORT
The next Baytown Municipal Development District meeting is scheduled for Thursday,
January 3, 2019, at 4:30 p.m., in the Council Chamber located at City Ball, 2401 Market
Street, Baytown, Texas, 77520.
Mr. Davis stated that should the Board need to meet for anything related to the Convention
Center/Hotel project, staff will reach out to them to poll for a meeting date; otherwise he stated
the next regular meeting is scheduled for January 3, 2019. He concluded with saying that if there
is not another meeting, he wished all the members Happy Holidays.
