INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR# 2004-085
.~ Date:
-r Subject:
August 18, 2004
Briefing on the Management of Operations Staffing for the Fire
Department
The purpose of this report is to apprise the Mayor and Council of the Fire Department's
staffing objectives and methodology. The Fire Department provides 24 hour a day fire,
rescue and EMS ambulance response to the citizens and visitors of North Richland Hills each
and every day of the year.
Backqround
The fire, rescue and EMS services are accomplished by well trained Firefighter/Paramedics
responding out of four fire stations strategically located around our City to minimize response
times. The Firefighters are assigned to one of three 24 hour shifts. These firefighters
respond on two ambulances, three engines, one quint (running as an engine), one aerial
ladder and one Battalion Chief/Shift Commander. Staffing these emergency response
apparatus in the most efficient and effective way possible is a key objective of the Fire
Department. Another objective is to specify "response sets" for the various types of
emergencies to which we respond that enable these Firefighters to accomplish their duties in
a safe and effective manner. A "response set" is a predetermined list of apparatus and
personnel that will be dispatched to an emergency based on the nature of that particular
emergency.
The Fire Department is authorized 72 positions, 24 per shift, in the Operations Division to
staff the emergency response apparatus. "Attachment 1" illustrates the staffing
authorizations and assignments. The minimum daily staffing is 19 personnel. The difference
between the authorized daily staffing and the minimum daily staffing is 5 personnel. Five
personnel are allowed to schedule leave time (vacation and holiday) each day so that the
staffing level does not fall below the minimum of 19. Once the daily staffing level falls below
19, overtime replacements are hired to staff those vacant positions.
Scheduled leave time is absorbed by the five positions authorized over the minimum staffing
of 19. This leave time is pre-scheduled at the beginning of each year. Up to five personnel
per day are allowed to schedule leave time on the calendar for the following year. With the
current personnel's annual leave accruals, we have to have four personnel scheduled off
each and every day of the year to use the leave these personnel have authorized. Currently
we do not force assign scheduled leave time for those calendar days that do not have at least
four personnel scheduled for leave, so many days there are fewer than four personnel off on
scheduled leave.
Personnel who use unscheduled leave time (sick, injury, workers compensation, etc.) are
generally replaced by hiring overtime personnel if their absence drops the minimum daily
staffing below 19. Currently, however, we have three vacancies, so we only have 23
available per shift. We are in the final stages of hiring for the three vacancies, and anticipate
ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
them to come to work by September 1 st. Each day that the calendar has five personnel
already scheduled off results in an overtime replacement for that fifth position, plus any
replacements needed for personnel calling in sick or off on injury leave, etc. This last year
saw several of our Fire Department personnel on long term sick or injury leave that
contributed to an accelerated use of our budgeted overtime.
Current StaffinQ Status
The Fire Department monitors its budget closely and when it became apparent that the
overtime budget would be exceeded at the rate it was being used, the daily minimum staffing
was reduced in order to curtail the overtime expenditures. "Attachment 2" is the
memorandum that reduced the daily staffing threshold to 17 and initiated a change in the
standard response sets to offset this reduction. This action resulted in an overtime avoidance
of some 930 hours at a cost savings of nearly $24,000.00 during the month of July as
compared to the month of June. July is historically a month where our calendar is filled with
prescheduled vacation leave. Some of the excess overtime costs will be offset by savings in
the regular salary accounts due to the aforementioned vacant positions.
State Guidelines
',-
The State of Texas passed Senate Bill 382 with an effective date of September 1,2001. This
bill was passed in response to a task force report on fire safety compiled after a church fire
incident that occurred in Lake Worth, Texas. That fire resulted in the tragic deaths of three
firefighters. This bill puts in place several safety standards that comply with safety standards
set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). SB 382 does not mandate per truck
staffinq, nor does the NFPA 1710 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations by Career Fire Departments that is referenced in SB 382.
SB 382 does require that career fire departments develop a standard operatinq procedure
that specifies an adequate number of personnel to safely conduct emerqencv scene
operations. It requires that the procedure limit operations to those that can be safely
performed by the personnel available at the scene. It authorized the use of the minimum
standards established by the NFPA (NFPA 171 O) to be used as quidelines in developing the
procedures for firefighters operating at emergency incidents. Further, SB 382 requires that
the SOPs for structure fires complv with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's
Final Rule 29 CFR 1910.134 (g) (4), Procedures for interior structural firefighting. This is also
known as the "two in, two out" rule. The North Richland Hills Fire Department developed the
SOPs called for in SB 382 and implemented those prior to the final effective date of this
legislation. The Fire Department routinely monitors and modifies basic response sets called
out in these SOPs to ensure we continue to respond and assemble adequate numbers of
personnel to safely conduct emergency scene operations as required by SB 382. Besides
the resources specified in our standard response sets, the Incident Commander alwavs has
the authority to call in additional resources as needed to mitigate the emergency in a safe
manner.
Other provisions of SB 382 include: requirements for career fire departments to provide and
maintain a complete ensemble of appropriate protective clothing that meets the minimum
standards of the NFPA or its successor for each of its fire protection personnel; to provide,
maintain, inspect and test self contained breathing apparatus; to provide Personal Alert
Safety Systems (PASS devices) for each firefighter; to develop and maintain an incident
management system that includes a written SOP to manage emergency incidents; and, to
develop and utilize a Personnel Accountability System for a rapid accounting of all personnel
at an emergency incident. The North Richland Hills Fire Department satisfies all of these
requ irements.
The Texas Department of Health Services does specify staffing requirements in their EMS
Provider Compliance Guidelines. Those guidelines require that an MICU be staffed with at
least one Paramedic and one EMT (or above). The North Richland Hills Fire Department
ambulances meet this requirement.
Mutual Aid Use
The North Richland Hills Fire Department maintains mutual and automatic aid agreements
with our neighboring Cities. We regularly request mutual aid responses from these Cities and
frequently reciprocate by responding our apparatus to calls for assistance in those Cities as
well. From October 2003 to July 2004 inclusive, we have requested mutual aid some 379
times. The largest share of those requests was for ambulances at 235 times. Firefighting
vehicles were requested 144 times; 68 times for engines, 74 times for quints, and 2 times for
brush rigs. During that same time period, we experienced 13 structure fire calls where our
Truck 224 was not in service. In order to provide Truck company duties on those 13 calls we
reassigned those duties as needed to additional responding fire apparatus. NRH FD Quint
223 filled those duties 4 times, Richland Hills Quint 291 was used 5 times, a Hurst Engine
was used 3 times and a Keller Engine was used once. In all of the above referenced
instances an appropriate number of apparatus carrying an adequate number of personnel
were dispatched to safely conduct the emergency scene operations indicated by the call. !n
none of these instances was the response time for our first respondinq apparatus delaved.
Conclusion
The Fire Department will continue to deploy its human and physical resources in the most
efficient and effective manner possible to protect the lives and property of the citizens we
serve. We will also continue to monitor and modify our standard response sets to ensure we
send an adequate number of personnel to safely conduct emergency scene operations. The
safety of our responding Firefighters is of paramount importance to the Fire Department.
We will look forward to a thorough presentation of the Fire Department's Operations and
Management of Services at the August 23rd Pre-Council work session.

Re: Overtime Use
In reviewing this year's budget, it has come to our attention that we are getting dangerously
close to exhausting our overtime funds. It is imperative that we take action now to prevent
this account from going into the red before years end. We are taking steps to fill the current
vacancies as well as anticipated vacancies. This process will take some time, and the new
personnel will have to go through orientation before they will help our staffing level.
We will need the help and support of all personnel in accomplishing these steps if we are to
prevent taking more drastic actions. The following steps are effective immediately:
1. Maximum personnel allowed off on holiday or vacation is five including any
personnel vacancies. This means if your shift is short 1 person, then only four more
can get off. If this creates any problems due to pre-scheduled time off, contact this
office. Please anticipate any problems with your current time off schedules.
2. Bruce Nguyen can be counted as a Fire Fighter/EMT. We will continue his
Paramedic training when we have sufficient personnel on shift to do so.
3. If the staffing level drops below 18, including the B/C, Truck 224 will be taken out of
service and any additional personnel moved to E224. If an aerial apparatus is
required, request a mutual aid company as early as possible. Also, consider that
administrative staff can possibly deliver the truck during regular business hours.
4. Staffing level shall not drop below 17 personnel, including the B/C. Overtime will
have to be utilized at this point.
When the Budget situation becomes less critical, we will dispense with these actions. But if
these steps do not alleviate the over expenditure, further steps will have to be taken.
Thanks for your cooperation.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 2004-086
4r... Date: 8/23/2004
Subject: Special Presentation - Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for
Fiscal Year 2003/2004
The City of North Richland Hills has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its
Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2003. The Budget Award is a prestigious
national award presented by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
Canada (GFOA) recognizing conformance with the highest standards 'for preparation of exemplary
budget documents. The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is valid for a period of one year
only. The City has received a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the last fourteen years.
This year, however, is a special year as it represents the City's first receipt of the Budget Award with
"special recognition." Special recognition was awarded for Budget & Research's "outstanding"
presentation of capital information.
Governments participating in the program submit copies of their approved budget documents for
review by an impartial panel of budget experts. Each budget document is evaluated using a
comprehensive checklist with four major categories. These major functions include the document as
a policy document, an operations guide, a financial plan and a communications device.
The focus of the Budget Review program is on the management elements of the budget document
and its effectiveness in a policy and public environment. Its emphasis on Performance Measures
brings accountability to government through documentation and further assists City Council and
Management through long range policy planning for the City's future. It is generally found that
"- jurisdictions whose budget documents are properly prepared tend to avoid many of the common
weaknesses in governmental financial management. The program encourages participants to
address the needs of elected officials, the public and interested parties in financial policies of the
City, and encourages guidance in operations improvements. It helps avoid the tendency of budgets
to bècome static, direction less financial documents. A good budget document also provides an
excellent opportunity to communicate with the public, the financial community and the press. It
reinforces the needs of non-technicians to obtain a general understanding of governmental finance
through the budget document.
Ms. Beverly Queen, Director of Administrative Services, City of Bedford, and current Region 8
Director and co-chair of GFOA's Committee on Professional Development, will be at the Council
meeting to present the Distinguished Budget Award to the City. No action is needed by Council, but
we do commend Clay Caruthers, Budget & Research Manager, and Margaret Ragus, Budget Analyst
for their professional efforts in the City's receiving this prestigious award for the fourteenth
consecutive year. This award also represents the efforts of many others as budget preparation is a
total team effort starting with the leadership of City Council and Management, followed by the hard
work of each City Department.

explained the largest adjustment in the revised budget was to the legal department and that
Council Budget Work Session Minutes
July 30-31,2004

the adjustment was needed because of litigation and settlement costs paid this year. Ms.
Bostic explained general legal costs are easy to estimate while litigation and settlement costs
cannot be anticipated. The adjustment was necessary to budget for current year litigation and
settlement expenses paid this year. Council was advised also that Birdville Independent
School District has agreed to reimburse the City for a portion of the cost of the school resource
officers. Ms. Bostic reviewed the status of the Reserve for Capital Improvements.
Mr. Cunningham presented a PowerPoint presentation and discussed in detail the general
fund service changes. Changes discussed were:
· Reduction of hours at the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center
· Restructuring Police Records hours of operation from 24/7 to regular business hours
· Reduce funding to add materials to the Library collection
· Staff reorganization in Fire Department to allow for the elimination of a less critical
position
· Special events and programs - continue funding major special events ("Night of Holiday
Magic") and offset expenditures for the annual Fire Department Open House and Goof
Troop program through sponsorships, donations and volunteers; reduction of
Household Hazardous Waste Collection program
· Public Information changes - reduce expenditures for printing and informational items
by printing city newsletter three times annually instead of four times annually, reducing
budget for city calendar and elimination of employee newsletter
. Reduce non-mandatory training
· Enhancement to Emergency Medical Services - fund staffing for a third front line
ambulance.
Council began a review of the schedules of the General Fund Revenues and Expenditures
Summaries with Staff responding to questions.
Councilwoman Bielik asked for Staff to explain the increase to the legal budget. Staff
explained that expenses for general legal services could be planned. Litigation costs
and settlements are based on information provided by the Attorney. Legal expenses
were increased to bring it in line with settlements that had been made during the current
year and anticipated litigation and settlement expenses forecasted by the Attorney.
Staff was asked to look at eliminating the City calendar for a couple of years and
maintain the city newsletter. After discussion, the consensus of the Council was to
delete the calendar from the budget, maintain the three city newsletters and increase
information provided to citizens in water bills and add a stamp to the back of water bill
envelope advising of important additional information enclosed.
There was discussion on the need to replace the cameras in the Council Chambers.
Council was advised of plans for the Cable Company to assist in the replacement of the
cameras.
Council discussed the video recording of the Pre-Council meetings and cost savings if
the program was eliminated. The consensus of the Council was to eliminate the video
recording of Pre-Council meetings. The audio recordings of the meetings will continue.

Assistant Parks Director Bill Thornton advised council change order number 2 is a
result of a revision to the approved development plan for Tommy and Sue Brown Park.
The revision involves a 1.5 acre tract located at the southwest corner. The tract of land
was formerly reserved for Fire Station 1, which has been relocated. The southern
portion of the park if approved will be redesigned to incorporate park amenities. Mr.
Thornton advised council staff anticipates a November 8, 2004 completion date, which
includes a 30-day extension requested by contractor. The original construction, which
includes both Tommy and Sue Brown Park and Liberty Park, is $895,500. A previous
change order (#1) in the amount of $151,132 for a list of alternates was approved by
council. Change order #2 in the amount of $70,854 will bring revised construction cost
to $1,117,486.00.
Councilman Lewis asked if the fresbie golf disc catcher helped the city qualify for the
grant and if so, would it prelude the city from considering it part of a dog park.
Mr. Thornton advised grant guidelines stipulate that any amenities included must stay at
the park. If amenities were ever to be removed they must be replaced with other
amenities.
Councilwoman Bielik asked where public parking was available for the park.
Mr. Thornton advised there would be on street parking.
3. IR 2004-081 Update of Trail Svstem

Trail, Little Bear Creek Trail, Calloway Branch Trail, North Hills Mall Trail and North
Electric Trail.
4. IR 2004-082 Status of Storm Water Management Plan
Public Works Director Mike Curtis advised council 1987 amendments to the Clean
Water Act mandated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop a tiered
implementation strategy for the NPDES Storm Water Permit/Program. The first phase
was implemented several years ago and impacted cities with populations greater than
100,000. The second phase of the tiered approach, Storm Water Permit Phase \I, was
published in the Federal Register on December 8, 1999. Phase \I requires all cities with
a population under 100,000 to obtain a NPDES permit for storm water discharge for:
construction activity disturbing one acre or more of land (Le., small construction

activities and municipal storm sewer systems. The permit for construction activities
went into effect March 2003 and the permit is submitted to State by the developer. The
City's engineering consultant (or contractor) submits permit to the State for CIP
projects. The permit for the municipal storm sewer system requires the City establish a
Storm Water Management Program that meets the requirements of six (6) control
measures and they are: public education, public involvement and participation, elicit
discharge detection and elimination, construction site controls, post construction
controls and pollution prevention. All cities that fall under Phase II requirements will
have 90 days from the time the State finalizes the requirements to submit their permit
along with their Storm Water Management Program to the State. Staff does not expect
the permit revision to have a significant on the City's draft Storm Water Management
Policy previously submitted for council's consideration.

Mr. Green advised council this request is a ten-acre plat and staff has preliminary plat
that was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Green advised the CS
Community Service District is designed to be a basic office/retail type use that is
primarily for the service of entire community. The Planning and Zoning Commission

shrubs.

GN 2004-067 APPROVE CHANGE ORDER #2 TO THE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT WITH DEAN CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $70,854 FOR THE
TOMMY AND SUE BROWN PARK PROJECT, AMEND THE CIP BUDGET -
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-049
APPROVED
Assistant Park and Recreation Director Bill Thornton advised the Tommy and Sue
Brown Park is being constructed as part of the Neighborhood Park Initiative. Originally
there was a 1.5 acre tract of land located in the southwest corner of the park which was
reserved for the construction of a fire station. The fire station was relocated and the
section of the park was redesigned to incorporate the parcel into the park. Staff is
recommending council approve change order #2 in the amount of $70,854. The
original construction agreement in the amount of $895,000 was approved by council on
January 26, 2004, which included construction of both Tommy & Sue Brown Park and
Liberty Park. If the change order is approved the contractor has requested a 30-day
extension to contract to complete additional work. Mr. Thornton advised funding is
available from the Parks and Recreation Facilities Development fund to completely fund
Change Order #2.
City Council Minutes
August 09, 2004
Page 9
Councilwoman Bielik said item was not in the current or proposed budget.
Councilwoman Bielik believed this will put an additional expense in the current fiscal
year's budget and did not recall seeing the available funds.
Mr. Thornton advised there is available money in the undesignated funds in the Parks
and Facilities Development Corporation budget from the % cent sales tax budget.
Councilwoman Cox addressed the parking for the neighborhood park. Councilwoman
Cox is aware of the difference between community parks and neighborhood parks, but
does not necessarily agree with the concept of the neighborhood park. Councilwoman
Cox said neighborhood parks are not easily accessed by the public. Councilwoman
Cox wanted council and Parks and Recreation to know that she does not agree with the
concept of neighborhood parks and does not necessarily agree with the change order.
Councilwoman Cox asked if it was totally impossible to have parking at neighborhood
parks.
Mr. Thornton advised the Park System Master Plan designates different parks and
classifications by their use. The neighborhood park designation is designed for those
parks that are intentionally designed to be more central to and serve a neighborhood
that is a walk to destination. However, that does not prevent people from traveling to
use facilities. Currently the city has 26-29 different neighborhood park zones
throughout the city. The Park System Master Plan geographically shows distribution of
neighborhood parks throughout the city. Under full development the city will be
providing neighborhood parks that would be in close proximity in all residential
communities.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Thornton to address the trail system that ties into the
neighborhood parks.
Mr. Thornton advised the trail connection at Tommy and Sue Brown Park leads
immediately to the Little Bear Creek trail. The Little Bear Creek trail is among a
complete network of off-road bike trails throughout the city that all link together to
provide a complete network of trails so users can access other parks and facilities
throughout the city.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Thornton to address how the park is being funded.
Mr. Thornton advised staff worked with the developer for the donation of the land within
the Little Bear Creek area. The city used the value of the land and submitted a grant
application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to be able to design
and construct the park using the value of the land as the City's matching share. The
program is a 50/50 matching program. If the city can come up with value of land the
TPWD will match that amount in improvements and provide that as a reimbursement
grant to the city. Staff submitted the grant application and was successful in being
City Council Minutes
August09,2004
Page 10
awarded the grant. The city is constructing the park at a very nominal expense to the
citizens of North Richland Hills. The city was awarded a $363,000 grant for the project.
Councilman Welch asked if there is a way to amend the city's grant from the State.
Mr. Thornton advised the grant could be amended as long as the amenities do not
change and are not being taken out of the project.
Mayor Trevino asked Budget Manager Clay Caruthers to review funding for the project.
Mr. Caruthers advised the Tommy and Sue Brown Park was included in the budget
information received by council. Mr. Caruthers advised the project was either shown as
a continuing project or an active project staff anticipated being complete by 2004. Staff
briefly touched on it when the fire station project was discussed. Mr. Caruthers advised
any council action revisions that take place between the work session and the adoption
of the budget will be reflected in the budget as it is proposed the night for approval. Mr.
Caruthers advised no other changes would be made, unless something is brought
forward on the Capital Budget between the work session and the official adoption. Mr.
Caruthers advised staff tries to communicate everything that is anticipated at the work
session.
Councilwoman Bielik stated that the project itself was in the paperwork for the work
session, but did not recall seeing the change order amount.
Mr. Caruthers advised the dollar amount for the change order was not included, but that
is why it is necessary for this official action to be taken tonight so council is aware of the
change order.
Councilwoman Bielik asked if it was a rush that it has to be put in the 2003/2004 fiscal
budget as opposed to carrying it over to the 2004/2005 budget.
Mr. Thornton advised contractor has made considerable progress and is at a point to
continue or stop construction. Staff would like contractor to begin construction with
Change Order #2 so project would not have to be put on hold.

Department: Planning Department Council Meeting Date: 8/19/04
Subject: Consideration of a ReQuest from Dennis þenson to Approve Agenda Number: AP 2004-01
the Amended Plat of Lots 2-A-R & 2-B-R, Block 1 Antinone Addition Being a Replat of Lot 2,
Block 1, Antinone Addition (Located at 7100 Mid Cities Boulevard - 1.096 acres).
Case Summary: The final plat for this addition (ref. PS 2004-10) was approved by the City
Council on May 10th of this year. After the plat had been filed with Tarrant County, a mistake
was discovered concerning the proper owner signatures on the plat. The filed plat listed
Dennis and Lisa Denson as the property owners whereas the plat should have read Presto
Printing instead. The sole purpose of this amended plat is to correct the property owner
siqnatures.
Article 8, Section 800 of the City of North Richland Hills Subdivision Regulations requires all
amended plats to be approved by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council. The section does not provide for any administrative authority on behalf of the staff to
circumvent this process. Due to the nature of the applicant's request and impending contracts
for sale, staff is processing this request as quickly as possible.
:
,-.
Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed this amended plat and
has determined that it complies with both the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Attached is
a memo from the Public Works Department stating that all of staffs comments have been
satisfied.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: In order to expedite this request
for the applicant, staff has submitted the request to the first possible Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council meetings. To that end this request is not scheduled to be
considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission until August 19th. Because this case
report is being written prior to the Commission's consideration of the request, staff does not
have a recommendation from the Commission. Staff will provide the Council with an update
prior to the consideration of this request.
Recommendation: To Approve AP 2004-01 the Amended Plat of Lots 2-A-R & 2-B-R,
Block 1 Antinone Addition.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM
NRH
Office of the City Manager
('TTY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
August 23, 2004
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills, Texas
Preparing the proposed budget for fiscal year 2004/2005 has proven to be one of the most
challenging budget planning processes in recent history. Tex'as continues to have
unemployment rates higher than the national average with only modest increases in personal
income, and the local economy continues to be negatively impacted by our close link to the
travel and tourism industry, which is adversely impacted by rising fuel costs and continued
threats of terrorism. In addition, we continue to see competing businesses open in
neighboring cities, and State and Federal legislation continues to cast a cloud of uncertainty
over future budget planning. As a result, the local economy is not experiencing the recovery
that is being reported at the national level. However, we expect the slow local economy to be
offset somewhat in the coming fiscal year by the completion of construction on Rufe Snow
Drive, new businesses coming into the City, and the addition of wine S?les.
Even with the negative economic forces, North Richland Hills continues to have a strong
property tax base, healthy reserves, innovative leadership and excellent City services. The
North Richland Hills City Council has made a commitment to excellence through strategic
planning efforts and establishing overall goals for the City. Because of this visionary
leadership, the City of North Richland Hills continues to be able to provide quality services to
our citizens and customers. The City Council's foresight and vision provides guidelines to
insure that North Richland Hills continues to maintain a sound budget.
Direction: Goals and Values
The goals established by the City Council for the City of North Richland Hills serve as a guide
for our City in planning for the future. This year these goals, as outlined below, were
especially significant in preparing our work plan for the coming year as it is projected that
sales tax revenues will increase only slightly, returning to 2001/2002 levels, and interest
income has decreased by approximately $3.2 million in all funds over the past four (4) years
giving the City fewer resources with which to provide services:
1. SAFETY AND SECURITY - to provide top quality Police, Fire and Emergency
Medical Services; to provide improved facilities for enhanced services to our
community; to provide safe streets and neighborhoods; strive to be the safest city
in Tarrant County; and to insure the City is prepared for major emergency
situations, including Homeland Security or potential disasters.
1
L.r~op H20 (P~ O:i... ;'
F) bc'-; ".,~:~{\3D'S~¡ ,~ !'-JDrth pjcj danc1
2. QUALITY DEVELOPMENT - strive to insure a stronger local economy and retail
base; to provide quality City facilities and infrastructure; to provide a more
streamlined permit process; to seek opportunities for protecting the character of
North Richland Hills - policies, standards, and plans; and to create enforceable
development standards and ordinances.
3. QUALITY REDEVELOPMENT & REINVESTMENT - strive to improve the quality
of major corridors; to improve· the quality of older neighborhoods; to insure that
property owners are taking responsibility for their buildings, homes, and property;
to improve City infrastructure in older areas; to insure that people and companies
will want to invest and reinvest in North Richland Hills; to provide a stronger family
entertainment area.
4. FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE CITY GOVERNMENT - strive to maintain a
financially sound debt ratio with a reasonable debt structure; to use a "Pay As You
Go" approach to financing when possible; to strive for an expanded City revenue
base; and to hold the line on the property tax rate.
5. QUALITY OF LIFE AMENITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY - strive to provide well
maintained City parks, library, trails, recreation center and senior centers; to
provide more parks for the.. neighborhoods; to provide more family oriented
facilities, programs and services; to expand cultural programs and activities,
including public arts; to provide for the preservation of our history and heritage.
6. EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM - strive to expand "mass"
transportation opportunities; to achieve better air quality; to provide improved traffic
flow; to improve the quality of neighborhood streets.
As a supplement to these Goals, the City Council established a set of core organizational
values and assigned a specific meaning to each value to inspire City employees to strive
toward excellence in the provision of services to our citizens. These core values are:
RESPECT
· Treating others in a courteous, fair and equitable manner
· Valuing differences: points of view, style
· Honoring the organization's chain of command
· Acknowledging successes and the contribution of others
· Following up with feedback
SERVICE
· Providing services to our community and others
· Solving problems
· Helping the customer to understand
· Sensitive to the needs and feelings of others
· Taking action, providing a timely response
11
PRODUCTIVITY
· Producing results, completing projects - on time, at or under budget
· Planning your work activities to achieve goals
· Meeting or exceeding job standards and expectations
· Look for ways to be more productive while being cost effective
INTEGRITY
· Hånest communication
· Being trustworthy
· Following through on your commitment
· Acting with high professional, moral, and ethical standards
· Supporting the City of North Richland Hills - goals, values and decisions
RESPONSIBILITY
· Being knowledgeable and skilled in your job
· Holding yourself and others accountable for actions and results
· Being loyal and taking ownership in the City goals, values, services and
departmental work program
· Taking pride in your work
· Willingness to take command and initiative when appropriate
INNOVATION
· Looking for better ways to do your job
· Willingness to learn
· Being open to new ideas, new approaches

· Thinking creatively and evaluating options
TEAMWORK
· Participating and involving others in team efforts
· Listening and understanding the other's viewpoint
· Willingness to cooperate with others and share resources
· Fulfilling defined roles and responsibilities
· Work and resolve differences and disagreements
Our employees have truly embraced the core values established by the Council, and the
quality of work performed by our staff is a testament to that fact. The core values campaign
and employee recognition program that was developed in an effort to incorporate the core
values into the daily lives of our City employees continues to be a success. The program has
been in place for over two (2) years now, and is still getting a positive response. In addition,
the Human Resources Department hosted the first employee recognition banquet this fiscal
year, and recognized Donna Carpenter as the first ever Employee of the Year for the City of
North Richland Hills.
111
Accomplishments: Accountabilitv to Citizens
The following is a brief list of some of the items the City has accomplished as City Council
and staff work toward the attainment of each City goal. As is evident from this list, the City
goals do in fact guide the work plan of our City as many of the City Council's priorities were
achieved or implemented this past fiscal year.
Safety and Security
1. The Police Department successfully completed their goal of keeping our response times
for priority 1 calls under 6 minutes and our priority 2 calls under 9 minutes. This year the
Police Department responded to priority 1 calls in 5:05 minutes, priority 2 calls in 7:52
minutes, and an average of all calls in 9:21 minutes.
2. The Police Department completed their first full year of service using a Global Positioning
System (GPS) that automatically locates the unit is physically closest to an incident.
Using this system has helped maintain excellent response times to calls for service.
3. The special investigations unit seized $45,248 in cash from narcotics dealers, illegal
gambling operations and sting operations, and seized an additional $6,128 in cash for our
portion of the assets seized by the unit in cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency
(DEA) Task Force.
4. The Fire Department met their objective to respond to 90% of all Fire and Emergency
Medical Calls within 5 minutes, as the overall average response time is 4:45 minutes.
5. Construction has started on new Fire Stations One (1) & Four (4). Construction is
approximately 15% complete at this time.
6. The Fire Department implemented the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
for the City of North Richland Hills. Sixty (60) citizen volunteers have been trained
through this grant funded program to respond to emergency situations in our City.
7. Municipal Court installed a metal detector to insure safety in the courtroom. Approximately
200 people are scanned per day in about a 4 hour time period.
Quality Development
1. Approximately 300 new homes were built in North Richland Hills with an average permit
value of $185,250, and approximately 150 new businesses were added in fiscal year
2003/2004.
2. North Richland Hills welcomed new retail centers along Davis Boulevard and North
Tarrant Parkway. These centers brought dozens of new businesses to the area and
helped establish the Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway intersection as an
economic "hot spot". Among our new neighbors in the business community are the
IV
Cotton Patch, Mi Pueblo, Eckerd Drugs, Chase Bank, and the newly approved Chili's
Restaurant.
3. The City completed its first year as a member of Quad Cities DFW which includes Keller
and Birdville School Districts, and the surrounding cities of Watauga, Richland Hills, and
Haltom City. This new economic development program strengthens our efforts and
marketability while allowing each city to retain its unique identity.
Quality Redevelopment and Reinvestment
1. The City initiated a study of the impact of the future expansion of IH Loop 820. This study
will help the City plan for the impact this expansion will have on neighborhoods,
businesses and City facilities in the corridor. The study will also evaluate and make
recommendations regarding the possibility of a future Freeway Business District that will
help redevelop the area around IH Loop 820. When the study is complete, the City will
have a plan for dealing with the impacts in the best possible way, and, more importantly,
citizens and business owners will have a better understanding of how the freeway
expansion will impact them.
2. The South Grapevine Highway Corridor Study was completed giving the City of North
Richland Hills and the City of Richland Hills implementation strategies and plans to
revitalize this area. The implementation phase of this project began in July of this year,
and it is hoped that revitalization efforts will bring a fresh look to this corridor that will
attract more shoppers and businesses to this area.
3. The Neighborhood Initiative Program was established to promote livable neighborhoods
through promoting basic property maintenance, establishing higher community standards
and encouraging increased community investment and volunteerism to help those in
need. Since January 2004, the program has completed twenty three (23) projects and
several projects are in the planning stage. There are currently 30 citizen volunteers and
the program has received donations and support from 20 businesses and non-profit
organizations.
4. The Apartment Inspection Program is in its first year of operation and by year end is
expected to complete approximately 3,000 apartment inspections. This program was
established this year to provide annual inspection and licensing of existing apartment
complexes in the City as well as respond to complaints from apartment dwellers in the
City. The program has been well received by apartment managers, and it has been
effective in resolving code and safety issues at older apartment complexes in North
Richland Hills.
5. The Public Works Department continues to revitalize older areas of the City by providing
programs such as the Sidewalk Program, Miscellaneous Channel/Street Drainage
Program and the Preventative Street Maintenance Program to help improve the
infrastructure and appearance of older neighborhoods.
v
6. The City established a CDBG grant program for housing rehabilitation and plans to use
$90,000 of grant funds to implement this program. Through this grant process, those
households that qualify will be able to use the grant funds to make necessary
improvements to their property. This program will be administered by the Neighborhood
Services Department Code Enforcement Division.
Financially Responsible City Government
1. The City' Budget and Finance Departments received several awards in recognition of the
City's commitment to excellence in financial reporting.. For the first time, the Capital
Improvement Projects Budget received special recognition as it was unanimously
classified as outstanding by budget award reviewers. The Annual Budget received the
Distinguished Budget Award for the 14th consecutive year, and the 2002 Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers' Association (GFOA). This is
the 20th consecutive year that North Richland Hills received this distinguished award.
2. The City of North Richland Hills realized substantial savïngs as a result of proceeds from
refunding bonds and a cash payment by the City (estimated at almost $1.25 million) that
will be used to refund $7,605,000 in outstanding debt.
3. The City made significant changes to Group Medical Benefits to help decrease health
costs to the City. Changes implemented this fiscal year included the creation of two (2)
preferred provider health plans for employees to choose from, adding a new tier of
participation, moving to a 3-tier prescription plan, and allowing our employees to opt out of
our plan. As a result of these changes, the City has realized approximately $1 million
decrease in health expenditures when compared to expenditures at the same time last
year.
Quality of Life Amenities for the Community
1. A new 3,100 square foot pavilion was designed and constructed at the Iron Horse Golf
Course. The new pavilion will be paid for by golf course fees and concessions, not tax
funds, and it will allow the City's Iron Horse Golf Course to host larger golf tournaments,
special functions and other events increasing revenue.
2. Iron Horse Golf Course was ranked number one public golf course in the 2004 best of
Tarrant County Poll conducted by the Star-Telegram.
3. The North Richland Hills Library was ranked third among Texas libraries in our population
group by the annual Hennen's American Public Library Rankings.
4. The library welcomed over 270,000 visitors during fiscal year 2002/2003 and circulated
731,899 books and other library materials.
VI
5. Professor Frogstein's Splashatory was completed at NRHzO Family Water Park. This
custom themed attraction combines waterslides, interactive play features and pool level
activities. NRHzO also celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.
6. North Richland Hills opened 5 new Neighborhood Parks including: Kay Granger Park,
Clyde Zellers Park, Legacy Park, Founders Park and Dick Faram Park. The City has also
completed the design and construction is underway for two (2) future neighborhoods
parks, Tommy & Sue Brown·Park and Liberty Park.
Effective Transportation System
1. North Richland Hills participated in a regional rail corridor study to select possible future
commuter rail stops along the Cottonbelt rail line. As a result of this study, two (2) sites in
North Richland Hills are being considered for future commuter rail stops.
2. The Public Works Department overlaid almost nine (8.77) lane miles of streets with two
(2) inches of hot-mix asphalt, slurry sealed almost twelve (11.70) lane miles of streets,
and crack sealed seven (7) lane miles through the Preventive Street Maintenance
Program.
3. The Street Division of the Public Works Department developed and implemented a Traffic
Calming Program. This program has drawn significant interest from citizens, as staff has
fabricated and placed over one hundred fifty (150) "Slow Down In Our Neighborhood"
signs in neighborhoods all over the City.
4. Design was completed on the City's Traffic Signal Upgrade Project. This project will
consist of upgrading all traffic signals in the City and allow them to be monitored at a
centralized location to improve signal light timing. This will also allow diagnostic tests to
be run on the signals from a computer terminal instead of the individual traffic signal,
which will save time and allow signal light problems to be identified and repaired faster.
This list of achievements represents just a few of the City's accomplishments throughout the
past year. We are fortunate to have a City Council with the vision to strategically plan for the
future, and an excellent staff that strives to meet and exceed the expectations of the Council.
We believe fiscal year 2003/2004 has been successful despite budget reductions.
2003/2004 REVISED BUDGET
As part of the normal annual budget process, some areas of the 2003/2004 budget require
revision from the original adopted level. One of the changes you will notice between the
adopted budget and revised budget is the appropriation of fund balance for prior year
encumbrances under revenues. This is generally for items that were encumbered in
2002/2003, as approved by Council, but actually purchased, paid for and completed in fiscal
year 2003/2004. The most important budget revisions are explained in the following
narrative.
VB
General Fund Revised 2003/2004
General Fund revenues have been revised upward from the adopted level by about $75,000,
0.24% increase. This increase is due to some revenues being revised upward, as well as
some being revised down. Below is a discussion of the revenue adjustments. In addition,
there is an appropriation for prior year encumbrances of $376,519 included in total revenues
of $31,743,609.
The largest adjustment to revised revenues is in sales taxes which have been revised down
by $285,685. At the time the budget was developed last year, we were confident that the City
would be able to achieve the $8.4 million included in the adopted budget. Since sales tax
revenues continue to be sluggish, we believe it is necessary to revise this revenue downward
and project year-end revenues to be $8.1 million, slightly over prior year actuals. Property
tax revenues have been revised upward $30,000 based on the September tax roll. Property
values on this final tax roll were higher than the July 2003 tax roll that was used to project
revenues for this year. Delinquent property tax revenue has been adjusted upward by almost
$45,000 due to larger than expected collections of delinquent accounts by our delinquent tax
attorneys. Utility franchise taxes have been adjusted upward slightly as well. The net affect
of these adjustments to the taxes category of revenues is a decrease of $189,457 or a 0.8%
reduction.
Fines and forfeitures have been revised upward approximately $107,000. This is due mainly
to an increase in court fine and warrant fee collections. Licenses and permits have been
revised upward just over $44,000. Several revenues in this category have been adjusted
upward, such as miscellaneous and building permits, and several revenues have been
adjusted downward such as electrical permits. Charges for service has been revised up by
almost $100,000 due mainly to increases in ambulance and recreation fees. Miscellaneous
revenue has been revised upward almost $392,000. The largest adjustment to this category
is the appropriation for prior year encumbrances of $376,519. As described above this
amount is to offset open purchase orders from the prior year for items that were ordered in
the prior year but were not received and invoiced until the current year. Also included in
miscellaneous revenue is a reduction to interest income of $61,000.
General Fund expenditures have been revised upward by approximately $511,000. The
majority of this increase, $376,519, is for prior year encumbrances. The balance of the
increase is mainly in the Legal department due to settlements and litigation costs. The Legal
budget was increased by $330,000. Reductions of almost $200,000 were made in other
general fund departments to help offset the Legal increase. Although it appears that
Neighborhood Services has a large increase in their budget between adopted and revised,
this is really just a shift in costs. The Code Enforcement division was moved out of the
Planning and Inspections department mid-year into the Neighborhood Services Department.
Both Planning and Inspections show a decrease from the adopted to the revised budget.
Revised revenues over expenditures for the General Fund are projected to be $45,430.
Vlll
Utilitv Fund Revised 2003/2004
Utility Fund revenues have been revised down by just over $509,000 or 2.6%. Most of the
decrease is in water sales due to the wet spring and early summer that we have experienced.
There is also a decrease in service charges between adopted and revised. This revision was
to correctly record garbage fees that are collected by the Utility Fund and transferred to the
General Fund. Miscellaneous revenues are up by about $54,000. This is a combination of
decreased interest income and an increase in late charges. Revenues also include the
appropriation of $54,400 in fund balance for prior year encumbrances.
Utility Fund expenditures were reduced overall just over $509,000. The majority of the
reduction was in purchases of water and purchases of sewer treatment from the Trinity River
Authority and the City of Fort Worth.
Golf Course Revised 2003/2004
It is projected that total rounds of golf in 2003/2004 will be 52,659, compared to 50,368
rounds in 2002/2003, a 4.5% increase. The increase in play can be attributed to
improvements made in areas previously identified as problematic by golfers. For example, all
sand bunkers on the course were refurbished prior to the beginning of the 2003/2004 season.
Also, a new outdoor pavilion was completed in May 2004. The new special events pavilion is
allowing the course to attract large group events previously lost due to the lack of an outdoor
catering area. Even with the positive changes at the golf course, growth in rounds remains
relatively stable due to the continuation of strong competition in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Net revenues of $2,278,986 are projected to be just over $13,000 less than adopted.
Although green fees are projected to be almost $124,000 less than adopted, other revenues
are projected to be higher, such as pro shop and driving range, which offset the majority of
the decrease in green fees.
A new annual membership program was implemented in 2003/2004, which has been well-
received by customers. This program calls for an upfront payment to be made by golfers and
they, in turn, are allowed unlimited annual play at the course during specified times.
Additionally, global positioning equipment will soon be placed on golf carts, which allows the
course to earn revenue with no additional costs. The equipment is owned by a third party but
installed on our golf carts. For an additional fee, at the time golf carts are rented, the GPS
device can be activated by golf course employees. The golf course retains a percentage of
the equipment rental fees while having no responsibility for equipment maintenance. Global
positioning equipment primarily helps golfers with club selection and the avoidance of course
hazards for more enjoyable rounds of golf.
Revised total expenditures, excluding reserves and internal debt payments, decreased by
just over $20,000. Including reserves and internal debt payments total expenditures are
equal to net revenues at $2,278,986.
IX
AQuatic Park Revised 2003/2004
NRH20 had 228,992 visitors at the park in 2003. It was estimated that this year we would
have 299,575 visitors, but because June was so rainy, the number of visitors has been
revised down to 256,133. The result of the decrease in attendance is a decrease in revenues
of approximately $631,000. Estimated year end revenues for the Park are $3,561,589.
Revised expenditures have been reduced just over $631,000. The reduction is a
combination of reductions to the various operating departments in the Park, reduction of the
park expansion reserve that was included in adopted, as well as delaying until next year the
$50,000 payment to the infrastructure reserve that was to begin this year. In last year's
budget, a loan was made from the infrastructure reserve for the purchase of a new locker
system. It was scheduled to be repaid in two years, but because revenues are down this
year it is necessary to delay beginning repayment until next year. If revenues come in higher
than estimated this year, and revenues exceed expenditures, we will make the loan payment.
Projected revenues and operating expenses for 2003/2004 are balanced. This includes
adding $400,000 to the infrastructure/major repairs and insurance reserves· as originally
planned.
BuildinQ Services Fund Revised 2003/2004
Revised revenues are projected to be almost $6,600 more than adopted. This is due to an
increase in interest income and a small appropriation of fund balance for prior year
encumbrances. Estimated revised revenues are $1,714,877, including an appropriation of
fund balance for prior year encumbrances of $435. Revised expenditures are $1,714,877
including encumbrances of $435 and $30,396 in reserve for capital projects.
EQuipment Services Fund Revised 2003/2004
Revised revenues are estimated to be $2,153,549, a 7% increase over adopted. The
increase is attributable to interest income and appropriation of fund balance for prior year
encumbrances of $126,059. Revised expenditures are almost $2.2 million. Included in total
expenditures are prior year encumbrances of just over $126,000 and an addition to
equipment services reserve of over $142,000.
Self Insurance Fund Revised 2003/2004
Total revenues for this fund are projected to be $5,950,596, the same as the adopted budget.
Included in total expenditures of $5,590,596 are health/medical costs of $4.8 million,
$629,064 for all other insurance, and $487,883 in personnel expenses.
Information Services Fund Revised 2003/2004
Total revised revenue is projected to be $2,446,014. This includes a slight increase in
interest income and appropriation of fund balance of $179,464 to offset prior year
encumbrances. Total revised expenditures increased just over $179,000. Included in this is a
x
$9,500 reduction to operating expenditures, an increase of almost $16,000 to the systems
improvement reserve and prior year encumbrances of $179,464.
Promotional Fund Revised 2003/2004
Occupancy tax revenues are expected to be the $10,000 less than adopted at $210,000.
Interest income has been revised to $3,600, a decrease of $1,200. Also included in total
revenues of $264,067 is an appropriation of fund balance for $48,867. This is $11,400 more
than in the adopted budget. The increase in the appropriation is needed in order to offset the
decrease in occupancy tax revenues. Also included is $1,000 for prior year encumbrances.
Total expenditures are projected to be $264,067.
Donations Fund Revised 2003/2004
Overall revenues are projected to increase $53,879 over adopted. Although a few revenues
were revised down, there was a $60,000 adjustment to appropriation for the Humane
Services Expansion that was the main contributor of the increase in overall revenues. The
increase to the appropriation is in line with what is planned for the expansion project in the
CIP budget. Total revised expenditures of $586,348 are $60,000 more than the adopted
budget. This is also due to the Humane Services Expansion project whereby more funds are
being allocated to the project this year. The Donations Fund is projected to end the year with
a $68,033 balance of revenues over expenditures.
Speciallnvestiaation Fund Revised 2003/2004
Revised revenues have been adjusted downward by about $12,000. State and Federal
forfeited funds have been lowered by over $16,000. Forfeited funds revenues are dependent
on which cases go to court and whether or not a judge releases any funds to the City. This
revenue fluctuates year to year. The radio system revenue has been decreased by just over
$9,000. This brings the revenues more in line with what it looks like we will collect from other
cities who participate with us for radio maintenance. Police Mobile Data Terminal (MDT)
reimbursements have been revised up by about $15,000. This is due to receiving more in
MDT reimbursement revenue than anticipated.
Revised expenditures remain at the adopted level. This fund is projected to end the year with
$15,209 in revenues over expenditures.
DrainaQe Utility Fund Revised 2003/2004
The only change in this fund is a slight decrease in interest income. It is projected that this
fund will end the year with a balance of approximately $244,000.
Parks Development Fund Revised 2003/2004
Sales tax revenue projections were revised downward by approximately $183,000 and
interest income has been revised downward by almost $27,000. Tennis Center revenues
Xl
have been revised upward to $324,750, a 2% increase over adopted. Total revenues of
$4,464,138 are $203,207 less than the adopted budget.
Total expenditures of $4,464,138 includes a reduction of over $203,000 to the reserve for
capital projects. It is anticipated that just over $1 million will be added to this reserve at year
end.
Crime Control and Prevention District Revised 2003/2004
Sales tax revenue projections were revised downward by approximately $330,000. Since this
fund is almost wholly funded by sales tax, it is necessary to borrow an additional $329,000
from the Transition Fund than was included in the adopted budget to help offset the revenue
reductions. Total revised revenues, including the loan from the Transition Fund, are
$4,577,396, including $6,200 in prior year encumbrances.
Total revised expenditures of $4,577,396 are $6,200 greater than adopted and are the result
of prior year encumbrances.
THE 2004/2005 PROPOSED BUDGET
Highlights and Analysis
In an effort to achieve the goals set by the City Council, continuation of initiatives from
previous years are planned for 2004/2005. Highlights of the coming year are:
1. Continuina Support for Preventive Street Maintenance - The 13th consecutive year of
major funding for street maintenance will see the continuation of $600,000 devoted to this
highly visible program. Prior to 2003/2004, this program was funded completely by the
General Fund. In 2003/2004, due to budgetary constraints, the Preventive Street
Maintenance program was funded wholly in the capital projects program using savings
from projects in previous years. The proposed budget restores $300,000 of the funding
back to the General Fund, with the balance of $300,000 being funded with an
accumulation of savings from past projects in the capital projects program. With the new
approaches being used as part of the Preventive Street Maintenance Program, Citizens
can expect to see greater improvement in the overall condition of streets in North
Richland Hills over the next few years.
2. Equipment & Buildina Services Plan - Staff continues to update this plan originally
presented to City Council in fiscal year 1997/1998. The plan allows the City to continue
its programs of facility infrastructure maintenance and equipment replacements with no
property tax increase, while monitoring the investment the City has in these valuable
assets. The 2005 plan is presented in the 2004/2005 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
budget and includes enhancements to be discussed later in this letter.
3. Aauatic Park Infrastructure - The 10th consecutive year of infrastructure funding will see
$325,000 added to reserves for major infrastructure replacement and/or major repair.
XlI
Total accumulated reserves at the end of fiscal year 2005 are estimated to be
approximately $3.4 million.
4. Support of Alliance for Child Advocacy Center - This program will receive $11,725 in
fiscal year 2004/2005 with funding from the Crime Control and Prevention District sales
tax. This program reaches out with assistance to at-risk children in Northeast Tarrant
County.
5. 7th Year Reserve for Capital Improvements - The 2004/2005 budget continues funding
the reserve for capital projects to provide a pay-as-you-go approach to fund small capital
projects. The total funding for this reserve is $150,000. Projects funded from this small
reserve avoid borrowing funds for smaller capital projects. This will bring the total amount
transferred to the reserve to over $2.9 million.
6. Service Enhancement for 2004/2005 - Service enhancements to address Goals and
Targets established by City Council are included in the 2004/2005 proposed budget.
Management and staff identified items with high priorities that are responsive to the needs
of our growing community. These enhancements are discussed in detail later in this
letter. The following is a brief list of what is included in these enhancements:
~ Emergency Medical Service Expansion
- $200,000 (General Fund)
~ Improve Emergency Response Capabilities
- $40,000 (CIP Budget, Grant Funds)
~ Improve Efficiency of Humane Services Operations
- $32,350 (Information Services Fund)
~ Growing Our Economic Base
- $250,000 (Park & Recreation Facilities Development Fund)
~ Maintain Water Park Viability
- $105,000 (Aquatic Park Fund)
~ Providing Maintenance for Neighborhood Parks
- $134,047 (Park & Recreation Facilities Development Fund)
~ Update Park & Recreation Master Plan
- $46,875 (CIP Budget)
While the 2004/2005 proposed budget addresses many of the Goals and Targets Council has
established for the City, the proposed budget strives to further enhance or modify existing
services and add new programs which will help the City meet its goals. But, because of
limited resources, this has been a challenge.
Property Values & Tax Analvsis
Net taxable value growth is up once again. As of the July 2004 tax roll, net taxable values
are approximately 4.3% greater than last July and include $72,749,409 million in new
Xlll
construction. Excluding new construction, existing property increased in value 1.9% over
July 2003. The average home value in North Richland Hills was $127,257 in July 2003. The
average home value, based on the May 2004 tax roll, is $132,004. The estimated revenue to
be generated from the net taxable value at a 99% collection rate is $17,624,948. The
proposed budget includes revenues to the Debt Service Fund in the amount of $6,862,025 to
pay for bonds and certificates of obligation, $579,910 for public improvements in the tax
increment financing districts, and $10,183,013 to the General Fund. The proposed budget
includes no changes to the current tax rate of 57¢ per $100 valuation, which is less than the
estimated effective tax rate of 56.5¢. The effective tax rate will be confirmed with Tarrant
County prior to the budget work session.
General Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The General Fund provides funding for the tax supported operations of the City. These are
services traditionally referred to as City operations; Police, Fire, Streets, Library, etc. The
major sources of revenue to this fund are sales taxes (representing 25% of General Fund
revenues) and property taxes (representing 31 % of General Fund revenues).
In 2004/2005, revenues in the General Fund are projected to increase over 2003/2004
adopted revenues by approximately $1.1 million, a 3.63% increase. The major increases are:
~ Property taxes
~ Fines and Forfeitures
~ Licenses and Permits
~ Charges for Services
~ Intergovernmental
~ Appropriation for Self Insurance Reserve
~ School Resource Officer Reimbursement
$ 484,905
$ 72,720
$ 51,401
$ 140,355
$116,654
$ 347,250
$ 150,000
As stated in the previous section regarding property values, tax revenues are projected at
$17,624,948 based on the current 57¢ tax rate. Of this amount, $6,862,025 is needed for
debt service and $579,910 is needed for public improvements in the Tax Increment Financing
districts.
General Fund sales taxes are projected at $8,204,423 (a decrease of 3% below 2003/2004
adopted budget), which includes business gains as well as business losses. This is less
revenue than was collected three years ago in 2001/2002 and only 0.5% greater than current
year revised. Unfortunately we not only have to budget in these economically uncertain
times, we also do not anticipate any large sales tax generators locating in our City in the next
twelve months.
In the General Fund, departmental budget requests totaled $34,127,584. The proposed
General Fund departmental budgets total $31,638,390, a 3.24% increase over the adopted
2003/2004 budget, and $2.5 million less than departmental requests. Careful evaluation was
made in reducing these funding requests. Additionally, amounts budgeted for the capital
projects reserve, market adjustment, allocation to the Self Insurance medical claims reserve,
XIV
and proposed service enhancements bring the total proposed General Fund budget to
$32,403,566.
There are several departmental expenditure increases to note. Legal expenses are proposed
at $500,033, an increase of $232,192 over current year adopted. This amount includes the
general legal services fees paid by the City as well as an estimated amount for litigation
costs. Although the general legal services costs is known, litigation costs vary each year.
The amount budgeted is our best estimate at this time of what the litigation costs will be next
year.
The proposed Public Works budget is almost $367,000 more than current year adopted. In
the 2003/2004 adopted budget, the $600,000 needed for the Preventive Street Maintenance
program was included in the CIP budget instead of the operating budget, as in years past,
because of budget constraints. There were savings in the CIP projects that were used to
fund the program in 2003/2004. The proposed budget includes funding a portion of the
Preventive Street Maintenance program out of the General Fund. Included in Public Works
proposed numbers is $300,000 for this program. The remaining $300,000 is once again
proposed to be funded in the CIP budget using projects savings.
As mentioned in the Revised Budget section of this letter, it appears that Neighborhood
Services has a substantial increase in their budget compared to curr~nt year adopted. This
increase is the result of moving the Code Enforcement division' out of Planning and
Inspections to Neighborhood Services during fiscal year 2003/2004. The adopted budget
total for these three departments was $2,169,356. The proposed budget for these three
departments is $2,226,780, a 2.65% increase.
The proposed budget includes $150,000 in reserve for "pay as you go" Capital
Improvements. This is $400,000 less than in the 2003/2004 adopted budget due to budget
constraints. In future years it is anticipated, revenues permitting, to increase funding for this
reserve back to $550,000.
The proposed budget also includes a $347,250 allocation to the Self Insurance Fund to begin
rebuilding medical claims reserves in that fund as was discussed at the June 23, 2004 work
session with Council.
There are several service reductions as discussed in the "Maintaining a Sound Budget:
Evaluating Services and Expenditures" section of this letter. But, for 2004/2005, the City will
deliver auality services as in past years. There is one $200,000 service enhancement
included in the General Fund budget. This enhancement is discussed in detail in the
"Addressing Critical Needs" section of this letter. The projected revenues over expenditures
for the General Fund are $25,975, including the service enhancement.
Utilitv Fund Proposed 2004/2005
Water sales and charges generated from the North Richland Hills system for 2004/2005 are
projected to be $12,552,444, a 0.05% increase from current year adopted budget. At this
time, it looks like the pass through water rate increase will be $.82 per month for the average
xv
residential customer. When Fort Worth and Trinity River Authority finalize their budgets we
will be able to determine the exact amount of the pass through. Projections for next year do
not take into account the possible changes to rates based on the ongoing Utility Rate Study.
This information will be brought forward to Council in the fall or early winter.
Sewer sales and charges are projected to be $6,960,543, about $113,000 more than current
year adopted. At this time, it is estimated that the pass through rate increase for sewer will
be $.48 per month for the average residential customer. When Fort Worth and Trinity River
Authority finalize their budgets we will be able to determine the exact amount of the pass
through. Projections for next year do not take into account the possible changes to rates
based on the ongoing rate study. As mentioned above, this information will be brought
forward to Council in the fall or early winter.
Included in total Utility Fund revenues is $115,750 in appropriation of fund balance to the Self
Insurance Fund to be used toward building medical claims reserves in that fund as discussed
at the June 23, 2004 work session with Council. Total Utility Fund revenues are projected to
be $20,269,321, about $19,000 more than the 2003/2004 adopted budget.
Expenses are estimated at $20,269,321" which is a .10% increase over 2003/2004 adopted.
Included in the budget is the elimination of the utility evening and weekend crew (discussed
in the "Maintaining a Sound Budget: Eyaluating Services and Expenditures" section of this
letter), a $237,000 decrease in the amount for Fort Worth and Trinity River Authority to
provide water and sewage treatment services and a projected increase to the reserve for
capital projects of $95,062. Also included in total expenditures is a transfer of $115,750 to
the Self Insurance Fund. The increase to the Self Insurance Fund is needed to help with
reestablishing the medical claims reserve.
Golf Course Proposed 2004/2005
The Golf Course is projecting net revenues of $2,223,907 and expenses of $2,101,364 for
the proposed budget based on an estimate of 53,500 rounds of golf being played. Rounds
and revenue will continue to be helped by the outdoor event pavilion. This is reflected in both
the proposed food and beverage and green fees revenue categories. However, proposed
revenues overall represent a reduction from the adopted budget. This is primarily due to
continued discounting of greens fees to compete in the Metroplex market. Also, the annual
membership program will be in its second year and staff believes the program will lose some
of its initial excitement. There are no proposed fee increases included in the proposed
budget.
Expenses are budgeted at almost $91,500 less than the 2003/2004 adopted budget, which is
a 4% decrease. The majority of the decrease is due to the removal of equipment purchases
that were included in the 2003/2004 adopted budget. Included in total expenses is $523,851
for debt service and $98,729 for the annual repayment of internal loans. The internal loan
repayment includes the first of five annual payments for the 2003/2004 equipment loan made
to the golf course from the City's Pay-As-You-Go reserves. The equipment loan repayment
equals $42,275. This amount includes principal and interest at 3%. Staff worked with the
golf course management company to update the course's equipment replacement plan last
XVI
year. The plan is similar to the replacement plan used by the Equipment Services Fund and
projects equipment replacement out for five years. The City moved forward with the plan in
2003/2004. However, staff recommends holding off on scheduled equipment purchases in
2004/2005. Financial conditions were not suitable for an additional loan to be made from the
City to the golf course and the existing equipment will be useful for at least one more year.
One final note, 2004/2005 represents the final year of a five-year agreement with Evergreen
Alliance Golf Limited (EAGL) the golf course management company. The actual contract
ending date is December 2005, which will allow staff time to continue analyzing future
management options subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2004/2005.
AQuatic Park Proposed 2004/2005
Revenues of $3,737,720 at NRH20 are approximately $306,000 more than the 2003/2004
revised budget (excluding appropriation). It is estimated that there will be 282,519 visitors to
the park next year.
Expenditures are projected to be $3,737,720. Included in expenditures is $400,587 for debt
service, and the first installment of $50,000 to repay a loan from the infrastructure reserve in
the amount of $100,000. The first installment was originally planned for FY 2003/2004 but
with revenues being down because of weather, the first installment has been delayed until
2004/2005.. ·The loan was used to pay for the replacement of the locker system at the park.
It is anticipated that the loan will be repaid in less than two (2) years from revenues
generated from locker rentals. The reserves for future infrastructure & major repairs and the
reserve for insurance continue to be budgeted at $325,000 and $75,000 respectively. The
reserve for future park expansion is budgeted at $2,376.
Buildina Services Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The total proposed budget of $1,731,042 includes operating expenses of $1,472,643, capital
expenses of $200,000, and debt service payments of $43,607. These costs are to provide
maintenance and repairs to all City facilities. This is an increase of 1 .3% from the 2003/2004
adopted budget. The ten-year plan approved by City Council in 1997 has been updated for
2005 and is included in the proposed 2004/2005 CIP budget.
EQuipment Services Fund Proposed 2004/2005
Total expenses of $2,540,882 include operations and maintenance of $1 ,380,494, equipment
purchases of $1,042,680, and debt service payments of $102,647. Included in equipment
purchases are police vehicles that were originally scheduled for replacement in the
2003/2004 fiscal year, but because of budget constraints, were delayed until 2004/2005.
This fund maintains operating and major equipment used in all City departments. Each
department pays its pro-rata cost for operations and maintenance of equipment users. The
ten-year plan approved by City Council in 1997 has been updated for 2005 and is included in
the proposed 2004/2005 CIP budget.
XVll
Self Insurance Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The Self-Insurance Fund pays for City wide expenses related to major medical coverage for
employees, workers compensation coverage, property and general liability coverage, life
insurance and all administrative expenses associated with this program. The Self Insurance
Fund budget for 2004/2005 meets all expected expenses. The budget for health/medical is
$204,426 more than 2003/2004 adopted, a 4.2% increase. The increase in health/medical
has been kept to a small increase compared to medical inflation as a result of plan changes
that will take place as of January 1, 2005. These plan changes were discussed with Council
at the June 23, 2004 work session and are covered in detail in the "Retaining Quality
Employees" section of this letter. Included in the proposed budget is $597,091 in reserve for
insurance claims. This amount is made up of savings from plan changes, as well as a
$463,000 transfer from the General Fund and Utility Fund to begin rebuilding reserves. Staff
will continue to take a proactive approach in limiting future increases through evaluation of
cost saving measures in the coming years in addition to the changes for 2005. Future plans
also include the rebuilding of medical claims reserves.
Information Services Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The Information Services Fund pays City wide expenses associated with major computers,
microcomputers, data network, Geographical Information System, and telecommunications
services. Departments pay their pro-rata share of the computer and telecommunications
services. The Information Services budget totals $2,360,903 including $32,350 in service
enhancements (discussed in the "Addressing Critical Needs" section of this letter) and
addition to reserves of $134,714.
Promotional Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The Promotional Fund, which provides visitor/tourism services and economic development
for the City, projects occupancy tax proceeds of $210,000 and interest income in the amount
of $2,000. Also included is an appropriation of fund balance of $48,823. Total proposed
expenditures for the Promotional Fund are projected at $261,423, a .6% decrease from
current year adopted. This fund continues to see very little growth due to occupancy levels at
our local hotels. We do not expect any improvement in this over the foreseeable future.
Donations Fund Proposed 2004/2005
The Donations Fund derives most of its revenue from contributions made through city water
bills. The contributions are allocated to the Library (60¢), Humane Services (60¢), and special
events and arts (30¢). It is estimated that water bill donation revenues will generate almost
$122,000 of the total projected revenues of $269,746 for 2004/2005. Total revenues are
about $331,000 less than 2003/2004 adopted. The decrease is primarily due to the
appropriation of fund balance to be used toward the Humane Services expansion project.
The appropriation is down from $405,914 in the 2003/2004 adopted budget to $60,000 in the
proposed budget. Over the last several years donations have been collected for Humane
Services in anticipation of the monies going toward the expansion project. Proposed
XVlll
expenditures are $186,786. It is projected that the fund will have revenues in excess of
expenditures of $82,960.
Speciallnvestiaation Fund Proposed 2004/2005
Revenues for this fund are derived from Federal and State forfeited funds and
reimbursements from neighboring cities involved in the Police Mobile Data Terminal program,
the 800 MHz radio system and the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
program. Total revenues are budgeted at $391,393, which is slightly less than current year
adopted. Proposed expenditures total $389,648. The increase over current year adopted is
for increased radio maintenance costs. Revenues are projected to exceed expenditures by
$1,745.
Drainaae Utilitv Fund Proposed 2004/2005
This Fund accounts for the monthly fees charged to residents and businesses to pay for the
cost of drainage improvements throughout the City. Revenues are transferred to the Debt
Service Fund to pay for principal and interest on bonds approved by voters for drainage
improvements. Budgeted transfers for 2004/2005 are $730,767. An ending balance of
$290,851 is projected for this fund.
Parks Development Fund Proposed 2004/2005
Sales tax revenues are projected to be almost $4.1 million in 2004/2005, approximately
$163,000 or 4% less than the 2003/2004 adopted budget. Also, included in total revenues of
$4.5 million is $327,510 for the tennis center. This is a $9,500 increase over the amount
adopted in 2003/2004.
Total budgeted expenditures are almost $4.5 million, including debt service of $1,355,367,
reserves for capital projects of over $500,000, and $384,000 in service enhancements.
Included is a service enhancement to add four full time maintenance workers as of April 1,
2005 for the maintenance of the new neighborhood parks. Also included as a service
enhancement is the allocation of $250,000 in sales tax revenues to be used to enhance our
economic development efforts. Both of these enhancements are discussed in greater detail
in the "Addressing Critical Needs" section of this letter. This Fund also provides funding for
park operations, administration and $1,080,863 for maintenance of park and recreation
facilities constructed using the half-cent sales tax.
Crime Control District Proposed 2004/2005
Sales tax revenues are projected to be just under $3.9 million in the Crime Control District for
2004/2005. This is $311,000 less than the 2003/2004 adopted budget. This decrease is
attributable to the slow economy. Included in total revenues of $4.9 million is a loan from the
Transition Fund to help offset the decreased sales tax revenue. Total expenditures are
projected at $4,893,012. More detail is included in the Crime Control District Section of this
book.
XIX
Maintaining a Sound Budget:
Evaluating Services and ExDenditures
Although the national economy is on the path to recovery, the local economy has not yet
seen the effects of this trend. Sales tax collections have shown a slight increase in the last
few months, but, overall, sales tax revenues continue to decline and it was necessary for staff
to make adjustments in the 2003/2004 Revised Budget to compensate for these losses. In
order to prepare a balanced budget for fiscal year 2004/2005, Department Heads and City
Management thoroughly reviewed operations to evaluate the possibility of eliminating or
reducing some services as well as the impacts of providing minimum services. As a result,
the proposed budget is at the minimum level and includes reductions in City services and the
elimination of some positions through reorganization. However, based on direction from the
City Council, the proposed service changes do not affect critical services and are those that
will have the least impact on our citizens. Department Directors will have to make
adjustments in service levels to accommodate these significant cut backs, and it is my
opinion that it will be difficult to further reduce proposed expenditures without negatively
impacting critical services. The following provides a summary of recommendations for
changes to City services and major expenditure reductions. .
Chanaes to Services
Staff has identified the elimination of the evening and weekend water and sewer crews
in the Utility Division of the Public Works Department as a cost savings measure, and
this service change has been implemented in the current year. The purpose of this
crew was to provide response to after hours service issues that occur on the
weekends or in the evening. However, in evaluating this service, it is apparent that this
crew is not as productive as the day time crews because of safety issues and limited
personnel on duty during the evening and weekend shifts. In addition, responses to
evening and weekend emergencies can be accomplished by placing personnel on call
to respond to emergencies. As a result of this change, two (2) maintenance worker
positions will be eliminated in the future through attrition with minimal impact on
production and response times. Although we will not see significant savings from this
measure during the current fiscal year, we expect to achieve savings in the future
through the elimination of positions through attrition.
Beginning next fiscal year, the hours at the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center will
be reduced and the Humane Services Public Awareness Officer position will be frozen
until the proposed expansion of the Center is complete. Effective October 1, 2004, the
Center will be accessible by the public Monday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday
through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. This represents a total reduction of ten (10) hours per week or an average of two
(2) hours per day. This change in hours and position freeze amounts to $41,877 in
savings to the General Fund, and is a general reduction in service to the public.
However, this will not reduce the type or variety of services offered. Animal drop offs
xx
will still be accepted, adoptions will still take place, emergency calls will continue to be
dispatched, and all of the other basic services currently provided will be maintained.
The Police Department has always provided 24 hour, 7 day a week access to Police
records. North Richland Hills is the only City in the area that provides this level of
service. It is proposed .to open the Police Records Division only during normal
business hours, and eliminate two (2) Police Records Technicians. The Police
Department will remain accessible at night and on the weekends, as any necessary
walk-in traffic will be handled by a Public Service Officer that will be on duty after
hours. The public will stil.l have the ability to get copies of records regarding accidents,
arrests or traffic stops during regular business hours. This will reduce General Fund
costs by $84,165.
It is proposed to reduce funding used to add materials to the Library collection by
$50,000. There are two· reasons for this reduction. First, there is not space to add
shelving to accommodate additions to the Library collection. Second, the Library will
not be moving for another 2 to 3 years. As a result of reduced funding, the Library will
not be able to add to th~ collection as it has in the past, and patrons will realize an
impact. However, even with this reduction, the Library will be able to maintain a good
collection and replace worn volumes, eliminate outdated books and information, and
replace outdated items with new items that are in high demand.
Proaram & Expenditure Reductions
In an effort to reduce personnel costs, it is proposed to reorganize staff in the Fire
Department to allow for the elimination of a less critical position. In assessing all
operations for potential reductions, it was determined that it is possible to reduce
personnel in the administrative staff of the Fire Department. With the proposed
implementation of a third front line ambulance and the addition of six (6) new positions
in the Fire Department next fiscal year, there was particular focus on maximizing the
efficiency of operations within the Fire Department. The Proposed Budget includes the
elimination of an administrative position assigned to the Emergency Management
Coordinator with total cost savings to the General Fund of $70,079. This position
provides administrative support to the Emergency Management Coordinator, and is
currently filled by a firefighter/EMT. The proposed elimination of this position will result
in a reassignment of duties within the department including the assignment of some
duties to other departments within the City to improve efficiency. As part of this
reorganization, one of the Assistant Fire Chiefs, will serve as a back-up to the
Emergency Management Coordinator in times of vacation, sick leave or general
absence from the City. An upcoming position vacancy in the Fire Department due to
retirement will make it possible to accommodate this reduction without lay offs.
XXI
North Richland Hills continues to be proud of the quality special events and programs
we have been able to provide our citizens. It is proposed to continue funding the "Night
of Holiday Magic" and all major programs. However, staff has reviewed and evaluated
some of the minor special events and programs that the City provides each year to
determine whether these are still serving the needs of our citizens and if some these
are viable reductions to make in an effort to balance the City budget and continue to
provide critical services and programs. As a result, staff is proposing to offset
expenditures for the annual Fire Department Open House event and the Goof Troop
fire safety education program provided by the Fire Department ($27,233) through
sponsorships, donations and volunteers. Staff will actively pursue fund raising
opportunities in an effort to continue to host the Fire Department Open House and
provide entertaining fire safety education through the Goof Troop.
The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program will continue through the
distribution of vouchers that allows NRH citizens to take their hazardous waste to the
environmental collection center in Fort Worth. However, it is proposed to reduce
expenditures for the purchase of vouchers from $18,000 to $9,000. This will reduce
the number of vouchers distributed by the Neighborhood Services Department, which
are distributed on a first come first served basis, but allow the continuation of this
program on a smaller scale.
We are proposing to reduce expenditures for some printing and informational items.
This would be accomplished by eliminating the City's annual calendar, eliminating the
employee newsletter, and producing the City newsletter three times annually instead
of fours times annually. Informational items will still be made available to NRH citizens,
and the City will increase the use of utility bill inserts to provide information as well as
increase the use of the City's web site and Citicable Channel 7 to get timely
information to NRH citizens.
Training and educational budgets in all City Departments have been closely examined
in an effort to reduce expenditures in this area without impacting staff competencies
and services. These reductions will still allow employees who are required to attend
training each year to maintain licenses and certifications to continue with this training.
This also allows Police, Fire, EMS and other personnel to attend all mandatory
training. All other City staff will be able to attend some training throughout the year;
however, non-mandatory training will be strictly limited. Again, management is
committed to providing quality services to our citizens. As a result, we will make sure
that employees receive necessary and appropriate training so our citizens reap the
benefits.
In summary, although budget reductions are necessary, the recommended service changes
and program reductions have been carefully weighed against the impact these reductions will
have on our citizens. It is our intent that the adjustments to services are those that affect the
citizens the least, and our primary objective is to reduce costs without adversely affecting the
XXll
public safety of our citizens. In general, we feel the proposed reductions balance the budget
while keeping critical services in tact.
Addressina Critical Needs:.
Planninp for the Future & Providing Necessary ImDrovements
Although North Richland Hills is facing challenging economic times, our City continues to
experience steady growth and increased demands on services. The City Council has set a
course for our City and made clear its intentions to continue to provide quality services and
adequately plan for the future. In order to stay this course, staff believes it necessary to
recommend a few enhancements to City programs and services in the coming fiscal year.
The proposed enhancements represent only the most critical needs and items that are
essential to insure a bright future for our community. Funds for these improvements have
been identified through cost savings, adjustments to services to free up funds to provide
these necessary improvements, and capital project funds. The following descriptions provide
details of the improvements being proposed to address the Council goals and meet the
needs of our community.
Council Goal 1: Safety & Security
The Proposed Budget includes a program to fund staffing for a third front line
ambulance at a total cost of $200,000. This funding provides six (6) additional
firefighter/paramedics, including all operational costs, to staff an additional ambulance
24 hours a day, seven days a week. Currently, the City provides two (2) front line
ambulances, and has two (2) additional ambulances in the fleet that are used for back-
up purposes. Adding this third front line ambulance will involve using one of the back-
up ambulances for front line purposes. The additional staff proposed will also be cross
trained to support the City's aerial ladder truck when needed. The proposed program
is funded for the final five (5) months of next fiscal year to allow time to complete
construction of the new Fire station No. 1 and Fire station No. 4 as well as the
renovations of Fire station No. 2 and Fire station NO.3. This will insure adequate
space to house the additional staff since the front line ambulances will operate from
Fire stations No.2, No. 3 and No.4. We believe these additions are needed as the
Fire Department is approaching the nine (9) calls per day threshold to add a third
ambulance recommended by the Fire Department Staffing Study.
The proposed Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Budget includes funding in the
amount of $40,000 to improve the City's ability to respond to emergencies such as
severe weather with the addition of a generator and uninterrupted power supply
system to provide back up power for the City's automated fuel system and repair shop.
Without back up power to this facility, the City cannot provide the necessary tools for
emergency repairs, and City vehicles and equipment cannot get fuel during power
outages. This restricts emergency response capabilities because it limits access to
critical supplies during times of crisis. The need for this generator became apparent
after a multiple day power outage resulted from severe weather in June of this year.
XXl11
As a result of experience gained through this situation, we believe this generator and
emergency power supply to be critical to the City's Emergency Response Plan.
The Animal Adoption and Rescue Center has been using PetWhere Software to track
operations and animal care for the last several years. PetWhere was originally created
by a foundation that offered the software and maintenance to animal care facilities free
of charge. The foundation that created PetWhere is abandoning the ·software and
maintenance of this system, and, as a result, it is critical to purchase a new, supported
software system to insure continuity in our ability to maintain accurate animal control
records. This challenge has created an opportunity to improve efficiency in our
Humane Services operations through the purchase of a new software system that will
have increased capabilities compared to PetWhere. The new software system will cost
$32,350 including maintenance, training, and data conversion which will be paid for
from the Information Services Fund.
Council Goal 2 & 3: Quality Development & Quality RedevelopmentlRelnvestment
With the downturn of the economy over the last few years and the increased
competitive economic climate in our surrounding cities, the City has become focused
on the need to reinvest in economic development activities as a means of growing the
tax base. Economic Development activity has always been quite competitive in the
Metroplex, and competition has increased with the economic downturn as cities
struggle to make up for slow economic growth. North Richland Hills has offered
business assistance and incentives in many ways, but it is necessary to expand our
efforts. As we examined ways to do this, we have seen a need to provide some direct
financial resources in the form of infrastructure improvements to attract new retail and
other businesses, assist with business expertise that creates jobs, and other
incentives. Therefore, the Proposed Budget includes a recommendation to transfer
$250,000 from the Park and Recreation Facilities Development Fund, and establish an
"Economic Development Incentive Fund". Although there are no specific plans for the
use of this money at this time, it is recommended to create an incentive reserve that
can be used in the future to participate in economic development projects. City
participation in economic development projects could include providing infrastructure
necessary to support a project and other like expenditures. If the City Council
approves this recommendation, staff would draft a policy to present to the City Council
that would establish guidelines for the use of these dollars in compliance with state
law, and provide for incremental funding each year from 4B sales tax revenue.
Council Goal 4: Financially Responsible City Government
NRH20 Family Water Park celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, and it remains an
award winning tourist attraction that continues to be a successful enterprise venture.
XXIV
The water park's enterprise plan was completed in 1993, and there have been several
changes in the market since its completion. As the park marked its 10th season, many
leisure pools and micro-waterparks opened in the Metroplex, and several more are
planned to open in the near future. In an effort to insure the continued success of
NRH20 in this changing market with increasing competition, the proposed Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) budget includes an Aquatic Park Enterprise and Strategic
Development Update that will include a market study to evaluate changes in the
market since the original plan was completed to determine if NRH20 is targeting the
appropriate audience based on guest patterns and trends. Current revenues, policies,
and target market will be evaluated, and recommendations will be made for the most
profitable operation of the park. The plan will also be updated to include information on
the latest attractions and make recommendations regarding future attractions, the
location of new attractions, costs, and a timeline for the implementation of new
attractions. We believe updating the enterprise plan will place NRH20 in the best
position to deal with recent market changes. It is estimated that this project will cost
$105,000 which will be paid from Aquatic Park Fund Reserves for Infrastructure and
Major Repairs.
Council Goal 5: Quality of Life Amenities for the Community
It is recommended to add park maintenance staff in the coming fiscal year to support
the expansion of the City's Park System. By the end of the current fiscal year, North
Richland Hills will have added approximately 152 acres of developed park land for
various uses including neighborhood parks and trail systems. This will bring total
developed park acres in the City to 659, up from 507 acres of developed park land just
2 years ago. This represents a 30% increase in developed park land maintained by
Parks and Recreation Department maintenance staff. By the end of fiscal year
2005/2006, the City of North Richland Hills will add 13 new parks and 3 new trail
systems to our inventory. In fiscal year 2002/2003, the Parks and Recreation
Department employed 22 individuals who were involved in various aspects of parks
maintenance. At mid-year FY2003/2004, two (2) additional employees were added
bringing the total number to 24. To keep up with this significant growth, and to
maintain the City parks at the level for which they have become known, staff is
recommending the addition of four (4) Park Maintenance Workers at a cost of
$134,047. This provides funding for six (6) months of next fiscal year, and includes all
operational costs and equipment necessary to increase maintenance and keep up with
the growth of our park system.
Staff will explore the possibility of using volunteers to assist with park maintenance to
include providing landscaping, assisting with litter control, and other like areas.
Volunteers would be extremely helpful in providing additional beautification efforts,
providing park clean up programs, monitoring the parks for vandalism and helping to
insure that vandalism is addressed as quickly as possible after it occurs especially in
neighborhood parks. However, we believe City maintenance staff will still be
necessary to insure consistent levels of regular maintenance including mowing, repair
xxv
of playground equipment, and preparation of ball fields at all City parks as volunteers
may not be able to dedicate the amount of time necessary to keep up with these tasks
on a consistent basis, and many of these tasks require the use of equipment which
could increase liability to the City.
The proposed CIP budget includes a Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
Update. The cu"rrent Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan was approved in
March 2000, and the majority of the needs identified in the Plan have been
successfully addressed. Because most of the recommendations adopted in the 2000
Plan update have been completed, we believe it is time to complete another update
that will include a strategic plan for recreation programs based on community needs as
well as recommendations for park and recreation opportunities as the City approaches
build out. In addition, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department requires that park
master plans be updated every five (5) years in order to be eligible for state grant
funds. It is proposed to spend $46,875 to initiate the update of the plan in fiscal year
2004/2005. The plan will be completed in fiscal year 2005/2006 when the remaining
$78,125 will be spent. It is proposed to fund this project with Park and Recreation
Facilities Development Sales Tax Fund Reserves.
Retainina Qualitv Emplovees
The primary function of City government is to provide services to the citizens, our customers,
such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, water and utility services, recreation
services, and park maintenance. Quality employees are critical to the provision of these
services, and the reason North Richland Hills' most valuable asset is its employees. North
Richland Hills has a history of hiring and retaining skilled, educated and experienced people,
and providing a quality compensation and benefits program is essential to insuring that
continues. In an effort to continue to provide competitive benefits and compensation, we are
implementing strategies to continue to address rising medical costs and insure that the Self-
Insurance Fund remains sound as well as providing for the continuation of the Merit Pay
System and Market Adjustment Plan established by the City Council. Below we have
described the changes to the City's Group Medical Insurance Plan as well as the City's
compensation plan.
Last year the City's health expenditures reached an all time high of $5.8 million with
medical cost inflation at 19% and a large number of major medical issues. Significant
cost saving and cost sharing measures were implemented in January 2004 including
an increase in employee health insurance premiums to help share the burden of rising
healthcare costs as the City was covering 92% of medical costs prior to these
measures. Based on changes to the health plan, fiscal year 2003/2004 health care
expenditures were budgeted at $4.8 million dollars, with the City contributing 85% of
the revenue and employees contributing 15% of the revenue through higher monthly
premium payments. The majority of the plan year is behind us, and it appears the
measures initiated to address the City's rising healthcare costs and to share costs with
XXVI
employees have reduced overall expenditures and have encouraged employees to be
better healthcare consumers.
The Proposed Budget includes additional changes to the City's health plan in an effort
to continue to control the growth of health insurance costs and rebuild health
insurance reserves. The proposed changes for the 2005 health plan year are listed
below. These changes are based on recommendations from the employee benefits
committee.
Proposed Chanqes to the Group Medical Plan
· Move the administration of our health claims and medical network to a large
insurance carrier;
· Add a Consumer Driven Health Plan as a third option along with our two
preferred provider health plans;
· Increase employee health and dental premiums;
· Add a fourth tier to our monthly premium options;
· Increase calendar year deductibles to all plans;
· Increase various co-pays.
If approved by the City Council, these changes will be effective January 2005.
Proposed changes to the Group Medical Plan also include a six-year strategy to
rebuild health insurance reserves beginning in 2005. The reserve philosophy is based
on maintaining 10% of expected claims in a reserve account to cover fluctuations in
medical costs and major medical claims. An additional 10% reserve is also
recommended as a safety net. We believe the combined total of 20% in reserves is
necessary to protect the City's health plan up to the point where our health insurance
costs would be transferred to the City's stop-loss insurance carrier. Beginning in 2005,
the City will make a transfer of $463,000 into Insurance Fund Reserves with 75%
coming from fund balance in the General Fund and 25% from fund balance in the
Utility Fund. In future years, a portion of employee healthcare premiums will be
contributed toward rebuilding Insurance Reserves.
The rising cost of health care is an ongoing challenge facing both public and private
employers. The balance between offering a competitive benefit and the costs
associated with doing so will become increasingly difficult in the future. The ability to
make changes to the City's health plan design to address rising costs has clearly
helped the City of North Richland Hills address this challenge as changes made in the
current year have resulted in a decrease in healthcare expenditures. It is anticipated
that changes proposed for the 2005 plan year will have the same effect further
decreasing the City's expenditures on medical claims and encouraging employees to
become educated healthcare consumers. North Richland Hills will continue to partner
with employees and retirees by sharing in a level of commitment to keep our Self
Insurance Fund financially healthy. Long-term, this partnership approach will reduce
the financial impact of increasing medical costs while ensuring the financial stability of
the Self Insurance Fund so that the City of North Richland Hills can continue to provide
XXVll
quality health insurance for our employees, retirees, and family members for years to
come.
In 1996, the City Council adopted a merit pay for performance system that reinforces
the value of productivity by rewarding those employees that maintain an acceptable
performance level. Through the Merit Pay System, employees receive an annual
performance evaluation, and those employees who achieve an acceptable rating are
eligible to receive an increase in pay for good job performance. This system was
evaluated by the Compensation and Classification Study that was completed in 2003,
and it was recommended to continue the Merit Pay System as a reward for good job
performance.
After careful consideration and review, the proposed budget provides for the
continuation of the Merit Pay System by providing for an increase in pay for all full time
employees that receive an acceptable performance evaluation. Those employees that
do not receive satisfactory evaluations will not be eligible for a salary increase. We
believe it is important to continue the Merit Pay System so that the City continues to
provide incentive and acknowledgement to employees who perform their jobs well.
This benefits North Richland Hills citizens in that they receive good customer service
and quality City services from motivated employees.
In 1996, the City Council also approved a Market Adjustment Plan to keep salaries
competitive. The plan involves an annual study including a survey of 10 cities and a
review of the Employee Cost Index (ECI) to determine the level of adjustment
necessary to remain competitive in the labor market. The Compensation and
Classification Study recommended the continuation of the Market Adjustment Plan
because the job market is dynamic, and annual reviews are necessary in order to
remain competitive. City employees did not receive a market adjustment in fiscal year
2003/2004 because the Compensation and Classification Study had just been
implemented and budget constraints experienced last fiscal year. For budgeting
purposes, Human Resources conducted a preliminary market survey and check of the
ECI. The results of this preliminary survey indicate that overall salary ranges need to
be adjusted slightly in order to remain competitive. The Proposed Budget includes a
plan to adjust all salary ranges in January 2005 in accordance with a more thorough
market survey that will be conducted in October of this year. Those general service
employees that fall below the minimum of their salary range after the adjustments are
made will move to the new starting salary. Other general service employees will be
eligible for a merit increase on their employment anniversary date, but no other market
adjustment will be given. We are evaluating a plan to provide a greater adjustment to
employees who exceed expectations in job performance. Public Safety employees that
are part of the step pay system will receive a salary increase at the level determined
by the market survey on their employment anniversary date, and Public Safety step
pay ranges will be adjusted accordingly. We believe it is important to continue to adjust
salaries in accordance with the labor market so the City can continue to attract and
retain quality employees.

Financina for Fiscal Year 2004/2005
National indicators show that the economy is rebounding. As a result, we remain optimistic
about the future even though the local economy is not recovering as quickly as the National
economy. Sales tax revenues are slightly above last year's levels, and we have seen a slight
increase in sales tax revenue over the last few months. In addition, residential construction
and property values remain steady. We expect the economy will improve during the course of
the coming fiscal year considering the completion of construction on Rufe Snow Drive and
the Rufe Snow Bridge, the addition of new businesses, adding wine sales in many stores as
a result of the election held earlier this year, and other positive indicators in North Richland
Hills. .
The Proposed Budget does not include any rate or fee increases for next fiscal year.
However, staff is currently completing a Utility Rate Study in conjunction with an update to the
City's water master plan which could result in changes to utility rates. We expect to bring
recommendations of the Utility Rate S.tudy to the City Council for consideration this fall, with
implementation of any rate changes planned for winter 2004 to reduce the impact on utility
customers. In addition, the City will not know the final cost to purchase water from the Trinity
River Authority and the City of Fort Worth until these entities complete their budget processes
later this year. We anticipate an increase in the pass through rate as .piscussed in a previous
section of this letter, which could result in a fee increase. Staff will plan to present this
information to the City Council this fall along with results of the Utility Rate Study.
Finally, the proposed budget is based on maintaining the current $0.57 property tax rate. If
approved by the Council, this will be the 12th consecutive year for maintaining this rate.
Summary and Conclusion
The City budget is a plan of services and programs for the coming fiscal year, which is the
end result of several months of work and coordination among all City departments and many
dedicated, professional City employees. The City Council sets the course for this plan of
services by establishing goals and priorities for the coming year. The policies set by the
Council guide City staff as we prepare a financial plan, or budget, that will allow us to
implement these policies. The preliminary budget undergoes a significant amount of scrutiny
from Department Directors, the Budget Department, and City Management. This year has
been especially challenging as the City continues to face challenges as a result of the slow
local economy, and we could not have met this challenge and presented a balanced budget
without the hard work of each of these individuals. I am grateful for the time they have spent
reviewing and preparing the plan of work we are proposing for the 2004/2005 fiscal year.
The following is a general overview of what the Proposed Budget entails:
· Continuation of the Preventive Street Maintenance Program;
· Increase in the legal budget for litigation costs;
· Increase in sales tax revenues of 0.5% over the revised current year budget;
XXIX
· Continuation of the Merit Pay System;
· Continuation of the Market Adjustment Plan;
· Staffing a 3rd front line ambulance with the addition of 6 firefighter/paramedics;
· Increasing park maintenance staff with the addition of 4 park maintenance workers in
the Park & Recreation Facilities Development Fund;
· Strategy to address rising medical costs and rebuild health insurance reserves;
· Reduce 4 full time positions; .
· Reduce hours of operation at the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center;
· Reduce hours of Records Division in the Police Department;
· Reduce Pay-As-You-Go Reserves for small capital projects.
I am grateful for this City Council and your exceptional leadership and foresight in
communicating priorities to Management. As a result of your vision for the future, staff has
been able to insure that the City is providing those programs that you, the policy makers and
elected representatives of the citizens of North Richland Hills, feel are the priorities. The time
each member of the City Council has spent establishing goals for the City and reviewing the
issues is well spent and much appreciated. Your dedication to North Richland Hills and its
citizens is worthy of praise. The proposed budget is intended to be an accurate reflection of
what the Council endeavors to accomplish in the coming fiscal year, and this plan of work will
serve as a road map that will lead our City through another successful year.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Crime Control & Prevention District Board of Directors
City of North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills, Texas
The Crime Control and Prevention District was originally approved by voters in February
1996 establishing the district for five years. The voters approved a district Board of
Directors that is made up of seven City Council members. A continuation referendum
was held on May 5, 2001, re-authorizing the District for 10 years. Continuation of the
collection of a half-cent sales tax was approved as the funding mechanism by which the
City would provide improved Police services to the citizens of North Richland Hills.
Goals and Strategies of the District include:
1. Reduce response time to calls for service;
2. Reduce occurrence of call stacking;
3. Increase officer visibility;
4. Enhance crime-fighting tools through new equipment and updated technology;
5. Reduce gang-related activity.
To accomplish these goals the following resources were provided:
1. Addition of sworn and support personnel;
2. Upgrading of compensation plan to retain and attract highly qualified police
personnel;
3. New Equipment - vehicles and computers;
4. Necessary training and other operating costs.
When the District was implemented; the District Board and the City Council indicated
that future increases in operating expenses for the Police Department and any
additional programs or services would be paid by the Crime Control District so that
improved Police services would not adversely impact the property tax rate.
In July of 1996, the District began collecting sales tax. At that time a Transition Reserve
was established to lessen the impact in the event the continuation referendum did not
pass in 2001. The City will continue with the Transition Fund as a reserve for operations

in the event that the District is not reauthorized in 2011. The estimated accumulated
Reserve for Transition as of September 30, 2004 will be approximately $2.8 million.
Original sales tax projections estimated collections of approximately $3.5 million
annually. Based on these projections, by the end of fiscal year 2004 the District should
have collected approximately $28.9 million in sales taxes. Based on actual collections
in fiscal years 1996 through 2003 and projected collections for fiscal year 2004, total
estimated collections as of September 30, 2004 would be approximately $31.1 million.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Since July 1996, many positive results have been realized in answer to the goals
established by the District.
· The department responded to 114,525 calls for service in fiscal year 2003 as
compared to 91,291 calls for service in fiscal year 1996, a 25.5% increase.
· Total arrests in 2003 were up from 1996 by 1,863, a 59% increase.
· Total charges in 2003 were up from 1996 by 4,677, a 58%· increase.
· During fiscal year 2003, Part I Crimes have decreased 7.9% over fiscal year 2002.
· Total violations issued were up by 89% from 1996 through 2003.
· Average response times for priority 1 calls have decreased by 5 minutes and 02
seconds from 1996 through June 30, 2004.
· During fiscal year 2003, case clearance rates have improved by 10.1 % over fiscal
year 2002.
RESOURCES ADDED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DATE
Because of the Crime Control District, the City has been able to add resources for
police services since 1996 in the following areas:
1. $16.2 million tq pay for salaries and benefits for 45 new police personnel,
including 27 police officers, two detectives, 16 support personnel, and an
upgraded compensation plan for all sworn police personnel.
2. Funding for a .new $1.8 million Public Safety Computer System ($1.1 million
funded by C.C.D.).
3. Approximately $300,000 for other capital projects such as renovations of the
dispatch area and improvements to the Police Property and Evidence Project.
4. Funding in the amount of $1.3 million for 25 new vehicles and 12 refurbished
vehicles.
ii
5. Contributed approximately $823,603 to the city vehicle replacement plan.
6. Funding of $93,000 for radios and crime scene equipment.
2004/2005 PROPSED BUDGET
The 2004-2005 Crime Control and Prevention District budget provides for the
continuation of the upgraded compensation plan and salaries and benefits, supplies,
training, equipment maintenance for 45 police personnel including 27 police officers,
two detectives and 16 support staff.
Given the current state of the economy and the decline in sales tax revenues, there are
no new programs in the 2004-2005 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget.
~........'.....:'....:...".

It is recommended that the CCD Transition Fund remain intact over the ten-year
life of the District. The goal is to add to the fund so that a balance of
approximately $2.95 million or two-thirds of projected operations for one year is
available at the end of the ten-year period. In fiscal year 2001, the City Council
established a policy that the Transition Fund not be used to supplement on-going
operations, but may be borrowed from time to time but loans should be repaid.
Given the continued decline in sales tax revenues, there is a need to utilize the
Transition Reserve Fund to assist with operations in 2004-2005. The Transition
Fund will be replenished as the economy improves. We believe that this reflects
prudent use of these funds.
Because sales tax collections are lower than projected due to the economic
downturn, the revised 2003-2004 CCD budget includes an increase in the loan of
$329,000. The City Council approved a loa.n from the Transition Fund in the
current year budget of $331,168. The increase in the loan from the Transition
Fund to assist with operations was necessary because actual sales tax
collections in the current year have been below projected revenues. As this is a
loan, the Transition Fund will be replenished in the future so the long term
funding goal is not jeopardized.
SUMMARY
Many accomplishments have been achieved with the addition of the half-cent sales tax
for the Crime Control and Prevention District. Improvements have been made in
handling criminal and other police service increases. Positive impacts have been made
in response times, and reductions of burglaries and auto thefts have resulted. A state of
the art computer system has been acquired and installed to provide officers the ability to
respond, conduct investigations and communications, and retrieve critical information in
a more timely and efficient manner. A significant improvement in our compensation
plan was provided through this funding that has not only helped retain quality police
iii
professionals, but also to attract quality personnel. The establishment of a Transition
Fund, projected at $2.8 million in 2004, will provide a sound financial basis in future
planning. A ten-year plan has been established that includes provisions for the salary
plan, and funds for vehicle replacement over the next ten years. Even though we
anticipate borrowing from the Transition Fund while sales taxes are down, we are
optimistic that sales tax revenues will rebound in the future, thus allowing us to rebuild
the transition reserve closer to the level of our goal of 2/3 of annual expenditures.
We estimate sales tax numbers to remain relatively flat in the coming year, and will
monitor collections closely adjusting the CCD budget as appropriate.
For the coming year, the following ongoing efforts to continue originally stated goals are
recommended:
· Comprehensive Evaluation of Crime Control District Mission, Accomplishments,
"Operations and Programs;
. Planning for Future Needs;
· . ·Fleet Assessment;
We appreciate the opportunity that the voters have given us to continue this Crime
Control and Prevention District program. You have entrusted us to be good stewards of
these funds, and use them in the most cost effective manner to accomplish the Goals of
the City Council. We look forward to working with you in the coming years to make this
the most successful program possible.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills, Texas
The proposed Capital Projects Budget for Fiscal Year 2004/2005 is submitted herein.
This budget identifies major projects and items not included directly in the Annual
Operating Budget. The Capital Projects Budget provides for major long-life equipment
used in daily operations, and funding for the construction and renovation of major
facilities and infrastructure. Primary sources of funding for these projects are: General
Obligation Bonds, Certificates of Obligation, Transfers from Operating Funds, Revenue
Bonds, Permanent Street Maintenance Capital Funds, Park and Recreation half-cent
Sales Tax Funds, Capital Reserve Funds, and Federal and State grants.
The proposed Capital Projects Budget for 2004/2005 totals $33,432,430. This budget
contains new and continuing projects in all areas of City operations. Some projects
were selected following City Council budget discussions, others were authorized by
voters during past bond elections, and still others were identified by City departmental
evaluation and examination of needs.
The City Council has recognized the importance of dedicating funds on an annual basis
to enhance the City's efforts for the major repair and preventive maintenance of City
streets by authorizing the creation of a Permanent Street Maintenance Fund. With over
21:3 miles of streets and their aging, it is important to conduct preventive maintenance
that will delay more costly street reconstruction and extend the life of the current street
system. The proposed 2004/2005 level of fundinq is $600,000. These funds will allow
us to improve the overall condition of approximately 55 streets to include complete
resurfacing of 16 lane miles. The City Council also recognizes the importance of
dedicating funds on an annual basis to improve City sidewalks. This project constructs
new sidewalks in high pedestrian areas of the City. The proposed 2004/2005 level of
funding for this project is $50,000, and the source of funding is previously approved
allocations from the General Fund "pay-as-you-go" Capital Projects Reserve.
The Reserve for Capital Projects was established by the City Council in 1998/1999 as a
"pay-as-you-go" way to address smaller capital improvement needs. It has collected
approximately $2.9 million since inception. The proposed 2004/2005 Reserve is
$150,000.

In order to protect the City's $22 million investment in facilities and $14 million
investment in equipment, staff has updated the ten-year Equipment Replacement and
Building Services Plan, which City Council approved in 1996/1997. Additionally, citizens
voted to approve a bond package for City infrastructure/facility improvements valued at
approximately $40 million in February 2003. The proposed 2004/2005 CIP Budget
includes appropriation requests for street, drainage,.and facility improvements for 14 of
the 29 approved projects. The proposed budget also includes three street projects,
which were added to the overall program in the 2003/2004 revised CIP Budget.
The City Council has shown its commitment to this community by continuing to ensure
the maintenance and appearance of our City facilities. I want to thank Council for their
efforts to communicate to management their priorities for the capital budget. City staff
will continue to monitor the condition of all our infrastructure and facilities and make
recommendations based on needs and available resources in the Annual Capital
Projects Budget.
Respectfully submitted,
~

Subject: Resolution to submit to the Texas Municipal Leaque
Regarding Telecommunications Discounts for Libraries
and Schools- Resolution No. 2004-053
Agenda Number: GN 2004-074
The Public µtilities Regulatory Act of 1995 (H.B. 2128) was passed by the Texas
Legislature offered regulated local telephone utilities the opportunity to elect deregulation
of some of their services. In exchange for the benefits of deregulation, the electing
companies are required to provide certain advanced telecommunications services to
libraries and schools, including T-1 and DS-3 lines, at a discounted price' and with no
installation charge. These lines provide libraries and schools with high speed information
access across the State.
The Public Utilities Act of 1995 provided for these discounts to continue until August of
2005. Without action by the Legislature during the next legislative session, these
discounts will expire.
\
What the Resolution is Intended to Accomplish:
The resolution is intended to seek support in conjunction with other interested parties to
help ensure that these discounts will be provide to libraries and schools in the future. By
gaining the support of other Texas municipalities through the TML, we hope to encourage
the Texas State Legislature to support legislation that would extend and continue these
discounts.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 2004-053 requesting TML support of legislation on
telecommunications discounts to libraries and schools.

WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Regulatory Act of 1995 (H.B. 2128) offered the
regulated local telephone utilities, also called Incumbent Local Exchange
Companies or ILECs, the opportunity to elect deregulation of some of their

WHEREAS, without action by the Legislature these discounts will expire in
August 2005, and
WHEREAS, without these discounts many Texas libraries and schools would

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of North Richland
Hills that the City encourages the State Legislature to extend and continue these
discounts through legislation in order to maintain these critically important
telecommunications discounts to insure the continuation of high speed

Opposing Additional Data Collection Requirements to the
Texas Racial Profiling Law- Resolution No. 2004-054
Senate Bill 1074 of the 77th Legislature established requirements in the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure for law enforcement agencies regarding racial profiling. The Texas
Racial Profiling Law requires that all police departments in the state collect traffic-related
data and report this information to their local governing authority. The purpose in
collecting and presenting this information is to determine if a police officer is engaging in
the practice of profiling minority motorists.
Since becoming effective, the North Richland Hills Police Department has collected
citation-based contact data for the purpose of identifying and addressing concerns
regarding racial profiling practice among police officers. The City of North Richland Hills
does not agree with the practice of racial profiling or any other practice that unfairly targets
individuals. .
What the Resolution is Intended to Accomplish: The resolution is intended to seek support
in conjunction with other interested parties to oppose the addition of more data collection
requirements to the Texas Racial Profiling Law. The Police Department is concerned that
any new data collection requirements would lessen police activity by adding more
coUection requirements. By gaining the support of other Texas municipalities through the
TML, cities would be able to encourage the State Legislature to oppose any additional
requirements.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 2004.()54 requesting TML to oppose additional data collection
requirements to the Texas Racial Profiling Law.

WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills does not agree with the practice of
racial profiling or any other practice that unfairly targets individuals, and
WHEREAS, the North Richland Hills Police Department has placed high value in

WHEREAS, adding new data collecting requirements concerning racial profiling
would increase the time needed to complete a stop and therefore leading to
slower response times or other negative affects, and
WHEREAS, increasing collection requirements would add additional expenses,
both time and monetary, in terms of compiling, maintaining and analyzing the
data to ensure compliance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of North Richland
Hills that the City is in opposition to changes the Texas Racial Profiling Law that
would lessen police activity by adding more collection requirements.

Opposing Changes to Sales Tax Law that Promotes
Point-Of-Destination Sales Tax Sourcing- Resolution No. 2004-055
The Streamline' Sales Tax Project (SSTP), as it was originally conceived, was intended to
be a way for states and cities to collect sales taxes on remote sales, such as catalogue
and Internet purchases. Under the SSTP, states would agree to "streamline" their sales
tax statutes, making them look similar to one another in order to alleviate federal concerns
over the patchwork nature of states' sales tax laws. "Streamlining," it was believed, would
give the U.S. Congress an incentive to pass legislation authorizing the imposition of state
and local sales taxes on remote sales.
Texas citie!) initially supported the SSTP as it did not affect sales tax sourcing for intrastate
transactions, maintaining a point-of..origin system. Unfortunately, the proposed legislation
that emerged from the SSTP reversed cities' prior understanding that nothing in the
legislation would affect intrastate sales tax law. In its latest form, the Streamlined
Agreement would require all participating states to adopt point-of-destination sales tax
sourcing for intrastate sales as well as interstate sales.
\.;-..,
Because of city objections to the sourcing change, it was not addressed in the 2003 bill
that the 78th Texas Legislature passed to enact most of the Streamlined Agreement.
Rather than enacting the sourcing change, H.B. 2425 charged the state comptroller with
conducting a study of the impact of the sourcing change on local govemments. The
results of that study are expected in December 2004.
Whatthe Resolution is Intended to Accomplish: The resolution is intended to seek support
in conjunction with other interested parties to oppose changes to State sales tax sourcing
that promotes a point-of-destination system. A point-of-destination sourcing system would
have negative impacts to sales tax revenues. By gaining the support of other Texas
municipalities through the TML, cities would be able to protect the current point-of-origin
sourcing system.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution No. 2004-055. requesting TML to oppose changes to sales tax law that
promotes point-of-destination sales tax sourcing.

OPPOSING CHANGES TO SALES TAX LAW THAT PROMOTES POINT-OF-
DESTINATION SALES TAX SOURCING
WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills provides services through the
collection of sales taxes, and
WHEREAS, sales taxes currently makes up 25% of the City's general operating
budget, and
WHEREAS, current sales tax sourcing operates in a point-of-origin nature, and
WHEREAS, philosophy shifts in the Streamlined Sales Tax Project have
changed from point-of-origin to point-of-destination sales tax sourcing, and
WHEREAS, changes to sales tax sourcing to point-of-destination would result in
detrimental losses to the City's revenues, and
WHEREAS, the State Comptroller is currently studying of the impact of the
sourcing change on local governments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
Section 1. The City of North Richland Hills opposes any change to sales tax
sourcing that promotes point-of-destination, as it would negatively
affect our tax base.
Section 2. The City of North Richland Hills encourages the Texas Legislature to
oppose any change to sales tax sourcing that would negatively affect
revenue sources.
