CITY OF AMARILLO READER’S GUIDE TO THE BUDGET In order to avoid preparing multiple documents, this document is prepared for several different types of users. By far, the budget is our most frequently used internal financial document. The budget is often used by elected officials and City staff. The document is sufficiently detailed to be used by City staff and our elected officials in their normal job duties. Some external users may feel the overall document is too detailed. To help mitigate this level of detail, certain sections of the budget contain more summary information and give a good overall picture of the budget, the budget process, the organization, and the community. The following sections give a good overview of the budget: Transmittal Letter and Policy Statements, Capital Projects, Debt Service, and Community Profile. Also, terms and acronyms used in the budget are defined in the Glossary. A great deal of information is contained in the Transmittal Letter and Policy Statements section of the budget. First, this section contains the transmittal letter from the City Manager to the Mayor and Council. The transmittal letter addresses budget highlights and gives a good overview of the budget. In this section the reporting entity is defined along with the basis of accounting. The long-term budget, financial, and organization policies are enumerated along with short-term priorities that were addressed in the budget. There is a description of the budget process and budget guidelines used in preparing the budget. A description and commentary of major revenue sources is also contained in the Transmittal Letter and Policy Statements section. The last part of this section includes budget changes and a brief discussion on the future outlook of our community. Our Summary section contains an organization chart and a summary of resources and expenditures for all funds in total and in detail. The Summary section also contains several graphs including various revenues, tax collections, property values, and expenditures. The summary section has a three-year history of revenue by fund by revenue expenditures. The Summary section has a three-year history of revenue by fund by revenue category. A comparison of the new budget to current year’s budget, and to last year’s actual expense is listed by department by fund and the same comparison by expenditure category by fund. There is a narrative in the summary section that explains the category by fund. There is a table in the summary section that explains the relationship between the fund structure and the organization structure along with a budget comparison by organization by fund. Most of our graphs are contained in our summary section and it is designed to be liftable, meaning it could be taken out of the budget and stand on its own. In many instances, the Summary section is used in community presentations on the budget. The Capital Projects section covers the major capital acquisitions for the upcoming year and should be of interest to both internal and external users of the budget. The Capital Projects section also contains narratives on the impact of Capital Projects on the operating budget. The Debt Service section contains information on all current bond obligations and future bond issues. Our Community Profile section gives the reader of the budget a lot of general information about our City. The Community Profile contains information about our geographic location and climate, the history of our City and our local economy. Many quality of life topics are covered in our Community Profile such as local schools and higher education institutions, parks and other recreation activities, and medical facilities. For readers who want more information, the individual department budgets contain narrative information on each department including the department’s basic function and goals along with major changes and accomplishments. The departments’ budgets contain a detailed staffing report and departmental budget allocation by program which gives our citizens an accounting of where funds are to be spent.

October 1, 2018 Honorable Mayor Ginger Nelson and Members of Amarillo City Council 509 S.E. Seventh Avenue Amarillo, TX 79101 Dear Mayor Nelson and Members of the City Council: Transmitted herewith is the City of Amarillo Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 (Budget). The Budget is balanced in accordance with the Amarillo City Charter and laws of the State of Texas. The Budget totals approximately $379.6 million, with $254.1 million approved for operation and maintenance functions, $87.4 million in capital, and $38.1 million required to support existing debt service payments. The annual Budget is the most important policy document for consideration by the Council. It identifies required funding to deliver more than 250 programs and services to the citizens of Amarillo. The 2018/2019 Annual Operating Budget is presented to Council as a program based budget, i.e. the various programs offered by City departments are presented with program descriptions and performance measures to define the level and quality of services delivered to Amarillo citizens. This Budget represents maintenance of current service levels for more than 250 programs funded by the City. All programs have a demonstrated connection to the BluePrint for Amarillo and supporting Council pillars. As experienced in previous years, the development of the Budget has been challenging, however, the Budget addresses enhancements to the public safety function and employee compensation. The sales tax revenues have been strong for the current year and are projected to increase by 2.4%. Taxable property values remain strong with a 2.8% increase for 2018. These sources of revenue make up the largest percentage of our funding for general government expenses. Every effort has been made to maintain current levels of service throughout the City with available revenues. The impact of increasing costs in several vital areas of commodities, materials, supplies, fuel, electricity and personnel have required we make some difficult choices to balance the Budget. This Budget represents a $19.9 million increase from the prior year. The Budget addresses the BluePrint for Amarillo. Budget enhancements focus on public safety and the continuation of year three of the capital improvement program. The current Budget includes funding for 11 police officers, six neighborhood police officer positions and five additional fire fighter positions. The 11 police officers positions were unfunded during the 2016/2017 fiscal year. The restoration of these budget dollars will increase the number of officers in the field. The addition of six neighborhood police officers will allow the Police Department to enhance the presence in area neighborhoods.

With the future expansion of Station #5 to a two‐company station, the Fire Department will need 15 additional positions. The additional five fire fighter positions are year one of a planned three year staffing increase to provide for the additional personnel for the second company at Station #5. During the current year, the Department intends to use the additional personnel to help offset increases in overtime expenses. CONSOLIDATED BUDGET Our 2018/2019 budget is $379.6 million; which is an increase of 5.5%, or $19.9 million, as compared to our 2017/2018 budget of $359.7 million. The areas of specific increase/decrease in this budget are:

Municipal government is a service business and the predominant expense category in our Budget is always personnel and the associated employee salary and benefit expenses. Personnel costs comprise 43%, or $162.7 million, of our 2018/2019 net Budget. The second largest category is Capital Improvement Projects at $87.4 million, or 23%, of the net Budget. Debt Service accounts for 10%, or $38.1 million, of the net Budget. Debt service expenditures include all funds. The Debt Service category includes a 19% increase which includes the anticipated debt service dollars associated with the voter approved general obligation debt, additional bond issues in both the Water and Sewer and the Drainage fund to address needed capital infrastructure projects and the debt service associated with the 2018

Hotel Occupancy Tax Revenue bonds, that are funding the construction of the multi‐purpose event venue. Property and Sales Taxes For the 2018/2019 fiscal year, the property tax rate remained the same except for the $0.00474 increase for the voter approved debt service associated with the approval of Proposition 1 and 2 during the November 8, 2016 bond election. The 2018/2019 rate is $0.36838 per $100 taxable value versus the 2017/2018 rate of $0.36364. A historical review of the rate reflects that the City Council increased the property tax rate by one cent to $0.32009 for the 2011/2012 fiscal year after three years with the same property tax rate and by $0.02 in the 2013/2014 fiscal year, by $0.005 in the 2014/2015 fiscal year and by $0.00563 to $0.35072 for the 2015/2016 fiscal year. The rate increases associated with 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 are directly related to the debt service portion of the tax rate. It is interesting to note that while the property tax rate and associated levy is often in the public eye, it raises less revenue than is required to operate only the Amarillo Police Department for the upcoming fiscal year. The sales tax is the City’s largest revenue source. Amarillo has long enjoyed a history of steadily increasing sales tax, which has offset our low property tax rate. However, in the 2016/2017 fiscal year the City saw receipts declining by 1%. We are pleased to note that the City is experiencing increased sales tax receipts for the current year and are estimating $57 million, which is a trending up of 2.5%. Next year’s estimate includes a 2.4% increase ($58.4 million). The sales tax budget of $58.4 million for the 2018/2019 fiscal year is not sufficient alone to fund the budgets for Public Safety. The City relies on multiple revenue sources to support General Fund operations. Franchise Fees, User Fees and Charges During this Budget, City staff analyzed and reviewed all funds. During the 2010/2011 fiscal year, the City issued water and sewer bonds to fund water rights purchases, as well as to participate in a CRMWA debt issue for the purchase of ground water rights. Funding of this debt service necessitated an 11% increase in the water and sewer rates. This rate increase was implemented over two budget cycles. Thus, rates were increased by 6% in the 2011/2012 budget, and 5% in the 2012/2013 fiscal year budget. In the 2013/2014 fiscal year, the City included a 2% rate increase. For the 2014/2015 fiscal year, the City included an increase in the fourth tier rates from $4.65 to $5.00 per 1,000 gallons. This rate increase only affected those customers that use over 50 thousand gallons a month. The City Council has approved a 3% water and sewer rate increase for the 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and the 2017/2018 fiscal year to offset additional debt services anticipated with new bond issues. The 3% rate increases in 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 funded the first two years of a $140.0 million five‐year Community Investment Program. The 2018/2019 budget includes an additional 3% water and sewer rate increase, which represents the third year of the five‐year program. The City anticipates similar 3% rate increases over the next two years. The water rate structure is designed so that customers who only use water for domestic use still have very reasonable rates. A residential 10,000 gallon water user will have a monthly rate of $32.21, which is very low compared to other Texas cities. The Budget includes a 1.2% increase in the Solid Waste rates. This additional funding will allow the City to develop, secure, staff and operate two additional brush chipping sites. The current year 2017/2018 fiscal year budget and the 2018/2019 fiscal year budget each include a 4% Drainage fee increase to fund year three of the Council approved five‐year Community Investment Program. It is anticipated that this will be the second of five 4% Drainage fee increases to fund the Community Investment Program.

5


Employee Staffing The 2018/2019 Budget consists of 2,198 permanent and 366 part‐time employee positions. Permanent positions have increased by 21 positions over the current year and part‐time positions have increased by four. As reviewed previously, the Budget includes enhancements to Public Safety with funding for 17 police officers, including six new neighborhood police officer positions, and five firefighters. Animal Management and Welfare is adding two new positions to staff a spay and neuter clinic that is anticipated to be completed in 2019 and one additional position to help with adoptions. Environmental Health is adding two positions to implement the new grease trap permit and inspection program and one additional administrative position. The Photographic Traffic Enforcement Fund is adding a new program coordinator that will be funded by revenues from that fund. Drainage Utility is adding an Assistant Superintendant position, Airport is eliminating an Airport Operations Manager position, and Information Technology is adding a Special Projects Manager. The position for Information Technology will be used to manage implementation of the Tyler Technologies software currently underway. Below is a summary of the staffing changes for the 2018/2019 Budget:

Employee Compensation 1) Approval of year two of the Amarillo Police Officer Association Meet and Confer Agreement which addresses shift differential pay equal to 2.5% of base pay for night shift/weekend personnel; 2) 1% pay increase for civilian employees as pay‐for‐performance, based on annual evaluations; 3) 1% pay increase for Police and Fire employees; and 4) 1% lump sum payment for civilians and public safety. The total cost of these pay plan improvements and benefits is $3.4 million. Most of the cost ($2.2 million) is in the General Fund. Capital Improvement Program The 2018/2019 capital budget is $87,368,647. The voters approved, on the November 8, 2016 bond election, $109 million for public safety and street improvements. The City continues the implementation

of these bond funded improvements over a five year period, with the third issue during 2019. The Budget includes year three of the Water and Sewer Community Improvement Program with an anticipated 3% increase in water and sewer fees for a bond issue to fund the Program, the third of five similarly planned increases. The Budget also includes year three of the Drainage Community Improvement Program with an anticipated 4% increase in drainage fees for a bond issue to fund the Program, the second of five similarly planned increases. Future Priorities The 2018/2019 Budget has prioritized enhancements to public safety. Going forward the City will need to identify additional budget dollars to address the maintenance of aging city facilities. As mentioned the staffing for the second company associated with Fire Station #5 includes 15 additional fire fighter positions. The City anticipates funding these positions over a three year period. During the 2019/2020 fiscal year the City anticipates the completion of a spay and neuter clinic for Animal Management and Welfare with estimated annual operating costs exceeding $300,000. Funding for park facility improvement is limited. Going forward budget dollars will need to be identified to support the City park system. In 2016, the voters approved the issuance of $89 million for Street improvements to be issued over a five year period with the last issuance in the 2021 fiscal year. Looking past 2021, the City will need to budget dollars to continue funding maintenance of the City street infrastructure. Conclusion Thank you each for your leadership of our City. I appreciate the extensive time and effort you undertake to study and understand the complexities of the varied operations of our organization. Your vision, guidance and service are invaluable and truly make Amarillo a great community! I want to thank you for the comprehensive review of the 2018/2019 budget process and thank the entire management team for their hard work in building the annual Budget. Difficult choices were made to ensure we can efficiently and effectively manage our resources to address Council priorities and to continue our commitment to serve the citizens of Amarillo. Respectfully Submitted, Jared Miller City Manager

CITY OF AMARILLO

ENTITY AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF THE ENTITY The City of Amarillo was chartered in 1913 as authorized by a statute enacted by the Texas Legislature that year. It was the first city in Texas, and the fifth city in the United States, to adopt the commission-manager form of government. The principal governmental services of the City include: public safety and health, streets, sanitation, culture-recreation, mass transit operations, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. In addition, the City maintains the water and sewer system and the airport. For financial statement presentation, the City of Amarillo is considered the primary governmental unit for other reporting entities; however, none of those entities have been included in this budget presentation. MISSION Create the best environment possible for every Amarillo resident to find and achieve their potential for greatness. OUR VISION Building on our heritage, our vision for Amarillo is that of a community that is cohesive and competitive. These objectives will be met through developing the following: Healthy, Vibrant Community: Where people feel safe, basic human needs are met, diverse educational opportunities are available, diversity is cultivated, citizens are interested, informed, and involved, the environment is clean and aesthetically appealing, and the arts, culture and recreational offerings flourish. Sustainable, Diverse Economy: Where educational opportunities support and promote economic development, existing businesses are nurtured, the environment supports new business development, the community links globally and older neighborhoods remain vital. Orderly Growth: Where regular investment in existing infrastructure and neighborhoods sustain their vitality, proper planning for new infrastructure protects and strengthens our quality of life and promotes economic development, national resources are sustained, and the essential values and visions of the community remain intact. OUR CORE VALUES  Honesty and Integrity: Commit to the highest standard of ethical and legal behavior.  Excellent Customer Service: Recognize that we exist for our customers.  High Performance: Instill pride and professionalism in the workplace and the community; demonstrate the quality and value of our work and results.  Openness and Teamwork: Work together toward common goals, building on each others’ strengths.  Respect for Diversity: Cultivate a public awareness and appreciation for diversity within our community and organization.  Forward Thinking: Identify trends, anticipate problems and develop innovative and cost-effective solutions; recognize that today’s public policy decisions will determine tomorrow’s community. LONG RANGE GOALS AND ACTION STRATEGIES The goals and recommended action strategies that follow were created by City Council along with the City Managers. Named ‘BluePrint for Amarillo’, the Council Pillars were authorized by City Council in March 2018. BluePrint for Amarillo sets the strategic direction the City of Amarillo will take in terms of focus, priorities and allocation of resources. By following a Community Engagement model, City staff will develop the processes to pursue the BluePrint for Amarillo’s objectives in a way that can be measured. Many of the pillars are already underway while others require further staff evaluation or participation with partners in the private sector, educational institutions and other community groups.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING

Fund Accounting: The City’s accounting and financial reporting are in accordance with methods prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). The accounting policies of the City of Amarillo conform to generally-accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental entities. Accordingly, the accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity. Funds are used in governmental accounting to segregate sources and uses of monies. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of accounts. The fiduciary funds are not included in the budget since they are not subject to appropriation and are governed by a separate trust document or board. In addition to the above-described fund accounting structure, we make several adjustments to build the entity-wide financial statements required by GASB statement 34 (GASB 34). Governmental Funds: General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City and the City’s most significant fund. It is used to account for all financial resources except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund. Most common City functions such as public safety, parks, library and administration are contained in the General Fund. Temporary grant programs that will ultimately have to be funded by the General Fund are included in the General Fund. These temporary grant programs usually provide full or partial funding of the program for a few years and are then incorporated into their normal General Fund budget. Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted for specified purposes. They are used mainly to budget and account for grants made to the City. Special Revenue Funds are also used to account for the transactions of the Public Improvement Districts (PID) organized in the city since those funds are earmarked for a specific purpose. The Court Technology Fund and the Court Security Fund are both Special Revenue Funds since their revenue can only be spent for a specific purpose. Special Revenue Funds also include our Housing Assistance Program, along with the Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing, the Community Development Block Grant, the Summer Lunch Program, the Police Seized Property Funds, other law enforcement grants, the law enforcement and firefighter training grants, the Home 11


CITY OF AMARILLO

Program, Hazardous Materials Transportation, and Urban Transportation Planning Grants, Public Health and Women, Infants & Children grant, and the Emergency Management Pantex Agreement in Principle (AIP) grant. The above grant funds are not subject to appropriation. The budget will be negotiated with the granting agency and accepted by the governing body when they approve the grant contract. The grant budgets are estimates presented to gain a better understanding of the City’s entire financial picture. The PID budgets along with the Court Technology Fund, the Court Security Fund and the Police Seized Property Fund are subject to appropriation and approved by the City Council in the budget process. Debt Service Fund: The Debt Service Fund is used to account for accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt-related costs. The City has three debt service funds. The General Obligation Bonds and our 2010 and 2017 Certificates of Obligation are supported by annual property tax assessments. The Certificates of Obligation Bonds issued for Public Improvement District improvements are supported by annual PID assessments and are reported in the Debt Service Fund. This City has used Certificates of Obligations to rebuild a golf course. Annual debt service associated with this bond is supported by golf revenue. Enterprise Funds debt obligation are recorded in, and provided by, revenues from that fund’s business activities. Accordingly, Certificates of Obligation issued for Enterprise Fund activities are not budgeted in the Debt Service Fund. For additional information, we also include the payment schedule for the water and sewer debt. However, water and sewer bonded debt is budgeted and paid in the Water and Sewer Fund. In keeping with our policy of funding long-term obligations on an annual basis, we have a separate debt service fund to provide for our sick leave and annual leave obligation. Capital Projects Funds: Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisitions or construction of major capital improvements and facilities. Approved Capital Projects are detailed in the Capital Projects section of the budget and include the General Construction Fund, the Street Improvement Fund, the Civic Center Improvement Fund, the Golf Course Improvement Fund, the Bivins Improvement Fund, the Animal Shelter Improvement Fund, and the Solid Waste Improvement Fund. Capital projects for Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds) would be budgeted in those individual funds. Proprietary Funds: Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business. The intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis are financed or recovered primarily through user charges, or where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income, if appropriate, should be accounted separately for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes. Enterprise Funds are used to account for the activities in the airport, the drainage utility, and the water and sewer system. Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services, on a cost-reimbursement basis, for agencies of the City or for other governments. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the activities of the Fleet Services, Information Technology and the City’s self-insurance activities. Basis of Accounting/Budgeting: The basis of accounting refers to revenues, expenditures or expenses being recognized in accounts and reported in the financial statements. All governmental funds listed above are accounted for using the modified accrual basis for financial reporting and for budget purposes. With the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as current assets. For example, sales taxes are considered "measurable" when in the hands of the State Comptroller and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other major revenues that are subject to accrual include utility franchise taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, rentals, and intercity charges. Waste collection fees are recorded as revenue when billed. Major revenues that cannot be accrued include hotel occupancy taxes, licenses, permits, fines and forfeitures. Property taxes projected to be collected within 60 days after year-end are considered to be available in the current fiscal year. For a governmental fund, capital would be recorded as expenditure in the governmental fund and recorded as an asset in the general fixed assets group of accounts. On the entity-wide financial statements required by GASB 34, we would recognize the depreciation on the general fixed assets in their corresponding activity. GASB 34 requires several adjustments to full accrual accounting and has a consolidated view by activity without regard to fund type. In the governmental funds (above), expenditures are recognized when the related liability is incurred; however, budgets are encumbered when contracts are awarded. Governmental funds accumulated unpaid vacation and sick pay are recorded as liabilities on the entity-wide financial statements and not at the fund level.

12


CITY OF AMARILLO

All proprietary funds listed above are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when they are incurred. The liability for compensated absences is recorded as an operating expense when incurred and reported as a liability on the balance sheet for the applicable fund. In a proprietary fund, a capital expenditure would be recorded as an asset on the balance sheet of the proprietary fund and depreciated over its useful life. As previously mentioned, we used the modified accrual method for both accounting and budgeting in the governmental funds. However, we operate with two types of capital budgets: nominal capital and capital projects. Nominal capital is defined as capital items under $25,000. The nominal capital is budgeted in a department’s operational budget in both governmental and proprietary funds. For a governmental fund, nominal capital would be recorded as an expenditure in the governmental fund and recorded as an asset in the general fixed assets group of accounts. For the proprietary funds, we also budget nominal capital and depreciation in the operating budget of the department. The large capital purchases are budgeted in the capital projects budget. Depreciation is estimated on existing assets and large projects anticipated to be in service in the upcoming year. In determining proprietary funds available resources, both the nominal capital (which is included in the operating budgets) and capital projects would be shown as expenditures. However, depreciation would be shown as a reduction of expenditure since it is a non-cash item. As previously mentioned, all capital items (both nominal capital and capital projects) would be recorded as assets on the balance sheet of the proprietary fund and depreciated over their useful life for accounting purposes. It should be noted that the budget of a proprietary fund is a management tool as opposed to a legally adopted appropriation of funds. For lack of a better term, the budgets of the proprietary funds are a hybrid, using elements of full accrual and elements of modified accrual. Like the modified accrual, capital purchases are budgeted, but depreciation is also budgeted (full accrual). We feel this method of budgeting proprietary funds gives management the control to manage the departmental expenditures. Another important difference in our method of accounting and budgeting is in the fiduciary funds. We do not budget fiduciary funds since they are not available for appropriation by our governing body. A trust document or other governing body governs fiduciary funds. FINANCIAL POLICIES The purpose of the City of Amarillo’s financial policies is to establish and maintain effective long-term management of the City’s financial resources. As a result of the City’s financial policies, the City should be able to retain a sound financial condition, retain favorable bond rating to provide future generations with the ability to borrow capital at favorable interest rates, and balance the needs of communities with their ability to pay. A more detailed explanation of the City of Amarillo’s Financial Policies will follow the summary below. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL POLICIES              

Maintain a balanced budget Maintain an adequate tax rate comparable with similar cities Maintain budgetary control over revenue and expenditures Stabilize rates and fees Charge user fees to cover at least a portion of the cost of a service Provide reserves for unforeseen items Charge administrative services to grants and proprietary funds Process General Fund payments from the Water and Sewer System Only request grant funding when the purpose of the grant is consistent with the goals of the City of Amarillo Plan and make capital acquisitions in an orderly fashion Provide debt financing when needed Adhere to a prudent Investment Policy Make annual provisions of long-term obligations Maintain a minimum number of funds to report the activities of the City of Amarillo

Balanced Budget: The City of Amarillo will develop a balanced budget for all funds subject to appropriation. Current resources (current revenues plus appropriated reserves) will equal or exceed budgeted expenditures. Long-term debt will not be used to fund current operating expenses. Moreover, non-recurring resources will only be used to fund non-recurring expenditures. Tax Rate: 13


CITY OF AMARILLO

The tax rate should be comparable with similarly sized Texas cites and should be adequate to produce the revenues needed for traditional City services included in the City of Amarillo’s General Fund. Also, the City strives not to exceed the rollback rate as computed in the Truth in Taxation calculations. The City grants an $8,600 / age 65 exemption or disability exemption. Moreover taxes are frozen for age 65 or disability. Annual Budget and Budgetary Control: The City will prepare a detailed budget for public hearings that delineates the sources and uses of funds. The City will be prudent in preparing the annual budget. The City will seek to prepare a conservative budget where revenue estimates are reasonably attainable and not aggressive. Expense budgets should also be reasonable, but should also provide for unforeseen expenditures. Year-end excess of revenue over expenditures not needed for reserve requirements will be used to finance the City’s capital requirements in subsequent years in accordance with the City’s pay-as-you-go financing of capital. The City will establish and maintain a traditional line-item budget as one of management’s means of monitoring both revenue and expenditures throughout the fiscal year. Rate Stability: The City strives to not have large rate increases in taxes or other user fees and charges. When possible, large rate increases should be anticipated and phased-in gradually to be less burdensome on our constituents. User Fees: In order to minimize the cost of services to our citizens in the form of property taxes, user fees will be used to recoup the cost of services to the extent economically possible. When it is not practical to offset the entire cost of a service with user fees, the City will charge a fee for the service to partially offset the cost. While not restricted to the budget process, user fees are reviewed as a part of the budget process. The City will adopt annual utility rates that will generate revenues adequate to provide for operations of the system including depreciation, legal requirements of bond covenants, capital replacement and expansion of the system. Reserves: The City seeks to maintain reserves, which should be sufficient to provide financing for capital or special projects and meet unforeseen contingencies such as lawsuits, tax roll tie-ups, fluctuations in sales tax, receipts from the city-owned utilities, and other fiscal emergencies. While many cities enjoy the stability of the majority of the revenues being generated by property taxes, most of the City of Amarillo’s revenues are heavily dependent on the local economy (e.g., sales tax) and/or are weatherrelated (utility charges and franchise taxes). The City of Amarillo has enjoyed overall growth in its revenues. However, due to the potential volatility of the City’s major revenue sources, the overall revenue and corresponding fund balances are more vulnerable than a city then that of a city that is more dependent on property taxes as its major revenue source. Accordingly, the target reserve balance for the General Fund would be about three months of the current operating budget. For proprietary funds, the target reserve balance would be three months of the operating budget plus at least one year’s capital. If large capital needs are anticipated in the near future, reserves may be accumulated to provide for at least a portion of the needed financing. For the Public Improvement Districts maintained by the City, the long-term reserve would also be at least three months operating expenses and could also have a capital replacement reserve. General Fund balances greater than needed for the purposes stated above are transferred to Capital Projects funds in our normal budgetary process to provide for current and future capital needs. In calculating reserves, the City of Amarillo uses “Available Funds” as opposed to Fund Balance. With Available Funds, the City only includes those items readily convertible to cash, less liabilities and encumbrances. The main items excluded from Available Funds would be inventories and unrealized changes in the value of investments. Inventories should remain at about the same levels from year to year and would not be available for appropriation. The City generally holds investments to maturity and temporary increases or decreases in the value of these investments are not germane to the budget process. Since the calculation is different from Fund Balance, the actual beginning of the year calculation is included on the “Summary of Resources and Expenditures” presentation. General and Administrative Charges: The General Fund should be compensated by all enterprise funds and internal services funds for the administrative services provided, such as management, finance, personnel and other general administrative costs. Also, to the extent allowable by the granting agency, the City will recoup all allowable indirect costs to compensate the City for administration of the various grant programs. For grants, the administrative fee takes the form of indirect costs. These costs are derived from our indirect cost allocation plan, which is developed in accordance with Federal Cost Principals for allocating overhead costs. For City 14


CITY OF AMARILLO

functions, the administrative fees are derived from a modified version of our Indirect Cost Allocation Plan. The Indirect Cost Plan is modified to recognize the General Government Expense, which is mainly the Mayor and City Council portion, along with the administrative costs associated with the Mayor and City Council. The Mayor and City Council set policy for the entire organization and these costs are recognized in our modified Indirect Cost Plan. General Fund Payments from the Water and Sewer Utility and the Drainage Utility: The Water and Sewer Utility is operated in a manner similar to a Public Utility. Accordingly, the Water and Sewer Utility makes corresponding payments to the City of Amarillo General Fund that a private utility would be required to make. The Water and Sewer Utility makes payments in lieu of tax payments for property taxes and franchise taxes. Consistent with our above policy on administrative charges, the Water and Sewer Utility also reimburses the City for administrative costs associated with the Water and Sewer Utility. The payment in lieu of property tax is calculated on the estimated property value of the Water and Sewer System at the current tax rate including the half percent sales tax in lieu of property tax rate. The payment in lieu of franchise tax is calculated in a similar manner as our telephone franchise tax, which is a per line charge. The Water and Sewer Utility pays the General Fund a per account charge on each water and sewer account monthly. The rate is adjusted annually for increases in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index and any increase in water and sewer rates. The account charge reduces weather-related fluctuations in payments and makes the payment more predicable for both the General Fund and the Water and Sewer Utility. It should be noted that the General Fund pays the Water and Sewer Utility for water and sewer service. In fact, the City of Amarillo is one of the larger Water and Sewer Utility customers. Likewise, the City pays a drainage fee to the Drainage Utility, and the Drainage Utility pays an administrative fee to the City. Grant-in-Aid Policy: The securing and/or approval of federal and state assistance will be based on the following criteria:    

What benefit does the project have to the community? What will be the future impact to the city due to acceptance of the funding, and what is the level of local funding? How does the project relate to current operations and/or other future plans of the organization? With very few exceptions, grants are expected to pay their fair share of overall City administrative costs in the form of the indirect cost rate.

Capital Acquisition/Improvement Policy: The City will plan and budget for the replacement of equipment and capital assets as the need arises. Minor capital replacement items will be planned for and provided in the department’s operating budget. Capital replacements should be limited to items that are no longer functional, unable to be repaired, not economically repairable, or a safety hazard. Once the item is replaced, it is generally sold by auction. Planning for major capital improvements is on a five-year basis and is updated annually. The City uses pay-as-you-go financing of capital acquisitions where feasible. When debt is needed to finance capital assets, the City strives to schedule bond issues so that level payments are made each year over the life of the issue and the term of the financing does not exceed the useful life to the asset. The City of Amarillo prioritizes the funding of capital improvement projects on the basis of a five-year Capital Improvement Plan. A capital improvement is any expenditure for the purchase, construction, replacement, expansion, or major renovation of the physical assets of the city when the project is relatively expensive ($25,000 or greater), long-term and permanent. Some common examples are streets, libraries, traffic signal systems, fire stations, additional trucks, and water and sewer lines. Capital needs of less than $25,000 (minor replacement items) are provided for in the department's annual operating budget. The approved projects for the first year of the five-year capital improvement program are incorporated in the City's budget in the "Capital Projects" section of the budget. The functions of the Capital Improvement Program are as follows: 1.

Planning for the eventual replacement of capital items and estimating the cost of replacement;

2.

Scheduling all capital projects over a fixed period with appropriate planning and implementation;

3.

Budgeting priority projects and developing revenue sources for proposed improvements;

15


CITY OF AMARILLO

4.

Coordinating the activities of various departments in meeting project schedules;

5.

Monitoring and evaluating the progress of capital projects; and

6.

Informing the public of projected capital improvements.

The following questions are considered when justifying a project: 1.

What is the relationship of the project to the progress of the entire city?

2.

Is this project part of a large program? How does the project relate to the goals of the program?

3.

How many citizens will be helped by it? How many citizens will be harmed or inconvenienced if the project is not considered?

4.

Will it add to the value of the surrounding area? Will it increase the valuations of local property?

5.

Will it increase the efficiency of the performance of a service? Will it reduce the ongoing costs of a service or facility?

6.

Will it provide a service required for economic development of the community? What improvements would be of the most value in attracting commercial and industrial firms?

7.

Is this project required to complete a major public improvement?

8.

Will rapid urban growth in the area of the proposed project increase the costs of land acquisition if the project is deferred?

9.

Is the project well identified by the citizens? Does it have established voter appeal?

10. Is the project needed to protect public health or safety? Consistent with the City’s philosophy on user fees, the City passes a portion of the cost of extending utilities and improvements in subdivisions to developers of the subdivisions rather than to the general public. Additionally, where the levels of desired city services are beyond the norm for a subdivision, Public Improvement Districts have been created to provide enhanced services without burdening the entire community. Capitalization Policy: Factors to be considered in determining items to be capitalized are as follows: 1.

The expected normal useful life is greater than one year.

2.

The item has a unit cost of $5,000 or more. Unit cost should include any charges for freight or installation.

3.

The capital cost of an integrated system, such as a personal computer, should be capitalized as one unit, including all the applicable costs to make the unit function properly.

Debt Policies: The City of Amarillo prefers to finance capital acquisitions and improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis. Generally, year-end excess of revenue over expenditures are earmarked for future capital needs and transferred to capital project funds in our governmental funds during the budgetary process. For proprietary funds, the excess of current revenues over operating expenses and debt service will be used for capital expenditures. When capital needs exceed funding of a pay-as-you-go basis, debt will be issued. The City will not use long-term debt to finance current operations. The level of indebtedness the City can reasonably expect to incur is analyzed to make sure that the City's high credit standing is not jeopardized. Accordingly, longterm debt will be used only for capital projects (replacements, expansions, improvements, and acquisitions). Short-term debt will be used only as interim financing for projects that will result in capital improvements. When debt is issued, the City of Amarillo will employ competent financial advisors and bond counsel. The City shall use a 16


CITY OF AMARILLO

competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless the use of a negotiated process is warranted due to market timing requirements (refunding), or a unique pledge or debt structure. The City will award competitively issued debt on a true interest cost (TIC) basis. The general policy of the City is to establish debt repayment schedules that use level annual principal and interest payments. The City will not enter into derivative transactions. The financing of the project should not exceed the useful life of the improvement. However, maturity schedules can be modified in a refinancing to level out debt service payments, including extending maturities. The capital acquisition or improvement should benefit future citizens. Where possible, the City will use self-supporting bonds instead of General Obligations Bonds to finance projects. However, the City will issue combination tax and revenue Certificates of Obligations as a credit enhancement to what would otherwise be a revenue bond. All debt will be soundly financed by conservatively projecting revenue sources utilized to pay debt. For revenue bonds, the net revenues available for debt service should be at least 1.25 times the average annual principal and interest requirements of the revenue bonds. The City will structure debt repayment schedules to achieve level debt service payments and avoid debt that provides for balloon payments. The City of Amarillo maintains a good rapport and communication with bondholders and rating agencies at all times and follows a policy of full disclosure on every financial report. Currently, all bonded debt for the City’s Water and Sewer System and the Drainage Utility Fund is solely supported by the revenues of the Water and Sewer System and the Drainage Utility Fund respectively. The Certificates of Obligation debt issued for the Public Improvement Districts are fully supported by Public Improvement District assessments. The City prefers to maintain its records in its electronic document management system. The City will maintain the following records for as long as the bonds are outstanding plus three years after the final redemption date of the bonds:

    

Basic records relating to the bond transaction (including the trust indenture, loan agreements, and bond counsel opinion); Documentation evidencing expenditure of bond proceeds; Documentation evidencing use of bond-financed property by public and private sources (i.e., copies of management contracts and research agreements); Documentation evidencing all sources of payment or security for the bonds; and Documentation pertaining to any investment of bond proceeds (including the purchase and sale of securities, SLGs subscriptions, yield calculations for each class of investments, actual investment income received the investment of proceeds, guaranteed investment contracts, and rebate calculations).

The City will issue debt so that the proceeds from the issuance reasonably match the amount needed to fund the project, including reserve requirements and issuance costs. Accordingly, the City will utilize premiums and/or discounts on various serial maturities to meet its funding goal. However, Recovery Zone Development Bonds and Recovery Zone Facilities Bonds will be issued at par. Other Build America Bonds (BABs) will be issued at par or at a discount. The limitation on premiums on Recovery Zones Bonds will be provided in all offering documents of the proposed bonds. Before a bond offer is presented to the City Council, the City Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel will review the offer for compliance with all applicable laws and regulation. Advance refunding and forward delivery refunding transactions for savings should be considered when the net present value savings as a percentage of the par amount of refunded bonds is at least 3%. Current refunding transactions issued for savings should be considered when the net present value savings as a percentage of the par amount of refunded bonds is at least 2%. From time to time, the City may also issue refunding debt for purposes of restructuring debt, changing covenants, and/or changing the repayment source of the bonds. Such purpose should be specifically recognized by City Council. Issuance costs, and a reasonably required reserve, can be paid from bond proceeds. In determining a reasonably required reserve fund for purposes of this provision, the rules under § 148(d)(2) will apply. The balance of bond proceeds can only be used for capital (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.150-1(b)). An eligible financing of capital expenditures includes a reimbursement of capital expenditures under the reimbursement rules contained in Treas. Reg. §1.150-2. Up to 2% of the proceeds from the Build America Bonds will be used for issuance costs and a reasonably required reserve fund could be funded from the bond proceeds. In determining a reasonably required reserve fund for purposes of this provision, the rules under §148(d)(2) will apply. The balance of the proceeds (100%) will only be used for capital improvements (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.150-1(b)). An eligible financing of capital expenditures includes a reimbursement of capital expenditures under the reimbursement rules contained in Treas. Reg. §1.150-2. Bonds will only be issued in an amount that can reasonably be spent within the three-year temporary period. The project manager will receive monthly reports on the spending progress to comply with this rule. The City will hire a competent firm to calculate the arbitrage rebate annually and prepare timely filings with the IRS. The corresponding liability, if any, will be adjusted annually on the City’s financial statements for the proprietary funds and be recorded as a GASB 34 adjustment in the Government Wide Financial Statements, if material. The firm will also monitor the spending on all issues that still have bond proceeds for yield restriction. The refundable credit reported on Form 8038-CP will be prepared by the City and submitted to the IRS. The City intends to 17


CITY OF AMARILLO

issue fixed rate debt. Accordingly, the 8038-CP will be filed at least 45 days before the applicable interest payment date, but not earlier than 90 days before the applicable interest payment date. The City will be listed in part 1 of the 8038-CP to receive the payment and will elect to have the funds electronically deposited into the debt service account. Deposits and Investment Policies: State statutes govern the City’s investment policies, as well as the City’s own written investment policy and strategy. In accordance with state law and the City Investment Policy, the City’s investment objectives are to preserve capital, provide liquidity, and maximize earnings within the constraints of capital preservation and liquidity. City funds are deposited in FDICinsured banks located within the city. All funds held at the City’s authorized depository are fully collateralized with securities held by a third party. Permissible investments include the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

6.

Time deposits, certificates of deposit, other interest bearing accounts, and bank money market accounts at the City of Amarillo's authorized depository, not to exceed the amount of collateral pledged by the depository. Time deposits and certificates of deposit held outside the City depository with full FDIC insurance. Certificates of deposits purchased through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS). Obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities. The investment in agencies and instrumentalities is limited to 70% plus any unused portion of the taxable municipal securities limit below. No-load money market mutual funds that are continuously rated AAA or AAAm by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, have a dollar-weighted average stated maturity of 90 days or less, and seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share. Taxable municipal securities rated not less than AA, or its equivalent, by a nationally recognized rating agency or rated AAA insured. The total investment in taxable municipal securities would be limited to 10% of the portfolio.

The City will not employ any investment strategy that is inherently risky and will not invest in any securities that are inherently risky. Prohibited securities include mortgage-backed securities that pay only interest, mortgage-backed securities that pay only principal, obligations where the interest rate is determined by an index that adjusts opposite to changes in a market index, obligations related to foreign currency or foreign market interest rates or indices and obligations with maturities greater than 5 years. In accordance with GASB Statement 31, interest income will be recorded in the related fund that holds the investment. Accordingly, capital project funds will report interest income derived from investments in the capital project fund that holds the investment. However, capital project funds that rely solely on General Fund transfers for funding will transfer all interest income to the General Fund (the actual source of the funding) annually. Interfund Transfers: Departments within the same fund may not charge each other for work performed. However, the department requesting the work is responsible for buying the material. Interfund charges are only made if the charge is significant. Pension Plans and Other Long-term Liabilities: To insure there will be adequate funds available and future generations will not be overburdened, the City of Amarillo will provide funding on an annual basis for pension obligations and other long-term obligations. Pension costs will be provided for annually in the budget process based on actual actuarial estimates. The City will strive to amortize the Actuarial Accrued Unfunded Liability (AAUL) over no more than 30 years. However, the City could use the 40-year amortization period permitted under state law to amortize the AAUL in an effort to reduce significant rate fluctuations. The provision for pension cost is recorded on an accrual basis. The provision for accumulated unpaid vacation and sick pay will also be recognized and funded on an annual basis. The funds accumulated for the Governmental Funds’ portion of unpaid vacation and sick pay will be recorded in the Debt Service Funds. Amounts needed to fund the General Fund portion of the liability for sick and annual leave liability are transferred from the General Fund as a part of the budgetary process. For proprietary funds, the liability for unpaid vacation and sick leave will be reflected on the individual fund’s balance sheet and the proprietary fund will provide for the future obligation on an annual basis through the fund’s charge structure. The cost of both the pension and the obligation for unpaid vacation and sick leave would be funded over the career of the employee earning the benefit instead of at termination. The City of Amarillo had not started funding its Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) other than pensions until 2013. The City’s OPEB obligation is subsidized post-retirement employee and dependent health insurance. The City is participating in an

18


CITY OF AMARILLO

irrevocable trust and began funding the obligation in January 2013. For the first year the funding will be at a fund level and thereafter it will be budgeted at a department level. Number of Funds: The City seeks to have the minimum number of funds necessary to account for the financial activities of the City. Government resources are allocated to, and accounted for in, individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. When possible, the City of Amarillo will separate activities into different departments within a fund as opposed to setting up a new fund. BUDGET PROCESS The City uses a traditional line item budget approach, giving the highest level of detail and accountability. The 2018/2019 Annual Operating Budget is presented to Council as a Program Budget, i.e. the various programs offered by City departments is presented with program descriptions and performance measures to define the level and quality of services delivered to Amarillo citizens. The proposed Budget represents maintenance of current service levels for the more than 250 programs funded by the City. All programs have a demonstrated connection to BluePrint Amarillo and supporting Council Pillars. The Government Funds above are prepared on a modified accrual basis. The budgets of Proprietary Funds above are prepared on an accrual basis. In the budget process, City departments present a base budget and supplement to the base budget. The base budget is the funding needed to continue programs and departments at their current service level. Supplements to the base budget represent program additions, enhancements, or capital requests including new and replacement capital. The City Council adheres to the following procedures in establishing the budget: 1.

Under the City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and recommending a budget for the City Council’s consideration. The City Manager, working with staff in all departments, reviews and evaluates the base budget and supplemental requests to determine whether they fulfill City Council’s goals and objectives, improve management effectiveness, improve service to our citizens or increase productivity. The proposed budget that the City Manager submits to the City Council includes recommendations for the program of services the City should provide and which can be financed by the City's projected revenue for the budget year.

2.

The proposed 2018/2019 budget was filed August 7, 2018, which was more than 30 days prior to the scheduled adoption of the property tax rate. The proposed budget is available for public inspection. The City Council considers the City Manager's recommended budget in multiple work sessions and public hearings. The media is always represented and the public is welcome at all the budget work sessions. Public hearings are conducted to provide for citizen comments. Additional or supplemental information is available upon request.

3.

The budget for the next fiscal year is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance prior to October 1. Annual budgets are legally adopted for all governmental funds. The budgets for the Capital Project Funds and other special projects are adopted for specific projects rather than on a fiscal year basis. The proprietary funds budgets are not legal appropriations, but instead they are a financial plan for management purposes. The grant budgets are not formally adopted until the City Council approves the granting agency’s contract. Estimates of grant funding are included to present an estimate of all funds available to the City of Amarillo in the budget.

4.

Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level for each legally adopted annual operating budget. The City Manager may transfer appropriation balances from one expenditure account to another within a department or fund. The City Manager may also increase revenue and expenditure budgets by a corresponding amount when unanticipated outside funding is received. This adjustment must have no net effect on a fund’s budget. The City Council must approve revisions that alter total expenditures of a fund. Under the City's budget ordinance, the City Council has authority to make such changes in the budget as it deems warranted.

5.

At the close of each fiscal year, any unencumbered appropriation balance will lapse or revert to the undesignated fund balance. However, the encumbered appropriation balance in the Capital Projects Funds does not lapse at a year-end. At the end of each project, Capital Project budgets lapse. BUDGET POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

Annual budgets are prepared for all funds except trust funds. Trust fund revenues and expenditures are governed by the trust requirements. The City of Amarillo utilizes a decentralized operating and capital budget process in preparing the budget. All departments have an opportunity to participate in the budget process. In conjunction with the preparation of the operating budget, all departments also submit a five-year capital plan of anticipated capital needs. The first year of the capital plan becomes the approved capital budget. 19


CITY OF AMARILLO

In preparing the budget, the City will identify major policy issues and provide for the City Council to annually review and determine the budget policies. Such policies will be incorporated by management in preparing the annual budget and determining the City’s financial policies. The following are those policies and guidelines: 1.

The City will consider the long-term aspirational goals of the Council approved Pillars of Success when prioritizing each department’s mission and budget needs.

2.

The City will annually undergo a detailed analysis of departmental budgets focusing on each department’s mission and operational programs.

3.

The City will consider innovative changes and other methods to offer services to the citizens and to increase efficiencies in its operations and the budget.

4.

The City will annually review its current level of service to the citizens.

5.

The City will maintain a diversified revenue system with a stable source of income.

6.

The City will maintain a property tax rate adequate to produce the revenues for City services included in the City of Amarillo’s General Fund according to best practices.

7.

To the extent economically possible, services that are based on a user-fee concept should make every effort to be self-supported by those fees.

The City will adopt an annual balanced budget in the context of a long-term financial plan and maintain adequate reserve levels.

REVENUE/EXPENDITURE PROJECTIONS All department heads are required to carefully monitor departmental expenditures and revenues throughout the year. The applicable department heads are very familiar with the revenues and expenditures related to their operations and are in the best position to make the revenue/expenditure estimate. All revenue sources are examined annually and individual department heads are responsible for revenue projections on revenue sources under their control. The goal in revenue estimates is that the estimate must be reasonably attainable based on historic data and trends. Department heads receive a three-year history by month and are required to estimate the revenue for the balance of the current year and next year on a month-by-month basis. All revenue estimates are reviewed by the Finance Department for reasonableness and are subject to revision. Department heads are also responsible for expenditure estimates of their departments. Salary information and three years' historical expenditure data are provided to the department head at budget preparation. In estimating departmental expenses, department heads base their estimate on historical data adjusted for trends and possible rate increases. All expenditure projections are reviewed by the Finance Department for mathematical accuracy and by the City Manager for propriety. AVAILABLE FUNDS OR FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR APPROPRIATION Not all of the fund balance is available for appropriation. A portion of fund balance may be in inventories or prepaid expenses. If these assets were expected to remain at about the same level at the end of the year, they would not be available for appropriation. Since the City historically holds investments to maturity, temporary gains or losses from investment activity are excluded from available funds. Accordingly, we make a separate calculation of the available funds for every fund. The calculation includes cash, investments, and other assets which expect to be converted to cash during the next fiscal year. All liabilities that the above calculated assets will be used to satisfy are deducted along with any outstanding encumbrances at year-end to arrive at the funds available for appropriation. For capital projects funds, we also reduce available funds for the estimated remaining expenditure balances of all construction in progress. For each fund we have included a separate calculation of the available funds. Citizen Input to the Budget: In addition to individual citizen input, the City uses various citizen boards as a means of obtaining direct citizen involvement. These citizen boards participate in the budget process of their respective functional area. Before actual budget hearings, the City prepares and files with the City Secretary, a detailed line-item budget as a means of providing our citizens with budgetary information. The proposed budget is also available on the City’s website. The City has multiple budget workshops with the City Council that are open to the public. State law requires the City to publish various tax rates and fund balances in the local 20


CITY OF AMARILLO

newspapers before any public hearings on the budget. If a proposed tax rate is an increase over our effective tax rate (that rate which would produce the same tax levy on the same property), the City Council must have a meeting to discuss the proposed tax rate and have two public hearings on the tax rate. Since our budget and tax rate are formally approved by ordinance, the City Council must have two additional meetings to consider the ordinances on the budget and tax rate. We also make two additional public notices in the local newspaper and include the notices on the City’s website. Moreover, the City Council directly solicits citizen input on the budget and other matters of interest through a series of neighborhood meetings held throughout the City. Many of the citizen’s requests and concerns are incorporated in the budget. BUDGET PRIORITIES AND SHORT-TERM INITIATIVES Service Levels/Demands and Staffing Changes: The Budget addresses the BluePrint Amarillo Council priority of Employee Compensation. The Budget includes dollars to fund year two of the Amarillo Police Officer Meet and Confer Agreement which includes a 2.5% shift differential, 1.0% raises for the Police and Fire Department and average 1% raises for civilian employees, and the continuation of longevity and discretionary retention pay. During 2016/2017, Council approved the implementation of the Pay and Compensation Study which allowed the City to adjust beginning pay for all our pay scales to reflect market rates. The 2017/2018 budget included funding to support the Pay and Compensation Study implemented during the 2016/2017 fiscal year, as well as dollars to address compression between employees created with the implementation of the new pay schedules. The implementation of the Pay and Compensation Study during the 2016/2017 budget was accomplished through the reduction of 21 vacant positions and reductions in other maintenance and operating expenses. The 2018/2019 budget consists of 2,198 permanent and 366 part-time employee positions. Permanent positions have increased by 21 positions over the current year and part-time positions have increased by four. With the significant budget constraints for the 2017/2018 fiscal year the departments that added positions did so only if there was an outside funding source, reduction of budget dollars in other areas, or the transfer of positions between departments. For 2018/2019, the budget includes enhancements to Public Safety with funding for 17 police officers, including six new neighborhood police officer positions, and five firefighters. Animal Management and Welfare is adding two new positions to staff a spay and neuter clinic that is anticipated to be completed in 2019 and one additional position to help with adoptions. Environmental Health is adding two positions to implement the new grease trap permit and inspection program and one additional administrative position. The Photographic Traffic Enforcement Fund is adding a new program coordinator that will be funded by revenues from that fund. Drainage Utility is adding an Assistant Superintendant position, Airport is eliminating an Airport Operations Manager position, and Information Technology is adding a Special Projects Manager. The position for Information Technology will be used to manage implementation of the Tyler Technologies software currently underway.

Total Change in Positions

In total, staffing has increased by 102 positions from 2,462 in 2014/2015 to 2,564 in 2018/2019. Over the past several years, Public Safety has been a priority for the City Council. Of the 58 new positions graphed below, 17 are additional police officer positions with 8 officer positions reallocated to 10 civilian positions in the current year, five are new fire fighter positions, and 5 were increases to the Animal Management and Welfare Department. Below is a graph of total staffing:

Employee Compensation: Employee compensation is always a budgetary issue. The City of Amarillo is a service-based organization and we must recruit and retain dependable employees to accomplish our mission. During 2016/2017, Council approved the implementation of the Pay and Compensation Study which allowed the City to adjust beginning pay for all our pay scales to reflect market rates. The 2017/2018 budget included funding to support the Pay and Compensation Study, as well as dollars to address compression between employees created with the implementation of the new pay schedules. For 2018/2019, compensation changes include: approval of year two of the Amarillo Police Officer Association Meet and Confer Agreement with a change to the shift differential incentive pay for Police; 1.0% pay increase for Fire and Police sworn positions; 1.0% average pay increase for civilian employees as pay-for-performance; based on annual evaluations. Additionally employees were eligible for a 1% lump sum payment. Below is a recap of prior budget year pay increases 2017/2018 2016/2017 2015/2016 2014/2015 2013/2014 public safety 2013/2014 civilians 2012/2013 2011/2012 2010/2011 2009/2010

For 2016/2017, the City identified one-time dollars to fund a 1% pay adjustment for all employees. This adjustment was in the form of a lump sum payment and did not increase the base pay rates. The additional increases in 2013/2014 above the 2012/2013 rate were funded by a 1 cent property tax increase approved by the City Council. In 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, we could only afford a 2% employee pay raise. Moreover, top management was excluded from the 2010/2011 increases. We had to forgo employee raises in the 2009/2010 budget. The only way we could afford raises in the 2010/2011 budget was to revise our TMRS benefit. We dropped the retiree COLA in the 2010/2011 budget, which saved the City about $2.1 million in the 2010/2011 budget and helped fund a 2% pay raise. Through all the lackluster years, we were able to maintain all current incentive pays such as CDL driver pay, welder certification pay, and bilingual pay, giving employees opportunities to earn additional money. With the implementation of the 22


CITY OF AMARILLO

new pay schedule, the City has adjusted the current incentive pays to only include those pays that are over and above the requirement of the positions. The City has also kept the Discretionary Retention Pay (DRP) for civilian employees, which is similar to longevity pay for police officers and firefighters. We have shift differential pay for evenings, nights and weekend shifts. Employees that work on holidays can receive double-time pay. Benefits: The City has a valuable benefit package. Police officers and firefighters start their career with three weeks paid vacation and can earn up to five weeks. Civilian employees earn two weeks of vacation time after one year of service and can earn up to five weeks. Employees will earn additional vacation days for each year of service. Moreover, employees are allowed to use up to three days per year of their accumulated sick leave for personal time off. We also recognize eight holidays per year. Civilian employees also receive 12 sick days per year. Unused sick days can be banked and used in the future. Civilian employees can accumulate up to 60 sick days. Police officers and firefighters receive 15 sick days per year and can bank unused days without limit. All of our full-time employees are covered in very good retirement plan. Firefighters have their own plan and other full-time employees are covered in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). The City had been notified that the annual required contribution to TMRS would be over 23%. Most of the over 800 TMRS cities saw similar increases. TMRS was allowing cities to phase-in the new rates over an eight-year phase-in period. The City’s TMRS rate was scheduled to increase from 17.83% in 2010 to 18.83% in 2011. We estimated that it would cost the City approximately an additional $2.1 million. The City dropped the repeating COLA and the repeating Updated Service Credit in 2011 and the City’s TMRS rate dropped to 14.09%. The repeating COLA was a great benefit for retirees, however, we do not believe dropping the repeating COLA will significantly hurt efforts to attract and retain employees. Amarillo is isolated in terms of competing TMRS cities and attracts most employees from the private sector. Our benefit package is still appealing compared to the private sector. In 2011, the Texas Legislature combined the three TMRS funds into one fund with a resulting decrease in contributions. The City’s 2012 rate would have decreased to less than 10%; however, we kept the rate at 14% in the budget to be able to provide for future enhancements. Our TMRS rate was scheduled to drop again in 2013 to 8.75%. With the decrease in TMRS rate, in 2013 we added five-year vesting and restored the repeating updated service credits, helping active employees. We believe these changes will help attract and retain active employees. These revisions increased the TMRS rate to 12.04% of pay, which left 1.96% of pay to start funding our post-retirement health care benefit in 2013. Our 2014 TMRS rate dropped slightly to 11.57% leaving 2.43% for our post-retirement healthcare benefit. For calendar year 2019 the City’s TMRS rate decreased slightly to 12.18%, however the City continues to fund 2.43% for our post-retirement healthcare benefit The City has historically provided subsidized health insurance to retirees. The City has funded this benefit on a pay-as-you-go basis. The GASB Statement 45 calculation forced cities to cost this benefit, but not fund it. However, there are obvious benefits to prefunding of the benefit. Any benefit that is prefunded is less costly since earnings can be used to offset the cost of the benefit. With the funded option, a city can use a higher discount rate in calculating the benefit, which reflects the decreased cost of funding the benefit. Also, future generations of taxpayers are not burdened with the cost of prior service. The 1.96% contribution to the trust in 2013 and the 2.43% contribution to the trust in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will not totally fund the Annual Required Contribution (ARC), but it’s a good start. Our part-time employees contribute to our deferred compensation plan in lieu of social security. Full-time employees also have the option of contributing to our deferred compensation plan in addition to their retirement. All full-time employees, except police and fire, are covered by social security. Full-time employees are covered by our health plan. Our health insurance plan is one of the better plans offered in our community. Our $1,500 deductible is one of the lower deductibles in our area. Moreover, the City has always strived to keep the plan affordable to the employees. This is the sixth year of our employee-only clinic: CityCare. Any person on our health plan can go to the CityCare without a copay. While the $1,500 deductible is low for a hospital stay, it was a barrier to primary care for many of our lower paid employees. The clinic has been good for both the employees and the City. CityCare gave all employees, and their dependants on our health plan, access to primary care. The cost of CityCare has been less than the reasonable and customary cost of the services provided. Most importantly, it has helped improve the quality of life for many of our employees and has boosted morale. CityCare has also been an important employee recruiting and retention tool, especially of our lower paid employees. We started our safety footwear program the same year as our clinic. The City has large self-insurance retention ($1.5 million) on Worker’s Compensation claims and our slip-and-fall injuries were significant in number. The safety footwear program ensures our field employees have the proper footwear for their job. Slip-and-fall injuries have decreased and we feel that the decrease is directly attributable to our safety footwear program. The cost of the safety footwear program is funded by the City’s Self-Insurance Fund and is estimated to cost approximately $103,500 in 2018/2019. 23


CITY OF AMARILLO

Insurance and Self Insurance: The City is self-insured for many lines of coverage and usually has large self-insurance retentions and high deductibles when insurance is purchased. Health insurance, including dental, is in one fund (the Employee Insurance Fund) and other exposures are accounted for in a separate fund (the Risk Management Fund). The strategy is to assume some more risk, but also manage costs. While we do have large deductibles and self insurance retentions, we do have sufficient coverage to protect the organization. Thru 2015 the City continued to see increasing claims and cost in the Employee Insurance Fund with the claims increasing by 10% for the last four years. The Employee Insurance Fund ended the 2014/2015 budget year with about $31,060 in reserve. This amount is well below the targeted reserve balance of $4.5 million. In addition to the premiums assessed to City departments, employees, and retirees; the City transferred additional funds into the Health Insurance Fund during the 2014/2015 year. During 2015 the City reviewed the financial stability of the Fund. Since 2013 the City has made significant changes to control costs, deductible increases, out of pocket increases, dependent eligibility audits and premium increases. Historically, the City has very favorable contracts in place for Amarillo hospital services, physician’s services, lab, and pharmacy. Beginning in July 2014, the City entered into a wrap network that has lower negotiated rates for healthcare services outside of the City’s local network. During July 2015 the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the third party administration of the medical, dental and flex plans. The City anticipates that a national carrier will have more favorable discounts with network providers. Effective January 1, 2016 Aetna Life Insurance Company began provide the plan administration for the medical and dental programs. For the 2015/2016 the city saw $5.1 million net reduction in health plan costs driven by a reduction in claims from $24.2 million to 18.0 million, we believe directly related to the Aetna contract. For the 2017/2018 fiscal year we anticipate claims at $19.2 million. We have included a five percent employer health plan increase and anticipate ending the 2018/2019 fiscal year with $5.6 million in reserves, in excess of our $5.0 million target. Overall, the City is very pleased in the cost saving measures experienced by the Health Plan during the last three years. We believe that our employee-only clinic, CityCare, has helped to stable our healthcare costs. Before CityCare, some of our employees’ only access to primary care was the hospital emergency room. A side benefit of our Clinic is that the Clinic is the largest writer of prescription drugs in our plan and predominately prescribes the lower-cost generic and formulary drugs, which helps contain costs. The Clinic is funded out of our Employee Health Insurance Fund. In keeping with our general philosophy of an incremental approach to rate increases, we increased the employer contribution by 15% in October 2014 and the employee/retiree portion by 15% in January 2015. Deductibles and out-of-pocket amounts remained the same for fiscal year 2015/2016, and increased to $1,500 for the 2017 year. On January 1, 2015, all Medicare eligible retirees (age 65 and above) were moved off of the City’s health insurance plan and onto a Medicare supplement plan. The City funds a monthly stipend to help offset the cost to these retirees. For 2018, we plan to increase the employer contribution by 5%, and there are no changes to employee premiums or deductibles. The City has specific stop loss coverage with a $750,000 per year deductible. The deductible resets every year. Thus, if a claim crossed a year, two deductibles would apply. Therefore, the specific stop loss would only protect the plan for catastrophic claims. We do not have aggregate stop loss coverage, which would attach after total claims reached a certain point. For the vast majority of claims, the City of Amarillo’s Health Insurance program is essentially self-insured. Our Dental Plan is entirely employee funded. Like the Health plan these rates increased by 15% for the 2015/2016 fiscal year and again by 10% in 2017. However, premiums for 2017/2018 remained flat. For 2018/2019, premiums also remained flat. As with other health related costs, we believe that the long-term trend is related to higher costs. We have not had to make a transfer from the General Fund to the Risk Management Fund since 2005/2006. In our revised estimate of the Risk Management Fund, we are estimating revenues of $6.4 million and expenditures of $5.9 million. For the 2018/2019 budget, we are estimating revenues of $7.2 million and $6.1 million in expenditures. Therefore, we should end 2018/2019 with approximately $4.5 million in reserves. The largest line of coverage in the Risk Management Fund is workers compensation. We budgeted $2.5 million for workers comp claims in 2018/2019 plus another $500,000 for insurance, protective clothing, safety and other costs. The comp rates multiplied by the comp payroll should produce revenues of about $2.7 million in 2018/2019. We have a self insurance retention of $1.5 million per worker’s comp occurrence with full statutory limits. Therefore, we should not receive a comp claim back once they have been transferred to the insurance carrier. During 2017 the City transferred the administration of the workers comp claims to TPA however we will remain self insured for funding purposes. Our insurance coverage, along with our healthy reserves, should be sufficient for comp claims. General Liability, Auto Liability, and Auto Physical Damage combined are budgeted at $1.4 million in 2018/2019. We have purchased police officer liability insurance and cyber liability insurance, which had not been purchased in the past. While we have tort limits in State Court, we do not have any protection in Federal Court. The most likely and most significant exposure in Federal Court is police officer liability. Cyber liability was about $35,000 and police liability was about $185,000. Although we do not believe we have much exposure to cyber liability, we were able to obtain very good coverage at a reasonable premium. The police liability coverage protects both the City and the officer. Most of the insurance purchased is for property insurance. We purchase 24

property insurance with a $250,000 per occurrence deductible. During the 2018 renewal, the City’s deductible for wind and/or hail damage was adjusted to 5% of the value of the property, subject to a minimum $50,000 deductible per location. The City is increasing the reserve requirement in the risk management fund to make sure the City has funding in the event of significant wind damage to one of the City facilities. Street Maintenance: Street maintenance came to the forefront as a major budgetary issue in 2011/2012. In fact, most of the tax increase in the 2011/2012 budget was for streets. The Council became increasingly concerned that deferred maintenance of our streets would result in spending significantly more for street repairs in the future. This increased funding was maintained in the Street Department budgets for the subsequent years. During November 2016 the City voters approved $89 million in bond funding to address street infrastructure and improvements. Capital Improvement Program: The Capital Improvement Program is one of the most important parts of our budget and our budgetary process. The City has historically funded capital projects on a pay-as-you-go basis, with budgetary surpluses being earmarked to fund our Capital Improvement Program. With the pay-as-you-go philosophy of capital improvements, it is very important to identify and anticipate future capital needs so that they can be provided for in an orderly fashion. In conjunction with our budget, we update our five-year capital program. The first year of the five-year program becomes our capital budget. As more fully discussed in our Capital Improvement section, our Capital Improvement Program addresses various needs in our community. Like most cities, we have an aging infrastructure and many of the projects in the Capital Projects Budgets are much needed replacements. In the short-term, we should see some reduced maintenance costs, as they relate to the infrastructure that was replaced. However, with the continued deterioration of our aging system, there will not be any staff or budget reductions from the replacement of the aging infrastructure. Any savings in staff time or materials will be utilized on other aging infrastructure. Last year the Council has called for a $340 million general obligation bond election on November 8, 2016. The bond election will include seven propositions: Streets, Public Safety, Municipal Facilities, Neighborhood Parks, Civic Center improvements, Fleet Services, and Athletic Facilities. This is the first general obligation election since 2001 when the voters approved expansion to the City library facilities. Voters approved Propositions 1 and 2 for Streets and Public Safety with $109 million. The ability to issue voter approved debt has allowed the City to begin addressing aging infrastructure and will provide budgetary relief to future budgets. The City will incorporate the infrastructure projects and corresponding bond issues over a five year period. General Capital – The General Construction includes $3.9 million in projects, including $2.0 million to replace the City’s computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. This system is used by the Amarillo Emergency Communications Center to dispatch 911 calls. There is also $0.5 million budgeted to finalize the NexGen Radio System project, $0.3 million to address maintenance and improvements of City facilities; $0.3 million to review and rewrite the zoning ordinances, $0.4 to replace Transit department buses, and $0.1 million to fund equipment and improvement needs for city parks. With voter approval of $109.5 million to address street and public safety infrastructure, the City will issue these bonds over a five year period with the first issue in April 2017 of $21.2 million and the second issue in July 2018 of $22.1 million. The City anticipates a third issue of approximately $19.9 million in 2019. This third issue will allow the City to address $7.9 million in street infrastructure projects, $10.0 million for new fire stations, and $0.3 million for the Animal Management and Welfare department to expand its drive through barn and dog runs. Water and Sewer Capital - The Utilities Fund includes $34.4 million in capital projects, including $29.1 million in bond funding. The City Council has approved a 3% rate increase to fund the capital program. This is the third of five anticipated rate increases, with an estimated 15% rate increase spread equitable over five years to fund just over $140 million in improvements for the same time period. Amarillo now has nearly 1,176 miles of water mains in the City and an additional 998 miles of wastewater mains. The City’s water and wastewater systems are very robust and have excellent capacity. Efforts will continue to focus on addressing aging infrastructure and ensuring future capacity. Airport Capital – The Airport anticipates FAA grant dollars, $6.1 million to address infrastructure needs for total capital projects of $7.7 million. Projects include $5.1 million to reconstruct Taxiway C, $1.6 million for the design and replacement of Taxiway J, and $0.4 million for phase III of enhancement to the parking lot and parking garage. Drainage Utility Capital - The $11.7 million in drainage improvement projects, including $10.0 million in bond funds, will fund many targeted drainage improvements along with maintenance and extensions to the storm sewer drainage system. Other Capital - Projects include $1.1 million to fund the NextGen Radio System project and other improvements at the landfill, $0.9 million in civic center facility improvements, and $7.8 million for routine replacements of rolling stock and computer equipment. 25


CITY OF AMARILLO

COMMENTARY ON MAJOR REVENUE CATEGORIES Property Taxes: The maximum tax rate provided by City Charter is $1.80, of which $1.30 may be levied for general purposes; the remaining $.50 may be used only for waterworks purposes. The Potter-Randall Appraisal District assesses taxes. The City of Amarillo has contracted with both Potter and Randall Counties to collect taxes. Taxes are due October 1, and become delinquent February 1. Delinquent taxes are subject from 12% to 18% per annum interest plus a penalty of 5% to 10% and attorney fees in accordance with statutes. The property tax implementation process begins with the calculation of and publication of tax rates. A taxing entity in Texas must calculate their effective rate, debt service rate, and rollback rates. The effective rate is that rate which generates the same tax levy on the same property as the year before. Generally, if property values rise, the effective rate will decrease; however, there are other factors affecting the effective rate calculation. Changes in the tax status of property, tax refunds, and changes in exemption will also affect the effective rate. The rollback rate is the maximum rate a governing body can levy without giving the citizens an opportunity to petition the governing body for a roll back election. The rollback rate is usually an increase of over 8% the effective rate, but other factors can also affect the rollback rate such as the debt service rate and the sales tax adjustment. If a roll back election is successful, the taxing entity would be required to reduce the tax rate back to the rollback rate and refund the difference to taxpayers that have already paid their taxes. Under current state law, if the governing body is considering any increase in taxes over the effective rate, they must have a discussion on the proposed tax rate in a public meeting. The tax rate being considered is discussed at the meeting and the vote of each member of the governing body is recorded and published conspicuously in a quarter page ad in the local newspaper. The proposed tax rate discussed at the meeting will then be the maximum rate the governing body can consider. The governing body could lower the rate, but not raise the rate after the meeting to discuss the tax rate. Next, the governing body is required to conduct two public hearings on the proposed tax rate to hear from concerned citizens. Our City Charter requires the proposed tax rate be approved by ordinance, which requires two readings before the governing body. In addition to the meeting to discuss the tax rate and the two public hearings on the tax rate, the public is also welcomed to comment on the tax rate at the two readings of the tax ordinance. Lastly, after passage of the tax increase ordinance on the second reading, the governing body must ratify the action once again. Thus, beginning with the meeting to discuss the tax rate, our citizens have five opportunities to express their thoughts on the proposed tax rate in a public forum. If the taxing entity fails to st get the proposed tax rate approved before October 1 , the rate automatically set for the taxing entity is the lesser of the effective rate or the current tax rate. In addition to being a significant revenue source, property taxes have been our most stable revenue source. Property tax has a very high collection rate on the current role. Over the last ten years, collection rates have varied from 97% to 99% of the current role. Combining the delinquent collections with the current collections, total collections approach 100%. Property taxes are also received early in the fiscal year; most of property tax is collected by the end of December. Property taxes increased in the 2008/2009 year due to the issuance of Certificates of Obligation. Before the 2007 Certificates of Obligations, the City only had $5.2 million in outstanding General Obligation debt from a 2001 issue. In 2013/2014, the debt service portion of the tax rate is $0.02594. For three years, the City held the tax rate to $0.31009. In 2011/2012, the rate was increased to $0.32009. In 2012/2013, the City kept the same at tax rate of $0.32009. For 2013/2014, the City Council approved a 2 cent property tax increase bringing the rate up to $0.34009. In 2014/2015, the rate was increased to $0.34509. Compared to the effective tax of $0.33207, the $0.34509 tax rate is a 3.92% increase over the effective rate. In 2015/2016, the rate was increased to $0.35072. Compared to the effective tax of $0.33562, the $0.35072 tax rate is a 4.5% increase over the effective rate. This increase will help fund additional police officers. For the 2016/2017 fiscal year the City tax rate remained the same as the prior year at $0.35072 which is a 3.24% over the effective tax rate. For the 2017/2018 the tax rate increased to $0.36364 with the increase in the rate related to $21.2 million General Obligation Bonds issued in April 2017. This bond issue was the first of five annual bond issues related to November 2016 bond elections where the voters approved $109 million in projects to address streets and public safety. For the 2018/2019 the tax rate increased to $0.36838 with the increase in the rate related to $22.1 million General Obligation Bonds issued in July 2018. Our goal is to stage increases over time to be less burdensome on our citizens. However, it should be noted that Amarillo residents still enjoy one of the lowest tax rates as compared to major cities in Texas. Our citizens voted in a tax freeze for taxpayers age 65 and above and disabled taxpayers. The first year of the freeze was 2007, which set a cap on the amount of taxes the individual will pay for the rest of their life so long as they remain in their home. The freeze also transfers to a surviving spouse for the rest of their life so long as they remain in the same home and are at least age 55 at the time of the death of their spouse. For 2018/2019, the taxable property value subject to tax levy is $10.8 billion. The amount subject to levy excludes the property value of homes that have frozen taxes since they are not subject to levy. Our total taxable value is $13.1 billion; which is up over last year’s value of $12.8 billion. Our tax rate of $0.36838 per $100 valuation will produce a total levy of $46.1 million in 2018/2019 including the frozen taxes of $6.1 million. We should actually collect $45.4 million with a collection rate of 98.5%. Also, based on a tax rate $0.36838, we will transfer taxes of $278,729 to the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Number 1 and $29,407 to TIRZ #2. 26


CITY OF AMARILLO

Sales Taxes: On November 7, 1989, the Amarillo voters approved a 1% increase in the local sales tax. One-half percent (1/2%) of the increase took effect April 1, 1990. The 1/2% increase from April 1, 1990 is to promote economic development in the City of Amarillo. The Amarillo Economic Development Corporation was created to manage the 1/2% sales tax for economic development. The 1/2% sales tax for economic development is not included in the City of Amarillo's budget. The other 1/2% increase in the sales tax was approved by the voters to reduce property taxes in the City of Amarillo. The 1/2% sales tax increase to reduce property taxes was effective October 1, 1990. The 1/2% increase in sales tax used to offset property taxes is reflected in the City's 1990/1991 Budget. Currently, the total sales tax rate in Amarillo is 8.25%, which is the maximum sales tax rate allowed in the State of Texas. The State of Texas' portion of the sales tax is 6.25%, and the local portion of the sales tax is 2%. Sales tax is the City’s most significant single revenue source and provides 32% of the General Fund’s revenue. Unfortunately, the sales tax is not as predictable as the property tax. Sales tax is a more volatile revenue source. Because of the size of sales tax revenue, small percentage changes in collection can make significant changes in overall General Fund total revenue. While the sales tax has been a relatively consistent increasing revenue source for the City, it slipped with the recession during 2008 and 2009. Since that time sales tax revenue seems to have stabilized. The 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 years were record years in terms of sales tax receipts while 2016/2017 experienced a slight dip. We estimate that we will end 2017/2018 with collections of $57.0 million, or approximately 2.5% above 2016/2017. For 2018/2019, we are estimating an increase of 2.4% over the current year to $58.4 million. A graph of the sales tax collections follows below.

Gross Receipts Business Taxes: Gross receipts business taxes are franchise fees imposed on the various public utilities and the hotel occupancy tax revenue. The revenues are based on a three-year average of receipts adjusted for current trends. The current franchise taxes on the gas, electricity and cable television are 5% of gross receipts. The franchise tax on cable television does not include installation charges. We receive a per-line fee on land line telephone service. The hotel occupancy tax is a 7% room tax on nonpermanent residents with an additional 2% tax for the Amarillo-Potter Events Venue District. The Amarillo-Potter Events Venue District portion of the Hotel Tax Revenue is not reflected in the City of Amarillo’s budget. Overall, 2018/19 gross business taxes of $26.0 million are estimated to increase compared to the revised 2017/2018 projection of $25.3 million; an increase of 3%. During the 2016/2017 year the City saw increasing electric utility franchise tax from $7.7 million to $8.5 million. We are anticipating revenue of $9.5 million for 2017/2018 and $9.7 million for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. We are expecting the franchise tax on the natural gas utility to be $3.0 million for 2018/2019 compared to a revised 2017/2018 estimate of $2.9 million. A payment in lieu of franchise tax is imposed on the City’s Water and Sewer Utility. The payment in lieu of franchise tax is a monthly per account charge. The $3.05 monthly water payment in lieu of franchise fee will generate about $2.7 million in 2018/2019; the $1.34 monthly sewer payment in lieu of franchise fee will generate about $1.1 million in 2018/2019. We have decreased our 2017/2018 budget estimate for the telephone utility franchise tax slightly to $0.9 million and are anticipating the same level for 2018/2019. Overall, we have been experiencing decreases in the number of phone lines as customers switch to cell phones. While Cable TV appears pretty stable, we are also concerned with the Cable TV franchise tax as satellite TV gains in popularity. Estimated receipts for 2017/2018 franchise tax on the Cable TV have been revised to $2.0 million, down from the original budget. For the 2018/2019 year we have forecasted revenue flat with the revised 2017/2018 estimate at $2.0 million.

CITY OF AMARILLO

In 1998, the City’s telephone franchise tax revenue calculation was changed. The assessment method changed from a gross receipts charge to a per line charge for business and residential lines. The net result of the change was a decrease in expected revenues of about $462,000. This decrease is permanent and future telephone franchise tax revenue will mainly increase with additional lines. Unfortunately, the line count has dropped with the shift towards and the growth in wireless communications. The electricity franchise tax would also be handled in a similar manner beginning in 2002; however, the Texas Panhandle was exempted from the change for five years. The exemption was extended due to the lack of competing electric companies in the Panhandle. However, our citizens enjoy better rates in the regulated environment than most of the State in the deregulated environment. We expect that eventually, the electricity franchise tax revenue will be converted to a per kilowatt-hour charge. While the full effect of the change in the electric franchise tax has not been determined, the resulting franchise tax receipts should not change significantly. Consistent with the above fixed unit franchise tax, the City has also modified its franchise fee on the Water and Sewer Utility. Beginning in the 2001/2002 fiscal year, the City changed to a per account charge. The 2018/2019 franchise tax will be $3.05 for each water account and $1.34 for each sewer account. The change in franchise tax for water and sewer will result in a more predictable revenue stream for the General Fund and a more predictable expense estimate for the Water and Sewer Utility. The water and sewer franchise tax is no longer weather related; however, two of the more significant franchise taxes are still weather related. Both the electric franchise tax and the gas franchise tax is weather dependent and also vary with the fuel costs. Hotel tax revenue has been steadily increasing and more hotel properties have been added to our city. Actual 2012/2013 revenue was up to $5.7 million, $5.9 million for 2013/2014, $6.3 million for 2014/2015, and $6.8 million for 2015/2016. We experienced a slight dip in hotel tax revenue for 2016/2017 at $6.6 million. We have revised our 2017/2018 revenue estimate up slightly to $6.9 million and expect 2018/2019 revenue to be $7.1 million. Hotel occupancy taxes can vary a great deal from year to year and it is the City’s policy that revenue estimates be attainable. The Hotel Occupancy Tax is a significant single revenue source, but its use is limited. Hotel Occupancy Tax receipts can only be spent on items related to convention and tourist-type activities. The Hotel Tax funds are used for our contract with the Chamber of Commerce for promoting convention and tourism in the city. The Hotel tax also offsets the operating loss at our Civic Center complex and provides funds for capital at the complex. The City has an incentive agreement with the developer of the Convention Center Hotel to rebate local hotel occupancy taxes; the City anticipates $506,559 in rebates for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. The City is working toward renovation of its downtown and part of the plan will involve using a portion of the hotel tax to support some bonds. It is anticipated that annually, it will take about $2.5 million of the hotel tax for a new parking garage and multipurpose event venue. Our current estimates are that the City still should be able to cover the operating loss at the Civic Center Complex, but the revenue source would have to grow to provide additional capital. With a reasonable growth rate, the hotel tax would also support convention and tourism activities at or near their current levels.

Gross Receipt Business Taxes Hotel 27% Electric 37%

Cable 7% Telelephone 4% Sewer 4%

Gas 11%

Water 10%

Business and Non-Business Licenses and Permits: Most of the revenues recorded in the business and non-business licenses and permits relate to the construction industry and food and beverage industry. We experienced a record breaking year in 2012/2013 in construction due to a hail storm that damaged thousands of roofs in the City. We anticipate the increase in construction will continue to drop back down to a normal range in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 and therefore decreased building permit revenues 11% for the current year. The electrical, plumbing and gas, and heating and air permits are not significant revenue sources in total. Food handling and daycare permits

28


CITY OF AMARILLO

are estimated to increase 16% for 2018/2019. Most of the food and beverage related permits are expected to be flat except for a couple of minor rate increases. These are not significant revenue sources either. Governmental Revenues: Government revenues are a significant revenue source to the City. Our governmental revenues include grants and cost sharing activities with other governmental entities. For the General Fund, the most significant governmental revenue is federal and state assistance for our Transit Department. State funding is expected to be at $513,705. Federal transit assistance is expected to increase to $3,237,515. Under our current cost sharing arrangement, we continue to receive about 80% of those funds through our operating assistance grant. In the past, the transit system was accounted for in an enterprise fund. After further review, the transit system was merged into the General Fund. The transit system did not truly belong in an enterprise fund; the transit system was not self-supporting and it is the City’s policy to only have the minimum number of funds necessary to account for the City’s financial activities. The school district will be using a total of 13 officers in the School Liaison Program. With this program, the school pays the officers’ salary during the school year and the City pays the salaries during the summer. The School District’s share of the program is expected to be $941,411 in 2018/2019. Most of the Public Health Department is grant funded. The Amarillo Hospital District (AHD) provides the local portion of the Public Health funding. Next year, we do not expect any reimbursement from the Hospital District. The Hospital District will instead be providing intergovernmental transfers as a match for the Public Health Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments (DSRIP) program. We anticipate these dollars will fund both the DSRIP program and the local portion of Public Health costs. For 2016/2017 Public Health received $5.4 million and for the 2017/2018 fiscal year, Public Health anticipates DSRIP funding of $3.1 million. For the 2018/2019 fiscal year, Public Health anticipates DSRIP funding to remain flat at $3.1 million. These dollars are directly related to the expected deliverables of the DSRIP program, the 2016/2017 year included additional dollars associated with the multi year program. This revenue will be used to fund future year program costs. The City receives significant grant funding for airport improvements. In the 2017/2018 year, the airport anticipates receiving $7.6 million in federal funds for airport capital projects and 2018/2019 the airport anticipates a slight decrease in federal fund to $6.4 million which will allow the airport to address infrastructure needs. These funds will be used for improvements at the airport. Most of our governmental revenues are grant funds contained in the Special Revenue Funds. The grant funding is for a variety of different programs and activities including Housing, Community Development, Public Health, and special police initiatives. Our most significant grants are from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants include our Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and various Housing programs. Overall, grant revenues recorded in the Special Revenue Funds are anticipated to decrease slightly from $25.3 million in 2017/2018 to $25.2 million in 2018/2019. We are anticipating an increase in funding levels for Community Development Block Grant from $1.4 million to $1.6 million. We anticipate funding levels for Housing Assistance and Shelter Plus Care will remain flat at $10.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Law enforcement grants are expected to increase from $260,812 in 2017/2018 to $318,700 in 2018/2019. Our U.S. Department of Agriculture grants remained stable. Our Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) nutrition grant includes a slight increase from $2.2 million in 2017/2018 to $2.5 million in 2018/2019. Urban transportation planning remained flat at $0.4 million for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. While not a significant portion of the Special Revenue Fund budget, we currently have eight Public Improvement Districts with a combined 2018/2019 budget of $1,640,456. These districts were created to provide special landscaping amenities to the residents of these subdivisions. PID revenue is increasing for next year due to new plats brought on during the current year. The assessments fund the operation and maintenance of the PIDs along with any related debt service. The City has installed traffic cameras at various new intersections this year and we expect revenue for 2018/2019 to be $0.9 million, a decrease from the revised 2017/2018 estimate of $1.4 million. After recognizing all costs, the City’s net portion of this revenue will be used for traffic signal improvements. The Court Security Fund was created in 2003/2004 to pay for the Municipal Court bailiffs; a three-dollar fee, which is added to offenses, funds these positions. The fee should produce some surplus over the cost of bailiffs, which will be used for security improvements at the Court. The Court Technology Fund collects a four-dollar fee on offenses and is used to fund technology improvements at the Court. These revenues are estimated to be flat for 2018/2019. The Police Department’s Seized Property Fund is being used for the operations portion of our local narcotics task force. The salaries and officers are included in the Police Department budget in the General Fund; the other operating costs are funded from seized property. Seized funds are received from the courts and are difficult to estimate. A graph of the budgeted governmental revenues included in the Special Revenue Funds follows. 29

Public Safety and Health: We are anticipating a slight increase in Public Safety and Health revenue; revenue is expected to increase from $2.8 million in 2017/2018 to $3.0 million in 2018/2019. The reimbursement from the Airport to the General Fund for fire protection, which is the largest single revenue source in this category and makes up over half the revenue, will increase by approximately $55,000 in 2018/2019. The reimbursement is calculated from our Cost Allocation Plan. Warrant fees are expected to decrease slightly from $0.6 million in 2017/2018 to $0.5 million in 2018/2019. Warrant production has been one of the priorities of our Municipal Court and Police Department. In 2003/2004, we outsourced warrant collection. A 30% collection fee is added to the cost of the warrant and paid by the defendant, which covers the cost of collection. During 2014/2015 the City moved the warrant collection in house, warrant collections have remained very strong and the cost to the defendants is reduced as there is no associated 30% collection fee. The Vital Statistics function (maintenance of birth and death records) is the third largest revenue source in the Public Safety and Health category. Our revised current year estimate is $240,000 and we are expecting Vital Statistics revenues in 2018/2019 to increase slightly to $250,000. The Vital Statistics revenue is one of our best revenue sources because of the low cost associated with collecting this revenue. Warrant fees are very labor intensive to process and collect. Sanitation: The sanitation revenues represent user charges for collection and disposal of solid waste. Sanitation revenues also provide for the budgetary transfer to our Solid Waste Improvement Fund to provide for ongoing capital costs at the city landfill. Over the next five years, these annual landfill improvements are expected to average close to $1.0 million. In 2006/2007, we budgeted $8.0 million to begin opening a new cell at our landfill and making improvements in our transfer station. In 2007/2008, another $2.5 million was budgeted for the liner at the new cell. With the 2016/2017 $5.5 million gas collection and control system project; the City’s ability to support this level of capital expenditure will necessitate larger transfers in the future. Sanitation charges are billed along with the water and sewer charges to residential and commercial customers. Residential customers receive twice-a-week service in the winter and three times per week service in the summer. Service varies with commercial accounts and can be as much as six pick-ups per week. Landfill charges are collected at the landfill or are separately billed. Sanitation revenues decreased from 2014/2015 to 2015/2016 due to landfill revenues going back to a normal level after the 2013 hail storm. Since monthly billing is fixed, the revenue is very predictable. The graph that follows shows the trend of sanitation collections.

Culture and Recreation: The culture and recreation revenue category consists of revenues from City-sponsored activities. Civic Center charges and various golf course revenues are the major sources of revenue in this category. The City owns and operates a convention center complex, which includes the Civic Center and the Globe News Center, as well as two 36-hole golf courses. The balance of this culture and recreation category is made up of participant fees and library late charges. In total, we expect an increase in the culture and recreation category. Total culture and recreation revenue for 2018/2019 is projected to increase to $7.3 million compared to a revised revenue estimate of $7.0 million for 2017/2018. Most of the increase is in golf course related fees $160,000. A graph of culture and recreation revenue follows.

The combined golf fees make up the largest portion of culture and recreation revenue. In 2017/2018, the City focused on reducing the General Fund subsidy to the golf course program. The revised Golf revenue estimate for 2017/2018 is expected to increase over the original budget, directly related to fee increases. Additionally, we expect golf revenue 2018/2019 to increase slightly over the revised 2017/2018 estimate. In general, golf revenue is always difficult to estimate because it is so weather dependent.

Civic Center revenue is the next largest revenue source in culture and recreation revenue. The Civic Center complex revenue is comprised of revenues from the Globe News Center for the Performing Arts, Auditorium, Coliseum and exhibit area rentals at the Civic Center, commissions on novelties and concessions, box office charges and advertising revenue. Civic Center revenue is expected to remain flat at $2.1 million for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. Rental rates were increased by 20% in both 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. The purpose of these increases was to free up hotel tax to be used for a proposed ball park, which will also host other events. A graph of Civic Center revenue follows.

Fines and Forfeitures: Fines and forfeitures are estimated to remain flat for next year. Most of the fines and forfeitures are related to traffic violations with the major revenue source being traffic fines. We intend to continue aggressively pursuing monies due the court. We have an internal collection program. In 2003/2004, we added $3 to each ticket for the Court Security Fund; this fee should generate about $107,300 next year. The Court Security Fund will pay for the bailiffs at the court. In addition to the $3 Court Security Fund, we added $4 on each ticket for the Court Technology Fund. The Court purchased and installed new court software in 2009/2010. The Court Technology Fund paid for the upgrade and the ongoing maintenance. The Court Technology Fund generates about $142,600 from the $4 fee on each ticket. Both the Security Fund and Court Technology Fund are accounted for in the Special Revenue Funds.

Forfeited discounts are the next largest single revenue source in the Fines and Forfeitures category. Water, sewer, sanitation, and drainage charges are billed net of a discount. This discount is forfeited if not paid within ten days. The purpose of the discount is to encourage prompt payment of the bill and reduce bad debt losses. For 2018/2019, we are anticipating $1,723,700 in forfeited discounts, compared to $1,745,805 in 2017/2018. There can be significant variations in forfeited discounts. In keeping with our policy that all revenue estimates be realistically attainable, we have budgeted a conservative figure for forfeited discounts. A graph of forfeited discounts revenue follows.

Interest Earnings: In the past, interest earnings were a significant revenue source to all funds. In 2016/2017, $1,737,504 was generated in investment income. The City portfolio has a short-weighted average maturity and is dependent on short-term interest rates and short-term rates have been very low but are starting to slowly increase. Thus, interest earnings are being to see an increase. In investing City funds, our objectives are to preserve capital, to provide liquidity, and maximize return within the constraints of capital preservation and liquidity. Short-term rates have been at historic lows but we anticipate them to continue the slow rise over the next year. We are anticipating interest income of $3,358,718 in 2018/2019, compared to our revised estimate of $3,249,744 in 2017/2018. The above-mentioned anticipated increase in investment income can be seen in the graph below.

General Fund Administrative Charges, Miscellaneous and Other Revenue: General Fund administrative charges consist mainly of charges to internal operations like water, sewer, airport, drainage, and grants, but also include charges for the administration of our weed enforcement program and collection fees for state court costs. The most significant revenue items in the administrative charges are the revenues derived from the City’s Indirect Cost Allocation Plan. The administrative charge to Water and Sewer, Airport, and Drainage are derived from the Indirect Cost Plan. The actual indirect cost reimbursement to the General Fund represents the various grant portion of General Fund overhead. Airport administrative charges will increase to $170,074 in 2018/2019 compared to $161,659 in 2017/2018. Water and Sewer administrative fees increased from $1,447,018 in 2017/2018 to $1,457,898 in 2018/2019. Indirect costs charged to City activities and grants will increase from $1,786,220 in 2017/2018 to $1,809,590 in 2018/2019. As a general rule, indirect cost changes are exacerbated by annual carryover adjustments. If an over or under recovery occurs, the indirect cost is adjusted to the new calculated cost and the over or under recovery is also applied. Applying the carryover adjustment results in full cost recovery, but it can also cause large variations in recoveries on an annual basis. The payment in lieu of property tax imposed on the Water and Sewer Utility is a significant revenue source in this category. The payment in lieu of property tax is increasing due to the increase in the plant and equipment in our Water and Sewer Fund; the payment in lieu of property tax will increase to $4,047,438 next year. The Event District has agreed to pay the City a management fee for the operation of the Venue District addition to the Civic Center. The Event District operating revenue is budgeted at $398,004 for 2018/2019, which is the same as 2017/2018. Operating Transfers: An equity transfer involves the closing of a fund and the transfer of the closed fund’s entire fund balance to another fund. Operating transfers involve the transfer of assets from one fund to another in the normal course of the fund’s operations. Historically, the interest income from Capital Project Funds that relied on the General Fund for support was recorded as General Fund Income. The City adopted GASB Statement 31, which requires investment income to be reported in the fund that held the investment. Utility Sales and Service: Utility sales and service is a major revenue source to the City of Amarillo. Water meter sales and sewer charges make up 94% of total water and sewer revenue. Water and sewer revenues are very difficult to predict because they are so weather dependent. With the exception of the minimum or base charge, water sales are completely based on consumption. Moreover, we utilize an increasing block structure to encourage water conservation. The increasing block structure creates additional consumption-based revenue, which makes it more difficult to estimate. Sewer revenue is somewhat more predictable since the residential charge is set for the year based on the winter water consumption. However, sewer commercial accounts are based on water consumption each month, usually with a separate meter for irrigation. When estimating water and sewer charges, we use a normal year of about 16 billion gallons in sales as opposed to trying to anticipate high or low consumption. Water and sewer charges are billed monthly and are very collectable. However, since the revenue is consumption-driven, it can vary significantly. Our water and sewer system has a great deal of needs. We are in the process of upgrading our aging water and sewer infrastructure. Moreover, we added a new water supply to the City in 2010/2011; the first new supply in about 50 years. Consistent with our incremental approach, we have been raising water and sewer rates over the last several years. In 2001/2002 and 2003/2004, Water and Sewer Utility revenue had a 5% increase in water and sewer rates. Our 2006/2007 rate 34


CITY OF AMARILLO

increase was expected to generate about an 8% increase in water and sewer revenue. The 2006/2007 rate increase had two components. First, all water and sewer rates would increase by 6% effective October 1, 2006. Also effective October 1, 2006, we added a third tier to our residential rate structure and commercial irrigation meters were put under the residential rate structure to encourage conservation. However, both components of the rate increase were very volume dependent. The 2007/2008 rate structure was designed to generate a 10% water and sewer increase in a normal year. The third tier rate (added in 2006/2007) had been effective in deterring large consumption and was left alone. However, a new rate structure was put in place to be less sensitive to changes in volumes. Like 2007/2008, the 2008/2009 rate structure was also designed to generate a 10% water and sewer increase in a normal year and encourage conservation. In fact, many residential customers did not even see an increase. For 2008/2009, we also redesigned our sewer structure. The new sewer minimum charge was raised but included the treatment of the first 3 thousand gallons of wastewater. The new sewer rate structure was very comparable to our new water rate structure where the minimum bill also includes the first 3 thousand gallons of water. Another change in the rate structure was that we began having a commercial and residential rate for treating wastewater. Treating commercial wastewater is more difficult and more corrosive on our system than treating household wastewater. Therefore, beginning in 2008/2009, the rate was $1.35 per thousand gallons for commercial wastewater and $1.25 per thousand gallons for residential wastewater after the first 3 thousand gallons. Commercial accounts are billed for their sewer volume based on their water consumptions. Residential customer’s sewer usage is estimated from a winter average of water usage. As with water, the low volume customers saw less of an increase. Water and sewer customers that use more water, incurred most of the rate increase in 2008/2009. While the new structure encouraged conservation, our revenue system became more volume dependent. The paradox of conservation is that if conservation actually works, the system has revenue shortfalls and additional rate increases are needed. The 2008/2009 rate increase was only a portion of the rate increase needed for the new well field project and to provide more internal capital for infrastructure improvements. We were able to obtain favorable financing from the Texas Water Development Board and issued $38,885,000 in bonds for a portion of the well field project. The average interest rate was $2.09%. However, the sheer size of the issue called for a 10% rate increase. The rate increase was applied across the board in 2009/2010 and all customers saw the 10% increase. The City was successful in obtaining the balance of the Potter County Well Field project ($47.4 million) from Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) at a very attractive interest rate (1.97%) for twenty-year debt. Moreover, the City obtained another $18 million in funding from the Texas Water Development Board for improvements at the Osage Treatment Plant at 0%, again for twenty-year debt. While the interest rates are very attractive, the borrowing still has to be repaid. Therefore, we had another 10% rate increase in 2010/2011. We had a great opportunity in 2010/2011. The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) purchased over 213 thousand acres in water rights from Mesa water. Most of the water rights were contiguous with CRMWA’s holdings in Roberts County. Since the holdings are contiguous, future development of the holdings can take advantage of existing infrastructure. While purchasing water rights is expensive, developing the rights is even more costly. However, the portion in Ochiltree County was contiguous with the City of Amarillo’s water rights. In fact, CRMWA would have to cross the City of Amarillo’s water rights to develop the field. Thus, it made more sense for the City of Amarillo to own the Ochiltree County water rights than CRMWA and the City purchased the rights from CRMWA. The City issued $16.3 million in Water and Sewer bonds to purchase the Ochiltree County water rights from CRMWA and the City’s portion of the CRMWA debt is another $38.1 million. This transaction necessitated another rate increase. In total, we needed an 11% rate increase to service the debt. In order to avoid another double-digit rate increase, the debt was structured so that we could have a 6% increase in 2011/2012 and another 5% increase in 2012/2013. We included a 2% increase in water rates for the 2013/2014 year. The City issued approximately $8.4 million in bonds through the TWDB to fund the Lift Station #7 reconstruction and improvement project. This rate increase will be used to fund the debt service. During the 2015/2016 fiscal year the City implemented at 3% rate increase to fund additional debt associated with the Arden Road transmission line project. For the both the 2016/2017, 2017/2018, and 2018/2019 fiscal years the City has increased rates by 3% anticipating $28 million in bond issues to fund capital projects. Our 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 water and sewer revenue were substantial at over $66.2 million, $67.4 million and $67.8 million, respectively. The area has been experiencing drought conditions for the past several years. Thus in 2011/2012, 2012/2013, and 2013/2014 the City experienced increased water consumption. Our projected budgets are based on average consumption levels. While the rate increases have been substantial, we are still staging the increases in an attempt to be less burdensome on our customers. Even with the above rate increases, our citizens enjoy some of the lowest water and sewer rates in the State. The 35

Airfield Revenues: Airfield revenues include fees charged for use of the airfield. Landing fee revenue is the now the second largest revenue source in this category. Landing fees are based on the number of flights and the weight of the aircraft. Overall, we are estimating a slight increase in landing fees from $545,802 in 2017/2018 to $550,000 in 2018/2019. In 2008/2009, we began charging a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) of $4.50. The PFC is one of the Airport’s most significant revenues. The PFC generated about $1.40 million in revenue in 2013/2014, $1.35 million in 2014/2015, $1.32 million 2015/2016, $1.22 million in 2016/2017, should generate approximately $1.36 million in 2017/2018, and an estimated $1.33 million in 2018/2019. The PFC will be used to service the debt on the $17.4 million bond issue in 2008/2009 for terminal improvements. Terminal Building Revenue: Terminal building revenue is the Airport’s most significant revenue source and contains terminal rentals and commissions for the vendors that utilize the airport terminal. The auto parking concession is included in terminal building revenue. The airline rental revenue also includes the cost of Airport Security Service. The Airport may also increase future fees to reflect increases in cost. Historically, the parking concession has been our most significant single source of operating income. Depending on the year, either airline rental income or airport parking revenue is the number one revenue source. Next year, we expect airline rentals to be $2.1 million. However, the most significant change in this revenue category is the addition of a Customer Facility Charge in 2014/2015. With the construction of a common facility to service all the rental cars, and car rental customers are charged $3 on car rentals to pay for the facility. We estimate Customer Facility Charge revenue at approximately $0.6 million for 2018/2019. Parking revenue is budgeted at $2.8 million for 2018/2019 which remains flat with 2017/2018 revised estimate. The new restaurant and bar located inside the secure portion of the terminal generate about $210,000 in revenue. Car rental revenue is expected to be $940,000 in 2018/2019 as compared to $1,044,393 in 2017/2018. A graph of terminal building revenue follows.

Airline Rent 29%

Other Building and Grounds Revenue: Other building and grounds revenue is a significant airport revenue source. Most leases have provisions to increase with the Consumer Price Index on some periodic basis. Grounds rental revenue is from various ground lease agreements with car rental companies, charter aircraft companies, corporate hangars, grazing leases, tower leases, and farming leases. As mentioned above, these leases have an annual increase built into the lease agreements and the projected amounts are based on the individual leases. Similar to the ground leases revenue above, other building rental revenue is from building leases with various tenants and the projected revenue is based on the individual leases and occupancy. We are estimating a decrease in Airport other building and ground rentals from $1,507,857 in 2017/2018 to $1,395,966 in 2018/2019. Fleet Services and Information Services Interdepartmental: The equipment rental revenue source represents the departmental user charge for shop owned vehicles, trucks, and rolling stock. The revenue source is calculated from departmental budgetary estimates. The fleet user rate has two components: an operating rate and a replacement rate. In conjunction with converting to a new automated fleet system, rental rates were converted from a per mile rate to a monthly rate. Since anticipated usage in miles can be difficult to estimate, the monthly rate is easier to budget. During 2010/2011, fleet rental rates were lowered 10%, even though the City continued to experience increased cost in repair parts and erratic fuel prices. The decrease in rates was to give some much needed budgetary relief in other areas. While individual department budgets can vary, we increased rates by 5% overall in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 and by 7% in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 to help make up for the decrease. During 2013/2014, we also restructured the rates charged to Enterprise Funds, including Solid Waste which is located in our General Fund, in order to align the rates with actual costs. We increased garage rental rates again in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. Fleet Services Fund is in decent shape and should still have about $6.9 million in available funds. We expect Fleet Services interdepartmental charges to decrease from $16,271,799 in 2017/2018 to $16,232,704 in 2018/2019. Our Information Technology Fund operates similar to our Fleet Services Fund. We have developed a charge-out system based on the hardware, software, and services utilized by the various user departments. We increased rates overall by 3% in 2013/2014, 4% in 2014/2015 and 3% in 2015/2016. Beginning in 2013/2014, our telecommunications department and related user fees have been moved into our Information Technology Fund. User fee revenue is expected to increase to $6,319,026 for 2018/2019. As with the Fleet Services Fund, we expect future rate increases in the Information Technology Fund. COMMENTARY ON AVAILABLE FUNDS General Fund: The General Fund began the year with $42,757,840 in available funds. We anticipate ending the 2017/2018 fiscal year with $46,511,904. We had intended to reduce our General Fund available funds in 2017/2018. We had targeted the 2017/2018 37


CITY OF AMARILLO

fund balance at $40,692,915 and budgeted $4.6 million in transfers to capital projects funds. The increase in the 2017/2018 fiscal year available funds is due to a combination of more revenue than expected and departments under spending their operating budget. Historically, year-end surpluses have been earmarked mainly for capital projects. In 2017/2018, we budgeted a $0.3 million transfer to our General Construction Fund, $1.2 million transfer to our Street and Drainage Improvement Fund, $0.6 million transfer to our Solid Waste Improvement Fund, and $2.5 million transfer to the Civic Center Improvement Fund. For the 2018/2019 budget, we budgeted a $3.1 million transfer to the General Construction Fund. The 2018/2019 transfer to the Solid Waste Improvement Fund is $1.0 million, and $2.3 million is budgeted as a transfer to the Civic Center Improvement Fund. After the 2018/2019 transfers, the City should have $43,578,953 in available funds. The 2018/2019 available funds is consistent with our targeted reserve of three months operating expenditures excluding the transfer to General Construction. Moreover, due to our conservative budgeting practices, we generally end the year with a reserve that is more than three months operating expenditures. The transfer to the Compensated Absences Fund was eliminated in 2010/2011 and not budgeted for 2011/2012 or thereafter. The balance in the Compensated Absence Fund should be sufficient for the next fiscal year, but will need to be restored in the future. Many cities target a two-month operating reserve. We target a three-month operating reserve because of the volatility in our revenue sources. Sales tax is our main revenue source and even small percentage changes amount to significant differences in revenue. Franchise fees are also important revenue sources to the General Fund, and many of these fees are weather dependent. General Interest and Redemption: The General Interest and Redemption Fund is used to accumulate funds for the payment of the general long-term obligations of the City. Relatively speaking, the City of Amarillo still has very little tax supported debt. Our tax supported debt consists of one bond issue for library improvements; the 2007 Certificates of Obligation and the 2010 Certificates of Obligation were issued for the Grand Street Bridge project. During 2017 the City issued the 2017 Certificates of Obligation to fund public safety radios and the 2017 General Obligation Bonds for the first year of the November 2016 voter approved debt to fund streets and public safety. Our tax supported debt will require a property tax of $0.03666 per $100 valuation in 2017/2018. We anticipate that we should end 2017/2018 with $2.8 million in our General Interest and Redemption Fund, and end 2018/2019 with $630 thousand. Since property taxes are both highly collectable and predictable, we only target a modest amount of available funds in the General Interest and Redemption Fund. The City has historically used the Certificates of Obligation structure when issuing self-supporting debt to obtain more attractive interest rates. In 2010/2011, the City had issued two Certificates of Obligation for self-supporting debt. The City issued $3.7 million for golf course improvements and $2.2 million in a TIRZ streetscape project. The golf course debt will be paid from golf related revenues and the TIRZ debt will be paid by participation of the TIRZ taxing entities. The City has had six Certificates of Obligation issues for improvements at the Greenways Public Improvement District and for improvements at the Colonies Public Improvement District. The Certificates of Obligation issued for Greenways and Colonies improvements are funded by special assessments on the property owners of those subdivisions and do not require the levy of a property tax. Most of the funds accumulated in our debt service funds are to satisfy the City’s obligation to pay accumulated vacation, sick pay, and comp time. State law allows police officers and firefighters to accumulate unused sick leave without limit and requires that they be paid for up to 90 days of unused sick leave at termination. In addition to accumulating unused sick leave, all fulltime employees can also accumulate up to 65 days of unused vacation pay. Traditionally, the City of Amarillo personnel rules had extended the 90-day payment of unused sick leave provision to full-time civilian employees with at least 10 years of service. However, beginning in 2007, the City of Amarillo changed its sick leave and vacation leave policy for new civilian employees. Civilian new hires after 2007 will be allowed to accumulate up 60 days of unused sick leave and 30 days of unused vacation pay. The new sick leave and vacation policy should slow the accumulation of accrued sick leave and vacation pay. While the new policy is clearly not as good as the old policy, it is still an attractive benefit. The new policy does not apply to police officers or firefighters, which still represent a great deal of liability. It is the City’s policy to indentify and prefund liabilities as opposed to a pay-as-you-go funding. In the past, the City has prefunded the liability for sick leave and vacation so that funds are available at termination to pay the benefit. The City only partially funded the sick leave and vacation benefit in 2009/2010 and has not funded the benefit since then. At the current withdrawal rate, the sick leave and vacation accumulation will be exhausted during the next fiscal year. One of the best reasons to prefund a benefit is that the earnings on the accumulated funds can be used to reduce the cost. Unfortunately, there are not much earnings in this low interest rate environment and less of an incentive to prefund the sick leave and vacation benefit. In any event, we will have to begin funding this obligation again or pick it up on a pay-as-you-go basis in the 2019/2020 fiscal year.

CITY OF AMARILLO

While we have accrued the cost, we have not funded the liability for closure and post-closure costs at our landfill. Moreover, we have historically not prefunded the cost of our other post-retirement benefits, other than pensions. City employees can keep their City health coverage after retirement at very attractive rates that do not reflect the total cost of the benefit. The landfill costs are insignificant compared to the cost of post-retirement health coverage. Beginning January 1, 2013, we funded a trust dedicated to the costs associated with our other post-retirement healthcare benefits. We allocated 1.96% of all full-time salaries to the new trust for calendar year 2013. The rate increased to 2.43% beginning January 1, 2014 and will remain the same through fiscal year 2018/2019. We began the year with $4,602,698 in available funds set aside for the City’s general obligations. We anticipate ending the 2017/2018 fiscal year with $2,847,860; a decrease of $1,754,838. In 2018/2019, available funds are expected to be $630,882 with $3,067 set aside for compensated absences and $627,815 thousand for tax supported debt. Enterprise Funds: The Enterprise Funds are business-like activities that sell a product or service to the general public. The City of Amarillo Enterprise Funds consists of the Water and Sewer Fund, the Airport Fund, and the Drainage Utility Fund. All of these funds are self-sustaining and do not require any assistance from another fund. An enterprise fund provides for both operating and capital funding of their respective activities. Thus, the reserve of an enterprise fund consists of an operating reserve and a capital reserve. By policy, we target three months operating expenditures as an operating reserve plus about one year’s normal capital expenditures as a capital reserve. In total, Enterprise Funds began the year with $45.6 million in available funds. Ending the 2017/2018 fiscal year, available funds are estimated to be $43.7 million, a decrease of $1.9 million. In 2018/2019, available funds are expected to decrease to $42.3 million related to a decrease in revenues and an increase in operating expenditures in Airport. Most of the above change in available funds would be attributable to the Water and Sewer Fund. Of the above $45.6 million in beginning available Enterprise Funds, the Water and Sewer Fund represents $35.6 million. At the end of 2017/2018, we expect the Water and Sewer Fund to decrease to $35.1 million. We began our 2017/2018 year with beginning available funds equal to the original budget projection. Water and sewer available funds should increase to $36.1 million by the end of 2018/2019. After considering our reserve for sick and annual leave of $1.0 million and our legal reserves of $13.5 million, our net operating reserve would be $21.6 million. We will be very close to a three-month operating reserve of $13.0 million and a one-year capital reserve of $9.0 million in our Water and Sewer Fund. We have very conservative methods of budgeting. For capital projects, we consider the funds are no longer available when they are budgeted for a project instead of projecting the future cash outflows of these projects. The Water and Sewer Fund had cash and investments at the beginning of the year of approximately $133.7 million, but after subtracting liabilities and capital project budgets of $98.1 million, we consider available funds to be $35.6 million. Please refer to the Enterprise Fund Summary of Resources and Expenditures for more detail on the available funds calculation. The Airport Fund began the year with approximately $6.3 million in available funds. We expect the available funds to decrease to $5.3 million by the end of 2017/2018. In 2018/2019, we expect airport available funds to decrease to $3.5 million. The above $3.5 million of estimated available funds in 2018/2019 will fall slightly below our target of three months operating expenditures plus one year’s normal capital expenditures. The target balance is approximately $4.3 million: $2.3 million for a three-month operating reserve and $2.0 million for a one-year capital reserve. The Drainage Utility Fund began the year with approximately $3.7 million in available funds and we expect available funds to decrease to $3.3 million by the end of 2017/2018. The new assessments began October 1, 2012. After six full years of collections and operating and capital expenditures, we anticipate ending 2018/2019 with $2.6 million. Our targeted reserve is $2.8 million: $0.8 million for a three-month operating reserve and $2.0 million for a one-year capital reserve. Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are similar to enterprise funds above in that they are used for business-like activities. However, the Internal Service Fund’s customer is the sponsoring governmental entity. Internal Service Funds are used for activities where it is important to recognize the full cost of a function on the accrual basis. The City of Amarillo Internal Service Funds consists of the Fleet Services Fund, the Information Technology Fund, the Risk Management Fund, and the Employee Insurance Fund. Like an Enterprise Fund, an Internal Service Fund provides for both operating and capital funding of their respective activities. Thus, the reserve of an Internal Service Fund consists of an operating reserve and a capital reserve. By policy, we target three months operating expenditures as an operating reserve plus one year’s normal capital expenditures as a capital reserve. The Risk Management Fund and the Employee Insurance Fund do not generally have capital expenditures; therefore, these funds would not need to provide for a capital reserve. However, we need available funds for large, out-of-ordinary claims that may occur. 39


CITY OF AMARILLO

In total, the Internal Service Funds began the year with approximately $18.1 million in available funds. We are estimating that by the end of 2017/2018 fiscal year available funds will decrease slightly to $17.9 million. In 2018/2019, available funds are expected to increase by $1.2 million to $19.1 million. In sum, our targeted reserve for the Internal Service Funds should be about $20.1 million: Fleet Services $7.4 million, Information Technology $2.7 million, Risk Management Fund $5.0 million, and $5.0 million for the Employee Insurance Fund. The 2018/2019 balance of $19.1 million is short of our targeted $20.1 million. Over the last three years the City has successfully reduce the upward trending claims costs in the Employee Insurance Fund and has been able to rebuild reserves. Going forward the City anticipates that the claims will trend upward and continues to monitor health provider networks and plan design, however this is an area that will continue to see funding increases. The Fleet Services Fund started with $8.9 million in available funds. We increased fleet rental rates by 7% and restructured Enterprise Fund rates, including Solid Waste, in 2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. In 2016/2017 we increased fleet rental rates by another 7%. We expect 2018/2019 fleet available funds at $6.9 million. However, the City was able to address needed capital replacements with capital expenditures of $5.0 million. The 2018/2019 available funds of $6.9 million fall slightly below the targeted reserve of $7.4 million. Like the Fleet Services Fund, the Information Technology Fund has experienced abnormally large capital expenditures in the past few years, which has depleted their available funds. Beginning available funds for the Information Technology Fund were approximately $2.0 million. We expect Information Technology’s available funds to decrease slightly to $1.9 million for the 2017/2018 fiscal year. In 2018/2019, available funds are expected to increase slightly to $2.0 million. Our estimated 2018/2019 available funds of $1.7 million after subtracting a reserve for sick and annual leave are slightly below a three-month operating reserve of $1.3 million and leave a balance for capital of $0.7 million. The Risk Management Fund (sometimes referred to as the Self-Insurance Fund) provides coverage for most of the City’s exposures including general liability, worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, police officer liability, public official liability, auto liability and auto physical damage. The Risk Management Fund purchases property insurance including boiler and machinery, police office liability, malpractice insurance for our clinic and carries excess worker’s compensation insurance. We generally have very high deductibles or self-insurance reserves with our purchased coverage. State law protects the City with an overall liability limit of $250 thousand per occurrence; therefore, the City has not purchased excess coverage for auto or general liability. The City’s main liability exposure would be in Federal Court. Our greatest exposure in Federal Court would be involving a police officer, thus we have purchased police officer liability coverage that protects both the officer and the City. Overall, our claims experience has been improving. The Risk Management Fund began the year with $3.0 million in available funds. For 2017/2018, we expect to end the year with $3.4 million in available funds. We expect to end 2018/2019 with available funds of $4.5 million. All known claims are fully funded at their estimated value based on an actuarial study. Additional available funds are necessary for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims and for catastrophic claims. Obviously, IBNR claims and catastrophic claims are very difficult to predict and with changes in our property insurance policy deductibles we would like to have about $5.0 million in available funds for these claims. Therefore, we will end 2018/2019 less than our targeted reserves. However, we are very pleased that we were able to increase reserves by $1.5 million dollars in a two-year period. The Employee Insurance Fund provides life and employee medical coverage, including dental, to City employees and retirees along with their dependants. The Employee Insurance Fund purchases life coverage, but is self-insured for medical and dental. However, we have individual stop-loss coverage, which resets annually, if a claim is more than $750 thousand. Dental is entirely employee/retiree funded. Employee healthcare is largely employer-funded, but employees and retirees are also required to make contributions. During 2013, 2014 and 2015 the Health Plan saw a significant increase in claims. In order to reduce the possibility of a large rate increase, and in keeping with our general philosophy of an incremental approach to rate increases, deductibles and out of pocket amounts were increased as of January 2014. Plan deductibles are currently $1,500 per person, and the maximum outof-pocket expense is $5,000. The maximum out-of-pocket is all an employee/retiree would be required to pay in a calendar year before the plan pays at 100%. We would rather make smaller incremental changes to the Plan in an effort to refrain from having to make more drastic changes in plan design. However, the federal healthcare reform bill has and will continue to add future costs to the Plan. The City is completed a dependent eligibility audit to ensure that all members are eligible for coverage on the Plan. Effective January 2015 the Medicare eligible members were transitioned off of the Plan and provided a stipend to supplement insurance costs. We increased the employer contribution by 5% in October 2014, the employee/retiree portion by 3% in January 2015, and the employer contribution by 5% in October 2018. We have four drug tiers with progressively larger co-pays where generic drugs make up the first tier. The tiers and the co-pay increase corresponding to the cost of the drug. Participants are required to pay the entire plan cost for drugs that have an over-the-counter equivalent; such as proton pump inhibitors and non-sedating antihistamines. The plan cost is still a substantial discount compared to the retail pharmacy price of the drug. Even when we have had to increase drug co-pays, we have kept the generic co-pay at the same level for several years to encourage more generic utilization. We currently have high generic utilization, over 80%.

CITY OF AMARILLO

During 2015 the City reviewed the financial stability of the Fund. Since 2013 the City has made significant changes to control costs, deductible increases, out of pocket increases, dependent eligibility audits and premium increases. Historically, the City has very favorable contracts in place for Amarillo hospital services, physician’s services, lab, and pharmacy. Beginning in July 2014, the City entered into a wrap network that has lower negotiated rates for healthcare services outside of the City’s local network. The measures taken so far have not produced the anticipated results in lowered claims experience. During July 2015 the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the third party administration of the medical, dental, and flex plans. During July 2015 the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the third party administration of the medical, dental and flex plans. The City anticipates that a national carrier will have more favorable discounts with network providers. Effective January 1, 2016 Aetna Life Insurance Company began provide the plan administration for the medical and dental programs. For the 2015/2016 the city saw $5.1 million net reduction in health plan costs driven by a reduction in claims from $24.2 million to 18.0 million, we believe directly related to the Aetna contract. For the 2017/2018 fiscal year we anticipate claims at $19.2 million and for 2018/2019 we budgeted claims at $21.1 million. Employer health plan premiums for the 2018/2019 fiscal year will increase $0.9 million and we anticipate ending the 2018/2019 fiscal year with $5.6 million in reserves, slightly above the $5.0 million target. Overall, the City is very pleased in the cost saving measures experienced by the Health Plan during the last three years. We estimate the liability for IBNR claims in the Employee Insurance Fund based on a claims lag report. The Employee Insurance Fund’s IBNR claims are calculated by the City’s health plan provider based on actual claims. We also recognize the liability for large claims including their corresponding treatment plan. We target a $5.0 million reserve for catastrophic claims. We are estimating that we will end 2018/2019 with available funds of $5.6 million, just over our targeted reserves. Special Revenue Funds: With the exception of the Public Improvement Districts, the Special Revenue Funds do not have a target reserve balance. Most of the Special Revenue Funds are grant funds that are bound by the grant agreement and operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. If funds are accumulated in a grant fund, they will usually be spent the following year(s). Funds accumulated in the Housing Assistance Program and the Home Program are rolled over to future years in the budget process. Monies in the Court Technology Fund will be used to upgrade the software at the court. The Court Security Fund is used to pay the salary and benefits of the court’s bailiffs and security improvements at the court. The accumulated funds in the APD (Amarillo Police Department) Seized Property Fund are used for the operating expenses of our Narcotics division, excluding salaries. The Narcotics officers’ salaries and benefits are included in the Police Department’s budget. APD Seized Property is derived from court ordered forfeitures. At the current rate of expenditures, the seized funds would be sufficient through 2018/2019. LEOSE Fund is a Law Enforcement Training grant and available funds will be spent in future budgets. We do not anticipate receiving any additional LEOSE funding in 2018/2019 and are unsure if we will receive more funding in future years. The funds accumulated in the Hazardous Transportation Planning grant should be spent in the subsequent years. The target reserve for the Public Improvement District is three months operating expenditures, unless funds are being accumulated for some type of improvement. Capital Improvement Funds: Capital Improvement Funds are set up to provide for the addition, improvement, and renovation of the City’s fixed assets and infrastructure. Like most Cities, we have an aging infrastructure and most of our capital spending is for replacement capital. While there may be some incremental improvement in operating costs for the particular improvement, it most likely will not be noticed with our aging infrastructure. Generally, our target reserve for a capital improvement fund is one year’s capital spending. Our main capital improvement fund is the General Construction Fund, which can be used for any general government purpose such as buildings, street improvements, libraries, and parks. The estimated ending available funds of $5.1 million are consistent with our targeted balance. One year of capital expenditures in this fund is between $5.0 million and $6.0 million. Traditionally, the Golf Improvement Fund was funded by $1 of the green fee being set aside for course improvement. Beginning in 2011, the fee was raised to $2 to help pay the Certificates of Obligation issued for course improvements. We also implemented a premium green fee to pay for the renovated courses. The increase in the premium green fee goes to the Golf Improvement Fund for debt service. The Golf Improvement Fund is expected to end 2018/2019 with less than $50,000 in available funds. We would like to accumulate at least a half year of debt service, $125,000 before any golf improvement funds are used for the courses. For 2017/2018 golf fees have been increased and will increase over future years. The Civic Center Improvement Fund is funded by the hotel tax. The hotel tax is first used to offset the net operating cost of the Civic Center complex including the Civic Center and the Globe News Center. The remaining funds are transferred to the Civic Center Improvement Fund to be used for future improvements. The Civic Center Improvement Fund should end 2017/2018 with $2.7 million. The City anticipates ending 2018/2019 with about $1.9 million in available funds. One-year capital spending would be approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million, and the $1.9 million estimated 2018/2019 available is consistent with this target. However, the City anticipates use a large portion of the fund balance to help fund the downtown projects, downtown parking garage, and multipurpose event venue (ballpark). 41


CITY OF AMARILLO

The Bivins Improvement Fund is specifically set aside for improvements of the historic Bivins home that houses our Chamber of Commerce and several not-for-profit organizations. The Bivins Improvement Fund should have about $0.2 million in available funds at the end of 2018/2019, which should be sufficient for any major expenditure. We have been accumulating funds in our Solid Waste Improvement Fund for some major improvements at our landfill and improvements to our transfer station, which began in 2006/2007. Funds are transferred annually from the General Fund, representing part of the sanitation charge for improvements at the landfill. For the 2018/2019 budget the City has included $1.1 million for multiple Landfill projects. At the end of 2018/2019, we anticipate having remaining available funds of $0.4 million. Future capital needs will require larger General Fund transfers in the future. BUDGET CHANGES AND HIGHLIGHTS An important change for the 2016/2017 Annual Operating Budget was that the budget was presented as a Program Budget. The programs offered by City departments were presented with program descriptions and performance measures to define the level and quality of services delivered to Amarillo citizens. The City hopes that the reader will find a programmatic presentation useful in facilitating a review of City departmental programs. Development of the 2017/2018 Budget was a challenge with flattening sales tax revenues. The City continued the funding of the Pay and Compensation Study implemented in the prior year, funded dollars towards addressing compression caused by implementation of the Pay Study, and funding for year 1 of the Amarillo Police Officer Association Meet and Confer agreement. For 2018/2019 Budget the City has begun to see sales tax revenue projections increase slightly over the 2017/2018 revised estimate. Taxable property values remain strong with a 5% increase for 2017. These sources of revenue make up the largest percentage of our funding for general government expenses. Every effort has been made to maintain current levels of service throughout the City with available revenues. The impact of increasing costs in several vital areas of commodities, materials, supplies, fuel, electricity and personnel have required we make some difficult choices to balance the Budget. This Budget represents a $19.8 million increase from the prior year. The increase in the budget include $20.0 million of capital projects related to the November 2016 voter approved debt, $1.6 million increase in Water and Sewer fund operating costs and $3.1 million increase in debt service related to the 2017 General Obligation bond issue and the anticipated 2018 Water and Sewer Revenue bond issue. The Budget addresses the BluePrint Amarillo Council priority of Employee Compensation. The Budget includes dollars to fund year two of the Amarillo Police Officer Meet and Confer Agreement which includes a 2.5% shift differential pay, 1.0% raises for the Police and Fire Department and civilian employees, 1% lump sum payment to eligible full-time employees, and continuation of longevity and discretionary retention pay. During 2016/2017, Council approved the implementation of the Pay and Compensation Study which allowed the City to adjust beginning pay for all our pay scales to reflect market rates. The 2017/2018 budget included funding to support the Pay and Compensation Study implemented during the 2016/2017 fiscal year, as well as dollars to address compression between employees created with the implementation of the new pay schedules. The implementation of the Pay and Compensation Study during the 2016/2017 budget was accomplished through the reduction of 21 vacant positions and reductions in other maintenance and operating expenses. The current Budget includes the addition of 25 positions in areas where currently available funding was available or could be reallocated. Even with the reductions made during the last two budgets, the City continues to provide our current basic programs. However, there is little, if any flexibility left in the Budget to address unanticipated needs. Our current financial constraints limit the City in the ability to deliver new programs and services. This Budget allows us to take care of what we have at current service levels, with limited flexibility to address other needs. The City has included a 3% increase in the Water and Sewer rates. The water rate structure includes four tiers and is designed so that customers who only use water for domestic use still have very reasonable rates. This rate increase will fund year three of a five year, $140 million, capital program. It is anticipated that the five year program will be funded with five annual 3% rate increases. The City tax rate increased slightly over the prior year to $0.36838 per $100 of valuation from $0.36364 per $100 of valuation and represents a 1.80% over the effective tax rate. The increase was in the interest & sinking portion of the tax rate and was related to the November 2016 voter-approved bond projects. With increasing property values, we estimate an increase of $1 million for the property tax related to the General Fund. The increase in the debt service portion of the tax rate will fund increased debt service related to voter approved debt. Sales tax collections from 2016/2017 were down from record levels in the prior fiscal years. However, 2017/2018 is anticipated to increase slightly by 2.7% with collections at $57.0 million. We have estimated sales tax for the 2018/2019 fiscal year to increase slightly to $58.4 million. The additional General Fund revenues are being used to help fund Public Safety priorities in the 2018/2019 budget. Unfortunately, we had to drop the TMRS Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for retirees in 2010/2011. We would like to restore a COLA benefit, but under current law, a city has to make up for all the COLAs that were skipped. This provision makes it very 42


CITY OF AMARILLO

expensive and difficult to restore the current COLA benefit. We have tried in the 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015 legislative sessions to get a true ad hoc COLA benefit, but have failed. However, we intend to pursue this again in the future. We continue to address rising health care costs. While we have some excess coverage we are largely self insured on employee health. The City continues to monitor all costs of the Health Plan. For the 2014 Plan year, the City increased the amount of deductibles and out of pocket cost for the covered members. The City completed a dependent eligibility audit to ensure that all members are eligible for coverage on the Plan. Effective January 2015 the Medicare eligible members will be transitioned off of the Plan and provided a stipend to supplement insurance costs. During 2015 the City completed a financial review of the stability of the Health Plan and made the decision to complete an RFP process for medical, pharmacy, dental, stop loss and flexible spending administration. Effective January 1, 2016 Aetna Life Insurance Company began provide the plan administration for the medical and dental programs. The City was able to take advantage of better discounts by contracting with a national carrier For the 2015/2016 the city saw $5.1 million net reduction in health plan costs driven by a reduction in claims from $24.2 million to 18.0 million, we believe directly related to the Aetna contract. For the 2016/2017 fiscal year we recorded claims at $17.3 million. For the 2017/2018 fiscal year we expect to see claims of $19.2 million. Employer health plan premiums for the 2018/2019 fiscal year will increase 5% and anticipate ending the 2018/2019 fiscal year with $5.6 million in reserves, slightly above the $5.0 million target. Overall, the City is very pleased in the cost saving measures experienced by the Health Plan during the last few years. The City has a significant investment in streets, parks, buildings, rolling stock, our solid waste collection system and landfill, our Water and Sewer Utility, and other infrastructure. Historically, a great deal of our capital budget is for replacement of our infrastructure. During the summer of 2016 the City completed a three month long community engagement program titled Wise Investment. In November 2016 the voters approved $109 million in tax supported debt to fund street and public safety infrastructure. This approval allows the City to begin addressing aging infrastructure and will provide budgetary relief to future budgets. The Council also approved a 3% increase in Water and Sewer rates to fund year three ($29.1 million) of a five year, $140 million, Water and Sewer capital program. The 2018/2019 capital budget is $87.4 million. The Water and Sewer Fund includes capital projects of $34.4 million of this amount $29.1 million financed with bond financing. During 2019 the City will fund $19.9 million in street and public safety projects with third (year three) general obligation bond issue. The Airport Fund has $7.7 million in capital projects with $6.1 million in federal grant funding. About $199 million in new property was added to the tax roll this year compared to $237 million last year and $212 million the year before. Our taxable values increased to $13.1 billion. However, due to the frozen taxes, $10.8 billion was subject to levy at the 2018/2019 tax rate of $0.36838. The previous year’s tax rate was $0.36364. FUTURE OUTLOOK Amarillo is the 14th-largest city, by population, in the state of Texas and the largest in the Texas Panhandle. Amarillo was originally known for agriculture and oil and gas production, and these activities are still very important to our economy. However, Amarillo now has a more diversified local economy. Amarillo is a regional trade center and medical center for a vast area including the Panhandle of Texas, parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and even southern Kansas. Amarillo also has diverse major industries in the defense industry, aviation/aerospace, food production, traffic and transportation, medical & health care and business and financial services. Amarillo started as a railroad town and the railroad is still important. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway complex in Amarillo moves hundreds to thousands of cars daily, carrying different types of merchandise including coal, chemicals, agricultural and consumer products. The Union Pacific Railroad also sends substantial shipments to or through Amarillo. Due to our central location, we expect travel and transportation to remain major industries in Amarillo. Amarillo is located on Historic Route 66. Traffic and transportation have historically been an important industry in Amarillo. Amarillo is centrally located in the United States and well connected by highway, air, and rail systems. Interstate 40 runs through Amarillo, making for easy access from California all the way to North Carolina. Interstate 27 bisects the city from north to south. Amarillo is the only major city between Albuquerque and Oklahoma City going east-west. Also, Amarillo is the only major city to the ski resorts of New Mexico and Colorado from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The large traffic volume from Interstate 40, Interstate 27, and State Highway 287 helps support our hotel industry along with restaurants and tourism. A large portion of our hotel tax is allocated to support and encourage travel and tourism in our community. Half of our hotel tax is appropriated to conventions and tourism through a contract with our local Chamber of Commerce. For the 2018/2019 budget, a total of $1,949,579 has been appropriated to our convention and tourism efforts with an additional $469,319 to subsidize events at our Civic Center. Our 2015/2016 year was a record year for hotel tax collections, surpassing the previous 2014/2015 record year. Thus, 2017/2018 may be difficult to come in higher, but we are forecasting a modest increase. Amarillo also serves as a regional airport for the area. The Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport has 37 flights daily, with destinations to major airline hubs including Dallas, Ft. Worth, Denver, and Houston. In 2011, our remodeled air terminal was in 43


CITY OF AMARILLO

service. The remodeled terminal is a big improvement over the previous terminal. Before the remodel, we were not able to use one of the concourses. Moreover, food and beverage service and retail sales were inadequate on the secure side of the terminal before the remodel. For 2016/2017 we saw an increase in airline boardings at 373,885, compared to 2015/2016 airline boardings of 341,359. Prior to this, continuous decreases were due in large to the expiration of the Wright Amendment and Southwest restructuring their service network, which resulted in a decrease of flights from AMA. However, we expect boardings to improve this year. Future positive seat capacity growth is expected to continue. Capacity increases are being driven by larger aircraft entering the market. Amarillo serves as a regional medical center for our area and the medical community is very important to Amarillo’s economy. Amarillo is home to a Veteran’s Hospital, which includes a 120-bed veteran’s nursing home. Amarillo’s two major hospitals are Baptist Saint Anthony’s Hospital (BSA) and Northwest Texas Hospital (NWTH). Baptist Saint Anthony’s Hospital rated in the top 100 hospitals in the United States for several years. Northwest Texas Hospital is home to the area’s only level III designated trauma center. As the population continues to age, we expect the medical community to become more important in the future. Texas Tech University has a consolidated 20-acre medical center comprising the schools of pharmacy, medicine and allied health located in west Amarillo. The allied health school trains students in physical therapy. The medical school produces family physicians, pediatricians, obstetrics and gynecology doctors and doctors specializing in internal medicine. Historically, oil and gas production were major industries in the Panhandle. According to the September 2017 Amarillo Economic Analysis, we have 13 active drilling rigs in the Panhandle compared to 9 last year. Oil prices have been erratic, but compared to this time last year, oil is up at $44.63 per barrel compared to $38.05 for the same month last year. Natural gas is at $3.02 per mcf compared to $2.84 last year. The Texas Panhandle is one of the most unique and diversified agricultural areas in the world. The temperate weather conditions and the availability of irrigation water have made the area well suited to a number of agricultural enterprises. According to the AgriLife Extension Office, the area consists of 14 million acres of agricultural land with 9 million acres in pasture and 5 million acres in crops. Agriculture is still an important industry in the Panhandle have gone from drought conditions in 2011 (driest year on record), th 2012 and 2013 to 2015 when the City received 34.63 inches of precipitation and the 4 wettest year on record. Principal crops are corn, wheat, cotton, and sorghum. However, more than 25 crops are grown commercially in our trade area according to AgriLife Extension Office. Most local commodity prices are doing well; however, wheat and corn prices are down from last year. According to the September 2017 Amarillo Economic Analysis, area wheat was at $3.77 per bushel up from $3.23 the year before; corn is at $3.71 per bushel compared to $3.15 last year. Cotton increased to $71.40 per pound, compared to $61.30 last year. In recent years, the Panhandle has also become a major hog and dairy production area. The Texas Panhandle is often referred to as the Cattle Feeding Capital of the World. The Texas Cattle Feeders Association is located in Amarillo and represents cattle feeders in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, an area known as Cattle Feeding Country. According to the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, the above cattle feeding area is the largest in the nation. Also according to the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, this cattle feeding area produces about 6 million fed cattle annually, which is about 28% of the nation’s beef. Our area has an ample harvest of locally grown feed grains, a mild climate, and large major meat packers with modern plants in our area. The meat packing industry is a major employer in Amarillo. The September 2017 Amarillo Economic Analysis reported fed cattle at $104.97 per hundred weight which decreased slightly from $105.00 per hundred weight for the prior year. One of our largest employers is Tyson Foods, which operates a beef processing plant in Amarillo. We have seen steady growth in our tax base since 1993. However, over the last few years, additions to the tax roll were at a decreasing rate. We still expect additions to the tax roll in the near-term. As previously mentioned, sales tax is our largest single revenue source. Our 2017/2018 year will be a record year for sales tax receipts surpassing our 2015/2016 previous record. We expect sales tax receipts to increase next year, but at a more modest rate. Historically, sales tax receipts have done well. Our unemployment rate is still one of the lowest in the State. Our unemployment rate increased to 3.6% in September according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The national unemployment rate for September was 3.7% and the State of Texas unemployment rate was 3.8%. Amarillo has experienced continued growth in population. We expect the population to continue to grow by 1.5% to 2% annually. Amarillo’s census population for the year 2000 was 173,627 compared to 157,615 in 1990. The 2018 population is estimated to be 202,800. According to a recent study, Amarillo is expected to grow to about 240,000 by 2020. Construction during the last ten years has remained strong. The new residential construction for the ten year period has fluctuated with a high $161 million to a low of $115 million with average new residential of $137 million for the ten year time period. Likewise new commercial building as fluctuated with a high $192 million to a low of $48 million with average new commercial of $109 million for the ten year time period. Building has remained strong for 2018 with new residential permits of 44


CITY OF AMARILLO

$150 million and new commercial permits of $139 million, with both areas over the ten year average. The 2015/2016 fiscal year reflects revenue of $1.5 million in building permits, down slightly from the prior year of $1.6 million. Estimates for the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 fiscal year reflect stable projections of $1.5 million and $1.6 million respectively. The City has taken a multi-pronged approach to redevelop downtown. One of the most important steps was the creation of a downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 (TIRZ #1). Taxes from the increase in property value in the TIRZ #1 will be earmarked for, and reinvested in, the TIRZ #1. Since three other taxing entities participate in the TIRZ #1, more funds will be invested in the TIRZ #1. Ever since the creation of the TIRZ #1 we have seen steady increase in the TIRZ #1 property values. In 2006, the base year, TIRZ property values were $139 million. In 2018, TIRZ values are $238 million. The TIRZ #1 has helped with funding for downtown projects, which were some of the anchors indentified in our Downtown Strategic Action Plan, as well as residential housing, convention hotel(s), more retail, commercial and office development, and family venue(s). We have engaged a developer for a convention hotel, parking garage and multi-purpose event center. The Amarillo Local Government Corporation was created in 2011 to oversee the project. Construction improvements to downtown are in process with the construction of 373,000 square foot building for Southwestern Public Service at an estimated value of $42.7 million was completed in April 2017. The convention hotel (226 rooms) opened in August 2017. And, the LGC completed the parking garage and retail space of $15 million during April 2017. The City has secured an AA baseball team and the funding of $45.4 million dollar multipurpose event venue (MPEV) and estimates the completion of the MPEV project first quarter 2019. The City has contracted with Center City of Amarillo Inc. for several years. Center City Inc. is dedicated to the revitalization of Downtown Amarillo by focusing on community, social, recreational, and economic interests. Center City is a nationally recognized member of both the Texas and National Main Street programs. The City contracted with Center City Inc. for $181,650 to provide administration and facade improvements downtown. During the summer months, Center City's “High Noon on the Square” provides live music and their annual Block Party which is always well attended. The Amarillo Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) is the primary economic development engine of the Amarillo community, focused on industry growth and job creation through business attraction and retention initiatives. In 1989, the citizenry of Amarillo approved a measure to increase the sales tax rate by one-half cent to be dedicated to economic development programs. The vote proved to be a proactive one, as Amarillo was the second city in Texas to approve the sales tax for economic development in the first year the program was made available through the Texas Legislature. The mission of AEDC is to attract businesses to Amarillo which offer highly-skilled, highly-paid positions; to expand and retain existing local businesses in Amarillo; and to create a business environment conducive to entrepreneurship. The AEDC targets companies whose primary function is to produce goods or services that are then sold outside of the immediate trade area, thereby introducing new monies into the local economy. This strategy is met by implementing aggressive business recruitment programs, local business retention and expansion programs, and promoting the Amarillo, Texas brand worldwide. In 2018, AEDC approved up to $69 million in grant funds to Texas Tech University for the development of a College of Veterinary Medicine. These funds will be used toward the construction of facilities adjacent to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Amarillo. This project provides job growth in Amarillo and educational opportunities that support the largest industry in the region. The AEDC continued its partnership with West Texas A&M University through the EnterPrize Challenge, a local business plan competition funded by AEDC and facilitated by the WT Enterprise Center. The 23rd annual Amarillo EnterPrize Challenge awarded five grants totaling $450,000 to new and emerging companies expected to create more than 36 new jobs and make substantial investments in the regional economy. To date, 91 businesses have received cash grants totaling more than $6.3 million, resulting in 902 new jobs and $156 million in new revenue to the Amarillo economy. By contractual agreement, Texas Panhandle Regional Development Corporation (TPRDC) acts as the small business financing arm of AEDC. TPRDC provides small business financing for owner-occupied commercial real estate. This Certified Development Company approved nine Small Business Administration 504 loans totaling over $14.7 million, which leveraged $7.3 million in bank financing and $2.4 million in owner equity. For the year, this program was responsible for the creation of 48 new jobs. TPRDC also funded four loans in 2018 totaling just under $2.5 million. In addition to employment and business opportunities, Amarillo offers a high quality of life for our citizens. The arts are well represented in Amarillo. The Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts is home to the Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Opera and the Lone Star Ballet, while also hosting a variety of concerts, touring shows and special performances. Located in downtown Amarillo, the 10-story, 70,000 square-foot facility has a 1,300-seat auditorium with state-of-the-art acoustics. The theater has a full proscenium stage and stage equipment. The Center also serves as an education center, has a large rehearsal hall and support facilities such as offices, dressing rooms, and wardrobe rooms. The Globe News Center serves as an education center for a five-state region of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas. The Center’s ‘Window on a Wider World’ works with arts, science, cultural organizations, and educational institutions to promote excellence in interdisciplinary arts, science and cultural programs. Its primary goal is to integrate arts, science and cultural programming into the core curriculum of math, science, language arts and social studies. The Globe News Center above is a part of our Civic Center Complex. Our Civic Center has a coliseum, auditorium, and meeting room space. The coliseum has 4,870 permanent seats and an additional 1,800 seats can be added to the floor. The 45


CITY OF AMARILLO

auditorium seats 2,500. The Civic Center has conventions, concerts, musicals, and plays; and is home to our hockey team and arena football team. There is currently an architectural study of the Civic Center underway, which should have some recommendations for updating the facility. The fairground is also home to the Amarillo National Center (ANC). The ANC is an 113,400 square foot livestock area with approximately 4,900 fixed seats. The ANC has attracted and hosted several large livestock events, the American Quarter Horse Association’s Adequan Select Championship, the West Texas Futurity Cutting and the Tri-State Fair Rodeo. The ANC has made us very competitive in attracting new events to Amarillo. The American Quarter Horse Association’s home is in Amarillo. The American Quarter Horse Association is the world’s largest equine bread registry and membership organization. The American Quarter Horse Association hosts the Quarter Horse Museum, which is adjacent to their headquarters on Interstate 40. The Amarillo Museum of Art is located on the Amarillo College campus and features painting, prints and sculptures. The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum, which is located in nearby Canyon, Texas is the largest museum in the State of Texas. The Panhandle Plains Museum has archeology, paleontology and geology exhibits, an art collection and hosts traveling exhibits. For the children, we have the Don Harrington Discovery Center and Space Theater, which has several hands-on exhibits and a planetarium. There are several outdoor activities in the Amarillo area. We now have 64 parks in Amarillo. The Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Caprock Canyon State Park and the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument are all in the Amarillo area. The outdoor musical drama, Texas, is held each summer at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. We have a zoo, an amusement park, a water park, two skate parks, and the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. Amarillo has a state-of-the-art shooting complex facility located on 34.8 acres of land. The site includes a 5,000 square-foot building, 36 high-power rifle-shooting positions and 20 pistol-shooting positions. The complex is intended for joint public use and police training. Other area law enforcement agencies also utilize the facility. Amarillo is well represented by higher education. Texas Tech University has a medical and pharmacy school here in Amarillo, along with a graduate engineering program. The Texas Tech School of Medicine trains third and fourth year medical students and offers residency training in family and community medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine and pediatrics. The Texas Tech School of Allied Health Sciences currently offers a master's degree in physical therapy. The School of Pharmacy has a four year Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Amarillo’s community college is Amarillo College. West Texas A & M University (WTAMU) is located in nearby Canyon. With help from the AEDC, WTAMU now has a campus in downtown Amarillo. Both Amarillo College and West Texas A & M University are known for producing high quality graduates. We believe the future for Amarillo is bright. Amarillo has an ample workforce, low taxes and utilities, and the best-funded economic development corporation in the State. Amarillo has a diverse economy, business and employment opportunities, and education and recreation opportunities.

CITY OF AMARILLO PROFILE OF AMARILLO Location and Climate The City of Amarillo is located on the boundary of Potter and Randall Counties in the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, and is currently the county seat of Potter County. The City is located at the crossroads of Interstate Highway 40 and Interstate Highway 27, with the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway intersecting the heart of the City. Amarillo is approximately 120 miles north of Lubbock, 360 miles northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, 285 miles east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 265 miles west of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Geographically, Amarillo is located within the High Plains section of the Great Plains. The High Plains is a vast, gradually sloping apron of material that was washed down from the Rocky Mountains. Beneath the limestone caprock covering the High Plains, is an agglomerate of gravel, sand, and clay carried down from the Continental Divide called the Ogallala Formation. The Ogallala is significant to the Panhandle as it provides irrigation water and a portion of the industrial and municipal water for this region. Amarillo has a dry, semi-arid climate with four distinct seasons. Temperatures in the High Plains vary greatly depending on the time of year. Amarillo temperatures range from an average low of 23°F (January) to an average high of 91°F (July) with temperatures topping 100°F approximately five times per year. From October 2016 to September 2017 Amarillo had an average low of 23.6°F (December), an average high of 94.3°F (July), received 25.7” of rain, and 10” of snow.. Humidity averages are low, occasionally dropping below 15 percent in the spring. Low humidity moderates the effect of high summer afternoon temperatures, permits evaporative cooling systems to be very effective, and provides many pleasant evenings and nights. The average annual precipitation for Amarillo is 20.36 inches. Measurable precipitation falls on an average of 72 days per year. Snowfall averages 18.0 inches annually in Amarillo. Snow is most frequent during the winter months, but some of the heavier snowfalls have occurred in March. Snow has fallen as early as September and as late as May. The Texas Panhandle is one of the windiest regions in the United States. As westerly winds flow over the Rocky Mountains, low pressure forms to the east of the mountains in the High Plains. This very persistent low pressure is what leads to the strong average wind speeds of 13.1 mph from predominately south and southwesterly direction for Amarillo. Amarillo is known for its spacious skies, and clean air. History The City of Amarillo had its beginnings in 1887 near a bend in the Fort Worth and Denver (FW&D) Railroad, then under construction. This railroad was the first in the Panhandle of Texas, opening the way for settlers. By way of showing the importance of the railroad to early settlement, the first streets were laid parallel to the railroad lines. The economy was based on cattle, and this location became one of the largest cattle shipping points in the world. The point where the FW&D crossed the Santa Fe railroad, completed in 1898, was a logical site for the growth of what was to become the Panhandle’s premier city, Amarillo. The completion of the Santa Fe railway assured the City’s future and inaugurated a new period of stability. Amarillo was incorporated in 1899, and the young city grew quickly. The early 1900s were a time of growth for Amarillo when the discovery of natural gas in the area made the City the heart of the Panhandle’s oil and gas business. By 1910, telephone services along with water, gas, and electric systems were in place. New churches, schools, and a library were built. Three new railroad depots were built as the City became linked to a new transcontinental rail line. The first automobiles were used and a new streetcar system was initiated. In 1913, following state-enabling legislation, Amarillo wrote its own charter and became one of the first cities in the United States to adopt the commission-manager form of government. This was considered quite progressive and was part of a movement to clean up government.

CITY OF AMARILLO From cattle trails and railroads, to highways and airports; transportation has always been the cornerstone of Amarillo’s economy. In the 1920s, the City boomed both in population and assembly when the construction of Route 66 passed through Amarillo, connecting Chicago to Los Angeles. West Sixth Street was paved as part of Route 66 in 1921. The interstate highway system allowed Americans to become more mobile, and since the early days of automobile travel, Amarillo has been an important stopping point for travelers. During the 1930s, the City was significantly influenced by a growing reliance on automobiles. Oil and gas production kept Amarillo from feeling the full effects of the Depression. With increased traffic, the downtown area became congested and more parking was needed. The opening of Wolflin Village Shopping Center drew retail trade out of downtown and into the southwestern portion of the City. Thus allowing downtown to become the financial heart of the city with its banks and other office buildings. Amarillo’s next link to the world was heralded by the opening of the Amarillo Army Air Base in 1942 (later known as the Amarillo Air Force Base). With the Air Base closing in 1968, Amarillo’s population decreased by approximately 11,000 people by 1970. Strong leadership helped the City survive and thrive after this event. Over time, the Air Base would become the Amarillo International Airport, now known as the Rick Husband International Airport. In the 1950s, due to the increase in traffic along Route 66, the highway moved from Sixth Street to Amarillo Boulevard. Interstate Highway 40 opened in 1976, continuing Amarillo’s tradition as a respite for travelers and further connected the region. Other changes in the 1960s included a bond election passed to build a new Civic Center, the start of the Amarillo Medical Center, and construction of the new international airport terminal. The 1960s provided the building blocks for Amarillo’s future as a regional center with cultural, medical, and transportation services. The 1970s were a period of recovery for Amarillo, as the population and development grew during this decade. The late 1980s and early 1990s were a period of moderate growth. Downtown Amarillo saw major private investments in buildings (predominately banking facilities and offices), a new regional mall in western Amarillo was constructed as well as numerous apartment complexes in the area. A maximumsecurity prison located east of city limits, named the Clements Unit became operational in 1990 and housed 3,619 inmates. In 1994, the prison was expanded to house 1,000 more inmates. Also in 1994, the Neal Unit, a new women’s prison housing 1,667 inmates was completed. In 1997, this unit was changed to a men’s prison. In 2008, Amarillo finalized a Downtown Strategic Action Plan. Key goals include maintaining Downtown as a financial, government, and civic center for Amarillo and surrounding areas; attracting urban-type lifestyle living, and continuing to support the Civic Center area by developing quality hotels in an effort to draw a wide array of conventions and conferences to Amarillo. In 2006, a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone was established to support downtown efforts outlined in the plan. Starting with a base value of $139.5 million, the zone has grown to a taxable value of $238.3 million in 2018. In 2009, the City of Amarillo hired a consultant to assist the community in developing a new Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a document designed to represent the Community’s vision and goals regarding development, redevelopment, and community enhancement over the next 15 to 20 years and beyond. Through a variety of community and leadership outreach efforts, the appointed Steering Committee helped sharpen the focus of each section of this plan and on October 12, 2010, the plan was adopted by Amarillo’s City Council. Initial implementation projects included establishing a drainage utility fee, a mobility study along the Soncy Rd/Loop 335 corridor, and modification of the City’s annexation ordinance. Today, new residential areas continue to develop in various parts of Amarillo. Residential building permits issued continue to grow in 2018, with 355 permits through July, which are on track to exceed the annual permits for 2017 at 479 and 2016 at 493 issued. The Amarillo Metropolitan Statistical Area was ranked st rd th 41 in the world by the 2017 3 Quarter 14 Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability

CITY OF AMARILLO Survey. The Amarillo area was also ranked 43rd of 150 largest cities in the nation by WalletHub 2017’s best cities for families. Amarillo’s Relationship to the Region and the State The regional trade territory surrounding Amarillo is made up of 55 counties and portions of five states. Amarillo is the regional service center for the Texas Panhandle. Its isolation is one of the City’s most significant characteristics and assets. Amarillo’s geographic location and its relationship to major transportation facilities are important reasons for the significance of regional wholesale and retail trade. Wholesale and retail trades comprise about 17% of the Amarillo area’s employment. Average retail sales for the area totaled $3.7 billion for calendar year 2017. th According to the 2010 US Census Bureau, Amarillo is the 14 largest city in Texas with a population of approximately 190,695. The July 2017 estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau shows Amarillo growing to 199,826 since 2010. Having an average increase of 1% to 2% each year, Amarillo is an important developing metropolitan center in the southwest. The conversion of Amarillo from a local to regional urban service center over the past several decades reflects a nationwide trend toward dominant urban centers and the City’s commitment to meeting the needs of surrounding communities.

LOCAL ECONOMY Although Amarillo was a city built solely on agriculture and energy production, Amarillo’s economic base has diversified significantly. Today’s economy is comprised of business and industry ranging from energy research and development, beef processing, agriculture, copper refining, wholesale distribution, fiberglass production, defense contracting, aviation maintenance, metal machining and finishing, to oil and gas production. The economy consists of all the manufacturing and service tools necessary for the operation of the City and the region. Amarillo’s business attitude, central location and low cost of living make it an attractive destination for new businesses. The Amarillo Metropolitan Statistical Area or City of Amarillo was ranked by the following companies:  9 of 150 Best Large Cities to Start a Business (2017 WalletHub)  7 of 180 Best Cities for Hispanic Entrepreneurs (2018 WalletHub)  48 of 200 in the cost of doing business (2016 Forbes Best Small Places for Business and Careers)  85 of 201 large cities (2017 Milken Institute Best Performing Cities Index)  151 of 383 economic strength ranking (2018 POLICOM Corporation) Local governmental entities in the Amarillo area have remained extremely strong, and are presently in sound financial condition. The City of Amarillo adheres to a policy of a balanced budget and conservative management of the City’s resources, as do all local taxing entities. Planned construction is carefully budgeted on a “pay as you go” basis and consequently, the City has maintained a strong financial condition for the benefit of the taxpayers. Another indicator of the City’s traditionally stable and strong economy is total sales tax collections. In 1980, the City’s tax receipts for retail sales were $7.7 million. In 1989, the citizens of Amarillo displayed their pro-business attitude by approving a 1% sales tax increase of which half is dedicated to property tax relief and half is dedicated to economic development, bringing the total City sales tax rate to 2% overall. Tax receipts for retail sales remain strong. Not including the half cent Economic Development sales tax, City collections for 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years were at an all-time high of $48.01 million, $51.68 million, and $54.42 million, consecutively. City sales tax collections for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 fiscal year were well over $55 million. Collections for the 2017-18 fiscal year are estimated to increase to over $56.5 million. Amarillo was created as an agricultural servicing center and a significant portion of its economy is still based upon the important economic activity. In fact, the Texas High Plains is one of the most unique and diversified agricultural areas in the world. The temperate weather conditions and the availability of irrigation water have made the area well suited for a number of agricultural enterprises.

CITY OF AMARILLO Cash receipts for crops, value-added livestock, and livestock products totaled in excess of $4.7 billion in the 26 counties known as the High Plains Trade Area. The total of value-added agricultural commodities, government payments to producers, and payroll of agribusiness firms averaged more than $6.2 billion per year in the trade area for 2009 through 2012. The 26 county region of Texas referred to as the High Plains Area is one of the most important agricultural areas in the world. The counties in the area were selected on the assumption that Amarillo served as their primary regional trade center. Approximately one-tenth the size of Texas, the impact on the regional and statewide economies from the High Plain’s livestock operations was estimated to be $8.1 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively. The area has access to an ample supply of feed grains, a mild climate, and large major meat packers with modern plants which makes it ideal for cattle feeders. One of the most highly productive agricultural regions in the world, the Texas High Plains is often referred to as the Cattle Feeding Capital of the World. During the 2009-2012 time period, fed cattle marketed in the area averaged just under 5 million head, which corresponded to 78.5 percent of the states’ total. The same conditions that brought the cattle industry to the area have also attracted the hog and dairy industries. According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, over 600,000 head of hogs raised annually, making the Panhandle region the top hog producer in the state. Seaboard Farms, Texas Farm, and Smithfield Inc. have all established significant hog operations in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. The October 2011 issue of The Texas Association of Dairymen acknowledged Castro County, located within the Texas Panhandle, for becoming the number one milk producer in the State. Crop production is also important to the region’s economy. More than 25 crops are grown commercially in the area including over half of the state’s corn and wheat production. Other major crops for this area include grain sorghum, ensilage, hay, and cotton. A number of industries in Amarillo are related to agriculture, including grain storage and distribution, livestock feed companies, meat and cheese processing, packaging and distributing, fertilizer and pesticide distribution. As has been the case in the past, the future of agricultural production in the High Plains is bright. Amarillo is also an important hub for natural resource storage and/or extraction. Mined resources include oil, gas, and helium. Although Amarillo is not located directly in a major oil-producing field, it benefits heavily from the region’s petroleum industry. Despite stabilization and cutbacks in petroleum development, the industry will remain a significant element of the Amarillo economy. Amarillo is known as the “Helium Capital of the World” because a large percentage of the world’s helium supply is located within 250 miles of Amarillo. The Cliffside Gas Field is owned by the federal government and operated by the Bureau of Land Management. The Amarillo Helium Plant, on the western edge of the City, was built in 1929 to process helium-rich natural gas. Although the plant has closed, area gas fields will continue to store government and privately owned crude helium for many years to come. The professional and technical services segment of the economy includes such services as medical, financial, real estate, insurance, and other miscellaneous services. There has been an increase in employment in these types of services in the past decade. There is expected to be a continued gradual increased demand for such required services in the Amarillo area. Manufacturing firms employ 11% of the total work force in the Amarillo area according to the Align Amarillo Economic Development Strategic Plan adopted in 2017. Additionally, Amarillo’s centralized geographic location is an ideal strategic transportation service hub for the United States. Amarillo has become a strong leader in the aviation manufacturing industry. The Bell Helicopter Amarillo Assembly Center is a leader in the latest vertical lift aircraft technology. Bell Helicopter’s facility in Amarillo is the final assembly and delivery site for the V-22 Osprey, the UH-1Y Yankee, and the AH-1Z Zulu, all destined for the Armed Forces of the United States. Amarillo’s facility will soon build Bell’s newest commercial helicopter, the Bell 525 Relentless, the first ever super-medium helicopter. The Amarillo Bell Helicopter facility employs approximately 1,250 workers. The decision to add commercial work to the facility’s programs fit easily into the plant’s overall growth plan and took advantage of the state-of-the-art facilities as well as the partnership with the City of Amarillo and the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation.

CITY OF AMARILLO Because of the numerous attractions in and around Amarillo, tourism is a major industry. Some of the more prominent tourist attractions are Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which hosts the annual musical production “TEXAS” in the Pioneer Amphitheater, Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, Don Harrington Discovery Center, Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo Little Theatre, Amarillo Symphony, the Lone Star Ballet, and American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum. Also, annual events such as the World Championship Ranch Rodeo, the July 4th fireworks show, Tri-State Fair and Rodeo, Pirates of the Canyon Balloon Festival, Good Times Celebration Barbeque Cook-off and various professional sporting events bring numerous visitors to Amarillo each year. Tourism and convention activities in Amarillo contributed to over $325 million, with nearly two million overnight visitors, to the area’s economy in 2016. The variety of attractions in this portion of Texas not only adds to the economy, but also to Amarillo’s quality of life. The City continues to promote growth in this area, most recently by announcing plans to construct a $40 million multi-purpose event venue (MPEV) downtown, which will be home to a new AA affiliated baseball team coming in spring 2019. Local, state, and federal governments continue to be a consistent and growing source for employment in the Amarillo area. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statics, between 2017 and 2018, over 100 new local government jobs were created. The government sector of Amarillo’s economy encompasses a wide array of public employers, such as the independent school districts, higher educational institutions, prison systems, and other state operated facilities; federal agencies, including the United States Postal Service, United States Department of Agriculture, and the Pantex Plant operated by the Department of Energy; and local public employers, such as the City of Amarillo as well as Potter and Randall Counties. The adequate reserves of land and energy along with Amarillo’s geographic location are an ideal place for business and industry. The same type of commitment that has made Amarillo what it is today drives current City leaders to continue to vigorously attract future business and industrial development.

COST-OF-LIVING/QUALITY OF LIFE The cost-of-living index measures relative price levels for consumer goods and services in many cities throughout the nation. The cost-of-living index does not measure inflation but it does compare relative prices at a single point in time using a national average of 100 as a base. The following table shows the differences between Amarillo’s overall cost-of-living and that of other Texas cities. Cost-of-Living Comparison* City AMARILLO Austin Corpus Christi Dallas El Paso Lubbock Odessa San Antonio

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX The consumer price index (CPI) represents price changes for items individuals purchase for living such as food, clothing, automobiles, homes, home furnishings, fuel, etc. This index measures only prices and

57


CITY OF AMARILLO does not take into account changes due to quantity or quality differences. Many times, CPI is used by economists to determine whether prices are increasing or decreasing from month to month. A variation of this national index has been developed for the Southern Region to measure the prices of a fixed basket of goods and services representing consumption patterns of the region. It is realized that in a dynamic economy, measures such as CPI are complicated by the fact that many factors vary including price levels, employment, output, value of assets, and demographic patterns. The Regional CPI is an individual region index which measures the change in prices in a particular region. It does not determine whether prices or living costs are higher or lower compared to other locations. The South Region’s CPI is as follows: Annual Average CPI for South Region Year South Urban CPI 2007 200.361 2008 208.681 2009 207.845 2010 211.338 2011 218.618 2012 223.242 2013 226.721 2014 230.552 2015 230.147 2016 232.692 2017 237.456 2018* 242.004 *2018 CPI is based on average of first and second quarter data Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, CPI, All items in South Urban, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted (Base 1982-84=100).

QUALITY OF LIFE The City of Amarillo and the associated region have a high quality of life that make living and working in the area very attractive. Below is a brief discussion of various quality of life aspects in and around Amarillo. Schools Educational institutions in Amarillo, from the public elementary schools to the higher learning institutions, are highly valued symbols of community identity and achievement. Amarillo is well represented on every educational level. Texas Tech has medical and pharmacy schools located in Amarillo, and with our nation’s aging population, both schools should do very well in the future. Amarillo is home to Amarillo College (AC), Wayland Baptist and Vista College also have campuses in Amarillo, and West Texas A&M University is less than 20 miles from Amarillo with a satellite campus located in downtown Amarillo. In the 2003 legislative session, the legislature authorized Texas colleges and universities to set their own tuition. Amarillo’s educational facilities are discussed in more detail below. School Districts Within the corporate city limits of the City of Amarillo, there are five independent school districts. The Amarillo Independent School District (AISD) is made up of 37 elementary schools including one magnet th school centering on mathematics, science, and the arts; three 6 grade campuses; nine middle schools including one middle school focusing on mathematics, science, and technology; four high schools and two specialty campuses.

These school districts are generally located in areas of the City which are less densely developed than AISD. The Bushland Independent School District (BISD) has one elementary, middle school and high school respectively and is located in the southwestern portion of Potter County. There are also several private, religious, and vocational schools that meet the educational needs of the community. Higher Education Facilities West Texas A&M University (WTAMU), a member of the Texas A&M University system, celebrated its centennial year during 2010 with a long history of educational excellence. High quality academic offerings that are both engaging and challenging combined with a dedicated faculty committed to teaching excellence have helped WTAMU earn top-tier status for regional universities in the western United States by U.S. News and World Report. University officials are preparing for WTAMU’s second century with an ambitious plan to enhance the campus and set the stage for future growth. New facilities, high-tech classrooms, renovations and improvements along with the University’s Amarillo Center guarantee that students of today and tomorrow will enjoy a college experience that prepares them for a life of learning, leadership, and service. Amarillo College (AC) is an accredited community college offering 143 degree and certificate programs, instruction on six campuses as well as one outreach center. The 2016 Fall Semester academic enrollment was 10,087, and an additional 24,000 area residents continued their education in one of AC’s Professional Development and Personal Enrichment classes. th AC’s Washington Street campus is 24 acres in size and is located adjacent to S.W. 24 Avenue and Washington Street. The West Campus, being 41 acres in size, located north of the Amarillo Medical Center and is the primary location for Allied Health, Nursing, and Criminal Justice training. An 8-acre downtown campus houses the Business and Industry Center while the East Campus, located near the Amarillo International Airport, mainly focuses on Industrial and Transportation Technologies.

AC has two additional campuses located in the outlying communities of Hereford to the southwest of Amarillo and Dumas to the north of Amarillo. Wayland Baptist University (WBU), whose main campus is in Plainview, Texas, conducts night and weekend classes in Amarillo for students earning degrees in business administration, human services, career technology education, Christian studies, management, and applied science. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) began operations in Amarillo with the School of Medicine (SOM) in 1972. The school offered elective clinical rotations in space borrowed from Northwest Texas Healthcare System and the Veterans Affairs Health Care System. In 2002, the SOM moved into a new 155,000 square-foot building located at 1400 S. Coulter St. The Amarillo campus is not only home to the SOM, but now also encompasses the schools of allied health sciences and pharmacy. The campus is located in Amarillo’s 400-acre Regional Medical Center. The first TTUHSC program moved to Amarillo in 1974 when five resident physicians began family medicine training. A pediatrics program began in 1978, followed by obstetrics and gynecology in 1979 and internal medicine in 1988. Since the medical school graduated its first class in 1974, it has produced

59


CITY OF AMARILLO over 3,000 physicians. The applicant pool is very competitive and the medical class size has recently increased from 147 to 150 students. Richard Jordan, M.D., serves as the SOM regional dean. When the School of Allied Health Sciences opened in 1994, it was housed in the Amarillo Speech and Hearing Center. The school’s academic and clinical programs are now at the Coulter Street location. The school offers a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and trains approximately 60 students annually. Michael Hooten, Ed.D. serves as the School of Allied Health Sciences’ regional dean. The state-of-the-art School of Pharmacy (SOP) has grown steadily since it opened in 1996. The school presently admits 115 first-year students to its Amarillo campus annually, and the program’s growth has produced regional campuses in Abilene, Lubbock and Dallas/Fort Worth. The SOP in Amarillo also has the distinctive honor of being home of the Texas Pharmacy Museum. In 2007, the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health (LWBIWH) was established at TTUHSC. The institute was first launched in Amarillo and has grown to serve communities in Lubbock, El Paso, the Permian Basin and San Angelo as well. The institute builds research, education and outreach programs to improve the lives of women and their families. TTUHSC at Amarillo is also home to InfantRisk Center, the Amarillo Breast Center of Excellence, SiMCentral and the West Texas Influenza Center. On top of being a teaching facility, TTUHSC at Amarillo also provides care to area residents offering firstclass medical services in family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry and geriatrics. Medical care is open to all. TTUHSC is committed to providing topnotch training for future medical professionals while offering first-class medical treatment to its neighbors. The Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center, located at 6500 W. Amarillo Boulevard, provides information, technology, and assistance in the areas of agriculture, community development, and family and consumer sciences. This is one of 13 research centers within the Texas A&M System. Texas AgriLife Research in Amarillo is dedicated to science that will help make crop and livestock production in the region more efficient. Also housed at the AgriLife Center is the district office of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, which has a network of agents and specialists trained to aid producers, homeowners, and families with its many programs. The Texas A&M Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, located next door, assists veterinarians, feedyard managers, and cattlemen in diagnosing the causes of diseases and other health problems affecting livestock in the region. Amarillo’s Professional Sports Teams In the fall of 2010, the Amarillo Bulls began their inaugural Season in the North American Hockey League, by offering exciting, affordable family entertainment. The Bulls team consisted of some of North America’s best young hockey players, ranging from age 17 to 20, in an effort to advance their hockey careers and to receive a College Scholarship. Since its existence, over 50 players have received scholarships with West Point, Air Force Academy and Princeton. The players are amateurs, receiving no salary, and they stay with local families making Amarillo their new home. These players give back to the community by helping local charities. An Amarillo Bull player has won the NAHL Community Service award four straight years in a row. The Amarillo Bulls have won the oldest Hockey trophy in the United States, the coveted NAHL Robertson Cup. The seven-month season, from September to March, consists of 28 regular season home games which are played in the Amarillo Civic Center’s Coliseum.

Amarillo welcomed The Amarillo Dusters, a professional indoor football team of the Intense Football League, in 2004. In 2010, the Amarillo Dusters became the Amarillo Venom. The Venom joined the Lone Star Football League for the 2012 season. They won back-to-back Championships in the years 2012 and 2013. The Venom proudly plays in the Amarillo Civic Center’s Coliseum during the months of March through July.

60


CITY OF AMARILLO In spring 2019, the City of Amarillo will welcome back AA affiliated baseball for the first time since 1982. The Amarillo Sod Poodles is affiliated with the San Diego Padres and will play in the new $45.5 million MPEV which is currently under construction. The new state of the art facility will be located in downtown Amarillo and offer yet another affordable family entertainment option for the community and surrounding area.

PARKS AND RECREATION Park land, open space, and recreational facilities serve an important function for the City of Amarillo. The park system improves the quality of life by providing recreational opportunities for the community as well as protecting the natural environment. The location and design of park land and open space can be beneficial to Amarillo’s image by providing a visual improvement to a neighborhood and, in some cases, serve as a buffer between differing land uses. Park and open space facilities in Amarillo are comprised of school playgrounds, school parks, linear and ornamental parks, neighborhood, community, and regional parks. Amarillo currently has 64 parks and 2 golf complexes that combined with areas of developed recreation open space total 2,168 acres which is 74% of the 2,935 acres of dedicated open space. Amarillo’s municipal golf courses include Ross Rogers and Comanche Trail Golf Complexes, both with 36 holes each. Other areas of recreational opportunity include 3 public swimming pools, 2 concrete skate parks, 15 water spray grounds, the Amarillo National Tennis Center and the Amarillo Zoo. In addition to Amarillo’s parks system, recreational areas of the community are supplemented by the various improvements found on elementary, middle school, and high school sites. These sites are located throughout the city and provide athletic-type facilities for students. Middle school sites contributing to Amarillo’s open space include Austin, Bonham, Bowie, Crockett, Fannin, Houston, Mann, Travis, De Zavala, and Westover. Facilities for recreational activities such as baseball, soccer, track events, and football are also found at high schools such as Amarillo, Caprock, Palo Duro, Tascosa, Randall, River Road, and Highland Park. Privately owned recreational facilities such as the Maverick Club, Amarillo Netplex, numerous health clubs, as well as the Amarillo Country Club and Tascosa Golf Club also provide community recreation and leisure services. Additional projects funded through the Parks Capital Improvement budget that were completed in recent years include the following:  Design and construction of the splash pad and playground at Gene Howe Park.  Design and construction of the PlayZone at Medical Center Park. The new playground and splash pad provide access, transition and functionality for everyone regardless of their physical limitations or special needs. This was a public-private partnership with the Southwest Chapter of Ambucs which, without their vision and generous donation, would not have been possible.  Design and construction of a new playground and swings at Mesa Verde School Park. This was a joint effort between the Parks and Recreation Department and the Community Development Block Grant.  Design and construction of a concrete crosswalk with surface safety lighting and signage to enhance safety for pedestrian and bicycles at the Georgia Street and Rock Island Rail Trail crossing. Additional benches and bicycle “fix-it” stations were also placed at this location. Major Regional Recreation Facilities Numerous major recreational areas are located in the Texas Panhandle region and provide Amarillo citizens the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, camping, hunting, etc. Even though the regional facilities may be up to 55 miles from Amarillo, they are considered supplemental to Amarillo’s park system due to the type, size, and quality of recreational opportunities provided. Area lakes, such as Greenbelt Reservoir located north of Clarendon, Lake McClellan south of Pampa, Lake Mackenzie east of Tulia, and Lake Meredith near Fritch, offer public fishing and boating recreation. The Canadian River, located north of Amarillo, provides areas for hunting and off-road driving and riding. Buffalo Lake Conservation area, a wildlife refuge near Canyon, and Wildcat Bluff Nature Center, west of Amarillo, provide both active and passive recreational areas from hiking trails to picnic areas.

61


CITY OF AMARILLO Palo Duro State Park, located southeast of Amarillo, is one of Texas’ most spectacular scenic features since the colorful, rugged terrain of this canyon provides a sharp contrast to the plains of the Panhandle. The park offers camping, hiking, picnicking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. An amphitheater is also situated within the park where the Nation’s best-attended outdoor musical drama “TEXAS” is performed seasonally. “TEXAS” has been named one of North America’s 100 Best Events in 2013 by the American Bus Association.

MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION Municipal administration services are housed in Amarillo City Hall, the Simms Building and associated public buildings known as the Municipal Complex. The complex is located in the vicinity of S.E. 7th Avenue and Buchanan Street and includes City Hall, Civic Center, Simms Building, Centennial Plaza, Central Library, Globe News Performing Arts Center, Facilities Administration Building, and associated parking areas. The entire municipal complex is appropriately located at the edge of the Central Business District and is accessible to the transit system. City Hall The Amarillo Sunday News-Globe, on Sunday January 8, 1967, announced the Grand Opening of the new Municipal Building and estimated the attendance to be more than 8,000 people. The article read: “First Jewel in the setting that will become the Civic Center Complex in 1968 is the new Municipal Building completed last month. It is now the home for 21 city governmental offices and has four levels that incorporate 84,000 square feet of floor space. The Municipal Building, like the Auditorium-Coliseum combination being constructed to the north, was financed through the sale of bonds authorized by the voters in 1964. It cost $2,126,427, including the land, architect fees, paving, lighting, and storm sewer relocation. The outside finish consists of pre-cast concrete panels in which marble chips have been mingled and it will conform architecturally with the Auditorium-Coliseum.” Originally, a water fountain and pool were constructed at the main entrance with the stairs wrapping around either side of the water feature. The Municipal Building today is known as the Amarillo City Hall Building and is currently home to over ten city departments. The building has several of its original design features; however, one notable change has been the removal of the water fountain and pool adjacent to the main entrance to make room for the installation of a ramp and steps, making the building more accessible for all community members. City Hall is home to the Mayor’s office, City Council, Finance Department, Utility Billing, Vital Statistics, Parks and Recreation Administration, Human Resources, the City Attorney offices as well as many other departments. As established in 1968, the City Hall building remains a focal point for the citizens to access their city officials and services. Simms Municipal Building On January 22, 2016 the City of Amarillo hosted the Jim Simms Municipal Building open house. The opening of the Simms Building represents a $4.25 million renovation project and will provide an addition of 62,000 in square footage for municipal office space. The Simms Municipal Building is home to the City Care Clinic, Amarillo Emergency Communications Center (AECC), the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), Community Development, Environmental Health, Building Safety, Public Works, Engineering, Traffic, Planning and Utilities Engineering departments. The remodeled municipal building was named after the late Councilman Jim Simms, who passed away Nov. 12, 2014 at the age of 73 following a lengthy illness. In a unanimous vote by a previous Amarillo City Council, the new facility was renamed in his honor marking his accomplishments and efforts as a public servant. Amarillo Civic Center Complex When the Amarillo Civic Center opened in 1968, it housed a coliseum (7,000 capacity) and an auditorium (2,324 capacity). In 1978, the first expansion of the Civic Center added what is now known as the South Exhibit Hall and Regency Room. In 1989, the coliseum was renamed the Cal Farley Coliseum in memory

62


CITY OF AMARILLO of Mr. Farley. In 1990, the Grand Plaza was added. This unique venue for banquets, parties, and dances enclosed an outdoor area, giving the Civic Center its first indoor ballroom complete with Texas shaped terrazzo floor and Gulf of Mexico fountain. In 2003, the most recent expansion was completed, adding the North Exhibit Hall and the Heritage Ballroom. A jewel in the heart of downtown Amarillo, the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts houses a 1,300 seat auditorium and the Gilliland Education Center. Opened in January 2006, the facility is owned by the City of Amarillo and operated as part of the Amarillo Civic Center Complex. The idea behind the facility was birthed in 1999, when Caroline Bush Emeny opened fundraising for the Center with a very generous donation. The overall project cost was approximately $32 million. The acoustically sound, state-of-the-art facility was designed by Holzman Moss Architects and hosts an average of 100 ticketed performances annually. The Amarillo Civic Center and the Globe-News Center of the Performing Arts are the center of cultural activity in Amarillo; including symphonies, concerts, ballets, Broadway shows, and sporting events. Conventions, conferences, graduations, community meetings, parties, and consumer shows round out the bulk of events that take place at the facility. Totaling over 400,000 square feet, nine separate events can be accommodated at any one time within the complex. Resident companies and primary use tenants include the Amarillo Venom, Amarillo Bulls, Amarillo Opera, Amarillo Symphony, Lone Star Ballet, Window on a Wider World, and the Broadway Spotlight Series. More than 600,000 patrons attend approximately 1,000 events each year. Police Department and Municipal Courts Building In 1992, the Police Department and Municipal Courts relocated to a newly renovated building located at rd S.E. 3 Avenue and Taylor Street in downtown Amarillo. This facility was purchased from private owners who absorbed the entire cost of renovation. The facility allows for most Police Department functions to be located in one building. In 2010, the 6th floor of the Police Department was renovated. After the renovation was completed, the Uniform Division was relocated to that floor. The renovation of the 3rd floor followed to address the expanded needs of the Detective Division. Future plans include renovations to the 4th and 7th floor to address anticipated growth of the Police Department. Additionally, the Municipal Court received a much needed court document storage space, as well as larger jury and customer service areas. This facility has improved the Police Department by enhancing efficiency and improving crime fighting capabilities. Solid Waste Collection The City of Amarillo provides its citizens with a state-of-the-art solid waste collection system, which utilizes dumpsters and fully automated loading trucks. This system collects approximately 175,032 tons of solid waste annually and transports it to the City of Amarillo Solid Waste Transfer Station. There are approximately 70,204 residential accounts and 6,487 commercial accounts. The dumpster system has proven to be a very cost effective operation because one person driving and operating a self-loading truck can serve 9,500 residences daily. The automated system saves on labor and labor-related costs. A fully automated system also eliminates most of the hazards to collection work such as back injuries resulting from heavy lifting and other injuries associated with physical contact of waste materials. There are 60 automated residential routes, six hand pick-up residential routes, and 19 commercial routes served. However, with expanding development, more routes will be needed in the near future. This system will be evaluated in the near future to improve service by adding a curbside automated collection system. This new system will provide automated loading trucks in areas that do not have an alley for the current style of trucks. Areas that have hand collection and alleys that are too tight for alley dumpsters will benefit greatly from a new style of collection truck. Amarillo Sanitary Landfill The Sanitary Landfill for the City of Amarillo is five miles west of the city limits in Potter County. Sanitary landfilling is a method of disposing solid waste on land without creating nuisances or hazards to public health or safety. Principles of engineering are used to confine the waste to the smallest practical volume and to cover it with layers of earth at pre-set intervals. The current landfill site is permitted by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality to include 662 acres, of which 486 acres are suitable for disposing of solid waste. The existing site is ideal and is

63


CITY OF AMARILLO expected to be utilized for over 100 years. Amarillo, therefore, has a long-term commitment to burying its solid waste at this location. The landfill disposes of approximately 282,000 tons of waste per year. The Amarillo Sanitary Landfill has been successful in disposing of its solid waste because of proper preliminary planning and design of the site, the application of proper engineering principles, and the competent operation of the facility. The benefits of disposing of waste in this fashion include the relatively low cost of disposal, no pollution of air, land or water, and the potential future use of the site once operations are completed. Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare Department The Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare Department as well as the Amarillo Panhandle Humane Society are located at 3501 S. Osage St. and are open to the public from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday. The following services are provided by Amarillo’s Animal Management and Welfare Department:          

Impoundment of stray or unwanted animals, Enforcement of City ordinances and state laws pertaining to animals, Pet education and awareness programs, Investigation of cruelty and welfare cases, Capture and relocation of wild animals, Investigation of animal bites/attacks, Quarantine for rabies observation, Removal and pickup of deceased animals, Adoption of pets, Respond to citizen complaints

Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport The Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport became a public use airport in 1941 when the City of Amarillo purchased the current airfield portion of the airport in order to receive development assistance from the federal government. The military utilized the airport in World War II and the airport became the Amarillo Air Force Base in 1951. The airport operated as a joint-use facility through 1968. In February of 2003, Amarillo City Council voted to change the name of the Amarillo International Airport to Rick Husband International Airport in memory of Astronaut Colonel Rick Husband who was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. Colonel Husband was the Commander of the Space Shuttle Columbia and died alongside his entire crew, ironically over Texas, on February 1, 2003 as the shuttle disintegrated upon reentry after their 16-day mission in space. In 2011, the Rick Husband International Airport completed a multi-million dollar air terminal rehabilitation project. The project included a major renovation of the existing terminal building consisting of a dedicated meet-and-greet area, a consolidated gate area, a spacious security screening checkpoint, new passenger boarding bridges, and a new inline baggage screening system. In 2012, the terminal building storm water drainage system was significantly upgraded and the upper level terminal drive roadway was rebuilt. Currently, the terminal apron is undergoing a large maintenance project that includes the replacement of numerous sections of 22 inch thick concrete. Planned projects for the 2018 budget year include replacement of the terminal flight information display system, replacement of the terminal public address system, replacement of the airfield lighting electrical system and electrical control vault, replacement of most of the airport’s closed circuit TV security monitoring system, replacement of the core hardware and software that runs the access control system, and major repairs to taxiways “C” and “J.” In calendar year 2017, the airport enplaned 333,067 passengers onto aircraft of the 3 airlines serving the airport, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. American Airlines began service from Amarillo to Phoenix in April 2018. With the addition of the Phoenix service, the airport is on track to eclipse the 2017 enplaned passengers total by at least 2.7 percent.

CITY OF AMARILLO Amarillo Public Library Amarillo citizens have enjoyed library service since 1902, when a group of women known as the JUG (Just Us Girls) Club formed a lending library of 123 books. Potter County assumed responsibility for the library in 1921, until the City of Amarillo took over in 1940. Today, the Amarillo Public Library System consists of a Central (Downtown) Library and four branches, serving close to 3,300 people every day. The library collection includes close to 415,000 books, magazines, and media materials which circulate 1.6 million times per year. The Library maintains 90 public computers and provides free WIFI access to cardholders, both of which supply over 80,000 hours of internet access per year.

The Amarillo Public Library System is a member of, and serves as the headquarters for, the Harrington Library Consortium (HLC). HLC is a multi-institutional cooperative library network serving more than 130 Libraries in Texas and Oklahoma. HLC membership allows public, school, academic, and special libraries to share resources and provide additional services to patrons. The Consortium also offers member libraries consulting services, continuing education opportunities, support for literacy, English as a Second Language, and automation projects. HLC membership enables the Amarillo Public Library to increase the quality and quantity of resources available to the citizens of Amarillo and to serve as a leader in library innovations throughout the state of Texas. Fire Stations The Amarillo Fire Department (AFD) responds to approximately 22,340 alarms annually (2017). Of these incidents, 15,759 (70.5%) are Basic and Advanced Life Support emergency medical services (EMS)

65


CITY OF AMARILLO responses. The AFD is also responsible for mitigating emergencies involving structural and wildland fires, hazardous materials, technical rescue, aircraft emergencies, and non-emergency assistance calls. Rapid response times are closely related to the distribution of fire stations throughout Amarillo. In the last fifty years, Amarillo has experienced significant growth geographically - from 38 square miles to 103 square miles. During that time, the population also increased by 74,000 (36.0%.) Until 2009 the AFD had not opened a new fire station in the City to keep up with this growth. City leaders addressed this problem by adding Fire Station #11 (2009) in the Westcliff subdivision, Fire Station #12 (2011) near The Shores subdivision, and Station #13 (2013) in John Stiff Park. The addition of Fire Station #13 will allow the Department to relocate Fire Station #3 from the Estacado area south to Oxford Street, and Fire Station #9 north to I-40 and Paramount in the FY18/19 Fiscal Year. The moves will ensure firefighters continue to quickly arrive at the scene of emergency incidents. Major Medical Facilities Amarillo is a major health care center for portions of five states and includes three acute care hospitals, several medical-education facilities, long-term health care facilities, and medical clinics. The major hospitals and their respective locations are identified below: Hospital Baptist Saint Anthony’s Hospital Northwest Texas Health Care System Veterans Affairs Health Care System

Location 1600 Wallace Blvd. (Medical Center) 1501 S Coulter St. (Medical Center) 6010 W Amarillo Blvd. (Medical Center)

Amarillo Medical Center In 1959, Amarillo began developing into a regional health care center and continues to be committed to provide an array of health care services to a large geographic area. Under the sponsorship of the Amarillo Area Foundation, the Medical Center is the product of cooperation and interaction among private enterprise, local and county governments, and voluntary nonprofit groups. This multi-purpose medical complex, consisting of facilities which provide hospital and health care, medical research, and vocational and professional training; is designed to promote the development of a coordinated program of health care by concentrating a full range of services in a single location. Significant institutions include Texas Tech University, Veteran’s Hospital, Baptist Saint Anthony’s Hospital, and Northwest Texas Healthcare System. Texas Tech University has a consolidated 20-acre Medical Center comprising the schools of pharmacy, medicine, and allied health located in Amarillo. The pharmacy and medical research have brought in millions of research dollars to Amarillo from several health organizations and pharmaceutical companies. Amarillo is home to a Veteran’s Hospital with 55 beds The VA also houses a veteran’s nursing home. Baptist Saint Anthony’s Hospital (BSA), is a general medical and surgical hospital in Amarillo with 445 beds.

CITY OF AMARILLO ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS Sixth Street Sixth Street in Amarillo is Texas’ most intact collection of commercial buildings possessing significant associations with early Route 66. With over 100 antique shops, restaurants, and bars, this area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This section of street represents the roadside architecture and development produced by the first transcontinental highway linking mid-America to the west coast. The Sixth Street Enhancement Project consists of landscaping, beautification, and historic preservation. A Route 66 mural is in place and a landscaped gateway near the Georgia Street entrance welcomes visitors. Rails to Trails Project A construction contract was awarded to Fuller Construction of Amarillo for $2.6 million to complete the construction of a 3.88-mile section of the Amarillo Rails to Trails Project. The multi-purpose trail, which th serves as a linear park, extends from the intersection of SW 7 Avenue and Crockett Street to Coulter Street. A special dedication/grand opening was held in April of 2005. The trail was named the Rock Island Rail Trail in order to give recognition to the historical significance of the railroads that once traveled this section of the City. In April of 2015, the City of Amarillo developed a specific Master Plan for the Amarillo Rock Island Rail Trail (Phase II). The project originated with a desire to increase the use of the existing Trail by improving safety and connectivity. The Rock Island Rail Trail Master Plan seeks to build on prior efforts by advancing the long-term development of the Trail as a true multi-modal transportation system within Amarillo’s overall transportation system.

Amarillo-Potter Events District On January 17, 1989, the voters of the City of Amarillo and Potter County approved a venue project along with the corresponding tax levies. The approved project consists of an expansion of the Civic Center convention facility and the construction of the Tri-State Fairgrounds Event Center. The Tri-State Fairgrounds Event Center (officially the Amarillo National Center) is used for community events including rodeos, livestock shows, agricultural expositions, promotional events and other civic or charitable events. The facility has 5,000 permanent seats and is designed to complement, not compete with, the existing Civic Center facility. Strategic Action Plan for Downtown In 2008, the City of Amarillo adopted the Strategic Action Plan for Downtown Amarillo after almost two years of research and community meetings. The Plan covers a large area from the railroad tracks north th of downtown, to 12 Avenue on the south, and from the east railroad tracks to Washington/Adams Street on the west. This accounts for nearly a 116-square block area. Recommendations in the Plan included the formation of a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, which was established in 2006 and a proposed Business Improvement District for downtown. Other goals in the plan include developing approximately 400 to 600 new housing units in Downtown, attract multiple retail centers, draw family-friendly venues, develop one or more quality hotels with at least 300 rooms to support and meet needs of the revitalized downtown area, and retain and grow Downtown as a financial, business, and government center. Related to the above, the City adopted the Downtown Amarillo Urban Design Standards, an overlay zoning district, in 2010 to provide guidance for modifications to building exteriors, walkways, landscaping and signage within downtown. These standards are to aid in protecting downtown property owners’ investments by providing for quality redevelopment in a safe, attractive, pedestrian-friendly environment, producing a better livable downtown. A Local Government Corporation Board was formed to encourage, implement, and manage downtown projects. This board will explore the feasibility of potential projects as well as expedite and facilitate construction of City projects. Completed downtown development/redevelopment projects include: 

The above graph compares actual 2016/2017 revenues to budgeted 2017/2018 and budgeted 2018/2019. Sales tax makes up the largest portion of General Fund revenue for the 2018/2019 fiscal year at 32%, followed by property taxes at 22%. Actual sales tax receipts, including mixed beverage sales tax, for the 2016/2017 fiscal year were down slightly at $56.4 million, and are projected to increase slightly to approximately $57.8 million for the 2017/2018 fiscal year. We have increased them to $59.2 million for the 2018/2019 budget year. Business receipts and sanitation receipts account for approximately 26% of total General Fund budgeted revenue for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. All other revenue categories make up approximately 20% of total revenue.

During the 1990/1991 fiscal year a ½ cent sales tax increase was implemented. After implementing the additional ½ cent, sales tax revenue became one of the most significant revenue source compromising 13% of total City funds and 32% of the General Fund revenue. Sales tax revenue has remained extremely strong for the City. After a slight dip in 2016/2017 fiscal year, projections for the 2017/2018 fiscal year have increased approximately 2.70% over 2016/2017, and projections for the 2018/2019 fiscal year have been budgeted with a slight increase of 2.46% over the 2017/2018 revised estimate.

ESTIMATED

From 1990 to 1994 the City’s tax base eroded. However, during this period other revenue sources, especially the sales tax revenue, mitigated this decrease in property values. During 1995, the tax base increased over the previous high 1991 level by 2.6%. Annually from 1995, the City has seen modest increases in the tax base, which is reflected in the above graph with slight yearly property tax collection increases. We expect this trend towards higher tax base values to continue and expect to see a modest increase in property values next year. During May of 2000, City of Amarillo voters approved a 12% pay increase for Police Officers and Fire Fighters and a corresponding 20% property tax increase, which will be used to fund the 12% salary increase. Also during the 2000 fiscal year, voters approved the issuance of General Obligation bonds to pay for the construction of a new library branch.

Mission The Amarillo Fire Department’s mission is to protect our community by providing the highest quality of compassionate and professional services.

Strategic Approach The Amarillo Fire Department (AFD) fulfills our mission by providing emergency response and fire prevention services to the citizens of our city. The AFD is structurally organized into Fire Administration, Fire Operations, Fire Support, and the Fire Marshal’s Office (FMO) to provide oversight and management of our 11 service delivery programs. The City’s size, 14th largest in the state, and its remoteness from other large populations requires AFD to be strategically, tactically, and technically capable of mitigating all types of emergencies. AFD’s approach to manage this responsibility is to maintain a highly‐trained, well‐equipped workforce. This is reflected in the budget requests for FY18. A specific example of this type of budget prioritization was seen in FY17 when the AFD enhanced the Wildland Program’s ability to prevent, mitigate, and respond to these types of emergencies. One of the most public displays of this occurred in January 2018 when the department conducted its first ever prescribed burn to help protect a wildland‐urban interface area in south Amarillo. It is not enough that the AFD merely provide emergency response. The Fire Department must be proactive in preventing fire and life safety emergencies from occurring. The strategic approach to accomplishing this goal is to provide code enforcement, fire investigations, mitigation of hazards such as reducing wildland‐urban interface vegetation, and presenting safety training and information to the public through community engagement activities. It is also critical the Fire Department be flexible enough to accept and adapt to changes that enhance capabilities to better serve the citizens. The AFD will address this through the eight Council Pillars, 145


particularly the Public Safety Pillar, outlined in the BluePrint for Amarillo. In FY18, the AFD will complete the national accreditation process through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). The AFD will use information developed in the process to establish operational goals that meet the ever‐increasing demand for fiscally sound, data‐driven performance services to our community. AFD staff believes in and supports the development of a more diverse work force as identified in the BluePrint for Amarillo and further detailed in the Department’s 2017‐2022 Strategic Plan. This is and will be a primary focus for AFD staff as we continue to build on our relationships with the leaders of the community and local academic institutions to bring cultural diversity into the City’s and region’s fire service.

Mission The Animal Management & Welfare department promotes the health and safety of the community through enforcement and sheltering services for stray, lost and unwanted animals in Amarillo. Animal Management & Welfare enforces City ordinances and state laws pertaining to animals. The department investigates potential cases of rabies and other zoonotic diseases. Public education is provided as available to encourage and promote responsible pet ownership, promote adoptions, proper care of animals, and spay/neutering for animal health and population control. Animal Management & Welfare provides supportive services to the Amarillo‐Panhandle Humane Society to facilitate adoptions, rescue transfers, and increased levels of fostering. The goal of the facility is to ensure the most humane outcome for the animals that come through the entire facility and thus benefit the entire community.

Strategic Approach Animal Management & Welfare fulfills its mission through a compliance approach to delivering services. This approach aligns with the Council Pillar of Customer Service by demonstrating that a governmental department is working with the citizens it serves to remedy issues. The facility will continue to strive to consistently meet the nationally accepted Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare. Animals, as voiceless elements of the community, need trained professionals to advocate for their ultimate wellbeing and the most humane outcome for them. As part of striving to meet nationally recognized best practices, the department’s staff utilizes available resources to achieve the highest reasonable level of professional services possible. The department continues to evaluate current industry standards with perspective to current operations then adjusts accordingly to stay relevant to the national industry as well as to ensure best practices are consistently employed. Through constant evaluation, Animal Management & Welfare will stay aligned with the City’s practices and ultimate goals of aiding strategic areas of our city with enhanced coverage from available resources. Best practices have staff members being provided with the most reasonable resources and 153


training that will lay the foundation for them to grow and develop into community and animal ambassadors which increases the level of Customer Service, Fiscal Responsibility, and community trust. As the Bond Projects come underway these projects will start to facilitate the facility coming inline with what the community has requested with regards to the care and upkeep of the animals. Year 1 will be the most critical of all the years with infrastructure being installed and a medical treatment building. The remaining projects: development of the sally port, employee building, drive thru barn, and dog exercise runs will occur in subsequent years. As critical as the infrastructure improvements are, staff will need to be increased for them to come online for any benefit to be seen. 2018 Fiscal Year Preparation: The key performance indicators are identified from the first years of statistical gathering. Having baseline statistics to work from continue to allow management to proactively adjust policies and procedures to keep the department’s operation in line with the BluePrint for Amarillo. The 2018 Budget as presented is reflective of the reduced operational footprint to bring operations more in line with what the budget actually supports. Operations will continue to be adjusted as necessary to accommodate restraints. The desired outcome of the department is to decrease the number of animals that are entering the shelter and to increase the number of animals that are reclaimed by their owners. These can be evaluated with the current statistic reporting. The community’s animal issues can start to be addressed on a permanent basis as the department works for compliance through education and enforcement. The department’s needs have been documented over numerous budget cycles and continue to go unmet. Per Assistant City Manager Kevin Starbuck all Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare’s Supplemental requests for 2018/19 shall be documented via a memo with a notation in the official budget narrative. The following pages outline the department’s need:      

Programs Administration & Community Outreach 2018/19 Budget ‐ $614,466 The Administration component of Animal Management & Welfare is comprised of two Intake Specialists, one Administrative Technician, one Volunteer Coordinator, one Office Manager, one Assistant Director and one Director. Administration processes all intakes and reclaims paperwork, handles citizen calls and inquiries, renders verdicts on Dangerous Animal Investigations and ensures the overall successful operations of the Community Compliance/Enforcement, Shelter Management and Community Outreach Components of Animal Management & Welfare. The expense of Administration can be allocated 50/50 to Community Compliance/Enforcement and Shelter Management. Community Outreach is Animal Management & Welfare’s component that attempts to break the cycle of animal issues within the community through education. Community Outreach is geared for adults and 154


children to educate them on the proper ways of taking care of animals. These education presentations are given in schools and at various public events. This component also offers microchipping for those that cannot normally afford microchips via the local veterinarian community. The Community Outreach component has no designated funds as it is facilitated by drawing from staffing and resources from the Community Compliance/Enforcement and Shelter Management components. Community Outreach works to support the Customer Service and Excellence in Communication aspects of the City Council’s Pillars. Performance Measures/Indicators:

Community Compliance/Enforcement 2018/19 Budget — $1,228,934 Community Compliance/Enforcement encompasses the field component of Animal Management & Welfare. Animal Management & Welfare officers respond to citizen complaints and inquiries. The primary function is that of Public Safety through securing of loose animals and investigating animal bites. Animal Management & Welfare officers investigate complaints of animal neglect and when possible educate citizens on the proper husbandry methods. Animal Management & Welfare officers also work to put citizens in connection with possible community resources that would prevent those animals from entering the shelter setting. These resources are not always available but utilized as a form of diversion for animals when possible. Approximately 54% of the Animal Management & Welfare yearly budget is utilized to cover the Community Compliance/Enforcement component of Animal Management & Welfare. Community Compliance/Enforcement works to support the City Council’s Pillars of Public Safety, Fiscal Responsibility, Customer Service, and Excellence in Communication.

Shelter Management 2018/19 Budget — $1,204,909 Shelter Management encompasses the in‐house component of Animal Management & Welfare. Shelter staff provide all of the care and cleaning of the shelter for the animals in its care. Biosecurity is the highest concern to the shelter as sick animals are not desirable for adoption or reclaim. Therefore, shelter staff strive for the highest level of sanitation possible. The shelter also provides a centralized location for citizens that are missing their animals to come and look for them and reclaim them once located. The shelter offers microchipping for citizens’ animals in an effort to provide a permanent form of identification to increase the likelihood of reunification in the event their animal becomes lost. Many citizens are unable to pay for the cost of euthanasia via normal routes. Therefore, Animal Management & Welfare offers this service to these citizens so the animals do not suffer. Approximately 46% of the Animal Management & Welfare yearly budget is utilized to cover the Shelter Management component. Shelter Management works to support the City Council’s Pillars of Civic Pride, Public Safety, and Customer Service.

Mission To provide rapid and accurate responses to emergency requests with professionalism, compassion and competence; to promptly answer, enter and dispatch calls for service; to gather and relay information accurately and professionally while processing calls for service.

Strategic Approach The Amarillo Emergency Communication Center (AECC) is the answering point for emergency and non‐ emergency public safety services. AECC provides law enforcement, fire and medical pre‐arrival instructions and provides response to animal management issues. AECC prioritizes calls for service and dispatches to public safety responders. During major events, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) coordinates mutual aid requests for public safety entities. To ensure alignment with the City’s values, goals and mission, which includes support of the BluePrint for Amarillo, the AECC has identified several objectives which will improve its ability to serve the Amarillo community. These goals include working on national standards for employee and agency certifications; taking measures to achieve national accreditation; developing Best Practices for personnel time management programs providing the most efficient use of the workforce; establishing a comprehensive Safety and health program, including physical, nutritional, emotional and mental health resources; and pursuing industry‐related Technology advances in both hardware and software, such as enhanced 9‐1‐1, text to 9‐1‐1, next‐gen radio/dispatch systems, and improvements in Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD) software. The AECC is mandated by the Texas 9‐1‐1 Emergency Number Act (Chapters 771 & 772, Health & Safety Code) which requires counties and/or municipalities to provide three digit (911) dialing State Law to provide 911 services. The Potter‐Randall 9‐1‐1 District provides funding to the AECC in support of their mission: “to provide an efficient, effective enhanced 9‐1‐1 emergency telecommunications system … in response to police, fire 159


and medical emergency calls.” The 9‐1‐1 District funding is shown as a revenue source in the AECC budget. The AECC also collects revenue from Amarillo Medical Response (AMR) to provide dispatch services for their ambulance service.

Programs AECC Administration/Support 2018/19 Budget — $353,277 The AECC Administration/Support Program is responsible for the information coordination management between each public safety department supported within AECC. Specific responsibilities include budgeting, time‐keeping and payroll, policy and procedure development, personnel administration, responding to various requests for public records, as well as data collection and analysis for all public safety departments supported by the AECC.

Mission To professionally administer the policies and directives established by the Mayor and City Council and perform those organizational duties and responsibilities prescribed in the Amarillo City Charter. The City of Amarillo operates under the Council‐Manager form of government and, as such, through the delegation and administration of his/her staff members, the City Manager directs, coordinates and facilitates the effective and cost‐efficient delivery of all municipal services to the citizens of Amarillo.

Strategic Approach With guidance and direction from the Mayor and City Council, the City Manager of Amarillo will develop, promote, and execute strategies that will provide for an attractive, economically vibrant, healthy and safe environment for the citizens of Amarillo and its visitors. Together with the executive team and department directors, the City Manager will develop, promote, and implement programs and policies that will broadly support these strategies and motivate all full‐ and part‐time employees. As part of this process, the City Manager and staff will continue to cooperate and communicate with the various governmental entities, community boards, commissions, economic development entities, non‐profits, civic organizations, school district, and other community partners to achieve success and be recognized as a progressive “Best Practice City.” The City adopted the BluePrint for Amarillo initiative, which sets a comprehensive strategic direction for the City Government in terms of focus, allocation of resources, and priorities. During this process, the Mayor and City Council identified eight Pillars of Future Vision they wish the City Manager to address in a comprehensive manner:  

Public Safety Economic Development and Redevelopment 189


     

Civic Pride Highly Educated Population Fiscal Responsibility Customer Service Excellence in Communication Transportation

In addition to the Council Pillars, the City Council identified four City Manager Initiatives to support the City Council Pillars:    

Commitment to Safety Implementation of Best Practices Promote Innovation and Customer Service Public Service and Engagement

As a result of adopting the BluePrint for Amarillo, organized work groups, focused around each pillar, have met to develop a framework for each pillar—identifying critical tasks and potential projects, establishing timelines, assessing the fiscal impact, and “reaching out” to the community for input. This process has played a key role in laying the foundation for the presentation of this budget to the City Council and citizens of Amarillo.

Mission Identify, procure, implement, and support the highest value technologies and services for the City of Amarillo, its citizens and employees. Innovate new methods of better serving the community through the use of technology.

Strategic Approach The City of Amarillo IT strategy is firmly rooted in the application of Blueprint Amarillo, City Council initiatives, City Manager initiatives, and best practices to every aspect of the IT mission. In the contemporary digital age, IT and the technology infrastructure are the innovation engine for local governments to better serve citizens efficiently and effectively with transparency, collaboration, and increased citizen involvement. To better meet the stated mission, The City of Amarillo IT Division is executing a long‐term infrastructure plan to migrate to an “Enterprise IT as a service” model of operation. That model is based and measured by industry best practices on the principles of stability, security, efficiency, and agility. IT began the Long‐term plan for architecture last year by addressing imbalance between operating and capital budgets. The additional capital that was attained in the restructure of IT has been invested in massive infrastructure upgrade projects. This year will be consumed with the implementation of the new consolidated services into a virtualized environment that will greatly increase efficiency and decrease operational overhead. We believe that with a consolidated architecture and adequate toolset in place, IT will be able to move focus to open source and innovative options to control cost and deliver outstanding support for the needs of today and the innovations for the future.

The division assists all levels of management and employees to maintain safety programs and practices that will ensure the safe and effective completion of City services, and reduce accidents and injuries. Risk Management seeks the best possible coverage for insurance needs versus self‐insurance. The division maintains high standards of compliance with the state of Texas requirements by paying medical bills on time, and accurately reporting information to the state. Risk Management also provides City departments with cost‐effective self‐insurance benefits.

Strategic Approach The Risk Management division is a support service to all City departments for the coordination and the administration of various claims generated from City operations. This includes workers' compensation, auto liability, general liability, and City property damage claims. This service also includes assistance with incident investigations, in‐service safety training programs, administering safety programs and policies, and developing and revising safety programs as needed. Risk Management also assists the Finance department in evaluating current insurance needs throughout the City. Existing policies are evaluated for coverage options and renewed as needed. The Risk Management Fund (also known as the Self‐Insurance Fund) provides coverage for most of the City's exposures including general liability, workers’ compensation, employer's liability, police officer liability, public official liability, auto liability, and auto physical damage. The Risk Management Fund purchases property insurance (including boiler and machinery), police office liability, and malpractice insurance for our clinic; it also carries excess workers’ compensation insurance. The City generally has very high deductibles or self‐insurance reserves with purchased coverage. State law protects the City with an overall liability limit of $250,000 per occurrence; therefore, the City has not purchased excess coverage for auto or general liability. 261


In line with the City Council’s eight pillars initiative, outlined in the 2018 BluePrint for Amarillo, the Risk Management Fund seeks to analyze all departments' policies and functions to better utilize loss prevention techniques as an everyday departmental function. Employee Safety is a priority included in the City Manager’s initiatives to reduce expenditures for injuries, property damages, and liability that directly affects the City’s available funds. An effective and Best Practice Safety Management System is vital to reduce these expenditures. While Safety programs have predictable costs, claims losses do not. Claims costs can fluctuate a high degree from year‐to‐year due to large, sometimes catastrophic, losses. The budget for the following programs is based on averages and trends in each area over a period of time.

Programs Claims Management 2018/19 Budget — $309,103 Risk Management maintains accurate and informative claim files on City losses, monitors progress, and coordinates reasonable settlements. This program summarizes and analyzes accident history and losses for trends and effectively implements loss control measures; analyzes all departments' policies and strives to better utilize loss prevention techniques as an everyday departmental function; and analyzes all insurance policies for effective coverage and policy terms, thus reducing the risk of large shock losses. Performance Measures/Indicators: 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Actual Estimated Projected Total Claims Processed 620 390* 375  The reduction was due to outsourcing current workers’ compensation claims beginning June 2017

Self‐Insurance General 2018/19 Budget — $606,092 Risk Management transitioned workers’ compensation claims handling to a third party administrator in June 2017 for all injuries that occur on or after 06/12/2017. This change is anticipated to reduce workers’ compensation claims costs by better utilizing network savings and applying best practices to more effectively provide cost control measures.

Unemployment Claims 2018/19 Budget — $75,656 The City is self‐insured for unemployment claims. Risk Management found that changing regulations forced employers to provide a high level of representation and cooperation with the state. As a result, Risk Management partnered with Equifax Workforce Solutions for several services including representation at hearings at all levels, preparation of cases and responses of complex employment actions with the state. These claims are handled by the Human Resources department. Performance Measures/Indicators:

2018/19 Projected 40 97%

Fire and Extended Coverage 2018/19 Budget — $807,237 The City has purchased a Property Insurance policy that covers all of the City’s property. On June 1, 2018, Risk Management renewed the insurance through Affiliated Factory Mutual Insurance. There is now a 5% wind and hail deductible per location, with a policy limit of $600,000,000 per occurrence. For losses less than the deductible, the claims are handled in‐house by the Risk Management department as property loss occurrences. Performance Measures/Indicators: 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Actual Estimated Projected Claims Processed 70 65 65 Premium for Property Policy $650,000 $630,000 $900,000* Other Property losses $250,000 $250,000 $250,000  Premium increase anticipated at renewal due to changes in state‐wide insurance losses causing hardening market by decreasing coverage and increasing deductibles and premium.

Workers Compensation 2018/19 Budget — $3,027,202 This program grows and sustains the City’s Safety Management System, which emphasizes an improved Safety culture and reduced incidents and injuries; it also provides the cultural support needed for a Best Practice Safety Management System. A workplace Safety program reduces the risks of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. A Safety program also results in cost savings in numerous areas, including lower workers’ compensation costs and overall medical expenses, fewer lost work days, a reduction in the costs to train replacement employees, and a reduction in impact on crew workload related to overtime 263


and downtime caused by injuries and property damage. A work environment with a strong Safety culture prevents accidents, which results in improved productivity and employee satisfaction. The Injury Incident Rate is the number of injuries per 100 full‐time employees; the average for Public Administration is 7.9 as provided by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 2017. The City Manager has listed Safety as a priority in order to address the City’s incident rate. Performance Measures/Indicators: 2016/17 Actual $544,367 408 $2,261 98% 12.0 $1,360,412

General Liability 2018/19 Budget — $443,385 General Liability is liability to a third party for the City’s negligence that does not arise from the use of a City motor vehicle. Examples would be City employees digging to repair a water main and accidentally cutting some other service line, someone slipping and falling in one our City buildings, or a sewer backing up into a citizen’s home.

Mission The mission of the Amarillo Public Library is to enhance knowledge, empower individuals, and enrich the community.

Strategic Approach The Amarillo Public Library system, consisting of five physical locations and an interactive website, strives to provide a central source of information, materials, and services for citizens of all ages. This primary purpose aligns with aspirations for the community set forth in the Highly Educated Population Council Pillar in the BluePrint for Amarillo. Managing a collection comprised of almost half a million items, the Library acquires materials and online resources intended to support lifelong learning; skills attainment and career advancement; cultural pursuits; historical research; and leisure reading, listening and viewing. Employing principles and practices set forth in the Customer Service Council Pillar, the Library offers more than 1,500 programs each year and provides a wide variety of services that link people with resources, produces opportunities for individual self‐development, supplements formal educational programs, and inspires civic engagement. The Library also positively impacts local Economic Development and Redevelopment efforts by providing tools and assistance that bolster workforce development and support small businesses. To achieve the highest performance levels associated with the objectives and responsibilities outlined above, the Amarillo Public Library measures its operations against benchmarks provided by two major assessors in the state: the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association (TMLDA). Yearly accreditation through TSLAC qualifies Texas public libraries for several programs available through state and federal funding, such as the TexShare card, the TexShare subscription databases, the Interlibrary Loan system, and certain competitive grants. In order to be accredited, libraries must demonstrate via an annual report that they meet criteria in several categories, including: access to services, maintenance of effort through local operating expenditures (meeting or exceeding per capita minimums set by the state), and staff qualifications. To receive 285


recognition by TMLDA each year, public libraries have to demonstrate excellence in ten categories: provision of summer reading programs; service to underserved populations; enhanced service during the past year either through increase in service or a change in type of services; current marketing materials; support of workforce development; cultural and educational programming for adults and families; literacy support; collaborative efforts; staff training; and digital inclusion for all. Continuing to meet or exceed the qualifications set forth by TSLAC and TMLDA not only places the department in compliance with the City Manager’s initiative of Implementation of Best Practices in the BluePrint, but also helps to ensure citizens are better prepared to meet the challenges of a society increasingly driven by technology and information.

Mission To enhance the quality of life for Amarillo citizens through quality parks, programs, and people.

Strategic Approach The function of the Recreation Services division is to plan, develop, and deliver quality municipal recreation services and events that meet the needs of the community. Operations related to the Recreation Services division consist of Summer Park Recreation, Marketing, Special Events, Tennis, Aquatics, and the Charles E. Warford Activity Center. Summer Park Recreation provides a free structured and supervised recreation program at 17 parks and throughout the City. Participants, ages 5 to 13, receive a free lunch each day and on Fridays take home a Snack Pak for the weekend, made possible by an expanded public/private partnership program. The City provides the foundation of the program with the leadership personnel, supplies, and support while the tremendous support of community partners supplement the program with food, clothes, hygiene items, and volunteer hours, as well as in‐kind and financial support. The Summer Park Recreation Program also provides free sports camps including soccer, football, basketball, and tennis. Program sites are located in areas of need within the community and assist to address those Disadvantaged Areas as it relates to recreation and athletic programming. Marketing strives to increase public awareness of our programs and events through print materials, live radio remotes, radio ads, website development, social media, web commercials, texting, billboards, and attendance at job fairs and expos. Special Events, hosted at both parks and pools, are offered through the division currently. Twelve events are offered annually on average. Most events are free of charge and provide an excellent opportunity to provide and promote affordable family activities. 299


Tennis programming is offered at the Amarillo National Tennis Center, which includes 17 lighted courts, with 3 covered from the elements. A strong partnership with the Amarillo Area Tennis Association augmented with both City and contract staff provides tennis opportunities to the community by offering lessons, leagues, and tournament play combined with a robust youth tennis program made possible by the recent partnership with Kids Incorporated and the Alex O’Brien Foundation. Aquatics (Swimming Pools) currently operates 3 outdoor seasonal swimming pools, and 1 indoor year‐ round pool at Charles E. Warford Activity Center offering open swim, family nights, swim lessons, daytime and private parties, and programs such as Jr. Guard. It provides quality facilities and services in a safe aquatic environment for everyone to enjoy, and promotes water safety awareness in the community through school and community presentations. The budget reflects the addition of the first indoor swimming pool located at the Charles E. Warford Activity Center. This budget supports and allows for aquatic program expansion, both youth and adult, to a year‐round operation increasing overall aquatic participation in programs and events. Opened January 20, 2018, the Charles E. Warford Activity Center provides a wide variety of affordable opportunities for all ages and abilities to participate in recreation, fitness, aquatic, educational, social, and sport‐based programs. This is the first recreation center owned and operated by the City and will provide us with a facility that includes a full‐sized gymnasium, fitness rooms, commercial kitchen, programming space, and an indoor pool for implementation of a year‐round aquatic program. This facility will serve youth to seniors and will assist in addressing Disadvantaged Areas and Youth Athletic Program Facility and Program deficiencies related to Council initiatives.

Mission Park Maintenance strives to enhance the quality of life for Amarillo citizens through quality parks, programs, and people. To provide a high level of maintenance related to parks and facilities through efficient and safe practices that exceed the expectations of the Amarillo citizens. Evaluate, prioritize, and implement needed repairs and improvements to existing park grounds, park facilities, athletic fields, and municipal building grounds.

Strategic Approach The Park Maintenance department provides maintenance and care to park grounds and facilities throughout the entire Parks and Recreation system. Included are municipal building grounds, street corridors, and traffic islands. This is accomplished by executing tasks and maintenance activities designed to produce a quality product for the safety and enjoyment of the public. Park Maintenance supports the City of Amarillo Winter Weather Operations by clearing snow and ice from parking lots and sidewalks around public buildings and by keeping the truck entrances clear at the Fire Stations. Park Maintenance supports the general mission and goals as set forth by the Parks and Recreation division. Park Maintenance fulfills its mission by continually inspecting, repairing, and renovating its areas of responsibility to ensure clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing parks and facilities. These components are a key part of maintaining the entire parks infrastructure and commitment to enhance Community Appearance. Park Maintenance also supports the BluePrint for Amarillo through maintenance and continued improvement of parks in Disadvantaged Areas and though the ongoing maintenance of athletic facilities utilized for Youth Athletics. The Parks and Recreation division will begin a Park Master Plan revision starting in 2017 to best set future renovation and development while assisting to identify those areas that meet national standards for parks and what areas may be deficient. Once completed and adopted, the revised Master Plan will be the foundation to seek National Accreditation as recognized by the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies. 305

Mission To enhance the quality of life for Amarillo citizens through quality parks, programs, and people. To enhance visitor experience through first‐class animal displays, educational programming, and special events while incorporating the highest level of animal care, education, and conservation initiatives. Evaluate, prioritize, and implement needed repairs and improvements to existing Zoo exhibits, facilities, and grounds.

Strategic Approach The proposed budget allows Zoo Animal staff to operate the Zoo, care for the animals, and maintain the facilities related to animal care. The Zoo Visitor Service/Education staff operates the admission/concession areas, educational programs, and special events. The primary goal for Zoo staff is to provide quality care for the animals, grounds, and structures to continually improve and update existing operations and exhibits to provide the most enjoyable experience possible for the visiting public. This is accomplished by executing tasks and animal care activities designed to produce a quality product for the safety and enjoyment of the public. Zoo Maintenance supports the general mission and goals as set forth by the Parks and Recreation division. Zoo staff is responsible for animal care and management, facility maintenance, conservation initiatives, and visitor services. Zoo staff utilizes all available resources to achieve a high level of animal care, customer satisfaction, and overall safety at the Amarillo Zoo. This budget addresses the Best Practice initiative by providing and supporting additional technologies available to Zoo staff to provide the most current training available. Staff fulfills the Zoo’s mission by continually inspecting, repairing, and renovating its areas of responsibilities to ensure well‐cared‐for animals and a clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing zoo. The Amarillo Zoo, along with our Zoo Friends Support Organization, will continue fundraising effort in 2018/2019 budget year to help improve the children’s area located within the Zoo. These funds will go 309


towards new animal displays, contact area, educational items, and improved animal housing. These additions/renovations will help provide the visiting public with the highest quality zoo experience possible.

Mission To enhance the quality of life for Amarillo citizens through quality parks, programs and people.

Strategic Approach The Athletic division plans, coordinates, markets, implements, supervises and evaluates the adult basketball, softball and volleyball programs for Amarillo citizens and surrounding communities. The division manages and trains staff along with contract officials and scorekeepers, to provide the highest level of game management and excellent customer service to program participants. The Athletics division accepts registration and collects entry fees for approximately 1,300 adult sport teams annually. The Athletic division schedules these teams each year and publishes game schedules for approximately 9,000 games. Schedules and standings are provided electronically for the convenience of the participants. Athletic staff schedule and train sports officials and scorekeepers to officiate and score all sports offered including softball, volleyball and basketball. Staff provides awards for all leagues and tournaments and presents them formally at the end of each sport season or tournament. Staff prepares payment authorizations for each individual contract sport official and scorekeeper on a biweekly basis. All offered leagues and tournaments are registered with the appropriate sanctioning organization. Athletic staff also allocate city owned athletic facilities to five private adult sport providers and four youth sport organizations that utilize City sports fields for their program implementation. In addition, the Athletics division staff facilitates tournaments hosted by outside organizations. Staff invoices organizations for field usage and collects fees. The athletics division also schedules practices for adult sports teams and youth sport organizations and collects field rental fees. The Athletics division organizes three softball tournaments and one volleyball tournament annually, which delivers an economic impact for the City. The Athletic staff also facilitates sports tournaments from private user groups, invoices those groups and collects fees. 313


The Athletics division works closely with youth sport providing organizations to facilitate their utilization of the City’s athletic fields and facilities. Although not direct providers of youth sports, the division allocates space, provides resources and collaborates when necessary and requested to support the function of youth sport leagues and tournaments in the community. The Athletics division, without operational budget impact, will work diligently this upcoming year to implement via local providers identified sport league expansions and new program ideas as identified in the Pillars for Amarillo Youth Athletics initiative survey. Program expansions in PickleBall, Ultimate Frisbee, and Dodgeball will be explored as will new programs such as wrestling and boy’s volleyball. The department collaborates with the West Texas Youth Baseball Association to offer the Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit and Run Competition, which was held at the Rick Klein Baseball Complex the past two years.

This budget reflects requested funds for continued training to ensure that Best Practices in athletics management are implemented. Athletic employees are expected to complete a two year training to obtain certification as a Certified Professional Sports Manager. The Athletics department staff will continue to attend meetings, workshops and conferences of the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (T.A.A.F.), United States Sports Specialty Association (U.S.S.S.A.) and the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (T.R.A.P.S.) to keep current on trends in athletics, changes in sports rules and to place bids on sport tournaments to be held in Amarillo.

Mission To enhance the quality of life for Amarillo citizens through quality parks, programs, and people.

Strategic Approach The Senior Services program proposed transitions from study and planning to implementation by establishing the Amarillo Center Without Walls. The transition is based upon the recommendation of the 21st Century Senior Services Development Advisory Board after completion of the 2018 “Active Adult 50+ Programming Needs Assessment and Facility Feasibility Study” and 2015 “Blueprint for 21st Century Senior Centers” report. The establishment of the Amarillo Center Without Walls is an initial step in addressing the Economic Development and Redevelopment and Civic Pride Pillars outlined in “Blueprint for Amarillo – Vision for the Future of Amarillo.” An Amarillo Center Without Walls will assist in improving the quality of life “offering modern housing, cultural, and recreational options for all ages.” (Page 13) and embracing culture, arts and recreation (Page 19) as well as enhancing health and wellness of our city’s citizens. Senior Services within the Parks and Recreation Department began with the July 2016 execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Amarillo, Amarillo Area Foundation, Baptist Community Services, and the Mary E. Bivins Foundation. The MOU partnership was a result of an extensive study titled “Blueprint for 21st Century Senior Centers.” The 2014‐15 study process began in response to community concerns about rapidly shrinking resources endangering the Amarillo Senior Citizen Association. Numerous community organizations were represented on the study group and viewed the study process as a community‐wide opportunity to shape a larger conversation on regarding a better future for all seniors in Amarillo. The MOU provided funding over the two‐year development period (November 2016‐ October 2018) in the amount not to exceed $300,000 ($150,000 per year for operational expenses) from the foundations and a minimum of $200,000 (to cover personnel costs) from the City of Amarillo. The MOU required: 317


        

Establishment of a community‐based advisory/leadership structure in accordance with City policies and procedures tasked with overseeing the Blueprint Plan and its full implementation as well as subsequent ongoing operations. Employment of necessary professional leadership/personnel to implement the plan. Assessment of the need for a new senior center. Development of a structure for a cooperative network of centers and services (both public and private). Assessment of the viability of a center without walls concept that offers programs and services throughout the community in nontraditional locations and utilizes technology for a virtual center. Determination of a sustainable infrastructure which also leverages existing resources. Determination of sources and levels of sustainable financing. Development of an outline and summary of potential programs and facilities. Creation of awareness of the Blueprint Plan and its goals.

MOU requirements were accomplished through a workplan that included establishing the 21st Century Senior Services Development Advisory Board; completing a senior populations programming needs assessment; completing a senior center facility feasibility study; determining the feasibility of a cooperative network of centers/center without walls/virtual center; and providing community awareness/engagement opportunities throughout the two‐year development period. Both the Bluerpint study and the 2018 Active Adult 50+ Programming Needs Assessment and Facility Feasibility Study provided the basis for a final report recommending the establishment of a center without walls program. A center without walls is a community‐based service delivery model connecting participants to existing programs and services in nontraditional “senior” facilities, providing new services and programs utilizing existing community spaces, and creating a collaboration network of organizations, businesses and individuals committed to sharing and developing program and service resources. It is expected that a center without walls/virtual center will benefit the community in several ways. The center without walls concept will:       

Consistently connect citizens to existing programming and services across the community. Create opportunity to reach active adults/seniors not currently participating in programs and services. Provide programming and services that currently do not exist in the community to address health and wellness, economic security and connection to community issues for the active adult/senior population. Develop new collaboration and partnerships to better serve the community as well as a coordinated network of community based organizations, business and individuals committed to sharing and developing further program and service resources. Educate the community regarding the needs of its aging citizens. Connect aging citizens and their caregivers to resource information. Efficiently use existing resources to effectively serve the growing active adult/senior population

The center without walls model proposed is primarily based upon the Gateway Seniors Without Walls program in Maine (www.gatewayseniorswithoutwalls.org). The specific goal and strategy of the Amarillo Center Without Walls is to maximize the health (physical, mental and spiritual) and wellness, economic security and connection to community for active adults (Age 50+) in and near Amarillo, Texas by: 318


  

connecting and engaging active adults 50+ with existing community programs and services, developing new services/programs for the age group, and creating a collaboration/program provider network to share and develop program and service resources.

Program components include: 

 

online community via the City of Amarillo – Parks and Recreation website (webpage, social media, event/activity calendar, registration of City directors programs/events/activities, links to program provider events/activities/registration, and resources directory with relevant links and information); low cost/no cost programs and services in nontraditional spaces delivered by the City to fill gaps in community programming as identified in the programming needs assessment; and community awareness and marketing of the branded Center Without Walls.

Mission Our Mission is to provide Safe, Reliable and Cost Effective Public Transportation services valued by Users, Non‐Users and Community Leaders.

Strategic Approach Amarillo City Transit (ACT) will focus on improving service to meets the priorities set forth in the Future Vision BluePrint for Amarillo by delivering customer focused public transportation services . ACT currently provides fixed route service within the city limits west of Lakeside Drive, Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. ACT provides Spec‐Tran service to individuals who qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Spec‐Trans operates in the same service area on the same days, and hours as fixed route service in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ACT service area encompasses 76 square miles. ACT implemented the Transit Master Plan route network in August 2018. The number of bus routes increased from eight to thirteen. Service is now more direct and more destinations are served with the new route structure including the Department of Motor Vehicles. Amarillo College has more direct service to all three campuses and the Hospital District has a new on demand service that provides offers circulation within the District. The number of routes serving the Westgate Mall has also increased. The FY 18/19 budget includes limited evening service. Operating hours will be extended to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday evenings. Service will operate like the Route 13 Hospital On Call service. Reservations for service will be taken the day before travel and same day reservations will be accepted on a space available basis. This allows us to control resources, maximize capacity and does not require that ADA complimentary service be offered since it is considered equally accessible service for all passengers. 325


Evening service is the second most request service improvement. Evening On Call is targeted at Amarillo College students, late clinic hours in the Hospital area and employment generators in Southwest Amarillo. ACT will continue to manage its resources responsibly building on the performance measures and targets implemented in last year’s budget. The successes and remaining challenges are discussed under each program narrative. FY17/18 focused on improving internal controls and efficiencies. FY18/19 will emphasize customer service and community outreach. The Transit budget has been reorganized to capture costs associated with each service and support function. Management and Administrative costs were previously captured in the 1761 program.

Programs 1761 Fixed Route Operations 2018/19 Budget — $ 3,106,032 ACT fixed route employs 30 Bus Operators and utilizes 16 buses to provide service on 12 routes and one on demand circulator. The Fixed Route Operating group has a program to track and improve On Time Performance (OTP). On time is defined as zero minutes early to 5 minutes late as shown on the public timetable. Missed trips are defined as trips not operating or operating over 20 minutes late and are a sign of service reliability. Missed trips occur when there are accidents, traffic delays or an operator no shows for an assignment and there are no substitute operators. ACT fixed route significantly improved service reliability in FY17/18 and will work to meet and exceed on time operations target in FY18/19. Improved service reliability and new bus routes will improve ridership numbers.

1762 Spec‐Trans Americans with Disabilities Required Service 2018/19 Budget — $ 1,863,619 Spec‐Trans utilizes 8 vehicles to provide curb‐to‐curb service to people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines who is eligible to use the service. Our eligibility screening process determines if an applicant can use fixed route some or all of the time. Applicants who have a disability but who are not prevented from using fixed route are not eligible for Spec‐Tran service. Panhandle Independent Living Center trains individuals to use ACT Fixed Route service. The ADA also prescribes how service is to be delivered. Anyone determined eligible may request a trip the day before they wish to travel and Spec‐Tran is required to provide a trip one hour before or after the requested time. Spec‐Trans cannot and does not deny anyone a trip. In FY17/18 Spec‐Tran focused on improving productivity. There is a relationship between on –time operations and productivity: generally the more on time the lower the productivity. Spec‐Trans Bus Operators are still adapting to new service goals. Service previously operated more like a taxi than a shared ride service. FY18/19 efforts will focus on increasing both passenger per hour productivity and on – time operations.

1763 Fleet Maintenance and Repair 2018/19 Budget — $798,694 The ACT Fleet Maintenance and Repair group performs routine and preventive maintenance and cleaning on 30 revenue vehicles and 7 support vehicles. In FY17/18 6 engines were replaced by an outside contractor. Major component repair and body work has traditionally been contracted. Because of the increased skills of ACT maintenance staff we were able to repair two additional engines in house and will be able to perform body work going forward. Staff has focused on reducing overall maintenance costs while maintaining an adequate spare ratio to reduce road calls and improve service reliability. 327


The ACT Bus Wash Facility was is at Level 1 ‐ in need of immediate repair, well past useful life and was inoperable for most of the year as defined by the Federal Transit Administration State of Good Repair requirements. ACT was able to replace the major components through a 100% grants from TXDOT. In FY18/19 ACT will be able to exceed the cleanliness goals. Staff will no longer have to manually clean the bus exteriors and can focus more on interior cleanliness and shelter maintenance. Maintenance staff made significant improvement in reducing road calls which aid in maintaining service reliability.

Clearly aligning programs with functions will permit better cost control. This group includes the Director, Assistant Director, a Management Analyst and an intern. The budget includes all the overhead activities including customer service, managing grant programs, federal compliance and safety. The Management Team focused on expending existing Federal and State Grants in FY17/18 for shelters, bus stop signs, maintenance equipment, break room and bathroom upgrades as well as developing specification for new vehicles and a fare study. ACT received a $100,000 grant from TXDOT to conduct a needs assessment for a new Transfer Terminal. Staff has prepared a Transit Asset Management Plan to comply with new federal requirements for managing assets in a State of Good Repair. In FY 18/19, ACT will reach the target for rolling stock

Mission To provide the public with a safe network of clean, well‐maintained streets and alleys at a cost‐effective price, through the utilization of Best Practices and first‐rate customer service.

Strategic Approach The Street Division currently maintains 1,032 miles of streets and 499 miles of alleys. Managing an aging and growing transportation system of this magnitude requires the utilization of Best Practices, Fiscal Responsibility, and an array of effective maintenance and pavement preservation programs. A pavement condition assessment, a Best Practice according to the American Public Works Association (APWA), was completed in 2017. The existing pavement condition of the City’s entire street network was evaluated and a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was established. A PCI is a numerical index between 0 and 100 which is used to indicate the general condition of a pavement. The average network PCI for our City’s streets was calculated to be 71, which is considered to be “Satisfactory” condition. The PCI data will enable surface treatments for streets to be selected based on existing surface conditions and prioritized accordingly. Furthermore, various recommendations provided by the assessment will aid in planning and coordination of future street maintenance programs and Capital Investment Projects. In conjunction with the pavement assessment, a pavement management system was also procured to enhance the Street Division’s ability to utilize the new PCI data, manage the division’s maintenance programs more effectively, and expand our capacity to deliver first‐rate Customer Service and Excellence in Communication to the citizens of Amarillo. Several street projects, funded by the 2016 bond election, were completed over the past year to address street maintenance and repair needs throughout the City. Additional projects are scheduled over the next four years to further address street maintenance needs, as well as, arterial reconstruction and Economic Development and Redevelopment. In 2018/2019, the Street Division will remain focused on delivering fiscally responsible programs aligned with the BluePrint for Amarillo and aimed at effectively maintaining the City’s Transportation Infrastructure, enhancing Civic Pride, and providing safer roadways for the public. 333

Mission To provide the City of Amarillo with effective and efficient traffic control devices that maximize safety, quality, and reliability, and minimize travel time, inconvenience, and expense for the traveling public and the taxpayers.

Strategic Approach The Traffic Field Operations Department works vigorously to follow Implementation of Best Practices and keep traffic equipment updated with the most up to date traffic equipment as possible, while still maintaining a signal network that works at a high level of efficiency. This network includes the installation, operation, and maintenance of all traffic control devices which include Traffic Signs (stop, yield, speed limit, parking restriction, street name, etc.); Traffic Signals; School Flashers; and Pavement Markings (stop bars, crosswalks, island tips, arrows, etc.). The department is also responsible for the maintenance of all TXDOT owned continuous lighting within the City limits and Pedestrian lighting in the Central Business District (CBD), which is part of the new continuous development of Downtown. The department is also responsible for operating the computerized signal system and school flasher system. These activities are accomplished using Traffic Field Operations Implementation of Best Practices along with nationally recognized standards and methods found in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TXMUTCD), Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and following within the guidance of Blueprint of Amarillo. The department has several performance measures that enable the department management to monitor daily, weekly and yearly work trends, quality of service, and make adjustments as needed; these allow us to update technology to improve efficiency with the Implementation of Best Practices. The department performs routine preventative maintenance on all traffic signal equipment and street lights once a year, and school flashers twice a year to reduce emergency repairs in order to protect current infrastructure by being Fiscally Responsible. The department also fabricates new signs and installs them as needed by TXMUTCD standards, Stripes all arterial streets on a yearly program, as well 341


as updated lane markings and island tips as required by the TXMUTCD. By following these best practices the Traffic Field Operations Department has set itself up to monitor the appropriate programs to align itself with the City’s Blueprint for Amarillo. This department is also responsible for the Capital Improvement Projects of New Traffic Signal Construction ($137,290) and Traffic Signal System Improvements ($309,000) from the Bond Proposition money. The traffic Department will change out 1/3 of the Cities LED Signal indications this year due to the 7 year life span they have reached, and continue over the next 2 years to finish changing the indications. Projects for the upcoming year will be the installation of the new Signalized Intersection of Soncy & Perry, which has met enough warrants to install and help eliminate the accidents of vehicles entering the intersection. Several intersections will be upgraded with new detection equipment and having the poles changed out due to mast arms being too short or pedestrian push buttons not being accessible. A new striper will help with the continuing challenge of striping arterial streets twice a year. The department will continue to work to keep a high standard and efficient process to keep or improve safe travel in Amarillo.

Mission Utility Billing strives to provide accurate billing on a timely basis to all customers with the highest regard for public satisfaction. To provide exceptional service to newcomers, visitors and residents so that they may experience a positive environment within the City of Amarillo, whether by phone or in person. To provide customer service that will exceed all expectations by listening to customers and responding to their needs in a professional, courteous and respectful manner.

Strategic Approach The City of Amarillo Utility Billing division is a high‐volume utility service separated into the following functional groups: Service, Credit/Collections, Cashiering, and Meter Reading. Vital Statistics is also supported within the Utility Billing division. Utility Billing is often the initial contact with the City of Amarillo for many individuals. It is the goal of the division to continue to cultivate quality service and to work with customers regarding underlying issues related to utility accounts in a timely and positive manner. The Utility Billing division continues to look for innovative solutions to fulfill the initiatives outlined in the BluePrint for Amarillo especially in relation to the Customer Service Pillar. The division is responsible for the production and distribution of all billing statements in a highly efficient manner and continues to look for new ways to accomplish these goals by investing time and efforts in the future implementation of billing software as well as call center upgrades that will help to improve satisfaction of service. It is evident that the division’s success depends on its ability to strengthen its current customer relationships. Billing solutions function as a critical touch point between utilities and their customers. With new technologies, utility bills can now serve as streamlined vehicles announcing new services and providing customized communications. Also, with the advancement of technology, the Utility Billing 359


division can communicate more effectively and directly with customers. This implementation could not only deliver operational efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction, but could potentially lower costs in the printing and distribution of more than 850,000 bills yearly by providing electronic access to customers via the internet.

Programs Utility Billing Administration and Support 2018/19 Budget — $127,660 This program provides support and accounts for the accurate and precise recording of information gathered from the reading, billing and collection of money for every meter within the City of Amarillo. The goal within the Administration and Support program is to improve responsiveness when dealing with customer issues as well as overall customer satisfaction. Wait times to speak with service representatives continue to be a common frustration. The Utility Billing division has made this issue an immediate priority and have been granted the opportunity to implement software solutions for improved customer feedback. It is believed that with the implementation of a call center software solution, the average wait time per customer should drastically reduce due to several methods of call back options and consistency per employee. These methods will create an electronic environment which could offer web chat, self‐serve portals and auto call back features. These additional forms of communication will assist the Utility Billing division in following Council Pillars by promoting efficient forms of communication to customers. It is the goal of the Utility Billing division to dedicate the timely implementation of call center and billing solutions to enhance and promote quality service within the City.

Utility Bill Production 2018/19 Budget — $917,654 This program is responsible for the production of more than 850,000 customer bills annually. Billings are processed on an average of three times per week based on the City’s 12‐meter reading cycles. Utility Billing produces the bills for not only Water and Sewer, but Drainage Utility and Solid Waste. The preparations of meter reading books are completed within a span of two days, and consist of the data entry of re‐reads and verifications. The production of bills takes approximately five hours and includes verification of data, calculation of bills, creating the billing journal, and distribution on bills. The future implementation of billing software as well as the addition of our Utility Billing Specialist will increase the accuracy and efficiency of bill production, auditing, and access to reports that will provide historical data. The Utility Billing Specialist will focus on detailed audits of customers’ accounts as well as 360


coordinating with the Meter Reader and Water Distribution staff members to assist customer concerns with minimal impact to customer billing. Implementation of new software will allow customers access to a self‐serve portal for convenience.

Utility Billing Customer Service 2018/19 Budget — $603,760 Utility Billing Customer Service staff is designated into two functional groups: Credit Services and New Connections. All staff members work towards the goal of providing quick and accurate service for customers at an exemplary level to improve customer satisfaction. Credit Service staff responds to requests for payment arrangements on current and past due accounts, as well as the issuance of service orders for reconnections and delinquent meter installations. Staff members within credit services distribute service orders regarding high bill investigations and work with customers who have experienced leaks by assisting with adjustments on bills. Applications and requests for fire hydrant meters and the collection of current readings for each fire hydrant customers are completed within credit services, as well. All final bills are produced within credit services and service outage calls are worked by all available staff members during regular business hours. New Connections staff responds primarily to requests for services regarding new, transfer and completion of service. Staff members interact with customers whose needs vary from simple billing questions to more complex investigations regarding establishment of services. New Connections staff also work with assisting other City departments in processing new tap orders. The calculation and application of illegal fees are also performed within Customer Service. With the implementation of new billing software, call center solution and the addition of our Trainer/Quality Assurance position, Utility Billing Customer Service staff will have the opportunity to provide quality service to the citizens of Amarillo as well as all those we encounter on a daily basis. Staff will have the ability to provide multiple types of arrangement options to customers. This may include the option of budget billing which will, in turn, reduce the number of broken arrangements. Customer Service staff will also benefit from call centers solutions by reducing the average wait time, but by also creating electronic service orders, which would increase the efficiency between the Utility Billing division and other departments such as Water Distribution. Customer satisfaction would increase due to the proper training and monitoring of timely responses to our customers when providing services. Electronic service orders would minimize the loss of paper orders in transfer and processing, as well as create efficient response times when identifying customer issues.

In addition to the collection of payments, staff members also provide reliable and accurate collection efforts including processing returned checks, as well as corresponding with customers regarding these items. Payment and Account Administration staff also accepts payment for the City of Amarillo Red Light Camera Violations as well as selling City bus tickets. All staff members are thoroughly trained in the importance of each transaction and accuracy when balancing daily transactions. With an updated software solution, it is the division’s expectation to experience an increase in the number of transactions submitted within the self‐serve portals and a reduction in the number of walk‐in customers assisted. Customers will utilize the electronic/automated features a new software solution could bring. Performance Measures/Indicators:

Meter Reading 2018/19 Budget — $901,134 Meter Reading staff are responsible for providing reliable and timely reads of approximately 72,500 meters monthly within the City. Daily routes are assigned to each staff member which contain, on average, 500 meters within a walking route to remain ahead of the billing cycle. All walking routes are completed within the first half of the workday and the remainder is designated to the completion of re‐ reads. All Meter Reading staff members work through a variety of elements and obstacles throughout their workday, such as encountering aggressive animals, the inability to gain access to meters for some unforeseen reason, and inclement weather. All staff members work through these elements and obstacles to contribute in the timely production of bills. With the addition of a Meter Reader Foreperson, the program has had the ability to reduce the amount of orders distributed to the Service Center and utilize in‐house staff to perform more efficiently. New handheld devices have assisted in the accuracy of reading without malfunctioning. With these tools, the division is gradually achieving its goal to improve the overall functions within the Meter Reader team. It is still our goal to continue to improve 362


in the percentage of actual readings and decrease within the number of estimated readings. It is the division’s prediction that with the increase in the accuracy of readings, the number of customer complaints will reduce, which will alleviate phone queue wait times.

Mission The water production division is dedicated to protecting public health in accordance with federal and state laws governing water quality. Our focus is to provide a constant supply of high quality low cost water that satisfies the ever‐changing demands of our customers.

Strategic Approach As a major city situated in the High Plains of Texas, a safe and reliable water supply has always been and will continue to be central to Amarillo’s viability, economy, and quality of life. Extreme weather patterns over the last decade have forced a recalibration of “normal” and an intensified reliance on groundwater sources. In response to these factors combined with a growing population, economy, and many other competing needs, the City of Amarillo is working with engineers, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to develop and implement its most proactive and comprehensive water system plan in its history to fully integrate supply, transmission, treatment, storage, and distribution while optimizing expenditures, staffing, and management of assets in correlation with the Blueprint for Amarillo initiatives of Fiscal Responsibility and Customer Service. Amarillo’s objective is to develop a vision with a fiscally responsible roadmap for the future by considering the current and future demands on the water system from residents, commercial interests, and fire fighting protocols. This will be an adaptable plan that can be used as the basis to match priorities and financial demands; addressing known issues, a response to growth, regulatory, and aging infrastructure triggers, and the tools to readily adapt and adjust as necessary. Customer service is primarily directed through system improvements in water quality, and meeting pressure and quantity demands. In addition, the water production division performs community engagement by taking complaint calls and solving issues in the distribution system such as, main breaks, sewer back‐ups, disconnected services and general utility inquiries with courtesy and professionalism. The water production division is also involved with the City’s conservation efforts with the Every Drop Counts campaign. Moreover, the staff works multiple events each year to promote community 371


awareness and education on water production and water conservation. Furthermore, we plan on developing our outreach efforts in the coming years with brochures and through the website. The staff of the Osage plant conducts educational plant tours for school groups. During the current budget year, projects were designed and completed to increase water quality and production capacity; we replaced an obsolete chlorine safety unit; repaired / replaced several wells; and added a system of baffles in our ground storage tanks to further increase water quality. In addition, programs have been initiated to pool utility resources to improve the working conditions and safety of our staff. Other curriculum we are working towards include: the development of a citywide flushing program, qualifying for the Texas Optimization Program, conducting a vulnerability assessment, and updating our Sample Monitoring Plan.

Mission The City of Amarillo Solid Waste Collection Division provides for the safe and efficient collection of residential and commercial solid waste within the City limits. The Solid Waste Collection Division ensures the health, safety, and welfare of residents, commercial customers, and employees while acting in compliance with state regulations and Amarillo Municipal Ordinances.

Strategic Approach The City Solid Waste Collection Division utilizes a fully automated, containerized trash collection system for the majority of residential and commercial customers. Residents in specific neighborhoods without alleys have curbside hand‐pickup collection of their solid waste. The City of Amarillo also has a curbside big/bulky collection program as well as coordinated alley collection program for limbs and big/bulky items. The existing multiple program operation strives to maintain Civic Pride by providing many solid waste collection services for the public in accordance with Best Practices.

Residential Collection Services 2018/19 Budget — $4,955,971 395


Currently, the City of Amarillo provides residential collection using side‐load dumpsters as well as curb‐ side bag collection in neighborhoods without alleys. Beginning in this budget year, the City of Amarillo, will start providing automated curb cart service to customers with dumpsters in front of their homes, those with dead‐end alleys or safety concerns, and customers currently receiving curbside hand collection. The City plans to begin with approximately 4,000 customers, adding another 4,000 mid‐year. Each 3‐cubic‐yard, side‐loader dumpster for solid waste disposal, will generally serve three to five households. At present, there are approximately 19,000 of the 3‐cubic‐yard, side‐loader dumpsters serving approximately 60,000 residences within the City limits. There are 3,200 residences that are on curb‐side trash bag collection service. The curb‐side collection is divided into five different rear‐loader truck routes.

Last year, the two Chipper Crews were merged with the Lightning Loader Collection Crews, and are now collecting the brush as well as the big and bulky within the alleys. 396


A Curbside Big & Bulky program was added during the previous budget year and allows customers to contact the Solid Waste Collection Division to schedule a pickup of big & bulky items from their curb. Once a customer calls Solid Waste, they are given a date to set out their items and the crew collects them from their curb. Do to the popularity of this program, the Solid Waste Collection Division anticipates changing the program within the budget year to allow for curbside collection days by neighborhood or zone.

Brush Sites & Composting 2018/19 Budget — $297,535 The City of Amarillo will be opening two brush sites for residents to dispose of their tree limbs and brush. These sites reduce the amount of limbs placed in the alleys by tree trimming contractors and residents. The brush and limbs at these two locations will be processed and transferred to the compost facility at the City of Amarillo Landfill. The tub grinder and operators, currently located at the landfill, will be used at the brush sites to grind the limbs and brush for transport. The new brush sites will provide organic material needed for the compost site at the landfill. The compost facility is another year away from having quality compost available for sale, but will utilized the materials collected from the City’s brush sites to grow this program. The compost site will allow the citizens and businesses of Amarillo to divert waste from the Landfill to the compost site, expanding the life of the Landfill.

The front‐end loader collection trucks collect 58% of the waste generated from commercial customers. Smaller businesses and apartment complexes utilize the smaller 3‐cubic‐yard side loading containers. Due to very competitive pricing from private commercial haulers with three year term contracts and national chain service agreements, the commercial collection service has seen a decrease in customers and service from past years. With the implementation of non‐exclusive franchise fees, the Solid Waste Collection Division will evaluate options to gradually withdraw from commercial collection services.

Mission Planning and Development Services works to enhance the quality of life for City of Amarillo citizens by providing services that encourage quality growth, development, and redevelopment in all areas within the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The Planning division accomplishes this through concentrated efforts related to short and long range planning principles, land use controls, and development review practices. The Metropolitan Planning Organization provides for the planning and development of the transportation network throughout the Amarillo Urban Transportation Study area in a continuous, cooperative, and coordinated manner. The Economic Development division has an emphasis on enhancing and expanding the City’s tax base and community’s quality of life while supporting other partners that focus on job retention/creation, workforce development, business support, and entrepreneurship.

Strategic Approach Planning: The Planning division provides professional planning advice and information to the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, other development‐related boards/committees, local residents, landowners, and the development community, with the goal of enhancing the quality of life and the built environment within the City of Amarillo. In collaboration with various community stakeholders, the Planning division develops and recommends policies, regulations/ordinances, and procedures that promote effective development and redevelopment strategies aimed at improving the quality of life for Amarillo residents. Creating and promoting a vibrant and sustainable built environment, while ensuring the protection and enhancement of important cultural and historical resources, are also key goals for the Planning division. The planning function is guided by goals and objectives provided by Amarillo’s Comprehensive Plan, and adopted neighborhood plans. The Comprehensive Plan’s goals and objectives relate to long‐range planning policy, annexation, land use, design, and housing. The adopted neighborhood plans’ goals and objectives relate to redevelopment, infrastructure, identity and amenities, health, and safety. Day to 425


day, short‐range planning activities are accomplished through administering regulations within the zoning, subdivision, and other development‐related ordinances. Through the use of these planning documents, the division strives to balance physical, social, and economical interests, in order to achieve a built form that will benefit both the present and future residents of the community. Public and stakeholder involvement in the planning process is encouraged as a means to balance competing interests and engage the community. The department was recognized by the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association (TxAPA) for Planning Excellence in 2015, 2016, and 2017, affirming the department’s commitment to Best Practices. Each of the programs below fulfills the BluePrint for Amarillo initiative. For example, the Long and Short‐Range Planning program addresses aspects of Economic Development, Redevelopment, and Civic Pride. The Special District Administration and Planning Studies & Reports programs each involve several BluePrint for Amarillo initiatives; including continued Downtown Redevelopment, Addressing Disadvantaged Areas, Community Appearance, and Civic Pride. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO): The Metropolitan Planning Organization division fulfills its mission through short and long‐range transportation planning activities for roadways, public transportation, walking, biking, and freight. The MPO works to coordinate planning efforts between federal, state, county, City of Canyon, Panhandle Regional Planning Commission (PRPC), and City of Amarillo officials and to incorporate public involvement at all stages of the transportation planning process. The primary activities of the department include the preparation of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), a 25 year long‐range plan that requires the maintenance of socio‐economic data for transportation modeling, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), a four‐year short‐ range plan for transportation projects within the study area, and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), which identifies the planning objectives for the fiscal year. These efforts address the BluePrint for Amarillo Transportation strategic pillar. Considering the MPO Best Practices efforts, during the 2015‐2016 fiscal year, the MPO staff participated in a Metropolitan Planning Program Review conducted by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. The Federal Review Team found that the Amarillo MPO is in compliance with federal regulations governing the MPO’s planning and programming initiatives. Recommendations from the review are being incorporated into the Transportation Planning program. During the 2017‐ 2018 fiscal year, the MPO has engaged in a Program Review with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a subset of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). This endeavor is intended to streamline operations, determine staffing and resource shortages, and to come into line with industry best practices, while doing the work required to prepare for designation as a Transportation Management Area (TMA), anticipated at the time of the next Census. This initiative has already resulting in changes to processes, and has led to a modification to the Metropolitan Area Boundary (MAB), to include Canyon. The division also is involved in public transportation planning activities with Amarillo City Transit and the maintenance of a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) database for application and management of the annual FTA grant. This work includes transit studies, local transit system promotion, and transit planning associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). The division also participated in the formulation of a Transit Master Plan, finalized in 2017. These public transportation activities address the BluePrint for Amarillo’s Transportation strategic pillar. The proposed budget relies upon funding provided by a federal grant administered through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The funds have been consistent over the past six to eight years; as such, no funding deviation is expected for the City of Amarillo in the 2018‐2019 year. Economic Development: The Economic Development Division leads the City’s efforts at local economic development with an emphasis on enhancing and expanding the City’s tax base and community’s quality 426


of life. It provides support to the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation and other partners with a focus on job retention and creation, workforce development, business support, and entrepreneurship. The division is also responsible for serving as the liaison between the City and its various partners, as well as developing, implementing and maintaining the City’s economic development incentive policies and guidelines.

Mission To provide for the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic within the City and to ensure safe passage on our streets and highways to motorists and pedestrians alike. The goal of the red light camera program is to change driving behavior using technology rather than manpower. This involves a continuous effort to improve the overall efficiency of the street network while reducing the number and severity of collisions.

Strategic Approach The Traffic Engineering Department is responsible for the planning, design, and operations of all traffic control devices. This includes the placement of traffic signs (Stop, Yield, Speed Limit, Parking Restriction, Street Name, Etc.) Traffic Signals and Pavement Markings (Stop Bars, Crosswalks, Island Tips, Arrows, Etc.) all of these implement the use of best practices to improve technology to improve efficiency. The Department is responsible for the following: Authorizing Street Light installations (except for Highways), Supervising the Adult School Crossing Guard Program for Elementary Schools, investigating sight restriction complaints, issuing Block Party and Parade Permits, conducting a Traffic Count Program, reviewing and approving plans that concern Traffic Areas. These Activities are accomplished using nationally recognized standards and methods found in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and International Transportation of Engineers best practices, while still following best practices to improve traffic patterns throughout the city and in the downtown development; it also plans for fiscal responsibility for replacements as equipment meets their end of life. The department has several performance measures that enable the department management to monitor daily, weekly and yearly work trends, quality of service, and make adjustments as needed for customer service. The department implements cost effective improvements including additional traffic signs, improved pavement markings traffic signal retiming and/or re‐phasing and revised signal displays for better visibility and collision reduction. By implementing these best practices the Traffic Engineering 433


Department has set itself up to monitor the appropriate programs to align itself with the City’s future Blueprint for Amarillo. Traffic Engineering is working with Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to improve the traffic flow on Amarillo Blvd. between Polk and Lincoln. The project will include upgrades to existing signals, software, and pedestrian crossings along the corridor as well as median islands. The Traffic improvements on Amarillo Blvd. are to fix declining infrastructure, update technology to improve efficiency and implementation of best practices in Traffic Engineering. Some Technology improvements will be updating the design of pedestrian crossings to meet new ADA standards, Synchro software for improved timing coordination on Arterial Streets. Traffic Engineering is updating the ordinance policies for parades, block parties and festivals. Amarillo Police Department lacks sufficient resources to adequately enforce traffic signal laws without photo red light enforcement. The most obvious problem is that police officers cannot be everywhere at once. It is simply impossible for officers to continuously monitor an intersection with the uninterrupted focus of a photo red light camera. Another important consideration is the potential danger associated with police officers following red light runners through heavily congested intersections. The pursuit of red light runners can pose a serious risk for motorists, pedestrians, and police officers. Finally assuming it was feasible to safely enforce an intersection, according to Police Department cost analysis research, it would take at least three full‐time officers at a cost of at least $125,000 per officer the first year and an average of $100,000 per officer in future years, to enforce an intersection for one shift. Obviously the cost would exceed the City's opportunity to responsibly enforce one intersection using traditional methods. Photo red light enforcement is safer, more efficient and cost‐effective than traditional methods of intersection enforcement. The existing contract renewed in August of 2017 and in April of 2018 an amendment was made to add 7 new intersections and remove 4 existing for a total of 12 camera locations. This will cause rear‐end accidents to increase slightly and angle collisions to decease, at the new camera locations.

Programs Traffic Engineering Administration/Support 2018/19 Budget — $1,011,932 Management of a multi‐faceted Traffic Administration duties by Traffic Engineer and, supported by office staff and the Photographic Traffic Enforcement Administration duties of an Administrative hearing officer. Administrative staff works with American Traffic Solutions and Amarillo Police Department to collect fees for red light camera violations, hearings are held every other Wednesday.

Mission Statement Building Safety promotes livability and ensures public health, safety and welfare in the built environment. Building Safety also provides services to promote neighborhood preservation, focusing on a healthy and vibrant environment thru interaction and education of our community.

Strategic Approach The Department of Building Safety fulfills its mission through a compliance approach of service delivery. This approach aligns with City Council’s pillars of Public Safety, Economic Development/Redevelopment, and Customer Service. The Department continues to maintain an excellent Building Codes Effectiveness Grading System (BCEGS) of 2 for commercial and 3 for Residential (1 being best, 10 worst). These ratings place Amarillo’s Building Safety Department in the top 96% for commercial and 92% for residential compared to 400 other municipalities in Texas. Our rating is based on a variety of factors including percentage of International Code Council certified staff, model code cycle, code amendments, quality of plan review and inspection service. Building Safety staff consists of 31 full time positions, 2 part time positions and 1 CDBG funded position. All are dedicated to improving the safety and welfare of citizens and visitors to Amarillo on a daily basis. The department provides a high level of professional service to a wide range of programs and activities focused on health, safety and quality of life in Amarillo. Mandated activities include compliance and enforcement actions in accordance with applicable local, state and federal requirements relating to the built environment. The department strives to streamline citizen services through the Development Services portal, “One Stop Shop”. This is achieved through application intake for numerous City programs, plan review, permitting, inspection, and licensing services. Building Safety staff takes pride in working on the front side of the model by regularly engaging in customer consultation before and during development and compliance activities. Community Improvement program activities are consistent with Council’s Economic Development/ Redevelopment initiative to enhance the community’s economic competiveness, which includes abatement of uncultivated vegetation, accumulations of junk and debris, graffiti, junk vehicles, 439


identification and removal of hazardous conditions, and legal due process requirements for dangerous structures. Building Safety is charged with inspecting the City’s housing stock through investigation of substandard housing complaints, vacant building enforcement as well as working closely with the Community Development Department to assist Development/Redevelopment. The new dangerous structure Condemnation process is an excellent example of best practices. In the short time this new process has been in existence an average of 4 dangerous structures per month have been abated. The department is also responsible for other programs which improve the quality of life in Amarillo. These include the City’s portal for Development Services, contractor registration, transient business licenses, credit access business licenses, scrap tire businesses, topless establishment licenses, manufactured home/RV parks and complaint investigations. The department convenes the following boards and commissions: Construction Advisory and Appeals Commission, Condemnation Appeals Commission, and the Zoning Board of Adjustments.

Programs Development Services, Building Safety, and Code Enforcement Support 2018/19 Budget — $635,211 Measurable improvement in services provided to the community include: shorter construction plan review turn‐around and permitting times; focus on quality inspections; and community engagement and preservation. The Building Safety department has a continued focus on widespread cross training/staff development, SOPs and workflow diagrams. Currently Building Safety has completed approximately 150 SOPs. Building Safety is also concerned with improving citizen access to information regarding services. This information is provided through the use of a website, informational bulletins and outreach activities. Performance Measures/Indicators:

Plan Review and Permit Issuance: Permit Intake, Plan Review and Process Management 2018/19 Budget — $900,715 Permit Intake, Plan Review and Process Management strives to reduce and maintain turn‐around time through additional training and staff development. Some additional Customer Service initiatives include staff working with high volume builders’ usage of “Master Plans” that, once reviewed and approved, will be archived for re‐use. When the builder re‐uses an approved master plan, a review is only required for the site conditions. Several other examples of Customer Service initiatives include: simplified mobile home application, this new form reduced the permit process by approximately half an hour and “Express Plans” a fill in the blank plan suitable for simple Home Owner projects such as decks, patio covers, carports, this process eliminates need for multiple visits. The Building Safety department continues to create spreadsheets, white papers, checklists, and user‐friendly forms/applications are being tailored to expedite the permit process 440

*Several Customer Service initiatives were implemented this past fiscal year. “Master Plan” concept, this process allows the builder to submit a catalog of master plans. Those plans only need one structural/life safety review. Thereafter the contractor can a submit site plan indicating which master plan to be built, thus requiring a review of the site only. The process is expedites review and turnaround time considerably. “Express Plans” just recently developed and made available for simple Home Owner projects. We anticipate this will save our customers from multiple visits and reduce time line for permits. Another Customer Service imitative is the continued transition to digital format on all construction documents and files at the beginning of the application process, thus eliminating time and resources previously devoted to managing paper files/documents.

Inspection Services: Building/Site Inspection 2018/19 Budget — $699,446 Building Safety Inspection Services strives to reduce the number of site visits on projects through cross‐ training and by expanding the current number of Community Safety Inspectors (CSI) through training opportunities and incentives. CSIs are capable of performing multiple inspections per visit. Building Safety currently has 1 CSI inspector with a goal to encourage more staff to transition to CSI status. These initiatives are in line with Council priority of fiscal responsibility, customer service and economic development/redevelopment, Performance Measures/Indicators:

Mission The department of Environmental Health consists of highly trained health and safety professionals who identify and promote the conditions under which all people can live within healthy communities and work to achieve optimum health serving the Bi‐City‐County Health District. Our goal is to protect and improve the health and well‐being for all people who live, work, or visit Amarillo, Canyon, and the counties of Potter and Randall.

Strategic Approach The strategic approach for Environmental Health is acutely focused on the BluePrint for Amarillo to include City Council’s Top Five priorities. Environmental Health strives to fulfill the goals of BluePrint for Amarillo by focusing specifically on the Best Practices, Customer Service and Fiscal Responsibility pillars. In fiscal year 2018/2019 we continue to focus on ensuring an appropriately‐sized and competent workforce. Currently, Environmental Health lacks adequate staff to deliver two inspections per food establishment per year, as required by municipal code and state law. We currently average less than two inspections per establishment, per year. Our long‐term goal is to conduct four inspections (per year per facility) of facilities with highly‐vulnerable populations (HVP) and two inspections (per year per facility) of all other food establishments to come in line with Best Practices. We will also be working with the existing and new members of the Public Health District to capture a higher percentage of cost recovery for services performed outside City limits as part of the department’s commitment to Fiscal Responsibility. Currently, 40% of departmental resources are expended outside the City limits, while only 20% of the revenue comes from outside the City. The department will be implementing two new software initiatives to provide better and timelier Customer Service by increasing our efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, the department will be implementing the City’s first wastewater pre‐treatment (grease trap) program which will include permitting with fees and periodic inspections. 445

Mission To serve the public by recording, preserving, and retrieving official and vital public records in a courteous and professional manner while consistently conforming to state and federal law governing these practices.

Strategic Approach To maintain and preserve vital records in compliance with state and federal laws, and to act in the best interest of the City of Amarillo by providing efficient, innovative, and quality services in a fair and impartial manner to all. The City of Amarillo Vital Statistics division strives to perform at a high level and recognizes the need to continuously work to earn the respect of the community. The division also realizes the importance of always welcoming newcomers as well as lifelong residents with information, resources, and a smile. The division continues to look for innovative solutions to fulfill the Council Pillars initiative outlined in the BluePrint for Amarillo. The City of Amarillo Vital Statistics division continues to work diligently in remaining compliant with state and federal law when distributing vital records. The Vital Statistics division has continued to follow counsel from State representatives, in attending the annual conferences for Vital Statistics to maintain awareness of all forthcoming changes. The division’s goal for the upcoming year is to obtain an additional Master Registrar certification to achieve a high level of knowledge to not only continue to meet requirements set forth by the State, but also to perform at an exemplary level for our customers as well as for the City of Amarillo. Within the past year, the City of Amarillo Vital Statistics division has worked towards overall improvement of the maintenance, issuance and preservation of all records. This in turn, will provide the exemplary customer service that each citizen deserves. The City of Amarillo has invested in upgraded technology to maintain records, as well as move to a more electronic environment. The Vital Statistics division was granted the opportunity to implement a new Tyler Technologies records software product 455


called Eagle. Within the first year on the new system, we have seen many improvements and look forward to the efficiency and effectiveness it will provide to our staff and the citizens of Amarillo.

Programs Birth Records 2018/19 Budget — $29,190 Assist the community in providing certified copies of birth records within the State of Texas and providing documents needed to obtain out‐of‐state birth records.

Mission The mission of the Community Development Department is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable housing for all.

Strategic Approach The Consolidated Plan serves as a planning document meeting the federal government statutory requirements in guiding the use of Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds based on applications to the U.S. Department of HUD. The plan includes a Housing Market Analysis, Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment, 5‐year Strategic Plan and 1‐year Action Plan. The plan also serves as the baseline for measuring program effectiveness, as reported in the Consolidated Annual performance and Evaluation Report. The plan was developed using an on‐line survey on the city web site, conducting public forums utilizing focus groups of citizens, nonprofit agencies, business community, colleges and universities, elected and appointed officials, Amarillo Continuum of Care and the Community Development Advisory Committee. HUD requirements align perfectly with the Council Pillars adopted by the City Council in terms of focus, allocation of resources and initiatives. The Community Development Department plans, monitors and administers entitlement grant program by using best practices to comply with Federal Regulations and City of Amarillo policies. Proposed projects for 2018/19 will provide funding that will address Transportation, Fiscal Responsibility and Civic Pride.

Programs Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2018/19 Budget ‐ $1,991,896 This budget provides the administrative resources necessary to administer all aspects of the CDBG program in accordance with federal and state regulations.

Public Housing 2018/19 Budget – $10,855,925 This program provides direct rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Approximately 1,300 households will receive rental assistance in the coming year. The Housing Wait list has been closed for applications since September 2016. Although the housing program is based on household eligibility our disadvantaged neighborhoods are the beneficiary of the majority of HUD funding. HUD requires that housing units meet the Housing Quality Standards threshold which improves community appearance by requiring landlords to maintain units in an acceptable manner. The lack of Affordable Housing is an impediment to maximizing voucher usage. The City is actively recruiting new landlords and assisting new Affordable Housing utilizing federal subsidies.

Mission The City of Amarillo’s Public Health department is responsible for promoting health and preventing disease in the citizens of Potter and Randall counties.

Strategic Approach Public Health funding comes from the Amarillo Hospital District, which supports activities not funded through grants. In the past five years, financial support from the Amarillo Hospital District has come in the form of inter‐governmental transfer, supporting participation in the 1115 Medicaid waiver program. The department also works with the Texas Department of State Health Services to carry out budgets, work plans and deliverables for each of nine grants. The department utilizes each of these funding sources to carry out Texas state law, local ordinance and innovative approaches to protect the public health of our community. Community needs are identified through the Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan, which are completed on a 3‐5 year cycle. The coordination of grant requirements for core public health services, needs identified in our community, and BluePrint for Amarillo are the driving forces behind the department’s activities and funding needs. In addition to fiscal support from the Amarillo Hospital District, 1115 Medicaid waiver projects, and grants, the department applies fees to certain services provided. These fees have remained very low and do not recover cost of services. However, they do provide additional program income to support grant activities. During the 2017/18 fiscal year, fees were again evaluated and brought in line with the Texas Vaccine for Children Program. Immunization fees were increased from $10/vaccine to $14.85/vaccine. Vaccines for children have a cap of $30 and there is no cap for adult vaccines. Adminstration fees for other services was also increased to $15 in an effort to reacapture costs associated with provided high quality services to patients (fiscal responsibility). In addition to evaluating fees, a number of services were added to the department’s menu available including, sports physicals, urine pregnancy testing, vaccine titer testing, and trichomoniasis testing (customer service).

465


The City Council’s pillars are an important part of daily activities in Public Health. Each day, the department works to meet the needs of civic pride, highly educated population, and customer service, both in terms of prevention diseases and promoting health. Public Health serves as a safety net for many of the most vulnerable in our community and provides services and expertise in a wide range of specific services from tuberculosis and immunizations to STDs and public health emergency preparedness. In addition to Public Health’s fixed location in northeast Amarillo, the mobile clinic allows for Public Health services to be made more available to the entire jurisdiction. Public Health looks forward to the upcoming year and partnerships with other City Departments such as Parks and Recreation, Environmental Health, WIC, Animal Management and Welfare, Community Development, Fire, and Police as well as external agencies to continue the great work in Amarillo ‐ addressing the needs of our community. In the upcoming year, the department anticipates actively working to improve revenue streams by upgrading our electronic medical record system and moving closer to implementing the billing of Medicaid and CHIP for services provided to program participants.

Programs Public Health Administration/Support 2018/19 Budget — $297,524 Public Health Administration provides oversight for daily operation and support for department activities (customer service). The department implemented customer satisfaction surveys in March 2018. In the first three months of implementation, the department received 91% excellent rating and 99% good/excellent rating. We pride ourselves on providing quality care with exceptional customer service. The Director serves as liaison for the Amarillo Hospital District and Northwest Texas Health Care System and serves as staff for the Bi‐City‐County Public Health Board. The department is currently working toward accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board, and provides community health assessment and community health improvement planning every three‐five years. The department participates in the 1115 Medicaid waiver (DSRIP) program and conducts grant management for 10 grants through the State and Federal partners (fiscal responsibility).

Communicable Disease 2018/19 Budget — $241,464 The Communicable Disease Program conducts disease surveillance and epidemiology, interfaces with hospitals and other providers, and provides community education. There are 88 conditions in Texas that 466


are notifiable to the public health department. During any given year, approximately 45 of the 88 conditions are reported. Communicable Disease staff follow up with each report to ensure the safety of both individual patients and the public, ensure appropriate treatment of patients and contacts, and identify and respond to outbreaks. Communicable Disease staff are actively involved in the community and are members of PanIC, the Panhandle Infection Control group (highly educated population). The Perinatal Hepatitis B program is one component of the Communicable Disease program. Case management is provided for infants and contacts to mothers who have Hepatitis B. The program also collaborates with the Department of Animal Management and Welfare to assess the need for rabies post‐exposure prophylaxis for animal bite victims and provides pre‐exposure vaccine as needed to members of the community. Staff participate in the Panhandle Child Fatality Review Team in an effort to reduce preventable child deaths in the panhandle of Texas. Performance Measures/Indicators:

Immunization 2018/19 Budget — $745,328 The Immunization team provides adult and childhood immunizations through the mobile clinic and fixed location, conducts immunization outreach and community education and conducts school/daycare compliance assessments. Target areas for the mobile clinic include vulnerable areas such as shelters, low‐income housing, community events and community centers. Success from these events is often recognized years later when the patient returns to school or obtains citizenship (highly educated population, customer service).

Mission The mission of the WIC Nutrition department is to safeguard the health of low‐ and moderate‐income women, infants, and children (up to age five) who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care.

Strategic Approach The adoption of the BluePrint for Amarillo by the City Council sets forth a comprehensive strategic direction for the City government in terms of focus, allocation of resources, and initiatives. The mission and role of the WIC Nutrition program directly addresses the Council’s Civic Pride—Enhance Health and Wellness pillar by serving low‐ and moderate‐income families by providing health screenings, nutritious foods to supplement their diets, and referrals to health care. Participation in the WIC program is associated with a reduction in the number of poor birth outcomes and reducing the amount spent on Medicaid costs. Participation in the WIC program also has been shown to support cognitive development, helping children to enter kindergarten ready to learn. The WIC Nutrition Program is federally funded by USDA through a grant to the State of Texas. The state administers the program and contracts with the City of Amarillo to provide services in accordance with state and federal guidelines. The WIC Nutrition Program strives to deliver the highest quality services in the nation with integrity and with respect to the WIC eligible population. Currently, the department serves an average of 6,430 participants per month, or 77,160 participants per year. The department has an operating budget of $1.8 million. Additionally, the department oversees $4.5 million in food benefit issuances.

475


There are two major types of nutrition risks recognized for WIC eligibility: medically based risks such as anemia, underweight, history of pregnancy complications, or poor pregnancy outcomes; and dietary risks, such as inappropriate nutrition/feeding practices or failure to meet the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Women, infants, and children at nutrition risk have much greater risk of experiencing health problems.

Programs WIC Department Administration 2018/19 Budget — $657,208 This program provides the administrative expertise for the administration of all aspects of the WIC Nutrition Program in accordance with federal and state regulations, policies and procedures. The WIC Administration department received excellent marks on the state audit in August of 2017. It was noted by state auditors that there weren’t any findings in the entire audit, which is a very rare occurrence. High commendations were given for having an excellent managed agency.

WIC Nutrition Education 2018/19 Budget — $817,795 This program is responsible for delivering nutrition education to participants enrolled in the WIC Nutrition Program according to state and federal regulations. The Nutrition Education section was able to continue and enhance the nutrition carnivals that the department offers. The WIC Nutrition Program is the only WIC agency in Texas that provides this enhanced level of nutrition education. This department also has been involved in adding the Farmers Market program to the WIC benefits received, making fresh vegetables and fruit from the Golden Spread Farmers Market available to WIC participants.

Mission To promote and facilitate the development of quality neighborhoods that enhance the community appearance.

Strategic Approach Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) were established to provide for the installation and maintenance of certain amenities and common areas that include hardscape and greenscape features that enhance the neighborhood by providing recreational and aesthetic related improvements. A five‐year service plan that defines the annual budget and individual assessments for each PID is approved annually by the respective PID Advisory Board and City Council. Each PID is fully funded by assessments and does not require City funding.

Programs Greenways 2018/19 Budget — $618,125 Established in 1995, Greenways was the first PID established in Amarillo. Landscaped parkways and common areas which include hardscape features are some of the improvements within the Greenways. The Greenways PID continues to develop a linear park system which now contains approximately 29 acres. The park‐like setting meanders throughout the development, interconnecting the home sites with a linear parkway. Trees and shrubs have been added to enhance the park’s large expanse of irrigated turf. The park contains over a mile of walking/jogging trails for the use and enjoyment of all users. Utilizing grant dollars from the State of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the City constructed a natural setting city park with soccer fields and other recreational type amenities in what was previously an undeveloped playa lake. The City maintains this “playa park”. The assessments for the Greenways 485


PID are necessary to fund the maintenance and administrative costs associated with the PID improvements, debt service, and reserve. The Greenways PID has a five member advisory Board. Per the terms of the Greenways PID petition, three board member positions are homeowners and two are suggested for approval by the developer.

Heritage Hills 2018/19 Budget — $63,755 The Heritage Hills PID was established in July 2016 to provide for the construction and maintenance of certain right‐of‐way improvements such as landscaping, green areas and entry features throughout the subdivision. Heritage Hills will be a multi‐phased development and will be subject to developer reimbursements for portions of the improvements. Since the proposed services are in addition to the standard level of service provided by the City, the property owners within the Heritage Hills PID will be assessed for the cost of care and maintenance. Per the terms of the Heritage Hills PID petition, the initial three‐member advisory board is to consist of three board members suggested for approval by the owner.

Colonies 2018/19 Budget — $832,168 Established in 2001, the Colonies PID encompasses approximately 375 acres of land and is located in southwest Amarillo. The Colonies PID contains both residentially and commercially developed properties. The Colonies PID is a multi‐phased development and will be subject to developer reimbursements for portions of the improvements. Since the proposed services are in addition to the standard level of service provided by the City, the property owners within the Colonies PID will be assessed for the cost of care and maintenance. The Colonies PID collected the first assessments in January 2002. The assessments for the Colonies PID are necessary to fund the maintenance and administrative costs associated with the PID improvements, debt service, and reserves.

Point West 2018/19 Budget — $26,068 The Point West PID was established to provide for the maintenance of several landscaped medians within City right‐of‐way. The City of Amarillo has a policy of not allowing medians within City right‐of‐ way and therefore required the PID be established for a maintenance mechanism. The Point West PID is zoned for a business and office park development. Point West was established as a mechanism to provide for the maintenance of several landscaped medians within City right‐of‐way. Since the proposed services are in addition to the standard level of service provided by the City, the property owners within Point West will be assessed for the cost of care and maintenance of the medians. The assessments for the Point West PID are necessary to fund the associated maintenance and administrative costs. These costs will be divided among the property owners based on the percentage of total square footage of property owned. The Point West PID has a five‐member advisory board. Per the terms of Resolution No. 5‐29‐12‐1 which expanded the board from three members to five members, two members shall be suggested by the developer, two members must be lot owners, and one member shall be suggested for approval by the owners

Quail Creek 2018/19 Budget — $7,047 The Quail Creek PID was established to provide for the maintenance of the common area with brick dumpster enclosures to include a lighted landscaped median within City right‐of‐way. This 29 lot residential subdivision was developed on an irregular piece of land and was limited in what could be drafted into a workable residential design. The large median in the middle of the development was a result of this irregular tract. There will be no entry features associated with this tract and the only landscaping will be grass and trees within the median mentioned above. The subdivision improvements associated with this PID were completed and accepted in the spring of 2009 and are now being maintained by a private contractor. The amenities offered within this PID are in addition to the standard level of service provided by the City. The property owners within the Quail Creek PID will be assessed for the cost of care and maintenance of the common area amenities. The Quail Creek PID has a three‐member advisory board. Per the terms of the Quail Creek PID petition, one board position represents the developer and the remaining two board members represent Quail Creek homeowners.

Vineyards 2018/19 Budget — $3,738 The Vineyards PID was established to provide for the installation and maintenance of certain landscaped areas (common areas).

The Vineyards PID is a multi‐phased residential development and will be subject to developer reimbursements for portions of the improvements. The Vineyards PID collected its first assessments in October 2012. Improvements such as landscaped medians and specialty lighting have been installed, accepted and therefore, are now being maintained within the first phase of development. 487


Per the terms of the Vineyards PID petition, after the first year, the advisory board will consist of five members appointed by the City Council and all members of the advisory board will serve terms of three years.

CITY OF AMARILLO DEBT SERVICE

Current Requirements The total debt service requirement for the City of Amarillo for fiscal year 2018/2019 is $40,894,088*. The debt service consists of $25,744,587 in principal payments, $13,482,622 in interest and fees, and $1,666,879 in estimated compensated absences payments. The State of Texas sets a limit on the amount of General Obligation debt that can be issued. This limit would apply to the General Obligation Bonds and the Certificates of Obligation Bonds. The limit of General Obligation debt is 10% of the total assessed property value before applying exemptions. Accordingly, the City of Amarillo’s total General Obligation debt limit would be $1.5 billion. The City’s actual General Obligation debt net of Debt Service assets is $153.4 million which leaves a balance of greater than $1.3 billion. We cannot see any future projects that would take the City of Amarillo anywhere near this limit. During the 1999/2000 fiscal year, voters approved library improvements that would be funded by a one-cent property tax increase. In June 2001, $6.9 million in General Obligation bonds were issued. The Library Improvement bonds were issued for 20 years at an average interest rate of 4.87%. The bond proceeds were used to construct two new branch libraries and to remodel two existing branch libraries and the downtown library. This issue was refunded with the 2009 General Obligation bonds with a net present value benefit of $231,274. The original par value of the new bonds is $4,825,000 with an average interest coupon of 3.83% and maturities through August 2022. These bonds enjoyed an underlying rating of AAA from Standard & Poor’s and Aa2 from Moody’s Investors Service. During the 2006/2007 fiscal year, the City Council approved the issuance of $24,575,000 of Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation. The bond proceeds enabled the City to fund capital improvement needs in the Fire, Police, Public Health, Street and Parks departments. The substantial growth in the City has increased public facility and infrastructure needs and many of these projects had been waiting for a funding source for several years. The bonds were issued for 20 years at an average interest rate of 4.76%. This issue was refunded with the 2017 General Obligation Refunding bonds with a net present value benefit of $2,422,114. The original par value of the new bonds is $15,110,000 with a true interest cost of 2.219% and maturities through May 2027. These bonds enjoyed an underlying rating of AAA from Standard & Poor’s and Aa2 from Moody’s Investors Service. During 2017, the City Council issued the Certificates of Obligation, Series 2017 in the amount of $6,940,000 the proceeds are funding the public safety radio system and allow the City to acquire a two-way radio communications system for public safety. The bonds were issued for 20 years at a true interest cost of 2.736%. These bonds enjoyed an underlying rating of AAA from Standard & Poor’s and Aa2 from Moody’s Investors Service. During 2010, the City issued $1,392,000 in Recovery Zone Build America Bonds, Series 2010. The maturities range through 2030 with an average interest coupon of 3.196%. These bonds are eligible for an interest subsidy of 45%. These funds support a portion of the construction of the S.E. 3rd Avenue and Grand Street overpass with the remaining funds used for street improvements in the target zone. During 2017, the City Council issued the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017 in the amount of $21,280,000 with a true interest cost of 3.181%. These maturities range through 2042. This is the first year of five anticipated bond issues associated with the November 2016 bond election. The voters approved two propositions totaling $109 million for streets and public safety infrastructure initiatives. During 2018, the City Council issued the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2018 in the amount of $22,145,000 with a true interest cost of 3.466%. These maturities range through 2043. This is the second year of five anticipated bond issues associated with the November 2016 bond election. The Greenways Public Improvement District (PID) has developed a linear park system containing approximately 19 acres. The parklike setting meanders throughout the development. In the 2003/2004 fiscal year, the City of Amarillo issued $620,000 in Certificates of Obligation with an annual debt service amount of approximately $47,000. The 2003 Certificates of Obligation mature in 20 years at 3.70% interest. During the 2007/2008 fiscal year, the City of Amarillo issued $600,000 in Certificates of Obligation with an annual debt service amount of approximately $45,000.

The 2014 Certificates of Obligation mature in 20 years at 3.22% interest. All of these issues are funded by assessments to the property owners of the Greenways Public Improvement District. Accordingly, the Greenway’s assessments are $600 per lot for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. The Colonies Public Improvement District has developed a linear park area throughout the development. During the 2005/2006 fiscal year, the City of Amarillo issued $585,000 in Certificates of Obligation to pay for the improvements to the Colonies.

The Certificates of Obligation mature in 20 years at 4.08% interest. Annual debt service on the

489


CITY OF AMARILLO DEBT SERVICE 2008B Certificates will be approximately $110,000. During the 2013/2014 fiscal year, the City of Amarillo issued $2,260,000 in Certificates of Obligation to pay for park improvements, of that amount $1,535,000 is the Colonies share with an annual debt service amount of approximately $106,000. The 2014 Certificates of Obligation mature in 20 years at 3.22% interest. During the 2017/2018 fiscal year, the City of Amarillo issued $3,000,000 in Certificates of Obligation to pay for the improvements to the Colonies. The Certificates of Obligation mature in 20 years at 3.27% interest. Annual debt service on the 2018 Certificates will be approximately $206,000. All of these issues are funded by an assessment to the property owners. The total assessment is calculated on the total square feet of the property owner’s lot. The 2018/2019 assessment of $0.100 per square foot funds the debt service of the Certificates as well as the operating cost to maintain the park area. During 2011, the City issued $3,750,000 in Certificates of Obligation bonds to fund the reconstruction of one of the City municipal golf courses. The maturities range through 2037 with a true interest cost of 4.91%. The debt service on this issue will be funded by revenues generated by the City golf course. The City also issued $2,210,000 in Certificates of Obligation Bonds that will be funded by Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1(TIRZ #1) revenue. The proceeds from this issue will be allocated by the TIRZ #1 Board to fund downtown improvement projects. During 2016 the City issued the Hotel Occupancy Tax Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2016 in the amount of $11,995,000. The maturities range through 2043 with a true interest cost of 4.12%.

Amounts provided for in the Provision for Compensated Absences Fund are used to pay terminating and retiring employees their respective sick and annual leave. Civilian employees with 10 years of service are entitled to be paid up to 90 days of unused sick days and 65 unused vacation days. Police Officers and Firefighters are entitled to be paid for up to 90 days of unused sick days and 65 unused vacation days, but are not required to have 10 years of service to receive the benefit. The City is estimating that the compensated absences fund will run out at the end 2018/2019 at which point operating budgets will begin to fund the unused sick and annual leave benefit.

491


CITY OF AMARILLO DEBT SERVICE increase effective October 1, 2018, the third of five planned similar increases. The City has entered into a development agreement, which has been assigned to the Amarillo Local Government Corporation. The Corporation’s charge is to work with a developer on three downtown initiatives: a convention hotel, a parking garage and a multipurpose event venue that will also serve as a minor league ballpark. The City will own all of the facilities. During 2018, the City issued an additional $38,835,000 in hotel tax revenue bonds to finance the multipurpose event venue. The hotel developer agreement includes an 80 year lease to the hotel developer with the developer responsible for all maintenance and operations of the facility. The convention hotel opened during September 2017. The Amarillo Local Government Corporation will operate as the developer for the parking garage with the parking garage operations beginning during the summer of 2017. The City Council approved a developer agreement for the multipurpose event venue with the developer responsible for the maintenance and operation of the facilities at no cost to the City during September 2017 and awarded of the MPEV construction contract during October 2017. We anticipate that the MPEV will be open for the April 2019 baseball season. Currently, approximately 3.5% of the 7% hotel tax revenues are used to offset the operating loss at the Civic Center Complex, which includes the Globe News Center. Also, approximately 3% of the hotel tax is allocated to the Chamber of Commerce’s Convention and Visitor Council to promote tourism and conventions in the city. The half percent is used to subsidize events at the Civic Center Complex. Generally, the approximately 3.5% for the Civic Center Complex is more than enough to offset the loss and the balance is transferred to the Civic Center Improvement Fund for future capital needs. Likewise, the City generally does not use all the funds allocated to subsidize events at the Civic Center Complex and those excess funds are also transferred to the Civic Center Improvement Fund. Once the City begins paying the full debt service associated with both of the Hotel Occupancy Tax bond issues, the City anticipates using $2.5 million of hotel occupancy tax dollars to fund the annual debt service with additional funding anticipated from parking garage revenue and a portion of the annual lease payment from the baseball team. * Note – The amount reported as total debt service, $39,227,209, includes $2,788,616 in Canadian River Municipal Water Authority debt interest payments and $11,710 in fiscal agent fees. In the Summary of Revenue and Expenditures, these amounts are included as Water and Sewer Fund operating expenses.

CAPITAL PROJECTS The City’s Capital Improvement Plan represents the staff’s determination of projects that need to be completed during the next five years to improve the quality of life for all our citizens and to improve our present service delivery system. Funding for the 2018/2019 portion of this Capital Improvement Plan has been approved in the City’s annual fiscal year budget. Funding for the remaining portion of the plan will be determined on an annual basis depending upon available financial resources and our changing needs and priorities. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND General Construction -- To account for traffic engineering and other miscellaneous construction funded primarily by the general revenues of the City. This fund also accounts for costs of construction of various improvements to the City’s parks which, in recent years, have been financed primarily by general revenues and, in some instances, by intergovernmental grants. The General Construction Fund is also used to account for general revenues designated for replacement of existing buildings, improvements and equipment, and for similar projects. Street Assessments Fund -- To account for the construction of streets and alleys which are financed primarily by property owner participation. Street Improvement Fund -- To account for improvements being made to major thoroughfares as well as the storm sewer system of the City which is financed by general revenues, augmented in some instances by property owner participation. Golf Course Improvement Fund -- To account for the portion of green fees designated for improvements to the public golf courses. Solid Waste Disposal Improvement Fund -- To account for costs of improvements to the City’s solid waste disposal facilities, which in recent years have primarily been financed by general revenues. T-Anchor-Bivins Improvement Fund -- To account for sales of City land, the proceeds of which are designated for future betterments to the historic Bivins home. This historic home is owned by the City and rented to the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce and other community service organizations. Civic Center Improvement Fund -- To account for improvements to the Civic Center Complex which are financed by motel tax receipts. METHODS OF FINANCING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS General Fund The General Fund is the financing of improvements from revenues such as general taxation, fees, or service charges. Earmarked Funds With earmarked funds, monies are accumulated in advance or set aside for capital construction or purchase. The accumulation may result from a surplus of earmarked operational revenues, funds in depreciation reserves, or the sale of capital assets. Certificates of Obligation Bonds With certificates of obligation bonds, the taxing power of the jurisdiction is pledged to pay interest and retire the debt. Certificates of obligation bonds can be sold to finance permanent types of improvements such as municipal buildings, parks, and recreation facilities. General Obligation Bonds With general obligation bonds, the taxing power of the jurisdiction is pledged to pay interest and retire the debt. General obligation bonds can be sold to finance permanent types of improvements such as municipal buildings, parks, and recreation facilities. Voter approval is required. Revenue Bonds Revenue bonds are frequently sold for projects that produce revenues, such as water and sewer systems. Voter approval is not required. Lease-Purchase The lease-purchase method requires the City to prepare specifications for a needed expenditure. The equipment is then leased by the municipality. At the end of the lease period, the title to the equipment can be conveyed to the municipality without any future payments. Special Assessments Public works that benefit particular properties may be financed more equitably by special assessment, i.e. paid by those who directly benefit. State and Federal Grants

521


CITY OF AMARILLO

State and federal grant-in-aid programs are available to finance a number of programs. These may include streets, water and sewer facilities, airports, parks and playgrounds, etc. The cost of funding these facilities may be borne completely by grant funds or a local share may be required.

Enterprise Funds Funds established from the delivery of specific services where the money paid to administer the services, and the expenses as a result of providing services, are accounted for separate from the General Fund budget of the City. FUNCTIONS OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Estimating capital requirements, budgeting priority projects and identifying revenue sources for proposed improvements. Scheduling all capital projects over a fixed period with appropriate planning, implementation, and informing the public of projected capital improvements. Coordinating the activities of various departments in meeting project schedules. Monitoring and evaluating the progress of capital projects. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT DEFINITIONS Capital Improvement Project Any expenditure of public funds for the purchase, construction, rehabilitation, replacement, or expansion of the physical assets of the community when the project is relatively large in size, expensive, long-term, and permanent. A capital improvement project should have a useful life of over five years and a unit value of at least $25,000. Some common examples include streets, libraries, tennis courts, signal systems, fire stations, water and sewer lines, and fire engines. Capital Improvement Projects should not include expenditures for equipment or services that management defines as operating budget items and which should be financed out of current revenue. Capital Improvement Program A five-year scheduling of public physical improvements to be constructed with estimated resources available to finance the projected expenditures. Capital Improvement Budget Improvements programmed for the next fiscal year and adopted as part of the normal budget process of the City. It is shown as year number one of the Capital Improvements Program. CAPITAL PROJECTS Many of the City projects are maintenance and annual replacement projects that may have an impact but are absorbed by the existing operating budgets. The City continues to face an aging infrastructure. The City has included $0.9 million funded from the Civic Center improvement fund for various enhancements to the Civic Center, $1.1 million to complete various improvements to the Landfill, $0.9 million for various IT hardware and software purchases, and $6.8 million for routine replacements of rolling stock. In November 2016, the City held a $340 million general obligation bond election which included seven propositions: Streets, Public Safety, Municipal Facilities, Neighborhood Parks, Civic Center Improvements, Fleet Services and Athletic Facilities. Voters approved two of these propositions: Streets and Public Safety. As a result, $10.3 million has been included to enhance the Animal Management & Welfare facility and construct two new fire stations, a fire shop, and purchase various equipment needed by the fire department. Additionally, $8.3 million has been included to address needs of aged street and traffic control infrastructure and $1.3 million has been included to address various other City needs. The City’s General Fund capital program includes $2.0 million to continue funding of an upgrade to the Public Safety CAD system, $0.5 million for the continued upgrade of the City’s radio communication system, $0.4 million to replace Transit buses, $0.3 million for a rewrite of the City’s Zoning Ordinances, $0.3 million for Facilities capital maintenance, $0.3 million for various Fire Operations Grants, and $0.1 million for Park Maintenance equipment and improvements.. The City Water and Wastewater Utility, or Utilities Fund includes $34.4 million in capital projects, partially funded with anticipated bond proceeds of $29.1 million. The City Council has approved a 3% rate increase to fund the capital program. The City estimates a 15% rate increase spread equitable over five years to fund just over $140.0 million in improvements during that same time period. 2018/2019 is the third year of this five-year period. Amarillo now has nearly 1,166 miles of water mains in the City and an additional 985 miles of wastewater mains. The City’s water and wastewater systems are very robust and have excellent capacity. Efforts will continue to focus on addressing aging infrastructure and ensuring future capacity. The Drainage Utility Fund allows us to address improvements to the storm water drainage system. We anticipate addressing capital needs in the approximate amount of $11.7 million for the 2018/2019 year, partially funded with anticipated bond proceeds of $10.0 million. Projects will include maintenance and extensions to the storm sewer drainage system. The City Council has approved a 4% rate increase to help fund the capital program. The Airport Fund includes $7.7 million in capital projects, partially funded with anticipated federal and state grant awards in the amount of $6.1 million. Projects include various enhancements and maintenance needed to the terminal and airfield. 522

CAPITAL PROJECTS OPERATING IMPACTS We have not identified any quantifiable operating impacts within the 2018-2019 annual budget. However we anticipate operating impacts in future periods as projects reach completion. The Fire Station 9 project is a replacement of an existing fire station and will have an estimated annual utilities and maintenance operating increase of $8,500 once completed. The station completion will also require the one-time purchase of furniture and fixtures costing approximately $75,000. Fire Station 5 will require 15 additional personnel with five positions added during the current year. The City anticipates that the additional 10 positions will be phased in over the next two budget years. Once fully staffed the estimated impact is approximately $1.2 million annually. In addition these new personnel will require equipment and clothing at a cost of $30,000 annually as they are added on and then annual upkeep and maintenance of approximately $20,000 after that. The new station will also require fuel and maintenance on a new ladder truck for approximately $90,000 annually as well as one-time equipment purchases to outfit the truck of $110,000. The station will also require a one-time purchase of furniture and fixtures of $105,000. The purchase of new updated fire equipment will require the replacement of the Fire Department’s spare parts inventory as the old equipment is being phased out due to changes in best practices and regulations. The new equipment will require annual upkeep increases of approximately $2,500. The construction of a central compost facility at the landfill may require additional personnel in the future. As of now the operation can be absorbed in the department’s current budget. However, in future year’s additional staff may be required to maintain efficient and effective operations. The expansion of the Animal Management and Welfare facilities will have minimal operating budget impacts as the current staffing level will not have to be expanded due to these projects. Projects in the Water & Sewer system will have minimal operating impact as most are rehabilitation or maintenance related. Airport Improvement projects are not expected to have a major operational impact either as these projects are mostly related to maintenance and rehabilitation of the current Airport property. Drainage projects will have a minimal impact with expected future operating cost increases of approximately $10,000 in increased maintenance and operations costs. The Fleet Services and IT projects will also have minimal future operating impacts as these are replacement projects.

CITY OF AMARILLO HUMAN RESOURCES SUMMARY

The Human Resources Department is a strategic business partner that is committed to providing high quality service to all operational departments of the City. The department is responsible for planning and implementing a comprehensive human resources program that includes the following: recruitment/retention and employment selection, compensation/job classification system, policy development and administration, training and career development, payroll administration and processes, employee relations, the performance evaluation program, leave administration, and civil service administration. Since 1944, the City of Amarillo has operated under a merit system of employment whereby all appointments and promotions in classified service are made on the basis of merit and/or competitive examinations. City employees are grouped for this purpose as classified or unclassified. Unclassified employees are generally the City Manager, Deputy/Assistant City Manager, Division Directors, Department Heads, their principal assistants and all hourly employees. Other fulltime employees are considered classified and are governed by local and state civil service law. The City of Amarillo has a three member Civil Service Commission appointed by the City Manager and confirmed by the City Council. Each member of the Civil Service Commission serves a three-year alternating term. The Civil Service Commission is one of the few regulatory commissions of the City and is empowered to adopt rules and regulations for the administration of the City's Civil Service System. It also serves as a hearing tribunal for all classified employees appealing actions of demotion, suspension, or termination. The Human Resources Department is responsible for the administration of the City's compensation and classification system referred to as the City Pay Plan. The City Pay Plan consists of five salary schedules: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

General Salary Schedule; Executive and Managerial Salary Schedule; Fire Salary Schedule; Police Salary Schedule; Hourly Salary Schedule.

The City Council approves each salary schedule and the classification of positions within that schedule as a part of its review and approval of the City's annual budget. The General Salary Schedule and the Executive and Managerial Salary Schedule are administered as a pay-for-performance system designed to compensate and reward employees on the basis of job performance. Salary schedules for Police and Fire are regulated to a greater extent by state law and such are limited to longevity or time-in-rank salary increases which may be adjusted as approved by the City Council from year-to-year for purposes of cost-of-living increases or changes in labor market conditions. The Human Resources Department works closely with all operating departments in the development of training programs directed at enhancing supervisory skills, improved employee communications, and increased employee productivity. Efforts are continually made through the pay-for-performance evaluation system to identify training and employee development opportunities, at all levels of the municipal work force, to better coordinate individual career development with the City's overall organizational goals and policies. The Human Resources Department is responsible, with approval of the City Manager, for the development, implementation and revision of all personnel policies and procedures establishing the manner in which all personnel related transactions are to be administered throughout the City. Examples of policy applications include: compensation, equal employment opportunity, leave policies, substance abuse prohibitions, employee grievance procedures, personnel records, appointments and promotions, and performance evaluations.
