TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE (TIRZ) BOARD MEETING - May 13, 2026

The City of Kerrville's Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Board met on May 13, 2026, to discuss several grant programs and capital improvement projects aimed at enhancing the downtown area. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the exterior enhancement grant program, which has allocated $100,000 but is unlikely to be fully utilized this fiscal year, with potential savings to be reallocated in the next fiscal year. The board also considered establishing a new parking lot enhancement grant program with a proposed $50,000 allocation to support parking area improvements such as resurfacing, lighting, and ADA compliance. Additionally, the board approved up to $5,000 for renovations to the public restrooms on Water Street, including fixture replacements and painting, with work planned to be completed before the July 4th holiday. The meeting also covered plans for a cultural arts district project involving a sculpture and wayfinding kiosk, with potential future funding requests for matching grants. The board voted unanimously to approve the restroom renovation funding and discussed procedural steps for the parking lot grant program, aiming to open applications in June 2026. The meeting concluded with announcements regarding staff transitions and upcoming meetings.
