6. Conduct a Public Hearing on the Proposed 2018 Tax Rate. (Dana Thornhill)
The City Council scheduled August 28th, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. as the date and time
for the first public hearing on the proposed 2018 Tax Rate. The second public
hearing is scheduled for September 4, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. Each year after
properties are appraised by the Collin County Appraisal District the Collin County
Tax Office calculates both the effective tax rate and the rollback tax rate for the City
of Anna as part of the service to collect taxes for the City. The following definitions
are provided from the Texas Comptroller's Office:
Effective tax rate: The effective tax rate is a calculated rate that would provide the
taxing unit with about the same amount of revenue
it received in the year before on properties taxed in both years. If property values
rise, the effective tax rate will go down and vice
versa.
Rollback tax rate: The rollback rate provides the taxing unit with about the same
amount of tax revenue it spent the previous year for day-to-day operations, plus an
extra 8 percent increase for those operations, in addition to sufficient funds to pay
debts in the coming
year. If a taxing unit adopts a tax rate higher than the rollback rate, voters in the
taxing unit can circulate a petition calling for an election to limit the size of the tax
increase.
The proposed budget is supported by a tax rate of $0.601288 which is equivalent
to the current rate. The following table is a comparison between the proposed tax
rate, last year's rate, the effective rate and roll -back rate.
Proposed FY 2019 Tax Rate $0.601288 per $100
Preceding FY 2018 Tax Rate $0.601288 per $100
Effective Tax Rate $0.536478 per $100
Rollback Tax Rate $0.624613 per $100
The effective tax rate is lower than the current rate because the value of properties
taxed in both years has increased.
The budget and tax rate are scheduled for adoption at the September 11th Council
meeting. Since the proposed tax rate is higher than the effective rate, section 26.05
of the Texas Tax Code requires a minimum of 60% of the Council members to vote
in favor of that rate. That would require at least 5 Council members to vote in favor
of the proposed tax rate.
Mayor Pike opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.
No comments.
Mayor Pike closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Council Member Miller stated the City is not married to the current tax rate and
should re -visit the rate.
7. Consider/Discuss/Action regarding a Resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute an engineering task order with Birkhoff, Hendricks &
Carter, LLP for the Ferguson Parkway Project. (Joseph Johnson)
The Ferguson Parkway Project consists of approximately 6,200 linear feet of 4 -
lanes of an ultimate 6 -lane divided thoroughfare within a 120 -foot right-of-way from
the Collin County Outer Loop to Taylor Boulevard. The project also includes a six -
lane bridge over Slayter Creek and approximately 1,800 linear feet of 2 -lanes of the
ultimate 6 -lane between Taylor Boulevard and Elm Street.
The project, if constructed, would provide traffic an additional north -south route into
the City's population center, relieving the intersections of FM 455 with US 75 and
SH 5. The project aligns with the City's adopted Strategic Plan goal "Build
Transportation Infrastructure" in which the comprehensive strategy is to design and
build transportation projects that relieve traffic congestion. The Ferguson Parkway
Project is listed as a specific project within the Strategic Plan.
The project meets the eligibility criteria for Congestion Mitigation Air Quality
(CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding. The project has
been proposed to the North Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and
NCTCOG has expressed significant interest in partnering with the City on this
project. The goal in moving the project forward into the schematic design phase
would be to position the project for funding and allow for right-of-way acquisition
should the Council so choose.
Task A is for the schematic design phase and includes Part I and portions of Part
VIII. Part I is for the amount of $114,080 and Part VIII is for the amount of
$137,700 for a total not -to -exceed amount of $251,780. Funding is available for the
project design in the City of Anna 2018 Certificate of Obligation Bond issue.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS APPROVING AND

8. Consider/Discussion/Action on a Resolution Approving the First Amended

documents and to take all other actions necessary to finalize the
agreement. (Maurice Schwanke)

Agreement with the Villages of Hurricane Creek has been prepared. This
agreement replaces the existing agreement wherein developer responsibilities
were not met.

9. Consider/Discuss/Action of a Resolution of reinstatement for the
Preliminary Plat of the Villages of Hurricane Creek. (Maurice Schwanke)
The Villages of Hurricane Creek preliminary plat expired. As part of the negotiations
for a revised subdivision improvement agreement the preliminary plat needs to be
reinstated.
The Villages of Hurricane Creek preliminary plat contains 368.2 acres of land 654
residential lots, an amenity center, a fire station location, and two public park areas.
Additionally, within the area are numerous planned HOA parcels to be kept as open
spaces and landscape areas. The lot sizes range from 8,400 square feet to 15,000
square feet. This proposal is in keeping with the zoning request recently approved
by City Council.
The Preliminary Plat has been reviewed by the City Staff and our Consulting
Engineer. The remaining comments address engineering provisions that will be
addressed when various sections are final platted. Two variances to the subdivision
rules and regulations are being requested with this plat. The first is a variance to the
maximum block length and the second is a variance to the minimum centerline
radius for Collector A. The Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the
preliminary plat subject to staff's comments at their meeting November 3, 2014.
The vote was unanimous.

10. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution to authorize the City Manager to

The City has received a grant from TXDOT for a Green Ribbon Program project
along West White Street from U. S. 75 to Ferguson Parkway, and Willow Creek Dr.
Street to S.H. 5. The grant amount is for $687,286. After the installation of the
landscaping the City will be required to maintain the right-of-way of the project area.
The proposed landscaping is a minimum maintenance scenario since no turf grass
is proposed. The medians will use drought tolerant plants and hard surfaces. We
are currently mowing and picking up trash in the median and we will continuing after
improvements. As part of the process the City is required to approve the
