IT recommended that I include an upcharge of 20% to account for the unknowns related to installation. For example: if we mount these to existing light poles, then Tyler will only charge us approximately $200/per camera for the electric tie-in. If that is not the case, it will be considerably higher. Therefore, I am officially seeking $58,774 for this project. This will include (8) cameras in the downtown reporting district. The goal is to use these cameras for 24/7 monitoring to combat violent crime. These cameras would be accessible by mobile data computers in use by officers in the field, as well as stored on a server at the PD. They will send video via fiber to the PD from Fire Station 1.

Please note that the first three line items are required for the wastewater service. These include the city wastewater tap, plumbing from the tap to the building, and all the concrete and asphalt work associated with this project. The last three items are for improving and finishing out the parking lot. Being that there will be a large patch in the parking lot after the wastewater line is installed it makes sense to seal and stripe the parking lot at this time. Also, we want to tighten up the curbs at the street and extend the sidewalk to decrease cut through traffic, increase safety, and capture a few more parking spots. This plan is outlined and approved in the remodel parent permit submitted to the city in August of 2019. Family First Fitness is requesting $38,700 to complete both projects.

The short story is that the wastewater utility needs to be updated to accommodate another small local business in my building. This includes digging up the parking lot, the street, and cutting the new sidewalk that I just put in. We also need to put in a additional water meter. Josie may have told you but just in case she didn’t I’d like to give you a little context about my business and the one renting from me. I own Galaxy Bicycles. I’ve been in business 14 years and started on the downtown square back in 2008. I purchased, developed, and moved into my new location right before COVID hit. It’s been a roller coaster since them. The business I rented out the front of my building to is a small gym called Family First Fitness. They are a locally owned, community focused gym that will also offer a limited variety of healthy grab and go food. I held out over a year to find a good fit like this. I turned down countless Vape shops and Liquor Stores that were willing to rent for top dollar the day I closed on purchasing the building. I personally wanted a business with like minded goals that helps people live their best lives and supports a healthy community. I’ve been very excited to have Family First Fitness as my new neighbor. That said we both have been feeling pressure as unforeseen development expenses pop up. These have delayed the process, and ultimately are costing way more than what was forecasted. We have reached a point where we need to ask for help. I personally feel very optimistic that the City of San Marcos sees the value of local, health oriented, owner operated, small businesses like ours succeed and proposer. I really appreciate you reaching out to me. What do you need to present our situation? I spoke with the contractors earlier today so I can put something together ASAP. Do you need an itemized list of construction expenses? What qualifies exactly? Is it only projects on the exterior of the building? What about the pipes in the inside of the building that we have to put in? Are there any other things that could qualify? Like AC stuff? What is the timeline looking like? We obviously would like to get approval and the thumbs up sooner rather than later. FYI I have Cced Josie from Main Street and Amanda and David from Family First Fitness. Thanks a bunch!

At this time the current project and financing plan has outlined what the current funds can be used for and there is no formal process for someone to apply for these funds. Based on receiving several inquiries like yours asking how to apply, this is on the agenda to be discussed at our December 13 th TIRZ#5 board meeting. I’d like to bring your request up as an example to discuss. Could you provide me with a summary of exactly what you are looking to be reimbursed for and the amount you are requesting? I will let you know what the board decides as the formal process and what, if anything, you can do to apply once we have met and a decision is made. Thank you for your commitment to our community!

Cities may create a TIRZ where conditions exist that substantially impair an area’s sound growth and where development or enhancements financed by the TIRZ significantly enhance the value of all the taxable real property in a TIRZ and of general benefit to the city or county. Prior to creation, the statute requires preparation of a preliminary project plan and reinvestment zone financing plan outlining specific projects to address the existing conditions and the method and means to finance those projects. Upon creation, the total appraised value of real property located in a TIRZ is established for the year in which it was created. This is known as the base value. As new development occurs in a TIRZ, the value of real property increases. This additional value above the base value is known as the tax increment. Such tax increment is typically set aside to finance improvements within a TIRZ including public infrastructure. Once all projects are complete or after a defined period of time, a TIRZ is dissolved. During the life of a TIRZ, a city and other participating taxing jurisdictions collect tax revenue on the base value of a TIRZ as well as sales and use tax revenue generated by new development (unless a city or county agrees that sales tax and use revenue are also part of the increment). When a TIRZ is dissolved, a city and other participating taxing jurisdictions collect tax revenue on the tax increment value created by new development as well.

The City has addressed one challenge, zoning standards that are inconsistent and contrary to creating a downtown environment, with the adoption of the San Marcos SmartCode (the "SmartCode") in 2011, putting in place a zoning that is predictable and focused on preserving downtown character while enabling pedestrian‐oriented mixed‐use development. In 2018, the City updated the Development Code and relabeled the downtown core as Character District 5 Downtown (CD‐5D). Some of the other downtown challenges remain: a shortage of Class A office space, parking and pedestrian mobility, lack of sufficient lighting and downtown amenities and aesthetic features, and the condition of the streetscape and sidewalks in parts of downtown. One of the financial tools identified in the plan to help address these challenges is the creation of a tax increment reinvestment zone. Under this proposed plan, the City and Hays County (the "County") would participate equally in a tax increment reinvestment zone projected to generate approximately $15,831,450 over the current life of Zone No. 5. It is currently proposed that Zone No. 5 increment revenues will be allocated for parking, including acquisition of land, multi‐modal transportation/mobility, sidewalks, safety considerations, improved lighting, and overall enhancement of downtown as allowed by Section 311.010(h) of the Texas Tax Code. In order to be eligible for Zone No. 5 tax increment revenues, projects must (a) support multi‐ modal transportation and mobility including sidewalks and downtown shuttle services (b) provide overall enhancement of the downtown area including but not limited to lighting, safety and other aesthetic features and/or (c) include acquisition of property for parking and other public priorities with the amounts allocated to include the required operation and maintenance costs within Zone. No. 5 The true value of this approach is that it powerfully leverages tax increment revenues for economic development beyond streetscape or maintenance improvements on a given block. The potential increase in tax base can help in supporting possible future job creation through business relocation to the downtown area along with growth of existing businesses which create jobs. This approach also will encourage the engagement of higher education and other potential research partners through the focus on technology and research, ultimately ensuring that the site will be developed to its highest and best use. City of San Marcos Zone No. 5 Project Plan and Financing Plan 4 16 DRAFT 03.22.2021 Location As proposed, Zone No. 5 extends from Texas State University to the North, to IH‐35 to the South, CM Allen and McKie on the East and several blocks to the West. All of the land within proposed Zone No. 5 is part of the Charter District‐5 Downtown (CD‐5D) and currently includes a number of different types of uses including commercial, retail, restaurants, residential and offices within the boundaries. As provided in the April 1, 2010 economic analysis prepared for the City by Urban Advisors for the current Downtown Master Plan, the City's goal is to encourage a mix of new uses to accommodate additional housing, office space, retail, transportation, safety and parking facilities. Designation of Zone No. 5 assists the City in implementing the Downtown Master Plan and projects brought forth through future master plans. Project Overview and Project Costs 1. Infrastructure supporting cohesive redevelopment Zone No. 5 tax increment revenues shall be made available to facilitate investment in infrastructure or other improvements allowed by law that facilitate the following potential projects. This Project and Finance Plan will be amended as may be required by law to accommodate additional uses of the tax increment revenues within Zone No. 5: a. Projects that support multi‐modal transportation and mobility including sidewalks and downtown shuttle services. b. Overall enhancement of the downtown area including but not limited to lighting, safety and other aesthetic features. c. Acquisition of property for parking and other public priorities with the amounts allocated to include the required operation and maintenance costs.

No. 5. Expenditures associated with the design and construction of Zone No. 5 Projects, as well as other specific project‐related costs, will be funded by tax increment revenues derived from increases in property values resulting from the new development in Zone No. 5. The City may amend this Project and Finance Plan as may be necessary in accordance with law to accommodate the other redevelopment goals and projects outlined under "Project Overview and Project Costs."
