In 2011, Rowlett adopted its comprehensive land use plan. The plan was designed to create a vision to make Rowlett “a community with diverse lifestyle choices for living, working, playing and learning”. 5
Comprehensive Land Use Plan In just five years, we have major projects in every quadrant of the City and nearly every strategically defined opportunity area. Rowlett is “realizing” its vision as a “community with diverse lifestyle choices”. What an amazing time to live in Rowlett. 6
City has issued 2,044 building permits with a construction value of $59.7 million! That’s a lot of building! 8
We are very proud of the strategic partnerships we have in Rowlett! Our sincerest thanks to the organizations that help make us Rowlett Strong! Community Churches 9
Good News! Even with a 9.7% increase in assessed valuation, last year was not the right year to reduce the tax rate. We needed to reach the point where we can fund approximately $10.5 million annually for streets and alleys and we needed time to have some of the new development hit the tax rolls. However, FY2018 is a good place in our history to make the first cut in the tax rate. We expect to receive another 11.4% increase in assessed tax values “and” many of the projects that were about to start last year have now started and are going vertical. This is the right year to have this conversation. The FY2018 Proposed Budget includes a recommendation to reduce the property tax rate by one cent, from $0.787173 to $0.777173 per $100 in taxable value! 10

What does this mean to Rowlett? Over time, this level of growth: • provides a sufficient income stream to meet existing needs and new community amenities while building a more sustainable future; and • diversifies the housing stock which will help maintain property values in future Alley improvements recessions and types of markets; and • provides the ability to provide additional dollars for infrastructure and to issue more bonds in the future without increasing the tax rate; and • provides a sufficient income stream to seriously consider reducing the property tax rate in the future; and Housing diversity • provides the opportunity to reduce unsold water under the North Texas Municipal Water Districts (NTMWD) take-or-pay agreement and, perhaps even reduce the rates and fees charged to our customers in the future. 12 Park improvements

Cost of Turnover In the past two years, Rowlett has lost 124 employees. At $4,129 per employee, the cost of recruiting is about $512,000. More importantly, the lost productivity during the hiring period (i.e. average of 42 days) without those employees is 5,208 days, the equivalent of 14.3 full- time employees. n=# of respondents Even just the cost of hiring can be expensive. The estimate for the hiring process from the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) is an average of 42 days at a cost of $4,129 per hire. However, this cost does not include the loss of institutional knowledge or the time to outfit and train a new employee. A police officer alone can take 9-12 months before they are able to patrol independently. 22

So, financially speaking, have things changed for the better? Absolutely! The level of growth will bring new challenges; however, it also provides significant opportunities to address existing needs over time. 28
Bayside and Public Safety Bayside is a real boon for the City of Rowlett and will generate nearly $8.2 million in annual tax revenues upon full build out (10 years). The two most significantly impacted departments will be Police and Fire. The type and nature of the building structures, the sheer density and ultimately, entertainment venues, will require a significant presence from both agencies. 29
Bayside and Public Safety Points of Interest: Resort: 500 rooms Marina: 1,000 slips Luxury Multi-Family Units: 1,718 units Condo Tower: 20-22 stories Condos and Townhomes: 350 units Crystal Lagoon: 8 Acres Convention Center: 100,000 sq ft • This area will be densely populated. • Interstate 30 effects response. • Developer is making space for a new fire station as part of a parking garage. • Location of Fire Station could have a direct impact on ISO Rating 30
Bayside and Public Safety Ultimately, this means a new fire station and additional police presence. A new fire station will cost nearly $3.0M and the annual recurring costs could range from $1.8M to $2.8M depending upon whether or not we have a single or dual company house. In addition, early estimates indicate we could need around twelve new police officers. We do not yet know the optimal setup to serve Bayside. Its character, density, and amenities are truly unique and requires the City to continue its evaluation to determine the right response. 31

Infrastructure Major improvements to water and sewer lines, lift stations and pump stations are necessary for the foreseeable future.
