SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action regarding funding for Human Service

1. BACKGROUND/HISTORY

SUBJECT: Deliberation and possible action regarding the requests for the use of

FY16-17 HOT Funds by the Buda Lions Club for the Buda Lions Club

Country Fair and Wiener Dog Races, the Travis County Sheriff’s Citizen’s

Academy Alumni Association for the Capital of Texas Police Motorcycle

Chute Out, the Buda Area Chamber of Commerce for Fajita Fiesta, and

the Budafest Committee for Budafest

1. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The City of Buda annually accepts applications from organizations whose

events/expenditures fit into one or more of the hotel occupancy tax expenditure categories. All requests for funds are submitted in writing with an official application distributed by the City of Buda Tourism Department. In order for an event/expenditure to qualify to receive funds they must pass the two part test: 1) every hotel occupancy tax revenue expenditure must directly enhance and promote tourism and the hotel industry, “put heads in beds” and 2) each hotel occupancy tax revenue expenditure must fit into one of nine categories:

1. Funding the establishment, improvement or maintenance of a convention center or visitor information center

2. Paying the administrative costs for facilitating convention registration 3. Paying for advertising; solicitations and promotions that attract tourists and

convention delegates to the city or its vicinity 4. Expenditures that promote the arts and will directly promote the hotel industry 5. Funding of historical restoration or preservation programs 6. Certain sporting event related expenses 7. Certain sporting related structures (depends on population size) 8. Certain tourist shuttles 9. Signage directing tourists to attractions frequently visited by hotel guests

All applications requesting funds are submitted to the Tourism Department prior to

the fiscal year in which the funds are being requested. The funds from FY16-17 HOT funds are being requested by the Buda Lions Club for the Buda Lions Club Country Fair and Wiener Dog Races, the Travis County Sheriff’s Citizen’s Academy Alumni Association for the Capital of Texas Police Motorcycle Chute Out, the Buda Area Chamber of Commerce for Fajita Fiesta, and the Budafest Committee for Budafest.

Below are history and stats from the applicants’ previous events and applications, as well as information regarding the event for the year in which they are requesting funds.

7

Wiener Dog Races The Buda Lions Club will host the Buda Lions Country Fair and Wiener Dog Races April 29-30, 2017. Activities include: arts & craft vendors, best dressed dog contest, washer tournament, bake-off, IBCA sanctioned cook-off and wiener dog races. The applicants believe that of all the people that will be in attendance, 12% will be locals and 88% will be out-of-town guests. They also believe that 5% of the out-of-town guests will stay in hotels.

The Buda Lions Club reported that 20,000 people attended their event in 2016. Of their attendance they believe 12% are local and 88% are from out-of-town. Their application estimates that at least 10% of the hotel rooms booked in Buda that weekend are for their event. For 2016 we were able to confirm 45 room nights in Buda hotels for this event. They believe that other attendees stay in other area hotels outside Buda, because the other rooms in Buda hotels are already booked for other reasons. Also, this year two of Buda’s hotels did not accept pets for this weekend. Only Comfort Suite accepts pets year-round. In years past, all the Buda hotels have made exceptions for the weekend of the Wiener Dog Races and have accepted pets in their hotels. However, this year both Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn did not accept pets. The main reason for this decision is that it often confused customers into believing the hotel was pet friendly year-round and people would either try to bring their pets back during another visit or other guests staying in the hotel during Wiener Dog Races would believe the hotel was pet friendly and not want to make future reservations. The Tourism Department spoke with the hotels about accepting pets for next year. Both hotels said that they would most likely not except pets in the future and we had one other hotel express that they may not take pets next year either.

The Buda Lions Club is requesting $15,000 from the FY16-17HOT funds to advertise the event.

Capital of Texas Police Motorcycle Chute Out The Travis County Sheriff’s Citizen’s Academy Alumni Association will host the Capital of Texas Police Motorcycle Chute Out in the Spring of 2017. This will be the fourth year that the Motorcycle Chute Out is held in Buda, but this is only the second year that the event is requesting funds. The event is a police motorcycle competition for charity that is promoted throughout the United States to police agencies with competing motors. The event does allow for spectators to come and watch the competition. Travis County Sheriff’s Citizen’s Academy Alumni Association reported that for their 2016 event they had 120 competitors from 44 including state agencies, out-of-state agencies and even a team from Canada. In addition, they had 280 other out-of-town

8

guests at the event as vendors, volunteers and competitor’s family members. They also report that there was about 4,000 spectators in attendance the day of the final competition. This event had 75 rooms booked; 55 of those were due to room blocks. For 2016, we were able to confirm 300 room nights in Buda hotels as a result of this event.

Since the first year of this event, the City of Buda has sponsored a dinner for the event for a total of $3,500 funded by HOT tax. The amount requested does not include the sponsorship. The Travis County Sheriff’s Citizen’s Adademy Alumni Association is requesting $6,000 to promote to agencies with competing motor cops and to make temporary improvements for a sporting event.

Fajita Fiesta The Buda Area Chamber of Commerce will host the Fajita Fiesta September 29-30, 2017. Activities include: a fajita cook-off, Mariachi bands, other live music, historical reenactments, craft and food vendors and more. The organizers of this event expect 3,500 local and 4,000 out-of-town attendees. They also believe that this event will bring in 50+ room nights. Please note that when this item is reviewed, the 2016 Fajita Fiesta will not have taken place. We do not have any historical data for the 2016 event. In 2015, the Buda Area Chamber of Commerce estimates that 7,000 people were in attendance. We were able to confirm 42 room nights in Buda hotels as a result of this event. The Buda Area Chamber of Commerce is requesting $6,000 from the FY16-17 HOT funds to advertise the event.

The Budafest committee will host Budafest December 3-4, 2016. Activities include: a fajita cook-off, Mariachi bands, other live music, historical reenactments, craft and food vendors and more. The organizers did not indicate in their application how many attendees they expected, nor listed how many room nights this event might bring.

There is not historic information from 2015, because Budafest did not apply for a grant, but this event did apply and receive funds in years past. The last year that funds were requested (FY14-15), the group reported that 3,000 locals and 3,000 out-of-town guests attended Budafest. We were able to confirm 4 room nights. Also, in FY14-15, the group was not reimbursed, because a W-9 was not submitted in order to receive payment. The Budafest committee is requesting $3,500 from the FY16-17 HOT funds to advertise the event.

2. FINDINGS/CURRENT ACTIVITY Hotel Occupancy Tax Reimbursement Grant applications were sent out to applicants on May 11 and were due June 3. All applicants submitted their applications by the due date. The Tourism Department reviewed applications for completeness before sending them to the HOT grant committee for review.

The HOT grant committee meeting was held June 23. The committee consisted of local businesses large and small from the I-35 corridor and downtown, as well as, Buda hoteliers. Committee members were: Allie Saunders, Cabela’s Ann Miller, Buda Economic Development Brooklyn Robertson, Cleveland’s Chad Miller, Pinballz Kingdom Harry Patel, Americas Best Value Inn

All applicants were invited to attend the meeting in order to answer any committee questions and to also make any additional statements regarding their application. All but one applicant attend the

For the FY15/16, the Buda City Council advised staff to put a committee together to review the HOT grant applications and make funding recommendations based on each organizations application and past history.

The committee members included: Mark Felch, Managing Partner for Chili’s Raj Patel, Owner of Holiday Inn and Suites Margaret Goebler, Owner of Little Bluebird Rachel Starnes, Event Specialist for Cabela’s Chance Sparks, Planning Director for City of Buda Sidonna Foust, Finance Manager for City of Buda

10

After reviewing each application and hearing from each applicant, the HOT grant committee deliberated over each application and finally decided to give an average of $150 per room night for every 10 room nights. For example, both Wiener Dog Races and Fajita Fiesta reported getting 40+ rooms, 40 multiplied by $150 equals a total of $6,000 (40X$150=$6,000). They also decided to recommend a minimum grant funding at $1,000 for this year. The committee also recommends the following for the FY16-17 grants:

All events must set room blocks with Buda hotels or show proof that they tried to set room blocks for their event.

That the 100 mile radius stated within the HOT application rules and guideline be strictly adhered to.

That promotional items that are sold and used as a revenue source no longer be funded by this grant, i.e. t-shirts, hats, koozies, etc.

3. FINANCIAL IMPACT Amount Requested by Applicants Wiener Dog Races: $15,000

Capital of Texas Police Motorcycle Chute Out: $6,000 Fajita Fiesta: $6,000 Budafest: $3,500

Total in Grant Funding: $21,000

4. ACTION OPTIONS/RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends funding the events as recommended by the HOT Grant Committee. Also, we would like to know if City Council would like to base future Hotel Occupancy Tax funding on hotel room night data.

Water Resource Division Buda Wastewater Treatment Plant System

Operating Plan for Fiscal Year Ending 8/31/17 BACKGROUND

The following Work Plan and Budget for the Buda Wastewater Treatment Plant is based on the treatment of an average sewage flow of 474.5 mill ion gallons per year or 1.30 million gallons per day (MGD). The plant was expanded during Fiscal Year 2012 with current treatment capacity of 1.5 MGD.

Three licensed wastewater treatment professionals operate and maintain the plant. In addition,

some contract labor and support from other GBRA Divisions is included in the form of electrical, preventive maintenance, supervision, engineering, purchasing, laboratory, and administrative functions. GBRA’s budget forecast includes all payroll and employee benefit expenses. The Chief Operator of GBRA’s Shadow Creek System supervises the Buda Wastewater Treatment Plant. Management of the plant is performed by personnel located in GBRA’s Seguin office.

REVENUE SOURCES AND TRENDS

After signing a contract with the City of Buda in September 2001 GBRA assumed operation of the City’s wastewater plant on October 1, 2001. The contract between the City of Buda and GBRA provides that GBRA will bill the City the actual cost of operating and maintaining the plant. As a result, revenue is matched to expenses and GBRA does not over-recover nor under-recover the cost of operating the plant.

The proposed FY 2017 budget is based upon a 12-month fiscal year ending August 31, 2017. Since the City funded the 2007 and 2012 expansion projects, no debt service is included in this budget.

The budget is based on total estimated annual wastewater to be treated of 474,500,000 gallons compared to a FY 2016 budgeted flow of 392,400,000 gallons. This approximately 21% increase in flows, due to the growth within the City, is projected to result in an above average increase in operating costs. As a result the budgeted FY 2017 revenue for the Buda Division is $676,429, which is $68,051 or 11.2% more than last year’s budget. CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND OPERATING EXPENDITURES

The combined capital additions and operating expenditure budget for FY 2017 amounts to $676,429 which is $68,051 or 11.2% more than FY 2016. Major expenses include power and utility costs of $115,000, biosolids disposal costs of $77,000, and chemical costs of $93,200. Also, lab supplies and expenses are estimated at $36,000.

The budget assumes that the City of Buda will be completely responsible for insurance and risk management. Additionally, the budget includes the standard administration and general cost percentage charged to all operating divisions of GBRA. FUND BALANCE

Funds for the above listed capital additions and maintenance projects as well as all of the other operating expenditures summarized in the following pages will be provided from revenues from the City of Buda. Since this system represents a contract operation in which GBRA does not over-recover nor under-recover its costs, the net change in fund balance for FY 2017 is $60.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDINGCOMPENSATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Background/History

The City of Buda is committed to analyzing the market to collect up-to-date data before proposing increases and pay adjustments to remain competitive in the market. The Human Resources Department has conducted an internal salary survey each year from FY 2012-2013 to FY 2014-2015. Also, the city has implemented an across the board salary increase between 3% - 4% for the past 3 years. Council approved for the City of Buda to undergo an extensive compensation and classification study to expand the target markets and to analyze internal and external equity of each position. The City hired a consulting firm, Evergreen Solutions, LLC to conduct the study and to provide results and recommendations for FY 2016-2017. The city has made it a goal to adjust salaries to at least the minimum average range for each position compared to the targeted cities. Evergreen Solutions has prepared a revised compensation philosophy to better align city staff to the "market/mid-point" versus the minimum average range.

2. Findings/Current Activity

Evergreen Solutions, LLC conducted a salary survey and collected salary range data from *21 peers for 36 benchmark classifications.

Current Conditions An open-range pay plan for employees providing a clear structure (with ranges)

within which employees could expect to progress salaries.

Employees’ salaries were concentrated (87.9 %) below the midpoints of the pay

ranges in the open-range plan.

22


A step configured plan for police employees (Police Officer, Detective, and Sergeant)

providing defined salary increases (3.1%).

All employees in classifications in the Police step plan had salaries below the

midpoints of the pay ranges.

3. Financial ImpactCompensation and Classification Study Recommendations and implementations cost are outlined in the attached presentation. The Compensation study recommendations and implementation cost are based on current salaries receiving a 2% increase.

Implementation Options

A calculation is performed so that each employee's salary is adjusted to theminimum of his/her classification's proposed pay grade. If his/her salary isalready within the proposed pay range, no adjustment is made.

(Applies to all employees)


Bring Employees toNew Minimums

A calculation is performed to divide each proposed range into 25 sections,with each representing one year of time an employee has been with theorganization. Each employee's salary is then adjusted within the range basedon this time; e.g., an employee with 0 years of tenure would have his/hersalary placed at the minimum, an employee with 13 years would have his/hersalary placed slightly above the midpoint, and an employee with 25 yearswould have his/her salary placed at the maximum. If the employee's salary isalready above the calculated "parity" salary, no adjustment is made. Thenemployee salary adjustments are capped at a 5 percent increase.

*This option includes the Bring to Minimum cost.

Implementation Options



A calculation is performed to determine the relative position of an employee'ssalary in the current pay range. The employee's recommended salarycalculation is based on the employee’s new salary being placed at the samerelative position in the proposed range. For example, if an employee’s salaryis 40% into the current pay range, the proposed salary is placed at 40% intothe recommended pay range. This places an employee’s salary in the newrange based on the relative position in the current range, yet does not placeany salary beyond new midpoints unless the salary is already above thatpoint, and no employee salary is reduced.

*This option includes the Bring to Minimum Cost.

The current salaries of Police Officer, Detective, and Sergeant are placed atthe next step without lowering the salaries.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION & POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING FY 2016-2017 FEE SCHEDULE

RECOMMENDATIONS.

1. BACKGROUND/HISTORY Each year as part of the budget, staff reviews the City’s fee schedule to verify the fees are current and adequately recovering the cost to provide services, particularly in regard to development permits.

2. FINDINGS/CURRENT ACTIVITY Animal Control The Police Department has recommended two changes:

• A change in the animal registration fee, converting it from a one-time fee to an annual fee. This change is designed to improve registration compliance and to recognize changes in vaccination programs/tracking.

• A change to impoundment fees to simply reflect the fees incurred by the City by the contracted shelter.

Utilities There are three changes relevant to utilities requested:

• Increase of the return check fee from $25 to $35 to reflect the same fee under administrative fees, recovering costs incurred by the City from its financial institution.

• Establishment of an 8” compound meter cost based on its increased use, set at $9,000.

• Establishment of a $110 fee to recover the costs of the “end points” for the meter. End points are part of the communications system for the automated metering system. The City has been inadvertently absorbing these costs.

Building & Development This year, staff performed a detailed review of the development-related fees based on staff cost to provide service, cost of consulting services for the city, and review of comparable cities including:

• Pflugerville • Round Rock

36

• Hutto • Leander • Georgetown • San Marcos • Kyle

The first, and perhaps most important, change in development fees is an escrow authorization to allow the City of Buda to require escrow of funds to cover any 3rd party review expenses beyond normal & customary. This is because a development fee schedule cannot anticipate every complication from a project and because the City cannot create an overcharging situation. The provision for escrowing is frequently used in other cities with small staffs that rely on 3rd party consultants for primary review or for referral as needed. This applies to any permits involving 3rd party review.

• Clarification that publication fees are also assessed for annexations, zoning, development agreements and in the rare events in which subdivisions trigger public hearings & publication

• Increase in the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy fee to $150 in order to recover the cost of the additional inspection, which is currently not accounted for

• Clarification that the fee for a new development agreement also applies to amendments

• Establishment of a fee for easement review & acceptance at $300 + the recording fee. Some developers use separate instruments rather than establish easements by plat, requiring additional review. Likewise, some development projects require the developer to secure off-site easements requiring review. Proper review will involve the city attorney and ROW agents as needed.

• The General Development Plan fee is updated to $1,000 + greater of $20/lot or $20/acre, establishing a scaling fee based on acreage and lot count to recognize the increased costs associated with project size & complexity. This also applies to a revision.

• The moving structure fee is increased from $125 to $150 and notes escrow of costs for closures, etc. The current fee does not recover cost of service and lacks clarity on other responsibilities of the applicant.

• Off-site infrastructure civil inspection fees are updated to establish a base fee ($500) and a higher calculation of public infrastructure construction costs (increased to 3.5% from 1.5%).

• Establishment of a reinspection fee of $100 for civil infrastructure inspections. • Establishment of a final walk-thru reinspection fee of $250. This fee is higher

because final walk-thru inspections typically involve 3rd parties and more than one staff member.

• Update of the base fee for plats (to $500-$750 depending on plat type) and update of the scaling portion of the fee to address lot count as well as total acreage to better recover cost of service. The update also clarifies fees that apply when public hearings & notification are triggered.

• Preliminary Plan fees are updated to add a scaling portion to the fee (greater of $20/lot or $20/ac) related to the review time for larger and more complex preliminary plans.

• Establishment of a Personal Notice Fee for Public Hearings to recover the cost of sending notification letters. This is more equitable than simply increasing the zoning change fees, etc. because it reflects the true cost to notify for a project.

• Establishment of a Property Data Request Fee to provide a new service in which staff would prepare a profile on a property with information like utility data in addition to zoning verification. Staff spends significant time with these types of requests, and this would provide for standardization as well as a useful service to property owners.

37

• PUD District fees are increased to a higher base fee and higher scaling fee for acreage, in addition to escrowing. This is to better cover the internal review time involved in addition to 3rd party review. It also better aligns with PUD Amendments.

• The PUD fee for outside the city is eliminated. PUD is zoning and is not applied in the ETJ. This would be done instead through a development agreement.

• A base fee of $500 is established for site inspections in addition to the cost of public infrastructure due to the minimum level of effort & time involved in civil inspections regardless of infrastructure cost.

• The method of calculation for site plan reviews is significantly changed. A minimum of $2,000 remains in the city and the minimum of $1,500 for outside of the city represents an increase, but a base fee ($1,000) is established along with a $0.04/SF of impervious cover fee. Impervious cover is a better unit of measure for project complexity & review time compared to acres. For example, an intensely used 1ac property has a more involved review than a lightly used 5ac property. This method is also more consistent with other cities in the region.

• A site plan correction fee is established (minimum $500; $250 + $0.04/SF of impervious cover). This is to address an increasing issue with projects changing mid-stream and triggering additional review.

• Special Use Permit fees are increased to $500 + $25 per acre, plus hearing-related fees. This is because a SUP requires a remarkably similar level of effort as zoning changes.

• The fee for starting work without a permit is increased from $150 to $500. The effort involved in clearing up a project that has started work without a permit significantly exceeds the current $150.

• Variance & Special Exception fees are updated to clarify the applicability of publication & notice fees. Subdivision waivers are also split out to make their fee more clear and use familiar language to engineers.

• Zoning change requests are shown to transition from a tiered system to a base fee of $950 with a scaling fee based on the acreage, along with clarification of the public hearing related fees.

• Zoning verification letters are increased from $25 to $50 to reflect the cost of preparation, and includes a tier at $100 for verifications that must use prescribed content or forms from the requestor.

3. FINANCIAL IMPACT

The changes to the fee structure are anticipated to develop additional revenue compared to the current fee structure. These actions are anticipated to better cover the cost of service provision without calling into question their validity.

4. RECOMMENDATION

Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on the proposed changes for incorporation into the budget process and eventually budget-related ordinances.

PRESENTATIONS

REPORT FROM MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE BETH SMITH UPDATING THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE COURT AND RELATED MATTERS

Judge Smith presented background information. She noted the court is not connected with the Hays County in regard for verification of outstanding warrants. She noted for Class C misdemeanors, county representatives have agreed to reference and keep a list at the county level, thereby verifying the list for any City of Buda outstanding warrants. Judge Smith also noted the City does not have state or nationwide access. Court Clerk Sondre Crabtree informed for 5-year older warrants, collection has been successful since an individual may not review their driver’s license without clearing the warrant. Ms. Crabtree informed the City provides various outlets to assist those individuals research and pay their warrant fees.

Mayor Ruge noted a county wide call center would be to assist in alleviating those issues.

Responding to a question by Council Member Altmiller, Ms. Crabtree informed a collection breakdown report between entities by percentage would be provided.
