Subject: RE: TIRZ5 camera request
Attached is the base bid from one vendor. 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.

Hi Marie,
Please see the attached cost estimates for the project. 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 TIRZ#5 board had a great discussion today regarding the plan and process; however, action for
specific requests was not on the agenda and it was decided that we need another meeting to discuss. I
am going to add your request as an item and can use your below email as backup; however, I don’t see
included in here the amount of the project and the amount you are requesting. If you could provide me

Hi Marie,
Thanks for reaching out!
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!

Good morning Mr. Howard,
Josie Falletta, the City’s Downtown Manager, had provided me with your contact
information as you had recently inquired with her about possibly applying for
reimbursement from TIRZ#5 for some Water/Wastewater improvements you are
doing. 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!

DRAFT 03.22.2021
The TIRZ Concept Generally
A tax increment reinvestment zone (“TIRZ”) is a financing tool created by the State Legislature to
assist cities and counties in developing or redeveloping unproductive, underdeveloped or blighted
areas.
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.

Zone No. 5 Project Plan and Financing Plan 3

DRAFT 03.22.2021
Executive Summary
The proposed City of San Marcos, Texas (the "City") Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 5
("Zone No. 5") consists of approximately 244 acres in the downtown core. 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.

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.
