CITY OF ALLEN
TO: HOftIVAABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIC1rAF,A STANGER, ACTING CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ANNUAL BUDGET
DATE: DECEMBER 30, 1998
On behalf of the City of Allen staff, and in accordance with the Allen City Charter and
state law, it is my privilege to present you the adopted Fiscal Year 1998-99 Budget.
The annual budget encompasses an amended plan for the City's revenues and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, as well as projections for
revenues and expenditures for the new fiscal year beginning October 1, 1998.
The budget comprises all of the City's functions in the following funds:
• General Fund
• Recreation Enterprise Fund
• Debt Service Fund
• Solid Waste Fund
• Water & Sewer Fund
• Economic Development Corp. Fund
• Drainage Fund
• Community Development Corp.
• Vehicle Replacement Fund
Fund
The document contains summary sheets for revenues, expenditures, debt service,
reserves, and capital improvements. In addition, budget figures are provided for major
expenditure categories by department, including the previous year's actual
expenditures, the approved budget for FY 1998, the amount expended through the first
sixth months of FY 1998, the amended FY 1998 budget, and the adopted budget for FY
1999. The approved Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is contained under separate
cover, and periodic updates of the CIP are made throughout the year.
Additionally, this document contains a department -by -department listing of all
authorized personnel (with a three-year history) and capital items purchased with
operating funds.
This budget is the fust prepared since the adoption of Policy Governance.
Accordingly, I have incorporated new elements and a new format to this budget

document, in order to fulfill the Council's Executive Limitations policies. Specifically,
a list of budgeting assumptions follows this memorandum in order to state explicitly the
factors we considered when estimating revenues and expenditures. A three-year
financial forecast, found in the Appendix of this document, gives perspective to the
present budget by placing it in the context of the foreseeable future.
Perhaps more importantly, this budget is prepared in order to support the Council's
Ends policies—the statements that prescribe the outcomes or results that the citizens of
Allen require of their city government. Accordingly, all departments have adopted
performance goals, stated herein alongside their budgets, which reflect the Council's
Ends policies as staff interprets them.
What follows in the balance of this cover letter is a narrative or summary of the
numbers and performance goals that comprise the budget.
GENERALFUND
The General Fund provides those services citizens most often associate with local
government, such as public safety, parks and recreation, library, planning,
transportation, engineering, and City Council expenses. Funding sources include ad
valorem property taxes, the one -cent local sales and use tax, and a variety of fees for
services.
Fiscal year 1998 concluded with the General Fund in very sound condition.
Expenditures in the revised budget are slightly ahead (5.1 %) of the original budget, but
within revenues for the same period; therefore, no use of excess fund balance (reserves)
was required to balance the revised budget. Revenues exceeded expectations this year
by just over 5.4%. Expenditures over the original budget are due to these approved
expenditures: matching funds to hire six additional police officers by federal grant,
addition of a fourth building inspector, severance expenses to the former city manager,
and higher than budgeted expenses for the new simulcast radio system and two public
information positions.
In programmatic terms, FY 1998 was successful as well. In October, the library
expanded to evening hours on Mondays, which contributed to 6% additional
transactions. In December, the City completed a four-month study of the classification
and pay plan, resulting in a new plan that is more fair across the organization and,
taken as a whole, equivalent to the geographic and professional markets in which we
compete for labor. In March, we completed sewer replacement in the Allenwood
addition. In April, the City opened Allen Station Park and its nine new ball fields.
May saw the opening of Fire Station #4, improving fire and rescue response to the west
side of town.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Annual Budget
December 30, 1998
Fiscal year 1999 features many new programs designed to achieve the Council's Ends
policies. Major new programs include:
• To improve the chances that we will save lives through emergency medical services
(EMS), we will increase the operating hours of our second ambulance from 15
hours to 24 hours per day.
• To reduce illegal drug use, we will introduce School Resource Officers (SROs) to
the new Allen High School and step up our other community policing efforts.
• To improve the responsiveness of the planning function and to support our decision-
making with respect to redeveloping the Central Business District (CBD), we are
establishing a separate Planning Department.
• To improve the responsiveness of the code enforcement (property maintenance)
function, I have transferred these inspectors to the Police Department.
• To support decision-making on a new five-year Capital Improvements Program
(CIP), and to ensure that projects are completed in a timely manner, we will
restructure the Community Development Department to focus on capital
improvements planning and project management.
• To improve call handling and service to Parks and Recreation customers, we will
consolidate the department's top administrative staff at one location.
• To improve literacy and readership at our library, we will add enough new library
materials to meet the Texas State Library's standard of two (2) volumes per capita.
These are new programs that deliver services to our customers; other means that are
internal to our operations are not discussed in this memo.
Overall, spending in the General Fund will increase 17.9%. This is a few percentage
points below the growth we have experienced over the past four years. (By
comparison, FY 98 expenditures are 20% higher than FY 97's.) To accomplish these
programs, the Fund will require a tax rate of $.5750 per $100 of assessed valuation,
and the use of $509,834 from excess reserves. The reduction in the fund balance will
leave the General Fund at the required 60 days of operating costs. The new tax rate
represents an increase in the state -calculated Effective Tax Rate by 3.3%; but in real
terns it is a reduction of over one-half cent ($.005), the sixth consecutive year the City
Council has reduced the tax rate. The tax rate is based upon an increase in the City's
certified tax roll to $1,888,609,909 (reported by the Central Appraisal District of Collin
County), a rise of almost 21% versus the previous year. Consequently, the average
homeowner's City tax bill will increase 3.98% or less than $26.'
' This calculation uses the average appraised single-family home of $109,136 in 1997 and the 1998 tax
rate of $.58058 to get a tax bill of $633.62, against the same home with an increase in value of 4.7% to
$114,587 in 1998, and a tax rate of $.5750 to get a tax bill of $658.88.

Annual Budget
December 30, 1998
Other revenues are forecast in a conservative manner, given recent economic history.
(See page 10.)
Deserving special mention is the budget for compensation and benefits plans. This
budget includes an overall increase of $545,178 to the pay plan for raises and bonuses
in all departments. Part of this figure (almost $79,000) is to raise the minirntltns of
every pay range by ten (10) percentage points against the scale. That is, the range from
low-end to top -out pay on every job will go from 40% to 30%. Another portion (about
$132,000) will go to update pay ranges for public safety, information technology, and
certain trade occupations against their present markets. The remainder will go toward
all departments for merit raises, at an average increase of 4.5% and a maximum raise
of 8%. With these three changes, we can address the City's need to reward meritorious
performance and improve our competitiveness for new hires. I have also included
funding for an 8% increase to health and dental insurance premiums.
An improved benefit I have budgeted is 20 -year retirement in the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS). An employee benefits survey, backed by an employee
task force, reports that 20 -year retirement is the highest priority among current
employees and an important competitive advantage we can offer recruits. This
initiative will cost approximately $30,000 in FY 1999. Adoption of this program
requires an ordinance by the City Council.
DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund pays off general obligation debt with ad valorem tax revenue. The fund will
' have a $968,850 balance at the end of FY 1998. We have budgeted to use $200,000 of
the excess fund balance to pay debt service in 1999. This enabled us to use more of the
Effective Tax Rate for operating expenditures. Debt service in 1999 includes new
' payments on the $10,000,000 bond issue sold in 1998.
WATER & SEWER FUND
A dry year led to more water purchases than originally budgeted. We have revised
revenues upward by 3%, and expenditures upward by 4%; however, revenues will
easily cover expenditures. No adjustments have been made to anticipate rate changes in
FY 1999, but a rate study completed in September indicates that the City should
consider an increase to the sewer rate this year.'
1
' T On December 3, 1998, the Council adopted a new fee schedule, effective January 1, 1999, raising the
minimum monthly sewer charge from $10.14 to $10.50; the consumption raw from $.54 per 1,000
gallons to $.6o; and the maximum monddy sewer charge to residential customers from $14.73 to $15.60.
we estimate this will generate an additional $100,000 in revenue for FY 1999. No changes were made to
' water rates.

December 30, 1998
To improve call handling and service to water and sewer customers, an additional call
taker has been added to the Public Works Administration budget.
RECREATION ENTERPRISE FUND
'
The goal for this fund is for user fees to cover all operating expenses of the Joe Farmer
Recreation Center, Ford Pool, and all other recreation programs. It is not intended to
cover capital investments in those facilities. At the request of certain users, I have
'
added operating expenses to extend hours at the Joe Farmer Recreation Center from
9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weeknights.
DRAINAGE FUND
Storm drainage facilities and services are funded by a specific fee charged of all utility
customers. The featured capital improvement in this operating budget is phase I of a
'
project to reconstruct Mustang Creek in the Shadow Ickes neighborhood. This phase
includes dredging, clean-up, and dam repair at a cost of $140,530. (Another estimated
'
$162,783 would be required in a future budget for phase II, which includes trail
construction, more clean-up, seating areas, crossing repairs, and landscaping.)
' HALF -CENT SALES TAX FUNDS
The Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) and the Allen Community
Development Corporation (CDC) are each funded by one-half cent sales taxes. Sales
' tax revenues finished a full 25% higher than FY 1997, leaving both of these funds quite
robust. In addition, many of the CDC projects budgeted for FY 1998 will not conclude
' until FY 1999, and so expenditures are lower than expected in that fund.
CONCLUSION
' This completes the discussion of major features of the amended FY 1998 and adopted
FY 1999 budgets, except one. This budget features, for the first time, program
measures for each of the City's twelve (12) operating departments. Program treasures
' here encompass effectiveness (how well we are producing the benefits the community
needs), effort (how many resources we apply to a given program), and efficiency (how
much output we receive for the input we snake to a given program). I am optimistic not
' only that this practice will better enable citizens to appraise the value they receive from
city government, but also that it will inspire us to improve upon that value. The
program measures are a first effort—not particularly aggressive at this time, and
' certainly not meant to encompass all dimensions of a given function or service. We
plan to expand on this analysis as we gain experience with the practice.
' Speaking for the entire staff, we appreciate the opportunity to serve the citizens of
Allen. Thank you for your support of the programs and resources contained in this
budget.
