• Red River Construction Company was the apparent low responsive bidder for the project
with a Total Base Bid Price of $9,764,300.00.
• Red River Construction Company completed the required bid forms and provided references,
resumes, and additional information required.
• Carollo Engineers checked the additional references provided by Red River Construction
Company and found no objection to Red River Construction Company or the proposed

Consideration of adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
license agreement with Leica Geosystems, Inc. (“Leica”) pursuant to which City,

Network License
Summary: This is in reference to a Contract for GPS hosting/network services with
SmartNet. For the future survey needs of the City, this will be a beneficial tool to
expand the Global Positioning System (GPS) that we use. At this time we have
our own system mounted to City Hall, but the range of this existing station is
limited. By granting Leica the rights to host a GPS base station on City Hall, this
networked coverage will allow our survey functions to expand, much like having
better coverage with a cell phone company, allows its users to connect to their
service from more locations. This will also free up our existing GPS base station
to allow us more mobility for other survey projects.

By allowing Leica to host this unit at City Hall, the City of San Angelo will be given

This in turn will allow the Water, Survey and GIS departments to function more
efficiently, and extend the current range of data collection. This will also afford the
City an extra base unit to be used on long distance projects such as the Hickory
Aquifer Project. Along with being beneficial to the city, the community will also be
able to subscribe to this network through Leica for future survey needs.

Leica SmartNet Summary
(GPS) Global Positioning System is what most surveyors use for topographic work and GIS
mapping grade surveys. In short, it is a collection of satellites that triangulate a known
position on the surface of the earth. To communicate with these satellites, a receiver, an
antenna, and CPU device are needed to collect this data.
This installation will consist of mounting the receiver (a unit the size of a DVD player) in the
catwalk of the theater of City Hall (where the existing unit is currently), and the attachment
of an antenna to the top of City Hall on the upper roof (where the existing antenna is
currently mounted).
Leica will be responsible for maintaining this equipment; all the City will be responsible for
is an electrical outlet to plug the unit into, and granting access to our current IT network. This
has been discussed with our IT group and they have no foreseeable issue with this being on
the network because of its lack of accessibility from outside sources (i.e. computer hackers –
it’s considered a dummy box).
Benefit to the City as a whole is great. Leica will give one free license for use of this
network, with which our current Trimble Inc. survey equipment will communicate with. It
will also allow local businesses and citizens the opportunity to pay a monthly fee to Leica
and have use of this service. This will ultimately give our Survey; Water and GIS
departments more range to incorporate the daily tasks of data collection. For example:
Location of water meters, sewer lines, etc.
Roadway surveys, Project design data collection
Mapping features needed to update the GIS maps
The existing base station is only a radio link system that is not connected to a wide network,
which in turn limits its long range ability and accuracy. This means that multiple base
stations are connected together all around Texas, much like Cellular Towers are
interconnected. This existing base station will remain in place, since the City owns it.

City of San Angelo
Fund Balance Policy
Revised for GASB 54
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish a key element of the financial stability of the City by setting
guidelines for fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is
essential that the City maintain adequate levels of unassigned fund balance to mitigate financial risk that
can occur from unforeseen revenue fluctuations, unanticipated expenditures, and similar circumstances.
The fund balance also provides cash flow liquidity for the City’s general operations.
Definitions
Fund Equity – A fund’s equity is generally the difference between its assets and its liabilities.
Fund Balance – An accounting distinction is made between the portions of fund equity that are spendable
and nonspendable. These are broken up into five categories:
1) Nonspendable fund balance – includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required
to be maintained intact. Examples are inventory or permanent funds.
2) Restricted fund balance – includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers either constitutionally or through enabling legislation.
Examples include grants and child safety fees.
3) Committed fund balance – includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority.
Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the government taking the same formal action
that imposed the constraint originally.
4) Assigned fund balance – comprises amounts intended to be used by the government for specific
purposes. Intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the
governing body delegates the authority. In governmental funds other than the general fund,
assigned fund balance represents the amount that is not restricted or committed. This indicates
that resources in other governmental funds are, at a minimum, intended to be used for the purpose
of that fund.
5) Unassigned fund balance – is the residual classification of the general fund and includes all
amounts not contained in other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for
any purpose.

Policy
Committed Fund Balance
- The City Council is the City’s highest level of decision-making authority and the formal action
that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a
resolution approved by the Council at the City’s Council meeting. The resolution must either be
approved or rescinded, as applicable, prior to the last day of the fiscal year for which the
commitment is made. The amount subject to the constraint may be determined in the subsequent
period.
Assigned Fund Balance
- The City Council has retained the responsibility to assign funds.
Minimum Unassigned Fund Balance
It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an unassigned fund balance in the general fund equal to
seventy-five days of the following year’s expenditures.
Order of Expenditure of Funds
When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure (for example, a construction
project is being funded partly by a grant, funds set aside by the City Council, and unassigned fund
balance), the City will start with the most restricted category and spend those funds first before moving
down to the next category with available funds.
Stabilization (or “Rainy Day”) Fund
If the City has this type of fund, the City will describe in specific detail the resources committed and the
circumstances that define the use of the funds. If the City does not have a more specific policy, the fund
will be reported as part of the general fund as committed. The amount will be committed as an action of
the City Council as specified above.

TEXAS (“CITY”) AUTHORIZING THE ADOPTION OF GOVERNMENTAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STATEMENT NO. 54 (GASB 54), BY
ADOPTING A FUND BALANCE POLICY, COMMITTING UNCLASSIFIED
REVENUES FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
WHEREAS, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board adopted Statement No. 54

fund type definitions that became effective in governmental fiscal years starting after June 15, 2010,
and;
WHEREAS, the City of San Angelo, Texas has implemented GASB 54 requirements as of
September 30, 2010 and now wishes to formally adopt these requirements, and a fund balance
policy, and to continue to apply such requirements to its financial statements, and;
WHEREAS, prior to GASB 54, ending fund balances were specified as reserved,
designated, or unreserved, and;
WHEREAS, GASB 54 requires classification of the ending fund balances into five
categories: non-spendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned, and;
WHEREAS, GASB 54 requires that a policy for use of financial resources be developed and
adopted, and;
WHEREAS, as resources are received, it may be necessary to assign unclassified
revenues to specific purposes when appropriate.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN ANGELO THAT:
SECTION 1. Recognizing that fund balance measures the net financial resources available
to finance expenditures of future periods, it is ordered and directed that the City of San Angelo,
Texas to formally adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 (GASB 54). To
comply with this provision, the following policies will be adopted:
• The City shall report governmental fund balances per GASB 54 definitions in the
balance sheet as follows:
o Non-spendable - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent
because they: (a) are not in spendable form (e.g. inventories and prepaid items); (b)
are not expected to be converted into cash within the current period or at all (e.g.,
long-term receivables); or (c) are legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact (e.g., the non-spendable corpus of an endowment).
o Restricted - This classification includes amounts subject to usage constraints that
have either been: (a) externally imposed by creditors (e.g., through a debt
covenant), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b)
imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
o Committed - This classification includes amounts that are constrained to use for
specific purposes pursuant to formal action of the City Council. These amounts

cannot be used for other purposes unless the Council removes or changes the
constraints via the same type of action used to initially commit them.
o Assigned - This classification includes amounts intended by the City for use for a
specific purpose but which do not qualify for classification as either restricted or
committed. The intent can be expressed by City Council or by a Council designee.
This classification applies to the positive unrestricted and uncommitted fund
balances of all governmental funds except the General Fund.
o Unassigned - This classification applies to the residual fund balance of the General
Fund and to any deficit fund balances of other governmental funds.
• The City Council shall approve all commitments by formal action. The action to commit
funds must occur prior to fiscal year-end, to report such commitments in the balance
sheet of the respective period, even though the amount may be determined subsequent
to fiscal year-end. A commitment can only be modified or removed by the same formal
action.
• When it is appropriate for fund balances to be assigned, the City Council retains the
responsibility to assign funds. Assignments may occur subsequent to fiscal year-end.
• The City Council will utilize funds in the following spending order:
o Restricted
o Committed
o Assigned
o Unassigned

Consideration of adopting an updated Fund Balance Policy and Resolution
Summary: GASB 54 was issued in February 2009 and was required to be implemented for
financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2010. Per the GASB, the objective of
the Statement is to enhance the usefulness of fund balance information by providing clearer fund
balance classifications that can be more consistently applied and by clarifying the existing
governmental fund type definitions. The Statement establishes fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe
constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. This item
has been placed on the consent agenda, but please feel free to call with any questions.
History: Although the City’s financial statements have been prepared and presented as required
by GASB 54, the policy and resolution have not yet been formally adopted.
Financial Impact: N/A
Related Vision Item (if applicable): None
Other Information/Recommendation: Staff recommends that the policy and resolution be

FUND BALANCE
N E W A N D I M P R O V E D

April 2009 | Government Finance Review 11
T
here is probably no single item in a typical state or
local government’s financial statements that attracts
more attention than fund balance. In February 2009,
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
issued GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions.This latest GASB standard
will not affect the calculation of fund balance,but will funda-
mentally alter the various components used to report it.
BACKGROUND
Accountants use the term fund balance to describe the
arithmetic difference between the assets and liabilities
reported in a governmental fund (e.g., general fund). The
categories that have been used until now to present fund bal-
ance have focused on whether resources were available for
appropriation (i.e., budgeting). Thus, the traditional presenta-
tion of fund balance distinguished unreserved fund balance
(i.e., available for appropriation) from reserved fund balance
(i.e.,not available for appropriation).
Fund balance might not be available for
appropriation (i.e., reserved) for a variety
of reasons. Some resources of a govern-
mental fund, by their very nature, cannot
be spent (e.g.,prepaid rent and inventories
of supplies). Other resources may convert
to spendable form only at a much later
date (e.g., the long-term portion of notes
receivable). Still other resources may be
available for spending,but their use is externally restricted to
a purpose narrower than the purpose of the fund in which
they are reported.
In addition, governing bodies themselves frequently place
their own limitations on how they will use resources other-
wise available for appropriation (e.g.,“earmarking”).Likewise,
a government’s management may have tentative plans for all
or a portion of those resources. In either case, a government
traditionally has had the option of indicating these tentative
managerial plans and self-imposed limitations by presenting
a portion of unreserved fund balance as designated.
This traditional approach to classifying fund balance is
summarized in Exhibit 1.
Three considerations led the GASB to undertake its recent
reexamination of the components used to report fund balance.
First, the traditional terminology was not self-explanatory
and has frequently led to misunderstandings.Second,govern-
ments often have applied the different categories inconsis-
tently in practice. Finally, some have questioned whether the
historic focus on availability for appropriation best serves the
needs of financial statement users.
NEW GUIDANCE
Focus. GASB Statement No. 54 will shift the focus of fund
balance reporting from the availability of fund resources for
budgeting to“the extent to which the government is bound to
honor constraints on the specific purposes for which
amounts in the fund can be spent.”1
Components of fund balance. GASB Statement No. 54
establishes five components of fund balance. Because
circumstances differ among governments, not every
government or every governmental fund will report all of
those components.
Constraints on how amounts can be
spent are not really an issue for resources
that are inherently nonspendable.Examples
include inventories and prepaids;the long-
term portion of loans receivable2
;and non-
financial assets held for resale.3
Still other
resources cannot be spent because legal
or contractual provisions require that they
be maintained intact (e.g., the principal of
an endowment). GASB Statement No. 54
directs that the portion of fund balance reflecting both be
labeled nonspendable fund balance.
Not all limitations on how resources may be used have the
same force. Some limitations are externally enforceable and
lie beyond the power of the government to change unilat-
erally (e.g.,restrictions imposed by a grant contract or a bond
covenant). Other limitations are self-imposed, but would
require formal action at the highest level of the government to
remove (e.g.,resources legally“earmarked”for a given project
by the governing body).Still other limitations are less binding
and function more as a declaration of intent.GASB Statement
No.54 has created a separate category to accommodate each
of these situations.
■ Restricted fund balance. The term restricted fund balance
will encompass net fund resources subject to externally
enforceable legal restrictions.It is no accident that the
term restricted fund balance so closely resembles the term
There is probably no single
item in a typical state or local
government’s financial state-
ments that attracts more
attention than fund balance.

12 Government Finance Review | April 2009
restricted net assets used in the context of government-
wide financial reporting.In both cases,the restrictions con-
cerned would be either 1) externally imposed by credi-
tors (such as through debt covenants),grantors,contribu-
tors,or laws or regulations of other governments,or 2)
imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.4
Note that there is no need for the
limitation to be narrower than the purpose of the fund.5
■ Committed fund balance. The term committed fund bal-
ance will be used to describe the portion of fund balance
that represents resources whose use is constrained by lim-
itations that the government imposes upon itself at its
highest level of decision making (normally the governing
body) and that remain binding unless removed in the
same manner.The underlying action that imposed the lim-
itation would need to occur no later than the close of the
reporting period.Note,once again,that there is no require-
ment that the limitation be narrower than the purpose of
the fund.6
■ Assigned fund balance. The assigned fund balance cate-
gory will cover the portion of fund balance that reflects a
government’s intended use of resources.Such intent would
have to be established at either the highest level of deci-
sion making,or by a body (e.g.,finance committee) or an
official designated for that purpose.7
Logically speaking,a
government cannot assign resources that it does not have;
therefore,the amount reported as assigned fund balance
could never exceed total fund balance less its nonspend-
able,restricted,and committed components.Once again,
note that there is no requirement that the limitation be
narrower than the purpose of the fund.
Of course,the general fund,as the principal operating fund
of a government,may have net resources in excess of what is
properly categorized in one of the four categories just already
described.If so,the surplus will be presented as unassigned
fund balance. A positive amount of unassigned fund bal-
ance,however,will never be reported in a governmental fund
other than the general fund, because GASB Statement No. 54
prohibits reporting resources in another fund unless they are
at least assigned to the purpose of that fund. All the same,
funds other than the general fund could report a negative
amount of unassigned fund balance should the total of
nonspendable fund balance, restricted fund balance, and
committed fund balance exceed the total net resources of
the fund.
The new components of fund balance are summarized in
Exhibit 2.
Stabilization arrangements. Governments often establish
“rainy day funds”or“contingency funds”to provide a financial
cushion against unanticipated adverse financial or economic
circumstances. The appropriate classification of such
resources within fund balance depends on the specific
nature of the arrangement.
On the one hand, if the use of the resources is limited in a
way that is legally enforceable by an outside party, classifica-
tion as restricted fund balance would be appropriate.On the
other hand,if the limitation was imposed by the highest level
of decision making and can only be removed by formal
action equivalent to the action taken to impose it, the use of
the committed fund balance classification would be appro-
priate.It would never be appropriate,however,to classify such
resources as assigned fund balance.
Exhibit 1:Traditional Components
of Fund Balance
(Focus on Availability for Appropriation)
■ Reserved fund balance (not available for appropriation)
• Portion of net resources that cannot ever be spent
because of their form
• Portion of net resources that cannot yet be spent
• Portion of net resources that cannot be spent for any and
all fund-related purposes because of external limitations
■ Unreserved fund balance (available for appropriation)
• Designated unreserved fund balance (available for
appropriation, with a limitation on use imposed by
the government itself)
■ Portion of net resources subject to limitations
imposed by the governing body
■ Portion of net resources set aside by management
in connection with its tentative plans
• Undesignated unreserved fund balance (available for
appropriation, with no external or internal limitation)

GASB Statement No.54,paragraph 20,places serious limits on
what qualifies as a stabilization arrangement for this purpose:
The formal action that imposes the parameters for
spending should identify and describe the specific cir-
cumstances under which a need for stabilization arises.
Those circumstances should be such that they would not
be expected to occur routinely. For example, a stabiliza-
tion amount that can be accessed “in an emergency”
would not qualify to be classified within the committed
category because the circumstances or conditions that
constitute an emergency are not sufficiently detailed,and
it is not unlikely that an “emergency” of some nature
would routinely occur. Similarly, a stabilization amount
that can be accessed to offset an “anticipated revenue
shortfall”would not qualify unless the shortfall was quan-
tified and was of a magnitude that would distinguish it
from other revenue shortfalls that occur during the nor-
mal course of governmental operations.
Appropriated fund balance. Not infrequently, govern-
ments balance their budget by appropriating a portion of
existing fund balance to bridge the gap between appropria-
tions and estimated revenues. The portion of fund balance
thus appropriated for the following year would properly be
classified as assigned fund balance.
Flow assumptions. Frequently resources for a single proj-
ect will come from multiple sources. For example, a city may
elect to finance a new bridge partially from restricted grant
proceeds (restricted fund balance), partially from earmarked
revenues (committed fund balance), and partially from other
available resources expressly set aside for the purpose
(assigned fund balance).In that case,flow assumptions would
be needed:
■ When both restricted resources and other resources are
to be used,how are outlays allocated to each (e.g.,
restricted resources presumed to be spent first? Spending
presumed to occur on a pro rata basis?)?
■ When committed,assigned,and unassigned resources are
to be used,how are outlays allocated among the various
categories?
COMPARISON OF OLD AND NEW
Perhaps the best way to gain an understanding of the new
fund balance categories is to contrast how certain specific
items are reported today with how those same items will be
reported in the future under GASB Statement No.54.
April 2009 | Government Finance Review 13
Exhibit 2: New Components of Fund Balance —
GASB Statement No. 54
(Focus on Extent to which Government Is Bound to Honor
Constraints on the Specific Purposes forWhich Amounts
Can Be Spent)
■ Nonspendable fund balance (inherently nonspendable)
• Portion of net resources that cannot be spent because
of their form
• Portion of net resources that cannot be spent because
they must be maintained intact
■ Restricted fund balance
(externally enforceable limitations on use)
• Limitations imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
or laws and regulations of other governments
• Limitations imposed by law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation
■ Committed fund balance (self-imposed limitations set
in place prior to the end of the period)
• Limitation imposed at highest level of decision making
that requires formal action at the same level to remove
■ Assigned fund balance (limitation resulting from intended use)
• Intended use established by highest level of decision making
• Intended use established by body designated for that purpose
• Intended use established by official designated for that
purpose
■ Unassigned fund balance (residual net resources)
•Total fund balance in the general fund in excess
of nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned
fund balance (i.e., surplus)
• Excess of nonspendable, restricted, and committed
fund balance over total fund balance (i.e., deficit)

14 Government Finance Review | April 2009
Reserved fund balance. Currently, reserved fund balance
comprises three elements:
■ Resources that by their very nature cannot be spent (e.g.,
prepaid rent)
■ Resources that are not yet available for spending (e.g.,
long-term portion of loans receivable)
■ Resources externally restricted to a purpose narrower
than the fund
The first of these elements will always be reported as non-
spendable fund balance.The second element normally would
be reported as nonspendable fund balance (i.e.,unless there
was a limitation on how the amounts eventually received
could be used, in which case the classification would be
restricted, committed, or assigned fund balance, as appropri-
ate).The third element will be reported as restricted fund bal-
ance.
Designated unreserved fund balance. Currently this cat-
egory comprises two elements:
■ Limitations that the government places upon itself
■ Tentative management plans
Net resources currently reflected in the first category will be
reported in the future as either committed fund balance or as
assigned fund balance,depending upon the source of the lim-
itation.The latter will be reported as either assigned fund bal-
ance (if management is designated to make such assign-
ments) or unassigned fund balance.
Undesignated unreserved fund balance. Today this
residual category includes resources whose use is limited,but
not for a purpose narrower than the purpose of the fund.
Under GASB Statement No. 54, there is no requirement that a
limitation be narrower than the purpose of the fund.
Accordingly, items that are restricted, committed, or assigned
simply for the purpose of the fund will be reported as restrict-
ed,committed,or assigned fund balance.
Also, reporting designated unreserved fund balance today
is optional.Under GASB Statement No.54,the use of the equiv-
alent category (i.e., assigned fund balance) will be required.
Therefore, many governments that today do not report desig-
nated unreserved fund balance will report as assigned fund
balance a portion of what today is labeled simply unreserved
fund balance.
EFFECTIVE DATE
Governments will need to implement GASB Statement No.
54 starting with the fiscal period that ends June 30,2011.In the
statistical section of the comprehensive annual financial
report, retroactive implementation is encouraged, but not
required. If a government declines to restate amounts from
previous years in the statistical section,it will need to provide
an explanation.❙
Notes
1.GASB Statement No.54,paragraph 5.
2.Assuming that there are not constraints on the use of the amounts eventu-
ally collected.
3.Assuming that there are not constraints on the use of the proceeds of the
eventual sale.
4.The criteria for restricted net assets set forth in GASB Statement No.34,
Basic Financial Statements — and Management's Discussion and Analysis
— for State and Local Governments,paragraph 34,are identical to the cri-
teria for restricted fund balance in GASB Statement No.54,paragraph 8.
5.If the use of the amounts to be collected on long-term loans receivable
and the amounts resulting from the sale of nonfinancial assets is subject
to restrictions,then those items should be reflected in restricted fund bal-
ance,rather than in nonspendable fund balance.
and the amounts resulting from the sale of nonfinancial assets is commit-
ted,then those items should be reflected in committed fund balance,
rather than in nonspendable fund balance.
and the amounts resulting from the sale of nonfinancial assets is
assigned,then those items should be reflected in assigned fund balance,
rather than in nonspendable fund balance.

AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ABANDONMENT AND CLOSING
OF THE FOLLOWING UNIMPROVED STREET SEGMENT TO WIT: a
complete unimproved public right-of-way, variable in width, for Ben
Ficklin Road, extending approximately 400 feet from the southeast
corner of South Bryant Boulevard and South Jackson Street and

THEREOF TO THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS; PROVIDING FOR
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ABANDONMENT AND
CONVEYANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND
DELIVER A QUIT CLAIM DEED TO THE ABUTTING PROPERTY
OWNERS
Summary: The City Council may:
1. Approve the proposed abandonment; or
2. Approve the proposed abandonment subject to conditions; or
3. Deny the proposed abandonment.
Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed street
abandonment subject to conditions listed at the end of this report.
Planning Commission recommended approval of this request by a vote of 6-0 on
December 16, 2013.
History and Background:
Prior to the mid-1970’s, Ben Ficklin Road was one of the main thoroughfares leading in
and out of the city to the south. The placement of South Bryant Boulevard bisected
sections of Ben Ficklin, rending portions of them unused.
The portion of Ben Ficklin Road that the applicant seeks to abandon is located east of
South Bryant Boulevard and west of the Century Park Addition, Lots 2-9 and the
northwest section of Lot 14. Sections of the Century Park Addition were platted in 1983,
including Lots 2-14, after the installation of South Bryant Boulevard and before an
abandonment of another segment of Ben Ficklin Road just north of the subject property
was approved on October 23, 1984.
The October 23, 1984, abandonment extends north from South Jackson Road and west
of the Theo Alexander Subdivision, Tract 1. The main argument for this closure of a
0.241 acre portion was essentially that traffic had increased over the years and what
was once an awkward intersection at South Bryant Boulevard and the newer sections of
South Jackson Street, this area became not only confusing but eventually dangerous,
resulting in 34 injuries from car accidents.

Special Information
Private Utilities: AEP has an overhead electric line running
along the west line of this proposed
abandonment area. Therefore, a 20’ wide
easement needs to be reserved for this
existing line.

Basis for Recommendation
South Bryant Boulevard is identified on the Thoroughfare Plan as
an arterial. The minimum width required in the Subdivision
Ordinance of an arterial is 80 feet. Since South Bryant Boulevard
is approximately 150 feet wide, it clearly exceeds the minimum
width. Additionally, a review by Engineering staff reveals that there
are no future plans to restore this portion of Ben Ficklin Road and
add on to the width using this fragment of Ben Ficklin Road.
The abandonment of Ben Ficklin Road in 1984 to the north of the
property attests to the fact that the road is no longer viable, since
that portion confused motorists and accidents occurred until it was
abandoned. A better use of the land in question would be to
include it into a functioning commercial use since the Vision Plan
calls for the area to be commercial. Staff also notes that there is
no development in the area that would be adversely impacted by
this abandonment request.
It is important to note that there are some utilities present in this
abandonment area. The open and unobstructed easements,
recommended as staff conditions, alongside and through this
proposed abandonment are necessary so that growth to the east
and north of the property is not hindered in the future. Electric and
water are essential portions of any development on the
commercial or residential side and discontinuing their progress
northward will have serious implications on future development.
Open and unobstructed easements on and in the area of this
former street will need to be maintained so the facilities can be
accessed, upgraded, and repaired in the future. The easements
can be paved and parked over without any problem, however they
do need to be kept free from buildings, fences, and structures so
that future access can occur.
Depending on where future buildings are to be placed, additional
hydrants for firefighting may be installed as may be required for
compliance with standards of the International Fire Code, ensuring
adequate coverage for each new building site.
New business to the area would, no doubt, attract additional traffic.
This has been an option since the advent of the subdivision. Aside
from possible traffic that would be generated once a business
begins operating from the property, staff does not foresee any
major change to the area residents and properties should this
abandonment itself be approved.

In conclusion, by abandoning this segment of Ben Ficklin right-of-
way, the property owner will be able to achieve a more cohesive
land use pattern, especially with an area replat which would be a
condition staff recommends at the end of this report. Since the
property is no longer necessary as a through street, staff has no
objections to this right-of-way being abandoned. It may be
incumbent upon the applicant, however, to approach the adjacent
property owner to this proposed abandonment should they desire
to purchase the adjacent property owner’s half.
Proposed Conditions
1. Maintain a 20' electric easement and right-of-way for existing
line, This easement area needs to be 20 feet in width, being 10
feet on each side of the centerline of the existing electric line.
2. Replat Lots 9-2 and abandoned right-of-way into a logical
configuration that falls in line with the development standards of
the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. Maintain a 20’ unobstructed utility easement running north and
south as depicted on the plat recorded in 1983.

Center
Caption: Regular Item
Update on participation and status of Employee Wellness Program.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Summary: Sheryl Pfluger, San Angelo Community Medical Center, will present an update on
the status and baseline comparisons of the Employee Wellness Program.
History: When the City solicited bids for the operation of the Employee Health Clinic in
2011, part of the bid process was to implement a full scale Wellness Program for City employees.
San Angelo Community Medical Center provides two Wellness Coordinators to operate the
Employee Wellness Program at the Employee Health Clinic.
August 1, 2011 marked the official launch of the Wellness Program for City of San Angelo
employees. Over the following eight weeks, health screening meetings were held where
employees completed the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) questionnaire and submitted to the
health screening. These screenings are now an annual October event. The HRA and health
screening is designed to identify risk factors in the following areas: overall wellness; heart health;
cancer risk; diabetes score; osteoporosis risk; nutrition; physical fitness; mental health; safety
practices and weight related risks. Blood pressure, height, weight and a small blood sample are
the components of the health screening.
At the September 6, 2011 City Council meeting, Council approved charging employees, who
participate in the City health insurance, an additional 20% in insurance premiums for failure to
complete the HRA and health screening. The HRA and health screening was optional for those
employees not enrolled in the City provided health insurance.
An annual update to City Council also occurred in January 2013. Some participation incentives
are being proposed for the 2014 program year.
Financial Impact: Cost of incentives, if approved by Council. The funds generated from the non-
participants by way of increased health insurance premiums will be used to fund future program
events.
Attachments: None.

City of San Angelo
Memo
Cc: Daniel Valenzuela, City Manager, Michael Dane, Assistant City Manager,
AJ Fawver, Interim Director Development Services
From: Karl Bednarz, P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Status Update of Sealcoat Issues from This Summer’s Project
Contact: Karl Bednarz, 657-4203
Summary:
Work to seal approximately 900,000 square yards of streets within the City of San
Angelo was started on September 3, 2013 and was substantially completed on
September 14, 2013. Brannon Paving Company from Victoria, Texas was the
successful low bidder and performed the work.
Over the past several months, since the asphalt and aggregate were applied to
the streets, a problem with the loose aggregate and dust has been noticed. City
staff has fielded numerous complaints regarding this issue.
The Engineering Services division has been actively working to determine what
caused this issue and what could be done to correct the problem.
Possible reasons for the loose aggregate are:
1) Aggregate delivered and used was a softer aggregate than specified.
2) Asphalt delivered and used, did not meet the specifications specified.
3) Asphalt rates used to apply the material were too light and not heavy
enough to properly seat the aggregate.
4) Too much aggregate was applied.
5) The weather and/or roadway surface was too cold.
For Items 1 and 2 above, the aggregate and asphalt specifications are included in
the contract. City staff believed all material passed specifications when it was
used. We are currently in the process of having samples from left over aggregate
and asphalt stock taken during the application of the project tested. This testing
will be for verification that the materials used met specifications. We should have
these results back from the private laboratory we are using in approximately two
weeks.
City Crews are currently sweeping these areas frequently trying to minimize the
loose aggregate and dust on the streets. Staff will continue to monitor these
issues and sweep as necessary and, as possible, to keep the dust and loose
aggregate off of the streets.
For Item 3 above, there is a question that the asphalt rates that were used were
too light to properly ‘stick’ the aggregate down. Engineering Services staff are
currently reviewing the rates that were used to determine if this could be an issue.
For Item 4 above, the aggregate rate that was applied was noticeably heavy

immediately after application. The contractor swept a considerable amount of
aggregate off the day the material was applied and the day after. The contractor
also came back approximately a month after the aggregate was applied and
swept the roadways again.
For Item 5 above, the project began on September 3, 2013 and all asphalt and
aggregate was placed by September 14, 2013. The weather was cooling off by
this time. Ideally, sealcoat should be placed in the heat of the summer to get the
best job possible. We also had rain on a portion of this project soon after it was
applied, as well as several ice events over the entire project during November and
December that could have had a detrimental effect on aggregate turning loose
from the asphalt.
This project does have a warranty for defective work included in the contract. If
we can determine that the reasons for failures are covered by the warranty, then
the warranty for the project can be enacted, resulting in the defective areas being
corrected by the contractor.
Staff is currently evaluating other methods of recourse if we cannot determine that
these failures are covered by the warranty.

Memo
Meeting Date: January 21, 2014
From: AJ Fawver, AICP, Interim Director of Development
Services
Subject: consider petition for possible annexation (to San
Angelo’s City limits) of certain properties situated
southwest of San Angelo
Location: First of two required public comment periods for an area
encompassing a vacant 4 acre tract in the Community of
Faith subdivision, Block 1, Lot 3, extending southwest
from Southland Boulevard, and located directly east of an
8.995 acre tract annexed to the City Limits on March 5,
2013 that comprises the Prestonwood Addition, Section
Two.
Contacts: AJ Fawver, AICP
Interim Director of Development Services 657-4210
Caption: Public comments for and against annexation of certain
properties situated immediately west/southwest of San
Angelo and encompassing the Community of Faith
subdivision, being 4 acres of Section 3 , Block 1, Lot 3
extending southwest from Southland Boulevard, and
located directly east of an 8.995 acre tract annexed to the
City Limits on March 5, 2013 that comprises the
Prestonwood Addition, Section Two.

Summary:
City staff was presented with a petition for annexation of the property on December 3,
2013 and as described above and specifically shown in the attached exhibits. A copy of
the petition is also included within the exhibits. The property in question is entirely vacant
and situated adjacent to a growing residential subdivision, known as the Prestonwood
Addition, and is located south/southeast of Sam's Club and west of Bonham Elementary
School. This subdivision, nearing the completion of its development, was annexed to the
city in 2008 and incorporates both traditional single-family residences and zero lot line
homes.
On March 5, 2013, a vacant 8.995 acre tract was annexed into the City Limits; this
particular property subject to this annexation request is directly east of and adjacent to
this 8.995 acre tract.
On December 17, 2013, the Mayor and City Council unanimously approved that this
annexation request be heard. By accepting the petition and adopting a calendar of
annexation proceedings as prescribed under Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code, City Council initiated a process that may be completed as early
as March 4, 2014.
The Local Government Code authorizes cities to annex sparsely occupied areas on
petition of the area's landowner(s). This section (43.028) only applies to the
annexation of areas that meet the following criteria:
(1) is one-half mile or less in width;
(2) is within the ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction) of the city;
(3) is vacant and without residents, or on which fewer than three qualified voters
reside;
(4) is contiguous to the annexing city.
The subject area of proposed annexation is uninhabited, free of any structures, and
meets all of the above criteria.
Annexation Calendar (no special meetings needed)
first public hearing January 21, 2014
second public hearing February 4, 2014
introduce annexation February 18th, 2014
ordinance, on first
reading
second and final reading March 4, 2014
of annexation ordinance

Analysis of Proposed Annexation:
It is essential that the foundation statement of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan be
considered in context of considering annexations, specifically that:
"Rapid land use expansion and recent annexations have affected the
identity of the City and established a new development pattern that is
fiscally unsustainable."
This Plan provides guidance for annexation, many of which are relevant to this
scenario. First, the plan establishes a goal stating that the City should "annex areas
before extensive development of home sites and business properties occurs, guiding
any such development within a framework of municipal regulations on zoning,
subdivision, signs, fire prevention and building construction." This excerpt is relevant
in this situation, because the area is vacant, and thus, no such development is in
place. However, this argument is not compelling enough on its own. In this instance,
annexation of this property would be prudent given that all contiguous surrounding
properties have been annexed. Therefore annexation here would ensure logical
area development and could potentially be beneficial for placement of public utilities
and avoid possible confusion for emergency responders. Thus, this request
represents infill as opposed to annexing land that essentially continues to push City
Limits away from the city center, thereby being the first step in ensuring the best use
of the land.
The Comprehensive Plan further states that it is important to "identify specific areas
where...annexation may be useful for incorporating expected new
development...within City limits, especially where an infrastructure of water utilities
already exists." In this area, a network of water and sewer mains, available for
extension, are in existence, serving annexed area properties such as Bonham
Elementary School and the neighboring Prestonwood Addition, Section One.
Additionally, being that the property in question lies along Southland Boulevard,
which is identified as a major arterial street, approval of this request appears more
logistically logical as surrounding street infrastructure is already in place so services
can easily access the property.

City of San Angelo
Neighborhood Revitalization Plan
Neighborhood & Family Services Department
January, 2005
Updated: December 2013

2
In 2005, the City of San Angelo undertook an effort to identify the most deteriorated
neighborhoods and develop a strategy and plan to revitalize those neighborhoods.
The goal of the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program is to make a positive impact
on those neighborhoods in terms of crime rate, property values, new home starts, code
compliance, elimination of slum and blight and overall homeownership issues.
INTRODUCTION
Indeed, cities across the nation are realizing the benefits of eliminating slum and blight
and redeveloping in areas long neglected and allowed to fall into ruin. Cities such as
Philadelphia, Richmond, and Baltimore have invested heavily in redevelopment efforts
and all three have reported significant economic impact not only in the targeted
neighborhoods, but in nearby neighborhoods due to the spillover effect. Although it
takes years for a city’s revitalization investments to bear fruit, San Angelo has already
seen benefits in its efforts to clean up and redevelop aging and neglected
neighborhoods. These benefits include:
 Increased property values
 Increased sales of existing homes
 More residents improving their homes
 Reduced crime rate
 Fewer code compliance complaints
In addition to tangible benefits, there are intangible benefits that are just as important
such as pride of homeownership and being part of a neighborhood.
Baseline Neighborhood Survey: To start the process, the city’s Community
Development Department executed a survey to help identify the most deteriorated
neighborhoods in need of revitalization. The survey included the following key factors:
 Condition of the housing stock
 Crime rate and law enforcement
 Infrastructure
 Employment opportunities
 Presence of slum and blight
 Recreational and public facilities
 Outdoor parks
 Neighborhood shopping (food stores, eating establishments, etc)
 Churches and social gathering facilities
 Medical services
Based on citizen input, research, and a windshield survey, staff identified four areas that
needed the most attention. These areas are: Blackshear, Reagan, Ft Concho, and Rio
Vista.
These four neighborhoods showed signs of slum & blight, high crime, few parks and
recreational facilities, non-existing medical facilities, few employment opportunities,

3
and very few stores in the neighborhoods. In addition, streets were in very poor
condition, no sidewalks and in some areas, no stop signs or other traffic control signs.
The survey found the housing stock in these areas outdated with a high rate of
deteriorated homes.
The planning process for the development of the NRP began with several public
meetings to help identify the problem and get buy in from the citizens. An initial list of
stakeholders was created with staff for use in development of a steering committee.
The list included representatives from a grass roots citizens group called the West Texas
Organizing Strategy (WTOS), city departments including Planning, Police Dept,
Community Development, Health, Parks; and non-profit agencies to include Galilee
Community Development Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Keep San Angelo
Beautiful, Public Housing Authority, and the United Way. The committee was chaired by
the Mayor and attended by several members of City Council. The Steering Committee
developed goals & objectives and outlined a strategy to achieve those goals &
objectives.
PLANNING PROCESS
Goals and objectives:
• Select target neighborhoods
o Conduct appropriate research, including a windshield survey to identify
neighborhoods in need, access Census data
• Collaborate with planning information & priorities within participating
organizations
• Eliminate slum and blight throughout San Angelo
• Make San Angelo a better place to live
• Increase neighborhood pride
Strategy:
• Ensure all available resources are brought to bear in targeted neighborhoods
o CDBG, HOME, LIHTC, EDI, Economic Development Sales Tax, etc
• Combine individual entities’ efforts in Neighborhood Revitalization
• Empower neighborhood participation
• Develop and support programs such as housing and infrastructure programs that
target those neighborhoods
o Neighborhood Blitzes
o LIHTC
o Keep San Angelo Beautiful support to the elderly
o Housing Rehab/Emergency Repairs
o New construction both homeowner and rental
o Sale of tax foreclosed lots at reduced price
• Partner with key stakeholders to focus on target neighborhoods

4
• Encourage private sector investment
• Build neighborhood capacity
• Redesign public services
• Increase inter-governmental and intra-governmental collaboration
• Create a sense of community
After the plan was developed, the steering committee held several public meetings to
announce the plan and allow for citizen review. With overwhelming support, the plan
was set in motion led by the Community Development Dept (now named
Neighborhood & Family Services Dept).
The plan is a living document that is reviewed and updated as necessary.

PLAN AREA The boundaries of the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan area are outlined
and shaded in grey on the map shown below:

6
The revitalization of San Angelo’s older neighborhoods has been an ongoing effort for
the past 20 years. Most of these early revitalization efforts were centered on affordable
housing managed by a few organizations whose mission was and still is to increase the
affordable housing stock through rehabilitation of existing homes and the construction
of new ones.
AREA HISTORY
The city entered the game with the onset of the CDBG in the mid 1970’s and later with
the HOME grant in the early 1990’s. Community Development projects started mostly in
the Rio Vista area but slowly expanded across the city with several thousand home
rehabs, emergency repairs and dozens of new home construction projects.
In conjunction with the city, several non-profits developed a presence and became
part of the city’s revitalization effort. One of the first affordable housing non-profits to
organize in San Angelo was Christmas in April, now called Rebuilding Together, (RT)
which began operating 20 years ago. Since then, RT has repaired/renovated over 1,200
homes across the city for elderly and/or disabled citizens. Although RT has since
disbanded, a new non-profit named Helping Hands which is affiliated with Galilee CDC
has taken its place.
Another partner in affordable housing is Habitat for Humanity which came to San
Angelo in 1994. Since then, they have constructed or renovated 56 homes and are
ready to build several more in the upcoming years.
The Public Housing Authority (PHA) has been in existence in San Angelo since 1975.
Where Community Development is centered around home-ownership, PHA’s mission is
rental assistance. They manage 398 rental units and allocate over 700 housing
vouchers annually.
The newest affordable housing partner to come onto the scene is Galilee Community
Development Corporation. Although relatively new, Galilee CDC has built 18 new
homes and continues to press forward on new projects.
Neighborhood revitalization was status quo for much of its history with unfocused and
divergent efforts being carried out throughout the city. However, in 2006 a new spirit of
cooperation began to spring up among stakeholders and a series of events occurred
that changed the dynamics and environment.
There are many other important events that have further accelerated the revitalization
program. These include the demolition of over 40 substandard and dilapidated homes
in Rio Vista and Blackshear by the National Guard as part of Operation Crackdown, the
creation of a first time homebuyers assistance program, the passage of a ½ cent sales
tax (part of which earmarks funds for affordable housing), and the city’s commitment to
infrastructure improvements including: repaving streets, constructing sidewalks,
cleaning out washouts like the Red Arroyo, replacing street lights, and improving parks.

7
Code Compliance took an aggressive posture in these areas, citing over 10,000
violations since 2005. This led to more compliance awareness among the residents of
those neighborhoods and less complaints from neighbors. Also, WTOS logged over 9,000
man-hours in political advocacy, community organization activities, and hands on work
that included KSAB clean-up events, distributing material for the city, and other in-kind
assistance in support of the Revitalization Program.
In the past couple of years, we have seen other special efforts in support of the
revitalization program. With Council approval, the city carried out two paint and
cleanup blitzes, painting 127 homes and picking up over 600 tons of trash. The San
Angelo Health Foundation and SADC also allocated $200,000 each to replace roofs in
the target neighborhoods.
Private investments have also aided the revitalization program. Some of these projects
are the 120-unit River Place apartments for elderly in the Ft Concho area, and the
renovation of the Nueva Vista apartments and the potential Blackshear Homes
development in the Blackshear target area.
Housing Coalition Accomplishments since 2006:
• 682 homes repaired/remodeled
• 98 new homes constructed
• 108 minor repairs for elderly/disabled citizens
• 169 substandard structures demolished
• 46 new homebuyers assisted
• 64 roof replacements
• 26,780 square yards of sidewalks built
• 155,724 square yards of street paving
PROGRAMS
The City’s Community & Housing Support Division, manages the HUD funded
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership
Program (HOME) grant. These two grants have historically been the funding foundation
of the City’s neighborhood revitalization efforts. However, over the past four years,
cooperation among the non-profit housing organizations including Rebuilding Together,
Galilee Community Development Corporation and Habitat for Humanity have forged
housing partnerships which have allowed the City to leverage resources and expertise
from these partners for the betterment of the community. Moreover, non-housing
agencies such as City of San Angelo Code Compliance, Police Department, Fire
Prevention, Engineering Services, Keep San Angelo Beautiful, San Angelo Development
Corporation (SADC), San Angelo Health Foundation, the West Texas Organizing
Strategy (WTOS), and private companies have played an important role in the City’s
revitalization efforts. This ad hoc coalition of vested stakeholders has supported each
other and pushed up the level of activity in all the targeted neighborhoods.

Several housing and non-housing programs and projects make up the bulk of the
neighborhood revitalization plan and strategy. These programs/projects include:
• COSA infrastructure improvements
• CDBG Housing Rehabilitation & Emergency Repair programs
• HOME Neighborhood Revitalization Program
• HOME Homebuyers Assistance Program
• SADC Affordable Housing Assistance Program
• Roof Replacement Program (San Angelo Health Foundation funded)
• Helping Hands elderly housing assistance and annual rebuilding day
• Community Housing Development Organization (Galilee CDC) new home
constrution
• Habitat for Humanity new home construction
• COSA Neighborhood Blitzes
• Increased police presence
• COSA Code Compliance
• Fire Prevention, dangerous buildings inspections
Indeed, these focused and concerted efforts among all the stakeholders have made a
great impact in the targeted neighborhoods in terms of new and remodeled homes
and infrastructure improvements in the past several years, and this collaboration
continues to date.
REVITALIZATION FUNDING
Although the city and its partners have expended approximately $2.3M since 2006 for
the construction of new homes, housing remodels, repairs and infrastructure
improvements, these investments have yielded over $1.1M in mortgages generated by
local banks and the city expects to receive over $245K in program income which will
generate additional loans. Private companies have invested over $20M in the
construction of new housing units and renovation of existing complexes. These private
efforts, along with the introduction of economic improvement zones adjacent to the
targeted areas will not only increase economic vitality and provide economic
opportunities in the future, but also help expand development and growth across the
city.
In 2005, the city began earmarking $335K annually from Economic Development Sales
Tax for affordable housing in the target neighborhoods, accumulating over $4M to
date. This trend will continue until at least 2025 providing an additional $4M for future
revitalizations programs and projects strictly in the areas targeted for revitalization. In
addition, over $100K from the city’s Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
grant funds are earmarked annually for projects in the revitalization neighborhoods.
The City of San Angelo covers 58.61 square miles in Tom Green County, Texas. The 2010
U.S. Census reports a total population for San Angelo of 93,232. Additionally, the Census

reports there are 39,548 housing units in San Angelo, with over 60% owned. Areas with
high concentrations of low income households are defined as block groups with 51% or
more of the population falling below 80% of the area median family income.
According to 2010 Census information, the City of San Angelo has significant areas with
concentrations of low income households in all quadrants of the City, with the heaviest
concentrations in the neighborhoods targeted for revitalization. New areas of high
concentrations of low income households include Census Tract/Block Groups as follows:
12/1 in the northwest; 2/1 and 2/3 in the north, 3/3, 7/2, and 8/3 in the northwest;
11.02/1, 11.02/6 and increased area in 6/1 in the central region of the city; 14/3 and
14/5 in the south; and 13.03/2 in the southwest. Census Tract/Block Groups 4/7 in the
north; 4/4 and 10/6 in the central region; and 12/6 in the west no longer qualify as
having 51% or more of the population falling below 80% of the area median income.

Areas with Concentrations of Minority Populations
People of Hispanic origin comprise the largest minority population in San Angelo. The
growth of the City’s minority population over the past two decades is reflected in chart
below.
Ethnic Groups as a Percent of Total Population
Ethnicity 1980 1990 2000 2010

Black, Non-Hispanic 4.4% 4.5% 4.5% 4.6%
Other Races, Non-Hispanic 1.0% 1.4% 2.5% 2.5%
Areas with high concentrations of minority population are defined as block groups
consisting of 51% or more minority population. Areas of the City with higher
concentrations of low-to-moderate income households typically tend to be the areas
with the greatest concentrations of minority populations. The largest concentrations of
minority population are found in Census Tracts 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 14. Certain of the
Block Groups within these Census Tracts contain high concentrations of Hispanic
population. Further, these are also the Census Tracts with the largest numbers and
greatest percentages of low-to moderate income residents.

sewer usage is sent to the Water Fund.
UTILITIES AND COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Street and infrastructure improvements have increased over the past six years with
26,780 square yards of sidewalks built and 155,724 square yards of street paving. Street

14
lights and stop lights have also been installed providing the neighborhoods a safer
environment.
When people organize, collect and analyze information, and become more
knowledgeable about their community they can be significant contributors to the
revitalization of their neighborhood. A diverse group of residents working together can
generate creative approaches to change, mobilize new assets and generate positive
results. The people who live and work in a neighborhood are excellent judges of their
neighborhood's priorities, opportunities and needs. The NRP provides a safe forum for all
neighborhood voices to be heard. It also creates a potentially beneficial opportunity
for public officials and government staff to interact with the people for whom they are
working. This can lead to the reexamination of budget priorities and new methods of
delivering public services.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Neighborhood revitalization ultimately depends on a sense of neighborhood identity
and a commitment by residents to make their neighborhood a better place to live,
work, learn and play. The NRP gives neighborhood residents a framework for, and
reasons to, come together to create that commitment.
The impact of this comprehensive and coordinated effort by city staff, non-profits,
citizen groups, and private developers in the four target neighborhoods is substantial
with steady growth in several key areas to include new homes, major remodels,
increase in property values, higher home sales, and a decrease in the crime rate.
Although the city’s revitalization program has enjoyed success in the past few years,
much work remains to be done. There are still sections in these target neighborhoods
that require increased investment to get them to a sustainable level. It will take political
will and resources to maintain the effort.
The city is fortunate to have a progressive City Council and City management that
have embraced neighborhood revitalization. It is this commitment from the city’s
leadership that has helped make the revitalization effort successful. City management
at the highest levels has encouraged city staff to work across departmental disciplines
to streamline processes, coordinate resources, and to develop partnerships with outside
organizations unheard of in other cities across the nation. These unique partnerships
allow the city to benefit greatly from this collaboration.
The City of San Angelo and its many partners can be proud of the accomplishments
achieved in recent years. The revitalization effort and its implementation provide an
extraordinary example of how collaborative partnerships - coalesced around a sound
concept - can yield significant economic benefit.

Subject: Agenda Item for January 21, 2014, Council Meeting
Contact: Anthony Wilson, Public Information Officer, 234-0014
Caption: REGULAR Item
Consideration of authorizing the negotiation and execution of an amendment to
an agreement between the City of San Angelo and McLaughlin Advertising,
extending the term five (5) years.
Summary: The City’s agreement with McLaughlin Advertising regarding the placement of
City advertising in the media expires on April 29, 2014. McLaughlin Advertising
has expressed interest in extending the term of the agreement. The City is
pleased with the service the firm has provided and wishes to do the same.
History: The City entered into an agreement with McLaughlin Advertising, a local agency,
on April 29, 2011, for the placement of advertising (excepting employment ads,
and legal and public notices) in the media. The term of the contract is three years;
the agreement has no provision for its renewal at the conclusion of the initial term.
McLaughlin Advertising has expressed interest in extending the term of the
contract without changing any of its other provisions. The City is pleased with the
service McLaughlin has provided and with the provisions of the agreement.
The McLaughlin agency’s guidance has resulted in more effective City
advertisement reaching a far broader audience. This advertising has included
water conservation education and watering restriction notices, cadet recruitment
for the Fire and Police departments, and public awareness of City events and
services. McLaughlin has assured a higher quality of ads and commercials, and a
more strategic placement of ads in appropriate mediums and media. Further,
McLaughlin has consistently managed through relationships and negotiation with
local media outlets to gain the City greater value than what it pays for an
advertising campaign.
The most recent example of this beneficial business relationship was McLaughlin
Advertising’s securing more than $8,000 in cash sponsorships and $10,000 in in-
kind sponsorships for the wildly successful River Fest. Additionally, to date
McLaughlin has secured $15,787.50 in sponsorships for the Recreation Division’s
Date Night.
McLaughlin has been a good partner for the City, and staff also wishes to extend
the term of the contract by five years. A five-year extension would coincide with
the term of the City’s contract with Citywise Marketing, which sells advertising in
City venues on the City’s behalf and which is owned by McLaughlin Advertising
President Stephen McLaughlin.
Financial Impact: The City does not pay McLaughlin Advertising a retainer, any markup or any
commission for advertising placed with the local media. Instead, McLaughlin
invoices the City only for the media’s cost to publish or broadcast the

advertisement; McLaughlin’s commission is paid by the media outlets.
The only cost to the City under the agreement is if McLaughlin produces the
advertisement. The City has the option of producing its own advertising, which it often
does.

authorizing the production of a coffee table book, and authorizing the Mayor
and/or City Manager to execute said agreement.
Summary: HPN will produce a high-quality coffee table book about San Angelo, sponsored
by, but at no cost to, the City. The City will have full editorial control and will
receive a royalty on sales along with 400 books, again at no financial cost.

are Abilene, Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa and Granbury.
Under the proposed agreement under consideration, HPN will cover all of the
costs involved, generating its revenue not only through the sale of books, but from
businesses purchasing profiles in the back of the publication.
The City will provide an invitation letter signed by the Mayor to present to local
business leaders who may be interested in purchasing a profile. The City will
maintain full editorial control over the content of the book, along with final
approval of all sales materials. The City will receive a royalty of 8 percent from the
sale of the business profiles plus 400 copies of the book, which retail for $39.95.
Those books can either be sold by the City and/or used in helping to market San
Angelo, The City also will receive full permanent use rights to all of the
photography in the book.
By contract, there is no financial cost to the City.
Financial Impact: There is no cost to the City.
The City will receive a royalty of 8 percent of the sales of business profiles. HPN
projects that royalty will generate $8,000 for the City.
Additionally, the City will receive 400 copies of the book at no cost. The book
retails for $39.95. The City may sell some or all of its copies, if it wishes.
