What’s Been Happening with the Helotes Economic Development Corporation

Tuesday, June 14, 2011
By Kathy Smith

The Helotes Economic Development Corporation’s (HEDC) monthly meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 15, 2011, at 7 p.m. at City Hall, has been cancelled.  According to the notice, the next regularly-scheduled meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 20, 2011, at the same place and time.

According to their website, half of their last eight meetings have been cancelled.  Their meetings that did actually take place in the last 8 months were on December 15, 2010, and January 19, March 16, and May 18, 2011.  The cancelled meetings had been scheduled for November 17, 2010, and February 16, April 20, and June 15, 2011.

I also saw a notice on their website that they are seeking new Board members.  They are currently accepting applications for appointment to the HEDC Board of Directors, which are, of course, non-paid positions.

The HEDC’s mission is to promote, encourage, and enhance the creation of jobs, the expansion of the local tax base, and our quality of life through projects that assist in the retention and expansion of existing employers and which attract new employers and aid in their development and growth.

For more information on these Board positions, you can contact the City Secretary, Grace Tamez, at 695-5911 or 695-8877.

Just in case you are interested in the HEDC and are wondering what they do at their meetings, their last agenda (for their meeting on May 18, 2011) was:

- Discussion and appropriate action regarding the Old Town Helotes Special District Public Parking Lot and improvements made thereto near the intersection of Old Bandera and Riggs Roads.

- Discussion and appropriate action regarding the creating of new incentive programs to assist existing businesses in the City.

- Discussion and appropriate action regarding a contract with WebQA to host a community business portal for all Helotes businesses, authorizing Board President Ardie Garner to negotiate and execute a WebQA service agreement.

- Hear report from the EDC Specialist, Glenn Goolsby, on:

a.  Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Recreational Trails Grant Application;
b.  HAMBA Business Fair and Mixer;
c.  Current commercial developments within the City; and
d.  2011 Helotes Phonebook.

Monthly meetings of the Helotes Economic Development Corporation Board are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at City Hall (unless they are cancelled, of course).
