HARRIS-GALVESTON SUBSIDENCE DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 2019 BUDGET APPROVED BY BOARD RESOLUTION 2018-1021 The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District was created in 1975 to provide reasonable groundwater regulation to address concerns related to groundwater use and subsidence. Since that time, the District has taken a reasonable and inclusive approach to groundwater regulation resulting in a dramatic reduction in subsidence rates within the District. Annually, the District prepares a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2019 Budget presented herein will provide for the expected operational needs required to fulfill the District s mission. NOVEMBER 14, 2018 November 14, 2018-1

Harris - Galveston Subsidence District VISION STATEMENT The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District is the premier water management and subsidence authority in Texas. The District plays an integral role in regional water management strategies to insure the long-term viability of all water resources while protecting lives and property within the District from the impacts of subsidence. MISSION STATEMENT The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District protects lives and property within the District from the impacts of future subsidence by providing reasonable groundwater regulation based on the best available science. STRATEGIC GOALS Utilizing the District s mission and strategic vision, the following goals will be the focus of the District through 2025: Conduct research that enhances the understanding and effective management of the Upper Gulf Coast Aquifer System to minimize subsidence in the District Educate the community on the importance of water resources, the occurrence of subsidence in the region, and promoting water conservation Communicate effectively with regional water providers and stakeholders Provide reasonable groundwater regulation in support of the District mission Develop a diverse, highly-motivated, customer service focused organization while maintaining fiscal stability 2-2019 Proposed Operating Budget

Harris - Galveston Subsidence District TRANSMITTAL MEMORANDUM To: From: Board of Directors Michael J. Turco, General Manager Date: November 14, 2018 Subject: 2019 Proposed Operating Budget Enclosed please find the proposed operating budget for the 2019 fiscal year. This budget will provide for the funding of the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD) programs that support our mission to protect lives and property within the District from the impact of future subsidence by providing reasonable groundwater regulation based on the best available science as directed by the Texas Legislature through the HGSD Enabling Act. The Water Conservation Program (WCP) Fund will allow the District to consistently dedicate resources to effectively administer the WCP and identify effective methods to promote water conservation within the District. WCP Fund estimated revenues are based on a conservative estimate of 41,500 students sponsored in the program. Estimated expenses associated with the WCP will be offset by $1.64 million in estimated sponsor revenue resulting in an estimated end of year decrease in the WCP unrestricted fund balance to about $965,000. WCP 2019 expenses include the grade-school education program, continued promotion of the outdoor irrigation campaign, and the development of a water conservation grant program. The Science and Research Fund provides fundamental support to the District s regulatory plan by conducting research that enhances the understanding and effective management of the Upper Gulf Coast Aquifer System to minimize subsidence and ensure the long-term viability of all the water resources within the District. Carried into the science and research budget from 2018 is the investigation of the multi-year permit methodology to provide another administrative tool to manage the uncertainty of alternative water supplies. Funds have also been budgeted for science and research information and education, as it is expected that the changes in political leadership within and adjacent to the district will require more educational outreach. Disincentive fee revenue will increase in 2019 due to the automatic increase in the disincentive fee rate from $8.75 to $8.998 per thousand gallons following the change of the City of Houston index rate in April of 2018. The estimated end of year balance in the fund is expected to decrease to $2.24 million. The proposed General Fund budget includes $3.51 million in revenue and $3.95 million in expenses resulting in a decrease in net income, before depreciation, of about $437,000. The proposed expenses include capital improvements to the building HVAC system and IT infrastructure as wells as increases in personnel costs for succession planning. The update to the regulatory plan is not expected to begin until late 2019 or early 2020. Any expected costs associated with that effort will be included in the 2019 budget once the required technical services are determined. Revenues are expected to remain relatively flat through 2020 when a proposed rate increase will be presented to the Board of Directors for consideration. Future years will include the update of the District Regulatory Plan and capital improvements that may extend through 2023. The estimated cost of the Regulatory Plan update and capital improvements is $1.70 million and $150,000 respectively. November 14, 2018-3

WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM FUND The proposed 2019 Water Conservation Program Fund budget represents the objectives and necessary resources to accomplish the District s strategic mission to promote water conservation and conduct daily operations related to the District s Water Conservation Program. The primary objective of the Water Conservation Program Fund is to provide for the effective administration of the Learning to be Waterwise elementary student education program, the groundwater credit program, and the outdoor irrigation campaign. The Waterwise program provides education to 4th and 5th grade students, in Harris and Galveston Counties on subjects including: water conservation, hydrology, and subsidence. Sponsors are invoiced $36.46 for each sponsored student in the program and in return, a groundwater credit is issued to the sponsor in the amount of 84,000 gallons. Continuing the progress made in 2018, the District Table 1. 2019 estimated Water Conservation Fund revenue and expenses assuming 41,500 students sponsored in the program. 2019 Budget Category Proposed Budget WCP Income 1,640,700 WCP Interest 3,500 WCP Misc.

Based on information received from the Goldwater Project, the Sierra Club, and other conservation focused groups, water conservation efforts focused on outdoor irrigation can have an important impact on total water use. In 2019, the District will communicate with water users about the proper use of water for landscape irrigation and provide tools, such as the watermyyard.org online calculator. The online watermyyard.org calculator utilizes climate data from stations installed by the District since 2016 to provide real-time guidance to willing users on how much water is needed to maintain outdoor landscaping. Building on collaborations developed in 2018, the Water Conservation Program will provide turn-key tools and information to local water providers and end users to inform citizens of best water management practices. District efforts will continue to focus on collaboration with local water authorities, municipal utility districts, and cities to develop a unified approach while leveraging resources. REVENUE and EXPENSES The Water Conservation Program Fund will allow the District to consistently dedicate resources to effectively administer the program and identify other approaches to promote water conservation within the District. WCP estimated revenues are based on a conservative estimate of 41,500 students enrolled in the program. The 2019 WCP budget includes operating expenses and estimated contractual expenses related to the implementation of an effort to provide tools and information to the District regarding the appropriate amounts of water to use for outdoor irrigation. Contractual expenses include the cost of the elementary school education program curriculum and take-home lab kits (WCP Educational Curric-

ulum) as well as other estimated expenses (WCP Contracts) for the continuation of the outdoor irrigation education effort (table 1). SCIENCE AND RESEARCH FUND The Science and Research Fund was created in 2015 to purpose disincentive fee revenue for Science and Research needs in support of the District Regulatory Plan. The Science and Research Fund provides fundamental support to the District s Regulatory Plan by conducting research that enhances the understanding and effective management of the Upper Gulf Coast Aquifer System to minimize subsidence and ensure the long-term viability of all the water resources within the District. Two projects will have been completed in 2018. The Determination of the impact of brackish groundwater development on aquifer compaction and land subsidence was published in the spring of 2018. The estimation of a subsidence neutral yield of a hypothetical aquifer storage and recovery project within the District will be published by the end of 2018. Both projects have resulted in new information that will aid future Boards in developing rules and policies to ensure the responsible utilization of these water management strategies within the District. The Science and Research fund is entirely sourced from disincentive fee revenue which can be variable from year to year (figure 1). Estimated disincentive Table 2. Actual 2017, projected 2018, and proposed 2019 Science and Research Fund revenue and expenses. November 14, 2018-5

fee income for the 2019 fiscal year, based in part on the rolling 5-year average, is $325,000. With the issues of drought, groundwater credits, and exemptions raised by several municipal and regional water providers during recent years, the District began a project in late 2018 to investigate a multi-year permit that can provide flexibility to permitees to deal with short-term interruption of alternative water supply while remaining subsidence neutral. The costs for this investigation is included in the 2019 science and research fund budget. Additionally, the science and research fund is expected to support information dissemination throughout the region. Leadership within and adjacent to the District change considerably and it will be necessary to develop and provide effective methods Figure 1. Disincentive permit fee revenue 2004-2018 with 5 year moving average. to communicate the District mission, the issue of subsidence in the region, and the regional scope of the solution to subsidence employed by the District. The 2019 Science and Research Fund budget does not include costs beyond those committed through board action. The estimated balance of the fund will Table 3. 2018 projected year end total general fund revenue, 2019 proposed general fund revenue budget and variance. 6-2019 Proposed Operating Budget

be about $2.24 million at the end of 2019 (table 2). GENERAL FUND The General Fund provides for the day-to-day operations of the District. The District is not a taxing authority, rather, it receives all income in the General Fund through the issuance of permits based on groundwater allocation and administrative fees. This legislated funding mechanism is significantly impacted by the District s legislative mandate to reduce groundwater withdrawal. Permit fee revenue is the primary component of the overall income to the District. The District s approved regulatory plan calls for a 30 percent reduction of groundwater withdrawal by 2025 in Regulatory Area 3. Over the course of the 2016 fiscal year, the District worked with many of the largest permittees in the District to develop a plan to increase permit fees in an incremental manner to insure the regulatory conversion did not inhibit the District s ability to effectively regulate groundwater within the District. On September 14, 2016, utilizing information compiled by the District Rules Committee and statements provided by stakeholders in a public hearing, the Board of Directors increased the District s regular permit fee from $20 to $22 per million gallons of groundwater allocation, while also increasing other administrative fees of the District, to be implemented in the 2017 fiscal year. Although an incremental progression of regular permit fee rate increases was proposed (a $2 increase in 2017, 2020, and 2023) the Board s action in September of 2016 only authorized the regular permit fee increase in 2017. Any future change in the regular permit fee will require a public hearing and board Table 4. 2018 projected year end total general fund expenses, 2019 proposed general fund expense budget and variance.

The proposed 2019 general fund budget includes $3.51 million in revenue (table 3) and $3.95 million in expenses, an increase of 1.9% and 19.1%, respectively when compared to the 2018 approved budget. The resulting net income before depreciation will decrease the fund balance by an estimated amount of $437,500. REVENUES General fund revenues are derived primarily from the issuance of annual permit fees and application fees. The current (2018) permit fee rate is $22.00 per million gallons of groundwater allocation. Each permittee is required to pay an application fee for new wells to be permitted or to renew a previously permitted well. Emergency application fees are applied at the permittee s request when emergency processing is required due to well failure, loss of access to water, or if a significant economic impact would occur as a result of the normal processing period which can extend to 90 days. Regular permit fees and administrative fees are unchanged from the 2018 fiscal year in the proposed budget. Enforcement of the District Rules and Regulatory Plan generate revenue annually. Any permittee in violation of District Rules and/or the Regulatory Plan are subject to violation fees and may enter into the compromise and settlement process. From 2010- Table 6. Estimated 2019 end of year general fund balance based on the proposed 2019 fiscal year budget. November 14, 2018-9

2017, the average revenue from compromise and settlement action is about $201,000. The District operates several inter-local agreements with nearby Districts. In place since 1989, the largest of these agreements is with the Fort Bend Subsidence District for operation and administrative services. In the 2016 fiscal year, due to changes in their rules and recent conversion requirements, additional staff were added and funded entirely by the Fort Bend Subsidence District. With the addition of the new staff, modifications to the interlocal agreement were made to redistribute the work load between staff solely dedicated to Fort Bend and District staff, resulting in fixed cost and actual cost component to the agreement. The estimated 2019 interlocal agreement is $426,500 which is a 8.0% increase from 2018. It is possible that future agreements may be reduced considerably should the Fort Bend Subsidence District determine that it is in their best interest to operate their District without the aid of HGSD staff. EXPENSES The proposed 2019 General Fund Budget represents the necessary recommendations to support the District s strategic objectives and conduct daily operations. Proposed General Fund operating expenses for 2018 total about $3.95 million, representing a 19.0% increase from the 2018 approved budget. Several key positions at the District will see retirements in the coming years. Over 90 years of District experience will retire from service by 2021.

tutional knowledge to new employees, two new positions have been added to the organization structure (figure 2). Additionally staff have been reorganized and an additional 0.5 FTE has been reassigned to the water conservation program to better account for the level of effort in that program. Contractual expenses include technical and legal services necessary for the operation of the District. Table 7 shows the contracts and expected capital expenses included in the 2019 proposed budget. In 2019, about 51% of General Fund expenses are associated with employee salaries and benefits. Another 27% is proposed to be budgeted for professional and technical contractual services. The remaining categories, which include the Board of Directors, office supplies, building operation, transportation, and capital expenses comprise the remaining 22%. Labor expenses include a 10% increase in total health care costs, and salary increases and promotions based on 3% of total salary. GENERAL FUND FIVE-YEAR PROJECTION The proposed 2019 budget assumes an initial operating reserve of about $4.13 million. Two restricted accounts were established in 2017 to characterize known large future capital and regulatory projects: capital assets and improvements, and regulatory planning. The Capital Assets and Improvements account is utilized to replace fleet vehicles and replace or repair mechanical assets at the District office. The regulatory planning account identifies the estimated cost of the next regulatory plan update which will begin in 2020. In 2019 the accounts have been estimated based on historical costs, resulting in an unrestricted reserve balance of about $2.41 million (table 8). The General Fund operating reserve will fluctuate Table 8. Projected revenue and expenses 2019-2023.

The 2019 disincentive permit fee is calculated as: 2*($3.739+$0.760) = $8.998. Information about the City of Houston water rates can be found at http://www.houstontx.gov/residents/watersewer-rates-2018.pdf. with each annual budget based on the needs of the District. Where there is excess, those funds can be carried over into the next fiscal year to maintain stability in District fees. The 5-year projection shown in table 8, accounts for the current permit fee as well as the proposed permit fee increase in 2020 ($24 per million gallons of allocation) to continue the incremental rise in the permit fee to offset the pending conversion of Regulatory Area 3 in 2025 which will result in an estimated 30% reduction in annual revenue. Revenues are expected to remain relatively flat through 2019, increase in 2020 and remain flat through 2022. Future years will include a regulatory plan update process that will begin in 2020 (represented by the increase in contractual services in 2020 and 2021 in table 8), extend through at least 2022 with a cost of about $1.7 million.
