The attached budget message will provide a detailed account of the proposed budget with the presentation providing a broad highlight of the same. City of Colleyville Page 1 Printed on 8/5/2011 Through efficient resource management ai7d fiscal responsibility, the Colleyville City Council strives to provide a range of quality services to inaintain and enhance the quality of life that Colleyville citizens enjoy. To this end, the fiscal year 2012 budget has been developed to balance the needs of the city in concert with the willingness of its taxpayers to pay for those services. This city's government continually endeavors to provide safe streets, dependable emer~ency responses, and safe and aesthetically pleasing parlcs and public facilities-all in a inanner that is both effective and efficient. We loolc forward to reviewing the proposed fiscal year 2012 budget with the Council and our con7munity. The proposed budget is balanced and in accordance with state law, the City Charter and ordinances. The combined proposed expenditures and transfers total $35,469,313, which is a $72,607 increase from the current year budget. One measure of a city's financial strength is the level of its fi~nd balance. lil lceeping with the Council's conservative fiscal policy of a 90-day reserve requireinent, the General Fund is projected to have 85 days over the 90-day ininimum and the Utility Fund is projected to have 63 days over the 90-day minimum cash balance as of September 30, 2011. The reserve earns interest, bolsters cash flow and is available for unanticipated expenditures or einergencies. As a non-recurring revenue source, beginning fi~nd balances are used to fund capital or other one-time expenses only. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ i ~ ' • Preparing the annual budget allows the City Council to steer a course toward a strategic vision that ali~ls municipal resources with community needs. Quality of life issues, such as neighborhood integrity, public safety, economic development, street maintenance, and leisure services are consistent themes in the strategic points adopted by the City Council. These include: • Malcing a long-term commitment to economic development • Fostering a more diversified tax base • Protecting and preserving neighborhoods • Delivering sustainable govermnent • Branding Colleyville with a uiuque identity By remaining focused on these initiatives, the community, City Council, and staff can weigh the divergent demands of the citizenry, pursuing only those elements that help achieve these initiatives, and thereby ensuring the highest priorities of the cominunity as a whole are accomplished. For tlus reason, every new effort and element of the City's business plan, including existing programs, is tied to one or more of these strategic points. Over the years, Colleyville's budget doctu7lent has evolved from a simple finai7cial report with proposals for expenditures and estimates of revenue, into the City's most comprehensive aiulual document establishing budgetary policies. The budget decisions outlined ii7 this document influence the fiscal state of the city, the fi~nction of its govenlment, and budget considerations for current and future needs. The City's budget, therefore, is the n~ost important worlcing policy and planning tool used by the City Council and staff in providing quality services to the citizens of Colleyville, as determined by the City Council and for which funds are available. Since 2009, the strategy employed to prepare the amlual budget has evolved to accommodate the reality of the "new norn~al," including the ongoing national recession, rising costs of service delivery, and the approaching build-out of the Golleyville community which has influenced resource allocation in ways rarely experienced during the previous decade, ai7d has necessitated consideration of a permanent change in fi~nding appropriation. Wlule lceeping mindful of national, state ai7d local financial factors, staff focused on lonb terin investn7ent and sustainability to shape the service delivery plan for fiscal year 2012, including: • I~IVestment in public safety • lilvestment in economic development • lilvestment in infrastructure • Investment in technology ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVILJLE ""~'.~ With this budget, staff is recommending allocating resources according to the priorities of our citizens and City Council, while maintaining the conservative fiscal approach that has allowed Colleyville to attain and maintaiil an AAA bond rating. The service delivery plan maintains or enhances the programs and services identified by our citizens as priorities, without an increase to the city's tax rate. It also fiulds all debt requirements and provides more than adequate debt service fund balances. Furthennore, the service delivery plan considers the city's most important resource-the employees who are ultimately responsible for service delivery. Local govermllent is a service orgaiuzation; and as with most service orgai7izations, the slcills, experience, education and most iinportant-the attitude-of our einployees are essential ingredients in our success. We can oi~ly attract and keep quality employees if we provide con~pensation, facilities, equipment, and a work environment within which each employee can reach her or his potential. Providii7g these keys to employee success is a basic concept that is increasingly difficult to implement with limited resources. After two years without compensation increases, the fiscal year 2012 budget considers a modest, onetime, non-recurring payment to employees. Finally, the service delivery plan does not include an increase in utility rates beyond a pass through should the Trinity River Authority (TRA) modify their rates. This year's proposed budget reflects an effort to balance expectations of citizens with available resources. It is important to note that, as this budget will serve as a policy document upon adoption for the next fiscal year, any service level enhancements inust be vetted and determined by the City Council, and will likely necessitate the loss or reduction of other programs or services in order to stay witlun our balanced budgetary parameters. To lceep our citizens informed, the proposed budget has been posted on the City's website at ~~v~~ Collevville com so that citizens can review it. Any questions or requests for additional inforination should be directed to Eric Ellwanger, strategic services manager, at 817-503-1112 or by email to eellwan~er c~,collevville com. Appreciation goes to the Mayor and City Council for their community leadership and solid financial acumen. I also want to thanlc the staff Budget Team, including Terry Lealce (assistant city manager/chief financial officer), Karen Hines (finance manager), Elise Welborn (human resources manager), and Eric Ellwailger (strategic services manager) for their efforts in building our service plan for 2012. My special thanks to all City employees who have worked so hard to provide quality services to our citizens and who are committed to the success of our great city. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ We are pleased to present the proposed FY2012 Combined Ai7nual Operating Budget for the City of Colleyville. This document represents a continued comnutment to pnident fiscal management, while maintaining and enhancing services that iinprove the quality of life of Colleyville's citizens and ineeting the expressed needs of our community. The proposed budget fiinds virtually all existing service levels and meets the City Council's priorities for service delivery and maintains the current tax rate. The proposed budget has been formulated by reflecting on a philosophy of: • Providing solid, high-quality, core governn~ental services • Efficiently allocating resources to ineet citizen needs • Affordability and sustainability • Capitalizing on teclulology to improve service delivery • Valuing our employees Furthering our coinmitment to effective community involveinent, a summary presentation of the proposed budget has been placed on the City's website ai7d cable channel. A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for September 6, 2011, to allow citizens to provide comments regarding the proposed budget. The proposed budget will be presented to City Council for final approval on September 20, 2011. On the national level, ecoi7omic trends continue to indicate low growth in the ecoi7omy with above average unemployment and low consumer confidence. The local economy has remained comparatively stable despite the ongoii7g national economic challenges. Colleyville is fortunate to have a strong residential base that helps to mitigate the negative effects of economic fluctuations. Property values have slightly declined again for fiscal year 2012, but minor growth is expected in economy-drivei7 revei7ues, such as sales tax and charges for service. It is expected that the current trend of limited new construction will continue, as no new subdivisioi7s are expected to be platted during the fiscal 2012 budget year. These economic forces continue to shape the "new normal" perspective froin which the annual budget is developed. Staff considered many factors in the preparation of the budget. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ First, staff considered an investn~ent in public safety for the fiscal year 2012 budget. In the 2010 citizen survey, 96 percent of respondents indicated that having a safe community was the most important factor of city service delivery. lii addition, Colleyville boasts the lowest crime rate of any city located entirely in Tarrant County. During the last year, the City Council has adopted a number of initiatives that are aimed at enhancing the safety and security of Colleyville, including a comprehensive update to the City's solicitation ordinance, n~alang it one of the n~ost aggressive rem.~lations of solicitation in the DFW region. In addition, the City Council has adopted a lonb term staffing plan for fire and police operations to ensure an adequate public safety response. li7 accordance with the City Council's adopted plans and focus on proper public safety staffing, this proposed budget includes a half year of funding for two additional firefighters ai7d oi7e additional police patrol officer as well as the addition of a corporal classification in the police department. An investment in economic developinent was also a factor considered ii7 this budget. The City Council continues to malce economic development a top strategic priority. To that end, the City Council recently adopted i7ew ii7centive guidelines and criteria, creating matching grant and forgivable loan programs that are designed to attract and retain commercial development as well as improve the aesthetic appearance of many of the city's le~acy commercial properties. In the most recent citizen survey, 28 percent of respondents indicated that attracting and lceeping quality businesses is the most critical issue facing Colleyville today. This proposed budget includes additional onetime funding for the Strategic Initiatives Fund, which provides an opportunity to provide such incentives at the City Council's discretion. lilvestment in infrastnicture was an important factor to be considered in the development of the fiscal year 2012 budget. Colleyville's growth as a community has plateaued since the pealc of development in 2005. lii addition, many of Colleyville's neighborhoods and associated infrastructure are nearing 30 years old. Citizens indicated in the 2010 citizen survey that it was iinportant to spend additional resources on pavement maintenance and road rehabilitation as well as iinproving intersections, and the City Council has n~ade preserving and investing in the city's infrastn~cture an important strategic priority. To that end, this proposed budget ii7vests a significant amount into improving infrastructure conditions. Funds are included for a pavement condition assessment that will scientifically evaluate the conditioi7 of all streets and pavement sub surfaces citywide. Funds for new trail and sidewall{ construction are also recominended, as well as court resurfacing for basketball and tennis courts in City Park. The proposed budget also includes a onetime transfer of funds towards the fi~ture replaceinent of the city's trunlced radio system. Finally, an investment in technology was prioritized for the fiscal year 2012 budget. Long-term service deliveiy sustainability is a priority for the City Gouncil and staff, and planning for how technology can be leveraged to make service delivery more efficient was recently outlined in the City's ii7formation systeins five-year strategic plan. The plan supports the updating and greater implementation of teclulology, including replacement of the City's phone system, server and desl~top con7puter virtualization, upgrading the City's cable chai7nel to current technology, and updating of the Gouncil Chainber audio/visual infrastn~cture to accommodate high-definition broadcasts. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ The proposed budget is balanced and prepared in accordance with state law, the Colleyville City Charter, ordinances, budget policies, and in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Governinental Accounting Stai7dards Board (GASB) "Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments." The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds or account ~oups, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. All funds are budgeted and accounted for on a Gei7erally Accepted Accoui7ting Practice (GAAP) basis for purposes of financial statement presentation. The governmental fund types use a fiilancial resources measurement focus and are accounted and budgeted for using the n7odified accrual basis of accountii7g. Under tlus inodified accn~al basis, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accn~al, i.e., both measurable and available. "Available" means collectible within the current period or soon enou~h thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures represent a decrease in net financial resources and, other than interest on general lonb term debt, are recorded when the fund liability is incurred, if ineasurable. lilterest on general long-term debt is recorded when due. Governn~ental fund types are those through which most governmental functions of the City are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the City's expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary and fiduciary fund types) are accounted for through govermnental fund types. Proprietary fiuld types are accounted and budgeted for on a cost-of-services or "capital maintenance" measurement focus, using the accn~al basis of accounting. These fund types operate in a inani7er siinilar to private business. The City utilizes only the enterprise fi~nd type. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recogiuzed when earned; expenses are recogiuzed when incurred. For purposes of tlus budget presentatioi7, depreciation is not displayed, and capital expenditures and bond principal payments are shown as uses of fi~nds. The City provides a fi~ll range of municipal services supported by statute or the Colleyville City Charter. This budget contains all of the funds that account for these services. The identity and functions of these funds are: • General Fund: to account for the resources and expenditures related to the generally reco~lized governmental services and/or fi~nctions provided by various City departments - a governinental fund type. • Utility Fund: to account for all the activities required for the provision of water and sanitary sewer to residents of the city - a proprietary fi~nd type. • Capital Projects Fund: to account for financial resources to be used for tlie acquisition or constniction of major capital projects - a governmental fi~nd type. • Equipment Replacement Fund: an internal service fuild to account for funding for, and acquisition of, the City's velucles, maintenance equipment, and coinputer equipment - a governmental fi~nd type. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ • Drainage Utility Fund: to account for all the activities required for the management of storin water drainage - a proprietary fiind type. • Court Technology Fund: to account for all activities, in accordance with state statutes, related to the collection and use of the Muiucipal Court teclu7ology fee imposed on convictions on cases adjudicated in the Court: a governmental fi~nd type. • Court Security Fund: to account for all activities, in accordance with state statutes, related to the collection and use of the Municipal Court building security fee imposed on convictions on cases adjudicated in the Court - a goveriunental fund type. • Strategic I~utiatives Fund: to account for financial resources to be used with the City Council's authorization for programs and projects linlced directly to the City's strategic plan - a governn~ental fund type. Continuation of sound financial and operational philosophies has guided the development of this proposed budget. By detiiutioi7, preparatioi7 of any budget is the allocation of scarce resources. There will always be more needs than available fi~nds, so the challenge is to ensure that available resources are dedicated to the community and City Council's highest priorities. The budget building process includes four key components: • Detern7ination of program and service plan based on the prioritization of the n7ajority of citizens • Determination of the value and cost of each service based on the level of service needed and/or desired by our citizens • Detennination of optiinal service delivery inethods based on value to ensure efficient, effective delivery of the services our citizens expect • Determination of the scope and value of government in relation to the availability of revenue for the City The goal is to best align services delivered with the needs identified as priorities by the commuiuty. The reality of any budget is that it consists of a collection of purchasing decisions. The City Council, on behalf of the citizens, establishes the costs commuiuty members are willing to pay for local goverilment services. Utilizing citizen input, the Council detern~ines various goals to ineet the priorities of citizens. Staff plays a critical role in guiding the process by providing purchasing proposals pursuant to the City Coui7cil's priorities. At the onset of each year's budget developinent process, staff is challenged with identifying the cost of each service and the expected outcomes of established service levels. Each line item of every program budget was reviewed for efficiency and optimal use of resources. Departinents also identified resource needs through the strategic plan initiative process, and a few new resource ileeds that align with the strategic plan are recommended for funding in this proposed budget. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVILJLE ""~'.~ i: . . . In preparing this budget, the primary goal was to achieve the identified objectives that maintain and improve services for citizens. The proposed budget has been stnictured to steer a course toward fulfillment of the city's strategic vision by aligning municipal resources with the overall needs of the community. Accepting the charge for developing recommendations for the proposed budget, staff used the City Council's strategic points as the primary guide: • Malcing a long-term coinmitment to economic development • Fostering a more diversified tax base • Protecting and preserving neighborhoods • Delivering sustainable government • Branding Colleyville with a unique identity • • • ~ Gehe~~al F~ind • Staff continues worlc to create and support positive attitudes toward developinent, including development process improvements, proactively addressing anticipated public safety issues related to development, and the creation of citizen advocates for economic development. Economic development funding in the amount of $330,560 to fiu7d an aggressive commercial promotion and development program is included in the proposed fiscal year 2012 budget. This includes funds for advertising, trade show promotion, and n7einbership in target industiy associations, such as the Health Industry Council of North Texas and DFW Area Tourisin Council, as well as the establishment of a new Colleyville Exchange to foster discussion and develop a cadre of advocates. • An effective, proactive communications and outreach plan helps the City comnninicate to stalceholders on a variety of issues, including economic development initiatives. As a result, the discipline in our coinmunications program is highly specialized, involving the need to coi7vey specific inessages to varyii7g targeted audiences. To auginei7t current staff efforts, the proposed budget provides $21,000 for contract work related to advertising and promotion of Colleyville. • The City's CoStar subscription has been of great help in inarlceting available properties. Likewise, CoStar has assisted the City in measuring retail and office building occupancies. Staff proposes to upgrade the CoStar subscription at a cost of $3,300 to include access to data from adjoining counties, particularly so the City may help illustrate similarities in the Primary Trade Area's demographics to prospective retailers. C,olleWille Ecoyaonric Developn~eyzt C'or~o~•ation (C'EDC,) • Special events and festivals bring substantial visibility and economic impact to the city and this budget proposal contains several recominendations that support Colleyville events. Funding through the CEDC in the ainount of $75,000 includes three special events: Holly Colley Holiday, the Old Tyme BBQ and Red, White & Sousa. Funding in the amount of ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ $44,368 is also recommended from the CEDC for the marlceting and proinotion of Colleyville, including the C,olleyville. C'lose B7ry. campai~l and the C'ome to C,olleyville visitor promotioi7, designed to support our local businesses. • ~ •~ ~ ~ ~ . ~ i, Ueyzeral F~rr~d • In fiscal year 2011, City Council established the Strategic lilitiatives Fund to fund projects and programs linlced directly to the City's strategic plan. A onetime transfer of $260,000 is recommended in the fiscal year 2012 budget. Such an an7ount is consistent with the recent addition of the Forgivable Loan program in the City's Economic Development lilcentive Guidelines to help attract and place destination restaurants and retailers to Colleyville. • Staff will continue efforts to attract and retain Colleyville's commercial development along major thoroughfares to increase commercial sources of revenue, therefore reducing the tax burden on residential properties. This includes worlcing with existing property owners and representatives to site master plan the remaining large, undeveloped tracts of coinmercial property in Colleyville, as well as pursuii7g opportunities to advance small business development and create business incubators to nurture the commercial tax base. Moreover, City staff also continues to comn7unicate with owners of smaller properties along Colleyville Boulevard to foster discussions of joint access easements and shared parlcing. (,EDC • Brokers and representatives of prospective restaurants continue to express concerns for the amount of local employment and a perceived lack of daytime population in Colleyville. Staff seelcs to quantify Colleyville's daytime population, including the presence of home-based employers and citizens, as well as an analysis of the city's growing medical office and FIRE (finance, insurance and real estate) employinent to use in refiiting these concerns. Therefore, funds in the amount of $10,000 have been included in the CEDC budget to conduct a daytime/einployinent analysis for Colleyville. • The proposed budget includes the second year of a four-year paybaclc plan for coinpleted enhancements at Colleyville Center, which were undertalcen to ensure the Center's role as a revenue generator for the City, and an economic catalyst for local businesses, restaurants, and service providers. '~• ~ ~. . ~ ~„} : ~ Ueyzeral F~rr~d • Public safety remains a top priority ainong Colleyville residents, and the City Council, likewise, has n7ade clear its commitment to maintaining a strong public safety core. Continued fi~nding for the Colleyville Gitizen Police and Fire academies is recommended. I~7 addition, fiulding for Citizens on Patrol and the Rehab Team is also included to support these fully fiinctioning, volunteer staffed and equipped programs in support of various City functions and events, or during extended einergency incidents where citizens would be safely able to provide support. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ • This budget also includes the addition of $79,760 to for the mid-year hiring of two firefighter/paramedic positions in the Fire Department, consistent with the adopted Fire Department staffing plan. The department's staffing plan will provide full operational staffing as of October 2014 (fiscal year 2015). • Consistent with the Police Department staffing plan, tlus budget includes funds in the amount of $31,596 for the mid-year luring of a police patrol officer. The proposed budget also includes funds in the amount of $18,000 to create the corporal classification in the Police Department, which will allow a designated second in command on patrol at all times. • With the reallocation of the administrative battalion chief to shift battalion chief in fiscal year 2010 and the elimination of the emergency mailagement coordinator in fiscal year 2011, overtime funds in the amount of $30,365 have been added to the Fire Department's budget to maintain service delivery. • A consistent focus by the City Council has been to continue effective fi~nding levels for street maintenai7ce. Given this, the proposed bud~et again provides $1,000,000 for pavement maintenance/rehabilitation to aggressively address our infrastn~cture maintenance needs. Aii asphalt overlay on a properly constructed street should last 20 to 25 years if it is properly maintained. Many of Colleyville's 158 iniles of paved streets were county roads that the City "inherited" and were not constn~cted to current standards and those streets are not lasting more than eight to 12 years with just an overlay. As we move forward, those streets that were not built to current City standards will be brought up to standard so that they will perform as they should. A new process referred to as" fiill depth reclamation" was iiutiated with the 2011 street rehabilitation program. This process mixes the existing surface asphalt with the subgrade soil to a depth of 12 inches, and then cement is added to the asphalt/soil inixture to provide additional strength. That treated asphalt/soil mixture is then compacted and four to six inches of asphalt are placed on top of the treated subgrade. • In an effort to more accurately evaluate the overall condition of our pavement and assist in better planning, the proposed budget includes $60,000 to have a comprehensive pavement condition assessment done by a contractor. This assessment will score every segment of our street system based on surface conditions, thicla7ess of pavement, type of sub-grade, and other quantifiable factors. A rating of 0 to 100 (100 being best) will be assigned to each street segment based on the analysis, and the data froin that assessment will be used to populate a pavement inanagement systein, which will serve as a decision support tool to assist in the development of a long-range coinprehensive infrastn~cture maintenance program. • The proposed budget also restores funding for installation and repair of sidewallcs, and coi7tinues the focus of eiil7ancing the safety of our cluldren and the wall{ability of the city to activity centers. Funding in the amount of $50,000 is in addition to escrowed funds for neighborhood districts as approved by the City Council in November 2008. • Additionally, iil October 2008 the City Council adopted a 10-year pay-as-you-go street CIl'. This program provides a means to address street infrastructure improvements by using the ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ General, Utility and other appropriate funding sources (as outlined in the CIP docun~ent). The fiscal year 2012 CIP includes reconstniction of Frontier Court and the evaluation of improvements at the Glade Road and Riverwallc Drive intersection as well as the McDonwell School Road and Westcoat Drive intersection. Projects delayed from fiscal years 2010 and 2011 that are scheduled to be completed in fiscal year 2012 include the intersection of John McCain and Pleasant Run roads, and the intersection of Jaclcson and Cheelc-Sparger roads. Other projects identified in the CIP that need to be reevaluated for fiinding include Blaclc Drive, Pembrooke Parkway West and Poi7derosa Lane. • The proposed budget continues to include $15,000 for the Library's material collection from the General Fund and $135,000 from the Voluntasy Library Fui7d for a total of $150,000. • Fundii7g in the ainotult of $12,000 is included for the resurfacing of two tennis courts at City Park. The tennis courts are utilized daily by tennis recreation leagues and clubs, daily tennis lessons for youths and adults and general play by citizens. Heavy utilization, as well as environmental factors, has contributed to surface deterioration, and resurfacing these courts will greatly improve their playability. In future budgets, it is planned to include $12,000 for the resurfacing of two courts annually, which will maintain suitable playing surfaces for the remaining four temlis and four baslcetball courts in our community's parlcs. UtiJitv F2znd • The cost of purchasing potable water froin the Trinity River Authority (TRA) has increased during the past year due to increased operational costs, decreased usa~e through effective water conservation by area cities and an overall percentage increase in Colleyville's percent of debt service due to usage during the current drought conditions. TRA faces lugher raw water costs, chemical costs, ongoing infrastn~cture inaintenance costs, labor-related costs, and con~pliance costs with n~ore stringent state and federal water quality remilations. It is lilcely their rates will increase with the new fiscal year beginning in December 2011. The proposed fiscal year 2012 budget incorporates the existing water ai7d wastewater rate structure; in the event TRA increases their cost for treated water and wastewater, that cost will be passed on proportionally to customers on all usage. • Funds in the amount of $70,000 have been added to the utility fi~nd fiscal year 2012 proposed bud~et for the ai7nual replacement of water meters. li7 fiscal year 2010, a surplus of ineters was purchased due to competitive pricing at that time. That surplus has been exhausted and in order to inaintain the replaceinent prograin of approximately 10 percent of all ineters on an annual basis, additional fi~nds are necessary. li1 addition, water meters are manufactured with brass, which has increased in price. • With the receilt installation of fiber optic iiifrastructure throughout Colleyville, vacuuin excavation is utilized more frequently to avoid damaging fragile telecommunication and natural gas service lines. Funds are allocated in the proposed Utility Fund budget for a lease purchase to replace the 1996 Vactor truck in the amount of $53,600. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVILJLE ""~'.~ C'EDC, • Fui7ding in the amount of $73,191 has beei7 continued in the CEDC budget for staff and operational costs related to the recent expansion of the library to the second floor. • With the anticipated completion of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, staff is recominending funding in the ainount of $134,905 for fi~ture parlc projects. The CEDC also includes proposed fi~nding for the design and right-of-way acquisition for the final phase of the Pleasant Run Trail, from Bogart to Mission Lane, thus com7ecting The Village to the Cotton Belt Trail system. CCCPD • The Colleyville Crime Control and Prevention District (CCCPD) will fi~nd four officer positions in fiscal year 2012, vehicle replacement, public safety software maii7tenance, regional recn~iting and hiring, a license plate reader, crime report/mapping software, wireless support for mobile digital computers, mobile video systein replaceinents and software maintenance, as well as continued support of the Teen Court program, handheld radio replacements and fi~nding of the Justice Center debt service. • The proposed budget provides a staffing level of 182.625 full-time equivalents (FTE), one more than in fiscal year 201 l, including 171 full-time positions. This reflects the addition of three fi~ll-time public safety personnel, including one police officer and two firefighter/paramedics. The fiscal year 2012 proposed staffing level also iilcludes the elimination of a full-time penllit clerlc, the freezing of a utility crew leader position, and the conversion of a fi~ll-time marlceting coordinator to a part-time position as well as an additional part-time events coordinator position. • Maintaiiung an investment in staff was an important componeilt in the developinent of this year's budget. For the third successive year, no salary range or recurring compensation adjustments are recommended in the proposed budget, due to the firture uncertainty of available resources to fund such ongoing operational costs. However, a onetime lump sum payment of one percent of remilar salary for each employee with a satisfactory or above rating on their last performance evaluation is proposed. It is iinportai7t to note that in the 2011 compensation study and analysis, 34 percent of the City's surveyed salary ranges were more thai7 five percent below marlcet. Ai7other 56 percent were within five percent, either below or above the nlarlcet, and 10 percent were nlore than five percent above the marlcet. While an assessment of the City's overall compensation philosophy would be a prudent measure, it would be difficult to develop a comprehensive strategy until the long-term revenue picture stabilizes. • The total cost for the insurance prograin is $1,791,237 in the proposed fiscal year 2012 bud~et, a decrease of $140,197 fron~ fiscal year 20ll costs. This amount includes health, dental, life, long-terin disability, COBRA, flexible spending account administration, and a health reiinbursement arrangement. Of this amount, $1,429,631 is funded through the General Fund. New for fiscal year 2012 is the implementation of tiered health insurance ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ subsidies, which are based on employee and spousal participation in the City's wellness program during the prior fiscal year. The annual health insurance premium subsidy for employee-oiily coverage ranges from $4,513 for Employee Tier 3 to $5,247 for Employee Tier 1 with family insurance coverage costing $11,005 for Employee/Family Tier 3 to $13,230 for Employee/Family Tier 1. The City continues to exhibit a substantial commitment to employee benefits by funding employee health insurance at a base of 86 percent and up to 100 percent with wellness participation and dependent insurance at a base of 61 percent and up to 75 percent by completing wellness activities. This new structure is an innovative approach to addressing increasing healthcare costs, yet provides a benefit for employees that allows the City to n7aintaii7 a competitive position ainong its peer cities. The wellness initiative is designed to improve employee health and to reduce the City's costs in the short tern~ with lower preiniums, and in the long term, through reduced utilization. • In addition, the City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). Under this system, the City matches the einployee retirement contribution at a 2:1 ratio. Currently the City contributes at the maximum rate of seven percent, provides updated service credit adjustments annually and a supplemental death benefit equal to an einployee's annual salary. In 2007, TMRS changed its accounting inethod for fiindin~ normal costs, annually repeating updated service credits and annuity increases to comply with updated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, resulting in the ainortization period for pension benefits shifting from a 25-year open period to a 30-year closed period. While unfunded liability is a reality among all TMRS cities, that liability changes on an annual basis due to actuarial calculations factored into each member city's rate. This year, the Texas legislature passed Senate Bill 350, which modified TMRS' internal account sti-ucture by combining three separate asset fiinds into one. The Muiucipality Accumulation Fund (MAF), the Employees Saving Fund (ESF), and the Current Service Annuity Reserve Fund (CSARF) merged into the Benefit Accun~ulation Fund (BAF), an action that is anticipated to not only lower city contribution rates but also to reduce year-to- year volatility of those rates. For most TMRS cities, funded ratios improved without a reduction to benefits for inembers or retirees because of the fund inerger. For Colleyville, this legislative change, coupled with the 2011 plan design change removing the automatic annual annuity increase for retirees and replacing it with an option for the City Council to authorize annuity increases on an annual basis, reduced the City's total pension cost by 48 percent over the past two years. The Gity is committed to ensuring the retirement benefit offered to employees is both affordable and sustainable. After meeting with TMRS representatives and evaluating the City's plan design, the proposed fiscal year 2012 budget includes fiuiding for participation in the TMRS program at a contribution rate of 7.38 percent (ani7ualized 8.335 percent), down 34 percent from the current rate of 11.2 percent. This reduces the City's total TMRS costs for fiscal year 2012 by $396,294 and eliininates, for the current actuarial period, any ui7fiinded liability for the City. • The City's cost for worlcers' compensation insurance is also decreasing in fiscal year 2012 by $33,614 in the General Fund. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ • li1 fiscal year 2012, staff will continue to work toward completion of a comprehensive update of the Persoilnel Policies and Procedures Manual. Tlus includes reviewing current policies, as well as developing new policies. An employee committee will provide input. Staff continues refinement of a comprehensive performance management program for the City. Beginning in fiscal year 20ll, quarterly reporting on program and service performance was implemented in order to monitor operational efficiency aild create greater orgaiuzational accountability. Feedbaclc from the perforinance inanagement tools and performance indicators will serve to reinforce alignment of City services with citizen expectations. The open space mowing contract has been reduced for the second consecutive fiscal year. Irrigated areas will be mowed 24 times ani7ually, down from the current 30; non-irrigated areas will be mowed 18 times amlually, saving approximately $16,020. Staff is also proposing to transition all planting beds to pereiu7ial plantings rather than aiu7uals, which will not only save $10,552 for plant material annually in firture years, but reduce the amount of water needed for irrigating planting beds. Cost savings for this change will not be realized in the first year since fi~nding will be needed to purchase and plant pereni7ials at all bed locations. • Beginning this fall, recreation class and activity brochures will no longer be mailed to individual households, but will be available online through a fully digital, interactive brochure at CollevvillePARD com. Brochures are created for three seasons-fall, winter/spring and summer. Tlus new delivery method will reduce the fiscal year 2012 recreation budget by approximately $12,000 due to the savings in printing and mailing brochures. Marketing and promotion efforts for the online brochures will utilize the city website, Parks and Recreation Departn~ent webpage, ColleWille C,omnn~j~icato~~, C'olleyville E-C~onan~iss7icator, City E-news, Parlcs and Recreation newsletter(s), the City's Faceboolc page, and a inedia release to the local media inarlcet. Due to the reduction in staff time of manual materials sorting through the acquisition of the exterior drive-up library collection materials sorter, $65,000 is included for the purchase of an additional library collection materials sorter that will replace the existing interior book drop. It is estiinated that a ininiinuin of 20 hours weeldy can be saved through eliminating manual sorting of materials returned at the circulation deslc, and will increase collection availability for the citizens. An energy audit ($2,000) is included to provide an evaluation of energy usage in facility operations and the perforinai7ce of a detailed evaluation of energy conservation ineasures. It is anticipated that major energy consuming systems will be evaluated with insight into short and longer term energy consumption patterns. The audit will identify energy-conservation measures appropriate for the facility, given its operating parameters. • lilcluded in the proposed 2012 proposed bud~et is the implemei7tation of year oi7e of the City's I~7formation Systems Management Strategic Plan: ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVILJLE ""~'.~ - Included is $43,800 for the replacement of the camera systems located in the City Council chamber areas and executive conference room which was installed in 2003. The existing camera systems do not have the capability to provide broadcast signals in the current high definition technology. Additionally, because the camera systems are of traditional quality, replacements are no longer available and the system is at the end of its useful life. Also included is $7,571 for the upgrade of the broadcast content manager to current technology and $6,500 for an audio/visual engineer for the development of a long-range replacement plan for the City's public meeting broadcast equipment. - Also included is $126,000 for the replacement of the existing phone systems within the City which are beyond individual system usefiil life. The acquisition of a uiufied phone systein will eliminate the cost of analog phone lines and inaintenance by $20,500 annually. Service to our citizens will also iinprove as the unified phoi7e systein will provide for seamless phone call transfer. It is estimated the new phone system will have a useful life exceeding over 10 years, which exceeds the six year retunl oi7 investment. - liicluded is $174,000 for replacing deslctop and server operations Citywide with a centralized virtual ei7vironmei7t in a data cei7ter. This program will provide an average am7ual cost savings of $73,150 by eliminating the need for amlual deslctop and server replaceinents. There is $31,000 included for the future replacen7ent of blade servers, bringing the net annual budgetary savings to $42,150 and the retunl on investment at approximately four years. Additionally the move to a central platform will create efficiencies in user services as well as liiformation Systems Management services. - Also included is $8,446 for the replaceinent of a nine year old einail server. Upgrading the einail server to a newer version will provide for the use of mobile sync applications and newer technolo~ies such as unified communication - liicluded is $9,162 for a web-filtering device to mitigate virus and malware probleins. This will be placed in one of the data centers and is very commonly used in both local govermnent and private industry to prevent external data threats. • As the City begins to refine the Capital lil7provement Program process, fiulds in the amount of $25,000 are proposed to purchase a GIS-based asset management system that will allow the City to capture information about Colleyville's public infrastructure facilities (streets, water and sewer lines, stonll sewer pipes and inlets, facilities, signs, and pavement). This software will allow the City to document our inventory and condition ratings, by asset category, and assist in prioritizing where inaintenance and/or renewal is most needed. The data we collect froin the paveinent inspections and ratings will populate the paveinent inodel of the selected system. Public Works and I~7formation Systems Management staff are worl~ing together to select the system that best meets Colleyville's needs. • An ongoing means of managing costs in the long terin is to aggressively seelc ways to maximize econoinies of scale for cost savings. As with past years, part of the budget approach is to embrace the concept of partnering with other governmental units, with the guiding principle that it should meet the benefit, econoinic and efficiency thresholds for ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ Colleyville. The proposed budget will contract for services with other governments and agencies in the following areas: Pz~blic Safetv • Continuation of funding for the regionalization of public safety communications and jail seivices is included in fiscal year 2012 through a multi-year interlocal contract with the cities of Keller and Sotrthlalce. Contracting these services reduced Colleyville's costs by $115,482 in the first year. The regionalization increased the level of service to our citizens through additional dispatch and jail staffing. Additionally in fiscal year 2011, Tarrant County 9-1-1 leased the Colleyville Coinmuiucations Center as their permanent baclciip site, wluch created additional revenue and will keep the facility up to date with the latest technology. Also included in the fiscal year 2012 budget is continued participation in the Metroport Teen Court, which is fi~i7ded jointly with the cities of Colleyville, Grapevine, Keller, and Southlalce. Fui7ding is also provided for animal shelter services by the City of Hurst, as well as funding to ineet the contractual obligations of the Bedford Response Area. • I~I addition, the original Tarrant County NETCO radio consortium inember cities are actively seelang several different avenues of funding to upgrade our 800MHz trunlced radio system. The Colleyville Police ai7d Fire departments continue to be integral partners in this collaborative effort aimed at securing fi~nding and equipment for Project 25 (P25) upgrades to the radio system. P25 involves the nationwide conversion of radio systems from analog to digital. This chan~e to P25 standards for public safety radio systems has been adopted by the Federal Coinmunications Commission (FCC) to replace aging radio systems to enhance interoperability through digital teclu7ology. The P25 conversion will include all radio equipment (i.e., towers, consoles, portable radios, handhelds) and the industry goal is to begin constniction in 2013 and achieve coinpliance by 2015. This proposed budget includes a$100,000 transfer to the capital equipment replaceinent fi~nd for seed money for the firture system conversion. St~eet OverJcrv • To n~axinlize street maintenance, the City will continue partnering with Tarrant County, which provides County labor resources for street maintenance at no cost to the City. The County has unique street overlay capabilities and has shown a strong interest in supplementing our maintenance program. Elect~oy~s~ • It is anticipated that the City will continue to contract with the Tarrant County Elections Administration Department to conduct local elections. The efficiency and expertise provided by the County enhance the quality of the electoral process available to our citizenry. B7rildirig Mairate~raf~ce • The City will continue to contract with Tarrant County for janitorial support services for the Colleyville Justice Center, Colleyville Public Library, Colleyville City Hall, and Colleyville Senior Center. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ Gra~ev~ne-C,olleyville Irlde~erlderlt Scl~ool Distr•ict • The City will continue efforts with the District for tax collection services and use of recreational facilities to maximize our operating budget. Ecor~o~rzic Develo~n~~erit • The City will continue partnering with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) to host a website offering properry infonnation in support of our economic development efforts. City infrastructure iilformation, mapping capabilities, and property information is provided on the site. Contracting services for GIS-related mapping information for aerial photography with the NCTCOG for public worlcs and economic development will also continue. : ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ i~~: Gene~~al Fzrhd • Colleyville citizens will have an opportuiuty to again express their opiiuons in the City's bieni7ial citizen survey, scheduled to be conducted in early 2012. This survey will gather iilput and opinions on all facets of service delivery and commuiuty character. Funds in the amoui7t of $15,000 have been included in the proposed budget for an outside contractor to conduct the survey, coinpile the data, and prepare an analysis for City Council presentation. • Staff has fostered the production of a C'on~e to ColleWille~~C'olleyville C'lose Bzrv video through a local vendor in the current fiscal year, and the production is nearing completion. As a continuation of that effort, the City seelcs to document and communicate a"Why I Chose Colleyville" campaign to help illustrate the reasons why residents and corporate citizens have made the n~ove here. C'EDC • Funds are included for an enhanced presence at DFW area bridal shows to market Colleyville as a destination for weddings and other lifetime milestone events. ~YC/!T?GbG F?lJ1L~ • Staff is recommending the continuation of the household hazardous waste collection program and the Clean Sweep aiulual collection through $12,000 froin the Drainage Fund and a coi7version of solid waste franchise revenue in the amount of $10,000. lil future years, it is incumbent upon the City to address these issues, wlule ineasuring the sustainability of the options. '~ ~ ^II li1 developing the proposed budget, the focus was to constnict a balance between revenues and expenditures, and prioritized operational needs and long-term cominunity investment strategies. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ Reveyl~res Major revenue considerations in the proposed General Fund budget include: • An iilcreased Operation and Maintenance (General Fund) tax rate component due to declining bonded indebtedness, but no overall increase in the total tax rate • lilcreased sales tax revenue • A decrease in the investinent earnings rate from 0.75 percent to 0.35 percent • An increase in the administrative transfer-in from the Utility Fund due to the near record setting heat and drought conditions occurring in fiscal year 201 l, as the transfer is based upon actual water and wastewater sales Pt•ope~tv Tax The inajor bud~etary issue in preparing an annual budget is the setting of the property tax rate. Once the roll is received ii7 late July, the tax rate is deterinined by the debt rate needed to pay for the City's bonded indebtedness and funds needed for mainteilailce and operation funding in the General Fund. In 2003, the City Council increased the Over 65 Property Tax Exemption to $65,000 and approved the Senior Property Tax Freeze in 2004. The loss in property tax revenue from the Senior Tax Freeze for the upcoming year is projected to be $131,626. Currently, 17.56 percent of all residential property tax accounts are frozen. The main source of income for the City is property taxes, accounting for 58 percent of our total revenue. The Tarrant Appraisal District has certified Colleyville's property valuations for 20ll at $3,730,446,941, which ii7cludes the TIF District valuation of $245,416,770 and $49,197,461 in new constn~ction. This represents a value decrease of 0.283% from the current year's taxable valuation of $3,740,986,145. Commercial properties are the primary driver of the decrease in assessed valuations. As subinitted, the proposed budget maii7tains a property tax rate of $0.3559 per $100 valuation to support a property tax levy of $12,271,596, excluding the TIF property and frozen value. The tax rate is coinprised of ai7 operation and maintenance rate of $0.308812, and an interest and sinlcing rate of $0.047088. The latter component provides fi~nding for retirement of the annual debt obli~ations. In a review of peer cities, Colleyville has the second lowest tax rate in northeast Tarrant County, and that is not anticipated to change with the adoption of the proposed budget. The proposed property tax rate of $0.3559 is almost one cent less than the effective tax rate of $0.3650. The effective tax rate is the rate at which the City would raise the same amount of revenue raised in the last fiscal year. If the City of Colleyville were to adopt a 2011 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.3650 per $100 of value, taxes on existing property would decrease compared to 2010 taxes by $691,971. As shown in the following table, the proposed 2012 property tax rate will slightly reduce the typical hon7eowner's tax bill compared to this year's tax billing. The average hon7eowner will see a property tax payinent reduction of $2.32. The total reduction from the pealc values in 2010 is $7.61. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ ~: 3, '~i t~ . . ~ ~ ~-~ Y 2010 $398,957 $0.3559 $1,419.89 2011 $397,472 $0.3559 $1,414.60 2012 $396,818 $0.3559 $1,41228 Sales~ Tcrx The second inajor financial consideration guiding developinent of the budget is the growth of sales tax revenues. The City collects a total two percent sales tax: one percent for General Fund and the remaining one percent allocated for two half-cent special purpose districts. As there has been a slight upturn in the local ecoi7omy, a one percent revenue growth is projected over the fiscal year 20ll projection and a iune-and-a-half percent increase over the fiscal year 2011 adopted budget. Iyltet•est Ecn~ylif~gs lilterest income of 0.35 percent is projected, equating to $35,000 for the General Fund. While interest earnings have decreased significantly since 2007, the City utilizes laddering of investments in treasury notes, agency notes and the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) to maximize returns on longer-term investments. Ex~enditzr~es The following illustration shows how the City proposes to spend each tax dollar in the upcoining fiscal year.

For budgeting purposes, the fi~nd segregates the operating expenses and debt service _ << ~~ <~F ~ COLLEYVILLE - ,~ in an accounting fashion similar to the General Fund. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this fiind uses a full accn~al basis of accounting that combines the accounting of long-term assets and liabilities with operating expenses and revenues. As a stand-alone Enterprise Fund, the Utility Fund pays its share of overhead costs as a reimbursement to the General Fund. The fund also malces a franchise fee payment to the General Fund. Rever~ues~ Under the current rate stn~cture, water sales account for 74 percent of this amount and sewer revenues account for 24 percent. lilterest, tap fees, and miscellaneous revenues malce up the reinainder. The current rates are based on the City paying the Trinity River Authority $2.32 per 1,000 gallons for water and $1.63 for wastewater. Meeting bond coveilant requirements, the existing rate structure provides for a 1.5 times coverage factor. An additioi7al rate increase of $0.14 (water) and $0.10 (sewer) per 1,000 gallon usage has been scheduled since 2000 to be impleinented for the reinaining share of debt issuance for the utility relocation costs of State Highway 26/Colleyville Boulevard (estimated constn~ction after 2015). Ex~ej~ditz~~es Utility Fund expenditures total $11,562,593 for the proposed budget. The largest coinponent, 64 percent of the fund, covers the contractual obligation for water and wastewater to the Trinity River Authority. As part of the program to repair and rehabilitate the utility system, the budget coi7tinues funding the ani7ual ineter replaceinent prograin at a cost of $95,000. The expenditure increase in the budget from fiscal year 2012 is due to the increase in the cost of treatment of water ai7d wastewater by the Trinity River Authority. The following illustrates the distribution of expenses for the Utility Fund. ~~ ~ ~ "~,~~ . ~ {~~er Tr~a rrsfers ~a~~6 {i 4~O ~+4af'G~ ~~,~~rr~inis~r~ati~v~n ~ ~iElin~ ~~°~~ _ << ~~ <~F ~ COLLEYVILLE - ,~ a~b~ The City budgets for debt service in two separate funds: utility and tax-supported debt services. The Utility Fund's coverage ratio of 1.20 times aiulual debt service is effectively met with a projected 1.50 ratio with the current rate stn~cture. There is a plamled drawdown of fi~nd balance in the amount of $ll6,839 for the repayment of the midmount fire apparatus acquired in fiscal year 2010. The projected ending fiscal year 2012 fund balance will be in excess of the 90 day reseive needed. The total fiscal year 2012 debt obligation for tax supported debt is $2,117,990, a decrease from the fiscal year total of $2,486,612, due to declining debt service and the refui7ding of outstanding callable debt in February 2011. The total utility supported 2012 bonded debt obligation is $833,012 and includes the first year lease payment of $53,600 for the lease of a replacement sewer vactor tn~clc. Furthennore, the City's bond ratings are evidence of Colleyville's financial strength. lii 2009, the City received an upgrade in its general obligation bond rating from AA+ to AAA from Standard and Poor's. A strong tax base growth coupled with a low tax rate, strong financial performance, and substantial cash balances are the primary reasoi7s for the bond rating. The Waterworlcs and Sewer System revenue bonds and the Drainage System revenue bonds also received a rating upgrade in 2009. Standard and Poor's upgraded the water and sewer utility revenue boi7ds fron7 AA- to AA+ and drainage utility revenue bonds from AA to AAA Fitch ICBA also upgraded our Drainage System revenue bonds from A+ to AA. Reasons for the upgrades include strong financial operations, ~rowth in service area, adequate water and sewer treatment capacity to meet future deinands, and moderate debt ratio with inanageable fi~ture borrowing plans. These credit ratings for outstanding debt mean the City's bonds are considered to be of superior investment quality, meaning lower interest pay111ents. With a population of 22,860, Colleyville is the only city in Texas with a population under 25,000 to hold bond ratings of this quality. li1 1993, the City Council adopted a montl~ly fee assessed on residential and cominercial utility billing accounts for stormwater inanagement. The Storinwater Drainage Utility Fund lceeps pace with the increased operation and maintenance of the city's drainage system and addresses federally n~andated requirements for stormwater systeins. This fund is designated to help maintain streets, sewers and drainage ditches to mailage runoff from commercial and residential developmei7t. A Drainage Division was previously established to account for related personnel and operating costs. ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ The Fund receives $917,459 annually from the collection of the monthly fee. Annual debt payments for the outstanding bonds comprise $253,350. The remaining funds of $573,197 are allocated for six staff positions and drainage projects throughout the city. The drainage bonds require a coverage ratio of 1.25 times amlual debt service, approximately $316,688 annually. . . ~ . The City Council continues to be innovative in evaluating financing options for various City programs. Programs implemented, to date, ii7clude: Colleyv~Ile Tax Irlcrerr~ent Fiha~rcing (TIF) D~s~t~ict The Tax lilcrement Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) District, also lalown as the TIF, was created in 1998. The primary goal of the district is to encourage quality commercial development in the city. The district boundaries predominately occupy property located along State Highway 26/Colleyville Boulevard, comprising 633 acres of land area. The base value for the district was $75,821,735 in 1998. lilcremental values subsequent to January 1998 are taxed at the City's adopted property tax rate. However, the ad valorem revenues are utilized within the district rather than being allocated to the City's overall budget. Overlapping taxing entities, includii7g Tarrant County, Tarrant County College District, Tarrant County Hospital District, and the Grapevine-Colleyville li7dependent School District participate at varying levels in the district by assigning their ad valorem tax dollars. The incremental value for fiscal year 2012 (tax year 2011) is $245,416,770, an increase of $5,429,311 (2.26 percent) froin the valuation for fiscal year 2011 (tax year 2010). In 1998, initial planning projections stated the ai7ticipated incremental property valuation for the district would be $168,823,400 in fiscal year 2012. The actual fiscal year 2012 ii7cremental value is a 45 percent increase over the original 1998 projection for fiscal year 2012 and 224 percent over the base value of the district. The debt service payment for the coming year is $680,950 for bonds issued for district projects. Additionally, expenditures are anticipated for payments to the Village at Colleyville and Colleyville Town Center for developer asset repurchase agreements as a result of TIF Board and City Gouncil incentivized approved proj ects. C,olleyville C'r•inie Cos~~t~•ol ar~d Pr•eventios~~ Dis~tr°ict (CC,CPD) The primary goal of the district is to fi~nd public safety facilities. The district was created by voter approval in 1999, with oversight of funds assigned to the board of directors, composed of the City Council. State law provides that a district's life is limited to five years, unless voters continue the district by approval of a referendum. In September 2003, Colleyville voters approved continuation of the district for an additional 20 years. Expected revenue from the 0.5 percent special purpose sales tax, use of funds generated froin prior years' coverage ratio and related interest incoine for the proposed budget is $1,282,386. The budget provides funding for the annual debt for the Colleyville Justice Center, compensation ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ for four police officers, vehicle replacement and various minor capital, with total expenditures of $1,080,302 for fiscal year 2012. Colleyville EcohoNZic Develo~n~eht Cot~oratior~ (CEDC ) Authority for the corporation is provided by state statute as a 4B Corporation. The 0.5 percent sales and use tax approved by the voters in Aum~st 1996 has been an important resource in our capital improvement program for community-related facilities. Expected revenue from the special purpose sales tax, use of fi~i7ds generated froin prior years' coverage ratio and related interest incoine for the proposed budget is $1,769,125. The CEDC Board will meet in August to approve the proposed budget. Funding provided by tlus special sales tax has been allocated to coininunity development initiatives consistent with the atrthorization of the corporation, including park facilities, the Colleyville Public Library, and Colleyville Center. Consistent with state law, some funds will likely be allocated by the board of directors for promotional efforts for special events and marlceting. Our local econoiny was robust for the inajority of the past decade. During this period, the City Council exhibited prudent fiscal foresight and overall restraint in the face of compelling, yet coinpeting deinai7ds for liinited resources. Because of the current tax stn~cture and the components of costs for local govermnents, facing long-term fiscal challenges is a reality for most cities in Texas. Property tax as a revenue source could be adversely affected in fi~ture years if state legislative efforts are successful in decreasing the curreilt 10-percent cap on residential appraisal growth. Growth caps of 3 percent and 5 percent for local government property appraisals have been discussed in recent legislative sessions. Therefore, diversification of the tax base is essential and the most immediate means for remedy is through strong economic development efforts. A benefit of a city reaching complete build-out is the efficiency in realizing the maximization of revenues. For a city lilce Colleyville, this brings about some unique challenges. Colleyville is landlocked and is almost entirely developed. Tlus means it has few opportunities for true growth. This obligates the city to maximize economic opportunities within its very limited available cominercial land and zoning. The city is primarily zoned and developed as residential, with only a very small percentage of the land zoned for commercial activity. Pn~dent and judicious consideration inust be made regarding its fiiture use. It will be ii7cumbent upon us all to guardedly review all proposals for conversion of this limited commercial space to non- cominercial uses or less productive cominercial use. To effectively and efficiently meet the needs of our citizens, innovation and continual improvements by the organization are expected. Colleyville's ability to provide excellent public service for our citizens is due to the dedication, slcills, and talents of not just our elected officials and volunteer board members, but also by our outstai7dii7g employees. Employee devotion and commitinent to this coininunity are demonstrated each and every day. Compensation study after ~ ,{~~ CO~LL_E~YVIL/LE ""~'.~ study reveals that Colleyville frequently ranks lowest of area cities in actual salaries for its employees. Yet at the same time, we have a citizenry that exhibits high demands and expectations. It is critically important the City Council stay focused on investing iil competitive compensation and benefits in order to attract and retain high quality employees. An additional potential pressure on the City's budget is the ongoing threat of federally mandated collective bargaining for public safety einployees. Texas is a local-option state that allows local entities to determine if collective bargaining is appropriate for its public safety employees. This federal proposal is ai7 unprecedei7ted encroachment into state and local public safety operations and is actively being opposed by local officials and agencies around the country. The City has been consistently recognized throughout the years for its judicious management of financial resources to support an array of services and programs.
