INFORMAL REPORT TO MA VOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 2005-109
~

V Subject:
August 22, 2005
Review Grant for Traffic Signal Timing Plans for Rufe Snow Drive and
Holiday Lane
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has implemented a regional
project called the Thoroughfare Assessment Program (TAP). The goal of this program (TAP) is
to maximize the capacity of the existing roadway system by improving traffic operations through
signal timing and implementation of low-cost operational improvements along selected corridors.
NCTCOG is requesting that municipalities that are interested in submitting a corridor for
consideration to do so by 5:00 p.m., August 26, 2005. .
The City has been making operational improvements to all of its major corridors during the past
few years. There are currently two corridors that have not been retimed that may be eligible for
this program. They are the Rufe Snow Drive and Holiday Lane corridors. Even though these
two locations are identified in the currently approved 2004-2005 Capital Projects Budget (Signal
Timing and Equipment Upgrades -2004) and funding is available, staff believes that one or both
corridors may be eligible for TAP. If selected the City could substantially reduce the estimated
$75,000 currently approved.
The only known drawback in participating in this program is a delay in retiming these corridors.
Staff is currently ready to recommend award of an agreement to begin the timing of Rufe Snow
Drive and Holiday Lane. ,If we participate we will need to wait .approximately two months in
order to find out if our locations are selected for the program. If selected, NCTCOG will
administer the project and the City will just need to pay a 20% local match. ~
Staff believes this would be an opportunity to reduce the City's cost of this project and is in favor
of submitting Rufe Snow Drive and Holiday Lane to NCTCOG for consideration. But since this
will cause ,some delay to the project, staff wanted to get consensus from Council as to how to
proceed. .

CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Trevino called the Council Budget Work Session to order July 29, 2005 at 9:06 a.m.

accomplishments achieved by the departments over the past year, gave the economic outlook
and advised of assumptions used to prepare the proposed budget. Mr. Cunningham reviewed
highlights of the proposed budget. The proposed budget includes no reductions in services or
service levels, no employee lay-offs or reductions, a collection rate of 99% of property taxes,
maintains the property tax rate of 57¢, a forecast of 60/0 decrease in sales taxes, only
mandated and highly crucial service/program enhancements are recommended, and an
e increase in water and sewer rates as recommended by the Utility Rate Study recently
presented to Council. Proposed are the implementation of the following changes and cost
savings measures: reprioritization of non-emergency equipment replacements, reprioritization
Council Budget Work Session Minutes

Page 2 of 7
e of building capital equipment and maintenance projects, reprioritization of technology
replacements and upgrades, funding a portion of the Preventive Street Maintenance Program
with project savings and interest earnings and reducing the contribution to the Pay-As-You-Go
Capital Reserves. It is not believed that the recommended cost savings will adversely impact
overall services during the next fiscal year and the intent is to resume the projects when the
local economy improves. Service enhancements being recommended are 1) the replacement
of the postage machine (a mandated cost and part of the 2004/2005 revised budget); 2)
implementing the 2003 International Building Code (a mandated cost); 3) professional services
for phases 2 and 3 of the Property Protection Classification Rating Analysis; 4) the addition of
a school crossing guard at the New Walker Creek Elementary School; and 5) a walk-in freezer
expansion at the Animal Shelter. No changes to the City's health insurance program are
planned in the next fiscal year but an increase in employee premiums to address rising
healthcare costs and to help rebuild Reserve Funds is anticipated. Council was advised that
the use of the reserves was justifiable and prudent, but that the reserves needed to be
restored as soon as practicable.
Mr. Corn presented a PowerPoint presentation explaining the General Fund and the
departments and reyenue categories included in the General Fund. A brief overview was

appraised values. The July 25 appraised values are higher than the May forecast resulting in
additional dollars from the increase in net taxable value. Council was provided with updated
Schedules 1-4 showing the additional dollars based on the increase in value. Mr. Cunningham
suggested the additional dollars be used for the restoration of the general fund balance as

Expenditures Summaries with Staff responding to questions.

Koonce explained how the ambulance bad debts are budgeted and how they are written
off.
Mr. Cunningham pointed out that with the new State law, the City is able to assess a fee
to fund the Teen Court case manager's salary. Council inquired as to the number of
teen court violations filed. Council asked that an update be provided at a Pre-Council
meeting.

concurred with replacing it with a larger unit.

donations received in their Performance Measures while the Bursey Road Senior
Center showed donations received in their performance measures outputs. Staff will

Mr. Jimmy Cates, Public Works Operations Manager, presented a PowerPoint
presentation of a proposed Roadway Memorial Marker Program. Mr. Cates advised
council the purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for the uniform placement of
memorial markers within the street rights-of-way to: memorialize people who have died
as a result of a vehicle-related accident on city maintained streets in the City of North
Richland Hills; raise public awareness of the need for safe driving practices; and ensure
uniformity of memorial markers on public rights-of-way. Mr. Cates advised requests for
memorial markers within street rights-of-way shall be submitted in writing to the
Operations Manager, North Richland Hills Public Works Department. Requests may be
submitted by immediate family members or friends or requests from friends with
required written approval of the deceased's immediate family. Requests must be made
within a year of the incident with consideration being given for difficult circumstances.
Mr. Cates advised only one memorial marker per incident shall be erected with the cost
of the marker sign being paid by the requesting person(s). The installation,
maintenance and removal of memorial marker will be the responsibility of the City of
North Richland Hills. Memorial markers shall not be installed within the limits of active
maintenance zones and will b~ located at the back edge of the mowing limits. In the
case for urban area curb and gutter sections, the memorial marker may not necessarily
be placed at the exact location of the fatality due to restricted space/right-of-way,
property owner complaints, sight distance or other constraints. The exact location will
be at the discretion of the Public Works Operations Manager. The memorial marker
shall remain in place and be maintained by the City for a minimum of two (2) years. If
after two (2) years the memorial marker has been removed for any reason, it may be
replaced by following the initial request procedure. Memorial markers installed by
private citizens and outside of this policy shall be deemed to be in violation of this
policy. All such installation shall be immediately removed by North Richland Hills Public
Works. Mr. Cates advised multiple memorial markers would not be allowed.
Mayor Trevino asked if Council wanted Staff to proceed with development of the
program. The consensus of the Council was for Staff to move forward with the
development of the program and to bring back to Council for approval.
3. IR 2005-104 Presentation by John Baen. Ph. D. Regarding Oil and Gas Drilling
Dr. John Baen, Professor of Real Estate at the University of North Texas, discussed
with Council his cost benefit analysis, ad valorem tax benefits and impacts of oil and
gas drilling on municipal property. Mr. Baen responded to Council questions on drilling,
pad sites, production, safety, and environmental impact.
After discussion of Agenda Item 4, the Mayor returned to Item 3. Mayor Trevino
commented that land use and zoning issues would be involved and Council needed to

Mr. David Cole, applicant, who resides at 4902 Colleyville Boulevard, presented his
case to the council, responded to concern~ outlined in the petition and disputed
comment made by Planning and Zoning Commission member Randy Shiflet regarding
whether Clift street could support the weight of emergency vehicles. Mr. Cole advised
council he has a letter from the Fire Department refuting Mr. Shiflet's comment. Mr.
Cole advised council the Planning and Zoning Chair advised R-2 makes sense but can
not schedule plat until applicant is able to present plat with five lots to the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Mr. Cole advised if Council were to approve R-2 he would be
willing to present five lots to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Chief Planner Dave Green summarized case and advised council staff had received a
petition of opposition with signatures from 46.8% of the owners within 200' of the
proposed site. A petition of 200/0 or more of the land within 200' of a zoning request
requires a favorable vote of three-fourths of present members of the council to approve
zoning change request.
Council discussed the options and legality of changing zoning to R-1 for this property.
Mr. Green advised council the request was advertised for R-2, but the council could
approve something less intense and dense, but staff would need separate descriptions
of each lot.
Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to speak in favor of request to come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino asked for anyone wishing to

the grant funds. No City funding is required to administer the contract.
NETS provides on-call transportation service to the elderly and disabled in many cities in
northeast Tarrant County. The primary focus of the service is to provide transportation to
places of employment and medical appointments. The contract for the grant agreement
becomes effective September 1, 2005, or as soon as it is executed, and expires August
31, 2006. This contract does not effect the City's budgeted participation in the NETS

City of Keller - Resolution No. 2005-059
The City of Keller is requesting to enter into an interlocal purchasing agreement with the
City for the purchase of goods and services from vendors selected through the competitive
bidding process. The City of Keller is interested in purchasing from the City of North
Richland Hills contracts such as the document imaging and aquatic chemical supply. This
agreement will be mutually beneficial to Keller and North Richland Hills because
purchasing larger quantities will reduce the overall expense to each agency. Each agency
will place their orders and pay the vendors directly. North Richland Hills or the City of
Keller may change or cancel the agreement with a 3D-day written agreement.
The City currently participates in interlocal agreements with several area cities. Some of
the agreements are with the City of Fort Worth for the purchase of fuel, Tarrant County for
the purchase of office supplies and the City of Hurst for the purchase of auto parts.

Council Meeting Date: 8/22/05
Subject: Conduct Public HearinQ on Proposed Tax Rate
Agenda Number: GN 2005-082
Senate Bill 18 that was passed during the regular 79th Session of the Texas Legislature
made several changes to the way the tax rate must be adopted. One of the changes is the
requirement to hold two public hearings on the proposed property tax rate if the proposed
rate exceeds the effective tax rate. Because the proposed rate of 57¢ is higher than the
effective tax rate of 56.0655¢, we must hold two public hearings. Tonight's hearing is the
first of the two required hearings. Senate Bill 18 also has very specific requirements on
how to publish notice of the public hearings. Notice of the public hearings was duly posted
in the Northeast Section of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on August 12, 2005 per state
law. Senate Bill 18 also requires us to phrase the notice of public hearing on the tax rate
as a "tax increase" because the proposed tax rate is above the effective tax rate. As you
may remember, the effective tax rate is basically the property tax rate necessary to
produce the same amount of property tax revenues as the prior year. The second of the
required public hearings is scheduled for September 12, 2005.
The tax rate is scheduled to be adopted on September 26, 2005 during the regular 7:00
pm City Council meeting. The proposed tax rate for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 is 57¢. If
adopted, this will be the thirteenth consecutive year the City has maintained a 57¢ tax rate.
.
Individual taxpayers' property taxes may decrease, increase or stay the same depending
on the appraised value of their property. Per the Tarrant Appraisal District, as of August
11, 2005, 202 single family residential properties had values that decreased as compared
to last year, 3,859 have increased and 11 ,907 have stayed the same. With the exception
of senior and disabled property owners, this will affect property taxes accordingly. There
are currently 2,809 senior property owners and 284 disabled property owners who have a
tax ceiling; even if their property values have increased they will pay the same amount of
property tax as the previous year.
The City of North Richland Hills is proud of the progress we have made while
demonstrating sound financial management of our Citizen's tax dollars.
Recommendation:
To open the public hearing and receive public comments on the proposed 57¢ tax rate and
announce September 26, 2005 as the date of the tax rate adoption

Subject: Approve Roadway Safety Awareness Marker Policy - Agenda Number: GN2005-083
Resolution No. 2005-060
Staff is frequently required to remove graffiti and non-conforming signs from street rights-of-way
and drainage structures as it is unsightly and often unsafe. Graffiti and non-conforming signs,
whether they be associated with pranks or with incidents as serious as fatality accidents have
the tendency to encourage others to place additional graffiti in other locations of the City. Many
times the graffiti just creates maintenance issues for staff, but depending on the type, size and
location of the graffiti unsafe conditions such as reduced site distance could be created. Staff
therefore tak~s a zero tolerance position on any graffiti or non-conforming signs placed within
public rights-of-way.
The Roadway Safety Awareness Marker Policy presented for Council consideration will provide
staff an additional way to minimize graffiti and non-conforming markers. It also provides the
opportunity for very tragic incidents, such as fatality accidents, to serve as positive reminders to
drivers of the importance of roadway safety awareness. This policy has two primary purposes:
1. Raise public awareness of the need for safe driving; and
2. Minimize graffiti and non-conforming signs.
The policy allows immediate family members to make a request for a safety awareness sign at
a location where a fatality accident has occurred. All requests will be reviewed by a designated
staff member, the Public Works Operations Manager. If in the opinion of the Public Works
Operations Manager the request meets the intent of the policy, a safety awareness sign will be
allowed. All denials by staff may be appealed to the City Council for a final decision.
The policy also allows for different "safety awareness" phrases to be indicated on the sign. For
example, the sign may read "Drive Safely," "Drive Friendly," "Wear Seatbelts," or "Don't Drink
and Drive." The name of the deceased may be added to the sign if requested by an immediate
family member.
The attached policy does not include provisions to allow a distinction to be made between the
cause or fault of the accident. Staff's primary purpose is to raise public awareness of safe
driving independent of the cause or fault of the accident. Staff will be available for questions.
Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2005-060.

made aware of the reasons for the chosen marker location.
G. The marker shall remain in place and be maintained by the City for a
minimum of two (2) years unless it becomes necessary to remove it. If

replaced by following the initial request procedure. The City will have the
right to remove any safety awareness marker after the two (2) year period.

Multiple incidents at a location will be reviewed by staff to determine the
appropriate safety awareness marker. Multiple markers will not be
allowed.

Works Operations Manager. A request may be denied if in the opinion of
the Public Works Operations Manager it does not meet the intent of this
policy. All denied requests may be appealed to the City Council during an
official City Council Meeting.
K. Safety awareness markers may indicate "Drive Safely", "Drive Friendly"
"Wear Seatbelts" or "Don't Drink and Drive". The exact sign will be
coordinated with the requesting party, but final approval will be made by

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Finance
Council Meeting Date: 08/22/2005
Subject: Award of Contract for Professional AuditinQ Services to
Patillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P. - Resolution No. 2005-061
Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P. has performed the audit for the City of North Richland Hills for the
last five years. While the City does not have a policy mandating the periodic rotation of
auditors, management believes that it is good practice to request proposals periodically to
ensure the City is receiving the best possible audit services. Prior to this occasion, the last
time the City requested proposals for auditing services was in 2000. On June 9, 2005 the City
requested proposals for Professional Auditing Services from local, regional, and national
accounting firms by direct mail and newspaper advertisement. The proposal specifications
were prepared by staff to ensure conformance with nationally accepted governmental auditing
standards while promoting and protecting the interests of the City of North Richland Hills. The
proposal described relevant aspects of the audit process from start to finish. The term 'of the
engagement will be for fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007 with two optional one-year renewals.
Services to be provided include, but are not limited to, the annual audit of the City's financial
statements, review and printing of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, State and
Federal Grant auditing and reporting, and compliance testing of the requirements of the Texas
Public Funds Investment Act as amended.
Agenda Number: PU 2005-035
The proposals submitted by each firm were separated into two major components: a Technical
Proposal describing the proposing firm in depth and their audit management approach and a
Sealed Dollar Cost Proposal that contained the cost of services for the first three years of the
proposed contract. The following firms submitted proposals: Deloitte & Touche; Patillo, Brown
& Hill; Rylander, Clay & Opitz; and, Weaver and Tidwell.
The proposals were evaluated using these major criteria: 1) mandatory elements such as
independence and audit quality; 2) technical qualifications such as experience and expertise
and audit approach; 3) ability to meet the City's deadlines; and, 4) cost of services.
The proposals were reviewed by a five member Proposal Review Committee comprised of:
80 Bass, Assistant City Manager
Larry Koonce, Director of Finance
Jackie Theriot, Accounting Manager
Toni VanHooser, Accountant II
Fred Werner, Director of Finance, City of Grapevine

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
After careful review and consideration of all the critical elements involved, the committee
concluded the best proposal was submitted by the accounting firm of Patillo, Brown & Hill,
L.L.P. of Waco. The firm's proposal offered quality services at the best price. As such, the
committee recommends award of the contract to Patillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P. The firm has
extensive experience in municipal auditing and ranked high in all technical areas of
evaluation. They are curr~ntly serving over 100 governmental clients. Their references
include, but are not limited to, the City of Waco, the City of Duncanville, the City of
Colleyville, the City of San Marcos and several counties including Collin County and
Denton County. Patillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P. also submitted the lowest three-year cost of
services proposal. The three-year cost of services proposals for each firm were as follows:
Patillo, Brown & Hill
Weaver and Tidwell
Rylander, Clay & Opitz
Deloitte & Touche
$228,000
$233,656
$236,260
$306,822
For the fiscal year 2005 audit, $101 ,500 was budgeted for external audit services. The
cost quoted by Patillo, Brown & Hill L.L.P. for the 2005 audit of $75,000 results in budget
savings of $26,500. Should a Single Audit not be required for 2005, only the costs for the
financial audit ($67,280) will be incurred resulting in an additional savings of $7,720.
The contract gives the City the right to review the auditor's performance each year.
Acceptable performance reviews will be necessary to continue auditing services the
following year.

Department: Information Services Council Meeting Date: 8/22/2005
Subject: Authorize Purchase of PubHc Safety Software from Agenda Number: PU 2005-036
Compudyne Public Safety and Justice, Inc. in the amount
of $427,020 - Resolution No. 2005-062
At the March 23, 1998 meeting, Council approved the purchase of the Tiburon Public
Safety system, a "turn key" public safety system for both Police and Fire. The system
implementation was completed in 1999 and has not been upgraded since that time. The
Tiburon system functions as the primary means for the Police and Fire Departments
automated dispatch, which provides responders relevant information regarding the incident
in which they are responding. It is also used for case and records management, crime
analysis, research and reporting.
The Tiburon system upgrade was approved by Council in the current Capital Projects
Budget. The upgrade will increase system performance for both software and hardware.
Additionally, several enhancements to the system will increase productivity both in the field
and office. As an example, WebQuery reporting will increase productivity by allowing the
Police and Fire Departments instant access to data from any City web browser. The
robust functionality of the new reporting system will allow Police and Fire to provide better
quality and faster service for citizen requests and will reduce redundant data entry.
.
Because we are upgrading an existing system and Compudyne is the only vendor we can
purchase the upgrade from, this will be a sole source purchase. The Local Government
Code states that sole source purchases do not require solicitation of bids or proposals. An
internal committee was formed to evaluate the proposed upgrade. The committee
consisted of members from the Information Services, Police and Fire departments. The
committee was very pleased with the additional functionality and increased performance of
the proposed upgrade and is recommending approval.
In conjunction with the software upgrade purchase, staff is recommending signing a
Master Support Agreement that extends the City's annual software maintenance with
Tiburon for the life of the purchase. Software maintenance for Tiburon is budgeted in the
Information Services fund annually.
The Capital Projects Budget for the Tiburon upgrade is $650,000.
Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2005 - 062.

Safety System Upgrade from IBM Corporation in the Amount
of $84,566 - Resolution No. 2005-063
At the March 23, 1998 meeting, Council approved the purchase of the Tiburon Public
Safety system, a "turn key" public safety system for both Police and Fire. The system
implementation was completed in 1999 and has not been upgraded since that time. The
Tiburon system functions as the primary means for the Police and Fire Departments
automated dispatch, which provides responders relevant information regarding the incident
in which they are responding. It is also used for case and records management, crime
analysis, research and reporting.
The Tiburon system upgrade was approved by Council in the current Capital Projects
Budget. Staff requested Compudyne (Tiburon) to submit an upgrade proposal that
included the software upgrade and the hardware to support it, two IBM mid-range servers.
Additionally, staff requested State of Texas Department of Information Resource (DIR)
pricing from IBM Corporation for the hardware to support the Tiburon upgrade. The DIR
pricing for hardware provided by IBM is $84,566; $20,500 less than the proposal provided
by Compudyne.
By participating in the DIR cooperative purchasing program the City is meeting all State
competitive bidding requirements for this purchase. The Local Government Code states
that purchases made through a cooperative purchasing agreement satisfy any State law
that would require the City to solicit competitive bids. Participation in this program will be
cost effective to the City as well as save Staff time.
Staff recommends purchasing the IBM servers necessary to support the Tiburon Public
Safety system upgrade from IBM Corporation.
The Capital Projects Budget for the Tiburon upgrade is $650,000.

Council Meeting Date: 8/22/05
Subject: Conduct Public HearinQ on Proposed 2005-2006 BudQet Agenda Number: GN 2005-084
The budget work session to review the proposed 2005-2006 budget was held July 29-30,
2005. At the work session, City Council reviewed the operating funds budget, the capital
project funds budget, and the budgets for the Crime Control & Prevention District and the
Park & Recreation Facilities Development Corporation. Subsequent to this session, the
changes City Council requested have been included in the 2004-2005 Revised Budget and
in the 2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
The notice of public hearing was published in the Star Telegram newspaper in accordance
with State law and the City's Charter. The public hearing for the 2005-2006 Annual Budget
was advertised to be held during the regular 7:00 p.m. City Council meeting, August 22,
2005.
At the July 29-30, 2005 budget work session, the Crime Control District Board reviewed
the proposed 2005-2006 Crime Control & Prevention District Budget and recommended it
to Council in the amount of $4,702,633. The CCD Board will also conduct a public hearing

August 10, 2005
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills, Texas
As fiscal year 2005/2006 approaches, we are pleased to report the City continues to provide
quality services to our citizens and customers. The City of North Richland Hills has achieved
many accomplishments over the last year, and our service to citizens has once again set the
standard for our neighboring communities. Several programs including the Neighborhood
Initiative and Keep NRH Beautiful, have also earned statewide and national recognition. We
are proud of these accomplishments and will continue in 2005/2006 to provide excellent
services, and to successfully implement the goals and objectives set forth by the City Council,
with the resources we have available.
Preparing the proposed budget for fiscal year 2005/2006 has been challenging. The City
continues to be impacted by economic factors beyond our control. We have seen the
complete closure of North Hills Mall as preparations are made for its demolition and
redevelopment. A few large national retailers have downsized and closed their stores in our
community, while competing businesses continue to open in neighboring cities. As a result,
the local economy is not experiencing the recovery that we anticipated. Also, at the state
level major proposed changes to school finance, property taxes, sales tax and utility
franchises continues to cast a cloud of uncertainty over future budget planning.
Even with the negative economic forces, North Richland Hills maintains a strong property tax
base, healthy reserves, innovative leadership and excellent City services. We are
encouraged by several economic development projects that are on the horizon, including City
Walk at Calloway Creek and The Venue at Home Town. Also Tax Increment Financing
District #2 has generated enough revenue for us to begin the design of the new public library.
The design phase has already begun and construction is expected to begin in mid-2006, with
an estimated completion in late 2007.
The next fiscal year will be tough from a financial perspective and will result in some revisions
to our long-term plans, such as waiting on the purchase of some non-emergency vehicles
and equipment for one year. However, we are optimistic about the future. Thanks to the
visionary leadership of the City Council and their strategic Goals and Objectives, we are
confident we can continue to provide award winning programs and excellent services, as well
as some new service enhancements, with the limited resources available.
Direction: Goals and Values
The goals established by the City Council provide a clear vision for the future of North Rich-
land Hills and ensure that all members of the orgaoization are working toward the same
~ ~-
objectives. The goals are used to establish programs and policy, and also serve as a guide
. for developing the City's budget.
The current goals were established around six themes: quality of life, safety and security,
community development and revitalization, transportation, fiscal responsibility, and positive
City image. All plans and projects for the coming year have been evaluated and prioritized
based on meeting these goals. This is especially important, given our limited resources and
the anticipated decline in sales tax revenue for fiscal year 2005/2006.
1. SAFETY AND SECURITY - The City of North Richland Hills strives to be the
safest community in Tarrant County and to be prepared for potential natural and
man made disasters. Priority is placed on providing effective Police, Fire and
Emergency Medical Services and maintaining quick response times for
emergencies. The City will equip public safety employees with the tools they need
to be effective, including state of the art public safety communications. The City will
also work to improve its Property Protection Classification Rating from the
Insurance Service Organization, in an effort to lower property insurance rates for
residents and businesses. Efforts will also be made to enhance citizen education of
our public safety programs.
.
2. PRESERVE POSITIVE CITY IMAGE - The City of North Richland Hills is the City
of Choice for families to live, work and play. The City Council is committed to
maintaining a positive City image and reputation for being a great community.
Priority will be placed on communicating clearly and effectively with the public and
focusing on the City's successes through enhanced public information initiatives.
The City will also construct new public facilities, including a new library and
recreation center, to replace older facilities that have been outgrown.
3. QUALITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND REVITALIZATION - The City
Council recognizes that a strong economic environment is essential for the
community's long-term health. The City will work to promote local economic
growth, retain and attract quality businesses and support business development. A
focus will be placed on: completing and implementing the South Grapevine
Highway Study and Loop 820 Corridor Study; expediting the re-development of
North Hills Mall; and creating a commuter Rail Station Development Plan. The City
will also develop a strategy for building out the remaining vacant land in our
community, while improving the quality of older neighborhoods and infrastructure.
.
4. FINANCIAL STABILITY- The City Council is committed to getting the best value
for taxpayer dollars, and to ensure that we have the financial resources available to
invest in community priorities. To ensure long-term financial stability efforts will be
made to maximize grant funding, restore General Fund cash reserves, continue to
pay-as-you go where possible, and to update the City's long-range financial plan.
The City strives to maintain the AA bond rating or better and is committed to
holding the line on the current property tax rate.

5. QUALITY OF LIFE- To ensure that North Richland Hills remains a great City, we
will continue providing quality services that support the active lifestyles of our
residents. This includes maintaining our Parks & Recreation Programs at the
current high level, maintaining the Cultural Arts Program, expanding the Public Art
Program, completing construction of the 19-mile hike and bike trail system, and
completing and implementing the NRH20 Strategic Master Plan. It will be a priority
to continue to improve our highly recognized library and keep our municipal golf
course as a favorite for our residents and visitors. The City will also look for ways to
develop and maintain a sense of community, and to encourage volunteerism
among employees and residents through the continuation of programs such as the
Neighborhood Initiative.
6. EFFICIENT EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM - North Richland Hills
strives to provide improved traffic flow and mass transit opportunities for our
growing community. Focus will be given to local transportation projects, such as
the reconstruction and widening of Loop 820, as well as maintaining a leadership
role on regional transportation initiatives and regional rail issues.
As a supplement to these Goals, the City Council has 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

Employee of the Year for the City of North Richland Hills.
Accomplishments: Accountabilitv to Citizens
Employees have worked diligently during the past year to implement strategies necessary to
turn the City Council's goals into reality. Following are highlights of the many
accomplishments we have achieved:
Safety and Security
1. The Police Department successfully completed their goal of keeping response times for
priority 1 calls under 6 minutes and Priority 2 calls under 9 minutes. This year the Police
Department responded to Priority 1 calls in 5:09 minutes and Priority 2 calls in 7:39
minutes.

.
.
2. A total of 31 active Neighborhood Crime Watch Programs are now established in our
community and the Community Services Division of the Police Department continues to
actively promote Crime Watch and other crime prevention programs and initiatives.
3. The Police Department shared a grant with Tarrant County for Live Scan - an automated
inkless fingerprint system valued at $70,000. This system will connect to the Texas
Department of Public Safety automated fingerprint identification system in Austin. It will
allow the Police Department to more efficiently identify individuals involved in criminal
activity in our city. The system should be installed in the detention facility by the end of
2005.
4. The Fire Department responded to 4,160 calls for service, including 3,053 medical calls,
with an average response time of 5:01 minutes from October 2004 to June 2005.
5. The Fire Department hired 5 new Firefighter/Paramedics and placed the third frontline
ambulance in service as Medic 222. The third ambulance, located at Fire Station No.2,
allows the department to better respond to all parts of our growing community.
6. The Fire Department Certified 75 citizens into the Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT). The CERT members are ready to assist in times of emergency, and also
volunteer many hours on non-emergency projects and special events.
7. Municipal Court Security was enhanced. The solid wood doors at the entrance of the
court room were replaced with glass doors which allow the Marshals to see what is
happening inside the Courtroom. Security features were added to the Judge's bench and
a security camera was added to the safe area where cash is stored. The enhancements
were financed with Building Security Fees.
Preserve Positive City Image
1. The Neighborhood Initiative Program was honored with an Outstanding Achievement
Award from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. This program was also recognized by the
Points of Light Foundation for making a positive and lasting difference in the lives of
others.
2. Keep NRH Beautiful was presented the Governor's Community Achievement Award for its
exemplary overall effort to beautify and improve the community.
3. The City Council selected BRW Architects Inc. to begin design work for the new library
located in Home Town NRH. The design process is expected to be complete by mid-
2006, with construction to follow.
4. The Communications Department developed the NRH News & Notes Newsletter. The
newsletter is published monthly and distributed as an insert in the utility bills. This is a
cost effective way of communicating important information to all households in the
community.

5. Citicable increased programming with a new monthly program called RecXpress which
spotlights NRH recreation programs and features health and fitness tips from our very
own experts in the Parks and Recreation Department.
6. The City Secretary's Office completed the re-codification of City ordinances and
successfully moved the code of ordinances on-line. Citizens can now easily access the
Code of Ordinances 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the City Website at
www.nrhtx.com.
7. The Utility Billing Division added a "Contact Us" option to the City Website to provide
customers and residents easier access to discontinue service or contact the City
regarding billing questions.
Quality Community Development and Revitalization
1. The City issued 283 permits for new single family dwellings from October 2004 through
mid-July 2005. This new construction is valued at $55,531,031.
2. A new Economic Development Website was created to further promote the City and
attract new development. The site includes a business database, interactive maps and
demographic information. Users can access the website at www.nrhupclose.com.
3. Code Enforcement completed a survey and rating of all housing stock in North Richland
Hills. The survey allows Code Enforcement to know which houses need improvements
and what condition they are in to address future needs. This has helped us improve
neighborhoods and raise community standards.
4. The Neighborhood Initiative Program has completed 56 projects so far this fiscal year
compared to 33 projects in 2003/2004.
5. Code Enforcement continues its proactive and "less forceful" enforcement, reducing the
number of citations issued from 181 in the 2003/2004 fiscal year to 25 citations so far this
year. Rather than writing citations, code enforcement officers have been successful in
seeking voluntary compliance from residents. Employees offer assistance through the
Neighborhood Initiative Program to those who are unable to comply due to financial
reasons or other hardships.
6. The City of North Richland Hills is working with the City of Richland Hills to execute the
South Grapevine Highway branding and design project, including the renaming of South
Grapevine Highway. The project, which is nearing completion, will help stimulate the
redevelopment of this older part of our community.
7. The City executed the Loop 820 Corridor Study. The study will soon be complete and will
help with planning future land use, improved access and protection of residential
neighborhoods, as related to the future widening of Loop 820.

. Financially Stability
1. The 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial report received the Certificate of Achievement
for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officer's Association.
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental
accounting and financial reporting. The award represents the 21st consecutive year North
Richland Hills has received this distinguished award.
2. For the 14th year in a row, the City was presented the Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award from the Government Finance Officers Association. In addition, the City also
received special recognition for the Budget and Research Department's outstanding
presentation of capital information. Of the 1,196 cities in Texas eligible to receive the
award this year, only 96 Texas cities were awarded the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award and only three cities in the State received the Special Recognition
Award.
3. The City realized annual savings of approximately $17,000 from the new credit card
transaction processing agreement with Bank of America.
4. The Utility Customer Service and Purchasing Department worked together to upgrade the
water meter technology, which resulted in improved efficiency and cost savings.
.
5. Utility Customer Service met its meter reading and billing schedule 100% of the time. The
department re-sequenced three cycles to aid in insuring that the routes are read timely
and efficiently. Customers in the affected routes were notified with a comment on their bill
and the City did not receive any complaints.
6. The Parks Department initiated a contract mowing program for parks and other public
lands to save funds, lower personnel costs, and maximize resources.
7. The City made significant changes to Group Medical Benefits to help manage health costs
to the City. After thorough review and research the City chose United Healthcare to be
the medical network and administer all medical claims. A consumer driven health plan
was added and has helped manage costs. The plan went into effect on January 1, 2005.
While the employee and dependent health insurance premiums did increase, it appears
that the City should finish at or below budget by the end of the fiscal year.
Quality of Life
1. The Cottonbelt Trail was completed and opened to the public in November 2004. The
four-mile trail begins at Browning Drive, follows the Cottonbelt Rail Line, and ends at
Precinct Line Road.

2. The City completed construction of Tommy and Sue Brown Park in February 2005. The
park includes 2 playgrounds, a pavilion, looped walking trail, horseshoe pits, washer pits
and six-hole Frisbee golf course.
3. The City dedicated the new Liberty Park and Veterans Monument in May 2005. This
park, which honors our nation's veterans, is the first of its kind in North Richland Hills and
Northeast Tarrant County.
4. The City initiated, and will soon complete, the Strategic Master Plan for NRH20. This five
(5) year plan will help guide the water park with recommendations for future capital
improvements and operational decisions, enabling the park to compete in an ever growing
competitive business industry.
5. The City began construction of the Walker's Creek hike and bike trail. This 2.8 mile trail
will link with the North Electric Trail and the Cotton Belt Trail. Completion of this project
will be in Fall of 2005.
6. The Parks Department began the design of two (2) new neighborhood parks (Little Bear
Creek and Goode Place park sites), and the renovation of Norich Park. Construction of
these park projects is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2005/2006.
7. The "Night of Holiday Magic" event experienced another successful year with
approximately 15,000 people in attendance.
8. The Library introduced high speed wireless network connections, also known as Wi-Fi.
This allows visitors to the Library to access the internet with their laptop and handheld
computers.
9. The Library achieved the second highest ranking among public libraries in Texas serving
populations of 50,000 to 100,000, as measured by Hennen's American Public Library
Ratings. This is an improvement over the prior year when the Library ranked No.3.
Effective and Efficient Transportation System
1. The Rufe Snow Drive street construction project from Loop 820 to Mid-Cities Blvd was
completed and opened to traffic in July 2004. The newly constructed street has improved
traffic flow and helped facilitate economic development in that corridor. The Rufe Snow
Drive project from Highlawn Terrace to Ridgetop Road should be competed this summer.
2. The Rufe Snow Bridge at Loop 820 was completed in November 2004. The new Bridge
features a Texas Turnaround lane to allow drivers to make U-turns without going through
the signal light. The bridge not only improves the flow of traffic, but it is also built to
accommodate the future expansion of Loop 820.
VIII
\
.
.
.
3. The reconstruction of Rufe Snow Drive, from Karen Drive to Glenview, was also
completed. This project included the reconstruction of pavement and sidewalks, along
with drainage improvements.
4. Improvements on several collector streets have greatly improved our transportation
system, including Glenview Drive from Flory to Linda Spurlock Park, and Lola Drive from
Scott to Davis. The Bursey Road connection to Davis Boulevard was also completed,
along with the stabilization and resurfacing of North Tarrant Parkway from the Keller City
Limits to near Smithfield Road.
5. The Public Works Department overlaid nine (9) lane miles of streets with two (2) inches of
hot-mix asphalt, slurry sealed almost thirteen (13) lane miles of streets, and crack sealed
ten (10) center line miles through the Preventive Street Maintenance Program.
6. The design phase of the Traffic Signal Light Communication System is complete and
construction is now underway. Once complete this system will monitor the operation of 39
signal locations throughout the City from the Public Works Service Center. This will
eliminate Public Works personnel from having to visit each signal location to update and
troubleshoot malfunctions.
This list 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 plan for the future, and an excellent
staff that strives to meet and exceed the expectations of the Council. We believe fiscal year
2004/2005 has been successful despite budget challenges.
200412005 REVISED BUDGET
As part of the normal annual budget process, some areas of the 2004/2005 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
2003/2004, as approved by Council, but actually purchased, paid for and completed in fiscal
year 2004/2005. The most noteworthy budget revisions are explained in the following
narrative.
General Fund Revised 2004/2005
General Fund revenues have been revised downward from the adopted level by about
$466,000, a 1.5% decrease. This decrease is due to some revenues being revised
downward, as well as some being revised up. Below is a discussion of the revenue
adjustments. In addition, there were appropriations for a legal settlement of $650,000,
Insurance Fund reserve payment of $347,250 and prior year encumbrances of $394,734
included in total revenues of $32,289,011.
IX
).
.
.
.
The largest adjustment to revised revenues is in sales taxes which have been revised down
by $358,988. At the time the budget was developed last year, we were confident that the City
would be able to achieve the $8.2 million included in the adopted budget. With the loss of
several major retailers, we believe it is necessary to revise this revenue downward and
project year-end revenues to be $7.8 million, the lowest level in the past six years.
Delinquent property tax revenue has been adjusted upward by almost $68,000 due to larger
than expected collections of delinquent accounts by the delinquent tax attorneys. Electric
franchise fees have been adjusted downward slightly due to a lower usage of electricity
during calendar year 2004. The net effect of these adjustments to the taxes category of
revenues is a decrease of $311 ,679 or a 1.4°1b reduction.
Fines and forfeitures have been revised downward approximately $10,000. This is due
mainly to a decrease in court fine and warrant fee collections. Licenses and permits have
been revised downward just over $112,000. Several revenues in this category have been
adjusted downward, such as curb and drainage inspection fees and plan review and
application fees. With the development of the last large tracts of the City these fees will
decrease as areas have neighborhood streets construction and site plans approved.
However, building inspections fees will continue to remain at current levels because
construction of buildings may occur one to two years after the streets have been paved.
Several revenues have been adjusted upward such as animal control impoundment fees.
Charges for service have been revised down by almost $50,000 due mainly to decreases in
recreation fees. Miscellaneous revenue has been revised upward almost $15,000. This
adjustment is a combination of decreases in revenues such as the criminal justice grant and
increases such as interest income which was revised upward by $116,500.
Appropriation of fund balance has increased by $1,044,734. The adjustments to this category
are the appropriation for legal settlement of $650,000 and the appropriation of prior year
encumbrances of $394,734. 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.
General Fund expenditures have been revised upward by approximately $528,000, including
the proposed service enhancement. In order to adhere to the new bulk mailing standard, the
City Secretary's Office must purchase a new postage machine. This is discussed in greater
detail in the addressing critical needs section of this letter. Other increases are $650,000 for
legal settlement, $394,734 for prior year encumbrances and $50,000 for reserve for capital
improvements. These increases are offset by reductions of over $535,000 made in various
general fund departments. The reductions were a result of various measures instituted by
staff once it became apparent that sales tax revenues were projected below budget
estimates. These reductions include but are not limited to vacancies in various departments
and savings in equipment purchases.
Revised revenues over expenditures for the General Fund are projected to be $77,308.

.
Utility Fund Revised 2004/2005
Utility Fund revenues have been revised up by just over $510,000 or 2.50/0. This includes a
$49,000 increase in water sales, a $279,000 increase in sewer sales and an almost $100,000
increase in late charges. There is a decrease in water inspection fees and sewer inspection
fees between adopted and revised. In addition, appropriations of $192,673 in fund balance
are for prior year encumbrances.
Utility Fund expenditures were increased overall by approximately $703,000. This increase
was to the reserve for capital projects.
Golf Course Revised 2004/2005
Revenues at the golf course decreased by almost $13,000. The majority of the decrease is in
green fees, driving range and cart revenues. This is due to the declining condition of the
greens and the competition of newer area public and private golf courses.
Revised total expenditures, including reserves and internal debt payments, increased by just
over $6,000.
AQuatic Park Revised 2004/2005
The original estimate for attendance for fiscal year 2004/2005 was 282,519. The latest
estimates lower that number to 226,326. The result of the decrease in attendance is a
decrease in revenues of approximately $391,000. Estimated year end revenues for the Park
are $3,442,291 including appropriations for previous year encumbrances.
Revised expenditures have been reduced by $295,000 to offset the loss of revenue.
Reductions have been made to the various operating departments in the Park. There is also
a reduction to the insurance reserve due to paying out a claim this year that was approved by
Council.
Buildina Services Fund Revised 2004/2005
Revised revenues are projected to be over $137,000 more than adopted. This is due to an
increase in interest income and an appropriation of fund balance for prior year encumbrances
of $118,023. Revised expenditures are $1,868,504 including encumbrances from the
previous year of $118,023 and an increase of $44,000 in electricity costs.
Equipment Services Fund Revised 2004/2005
Revised revenues are estimated to be $2,427,709, a 4.7% decrease from adopted. The
decrease is attributable to a reduction in transfers from the General Fund as result of savings
from equipment purchases. Revised expenditures are $2,427,709 which is $113,000 lower
than adopted due to the previously mentioned savings from equipment purchases.

·
Self Insurance Fund Revised 2004/2005
Total revenues for this fund are projected to be $6,889,500 slightly less than the adopted
budget due to decreases in interest income. Included in total expenditures of $6,889,500 are
health/medical costs of $5.1 million, $699,314 for all other insurance, $447,914 in personnel
expenses and $591 ,846 in reserves for future insurance claims.
Information Services Fund Revised 2004/2005
Total revised revenue is projected to be $2,400,813. This includes an appropriation of fund
balance of $153,804 for prior year encumbrances and a decrease in transfers from various
funds in the amount of $117,234 for computer services. Total revised expenditures increased
just under $40,000. This increase includes prior year encumbrances of $153,804 offset by
decreases in computer hardware and software purchases totaling almost $110,000.
Promotional Fund Revised 2004/2005
Occupancy tax revenues are expected to continue to decline and to be $35,100 less than
adopted at $174,900. Interest income has been revised to $3,700, an increase of $1,700.
Also included in total revenues of $262,423 is an appropriation of fund balance for $82,723.
This is $33,900 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 $262,423.
Donations Fund Revised 2004/2005
Overall revenues are projected to increase $43,501 over adopted and includes an
appropriation for previous year encumbrances of $7,810. The increase also includes amounts
raised through fund raising efforts for the veterans' monument at Liberty Park. Total revised
expenditures of $202,301 are $15,515 more than the adopted budget. The increase
expenditures are $7,810 for previous year encumbrances and the remainder for additional
costs associated with the veterans' monument. The Donations Fund is projected to end the
year with an $110,946 balance of revenues over expenditures.
Speciallnvesti~ation Fund Revised 2004/2005
Revised revenues have been adjusted upward by about $73,000. State and Federal forfeited
funds have increased by over $25,000. 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 increased by just over $45,000.
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.
Revised expenditures remain at the adopted level excluding previous year encumbrances.
This fund is projected to end the year with $72,039 in revenues over expenditures.

Drainage Utilitv Fund Revised 2004/2005
Drainage fee revenue has increase by $18,000 over adopted bringing the revised revenues
to $795,700. It is projected that this fund will end the year with a balance of approximately
$336,165.
Parks Development Fund Revised 2004/2005
Sales tax revenue projections were revised downward by approximately $139,000 and
Tennis Center revenues have been revised downward to $292,250, a 120/0 decrease under
adopted. Interest income has been revised upward by almost $35,000 and there is an
appropriation of fund balance for previous year encumbrances of $19,090. Total revenues of
$4,359,058 are $120,247 less than the adopted budget.
Total expenditures of $4,359,058 includes a reduction of over $150,000 of adopted reserve
for capital projects and an appropriation of fund balance of $19,090 for previous year
encumbrances.
Crime Control and Prevention District Revised 2004/2005
Sales tax revenue projections were revised downward by approximately $119,000 for total
revised revenues of $4,702,562. Due to the cyclical nature of officer candidate availability and
lower than normal response to recruiting efforts, over $185,000 in salary savings was
identified due to vacancies. This decrease in expenditures allowed for the planned use of
transition fund reserves to be decreased by $82,236. Total revised expenditures of
$4,702,562 are $190,450 less than adopted.
2005/2006 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 2005/2006. Highlights of the coming year are:
1. Continuina Support for Preventive Street Maintenance - The 15th consecutive year of
major funding for preventive 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. In 2004/2005, $300,000 of the funding
came from the General Fund, with the balance of $300,000 being funded with an
accumulation of savings from past projects in the capital projects program. In 2005/2006,
$400,000 of proposed funding will come from the General Fund, with the balance of
$200,000 being funded with past project savings. Citizens can expect to see continued
improvement in the overall condition of streets in North Richland Hills over the next few
years.

.
2. Equipment & Buildina Services Plans - Staff continues to update these plans originally
presented to City Council in fiscal year 1997/1998. The plans allow 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. As commented on in the "Maintaining a Sound Budget: Evaluating Services and
Expenditures" section of this letter, suggested changes are being made for next fiscal
year as far as specific equipment and building upgrades, but the basic plan remains valid
and is recommended to be continued as a tool to keep our equipment and buildings timely
and reasonably maintained, replaced and/or improved. The 2006 plans are presented in
the 2005/2006 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP).
3. Aquatic Park Infrastructure - The 10th consecutive year of infrastructure funding will see
$325,000 added to reserves for major infrastructure replacement and/or major repair.
Total accumulated reserves at the end of fiscal year 2006 are estimated to be
approximately $2.4 million.
4. Support of Alliance for Child Advocacv Center - This program will receive $16,590 in
fiscal year 2005/2006 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 2005/2006 budget continues funding
the reserve for capital projects to provide a pay-as-you-go approach to fund small capital
projects. The total 2005/2006 requested funding to add to this reserve is $100,000.
Projects funded from this small reserve allow us to avoid borrowing funds for smaller
capital projects. This will bring the total amount transferred to the reserve to over $3.0
million since the reserve was created in FY 1998/1999.
6. Restoration of General Fund Reserves - As part of the approved insurance reserve policy
($347,250 in 2004/2005 and $103,800 in 2005/2006) and the approved legal settlement
($650,000 in both 2004/2005 and 2005/2006), it has been necessary to appropriate fund
balance or draw-down cash reserves from the General Fund. In the 2005/2006 proposed
budget $287,937 will be added to fund balance to begin the restoration of these reserves.
7. Service Enhancement for 2005/2006 - Service enhancements to address Goals
established by City Council are included in the 2005/2006 proposed budget.
Management and staff identified items that met critical needs or were mandated by state
law. These enhancements are discussed in detail later in this letter. The following is a
brief list of what is included in these enhancements:
~ Walk-in Freezer Expansion - Animal Shelter - $9,397
~ Professional Services for ISO Rating - $8,800
~ School Crossing Guard - New School - $6,061
~ Mandated Cost - 2003 International Building Code - $5,700
XIV
~
.
While the 2005/2006 proposed budget addresses many of the Goals Council has established
for the City, the proposed budget strives to further enhance or improve existing services
without incurring added costs, but this has been a challenge because of limited resources.
Property Values & Tax Analvsis
Net taxable value growth is up once again. As of the July 2005 tax roll, net taxable values
are approximately 5.50/0 greater than last July and include $80,253,195 in new construction.
Excluding new construction, existing property increased in value 2.9% over July 2004. The
average home value in North Richland Hills was $132,004 in May 2004. The average home
value, based on the July 2005 tax roll, is $134,909. The estimated revenue to be generated
from the net taxable value at a 990/0 collection rate is $18,695,317. The proposed budget
includes revenues to the Debt Service Fund in the amount of $6,679,223 to pay for bonds
and certificates of obligation, $683,092 for public improvements in the Tax Increment
Financing Districts, and $11,233,002 to the General Fund. The proposed budget includes no
changes to the current tax rate of 57¢ per $100 valuation, which is approximately equal to the
estimated effective tax rate of 57¢. The effective tax rate will be confirmed with Tarrant
County.
General Fund Proposed 2005/2006
.
The General Fund provides funding for the tax supported operations of the City. These are
services traditionally referred to as City operations such as Police, Fire, Streets, Library, etc.
The major sources of revenue to this fund are sales taxes (representing 24% of General
Fund revenues) and property taxes (representing 34% of General Fund revenues), both
excluding appropriations of fund balance.
In 2005/2006, total revenues in the General Fund are projected to increase over 2004/2005
adopted revenues by approximately $1,066,000, a 3.30/0 increase. (The appropriation from
fund balance is a legal settlement and one time revenue source and somewhat skews the
actual revenue increase picture. When this is eliminated, the estimated revenue increase is
$416,445 or 1.3%.) The major increases are:
~ Property taxes $ 1,049,989
~ Fines and Forfeitures $ 97,393
~ Charges for Services $ 49,191
~ Interest Earnings $ 201,500
~ Appropriation from Fund Balance - Legal $ 650,000
~ Juvenile Case Manager Fees $ 63,000
(Effective September 1, 2005, municipalities will be allowed to charge a fee to recover
costs associated with juvenile case manager activities in Municipal Court. North Richland
Hills has an existing program and upon approval from Council will begin assessing this
fee. )
As stated in the previous section regarding property values, tax revenues are projected at
. $18,695,317 based on the current S7¢ tax rate. Of this amount, $6,679,223 is needed for
xv
·
·
·
..
debt service and $683,092 is needed for public improvements in the Tax Increment Financing
districts.
General Fund sales taxes are projected at $7,722,225 (a decrease of 6% below 2004/2005
adopted budget), which includes business gains as well as business losses. This is less
revenue than was collected seven years ago in 1998/1999 and 1 .60/0 less than current year
revised.
Initially in the General Fund, departmental budget requests totaled $33,497,527. The
proposed General Fund departmental budgets total $32,157,111, only a 1.000/0 increase over
the adopted 2004/2005 budget, and over $1.3 million less than departmental requests.
Careful evaluation was made in reducing these funding requests without diminishing service
delivery. Additionally, amounts budgeted for the capital projects reserve, lump sum merit,
allocation to the Self Insurance medical claims reserve, and proposed service enhancements
bring the total proposed General Fund budget to $33,133,463.
Overall departmental expenditures increased by only 1.00% over adopted FY 2004/2005.
The proposed budget includes an average 40/0 merit increase for eligible employees with
corresponding increases to benefits and increases to health insurance and workers
compensation. Allocations to Information Service, Building Service and Equipment Service
funds were all reduced due to decreased costs in each of these internal service funds. The
net decrease in allocations to internal service funds was over $575,000. The decrease will be
discussed in detail later in the internal service fund section of this letter. There are other
increases and decreases to note specific to departments.
It is being proposed that the Economic Development Department begin budgeting the
salaries of staff currently funded by the Promotional Fund. This plan suggests to move 0.25
full-time equivalent salaries to the General Fund each year until all economic development
staff are funded in the General Fund. Proposed 2005/2006 expenditures in the General Fund
are projected to increase by $21,171 bringing the total for Economic Development to
$121,958.
The proposed Neighborhood Services budget increased over last year's adopted by about
$55,000. This increase is the result of over $10,000 to replace the walk-in freezer, $2,000 to
repair the crematorium at the Animal Shelter and moving the substandard demolition costs of
$13,500 from Building Inspections section of the budget to the Code Enforcement section of
the budget. The remaining increases were for merit pay and associated costs.
Inspections, now part of the new Planning and Development Department, had a decrease of
the $13,500 due to moving substandard demolition to Neighborhood Services but this is
offset by the increased salary costs as a result of the departmental restructuring and merit
pay and associated costs. The proposed budget total for this new department is $905,257, an
increase of $27,035 from last year.
In the Fire Department, staffing a third front-line ambulance was included in the adopted FY
2004/05 and was to be funded beginning May of that fiscal year. The proposed budget
includes an increase of approximately $245,000 to staff the third ambulance for a full year.
XVI
. .
The proposed budget total for the Fire Department is $8,245,781, an increase of $354,988.
. The remaining increase is due in part to merit pay and associated costs.
The proposed budget includes $100,000 in reserve for "pay as you go" Capital
Improvements. This is $450,000 less than the funding goal of $550,000 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 $103,880 allocation to the Self Insurance Fund to
continue the rebuilding of medical claims reserves in that fund as approved by Council.
Funding is from Fund Balance and is identified as an appropriation from Fund Balance in the
revenues and in expenditures as a transfer to the Self Insurance Fund. This is a decrease of
$243,450 from adopted FY 2004/2005 per the approved reserve plan.
There are several proposed cost savings measures discussed in the "Maintaining a Sound
Budget: Evaluating Services and Expenditures" section of this letter. But, for 2005/2006, the
City will continue to deliver Quality services as in past years. The projected revenues over
expenditures for the General Fund are $362,524, including a few service enhancements, but
$287,937 will be set aside to restore General Fund reserves.
Utilitv Fund Proposed 2005/2006
.
Water sales and charges generated from the North Richland Hills system for 2005/2006 are
projected to be $13,103,796, a 4.4% increase from current year adopted budget. Most of the
increase is due to the rate increases recommended in the recently conducted utility rate
study.
Sewer sales and charges are projected to be $7,745,444, about $515,000 more than current
year adopted. As with water service, most of the increase is due to the rate increases
recommended in the recently conducted utility rate study as mentioned above.
Included in total Utility Fund revenues are appropriations of $237,165 in fund balance for rate
stabilization which is discussed further in the financing section of this letter. There is also an
appropriation of $34,600 in fund balance to the Self Insurance Fund to be used toward
rebuilding medical claims reserves in that fund per the approved reserve plan. Total Utility
Fund revenues are projected to be $21,665,005, about $1,395,000 more than the 2004/2005
adopted budget.
Expenses are estimated at $21,665,005 which is a 6.9 % increase over 2004/2005 adopted.
Included in the budget is approximately $500,000 in water and sewer treatment costs
charged by the City of Fort Worth and the Trinity River Authority. A projected increase to the
reserve for capital projects of $782,147. These reserves will fund the various water and
sewer systems improvement and expansions as identified in the long range utility capital
improvement plan. Also included in total expenditures is a transfer of $34,600 to the Self
Insurance Fund. The increase to the Self Insurance Fund is needed to help with
reestablishing the medical claims reserve and is per the refunding plan approved by Council.

-I
. Golf Course Pro~osed 2005/2006
The Golf Course is projecting net revenues of $2,175,914 a decrease of about $50,000.
Actual operating revenues will decrease by over $600,000 due to closure of the course for six
weeks for the reconstruction of greens which is included in the proposed Capital
Improvements Budget. Park Development sales tax revenues (4B) in the amount of $550,000
will fund $100,000 for the greens reconstruction project, $150,000 for intensive care and
maintenance of the greens before, during and after reconstruction and $300,000 for debt
service during the time of closure. Operating expenses were lowered by approximately
$100,000 to reflect expenses that can be avoided during the reconstruction project. Expenses
including debt service, inter-fund loan payments and reserves totaled $2,175,914.
Aauatic Park Proposed 2005/2006
Revenues of $3,595,287 at NRH20 are $142,433 less than the 2004/2005 adopted budget. It
is estimated that there will be 241 ,456 visitors to the park next year.
Expenditures are projected to be $3,595,287. Included in expenditures is $390,873 for debt
service, and the final installment of $50,000 to repay a loan from the infrastructure reserve in
the amount of $100,000. The loan was repaid from revenues generated from locker rentals.
The reserves for future infrastructure continue to be budgeted at $325,000. The reserve for
future park expansion is budgeted at $74,997.
.
Buildina Services Fund Proposed 2005/2006
The total proposed budget of $1,835,881 includes operating expenses of $1,650,608, capital
expenses of $134,750, and debt service payments of $42,309. These costs are to provide
maintenance and repairs to all City facilities. This is an increase of 6.1 % from the 2004/2005
adopted budget. The cost of electricity is projected to increase $160,000 over current
adopted budget. The ten-year plan approved by City Council in 1997 has been updated to for
2006 and is included in the proposed 2005/2006 CIP budget. Actual capital projects have
been reprioritized as previously commented on to allow adjustments to the General Fund, but
the Building Services Plan is to be continued as scheduled in the future years.
Eauipment Services Fund Proposed 2005/2006
.
Total proposed expenses of $2,061,240 include operations and maintenance of $1,509,979,
equipment purchases of $341 ,945, and debt service payments of $98,353. Included in
equipment purchases are 6 police vehicles. This fund maintains operating and major
equipment used in all City departments. This year it will be necessary to finance $1,418,290
in replacement vehicles including a $901,900 aerial ladder truck and a $205,390 ambulance.
The debt service increase will not occur until FY 2006/2007. These large pieces of
equipment are included in the proposed capital improvement project budget. The ten-year
plan approved by City Council in 1997 has been updated for 2006 with future debt service
and is included in the proposed 2005/2006 CIP budget. Each department pays its pro-rata
cost for operations and maintenance of equipment users. Revenues for the proposed budget
XVIII
.
.
.
are $2,061,240 with $1,849,666 being charges for service to customer departments. As
previously mentioned in the letter, equipment replacements of non-emergency equipment
was reprioritized but will be provided for in future years.

Self Insurance Fund Proposed 2005/2006
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 2005/2006 meets all expected expenses.
The budget for health/medical is $507,536 more than 2004/2005 adopted, a 10% increase.
The increase in health/medical has been kept to a smaller increase than in recent years as a
result of recent plan changes implemented in January 2005. The insurance fund reserves
are being rebuilt per the reserve plan with the employees and the City sharing this cost.
Overall the proposed 2005/2006 Self-Insurance Fund will see a 2.22% increase in
expenditures for all insurance purposes from the current adopted budget.
Information Services Fund Proposed 2005/2006
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 $2,148,197 which is a 10.00/0 decrease from
the fiscal year 2004/2005 adopted budget. Staff has decreased operational expenditures by
over $130,000 from the previous year by focusing on only the most critical projects and
needs of the customer departments. Additionally, due to budget constraints, reserve funding
will be $56,461, a decrease of approximately $78,000 from 2004/2005 adopted. These
reductions result in a decrease in service charges to departments of about $217,000.
Promotional Fund Proposed 2005/2006
The Promotional Fund, which provides visitor/tourism services and economic development
for the City, projects occupancy tax proceeds of $174,900, interest income in the amount of
$2,275 and an appropriation of fund balance of $56,138 necessary to cover costs. 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. Therefore, it is proposed to
transition funding salaries for employees currently funded in this fund to the General Fund to
begin this year. The proposed plan will move 0.25 full-time equivalent salaries each year until
all salaries are transitioned out of the Promotional Fund. Total proposed expenditures for the
Promotional Fund are projected at $233,143 a 10.70/0 decrease from current year adopted.
Donations Fund Proposed 2005/2006
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
approximately $126,000 of the total projected revenues of $190,980 for 2005/2006. Total
revenues are about $78,766 less than 2004/2005 adopted. The decrease is primarily due to
the appropriation of fund balance for the Humane Services expansion project ($60,000) and
xx
Library Materials ($10,000) not occurring in the 2005/2006 proposed budget. It is projected
. that the fund will have revenues in excess of expenditures of $74,890.
Speciallnvestiaation Fund Proposed 2005/2006
Revenues for this fund are derived from Federal and State forfeited funds and
reimbursements from neighboring cities involved in the Police Mobile Data Terminal (MDT)
program, the 800 MHz radio system and the Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(AFIS) program. Total revenues are budgeted at $410,332, which is slightly more than
current year adopted. Proposed expenditures total $378,183 a decrease over current year
adopted of $11 ,465. MDT Maintenance cost increases of $41 ,000 were offset by the last loan
payment in the current year of $52,665. Revenues are projected to exceed expenditures by
$32,149.
.
.
Drainaae Utilitv Fund Proposed 2005/2006
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 debt service transfers for 2005/2006 are $711,368. An ending
balance of $419,432 is projected for this fund.
Parks Development Fund Proposed 2005/2006
Sales tax revenues are projected to be around $3.86 million in 2005/2006, approximately
$200,000 or 5.2% less than the 2004/2005 adopted budget.
Total budgeted expenditures are approximately $4.29 million, including debt service of
$1 ,208,248, and reserves for capital projects of $314, 187. Also included is the allocation of
sales tax revenues to be used to enhance our economic development efforts. The first year
allocation to economic development in 2004/2005 was $250,000. Subsequent years the
allocations to economic development are to be 5% of sales tax revenues or $193,056 for the
2005/2006 proposed budget. The Tennis Center continues to be active and generate about
$310,000 in revenues, but is estimated to cost $491,000 to operate. This Fund also provides
funding for park operations, administration and for maintenance of park and recreation
facilities constructed using the half-cent sales tax. No additional personnel are requested for
our parks as Council approved a contract mowing program, and it is now underway and will
be evaluated throughout this next year. Capital Projects funded through this fund are
identified in the proposed CIP Budget.
Crime Control District Proposed 2005/2006
Sales tax revenues are projected to be just over $3.7 million in the Crime Control District for
2005/2006. This is $178,477 less than the 2004/2005 adopted budget. A loan of $957,972
from the transition fund is necessary to cover the decreasing sales tax revenues. Proposed
expenditures for 2005/2006 are $4.7 million a decrease from 2004/2005 adopted of
$190,000. The decreases in expenditures include a reduction in transfers to Equipment
XXI
.
.
.
..
Services of $75,000, a reduction in transfer to the General Fund of $156,562 and last loan
payment for the Special Investigations Fund. These decreases were offset by increases in
insurance costs and the proposed lump sum merit pay.
Maintainina a Sound Budaet:
Evaluatina Services and Expenditures
The sluggish economy, combined with the complete closing of North Hills Mall and continued
decline in sales tax, made it necessary to make adjustments to the 2004/2005 Adopted
Budget to compensate for lower than expected revenues. In order to prepare a balanced
budget for fiscal year 2005/2006, Department Directors and City Management further
identified areas where we can reprioritize projects and reduce expenditures. It is important to
note that these will be temporary changes and will not affect services. We anticipate that
once we return to better financial conditions these projects will resume to help us carry out
our long-term plans. We believe that with these proposed changes the City can still provide
excellent City services and continue the implementation of the Council Goals and Objectives.
However, it will be difficult to further reduce expenditures without negatively impacting critical
services. The following provides a summary of the recommended expenditure reductions.
Equipment Replacement
As part of our long-range plans we have 10-year schedules for equipment
replacements. Equipment includes public safety vehicles, pick up trucks for various
departments, vans, dump trucks, large mowers, and other items that are used in the
day to day operations of the City. In order to ensure a balanced budget and maintain
consistent services, we have reevaluated the schedule of equipment replacement and
recommend some changes. This includes postponing the replacement of a 1993
Chevrolet Astro Van, four Chevrolet C1500 trucks, two large mowers, and a 1994
Chevrolet Lumina. The vehicles will continue to be maintained and in good operating
condition for another year. The large mowers will be put on hold until we have better
experience to gauge whether the contract mowing of parks is effective. If the City
chooses to continue the contract mowing these mowers might not be needed in the
future. It is important to note that these delays will not compromise any public safety
operations. By postponing these non-emergency equipment replacements for one
year, we are able to reduce the budget by $258,360.
Building Equipment and Maintenance Projects
As part of our long-range plans we have a 10-year schedule for building equipment
replacement, renovation, and major maintenance projects. The City has reevaluated
the schedule and identified savings by postponing some of these planned projects for
one year. This includes Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC)
Replacements at City Hall, the Bursey Road Senior Center, CitiCable, Library, and the
Police Department Jail Control. The HV AC systems have been well maintained and
are in good enough condition to remain in place for another year. Other projects
include minor renovations and maintenance. By putting off these non-critical projects
for one year the City will save $197,550 which will help to balance the budget.

Technology Replacements and ' Upgrades
The City is committed to being at the forefront of technology. As a result, City Staff is
constantly identifying ways to upgrade our current technology as well as examining
some future technology needs. Similar to our building and equipment replacements,
we have a schedule to replace and upgrade our technology. This too had to be
reprioritized and it was necessary to hold off on the replacement and upgrade of some
our technology. This includes a wireless network study, replacement of our computer
network hardware, the purchase of software to expand our Geographic Information
System (GIS) capabilities, and the GIS data conversion services for utility systems.
Although these projects would benefit City operations, they are not deemed
detrimental if we hold on them for a short time. Postponing them for one year will save
the City $121,645 this next fiscal year.
Preventive, Street Maintenance Program
The Preventive Street Maintenance Program has been operating on an annual budget
of $600,000. The program's objective is to extend the life of the current street system
and delay more costly street reconstruction. In an effort to reduce costs to the General
Fund, it is suggested that $200,000 in savings from other street projects and interest
earnings be put toward the Preventive Street Maintenance Program in 2005/2006.
This will allow us to contribute only $400,000 from the General Fund and still provide
full funding of $600,000 for the Preventive Street Maintenance Program. As a result
the City will realize a savings of $200,000 and still be able to fully fund the program so
it will not be reduced in scope this coming fiscal year.
"Pay as You Go" Capital. Projects Reserve
For several years the City Council has tried to annually put $550,000 into a Capital
Projects Reserve, commonly referred to as the "Pay as You Go Reserve," to fund
small capital projects from cash and avoid debt financing on smaller projects where
possible. At the beginning of the budget preparation process, we attempted to budget
$550,000 to add to this reserve, but it is necessary to reduce this to $100,000 thereby
saving $450,000. It would be desirable to return to fully funding the pay as you in
future years to enable the City to pay cash for smaller capital improvements and save
interest expenses. However, this is a good option for us at this time to reduce the
contribution to the reserve fund.
Our primary objective has been to reduce costs and balance the budget without adversely
affecting core and public safety services. The recommended cost savings have been
carefully weighed against the impact they will have on our citizens. We believe these
temporary adjustments will not impact services during the next fiscal year. Our plan is to
resume with these projects once the local economy improves. In summary, we feel the
proposed reductions balance the budget while keeping critical services in tact.

Addressina Critical Needs:
Plannina for the Future & Providina Necessarvlm~rovements
Although North Richland Hills continues to face challenging economic times, the City is
experiencing steady population growth and increased demands on services. To continue
providing excellent services, staff is recommending enhancements to some City programs
and services. Some of the proposed enhancements are mandated, while others are deemed
critical by staff. All are in line with the City Council's Goals and Objectives. Funds for these
improvements have been identified through planning and the reprioritization of projects. The
following descriptions provide details of the proposed service enhancements.
Revised 2004/2005
PostaaeMachine'Replacement - Mandated Cost
The United States Postal Service has mandated the retirement of all meters using
letterpress technology by January 1, 2006. According to the mandate, the city's postal
system will have to be replaced with a system that uses digital printing technology.
City staff has identified the Mailing System DM 1000 Series with a Power Stacker to
purchase from Pitney Bowes, a well respected postal support services company. This
mailing system is a 30lb scale and includes a printer with digital printing capabilities.
The system will allow all certified mail to be tracked by a bar code, similar to those in a
grocery store, as required by the Department of Homeland Security. The digital
printing technology will also allow us to print much faster and speed up our mailing
operations. The total cost to purchase the machine will be $31,000. An additional
$5,000 will be needed to do some basic remodeling to accommodate the equipment.
The budget will also include an $831 annual maintenance agreement. The total cost of
replacing the postage machine is $36,831.
Proposed. ,2005/2006
ImplementinathelnternationalBuildina Code - Mandated Cost
During this fiscal year the State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1458. This bill
approves The 2003 International Building Code (IBC) as the municipal building code
for Texas commercial and multi-family construction. The bill goes into effect in
September 2005, but Cities have until January 1, 2006 to implement the new code
system. In the meantime, the Inspections staff must purchase the new code books
and receive training on the new code. The total cost for compliance is $5,700. The
cost includes $1,200 for training the Inspections Department staff and $4,500 for the
updated code books.
ProfessionalServicesforPrODertv Protection Classification Ratina
The City has invested significantly in its fire protection capabilities over the past
several years. These improvements include: the addition of a third front line
ambulance; the addition of several firefighters for the aerial ladder truck; Automatic Aid
agreements with our neighboring cities, the enhancement of our firefighting training;
the improvement of water system for firefightin9 through the addition of more fire
XXIV
.
hydrants and water mains; and the improvement of response times through the
relocation of Fire Stations 1 and 4. Because of these improvements we believe we
can improve the City's Property Protection Classification (PPC) to a more favorable
rating, which will result in lower fire insurance rates for homeowners and small
businesses.
The Property Protection Classification (PPC) grading is assigned to cities by the
Insurance Services Office (ISO). The ISO looks at all aspects of a community's fire
protection including water supply (fire flow), water distribution, number of hydrants,
and number and location of engines (pumpers) and fire trucks (aerial ladders). The
Texas Addendum also allows cities in our state to gain extra credits for fire prevention
efforts like school fire drills, fire safety education programs and adopting current fire
and building codes.
The PPC rating is based on a scale of "10" with "1" being the best and a "10" being no
fire protection available. The City of North Richland Hills currently carries a PPC of "4".
With the recent improvements made by the Fire Department, we believe that our rating
can improve from "4" to a "2." Should we achieve this goal, homeowners would be able
to receive a 100/0 reduction in their home's fire insurance premiums.
.
The reclassification project will involve three phases. The first phase includes hiring a
consultant to conduct a mock grading exercise and create a list of additional
improvements that are recommended. The second phase is preparing an ISO pre-
survey packet with all the information needed for the ISO Field representative and the
third phase is to assist the ISO Field Representative during their actual survey of the
City. The total cost is estimated to be $17,400. Phase I has already begun and will be
complete during the 2004/2005 fiscal year. Phase II and Phase III will be completed
during the 2005/2006 fiscal year. We are proposing $8,800 for FY 2005/2006 to cover
the cost of Phase II and Phase III. There have been recent discussions at ISO about
eliminating the Texas Addendum and the extra grading points associated with that
document. We believe it would be beneficial for the City of North Richland Hills to
request a PPC reclassification visit before this occurs. This project contributes to
accomplishing the City Council Goal of Safety and Security.
Additional SchoolCrossinaGuard - New School
The new Walker Creek Elementary School is scheduled to open for the 2005/2006
school year and will require the addition of a school crossing guard. If the City does
not fill this position, children attending the school may have to cross streets
unprotected, increasing the potential for auto pedestrian accidents. Failing to fill the
position would also increase need for Public Service Officers or Police Officers at the
school to ensure the safety of the children because there are currently not enough
school crossing guards available to take away from other schools. The total cost to
fund this position is $6,061. This program addresses the safety needs of the children
and residents around Walker Creek Elementary and also contributes to accomplishing
the City Council Goal Safety and Security.

Walk-in Freezer Expansion - Animal ,Shelter
The Proposed Budget includes replacing the walk-in freezer at the Animal Shelter. The
daily operations of the Animal Shelter require the storage of deceased animals prior to
disposal, as well as the storage of donated animal food. Storing donated food in a zero
degree environment prolongs the shelf-life of the food and eliminates the pest control
problems inherent to dry storage of these items. The current freezer is inadequate in
size and is experiencing frequent repairs to cool properly. In addition the floor is in
need of replacement and the walls are in need of repair. With an ever growing animal
population, the burden for this storage has also increased. The cost of replacing the
freezer with a like size freezer is $10,603 and funds are included in the Neighborhood
Services line item for this in the proposed 2005/2006 budget. Staff is recommending
an additional $9,397 be allocated to allow the purchase of the needed larger unit,
which would be approximately 1 ,300 cubic feet. The replacement of the walk-in
freezer will enhance the Animal Shelter's operations by increasing the freezer's
capacity and reducing repair costs.
Retainina Qualitv Emplovees
North Richland Hills' most valuable assets are its employees. Our employees are the reasons
we achieve excellence in delivery of services including police and fire protection, street
maintenance, water and utility services, recreation services, and park maintenance, just to
name a few. Our employees are also critical in making sure the City Council's Goals and
Objectives are achieved. North Richland Hills has a history of hiring and retaining skilled,
educated and experienced employees. By continuing to offer a quality compensation and
benefits program, we will further attract and retain exemplary employees. To continue
providing competitive benefits and compensation with limited resources, we are implementing
strategies to address rising medical costs and ensure that the Self-Insurance Fund remains
sound, as well as providing for the continuation of the Merit Pay System established by the
City Council. An update of these efforts is provided below.
Health Plan Historv and Plan Year 2006
In July 2003, City Council and staff met in a special work session to discuss significant
challenges facing the City's self-insured health plan. Years of double-digit medical inflation
and several large catastrophic medical claims had put a strain on the City's Self Insurance
Fund. At that time, a three-year strategy of cost sharing and cost reduction was approved to
slow the growth of the City's health insurance costs. It was important for employees and the
City to partner to ensure the long-term success of the cost saving initiatives. Since that time,
many changes to the plan design and administration have occurred and it is apparent that the
difficult decisions made over the last two years are working as intended.
Effective January of this year United Healthcare became the City's health plan administrator.
The transition from the previous vendors to United Healthcare went extremely well and
United Healthcare is performing as expected. Also in January, employee medical and dental
premiums increased across the board for all plans and the City added, as a third option, a
XXVI
.
.
.
consumer driven health plan called the I-Plan. Last year Council approved a 6-year strategy
for rebuilding the health insurance reserves. This first year, a budget transfer was made to
the Self-Insurance Fund from the General and Utilities Funds and beginning in 2006 both the
City and employees will contribute to rebuilding reserves.
In August 2004, the City held its first ever employee and retiree health fair at the City's
Recreation Center. The health fair was a great success with 13 vendors and approximately
170 employees, retirees, and family members who participated. North Hills Hospital provided
blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose screening free of charge to all participants.
Through June of this year, claim costs are tracking slightly over budget, but based on past
claims experience we anticipate coming in at budget or slightly under budget by the end of
this fiscal year.
Next year we project an overall medical cost increase of approximately 10%. Employees will
be expected to share in that rise in cost through an increase in monthly medical premiums.
Effective January 2006, medical premiums will increase 11 % plus $5 which will be transferred
to help rebuild the Self Insurance Fund reserve. On a monthly basis this can range from an
increase of $7 to $33, depending on the plan an employee has. With the increase to the
City's and the employee's contribution, in 2006 we expect to reach our funding goal of 200/0 of
revenue contributed through employee medical premiums and 800/0 of revenue contributed by
the City.
For the first time in several years we are not recommending any changes to the plan design
such as increases in co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket maximums for plan year 2006.
The significant changes to the plan over the last few years are working to slow the growth of
our health care costs. We do anticipate making further modifications to the health plan in the
future, but believe it would be best to make those decisions after we have had more
experience with United Healthcare.
Continuation, ofMeritPav System
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 level of
performance. 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 in 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 excellent customer service and quality City services from
XXVII
motivated employees. The Merit Pay System is based on an average 4 percent annual
. increase with acceptable performance.
Lump Sum . MeritPav' Proaram
This program was approved by Council as part of the recommendations made by the Waters
Consulting Group following the compensation and classification study completed in 2003.
Under this program, all eligible regular benefited employees whose base rate of pay is at or
near their pay range maximum, and whose most recent performance evaluation resulted in
an acceptable or higher rating, are eligible to receive a lump sum payment on their normal
merit date. The purpose of the Lump Sum Merit Pay Program is to provide an economic
incentive for continued strong performance to employees regardless of their position in a pay
range. Program implementation has been included in the proposed budget and is proposed
to begin January of 2006. The Lump Sum Merit Pay Program is based on 2 percent of annual
salary. Although it is management's desire to continue the lump sum program, it is
understood and will be conveyed to employees, if approved, that this is not a guaranteed
program. The lump sum pay is as the name implies - paid out one time, once a year. We
hope it can be continued year after year, but it may not be possible.
.
.
Market Adiustment
In 1996, the City Council approved the Market Adjustment Plan to keep salaries competitive.
Most recently, this Market Adjustment Plan was reviewed and approved as part of the
Compensation and Classification Study conducted in 2003. The plan involves an annual
study including a survey of 10 cities and a review of the Employee Cost Index to determine
the level of adjustment necessary to keep salary ranges competitive in the labor market. In
January 2005, Council approved a 3.37% adjustment to the City's Public Safety pay plan and
a 2.83% adjustment to the City's Professional/Administrative and General Services pay plans.
Due to economic considerations, a market adjustment is not included in the 2005/2006
budget. It is our intent to conduct a survey of the benchmark cities in the coming fiscal year
in an effort to keep track of the City's competitiveness in the market; however, the
recommendation is that funds not be allocated to provide adjustments to the compensation
plan for next fiscal year. It is anticipated that the Market Adjustment Plan will resume in fiscal
year 2006/2007.
Financina for Fiscal Year 2005/2006
While the local economy is slow to recover and sales tax revenues continue to decline, the
2005/2006 Budget is balanced and sound. Overall, the budget will result in the continuation of
our core functions at the same high level of service, while expanding some services to meet
critical needs. The budget reflects our limited resources, as well as some temporary
reductions in purchasing and replacing equipment which we expect to be fully restored in
future years.

Despite the declines in sales tax revenue, we are very optimistic about the coming fiscal year.
Residential construction and property values remain steady. The completion of the Loop 820
Corridor Study and the branding and design of State Highway 26 will create great economic
potential for our City. Home Town NRH continues to grow and we will soon see construction
begin on the much anticipated mixed-use commercial development called The Venue at
Home Town. The new development, City Walk at Calloway Creek, and the related expansion
of medical office buildings near North Hills Hospital will provide a large dose of economic
activity in the future. Revitalization of Rufe Snow Drive continues with new businesses
establishing themselves along the improved corridor. We also will continue to see healthy
retail activity at the North Tarrant Parkway and Davis Boulevard intersection. All of these will
have a positive impact on future sales tax revenues which will enable us to re-implement the
programs we have proposed delaying for this coming fiscal year.
The proposed 2005/2006 budget is based on maintaining the current $0.57 property tax rate
and implementing recommendations from a recently completed Utility Rate Study. If
approved by the Council, this will be the 13th consecutive year for maintaining the current tax
rate.
The Utility Rate Study, also known as the Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study, was
conducted by Carolyn M. Marshall, CPA. The City Council approved funding the water and
sewer rate study in 2004 and much of the work was started and completed during that year.
It was determined that much of the information contained in the Utility Master Plan and the
Impact Fee Study were important to the rate study; therefore, completion of the rate study
was postponed until these two studies could be completed. The Utility Master Plan and
Impact Fee Study and rates were approved by City Council in April of this year.
The Utility Rate Study looked at the base and volume water and sewer rates, which are
controlled by the City and have not changed since 1994. The study recommends a minimal
increase in sewer rates, and a marginal increase in water rates to offset the increasing cost of
providing service. To minimize the affect of the rate increase on customers, it is
recommended the City phase in the increase over a three year period and use the Rate
Stabilization Reserve established several years ago to soften the impact. Also, any rate
increases should be implemented in the fall or winter when water consumption is lowest.
Following shows the recommended base and volume rates to be phased in over the next
three years in order to meet the revenue requirements for the system's operation and
maintenance costs.

The impact of the proposed rate changes on the average residential customer using 8,760
gallons per month would be $0.60 per month in 2006. If approved, this would be the first
increase to the City's base and volume water and sewer rates in more than a decade. A
survey shows that the new rate structure would remain competitive with our neighboring
cities.
In addition, the City anticipates an increase in the Fort WorthlTrinity River Authority water and
sewer pass through rates in fiscal year 2005/2006. Costs associated with payments to Fort
Worth and TRA are not controllable by the City; and therefore are calculated separately. The
rate analyst included the verification of the pass through calculation in her analysis of
revenue requirements and city staff is including the pass through rate components in their
budget preparations.
.
Staff realizes the importance of keeping costs low for our customers, and has balanced this
with the needs of continuing to provide quality water and sewer systems. The proposed
increase would be the first increase in NRH base and volume rates since 1994 and will allow
us to capture the revenues needed to cover costs and continue providing excellent water and
sewer service to our citizens. The new rate structure is also competitive with our neighboring
cities.
In the coming year, City staff will continue to seek new outside revenue sources including
grants and increased donations for the Library Book Fund and the Animal Adoption and
Rescue Center Expansion Fund. Natural gas drilling has also been a source of revenue for
some area cities and will be examined by staff and presented to the City Council as a future
option.
Summary and Conclusion
.
Although the coming fiscal year will be challenging, we will still be able to provide excellent
services to our citizens. The City will not reduce service levels to citizens or reduce staffing
and will restore reserves to the General Fund. It is being recommended that the City
reprioritize some of its non-emergency equipment, building, and technology replacement and
upgrade plans for one year. It is further suggested that we apply $200,000 in savings from
other street projects and interest earnings toward the Preventive Street Maintenance
Program to keep it fully funded at $600,000 and continue the program's success.

By planning and prioritizing, we will address our community's most essential needs and make
a few service enhancements. We propose to upgrade our postage machine as required by
the United States Postal Service. As mandated by the State, we will implement the 2003
International Building Code. Steps have already been taken to improve our Property
Protection Classification (PPC) Rating and provide residents some relief on their
homeowner's insurance premiums and we propose to complete phases 2 and 3 of the PPC
Rating analysis. A school crossing guard is proposed to be added at the new Walker Creek
Elementary to ensure the safety of the children attending the new school. A replacement
walk-in freezer is critical to safe and sanitary handling of the deceased animals at the Animal
Shelter and we propose to replace this critical piece of equipment due to its condition and the
safety of people and animals.
It is imperative for the City to continue to retain quality employees, as the success of our City
depends on them. We are in the service business and our employees are our services to the
public. The employee Medical Plan will not change, but premiums to employees will increase
due to rising healthcare costs and the rebuilding of reserve funds. The merit pay program is
recommended to continue in addition to implementing the Lump Sum Merit Pay Program in
January 2006 for those eligible employees at the top of their pay range to provide an
economic incentive for continued strong performance. Finally market adjustments will be
delayed this fiscal year, but are anticipated to return in the 2006/2007 fiscal year.
The recently completed Water and Sewer Rate Study will be incorporated into this year's
Utility Fund budget. Although rates will increase slightly, they will remain competitive with our
neighboring cities and ensure our utility system needs are addressed. Finally, the proposed
budget maintains the current $0.57 property tax rate for the 13th consecutive year.
Department Directors, the Finance and Budget Departments and City Management have put
a great deal of time and effort into preparing a balanced budget, while also incorporating the
City Council's Goals and Objectives. We are grateful for their dedication and teamwork. We
could not have met the challenges and presented a sound budget document without their
cooperation and efforts. The City Council should also be commended for its leadership and
vision. The Council's Goals and Objectives are the driving force that ensures the City will
continue to provide quality services and address critical needs. The future looks bright, and I
along with staff commend the City Council for the time and dedication they have put forth to
make sure North Richland Hills continues to be the City of Choice to Live, Work, and Play.
Respectfully Submitted,
Larry J. Cunningham
City Manager

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.
. 2.
3.
4.
5.
Reduce response time to calls for service;
Reduce occurrence of call stacking;
Increase officer visibility;
Enhance crime-fighting tools through new equipment and updated technology;
Reduce gang-related activity.
To accomplish these goals the following resources were provided:
1. Ad"dition 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, 2005 will be approximately $2.4 million.
Original sales tax projections estimated collections of approximately $3.5 million
annually. Based on these projections, by the end of fiscal year 2005 the District should
have collected approximately $32.4 million in sales taxes. Based on actual collections
in fiscal years 1996 through 2004 and projected collections for fiscal year 2005, total
estimated collections as of September 30, 2005 would be approximately $35.2 million.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Since July 1996, many positive results have been realized In answer to the goals
established by the District.
· The department responded to 120,711 calls for service in fiscal year 2004 as
compared to 91 ,291 calls for service in fiscal year 1996, a 32% increase.
· Total arrests in 2004 were up from 1996 by 1,975, a 62% increase.
· Total charges in 2004 were up from 1996 by 5,797, a 72% increase.
· During 2004, Part I Crimes have decreased 2.6% over 2003.
. · Total violations issued were up by 9% from 1996 through 2004.
· Average response times for priority 1 calls have decreased by 4 minutes and 33
seconds from 1996 through June 30, 2005.
· During 2004 case clearance rates were 33.6% for all crimes combined.
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 . $17.5 million to 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

.
I'
Contributed over $900,000 to the city vehicle replacement plan.
6. Funding of $93,000 for radios and crime scene equipment.
2005/2006 PROPOSED BUDGET
The 2005/2006 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 proposed in the 2005/2006 Crime Control and Prevention District
Budget.
;Tfªi}sítibil"Eynd
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 $3.4 million or two-thirds of projected operations for one year is
available at the end of the ten-year referendum 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 to pay
for one-time purchases of capital items. Given the continued decline in sales tax
revenues, there is a need to utilize the Transition Reserve Fund to assist with
operations in 2005/2006. To this end we will deviate from this policy with the
understanding the Transition Fund will be replenished as the economy improves.
We believe that this reflects prudent use of these funds.
Through prudent management of budget expenditures, the revised 2004/2005
CCD budget includes a decrease in the loan of $82,236. The City Council
approved a loan from the Transition Fund in the current year budget of $855,949.
The decrease in the loan from the Transition Fund to assist with operations was
possible because of salary savings from position vacancies. Againt using the
Transition Fund to assist with operations is an exception to the policy established
by the City Council that will not be continued as the economy improves; however,
deviation from this policy is necessary because of the economic downturn. 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
professionals, but also to attract quality personnel. The establishment of a Transition
Fund, projected at $2.4 million in 2005, 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. The projected balance
of the transition fund at the end of the ten year referendum is estimated to be
approximately $3.4 million. 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 be down slightly in the coming year, and will monitor
collections closely adjusting the CCO 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 2005/2006 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, 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 2005/2006 totals $21.328.243. 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. Citizens voted to approve a bond package for City
infrastructure/facility improvements valued at approximately $37.2 million in February 2003.
Debt issuance proposed for 2005/2006 is $14,495,000, comprising $3,095,000 in general
obligation bonds and $11,400,000 in certificates of obligation. General obligation bonds will
be used for continuing projects that require additional funding in 2005/2006, new projects
that will begin in 2005/2006, and to reimburse the reserves that were used to pay for projects
originally funded from the 2004/2005 general obligation bond sale. Per the reimbursement
resolution passed on April 11, 2005, the City Council approved the use of reserve funds to
pay for projects that were to have been funded through the postponed 2004/2005 bond sale,
with the understanding that these reserves would be restored in the 2005/2006 general
obligation bond sale.
The general obligation bond funding for continuing and new projects is $1,950,000. These
projects include Rufe Snow Drive (Mid-Cities Boulevard to Hightower Drive), the Davis
Boulevard/Mid-Cities Boulevard Intersection, the Holiday/Chapman/Meadow Signalization,
and Simmons Drive (Mid-Cities to New Library). The reimbursement amount is $1,145,000,
consisting of $195,000 for street projects, $200,000 for drainage projects, and $750,000 for
facilities projects. Combined, general obligation bond funding comes to $3,095,000.
·
·
·
..
Certificates of obligation will be issued for $11,400,000. Of this, $1,095,000 will fund the
Catering Building, First Phase Attraction, and Group Pavilion Areas at NRH20. Additionally,
$1,555,000 will fund the replacement of an aerial ladder truck, an ambulance for the Fire
Department, and various golf equipment and heavy machinery like a backhoe, rubber tire
roller, and dump trucks. Certificates of obligation in the amount of $8,750,000 will also be
issued for the Central NRH Library, a Tax Increment Finance District #2 project.
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 213 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
2005/2006 level of fundina is $600.000. These funds will allow us to improve the overall
condition of approximately 60 streets to include complete resurfacing of 14 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 2005/2006 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
$3.1 million since inception. The proposed 2005/2006 addition to this reserve is $100.000.
Staff has updated the ten-year Equipment Replacement and Building Services Plan, which
City Council approved in 1996/1997. The Building Services Pay-as-you-go Plan estimates
over $22 million in expenditures over the next ten years for building services operations and
capital maintenance to protect our investment in City facilities. The Equipment Services Plan
estimates the replacement of $17.4 million in equipment and another $18.5 million for
equipment maintenance over the next ten years. Of this $36 million total, $27.5 million is
proposed to be pay-as-you-go.
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.

Review Development Plan for the Dog Park Facility
The Parks and Recreation Department is planning for the development of the dog park facility
located on property purchased and incorporated into Northfield Park. A preliminary draft of the
Dev'elopment Plan has been prepared by staff.
The project involves the design and construction of an. "off-leash" area for dogs and includes a
fenced 2 acre large dog area, a fenced 1 acre small dog area, a 33 car parking lot, associated
irrigation, turf establishment and signage. The development plan includes a dog wash station
and additional head-in parking along the entrance drive to the park for consideration as
alternates if the budget allows. Safety rules and regulations are currently being developed by a
committee composed of staff from Animal Services, Parks and Recre~tion and interested
citizens.
The Park and Recreation Board reviewed the proposed development plan at their August 1,
2005 meeting. After thoro'lJgh discussion, the Board recommended to forward a
recommendation to City Council to consider approving the Development Plan.
Upon concurrence of the Council, staff will complete the construction documents and detailed
plans and specifications to solicit bids for the construction of the facility.
