Discuss, conduct a public hearing, and act on RESOLUTION NO. 2026-011: a Resolution approving and authorizing a second amendment to the Residential Tax Abatement Agreement by and between the City of Paris, Texas, and We're Going to Paris, LLC (Westgate Apartments). Mayor Pankaj said that a public hearing was not required by law on this item, and asked Ms. Harris to proceed with the item. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said that in May of 2022 City Council approved a residential tax abatement agreement with We're Going to Paris, LLC relating to the renovation of the property known as the Westgate Apartment Complex. She reported the owner was to have completed the improvement by May 8, 2023; however, due to issues related to financing and other concerns the owner requested an extension. Ms. Harris explained that that on December 11, 2023, city Council agreed to an extension until May 31, 2025, to complete all improvements and construction was to have commenced no later than February 12, 2024. Ms. Harris said the owner was unable to begin the renovation in time to complete the construction by the May 31, 2025, deadline and requested an additional extension for completion until June 15, 2027. Ms. Harris also said the owner had pulled permits on each of the buildings, had begun renovations on several of the buildings and the leasing office and one of the residential buildings were scheduled to be completed in April of 2026. Ms. Harris explained that retention of the abatement was important to the financing of the renovation.
