Svore Municipal Building Boardroom STATE OF TEXAS § COUNTY OF DENTON § The Town Council of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas, met in a Budget Workshop/Regular Session on Monday, August 2,2010. The meeting was held within the boundaries of the Town and was open to the public. TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Connie White Mayor Bill Rose Mayor Pro Tem Glenn Strother Council Member arrived at 5:15 p.m. JD Stotts Council Member Margi Cantrell Council Member Larry Hoover Council Member STAFF AND GUEST(S) PRESENT: Stephen Seidel Acting Town Manager Lisa Hennek Town Secretary Patricia Adams Town Attorney Kathy DuBose Finance Director Scott Kniffen Police Chief Danny Thomas Fire Chief Adam Adams Parks Director Carolyn Huggins Community Development Director lVIike Pastor Information Systems Director Garin Giacomarro Town Manager's Office Intern Mayor White announced the date of August 2,2010, called the meeting to order and announced a quorum at 5:05 p.m. WORK SESSION (5:00 -6:30 P.M.) Conducted in the Public Services Conference Room 1. 2010-392-T Town Council Budget Overview; discussion of the same. Presentation is attached. Acting Town Manager Seidel advised that Council will be discussing the proposed budget as presented by Staff. Mayor White and Council members Cantrell and Stotts stated that the Budget document provided is very nice; it should not be produced in this format until the final budget has been approved Finance Director Town Council Minutes dated August 2,2010 DuBose advised that this is what the citizens will be looking at as well. Council member Rose confirmed that GFOAT will be looking at the approved Budget online. Finance Director DuBose started with the General Fund. The total revenues are under 9 million dollars and total expenditures at 12.3 million dollars. The expenditures are proposed higher as the majority of the Capital Improvements will not be complete by the end of this fiscal year; 4.1 million dollars in Capital Improvements will be performed next fiscal year. Mayor White requested that this information be footnoted on the bottom of the Expenditure page. Finance Director DuBose explained that the Property Tax Rate is broken into two different components; operations and maintenance (O&M ) and debt services. Mayor White and Council member Rose pointed out that the graphs reflecting the General Fund at 5 million and the Capital Improvements at 4.1 million are not correct. DuBose stated that the graphs did not change from the last meeting as these numbers were closer at that time and that she would correct before the presentation is posted to the website. There are also two tax rate calculations in the tax rate; the effective tax rate and the roll back tax rate. The effective tax rate is that that would produce the same amount of taxes if it was applied to the same properties that were on the roll in both years and excludes new properties. The roll back rate looks at the debt services and is added to a cap of 8% growth. O&M and can only go up on O&M from the prior year by 8%. When looking at increasing property values the effective rate is usually lower. Conversely, if property values that were on the roll last year decrease, as they did this year, the effective rate goes up. The roll back rate is $0.575, the proposed rate is $0.53, the effective rate is $0.49 and the current rate is $0.4 7. Because the existing properties that were on the roll in both years have gone done in value, the effective rate goes up $002 Again, $0.02 of the proposed rate is because property values have decreased. The presentation presented by the Park Bond Committee last August, reported more than half (64% of citizens surveyed) would be willing to pay a property tax of $75 -$375 per year to support the improvement priorities suggested in the citizen survey The total rate increase for the Park Bond was originally projected at approximately 11.5% total. As a result of the favorable bond rating the increase came down to 9.8%. Finance Director DuBose stated that the Sales Tax growth year-to-date for the current fiscal year is 1% over the prior year The last three months have been very strong, 15 -20% growth from prior year. Other cities are looking at 10% plus drops. Finance Director DuBose explained that Franchise Fees are based on the franchise assessments and current trends. As a result of the mild weather the electric and gas Franchise Fees are down from the prior year. Mayor White asked if Staff performs checks and balances on the Franchise fees because even with more homes and the high school her electric bill is not going down. Town Attorney Adams explained that auditing has to be performed in accordance to the Franchise Fee Agreements. The Town would incur the expense to conduct the audit, the audit would have to be conducted during hours specified by the vendor and the Town unfortunately would be at the utility company's mercy when attempting to receive the documents. DuBose stated that this is pretty much the trend compared to other cities, and reminded the Council that the fees are based on previous calendar year. Since the last budget workshop, Staff has processed nine more completed building permits with 18 more under review. Last year at this time building permits equaled 194, Staff estimates 200 this year and the next year is predicated on 180. Public Safety -Staff looked at departmental estimates and EMS has recently had a trend of diminished calls Municipal Court -fines and fees are based upon the current trends and Staff is hoping to have better success collecting fines considering the Scofflaw agreement recently approved by the Council. Parks and Pool are based upon current activity levels. Staff is not anticipating increasing Athletic programs and Recreation levels have been a bit low. There may be some additions once the Recreation Supervisor position is filled again Town Council Minutes dated August 2,2010 2 The Council pointed out that page 35, under the Intergovernmental Fees for Services with TCMUD No. the numbers are off on the seventh line from the bottom . General Funds and Debt Service Funds -Council member Cantrell asked when the Staff last received a COLA and/or Merit increase. Staff advised that no COLAs or Merits were given in the past two years and the last 2% COLA was given in FY 2007-08 . The cost to absorb the employee dependent insurance increase is about $20 ,000. Carolyn Huggins spoke on behalf of the Employee Action Committee and stated that the Committee understands the budget constraints and while all would appreciate a COLA, they would rather see Council apply that money to cover the increase on the dependent insurance cost. Huggins said that the employees she spoke with agreed that an extra paid day off at Thanksgiving and Christmas would be a good trade and a great morale boost. Acting Town Manager Seidel said that the insurance rates are estimated to go up 11 %, with 7% resulting from the new requirements mandated under the National Healthcare Reform. Other cities are looking at increases of 16 -22%. The Town's initial rerate came in at almost 27% and the Town's Insurance Broker and Staff were able to negotiate the rate down without substantially changing the benefits . Council member Cantrell questioned why there was an increase in the salary estimate proposed under the Planning and Zoning Department, yet the number of employees stayed the same. Finance Director DuBose stated that the Town picked up the Permit Official at 100%. The Council discussed Capital Improvements and questioned why part ($125,000) of the drainage study was paid this fiscal year and the other half ($125,000) is not included tei the FY 2010-11 but rather the FY 2011-12. Acting Town Manager Seidel explained that Staff is completing the RFQ and hopes that Council can award the bid for the study at the first meeting in September The study will occur over most of FY 2010-11 and the remaining cost of the study will not be known or paid until FY 2011-12 . Mayor White asked if a comprehensive drainage study can be conducted for $125 ,000 . Community Development Director Huggins said that the Town Engineer recommended the study be split into two parts and that Staff is still defining the scope of the RFQ. The Council talked about issuing Certificates of Obligation in the amount of approximately $770 ,000 for the street improvement project of Indian Creek to Creekmere Court to Greenhill . The Council discussed the budget timeline and how they should break down the budget to discuss in the time remaining. Council member Strothers and Stotts suggested the Council send their questions to the Acting Town Manager to answer prior to the next budget workshop Council member Stotts asked to have the floor . Stotts stated that the first time he discussed this idea with the Mayor was shortly after he was elected Stotts stated that he visited with the Mayor one time in person regarding this , and a couple times on the phone . After this, Stotts lined up a meeting with Roanoke Mayor Scooter Gierisch . Stotts explained that he and Mayor White approached Mayor Gierisch to ask whether Roanoke might be interested in providing Police Services for the Town . Stotts stated that this idea is not a reflection on the Police Department or the employees of the Town and is purely a reflection of the times that we are in and considerations as the Council looks down the road with what the Town has coming due Council member Stotts handed out a Memo from the City of Roanoke and stated that the proposal was a very rough approximation for cost of services to outsource the Police Department to Roanoke . Mayor Gierisch spoke to Stotts on Friday regarding this proposal. The current Police Department budget is 1.4 million dollars and the proposal from Roanoke is estimated for $869,358 the first year and $793,457 the second year , with Roanoke using the Town 's Police vehicles. Stotts explained the service levels proposed by Roanoke as they differ from what the Town currently offers . Stotts stated that the proposal IS for one and half officers per shift and if Trophy Club insisted on two that could be discussed, however as bound by the Open Meetings Law, Stotts said that he could not have any other discussions regarding this matter and could only go so far Stotts stated that this is just an idea and that he has no other way to move this forward and would have preferred to bring this up to Council in private in order to discuss first However in order to move things forward, Stotts mentioned the idea tonight Town Council Minutes dated August 2,2010 3 Mayor White stated that she is not convinced that this is the way to go, but respects the need to look into the possibilities. White tremendously resents that the Council could not discuss this behind closed doors and eliminate what does not make sense first, but that's the way it is. White stated that there are a lot of factors that are not considered in the proposal, but they have to start somewhere and everyone deserves to have the right to have their ideas heard and considered objectively, reasonably and logically. Council needs to be looking at these things even though it is a difficult thing but Council does not have any other choice. Council member Stotts said Roanoke is sensitive to this situation and would patrol the Town at the level desired by the Town. Roanoke has GPS in all of their vehicles and would retrofit any they might inherit from the Town. Stotts stated that he knew this would not be easy, but doing the right thing never is. Stott concluded that Roanoke would be happy to meet with the Town and discuss community involvement and service levels which would alter the rough estimate as provided with on the memo Council member Cantrell thanked Council member Stotts for taking the initiative on this idea. Council member Hoover asked how much this might save the Town. Council member Stotts responded approximately $600,000. Mayor White cautioned the group by advising the Council to be careful about providing a dollar amount as this is a very low estimate and the proposal has not been evaluated to see if it includes the service currently provided to the Town by the Police Department. Council member Stotts agreed and said that further discussions need to take place if Council is serious about outsourcing the Police Department. Acting Town Manager Seidel suggest this as an ideal question to include to the citizen survey and believes that the Town should provide what the residents want and are willing to pay for. Seidel cautioned the Council of the complexity of outsourcing and advised that once they go down the outsourcing, it is difficult to come back bring in hours due to start up costs. Fire Chief Thomas asked the Council to consider the issues in Westlake who outsource to Keller. While true that the Council may save money, the service level would greatly diminish Acting Town Manager Seidel stated that there are consultants who do this type of evaluation and it would be objective from both Trophy Club and Roanoke's perspective. There are several factors to consider in the service level currently being provided like removing snakes for resident's yards. Council member Stotts stated that he is aware of this and that this idea is not new and the Town would not be reinventing the wheel. Stotts said that this is not something that can be implemented in a couple of months and that he and Roanoke agreed the soonest would be January or February. Stotts does not know if the Council has the luxury of waiting for the results of a citizen survey. Mayor Pro Tem Rose stated that Trophy Club's low crime rate is partly due to the visibility of the Police Force. Rose takes credit for pushing to having two Police Officers on duty at all time and Rose would not be able to go below this number. Rose asked where the cost savings would be gained as the proposal would have to be increase by .5 Officer and an Animal Control Officer. Rose asked if a straight contract for services might be a better option. Mayor White announced that the meeting was posted to adjourn at 6:30 p.m. rather than 6:45 p.m. as she had thought. The Council recessed at 6:35 p.m. to take the Council picture. REGULAR SESSION (7:00 P.M.)
