4 June 20, 2012 To the San Antonio River Authority Board of Directors: In accordance with the provisions of Article VI, Section 2, of the Bylaws of the San Antonio River Authority (River Authority), submitted herewith for your consideration is the Annual Budget for fiscal year 2012/13 for the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, For the fiscal year 2012/13, the total budget is $140,026,844, with a General Fund budget of $23,657,013. The proposed fiscal year 2012/13 budget is presented in three books to address the different needs of the reader(s). The first book is the Executive Summaries and Five Year Service & Financial Plan. The second book is the Annual Budget Detail which presents the complete budget for each River Authority fund. The third book consists of the Program Budgets and details the River Authority s active programs and projects. The proposed fiscal year 2012/13 budget supports the mission, goals and objectives of the River Authority s approved strategic plan. Programs, projects and departmental activities and expenditures are linked through the strategic plan to produce desired results in the services provided by the River Authority. Strategic Planning Each year the River Authority s executive and management staff, working under the policy and fiscal guidance of the Board of Directors begins the annual budget process with a review and update to the River Authority s strategic plan. The strategic plan sets both multi-year and annual measurable goals with tangible results. The latest update to that 12 month plan is for fiscal year 2012/13. This updated strategic plan serves as the foundation for the expenditures reflected in the budget and for the results staff will work to accomplish to is within our district, through the projects and efforts in our departments and programs. The annual strategic plan is not an exhaustive list of every project, initiative, and opportunity being worked on by the River Authority, but instead it is a representation of key efforts that we hope are indicative of how the River Authority will advance its mission that year. The multi-year goals within the strategic plan are identified as Key Thrusts and Strategic Opportunities. Currently the thrusts include the following: Generate lasting and recognized improvements to the health of San Antonio River Watershed Enhance community appreciation for and access to the San Antonio River and its tributaries

5 Strengthen, develop and anticipate expertise at all levels and build employee dedication to the River Authority s vision and values Diversify and leverage funding sources Influence, through our expertise, sustainable watershed development, preservation and restoration Expand public and private partnerships. The Strategic Opportunities include Create a community demand for river related recreational opportunities Maximize the revenue generating potential of assets consistent with the River Authority s sustainability goals Expand the River Authority s storm water role Elevate stature of Watershed Master Plans to maximize their utilization. The Board has focused policy decisions on expanding the River Authority s service to meet the needs of the basin, while remaining accountable to the efficient and effective allocation of limited funding resources. Projects and programs are aimed at promoting appreciation for the river and tributaries by enhancing recreational accessibility and enjoyment and restoring degrading ecosystems, expanding the utility system to support economic development and continuing to shape the expertise of the River Authority staff to effectively meet the needs of the communities within the district. The River Authority is also advancing sustainability in the projects and programs it undertakes. The River Authority defines sustainability as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is the shift toward behaviors and practices that are economically viable, environmentally sound, and enhancing quality of life for people. This definition ensures that what is called the triple bottom line is reflected in project components. Sustainable projects are designed to promote lasting solutions which improve the watersheds of the basin and leverage resources toward shared environmental stewardship. Through projects, programs and agency efforts, the River Authority is strategically focused on sustainable solutions that balance the shared demands on the river s resources. Developing sustainable solutions requires a long-term, holistic, watershedbased approach that integrates activities internal and external to the River Authority including the application of science, engineering, land management, education, regulation, and legislation. The River Authority is focused on results and showing progress on our objectives. In that regard every department, every program, and every employee at the River Authority establishes quarterly objectives that are clearly identified and focused toward accomplishing our agency goals and initiatives. These quarterly goals are also known as Key Actions and Accountabilities (KAAs). The KAAs are aligned with the strategic plan and are tracked and reported to the River Authority s Management Team and Board of Directors. Page 2

6 2012/13 Operational Objectives To be Leaders in Watershed Solutions, we believe we must be results oriented. To obtain results and to hold ourselves accountable, several Key Initiatives have been developed for the River Authority as a whole. Each department and program has measurable objectives that align with and support the attainment of these Key Initiatives. The Key Initiatives in 2012/13 are as follows: 1. Implement an action plan for 5% incremental increases in non-tax revenue sources for each fiscal year through 2014/15 2. Target technological and other advancements to improve operational efficiencies, project/resource management and responsiveness 3. Develop an action plan to encourage the growth of the River Authority s Utilities and add 120 connections within our existing wastewater service area 4. Advance the effectiveness of the Bexar Regional Watershed Management partnership and implement Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad Regional Watershed Management 5. Expand our technical capabilities to identify and address pollutants in the watershed 6. Implement strategies that improve and protect environmental flows 7. Develop funding strategy to complete Westside Creeks Restoration project 8. Achieve and apply internal understanding of and expertise in sustainability 9. Adjust public, intergovernmental and educational outreach based on the results of community survey 10. Implement sustainability tools and projects to mitigate threats to the watershed 11. Increase the awareness and utilization of SARAnet (The River Authority s internal website for communication with employees) 12. Update the Nature-based Park Resources Plan with an associated action plan for the River Authority s role in implementation 13. Open all phases of the Mission Reach for public use on or before the summer of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) The River Health Index (RHI) is one of the River Authority s KPIs that will be used to see whether the River Authority s programs and efforts are making demonstrated improvements in the health, safety and sustainability of the San Antonio River and its tributaries. The RHI is a composite score derived by a summation of measured values in the areas of public safety, environmental protection, public awareness, and public access to the San Antonio River and its Page 3

7 tributaries. Ten-year targets are established for identified activities along with the annual projected improvement levels the River Authority seeks to attain each year to reach the 2020 goals. Attainment toward the targets is reported to the Board of Directors in January. Two financial performance measures have also been established to indicate the extent to which the financial resources of the River Authority are being leveraged. Being prudent financial managers is making sure that we generate the maximum amount of service from all available resources. The Financial Leveraging Index (FLI) tracks how the River Authority s direct funding is leveraged with other funding resources to advance basin-wide goals. The Project Leveraging Index (PLI) tracks total value of projects managed by the River Authority on behalf of others that also progress our agency mission and objectives. Projects/Programs Nine programs are assigned to Program Leaders with authority to manage and direct the projects in their portfolio. Program Leaders develop annual objectives and report progress and are accountable to the Executive Staff on achieving programmatic results. The programs as defined below are listed in alphabetical order: Capital Project Implementation Program: Oversees and manages projects and efforts that include capital improvements and are funded by multiple sources, including counties, cities and federal agencies. Program includes 26 projects. Community Outreach and Education Program: Coordinates projects and manages community efforts within the following areas: water and wastewater utilities, floodplain management, parks, water quality, GIS, and stream restoration. The program will oversee and manage projects and efforts that are intended to educate and inform communities about water, the river, and its tributaries within the River Authority s jurisdiction. Program includes three projects. Natural Resource Protection Program: Includes projects designed to identify concerns and communicate information about water quality and aquatic and riparian habitats throughout the river to the bay and estuary so they may be protected and/or restored. The program s 11 projects cover projects that pertain to o Determining Instream flows and fresh water inflows needs o Identifying pollutant sources, monitoring, and tracking water quality trends o Identifying degradation of riverine habitat and biological communities o Characterize current sediment conditions in the watershed. Nature Based Park Program: Established to promote the River Authority s goal to enhance community appreciation for and access to the environmental resources of the San Antonio River and its tributaries and to deliver valued public service. This program oversees and/or coordinates all River Authority parks projects and efforts. Program includes five projects. Page 4

8 Sustainable Watersheds Implementation Program (SWIP): As the River Authority s new sustainability program, the SWIP will seek to maximize the sustainability of the River Authority programs and projects and create visible change in our environment by working on implementation of projects, efforts, and practices that improve our communities sustainability. Highlighted projects will explore the development of storm water best management practices, land use sustainability concepts such as low impact development, sustainable sites and green infrastructure development. The program includes 15 projects. Utilities Program: Department-specific program that manages all of Utilities' water, wastewater, reuse, and collection system-related projects and efforts. Program includes 16 projects. Water Resource Planning and Supply Program: Oversees projects that collaboratively assist cities and utilities within our region to plan, develop, and maintain safe, long-term water supplies for their communities. Program includes three projects. Watershed Maintenance and Dam Safety Program: Oversees projects and efforts involving the floodwater conveyance systems within the River Authority s jurisdiction. The projects include operations and maintenance, rehabilitation of the River Authority dams, and conveyance systems. The goal is to perform these functions in a holistic manner that enhances the riparian environment and the community s appreciation of these natural resources. Watershed Modeling and Planning Program: Oversees, coordinates, and manages projects and efforts within the River Authority s jurisdiction on matters of flood modeling, capital project idea development, and mapping of the watershed. Program includes 10 projects. Fiscal Year 2012/13 Highlighted Projects For the fiscal year 2012/13, several highlighted activities are described below. These activities are focused regionally, expand our expertise, promote appreciation of the river, and advance sustainability and environmental stewardship. Bexar County Flood Alert Project Bexar County Flood Alert System is a project to create a dynamic river and stream models to simulate and map storm events in near-real time. This system will be housed at the River Authority and be accessible to the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in Bexar County and the City of San Antonio via the internet. The models will be derived from the Bexar County DFIRM models. The system will be created for use by the EOC. The Salado Creek system is operational. In the next two years the other major watersheds in Bexar County will be added to the system. Page 5

9 Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) Implementation Having achieved the role of LOMR Delegation for our district, the River Authority will now begin implementing the process by which we serve as FEMA s reviewer of all Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and LOMR submissions. Mission Reach Operations and Management The fiscal year 2012/13 budget will continue to fund operations and maintenance (O&M) on phases 1 and 2 of the Mission Reach Ecosystem System Restoration project. Maintenance activities will begin on portions of phase 3 of the project during the upcoming year. The O&M responsibilities include establishing and maintaining vegetation, providing and promoting public access and recreation, and implementing the River South Area Management Plan s identified deliverables focusing on security, maintenance, education, recreation and concessions, economic development opportunities, neighborhood and infrastructure needs, and marketing all vital as the Mission Reach project, one of the largest urban river restorations in the nation, is opened for public use. Nature-based Park Improvements In the upcoming year, the River Authority will update its Nature-based Park Master Plan to include improvement to River Authority owned and operated parks: Helton-San Antonio River Nature Park in Wilson County, the Loop 1604 River Access Site in Bexar County, the County Road 125 River Park and the Branch River Park in Goliad County. Sustainability and Low Impact Development The River Authority recognizes that significant strides are being made within the basin s public and private sectors in the sustainability areas of clean energy and energy and water conservation. However, successful sustainability programs worldwide also prioritize storm water, surface water quality and holistic land management best management practices (BMPs). In, fiscal year 2012/13 budget the River Authority will work with governmental partners, business and the development community to advance public and private implementation of low impact development (LID), green infrastructure (GI), and other sustainable practices and technologies that focus on land use and storm water management. The River Authority will offer targeted training to public and private audiences; develop datasets to support and incentivize LID and GI; and, importantly, lead by example. The upcoming budget funds a tool to manage LID/Sustainability, and improvements to the Euclid and Guenther properties storm water contribution by using LID and GI modifications designed to decrease the quantity and increase the quality of storm water those properties generate. Page 6

10 In addition, the River Authority will continue to look for partners for funding stream restoration projects as needed which will be direct beneficiaries of the improved land-use and storm water BMPs implemented within drainage areas that feed our restored streams. Watershed Master Plans Watershed Master Plan (WMP) projects will address three major watershed issues: flood control, water quality, and storm water management. WMPs will assess flood damages to structures and flood risk at stream/roadway crossings to identify regional flood control projects to mitigate flood-related losses. WMPs will identify water quality issues through sampling data and modeling efforts, and propose appropriate mitigation projects or strategies. WMPs will also identify strategies such as sustainability practices; LID, natural stream design, BMPs, and mitigation banking which can help mitigate all three major watershed issues. WMP budgeted in fiscal year 2012/13 are the Medina River Holistic Watershed Master Plan, Salado Creek Watershed Master Plan, Upper San Antonio River Holistic Watershed Master Plan, and Leon Creek Holistic Watershed Master Plan. Westside Creeks Restoration Project The River Authority completed the Westside Creeks Restoration Project Conceptual Plan in June The Plan established the community s vision and priorities for flood control, amenities, ecosystem restoration, and recreational improvements along the Alazán, Apache, Martínez, and San Pedro creeks in Bexar County. The River Authority is activity involved in several projects this fiscal year to advance the implementation of the restoration and improvement to these creeks Westside Creeks Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study - In fiscal year 2011/12, the River Authority was selected for a unique pilot project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct an expedited Feasibility Study to determine if the federal government would conclude that the restoration of the Westside Creeks serves as a national priority and would warrant federal investment through the Corps. The River Authority entered into a project partnership agreement with the Corps in March 2012 with a schedule to complete the feasibility study by December WSC San Pedro Creek PER Project The San Pedro Creek preliminary engineering report (PER), funded by Bexar County, will evaluate the engineering feasibility of the potential restoration of the San Pedro Creed from the tunnel inlet to Alamo Street. The PER will also produce concepts for the potential for restoration creek including the addition of access, connectivity and aesthetic improvements to the creek while also exploring ideas for the best way to maintain adequate water depths in the creek. In addition, the PER will investigate the operation of the he flood tunnel system which runs beneath the creek and determine the need and delivery method of reuse water during low flow periods.

11 Sources of Funds The River Authority has entered into a Cooperative Agreement with Bexar County to serve a Project Manager. WSC Elmendorf Lake Park Project and Linear Creekway Trail Development the River Authority will manage for the City of San Antonio the design and construction of $7 million park improvements to Elmendorf Lake Park. Improvements include water quality enhancements, hike and bike trails, and other recreational amenities. The improvements were approved for by the voters of San Antonio in the May 2012 bond election. As part of the agreement with the City, the River Authority will also manage the design and construction of $8 million in hike and bike trails along Alazán, Apache, Martínez and San Pedro Creeks which were approved by the voters in 2010 with the expansion of the City s Linear Creekways Trail program. The extensive portfolio of programs, projects, and efforts requires significant resources to fund. The River Authority s ad valorem operations and maintenance tax funds only about a quarter of the budget. The River Authority continually looks to leverage and optimize existing revenue sources with funds from external sources. The River Authority receives revenues from several sources of funds to support the activities in the Annual Budget. These sources include federal appropriations, interlocal agreements, fund balances, grants and private donations, and the River Authority s ad valorem operations and maintenance tax. Each funding source is discussed below: Federal and State Appropriations The River Authority has taken great advantage of federal appropriations to support its wastewater and flood control functions. There exists a potential to significantly increase funds available from existing and untapped sources of federal and state funds. The Annual Budget does not reflect an increased level of funding from these sources significantly affecting the bottom line in the short term, but it is believed the increases in planning activity proposed will increase the flow of federal and state funds for waterrelated programs and projects in the district. Regionalization of public functions and services fosters increased levels of federal and state participation. For example, in the State s grant program for recreation facilities, the region-wide recreation plan proposed will improve evaluation scores and thereby the chances of individual city or county recreation projects to be funded by the state program. In addition, entities such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), and others, desire to develop and implement water-related programs with regional entities, particularly entities with jurisdiction over river basins and associated watersheds. These entities realize that the hydrology and hydraulics of water on a watershed basis are more significant in water issues than the boundaries of local jurisdictions. Page 8

12 In 2011/12, as a Coordinating Technical Partner (CTP) with FEMA, the River Authority was approved for both Letter of Map Revisions (LOMR) Delegation and Risk MAP product development. As FEMA s LOMR Delegate, the River Authority will review and make recommendations regarding changes to the federal flood maps that might be proposed by developers and be paid by FEMA for those services. The vision for Risk MAP is to deliver quality data that increases public awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property. Risk MAP builds on flood hazard data and maps produced during the Flood Map Modernization (Map Mod) program. The River Authority has been awarded a grant to develop the Risk MAP tools and data for our four counties. Interlocal Agreements The River Authority prides itself on partnerships. The River Authority has formalized these partnerships at the federal, state, and local levels through various contracts and interlocal agreements. Through partnerships the River Authority is able to leverage its expertise to design and construct water related projects through arrangements that are mutually beneficial to the participating public agencies. These agreements continue to be an important revenue source for the River Authority. The River Authority has executed interlocal agreements with the City of San Antonio and Bexar County, for example, whereby the River Authority provides certain technical services and project management for flood control, river improvement and water quality projects. Other examples include the Regional Water Resources Development Group (RWRDG), i.e. the joint effort to buy Edwards Aquifer water rights administered by the River Authority, and the SB-1 Regional Planning (Region L) process, both of which are funded by the program participants. Fund Balances. The River Authority has adopted a fund balance policy which describes the protocol for use of the fund balances including maintenance of reserves to protect the River Authority s financing capability and to provide operating reserves. The Annual Budget recommends that the fund balances be used to fund capital projects rather than operations and maintenance activities. Two years ago the River Authority expanded operations and maintenance activity on the Museum Reach, Eagleland and Mission Reach of the San Antonio River Improvements Project, the board established an Unassigned-Operating Reserve Account portion of fund balance to offset unexpected costs associated with project maintenance. Grants and Private Donations During the past three fiscal years, the River Authority has increased its application for and receipt of grant funding and will continue to seek this source of funding for activities consistent with the Annual Budget. In addition, many charitable trusts and other sources of private funds have recreation-related or environmental protection, enhancement, and education activities as key elements. The River Authority works closely with the San Page 9

13 Antonio River Foundation to direct private funding toward projects and activities that advance our mission and stewardship of the resources of the San Antonio River. The improved planning tools and products, e.g. master plans thatt will be developed according to the Annual Budget, will improve the River Authority s opportunities to access private donations. Maintenance e and Operations Tax Many of the River Authority s activities, such as flood control and water quality protection, do not have revenue sources and aree typically supported as a governmental function by an ad valorem tax. The River Authority is authorized to collect an ad valorem tax at a maximumm of $0.02 per $100 of assessed value. The tax may be used for operations and maintenance activities, which include all activities other than direct capital investment in infrastructure. The fiscal year 2012/13 budget is based on a tax rate of $ which is the same rate assessed in fiscal year 2011/12. The final tax rate calculation will be prepared when the certified tax rolls are received by the River Authority in late July. The Board of Directors will hold a public hearing and vote on the tax rate in late August or early September. In all that the River Authority does, we strive to providee valued public service, to be accountable to our constituents, and to be good fiscal stewards of the public resources with which we are entrusted. The budget, programs, projects and activities presented in thesee documents are providedd to promote quality service and responsiveness to the needs of the community we serve.
