For uncollectible debt, we are to write the debt off after 180 days of non-payment. FISCAL IMPACT To ensure that our outstanding receivables are current, we are requesting to write-off $47,392.97 of uncollectible Water, Sewer, Garbage and Drainage Accounts. The amounts included in this request are for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2008. All collection efforts have been exhausted. I am forwarding this request for approval; it is the recommendation of the City Auditor, Fred Timmons, to keep our receivables current. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approval. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ: That the above stated Utility Billing recommends City Council approve the Write-Off amount of $47,392.97. PASSED AND APPROVED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas this 18th day of November, 2008, at which meeting a quorum was present, held in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Government Code, §551.001 et seq., as amended. APPROVED Hal Baldwin, Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________________ Brenda Dennis, City Secretary Memo-Resolution.doc Agenda No. 3 CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM City Council Meeting: November 18, 2008 Department: Economic Development Subject: Resolution No. 08-R-52 -Approval of an Infrastructure Development Agreement between SCC Development Company, LLC. and the City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation in the amount of $28,600 BACKGROUND The developer for the Walgreen’s property is requesting a subsidy to offset the cost of TxDOT improvements to service part of the development. There are 5 lots in the development, with Walgreen’s having closed on Lot 5 and Lot 6 (2.82 acres) currently under contract with a buyer. The remaining Lots 2 (.85 acres), 3 (.9776 acres), and 4 (1.212 acres) are to be sold in the future. TxDOT required the developer to install a left turn lane to service the development. This improvement cost the developer an additional $206,809, which was not figured into the original development budget. A breakdown of these development costs are outlined below: The EDC Board of Directors voted on June 26, 2008 to pay a portion of the development costs with the intent that a lower cost on the pad sites will induce further development. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SCC has already made the improvements as outlined in the Infrastructure Development Agreement. ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: Based upon calculations, every $10,000 of public support lowers the cost of the three lots by approximately $.08 dollars per square foot. The lower the cost of the pad sites, the more quickly they will be purchased and developed into revenueproducing entities. Walgreen’s will not share in the increase because they locked their lease rates in before the full extents of the development costs were known. The developer has said that due to the inferiority of Lot 6 with a lack of Interstate frontage, he cannot pass along additional costs on this site either. Given these facts, the developer has structured the pricing of Lots 2, 3, and 4 to absorb the unforeseen development costs of the entire 5 lots. Staff is now aware that a Firestone Tire operation has submitted plans for construction on Lot 2 and a limited service, fast food restaurant is considering Lot 3. Lot 4 was to be reserved for a bank, but given the current state of the industry, it is difficult to say whether or not this will go forward in the near future. Over a five year period, the Walgreen’s store alone will generate direct and indirect sales tax dollars of approximately $270,000. FISCAL IMPACT $28,600, paid by the EDC. RECOMMENDATION Approval of Resolution 08-R-52 approving an Infrastructure Development Agreement between the EDC and SCC. ATTACHMENT Resolution 08-R-52, with the Development Agreement attached Board Memorandum Page 4 The following EIA shows the impact of the Walgreen’s development exclusively: Analysis for Schertz, TX and Guadalupe, Texas County This output worksheet provides estimates of the direct, indirect, induced, and total effects of the development on employment, income, and tax receipts.

The25 new jobs associated with the proposed project are projected to directly result in $0.682 million in additional payroll. Assuming a local economic impact multiplier of 1.5, each dollar of direct payroll will generate an additional 50 cents of indirect and induced wage income locally, for a total addition to payroll of $1.023 million. Property Tax Receipts. Assuming that the $1.663 million investment in plant and equipment associated with the project ultimately finds its way onto the property tax rolls, property taxes associated directly with the project could total $12,172 annually. And assuming a local economic impact multiplier of 1.5, and a constant capital to output ratio, the $1.663 million capital investment could also result in an additional $0.083 million in indirect and induced investment subject to property taxes. If the 25 new jobs generate demand for1 new housing units with an average value of $125,000, the proposed project could expand the residential property tax rolls by as much as $0.063 million. Such as impact would be associated with approximately $255 in new property tax receipts annually. Sales Tax Receipts. Assuming that the volume of consumer purchases subject to sales tax averages 10% of personal income, the additional payroll would add $1,841 annually to sales tax collections in the county. Miscellaneous project purchases not exempt from sales taxes estimated at $1.8 million, might, given the corresponding multiplier expenditures, add $54,000 annually to sales tax collections in the county. Total Tax Receipts. The project as outlined could be expected to generate total direct and indirect tax revenue in the county equal to $68,630. Of this amount, $12,768 would come in the form of higher property tax receipts in the county. An additional $54,128 of city sales taxes would be generated in Schertz, TX and $1,712 sales tax revenue would be generated in other cities and towns in the county. Total tax revenue generated in the area is estimated at $2,745 per new direct job.
