The Houston City Council is considering an ordinance to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget for the East Downtown Redevelopment Authority, which manages Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Number Fifteen. The total operating budget proposed is $20,368,763. This amount includes $18,777,202 for project costs, $1,591,561 for required fund transfers, and a $313,726 payment for municipal services. Additionally, the council will review the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the zone, which totals $46,080,000. The CIP funds are allocated for infrastructure projects, including roadway reconstruction, pedestrian and mobility improvements, utility upgrades, and the development of greenspaces. The ordinance requires that any budget amendment of $400,000 or more must receive City Council approval.
