EDC approves minutes and finance report, approves lease to Bexar County Sheriff's Office and conditionally approves WOTA budget

During the Feb. 13 meeting the board approved routine items and several actions taken after executive session.

Consent agenda: The board moved to accept the minutes of Jan. 8, 2026 and the monthly finance report. A board member questioned a $2,000 invoice for professional services that had been paid for marketing; staff clarified the fee was for a presentation to market the city to investors and said they would explore additional public-information options. The motion to approve the minutes and finance report was moved, seconded and approved unanimously.

Executive-session items and open action: The board recessed to executive session and, upon returning, approved a lease (item A5) for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. The chair announced the motion passed.

Budget approval with condition: Separately, a board member moved to approve the WOTA budget on the condition that WOTA reduce both janitorial and security line items by 10%. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously; the city secretary was directed to reflect those expense reductions.

Next steps: Staff will implement the approved lease as directed and record the budget adjustments. The $2,000 professional-services item will be clarified in follow-up reporting to the board.
