7. Items For Individual Consideration.
a. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider approval on an Ordinance amending
park development fund regulations to allow expenditures related to park planning
and development staff. (Director of Neighborhood Services Marc Marchand)
Per City Council's directive in Anna's Strategic Plan to implement the Parks,
Trails, and Open Spaces Master Plan and Parks Community Improvement capital
pIan, staff is bringing before the City Council amendments to the Ordinance
governing the use of the Parks Development Fund.
Anna's significant population growth is causing an increase in the demand for
parks, trails, open spaces, and related facilities and amenities. Funding for park
planning, capital improvements, and related functions are allowable in the
Park Development Fund Ordinance. However, this Ordinance amends the
Park Development Fund regulations to expand its use and allow for staffing
associated with park planning and development.
The Parks Development Fund is performing very well and the increase over
previous fiscal years is enough capacity to cover capital projects and have
funding for park planning and development staff. The revenue estimate for the
Parks Development Fund in the FY 2020/2021 Budget was $885,500.
Actual revenue for the Parks Development Fund will exceed $1,165,500 for the
FY 2020/2021 Budget. This is a difference of $280,000 which is enough to cover
staffs request in the FY 2021/2022 Budget of $125,693 for park planning and
development staff.
Mayor Pike opened the public hearing at 6:51 PM.

b. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider approval of an Ordinance adopting water
and sanitary sewer utility rates for Fiscal Year 2022. (Director of Public Works
Greg Peters, P.E.)
On August 24, 2021, staff presented in a City Council Work session on the rate
study results, which the FY2022 budget is in part contingent on. As a result of the
efforts to balance the increasing costs from external service providers, the
original projections of the prior rate study had increases as high as 10-12%
annually. Staff has reviewed the financial condition of the utility and is proposing
a reduction of the prior proposed rate increases. The revised recommendation
includes a rate increase of 8% for water and 8% for wastewater. These increases
are required to ensure that the Utility Fund maintains viability. The increases
ensure that the City is able to cover the rising costs of purchased water and sewer
treatment from North Texas Municipal Water District and the associated costs of
delivery of purchased water and transmission of sewer to treatment facilities.
The proposed rate increases represent the minimum recommended increases
needed to balance the revenues and expenses of the utility while meeting the
needs of the growing population we serve.

(City Manager Jim Proce)
The Annual Budget is developed through an extensive process of reviewing
requests received from various City departments, then prioritizing those requests
in a manner that utilizes resources effectively, within fiscal constraints, while
working to achieve goals set forth by the City Council.
The proposed budget was presented to the City Council on August 10th and was
posted on the City's website on August 11 th. The public hearing on the proposed
budget and tax rate was conducted on September 7th.
The FY2022 budget is funded with a tax rate of $0.569500 per $100 in taxable
value, which less than the tax rate adopted last year.
While budgets are always a challenge, we have worked diligently to propose a
budget that is both balanced and sufficient to meet the needs of the coming fiscal
year. We express our appreciation to the City Council for their diligent efforts
throughout the year in providing guidance, direction and support for our efforts to
serve the City of Anna.
As Anna continues to grow, the City remains committed to its Strategic Vision.

d. Consider/Discuss/Action regarding a Resolution ratifying the property tax
revenue increase reflected in the City of Anna FY2022 Budget. (City Manager
Jim Proce)
Section 102.007 of the Local Government Code states that "adoption of a budget
that will require raising more revenue from property taxes than in the previous
year requires a separate vote %J the governing body to ratify the property tax
increase reflected in the budget".
The budget is funded by a tax rate of $0.569500, which is less than the tax rate
adopted last year. The total amount of revenue generated from property taxes
will increase by $1,530,703 which is a 17.9 percent increase from last year's
budget. The property tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the
tax roll this year is $930,187.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA ACKNOWLEDGING AND
RATIFYING THAT THE ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022
ANNUAL BUDGET WILL REQUIRE RAISING MORE REVENUE FROM
PROPERTY TAXES THAN IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR.
MOTION: Council Member Miller moved to approve. Council Member Atchley
seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
e. Consider/Discuss/Action approving an Ordinance adopting the FY2022
Tax Rate. (City Manager Jim Proce)
The FY2022 budget can be funded by adopting a tax rate of $0.569500 cents per
$100 valuation. Of the total tax rate, $0.452631 cents are dedicated to the general
fund maintenance and operations (M&O) and $0.116869 cents are dedicated for
the payment of general fund debt obligations or interest and sinking (I&S).
State regulations require specific language to be included in the ordinance and
motion adopting the tax rate. The language in the motion is meant to reflect the
change in the total tax rate while the language in section 5 of the ordinance only
reflects the change in the M&O portion of the rate. The M&O rate exceeds the
M&O no -new -revenue rate by 4.93% but is lower than the FY2021 adopted M&O
rate, resulting in a $14.42 decrease on a $100,000 home.
As the proposed rate exceeds the no -new -revenue rate of $0.536868, the motion
must be made in the following form:
"I move that the property tax rate be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of
$0.569500, which is effectively a 6.08 percent increase in the tax rate."
In addition to statutory requirements for the language of the motion to adopt the
tax rate, Sec. 26.05(b) requires 60% of the Council to vote in favor of a tax rate
that exceeds the no -new -revenue tax rate. This means that five members of the
City Council must vote in favor of the motion to pass the $0,569500 rate.

PROVIDING WHEN TAXES SHALL BECOME DUE AND WHEN SAME SHALL

MOTION: Council Member Toten moved to approve that the property tax rate be
increased by the adoption of a tax rate of $0.569500, which is effectively a 6.08
percent increase in the tax rate. Council Member Atchley seconded. Motion
carried 7-0.
f. Consider/Discussion/Action on an Ordinance approving a variance request to
allow for modified signage. (Planning Manager Lauren Mecke)

Class 5, major free-standing sign on a tract of land located at the northeast corner
of S. Powell Parkway (State Highway 5) and County Road 423.

Anna. Now within the City limits, the sign is considered non -conforming due to

single-family zoning districts.
The applicant is requesting a variance from the signage ordinance in order to
relocate the nonconforming sign due to TxDOT State Highway 5 expansion
project.

g. Consider/Discussion/Action on a request to call a public hearing to amend
Article 9.04 (Zoning Ordinance) in order to modify setback requirements for
swimming pools. (Planning Manager Lauren Mecke)
Under Section 9.04.033 (Special Uses) of Article 9.04 (Zoning Ordinance), the
City has adopted some additional standards pertaining to swimming pools.
One of the standards states that swimming pools may not be closer than eight
feet from any property line. Staff would like to modify the distance to be more in
line with accessory structures which are required to maintain a five (5) foot
setback from property lines.
The requested amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will improve staff efficiency,
