MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FR: Chad D. Nehring, City Manag
Date: September 9, 2016
RE: Agenda Comments for Regular Meeting of September 9, 2016
REGULAR MEETING AGENDA:
III.A. Ordinance 2016- 08— Adopting Tax Rate and Levy for Fiscal Year 2017 (FYI 7)
To conform to the revenue projections and demands of the draft budget, the tax
levy ordinance is presented for Council approval. It does impose a tax rate
slightly higher than the calculated effective tax rate by 1. 89% and generates
1, 700 more than the prior year when excluding new value added to the rolls.
The rate to generate revenue sufficient for budget is $0.56/$ 100 of valuation.
This action also ratifies and continues all exemptions and designates the portion
of the tax and levy applicable to both operations and maintenance (O& M) rate
and interest and sinking (I& S) rate. Staff recommends approval to ensure
revenues projected for budget appropriations.
III.B. Ordinance 2016- 09— Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2017 (FYI 7)
This is the annual action to formally adopt the budget for the upcoming fiscal
year. The final draft has been presented to Council with all funds balanced and
rates and fees necessary to provide the projected revenues approved and adopted
prior to this item. The ordinance identifies the budgeted amounts for each
operational fund ofthe City. Most funds are relative to prior year exemplified by
the General Fund increasing only 0.30%, which is less than $ 14, 000 from prior
year. The Utility Fund and I& S Fund are the exceptions, with both increasing due
to funding of capital projects and projected increases in annual debt payments.
Both of these increases were planned prior to this year' s budget and include
projects identified in the capital improvement budget. This ordinance further
approves the capital improvement budget and the annual budgets of the TIRZ#1
and both EDCs all the fiscal responsibility of the City. Finally, this annual action
item includes the review and adoption of several major fiscal policies of the City
covering: debt management, fund balance. investments and purchasing. Staff is
extremely pleased to offer this document for approval upon achieving the vast
majority of Council goals given the limited resources and lack of increased
revenues available this fiscal year. We are pleased that this is accomplished while
also meeting all the policy goals of the Council in maintaining satisfactory
operational and emergency fund balances and also dedicating resources to the
newly created fixed asset replacement fund without substantial impacts to services
or rates.
III.C. Ordinance 2016- 10— Amending the Budget for Fiscal Year 2016 (FYI 6)
This is the annual ordinance to amend and adjust as necessary the allocations of
the current fiscal year budget and accommodating for special projects or items
specifically approved by Council. The changes reflect minor increases in
revenues and expenditures of major funds primarily reflective of the Council' s
directive and goal to dedicate funding necessary to create and sustain a fleet
replacement fund. These amounts should provide 100% funding of future vehicle
replacements for the fleet inventory included in the program and utilizes existing
fund balance amounts as instructed to ensure the self-sufficiency of this activity
prospectively. This is further outlined in the FY 17 budget packet. This action
also includes two land asset acquisitions authorized by Council and several other
minor projects as identified. Finally, the allocations for the Recreation Fund
which was also created after FYI budget g
approval pp and is presented p
sen ed as balanced
without subsidy in just this first year ofoperations. Mr. Gibson will be available
ifthere are detailed questions and staff recommends approval.
III.D. Resolution 2016-26— TP& W Grant Application Authorization
This action will authorize the submission of a grant for the upgrade and
improvement of Perry Sampson Park under the previously approved concept plans
that Council has authorized for TCDP grant application the prior two funding
cycles. The local matching funds are secured by funds dedicated under the 2016
Cos and reflected in the FYI 7 Capital Improvement Program budget. The
application will be to obtain $300,000 in funds on a 50- 50 matching basis for the
300,000 of local funding thus providing for substantial rehabilitation and
enhancement of the facility rather than just a decent facelift. Upon approval, staff
will coordinate with MHS Design on the final application which requires
submittal by October 1.
III.E. Approve Award of Bid for Timber Sale on Various City Properties
Mr. Mike Walker, Azimuth Forestry, was contracted by Council earlier this year
to coordinate the advertisement and marketing for sale of various timber tracts
owned by the City. The land management plan presented and approved several
months ago. recommended several tracts at Lake Pinkston, City Lake and the
airport, for various levels of timber harvesting and management. These bids
reflect sealed offers for that as a single project package. Mr. Walker will be
present for questions. Based on preliminary estimates, while slightly lower than
hoped, staff recommends award as presented to the highest bidder, Advantage
Forestry Unlimited in the amount of$90,505.
III.F. Award ofBid—Sanitary Sewer Improvement and Lift Station Elimination Project
This project has finally come to the point of construction after years of delay by
the Texas Water Development Board in bureaucratic reviews and required
studies. While bids were extremely competitive, project delays and modifications
of original scope, primarily from relocating the lift station site, the low bid is
roughly$ 200,000 higher than the original project estimate. The cost of
relocating, avoiding condemnation ofthe preferred site is the primary contributor
to the increased costs as is the inflation of pipe costs over the last four years.
Local funds for the difference should be available from reductions already
realized in the WWTP rehab project, specifically over$ 120,000 in reduced
electrical and engineering costs from the original projections. The potential of
removing items to reduce project scope has been reviewed as has any possibility
of reductions from rebidding the project, both with no expectations of viability of
positive outcomes. For these reasons, staff and the consulting engineer are in
agreement recommending approval even given the necessity of adding local funds
to this project to the low bidder, Doughtie Construction Co., of Huntsville in the
amount of$2, 153, 323. 55.
III.G. Approve Street Closure for the Poultry Festival 5K Chicken Run
This is the annual request for a 5K run the Saturday morning during the Poultry
Festival along the customary route as detailed in the request from the Chamber of
Commerce sanctioning this event. Staff can accommodate as usual pending
emergency calls and this notice can be forwarded to TXDoT to allow traffic
control for interruptions as needed.
Items of Interest:
1) DETCOG Action—According to the Board agenda, DETCOG allocated
additional grant funds to the City for completion of prior activities to which
the City had to supplement with local funds to complete but staff and our
consultant were not made aware of this potential action, nor invited and
haven' t received information of any outcome.
2) Doo Dah Parade— Fire Truck available as usual for those that wish to ride
3) TML Attendees— Staff will provide a coordinated itinerary, meeting
invitations and information relative to TML annual conference next week.
