The Mayor requested City Council confirm the reappointment of Zion Escobar (a Harris County appointee) to Position One of the Board of Directors of Reinvestment Zone Twenty, for a term ending December 20, 2027. This item was pulled by the Administration and was not considered by Council.

What it means for you

No action was taken on this appointment, so the seat on the Reinvestment Zone Twenty board remains unchanged for now. Reinvestment zones direct tax increment financing dollars toward development and improvement projects in designated areas of Houston.

Outcome

On the January 6, 2026 council agenda. Outcome pending minutes processing.
