Page 19 - Colleyville FY19 Budget
P. 19

Overlapping taxing entities, including Tarrant County College District and the
               Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District participate at varying levels in the
               district by assigning their ad valorem tax dollars.  Tarrant County and the Tarrant
               County Hospital District are no longer participating in contributing to the TIF as their
               commitment level has already been met.  In November 2012, the TIF was amended
               to expand boundaries to include mostly additional vacant, underutilized  land and
               some commercial property.  The additional area added is called TIF #1A, as compared
               to the original area that is called TIF #1, and had a base value of $30,796,078.

               The incremental value for fiscal year 2019 (tax year 2018) is $392,404,701 for TIF
               #1 and $12,024,677 for TIF #1A.  Together, both TIF areas experienced an increase
               of  $31,555,459  from  the  valuation  for  fiscal  year  2018.  The  adopted  Capital
               Improvement  Plan  recommends  using  TIF  funds  to  pay  for  approved  road
               improvement projects and other projects to spur economic development within the
               district.

               Colleyville Crime Control and Prevention District (CCCPD)
               The primary goal of the district is to fund public safety and crime control activities
               throughout the city. The district was created by voter approval in 1999, with oversight
               of funds assigned to the board of directors, composed of the City Council. State law
               provides that a district’s life is limited to five years, unless voters continue the district
               by approval of a referendum. In September 2003, Colleyville voters approved
               continuation of the district for an additional 20 years.

               Expected revenue from the 0.5 percent special purpose sales tax, use of funds
               generated from prior years’ coverage ratio, and related interest income for the CCCPD
               budget  is $2,190,676. The budget  provides funding for the annual debt  on the
               Colleyville Justice Center, compensation for ten police officers, vehicle replacement,
               and various minor capital items, with total expenditures of $1,987,036 for fiscal year
               2019. In fiscal year 2019, the City also added two part time public service officers.
               The public service officers will perform non-emergency duties which are currently
               being performed by police officers, such as assisting school crossing guards, taking
               minor reports, and aiding with traffic direction. This is intended to free up the City’s
               police officers to spend more time patrolling neighborhoods, building relationships
               with neighbors, and solving community issues.

               Colleyville Economic Development Corporation (CEDC)
               Authority for the corporation is provided by state statute as a 4B corporation. The
               0.5 percent sales and use tax approved by the voters in August 1996 has been an
               important  resource  in  our  Capital  Improvement  Program  for  community-related
               facilities.  This fund accounts for the use of bond proceeds and sales tax revenues for
               municipal park improvements, the purchase of land and equipment for additional
               parks, and for the construction of a community center and library.  Consistent with
               state law, some funds may be allocated by the board of directors for promotional
               efforts for special events and marketing.

               Expected revenue from the special purpose sales tax and related interest income for
               the fiscal year 2019 is $1,916,673. The CEDC Board meets in August to approve the




                                                                                                          19
