Council directs gas royalties to course improvements

A Royal Evening

Charter review committee planned BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Now that the payoff of the debt associated with Cross Timbers Golf Course is imminent, Azle’s city leaders took a hard look at what to do with royalties generated by natural gas operations on the property. The royalties – which are much lower than in the fi rst few years of production at the course – were dedicated solely to the reduction of the golf course debt. On Aug. 15, the council passed an ordinance terminating deposits of gas royalty payments into the Golf Course Interest and Sinking Fund. But city staff came back to the council Wednesday, Oct. 7 to ask for direction about how future royalty payments are to be used and accounted for. The Aug. 15 ordinance directs that all future royalties from the gas wells at the golf course be deposited into the city’s general fund; staff, however, recommended those payments be accounted for in the Golf Course Fund and be set aside for future improvements to the golf course, along with any funds remaining in the interest and sinking fund upon fi nal payment of the debt. To back up its request, staff produced a number of photos of damage

and erosion of the course’s parking lot, cart paths, clubhouse roof and irrigation pump. There are also those unsightly – and very smelly – portable toilets. “Probably the chief complain we get from women at the course is about the portable toilets,” Lemin said. “Ask a woman if she’d rather go into one of those or a modern one...” The silence was deafening for a moment – until City Attorney Cara White pointed out that every female in council chambers was vehemently shaking her head to indicate a “NO” answer. “Previous council – but not this one – have instructed staff to put no money into the golf course until the debt is paid,” City Manager Craig Lemin told the council. “There are signifi cant needs – items that have been neglected quite a long time due to lack of funds. Now that the debt will be retired, the gas royalties represent a stream of revenue that would be a nice and easy way to set money aside to address those needs.” Lemin also pointed to the City of Fort Worth’s Rockwood Golf Course, which will be closed soon for a $5 million remodel. “That will be good for us in the short Seniors Stephanie Lopez and Trey Ramos were crowned Azle High School 2015 Homecoming Queen and King during halftime festivities Friday, Oct. 9.

Highway 199 bridges on horizon BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN By the year 2018, it may actually become possible to drive from Azle to Lake Worth without driving on the service road or stopping at a signal light. The long-awaited overpasses spanning Hanger Cutoff Road/Tenderfoot Trail and Nine Mile Bridge Road on the Jacksboro Highway have been “placed on the cleared list and funding has been scheduled out of the 2017 Prop 1 fund,” according to Azle Mayor Pro Tem Bill Jones, who serves as Northwest Regional Representative

to the Tarrant Regional Transportation Coalition of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). “The section of Highway 199 from Nine Mile Bridge Road to Western Center Boulevard should start in 2017, and that includes both bridges,” Jones said in an email. “The section back to IH 820 has not yet been scheduled but is still in the 2040 plan.” Jones cited information from Texas Department of Transportation Fort Worth Engineer Brian Barth. According to Barth, NCTCOG is leading the study of SH 199 inside the

loop. The council went through a procurement process to hire a consultant to help them with the study, ultimately hiring the fi rm of Freese & Nichols (F&N). F&N and the NCTCOG are currently fi nalizing scope and completing negotiations, Barth said. “SH 199 from Western Center Boulevard to Nine Mile Bridge Road is shovel ready and we are planning to let that in FY 2017 using Proposition 1 funding,” Barth said in an email. “The bigger corridor back to IH 820 will be added to Mobility 2040 (the Region’s Long Range Plan) so that we can re-

‘Shovel-ready’ project set to begin in 2017 – or sooner

Three people were injured Saturday, Oct. 10, in a crash in the 600 block of Boyd Road. John Clifton Watkins, 55, of Weatherford, was driving a silver 2015 Volkswagen Passat with a passenger, 53-yearold Cheryl D. Watkins, southbound in the right lane. Breeana Lynn Boepple, 26, of Grand Prairie, was northbound in a white 2001 Ford F Series pickup and was attempting to turn left. With traffi c at the intersection of Boyd Road and SH 199 backed up, other drivers created a gap for Boepple to turn through – but she did not see the Watkins’ and they did not see her until the two vehicles collided. All three were transported to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital PLEASE SEE VOTERS, PAGE 2A. Azle with non-life-threatening injuries. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

term, but very bad in the long term,” Lemin said. He added that since the city took over management of Cross Timbers in 2005, it’s had “up” years as well as “down” years; but the excess revenues from profitable years carried the course through the years when the operation lost money. “We’ve not had to add to it in years when it was down,” Lemin said. Assistant City Manager Lawrence Bryant added that the course is breaking even so far this year, in spite of a high number of bad weather days due to spring rains. Mayor Alan Brundrett expressed his preference that the royalty money go into a fund for all city parks, and that the golf course and other parks petition for money from that fund as needed. “Let’s remember the golf course owes the general fund a lot of money,” Brundrett said. “I don’t want to set a precedent for the future that keeps parks from getting any money.” Council member Paul Crabtree reminded Brundrett that anything the council does today, it can undo tomorrow. Council member David McClure called the issue a “no brainer.” Faced with a Drinking Problem? Perhaps Alcoholics Anonymous can help.

Council member Rouel Rothenberger said he felt it’s important to make it known if repairs are made at Cross Timbers. “Golfers have a choice, and they will choose to go elsewhere if we don’t take care of it.” In the end, Brundrett conceded to the consensus of the council and agreed to redirect royalty payments into a fund for golf course improvements. “But I want to see a future agenda item to set money aside for parks,” Brundrett said. Charter review looms Per a previous request from council, White presented results of a legal review of the city of Azle’s charter performed by her firm, Taylor, Olsen, Adkins, Sralla and Elam (TOASE). Most of the changes suggested by TOASE are only to “clean up,” delete outdated items and bring others in line with state law, White told the council. White reminded council members that in order to ac-

complish changes to the charter, a charter review committee must be appointed, and a ballot item is required by state law for every change. “It’s conceivable to have a significant number of ballot items,” White said. “Some can be grouped together, and we will suggest ballot language for you. The benefit of having a Home Rule Charter (like Azle’s) is that it’s your constitution,” White said. “If state law doesn’t address (a subject), you’re in charge,” Lemin added. By consensus, council members agreed that it’s time to move forward with a charter review. According to Azle’s current charter, each council member will appoint a citizen to the charter review committee at a future meeting. The earliest date at which a charter election could be held is in May 2016 – and that’s only if both the council and the members of the proposed charter review committee act quickly.

Azle Head Start now enrolling

October Rotary students excel in, out of school

Wednesday, October 14, 2015

Under management of Texas Neighborhood Services Texas Neighborhood Services (TNS), a non-profit organization founded in 1965, has announced the reopening of the Azle Head Start center. Located at 1325 Southeast Parkway, Azle Head Start closed over the summer when Child Care Associates of Fort Worth discontinued the program. Now operating under the management of TNS, the Azle Head Start center is currently enrolling qualifying children from Parker, Wise, and parts of Tarrant County who turned the age of 3 or 4 by Sept. 1. TNS has a well-established reputation for enhancing the lives of children and families through its comprehensive child and family development program, which serves pregnant women, children from birth to age 5 and their families in nine counties who meet the federal guidelines. Beginning in September, TNS services expanded to include a portion of Tarrant County to serve children ages 3 -4. TNS Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the mental, social, and emotional development of children from birth to age 5. In addition to education services, programs provide children and their families with health, nutrition, social, and other services. Head Start and Early Head Start services are responsive to each child and family’s ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. • Head Start encourages the role of parents as their children’s first and most important teachers. Programs build relationships with families that support positive parent-child relationships, family well-being, and connections to peers and community. Head Start also relies on its long-standing community relationships to provide services. • Early Head Start serves pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. Early Head Start programs are available to the family until the child turns 3 years old and is ready to transition into Head Start. Early Head Start helps families care for their infants and toddlers through early, continuous, intensive, and comprehensive services. For more information on services and eligibility requirements, please call 817-237-2000 or 817-598-5700 to work with an enrollment specialist. Texas Neighborhood Services’ Head Start/Early Head Start program gets federal funding along with local support including funding from United Way. Contact Barbara Morris, Azle Center Manager and Educational Leader for more information at 817-237-2000, or stop by Azle Head Start between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Phoning it in: Tidbits from the ‘notes’ of 2015

ccasionally, I hear something cool and I type it in the notes section of my phone. It might be something from TV or a book or song or sermon or just something overheard. Last Thanksgiving, I wrote a column about 2014’s collections. Here’s what’s ended up in the phone this year: Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:27. Of course this is true but those of us who want everybody happy can just flip the worry switch off. The tyranny of the urgent. The tyranny of talent. Don’t know why I wrote these down. Last November, I had “the tyranny of numbers” – must have a thing about the word tyranny.

to read a fake rap song by a 59-yearold grandpa? (My rapper name is MC White Bread). Didn’t happen – yet, yo. You can drift or you can swim. ON YOUR I heard this MARK at church, but it fits just Mark K. Campbell about everything when it comes to getting off your behind and getting going. Houston is the boob job capital of the planet with 350,000. How could I not write that down? There’s an “Alaska triangle” – like the Bermuda Triangle – where

When something stays with you for 40 years – a memory or a person – it’s the real deal. I don’t know where this came from; in fact, it might be my own since I was probably scrounging for something deep for the Bride’s 40th wedding anniversary last summer. Only walls are holding me in. This was from an episode of The Mentalist. For some reason, that resonated that night. The Who didn’t sell out. I figured if I wrote a column about The Who concert I attended last June, this was a witty headline since they had an album call The Who Sell Out. I didn’t write that column, though. Divisive/devices. I thought this would be a groovy odd rhyme if I ever got back to writing a fake rap song about…something. Because who doesn’t want

20,000 people have disappeared. I did not know this, and, with man-eating bears lurking up there every 20 feet, it’s just another reason to avoid visiting that frozen tundra. You determine what you are by what you do. Church. If you want your needs met, meet someone else’s. Church, again. The one clothing item homeless people need most socks. That makes sense when you think about it. “Hubristic justice.” Once a guy got towed and wrote a Cheers and Jeers section of the Star-Telegram about being towed, swearing that the towing company would one day pay for its hubristic injustice. I had never seen those two words together before, and it cracked me up.

Around $700,000 in loose change is left every year at airport security checkpoints. I found that amazing – and it explains why TSA workers are so intent on swapping those plastic containers so often. There’s some big money there! In September 1980, 11 songs in the Top 40 were from movies, the highest ever. Last week I mentioned how I’m relentlessly listening to Classic American Top 40 shows from the 1970s and 80s and this tidbit came from there. It’s rare these days, but “Let it Go” from Frozen was huge. The duller the ax, the harder the work. Ecclesiastes 10:10. So true. That Bible has it goin’ on when it comes to words to live by. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and he can go a few years before hearing “Let it Go” again; even his granddaughters aren’t that cute.

Azle Opry and Clay Cooper:

ome of the readers of this column may have traveled to Branson, Mo. this past summer. Back in May three friends and I spent three days attending shows there. Previously, I wrote a column about College of the Ozarks, which is only five or six miles down the road from Branson. Another idea for a column resulting from that trip is about a singer whose show we attended: Clay Cooper. My friend Nola always organizes the Branson trips, made up of four ladies who met because we all are ga-ga over the singing group Il Divo. Once we expressed interest in the trip, our second together to Branson, Nola reserved all the tickets two months in advance. She always requests them in the center of the front row and plans trips for family and other friends too. She knows that many of the stars will leave the stage and come down with their microphone and talk and shake hands with four or five people on row one. Clay Cooper did that the day we

attended his show. "Where are you from?" he asked Irene, my friend two seats down. "Dallas," she said. She's really from Rowlett, but apparently figured Clay Cooper and the audience from all over might not know where Rowlett was. Moving on down the row and skipping Nola, he stopped in front of me. Later I realized that Nola had seen his show so much, and visited as he talked to patrons in the lobby after each show, that he already knew her anyway. "Where are you from?" he asked me. "Fort Worth," I said, following Irene's lead. Then I thought to add quickly, "Azle, actually." "Azle," he said. "I've been to Azle. I sang in this place off Main Street that had all these washers and dryers and people sat all over them. I was a teenager. Is that place still there?" "We call it the Azle Opry. I think it's still there. They took out all the washers and dryers and put in seats, though." (I thought to myself, "small world!")

the show as well as Colt, who began performing at 18 months. Cooper calls his show Clay Cooper's Country Express, and it actually is a variety show with comedy, singing and dancing. He has a cast of 24 entertainers. There's even a trick roper. When Cooper first performed in Branson, it was with a band called the Texas Goldminers, and he was only sixteen. I hope readers don't think of this solely as a plug for his show, although it was a good show. I only wrote about him because of the coincidence that he had once sung in Azle at the Azle Opry, and that I thought to mention Azle when he was standing in front of me. I wasn't positive that the Azle Opry was still going after the death of Marshall Holmes, who began it in his washateria in 1963; therefore, I contacted his wife Vonnie who referred me to their daughter Linda Wilson. She said, "Yes, it's still going," and that it probably was the early 1990s when they took out the washers and dryers and just

turned the building over to having the Opry on Friday nights at 7. It has been a place to encourage young talent like Clay Cooper of Wylie, Tx., who went on to have a successful career. Linda recalled other singers beside Cooper who became well-known who also sang at the Azle Opry, Steve Mitchell, Joe Paul Nichols and Randy Elmore among others. My friend Nola's practice of sitting on the front row, and my split second thought of tossing in "Azle" (even though most people in the crowd wouldn't have heard of it) just sort of happened. Isn't it neat when those unexpected "small world" moments occur? Clay Cooper, I'm glad your teenage visit to the Azle Opry on your way up in your career played some small role in helping you along.

BP settles with 5 states, federal government

P, one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, has settled with the federal government and the states of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida over claims related to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality announced on Oct. 5 that Texas stands to receive $800 mil lion of the $20.8 billion settlement “to restore Gulf resources with portions dedicated to the coastal economy as well as restoration projects to address damage to natural resources.” “When we include money from previous settlements with these new funds, Texas will have more than $1 billion to fund projects that restore and enhance the Texas Gulf coast and mitigate economic impacts of this disaster,” said TCEQ Commissioner Toby Baker. U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Paul Zukunft said the settlement “ensures that BP repays the government for its costs in responding to the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. The historic civil penalty also sends a clear message of accountability for those who pollute the U.S. environment.”

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil suit against BP and several affiliates, and proved the spill was caused by BP’s gross negligence. Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi STATE and Texas also filed civil claims CAPITAL against BP relatHIGHLIGHTS ing to the spill, including claims Ed Sterling for economic losses and natural resource damages. Sales tax revenue up Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on Oct. 7 announced that sales tax revenue for the state in September was $2.2 billion, up 1.9 percent compared to Sep tember 2014. However, the $616.2 million in local sales tax allocations for October to be sent to cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts represent a decrease of 0.9 percent com pared to October 2014.

“The modest growth in state sales tax revenue, in line with the Biennial Revenue Estimate issued in January, continues the trend of recent months. Stronger growth in collections from the retail trade, restaurant, services and construction sectors offset declines from the oil and gas-related industries,” Hegar explained. Abbott announces grants Gov. Greg Abbott on Oct. 2 announced the award of some $133 million in criminal justice and victim services grants to local law enforcement agencies, domestic violence shelters, child sex trafficking victims programs and other governmental and non-profit agencies across Texas. According to the announcement, grants include state and federal funds administered by the Criminal Justice Division of the Governor’s Office and are part of the Governor’s efforts to implement his “Bicentennial Blueprint” policy plans for the state. “Nothing is more important than ensuring the safety of all Texans,” Abbott said. These new grant awards for services and organizations were established “to go beyond simply providing shelter for

victims of domestic violence, but also assist the victims in filing police reports, obtaining emergency protection orders and prosecuting their abusers,” according to the Governor’s Office.

Azle earns 27-23 Homecoming victory Swanzy By Edwin nEwton A loud and raucous Homecoming crowd was treated to a hard-fought 2723 Azle Hornet win over district foe Wichita Falls Friday night. Although he acknowledged the fan support, Hornets head coach Devon Dorris was just glad to get through a week of pleasant distractions with a much-needed win – tonic to a tough 35-27 loss against Saginaw High the week before. “It was a tough week,” Dorris said. “That Saginaw loss was on our minds. We felt we should have won that game if we had played more disciplined football.” Friday night’s contest was all about a defense that refused to break and an offense that did just enough when it counted. The Hornets broke out on top early, with runningback Chase Smith plunging through from the right side with about 5 minutes to go in the first quarter. Then Bryce Gum made a nice run around the right end to set up the touchdown. But the Wichita Falls Coyotes let it

be known that this wasn’t going to be easy. Runningback Stephen Gaines, running through and around the Hornet defense, scored from 14 yards out. The extra point missed, leaving it 7-6 in favor of Azle. Moments later, Azle struck again, as Sean Townsend took the kickoff and outran the defense for a 95-yard line score. A field goal by the Coyotes made it 14-9 in favor of Azle. Azle scored again. An unsportsmanlike penalty against the Coyotes put the ball at the 11 yard line. A run by Smith set up a point blank touchdown plunge from Azle quarterback Nick Davis. Yet Gaines wasn’t done, scoring again from 25 yards out just before the half to cut Azle’s lead to 21-15. Dorris said Azle needed to make some defensive changes at halftime. Of course, he had to wait for Ramos, one of his key defensivebacks, to get back from Homecoming festivities so he could hear the changes. “You’ve just got to embrace it,” Dorris said of the goodnatured distractions. Those changes helped keep Gaines somewhat at bay in the second half. For the game, Hornet T. J. Buenos-

tro – this week’s “Defensive Player of the Week” – had two interceptions and seven tackles. Ramos had a critical interception late. Linebacker Seth Bell had 16 tackles. Devon lauded his team’s ability to make several defense stops with the game in the balance. The Coyotes had five second-half possessions inside Hornet territory, but only scored once. The Hornets threw two interceptions late to make things interesting. “We didn’t make it easy on ourselves,” Dorris said. Yet the offense did just enough. A long Hornet drive that began at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarter churned up several valuable minutes. The Hornets didn’t score on that drive, but Gaines and company didn’t have the ball and thus couldn’t score either. The Coyotes did score again on a 5-yard pass from quarterback Jonathan Campbell to receiver Jordan Hatton – but that was with only 35 seconds left and the game basically decided. The Hornets scored their final points on a 6-yard run by Smith. At 2-1 in district play, the Hornets

takes 1st spot in contest

are in a good place – but with no room to relax, Dorris said. “This was a very important game,” he said. “But every game is going to be like the first three (close).” Next week’s opponent, Chisholm Trail, is a much improved team, Dorris said. “They’re a physical team – a big offensive line and a big defensive line,” he said. “And they’ve got some athletes to get the ball to.” It’s so much better to go into the game on the heels of a much needed win – and in front of the hometown Homecoming crowd to boot, Dorris said. “We’ve got some things to work on,” he said. “Every district game is important. You have to stack up the wins.” The Hornets’ Davis completed 6 of 12 passes for 41 yards and ran for 81 more. Gum, Ramos and Justin Miller combined for the six catches. Smith, the Hornet’s “Offensive Player of the Week,” finished with 132 yards on 20 carries. Townsend was Dorris’ “Special Teams Player of the Week” for his key runback.

For the second week in a row, Margaret Swanzy of Springtown earned cash in the weekly football contest. Swanzy missed only one game in this week's contest and earned a $20 1st place check in a tiebreaker with two others. Swanzy guessed 52 as the final total score for this week's Texas 24, Oklahoma 17 (41) game. Swanzy took second place in last week's contest. Another family member, Eddy Swanzy, took second place by way of his tiebreaker score of 62. Swanzy earns the $10 second place prize. Third place went to Kyle Betz of Weatherford who also missed only one game and had a tiebreaker score of 79. Betz takes home $5. All three winners incorrectly picked Oklahoma to beat Texas.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, October 14, 2015

11A

The Intern: shines early but then it’s no sale The Movie Man had planned on going to see Pan this week, but that did not occur because of circumstances beyond his control. So he dropped back a little to catch The Intern which is a bummer because Pan would've been fun to talk about since it's one of the big failures of the year. Well, let's talk a little about it anyway.

million in the U.S., it's unlikely to recoup its $150 million overseas with this subject matter: foreign sci-fi fans made up a big chunk of the Jupiter Ascending deficit, but fantasy is more iffy. Pan is getting panned from every direction. Moviegoers, critics, Native American groups (who complained of a white woman in a "color" role), and even from an online adoption group, saying it demeans parentless children. Nancy Meyers does not have to worry about bottom lines. The Intern is performing OK -- but not like her other upscale, glitzy, frothy movies like Something’s Gotta Give (2003, with a great performance by Diane Keaton, $124.6 million) and It’s Complicated (2009, $112.7 million). She directed one big hit, What Women Want (2000, $182.8 million [back when Mel Gibson was still red hot]). The Intern, now at around $55 million, won't reach those lofty levels, but it will approach making back double on its $35 million budget. Not bad.

About The Film There have been four bigbudget movies that have been true misfi res so far this year:Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrowland, Fantastic Four, and now Pan. Each has a slightly different story. Jupiter Ascending arrived with bad buzz, and, like Pan, its release date got bumped around, a bad sign. The sci-fi premise -- courtesy of the Wachowski brothers -- scared normal moviegoers away. Made for $176 million, it took in just $47.4 million in America. Tomorrowland did better and was not a true dud. But hopes were certainly higher for it. The movie hardly tanked with a box offi ce take of $93.4 million; The Plot (spoiler) Ben (Robert De Niro) is a however it cost $190 million to make.

While De Niro has only barely mentioned his late wife, clearly this song had some connection to her. His eyes well up and so do plenty in the audience.

UT Southwestern, Texas Health plan network System aims to improve patient experience and increase access to specialized care The UT System Board of Regents today approved the creation of an integrated regional health network (Integrated Network) including the UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Resources (Texas Health) systems. Approval had previously been granted to Texas Health by its board. The new Integrated Network, to be named Southwestern Health Resources, leverages the strengths of two local health care systems to provide increased access to primary care and specialized care for the people of North Texas. Plans call for the Integrated Network to include 27 hospitals throughout North Texas, as well as an expansive network of physicians (UTSW faculty, Texas Health employed, university-affi liated and independent) from both organizations. The network represents the next step in a long history of cooperation between UT Southwestern and Texas Health. As envisioned, the Integrated Network is expected to improve the quality of care and enhance the effi ciency of providing health services to North Texans. The Integrated Network will enable hospitals and physicians to work together, using common health profi les so that each person receives quality care at the most appropriate location. It will also create increased access to clinical trials and medical specialists, as well as opportunities to expand medical education and research initiatives. “This joint effort will help both organizations better serve North Texas through integration and innovation,” said Dr. Daniel K. Podolsky, President of UT Southwestern. “Our organizations are committed to continuous improvement in the quality and safety of the care we provide, while mindful that society is increasingly and appropriately demanding accountability and transparency in the use of resources and value created for the patient and other

stakeholders. “We at UTSW believe we also have a special responsibility for driving the translation of scientifi c advances and innovation into better care for patients, he continued. “Southwestern Health Resources will include an integrated, coordinated network of nearly 3,000 physicians that can provide the communities of our region the full continuum of care, from prevention and health management to highly specialized care in state-of-the-art facilities.” “Both organizations share a strong commitment to improving well-being and providing the best possible care for patients at every stage of their life’s journey,” said Barclay Berdan, FACHE, CEO of Texas Health Resources. “We expect the new network will help improve quality and enhance affordability during a time when patients, insurers, and other payers are increasingly sensitive to health care costs. “It will enable physicians from UTSW, Texas Health Physicians Group and independent practices the opportunity to come together in a high-performing, clinically integrated care model, governed and led by physicians,” he continued. “But most importantly, this supports our shared mission of improving the health of the people in the communities we serve.” Specifi cally, the Integrated Network is expected to offer several key advantages for patients: Integrated Continuum of Physician-Driven Care: UT Southwestern’s network of faculty and community-based physicians will work together with Texas Health’s employed physicians and independent physicians affi liated with both organizations to deliver the highest quality and most cost-effective care through this Integrated Network comprised of both primary care physicians and experienced specialty care physicians working in an expanded 16-county area.

Azle leads area in sales tax BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The cities of Sanctuary and Azle, along with Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District and its Municipal Development District, continue to show encouraging increases in sales tax revenue compared with revenues in 2014. The city of Pelican Bay and the town of Lakeside have recorded some decreases, while the cities of Springtown and Reno are holding their own in spite of a dip in monthly revenue. Allocations are based on monthly sales made in August by businesses that report tax monthly. Municipalities and special purpose districts received those allocations in October. The city of Azle’s October revenue of $179,758 is up 6.20 percent from $169,263 in October 2014, and its year-to-date

revenue is up 4.94 percent over the same period last year. Azle’s CCPD is up 5.83 percent for October with $34,281 compared with $32,391 in October 2014. The district is up 7.29 percent over this time in 2014. Azle’s MDD recorded $34,454 for October, up 4.02 percent from $33,121 for October 2014. The MDD is up 15.27 percent on the year. In Sanctuary, October revenue of $1,336 is 4.05 percent higher than the $1,284 it collected in October 2014, and the city’s year-to-date revenue is up 15.98 percent over last year. The city of Springtown remains up 15.64 percent over 2014 levels in spite of a decrease of 6.53 percent for October. Its October revenue of $83,906 is lower than its October 2014 revenue of $89,772. It’s a similar story in Reno, where year-to-date revenues

are up 29.03 over last year; however, October revenue of $6,651 are 6.09 percent less than October 2014 revenue of $7,083. The tale continues in Parker County, which saw October revenues of $557,663, 2.18 percent less than October 2014 revenue of $570,138. But the county’s year-to-date revenue is 4.01 percent more than at the end of the fi rst 10 months of 2014. The city of Pelican Bay recorded October revenue of $1,471, down 1.34 percent from October 2014 revenue of $1,491; the city’s year-to-date revenue is down 2.83 percent from the same time period in 2014. The town of Lakeside also recorded both monthly and yearto-date decreases in sales tax revenue. It recorded $10,018 for October, 7.11 percent less than October 2014 revenue of $10,785 and remains down 15.15 percent year-to-date. Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar sent cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $616.2 million in local sales tax allocations for October, which represents a decrease of 0.9 percent compared to October 2014.

Hegar also said today that sales tax revenue for the state in September was $2.2 billion, up 1.9 percent compared to September 2014. “The modest growth in state sales tax revenue, in line with the Biennial Revenue Estimate

issued in January, continues the trend of recent months,” Hegar said. “Stronger growth in collections from the retail trade, restaurant, services and construction sectors offset declines from the oil and gas-related industries.”

This connection will enable patients throughout North Texas to continue valued relationships with their local physicians, while benefi ting from increased scale and access to an expanded group of acute-care physicians. Integrated Hospital Network: The 27-hospital network will focus on delivering coordinated care through UT Southwestern’s two university hospitals and Texas Health Resource’s 25 community hospitals. A key component of this network will be a new organization (a Joint Operating Company) formed to bring together the three Dallas hospitals – UTSW’s William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital and Zale Lipshy University Hospital, and THR’s Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. This organization will provide patients unprecedented access to care for their specific needs regardless of their location. UT Southwestern’s patient care, education, and research missions will remain under its ultimate control, and the Integrated Network will in fact provide expanded opportunities for teaching and clinical research. Texas Health Resources will provide signifi cant support for expansion of UT Southwestern’s academic initiatives as part of the overall affiliation between the two organizations. The Integrated Network will not alter UT Southwestern’s commitment to its partnership with Parkland Memorial Hospital or its other relationships, including those with Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The new network will not utilize any state funds provided to UT Southwestern. Although UT Southwestern is a state institution, neither its state appropriation nor funds provided by the UT System to UT Southwestern are used in direct support of its clinical facilities or services.
