City Council operates with four district council members and two at-large council members. Although all three items passed—adopting criteria, establishing guidelines for submitting proposals and appointing a 2018 Redistricting Advisory Committee—Council Members Amy Mitchell and Carol McCutcheon were not in favor of appointing active council members to the committee. Under the approved guidelines, each council member and the mayor appointed a resident to serve on the committee. Additionally, the mayor appointed Council Members Himesh Gandhi and Bridget Yeung, who will not seek re-election due to term limits. 3) First Colony Mall Lifestyle Center improvements approved Council approved a development agreement between the city, Sugar Land 4B Corporation, Sugar Land Development Corporation and First Colony Mall for improvements to the mall's Lifestyle Center. Improvements include removing the fountain located at the Cheesecake Factory. This will be replaced with artificial turf with shade awnings, oversized lawn games, a 21-foot by 11.5-foot digital screen and other amenities, according to meeting documents. First Colony Mall officials have indicated these improvements should generate a 10 percent increase in sales. The mall will take on the lesser of $750,000 or 37.5 percent of the total project costs, according to meeting documents. The mall will also receive 75 percent of new sales tax exceeding the baseline, and the city will receive the remaining 25 percent to put toward property tax reduction.
