Dear Philip:

to 1979 the Authority was created by a special act of the Texas Legislature to serve focal governments in matters relating
to water, wastewater and solid waste. Initially, the Authority began these activities in Grayson County, Today it has
projects in Collin, Cooke, Denton, Fannin, Grayson and Wise Counties. The Authority has no taxing power and operates
through contracts for services with its constituents. Each project is operated as a separate activity with expenses
directed to that project.
There is a General Fund, which contains expenses that apply to the overall administration of all the Authority's activities.
in the past, General Fund expenses have been paid from two sources, interest income and contracts for specific services
such as water/wastewater operation services, inspection services, and administrative services.
Currently, about half of the General Fund budget is supported by Contracts for Water Supply and Sewer Services (see
Attachment 1j. The Authority currently provides administrative support to both the North Texas Groundwater
Conservation District and the Red River Groundwater Conservation District. The General Fund budget has been stable
for the past three years except for the additional costs needed for the Groundwater Conservation Districts. All of those
costs are being paid by the Groundwater Conservation Districts.
The other source of income for the General Fund is interest income. The Authority manages an investment portfolio
fihat is currently approximately $31MM. !n the past, interest earnings from the investment portfolio have been
sufficient to support the General Fund requirements. The General Fund expenses are allocated based on a percentage of
the total outstanding debt administered by the Authority. The current outstanding debt is approximately $117.880MM.
The Authority must manage the investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Public Funds
Investment Act. These requirements apply to most public entities in Texas. This Act insures that investments are made
in safe and prudent instruments. Everyone who has made an investment personalty or professionally during the past
two to three years will recognize that returns on those investments have been declining dramatically. The investment
return on the portfolio managed by the Authority has experienced these same declines in revenue. The investment
income has declined to a paint that it is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the General Fund. Interest rates have
dropped from an average of 2% to almost zero.
Mr. Philip Sanders
April 17, 2012
Page 2
The result is a shortfall in interest income of about $423,593.00 in the Authority's General Fund, which must be shared
proportionately by the entities served. For your entity, this will be $57,256.00 (see Attachment 2).
These facts have been reviewed by the staff and Budget Committee of the Board of Directors of the Authority. The
Budget Committee has advised the staff that the only option available to correct the situation is to begin the
implementation of the Administrative Payment provided for in Article III, Section 3.01(c) of the Contract for Water
Supply and Sewer Service between the Authority and each entity served (see Attachment 3).
In fihe past 32 years the Authority has never had to rely on the Administrative Payment provision. However, the current
policies of the Federal Reserve Bank have placed limits on interest earning potential, necessitating that this provision be
employed. If and when interest rates increase, then this charge will be reduced or eliminated.
The General Fund contains the same type of costs that you probably have in your operation, which includes:
administrative salaries, office lease, utilities, and similar overhead expenses. It also contains the expenses necessary to
provide contract services, which are already being paid for by the entities receiving those services.
The Board of Directors and staff have made a deliberate effort to contain General Fund costs over the past severalyears,
as interest rates declined. As an example, there have been no salary increases approved by the Board of Directors for
the past three years. The staff has also actively worked to secure additional contract services to reduce the dependence
upon interest income.
Since the allocation of these administrative costs is based on a percentage of the total outstanding indebtedness, each
entity`s Administrative Payment has been calculated uniformly. I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this with
you at your earliest convenience.

AGENDA SUBJECT: Presentation and discussion regarding on proposed shooting
range.
SUMMARY: In early April, Mr. David Matthews sent an Email to the City Manager. In
this Email, he informed the City that he was interested in "establishing a Training Facility
for Firearms" to provide citizens the opportunity for training and education.
At my request, Sgt. Caponera made contact with Mr. Matthews to gather information. He
related to Sgt. Caponera that the range was in the planning stages. Mr. Matthews said
that he owned 70 acres on County Rd 472, about 1 mile south of County Rd 475. That
location is in the southeastern Anna ETJ, east of SH 121.
Mr. Matthews relayed that the plan was to have a facility large enough to accommodate a
15-20 bay, 100-yd rifle range; a 20-30 bay handgun range, and 4-5 tactical bays for
competition shooting. He said that the rifle range would be baffled to eliminate the
possibility of "fly -over" projectiles. Mr. Matthews advised that there was a creek on the
property and that he intended to have a plan in place to deal with lead.
Mr. Matthews included information that a Mr. Phil Ryan would be the manager/operator
of the range.
After the Council was briefed in the Council meeting of June 12 and Mr. Mathews was
unable to attend, I have invited him to attend this meeting to answer any questions. At
the time of this staff report, Mr. Mathews has not responded to the Email invitation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: N/A (This is an agenda item that is intended to
provide the Council with as much information as possible regarding the potential location
of a firearms range within the City's planning area).

Subject: RE: Firearms Range/Anna City Council Meeting
Chief Jenks,
I am available to attend the meeting on the 10th and visit with the city council and address any questions and/or
concerns they may have.
I do not have a presentation prepared, but can discuss our plans for the facility. I am not sure what they may want to see
in way of a presentation.
We have changed our model slightly in that we do not currently have plans to open the facility to the public in typical
fashion, with "public handgun and/or rifle ranges". We are instead focused on attracting league competitors and
competitions, firearms classes, CHL qualifying, corporate use, and will be available to area police departments for
training and qualifying. We will also be selling individual memberships to individuals who qualify.
Phil Ryan will be managing the facility. I have attached Phil's resume below for you to review.
We currently have 5 bays constructed and have begun holding classes at the site. The bays are constructed at or above
industry standards and provide a very safe environment to shoot. We continue to add improvements to the facilities in
order to improve the experience.
We have filed an Environmental Stewardship Plan with the EPA addressing all environmental aspects of the facility.
I feel like we will be successful in drawing a large number of shooters to Anna on a weekly basis and hope to attract
state competitions, as well as national competitions in the future as we are able to grow.
If you have any questions, or additional information prior to the meeting, please let me know.
Sincerely,
David Mathews

Exhibits: X_ Yes No
AGENDA SUBJECT: Consider/Discuss/Action regarding a resolution approving an
adopt -a -spot program.
SUMMARY: Adoption programs are very popular throughout the country and with the
expansion of the city's trail and park system it is the right time to get involved. City staff
and the Parks Board have previously drafted a plan for an adopt -a -trail program for the
park trails and many of them have been adopted. The City was approached by the Rattan
Student Council about adopting a portion of Ferguson Parkway. With this request staff
has looked at expanding the adoption program to include streets and other "spots" in
Anna for adoption. In return for adopting and maintaining a "spot" the City will place a
sign or marker recognizing the group maintaining the trail, street, or spot.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends you approve the resolution.

The City of Anna Adopt -A -Spot Agreement
Name of individual or group

Location description

the date first set forth above.
Contact Information:

Email
The Adopter acknowledges the limits and potential hazards of the Adopt -A -Spot Program, and agrees to the
following terms and conditions:
Adopt -A -Spot activities permitted are regular inspections and monitoring of the trail/roadway segment and light
maintenance work including, but not limited to, litter pick-up, brush control (excluding the use of herbicides), and
cutting and trimming of brush or weeds to keep a path clear. Fundraising or donations of plants, benches, or other
items for the trail/roadway may be allowed after written approval of the City Manager or City Manager's
designee.
Adopters shall: (1) ensure that volunteers who find anything that they suspect to be hazardous to not touch it, but
take appropriate precautions and report the location and description of the material/substance to a City
representative; (2) ensure that volunteers not pick up syringes, hypodermic needles, exceptionally large, heavy or
unyielding objects. When these kinds of materials are discovered, a City representative should be notified as soon
as possible to arrange for proper disposal; (3) conduct activities at a frequency that will enhance the goal of
providing a park like appearance along the adopted trail/roadway segment (the expected minimum frequency of
inspections and trash pick-up along the trail segment is once each month as weather permits although additional
visits may be necessary, and such may be requested by the City); (4) regularly report to the City the
accomplishments of the volunteers, such as amount of trash collected, number of hours spent, concerns about the
trail and similar matters; (5) refrain from using any City -owned equipment or personal property in the
performance of the work; (6) oversee all activities of Adopt -a -Trail volunteers working on the trail/roadway
segment; (7) observe and supervise minors (ages 12-17) at all times and ensure that no minor operates power
equipment of any kind; and (8) adhere to all applicable City ordinances and regulations. The Adopter shall further
ensure that each Adopt -a -Spot volunteer complete and sign an Adopt -a -Spot volunteer release form (available
from City upon request). All volunteers must be at least 12 years of age. All persons under the age of 18
engaging in any activities described hereunder must be accompanied by and under the supervision of a person
who is at 18 years of age. In addition, a parent or guardian signature is required for any volunteer under 18 years
of age. No motor vehicles may be driven or parked on a park trail unless necessary to respond to a medical
emergency. No work of any nature will be performed by the Adopter or the Adopter's volunteers on any
waterway or embankment, or infrastructure or improvement associated with any waterway or embankment. No
work of any nature may result in any stoppage or other interference with normal traffic on roadways or with
public use of trails unless the City Manager has given express written permission for same and the City has
erected necessary signs or other safeguards. No volunteer shall at any time position themselves or any materials or
equipment in the normally travelled part of a roadway. No volunteer shall at any time position themselves or any
materials or equipment near the normally travelled part of a roadway or trail in a manner that may be unsafe for
the volunteers or the general public. The failure of an Adopter to ensure compliance with the requirements of this
paragraph shall be considered a material breach of this contract.
It is recommended that each Adopter have a first aid kit and mobile phone (you must provide your own phone and
first aid kit, neither will be provided by the City). The Adopter and volunteers should be familiar with nearby
transportation and emergency service facilities and providers.
In cases where it does not interfere with the City regulations, the City will furnish and erect an Adopt -a -Spot sign
recognizing the Adopter or organization that is volunteering to maintain the segment of trail/roadway.
Adopters shall be limited to local residents and organizations that are current in payment of taxes or other
liabilities due the City after notice of any delinquency including: individuals and families, businesses, a chamber
A commerce, non-profit organizations, and clubs and other organizations affiliated with local governmental
entities. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "local" means an organization with a physical or
organizational presence within the City's corporate limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction; or an individual or
family that resides within the City's corporate limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction. Local Organizational
Presence means that at least ten (10) members of the organization reside within the City's corporate limits or its
extraterritorial jurisdiction. A "Non -Profit Organization" means an organization that is, or based on the nature of
its operations is fully eligible to be, a "Nonprofit Corporation" as that term is defined under Texas Business
Organizations Code, Chapter 22, as amended, or a "Nonprofit Association" as that term is defined under Texas
Business Organizations Code, Chapter 252, as amended, and which has one or more of the following or similar
purposes: charitable, benevolent, religious, eleemosynary, philanthropic, patriotic, civic, missionary, educational,
scientific, social, fraternal, athletic, aesthetic, agricultural, horticultural, or being dedicated to the conduct of
professional, commercial, industrial, or trade associations.
