ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS: A total of twenty-three (23) bid invitations were downloaded from Bidsync.com. Three (3) bids were received June 5, 2014. This contract involves various types of work related to specific repairs of concrete pavement, as well as general concrete related work.

Ms. Cory Price with the City of Irving Animal Care Campus submitted an invitation encouraging city shelters and other animal organizations to participate in the one-day event. The shelters choosing to participate must be in agreement with the following two requirements: a) to waive the applicable city adoption fee during the event; and, b) partner with the City of Irving’s promotion efforts to use similar announcements to help publicize the event.

Page 4 INTRODUCTION BIG ISSUES BIG IDEAS VISION BIG MOVES NEXT STEPS BIG MOVES 01 Green Centerpiece 02 Extending the Green There are nine Big Moves, indicating nine areas of focus, with each representing big-ticket items that will have the greatest impact to move Lewisville forward by 2025. Each Big Move is characterized by two elements: 1. What does the Big Move mean in Lewisville? 2. What are the top priorities for this Big Move? 03 Old Town 04 Thriving Neighborhoods While the recommendations within the Big Moves are not the only things to accomplish, they represent a culmination of the top nine areas in which Lewisville could have the most impact over the next 10 years and accomplish many of the desires reflected by the community throughout the process. The Big Moves are: 1. Create a Green Centerpiece within the large natural floodplain area below the dam and along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. 05 New Neighborhood Choices 06 Employment Centers 07 Identity Focal Points 08 Marketing and Communications 09 Sustainability • Make Lewisville distinctive by focusing the community around a special Green Centerpiece. • Take advantage of Lewisville Lake and its floodway to give Lewisville a natural open space and urban wilderness that can be part of everyday life for all Lewisville residents. • Use this Green Centerpiece to position Lewisville as a unique community within the DFW Metroplex. 2. Extending the Green by expanding the Green Centerpiece and trail system, both physically and visually, with other parts of the City. • Connect the Green Centerpiece to Lewisville’s neighborhoods and business areas so the benefits of this distinctive center translate to all the places where people live and work in Lewisville. Executive Summary vii • Prioritize City investments to provide aesthetic, health and other benefits throughout the community, as well as enhancements to the City’s parks and recreation system. • Attract the new businesses and people who want a healthy green lifestyle through public investments and the design of new private developments 3. Continue investment in Old Town. • Old Town, the City’s historic center, provides a primary opportunity to define and expand Lewisville’s regional identity over the next 10 years through coordinated investment delivering memorable urban living, restaurants, entertainment and downtown workplace environments. • Encourage development to solidify the core and clearly define the boundaries of the urban district. • Establish a clear branding strategy for the district that solidifies its identity. 4. Maintain and enhance Lewisville’s Thriving Neighborhoods. • Maintain the relevance and property values of existing neighborhoods. • Develop strategies to reinvest in residential properties and encourage upkeep. • Create a cohesive and connected group of neighborhood leaders who help keep existing neighborhoods thriving in the future. viii Executive Summary 5. Create New Neighborhood Choices. • Provide expanded neighborhood choices to make Lewisville the location of choice for all ages and incomes. • Concentrate future loft and mixed-use residential choices near Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) stations. • Support new neighborhoods for those desiring more upscale housing by considering Castle Hills and Town of Hebron area (150+ acres) annexations. 6. Enhance existing and accommodate future Employment Centers. • Take strategic advantage of Lewisville’s prime location within the region and its access to regionally significant activity centers. • Enhance existing employment center sites and accommodate future businesses that provide a stable tax base for the City. • Promote Lewisville as a community that provides a variety of employment options for residents who want a range of housing and neighborhood choices. • Provide options for redevelopment/development for properties impacted by right-of-way acquisitions along IH 35E corridor. 7. Focus reinvestment on three primary Identity Focal Points. • A series of special development events, or Identity Focal Points, should be implemented at the most highly visible intersections and gateways to form a new identity for Lewisville. These nodes of development will create interesting pulse points, destinations and a sense of place for the city. INTRODUCTION BIG ISSUES BIG IDEAS VISION BIG MOVES NEXT STEPS • Encourage developments at Southern Gateway, Northern Gateway and Business 121/IH 35E. Focus implementation of recommendations related to the IH 35E Redevelopment Plan towards these three areas. • Consider a master developer for each focal point area. 8. Communicate Lewisville’s values and offering through a Marketing and Communications strategy. • As Lewisville grows during the next 10 years and beyond, it should implement consistent communication and marketing plans. • Provide stability in communicating what Lewisville values. • Take advantage of existing community communication resources. • Attract new residents, visitors and businesses. • Communicate Lewisville’s values and offerings to market to future residents and investors. 9. Create a community that embraces Sustainability. • Create a community that is sustainable – desirable and thriving – over the long term. • For Lewisville, sustainability means that limited resources (such as land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets and public funds) are used efficiently to provide a desirable quality of life and business climate that today’s residents and businesses need and want, without reducing Lewisville’s ability to provide that same quality of life and business climate to support the success of future generations of residents and businesses.

There are anticipated to be major impacts to private land along the west side of the highway and minor impacts to private land along the east side of the highway due to widening. The vision for the lake area is being developed through a separate process, and this study recognizes that this area will have a significant economic development impact as it develops as a mixed-use transit oriented development at the northern gateway into the city. This subarea summary focuses on the west side of IH-35E and includes an overview of existing conditions, parcel impacts, short term strategies and a summary of the fiscal analysis. Lewisville Lake Existing Conditions DCTA Existing Land Use The predominant land uses east of IH-35E include parks and open space, car/boat sales and storage, and retail/restaurant uses that serve visitors to Lewisville Lake. The new DCTA transit station is just south of Garden Ridge Boulevard and east of IH-35E. The long term vision for the east side of IH-35E is captured in the Lewisville Lake Master Plan. That plan envisions a destination-oriented restaurant, entertainment, and specialty retail environment, with a supportive tie to the lake front. Immediately west of the highway are primarily vacant parcels with some small-scale retail. en Gard DCTA Transit Station 5E IH-3 City of Lewisville IH-35E Corridor Redevelopment Plan T T Existing Mobility Garden Ridge Boulevard provides access from IH-35E to the single-family neighborhood of Highland Village.

TOD IN OLD TOWN LEWISVILLE About the Old Town Lewisville TOD The Old Town TOD planning area comprises approximately 330 acres in the heart of Lewisville. At its core is a Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) commuter rail station that will connect the City of Denton in the north to Downtown Dallas via connectivity with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system. The TOD plan will utilize public investments to help spur private development and maximize grant funds based on buildable and realistic plans around the rail station. Lewisville has already been able to secure several million dollars in intergovernmental grants to implement public investment plans for civic and infrastructure improvements. Continuing this momentum into private development is key to successful implementation of the plan. Connecting the Rail with Old Town Lewisville The vision of the Old Town TOD is to cohesively engage land-us and development around the Denton County Transportation Authority’s Old Town Lewisville Station. This station is the largest of the commuter rail stops in Lewisville, while creating an environment where residents can live, work, and play without sole reliance on a vehicle. Design considerations account for a phased approach that will enable development and redevelopment to occur in a way that buffers and screens incompatible uses.

BACKGROUND The previous annual contract for Concrete Pavement Repairs has expired, requiring new bids be received. This contract covers various concrete repairs that will take place within a geographic area, or neighborhood at a time. It is part of the City’s Five Year Street and Drainage Program. Types of typical repairs include pavement replacement, as well as repairs to curb, gutters, sidewalks and alleys. The contractor may be mobilized in the designated area for a 2-3 month period of time. The City also maintains a separate concrete repair contract that covers the same items as this contract, but is intended to be reactionary to citizens’ complaints, and the contractor performs his work all throughout the City with various crews on an “as needed” basis. ANALYSIS On June 5, 2014, three (3) bids were received and opened for the Annual Contract for Concrete Repair. The apparent low bid is from SAZ Infrastructure, Dallas, TX, in the amount of $2,996,758.50. SAZ Infrastructure happens to be our current contractor for the other concrete repair contract mentioned above, which is designed to take care of citizens’ complaints around the City. The contract was awarded to SAZ in September 2013 and the City’s experience with this contractor has been favorable. As part of the evaluation process, staff met with the principals of the company in order to go over the firm’s financials, list of proposed equipment and traffic control plan. The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the firm’s plan of action with regards of handling both concrete jobs. At the conclusion of that meeting, staff feels the firm has sufficient manpower and resources to fully service both contracts successfully. RECOMMENDATION It is City staff’s recommendation that this bid in the amount of $2,996,758.50 be awarded to SAZ Infrastructure. Funding is available for this contract through various CIP Project Accounts.

DALLAS, TEXAS $3,815,887.50 MEMORANDUM TO: Donna Barron, City Manager FROM: Eric Ferris, Assistant City Manager DATE: July 21, 2014 SUBJECT: Consideration of a Variance to Lewisville City Code, Section 2-201, Fee Schedule, Regarding Waiving the Adoption Fee for the Upcoming “Empty the Shelter” Adoption Event to be Held Conjointly With Multiple Participating City Shelters and Other Animal Organizations Throughout the Dallas Fort Worth Region on August 16, 2014. BACKGROUND In an effort to save animal lives, reduce overcrowding in shelters, and promote animal adoptions, all Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Animal Shelters have been asked to participate in the “Empty the Shelter” adoption event, which is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Studies have shown that promoting these types of events does help save animal lives and greatly reduces overcrowding. Ms. Cory Price with the City of Irving Animal Care Campus submitted an invitation encouraging City shelters and other animal organizations to participate in the one-day event. The shelters choosing to participate must be in agreement with two requirements: a) to waive the applicable City adoption fee during the event; and, b) participating cities must be agreeable to partnering with the City of Irving’s promotional team in order to use similar announcements to help publicize the event. Each City will use their own approved logo. This has been discussed and currently approved through the City’s Marketing and Tourism Manager. The requested fee waiver applies only to the $50 adoption fee and does not waive the annual registration fee. Additionally, the State law which requires the adopter to comply with the 30-day sterilization requirement of their animal from the date of the adoption or immediately after the animal becomes of appropriate age is still in effect for this event. The City of Lewisville requires the adopters to pre-pay in advance for the sterilization through an approved licensed veterinarian office. The adopter is also required to prepay for a rabies pre-exposure vaccine, which is to be administered during the time of the sterilization service. ANALYSIS Currently, the Animal Shelter charges a $50 adoption fee for both cats and dogs, regardless of the age or size of the animal. Staff anticipates the shelter will have the maximum number of animals allowed of seventy-three kennels and cages available for adoption on the day of the “Empty the Shelter” adoption event. Additional retail-type cages in the front corridor will house approximately another ten small kittens. Therefore, the maximum requested fee waiver for the event would be approximately $4,150, if all available animals were adopted during the event.

Bacchus, Assistant City Manager DATE: July 17, 2014 SUBJECT: Update on Old Town Park Plaza Timeline. BACKGROUND Competitive sealed proposals were received in March 2013 for the Old Town Plaza Project (OTPP). Council approved the contract with JC Commercial of Lewisville, Texas in the amount of $5,277,777.33. The original completion date within the contract was April 30, 2014. Eleven change orders have either been approved or are under review which adds 88 days to the original completion date providing for a new completion date of July 27, 2014. Staff is aware of additional change orders that may increase this date to early-to-mid September, for substantial completion. The project will be substantially completed before the 2014 Western Days event. ANALYSIS The OTPP is a difficult and complicated project due to several factors. The project encompasses 13 properties with varying surface elevations. Numerous elevation changes to meet ADA requirements regarding cross and horizontal slopes had to be resolved. The project also included the conversion of overhead utilities to underground. When this work began, problems arose that were not known at the time of design. Some of the numerous problems included old, improper service lines for water, sewer, drainage and gas lines. Many of the problems with the existing lines required total replacement of the service lines to the buildings but also required replacement of the gas main from Charles to Mill. Another issue involved the location of a large cistern that was partially under the property and an adjacent building. Grease interceptors were also discovered that required additional work and realignment to continue the project. Most of the underground work is completed and the remaining major concrete work should be completed within the next several weeks. Several material items such as lights, light poles and landscaping materials have been secured and are awaiting delivery. The poles and lights are expected to be delivered in early to mid-August with installation completed in the first two (2) weeks of September. Trees and other plantings are scheduled for shipping by Friday July 25, 2014. Subject: Old Town Park Plaza July 17, 2014 Page 2 of 2 Due to the complexity of the project, staff required the architect and engineer to meet weekly with the contractor. There are 135 Request for Information (RFI’s) to date which required the contractor to submit questions or concerns regarding the plans and specifications or to verify the intent of certain features and seek a reply from the architect, engineer or staff. To date, there have been 69 Field Changes to the project. Some changes were no cost items while others required additional funding. City initiated changes to the project included additional wiring and related structures to support installation of Wi-Fi to the park area, addition of security lighting for after hours when the park is closed, and installation of additional potable water spigots for events within the prairie (grass) area. Based on the updated completion schedule presented by the contractor on July 16, 2014, anticipated substantial completion is scheduled for September 11, 2014. The contractor will open any sections of the OTPP if substantially complete, and secure the adjacent work zone. A project completion punch list will be prepared and repairs/modifications will be performed after the substantial completion date. The contract does allow for liquidated damages in the amount of $500 per day beyond the completion date. This will be reviewed and assessed after the project is completed but before final payment.

Per schedule, project substantial completion date, September 11, 2014 * Penalties of $500/day beginning this date and assessed at project completion and final payment submission MEMORANDUM TO: Donna Barron, City Manager FROM: Melinda Galler, Assistant City Manager DATE: July 17, 2014 SUBJECT: HEALTH PLAN REPORT BACKGROUND: The City of Lewisville has provided a health insurance plan through a partially self-insured program since 1990 using various Third Party Administrators (TPA) and provider networks. Per Administrative Policy 2.15.1 – Comprehensive Medical Plan, the City Manager functions as the Plan Administrator and is responsible for the development, administration and execution of the plan of benefits. The policy requires staff to submit a report to Council annually explaining the proposed changes to the plan of benefits and changes in employee premiums. The plan year runs October through September matching the City’s fiscal year. The partially self-funded health plan concept allows staff to set the rates charged to employees for various levels of coverage as well as the “employer rate” the City charges itself per budgeted position. These rates are based on administrative costs (individual and aggregate stop loss insurance and TPA services), claims costs, and medical inflation. All premiums from both the City and the employees are placed in the health fund that was established under Chapter 172 of the Local Government Code as a risk pool. Essentially, a risk pool is a trust for the collection and investment of contributions and the payment of benefits. Once the money is placed into the trust, it cannot be used for anything other than the payment of health benefits for City of Lewisville employees and retirees and their dependents. The City strives to balance the reserves to ensure the employees are receiving the best benefit with a proper balance between the employer rate and the employee rate. September 30, 2014, will end the first year of a three-year contract with Cigna to provide TPA and network provider services. Currently under the City’s partially self-insured plan, the City is responsible for the first $135,000 of each claim with individual stop loss coverage for all claims in excess of this amount. Aggregate stop loss insurance provides overall plan protection by assuring that insurance coverage is provided when total claim payments exceed a specified amount. In the current year, Cigna also has the stop loss contract. Cigna paid $585,139 in stop loss reimbursements during the 2012-2013 plan year, and has paid an additional $454,321 since October 1, 2013, for the current plan year. Total stop loss Subject: Health Plan Update July 17, 2014 Page 2 reimbursements since October 1, 2009, paid out by Cigna is $6.7 million. The City has is accepting proposals for stop loss insurance for Plan Year 2014-15 and will provide a final recommendation to Council in August for approval. As you know, Council approved an agreement with Marathon Health to open a joint employee clinic with the City of Coppell. Wellness Works Health Center opened its doors on January 29 and staff began seeing patients. Lewisville and Coppell employees and dependents covered under the Cities’ health insurance plans are eligible to utilize the facility and services. Marathon’s focus is on wellness and prevention; however, patients are also encouraged to use the Center for acute care as well. The Human Resources staff has received numerous emails and phone calls from employees thanking the Council and City staff for providing the Wellness Center and bragging on the Marathon staff who run the facility. Utilization to date has been high; however, since it has only been open for five months, it is difficult to ascertain the actual savings to the plan. Next year, staff will be able to compare actual usage to previous year’s visits with primary care physicians to evaluate the savings to the Plan. The Wellness Works Health Center has become the anchor to the City of Lewisville’s Wellness Plan for incenting wellness exams for employees and their covered spouses. The participation in the Wellness programs continues to increase annually. Staff would like to think that this increased participation can be linked to the 11% decrease in claims from 2011-12 to 2012-13. (See chart below) ANALYSIS AND PLAN DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS: Even though the City’s medical claims experience decreased by 11% from 2011-12 to 2012-13, anticipated changes related to Health Care Reform forced the City to increase its annual contribution per employee from $9,747 to $10,097 or 3.6%. In addition, employee premiums are increasing 5% for the current HRA, HSA and CAT plans. EXPENSES 2011‐12 2012‐13 Total Increase RX Costs Medical/Dental Claims TPA/Reinsurance/Expenses $1,095,487 $5,503,177 $1,227,305 $1,168,789 $4,890,707 $1,495,591 7% ‐11% 22% TOTAL $7,825,970 $7,555,087 ‐3% Beginning with Plan Year 2014-15, Health Care Reform will force several changes to our current plan design. The City will have to comply with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act that requires group health plans to ensure that financial requirements such as deductibles and Subject: Health Plan Update July 17, 2014 Page 3 treatment limitations applicable to mental health or substance use disorder benefits are no more restrictive than the limitations applied to all other all-medical benefits. Also, Health Care Reform will limit deductibles and out-of pocket maximums for plan designs effective this plan year. You will see those plan changes described below as they pertain to each plan. In an effort to offset some of the additional costs related to Health Care Reform, employees will see a higher co-insurance rate (90% instead of 80%) for use of a narrower network of providers through the Cigna network. These providers were selected for this specialized network based on a combination of their patient outcomes and fee structures. In addition, with the 7% increase in RX Cost from 2011-12 to 2012-13, staff is recommending a change to our current pharmacy benefit from a two-tiered structure to a three-tiered structure. Under all three plans, there will be “Non-preferred Brand” tier added which will have an increased co-insurance of 40% as opposed to the current 30% for all categories of “Brand” drugs. Currently, the City offers employees a choice between three health plans, which are consumer driven plans with higher deductibles and no co-payments. The City has continued to educate employees on becoming wiser consumers of health care by managing their Health Reimbursement Account and Health Saving Account funds and with utilizing Flexible Spending Accounts. Below is a plan comparison of the benefits under each medical plan with highlights of the changes being made to each plan for a cost savings to either claims or requirements effective under Health Care Reform: CAT PLAN – (Catastrophic Plan) Indemnity Plan (fee for service like the HRA Plan but higher deductibles) Individual in-network deductible is $5,000 Out of Pocket Maximum – Reduced from an additional $5000 after deductible to $1,350 (HCR requirement) Individual out of network deductible is $10,000 and additional $10,000 of out of pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum.

Individual in-network deductible is $2,000 and additional $4,000 of out of pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum. Individual out-of-network deductible is $5,900, and the Out of Pocket Maximum is an additional $9,500. Family in-network deductible is $4,000 and additional $8,000 of out-of-pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum. Family out-of-network deductible is $11,800, and the Out of Pocket Maximum is an additional $19,000. 90% Coinsurance for use of Cigna Care Designated Provider (narrow network) and 80% for all other In-Network providers. Pharmacy Retail: 10% Generic, 30% Preferred Brand, and 40% Non-Preferred Brand to a max of $150.

(Preferred Brand and Non-Preferred Brand were previously both combined at 25%) Mental Health and Substance Abuse Visit Limitations removed. (HCR requirement) HSA PLAN – Under the Healthcare Savings Account (HSA) Plan, employees have the option of choosing a plan where both the City and the employee can contribute money to Subject: Health Plan Update July 17, 2014 Page 5 the account. The IRS limits the annual contributions to an HSA. In 2014, contribution limits will be $3,300 for employee only and $6,550 for employee plus dependent. Employees over 55 can contribute an additional $1,000. (Maximum includes the City’s contribution.) City contributes $500 to the HSA account for employee only coverage and $1000 to the HSA account for employee plus dependent(s). Employees who participate in the wellness program receive an additional $250 in their account. Unused funds roll over each year. HSA funds belong to the employee and are portable when the employee terminates from the plan. Individual in-network deductible is $3,000 and additional $2,950 of out of pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum. Individual out-of-network deductible is $7,500 and additional $9,500 of out of pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum. Family in-network deductible is $6,000 and additional $5,900 of out-of-pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum Family out-of-network deductible is $15,000 and additional $19,000 of out-of-pocket costs necessary to meet the Out of Pocket Maximum 90% Coinsurance for use of Cigna Care Designated Provider (narrow network) and 80% for all other In-Network providers.

(Preferred Brand and Non-Preferred Brand were previously both combined at 30%) Pharmacy Mail: 10% Generic, 25% Preferred Brand, and 40% Non-Preferred Brand to a max of $300. (Preferred Brand and Non-Preferred Brand were previously both combined at 25%) Mental Health and Substance Abuse Visit Limitations removed. (HCR requirement) DENTAL PLAN There will be no changes to the dental plan this fiscal year. However, the premiums for dental insurance will increase 5% on October 1, 2014. Employees who carry dental insurance will pay $7 per month in addition to the premium for their health insurance. The City’s contribution for dependents on the dental plan remains at an average of 25%. VISION PLAN The City will continue to offer fully insured vision insurance to employees and their dependents through Block Vision. The City will pay for the employee’s coverage at a rate of $3.75 per Subject: Health Plan Update July 17, 2014 Page 6 month per employee. Dependents will be offered coverage with the employee paying 100% of the cost of the dependent coverage under the plan. WELLNESS INITIATIVE Staff is recommending that the plan continue to encourage and reward participation in the Wellness Program. To meet the wellness initiative, employees covered under the City’s health insurance and any covered spouses are required to complete a Comprehensive Health Review (CHR) at the Wellness Works Health Center. This CHR visit forms the foundation of the Marathon Health program and helps identify health concerns and areas for overall health improvement. This current plan year, the program consisted of a biometric blood draw. In addition, employees were incentivized to complete a Health History Review and Assessment (HHRA) through the Marathon website. Over 85% of covered employees completed their biometrics reinforcing the engagement the City has with the employees regarding the importance of their health. The biometrics and information from the HHRA were uploaded to the individual’s account at Marathon. The clinical team at Marathon used the information to identify those at a higher risk for chronic health conditions and began making outreach calls. This data also provides Marathon the necessary elements they need to assist the individuals with managing their overall health and wellness. In Plan Year 2014-15, the City will continue to add a $25 per month surcharge for employees who do not participate in the wellness screenings and an additional $25 for dependent spouses who do not participate in the wellness screenings. Employees who participate in the wellness initiative not only avoid the $25 monthly surcharge, but they receive an additional $250 added to their HRA or HSA account. In addition, as in the current fiscal year, a $25 per month surcharge will be added to the premiums for employees who use tobacco products and do not participate in the tobacco cessation program. Subject: Health Plan Update July 17, 2014 Page 7 The employee premiums for Plan Year 2014-15 are detailed below: CIGNA Health Plans Monthly Rates CAT HSA HRA Employee Only $0 $25 $35 Employee + Spouse $26 $236 $320 Employee + Child(ren) $14 $172 $233 Employee + Family $55 $403 $545 NOTE: Add $25 to all rates if employee does not participate in wellness program Add $25 additional if covered spouse does not participate in wellness program Add $25 if employee is a tobacco user and does not participate in Tobacco Cessation Program Retiree Insurance The retiree premiums for retirees under age 65 are based on the years of service an employee has with the City of Lewisville prior to retirement. The City’s contribution towards the premium is a flat rate based on the employee’s tenure with the City. Currently, the City contributes the following amount towards the retiree premiums: CITY CONTRIBUTION RATE FOR RETIREES 25+ 20 -24 15 to 19 10 to 14 Less Than 10 $470 $432 $395 $358 $320 CITY CONTRIBUTION RATE FOR SPOUSE 25+ 20 -24 15 to 19 10 to 14 Less Than 10 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 The retiree premiums are determined by taking the City’s contribution and subtracting it from the actuary’s “expected cost”. The difference is the rate charged to the retirees. The retirees age 65 and older are moved off the City’s active health to a fully insured plan where the City pays $50 a month of the fully insured premiums. MEMORANDUM TO: Donna Barron, City Manager FROM: Cleve Joiner, Director of Neighborhood Services DATE: July 9, 2014 SUBJECT: REPORT Draft Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2014 Annual Action Plan; and Draft FY 2014-2015 City Social Service Agency Fund Budget of $170,000 From the CDBG Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND Each year the City must submit an Annual Action Plan proposing to spend Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds on priorities identified in the City’s 2012 Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development for the CDBG program. This year’s CDBG allocation to the City will be $587,116 compared to $591,137 in FY 2013-2014. Concurrent with the consideration of proposals for CDBG funding, the CDBG Advisory Committee also scored and reviewed proposals for the City Social Service Agency Fund. The Committee used a target budget of $170,000 for the ‘City Fund’ based on current funding. The Annual Action Plan is currently available for review during a 30 day Public Comment period from July 3, 2014 through August 4, 2014 when a Public Hearing before City Council is scheduled for consideration of a resolution authorizing adoption of the Plan. ANALYSIS The 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan fulfills HUD requirements in order to receive CDBG entitlement grant funds for Housing, Community Development and Public Service projects. At their June 3, 2014 meeting, the Committee, by a vote of 4-0, recommended a draft budget which has been incorporated into the Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan has been developed in accordance with HUD regulations and the City’s Five Year Consolidated Plan. The plan also includes City strategies for its CDBG program such as rationale for geographic targeting, explanation of funding sources, leveraging and coordination with community agencies. This year social service agencies were allocated funds based on an open application cycle. Subject: Report CDBG Annual Action Plan July 9, 2014 Page 2 The Plan calls for continued funding for the First-time Homebuyer program, the Housing Rehab program and street improvements on Morningside, Decker and Poydras. One new project recommended is for land acquisition in support of affordable housing. CDBG funds would be used to purchase vacant property suitable for building single family housing. Staff would then seek proposals from non-profit builders such as Habitat, Denton Affordable Housing Corporation or Extreme Green Homes. Proposals considered by the Committee but not recommended for funding were Operation Peace of Mind – Community Works Program and Women Starting Over. The committee recommends funding one new social service agency: Empowering America’s Future for their In School Mathematics Lab project providing remedial learning for disadvantaged and at-risk students in grades 3rd to 8th. The City Social Service Agency Fund recommendations are also presented below in this draft budget to give Council the opportunity to review or comment although they are not part of the HUD Annual Action Plan. The Committee’s recommendations from the general fund budget will be incorporated into the City Budget process. The Annual Action Plan includes an amendment to the 2013 Holford’s Prairie Street Rehab Project. A section of Holford’s Prairie from Midway Rd. to the Corporate Drive extension will be dropped from the project as it is likely to be improved at a later date using other funding sources. This would also exclude Oak Tree Lane which is north of the new project area, lies in a flood plain area which would have different environmental review criteria and is currently in better condition than the remaining portion of the project. Regarding the projects proposed by staff, over the last decade, the City has completed street projects in nearly all of the eligible residential neighborhoods, making it more difficult to identify new neighborhood-oriented projects for this Action Plan. However, HUD has just released updates in June to its data used to identify low-to-moderate income areas that appears to expand the areas the City can consider. Staff can work to identify new projects for next year or even for mid-year consideration.

A Consolidated Plan was prepared for federal plan years 2012 -2017. The City’s 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan (AAP) is the third AAP under the 2012 Consolidated Plan. The City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for FY 2014 2015 is $587,116, a decrease from the 2012 - 2013 Plan Year allocation of $591,137. The plan includes continued funding for the First-time Homebuyer Assistance Program, Street Rehabilitation/Infrastructure, Housing Rehabilitation and grants to sub-recipients for social service programs. It also funds one new project: Land Acquisition in Support of Affordable Housing. Summary of projects with objectives and outcomes: First-time Homebuyer Assistance providing affordability of decent housing to 10 households - $120,000 Morningside, Decker and Poydras Asphalt Street Rehabilitation providing sustainability of a suitable living environment for 35 households - $70,000 Housing Rehabilitation providing sustainability of decent affordable housing for 2 households - $71,693 Land Acquisition in Support of Affordable Housing providing availability of affordable housing for 6 households - $120,000 Public Service Programs totaling $88,000: 3 Programs providing affordability of a suitable living environment for 132 people from Health Services of North Texas, SPAN and Special Abilities of North Texas formerly Day Stay for Adults. Programs providing accessibility of a suitable living environment for 80 people from CASA, Children’s Advocacy Center, Denton County Friends of the Family, and CCA. INTRODUCTION The Neighborhood Services Department, Grants Division of the City of Lewisville worked with community residents, groups and agencies to create the 2012 2017 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development with special emphasis on conducting a Community Needs Assessment. The strategies, goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan guide the allocation of the City’s CDBG entitlement funding so the funds can most effectively be utilized to benefit Lewisville’s low-to-moderate-income persons, clients, households or neighborhoods. Collaborative efforts with various groups have continued through the years since the first Consolidated Plan was approved in 1997. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funding is a formula-based program designed to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for persons of low/moderate income. The 2014 Annual Action Plan (AAP) describes the projects and activities that will be undertaken with these funds during the City’s 2014 - 2015 Fiscal Year. (References to HUD’s 2014 “Program Year” or “Grant Year” or the City’s “2015 Fiscal Year,” abbreviated “FY ’14-15 or just “FY ‘15” all refer to a period running from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015.) The 2012 Consolidated Plan and this AAP also identify those programs funded by the U.S. Department of Housing 4 and Urban Development (HUD) for which the City assisted with planning or where it would support applications from other entities. Development of the Action Plan began in November 2013 with two public forums and public hearings before the CDBG Advisory Committee. The Committee is charged with recommending activities and a draft budget to the Lewisville City Council. Last year, the Committee had also reviewed draft results of the 2012 Community Needs Assessment and adjusted social service category priorities. which moved Senior Services and Crisis and Financial Relief Services to the 2 nd and 3rd ranked priorities behind Health Services. These new priorities were approved by Council with the 2013 Action Plan and again included in the Request for Proposals for the 2014 Plan. Requests for Proposals (RFP) were released in February 2014 for Public Services and April 2014 for Community Development and Housing CDBG projects. The CDBG Advisory Committee heard presentations and proceeded to analyze and rank proposals. On June 17th the CDBG Advisory Committee adopted a Draft Budget to recommend to City Council the actives and funding amounts listed in this Plan. Funding for Public Services remains on a one-year cycle. After the new Needs Assessment is adopted by City Council, the City may consider returning to two or three year renewable awards beginning next year. As the planning process began with public hearings, it will also end with an opportunity for further public comment on this document before the Advisory Committee on July 15th and City Council on August 4th. After receiving any additional public comments, the City Manager will be authorized by Council to make appropriate changes to the proposed activities and/or to respond to public comments before final submission to HUD by August 15, 2014. A Public Notice has been published setting a 30-day comment period from July 4, 2014 to August 4, 2014. Advertisements were placed in the Friday, July 4, 2014 edition of the Denton Record Chronicle’s Neighbors Go supplement. 5 Assessment of Past Performance: The City has had successes and difficulties in implementing CDBG funded activities. Successes include infrastructure improvements to streets and parks in low income neighborhoods, assessing social service needs, scrutinizing neighborhood conditions and establishing Targeted Reinvestment Neighborhoods (TRN), providing free homebuyer education classes through strong collaborations to hundreds of prospective homebuyers, collaborating with other agencies and the homeless coalition to secure funds and creating relationships with a network of social service providers. Significant deficiencies over the last five years include establishing capacity for an ongoing housing rehabilitation program, spending funds in a timely manner and failure to identify and support infill housing opportunities to create new affordable housing. Working with only two full time staff members, the City’s Neighborhood Services staff has facilitated an open, productive process for planning and networking, but is challenged to maintain a variety of projects at any given time. The timeliness issue has substantially improved since August of 2012 when the City received a finding from HUD for failing to meet the timeliness standard. The standard requires that grantees have a ratio of no more than 1.5 times the annual allocation remaining in the CDBG line of credit balance at the time of HUD’s test. In 2013 a large infrastructure project (Milton Street) was completed substantially improving the ratio. In 2014, the Southwest Parkway Project has been completed and is pending its final payment. Other projects progressed as well. The City is now well within the timeliness ratio requirement at 1.29 on July 3, 2014 with an anticipated drop below 1.2 by the August 2 test date. Public Participation: This Annual Plan represents the third year under the 2012 Consolidated Plan. This plan was developed using an effective citizen participation process in compliance with the regulations set forth in 24 CFR Part 91. The City’s 6 participation plan encourages and empowers citizens to participate in the development of viable urban programs. The City utilized the public input received to help establish strategies and priority needs to guide the development of the Consolidated Plan. The CDBG Advisory Committee is made up of seven citizens appointed by the City Council to provide citizen input. A final public hearing was advertised and held by the City Council before formal adoption. The Consolidated Plan also had considerable public input through a Needs Assessment conducted January – July, 2012 including an agency workshop with directors or stakeholders of agencies, city departments and service organizations ANNUAL ACTION PLAN An action plan is prepared annually which describes the specific activities to be funded during the program year. The City of Lewisville’s Annual Action Plan outlines the use of $587,116 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement funding allocated by HUD for the 2014 Program Year which identifies the method of distributing HUD funds, and addresses the City’s overall housing and community development needs and strategies. Substantial Changes and Amendments to Prior Year Projects: Substantial Amendments: Also being considered at the Public Hearing on August 4, 2014 will be an amendment to the 2013 Action Plan to reduce the scope of the Holford’s Prairie Street Rehab Project. A section of Holford’s Prairie from Midway Rd. to the Corporate Drive extension will be dropped from the project as it is likely to be improved at a later date using other funding sources. This would also exclude Oak Tree Ln. which is north of the new project area, lies in a flood plain area which would have different environmental review criteria and is currently in better condition 7 than the remaining portion of the project. The Amendment will take effect immediately upon adoption. Minor amendments and fund transfers during 2013-2014 which did not require public notice included: o Adding $33,000 to the Southwest Parkway Sidewalk Project in order to accept a final bid on the project o Moving unspent funds from the 2011 to 2012 Housing Rehab Projects to consolidate funding and reporting in one plan year. o Transferring funds to the PY 13 First-time Homebuyer Assistance Program from the Holford’s Prairie and Housing Rehab projects as necessary to assist any additional eligible homebuyers through the end of the year (between $15,000 and $35,000) Homeless and Other Special Needs: In 2000 the Cities of Denton and Lewisville facilitated forming the Denton County Homeless Coalition with various participating agencies. The Coalition steering committee meets on a monthly basis while the general membership meets every other month. DCHC performs a homeless count every year. The coalition set forth the following homeless goals: Facilitate the development of increased shelter space for families and pregnant women. Provide shelter to individuals and households who need housing from the time of shelter release (usually 5 days) to 30 days after release. Increase traditional housing for homeless households with special needs. Develop affordable transitional housing units for homeless households. Support and advocate for local public policies to support affordable housing. Continue to develop permanent supportive housing units for homeless households with special needs. (may include non-chronically homeless as well) 8 This year the Coalition was successful in securing ESG funds (with the City of Denton as the lead applicant) after a year without being funded. The Coalition also succeeded in funding supportive housing for Health Services of North Texas and MHMR, transitional housing through HOPE Inc. and an HMIS through the Continuum of Care process. The City of Lewisville will fund the Friends of the Family shelter with $10,000 from CDBG and $8,000 for outreach from the City Social Service Fund. The Lewisville Salvation Army opened a kitchen in November of 2010 serving lunch three times a week. This was expanded in 2011 to five times a week. They are now serving between 80-100 people on a daily basis. The Lewisville Salvation Army previously received funding from the City’s Social Services Agency Fund for their mortgage/rent and utility assistance program but did not apply for funding for PY 14. The First United Methodist Church in Lewisville began a new program in 2011. For many years the church’s non-profit, New Hope Learning Center, has played an important role by partnering with CCA to provide affordable daycare. New Hope’s new program is called Denton County Youth Today (YOTO) and operated a drop-in program for homeless, abandoned, and at-risk teens for two years. The YOTO program was awarded funds from the City’s Social Services Agency Fund. However, attendance dropped off and the drop-in program was closed in December, 2013 as a staff person could no longer be justified. YOTO will, however, continue providing resources to homeless teens. To address special needs, a preference was established in the City’s Housing Rehabilitation program for those individuals who are elderly, lowest income, or disabled. Additionally, the City uses general fund money to support the RSVP program. CDBG funds support elderly and disabled services with grants to SPAN’s Meal on Wheels Program and Special Abilities’ Day Care program. 9 Housing Activities: The City’s First-time Homebuyer Assistance Program will continue through 2014 with $120,000 programmed in this Action Plan. No funds were remaining from the 2013 program year to be rolled into the upcoming year. Homebuyer closings slowed significantly in PY09/10 but picked up again in the last three years assisting eleven buyers so far in PY13. Housing Rehabilitation will continue with an additional $71,693. While enough funding from prior years remains to complete several projects, fund balances were transferred to other projects and additional funding this year for two households will ensure that the program continues through the year. Land Acquisition in Support of Affordable Housing – As home prices rise, there will be reduced inventory and opportunities for low-to-moderate income families. The City will offer to buy vacant lots and offer them to housing partners to produce at least six new affordable housing units for sale to eligible homebuyers over a two year period. Activities Considered but not funded: Operation Peace of Mind applied for funds for anti-bullying and anti-crime education for youth. Despite being funded in the past from the City Fund, the Advisory Committee did not recommend funding this year. Women Starting Over was a new applicant this year requesting funds for mentoring and life skills for women who have suffered loss. Programs that had been funded in the past but did not apply included LaunchAbility, which provides early childhood intervention services and New Hope/ YOTO which recently closed its drop-in program for homeless youth. Non Housing Community Development: Under the new 2012 Consolidated Plan, the City of Lewisville continues to focus on neighborhood-based planning and 10 revitalization through funding neighborhood projects and public facilities improvements. This year’s plan includes another street improvement project in two separate eligible areas, close to but not within one of the three Targeted Reinvestment Neighborhoods. With the completion of the Milton Street project, many of the street rehab needs in the specific Targeted Reinvestment Neighborhoods have been addressed. Geographical Distribution: The City originally established a target area of East Lewisville and Central/Old Town Lewisville. These areas correspond to planning sub-areas from the Lewisville 2010 Study. (see maps) The area was expanded in 1998, south of Main Street to Bellaire Blvd. and west from Edmonds Lane to Old Orchard Lane to address an emerging area of need based on age of housing stock and demographics. However, in 2001 the City adopted a neighborhood based, revitalization strategy. Two designated Targeted Reinvestment and Improvement Neighborhoods “TRNs” were overlaid on the existing target area - College Street TRN and McKenzie/Hembry TRN (see maps). The City’s intent is to spend funds on several different CDBG activities within the TRN areas in an attempt to make visible improvements in a concentrated area. In the 2007 Consolidated Plan, the Charles/Edna TRN was added after an exhaustive review of four potential areas. It is also in Old Town and overlaps with the Old Town design district. All TRN areas have housing dating back as far as the 1920s but in general from the 1940s and 1950s. There are two medium sized apartment complexes on Main Street and College Street but the vast majority of the TRN areas are composed of small single family homes, less than 1200 square feet. The City hopes that concentrated neighborhood improvements will promote further private investment by owners and investors and ultimately result in higher property values and improved quality of life for low/moderate income residents. 11 The older general CDBG target area is made up mostly of a large contiguous section of older single family housing stock. It includes many of the census block groups in which at least 51% of the population is low/ moderate income. It also includes areas of high minority household concentration. CDBG projects may occur anywhere in the City, but must serve a low/moderate-income population. For the most part, however, the target area does not include some of the low/mod income block groups in the City where the housing is made up of apartments. Other projects as described below will be limited to the CDBG Target Area. See specific activity locations in the Listing of Proposed Projects sheets starting on page 25 and additional discussion on page 45.

Typed Name of Authorized Representative b. Title Donna Barron City Manager d. Signature of Authorized Representative c. Telephone number (Include Area Code) 972-219-3405 e. Date Signed (mm/dd/yyyy) 15 Benefit to Low and Moderate Income Persons: Of the total PY 2014 CDBG allocation, less administrative costs, 15% of funds will benefit persons who have annual incomes of less than 80% of the area median income (AMI) and are clients of public service programs (Low/Mod Clientele - LMC); 53.1% will benefit new low/mod income homeowners (LMH); 11.9% will benefit residents in a low/mod income area (LMA). A total of 100% of non-admin funds are programmed to benefit low/mod income persons. Of the $170,000 in grants made from the City’s general fund, $118,000 also supports programs benefiting low-to-moderate income clients. Lead Agency: The City of Lewisville is the lead agency for implementation of activities under the Consolidated Plan for housing and community development and the Annual Action Plan. The Economic Development and Planning Department has primary responsibility for program administration. The City will monitor sub-recipient agencies for compliance with federal, state and local requirements and to ensure performance. HOME Program Funding: The City plans to apply to the State for HOME funds for housing reconstruction to compliment the Lewisville Housing Rehabilitation Program. So far the City’s priority is to spend allocated funds on regular rehab projects, but as appropriate referrals are located, the HOME funds remain an option to perform demolition and reconstruction on homes where $30,000 of repairs would still not come close to bringing the structure up to standards. Other Agency Funding and Leveraging: Non-profit agencies receiving CDBG funds also used other resources to assist in funding their programs. In the Request for Proposals and guidelines for activity selection, the City of Lewisville requires applicants (sub-recipients) to show at least 25% matching funds for a proposed activity. 16 The Area Agency on Aging and United Way are the major source of funding for Special Program for Aging Needs (SPAN). Children’s Advocacy Center for Denton County also receives funds from the state Children’s Advocacy Centers and the federal Victims of Crime Act. Medicaid and private pay funds assist with Special Abilities’ activities. Funds from the Ryan White foundation, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Denton County are the major sources of funding for Health Services of North Texas. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) receives a grant from the federal Victim of Crime Act and Texas CASA Crime Victims Compensation grant. CCA’s most significant source of funding is from the operation of their re-sale stores. Additionally, the City of Lewisville itself funds activities carried out by local nonprofit organizations on behalf of Lewisville residents. For FY 14 - 15, the City has committed $170,000 of general fund money to social service spending. The allocation process for this money is combined with the CDBG application process under the responsibility of the CDBG Advisory Committee. A joint Request for Proposals was provided to area social service providers who could apply for CDBG funds as sub-recipients and/or for City Social Service Agency Funding (City Fund) out of the City’s general fund. This year 6 social service agencies will receive CDBG public services funding. The remainders of the agencies are funded using City Funds. Refer to the CDBG/ City Social Service Agency Fund Budget. City employees once again have the opportunity to support many of the same agencies that are funded in this Action Plan through payroll deductions and fundraisers benefiting the United Way of Denton Campaign. Other sources of funding expected to be received within the region are HUD Housing Choice Voucher Program, Section 202, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), Federal Home Loan Bank, FEMA, State funds, private lender financing, 17 private foundation funds, non-profit organizations, for-profit developers, and local contributors. Development and planning of programs eligible to receive federal funding will be approached with the concept of maximizing the extent of the federal dollar commitment with the least actual dollar commitment required to make the project feasible. Leveraging will also be accomplished through coordination of programs with non-profit and for-profit partners and volunteer work groups providing labor and assistance. Local Match Requirements: If the City acquires State Home funds, the City will consider funding projects that require local matching funds. Possible sources of local match include: City general and other local funds, City or County donated properties, Locally-funded infrastructure, Funds provided by local non-profit housing organizations, Administrative costs, program delivery costs, and actual program expenses provided by non-profit organizations as supportive programming, Funds provided by private lending institutions, Private investment and donations, and Value of volunteer labor Limitation on Funding Sources: Community Development Block Grant 15% Cap on Public Service Activities $ 88,067 20% Cap on Planning and Program Management $ 117,423 18 There is no anticipated program income, surplus urban renewal settlements, or grant funds returned to the line of credit for which the planned use has not been included in a prior statement or plan, or income from float funded activities. PROGRAM / PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Performance Management: The 2014 - 2015 Annual Action Plan identified all activities with regards to federal requirement for Community Planning and Development (CPD) Formula Grant Programs called the Outcome Performance Measurement System. This system is to be used with the Lewisville Five Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans. This new system allows HUD to collect information on the outcomes of activities funded with CPD formula grant assistance, and to aggregate that information at the national, state and local level. The Performance Measurement System has three overarching objectives: (1) Creating Suitable Living Environments, (2) Providing Decent Affordable Housing, and (3) Creating Economic Opportunities. There are also three outcomes under each objective: (1) Availability/Accessibility, (2) Affordability, and (3) Sustainability. Thus, the three objectives, each having three possible outcomes, will produce nine possible “outcome/objective statement in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) by entering data in the form of output indicators. The below chart illustrates the Outcome framework making links between Objectives, Outcomes and the 9 Outcome Statements. Based upon the intent when funding an objective, the City of Lewisville will determine under which of the three objectives to report the outcomes of their projects and activities. Once the objective is chosen, the City will choose which of the three outcome categories that best reflects what they are seeking to achieve (the results) in funding a particular activity. The Objectives, Outcomes and Outcome Statements for the City have been developed based upon the 19 adopted Five Year Consolidated Plan Fiscal Year 2012 – 2017 goals, objectives, strategies and outputs.

Two hearings were held early in the process on November 19 and December 3, 2013 at Lewisville City Hall. Nine individuals attended including residents of target areas, agency contacts and representatives of the church community. Specific comments are listed below. CDBG Advisory Committee Meetings: As recognized in the Citizen Participation Plan, the CDBG Advisory Committee represents the principle form of citizen input. As a citizen’s advisory panel, the committee’s purpose is to provide the City Council with input, oversight and recommendations. All committee meetings are open to the public and the committee participates actively in public hearings. Summary of Public Comment: Finally, a comment and review period was held July 4 – August 4, 2014 prior to adoption of this plan, giving citizens the opportunity to view the consolidated plan and provide input. Public Notices to obtain views on housing and community development needs were published on July 4, 2014 in a legal notice. All Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public including agency presentations where they considered proposals. Their July 15, 2014 meeting was open to the public and included review and consideration of this 2014 AAP. A public hearing held before the City Council is advertised for August 4, 2014. The chart that follows lists public comments received at public hearings and other comments resulting from public review of the published plan. 36 11/19/2013 CDBG Advisory Committee Public Hearing Comment Response There is a need for storm/disaster facilities within the community and/or funding to assist homeowners attain storm shelters. Staff passed the comment on to the emergency services office. HUD has recognized safe rooms for protection from tornadoes or other disasters as an eligible expense that could be considered in the CDBG affordable housing activity. Empowering America’s Future was included in the RFP and is recommended for a City Fund award. Tutoring and mentoring in math, science, and technology for youth is needed. School aged drug awareness and prevention services needed. Small business development services are needed. Housing services and support for children exiting high school who need a place to stay are needed. This is one part of the message from OPM which is not recommended for a City Fund award this year after ranking low in the RFP process. Youth and Family Counseling continues its First Offenders program. Staff explained that CDBG funds can be used for microenterprise and other economic development programs but these were not pursued under this plan. Staff acknowledged subsidized rental housing is difficult to find but Lewisville has a wide variety of multi-family housing. The City continues to fund ownership activities as a higher priority than rental housing. 12/3/2013 CDBG Advisory Committee Public Hearing Comment Response Addressing homelessness with a shelter in Lewisville and/or local churches working together to provide shelter on inclement weather days is needed. Working with the growing immigrant community is important as is ESL instruction. Staff related that there is a shelter in Denton during inclement weather supported by the homeless coalition but transportation is an issue for homeless Providing affordable activities and services for youth is important. 37 The committee thanked the commenter for the efforts described at First Presbyterian Church. Staff related that CCA and Chin Refugee Ministries conduct ESL and that translation is a barrier for services. The committee thanked the commenter for the efforts described at the Bahai Center. Staff suggested they contact Boys & Girls clubs, the PALS department and other youth providers. This year’s action plan does not fund recreational activities 7/15/2014- CDBG Advisory Committee Public Hearing Reserved for comments 8/4/2014-City Council Final Public Hearing Reserved for comments STRATEGIES FOR INVESTMENT AND OTHER ACTIONS General: The CDBG Advisory Committee reviews funding requests submitted each year that address the priority needs listed in the FY2012 - 2017 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development. Each application is reviewed by means of a checklist then prioritized by the advisory committee. A proposed budget is developed and submitted to City Council for approval. An obstacle in meeting underserved needs is a lack of funding in the City. If the additional funding needed were available, additional staff would be necessary to properly administer and manage the expanded programs. Affordable Housing: The relative priority to each category was assigned after collaboration with the CCA, Denton Affordable Housing Corp., the Denton Housing Authority, the Greater Lewisville Realtors Association and the Greater Lewisville Habitat for Humanity. The City is also using the First Time Homebuyer to meet this area of need and proposed to purchase vacant lots suitable for affordable housing and then enter an agreement with an appropriate housing non-profit to produce six new units over the next two years in an effort to expand housing stock available for low/mod income buyers. Non Housing Community Development: In the past the City of Lewisville had committed some grant funds for public facilities or infrastructure projects. With movement toward neighborhood-based planning and revitalization, the City raised the relative priority of public facilities improvements in the 2012-2017 Consolidated Plan. Barriers to Affordable Housing: 38 City staff has identified zoning restrictions, socioeconomic impediments and cost of housing as barriers to affordable housing. The City will address some of the barriers through collaboration with Christian Community Action and the Greater Lewisville Habitat for Humanity, the two organizations in the City addressing housing issues. The First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program will directly address the cost of housing barrier. Zoning restrictions and requirements of the City’s general development ordinance increase the cost of housing construction but also ensure quality, livable communities. The City will continue to address this issue through case-by-case requests for variances for Habitat for Humanity, CCA Housing and CDBG funded housing programs. Fair Housing: The City of Lewisville conducted a Fair Housing Analysis of Impediments in conjunction with the preparation of the 2012 - 2017 Consolidated Plan. The analysis provided a detailed look at the demographic data provided by the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data from 2005 through 2009. The study identified various impediments to the fair housing and recommends remedial activities to address those impediments. The process of identifying impediments to fair housing includes data analysis efforts combined with community input through focus group sessions and key person interviews. Through these methods, important impediments or barriers to fair housing choice were identified. A summary of Impediments identified in the 2012 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing and remedial actions to be undertaken by the city to lessen their impacts include the following. The recently completed Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice identified fair housing impediments related to real estate market conditions as impediments: a lack of affordability and insufficient Income; public policy related impediments: a lack of public awareness of fair housing rights and local fair housing legislation; banking, finance, insurance and other Industry related impediments: large numbers of foreclosures in the real estate market; predatory lending; and low number of loan applications and lower origination rates among minority borrowers; socio-economic 39 impediments: poverty and low-income among minority populations; and neighborhood conditions related impediments: Limited resources to assist lower income, elderly and indigent homeowners maintain their homes and stability in neighborhoods. Housing affordability, and the cost, qualifying and associated issues such as credit appeared to be the most pressing issues faced relative to acquiring housing of one’s choice. The increase in home foreclosures can be linked to predatory lending as a significant aftereffect of those lending practices. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs), interest only loans, one hundred percent loan-to-value mortgages, and other mortgage instruments that enabled large numbers of families enter into homeownership have become burdens to many as the housing bubble proved to be unsustainable. As the Community Profile points out, a number of Lewisville homeowners have lost their homes to foreclosure, many as a direct result of these lending practices. However, with this unfortunate state of the economy come opportunities for others. Relative bargains have been available to families as these foreclosed units are put back on the market. Investor purchases are common, with these homes being marketed as rental units, but where a family has been able to save enough for a down-payment and has avoided sub-prime mortgage products, some have been able to take advantage of the bursting housing bubble to find their own opportunities. Review of City practices revealed no significant policy barriers to affordable housing. These policies include land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, and tax policies. No excessive, exclusionary, discriminatory or duplicatory policies, rules or regulations were found that constitute barriers to affordability. However, in an effort to expand local resources, we also recommend that the City initiate an effort to research and consider one particular policy change, inclusionary zoning, as one alternative means of promoting balanced housing development. Inclusionary zoning has been used in other communities to ensure that some portion of new housing development is affordable. Several specific issues were identified through the Housing Market Analysis and other research conducted in preparation of this document. Some of these issues are 40 addressed in this Strategic Plan. Of major concern is the presence in Lewisville of older and some poorly maintained housing stock. As the economy has worsened, homeowners have been less able to appropriately maintain their homes. The City should continue its efforts to assist homeowners with major rehabilitation or reconstruction efforts. The need for more homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income households should be addressed. The average price of a home in Lewisville’s resale market is beyond the typical low- and moderate-income household’s ability to make payments and still remain within HUD’s definition of housing affordability. The City should continue to provide down-payment and closing cost assistance and principal reduction assistance to help these household reduce the mortgage principal and their resulting monthly housing costs. Homebuyer education provides households with better prospects of being successful homeowners. Homebuyer programs help prepare buyers for their obligations and commitments as homeowners and help them understand what is required to properly maintain their home. The City should continue its well-established partnership with HUD approved housing counseling agencies and local professionals to assist buyers through educational programs. Lead-Based Paint Hazards: Visual assessments will be conducted for all units assisted under the First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program and full inspections will be done for units in the housing rehabilitation program. Anti Poverty Strategy: The Housing and Community Development - Goals, Objectives and Strategies (Five Year Plan) and each of the sub categories revolves around a plan to improve housing, quality of life and environment while providing economic opportunity to residents of the City. This is being achieved through collaborative efforts with local agencies/organizations offering programs and services addressing poverty issues. The 41 City of Lewisville provides $170,000 in general fund money to support nonprofit agencies. PediPlace, a general fund award agency, provides health services to indigent and uninsured residents. Support in previous Annual Plans of Christian Community Action’s Crisis Center and Food Pantry, greatly expanded that agency’s anti-poverty efforts. Program staff attends United Way’s Bank On program meetings. In PY 2006 the City began assisting with coordination of tax preparation services and awareness of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program. This past year, efforts fell off due to staff priorities. However, CCA provides an annual tax preparation program including informing the public about the Earned Income Tax Credit. Staff anticipates playing a stronger role in the subsequent years in assisting CCA’s efforts and again providing information to local non-profits and City of Lewisville employees. Institutional Structure: The City works with a variety of non-profit agencies and community groups to develop and implement the projects and activities described in the Annual Action Plan. Technical assistance is offered to community and neighborhood groups interested in developing projects for future funding consideration. The Cities of Lewisville and Flower Mound host quarterly social service agency roundtables. Due to limited CDBG entitlement funding and lack of local service providers, some issues may not be addressed or may only be addressed on a limited basis. Coordination: To coordinate various assisted housing programs with other private providers, the City undertakes or will develop the following activities: Jointly facilitate the new Denton County Homeless Coalition (Continuum of Care committee) on Homelessness and Transitional Housing issues. Refer persons in need of rental assistance to the Denton Housing Authority. Provide referrals to the privately assisted housing projects in Lewisville. 42 Provide technical assistance to developers, non-profits, coalitions and neighborhood groups interested in developing housing or activities related to the CDBG program. Utilize the Neighborhood Services Dept. to make efforts, as appropriate, to bring various groups together to achieve community goals, coordinate services or encourage joint projects. Public Housing: The City of Lewisville has no Public Housing; however it has completed an agreement with the Denton Housing Authority to safeguard the number of Section 8 vouchers available for Lewisville residents. Project based Section 8 conversion to vouchers (Basswood Manor) was successfully saved for Lewisville. Also, any future vouchers created through Pre-pays or Opt-outs within Lewisville will continue to be set aside for the use of Lewisville residents. A separate waiting list has been created. This was necessary due to a previous preference for Denton residents on DHA waiting lists. The City has monitored how well this agreement has worked and noted that the Lewisville waiting list has now been activated and open vouchers have begun to flow to residents that had been on the DHA waiting list for up to five years. The City and the Denton Housing Authority now have a working framework for consultation on Section 8 and other related housing issues. Monitoring: The City will monitor progress on its proposed activities throughout the plan year. Staff will make quarterly progress reports to the CDBG Advisory Committee. Sub-recipient monitoring will follow the monitoring plan in the City’s Consolidated Plan. The City implemented a series of performance measurements to assist in sub-recipient monitoring that are now in place. Monitoring of public service sub-recipients has begun based on a risk assessment completed by staff. Agencies receiving Housing and Community Development funds will also be monitored and also undergo compliance review and technical assistance from the City. Construction projects will have periodic progress inspections from program 43 staff. These visits will be for general review and to document reimbursements while inspections for building methods and materials will be conducted by a project manager whose experience must be documented and reviewed by program staff. Regular building code compliance inspections will be documented. After completion, an onsite visit will be conducted to review the project finances and record-keeping to be used to show clientele served or other documentation needed to meet a national objective for five years (or longer if added to sub-recipient contracts for larger projects at the discretion of the City). After an initial monitoring, grant recipients will submit annual reports to show continued compliance and the City will conduct desk monitoring through the contract term. Targeting and Geographical Distribution Geographical Distribution: The City originally established a target area of East Lewisville and Central/Old Town Lewisville. These areas correspond to planning sub-areas from the Lewisville 2010 Study. The area was expanded in 1998, south of Main Street to Bellaire Blvd. and west from Edmonds Lane to Old Orchard Lane. This expanded area was included as a proactive approach to address an emerging area of need based on age and demographics. It does not exactly correspond to CDBG-eligible census tracts, but is a locally designated target area. In 2001 the City adopted a neighborhood based, revitalization strategy. Two designated Targeted Reinvestment Neighborhoods (TRNs) were overlaid on the existing target area. The Advisory Committee finalized their selection and defined boundaries of the College Street TRN and McKenzie/Hembry TRN (see maps) The City’s intent is to spend funds on several different CDBG activities within the TRN areas in an attempt to make visible improvements in a concentrated area. In the 2007 Consolidated Plan, the Charles/Edna TRN was designated after an exhaustive review of four potential areas. It is also in Old Town. It overlaps with the Old Town design district. It has housing dating back as far as the 1920s but in general from the 1940s and 1950s. Most single family 44 homes are small, less than 1200 square feet. There is one medium sized apartment complex on Main Street and one very small complex on Milton included in the TRN. The City hopes that concentrated neighborhood improvements will promote further private investment by owners and investors and ultimately result in higher property values and improved quality of life for low/moderate income residents. The older general CDBG target area is made up of a large contiguous section of older single family housing stock. It includes many of the census block groups in which at least 51% of the population is low/ moderate income. It also includes areas of high minority household concentration. CDBG projects may occur anywhere in the City, but must serve a low/moderate-income population. For the most part, however, the target area does not include some of the low/mod income block groups in the City where the housing is made up of apartments. Other projects as described below will be limited to the CDBG Target Area. Activity Locations: (also see the Listing of Proposed Projects sheets) The activities and programs described in the Annual Action Plan are aligned with the Strategic Plan, as outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Note, census tract and block group boundaries changed in 2010 but new census data is not yet available from HUD using the new boundaries. Maps used for project selection are still identical to those from 2007 using data at http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/systems/census/lowmod/. The First-time Homebuyer Assistance Program will not be restricted to the target areas. However, incentives have been written into program guidelines to provide an extra $1,500 for buyers in TRN neighborhoods. The City hopes this will add value and encourage private investment in its neighborhood revitalization areas. The Holford’s Prairie Street Rehabilitation project is in far East Lewisville and falls within the general target area but is not in a TRN neighborhood. The City Public Works Dept. proposed this area based on the physical needs of the streets. It was selected with low/moderate income residents in mind most of whom live in trailer home parks. 45 Established TRNs 46 General Target Area with TRNs 47 Area Median Income Percentages in BG above Quartile Exception Census Block Groups that meet Low/Mod Income Eligibility in Lewisville CDBG Eligible Block Groups 48 OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Efforts to Foster Decent Housing The City of Lewisville, through the implementation of the 2012 - 2017 Consolidated Plan and the 2013 – 2014 Annual Plan, will continue its efforts to foster decent housing for residents. Specifically, the City will: Continue to enforce building and housing codes that set forth the standards for all affordable housing programs administered and/or supported by the City Continue to provide educational opportunities and training for its staff administering affordable housing programs that provide housing meeting building and housing codes Continue to facilitate and fund the efforts of other entities and non-profit organizations providing affordable and standard housing Continue to enforce the Construction Specifications adopted by the City that specifies the quality of materials and acceptable workmanship standards to be utilized on all CDBG and HOME funded projects Continue to make available technical assistance and funding in support of other projects and activities that remove health and safety hazards Continue to make available technical assistance and funding in support of public facility and infrastructure improvements in low income neighborhoods in order to encourage the sustainability, redevelopment and new development of affordable and decent housing opportunities and to improve the overall quality of life for low income residents 49 CDBG Program Specific Requirements Lewisville’s CDBG entitlement funds are earmarked to continue to provide effective programming, monitoring, and management of activities meeting the CDBG national objectives: (1) benefiting low to moderate-income individuals; (2) eliminating slum and blight; and (3) addressing urgent needs. The City utilized a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit project for the upcoming fiscal year. Awards will be based on evaluation and ranking of individual project proposals. The City reserves the right to negotiate the final grant amounts and local match. Priority will be given to projects located in any designated target area. An applicant may be disqualified from receiving an award if prior expenditures, audits, or monitoring reports indicate an inability to utilize program assistance on a timely or effective basis. Additional projects may be considered and determined based upon additional funding being acquired and fulfilling the objectives outlined in the Consolidated Strategy Plan. The goal for 2014 - 2015 is to improve the quality of life for low to moderate-income individuals and families by addressing specific problem areas, such as affordable housing, non housing community development including infrastructure, public improvements, homelessness, and community services. The proposed CDBG entitlement budget for 2014 - 2015 is $587,116. Funds will be used for, but not limited to, public improvements, community services, housing services, housing restoration/rehabilitation, housing staff costs, public services, and administrative costs. There have been no funds returned to the line-of-credit from which the planned use has not been included in a prior statement or plan. There was no income generated by a float-funded activity. 50 Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan - The City of Lewisville, through a coordinated effort with other organizations, is committed to the goals of affirmative marketing and fair housing. The following steps will be taken: Inform the public, potential tenants, and owners about federal fair housing laws and affirmative marketing policies; Place news releases in the Neighbors Go section of the Denton Record Chronicle announcing any planned entitlement grant and fair housing public hearings and events; Produce and utilize print and electronic media advertisements and public service announcements to spread public information on fair housing; Conduct fair housing outreach and education activities for the public; Conduct a study to determine Impediments to Fair Housing every 5 years and updates annually; Support City Finance Department in its procurement policies directed toward encouraging MBEs and WBEs participation in the bid process; Utilized regional certified Disadvantaged Women and Minority Business Enterprises (W/M/DBEs), as required by federal funding sources and other local and regional entities; Report W/M/DBE participation to federal funding agencies for and through City Departments; Strengthen ties with the City’s economic development initiatives as well as other local and regional economic development entities.

Community Development Plan -- Its consolidated housing and community development plan identifies community development and housing needs and specifies both shortterm and long-term community development objectives that provide decent housing, expand economic opportunities primarily for persons of low and moderate income. (See CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570) Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan (or Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy) that has been approved by HUD. Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria: 1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other financial resources are not available); 2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108 guaranteed loans during program year(s) 2014 (a period specified by the grantee consisting of one, two, or three specific consecutive program years), shall 56 principally benefit persons of low and moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit such persons during the designated period; 3.

However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or assessment attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income (not low-income) families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds to cover the assessment.

The City is soliciting input from residents. Comments received during this period will be considered before final approval at a public hearing to be held before the City Council on Monday, August 4, 2014 at Old Town City Hall, 151 W. Church St. 2014 Action Plan Summary The City of Lewisville will receive $587,116 in CDBG funding and will add an estimated $170,000 in City Social Service Agency funding. The total Grants Budget is $757,116. (Social Services: $258,000, Housing and Community Development Projects: $381,693, and Administration: $117,423). Social Services distribution: Children’s Advocacy Center $25,000, Christian Community Action $25,000, Health Services of N. Texas $4,000, PediPlace $55,000, Communities in Schools $31,500, CASA $14,000, Friends of the Family $18,000, RSVP $10,500, SPAN Inc. $22,000, Special Abilities of N. Texas $5,000, Youth & Family Counseling $41,500, Empowering America’s Future $4,500, and Camp Summit $2,000. Social services considered but not funded: Operation Peace of Mind and Women Starting Over. CDBG funds will also be spent on the following Housing and Community Development Projects: $120,000 for the First-time Homebuyer Assistance Program; $71,693 for the Housing Rehabilitation Program; $70,000 on Street Rehab on Morningside Ave, Poydras St., and Decker Ln.; and $120,000 for Land Acquisition in support of affordable housing. 2013 Action Plan Amendments Also being considered at the Public Hearing on August 4 will be an amendment to the 2013 Action Plan to reduce the scope of the Holford’s Prairie Street Rehab Project. A section of Holford’s Prairie from Midway Rd. to the Corporate Drive extension will be dropped from the project as it is likely to be improved at a later date using other funding sources. This would also exclude Oak Tree Ln. which is north of the new project area, lies in a flood plain area which would have different environmental review criteria and is currently in better condition than the remaining portion of the project.
