THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

[a. Consider approving Resolution No. R21-614 which establishes a Public Improvement District (PID) Policy.]

CONSIDER APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER ARE 21 DASH SIX ONE FOUR, WHICH ESTABLISH A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT POLICY.

I SEE STACY GRAVES COMING DOWN.

HI, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR CITY COUNCIL.

UM, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT.

THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT POLICY, AND AS OUR DEPARTMENT ALWAYS WORKS THROUGH, UH, OUR EVENTS AND OUR PROGRAMMING.

WE ARE ALWAYS REFERRING BACK TO THE VISION, MISSION AND VALUES OF THE CITY, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALL IN LINE AND OF COURSE ALWAYS PURSUING PREMIERE.

SO MANY THINGS THAT WE DO OUT IN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, UM, ALIGNS WITH THE NEWLY, UM, PREMIER STATEMENT OF CEDAR HILL.

IT HAS AN ENGAGED COMMUNITY.

SO TONIGHT OVER THE PITFALL OF SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GO OVER THE BACKGROUND OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS, UM, THE PYD POLICY AND THE KEY ELEMENTS OF A POLICY, UM, TRAINING FOR BOARD MEMBERS AND THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

SO ON THIS SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE, WE HAVE FIVE MAINTENANCE PIDS CURRENTLY IN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

THE FIRST ONE HIGH POINT PID WAS ESTABLISHED IN OCTOBER OF 1998 WITH A TOTAL OF 26 58 PARCELS.

UM, THE SECOND, UH, PID THAT WAS ESTABLISHED THREE YEARS LATER AS THE WATERFORD OAKS PID, AND THEY HAVE, UM, 795 PARCELS BEING OUR SECOND LARGEST PID IN THE CITY.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A LARGE GAP THERE OF ABOUT 13 YEARS FOR WHEN OUR THIRD PID WAS ESTABLISHED.

AND THAT WAS WINDING HOLLOW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 AND WITH 235 PARCELS AND THEN WINDSOR PARK IN AUGUST OF 2017, WITH 520, AND THEN CEDAR CREST PIT IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR WAS 611.

SO YOU'LL SEE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THERE'VE BEEN THREE PIDS CREATED WITHIN THE CITY, WHICH KIND OF ALIGNS WITH YOUR PRIORITY OF NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT AND YOUR PRIORITY ON NEIGHBORHOODS AND PIDS, ESPECIALLY.

SO THIS YEAR WE'RE REALLY EXCITED, UM, WHAT WE CAN BRING TO PIDS, THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE ADDITION OF LEAH.

I THINK WE'RE REALLY GONNA TAKE, UM, PEDS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL AND IN HOPES OF CREATING OTHERS.

UM, SO YOU'LL SEE IN THESE PIDS, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PARCELS IN THE CITY THAT ARE WITHIN A PIT IS 48, 4,819, WHICH IS ABOUT 32% OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE CITY.

CURRENTLY THE ASSESSMENT RATE, ALL THE PIDS IS 10 CENTS PER $100 VALUATION.

AND THEN ALSO THERE IS NO PID POLICY IN PLACE TO HELP GUIDE THESE PID CREATIONS OR EVEN HELP THEM WITH THEIR OPERATIONS AFTER THEY ARE CREATED .

SO WE'LL GO INTO THE PID POLICY AND WHY DO WE NEED A PID POLICY? A PID POLICY WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENT CREATION AND OPERATION EXPERIENCE ACROSS ALL PINS, UM, DOCUMENTS, PERTINENT DEFINITIONS, AND

[00:35:01]

AND WE'VE ALSO STAFF HAS ALSO CREATED A PITT OPERATING HANDBOOK FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS, REALLY AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL, UH, PID POLICY WILL PROVIDE OVERVIEW OF MAJOR OPERATING CONCERNS, SUCH AS CREATION AND START AT PARAMETERS, PETITION PARAMETERS, PIT ADVISORY, BOARD CRITERIA, FINANCIAL GUIDELINES, AND PIDS STAFF RELATIONSHIPS.

SO HERE IS THE DEFINITION OF A PIT.

A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IS A DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, SUCH AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN WHICH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE FINANCED THROUGH THE USE OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PINS.

UM, AND THE CREATION OF PIDS GET THE AUTHORITY THROUGH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER THREE 72.

AND YOU MAY HEAR ME REFER BACK TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE THROUGHOUT MY PRESENTATION, BUT IT'S REALLY THE ULTIMATE GUIDELINE THAT WE USE AS WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THESE PIDS AS, UM, THIS PRETTY MUCH DEFINES WHAT THE LAW IS.

SO THE FIRST SECTION IN THE PID POLICY IS THE PID CREATION PROCESS.

UM, AGAIN, IT PROVIDES GUIDELINES TO ESTABLISH A PIN.

UM, THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PIDS, UH, MENTIONED IN THE POLICY, THE FIRST ONE BEING THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS PIN, WHICH IS WHAT OUR FIVE PIDS ARE CURRENTLY, AND THOSE ARE CREATED AND ESTABLISHED OR EXISTING COMMERCIAL AND OR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICALLY DEFINED TAX ASSESSMENT AREA TO PROVIDE SERVICES OR IMPROVEMENTS SUPPLEMENTAL TO THOSE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNING MUNICIPALITY.

AND THESE TYPES OF BIDS, PIDS ARE MANAGED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

THE PYD POLICY ALSO MENTIONS DEVELOPMENT PIDS.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY DEVELOPMENT PIDS WITHIN THE CITY.

UM, WE COULD, UH, BE ASKED BY A DEVELOPER, UM, IN CREATING ONE AND WE'LL WORK THROUGH THOSE PROCESS AND DO THAT RESEARCH AT THAT TIME.

BUT CURRENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE ANY, UM, IN THE CITY.

THE NEXT SESSION OF THE PYD POLICY IS GENERAL GUIDELINES.

PIDS MUST BE SELF-SUFFICIENT AND FINANCIALLY SELF-SUSTAINING.

SO THEY CANNOT REQUIRE THE CITY TO INCUR ANY KIND OF COSTS WITH A FORMATION FORMATION AND OR THE CREATION OF A PIT.

UM, IT ALSO GIVES GUIDELINES ON LEGAL NOTICES AND PROPERTY DISCLOSURES.

SO IF A PROPERTY IS WITHIN A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, THIS INFORMATION IS, UM, GIVEN TO THE, UH, COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND IT IS ATTACHED TO THE PARCEL.

SO IF A PROPERTY IS SOLD, THE NEXT BUYER WILL KNOW THAT THIS PROPERTY IS WITHIN A PIN.

IT ALSO GIVES GUIDELINES ON THE TIMELINESS OF PETITION.

UM, IN THERE, IT GIVES A PARAMETER OF SIX MONTHS.

THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHO HAVE A TIMEFRAME AS SHORT TIMEFRAME AS POSSIBLE.

IF THEY TAKE IT OUT TOO LONG, PROPERTY OWNERS SELL THEIR PROPERTY, THEY MOVE, THEN IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THE SIGNATURE OF THE PREVIOUS PROPERTY OWNER THAT IT'S NOT A VERIFIED VALID SIGNATURE.

SO WE LIKE TO KEEP THEIR TIMELINESS IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

ALSO GIVES GUIDELINES ON FINANCIAL REPORTING, UM, WORKS WITH FINANCE ON EXPENSES AND BUDGETING.

ANOTHER SECTION OF THE PID POLICY IS A PIT OPERATIONS.

SO IT GIVES GUIDELINES ON BOARD MEMBERSHIP.

UH, THE FIRST YEAR OF A PID CREATION CITY COUNCIL WILL THEN APPOINT THEIR FIRST PID BOARD.

IN ADDITION TO ASSIGN ONE TO TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE FIRST YEAR, WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT AND THE LEADERSHIP, THOSE KIDS, IF YOU SERVE.

UM, AFTER THAT, IT'S AN ELECTION PROCESS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO GIVES, UM, GUIDELINES ON BOARD AUTHORITY.

BYLAWS.

WE DO PROVIDE A TEMPLATE IN THE, UH, OPERATING HANDBOOK NOW FOR NEIGHBORHOODS TO CREATE THEIR PIDS, TO CREATE THEIR BYLAWS, UM, GIVES GUIDELINES ON MEETINGS, UM, IN THE PYD POLICY.

THERE'S ONE REQUIRED ANNUAL MEETING A YEAR, AND THAT REALLY COINCIDES WITH THEIR BUDGET AND THEIR ELECTION.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU ALL PIDS MEET MONTHLY.

THEY ALL HAVE ONGOING PROJECTS.

THERE IS A NEED FOR THEM TO MEET MONTHLY.

AND THEY CURRENTLY DO THAT, UM, PROVIDE SERVICES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT GIVES THEM THE AUTHORITY OF WHAT PIDS ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO.

SO IT'S REALLY WORK AND IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY.

AND THEN ALSO GIVES GUIDELINES ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

AND THIS CASE MANY TIMES PITS WILL WORK WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND FINANCE TO HELP MOVE THEIR PROJECT FORWARD SMOOTHLY WITHIN THE CITY.

UH, THE NEXT SECTION IS THE PIT ADMINISTRATION.

UM, THE ADVISORY BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THEIR PIT AND CITY STAFF PROVIDES LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION TO THE ADVISORY BOARDS RELATING TO INTERACTING AND SUPPORTING PIT OPERATIONS.

AND SO THE PIT POLICY THEN GOES INTO MORE DETAIL OF WHAT, UH, WHAT EACH DEPARTMENT WILL DO.

UM, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES WILL ACT AS A PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT FOR PIT INTERACTIONS.

UM,

[00:40:01]

SO EACH YEAR, SHORTLY BEFORE, UM, BUDGET, THE COUNTY APPRAISAL WILL SEND US ALL OF THE PID PORTFOLIOS.

WE HAVE TO VERIFY THAT THE BOUNDARIES HAVEN'T CHANGED AND THAT SAME AMOUNT OF PARCELS IN THERE.

AND WE SEND THAT BACK TO THE COUNTY AND WE ASSIST BOARDS IN PREPARING THEIR ANNUAL BUDGET AND PUBLIC HEARINGS AND COORDINATION WITH FINANCE AND CITY SECRETARY.

AND WE DEVELOP AND PROVIDE BOARDS WITH A TEMPLATE FOR BYLAWS.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT ALSO PLAYS A ROLE IN PIT ADMINISTRATION.

UM, THEY COLLECT AND JOURNALIZE ALL THE PIT ASSESSMENTS.

THEY ASSIST BOARDS WITH THEIR ANNUAL BUDGETS, AND THEY ALSO PROVIDE MONTHLY REPORTS TO THE BOARDS AT THE END OF EACH MONTH.

UM, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT SENDS, UH, EACH PYD THEIR MONTHLY REPORT THROUGH MICROSOFT TEAMS. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT TOOL TO USE, UM, PROVIDES PURCHASING AND BUDGET TRAINING TO BOARDS, AND THEY PAY ALL THEIR PIT INVOICES AFTER REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF EACH PIN BOARD.

ALSO WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, THEY ASSIST, UH, THESE PENS, UH, WITH THEIR PROJECTS FOR PROVIDING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ON THE CITY'S CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA AND PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS.

UM, THEY ALSO ASSIST WITH DEVELOPING AGENDAS FOR CITY COUNCIL FOR PROJECT APPROVAL, IF NEEDED.

AND THEY ALSO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON BEST PRACTICES RELATED TO CONTRACT NEGOTIATION AND SELECTION.

MANY TIMES THEIR PROJECTS ARE IN PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO WITH DEVELOPING AND PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY.

AND, UH, ROBERT WOODBERRY HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET FOR THE PIDS ON THESE PROJECTS.

IN ADDITION, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT ALSO PLAYS A ROLE.

THEY ASSIST WITH THE PROCESS OF A DEVELOPMENT PIT.

IF ONE WAS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE CITY AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES WOULD WORK THROUGH THAT.

AND THEY ALSO REVIEW ALL THE PID PROJECT REQUESTS TO ENSURE THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ORDINANCE.

THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE CERTIFIES THE VALIDITY OF A PETITION SUBMITTED FOR CREATION OF A PID.

SO WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD SUBMITS THEIR PETITION, UM, HIGH POINT FOR EXAMPLE, HAS 2,600 HOMES.

THEY HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST 50% SIGNATURES.

SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY OVER 1300 SIGNATURES CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE GOES THROUGH AND VERIFY THAT EACH SIGNATURE MATCHES THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S A VERY TIME-CONSUMING TASK, BUT THEY'RE VERY QUICK AT DOING THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN THEY TRACK ALL THE PID RELATED OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS.

UM, WE ALSO USE THE CITY ATTORNEY QUITE A BIT ON, UM, ALL THEIR AGREEMENTS.

SO THEY REVIEW ALL THE PYD RELATED AGREEMENTS RELATED TO A PIT ESTABLISHMENT.

SO EVEN PRIOR TO THE PID BEING ESTABLISHED, THE REVIEWING ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS, AND ALSO THE CITY ATTORNEY REVIEWS, ALL THE PROJECT RELATED CONTRACTS, AGREEMENTS, AND AGENDA ITEMS, ITEMS. AND THEN FINALLY IN THE PID POLICY ALSO ALLOWS FOR A PID EXPANSION.

SO FOR YOUR, UM, IF THERE IS ALREADY A, AN EXISTING PID DEVELOPER WANTS TO COME IN AND MAYBE BE ABLE TO PHASE ONE OR PHASE TWO OR PHASE THREE, UM, THEY CAN BE THEN INCORPORATED INTO AN EXISTING PID, BUT THAT PROCESS IS STILL VERY SIMILAR TO CREATING A PIN.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE A PETITION THAT HAS TO BE SUBMITTED AND A PUBLIC HEARING IS REQUIRED, UM, FOR THAT.

AND THEN ALSO IF A PIN WOULD WANT TO BE DISSOLVED, A PID MAY BE DISSOLVED AT ANY TIME AFTER WE RECEIVE, UM, THE GOVERNING BODY IS IN RECEIPT, MAJORITY APPROVAL OF OUR PROPERLY COMMITTED, COMPLETED PETITION.

SO FOR A PIT TO BE DISSOLVED REQUIRES THE SAME THING, A PETITION PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN, UM, CITY COUNCIL DOES, CAN DECIDE AT THAT TIME TO DISSOLVE A PIN.

SO NEXT WE'LL MOVE ON TO PIT ADVISORY BOARDS AND WHAT WE PLAN TO PARTNER WITH ADVISORY BOARDS ON PID.

UH, THE PID BOARD MEMBER TRAINING WILL BE ANNUALLY AFTER ELECTION.

SO IF ANY NEW BOARD MEMBERS ARE ELECTED ONTO THE PID BOARD, WE WILL PROVIDE THAT MEM BOARD MEMBER TRAINING, AND ALSO IT'LL WORK AS A REFRESHER FOR, UM, THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN ON AS WELL.

UM, FINANCE WILL HELP WITH BUDGET TRAINING ANNUALLY.

ALSO, WE WOULD COINCIDE THAT, UM, DURING THE ELECTION PROCESS AND THEN ALSO, UM, STAFF IS, UH, CREATED A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HANDBOOK, WHICH

[00:45:02]

WE HAVE SENT THIS TO ALL THE PID CHAIRS.

WE SENT THIS TO THEM ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO.

SO FAR ALL THEIR COMMENTS HAVE BEEN, THEY WISHED THAT THEY WOULD'VE HAD IT WHEN THEY WERE CREATED.

SO WE FIND THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT TOOL FOR EXISTING PITS AND ALSO PITS THAT WISH TO BE CREATED.

SO NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT IS THE ADOPTION OF THE PID POLICY RESOLUTION, APPROVING A PID POLICY FOR THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

AND THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION LAYER PUTS HIMSELF.
