(a) Training. Each
new Texas Main Street City will receive at no charge basic training for its
Main Street manager at the beginning of the program. All new Main Street boards
will receive at no charge comprehensive board training at the beginning of
their city's Main Street Program. Additional training and continuing education
is available throughout a city's participation in the Texas Main Street
Program. Provisional, probationary, and affiliate participants may receive
training through the program subject to available Commission
resources.
(b) Technical

Provisional and affiliate participants are eligible for the Main Street

(d) Fees. Participants in
the Texas Main Street Program will pay a fee for participation in the program.
The amount of the fee is determined by the Commission. After a city's
acceptance into the program, any subsequent fees based on population shall be
based on the most recent decennial census. The Commission may waive the fee for
a Texas Main Street Small City in their first three years of participation.
(1) A Texas Main Street Small City shall pay
an annual fee of $535.
(2) A Texas
Main Street Urban City shall pay an annual fee of $3,500 for each of its first
five years of participation.

Texas Main Street Urban City shall pay an annual fee of $2,600 after its first
five years of participation.
(4) A
Texas Main Street Provisional City shall pay the annual fee of a Texas Main
Street Small City or Texas Main Street Urban City that corresponds to the
provisional city's population at the most recent decennial census. A
provisional city with a population equivalent to a Texas Main Street Urban City
shall be subject to the fee specified in paragraph (2) of this subsection
during their first five years of designation. Years accrued as a provisional
city shall count towards the first five years in regards to the annual
fee.
(5) A Texas Main Street Small
City reclassified per subsection (f) of this section shall pay an annual fee of
$700 in the first year after reclassification; $1,600 in year two; and $2,600
in year three and thereafter.
(6) A
$500 Training Fee may be assessed to any participating city, with the exception
of newly designated cities in their first year, that employs a new local
manager without significant Main Street knowledge and experience.
(e) Main Street Status. In order
to remain a Texas Main Street City, the community must be certified on an
annual basis by the Texas Main Street office to confirm that the community
meets all of the requirements for designation. A Texas Main Street City with
Probationary Status may have limitations placed on its participation,
assistance received through the program, and requirements during its
probationary status, as reflected in the written agreement with the
Commission.
(f) Reclassification.
Participants shall be reclassified as necessary between Texas Main Street Small
City and Texas Main Street Urban City based on the most recent decennial
census. Changes in fees necessitated by reclassification of a city shall be
assessed upon the following year's renewal. The Commission may establish a fee
schedule in subsection (d) of this section that graduates fee increases caused
by reclassification.
