1 City of Las Cruces. ROBERT GARZA. CITY MANAGER. APRIL 19, 2013 LasCrucesNotificationSystem.com REGISTER FOR FREE! APRIL GROSS RECEIPTS TAX REPORT AND UPDATE City Budget Manager Dick Gebhart has provided the monthly Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) report for April. He has included a comparison of the same month last year, as well as year-to-date figures for the current fiscal year against the budget assumptions and values. The year-to-date receipts remain at an improved level (+3.9%) over the same period last year, which is 1.6% higher than our adopted projected growth rate of 2.3%. Retail trade has resumed its trend of being lower this year than last (year-to-date is -2.7%). The bright spots for the year continue to be construction, health care, social services and other services, as well as the medical distribution of the Hold Harmless (which we now know will be short lived). Additionally, trends in employment and public sector job losses continue to be a concern. The construction sector is still lagging and is behind the values from a year ago by nearly $5 million. Our continuous monitoring of revenues and expenditures will ensure we remain on track to end the year within budget as planned. Our budget manager has offered an assessment of the contributing factors in his report attached to this newsletter, as well as an updated economic dashboard. (#1 GRT Revenue - April 2013) FEDERAL LOBBYING ACTIVITY PLANNED I will join City Council members on a trip to Washington, D.C. next week in an effort to advance our federal legislative priorities. We will meet with New Mexico s congressional delegation and several agency heads to expand our working relationships. We are seeking capital funding support in areas outside of the formulary allocations made available through various programs and entities. Some of the special capital projects we will seek funding for include: 1. East Mesa Public Safety Complex Financial assistance for specialized apparatus and equipment at the proposed facilities. 2. Dripping Springs Road Expansion Continued emphasis on expanding the transportation infrastructure along Dripping Springs Road to serve the new Centennial High School. 3. Mesilla Valley Regional Dispatch Authority (MVRDA) As Doña Ana County proceeds with plans to relocate the 911 center, the City continues to support its efforts and will seek funding for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. (continued on page 2) (1)

2 City of Las Cruces. ROBERT GARZA. CITY MANAGER. APRIL 19, 2013 FEDERAL LOBBYING ACTIVITY PLANNED (continued from page 1) Additional effort will be targeted to the following issues: 1. Superfund Additional Responsible Parties The state and federal National Guards have been identified as responsible parties and the City is seeking other responsible parties to assist with ongoing operation and maintenance costs for the clean-up facility. 2. Maintaining Tax Exempt Status of Municipal Bonds A primary advantage of issuing municipal bonds is their tax exempt nature, which has helped drive interest rates down, making loans to undertake public improvements more affordable and desirable. Federal legislation has been proposed that could change this long-standing municipal financing tool. 3. HUD Planning Projects A continued discussion about interconnectivity planning along the Camino Real; a joint effort between the City and Doña Ana County. 4. Military Planning and Activities in the Las Cruces Area Review and discuss proposed community impact reports and planning that relate to growth and expansion of military activities in the Las Cruces area including Fort Bliss, White Sands Missile Range and others. 5. Farmers and Crafts Market Promotion The City values the Farmers and Crafts Market and wants to continue to find every avenue to help it grow and expand. This effort is to secure funding for promoting the market more. LAS CRUCES UTILITIES BOARD UPDATE The Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) Board met Thursday, April 12 for its regular board meeting. The administrative report highlighted some ongoing capital projects, and includes an update on customer service, billing and collections. Additional discussion items included water conservation, Lush and Lean educational courses, and the 2nd annual water festival scheduled for April 25 from 9 a.m. 2 p.m. at Young Park. The regular board meeting contained various action items, including a recommendation to approve the LCU FY 13/14 annual budget and capital improvement plan. The LCU board also approved an agreement with NMDOT to have City utility infrastructure replaced as part of the proposed North Main Street Rehabilitation Project. The board also approved a contract for continued professional legal services, as well as a recommendation for appointment of a new LCU board member.

3 City of Las Cruces. ROBERT GARZA. CITY MANAGER. APRIL 19, 2013 COMPOST AND MULCH By Brian Denmark, ACM/COO It s that time of year when residents are eager to get out into their yards and gardens and begin planting and enjoying spring, on non-windy days of course! As citizens begin working in their yards, the issue of mulch and fertilization come to mind. The City can assist with two types of recycled organic materials to enhance growth and protection of plants and vegetation. With that comes homeowner responsibility to ensure proper use of such material for the care of gardens and lawns, and also to mitigate possible negative impacts to neighbors. Organic material available to the public includes composted (green) mulch, which consists of branches, green clippings and leaves that are processed using moisture and heat to break down the material into usable mulch. The mulch can be used as an additive prior to planting gardens and other landscaping. The material can be hand-turned into the soil or rototilled to enhance the organic levels of our sandy soils and to help retain moisture. Additionally, the material can be placed directly on top of existing native soils or landscaped areas as a weed barrier and to assist with water retention. It breaks down over time, enhancing soil conditions. Application of this material is no different than most other mulches in that odor is not a factor. This product can be picked up for free at the old landfill located at 555 Sonoma Ranch Blvd., south of Lohman Avenue. The other product available for free is an organic compound sometimes referred to as biosolids. This EPA Class A compost is available to the public at the Jacob Hands Wastewater Treatment Facility and the City s West Mesa Composting facility. The material goes through and extensive process to meet all EPA 503 regulations, which requires low metal count and testing for fecal coliform prior to use as a compost. This concentrated material contains organics and is very high in iron, making it especially good for lawns and existing plants. The product does have an organic odor and should be used sparingly. A typical application on an established lawn should not exceed 1/8 inch of coverage, and the material needs to be raked into the lawn or soil and then watered. The product will provide needed nutrients and will green up a lawn in a couple of weeks. These products are used by the City s Parks & Recreation Department to benefit the City s parks system (see attachment) and will work just as well on residential lawns, gardens and plants by adding important nutrients and moisture to the soil. The City stresses the importance of proper application of these products to avoid damage to vegetation, and to not negatively impact others and their ability to enjoy their yards.

4 City of Las Cruces. ROBERT GARZA. CITY MANAGER. APRIL 19, 2013 INTERNAL MESSAGING SYSTEM By Mark Winson, ACM/CAO We consistently hear from employees their desire for improved communication and information sharing. While much communication occurs at the department level, administration is constantly seeking ways to improve its ability to relay information to staff. The most common methods are All City s and the employee newsletter, Nuestra Gente. Beginning Monday, April 22, we will initiate yet another form of communication. It s called the Internal Messaging System (IMS). IMS is a method by which the City will utilize Internet Explorer on City computers to deliver messages and other pertinent information. When a user launches Internet Explorer, the default home page will display City related messages and information. The intent of this increase in internal communication is to provide staff with timely, accurate information related to our organization and community. COMMUNITY LIAISON UPDATE We are moving forward with integrating our new community liaison, Jamey Rickman, into City operations and have already made great strides establishing roles and activities for the position to enhance the effectiveness of our efforts. Assistant City Manager/Chief Administrative Officer Mark Winson is working with Ms. Rickman, and provides the following update. Additional guiding materials will be made available to City Council in the next few days. Program Update: The purpose of the community liaison position is to enhance service to citizens through improving communication between the community, City Council and staff. This involves assisting residents by directing their questions and concerns to the proper staff, and ensuring that those issues are addressed. Ms. Rickman joined the City as the community liaison in early March. Since then, she has been busy meeting with all members of City Council and City departments to increase her knowledge base on the services the City provides to our community. Program Focus (next several months): 1. Promote Community and Neighborhood Awareness Cataloguing resources and services the City provides to neighborhoods, and the resources, needs and assets of individual neighborhoods. 2. Promote Community Outreach, Engagement and Education Develop and assist in implementing processes to educate the community on available resources, and to educate City staff on the resources and needs of the community. 3. Promote User Friendly Systems A focused look at how communications and processes can be improved internally, and community-wide. 4. Implement Community (constituent) Input Tracking Streamline and simplify the intake of and response to citizen issues and concerns. (continued on page 5) (4)

A complete agenda with more detailed information is available on the City s website at or El Paso Electric Franchise Agreement Through the use of franchise agreements, the City of Las Cruces allows utility companies to operate within the city s rights-of-way and property to enable customers to receive services at the lowest possible cost. The City has had a franchise agreement with El Paso Electric (EPE) since The last agreement expired April 2009 and the City and EPE have continued to mutually embrace the terms and conditions of the expired agreement on a month-to-month basis. This work session discussion is intended to provide an opportunity to review the franchise agreement discussion with EPE and work toward an updated agreement that serves all parties better than the current provisions. (#5 EPE Franchise Agreement) Budget Work Session City administration and the Office of Management and Budget have been working to develop the City s proposed budget for FY 13/14. This work session item will serve many purposes and will include a full public presentation to cover all of the budget highlights. We will discuss the national economy and impacts to our local government, and assess our local economy and financial situation. We will also provide a summary of the total City budget and summarize noteworthy changes. Additional discussion will include a review of external impacts to our budget on both the revenue and expense sides. This presentation will also serve as a public hearing, so we can hear from the public about any concerns or suggestions they would like to make before the final budget resolution is drafted and presented for action on May 6.

7 M E M O R A N D U M Office of Management and Budget TO: THRU: THRU: FROM: Mayor and City Council Robert L. Garza, City Manager Mark Winson, Assistant City Manager - CAO Dick Gebhart, Budget Manager DATE: April 16, 2013 SUBJECT: Gross Receipts Tax Revenue for the Month of April The Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) remittance from the State for the month of April 2013 totaled $5,859,599 a 1.6% gain from the GRT remittance of April April receipts represent February economic activity. The year-to-date growth rate for the first 10 months of FY13 now stands at 3.9%. April figures reflect a mix of industry specific performances, offering no clear underlying trends. Major developments involved in GRT trends: To underscore the month s mixed performances, the two hold harmless distributions moved in different directions. While Food fell by $45 thousand, Medical gained over $102 thousand. Construction continued its strong fiscal year gains while Retail Trade reverted to a losing pattern. Two other sectors at juxtapositions were Professional Services, up $73 thousand and Health Care, off for the month by over $119 thousand. April Construction figures managed another strong month, growing by over 53% in April. The year to date figure for Construction is now over 19% which maintains Construction s place as the largest positive sector for the fiscal year. Construction has added over $1 million during the first 10 months of FY13 making it by far the largest single contributor to the City s GRT growth for the year. Retail Trade, the City s largest single GRT category, reverted to its negative pattern for FY13. Last month was the first positive month of FY13 but with April s result, this industry has now declined 9 out of 10 months. April s figures slightly eroded the year to date growth rate, dropping it slightly below 4% to 3.9%. The mixed pattern of industry by industry performance reflects the continuation of uncertainty from both businesses and consumers. Two factors will develop over the final two months of the fiscal year. First, the large interstate highway reconstruction projects will be ending as the fiscal year winds down. Secondly, May distributions will reflect March activity. March was the onset of the federal budgetary sequestrations. While March would be too early to see any direct budgetary impacts of sequestration, there could be a negative psychological impact on local consumers given the local dependence on public sector funded jobs.

12 2nd Annual City of Las Cruces Children s Water Festival Thursday, April 25, a.m. to 2 p.m., Young Park, 1905 E. Nevada Ave. The Children s Water Festival is a fun, hands-on environment for third and fourth grade students and teachers from Las Cruces to learn about key water resources subjects. Students and their teachers will participate in many activities, all of which are correlated to New Mexico standards and benchmarks. This year, we have approximately 1,600 students attending from 14 elementary schools and a total of 55 classes. We will have about 150 volunteers and 26 booths. The students had a blast last year with all the fun activities. This year our booths include several departments from the City, county, NMSU, USBR, La Semilla Food Center, Audubon Society, OSE, and US Forestry Service, just to name a few. Transportation for the students was provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation EPSCoR at NMSU. Hope you ll join us!

13 Composted Mulch Breathes Life into Soil By ChrisAnn Johnson and Suzanne Michaels In the past, the Parks and Recreation Department has used the composted mulch in the Parks nursery as a component in the nursery container soil mix, says Les Finley, the Parks and Recreation Department Horticulturist. The mulch, produced by the Utilities Solid Waste Section, is made out of the green waste brought by residents to the Old Foothills Landfill (555 Sonoma Ranch Blvd). Organic materials - leaves, grass clippings, and chipped tree branches are composted by Utilities according to specific guidelines involving process temperatures and moisture. The finished mulch can then be placed on top of the soil and around existing plants, where it helps fertilize, and can reduce weed growth. Additionally, Finley says, Parks has incorporated the composted mulch into the soil for community garden projects, and used it to mulch newly-installed trees in park plantings. The composted mulch is used by government agencies like the Parks Department, New Mexico DOT and is also available free to residents. You can pick it up at the Old Foothills Landfill (call for details.) Currently, the Parks Department is working on a joint project with the City of Las Cruces Street Systems to revegetate the storm drainage pond at Triviz and Nevada, to control erosion. Truckloads of the compost have been transported to the site, where it will be spread and

14 incorporated into the soil prior to planting native grass and wildflowers. The City of Las Cruces is working hard to improve our land and environment, evidenced by the number of environmental benefits to using composted mulch. One example is at the storm drainage pond on the corner of Triviz and Nevada. Through the erosion control, composted mulch improves water quality by reducing the amount of sediment transported into water supplies. Also, it can reduce the use of weed control chemicals and fertilizers. Composted mulch works with fertilizers to make them more effective. It makes for more efficient water use, healthier plant growth, less weed growth, and reduced soil erosion. Soil health is improved because the composted mulch reduces the soil temperature which increases moisture levels. Water is conserved due to a decrease in evaporation from the surface of the soil. Composted mulch does not just affect the health of plants and the quality of the air we breathe, it improves the aesthetics of our environment as well. Grass grows thicker and greener from mulched soil a benefit that is most welcome in a desert land such as ours! You can reach Las Cruces Utilities at from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Las Cruces Utilities provides GAS WATER WASTEWATER SOLID WASTE services to approximately 100,000 Las Cruces residents. CAPTIONS Photo 1: The composted mulch helps conserve water and prevent weed growth, among other things.
