Remaining involved in the Westlake buyout process if it happens to help shape the best and prudent scenario for Trophy Club 3. Considering annexation of the PID by Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 The following pages are the detailed reports from the Governance and Finance Subcommittees. Blue Ribbon Governance Subcommittee Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 2 of 13 Report to Town Council Introduction The Trophy Club Blue Ribbon Panel was empanelled by the Trophy Club Town Council to "investigate the optimal solution to the future Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Town government structure by: • Examining the current government structure in Trophy Club, • Researching best practices for municipal government and • Providing a recommendation to the Council regarding a local government consolidation. In order to expedite its work the Blue Ribbon Panel divided into two subcommittees Finance and Governance. The Finance Committee focused on the financial analysis of various scenarios, while the Governance Committee investigated the organization and governance questions of the government structure. This report encompasses the review and recommendations of the Governance Committee. Approach The Governance Committee outlined inputs for study to ascertain the options and recommendations to the Town Council. The elements included: • Existing document review of Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 contractual documents and past reports • Observation of poor employee cooperation and coordination o Interviews and Comments — Our goal was to talk with parties who could describe and provide input on the impact of the current organizational and governance structure. In addition, to the formal interviews listed below the committee received input from Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Board and Citizen Advisory Board members via email and comments at our meetings. Mayor Connie White addressed the full Blue Ribbon Panel; several Council members attended the Governance Committee meetings on a fairly routine basis. o Town Manager o MUD District Manager o Fire Chief o Contractor/Developer KEY ISSUES Leadership "Everything rises and falls on leadership" John Maxwell Water is the primary resource required to sustain life. As such, it has been the source of conflict throughout the ages. Wars have been fought for the right to control water. The current conflict over governance of the water utility in Trophy Club is the 21st century iteration of this age old battle. Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 3 of 13 At the same time citizens expect that its governing bodies will work together for the benefit of all. The current conflict is very difficult and permeates every level of the two organizations. The organizations have different cultures and strategic visions and goals which are not easily reconciled. Therefore, our total local governance process does not function as efficiently or as effectively as it should. The conflict between the Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 has been further exacerbated by the Town of Westlake's desire to separate from Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. The three way conflict now has the attention of state legislative officials, who have convened meetings with the three jurisdictions. Legal Issues The only provision in the Local Government Code to affect the consolidation of Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 in the current configuration, i.e., Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 district boundaries crossing two separate municipal town limits; would be by means of a Strategic Partnership Agreement in which all three governmental agencies would have to agree to the terms of a proposed agreement in accordance with Section 791.026 of the Texas Government Code and Section 43.076 of the Texas Water Code. There has been no progress since the Town of Trophy Club introduced a proposed agreement in May 2013; and there appears to be no effort on any agencies part to consider this strategy. The committee recognizes that the political environment does not currently support the concept of consolidation; therefore, the potential for annexation of the PID by the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 was explored. The Governance Subcommittee requested an opinion from Patricia Adams, Trophy Club Town Attorney regarding the following questions: • Is there any law that will prevent the annexation of the PID into the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1? • Under what circumstances can the PID be annexed into the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1? Mrs. Adams response is included below in its entirety: 49.301, Water Code — owners of all of the tracts may petition the MUD board requesting annexation. The petition requires landowners to assume any outstanding and future authorized MUD bond debt, and authorizes MUD to levy taxes on the tract. The MUD board makes findings of feasibility [and, subject to consent of City pursuant to 54.016(a) and (d)], MUD adds the land by adoption of an order. There is no MUD hearing or election required for annexation by the MUD under this section. However, the petition could request the annexation to be subject to conditions, including the future issuance of bonds to serve the annexed area. OR Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 4 of 13 49.302, Water Code - owners of less than all of the land proposed to be annexed may petition the MUD board for annexation. This would require the signature of owners of a majority in value of the tract as confirmed by the tax rolls to be annexed or at least 50 owners if there are more than 50 owners of lots and parcels comprising the tract. Under this section, a public hearing is required on the petition and proposed annexation after publication of notice. If upon conclusion of the hearing, the annexation is found by the MUD board to be feasible [and, subject to consent of the Town pursuant to 54.016(a) and (d)], the MUD may adopt an order adding the land to its boundaries. The MUD board is then required to call an election within the District on the question of whether the annexed area should assume its pro rata share of the outstanding MUD tax supported debt and taxes. The MUD may also add another proposition as to whether the tract should assume it's pro rata part of any future tax bonds and taxes previously authorized but not yet issued. If the election is successful, then the tract shall bear its pro rata share of the outstanding debt and taxes, and if the election included the additional proposition, future MUD debt and taxes. In the order calling the election, the MUD board may provide that the annexation is not final unless the election results favorably to the assumption of the MUD's outstanding, and possibly future, bonds and taxes. AND 54.016, Water Code — Pursuant to subsection (a), no land within the corporate limits of a city shall be included within a MUD unless the city grants its consent in accordance with section 42.042, Local Government Code, and section 54.016 by resolution or ordinance. A petition to the Town is required; and it must be executed by the owners of a majority in value of the tract, or if there are more than 50 owners, at least 50 owners of lots/parcels within the tract. The contents of the petition are set out in this subsection. Pursuant to subsection (d), this same requirement and process "shall apply whether the land is proposed to be included in the district at the time of creation of a district or to be included by annexation to a district." However, the remedies for failure or refusal of a city to grant consent provided in subparagraphs (b) and (c), do not apply where the land to be added is within the city's corporate limits. Subparagraph provides, in part, as follows: "Under no circumstances shall land within the corporate limits of a city be included in a district without the written consent, by ordinance or resolution, of the city." The election would be held "in the district, as enlarged by reason of the annexation of the area". So, all voters residing within the area proposed to be annexed by the MUD are permitted to vote, as well as the voters in the district prior to the proposed annexation. A person who did not sign the petition, and who does not want to be annexed must appear at the hearing to protest the Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 5 of 13 annexation. The Board has discretion not to include all of the land described in the petition if at the hearing a deletion is found "necessary or desirable" by the board. Sections 49.301, 49.302, and 54.016 do not provide authority for the proposition that an addition of land by a district under those sections effectuate a transfer of ownership of any municipal water or sewer facilities serving the added land. Additionally, a transfer of ownership of infrastructure is not legally allowed when there is outstanding bond debt for that infrastructure. Governance (PID) When the PID (Public Improvement District) was considered in 2007, an agreement with the Town, the Developer, and the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 was necessary to secure Water and Wastewater service for PID customers. This was necessary because the designated PID area was not within the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 approved boundary. The Town Council elected to create a PID, and seek water/wastewater services rather than expanding the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 boundary to include what is now the PID. An agreement between the Town and the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 was accomplished and continues today. The original agreement has worked well, but change is inevitable. Since the original agreement is now approaching completion (2018), an opportunity exists to review, revise and extend the PID agreement. With a NEW approach, there appears to be beneficial changes that can benefit the PID residents and the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, if a new Agreement can be accomplished. The original agreement stipulated that all PID residents would pay the same water and wastewater rates as the rest of Trophy Club residents. It also agreed that the PID residents would pay the same amount as other town residents for Fire/Emergency Services. However, this fee is billed as an annual Assessment to each PID resident annually, not a tax. A tax for water and wastewater service was not appropriate due to the PID not being a part of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. It is important to note that taxes are deductible on federal tax returns, while assessments are not. Originally, to accomplish the request for services, the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 required payment by the PID in the total amount of $4 million for access to water and wastewater services from the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. The $4 million dollar Access Fee was calculated using the PID's proportionate amount of the associated debt of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. This was later reduced to $3.26 million due to payments made by the developer ($540K) on behalf of the PID and a $200K credit to the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 for participating in the increased capacity of the proposed elevated water tower that now exists near Byron Nelson High School. The remaining $3.26 million was to be paid by each property owner in the PID by way of a one-time $2,300 access fee. During the development of the PID, 10 lots were repurposed to accommodate drainage and open space requirements reducing the total number of PID lots to 1,407. The resulting Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 6 of 13 amount due the MUD then became $3,236,100 (1,407 X $2,300). To date, 177 lots remain to be sold/built (12.6%). Economic Development Trophy Club has experienced incredible growth over the past few years. This growth has put a lot of pressure on both the Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 as they attempt to keep up with the design and construction demands. Streamlined processes better serve the community, improve project success and ensure time and cost efficiencies. When the town receives a development project plans are submitted for the Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 to review and approve. Part of this proposal includes establishing a timeline for project completion. It is the responsibility of the town to ensure that the critical path milestones are met and penalties and delays are not incurred. The project process includes specification and design submissions. One of the local developers who has been awarded Trophy Club contracts stated whereas a normal city project would be estimated at 45 days to completion, they plan a 4-6 month estimate for Trophy Club. It appears that this issue can be improved with the appropriate authority's and flexibility given the two managers of each organization for planning and change order changes without having to take decisions back to the respective elected bodies. Project management requires considerable collaboration and cooperation between levels of review and ownership. If the review process and project execution is not properly managed and delays ensue, the project gets delayed and cost penalties are incurred. Project changes and delays can be very costly in a project. When contractor or developer has an issue with a project, they need a single contact that can give them a prompt response that will not cause a delay in the project. During design reviews, it is essential that errors and/or changes are caught and/or made at the earliest possible step in the process. The current arrangement creates significant delay as the multiple entities structure of Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 require multiple meetings and approvals in order to provide the A/E with a decisive answer. The committee supports the recent addition of a single engineering firm who represents both Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and draws promptly from appropriate authorities when collaboration and consensus is required. Changes are the biggest nemesis to the design and construction process. Often times a "correction" not discovered early, turn into a significant "change" further down line in the review process. Changes are both costly and time consuming. Major changes can completely derail a project or create budget over runs that can't be made up without additional budget approvals, also causing delays. When there is not a sole owner of a project, the risk is much higher that these impacts will occur. Communication is imperative between both organizations for any future successful capital improvement project in Trophy Club. At the same time, the economic development process is impacted by the necessity for the Town to address issues outside of its control, but necessary to insure success. These issues Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 7 of 13 include: a very vibrant political climate in Trophy Club and wide variations in the quality of developer submissions. Organization The Governance Subcommittee finds the dual reporting relationship of the Fire Chief, reporting to the Town and Manager and District Manager ineffective. There are two administrative chains of command. The Fire fighters are in the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 organization and the EMS staff is in the Town. In addition, Fire Marshall duties that are currently the responsibility of the Fire Chief, are appointed by and directed by the Town Manager has posed an operational conflict when reviewing development plans as the Fire Marshall, but answering to the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 for fire operations. This also requires the Fire Chief to prepare and submit two budget submissions in addition to other duplicative administrative tasks. He indicates that approximately 90% of his time is consumed in administrative tasks. The Town is ultimately responsible for public safety. The dual reporting relationship only works due to Fire Chief Danny Thomas' extensive skill and experience. Other redundancies and efficiencies exist due to the current Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1/Town structure, which are acknowledged by both organizations. These include Human Resources, Finance, Tax Assessment and others. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Board members assert that this is due to unsatisfactory performance on the part of the Town. RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are respectfully submitted for Town Council's consideration: 1. Consent to a possible Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Annexation of the PID(Short Term). 2. Transfer the control of the Trophy Club Fire Department to the Town. 3. Continue to work toward a long term solution of consolidation with Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 to become a full service Town. 4. Other various organizational recommendations outlined in this report. Leadership The Governance Committee believes it is essential for the leaders of the Town of Trophy Club and the Municipal Utility District to dramatically improve the communication, culture and issues related to the current conflict. • The Town of Trophy Club Council and The Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Board should set a tone of cooperation and collaboration by: o Focusing on what is best for the citizens as a whole, o Establishing common goals and performance metrics for the Town and the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 relating to collaboration, o Keeping a keen focus on opportunities to unify the town rather than create divisiveness, Blue Ribbon Panel Final Report Page 8 of 13 o Develop a process to determine when to use alternative dispute resolution services, such as a mediator or umpire when an impasse occurs, o Actively engaging in alternative dispute resolution services when the process is activated. Governance and Organization An important organizational change of note in this recommendation is that the Fire Department should come under a single administrative chain of command, the Town. Create a full service town with the utilities provided by one provider, the Town of Trophy Club. All related changes should be in effect, where possible, by or before the start of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014. Upon completion of these recommended changes it is intended that all Trophy Club Residents will be treated equally regarding Water, Wastewater, and Fire/Emergency Services rate provided by the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. Economic Development It is the opinion of this committee that one of two things must take place for effective economic development as it relates to project management; 1) establish a single point of contact that has the knowledge and authority to give the appropriate answers to project questions, or 2) establish an effective management structure that allows for quick decision making at the lowest possible level. When there is dual ownership of a project and one or the other has to go to a higher level; i.e. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Board or Town Council, for approval, the A/E or construction process/s are delayed and incurs major cost impacts. The Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and the Town of Trophy Club must come together to make decisions that impact development. Single ownership of projects is recommended and players of each discipline involved must recognize and respond to the need for on-time readiness for design review and appropriate approvals. Architects, engineers, construction companies, and residents should be able to trust Town and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 authorities to be prompt and effective in their decision making so that financial hardships are not incurred. To do that, single ownership and management is recommended to ensure that a streamlined process is implemented and maintained. The Blue Ribbon Governance Subcommittee was honored to be given the task of exploring and recommending to Town Council the governance structure of a future Trophy Club local government. Our current situation is admittedly very complicated and we compliment both organizations for making our town as efficient and productive that it is despite the organizational shortcomings. It is our hope and desire that both elected bodies (Town Council and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1) will consider our recommendations moving our community forward to an even greater, more efficient local government in the future.
