PRESENT: Mike Brice City Manager, Rose Chavez City Secretary/Asst City Manager
1. Call Meeting to Order.
Mayor Higgs called meeting to order.
2. Discussion on New Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The City Manager addressed this item with a review of the housing market in
Sanger for the year. He also continued with a discussion concerning the benefits
and risks of delaying the new wastewater treatment plant. In delaying the sewer
plant it gives the ability to raise the utility rates which will be done over a period of
years. It also allows them to collect additional tap fees, and establish some impact
fees. The more money that is collected up front, the less debt that needs to be issued.
There are two bond debt issues that will be paid, one is in 2009 and the other is in
2011. Paying off these debts will allow these monies to be utilized for future debt.
The plan is to continue with the engineering planning process and then wait on the
bidding process. This will provide two advantages; timing the issuance of the debt,
and timing the construction. This also gives the opportunity to get a better interest
rate on the debt. The delay will also allow the completion of the comprehensive
water/wastewater study. Freese & Nichols is one engineering firm that was
contacted, and they will also contact one other firm. The study will give the City
and advantage by identifying the needs of the City for the next five, ten and twenty
years. This will help in the design of the treatment plant.
City Manager indicated there are two risks that are a concern. The interest rates
for the bond debt are unpredictable, and the economy is also a factor. The interest
rate could possibly be higher when the bond debt is issued. The construction cost is
another factor. Currently, with the economy factors as they stand, there are
contractors that need to work, and this is an advantage.
City Manager advised that the pressure to build the new sewer plant is not as it was
two or three years ago. It does not eliminate the need for the new plant, only defers
it.
Councilman Ervin indicated he had a problem in getting the project engineered for
the planning preparations. If it is delayed, he does not want the City to have to
completely re -do the engineering process. He does not want to get into a situation as
they have done in the past with a previous engineering firm.
City Manager advised this will not happen. The City has an advantage by having a
City Engineer and Upper Trinity's Engineers reviewing the plans.
Discussion continued and the City Manager advised that the City will still be
complying to the State requirements by continuing with engineering the planning
process. There was discussion concerning infiltration. In the comprehensive
wastewater study they will look at putting flow -meters in the wastewater system to
identify areas where infiltration is a problem. The impact fee study was discussed.
The City Manager discussed reimbursement to the General Fund for the Impact
Study by the Impact Fees. This is after the fees are established and collected.
Mayor Higgs indicated that there was an Impact Fee study done a couple years ago;
however, this was not a study that set the fees in place. The study justified the tap
fee charges.
The Comprehensive Study of the system is necessary to determine the deficiencies
and to allow for future growth. It will also makes the necessary recommendations
to the City on what size lines to put in the ground.
Councilman Garza inquired on how old is the existing sewer plant.
City Manager indicated that he thinks it was started in the 70's and the last major
improvements were made in 2002.
Councilman Garza asked if there have been abnormal breakdowns in the last
couple of years.
City Manager indicated there has not been anything abnormal. There are repairs
that occur and currently a blower motor was replaced. The old sewer plant is 4
separate plants and in the past we have added to what was there to get by during the
years.
The City Manager indicated he is not saying we do not need a new sewer plant, but
he is asking for it to be deferred for at least 6- to 12-months. The planning process
and the engineering will be completed by mid -summer and at that time they can
proceed forward.
Discussion continued concerning the old sewer plant.
Councilman Muir indicated that he asked previously asked on the possibility of
keeping the old plant with the new plant.
The City Manager advised that everyone he has talked to has indicated this would
not be a good idea.
It was discussed that the new sewer plant will take at least two years to complete.
There was discussion and concerns if the housing market improved. City Manager
discussed utilizing Upper Trinity's package plant if this were to occur. The City
would bear the cost to operate.
3. Discussion on Banning Cell Phone Use in School Zones.
City Manager advised that Councilman Patton had requested this item to be on the
agenda for discussion. Most of the ordinances that cities have in place are basically
the same wording. They basically ban the use of hand-held devices in school zones
when the school zone is active. North Richland Hills is the most restrictive. City
Manager advised that currently there is a State Statue that prohibits anyone less
than 18 years of age to be using a cell phone while operating a vehicle.
Councilman Ervin and Councilman Patton both discussed the safety issues
concerning the use of cell phones. Councilman Patton discussed there have been
several incidents in some of the schools concerning this situation. This is a safety
issue.
Councilman Ervin indicated this should apply to Police Officers, and there should
not be an exception.
Discussion followed concerning passing an ordinance and enforcement measures.
City Manager advised he will have an ordinance for their consideration on the next
agenda.
4. Overview of Items on Regular Agenda.
City Manager reviewed item 447 regarding the residential estate roadway
requirements. They removed the asphalt option from the ordinance. The road has
to be concrete and can be open ditch.
Mayor Higgs discussed the problem concerning the semi -trailers turning on the
overpass by Keaton Road and on Cowling Road by Hunter's. The Mayor asked if
the State has done anything to rectify this problem by the overpass.
The City Manager indicated the State has not done anything and it is a lengthy
process to get the State to correct the problem.
The Mayor suggested that the City could get some crush rock and put it on those
two places to help correct the problem.
The City Manager indicated that crush rock would not work; it would need to be
done in asphalt. The City can fix the problem, but it has to meet TX -DOT
standards.
Discussion continued concerning the problem when a semi -trailer gets stuck in those
corners. Mayor Higgs commented that it would be to the City's advantage to
correct the problem.
City Manager advised he will get a cost estimate and the standards that have to be
met for TX -DOT.
Councilman Patton expressed a concern regarding items 5 & 6 with the special use
permit for the business that is to be located at Cotton Patch. The special use permit
is for a veterinary establishment. The current establishments that are located in this
center are businesses that need to maintain a sterile environment. He thinks having
a veterinary establishment in this area will create a problem.
City Manager gave a brief overview of the use request.
Discussion continued and concerns were expressed regarding allowing the specific -
use permit. The possibility of large animals, noise and odor were concerns. There
was also discussion concerning the process of the removal of an SUP if a business
was non -compliant.
5. Adjournment,
Mayor Higgs adjourned the meeting.

Council Ervin inquired on the status on the requirement for insurance for Ms.
Thompson.
City Secretary advised that Ms. Thompson had visited with the City Manager and
she is getting the quotes from the insurance as required. Ms. Thompson will be
getting liability insurance.
Councilman Walker indicated his concern was confidential information.
City Manager advised the liability information will cover those areas. She does not
need to be bonded since she will not be handling cash.
Councilman Walker expressed this can be done in a confidentiality agreement.
There was discussion and clarification on the type of information Ms. Thompson
has access to. There was discussion concerning the rate of pay. Councilman
Walker indicated that the hourly wage for what we are paying for IT services is low
in comparisons to what other people charge for this type of service. There was also
clarification on the bill from Techline.
Motion was made by Councilman Patton to approve the Consent Agenda.
Seconded by Councilman Muir. Motion carried unanimously.
4. Consider any Items Removed from Consent Agenda.
5. Conduct Public Hearing on Ordinance #10-32-08 -Amending the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance and Central Zoning Map as Amended by Issuing a Specific Use
Permit for a Veterinarian Hospital (Inside Pens Only) in a B-1 (Business District) on
Property Legally Described as Tract 241 of the Henry Tierwester Survey. The
Subject Property is Located at 904 S. 5`h Street.
Mayor declared Public Hearing opened.
Dr. Wallace, veterinarian, residing at 1638 County Road 2070 in Gainesville, Texas
indicated she is interested in opening a clinic in Sanger at 904 S. 5t'' Street. They
will spay and neuter, take care of sick dogs and cats in this facility. They will not be
boarding any animals at this facility. This will be strictly inside and there will not
be any outside pens. They will take all measures necessary for the dogs to not
disturb the neighbors in the areas. She discussed the insulation of the building that
would keep the noise level down. There should be 14 kennels and a small
quarantine area with three rooms.
Discussion continued concerning the fire walls.
Councilman Muir indicated since this is not astand-alone facility there are health
issues that are a concern. There is a beauty shop and a donut shop in this center. He
asked if Ms. Wallace could address this concern.
Dr. Wallace indicated that most communicable diseases in dogs and cats are
parasites. All feces will be picked up daily in the area where they walk the dogs.
Dogs and cats do not carry diseases that can be given to people, other than the
parasite problem.
Councilman Garza expressed a concerned with the noise and odor.
Dr. Wallace indicated all feces will be picked up and assured Council this would
never be a problem. There will be an office manager and a technician that will be in
the office during business hours.
City Manager asked if she had looked at the possibility of a stand-alone facility.
Dr. Wallace indicated she had not. This location was accessible from the interstate
and public access was not difficult.
City Manager advised that the concern the Council has is the impact to the
established businesses that are at this location.
Dr. Wallace advised there is a veterinarian facility that is next door to a donut shop
in Krum, Texas and it does not seem to be creating a problem.
Discussion continued.
Mayor declared public hearing closed.
6. Consider and Possible Action on Ordinance #10-32-08 - Amending the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Central Zoning Map as Amended by Issuing
a Specific Use Permit for a Veterinarian Hospital (Inside Pens Only) in a B4
(Business District) on Property Legally Described as Tract 241 of the Henry
Tierwester Survey. The Subject Property is Located at 904 S. 5t" Street.
Councilman Muir asked what was the vote of the Planning and Zoning.
City Manager indicated it was approved for recommendation, but the vote was not
noted.
Motion was made by Councilman Patton to deny the special -use permit Ordinance
#10-32-08. Seconded by Councilman Ervin. Motion carried 44. Councilman Muir
voted no.
7. Consider and Possible Action on Ordinance #10-33-08 -Amending the Subdivision
Ordinance, Section 5 "General Plat Requirements" and Section 6, "Improvements"
by Adding Estate Residential Street Classification to Section 5.
City Manager gave a brief summary of the ordinance requirements.
Councilman Garza expressed a concern on the streets being narrower and it
creating a problem for emergency vehicles.
City Manager explained the streets will be 28 ft. The lots in a rural subdivision have
acreage and the possibility for cars to park in the street is not a concern as it would
be in a residential subdivision. City Manager indicated that if someone drove
through a rural subdivision they would not see cars parked in the street.
Discussion continued concerning the width of the streets. City Manager advised
there will be cul-de-sacs for emergency vehicles and trucks to turn.
Motion made by Councilman Ervin to approve Ordinance #10-33-08. Seconded by
Councilman Patton. Motion carried unanimous.

HIGHLIGHTS:
The annual Friends of the Library Book Sale netted $1115.05. Clean up from the
sale took almost three weeks because no organization would take all the remainders.
ADMINISTRATION:
Reviewed the County funding agreement and submitted it to the City.
Technician resolved several problems with the air conditioning. It worked for the
book sale and most of the meetings scheduled, but Storytime moved in to the Children's
Area for the month.
Meetings attended:
Denton County Library Advisory Board, 9/18, Ponder
Training on Purchasing Using State Contracts, 9/19, Conference Call
CIRCULATION:
Took a fresh set of books to the Senior Center.
COLLECTION:
Requested some brochures in Spanish from the US government. Got too many.
Shared the excess with other small libraries.
Continued the re-barcoding project. So far we have completed nonfiction, audio
books and children's nonfiction.
Book Clubs for teens and adults met. There were Needlework and Scrapbooking
workshops for all ages.
The Storytime theme was "Opposites". At the "Tail/Small" program, kids made
an accordion folded paper doll named Mr.Tall, Mr. Small. The favorite craft for the
month was turtle and rabbit finger puppets for the "Fast/Slow" program. Kids also liked
the rhythm shaker that they made at the "Loud/Quiet" program. A puppet play "The Boy
Who Cried Wolf' was a feature of the "Good/Bad" program. Then the children made
necklaces that could be turned from a happy face to a sad face.

Looking for ways to economize,
yet still give special, meaningful pre-
sents to friends and family members
during the upcoming holiday season?
If you have been considering king
some unique gifts, now is the time to
start. And a good place to start is "The
Michaels Book of Arts and Crafts",
edited by Dawn Cusick and Megan
Kirby.
This gorgeous book was created
for Michaels Stores Inc., which de-
scribe themselves as "the nation's
largest retailer of arts and crafts ma-
terials", and with 1000 stores in the
U.S. and Canada that sounds accurate.
However, the book is remarkably free
of any self -promotion ---the title and
the first sentence of the introduction
are the only mention of Michaels, and
the supplies and materials lists don't
use brand names or give suggestions
where to buy them.
At over 500 pages, with color
photographs on almost every page,
thelbook is organized by the medium
used, such as glass, wood, beads, and
paper. Each section has instructions
on making a few not -too -difficult
items, then a photo gallery illustrat-
ing more elaborate creations using
those same techniques. From paint-
ing and etching glass to wood burn-
ing, card making, and creating beaded
jewelry, 27 techniques are covered by
32 creative designers. Instructions are
clear, and most projects seem do -able,
even with little or no prior experience
in a particular technique.

In sampling so many areas of arts :
and crafts, an in-depth study of a cer-
tain type is not possible, but the edi-
do an admirable job in providing
a variety of simple and thoroughly ex-
plained projects, yet also demonstrat-
ing some of the more complex possi-
bilities. Fabric crafts are an area that
is shortchanged ---only tie dye and
painting on fabric are included. Noth-
ing in the area of fiber arts is included:
no sewing, quilting, ribbon work, cro-
chet, knitting, or embroidery.
Michaels does have a separate
needlecrafts book which focuses on
knitting, crochet, and embroidery.
Interested in creating humorous
gel or traditional wax candles? In-
structions and examples are provided
here. Want to learn to apply gold or
silver leaf? It's in here. How about
making Christmas ornaments of poly-
mer clay, or bread dough, or painted
or etched glass? Great photos and in-
structions are right here. Would you
like to make a personalized clock, fra-
grant bars of soap, a mosaic serving
tray, or decorate photo frames in a va-
riety of unique ways? All these and
more are in this packed overview of
crafting methods and mediums.
"The Michaels Book of Arts and
Crafts" is available at the Sanger Pub-
lic Library, of 501 Bolivar. Reserva-
tions for this enjoyable book, bound
to stimulate those creative urges, can
also be made by phone at 45&3257,

MUNICIPAL PROPERTY TAXES AFTER SCI300L
FINANCE REFORM
Introduction
In an August 2008 report, the TIARA Research Foundation reached several conclusions
regarding the effects of the 2006 school finance reforms enacted by the Texas Legislature.
First, the report correctly concludes that the school property tax cuts that accompanied school
finance reform mean that total property taxes in Texas are $7 billion less today than they
would have been in the absence of the 2006 reforms.
The report reaches a more controversial conclusion, however, when it states that cities,
counties, and special districts "chose to accelerate their tax increases" in the two tax years
(2006 and 2007) following the school property tax cuts. As evidence for this conclusion, and
specifically with respect to cities, the report states that total city property taxes have risen by
$1.2 billion, or 24.5 percent, since 2005. That total levy increase is the basis for TTARA's
conclusion that cities, among others, "chose" to accelerate their property taxes.
One would have expected TIARA to explore the reasons property taxes increased in the two
tax years after school finance reform. The TIARA report did not do so; this analysis does.
Preliminary Numbers
It should first be noted that TTARA's report is based on preliminary property tax data that
has not been formally released. Data on 2007 tax levies won't ordinarily be released by the
state comptroller until December 2008 or January 2009. In a sense, the supporting data for
one-half of the TTARA report's conclusions about property tax increases are therefore an
estimate.
Nevertheless, TML obtained the same preliminary numbers from the comptroller for
purposes of this report. We will examine the evidence again when the data is formally
released later this year or early next year.
New Property
According to the U.S. Census, 210,600 new residential housing units were permitted in Texas
in 2005, with a total value of $26.8 billion added to city tax rolls.' Those 2005 new homes
began appearing on the tax rolls in 2006, the first of the two tax years following school
finance reform.2
In 2006, 216,600 new residential housing units were permitted in Texas with a total value of
$29.2 billion added to the tax rolls.
Thus, for purposes of tax years 2006 and 2007, approximately $56 billion in new property
went on the tax rolls in the form of new housing. That $56 billion generated approximately
$324 million in new city taxes, which represents a significant 27-percent share of the $1.2
billion tax increase that TTARA estimates in its report. 3
Why is it important to break out the taxes on new homes when trying to make sense of the
TTARA report? It's because taxes on newly constructed homes have no effect whatsoever
on the taxes of homes and businesses that already existed in 2005, the year before school
finance reform. The point of examining taxes following school finance reform is to
determine if a typical homeowner's tax bill went up and, if so, by what amount. Excluding
taxes on new construction is the only way to make such a meaningful comparison.
Thus, the $1.2 billion in increased city taxes can be whittled down to an "effective" $876
million increase in the two years since school finance reform.
� Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Construction Reports, "New Residential Construction." See Internet site
http://www.census.Gov/coast/www/newresconstindex.hhnl. Note: typically, cities are the only units of
government in Texas that require a permit for residential construction, so it is safe to assume that nearly all
the value in the census data applies to cities. To the extent this is not the case, it is counterbalanced by the
fact that many cities, particularly smaller cities, don't require a residential construction permit. Thus, a
substantial amount of taxable value added to city tax rolls wasn't captured by the census data.
'` Note: not all permitted homes were actually built in the same year that the permit was issued due to
construction lag. However, the carry-over in home completions from previous permit years likely balances
out the lag in yet4o-be completed homes. For purposes of this analysis, therefore, the assumption is made
that the value of all 2005 permits appeared on the tax rolls in 2006.
3 This analysis does not consider the added value of new commercial properties. Including such properties
would significantly increase the share of the $1.2 billion growth that was due to new construction.
Unfortunately, the census data isn't as precise here, but a rough estimate can be made. According to
comptroller data, the ratio of residential to commercial real property appraised value within Texas cities is
approximately 3.2 to 1. If the growth rate in new commercial property value approximated the growth rate
in new residential property value (very possible, as census data does show that the value of non-residential
construction contracts in Texas for 2005-2006 was approximately 48 percent of the value of residential
contracts), it wouldn't be surprising if as much as $100 million of the $1.2 billion tax increase represented
taxes on new commercial property.
2
Voter -Approved Debt
New voter -approved debt issued by Texas cities averaged $731 million per year in 2003-
2004. Those were the two debt issuance years that triggered tax levies for 2004 and 2005,
the two tax years prior to school finance reform.4
In 2005-2006, new voter -approved debt issued by Texas cities averaged $1.15 billion per
year. Those were the two debt issuance years that triggered tax levies for 2006 and 2007, the
two tax years after school finance reform.
Thus, the increased rate of voter -approved debt service in the two tax years after school
finance reform added an "extra" $838 million in voter -approved debt to the tax rolls
compared to what had been added in the two years prior. The new city levy needed to
service this increased debt was somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million,5
For purposes of this discussion, that's $50 million in new taxes that were already "pre -
approved" by the voters, and yet were treated the same as any other tax levy by the TTARA
report.
It's reasonable to conclude that, adjusted for voter -approved debt and for new property, the
$1.2 billion tax increase in the two years since school finance reform is reduced at least to
$826 million. At least one-third of the city tax increase since school finance reform, in other
words, has been levy that has either had no effect on existing homeowners and businesses, or
was new debt service pre -approved by the voters.
Tax Rates
There is direct evidence that city officials took little notice of school finance reform when
setting their tax rates. According to the comptroller, the following indicates average city tax
rates for the past three years:
October 2005 = $0.4863 / $100
***School Finance Reform Occurs In May 2006***
October 2006 = $0.4865 / $100
October 2007 = $0.4858 / $100
As the figures indicate, city tax rates have stayed remarkably stable, and provide no
indication that city officials consciously reacted to school finance reform in any way.
Critics might point out that stable tax rates could show an unwillingness to adjust tax rates
downward as appraised values increase. Data collected by TML surveys show this not to be

the case, though. In each odd -numbered year, TML conducts a membership survey that,
among other things, compares the adopted (nominal) property tax rate to the effective rate (a
baseline rate that would yield the same amount of property tax revenue as in the prior year).
Here are the results for tax year 2007:
Nominal Tax Rate Relative to Effective Rate in 2007
(420 Cities Responding to 2007 Survey)
Nominal Rate Lower than Effective Rate (Less Total Property Tax Revenue than 2006) _
53 cities
Nominal Rate Equal to Effective Rate (Same Total Property Tax Revenue as 2006)
= 145 cities
Nominal Rate Greater than Effective Rate (More Total Property Tax Revenue than 2006) _
222 cities
(Median Increase Over Effective Rate = 4.0%
Texas State Population Growth (2006-2007) = 1.5%
U.S. Urban CPI Growth (2006-2007) = 2.8%
Combined Population Growth + CPI (2006-2007) = 4.3%
This chart shows that, by adopting a tax rate at or below the effective rate, 198 out of 420
es (47 percent) voluntarily fell behind inflation and population growth. Of the 222 ces
that took in more property taxes by exceeding the effective rate, one-half exceeded the
effective rate by under four percent: less than population growth plus inflation.
Conclusion
The TTARA Foundation's conclusion that Texas cities "chose" to accelerate tax increases in
response to school finance reform ignores: (1) increases due to new property added to the
rolls after school finance reform —levy that has no impact on existing homeowners and
businesses; (2) voter -approved debt; (3) the fact that city tax rates have been stable; and (4)
the comparison of city tax rates to the effective rate, a comparison that reveals increases that
are in line with inflation and population growth.

TOM PAUAEN'S MISLEADING EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS
When readers of the TML Legislative Update last encountered Mr. Thomas Pauken (the
February 21, 2008, issue), he was disseminating some worthless data that he claimed was
proof of the oppressiveness of the municipal property tax in Texas and the profligacy of
Texas city officials. His trumped-up numbers did nothing of the sort, of course, and some
very basic research done by TML blew Mr. Pauken's thesis out of the water.
Since that time, Gov. Rick Perry has appointed Mr. Pauken to the chairmanship of the Texas
Workforce Commission (TWC), where he can use state resources to continue his attacks on
city and county officials.
In late August, Mr. Pauken issued a TWC press release in which he lamented the fact that
roughly 16,000 of the 17,500 new jobs created in Texas in July 2008 were government jobs.
While pondering the cause, Mr. Pauken offered what he called a "clue" and went on the
blame cities and counties for the growth in governmental jobs.
We suggest that Mr. Pauken should: (a) consult with the experts in his own agency and (b)
get another clue. It turns out that:
1. Most of the growth in government jobs is explained by school districts hiring
teachers.
2. It's not at all unusual for seasonally -adjusted growth in government employment to
spike in July. The growth in July 2006 was 10,500; in July 20073 it was 11,000.
Again, most of this growth is related to schools.
3. Job growth over time is a much more important statistic than is the change in any
given month, especially when seasonally -adjusted figures are used. That longer -term
analysis shows that between July 2007 and July 2008, the growth in government jobs
in Texas was 1.4 percent.
If Mr. Pauken had waited one month to do his analysis, he would have had a remarkably
different "clue." Government employment in Texas fell by 4,100 in August 2008. We
wonder how he would have explained that.
The bottom line is that job growth over time in the Texas government sector has been modest
and is influenced primarily by public school employment. Perhaps Mr. Pauken thinks these
teachers should draw unemployment benefits instead of going to work educating our
children. We'll bet Texas parents would disagree.
TEXAS CITY ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION COMPLETES STUDY
OF HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RETAIL -ONLY ADULT BUSINESSES
Most people recognize that sexually oriented businesses (SOBS) have negative effects on the
surrounding area. That's what justifies municipal regulation in the first place. However,
several Texas cities have learned in court that traditional academic studies of the negative
effects of on -premise SOBS weren't legally sufficient to justify their regulations that apply to
other types of SOBS.
Encore Videos (Encore) is an adult video store in San Antonio, Texas. Encore sells and rents
sexually explicit videos for off -premises -only viewing. The city has an ordinance that
defines "sexually oriented businesses" (SOBS) to include stores with twenty percent or more
of inventory or floor space devoted to sexually explicit material, and prohibits such SOBS
from operating within 1,000 feet of each other, a residential area, a school, a public park, or a
place of worship.
Encore moved to a new location that was within 1,000 feet of a residential area, and then
filed suit against the city to challenge the ordinance under the First Amendment. The city
answered the suit with a motion for summary judgment, and cited three well-known studies
of on -premise SOBs to show that off -premises -only adult bookstores produce adverse
secondary effects. The federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the three studies were
insufficient because they do not differentiate between subcategories of adult bookstores, and
do not specifically address off -premises -only establishments.
Meanwhile, the City of Kennedale was involved in a similar case in North Texas. In that
case, the city successfully presented testimonial evidence at trial of negative secondary
effects of off -premises -only establishments, though at considerable expense to the city.
In response to both of these cases, the Texas City Attorneys Association (TCAA) Board of
Directors commissioned a study by nationally -known experts in the field, with the goal of
determining the extent to which retail -only sexually oriented businesses with no on -premises
entertainment cause harmful effects on surrounding property values and crime rates.
The study was funded by TCAA and various cities, and is divided into two parts: (1) a survey
of Texas real estate appraisers; and (2) a study of crime -related secondary effects in the City
of San Antonio, including a review of other crime -related studies. The results of the study
indicate that property values and ambient crime rates are negatively affected by the presence
of retail -only adult businesses. The full document is available online at:
http://www.texascityattomeys.org/pdf/StudyofSecondaryEffectsCrime Final.pdf
Thanks to the support of several cities (Alvarado, Arlington, Austin, Baytown, Benbrook,
Boerne, Bowie, Burleson, Comanche, Conroe, Coppell, Corinth, Denton, Fort Worth, Frisco,
Garland, Grand Prairie, Harker Heights, Houston, Kennedale, Kerrville, Kilgore, Killeen,
Lake Worth, Livingston, Mansfield, Midland, New Braunfels, Ovilla, River Oaks, Rockport,
Southlake, and Sugarland), TCAA has made the study available free of charge to any city
that would like to use it. TCAA hopes that the study will be of benefit to any city that is
seeking to justify its SOB ordinance.
CITIES USE MEET AND CONFER AUTHORITY
TO THEIR ADVANTAGE
In 2005, the legislature passed a law granting certain cities the discretion to "meet and
confer" with police and/or fire associations. (Note: the law applies to any city with a
population of 50,000 or more and to cities that have adopted Chapter 143 of the Local
Government Code (fire/police civil service), but not to cities that have adopted Chapter 174
of the Local Government Code (collective bargaining), nor to Austin, Houston, or Dallas.)
Neither a public employer nor a police or fire association is required to meet and confer. If a
city and a police or fire association agree to meet and confer, they may discuss wages,
salaries, hours of work, and other terms and conditions of employment.
Some assign a negative connotation to the meet and confer process, but two cities have used
the process to negotiate better hiring practices — both for the city and for new recruits.
The City of Abilene had previously adopted civil service for its police officers and fire-
fighters. Because of that, the city was eligible to take advantage of the 2005 meet and confer
laws. In response to a petition from police and fire associations, the city council recognized
the associations and began the meet and confer process.
While the city and the associations dealt with many issues during the process, one in
particular stands out. The statutory civil service process includes an entrance exam for police
and fire recruits. While that exam may be valuable in some cities, officials in Abilene felt
that it was an unnecessary impediment to their ability to hire new recruits. Through meet and
confer agreements, the city negotiated away the written examination. According to a recent
article in the Abilene Reporter -News:
"Approximately 98 percent of applicants who took the test passed the test, so the
test did not seem to be a good predictor of future success in the police academy, "
Assistant Police Chief Stan Standridge said. Additionally, Assistant Police Chief
Ken Merchant said, there is also some considerable expense involved in each test
process, "considering the cost of the test itself and the cost to provide 10 to 15
personnel to register and monitor the day of the test. "
Fire Chief Ken Dozier said... "Since the written test no longer serves to determine
the hiring order/ranlzing order, it really became a step that served little
purpose... What it did serve could be dealt with by other portions of the hiring
process. So, by elimination of this test, we have one less hurdle that we have to
clear before hiring new employees. "
Applicants still must pass physical agility standards, background checks, and oral interviews
before qualifying to enter the city's police academy, but the outmoded entrance exam
requirement was eliminated thanks to the flexibility provided by the meet and confer statute.
The City of Brownwood also recently negotiated meet and confer agreements with its police
and fire associations. Various provisions in the agreements benefit both the city and its
public safety employees. Mayor Bert Massey's quote in the Brownwood Bulletin sums it up:
II
"I must tell you candidly, I did not think this was going to be a good process, and I was
wrong."
The Abilene and BrowilWOod agreements are examples %J how a city council that chooses to
use the meet and confer process can do so in a beneficial way.
FTC IDENTITY THEFT RULES EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2008
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently adopted rules relating to identity theft "red
flags" (i.e., warning signs), pursuant to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT)
Act of 2003. (Please see "FTC Requires Businesses to Adopt Identity Theft Programs" in the
August 21, 2008, edition of the TML Legislative Update.)
Municipal utilities must, by November 1, 2008, adopt and implement a written program that:
(1) identifies relevant identity theft "red flags" to the utility or other covered entity; (2)
provides for detection of those red flags; (3) provides for appropriate responses to any red
flags that are detected; and (4) ensures that the program is updated periodically to address
changing risks.
The Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) has prepared a policy template and
related documents that are available to anyone. The TML staff has reviewed the documents,
and they appear to be an excellent starting place for the development of a policy. The
documents are available on MMUA's Web site at www.mmua.org.
The MMUA documents, along with a policy prepared by the Georgia Municipal Association,
served as models for Texas -based FACT Act documents that are now available on TML's
Web site at http://www,tml.org/le_ ag 1 topics/legal_ utilities.html.
More information on the rules and identity theft programs can be found at

to legal(d)tml.org or to the FTC at RedFlags(a,ftc.gov.
TxDOT's PRIORITIES
What is the purpose of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)? Most would say
that TxDOT exists to build and maintain state highways. However, anyone who has read the
news lately is aware that, for many reasons, state highway construction in Texas has fallen on
hard times.
Some local governments have announced that, rather than leave the safety and mobility of
their citizens to the uncertainty inherent in the state funding process, they will assume the
funding of certain state projects.
Other cities have sought and obtained federal funding for surface street improvements that
are not part of the state highway system. One source of transportation funding that local
governments use for various projects is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Bexar County, in
cooperation with the City of Elmendorf, has used CDBG funding as a way to pave streets in
the city and to improve drainage. The areas under construction are city streets that were
originally laid out in the 1880s and have been dirt or gravel roads until now.
While the first phase of construction was nearing completion, the city was surprised to
receive a letter from TxDOT. The letter, from TxDOT's Office of Civil Rights (OCR), stated
that it had received a complaint that the new street did not have sidewalks. The OCR is a
TxDOT division that is responsible for various civil rights matters relating to the agency,
such as technical assistance for the department's districts, divisions, and offices. A citizen
from the city filed the complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division,
alleging that having no sidewalks violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The
Department of Justice referred the complaint to the OCR to investigate, and the city has spent
time and resources responding to the complaint.
Of course, city officials believe that persons with disabilities deserve the protections afforded
by the ADA. The ADA may require that when sidewalks are built, they be built to certain
standards, but it doesn't require the construction of sidewalks where none previously existed.
Remember that the street in question has been unpaved, with no drainage system, for over
100 years.
Most people believe that TxDOT's primary mission is to build roads. But as recent events
have shown, that mission appears to be shifting. Now, the agency is spending time and
resources investigating the joint efforts of a city and a county to improve the quality of life
for their citizens. Perhaps the agency would be better off focusing on its own mission —
providing transportation infrastructure — rather than questioning the improvements made by
cities.
RESIDENTIAL FIRE SPRINKLERS ADDED TO IRC
On September 21, the International Code Council (IC() voted to include a residential fire
sprinkler requirement in the International Residential Code (IRC). The new code provision
will require all new one -family and two-family homes and townhouses to be built with fire
sprinklers installed. This change will be included in the 2009 edition of the International
Residential Code, which should be published by the end of this year.
The ICC is a membership organization that develops the codes used to govern the
construction of residential and commercial buildings, including the IRC and the International
Building Code (IBC), among others. In 2001, the Texas legislature adopted the IRC as the
standard building code for residential construction in Texas.
It is important to keep in mind that a city need not adopt building codes at all. However, a
city that chooses to adopt and enforce building codes must operate under the IRC
for residential construction, and the IBC for commercial and multi -family housing.
Under Texas law, a city that adopts the International Residential Code may amend it to meet
local concerns. Thus, if a city does not wish to require builders to comply with the new fire
sprinkler rules, it may amend the new code locally to exclude those requirements. If you
have questions about this rule or need more information, please contact the TML Legal
Department at (512) 231-7400 or legal(&tml.org.
$178 MILLION MADE AVAILABLE TO TEXAS CITIES UNDER
NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM
As part of the American Housing and Economic Recovery Act passed on July 30, 2008, the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program, an allocation of $3.92 billion to the states to deal with
the increased number of home foreclosures. Under this program, local governments must use
grant money to acquire property, demolish and redevelop abandoned properties, and/or offer
down payment and cost assistance to low- or moderate -income homebuyers.
Texas is expected to receive over $178 million dollars under the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program, which is to be distributed as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
to areas hit hardest by the foreclosure crisis. Of this amount, $76 million is to be distributed
in already -determined amounts to areas specified under the program, which include: Harris
County, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Dallas County, Tarrant County, El Paso,
Hidalgo County, Fort Bend County, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Arlington, and Garland. These
areas will need to apply directly to HUD in order to receive their allocated funds. The
remaining $102 million will be allocated to the "state program," and local governments other
than those already receiving funds under the program may apply to the state for this money.
On October 6, 2008, HUD released its rules for the implementation of the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program. At the state level, the method of administering the $102 million in
Texas "state program" funds for local governments has yet to be determined. The Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs has announced an input session on the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program to be held in Austin on October 15, 2008. League staff
is following the process closely, and will provide future updates.
