Overview and discussion regarding the creation of an In -City Municipal Utility District (MUD) for the proposed Berry Creek Highlands Development — Wayne Reed, Assistant City Manager Wayne Reed, Assistant City Manager, spoke on a possible In -City MUD for the Berry Creek Highlands Development. Reed provided handouts to the Council on the Evaluation of Compliance with Interim MUD Policy and a map of the Berry Creek Highlands Development. He provided an 11 x 17 image of the Developers Concept Plan. Reed explained that these were provided for easier viewing for the Council, but are also included in the agenda packet. He said he will be seeking Council direction for the development. Reed introduced the applicant Pete Dwyer, representing Avanti Strategic Land Investors VIII, LLLC (Avanti). Reed described the purpose of the presentation and said that staff is seeking Council feedback and direction on a request to create a new In -City Municipal Utility District (MUD) and would be asking the following: • Is the use of an In -City MUD suitable in the proposed location? • If there is a desire to proceed with the proposed In -City MUD, are there specific elements or focus areas the Council would like staff to negotiate? Reed provided a location map, a Concept Plan Map, a Future Land Use Plan map, and a map of the Berry Creek Wastewater Interceptor. He described the location as south of 195 and west of Shell Road. Reed said this is presently not in city limits, but annexation has been requested. He said the proposed use would be predominantly mixed use. Reed said the proposed property includes 2.5 acres set aside for a fire station and an elementary school site for the Jarrell ISD. He explained that if this is not utilized, it would be developed as residential. Reed provided a map of the Georgetown MUDs 2004-2017. He explained that there are 10 approved MUDs and staff is working on 4 applicants interested in forming new special districts — Bluffview, PID, Shell Road PID, Homestead PID and the Avanti MUD. He said that one applicant is interested in a significant expansion of an existing MUD. ■ Teravista — 2004 - ETJ • Water Oak — 2006 — ETJ mostly ■ Oaks at San Gabriel — 2007 — ETJ • Cimarron Hills — 2012 — ETJ • Crescent Bluff — 2014 — ETJ • Hillwood — 2014 — In -City • Parmer Ranch — 2015 — Out of city ■ Saddlecreek — 2015 — In -City • Kasper — 2015 — In -City • Shadow Canyon — 2016 — In -City Reed spoke on an Interim MUD Policy Evaluation.

Reed said that Pete Dwyer could address this as it would be a developer issue. Dwyer said the developer has submitted a market study and has highlighted the price range of the proposed housing. Dwyer said there is a crisis of affordability in Central Texas and this will be part of the consideration in this development. Reed read from the policy. Jonrowe asked about the difference of addressing home ownership compared to rental properties. She said this limits the scope. City Manager, David Morgan, said a prior workshop on MUD policy addressed this and staff will be coming back the Council with more information about this. Reed noted the benefits of Parkland and Trails and fully funded construction of Shell Spur Road by the developer. He explained that the Intersection of 195 and Shell Spur will also be fully funded by the developer. Proposed Finance Terms were provided. • Bonds to be issued (Maximum amount) - $30,150,000 • Bond Maturity (Maximum) — 25 years from date of issue • Bond Issuance Period (from first to last) — 10 years ■ District Only Tax Rate (Maximum) - $0.55/$100 AV • City Tax Rate (FYI 8) - $0.4200 • Total Maximum Tax Rate, City and District (based upon FY18) - $0.97 Reed reviewed the Council Feedback and Direction being sought: • Is the use of on In -City MUD suitable in the proposed location? • If there is a desire to proceed with the proposed In -City MUD, are there specific elements of focus areas the Council would like staff to negotiate? Councilmember Fought said this was a good presentation and asked about connectivity to Sun City. He said he would want this considered. He said he is pleased with all, but would like to look at a bigger map and be able to discuss this. Fought said, fundamentally, it looks very good. Mayor Ross asked if there is a sense of urgency with this project. Reed said today's workshop is just to get Council feedback. Ross asked if any Councilmembers felt this was inappropriate for the area. No one did. Councilmember Hesser asked about the workforce housing. He said he would like to see specific distribution of the price ranges, rather than an average. He said he would like to know how many homes are added at each economic level. Hesser said, other than wanting this information, he thinks the proposal is a well done In -City MUD. Pete Dwyer, the representative for the Developer said this information is shown in the market study. He said that 57% of the proposed pricing will be from $230,000 to $280,000 and 43% will be from $260,000 to $310,000. Councilmember Gonzalez asked about the 2 areas on 195, and why this is proposed as residential instead of commercial. Dwyer said this is because TXDOT wanted a 90% intersection and that is why it was needed to be set up in this way. He explained that a reasonable amount of commercial and residential will be good planning tax wise. Gonzalez said all of this is short term and the City needs to also look at the long term impact of land that will no longer be available. Reed said he will bring back a MUD Agreement to the Council in the future. B. Overview presentation and discussion of the City's Debt Program -- Laurie Brewer, Assistant City Manager Assistant City Manager, Laurie Brewer provided a presentation on the City's Debt Program. She said the presentation would mostly be a refresher, with a few new things that have become clear recently. Brewer noted that the plan has been refined just slightly. Brewer described Debt Planning • Budget development includes capital plan and debt plan • 2018 Budget include proposed debt with tax estimated tax impacts (for the following year) o Refine 2018 debt plan as project timing and costs are updated She then described Debt Policies • Provide debt update annually • Balance needs of the City between pay as you go and debt financing o Stability of tax rate ■ Explore all funding options for a capital item • Finance a capital item over its useful life • Method of sale — competitive Brewer spoke on the Types of Debt • General Obligation Bonds o Used for large project o Approved by the voters o Repaid with property taxes over long terms Certificates of Obligation o Used for required or routine items o Public notice required o Repaid with property taxes or other revenue o Term over the life of the asset • Revenue Bonds o Used for large electric and water projects o Repaid with utility revenue over the life of the asset Brewer explained that a bond rating is an independent review of the City's management and financial condition to determine credit worthiness. She noted that the rating impacts interest rate. Brewer said that the City's Standard & Poor's 2017 Rating was AA+ for General Obligation Bonds and AA for Revenue Bonds. She said these excellent scores reflect the City's strong economy in the region, excellent financial management and cash reserves for both the general fund and the utilities. Brewer provided a slide depicting the Current Tax Rate and described the Debt Coverage Ratio. i4ar-•. ,,".r'- f — � Ill A— A- _ Current Tax Rate • Total 42 cents per $100 assessed valuation — Interest & Sinking 22.7 cents — Operations & Maintenance 19.3 cents • Contract with the voters — 2015 Transportation Bond • No increase more than 10 cents total No increase more than 2 cents in one year City has decreased tax rates — FY18/0.42--FY17/0.424--FY16/0.434 Debt Coverage Ratio • For revenue bonds Combined water and electric • Number of times net operating revenue can cover debt service — Bond covenants 1.35x — Fiscal and Budgetary Policy 1.5x — 2018 coverage is 1.95x Brewer showed the Current Tax Obligations with a Pie Chart and spoke on current obligations and debt history. She explained that, under tax supported debt, City facilities and public safety make up the bulk, then street projects and park and recreation projects. Brewer explained that tax supported debt has increased over the last 5 years. She noted that the significant increase is due to debt issues for the Southwest Bypass, Garey Park and San Gabriel Park Renovations. She said the numbers will be updated in future presentations. �� ,�r�-r�rrrl•w+�,; Current Tax Obligations ParhAtec i fadlities 12% r c rC7 a1 6over rI FT O'. 1 Lo Supportr-d ix•b' %I Q W Councilmember Gonzalez asked, of the $132 Million in already issued bonds, how much has been approved but not yet been issued. Brewer said she does have those numbers but not in this presentation. She said she will be happy to provide the numbers to the Council. Gonzalez asked that the numbers be provided so that the Council can look at a full picture. He said he would also like a list of the outstanding bonds that have not been diffused, but most likely will never be issued. Mayor Ross said this will be taken up during the budget process. 5 Year Tax Supported Debt Brewer provided a chart of the Current Enterprise Obligations next. She explained that enterprise debt includes debt from revenue bonds and from self-supporting CO's. Brewer said that the revenue obligations are primarily water and wastewater projects, such as treatment plants, towers and underground pipes. She noted that electric is about 1/3 and there is a small portion for stormwater and irrigation. �Awff,t:LH 7 .v ( II l I Ki, 1 I()1%N Current Enterprise Obligations wastewater 32% Enterprise Debt $lob 6M wakI "Pow 1% Stumtwatm Utainago Brewer spoke on the 5 Year Enterprise Debt, including Self -Supported Debt, Debt per Capita, Debt Per Customer, Historic Asset Net of Debt and the Five Year CIP.

How the Model Works Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 im Existing Debt -= New Debt Revenue Diaz explained that expenditure and revenue projections can be seen and the model calculates how many cents would need to be increased in taxes to close up the gap. Diaz provided a forecast with two Scenarios. He explained that Scenario 1 is conservative but realistic. He noted that there would be little to no impact on the tax rate if the growth stays the same. Scenario 2 shows less growth in the out years. Forecast Scenario #1 • Assessed Value in FY2019 will total near $7.8 billion and wig exceed $9.1 billion around FY2022. • Property tax revenue is projected to total $28.8 million, of which approximately 514.6 million will be needed to cover debt service. • Strong growth in AV will allow the City to issue more debt with little to no impact on the tax rate in FY2019. Scenario #2 • Assessed Value in FY2019 will total near $7.8 billion and will exceed $8.9 billion around FY2022. • Property tax revenue is projected to total approximately 1.6 M less by 2020 than in Scenario #1. Diaz provided the Tax Rate Projected Impact in Cents. IIUht;1111%, Tax Rate Projected Impacts — In cents Scenario #1 FY2019 42.00 0.23 4223 fY2020 42.23 1.23 43.46 FY2021 43.46 0.69 44.15 FY2022 4415 130 45,45 Scenario #2 FY2019 4200 1.00 43.00 FY2020 43.00 1.93 44.93 FY2021 44,93 1.34 46,27 FY2022 46.27 1.98 48.25 Mayor Ross asked about the new state laws. Diaz said this has been shown with the current state laws. Councilmember Gonzalez said this indicates the need to be more efficient in paying off the debt and keeping pace with a fast growing tax rate. Diaz said this is evaluated throughout the budget project. Diaz explained that every penny of tax rate = $450,000 of debt service. Ross said construction costs are not going to get any cheaper. He said the City cannot delay when there is a need for infrastructure. Councilmember Hesser said he would also like to look at this in reference. He said one must ask what would have to be done, in spending, to keep the same tax rate. City Manager, David Morgan, said this will be proposed through the budgeting process and Council will be shown the differences. Hesser said it is crucial to look at it from both directions. Brewer said the City can feel good about maintaining its contract with the voters. She spoke on the 2017 Refunding and Early Defeasance in December 2017. She noted that the details to follow do not include the numbers from the refunding and defeasance that happened in December, which saved the City $1.3 million dollars. Brewer provided the Takeaways. ■ City debt has increased over the past decade • Correlates to population growth and voter approved projects to improve services and quality of life • Excellent credit ratings • Economic conditions and fiscal management ensure ability to pay debt ■ Current debt estimated to impact FY19 at .23 cents ■ Current economic forecast and CIP plan shows drives need for increased rate of 3.4 cents to 6.2 cents over the next four years with continued growth The Next Steps were discussed. • February 27 Council Agenda o Authorize Financial Advisors to proceed with bond sale schedule and documents o Approve Notice of Intent to issue Certificates of Obligation ■ March 2018 o Offering Statements reviewed by staff o Staff meet with the bond rating agency • April 24 Council Meeting o Approve results of competitive sale • May 17 Closing and receive proceeds Mayor Ross asked if anyone disagrees. All Councilmembers agreed. C.
