C.1 SUBMISSION OF THE JULY 2022 APPRAISAL ROLL TO THE GOVERNING
BODY
City Manager Mark Hindman provided an overview of the budget. The recent citizen
survey confirms that North Richland Hills is a great community. The proposed budget
presents challenges and opportunities. The city is experiencing a staffing shortage due to
employees leaving for other jobs, fewer applicants, and increased competition. The city's
contribution to TEXRail begins January 2023 with $2,000,000 and a 5% increase
annually. The citizen survey identified areas for improvement, and the top three of four
focused on streets. The 2020 Street Bond program will address 27 streets, but the city
needs to increase the preventative maintenance budget. The community is experiencing
escalated code complaints, obsolete commercial on Davis Boulevard and Boulevard 26,
an increase in service demand and an aging housing stock and population. The city will
see an increase in sales tax, a rise in property values by 10.6%, and the closure of Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2 ("TIF No.2"). Staff proposes to utilize property tax
from former TIF No. 2 for the city's contribution to TEXRail. Future property value from
the Transit Oriented Districts (TOD) will adequately support costs for TEXRail. The city's
approach to the staffing shortage includes competitive salary adjustments, focus on entry
level pay ranges and non-salary-based incentives. The proposed budget includes $5
million for the preventive street maintenance program, of which $1.3 million will come
from the former TIF No. 2 property tax, and the addition of three positions — engineering
associate, capital improvement project manager, and street/traffic supervisor. The
proposed budget includes the following positions to address our growth, aging
community, and basic services.
• Three firefighters (grant funded)
• Four police officers (grant funded)
• Mental health person — PD (grant funded)
• Code enforcement officer
• Planning technician
• Commercial revitalization funding
• Communications coordinator
• Cybersecurity analyst
• HVAC technician
• Equipment technician — fire equipment
The city's current tax rate is $.572184 per $100 of assessed value. The proposed Fiscal
Year 2022-2023 preliminary tax rate is $.547972 per $100 of assessed value. The
proposed preliminary tax rate of$.547972 was used to prepare the proposed Fiscal Year
2022-2023 General Fund budget. The proposed budget was developed with the following
in mind —addressing the top complaint from the survey (streets), enhancing public safety,
enhancing communications with citizens, revitalizing our properties, retaining staff and
continuing our services, and reducing the tax rate. The presentations provided today
include the revised 2021-2022 and proposed 2022-2023 Operating and Capital Project
Budgets.

City Council Budget Work Session
Page 3 of 8
Director of Finance Mark Mills reviewed the July 2022 Appraisal Roll. The data is provided
by the Tarrant Appraisal District ("TAD") and the Tarrant County Tax Office. The Truth-in-
Taxation calculation cannot be certified until the Certified Roll and Certified Collection
Rate information is presented to the City Council. He provided a copy of the Certified Roll
to the City Council. The Certified Appraisal Roll for July 2022 specifies $9,469,708,861
for appraised value, $7,576,210,392 for estimated net taxable value, and $176,943,505
for taxable new construction. According to the Certified Appraisal Roll, the market for a
North Richland Hills average single-family residence is $316,497. The market is the value
established by TAD. The appraised value for the same single-family residence is
$294,713. The appraised is the value less appraisal caps. The taxable value for the same
single-family residence is $233,679. The taxable value is the appraised value less
exemptions (homestead) and tax ceilings (i.e., senior freeze). He reviewed the certified
collection rates for the years 2019 — 2021 . The city anticipates a 100% collection rate for
2022. The Certified Roll includes five categories—residential, commercial, industrial,
mineral, and agriculture. Mr. Mills provided a historical overview of the net taxable value
for Fiscal Years 2014—2023. He reviewed the city's single-family market values for Fiscal
Year 2023 (table).

Mr. Mills stated that the city has a 20% homestead exemption and $36,000 senior
exemption and disabled person exemption. Seniors (over 65) and disabled persons will
not pay more property taxes unless (i) they purchased a new home or (ii) they modified
(addition) their existing home. Currently, the city has 6,040 (27.3%) residential accounts
with senior tax ceilings and 310 (1.4%) residential accounts with disabled person tax
ceilings.
Mr. Mills provided an overview and breakdown of the total combined tax rate. The current
fiscal year tax rate is $2.493783. The tax rate encompasses the Birdville Independent
July 29, 2022
City Council Budget Work Session
Page 4 of 8
School District at $1.338000 (53.7%), Tarrant County and Associated Districts at
$0.583599 (23.4%), and North Richland Hills at $0.572184 (22.9%).
The city's property tax rate is the combination of Maintenance and Operations (M&O)
from the General Fund and Interest and Sinking (I&S) from Debt Service. The property
tax cap limits how much properties' taxable value can grow. The property tax cap does
not affect the Debt Service rate. The city's current adopted tax rate is$0. 572184, of which
the M&O is $0.348864 and the I&S is $0.223320.
In preparation for the Proposed 2022-2023 Operating and Capital Budgets and Truth-in-
Taxation calculations, staff determines the No-New Revenue Rate ("NNRR") and Voter-
Approval Rate ("VAR"). The NNRR produces the same amount of taxes if applied to the
same properties taxed in both years. The VAR requires an election if the City Council
adopts a rate that exceeds the Voter-Approval Rate. The VAR is determined by calculating
the No-New Revenue Rate and adding 3.5%, any unused increment, and the debt rate
(I&S). State law allows an entity to utilize the unused increment in the Truth-in-Taxation
calculation. The unused increment rate is the three-year rolling sum of the difference
between the adopted tax rate and the Voter-Approval Rate. The city's unused increment
rate is $0.009201. The Fiscal Year 2023 No-New Revenue Rate is $0.519595 per $100
of assessed value and the Voter-Approval Rate is $0.547972 per$100 of assessed value.
The proposed Fiscal Year 2023 preliminary tax rate is $0.547972, of which the M&O is
$0.338543, the unused increment is $0.009201, and the I&S is $0.200228. The proposed
preliminary tax rate of $0. 547972 was used to prepare the proposed Fiscal Year 2023
General Fund budget.
C.2 PRESENTATION OF THE BUDGET AND DISCUSSION OF REVISED 2021-2022
OPERATING BUDGET AND PROPOSED 2022-2023 OPERATING BUDGET.
Mr. Mills provided an overview of the Debt Service Fund and reviewed the 2020 Street
Bond Program. The amount issued to date is $31,605,000 and the remaining
authorized/unissued bond is $18,270,000. He reviewed the debt service capacity and
other tax supported debt payments. The debt issuance for August 2022 includes
$12,405,000 for streets identified in the 2020 Street Bond program; $2,510,000 for the
Big Fossil Creek interceptor rehabilitation; $910,000 for the 12" and 10" sanitary sewer
bypass project; and $360,000 for an ambulance replacement. The debt issuance for
November 22 includes $5,000,000 for supplemental street maintenance; $985,000 for fire
engine replacement; $390,000 for two (2) dump truck replacements; $3,075,000 for
Watauga Road 24" transmission main; and $4,855,000 cellular meter reading.
Director of Human Resources Patrick Hillis provided an overview of the current
employment environment, recruitment and retention challenges, turnover rate history,
and current vacancies. The recruitment and retention challenges have an impact on
departments, such as lower priority work items being delayed or set aside, increased
workload for remaining staff, steeper learning curves for new hires, investment and
training of new employees who resign, and competitive pay. The survey results of
July 29, 2022
City Council Budget Work Session
Page 5 of 8
benchmark cities indicate an average salary increase of 4% with a range movement of
2%. The proposed recommendation for the general service pay plans include a salary
adjustment to move pay range minimums 10% and pay range maximums 4%, effective
October 1, 2022. The public safety (police and fire) pay plans include a 4% range
adjustment on October 1, 2022 and additional salary adjustments on April 1, 2023 to
move employees through the pay plan. The city has experienced a good claims year and
anticipates coming in under budget for the Health Insurance Fund, and savings will be
moved to the fund balance. He informed the City Council there are no health plan design
changes.
City Council and staff discussed methods to retain and reward employees.
Director of Budget and Research Trudy Lewis provided an overview of the revised 2021-
2022 General Fund revenues ($55,021,405) and expenditures ($53,424,927) and
proposed 2022-2023 General Fund revenues ($57,947,278) and expenditures
($55,425,048). The revenue highlights for 2022-2023 include an increase of $5.7 million
or 10.6% from the previous year's adopted budget. $4.4 million in property tax is due to
the addition of new construction, the closure of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones, and
appreciation of existing value. The sales tax is forecasted to increase by 10% or
$1,115,786 from previous year's adopted budget and development revenues are
forecasted to increase by $267,493 due to upcoming projects. The expenditure highlights
for 2022-2023 include an increase of almost $2 million or 3.5% from the previous year's
adopted budget. Most notable is the first year for the TEXRail payment of $2 million as
well as departmental inflationary cost increases. Considering the workload of staff in key
departments such as Public Works, the proposed budget also considers allowing for split
funding to cover full-time positions. This created salary savings for the General Fund as
expenses are split between Utility and Drainage Fund for work produced in support of
those operations. The fund reflects a positive ending balance of $2.5 million prior to
consideration of the proposed additions to the base budget. The proposed additions to
the base budget for consideration by City Council includes:
$1,916,056 for the FY 2022/2023 Proposed Market/Merit Adjustment
$96,348 (1) full-time Communications Coordinator
$88,828 (1) full-time Street Supervisor

City Manager Mark Hindman gave an overview of the city's budget process. In
accordance with the city charter, the city manager is responsible for preparing and
submitting a proposed budget to the City Council at least 45 days prior to the beginning

begins to level off. Fine revenues are projected to decrease by $700,000 this year and
staff anticipates a decrease in building revenue compared to the previous year. The city
will see an increase in interest income, and this will be the final year of American Rescue
Plan Act ("ARPA") funding. There is a trend in public safety among the benchmark cities

Rate information is presented to the City Council. The information was included in the
Executive Summary provided to the City Council for the Budget Work Session. The
Certified Appraisal Roll for July 2023 specifies $10,744,722,917 for appraised value,
$8,623,319,355 for estimated net taxable value, and $141,009,789 for taxable new
construction. According to the Certified Appraisal Roll, the market for a North Richland
Hills average single-family residence is $383,824. The market is the value established by
TAD. The appraised value for the same single-family residence is $337,091. The
appraised is the value less appraisal caps. The taxable value for the same single-family

School District at $1.2798 (53.2%), Tarrant County and Associated Districts at $0.578599
(24.0%), and North Richland Hills at $0.547972 (22.8%).
The city's property tax rate is the combination of Maintenance and Operations (M&O)
from the General Fund and Interest and Sinking (I&S) from Debt Service. The property
tax cap limits how much properties' taxable value can grow. The property tax cap does
not affect the Debt Service rate. The city's current adopted tax rate is $0.547972, of which
the M&O is $0.347744 and the I&S is $0.200228.
In preparation for the Proposed 2023-2024 Operating and Capital Budgets and Truth-in-
Taxation calculations, staff determines the No-New Revenue Rate ("NNRR") and Voter-
Approval Rate ("VAR"). The NNRR produces the same amount of taxes if applied to the
same properties taxed in both years. The VAR requires an election if the City Council
adopts a rate that exceeds the Voter-Approval Rate. The VAR is determined by calculating
the No-New Revenue Rate and adding 3.5%, any unused increment, and the debt rate
(I&S). The Fiscal Year 2024 No-New Revenue Rate is $0.489389 per $100 of assessed
value and the Voter-Approval Rate is $0.498348 per $100 of assessed value. The
proposed Fiscal Year 2024 preliminary tax rate is $0.498155, of which the M&O is
$0.322349 and the I&S is $0.175806.
The proposed preliminary tax rate of$0.498155 was used to prepare the proposed Fiscal
Year 2024 General Fund budget. He reviewed the following table showing the change
from Fiscal Year 2023 to preliminary Fiscal Year 2024.

tax rates are too high all across the board. The projected amount

My tax rate questions Field not completed.
are:
My tax rate comments Tax rates in North Richland Hills are increasing at a rate which is
are: resulting in many citizens being taxed out of their homes. I have
lived in NRH for 28 years, and for the first time I do not think I
can continue to own my home due to the continued property tax
increases. Our taxes are creeping up and in line with more
expensive communities, including Keller, Southlake, Colleyville
and Grapevine. NRH is no longer affordable for many families.
Please look at other options and budget cuts before passing
along needless spending by the city to the citizens.
Consideration could be given to cutting needless positions within
city offices. Code Compliance does not respond, nor to they
address citizen input or requests. Future elections will hinge on
this agenda.

The most important document on the wesite is the notice for the Property Tax hearing
that shows how much they are raising (property taxes by not adopting the no new taxes
rate, (Keller, Southlaike, Truant County and now even FWSD are adopting rates at and
below the no new taxes rate.They are actually listening to the people they represent.
People are strugigiling with inflation and don't have a oottornless piiggybank to rob to
pay for those increases. Shame that is how NIRIH laity Council seems to think of the
people it represents.

Chid you (know that nearly half of every property tax dollar the City of North Richland Hills receives
helps fund l our 4-hour police, fire and emergency medical services? The Police and Fire
Departments are the largest city operations in terms of both manpower and budget. Public safety
has always been a top priority for the commuinity, in fact, for many years, Public safety and street
maintenance have been identified by residents' input from the N H Citizen Survey as being of high
importance to the community, Property taxes also Ihelp fund city streets, traffic control, code
enforcement, (library and other services,
The City Council is proposing i a nearly S cunt iredbuction in the property tax rate this year, and has
reduced the property tax rate several times in recent years to help offset rising property values. The
redluction proposed this year mould louver the rate to 49.8155 cents per 1 0 property value. The
property tax rate has been reduced 111 cents in,the last 6 years as the rate was 61-ceints prior to 2017.
The louver tax rate offsets incireases to property values aind beeps the tax bill the same for 7 %of
residential property owners (everyone who has a homestead exemption), despite rising home values..
Visit to see hove the proposed tax bill for your property compares to last
yea r.

Angel Cox have you ever tried to cross the road? And even though they put
a little flashy thing in for the trail, back and flash all freaking day and
nobody bothers to stop for it. Try using the trails and try crossing rofe sinow.
And these would be lights that onily turn to red. Whein somebody needs to
cross, It'd be a lot safer, especially since there's a school and Texas doesn't
feel the need to bus students.

Donna Youngs I was a teacher in IBilydville for 30 years, Students were
bussed to whatever school they needed to go. There are 5 lights between
Bursey and Mid Cities. II do use the trails. Where is the problem there? Not
wanting to argiue,juist don't see the need for more Iligihts.

Angel Cox well the point would be that the stoplights would be for the trails
only. Going up and down, roof snow. I will stop for people waiting to cross,
but they just stand there andl stand there and stand there because the other
three lanes of traffic either arein't paying attention or don't giive a crap that
there's a crosswalk there.We live on the other side of Rufe now, and rarely
let our kids walk to school even with a, crossing giuiardl. That poor guy has to
walk out in front of traffic to try to get them to stop. IIt would make sense to
put in a light that turns to a stoplight when people need to push the button
and need to cross. It. Wouldn't be used all the time, but it would increase
safety.

Donna Youngs,
Angel Cox there's a flashing light at the crossing by North Richland Middle
School. That flashing light is as effective as a dlirty sock on the floor getting
noticed, It goes 24/7, So people ignore it, And driving in other areas. Many
other roads were there are crossings for these trails that are supposed to, be
so great for people to uise, but there's no way to stop traffic to get across a
four or six lane highway. Seems like a waste of money on the trail system.

Angel Cox Rufe Snow is 4 6 Manes. There's the crosswalk by the middle
school and further down toward ILT. I know many parents who won't let
their kids wailk due to safety concerns--even if there's someone who's
willing to wailk out in traffic Ihopiing they'll stop to let kids cross. Not only are
the kids in danger, but so is, he. That could easily be solved by installing a
STOP light. We ride the trails—people don't stop to let you cross. lVe seen
people further north on Rufe Snow where it's 6 lanes they have to try to
cross on the trail. Makes a waste of resources to create trails when, it"s not
safe to use them.

Date: Tuesday,August 29,2023 12:44:51 PM
Good Afternoon AII-
I wanted to inquire about the meeting notes/video for the Budget meeting on 8/4/2023. 1 see
that these have not been posted as the other meetings have, and given that it discusses
raising our taxes, residents have the right to this information per Section 551.002. So I am
requesting those minutes and recording, please.
Sec. 551 . 022 . MINUTES AND RECORDINGS OF OPEN MEETING: PUBLIC
RECORD. The minutes and recordings of an open meeting are
public records and shall be available for public inspection and
copying on request to the governmental body' s chief
administrative officer or the officer ' s designee .

Amended by:
Acts 2013, 83rd Leg. , R. S . , Ch. 87 (S .B. 471) , Sec. 4,
eff. May 18, 2013 .
Lastly, I would like to express my rejection for the current proposed tax rate and support an
affordable for everyone NO-NEW_REVENUE rate instead so that small, middle class
average people like my family can continue to afford to live in a place like North Richland
Hills.
Warm Regards,

Subject: Please adopt a No New Revenue Rate for 2024
Mayor Trevino,
Please revise the proposed tax rate down to the No New Revenue Rate (NNRR) or something very
close to that. The proposed rate is pretty much as high as you can go without voter approval. As I'm
sure you know, other Tarrant Co. taxing authorities are adopting NNRR's. The city, at this point, is an
outlier. Please work with the other council members to bring the rate down further.
Regards,
Joe Procter

Subject: Tarrant Appraisal District
Good morning;
Scott Walsh here, thought I'd share with you this morning that other local city mayor's are standing
together in opposition against the deceit that is taking place in Tarrant County and asking for
change. Please seethe attached picture.
Also please consider reading the rest of this as it pertains to new tax rate propositions for the city of
North Richland hills.
As new tax rate propositions approach the city of North Richland hills, please consider the impact of
how increased rates already burden homeowners.
Over the last 5 years our city has seen significant growth in population and in new construction for
single & multifamily dwellings (MFD's).This new construction is bringing many new residents to
NRH as well as more taxable dollars to our local economy. However, the financial burden of
increased tax rates always impacts the homeowners first. Please keep in mind that it's the
homeowner who has a vested financial responsibility and burden in NRH.
As you know MFD's are for profit businesses and most in NRH have a waiting list as they are at full
capacity.This gives us many new residents, but not all are here to stay.Thier impact as a whole as it
relates to taxes and decisions however can have a permanent lasting effect.The investors and
owners of MFD's will never feel the financial impact of increased taxes and the residents who live
there are under no obligation to stay beyond the contract period. Additionally, people who choose
to live in an MFD understand their financial responsibility when they sign thier 1yr contract as
opposed to homeowners who have made a 30yr decision. If a homeowner decides move it is also a
greater financial cost as they are forced to pay realtor fees.
There is a clear difference between homeowners and residents and it should be in the interest of
our City Council to protect the vested homeowner when considering taxes and the future impact it
has.There are many homeowners who are still paying school taxes yet they no longer have children
in school. While homeowners may have the benefit of a homestead exemption, it doesn't count for
much of an exemption when the property value doubles and your exemption doesn't. None of this
does the homeowner have any control of.
Double the property value may sound like a good thing when it's time to sell, but a new mortgage
with higher interest rates only increases your debt to income ratio on a 30-year mortgage &the
first 5 years of payments go straight to interest with very minimal going to principal unless you have
a substantial down payment. I think this is why we are seeing quite a bit of inventory and less and
less people are buying homes.
If taxes are not proportionately shared by homeowners and residents the impact will force an
already greater burden upon the homeowner. At the boiling point of all this is when we will start to
see more & more foreclosures as well as other economic hardships.
Additionally, hardships have already been on the rise as we have seen the evidence being an increase
in crime over the last 5 years.Just this week NRH has been at the nucleus for such events as road
rage violence, attempted murder and civil unrest. All this compounds on the homeowner who now
has the added concern of future safety.
Thank you for your time in reading my concerns and please weigh the importance of how our tax
dollars will be collected & where they will be spent.
Sincerely,
Scott Walsh
