  • 2020 Legislative Agenda
    1 MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR I am Pete Saenz, mayor of the vibrant and historical city of Laredo, Texas. The year 2020 rep- resents the 265th anniversary of the founding of our city by the Crown of Spain as well as the 180th anniversary of the creation of the Republic of the Rio Grande which had Laredo as its capital. Seven independent nations have flown flags over our city throughout our history. Needless to say, we have always been a bold and resilient community. Laredo has a population of approximately 265,000 and is a highly international city bordering the great State of Texas and the Mexican States of Tamaulipas and Nuevo León. Nine out of ten Lar- edoans are bilingual in both English and Spanish, and we are a major world player in international trade. In fact, we are the largest land port in the entire country and the second largest port overall only after the Port of Los Angeles – a sea port. I am very proud to represent a community that is at the crossroads of so many important and press- ing topics that impact our nation’s economy, culture and society. I thank you for taking time to review our city’s perspective on current critical issues such as border and homeland security, public health, comprehensive immigration reform, infrastructure, trade and more. We have a long-standing tradition of creating bilateral connections, bridging two cities, two cul- tures and two nations. And although we are right on the border, we are extremely patriotic. Each year, Laredo hosts the largest and longest celebration of George Washington in the entire country.

  • 2021 2025 City of Laredo
    Adopted Capital improvement plan 2021 2025 City of Laredo Adopted 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program Capital Improvements The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) assists in the planning, acquisition, and financing of capital projects. Capital project funds are designated to account for all activity, revenues, and expenditures, on each capital project. Benefits of the City’s CIP include: Allowing the City to clearly assess its needs. Ensuring proposed projects will best serve the community. Promoting financial stability through long term planning of resources and needs. Educating and promoting collaboration among the Mayor, Council, and City management to ensure that the City’s vision is upheld. Definition The classification of a project as a capital improvement is based on the project’s cost and frequency of funding. A capital improvement is relatively costly and funded infrequently. Capital improvement projects will typically meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Address or enhance the City’s assets. 2. New construction, expansion, renovations, or replacement of existing facilities have an expenditure of at least $25,000 over the life of the project. 3. Major maintenance or rehabilitation of existing facilities which require an expenditure of $10,000 or more have an economic life of at least 10 years. Capital improvement projects include the acquisition, construction, and improvement of major items. Major equipment (expensive and long useful life), new property (buildings, land, and parks), public improvement projects (road and park improvements, sidewalk/bikeway/path projects, etc.), facility improvements, and vehicle replacements are some examples of projects considered capital improvement. Ranking Criteria and Process The capital improvement projects, with the assistance of other support staff, are ranked numerous times by the Departments, City Manager, the Budget Department, and Director of Finance.

Policy 1.1.1: City policies and programs should encourage the rehabilitation of upper stories of existing downtown buildings as office, retail, entertainment, and residential space. Financial incentives should be considered to encourage investment from the private sector. 1. The City administers a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Program in Districts 1,2,3,4 & 8 (inclusive of Downtown) through which building permit fees are waived and tax abatement is provided for 5 years for residential application or 5 to 10 years on commercial application depending on the investment amount. The City’s Economic Development Board is working to update the NEZ Program to encourage the development of housing in downtown. 2. The Iturbide “IT” program provides for the reimbursement (over a 5 year period) of the Sales Tax (1 %) with a cap equal to the start-up investment together with the waiver of building permit fees for rehabilitation of existing buildings within the Downtown Arts and Entertainment District along Iturbide from Juarez Avenue to Santa Ursula Ave.
