Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Planning Workshop -Agenda
INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR# 2008-072
Date: June 16, 2008
Subject: Planning and Program of Services Workshop Meeting -
Fiscal Year 2008/2009
At the Planning and Program of Services Workshop Meeting this year, City Council and Staff
will discuss the 2008/2009 FY preliminary budget and current and future issues that will affect
city services and have an impact on the budget. Staff will also provide updates on current
projects that have a fiscal impact on the City. At the meeting, Council will have the
opportunity to give Staff direction on these different issues. It should be noted, that the
budget Council and Staff will be discussing is very preliminary at this point and will change
greatly before the August budget workshop.
Staff will present the FY 2006/2007 year end balances, FY 2007/2008 revised budget,
preliminary tax roll information and preliminary revenue estimates with preliminary requested
expenditures. Council and Staff will also discuss how the current and future issues presented
could affect the upcoming year's budget. Again, the budget numbers are extremely
preliminary. Many of the expenditures will be reduced following further managerial review.
Staff will also further study the projected revenue to assure against overspending.
Funds will be tight again this year. Although sales tax revenues have been fairly strong this
year, we do expect sales tax to be relatively flat in the coming year. Because of this, most
departments will not see their decision packages approved. In fact, as in years' past, all
departments have also turned in minimum service packages, or ideas to cut their budgets but
still provide high quality service. Every department has listed its goals and priorities and
based its budget decisions on those.
The new library will have an impact on the upcoming year's budget as a result of funding it for
a full year. These increases can be seen especially for building maintenance and utilities for
the larger facility. Additionally, we, like all consumers, will have to address the increasing
costs of fuel for the City fleet. We are continuing to review requested expanded service
levels. We obviously will look at any urgent or significant priority requests for consideration.
The City is committed to keeping a balanced budget while providing a high level of service to
North Richland Hills residents. And it will continue to do so in FY 2008/2009.
At this meeting, Council and Staff will discuss the upcoming year's budget. The other
information is provided to put the budget in perspective. Staff will be available for any
questions Council might have.

fines. General Fund expenditures support the functions of streets, traffic, planning,
inspections, culture and leisure, communications, public safety and administrative
services.

~s> - Resulting savings are due to extended vacancies within this department.

"~, Date: June 17, 2008
~, ,'~ ~. Subject: Revenue and Expenditure Report for the Eight Months Ended
`~' May 31, 2008
The Revenue and Expenditure Report for the eight months ended May 31, 2008 is attached for
your review. An overall summary sheet of each fund is presented to provide an overview of the
first eight months of fiscal year 2008. The more detailed revenue and expenditure reports follow
the summary. Please note that some estimates are used, for example, in sales tax receipts for
May. We believe these estimates to be reasonable and reflect a conservative picture of the
City's financial status at this time.
For comparison purposes, fiscal year 2007 year-end and year-to-date actual figures are
presented. Also, fiscal year 2008 adopted and revised budgets are presented. The revised
budget includes adopted revisions and encumbrances. Encumbrances are items that were
approved by Council in the prior year, but actually purchased, paid for and completed in the
current fiscal year.
GENERAL FUND
Total revenues in the General Fund through May were $27,486,415 which represents an
increase of $1,330,633 compared with the same time in fiscal year 2007. Some revenue
highlights for fiscal year 2008 include:
1. Current Property Tax collections for the year 2008 were $11,247,768 or 89.30% of
budget, compared with $10,131,371 for the same period last year. The City has received

4- Licenses and Permit revenue collections totaled $1,356,780, which is an
increase of $233,709 from prior year levels at this time. The majority of this

Overall, General Fund expenditures for the year totaled $24,246,752 or 64.12% of the
revised budget. As previously mentioned, the revised budget and the May 2008 year-
to-date numbers include prior year encumbrances. As mentioned last month,
expenditures in the Office of Emergency Management through May 2008 totaled
$283,020 or 83.64% of budget, which represent radio voice operations and
maintenance fees due at the end of the first quarter of FY 2008.
PARK & RECREATIONAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FUND
Sales tax revenues in the Park Development Fund totaled $2,885,531 compared to
$2,774,549 for the same time period in FY 2007. Tennis Center revenues totaled
$189,525 compared to $168,762 collected last year, which represents a slight increase

70.54% of budget.

CRIME CONTROL DISTRICT
Sales tax revenues in the Crime Control District (CCD) totaled $2,716,548 compared to
$2,612,065 in fiscal year 2007. Operating expenditures totaled 65.33% of budget.
Although the Crime Control District and the Park Development Fund each are funded by
a half-cent sales tax, the total collections for the CCD are less than the Park Fund. Per
State law, the CCD excludes sales tax on utility services such as electric service and
telephone service while in the Park Fund utility services are taxed.
PROMOTIONAL FUND
Occupancy ,taxes are due on a quarterly basis and are paid by the end of the month
after each quarter. Occupancy tax revenues totaled $118,194 this year compared to
$149,826 in FY 2007. Last year an audit of occupancy taxes resulted in receipt of some
back payments, which is why last year's to date revenues are larger than this year.
Revenues from all other sources in this fund totaled $7,870 this year compared to
$5,981 in FY 2007. Economic Development expenditures are 61.87% of budget
including prior year encumbrances. As mentioned above, these are items that were
approved by Council in the prior year, but actually purchased, paid for, and completed in
the current fiscal year.
DONATIONS FUND
Donations Fund revenues for the first eight months of fiscal year 2008 were $111,721
compared to $132,351 in FY 2007. Donations Fund revenues primarily consist of the
voluntary water bill contributions by citizens of North Richland Hills. Expenditures
totaled $34,676 or 23.84% of budget.
UTILITY FUND
Operating revenues in the Utility Fund were $12,672,332 through May compared to
$11,827,837 in FY 2007. The majority of the increase is due to water sales. Typically,
water sales increase as rainfall decreases as shown in the graph below. Operating
expenses were $12,119,062 compared to $10,956,496 in FY 2007. The majority of this
increase is due to Trinity River Authority water costs.

Aquatic Park revenues were $682,827 compared to $569,560 in FY 2007. Operating
expenses totaled $1,108,030 which is 39.16% of budget. It is typical for expenditures to
outpace revenues early in the season. At this point, there is no concern that revenues
will not cover expenditures for this season.
GOLF COURSE FUND
Rounds of golf through May were 32,654 compared to 29,867 last year. Total operating
revenues through May were $1,469,669 compared to $1,371,356 in FY 2007, an
increase of $98,313. Total operating expenses and capital outlay were $1,016,400
compared to $832,347 in FY 2007.
BUILDING SERVICES FUND
Operating expenses in Building Services Fund through the year totaled $1,107,315
compared to $959,545 for the same period in FY 2007. Increases in operating expenses
over last year are due to previous year encumbrances. As mentioned above, these are
items that were approved by Council in the prior year, but actually purchased, paid for
and completed in the current fiscal year.

EQUIPMENT SERVICES FUND
Operating expenditures in the Equipment Services Fund for the year total $1,899,905 or
69.40% or budget compared to $1,638,153 for the same period in FY 2007. The
majority of these expenses represent the purchase of replacement vehicles for various
departments and an assortment of lawn maintenance equipment approved in the FY
2008 budget.
INFORMATION SERVICES FUND
Included in current year expenditures are prior fiscal year encumbrances for computer
upgrades in several divisions of the department. These encumbrances account for the
increase from the adopted budget to the revised budget. As mentioned above, these are
items that were approved by Council in the prior year, but actually purchased, paid for
and completed in the current fiscal year.
Expenditures in the GIS Network division for the year totaled $211,550 compared to
$148,895 for the same period last year. These expenses represent purchases for
scanning hardware and payments of annual software maintenance for the Laserfiche
imaging system approved in the FY 2008 budget.
SELF-INSURANCE FUND
Health and medical claims through April were $3,431,631 compared to $2,656,037 for
the same period in fiscal year 2007, which is $775,594 higher and is due to more claims
being filed so far this year. Due to the billing cycle of the third party administrator, health
and medical claims are one month behind so May claims are not available at the time of
this report. Insurance Fund claims through March and Human Resources operating
expenses through May totaled $4,063,638 which is 50.87% of budget.

Texas Municipal Retirement System
~~~"'~
The Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) was created by law in 1947 to provide
secure retirement for municipal employees. The City of North Richland Hills is one of
821 member cities. Over the past few years demographic and economic factors have
contributed to an increase in retirement costs. Demographic changes include lower
employee turnover rates and an increase in retiree-to-active employee ratios.
Economic factors include a decline in bond market interest rates and the cost of
annually repeating benefits such as updated service credits and cost of living
adjustments. TMRS began a strategic initiative in 2006 to address these concerns.
The TMRS Board began soliciting input from various stakeholders and also formed an
Advisory Committee, of which Councilman John Lewis is a member. The Board began
to examine investment methodologies, funding methods, and long term liabilities.
For much of its 60 year history, TMRS has invested primarily in fixed income
instruments (such as government, high quality corporate, and agency bonds). This
investment strategy provided a predictable annual income stream with minimal risk.
Recently, the interest income from bonds has dropped to the lowest level in many
years. In 2008, TMRS began to diversify its investment portfolio to include both stocks
and bonds. Investing in the stock market will be done gradually and is designed to
increase investment earnings while maintaining an appropriate level of risk.
Along with the change in investment strategy, the TMRS board recently adopted a new
actuarial method which will provide for better "pre-funding" of retirement benefits. Long-
term, this will allow cities to see more progress with reducing our unfunded liabilities.
The most significant impact of this new actuarial method is related to the pre-funding
requirements of two different plan provisions, cost of living adjustments (COLA's) and
updated service credits (USG's). 92% of TMRS member cities, including North
Richland Hills, have adopted these two benefits on an annually repeating basis.
Because they are annually repeating benefits, the actuarial study treats these as
"committed benefits", which must be advance funded over the working life of each
employee. The impact of advance funding these two benefits is the main reason why
city contribution rates and costs are increasing.
Last month the City received its rate letter from TMRS for calendar year 2009. With the
same level of benefits offered next year as we have today, TMRS anticipates our
contribution rate to increase to 18.43% up from 13.60%. Options are available to the
City to either phase in the cost increase over a period of eight years or Council could
consider adjusting benefit levels to lower our overall contribution rate. Should the
Council choose the eight-year phase in option, the City's contribution rate for 2009
would increase to 14.26% compared to our 2008 rate of 13.60%. At the mid-year
budget work session, Staff will be providing Council information regarding the changes
that the TMRS Board of Directors implemented January 1, 2008 and its impact to the
City as well as our employees and retirees. Also, in preparation for the 08/09 budget,
Staff will be seeking Council direction regarding any possible changes to the City's
TMRS benefits.

Questions
~.~'"~
• With the ability to fund, is Council interested in maintaining the current level of
TMRS retirement benefits for our employees and retirees?
• Would Council like to adopt the 8-year phase-in option for calendar year 2009
while legislative changes are being considered?
• If not, what benefit options would you like staff to analyze?
• With the ability to fund, would Council want staff to consider voluntary
contributions towards reducing the City's TMRS unfunded liability?

Discretionary Gas Franchise Fee Increase
~. ~"~
Pursuant to the recent Settlement Agreement, at a city's request, Atmos will approve
the execution of, or amendment to, the city's franchise agreement to increase franchise
fee payments. The agreement, which caps the increase at a maximum of five (5)
percent of gross revenues for gas sold within city limits, is effective for franchise
payments made on May 1, 2008 or the effective date of the amendment changing the
franchise agreement, whichever is later. The franchise fee is charged to Atmos for
using the public streets, alleys, grounds and rights-of-way within the City for supplying
gas to the residents of North Richland Hills.
The gas franchise fee is currently 4% which equates to $375,000 - $400,000 in revenue
to the General Fund per year. An increase of 1 % to the franchise fee would generate
approximately $100,000 more per year. The increase in the franchise fee would be
passed on to Atmos customers as an increase in their monthly bills. The average
residential customer's bill would increase by approximately $0.50 to $0.60 cents per
month.
The increase to the franchise payment is discretionary, not mandatory. If Council
desires to increase the fee, it will be necessary to pass an ordinance amending the
existing franchise agreement with Atmos.
Questions:
• Is City Council supportive of modifying the franchise agreement with Atmos
Energy to increase the franchise fee by 1 %?

Ambulance Fee Study
NRH
The City of North Richland Hills has established base fees for ambulance service in the
City for both residents and non-residents. EMS ambulance service fees are set by
Council and reviewed and adjusted periodically based on the Consumer Price Index.
For the last several years the CPI adjustments have not kept pace with the rising costs
of health care in general, and EMS ambulance fees specifically. The Fire Department
Staff has conducted an ambulance fee survey of EMS providers in our area. The
survey indicates that the City of North Richland Hills should consider a base fee
increase to bring it in line with the fees charged for similar EMS ambulance services in
our region.
Staff has reviewed our EMS ambulance fees in North Richland Hills and those of similar
systems in our region. The purpose of this study was to develop a proposal to bring the
City's ambulance fee structure more in line with those in our region. The process
included the following Staff members; Assistant City Manager Jared Miller, Fire Chief
Andy Jones, Finance Director Larry Koonce, and Budget Director Mark Mills. Staff
studied the current fee structure in our region, compared our fees with EMS systems
similar to the NRH EMS system, evaluated the current and future funding requirements
to maintain a high performance EMS system in our City, and formulated options for
Council consideration.
The findings for the City of North Richland Hills include the following:
• Base rates for residents/non-residents are $363/$495.
• Revenue per call for residents/non-residents is $218/298.
• Collects between 60% and 65% of billed ambulance fees.
• Cost recovery for resident/non-resident is 27%/37%.
• We do not charge for treat-no-transport calls.
The findings for the comparison communities with similar EMS Ambulance services:
• Average base rates for residents/non-residents are $778/$830.
• Average treat-no-transport fee is $206.
The NRH EMS ambulance service is a high performance system that exceeds the
levels of service typically found in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. That assessment is
based upon a number of factors including response times, level of EMS skills provided,
and the capabilities of our local hospital (North Hills Hospital is a Cycle II Chest Pain
Center). If we revise our EMS ambulance fees to the average of our comparison
communities, our cost recovery from resident/non-resident fees would increase from
27%/37% to ^-60%/67%.

Preventive Street Maintenance Program
NRH
As Council is aware inflation and the rising fuel costs are having a significant impact on
many of the city's programs. One such program is the Preventive Street Maintenance
Program. For the past few years Council has approved $800,000 per year for the
program. The intent of the additional funds was for staff to make improvements on
more streets. Staff has been able to include more streets in the program but because of
escalating construction costs the additional number of streets involved is not
proportional to the additional funding provided by Council. The table below indicates
the cost increases in the various construction materials used in the program during the
last 3 years.
Program Cost Increases
Item 2006 2007 2008 % Increase since
2006
Asphalt $ 32.00 $ 41.00 $ 49.58 55%
Concrete $ 59.50 $ 72.00 $ 74.00 24%
Curb/Gutter $ 18.22 $ 19.18 $ 19.95 10%
Slurry Seal $ 1.77 $ 1.85 $ 1.91 8%
In order to show how inflation has impacted the program since 2006, the total number of
square yards (SY) of street that is scheduled to be improved with a 2-inch asphalt
overlay in this year's program was calculated. Then a cost per square yard was
calculated using both the 2006 and 2008 cost of construction materials. The
comparison of this year's program (2008) shown with construction material costs for
both 2006 and 2008 is show below
Total area of street that will be overlaid this year ................ 41,176 SY
Total cost of 2008 Program for 2-inch overlays ....................$688,122
(using 2008 construction material cost)
Total cost of 2008 Program for 2-inch overlays ....................$613,816
(using 2006 construction material cost)
2006 2008 Annual % Increase
Pavement Repair $14.68 $16.71 13%
As shown above, it cost the City approximately 13% more per year to overlay streets
since 2006.
Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Planning Workshop -Current fssctes
Current Issues NCH
We are not certain at this time how inflation may impact next year's program. If it is
assumed that the inflation rate will be the same next year as it was for this year and the
year before, then the cost of the 2-inch asphalt overlays will increase by 13% and the
cost for a slurry seal will increase by 8%. The table below reflects how much additional
funding would be needed in order to offset inflation costs.
Maintenance Process Inflation Rate 2008 Cost 2009 Cost Increase
2" Asphalt 13% $ 688,122.00 $ 777,578.00 $ 89,456.00
Slurry Seal 8% $ 111,878.00 $ 120,828.00 $ 8,950.00
Total increase in cost for the same program assuming the same inflation rate. $ 98,406.00
Based on the table above and assuming the same inflation rate, the City would need to
increase the budget for the Preventive Street Maintenance Program by approximately

Recreation Center (Cost Recovery, Cost of Operations)
On March 24, 2008 Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Brinkley
Sargent Architects (BSA) for design and engineering of the new recreation center. The
Recreation Center will be located south of Mid Cities Blvd and east of Davis Blvd. Staff is
currently working with the developer to resolve site related issues. At this time bonds are
scheduled to be issued in FY 2009. Once design begins, the project is expected to take
three years to complete.
The need for a centrally located recreation center was first identified by our citizens in the
1991 Park System Master Plan. Nine years later when the Plan was updated, citizens once
again placed a new recreation center as one of the top priorities. This same need was again
expressed in the 2007 Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. A Public Attraction
Facility Market and Economic Analysis prepared by the Leland Consulting Group and
completed in September 1998, quantitatively and statistically demonstrated the need for
recreation center services as well.
The Leland Study recommended an 80,000 - 100,000 square feet facility with indoor aquatic
features and other facility attraction amenities. The development and construction cost for
the facility was estimated at 21,900,000 which is the current budgeted amount. Of that
amount, $1,100,000 will be funded out of the Parks '/ Sales Tax with the remaining amount
funded from the TIF.
Facility Design and specific amenities will strongly influence the ability to recover costs and
subsequently the level of subsidy. While fees and charges are expected to cover a
percentage of operational costs, the General Fund will continue to provide the current level
of funding that is provided for the existing recreation center and any subsidy beyond those
two revenue sources will be provided through the Parks CIP Fund.
The Executive Summary of the Leland Study suaaested a 75% cost recovery for the new
facility. To achieve this level of cost recovery, pricing of memberships and programs will
need to be established accordingly. The Scope of Services with Brinkley Sargent includes
Financial Feasibility & Business Modeling which will include projected expenses and
revenues based on the design and mix of amenities. To achieve the cost recovery goal it is
likely that usage fees will increase. The new recreation center will provide a greater
membership value than the current one, with outstanding amenities that will likely include a
10,000 square feet fitness center, walking track, double gymnasium and indoor water.
Question:
Does Council continue to support the 75% cost recovery goal?

Replacement of Network and Communications Infrastructure
There is a proposed capital project that consists of replacing the City's network and
telephone hardware at a cost of $700,000 ($400,000 telephone, $300,000 data). The
current network hardware (Avaya) is five years old and is no longer being
manufactured. Avaya has removed itself from the data network market making
maintenance very expensive and parts difficult to find. When equipment breaks it is
necessary to cannibalize abandoned equipment we have on hand to get the broken
equipment back up and running. Additionally, it has become virtually impossible to find
prospective employees who are skilled on the Avaya equipment. As technology has
advanced, the number of systems City staff uses to complete their jobs has grown
causing network traffic to increase at a phenomenal rate over the past five years. It is
imperative that the City replace its network with a reliable and up to date system.
The City's Fujitsu phone system is 10 years old. Fujitsu discontinued manufacturing the
system and parts a couple of years after it was installed in 1998. An American
company, Altura, purchased the rights to sell maintenance and the remaining Fujitsu
9600 systems and parts. The City has used Altura as their maintenance provider and
they have done a great job over the years supporting the City's system. However, parts
are hard to find, training for staff is in Arizona, and we are experiencing more and more
issues with the phone system.
At the new Library, the City installed Cisco equipment, including Cisco's phone system.
This has positioned the City to replace the remainder of its facilities with this proposed
project. The replacement of the City's network and telephone infrastructure will provide
the City with next generation network equipment and IP telephone equipment. This
means that both data and phone traffic will travel and be controlled by the same
equipment. Additionally, it will work seamlessly with the City's new voicemail system.
The project will allow City staff to train locally and provide advanced monitoring, security
and diagnostic tools.
Replacing both systems at the same time will:
• Allow us to take advantage of shared labor costs for implementation and training;
• Handle all network design issues at one time. Since both voice and data will be
using the same equipment, we want to make absolutely sure we account for all
traffic at design time;
• Allow the ability to manage both phone and data systems through a single
application interface;
• Decrease wiring costs because both the phone and computer will use the same
network jack;
• Allow the City to discontinue maintenance with Altura for the current phone
system, reducing maintenance costs the first year by $60,000;
• Allow the City to take advantage of the network staff to support the phone
system; and
• Affect users only once.

Rail Initiatives
~'"'~
In 2006 the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T) hired the consulting firm of URS
to conduct a feasibility study of the implementation of some type of mass transit system
from southwest of downtown Fort Worth to north of DFW Airport. This study was
named the Southwest-to-Northeast Transportation Corridor Study.
Two (2) committees were initially set up to provide the T and URS direction throughout
the study process. These committees are the Community Resource Council (CRC)
which is primarily composed of neighborhood HOAs and interested individuals and a
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) which is made up of affected city and other
governmental/quasi-governmental staff members. Councilmember Tim Welch
participates on the CRC and staff members John Pitstick and Gregory Van
Nieuwenhuize are members of the TAC.
The Southwest-to-Northeast Transportation Corridor Study mainly evaluated the
potential implementation of various transportation technology options from new
freeways, to new HOV or managed lanes, to bus route expansion, to rail technologies.
This study culminated in the determination of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)
which was the addition of a passenger rail system along DART's current freight-only
Cottonbelt rail line. In late 2006, the T's Board of Directors unanimously endorsed the
Preliminary LPA.
Upon this approval, URS began the Environmental Impact Statement process. As a
part of this process, rail station locations were considered and evaluated. Presently, rail
station locations have been identified at Iron Horse Boulevard, immediately north of
Loop 820, and within the Smithfield area, immediately east of Smithfield Road. Upon
City Council's approval, these two (2) areas have been identified as mixed-use districts
and the future development within each of these districts will include a large transit
orientated development component.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is anticipated to be complete in June
2008 and a 45-day public comment time period will begin thereafter. Public Hearings
regarding the DEIS will be conducted throughout this summer. Following completion of
the formal public hearings, URS will prepare responses to comments received on the
DEIS and incorporate edits where appropriate. After the DEIS is edited and includes
comments and responses, the document will be considered the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS). It is anticipated that the FEIS will be submitted to the Federal
Transit Administration in mid-2009 for approval which will allow for the project to move
forward.
The current timeline for initial passenger rail service in this corridor is late 2012 to early
2013. Prior to providing passenger rail service, strategic locations within the existing
Cottonbelt corridor will need to be double-tracked, including at all rail station locations.
Double-tracking will allow the continued use of freight trains on this rail line, while
Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Planning Workshop -Current Issues
Current Issues NCH
providing for the additional use of passenger rail service. A fully double-tracked corridor
is anticipated around 2030.
The main hurdle to adding passenger rail service on the existing Cottonbelt line is the
costs involved for the implementation and the continued costs of maintenance and
operations for the service. Prior to the last legislative session, local leaders urged
members of the State legislature to allow cities the ability to call an election to adopt an
additional sales tax beyond the maximum allowable rate if this additional sales tax was
for regional rail. The legislature did not take any action on this issue and since then
businesses have organized to oppose such an action. In order to address the
businesses' concerns, the Regional Transportation Council created a subcommittee
called the Transit Authority Partnership. The primary purpose of this subcommittee was
to investigate other possible funding options and to address the businesses concerns
about the sales tax funding option. The subcommittee's effort in looking at different
funding options is called Rail North Texas. Other funding options that are being
considered by Rail North Texas are one or a combination of the following:
• Increase in the sales tax
• A gas sales tax
• A motor vehicle sales tax
• Increase in the motor vehicle registration fee
• A local option gas tax
• A vehicle miles driven tax
• Anew resident impact fee
• A transportation property tax
• Local subsidy options
Questions:
• Does the Council have a preference for the currently considered funding options?
• Conversely, is Council opposed to any of the currently considered funding
options?

Sustainable Development Planning
~~~"'~
The City of North Richland Hills has taken a proactive approach toward planning for
future commuter rail access. In the FY 2006/07 adopted budget City Council approved
$85,000 in capital funds for developing a sustainable development strategy and
ordinance to begin the process in creating a transit oriented mixed use district around
the two future commuter rail station sites (Iron Horse and Smithfield).
In addition, ongoing efforts have also been made by City Council and staff through: the
2004 Regional Rail Corridor Study that identified two future rail stations in North
Richland Hills; the 2006 North Central Texas Council of Governments sustainable
planning grant; the 2007 SW to NE Rail Corridor Study that has further refined rail
station planning efforts; and, the recent November 12, 2007 Comprehensive Plan
Update that identified mixed use planning districts around Iron Horse and Smithfield rail
station areas. City Council has also dedicated to this point $700,000 for land and
development costs.
Staff is moving forward with a request for qualifications (RFQ) for hiring a consulting firm
to review the existing Home Town ordinance and establish new mixed use codes for the
Iron Horse and Smithfield station areas. We plan to have this process completed by
April, 2009 in preparation for the May, 2009 Council of Governments call for sustainable
development projects. If the City of North Richland Hills has adopted new sustainable
development codes at the time of the "call for projects" the City of North Richland Hills
will be eligible to apply for grants that could be used for land banking and public
infrastructure.
Development of new planning efforts around Iron Horse and Smithfield will stimulate
interest and put emphasis on properties surrounding the two future rail sites. With
anticipation of this focus it will be important to begin to purchase and preserve land for
rail sites and surrounding development. It will also be important for City Council to
reach a consensus and plan on how North Richland Hills will seek funding for commuter
rail.
Questions:
• Does City Council want to set aside additional funds for land and development
for future rail sites?
• Would Council be interested in other funding options for capital improvements at
future rail sites (bond packages, TIF district, regional grants)?

TIF #1 Expansion Efforts
History and Background
~'"'~
Tax Increment Finance District (TIF) #1 was created in 1998 with a 20 year financing
plan. The existing TIF #1 area is approximately 95 acres and there has been about $8
million in new growth created from 1998 to 2007 (10 years). All taxing entities, including
Birdville Independent School District (BISD), are participating in the existing TIF.
Following the October 2007 TIF #1 Board meeting, City staff began to study the
possibility of expanding the TIF to include new boundaries along Boulevard 26 which
would pay for new public improvements within the expanded district. In January 2008,
staff made a preliminary presentation of the TIF #1 expansion to City Council and
received consensus to proceed to develop a project plan and financing plan, as well as
to meet with all taxing entities to obtain participation in the expansion. Staff noted that
BISD can participate (pay taxes) only to the extent of the current boundaries of TIF #1.
Since BISD's current participation represents nearly 60% of TIF property tax revenues,
without their participation, financing for additional public improvements will not be
possible.
Project Plan Development
Public improvements in the new boundaries can include intersection improvements and
burying utilities. Staff already had a good estimate of the cost of intersection
improvements. Staff met with Oncor to discuss options for burying utility lines on the
North Richland Hills side of Boulevard 26 between Glenview and Rufe Snow. Both
parties looked at utility maps of the area and identified the following potential costs:
5,800 linear feet of bore @$250/foot
9 switchgears
20 transformers
@$30,000 each
@$15,000 each
Required easements for switchgears and transformers
Relocating above ground cable and phone lines
Conversion of light poles
Conversion of existing businesses to underground

*estimate -will need to employ outside electrical consultant to verify specific costs
Burying utilities for about 6,600 feet running from just south of Calloway Creek past the
Rufe Snow intersection will cost about $454 per linear foot just for one side of Boulevard
26. Oncor stated that they would not give the City a written estimate on this large

section because of unknown costs, but would provide a general map markup for general
utility improvements. Based on the City's current understanding of this major utility
effort, staff would recommend employing an outside consultant or contractor to verify
specific costs for burying utilities.
Meeting with Taxing Entities to Engender Participation
In an effort to obtain participation from the taxing entities, the Mayor and City Manager
met with officials of Tarrant County College and BISD in March and April. Reactions to
the presentations were favorable and they expressed interest in further exploring
expansion efforts.
In May, Larry Koonce and John Pitstick met with representatives from Tarrant County
and Tarrant County Hospital District to discuss the potential expansion of TIF #1.
Carolyn Sims, Precinct Administrator for Commissioner Gary Fickes, Lisa McMillan the
Economic Development Coordinator for Tarrant County and Scott Herndon from JPS
Health Network were present. City staff made a presentation of proposed expansion
efforts that included $2.5 million in public improvements within a 10 year time frame and
expanding the TIF boundaries from 95 acres to 211 acres. All attendees were in favor
of considering a TIF expansion.
Tarrant County representatives pointed out that the North Richland Hills' TIF #1 was the
smallest in terms of public improvements in the entire county, and encouraged North
Richland Hills to consider expanding the TIF boundaries and public improvement efforts
to justify expansion efforts that would bring substantial new growth to the area. They
also asked City staff to explore the possibility of extending the TIF timeframe beyond
the remaining 10 years.
Revised Project Plan Options
As a result of the meeting with Tarrant County and the Hospital District, staff went back
to the drawing board to expand TIF boundaries, increase public improvements and
explore the possibility of extending the time frame beyond the remaining 10 years. The
preliminary project plan presented to Council in January included Boulevard 26
intersection improvements at Rufe Snow and Glenview, burying of above ground utilities
along Boulevard 26, and the purchase of the old movie theater building within the Hills
Business Center site to be converted to public use. The rough estimation of costs was
$2.5 million. This plan included expanding the TIF boundaries from 95 acres to 211
acres. The estimated growth in taxable value over 10 years was estimated to be about
$12 million.
Staff explored expanding TIF boundaries to include all commercial properties in the
Boulevard 26 corridor area (except North Hills Hospital and Calloway Creek property)
from the southern City limits to Loop 820. This increased TIF property area from 211 to
392 acres. This, in turn, increased the potential growth of property values from $12
million to over $30 million in 10 years. The increased property values increased the

capacity of public projects from about $2 million to $3.5 million. The City's Bond
attorneys advised that, based on an Attorney General's opinion, the timeframe of a TI F
cannot be extended beyond its original length. Therefore, our expansion project plan
and financing plan will be limited to 2018 (ten years).
Based on the above mentioned parameters, staff is recommending two primary options
for TIF public projects. Below are the most appropriate options for the TIF #1 expansion
effort based on the latest information.
Option 1 - Emphasis on Burying Utilities and improving two Major Intersections
$3.5 million -10 years
Burying above ground utilities approximately 1.25 miles
(one side of roadway -approximately $454 per linear foot) $3,000,000
Glenview/Boulevard 26 and Rufe Snow/Boulevard 26
Intersection improvements $ 500.000
TOTAL $3,500,000
Option 2 - Emphasis on Major intersections and Gateways
$3.5 million -10 years
Glenview/Boulevard 26 and Rufe Snow/Boulevard 26
intersection improvements (Richland Hills matches
with additional $500,000) $ 500,000
Rodger Line/Boulevard 26 intersection improvements $ 500,000
Rufe Snow/Glenview intersection improvements $ 500,000
Calloway Creek intersection improvements $ 500,000
Loop 820 Gateway improvements $ 500,000
Southern Gateway improvements $ 200,000
Consolidating utilities at 4 primary Blvd. 26 intersections
($200,000 for each intersection) $ 800.000
TOTAL $ 3,500,000
Note: The purchase of the old movie theater building in The Hills business center was
eliminated from staff recommendations based on a concentrated emphasis on the
intersection and utility improvements. It was also discovered that this property is not for
sale at this time.

Public Facilities South of Loop 820
NRH
The former Food Lion building, located at 4131 Rufe Snow, was acquired in 2003 for $650,000
and has been vacant for several years. The site was purchased with the intent of providing
various community services. The date of loss with TML-Intergovernmental Risk Pool for this
facility due to the damages from copper theft was 01/09/06. The original claim amount for the
damages was $445,590.24, of which we have received $254,534.74. We have a $25,000
deductible, resulting in a potential remaining balance of $167,055.50. The remaining balance
represents the Replacement Cost Value (RCV) minus the sum of the Actual Cash Value (ACV)
and the Deductible (RCV - (ACV + D)). The remaining balance will only be paid to the City
upon repair or replacement of the damage. TML-Intergovernmental Risk Pool has granted an
extension to the City of North Richland Hills until 01/08/09. The city is to provide the Risk Pool a
copy of the contract and construction plans. The city will also need to submit appropriate
documentation showing expenses incurred and progress to date. After appropriate inspections
and reviews are conducted, the Risk Pool will consider what portion of the remaining
replacement cost balance can be paid.
Staff has hired Brinkley Sargent Architects to provide preliminary plans for a Community Center
at this location. The plans provided by Brinkley Sargent utilize 28,167 square feet of the
building for community/meeting areas, a recreation area and library services. The basic building
construction cost estimate is $2,150,000. The total project estimated cost including
development is $3,193,318. This estimate includes: site work and landscaping, architectural
and engineering fees, information services, furniture fixtures and equipment as well as a
contingency. Staff has obtained a geotechnical study from CMJ Engineering, Inc. to evaluate
the movement that has occurred with this building. Although the report indicates there is very
low potential for future expansive soil movement, portions of the building's interior floor slab and
exterior concrete will require removal and replacement. Staff also obtained a structural
engineer's evaluation from Frank W. Neal and Associates, Inc. It noted exterior concrete
removal and replacement for proper water drainage would be required. The warehouse portion
of the building has the most distress and would require removal of interior walls and portions of
the floor slab. The grocery store open portion of the building has the least amount of distress
and would require less modification to become useable for occupancy.
The Municipal Facility Master Plan prepared by Beck has named some alternative uses for this
facility. The first proposed use would be reusing the existing facility as proposed by Brinkley
Sargent Architects. Another potential use of this site could be new civic buildings. The last
proposed option would be to sell the property.
Questions:
• In order to have an opportunity to receive the balance of the damages, we
will need to prepare design and construction documents and move forward
with site development. Does Council wish to move forward with a project?
• Is Council comfortable using the current insurance proceeds to fund the
engineering and design of a community facility?

Property Tax Caps /Restrictions on Appraisals
1~-~-: -l
The last few legislative sessions have seen bills introduced that would limit the amount
of revenues cities could earn, place caps on the amount of property taxes that could be
raised and place restrictions on appraisals, including a reduction of the amount
appraisals could increase per year. It appears that the 2009 legislative session will
continue the trend. House Speaker Tom Craddick announced in April the creation of
the House Select Committee on Property Tax Relief and Appraisal Reform. This
committee is in addition to three other committees studying appraisals and/or tax
limitations. The three other committees are:
The House Committee on Appropriations - examining spending limit
methodologies found among the various states as they impact state and local
spending.
The House Committee on Local Government Ways and Means -studying
numerous aspects of the system for appraising property for property tax
purposes.
The Senate Committee on Finance's Subcommittee on Property Appraisal and
Revenue Caps -reviewing the property tax appraisal system and studying the
benefits and limitations of property tax appraisal caps compared to a limit on
revenue a local jurisdiction can receive without the approval of voters.
Cities have succeeded in the past, for the most part, with staving off bad taxation and
revenue legislation. As laid out above, you can see that we will once again have a
battle on our hands. Although there should be no impact to the 2008/09 budget, it is
highly likely there will be some sort of impact to future budgets.
Questions:

revenue and appraisal caps that will be introduced in the next legislative

~~_~_:1
Tax increment financing is a tool that local governments can use to publicly finance
needed structural improvements and enhanced infrastructure within a defined area.
These improvements usually are undertaken to promote the viability of existing
businesses and to attract new commercial enterprises to the area. The cost of
improvements to the area is repaid by the contribution of future tax revenues by each
taxing unit that levies taxes against the property. Tax increment financing may be
initiated only by a city.
The City of North Richland Hills has worked with the City of Richland Hills for several
years in a cooperative effort to make improvements along Boulevard 26 where it is
contiguous to both cities. At this point the improvements include intersection
enhancements, but additional improvements are desired. The issue with making
additional improvements is funding. A Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) between
the two cities would be an ideal way to fund projects along this common roadway.
Currently State law does not allow a TIF to cross city limit boundaries.
Staff would like to seek legislation in the 2009 legislative session to allow inter-city TIFs
to help fund projects such as the one between North Richland Hills and Richland Hills.
We see this as a great opportunity to promote cooperation between cities in revitalizing
aging areas such as we have along Boulevard 26.

H.R. 980 the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2007
Federal legislation, H.R. 980, was introduced on February 12, 2007 by Representative
Dale Kildee (D-MI). On July 17, 2007, this legislation passed the House of
Representatives by a vote of 314-97. It is currently pending consideration by the
Senate.
H.R. 980 grants collective bargaining rights to public safety employees, including law
enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical services personnel. Should
states or political subdivision within a state choose not to enter collective bargaining
agreements with its public safety employees, H.R. 980 provides for enforcement of this
Act's mandate through the United States Court of Appeals.
During the 79t" Texas Legislative session similar legislation known as Meet and Confer
(House Bill 204 and House Bill 2892) were passed into law. Meet and Confer allows a
representative police or fire association in cities with a population of 50,000 or more, to
meet and confer on any issues related to their employment. This can only be initiated
through a petition of the association with final authorization by the governing body or
through a certified election.
The City of North Richland Hills believes H.R. 980 is simply a duplication of what has
already become law in Texas. Furthermore, this type of legislation would negate the
labor protection laws of the states, labor agreements of states and municipalities,
existing civil service systems and the North Richland Hills Personnel Procedures.
Additionally, by allowing public safety employees to negotiate terms of employment,
such as wages, the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act essentially
results in a large unfunded federal mandate. We believe that the federal government
should not undermine municipal authority with respect to making fundamental
employment decisions. The City also believes this is an issue best resolved at the state
level, not by our federal government.
Questions:
• Should Staff, along with our consultants, continue the strategy of opposing
collective bargaining at the Federal level of government?

South Holiday District Improvement Program
The City must assure that its older neighborhoods retain their quality and character as
they age. To do this, the City must make sure that it maintains the aging infrastructure
and promotes individual home maintenance. Deterioration of either promotes the
deterioration of the other. The deterioration of both hurts the overall image of the City.
Along with efforts to revitalize Boulevard 26 and continuing efforts to expand TIF #1,
Staff wants to place a concentrated effort to preserve the South Holiday District, the
neighborhoods delineated by Boulevard 26, Glenview Drive, Rufe Snow Drive and NE
Loop 820. While all neighborhoods need to be monitored and protected, we want to
place special emphasis on this district. The neighborhoods in the district were
developed between the early 1950s and mid 1960s and represent a portion of the first
generation of neighborhoods in North Richland Hills.
City departments, including Public Works, Neighborhood Services and Planning and
Inspections, will work in the district to maintain the infrastructure and work with
homeowners to upkeep their homes to make sure the district retains the character it has
enjoyed for the past decades. Public Works would make sure that sewer and water
lines and streets are maintained. Neighborhood Services would keep a close eye on
code violations. And, Planning and Inspections would work with homeowners to
renovate their homes and target houses in need of repairs by connecting homeowners
with volunteer groups and the Neighborhood Improvement Program. The City will also
research rental maintenance ordinances and see if neighboring cities are successful in
implementation of such ordinances.
To continue the preservation effort, the City of North Richland Hills could offer special
programs to that district to encourage homeowners to preserve their individual homes.
The City of Richardson has implemented a Home Improvement Incentive that gives
homeowners a discount on property taxes if that homeowner invests at least $20,000
into their home. The City of Richardson pays the homeowner ten times the increased
property tax on a reinvested property one time to offset the property tax increase for a
ten year period. If the City of North Richland Hills wanted to follow this route, the City
would have to decide the amount of funding for the program and where the funding
should come from.

District?

Street and drainage improvements were an integral part of the authorized proposal.
Street projects were prioritized according to which projects would provide the most
positive impact on traffic flow and congestion in the City. Drainage projects were
ranked according to which project would protect the most property from flooding and
erosion. All public safety projects recommended by City staff were included in the bond
election. The projects were divided into three propositions according to the type of
project for the bond election. The election was held on September 27, 1994. All three
propositions passed by a 2 to 1 margin. The propositions are outlined as follows:
Amount
Amount Issued 2008 Authorized
Authorized To-Date Issue Un-issued
Streets $20, 000, 000 $19, 395, 000 $180, 000 $425, 000
Drainage 1,865,000 1,865,000 0 0
Public Safety 1,675,000 1,675,000 0 0
Totals: $23, 540, 000 $22, 935, 000 $180, 000 $425, 000
As of March 2008, the City has issued all but $605,000 for projects approved in the
1994 bond election: $19.4 million in street bonds, $1.9 million of drainage bonds, and
$1.7 million in public safety bonds. The 2008 G.O. bond sale will pay for signal, street
and utility improvements at Holiday Lane and Dick Lewis Drive in the amount of
$180,000. This will leave a balance of $425,000 from the 1994 election.
2003 BOND ELECTION PROGRAM
In fiscal year 2002, City Council appointed a Citizens Capital Improvements Study
Committee to evaluate major capital project needs for the City over the following seven
to ten years. The Committee evaluated and prioritized streets, drainage, and facility
improvements that would benefit the citizens of North Richland Hills. City management
and staff analyzed the financial impact of the capital improvements program. The
analysis included factors such as existing debt service obligations, the issuance of the
remaining 1994 bond authorization, estimations of future property value growth, and
impact on future operations.
The results of the analysis were based on conservative estimates of future property
value growth and the scheduled retirement of existing debt. The analysis indicated that
the 2003 debt tax rate of $.24 per hundred dollar valuation would support over $40

million of debt service through the year 2010. The committee identified $38.2 million
(over $30 million for street improvements alone) in projects needed to improve the
infrastructure and provide essential services to the citizens of North Richland Hills. The
committee presented the project list to City Council who called a bond election for
February 1, 2003. The referendum consisted of five separate propositions including
twenty-two street projects (arterial, collector, and residential streets), two drainage
projects, and five municipal facilities projects.
All of the propositions, except for the proposed authorization of $1 million in general
obligation bonds for Maintenance Service Center improvements, were approved by the
voters, and are now a part of the long-range financial plan of the City. The propositions
are presented in the following table:

Approved street projects included eight arterial streets, six collector streets, and eight
residential streets. Some of the major street projects were: Rufe Snow Drive, North
Tarrant Parkway, Glenview Drive, and Grapevine Highway (Boulevard 26). The two
drainage projects were Holiday West Channel and Meadowview Estates Channel.
Approved facilities projects were: Fire Training Facility expansion and upgrade, Fire
Stations #2 and #3 upgrades, Public Safety Facility upgrade, and the Animal Adoption
and Rescue Center expansion.
The 2008 G.O. bond sale will pay for the construction costs of street improvements to
North Tarrant Parkway (Davis to Whitley), Rufe Snow Drive (Mid-Cities to Hightower)
and Douglas Lane (Hightower to Starnes) totaling $4,000,000.

Traffic Signal Synchronization
~.~""~
Due to the significant growth that has occurred in Northeast Tarrant County during the
past two years there has been a significant increase in the traffic volumes along many
of the City's major thoroughfares. The three thoroughfares that have seen the largest
increase in traffic during this time period are Davis Boulevard, Boulevard 26 and Mid-
Cities Boulevard. Davis Boulevard and Mid-Cities Boulevard have had an increase in
traffic of approximately 20% and Boulevard 26 has experienced a 42% increase.
The traffic data that was used to develop the current timing plans was based on 2005
traffic volumes and patterns. Since a timing plan is developed for a given set of traffic
conditions, the current timing plans are not operating optimally. The City is updating the
timing plans for Davis Boulevard, Boulevard 26 and Mid-Cities Boulevard. A CIP project
titled Signal Timing Synchronization Update was approved by Council in the FY
2007/2008 Capital Projects Budget. The scope of this project, however, only included
Boulevard 26 and Mid-Cities Boulevard. Because two projects currently in development
(Davis/Mid-Cities Intersection and Davis Boulevard Lane Expansion) will significantly
change the capacity and traffic patterns on Davis Boulevard, an updated timing plan will
be sought for Davis Boulevard after the restriping and intersection improvements are
complete.
The City selected Lee Engineering to create the new signal timing plans for Boulevard
26 and Mid-Cities Boulevard. At this time the project is underway. The background
data and field information has been collected and a computer model of the roadway
network has been created. The project is expected to be complete with all proposed
modifications implemented during summer 2008. Observations will be made once
school begins in the fall, and any necessary (fine-tuning) adjustments will be made
accordingly.
• June 2008 and July 2008 -Develop traffic signal timing plans
• August 2008 to October 2008 -Implement and fine-tune traffic signal timing plans
• November 2008 -Final documentation
As mentioned above, Staff will perform the signal timing update along the Davis
Boulevard Corridor as soon as TxDOT has completed the lane expansion project.

Davis Boulevard Expansion
~.~"'~
Davis Boulevard is a major North/South thoroughfare that runs through Northeast
Tarrant County and specifically North Richland Hills. Current traffic volumes on Davis
Boulevard already cause traffic congestion and projected future development in this
area will increase that congestion. Consequently, Staff has proposed two projects that
will help to increase the capacity of this thoroughfare to handle future traffic volumes as
well as reduces current traffic congestion in this area. The two projects are the
expansion of Davis Boulevard from Emerald Hills Way to Starnes Road and the
improvement of the intersection located at Mid-Cities Boulevard and Davis Boulevard.
The Davis Boulevard Lane Expansion Project consists of expanding Davis Boulevard
(FM 1938) from 5 to 7 lanes beginning at Emerald Hills Way and ending at Starnes
Road, an approximate 2 mile segment. The project will involve restriping the existing
shoulder, reconstructing some of the shoulder sections and making minor signalization
improvements at all signalized intersections along this segment of roadway. The
expansion is necessary to accommodate increasing traffic volumes and congestion in
this area as a result of the completion of the 820/121/183 Interchange Project. The
restriping of the existing shoulder as additional lanes area will provide increased
capacity and reduce traffic congestion.
The Davis Boulevard Lane Expansion Project was originally setup through a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between TxDOT and the City. The MOU
specifies that the City is responsible for the engineering design of the project, while
TxDOT is responsible for the environmental process and construction activities. TxDOT
is now indicating that they are programming a standalone project that includes the
design, environmental process and construction activities for this segment of roadway.
The standalone TxDOT project would benefit the City as we would no longer be
responsible for the engineering costs for this project. Additionally, TxDOT has indicated
that they would expand the scope of the proposed project to include afull-width asphalt
pavement overlay from Birchwood Street to Starnes Road.
Staff originally combined the engineering design portion of this project with the Davis
Boulevard/Mid-Cities Boulevard Intersection Improvements and received Statement of
Qualifications (SOQ's) from interested engineering firms in May 2007. However, given
the possibility that TxDOT would assume full responsibility for the lane expansion
portion of the Davis Boulevard improvements, Staff has postponed pursuing design
services for the lane expansion portion of the project. Staff is continuing to coordinate
with TxDOT to obtain a definite project scope and schedule for their proposed lane
expansion project.
The Davis Boulevard/Mid-Cities Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project consists of
performing intersection improvements at the Davis Boulevard/Mid-Cities Boulevard
intersection. The project's design will include the widening of the roadway to
accommodate dual left turn lanes and dedicated right turn lanes for each leg of the
intersection. Additionally, the project will consist of drainage improvements and traffic
Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Planning Workshop - U,cdates
Updates t~RH
signal upgrades at the intersection to accommodate the additional travel lanes. These
improvements are necessary because this intersection is very congested during peak
hours. The intersection is located on major East/West and North/South thoroughfares
for Northeast Tarrant County. There has been significant growth along the Mid Cities
Boulevard corridor within the past two years including: a retail shopping center, several
office complexes and an independent living center. In order to reduce traffic congestion
and increase the capacity of this intersection to handle future traffic volumes, these
improvements are necessary.
As previously indicated Staff originally combined the engineering design portion of this
project with the Davis Boulevard Lane Expansion Project and received Statements of
Qualifications (SOQ's) from interested engineering firms in May 2007. However, given
the possibility that TxDOT would assume full responsibility for the lane expansion
portion of the Davis Boulevard improvements, staff only continued with the selection
process for the intersection improvements. The review committee for this project
selected the engineering firm TCB to complete design services in late 2007 based on
the SOQ's. Unfortunately after several months of negotiations we were unable to come
to mutually agreeable terms on the scope and fee for the intersection project with TCB.
Staff ended negotiations with TCB in March 2008 and began negotiations with Freese &
Nichols, Inc, the committee's next recommendation. Staff completed contract
negotiations with Freese & Nichols in May 2008 and brought the professional services
contract to City Council for consideration in June 2008.
Engineering Design is anticipated to begin in July 2008 and should be completed within
12-15 months, followed by right-of-way acquisition which is anticipated to take 6-9
months. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2010.

Boulevard 26
N~LH
The cities of Richland Hills and North Richland Hills continue to work together to
promote and enhance the Boulevard 26 Corridor. An economic feasibility study was
completed in 2004 by the Leland Group and HNTB that outlined specific strategies for
enhancement. In April, 2004, an Interlocal Agreement was established by both cities
creating an Oversight Committee made up of two city council members from each city
and one at-large local business person. Frank Metts and Joann Johnson were
appointed to the initial Oversight Committee from North Richland Hills. The Oversight
Committee has been meeting since July, 2004.
One of the major strategies identified in the South Grapevine Highway Corridor Strategy
was to conduct a branding and design effort for the Corridor. The Jet Powered Group
and Carter Burgess were hired in January 2005 to develop a new image for the area
through a branding and design study. After several months of public input and
numerous meetings by the Oversight Committee, city staff and both City Councils
reviewed and adopted a new name and branding effort in July, 2005. Boulevard 26
incorporates new urban design concepts for unique street signs and a modern theme in
an effort to stimulate redevelopment and bring more businesses and visitors to both
communities with an emphasis toward young professionals and young families.
The cities of Richland Hills and North Richland Hills officially changed the name of
Grapevine Highway to Boulevard 26 effective January 1, 2006 with the installation of
new, unique street signs. Also, following the adopted design criteria both cities have
hired Shrickel, Rollins and Associates (SRA) to design new street intersections at
Boulevard 26 and Rufe Snow and Boulevard 26 and Glenview.
Scott Turnage and David Whitson are the current members of the Boulevard 26
Oversight Committee from North Richland Hills. Jeff Ritter and Phil Heinze are the
current members from Richland Hills and Mike Rigby serves as the at-large business
person on the Committee. The Oversight Committee recommended approval of the
final concepts for the Boulevard 26 intersection improvements in October, 2006. Initial
intersection improvement plans were submitted to TxDOT in April, 2007.
TxDOT has required numerous changes to the initially submitted intersection
improvement plans. Throughout the remainder of 2007 and the first half of 2008, staff
and TxDOT have corresponded and met on numerous occasions regarding
improvements that would be acceptable to TxDOT. TxDOT guidelines and policies
have affected the project's pavement markings, signs, lighting, landscaping, etc. The
end result of TxDOT's requirements is that the current/final design will need to be
brought back to the Oversight Committee for their review and approval. In addition, the
cities will need to enter into an agreement with TxDOT which will require the cities to
accept maintenance responsibilities of many of the project's improvements that are
designed to brand this corridor.

Municipal Facility Master Plan
l~i~.~=~=:=1
City Staff has contracted with the Beck Group to conduct the Municipal Facility Master
Plan. The purpose of this study is to develop a master plan for the city's facilities.
These facilities include: Southside 820 Complex, City Hall, Police Department,
Neighborhood Services, vacant Food Lion, and other vacant or underutilized land or
facilities. The process is structured to study the current and future needs of existing
facilities and departments, and then determine how to structure those needs into
existing and future buildings.
Beck started the process last spring with data collection. They gathered relative
information related to the existing facilities and TxDOT requirements along with other
outside sources to understand the general scope of the projects. This included any and
all general fact finding. The objective was to acquire factual information that documents
the City's facility goals and objectives.
Beck then held collaborative work sessions with the City staff and specific user groups
to define programmatic needs of the City departments and review all regulatory
requirements as well as develop preliminary schedules and preliminary budgets related
to each project.
Currently, Beck is working with City representatives to plan out the facilities and confirm
each facility's programming. This involves exploring alternative programmatic options
and clearly defining the options that exist. Next, Beck will set design guidelines and an
implementation plan and process for each project that will consist of defined budgets
and schedules associated with each project.
Once all of that is complete, the Facility Master Plan will be presented to City Council for
review and comment.
This Municipal Facility Master Plan is necessary due to Loop 820 expansion. The
expansion of Loop 820 will directly affect City Hall, Southside 820 Complex, Richland
Tennis Center and Iron Horse Golf Course. With the combination of lost property and
growing citizen needs, the City needs to determine how it will grow in the future.

Insurance Fund

Through April 2008, the City's health plan is performing well and medical expenditures
are under budget. At this time, we are not aware of any significant medical claims,
therefore; we anticipate finishing this fiscal year under budget. In March 2008, the City
held its second annual Health Check wellness event. Health Check 2008 consisted of
three components: (1) Heath Risk Assessment, (2) Biometric Screenings, and (3)
Personal Health Coaching. Participation in Health Check 2008 exceeded expectations
with 269 participants. The City also saw increased participation in several other
wellness initiatives such as the NRH walking clubs, the employee/retiree health fair, and
the City's Weight Watchers at Work Program.
With the positive claims experience over the last several years coupled with the
significant plan design changes, we do not anticipate increasing co-pays, deductibles,
or out-of-pocket maximums for Plan Year 2009. Based on our medical claims
experience, next fiscal year we are projecting an overall cost increase of approximately
5%. To maintain the cost-sharing ratio, employees will be expected to share in that
increase in cost through a 5% increase in monthly medical premiums. In addition,
employees will continue to contribute to the City's medical reserves by paying an
additional $5 towards their monthly medical premiums. Although the City's claims
experience has been positive over the last several years, the City will continue to
proactively monitor and address health care costs through plan design changes as well
as employee wellness education and prevention efforts.

Compensation Plan

On February 24, 2003, Council adopted a resolution (No. 2003-01) recognizing the
need to compensate employees at a competitive market level in order to retain and
attract quality individuals. As part of this resolution, Council instructed City staff to
conduct annual salary surveys to determine market changes.
To maintain the Council's goal of positioning our salary range midpoints at the market
average, City Council approved the funds to provide for adjustments to the salary
ranges in FY 2007/2008. The Public Safety Pay Plan was adjusted 4.26% and the
Professional/Administrative and General Services Pay Plans were adjusted 2.69%.
To simplify the budget process, most cities adjust their pay ranges October 1 of each
year. To determine additional movement with the market, the Human Resources
Department will conduct its annual benchmark survey of our ten comparison cities in
October 2008. At this time, the City will know what additional adjustments will be
necessary to the pay plans in January 2009 to reach the goal of positioning our salary
range mid-points at the market average. Based on the most recent activity as well as
discussions with other cities, we anticipate the market adjustment in January 2009 not
to exceed 4.5% for the Public Safety Pay Plan and 4% for the
Professional/Administrative and General Services Pay Plans. Due to the differences
between the two pay plans, as in the past, the implementation of the 2009 market
adjustment for the Public Safety Pay Plan will be different than the
Professional/Administrative and General Services Pay Plans. All Public Safety
employees will remain on step and their salaries will be adjusted along with the pay
ranges. Professional/Administrative and General Services pay ranges will be brought to
the market average with no further adjustment to individual employee salaries.

The leadership training is designed to reach employees at all levels within the City. To
provide the most relevant and job specific training experience for our employees,
training modules will be presented to three specific groups of employees: public contact
employees (approximately 250 employees), key supervisors and future leaders
(approximately 90 employees), and management team members consisting of assistant
directors and above (approximately 40 employees).
The public contact employees will receive three hours of training in communication skills
and customer service. Key supervisors and designated future leaders will learn
management and supervision skills for six hours. They will learn such specific topics as
how to use recognition to engage their employees, how to conduct crucial conversations
and understand their leadership strengths and weaknesses. The management team
will work on advancing their leadership skills with six hours of training. They'll learn how
to build trust and manage supervisors and managers.

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 2
~~~"'~
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIF) No. 2 was created by the City of North
Richland Hills in 1999. The District was created to provide public improvements that
would benefit the City of North Richland Hills, Tarrant County College, Tarrant County
and Tarrant County Hospital District. Planned public improvements include a
conference center, a recreation center, a library and infrastructure improvements in the
Home Town NRH development. Total public improvements are estimated at $65.2
million including developer infrastructure. The District was created for twenty-eight years
to provide for the retirement of planned debt issuance for financing of the
improvements. The City of North Richland Hills and Tarrant County College agreed to
contribute 100% for the full twenty-eight years. Tarrant County and the Hospital District
agreed to participate up to a fixed dollar amount that was anticipated to accumulate
over approximately afifteen-year period based on estimated property values.
At the time the District was created the main developer, E-Systems, estimated that
Home Town NRH would be comprised of approximately 70% residential and 30%
commercial and retail development. The District's boundaries also include other
developments such as the Crossing (Kohl's) Center, Home Depot, NYTEX and the
Barnett property. The plan (based on a study done by Zimmerman/Volk) estimated that
property values would increase by over $370 million in ten years. Over the life of the
District, the values were estimated to generate approximately $82.2 million in total tax
revenues to fund the planned public improvements.
The captured appraised value in 2007 (Fiscal Year 2007/2008) was $169,467,761 for
the City of North Richland Hills and $184,519,875 for Tarrant County. The differences
are the exemptions granted by the taxing jurisdictions. The District received $2,065,381
from all taxing jurisdictions in FY 2007/2008.
In April 2003, the City of North Richland Hills issued Certificates of Obligation in the
amount of $1,450,000 for land acquisition, building program planning and architectural
design services for the Library Project. This is the first public improvement project
scheduled in the TIF No. 2 Project Plan. In April 2006, the City of North Richland Hills
issued Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $8,750,000 for construction of the
library. The contract for the construction of the library was awarded and a ground
breaking ceremony was held in October, 2006. The nearly 60,000 square foot library
opened in April, 2008.
In April, 2008, the City of North Richland Hills issued $2,000,000 in certificates of
obligation for the design of the recreation center project. A contract for recreation design
services was approved by City Council in March, 2008. The City has plans to issue debt
and begin construction of the recreation center in 2009.
Actual property tax collections as compared to the original plan are lagging. Actual
property tax revenues in FY 2007/2008 were $2.1 million compared to the original plan
estimate of $3.5 million. Taxes collected since inception total $8.3 million compared to
Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Planning Workshop -Updates

$14.8 million estimated in the original plan. Reasons that property tax collections have
come slower and in some cases are lower than originally estimated, include, but are not
limited to the following:
1. Fallout from September 11, 2001 -economic uncertainty affecting the early
stages of development.
2. Less business development compared to the original TIF plan -- more
residential development than commercial or office development in the entire
TI F district.
• Due to market conditions Arcadia has substituted residential development
in areas originally planned for commercial development.
3. More tax exempt development than anticipated in the original TIF plan -- this
includes, for example, school and church development. These amenities have
added to the quality of life within the district, but have reduced values from the
tax rolls.
4. Tax protests -- owners/developers over the years have protested to the
Tarrant Appraisal District to reduce property values, thereby reducing
revenues.

Gas Development Activity, Revenues and Uses
~"~
The City of North Richland Hills has received lease bonuses totaling $1,015,495 for
mineral rights at various city parks and facilities in relation to the Barnett Shale natural
gas field. That lease money came from executing mineral only agreements for Cross
Timbers Park, Green Valley Park, Fossil Creek Park, Linda Spurlock Park, Northfield
Park, Richfield Park, the Municipal Complex and the Watauga Pump Station. All bonus
revenue goes into the Gas Fund, funding street maintenance, economic development
projects, general operations, park development, and the golf course (when the lease
involves Iron Horse). The City has not received any royalties as of yet from these
leases. Revenue from the Gas Fund has funded a portion of the Street Improvement
Program ($200,000), the Business Improvement & Growth ($100,000) and the golf
course clubhouse renovations ($120,200).
Currently, the City is working to sign a lease for Walker Creek Park with Chesapeake
Energy. Metroplex Barnett Shale is also negotiating with the City to extend leases at
Northfield and Richfield Parks and sign new leases to JB Sandlin Park and Little Bear
Creek Park. XTO Energy has approached the City to lease property throughout the
City.
The City Council had previously decided to allow drilling at Fossil Creek Park and Little
Bear Creek Park due to their locations. Chesapeake Energy had approached the City
about drilling in Fossil Creek Park but then chose to drill across Onyx Drive South on
Birdville Independent School District property. Metroplex Barnett Shale has approached
the City to drill at Little Bear Creek Park.
Staff revised the Gas Ordinance this year. The changes reflect experience and the
changing environment of the gas business in North Texas. Changes include, but are
not limited to, new definitions, placing more emphasis on the gas inspector, changing
setback and fencing requirements, increasing the permit fee and only allowing closed
loop systems. The City has permitted three wells so far and has received $25,500.
Gas well permit fees go into the General Revenue Fund.
The City is now becoming involved in pipelines as pipelines come in to connect drill
sites to transmission lines. There have been some negotiations with gas companies on
the placement of those pipelines to assure minimum damage to city and privately
owned property within the City of North Richland Hills.

Cost Increases
. ~'"~
Costs consist of the total amount spent for goods and services. The unit price and the
quantity are two components that make up costs. As the population of the City of North
Richland Hills grows, so does the quantity of goods and services needed to deliver
municipal services, which results in an increase in costs. Moreover, recent unit price
increases have occurred that have multiplied the effect on costs.
Electricity costs have stabilized over the past year as a result of staff reducing usage.
Currently, electricity costs are averaging between $0.135 per kWh and $0.145 per kWh.
Although we lock in our base rate through the Cities Aggregation Power Project,
amounts added to bills for fuel costs and power factors increases our per kWh costs. In
an effort to reduce electricity costs, staff has purchased and installed more efficient
building systems, traffic lights and has implemented programs to reduce usage through
thermostats, motion-detecting light switches, etc. Staff anticipates that electricity usage
will increase for FY 2008/09 with the addition of the new library and projects unit costs
to increase above $0.15 per kWh.
Last year, gasoline costs were projected to increase to $2.75 per gallon of fuel.
However, during this fiscal year, gasoline prices have fluctuated significantly, increasing
the cost of fuel. The City is currently paying between $3.60 to $3.75 per gallon. As a
result, staff has taken measures to decrease fuel usage by purchasing smaller, more
fuel efficient vehicles and implementing policies that will assist in conserving fuel such
as an area based assignment of jobs and no vehicle idling. For FY 2008/09, staff is
anticipating gasoline prices to increase again, by possibly as much as $200,000
compared to the current year. Plans to decrease fuel usage from 185,000 to 140,000
gallons based on fuel efficiency initiatives will hopefully help to offset some of this
increase.
As the demand for and price of oil continues to grow, the cost of other petroleum-based
products as well are increasing. Over the last fiscal year, the price of petroleum-based
products such as tires, grease, lubricating oils, asphalt, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
piping have all increased. For example, the unit cost for tires is projected to increase
15% in FY 2008/09. Asphalt is also projected to increase 15% per ton in FY 2008/09.
Other commodities that the City buys in large quantities are increasing as well. For FY
2008/09 cement per cubic yard and copper tubing per linear foot are estimated to
increase 8% and 10%, respectively.

The costs of other services are also increasing. For example, postage rates for a First
Class stamp increased from 41 cents to 42 cents during FY 2007/08. Newsletters and
utility bills use bulk postage rates. These rates are expected to increase in 2009. As
the City grows in population so does the number of customers it serves. However, with
the City offering more services on-line and younger residents being more inclined to
using web-based services, the actual number of items posted has remained relatively
constant. Therefore, staff anticipates some increase in bulk postage service costs for
FY 2008/09 but not as much as we would see if we didn't have as many web-based
services as we do.
With the use of web-based services, the use of credit cards for payment of city services
is rapidly increasing. For each transaction the City must pay a number of processing
fees to banks for credit card services. Although these fees are generally below 1 % of
the transaction amount, staff has seen occurrences where the fees can be over 4% of
the transaction depending on the type of card and the credit card company. Any usage
increase in 2008/09 will increase the overall costs of these services. However, we still
believe the benefit of providing these on-line services outweighs the added costs.
The cost of labor, especially for seasonal and part-time personnel is another area where
costs have increased. Currently, minimum wage is $5.85 per hour. In July 2008, this
rate will increase to $6.55 per hour and will increase yet again to $7.25 per hour in July
2009. This increase will have an impact on some full-time entry level positions in the
City as well. As the minimum wage rate approaches the hourly rate of those positions it
will be necessary to increase the hourly pay ranges. Although the increases will occur
over a two year period, staff has begun analyzing the impact the increase in cost of
labor will have on all pay ranges.

~~~"~
Currently in Tarrant County, 50.20% of the Tarrant Appraisal District's (TAD) budget is
supported by schools, 23.60% by cities and 26.18% by the County and county districts.
The Tarrant Appraisal District is proposing to increase the taxing unit allocations overall
by 4.3% in their FY 2008/09 budget. The City of North Richland Hills' increase is
$17,000 or 14%. The increase is a combination of TAD's proposed budget being higher
than current year, as well as the result of legislation. Appraisal districts are funded by
the taxing entities located within each district. Each taxing entity's pro-rata share of the
appraisal district budget is determined based on the total tax levy for each entity. As
school district tax levies decrease as a result of legislation that passed a couple of
sessions ago, more of the burden to fund appraisal districts shifts to the other taxing
entities.
