Assistance was provided: Demographic and general community information was provided to a company with a branch in San Angelo. The company is looking at an expansion opportunity. The Chamber provided shovels and helped promote the Western Towers new facility groundbreaking on Monday, May 23rd. Staff later attended a luncheon at the Western Towers facility where the company demonstrated their articulated arm antenna. Demographic information was sent to a local radio station to be used in recruiting a potential advertiser. Staff assisted representatives from AT&T Corporation in updating local media on the merge of AT&T and T-Mobile. Meetings and events: John spoke with new owners of a vacant building in town. They are looking to sublease the back part of the building, which has high ceilings. Hope met with a member of the "Link 2 Business" committee to discuss particulars of the database, and an advertising spot was secured at an SBDC seminar. Staff later met with faculty and students from ASU who will be working on our database. The two students will be creating the database as a class project, and have a target completion date of August 1. Staff attended the regularly scheduled COSADC meetings. John presented on the topic of economic development to the Leadership San Angelo class on April's Chamber day. Staff attended an investor dinner where several companies presented to the group, including a medical device company we have been working with for a year. Staff and economic development partners attended a network luncheon hosted by Texas Midwest Community Network (TMCN) in San Angelo. Representatives from San Angelo, Bronte, Menard, Ballinger, Eden, Coleman and Baird discussed engaging the youth in our communities and methods to get community involvement in projects. Nicki Harle, Executive Director of TMCN, presented an overview to the Economic Development Council about the organization and its components at its April meeting.

John attended the West Texas Training Center Advisory Board meeting and a final presentation on the development review process for the City. Staff attended TMCN’s “Dinner and Conversation” at Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap. Carlton Schwab, keynote speaker, reported that the state’s economic development funds are retaining their current funding, which is good news for economic development. Prospects: San Angelo hosted two prospect visits in this quarter. Both companies were impressed with the way our economic development partners work together and the lunch format we use. A response to “Project Upstream” was submitted in April. Preparations continued for several days for the site visit, including finalizing the agenda for the day, reserving a venue for lunch, and assembling welcome baskets containing San Angelo made products. Staff spent most of the day Monday, April 25th hosting the company representatives. Economic development partners met for lunch to overview what the community could offer the prospect. Following lunch, several available buildings were visited. Unfortunately, the company selected another location closer to their customer base. In May, staff hosted a prospect visit this week for a medical device company that we have been working with on an ongoing basis. A site tour was held Tuesday afternoon (May 10th), the company presented to COSADC in executive session the following morning, and the economic development partners joined the gentlemen for lunch following the meeting. The company was pleased with San Angelo, and we received positive feedback.
An information packet was mailed to developer interested in San Angelo. Work continued with the medical device prospect. Additional information was sent to them, and a final incentive offer was submitted to the company in May. A new manufacturing lead came into our office from Mexico; an overview of our business climate was provided over the phone, and an information packet was mailed to them following the conversation. A response to “Project Demeter” was submitted at the end of June. The lead came in from a site selection company working on behalf of a snack food manufacturing company based in California. A proposal was submitted to the company. The project could potentially create 100 jobs. A lead from a San Angelo native was received. The prospective company, in the infant stage of the site selection process, could create up to 1,000 jobs in the electronic component industry. Information was compiled and sent to the company.

At the May Economic Development Council meeting, the group discussed target and demand occupations that the Workforce Board will use to define the types of jobs that are allowed assistance through workforce training programs. Staff continued to work with members of the City staff and the architects who are working on the BRC building. We walked through the building multiple times, discussed office spaces, and brainstormed design aspects for the interior. Staff made travel arrangements for Tony Villarreal who represented the Chamber at the Ports to Plains conference in Mexico.
MARKETING APRIL – JUNE 2011
Trade Shows John spent four days at the American Wind Energy Show in Anaheim, California. We placed an advertisement in the show guide (reported in 1st quarter) and participated in the following sponsorships: The High Ground of Texas Beer Bash 2011: This Special Hospitality Event was held on Tuesday, May 24th in the High Ground Pavilion at the Anaheim Convention Center. It was a great wind-down at the end of a busy conference day and a perfect pre-event before the official AWEA Dinner and other Networking events held that evening. Guests enjoyed our Famous Texas hospitality, bootscootin music by the Texas Crossroads Band, and lots of delicious Texas snacks. The event was an opportunity to interact with manufacturing companies, equipment suppliers, developers, service industries and special guests who have business dealings or an interest in the High Ground region. Approximately 3,000 people came by the booth during the bash. High Ground T-Shirts: The High Ground team and our co-exhibitors also distributed special High Ground T-shirts from our booths as part of our pre-show and at-show booth marketing campaign. The shirts had a special High Ground of Texas Wind Power graphic on the front and the logos of our sponsors on the back, including the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce. Marketing and Recruitment Trips John traveled to New York City with TexasOne and the First Lady of Texas, Anita Perry. The group was given entrée to some of the largest site selection firms in the country and was able to share information about our community with those firms in hopes that they will keep San Angelo in their minds as they work with their clientele. They had an opportunity to sit down with them and discuss what needs they are seeing in relocation efforts nationwide. The feedback we received has already been implemented in our marketing efforts. Magazine Advertisements One full page ad was submitted in Business Xpansion Journal for the August edition. (See media kit on page 6 and ad on page 8.)

Consideration of adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute a third amendment to the Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with Texas Department of Transportation for the provision of state services in the preservation and adaptive use of Lone Wolf Bridge as a historic bridge off the state system, and any future action in connection thereto.
Summary:
The Texas Department of Transportation is requesting approval of an Amendment No. 3 to the Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) executed June 23, 2009. The AFA was amended on October 20, 2009 (Amendment No. 1). A second amendment was approved on May 18, 2010 (Amendment No. 2). This Amendment No. 3 is a change requested by the administrator of the project – the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) pertaining to Exhibit C-3 of the Advance Funding Agreement.
History:
This project’s funding was awarded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in March 2009. The contract for this project was awarded on April 29, 2010 to SCR Construction Company, Inc. of Richmond Texas. There were four bidders on the project and SCR Construction had the low bid of $1,399,601.86. The amount of ARRA funds authorized for the project was $1,200,000. Per the advance funding agreement dated June 23, 2009, the City was responsible for paying any overruns. However, TxDOT identified and made available additional ARRA funds in the amount of $199,601.86 in order to fully fund the base bid. Additional funding was contributed towards the project with the 2nd amendment, which made the City responsible for any costs over $1,399,601.86. This amendment No. 3 is to show additional funding ($79,945.84) that TxDOT has put toward the project and requires the City to pay for any costs over the increased amount. Total approved funds for the Lone Wolf Bridge project is $1,479,547.70.
AFA-Amendment No. 2 Exhibit C-2 stated: The Local Government:
(1) will incorporate the Bridge at its current location into a Bike-Pedestrian Path and will allow the State necessary access for construction activities at the location;
(2) will pay for utility line and attachment components material; (3) will pay for cost of electricity for lighting upon project completion; (4) will be responsible for the project cost overrun in excess of approved $1,399,601.86
(5) will maintain the bridge after rehabilitation at its own cost in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
Advance Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) funds for this project;
AFA-Amendment No. 3 Exhibit C-3 states: The Local Government:
(1) will incorporate the Bridge at its current location into a Bike-Pedestrian Path and will allow the State necessary access for construction activities at the location.
(2) will pay for utility line and attachment components material. (3) will pay for cost of electricity for lighting upon project completion. (4) will be responsible for the project cost overrun in excess of approved $1,479,547.70
(5) will maintain the bridge after rehabilitation at its own cost in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
Advance Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) funds for this project. Any cost overrun must be approved by City Council prior to obligation.
Financial Impact: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through TxDOT funded this project. According to this amendment, the City will be responsible for any cost over $1,479,547.70. This change does not obligate the City to provide any funds at this time, but in the event that project costs exceed the before mentioned amount, then the City will be responsible for paying these costs. Related Vision Item (if applicable):

– Provide good infrastructure.
Industry Vision
– Capitalize on alternative transportation modes.
Transportation Vision

Adoption of Resolutions Authorizing the Adoption of Investment Policies for the City
Consent Item
of San Angelo.
Summary:
With the exception of three minor changes, these policies are the same as the previous policies. The changes are: (1) add brokered CD’s as an authorized investment, (2) add procedure to monitor FDIC status of issuing banks, (3) add procedure to monitor credit ratings for investments requiring credit ratings. These policies have been reviewed by the Investment Oversight Committee and are presented here with the Committee’s recommendation for approval.
The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a city’s investment policy be reviewed annually. The Act also requires that the governing body (Council) take action (documented in the minutes) on the policies yearly.
History: Both policies were previously adopted on October 5th 2010. Adopting the two 2011 policies will keep the City in compliance with the public funds investment which requires the City to review and adopt new policies yearly.
Financial Impact
: Depending upon the market and the size of the City’s portfolio, investment income has been as high as 1 million dollars per year.
Related Vision Item (if applicable): None
Other Information/Recommendation
: Staff recommends the two policies be approved as presented for the current year.
It is the policy of the City of San Angelo (the “City”) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest reasonable market return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy satisfies the requirement of the Public Funds Investment Act (the “Act”), Texas Government Code 2256, which requires the creation and annual adoption of a written investment policy and its addendums. The City Council shall review and adopt, no less than annually, the Investment Policy and its incorporated strategies. Any changes to the Policy will be detailed in the adopting resolution. Section One: Scope This investment policy applies to all the financial assets of the City except funds of Lake Nasworthy. The funds are accounted for in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include:
Operating Funds Debt Service Funds Bond, Capital and Special Project Funds Reserve Funds Non-expendable Trust Funds
Section Two: Investment Objectives and Standard of Care The objectives of the City's investment program shall be, in order of priority, safety, liquidity and yield. Safety of principal shall be the foremost objective of the City's investment program. Each investment transaction shall seek to first insure that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from securities, defaults or erosion of market value. The portfolio shall be managed with the objective of obtaining a reasonable market yield. The standard of prudence to be used by investment officers shall be the prudent person standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Investments shall be made with judgment and care under circumstances then prevailing which a person of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise in the management of his/her own affairs with consideration given to the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived. Investments shall not be made for speculative purposes. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the Investment Policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal liability for an individual security's credit or market risk, provided that deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. Section Three: Investment Strategy The City of San Angelo funds shall be commingled for investment purposes recognizing the cash flow needs of the individual funds which makeup the portfolio. The total portfolio will maintain a maximum weighted average maturity of one (1) year which is based on the cash flow analysis and cash requirements of the City.

The City of San Angelo's investment portfolio shall be diversified for safety and shall consist of a variety of securities and maturities which may include any or all of the authorized investments listed in Section Four, Authorized Investments, of this Policy. In order to meet Policy objective, securities will be of the highest credit quality and marketability. The portfolio’s objectives can be attained by utilization of high credit quality securities and a modified ladder structure in the short-term area to match known liabilities.
(1) Operating Funds - Operating funds assure that anticipated cash flows are matched for adequate liquidity on major payment obligations such as payroll. (2) Debt Service Funds - Debt service funds must cover the upcoming debt service obligations on the required payment dates. (3) Bond, Capital and Special Project Funds - Bond proceeds and special project funds are used for anticipated liabilities on the projects. (4) Reserve Funds - Reserve funds provide liquidity for fund obligations and generate a dependable revenue stream from securities. (5) Non-expendable Trust Funds - Non-expendable trust funds generate dependable revenue streams for their designated uses.
It is the City of San Angelo's intent to hold purchased securities to maturity investing in such a manner as to insure both the safety and liquidity of such transactions. However, under conditions defined and procedures approved by the Oversight Committee securities may be sold or "swapped" before maturity to capture capital gains and allow for reinvestment into the portfolio. Securities purchased specifically for non-expendable trust funds shall be valued continuously and may be sold prior to the stated maturity date in order to capture capital gains.
The City of San Angelo's investment officers, or designated investment advisors, will evaluate the City's cash position daily to determine the amount of funds available for investment and to project the term for such investments and will then decide on placement of the investment based on fund type and market conditions, fund cash flow, the offering yield for eligible investment and diversity in the portfolio Section Four: Authorized Investments The City shall invest only in those instruments authorized by law of the State of Texas (Texas Government Code 2256, Public Funds Investment Act) as further defined by this policy. Insofar as they meet this requirement, the City may invest in the following: (1) Certificates of deposit issued by state and national banks doing business in Texas that do not exceed one (1) year to maturity from date of issue, and :
a. are guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor: or b. are collateralized at 1O2% by obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities (excluding letters of credit) or direct obligations of any state, its subdivisions, or its agencies which have been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and have received a rating of not less that “A" or the equivalent.
. (2) Obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities not to exceed 3 years to their stated maturity date; (3) Fully collateralized repurchase agreements having a defined termination date not to exceed six (6) months, secured by obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, collateralized at 102%, executed under a written Master Repurchase Agreement, with securities safe-kept with a third

party selected or approved by the City, and placed through a bank doing business in Texas or a primary government securities dealer as defined by the Federal Reserve. Flex repurchase agreements used for bond funds or special project funds may have a stated termination date not to exceed the estimated completion date of the project(s). (4) Constant dollar, local government investment pools as defined by the Act, which are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized credit rating agency and have received a rating of not less than "AAA" or its equivalent.

(6) General obligation bonds of states, agencies, counties, cities and other political subdivisions of any state rated A or better or its equivalent by two nationally recognized rating agencies and with a stated maturity not to exceed two (2) years.

(8) Fully insured or collateralized, interest bearing accounts of any bank doing business in Texas. In order to provide diversification in the portfolio which reduces market and credit risk exposures the following diversification parameters are established for the Portfolio.

Effort will be made to maintain the diversification guidelines through cyclical cash flow periods.

Delivery versus Payment All security transactions (with the exception of pool or fund participation) by the City shall be purchased "delivery versus payment". That is, the City shall authorize release of its funds only after a purchased security has been received by its safekeeping agent or after the City has received notification from its safekeeping agent that a purchased security has been received in the City's safekeeping account. Competitive Bidding Required All investments shall be purchased or sold on a competitive basis with bids or offers from three City authorized broker/dealers for the best yield and maturity. Offers of new issue agencies need not be competitively bid but must be made from City authorized broker/dealers.
Loss of Rating The City is not required to liquidate investments that were authorized investments at the time of purchase. (2256.017) However, should a security that requires a minimum rating under state law not have that required rating, the investment officer shall take all prudent measures to liquidate the security. (2256.021) Monitoring FDIC Coverage The Investment Officer or Investment Adviser shall monitor, on no less than a weekly basis, the status and ownership of all banks issuing brokered CDs owned by the City based upon information from the FDIC.

Section Five: Collateral and Safekeeping Time and Demand Bank Deposits Pledged Collateral Collateralization is required on all bank time and demand deposits over the applicable FDIC insurance coverage. All securities pledged to the City for these deposits shall be held by an independent third party institution outside the holding company of the pledging bank. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of additional security for all funds, the market value of the collateral will be maintained at 102% of total principal and accrued interest. The depository will be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the collateral and margins at all times. The custodian will provide monthly reports to the City detailing the collateral. Collateral will be pledged under the terms of a written tri-party depository agreement executed under the terms of FIRREA1
. (If the custodian is the Federal Reserve the City will execute as an alternate a FRB Pledgee Agreement of Circular 7 form.) The agreement shall be approved by resolution of the bank’s board or loan committee.
Acceptable collateral shall include only obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including mortgage backed securities passing the bank test and excluding letters of credit, and municipal securities rated A or better by two nationally recognized rating agencies. Repurchase Agreements Owned Collateral Collateral under a repurchase agreement is owned by the City. It will be held by an independent third party safekeeping agent approved by the City under an executed SIFMA2
Master Repurchase Agreement. Collateral with a market value totaling 102% of the principal and accrued interest is required and the counter-party is responsible for the monitoring and maintaining of collateral and margins at all times.
Safekeeping The laws of the State, this Policy, and prudent treasury management require that all securities be settled on a delivery versus payment basis and be held in safekeeping by an independent third party financial institution approved by the City. Securities shall not be bought from the banking services bank in order to perfect delivery versus payment separation in the transaction. All safekeeping arrangements shall be approved by the Investment Officers and an agreement of the terms executed in writing. The third party custodian shall be required to issue safekeeping receipts to the City listing each specific security, rate, description, maturity, cusip, and other pertinent information. Each safekeeping receipt shall be clearly marked that the security is held for the City.

It is the policy of the City of San Angelo (the “City”) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest reasonable market return with the maximum security while meeting the objectives of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

The standard of prudence to be used by investment officers shall be the prudent person standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.

Consideration of ratifying a Resolution adopted by the City of San Angelo Development Corporation on August 10, 2011 to close bank accounts, one Texpool account, and to consolidate remaining account balances.
Summary:
The Development Corporation currently has three bank accounts at First Financial
Bank and two accounts at Texpool. Staff would like to propose closing two of the bank accounts and
one Texpool account. Bank accounts Development Corporation I and the Grant account have not had
any activity in the last few years so staff would propose closing these two accounts. All funds from the
two closed accounts would be moved into the primary Development Corporation II account. The
original Texpool Development Corporation I account was established to accommodate funds in the
beginning. No activity has occurred in this account recently. After the account is closed, remaining
funds would be moved into Texpool Development Corporation II account.
History: Development Corporation board approved the attached resolution to perform the closures on August 10th

Regular Agenda Caption:
Consideration of adopting “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Angelo, Texas, (“City”) approving a settlement between Atmos Energy Corp’s Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos”) and Atmos Texas Municipalities (“ATM”) resulting in no change in base rates and approving tariffs which reflect costs related to the steel pipe replacement program; finding the rates set by the attached tariffs to be just and reasonable; requiring delivery of the resolution to the company and legal counsel; determining that the meeting at which this resolution was approved complied with the Open Meetings Act; making other findings and provisions related to the subject; and declaring an effective date.
A settlement between ATM Cities and Atmos Energy concerning: no base rate increase for 2011, slight customer charge adjustment for steel pipe replacement program, and working on long term rate issues.
Summary:
For the last four years ATM Cities have worked to resolve rate cases brought by Atmos Energy Corp. (“Atmos”) under a regime known as the Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”). This mechanism has operated since a February 2008 settlement agreement where a number of items that can be very contentious under traditional rate making, like the rate of return on equity and the capital structure of the utility, were stipulated.
History:
During last year’s RRM negotiations the retroactive true-up provision of RRM was eliminated. This lead to a much smaller base rate increase request by Atmos. Last year Atmos requested an increase of $70 million in base rates and this year the requested increase in base rates, excluding the steel pipe replacement program, was approximately $9 million.
Financial Impact: ATM engaged Utilitech, a rate consulting firm located in Lee’s Summitt, Missouri. The firm spent several months investigating the merits of Atmos’ $9 million increase in base rates. It issued a report which ATM’s negotiating team relied upon in trying to resolve contested issues with Atmos. After lengthy negotiations, Atmos agreed to withdraw its request for a base rate increase as part of the overall settlement.
NO BASE RATE INCREASE
Over the past few years there have been a number of explosions involving steel service lines. The worst of these lines need to be replaced rapidly. Some of the lines have been in the ground since the ‘50s. Atmos did a risk assessment which attempted to target the lines most likely to have problems. This is the second year of the steel pipe replacement program. As part of the settlement last year it was
STEEL PIPE REPLACEMENT
expected that the residential customer charge would increase this year by 40 cents as a result of steel pipe replacements. In fact, the increase in the residential customer charge turned out to be lower than expected. The increase for the residential customer charge turned out to be 35 cents, of which 29 cents of that sum is for the steel pipe replacement program. The additional 6 cents is offset by a reduction in consumption or volumetric charges. The commercial customer charge will increased by $1.22. Even with these increases, the customer charge for Atmos customers in the Mid-Tex region is among the lowest in Texas.
As part of the settlement, working groups for Atmos and ATM will begin to meet to work on issues that are difficult to resolve. In particular, under the RRM process there is not enough time to review many of the capital projects for reasonableness and prudence. The working groups should start meeting during the next 30 days. The working groups will also decide if the RRM process should be extended. If by December 15, 2011 no agreement is reached on the appropriate treatment of rate issues identified by the working groups or no agreement has been reached to extend RRM , then, Atmos will file a general rate case with all cities, other than the City of Dallas, no later than January 15, 2012. If an extension in the RRM is agreed to before December 15, 2011, then Atmos will file an RRM no sooner than April 1, 2012.
WORKING GROUPS
If a city should choose not to approve the settlement it is likely that the decision will be appealed to the Railroad Commission by Atmos. A litigated appeal of this sort could cost well over $1 million, including the rate case expenses of Atmos and the city. An appeal of this sort will be extremely difficult to pursue if most of the cities located in the Mid-Tex Division have adopted the settlement.
FAILURE TO APPROVE SETTLEMENT
Other Information/ Recommendation
Staff recommends that the settlement be adopted. It is the belief of Counsel that a litigated outcome is unlikely to result in a better outcome for ratepayers. The settlement is effective on September 1, 2011. It is important for ATM cities use their best efforts to adopt the resolution implementing the new tariffs by September 1, 2011.

Subject:
possible annexation (to San Angelo’s City limits) of certain properties located northeast of San Angelo
Location: area bounded roughly by North U.S. Hwy. 67 on the south, North U.S. Hwy. 277 on the east, Farm-to-Market Hwy. 2105 on the north, and a combination of Schwertner and Pruitt Roads on the west

Discussion and possible action to initiate annexation of property (to San Angelo’s City limits) within revised boundaries including certain properties located northeast of San Angelo, encompassing an area bounded roughly by North U.S. Hwy. 67 on the south, North U.S. Hwy. 277 on the east, Farm-to-Market Hwy. 2105 on the north, and a combination of Schwertner and Pruitt Roads on the west
Summary:
City Council discussed this item on February 1, of 2011, at which time they instructed staff, by way of a 5-2 vote, to initiate discovery of this process. As part of this process, Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government code requires that a “development agreement” be offered to all property owners within the prospective area of annexation whose properties are categorized as agricultural for ad valorem tax purposes. This agreement offers a guarantee of fifteen years to the owner, during which the City would agree to not annex their property. However, the property must continue to be used in a way consistent with the agricultural designation. Furthermore, they agree to follow the regulations and restrictions of the City’s Ranch and Estate (R&E) zoning district, to follow subdivision regulations, and to follow requirements for construction as if they were part of the city. They further agree to
notify both the city and any prospective purchaser of the property in writing if an ownership change is planned. The fifteen-year term can be renewed two times, for a maximum of forty-five years, at the mutual agreement of both parties.
The proposed northeast annexation area includes 60+ parcels of land, each with its own property tax account. Fifteen of these 60+ parcels are appraised for agricultural use; however, just these fifteen parcels together encompass the greater portion of land within the proposed northeast annexation area.
The affected landowners (the fifteen parcels described above) had the following options: (1) accept the agreement; (2) negotiate new language in the agreement; or (3) decline to make the agreement and, thereby, be made subject to annexation more-or-less immediately.
Planning and Legal staff members have performed the required notification of these property owners, composed a draft agreement, met with several property owners and spoken via phone with others. At this time, staff will present to the Council the results of this effort, which will affect the proposed annexation area by reducing it. Of the fifteen parcels mentioned above, fourteen have or are in the process of accepting the development agreements. The maps attached show the original area as endorsed by the City Council in February, and the revised area after eliminating those parcels whose owners have or are entering into an agreement are removed as required.
Reason(s) for Proposed Annexation:
As a reminder, the proposed annexation of land located northeast of San Angelo was prompted by the following concerns:
• A perceived need to annex property directly accessible to municipal water mains extended outside City limits. The availability of water service is the single most important factor in the development of land; without it, rural property may not be developable at all. Since 1989, San Angelo’s subdivision regulations have generally prohibited extending municipal water mains outside City limits, unless the owner(s) of property served by such extensions formally petition for annexation. In 1989, more than a few municipal water mains were already extended to areas outside City limits. San Angelo’s annexation efforts since 1989 have primarily been aimed toward incorporating such areas; however, some municipal water mains remain outside City limits. These include water mains extended alongside Old Ballinger Highway and into the Paul Gregory Addition,* within the proposed annexation area. So long as such water mains remain outside corporate limits, the City’s legal authority to consistently deny future extensions outside City limits may be in jeopardy.†
•
A perceived need to exert authority for zoning, fire and construction-related codes on property alongside along North U.S. Hwy. 67, which serves as a major gateway to San Angelo. By doing so, it is hoped the aesthetic appeal and security (fire safety) of this corridor can be maintained and not degraded any further.
* including the Chaparral Commercial Center
† i.e., without a petition for annexation, from the owner(s) of property served by such water main extensions
•
A perceived need to limit the extent and density of development around the existing Regional Landfill and its planned expansion northward. This will help minimize incompatible mix of uses, and also help limit the City’s exposure to liability stemming from undesirable external impacts of the Regional Landfill.
Related Vision Item: San Angelo’s 2009 Comprehensive Plan identifies two general goals for future annexation:
Goal 1: Use annexation to ensure that new housing and business activity is incorporated within the City limits of San Angelo, in a way which minimizes up-front municipal expenditures (for capital improvements in newly annexed areas) but maximizes suitability of such development within the urban context of San Angelo. Annex areas before extensive development of home sites and business properties occurs, guiding any such development within a framework of municipal regulations on zoning, subdivision, signs, fire prevention and building construction. Goal 2: Balance short-term costs of making measured capital improvements in possible annexation areas, with long-term costs of not annexing these same areas. Recognize that determining the best areas for annexation involves anticipating realistic potential for development of new home sites and new business activity all around the urban fringe, annexing the most promising such areas where timely application of urban development standards can have an effective impact.
Financial Impact: not applicable, yet
Recommendation: City staff recommends moving forward with an annexation of the areas as shown on the advised parcel map.

Z 11-10: San Angelo Planning Commission
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, EXHIBIT “A” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF SAN ANGELO, TEXAS, WHICH SAID EXHIBIT “A” OF CHAPTER 12 ADOPTS ZONING REGULATIONS, USE DISTRICTS AND A ZONING MAP, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY CHANGING THE ZONING AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY, TO WIT: lot at northwest corner of Country Club Road and US Hwy 277, specifically 8.614 acres of the J. Burkhardt Subdivision, abstract number 0037, changing the zoning classification from a Single-Family Residential (RS-1) to a Neighborhood Commercial (CN) District; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING A PENALTY
Summary:
The site was the subject of a sign variance request at the June 20, 2011 Planning Commission meeting. At that time, the Planning Commission directed the planning staff to initiate a zone change to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) on this property. Thus, we initiated the request at their direction.
In considering this application, the City Council may:
(1) recommend approving the proposed zone change;
(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more appropriate; or
(3) recommend denying the proposed zone change. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
North PD single-family residence, commercial East RS-1, ML Frontage Rd, US Hwy 87 South RS-1 single-family residences West RS-1 single-family residences
In June 2011, a representative from Southgate Church of Christ requested from the Planning Commission a variance from the sign ordinance so that they could have a 24’ tall, 162 square foot large sign on their property. They desire this large sign to address their lack of visibility from Highway 87/277 to the east.
Background:
The Planning Commission granted the variance with the condition that a zone change for the subject property be brought forward for action by the planning staff. This rezoning, from RS-1 to CN, would more accurately represent the unique features of this location, while still providing a buffer for the residences, primarily located to the south and west. The type of signage the church would like to place is allowed by right in commercial zoning districts and more appropriate in those types of areas.
Analysis:
The subject property, as mentioned above, is located at the intersection of two local streets. This intersection, however, is only approximately 400 feet north of the intersection of US Highway 87/277 and Grand Canal Road. The highway is, obviously, a heavily traveled thoroughfare and Grand Canal is a major arterial which is intended to provide high-speed traffic movement and act as the backbone of a street network, carrying cars from centers of activity to the rest of the community. The subject property is currently zoned RS-1, with a conditional use approved to allow nonresidential. Sections 12.604.a.2.A, 12.604.a.2.B, and 12.604.a.2.C of the Sign Ordinance state that no sign for a nonresidential use in a residential zone may exceed a maximum of 64 square feet in size, exceed a maximum of 8 feet in height, nor have more than one sign per street frontage, respectively. The larger sign that was allowed by the variance granted would fall well within the acceptable range for signage in a commercial district. With the zone change from RS-1 to CN, the sign would then fully conform to zoning ordinance regulations.
The Neighborhood Commercial zoning classification is the least intensive of the commercial classifications and would therefore be the least intrusive to the surrounding residential areas. The intensity of CN-allowed uses would have little, if any, adverse impact on the neighborhood, especially since the infrastructure to contain traffic is immediately adjacent; thus, traffic does not have to wind through residential streets to access the site. Additionally, the subject property already contains a substantial parking area such that commercial parking would not invade the neighboring residential areas. Any other commercial zoning classification would be too intensive for the area.
In addition, the use of Neighborhood Commercial zoning here would function just as it is intended to; to buffer a residential area from a nearby high-speed thoroughfare. Also, CN would provide a buffer from the ML (Light Manufacturing) zoning district immediately to the east of the subject property as well as the CH (Heavy Commercial) zoning district immediately to the south. Further, such a change is consistent with the “neighborhood” classification called for in the Vision Plan map component of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve this zone change request as presented. Planning staff received three (3) written favorable responses to the zone change notification.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and City staff recommends approving this zone change request as presented.
Notification: Twenty-eight (28) owners of nearby property were
formally notified of this application for zone change. Related Vision Item: City Council Commerce Vision Revitalize older commercial areas Compatibility of adjoining commercial and
neighborhood districts

classification from a Single-Family Residential (RS-1) to a Neighborhood Commercial (CN) District; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING A PENALTY
Summary:
The subject property is a City-owned property and, because the owner must initiate a zone change, this falls to the Council speaking for the City. On June 28, 2011, City Council instructed the planning staff to begin the zone change process. Thus, we initiated the request at their direction. As the Planning Commission voted to deny the zone change, an approval of this zone change by Council must be made by a three-fourths (3/4) majority vote as stated in Zoning Ordinance Section 212(E)(4).
In considering this application, the City Council may:
(1) approve the proposed zone change;
(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more appropriate; or
(3) deny the proposed zone change. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
North CG undeveloped field East CN self-service storage South RS-1 single-family residences West RS-1 single-family residences
In June 2011, a representative from Glen Meadows Baptist Church approached the planning staff about selling the church to a performance arts troupe.
Background:
With the current zoning classification of RS-1, entertainment-oriented businesses, which are classified under the umbrella of “retail sales and service”, are not allowed. Any development in Neighborhood Commercial districts should be low-intensity with small floor areas and limited traffic generation, and the character of development should be compatible with the surrounding residential
neighborhood. Also, Neighborhood Commercial districts should ideally be clustered around intersections of major thoroughfares.
The ordinance goes on to regulate the maximum size allowed to insure that businesses in these areas are not comparable in size to big box retailers and the like, by placing a cap on the floor area ratio within this district to 60% of the size of the tract. For example, a lot of 10,000 square feet in a General Commercial district would allow a building size up to 20,000 square feet; in contrast, this same lot in a Neighborhood Commercial district would only allow a maximum building size of 6,000 square feet, or roughly one-third the size. This regulation protects the surrounding neighborhood from massive commercial enterprises being placed immediately adjacent to them.
Another important distinction of the Neighborhood Commercial district includes a maximum height, not a feature of all commercial districts, and the most restrictive level of outside storage, called “outside display”. This storage designation limits displays outdoors to no more than 5 feet from the wall.
Analysis:
The subject property, as mentioned above, is located at the intersection of two streets. Knickerbocker Road is classified as an arterial street, intended to provide high-speed traffic movement and act as the backbone of a street network, carrying cars from centers of activity to the rest of the community. American Legion Road is classified as a collector street. Collectors are intended to provide access to neighborhoods and move traffic to arterial streets or freeways; they essentially act as ‘feeder’ streets. Both the 2003 and 2009 versions of the San Angelo Comprehensive Plan encourage clustering of commercial at intersections. The presence of nearby residential areas to the east and commercial to the west of the subject property indicates the appropriateness of Neighborhood Commercial in this area.
The intensity of CN-allowed uses would have little, if any, adverse impact on the neighborhood, especially since the infrastructure to contain traffic is immediately adjacent; thus, traffic does not have to wind through residential streets to access the site. Additionally, the subject property already contains a substantial parking area such that commercial parking would not invade the neighboring residential areas. Any other commercial zoning classification would likely be too intensive for the area. In addition, the use of Neighborhood Commercial zoning here would function just as it is intended to; to buffer a residential area from a nearby high-speed thoroughfare. Also, such a change is consistent with the “neighborhood” classification called for in the Vision Plan map component of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission voted to deny the request. Bill Lawrence made the motion to deny the request as presented, which Sam Tambunga seconded. The
motion passed, 3-2, with David Eaton and Bill Wynne voting in opposition of the motion.
Planning staff received twelve (12) written letters of opposition to this zone change request. The letters of opposition from within the 200’ notification area constitutes a total land area of approximately 14%.
Recommendation:
Planning Commission recommends denying this zone change request. City staff recommends approving this zone change request as presented.
Notification: Seventeen (17) owners of nearby property were formally notified of this application for zone change.

2011 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF SAN ANGELOThis notice concerns the 2011 property tax rates for CITY OF SAN ANGELO. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year's tax rate:
Last year's operating taxes $25,442,428
Last year's debt taxes $2,759,857
Last year's total taxes $28,202,285
Last year's tax base $3,449,820,795
Last year's total tax rate $0.81750/$100
This year's effective tax rate:
Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property)
$27,825,787
÷ This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property)
$2,765,360,753
=This year's effective tax rate $1.00622/$100
This year's rollback tax rate:
Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)
x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.97934/$100
+ This year's debt rate $0.07808/$100
= This year's total rollback rate $1.05742/$100
Statement of Increase/DecreaseIf CITY OF SAN ANGELO adopts a 2011 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $1.00622 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2010 taxes by $4,659,143.
Schedule A - Unencumbered Fund BalanceThe following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation. Type of Property Tax Fund Balance
Schedule B - 2011 Debt ServiceThe unit plans to pay the following amounts for long-term debts that are secured by property taxes. These amounts will be paid from property tax revenues (or additional sales tax revenues, if applicable).
Description of DebtPrincipal or Contract Payment to be Paid from Property Taxes

- Excess collections last year $20,934
= Total to be paid from taxes in 2011 $2,499,232

$51,005
= Total debt levy $2,550,237

Regular Item Caption:
Preliminary discussion regarding the legislative changes associated with the future procedure for conducting the general election to elect municipal officers in the City of San Angelo and any action in connection thereto
During the 82Summary: nd
Legislative Session of the Texas Legislature, Senate Bill 100 was introduced to the Texas Senate (and House Bill 111 to the Texas House of Representatives). The bill was passed by the Senate and House and was signed into law by the Governor on June 17, 2011. The purpose of the bill is to adopt voting procedures necessary to implement the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act) which is aimed at making the voting process easier and faster for military and overseas voters. Among other things, the bill states that counties are no longer required to contract with and provide electronic voting equipment to municipalities and school districts for the May uniform election date in even numbered years. This means that if an election were to be called by the City Council in even numbered years, the County would not have to assist the City as in the past. Senate Bill 100 does not affect the May uniform election date in odd numbered years.
Based on the changes to the Election Code, the City of San Angelo must choose how future elections will be conducted. There are 5 options available which are described in more detail as follows. The pros and cons of each option are also included. Option 1 – Changing to the November Uniform Election Date If the City Council wishes to maintain the staggered terms, the Council may opt to change the City’s election to the November uniform election date. This would also be done by resolution adopted by the Council. As in the prior option, any places with terms expiring in May 2012 would holdover in office until November 2012. The places with terms expiring in May 2013 would also holdover in office until November 2013. If this option is chosen, the municipal governing body election would be added to the ballot for County, State and Federal elections. The November uniform election date is the second Tuesday of November.
o Increased voter turnout Pros to Moving Election to November
o Possibility of decreased votes due to partisan voting options on the November ballot (If a voter chooses straight party voting, no votes would be cast for the City portion of the ballot unless the voter specifically chooses to vote in the City election before casting their ballot.)
Cons to Moving Election to November
o Placement of local options on the ballot may be at the end of the ballot. o Increased cost to the City as we may be required to share the cost of the additional voting locations, increased early voting days, and election workers with the County Option 2 – Purchase or Lease Electronic Voting Machines If the City Council does not wish to unstagger terms or move to the November uniform election date, then the City would purchase or lease the electronic voting machines from a company other than the County at least in even numbered years. There are not many companies however that will lease the equipment which means there is no guarantee that the City would be able to find available machines to rent. Most companies offer to sell the equipment but there are additional costs such as annual maintenance and programming.
o Able to continue elections as currently held Pros to Obtaining Equipment from Vendor
o Much more expensive because of the initial cost to purchase the equipment, the annual maintenance fees and programming fees in addition to the purchase price
Cons to Obtaining Equipment from Vendor
o Sufficient staff not available; possible solution would be to recruit exempt employees to provide assistance with election process
o Require protected storage space o Extensive knowledge and experience of election laws, including recently adopted
legislative changes, specifically new Voter ID law o Develop method to process voters and procure necessary paperwork (EA
provides laptops to each Election Judge) o City would need to sync voter information to update all voting history to reflect the
voter voted in the City election o As required by law, we would contract with the schools to conduct their elections,
with the exception of Water Valley and Christoval (hold in November) (EC Sec. 11.0581) – Wall, Veribest, & Grape Creek
o Ability of EA assisting will be very limited, if at all o In 2005, Counties received funds under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
funds to purchase equipment Option 3 – Partner with the San Angelo Independent School District (SAISD) and other Independent School Districts (ISDs) to purchase additional equipment and provide necessary staff to continue holding elections in even numbered years If the City Council wishes to keep the elections as currently conducted, the City, SAISD, and other ISDs would agree to partner via interlocal agreement to purchase the additional equipment and hire staff, thereby providing the Elections Administrator the means and support to continue holding elections in even numbered years. Pros to Obtaining Equipment from Vendor o Able to continue elections as currently held Cons to Obtaining Equipment from Vendor o Much more expensive because of the initial cost to purchase the equipment o Elections Administrator would hire additional staff; possible solution would be to
recruit exempt employees to provide assistance throughout the election process o Potential problems or issues that may result from holding two concurrent
elections and possibly a runoff election o County Auditor has raised concerns regarding the billing of the additional
equipment and personnel o Purchase of additional server and computer equipment will be necessary to run
concurrent elections o Additional extensive services previously provided by the Elections Administrator
may be conducted through the Office of City Clerk
o Any decisions must be authorized through the TGC Commissioners Court Option 4 – Unstaggering Terms of Office Senate Bill 100 provides that a home rule law municipality may adopt a resolution providing for the election of all members of the governing body at the same election. If the City Council chooses this option, all members of the Council, the Mayor, and Chief of Police would be elected in May of odd numbered years. The places with terms expiring in May 2012 would holdover in office until May 2013. Then, in May 2013, a general election would be called for the purpose of electing the Mayor, all 6 Council members, and the Chief of Police. • Pros to Unstaggering Terms
o Keep the May election date and continue to contract with the County o Reduced election costs since elections would be held only once every two
years instead of annually
• Cons to Unstaggering Terms o Risk of having an entirely new governing body at one time; no guarantee
on continuity
Option 5 – Change Length of Terms from 2 to 4 years and maintain the staggered terms If the City Council chooses this option and as part of the transition plan, all members of the Council, the Mayor, and Chief of Police would be elected in May of odd numbered years. The places with terms expiring in May 2012 would holdover in office until May 2013. Then, in May 2013, a general election would be called for the purpose of electing the Mayor, all 6 Council members, and the Chief of Police. In order to keep the staggered terms, the transition plan for SMDs 1, 3, & 5 terms would be heldover until May 2013 with the understanding that their term would expire in May 2015. The Mayor, SMDs 2, 4, & 6 terms currently expire in May 2013 and would then expire in May 2017. The Chief of Police’s term would be heldover until May 2013 and that term would expire in May 2017. This option would require a Charter Election in November 2012 to change the terms from 2 to 4 years. Should the measure fail, the election terms would revert back to 2 year terms.
Financial Impact $60,000 to $500,000 depending on which option is chosen. :

Other Information/ Recommendation
At this time, staff is looking for input from Council on the direction that should be pursued or additional research that is requested. The City Clerk has met with the Tom Green County Elections Administrator to solicit information from the County on their thoughts as well as to ask questions about the ramifications of each of the above options.
:
Should Council chose the option to move the election to November, a resolution will be required to hold over the current council member terms for SMD 1, 3, & 5 to November 2012 and SMD 2, 4, 6, Mayor until November 2013. No action is required at this time; however, the Council should direct staff in how to proceed.
