appropriate and spend public monies for and in connection with economic development activities; 
provided, if the city or town desires to enter into a “retail development tax incentive agreement” (as 
defined in the statute), the city or town is required, pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-500.11(K), to “adopt a notice 
of intent to enter into a retail development tax incentive agreement at least fourteen days before approving 
a retail development tax incentive agreement.”
