we could make the one on 225 to which Bryan responded that because it is

Carlos started by pointing out the activity report in everyone’s binders covering the month’s
activities by Staff. He also noted that information regarding IMPACT Pasadena for 2020 was
passed around. Cristina Womack added some comments and also pointed out the quarterly
report available in the binders as well. She stated graduation for the current class is at the Annual
Gala and she invited the Board to attend as well as to encourage applicants for the new class.
Carlos introduced an interview regarding the old Post Office and Shaw St. that was presented by

PEDC Meeting Minutes: 9/26/2019 3 of 6

one of the local Houston channels. Carlos went through some of the activities that were attended
by Staff as well as some Board Members. There was a quick update given and some pictures
shown of the property where the old bank building was demolished. He reminded the board that
there are 2 more meetings left in the year and provided some updates regarding initiatives that
Staff has been working on. First is the TIRZ that we hope to have Masterson come on board and
talk about doing something for Historic Pasadena. We hope to do a council workshop sometime
in October and approval sometime before the end of the year. This will give us some of the tools
to really start focusing on some of the improvements this part of town needs. To leverage some
of the things done with Clark Condon on Pasadena Blvd., some of the things in the Shaw area and
capture a little bit of Red Bluff. There’s a lot of things going on and this is something we’re excited
to be working on with staff to bring to Council for consideration before the end of the year.
Richey Road Phase II was something approved at the previous meeting and it’s the area south of
Southmore down to South Houston. We’re thinking of doing some sidewalks, some lighting,
some landscaping and there is still some other opportunities where we still need to go out and
talk to business owners because we want to make sure there is input from them and they are
supportive of this. There is a good chance that we will have something to approve for some
construction design before the end of the year. Red Bluff is one of the major corridors as pointed
out in the Strategic Plan and now that we have a redevelopment program up and running, we
want to redo a major thoroughfare. Pasadena Blvd. is a perfect example. We came toward the
end and hired Clark Condon to do some work that should be done upfront that was never done.
Now we want to do an RFQ and we’re still doing our due diligence to see when is the right time
to do the RFQ to look at redoing Red Bluff from 225 down to Spencer as that is the City portion.
Once you go South of Spencer that is a County portion. Obviously it’s a big project, there are
some things we are looking to do to make sure that when we do a design or re-design of a road
that we have community input because we don’t want to design a road that some of the residents
may not be happy with. And how do we make sure to maximize our investment. We’ll be coming
back to the board before the end of the year. It’s a big project with multiple phases and we can’t
do it by ourselves. There are some restrictions; anything that is not commercial, if there is
residential or anything like that there are restrictions with funding so we will need to work with
the City. We think it’ll be about 10% of the total project cost and the EDC may pick up the
remaining portion. This is all dependent on the TIRZ and how that happens and some other things
going on with the budget. This is a long term project but we had to take the first step so for now
we will probably start at 225 working south on Red Bluff which needs a lot of help right now and
it would also be part of the TIRZ. Again, from a Strategic Plan justification, section 6.4 which is to
work with the City to upgrade the visual appeal along major commercial corridors, we’re
targeting the 4th quarter for the RFQ. The timing of when we actually do it will be dependent on
the TIRZ. If we happen to get a TIRZ we will have more flexibility as far as what we can do and if
we don’t get it we need to reassess how fast we can move on this project. Sheena will be
explaining the next section regarding the City’s Strategic Plan that Council just approved. Sheena
commented that Council voted unanimously to approve a Strategic Plan and Fiscal Impact
Analysis for the City. She noted the last plan put together was in 1996 through the RUDAT process
and then the Blueprint came out from it. So it’s been 25 years and a long time coming.
Fundamentally, we want to create wealth for the City whether it’s the City through tax dollars or
households through salary and income to businesses through sales, that’s how we’re doing this.
So by supporting the strategic plan and fiscal impact analysis it helps us determine efficiently
where we can start redevelopment. In the PEDC plan we talk about the goals but don’t define

PEDC Meeting Minutes: 9/26/2019 4 of 6

the how and the what of what we’re going to be doing about redevelopment projects. For
example it says corridor redevelopment, but we can’t know exactly what that is without having
some community input and creating master plans for those corridors. So some items not covered
in the EDC plan that will be covered in the City’s strategic plan are land use strategy, mobility and
connectivity, housing and neighborhoods, community character, environment, hazard
mitigation, those kinds of things are all covered. This will leverage some of the existing and
upcoming studies such as the Parks & Rec plan, our EDC plan and livable centers which just kicked
off. Carlos added some comments about how our population growth is leveling off and when
that happens, the revenue cost starts leveling off and the service costs go up because there is
older infrastructure and it costs more to fix. What we’re trying to do is bring more revenue and
population to make it more sustainable for the city long term. Again, benefits of a fiscal analysis
– efficiency is one thing, strategic long term planning and budgeting it helps the city understand
the impact a certain land use decision could have in terms of tax dollars and services. Giving the
city the tools to make decision about land use development and strategies for development is
what we want to be able to do. So providing the city with the tools to prioritize projects and
services that it wants to. This just creates efficiency for all of our agencies and provides a path
moving forward. Carlos continued the presentation providing the Board with some information
regarding upcoming events and asked that if any Board member is interested in attending to let
Staff know.

Agenda Item Eight: Board Actions - Resolutions.

a. PEDC RESOLUTION 19-029 – Consideration to authorize Staff to negotiate and
execute a contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. in the amount of $90,000.00 for
landscape architectural services for the design of Gateway Monument Signs. (CIP

Ernesto Paredes made a motion to authorize Staff to negotiate and execute a Letter

PEDC Resolution 19-030 be passed, approved and adopted. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUS.

 Rick Lord asked if this was just establishing a relationship and if the details of
the TIRZ were separate. Carlos responded that if City Council chooses to
approve a TIRZ, then at that point something completely different kicks in
that is not Masterson. This is a financial analysis. Steve Cote added that this
is just so that everyone feels comfortable from a financial standpoint. Rick
asked if our legal counsel has reviewed the letter and if everything looks

good to which Jeff Moore responded that he has looked over it and it is
good.

Attachment “A”
Scope of Professional Services

Pasadena, TX – Bay Area Industrial Park Wastewater Lift Station and Forcemain
Improvements

1. Project Understanding

1.1 General Understanding

The City of Pasadena provides potable water service to Nestle Water. Nestle Water’s production is
limited due to the private lift station serving the industrial park area. Nestle could buy additional
water from the City if they had a means to pump additional wastewater from the facility. This
project includes construction of a lift station and forcemain for Nestle Water to pump its treated
wastewater from Nestle Water Facility to a Gulf Coast Authority collection point and ultimately
the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). The daily production of wastewater from Nestle
Water’s Facility is anticipated to be 350-gpm at full plant capacity.

A forcemain routing study will evaluate alternative up to 5 routing option for the proposed 6-inch
forcemain. The forcemain routing study results will be reviewed with the City and Nestle Water to
determine the recommended forcemain routing. The final recommendation will proceed into
design, bidding and construction.

As a basis of this scope, the recommendation is anticipated to include a submersible lift station
with firm capacity of 350-gpm and 13,350 LF of forcemain. The construction methodology used
for construction is assumed to be 80% open cut and 20% trenchless technologies or pipe casing to
avoid conflicts with existing utilities, pipelines, drainage ditches, road crossing and railroads. This
scope includes siting, survey and property acquisition assistance as noted herein. The Engineer’s
Opinion of Construction Cost is $1,900,000.

1.2 Design Criteria/Assumptions
 Lift Station will include two pumps (1 duty, 1 standby) to firm lift station capacity of 350 gpm.
 No generator for backup power.
 Nestle will be responsible for Gulf Coast Authority Permitting.
 The project will follow the design standards of the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ).
 Harris County permitting to be completed by HR Green.
 Forcemain is assumed to be 6-inch PVC pipe (C=140).
 The forcemain length assumed for proposal is 13,350-LF. 80% of forcemain i.e. 10,680-LF
will be constructed via open cut and 2,670-LF will be constructed via trenchless method.
 Survey and Geotechincal exploration will be completed.
 Land Acquisition, if needed, to be completed by City.
 Design, bid and construction engineering services will be included.
 Two bid packages are assumed.

Dear Sir or Madam,

On behalf of the Nestle Waters North America (NWNA), Factory located at 10525
Red Bluff Road, Pasadena TX 77507, we are sending this letter as a follow-up to some
recent discussions between our Corporate Office in Coppell, TX regarding the site’s
wastewater effluent system and our request for assistance from the City to expand its
capacity in early 2020. Currently this effluent system is rated at only 150gpm and is
shared within the industrial park with other users. Depending on the specific production
mix, our factory routinely requires this full capacity in order to sustain even nominal
output and is therefore constrained in how we plan current production in order to avoid
exceeding this limit. Furthermore, this limitation hinders our ability to justify future
volume expansion at the facility.

Our Engineering team has assessed that in order to meet current and projected future
operations we would require a dedicated system with a capacity of 350gpm which would
remove our current constraints and clear the way for future expansion. We hope this
project would attract additional volume for our factory, which would in turn increase
water demand and investment. NWNA is willing to contribute $50,000 to the project to
assist with the funding. In this way, we hope to expand our strong partnership with the
City of Pasadena. We would like to discuss this more with your office in the near future,
we can be contacted via the phone and/or email listed below

Pasadena, TX 77506

Re: Nestle Waters, N.A. Sewer Expansion
Red Bluff Road, City of Pasadena, TX

To whom it may concern:

On behalf of the Bayport South Business Park (“Park”), the Republic Distribution Center
Property Owners Association, Inc. (“POA”) and Johnson Development Associates, Inc.
(“JDA”), please accept this letter as a formal request for the City of Pasadena Economic
Development Corporation to support and provide funding to expand the sanitary sewer
infrastructure serving Nestle Waters N.A.’s water bottling factory located at 10525 Red
Bluff Road, Pasadena, TX 77507.

Nestle Waters, N.A. has been a leading company in the City of Pasadena and in Bayport
South Business Park for almost a decade. JDA is the master developer of the Park and
manages the POA. Currently the City provides water to the Park and to Nestle, but not
sewer. Sewer is provided via a common, private lift station and sewer pipeline that serves
all Park tenants, eventually discharging to the Gulf Coast Authority Bayport Facility. Due
to the capacity constraints of the existing sewer system, Nestle Waters’ factory is currently
unable to operate at full capacity and is also unable to expand their production capacity.

JDA and Nestle Waters propose to work with the City of Pasadena Economic Development
Corporation and the City of Pasadena to design, permit and install a lift station and private
sewer force main that shall benefit Nestle Waters and allow for optimal operation of its
factory and the future expansion of new water bottling lines in the City of Pasadena. Due
to the critical nature of this sewer expansion, JDA is willing to contribute $50,000 to the
Project to assist with the funding.

If we are able work together on this, it will allow Nestle Waters to expand their current
production volumes and output and add new production lines to more efficiently operate
their factory, driving a greater investment in the City. Expanded production also means
Nestle Waters would purchase more municipal water volume from the City of Pasadena,
creating an increased income stream for the city of Pasadena

It is the hope of Nestle Waters, JDA, and the Park that this project be considered important
to the economic growth of the City and critical support of existing industry.
Timing is of the essence and we look forward to answering any questions you may have.
Thank you for your support and consideration.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Approve Funding For Costs Associated with the Fiscal Impact Analysis
Component of the City-wide Strategic Plan

SUMMARY: As previously discussed, Staff has been working with the City of Pasadena Planning
department to support a city-wide strategic plan. The Planning Department has since
executed a service agreement with consultants, Kimley Horn, to engage the community &
stakeholders in a comprehensive strategic plan. The service agreement includes an option for
a Fiscal Impact Analysis.

The Analysis will consist of a GIS based fiscal model and analysis of the City’s current
development patterns. Once contextual data is collected, the consultant team will develop
future development scenarios. The scenarios will illustrate possible future property tax revenue,
service costs, and overall fiscal health. The models will help city leaders and residents better
understand the relationship between growth and development patterns, property & sales tax
revenue, and long-term infrastructure & service costs. Importantly, this information can be
used to inform land use decisions, development incentives, capital improvements and service
delivery.

STRATEGIC PLAN JUSTIFICATION: Section 6.6- Support the City in a comprehensive planning
process to build a collective framework to guide ad shape
the community’s growth over the next 20-30 years. A
comprehensive plan would serve as the foundation for
additional policy changes, such as the City’s development
code and new land use regulations.

Section 4.4- Align EDC and City resources to accelerate
development of catalyst projects.

CURRENT ACTION: Authorize Staff to approve funding in the amount not to
exceed $150,000 for costs associated with the Fiscal Impact
Analysis, a component of the City-wide Strategic Plan.

PRIOR ACTION: City Council approved Strategic Plan for City of Pasadena at
its September 24, 2019 meeting. (Ordinance 2019-162)

PURPOSE AND NEED

The City of Pasadena, Texas (CLIENT/City) is preparing a new Strategic Plan, of which fiscal
sustainability will be a key area of focus. The City will also be making updates to the city’s
development code that will be based at least in part on the input received and decisions
made during the planning process.

The City has requested Verdunity’s assistance to develop a GIS‐ based fiscal model and
accompanying analysis of the City’s current development pattern. Once existing conditions
are modeled and discussed, Verdunity will utilize our proprietary database and context data
to project how several different future development scenarios might impact the community’s
property tax revenues, service costs, and overall fiscal health. The model and associated
analysis will help city leaders and residents to better understand the relationship between
growth and development patterns, property and sales tax revenues, and long‐ term
infrastructure and service costs. This information can then be used to inform land use and
zoning decisions, development incentives, capital improvement programs and service
delivery optimization efforts. Our ultimate goal is to provide data, maps and information in a
variety of ways that enables and empowers city leaders to align your development and
service model with what citizens are willing and able to pay for ‐ now and in the future.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Our fiscal analysis process typically consists of four phases and deliverables:

1) Existing Conditions Model: Assessment of current budget (revenues and costs) and existing
development

2) Projected Costs Model: Incorporates unfunded liabilities and projected general fund
service costs

3) Growth Scenario Projections: Date from the local model plus additional context data from
our database can be used to project how different development and redevelopment
scenarios would likely impact the community’s revenues, costs and fiscal health.

4) Gap Management Strategies and Recommendations: Once the modeling is complete,
we provide a report and presentation to summarize the process, findings and
recommendations for how to incrementally close your resource gap over time.

This proposal includes all four phases. We are proposing to complete following tasks as part
of this contract:

BASIC SERVICES

PHASE 1: BENCHMARK ANALYSIS AND EXISTING CONDITIONS MODEL ‐ Verdunity (VU) will
complete an assessment of existing conditions and prepare a summary of study findings and
recommendations in a format that can be shared with Council and the community.

1.1 Project Initiation Meetings – VU staff will come to the City to meet with staff, discuss data
needs and availability, and present an overview of our process and deliverables to Council.
Meetings will include:

 Kickoff meeting with staff
 Project briefing to City Council

1.2 Data Collection and Review – VU will obtain and review available information relevant
to the study. Where possible, we would like to receive data in electronic format, and in
particular any GIS, XLS and database files associated with infrastructure, land use and
developments. Information we would like to review will include, but not be limited to:

 Comprehensive Plan, Master Plans
 Development Regulations/Ordinances
 Developer Agreements – existing and proposed
 Budget and CAFR – last ten years (or as many as possible)
 Asset Management and CIP information – with special emphasis on any

information for existing streets
 Property Tax Data – levy data for three years (recommended years are 2010, 2015

and 2019) May require a data acquisition fee to get the levy data from the
county’s vendor.
 Information on current and planned debt obligations

1.3 Baseline Analysis – VU will utilize available data to perform an initial analysis of revenue,
service costs and debt trends. Tasks will include:

 CAFR and Budget Review – cursory review to assess the general fiscal situation,
summarize trends and identify issues and opportunities

 Revenue Analysis and Benchmarking – summarize total revenue and revenue
sources and benchmark to other communities

 Cost Analysis and Benchmarking – summarize total expenditures and cost
categories and benchmark to other communities

 Debt Analysis and Benchmarking – summarize debt usage and benchmark to
other communities

 Projected Service Cost Trend – project general fund costs using adopted planning
documents, context data from Verdunity’s database, and results from other
communities

1.4 Revenue Mapping – VU will utilize available data to map existing property tax revenues
and summarize fiscal performance for different neighborhoods and development patterns.
Tasks will include:

 Input, clean up and format tax revenue data for parcels in city limits
 Prepare 2D and 3D maps showing property tax revenue per acre (or SF) for each

year
 Prepare map showing net change between modeling years

1.5 Net Revenue Map (Budgeted Costs) – Costs from the existing General Fund budget
(services funded by property taxes) will be added to the model and a net revenue map will
be prepared showing the fiscal performance of parcels (net revenue = property tax levy
revenue less budgeted service costs). Tasks will include:

 CAFR and Budget Review – cursory review to assess the general fiscal situation,
summarize trends and identify issues and opportunities

 Identify and allocate budgeted service costs (general fund) to parcels in city limits
 Calculate net revenue and ROI (return on investment) for parcels and city overall
 Prepare 2D and 3D maps showing net revenue per acre (or SF) for each year
 Current and future land use (for undeveloped parcels)
 Current zoning districts, neighborhoods and/or other geography‐ based categories

the city is interested in assessing

PHASE 2: DEFICIT/PROJECTED COSTS MODEL – While Phase 1 will provide a deeper
understanding of the city’s current fiscal health, we believe the more critical (and
enlightening) discussion should focus on the future liabilities that cities are responsible for and
how those will be paid for. In Phase 2, the existing conditions model developed in Phase 1
will be expanded to incorporate the projected costs for street maintenance and other
services that are needed, but not currently accounted for in the budget. This model helps
understand how different development patterns perform financially when you add in the
cost to maintain/replace the infrastructure and services supporting the development. We
often refer to this as a city’s resource gap or deficit.

2.1 Service Cost and Infrastructure Replacement Projections – VU will review available data
and work with staff to estimate the age of various neighborhoods in the community and
project infrastructure replacement costs and other services that are not currently accounted
for in the budget.

 Classify areas of city by decade built
 Identify amount of existing infrastructure in each area
 Estimate replacement costs and distribute required annual savings over future

years (assume 40 yr life cycle)
 Develop roll‐ up chart that projects infrastructure replacement costs for next life

cycle

2.2 Service Cost Allocation – VU will work with staff to determine service costs and allocate
them down to the parcel level. This will be done at the most accurate level depending on
the setup of the town and available data.

 Level 1: Allocate general fund service and infrastructure replacement costs from
2.1 equally across all parcels

 Level 2: Allocate service costs to individual parcels based on proportionate area
 Level 3 (most accurate): Allocate service costs by geographic

areas/districts/service areas Includes a workshop with staff to review initial service
cost allocations, gather additional information (where available), and revise.

2.3 Net Revenue Map (Projected/Currently Unfunded Costs) – Costs from 2.2 will be allocated
down to the parcel level. Results will be added to the analysis from 1.5 to generate updated
net revenue and ROI maps that include projected costs.

2.4 Development Pattern Analysis – VU will review the models and identify trends and
takeaways for:

 The overall city
 Existing neighborhoods and/or geographic areas of the city
 Existing land uses and development patterns

PHASE 3: SCENARIO PLANNING – After baseline conditions have been established, we will
model up to three (3) future development scenarios to project how they might impact the
city’s fiscal health between now and 2050:

3.1 Scenario 1 (Status Quo) – Model continuation of current development trend and current
codes
3.2 Scenario 2 (Higher Density/Mixed‐ Use) – Model redevelopment scenario with less trucking
and diesel repair and more condos/townhomes and mixed‐ use
3.3 Scenario 3 (Low Density/Single Family) – Model redevelopment with less trucking and
diesel repair and reconstruction of housing with similar (single family) style and densities
3.4 Service Cost Allocation – VU will work with staff to determine service costs and allocate
them down to the parcel level. This will be done at the most accurate level depending on
the setup of the town and available data.

PHASE 4: GAP MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS – Once the modeling is
done, we will review the results and prepare a summary of findings and recommendations
that can be shared with Council and the community.

4.1 Gap Management Strategies – VU will review the results of the analysis of development

patterns, finances and anticipated growth projections and prepare a list of high‐ level
strategies the city might consider implementing to improve its financial strength and
resilience. Some of the options that will be considered include:

 Modifications to the city’s future land use plan, zoning and growth management
plans to improve the ROI of future development

 Modifications to design standards to minimize operation, construction and long‐
term maintenance costs

 Revisions to existing service fees and potential for additional (new) fees to
generate additional revenue

 Responsible use of debt to fund growth, quality of life amenities, and if necessary,
future maintenance (although we highly discourage this).

4.2 Prepare Summary Report and Presentation – VU will summarize findings into a concise,
easy‐ to‐ understand presentation and support documents that can be shared with elected
officials, staff, residents and developers. Deliverables will include:

 Report (PDF and MS Word) with executive summary and appendices
 Presentation
 GIS shapefiles with result fields

4.3 Presentations– VU will be available to present a summary of the study process, findings
and recommendations to staff, elected and appointed officials and the broader community,
if desired. Presentations we’ve accounted for in this proposal include:

 Review of draft report with staff
 Work/executive session with staff and council
 Presentation to council and public at a regular council meeting

EXCLUSIONS AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES
After the development and presentation of the model, analysis and recommendations,
VERDUNITY staff can be available to support the city with subsequent discussions and
applications of the model and data. Additional options that may be discussed include:

 Utilize the model and our proprietary development context data to evaluate
proposed land use or zoning changes and

 Run proformas for new development being considered in the city
 Develop infrastructure investment strategies and/or Capital Improvement Programs
 Develop economic development strategies
 Prepare a long‐ range fiscal plan and growth management policy recommendations
 Community education/outreach programs

Should the CLIENT desire additional assistance beyond this initial effort, the work and
anticipated costs will be discussed and authorized by the CLIENT prior to VERDUNITY doing
any work.

YOUR INVESTMENT

We believe investing in quantifying and communicating your resource gap and developing
a community‐wide effort to maximize the resources you have is one of the most productive
and high‐returning investments a community can make. Community leaders will gain clarity
about the relationships between development, revenue and costs and have tools to make
more informed decisions, but more importantly, you could potentially save millions.
