Meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. II. III. IV. Meeting minutes from October 8, 2014, were approved. Financial report was presented and discussed. IPS Mid-Year Briefing a. Brent briefed the following: historical plan cost analysis, utilization review, budget projections, benchmarking, current plan designs/contributions, healthcare reform a look ahead, 2015/2016 recommendations and 2015/2016 timeline. Regarding the plan cost analysis, it was revealed that during the first quarter of 2015, the City has experienced a significant increase in catastrophic claimants causing plan cost to increase approximately 9% over the past 12 months. It was determined that the City would need to purchase an add-on to the Banner payroll system to support some of the PPACA mandates. It was also decided that an independent survey of the Employee Family Health Center would benefit the City employees/retirees. The suggestion was made to administer a question survey via Survey Monkey which would be managed by IPS. V. Open Session: a. Based on a recent realignment of duties within the City, it became necessary for the EBT to consider amending the City Ordinance dated 9/23/87, section 3.1 Trustees. The standing ordinance appointed trustees from the following positions: City Manager, Chief Accounting Officer, City Attorney and Personnel Officer. With the realignment, this left the former Assistant City Manager/CFO with no position on the board. The proposal was made to amend the ordinance to a 5 member panel of trustees, with the Deputy City Manager also filling a voting role. It was also discussed that a quorum vote would move from 2 to 3. This item needs to be approved by the EBT and then by City Council. VI. Meeting was adjourned at 11:44 a.m. PAGE 1 of 1 PAGES AGENDA NO. 6.b

24 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance adopting the Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2015 and ending September 30, 2016, approving revisions to the FY Budget, and declaring an emergency. INITIATING DEPT: City Manager s Office COMMENTARY: The preliminary budget for the fiscal year was submitted to the City Council on August 11, City Council budget hearings were conducted on August 18 th and public hearings on the property tax rate were conducted on September 1 st and September 8 th. There is also a public hearing on the preliminary budget that is scheduled to be conducted immediately prior to this item. Now, it is time for the City Council to consider adopting the budget and setting out the fiscal appropriations for the ensuing 12 months, beginning October 1, The preliminary budget maintains the same property tax rate as the current year budget, which is $ per $100 of taxable property. It also maintains the same rates for retail water and sewer services, and sanitation collection and disposal services. The budget does incorporate an increase in the monthly storm water utility fee from $3.55 to $5.00 per Single Family Living Unit Equivalent to provide additional revenue for storm water drainage improvements. It also increases wholesale water rates on average by 32% as recommended in the latest wholesale water rate study. Furthermore, the preliminary budget includes adjustments to various fees charged by the City principally in areas of Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, and Health services. A fee ordinance to adjust these rates and charges will be considered elsewhere in this agenda. The preliminary budget also includes pay and benefit adjustments in the following areas: (1) continuation of the City s Merit and Step Plans; and (2) an 8% increase in the City s contribution to the Employee and Retiree Health Insurance Program. The preliminary budget does not include funding for a cost-of-living adjustment to the City s Pay Plans. It should be noted that two attachments to this ordinance (titled Option 1 and Option 2) have been prepared to provide the Council with the ability to consider increasing the property tax rate by cents per $100 of taxable property from $ to $ to provide additional revenue for improvements to the City s Pay Plans and additional contributions to the Employee/Retiree Health Insurance Program. Option 1 (Scenario 7 on slide shows) increases the tax rate to $ , which generates $2,358,700 of additional revenue to provide a cost-of-living adjustment to the Police Pay Plan (9%), Fire Pay Plan (7%), and Non-Civil Service Plans (1%), and an additional $190,000 to the City s Health Insurance Program. PAGE 1 OF 16 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A

25 Option 2 (Scenario 8 on the slide shows) increases the tax rate to $ , which generates $2,358,700 of additional revenue to provide a cost-of-living adjustment to the Police Pay Plan (7%), Fire Pay Plan (6%), and Non-Civil Service Plans (2%), and an additional $313,500 to the City s Health Insurance Program. Should the City Council desire to amend the preliminary budget as outlined in the attachment, it is recommended that a motion be made to insert the language as amended as outlined in Attachment 1 or 2 to this ordinance, where indicated in the ordinance. Approval of the budget ordinance, choosing one of these three options is recommended.

This is the tenth year that a CIP has been prepared for Council consideration. The purpose of a CIP is to focus on the City s capital budgeting needs over a multi-year basis as opposed to one year at a time, and to identify potential funding sources to finance those projects. The Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years beginning in October 2015 and ending September 30, 2020 was submitted to the City Council on August 11, Approval of this ordinance will adopt the Capital Improvement Plan, as presented by the City Manager. It should be noted, however, that Council adoption of this plan does not mean that all of the projects listed in the plan are approved for funding. Only the project costs and associated funding sources identified in the fiscal year of the CIP formulate the approved budget for capital improvement projects. The projects listed in the fiscal year, which total $28,110,359, have approved funding sources and/or the City is firmly committed to undertaking these projects within this fiscal year. The projects listed in the outlying fiscal years are for financial planning purposes only. Attached is a summary of the Five Year Plan.

49 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance adopting fee schedule to be applied to City operations, providing for severability and that such ordinance shall not be codified INITIATING DEPT: Finance/Legal COMMENTARY: During the budget process, the City Council was made aware that the preliminary budget recommends increases to various fees charged by the City in numerous City departments. Approval of this fee ordinance will approve those fee changes recommended in the preliminary budget. The ordinance has been prepared using the tracking changes function so that the City Council can see the current and proposed fees. Most of the fees included in this ordinance are simple adjustments to existing fees that have not been changed in 4 to 5 years and still compare favorably to what other cities charge for similar services. There are a few new fees to note: Section 5.a. (6) establishes inclining fees for animals that have to be quarantined on multiple occasions. Section 5.a. (11) establishes new adoption fees for miscellaneous small animals (birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.), fowl, fish, and small and large livestock animals. Section 8.e. (5) establishes a new fee of $15.00 for 4 hours of reserved private use of a park shelter. The ordinance also increases the long term parking rate at the Regional Airport from $2.00 per stay, (which was charged at the old terminal), to $5.00 per day at the new terminal. This fee is recommended to help generate revenues that are expected to be needed for debt service expenses on the construction of the new terminal. The ordinance also raises the Storm Water Utility Fee from $3.55 to $5.00 per Single Family Living Unit Equivalent to $5.00 to help generate additional funds to address storm drainage improvement projects. The ordinance also increases wholesale water rates an average of 31.75% as per the recommendations of the most recent wholesale water rate study that is required by contract with these customers. From a legal perspective, this fee ordinance will not be codified and will be subject to review and modification during each annual budget process. Instead of listing fees PAGE 1 OF 32 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.D

50 directly in the Code, fees that are established indicate that the amount of the fees will be set by separate ordinance. The attached fee ordinance is that separate ordinance, and will set the fees in a non-codified ordinance passed once per year, with supplements for changed fees between each yearly adoption. It will be published directly to the City s website for easy access by citizens. Approval is recommended.

81 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance amending portions of the Code of Ordinances at Chapter 106, Utilities INITIATING DEPT: Deputy City Manager COMMENTARY: During the process of upgrading the City s Utility Billing System, staff reviewed sections of the Code of Ordinances pertaining to utility billing to ensure that the ordinance reflected current billing practices, and was adjusted to reflect any changes precipitated by differences in the functionality of the new billing system. That review resulted in the need to amend sections of the Code of Ordinances which are outlined in the proposed ordinance. Most of these amendments are simple housekeeping changes to reflect current billing practices. These housekeeping changes are: Allows billing a customer for the deposit in the first month s bill, but removes language that allows for the deposit to be billed over multiple months in equal installments. This change corresponds to current practices and is only used in instances where the customer is in good standing with the Utility Billing Office. No longer requires written notice from the customer to discontinue service. This was an old practice that is no longer used. Raw water meters are billed monthly rather than quarterly. Expands accepted credit cards by adding Discover and American Express, and changes language to reflect the automated teller system (kiosk) and no convenience charges for customers paying by credit card in the office. Allows the Utility Billing Office to reconnect service for customers that were disconnected for non-payment if partial payment is made and a payment arrangement is agreed to. There is one substantive change to this ordinance that has resulted from a change in the new billing software. This change is reflected in Section and deals with the rates for residential sewer charges. The current ordinance states that for residential users, the monthly sewer charge shall be the same, and, shall be based on the average monthly water usage billed in the preceding months of January, February and March except when the established average monthly water use is greater than actual monthly water usage in a billed month, the residential customer will be billed at the actual usage for that month only. The new billing system will not make this adjustment, so it is necessary to eliminate this wording. Residential sewer charges will still be determined based on the three winter month s average water usage, but will always be the same for the remainder of the year, regardless of the amount of water used during a particular month.

For all retail users except residential users, the monthly sewer charge shall be based on the monthly water usage billed in the same month. For each retail residential user, the monthly sewer charge for each billing from April through the following March shall be the same, and, shall be based on the average monthly water usage billed in the preceding months of January, February and March, except when the established average monthly water use is greater than actual monthly water usage in a billed month, the residential customer will be billed at the actual usage for that month only. (b) If a retail water user has a separate meter for water and such meter is classed as a water-only meter, the water metered by such separate meter shall not be included in calculating the monthly sewer charge. (c) All retail users of the sewer system other than residential shall be charged for sewer service on the basis of the total water used; provided, however, that any PAGE 4 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.E

85 commercial/industrial user who uses water as an ingredient in the manufacturing process of a product shall not be required to pay a sewer charge based on the water so incorporated into the product. Any such commercial/industrial user shall be required to show proof of the amount of water used as an ingredient in the manufacturing process. The city reserves the right to conduct such tests as it may deem necessary to determine the amount of wastewater placed into the sanitary sewer by such user. (d) Every retail user (residential and commercial/industrial) of sewer service shall pay a monthly minimum sewer charge for each full billing cycle in which an account is active, as established by separate ordinance. In the first and last billing cycle in which the account is active, the minimum monthly bill shall be prorated for the number of days the account is active; the prorated daily charge shall be based on a 30- day month. In addition to the minimum charge, each retail user shall pay a monthly sewer charge established by separate ordinance to be billed for sewer charges. (e) Sewer charges for retail residential customers with no established average for the month of December, January and February of the preceding year (wintermonths-average) shall be based on the winter-months-average of all city retail residential customers or on the actual monthly consumption rate of the customer, whichever is less until a winter-months-average is established. (f) Customers who have a high winter-months-average due to water leaks within the averaging period may have their winter-months-average adjusted to their previous year's average or if no previous year's average was established, to the current year's city's average, by presenting proof of repair to the utility collection division by May 31 of the calendar year in which the high average is established. (g) The schedule of rates contained in subsections (a) through (f) of this section for retail sewer charges shall apply to retail users located within the city limits; the rates for sanitary sewer service provided to individual retail users outside the city limits shall be twice the rates prescribed in this section. (h) The rate for Sheppard Air Force Base sewer service shall be the same as prescribed for commercial/industrial customers. The minimum monthly bill is the factor "MB" in the contractually agreed formula for computation of the monthly SAFB sewer bill, and the charge per 100 cubic feet of water consumed is the factor "CW" in the same formula. 6.

(b) All water, sewer, sanitation, and stormwater accounts shall be payable monthly and shall carry a due date of approximately 15 days after the billing date.

86 not been paid by five days after the due date, then a late payment fee of five percent will be assessed to the balance of the account. If such bill has not been paid by the billing date of the succeeding month's bill, then the succeeding month's bill will include a delinquent notice which will state that the customer's service will be discontinued without further notice unless payment is made on or before the due date and a service fee established by separate ordinance must be paid before service will be restored.

99 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute documents related to the submission of seven grant applications to Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for recreational improvement projects at Lake Wichita INITIATING DEPT: Parks & Recreation COMMENTARY: Members of the Lake Wichita Revitalization Committee suggested this summer the City could apply to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for grants for recreational improvements to the shore of Lake Wichita. Acknowledging the City does not have the matching funds that are required by the grant program, the LWRC offered to provide private funding to cover the local matching requirement. The LWRC members also offered to substantially write the seven grants with City staff assistance. Seven grant applications are recommended instead of one grant with several locations at Lake Wichita because there is a maximum of up to $500,000 in grant money for each application category. Each of the seven grant applications fall into one of two categories: (1) Boating Access Category, or (2) Outdoor Recreation Category. The projects that are in the Boating Access Category have a 25% matching requirement. The projects that are in the Outdoor Recreation Category have a 50% matching requirement. The total amount for the seven projects is $7,933,546, ($3,153,268 requested from the TP&W, and $4,780,278 of local funding commitment). If funded, projects would have to be completed within four years for the Boating Access grants and three years for the Outdoor Recreation grants. These time periods also define the time the LWRC would have to solicit matching funding for any applications approved by TP&W. Because the applications require the City to state that it has its share of the funding, the LWRC members will offer a level of proof of funds for the City s matching obligation that is satisfactory to the City. Any of the projects that would in some form affect the City s effort to be granted a 404 Permit would be delayed until the 404 Permit is secured. Members of the LWRC will be present at the City Council meeting to make a presentation of their funding plan regarding these matching funds. The individual grant applications, as prioritized by the LWRC are outlined below. Maps are also included for the specific Lake Wichita sites for each grant application.

121 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution determining the public necessity for acquisition of properties for the purpose of completing the Kemp-Monroe Drainage Improvements Project and authorizing purchase or condemnation. Possible action will include the use of the power of imminent domain to condemn the properties. INITIATING DEPT: Public Works/Property Administration COMMENTARY: The purpose of the Kemp-Monroe Drainage Improvements Project is to provide for better drainage in the area immediately surrounding the 2200 block of Monroe Street as indicated on the attached location map. The current outfall for this drainage area is a large box culvert under Kell Blvd. This box culvert is undersized and causing storm water to pond during a 100-year flood event inundating 53 structures. To eliminate this flooding, a regional detention pond is proposed; making acquisition necessary of the following properties: 2213 Monroe Street, 2211 Monroe Street, 2209 Monroe Street, 2207 Monroe Street, 2205 Monroe Street, and 2203 Monroe Street. Three of the six properties currently have structures shown to be inundated during a 100-year flood event. All six properties are shown to have standing water on the property during a 100-year event. The proposed regional detention pond will detain the storm water runoff which will allow the current box culvert to handle the flows. Additionally, large box culverts will be extended from this pond onto Avenues I, J, K and L in order to intercept the flows and carry them to the pond. The Kemp-Monroe Drainage Project is ranked as the number #1 project according to the FNI Drainage 4 Master Plan that was completed in The regional detention pond is part of the first of 3 phases of the project. The project is expected to remove 38 of the 53 structures from being inundated during a 100-year flood event. All structures will be removed from a 10-year flood event. The funding for property acquisition and demolition was approved during the budget approval on September 16, The Phase 1 construction is scheduled to be funded in Fiscal Year 2016 per the 5-year capital improvement plan. Acquisition of the proposed six fee simple properties will enable the City to complete this drainage project improving the overall drainage situation in this area. All properties are occupied residences with four of them being owner occupied and two being rentals. PAGE 1 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.C

122 Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached resolution which will allow Property Administration to proceed with the required acquisitions necessary to complete this project. City staff is authorized to bargain in good faith for the purchase of the property interests with just compensation to be offered to the property owners in an amount determined by an independent certified appraiser to be the fair market value. Failure of both parties to reach a mutual agreement will result in the City proceeding to condemnation. Condemnation will be a last resort after all negotiation efforts have been exhausted.

127 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA September 15, 2015 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for a Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant and determining the public necessity for acquisition of properties for the SAFB Transportation & Perimeter Security Project and authorizing the purchase or condemnation. Possible action will include the consideration of the use of eminent domain to condemn the properties. INITIATING DEPT: City Manager/Property Administration COMMENTARY: City staff is requesting authorization to acquire properties located at 4021, 4027, 4029, and 4101 Burkburnett Road and allow the City Manager to apply for a Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG) for the purpose of eliminating anti-terrorism and force protection vulnerability at Sheppard Air Force Base, to improve and expand the bus transportation services to SAFB personnel, and provide additional visitor parking which will promote commercial activity and quality of life by facilitating base personnel and their family s access to Wichita Falls. The Texas Legislature appropriated $30 million over the next biennium to the Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC). It is anticipated that $15 million will be available during beginning fall 2015 through a competitive Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG). DEAAG is an infrastructure grant program designed to assist defense communities that are responding or recovering from BRAC. Projects can include purchase of DOD property, new construction or rehabilitation of facilities in support of job creating/retention projects, etc. In past years, grants awarded have ranged from $50,000 to $2 million per project and the average award since program inception in 1997 is $800,601. The City will be asking for a grant of up to $5 million. The City of Wichita Falls is eligible to apply for DEAA grant funds and will coordinate the process among Sheppard AFB and Sheppard Military Affairs Committee (SMAC). A key multi-phased main gate project was identified as a top priority by all participating entities which was also a missioncritical recommended implementation strategy outlined in the recently completed SAFB Joint Land Use Study. Application details are pending release from the Office of the Governor but there will be a short window of opportunity to apply for grant assistance during October 2015 and Wichita Falls will be competing with other military installations in Texas to obtain funding assistance. Acquisition of the five fee simple properties will enable the City to assist Sheppard Air Force Base in ensuring a safe perimeter along the main gate entrance. All the properties are commercial but not all are currently occupied. PAGE 1 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.D
