Sugar Land tightens its belt — literally Early voting in progress for state

By SESHADRI KUMAR The City of Sugar Land seems to be taking the revenue shortage so seriously that it is really “tightening the belt.”

First thing first. The meal that councilmembers get during city council meetings is the right place to start.

On the day city council was to adopt the proposed budget cuts, council members received an email form the city manager saying that the city would not get dinner catered from a restaurant as usual and to save costs, it will get fast food.

It is not clear how much the city saved by this belly tightening measure in a $91 million operational budget.

Next, the city slashed the usual muffin breakfast served during the quarterly Homeowners Association meeting.

Of course, the infamous city pool closure proposal, designed to save $40,000 was promptly rescinded after receiving a mouthful from parents and children who patronized the 47-year-old swimming pool, the home of Sugar Land Sharks.

As luck would have it, the previous Friday, a vacancy arose in the city’s public works department and the city manager promptly allocated the $90,000 saving to the pool operation as well as to perform needed repairs.

The budget crisis was ostensibly caused by three councilmembers Mary Joyce, Amy Mitchell and Carol McCutcheon, who opposed the proposed tax rate of 32.233 cents for $100 valuation, which represented 3% more than the effective tax rate. In other words, it would have increased the tax rate by 0.638 cents.

If the three council members had stood their ground, the tax rate would have remained flat at 31.595 cents.

But, McCutcheon proposed much lesser increase and a tax rate of 31.762 cents was adopted. That marked a 0.167 cent increase in tax rate.

The city would have received $600,000 less from property taxes in the general fund than planned in the budget due to the adoption of a tax rate of 31.762 cents.

So, one would have thought

the city could easily find $600,000 in a $90 million operational budget. Instead of spreading the $600,000 cut across the board, which would have affected the departments very minimally, the administration chose some targeted cuts, namely recurring in nature.

In their words, they kept the “needs,” and cut the “wants.”

If the administration limited itself to the anticipated cuts worth $600,000 to balance the budget, the unfilled vacancies and the cancellation of the state of the city address, the calendar, Sugar Land Magazine and the like would have sufficed. Few would have felt the impact.

A Sugar Land resident, Syed Kareem, said in an email to the city and council members: “Making cuts that are the most easily identifiable by the general public almost seems retaliatory for not getting the tax increases requested.”

Martha Adkison wrote on the city’s Facebook page: “Thanks for listening...but here’s an idea...next time, instead of trying to ram a budget cut through, giving the public 33 hours notice and creating unnecessary fear, fury, and tears in the eyes of children of a recreational swim team, how about doing a bit more due diligence to your job. It should not take the tears of children and a swim team to educate our public officials.”

The sentiment was widely prevalent and certainly among the three councilmembers who opposed the tax rate hike.

Joyce did not mince her words and agreed with Sugar Land residents who felt that the cuts were retaliatory.

“We did not vote for a tax increase. We faced a lot of backlash,” Joyce told the audience at the Oct. 17 city council meeting.

“All of a sudden the sky is falling...desperate times..is it really that bad? she asked about the city painting a bleak financial picture.

Alluding to the suggested pool closure, Joyce recalled the city’s donation to the Texas State Technical College in Rosenberg.

“We sent $100,000 to Rosenberg. Let’s get it back,” she said

rhetorically.

Instead of the projected $600,000 cut, if the city adopts $1.8 million cut in general budget and $34 million in capital projects, saying it is your fault; you did not vote for the tax increase, Joyce said: “Go ahead and blame me. I am not voting for a budget with so much cuts.”

Mitchell too questioned the rationale behind the steep cuts, especially in cutting the animal shelter and emergency operation center, directly linked to the upcoming annexation of New Territory and Greatwood.

City Manager Allen Bogard said the city had adequate funds to meet the obligations arising out of the annexation. But, there is no debt capacity with the reduced tax rate to fund the capital projects. He hoped the problem would be tackled next year.

Bogard said he would not expect the city council to sit idle over the next 5 years, not approve the necessary tax increase and watch the city streets and infrastructure crumble.

Mitchell, at this point, asked Bogard if he was teaching them a lesson.

Bogard said, “ No. I don’t appreciate that. That is not me.”

His point was that he was merely showing the debt capacity was inadequate due to the lower tax rate.

McCutcheon was not far behind. She questioned the need for allocating money for Harvey relief projects,while a study would be appropriate this year and if any project is needed at all, that would be in future years.

McCutcheon said: I don’t think we should cut core events that our citizens really enjoy and that make our citizens proud. I disagree with eliminating the Fourth of July Celebration. The City spent $11.3 million on phase 2 of the Brazos River Park so more people could attend the event. This past July 4th, I was told that about 25,000 people attended.

After a significant investment like this, it doesn’t make sense to shut it down after the festival site has only been used once for this celebration. Plus, July 4th fireworks is a 32-year tradition here in Sugar Land.”

See TIGHT, page 3

Following is the official statement from Sugar Land’s communication department: City Council recently approved more than $1.5 million in reductions to the fiscal year 2018 budget, cuts needed to address lower than budgeted sales tax - particularly in the oil and gas related business sectors - and property tax revenues.

The budget amendment focused on prioritizing “needs” versus “wants” in an effort to minimize the impact to the

city’s core services. Identified items were selected based on their recurring nature, supporting the city’s financial resiliency and balanced budget.

Reductions include the elimination of three full-time positions; a reduction in merit-based salary increases; elimination of the printing and mailing of the quarterly newsletter, Sugar Land Today, and the city calendar; reductions in street sweeping, mulching and fertilizing of bed plantings in roadway medians, and tractor mowing along

roadways; cancellation of the city-funded New Years’ Eve and Star Spangled Spectacular events; reduction of services in parks and restructuring the senior holiday gala event; and others. Based on widespread community input, however, City Manager Allen Bogard recommended removing the closure of the city pool from recommended budget cuts.

“We heard from the community, and we listened,” said Bogard.

City Council approves budget cuts, keeps city pool open

constitutional amendments and local bond elections

By SESHADRI KUMAR Early voting for the Nov. 7 general election has begun.

The ballot has statewide Constitutional amendments and local school bonds and county mobility bonds.

All Fort Bend County voters vote on the state constitutional amendments and county mobility bond, while Lamar CISD and Katy ISD have their school bond elections.

Fort Bend ISD does not have a bond election this time.

However, Missouri City has a special election for charter amendments and general election for one district council seat.

The seven constitutional amendments on the ballot are: The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the residence homestead of a partially disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization for less than the market value of the residence homestead and harmonizing certain related provisions of the Texas Constitution.

2)Amendment to establish a lower amount for expenses that can be charged to a borrower and removing certain financing expense

limitations for a home equity loan, establishing certain authorized lenders to make a home equity loan, changing certain options for the refinancing of home equity loans, changing the threshold for an advance of a home equity line of credit, and allowing home equity loans on agricultural homesteads.”

3) Amendment limiting the service of certain officeholders appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate after the expiration of the person’s term of office.

4) Amendment authorizing the legislature to require a court to provide notice to the attorney general of a challenge to the constitutionality of a state statute and authorizing the legislature to prescribe a waiting period before the court may enter a judgment holding the statute unconstitutional.

5) Amendment on professional sports team charitable foundations conducting charitable raffles.

6) Amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a first responder who is killed or fatally injured in the line of duty and 7) Amendment relating to legislative authority to permit credit unions and other financial institutions to award prizes by lot to promote savings.

Fort Bend County is asking for voters’ approval of a $218.5 million mobility bond and the county promises that this will be accomplished with no tax rate increase.

The bond plan calls for 63 countywide mobility projects.

The bond funds will be leveraged with federal, state, local and private partners to provide a total of $388.2 million to address the county’s mobility priorities.

How the money would be spent Precinct 1 • Bonds $55,210,000 • 18 Projects • Leverage $82,267,900 • Total Benefits $137,477,800 Major Projects: • FM 521 - 4-lane concrete boulevard; •Ransom Road; •BryanRoad •Old Needville Fairchild Road Precinct 2 • Bonds $55,410,000 •16 projects • Leverage $40,357,100 • Total Benefits $95,967, 100 Major Projects: • Bellaire Boulevard • West Airport Blvd • Watts Plantation Road • Chimney Rock Road Precinct 3 • Bonds $59,510,000 •12 projects • Leverage $29,994,200 •Total Benefits $88,504,200 Major Projects: • Cane Island Parkway See BONDS, Page 3

Vacek degree he began a private law practice in a firm in which he became a senior partner.

The firm grew to eighteen lawyers and a clerical staff of fifty employees. He later became the managing partner of a firm of five lawyers. He was then appointed as judge of the 400th District Court of Fort Bend County where he served for over ten years before retiring.

Vacek says “I believe that I am the most qualified candidate for this office and I look forward

to the opportunity to serve the people of Fort Bend County as their District Attorney.”

Vacek has presided over hundreds of criminal jury trials, including a death penalty case and to his knowledge not a single criminal jury verdict has been overturned on appeal, something that makes him very proud. He has considered and either approved or rejected thousands of criminal pleas, search and arrest warrants, and grand jury subpoenas.

He has qualified and impaneled numerous grand juries and answered questions they may have had about their duties and obligations.

Vacek says,“The prosecution of criminal cases should be swift and vigorous but fair. The system should be as efficient as possible. I will work with the judges to find ways to reduce the number of times cases are reset which will result in the speedier disposition of cases, save the taxpayers money and timely dispense justice for the victims.”

Vacek will be on the Republican ballot in the primary election on March 6, 2018.

Retired district judge Cliff Vacek to run for Fort Bend County DA Cliff Vacek, retired Judge of the 400th District Court, has announced his candidacy for the office of District Attorney of Fort Bend County in the upcoming election of 2018.

Vacek previously served over ten years as District Judge before retiring in 2014. Since that time he has engaged in a limited private law practice and worked on his cattle ranch in Simonton.

Vacek was born in Sugar Land and has been a lifelong resident of Fort Bend County. He graduated from Needville High School and attended the University of Texas and University of Houston where he earned his bachelor of science degree. He joined the Texas Army National Guard as a paratrooper in 1969 and upon completion of his active military duty he taught at Needville High School for two years.

Vacek then entered law school at the University of Houston attending night classes while working full time as a maintenance technician for the National Guard.

What’s in the Bond 2017 proposal?

• New Schools & Land $316.7 million • Technology - $34.3 million • Interior Improvements - $29.1 million • Athletics - $24.4 million • Fine Arts - $18.3 million • Exterior Improvements - $11.4 million • Transportation - $7.9 million • Food Service Upgrades - $3.3 million.

Over 70 percent of Bond 2017 is for new schools and land. This includes High School #6, Junior High School #6 and three new elementary schools. The rest is to help maintain equity at our existing campuses, according to the school district.

The average home in Lamar CISD, with a taxable value of $231,000, would potentially see an estimated tax increase of approximately $8.18 a month or $98 a year after all bonds have been issued. However, senior citizens whose property taxes are frozen would not be impacted.

Tight From Page 1 Why the last minute cut and such a huge cut?

The city’s explanation was that it received the bad news about sales tax revenue just a week before.

“The fiscal year 2018 sales tax estimate was based on zero growth from 2017 estimates; the actual revenue came in lower than anticipated for the last three months of the fiscal year.

The downward trend continued into October, leading to a recommended $1 million reduction in budgeted sales taxes, of which $750,000 is for the general fund.

“The five-year capital improvement program has been

We appreciate the Sugar Land Sharks and users of the pool participating in this public process and sharing what this amenity means to them, and we look forward to continuing to work together as we keep the pool open. Additionally, we recognize many of these cuts impact well-loved items such as the Star Spangled Spectacular, and we will be working in the coming weeks and months to determine whether or not there are any feasible alternatives in order to further minimize the impact of the approved cuts to our residents.”

If property value growth exceeds 9%, the tax impact could be significantly less.

Katy ISD board has called for $609.20 million bond election.

Katy ISD’s bond proposal includes 1 high school, 2 junior high and 3 elementary schools, infrastructure for new & existing campuses, costing $448.68 million, Comprehensive Renovation of Fielder Elementary for $20.85 million, component replacements $51 million, safety and security inprovement $16.7 million and technology improvements $31.7 million.

The school district promises zero tax increase if the bond is approved.

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Stafford Mayor Leonard Scarcella called a special council meeting Saturday to hear citizens speak about a week without regular garbage pickup.

Some ninety people packed city hall to voice their anger and concerns about Texan Environmental Waste, Inc., a new vendor recently hired by council in a 4-3 vote to pick up the city’s garbage.

Milton Rahman, city engineer and public works director, showed the audience the timeline for hiring a new vendor. On Aug. 14 council discussed a new residential garbage collection contract.

On Sept. 1 the city’s current garbage collector, WCA, declined a 90-day extension of service because they wanted a year extension of their contract.

On Sept. 5 the city sent out five requests for proposals (RFP) to providers, received three back and five days later awarded the contract to Texas Environmental Waste, Inc., owned by Chris Forte.

Rahman met with Forte on Sept. 25 to provide him with routes, times, days of service to various neighborhoods and expectations of the city.

October 2 was Forte’s first day of service and it turned out to be a nightmare.

People’s garbage was not being picked up and neither were the company’s phones.

Rahman said, “It’s our job to

reduced from $130.3 million to $96.4 million, eliminating projects that cannot be funded within revised debt capacity from the effective tax rate plus 1.5 percent from property taxes, which is the only funding source for bondfunded capital projects.”

Mayor Joe Zimmerman pointed out the real drop in sales tax revenue this year, after the budget was prepared and pointed out that no one knew what it would be. That realistic projection has been included in tbhis budget, he said. “I deal only in facts, not conjectures,” Zimmerman said.

The capital improvements projects are part of the budget. It would be imprudent to

prepare a 5-year CIP when it is clear that the necessary effective tax rate plus 3 percent is not available to fund the CIP budget, he said.

“Four of us felt that way.

Differences of opinion are there. You can’t read too much into it. I respect the difference of opinion. It does not bother me,” Zimmerman said.

If the 32.233 rate had been adopted on Sept. 19, the budget would have been adopted with no cuts.

Now, the city should thank McCutcheon for the reduced tax rate, which provided an opportunity for the city to wait long enough and take into account the reduced sales tax revenue, thus slashing the capital projects.

The five-year capital improvement program (CIP) was also reduced from $130.3 million to $96.4 million based on updated revenue assumptions.

Projects that are not affordable within revised assumed debt capacity have been removed from the five-year plan, and design funding for several of these projects planned for fiscal year 2018 has been removed from the budget.

Construction projects removed from the five-year CIP include the emergency operations center / public safety dispatch facility; animal shelter; and reconstruction of Sweetwater Boulevard, phase II. The voter-approved park bond program has also been suspended until tax revenues can be generated to fully fund the projects.

The city has been subsidizing

the projects from general revenues due to having only increased the tax rate by .7 cents to-date for the program - far less than the 3.1-cent increase authorized by voters.

In addition to the budget cuts, one-time funding of $210,000 was set aside for engineering studies to be conducted or updated after Hurricane Harvey that may help identify improvements to the city’s drainage system in areas that had structural flooding. A reserve of one-time funding was also established in the CIP to help expedite any projects identified through studies and to repair city facilities and public infrastructure damaged during the storm.

talk to the vendor. We had two phone numbers for them and both went to voice mail so I couldn’t talk with a person.

I could not get anybody on the phone during the whole week.”

He did receive e-mails Tuesday morning saying the trash service would be on schedule that day but it wasn’t.

Rahman said, “Wednesday and Thursday is when the whole system failed because everyone had stuff (garbage) outside by then.

“The contractor knew exactly what he was getting into,” Rahman said. “The contract showed what day and what times he would have.

There was no indication the owner needed more time.

Our expectations were what we have in the contract.

The vendor’s readiness was committed to us.”

The complaint calls to the company went unanswered so the number of calls mounted from two on Monday to a total of 282 by Friday.

Scarcella’s office got 100 calls, council members heard from numerous residents and the mayor said the entire week was “totally disruptive to the entire city staff. There was nothing you could do but answer calls about garbage complaints,” Scarcella said.

Scarcella went on to say, “This is a critical service.

This is simply unacceptable.

The contractor was not recommended to get this. There was a select committee that did it and they recommended another contractor.

“There is no excuse for subjecting the people of this city to any undesirable circumstances simply because we want to afford somebody the opportunity. In my opinion we do not have the right to put citizens in a situation that is totally undesirable, unpredictable and without substance or basis.”

Councilman Wen Guerra spoke next and said he got numerous e-mails when WCA started picking up garbage in Stafford. “This is a 90-day trial. I would have done the contract six months ago so it would be a smooth transition.

Also, the EDC promotes local businesses to work for the city.

With the information we got, we went with that vendor,” whom Guerra said graduated from Stafford Municipal School District and returned to Stafford to set up his garbage CONSTABLE’S NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given, that by virtue of a certain Order of Sale issued by the clerk of County Court at Law 5 of Fort Bend County, Texas on Sept 25 , 2017 in cause numbered 16-CCV-057599 styled Chimneystone Planned Community Development Homeowners Assoc, Inc. vs. Donald H.

AUTOMOBILE: Kia Rio

By BARBARA FULENWIDER The all new 2018 Kia Rio is in its fourth generation and the entry level subcompact is available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback. The subcompact duo provides fuel eďŹ&#x192;ciency, innovative technology and advanced safety.

The Rio sedan and 5-door are lower and wider than previous models and more upright thanks to shorter overhangs and thinner taillights.

The Rio rides on 15-inch alloy wheels that have been pushed toward the corners.

Thanks to Rioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger dimensions and wheelbase, its cabin is among the roomiest in its class. Front seat occupants have more head room, leg room and shoulder room and back seat riders get more leg and shoulder room.

Cargo room in the sedan is 13.7 cubic feet. The 5-door hatchback provides 17.4 cubic feet and 32.8 cubic feet with the seats folded down to make a low, ďŹ&#x201A;at cargo ďŹ&#x201A;oor.

The front seats have also been redesigned for more comfort thanks to more cushion and padding.

On the tech front, the Rio

oďŹ&#x20AC;ers Bluetooth hands-free functionality, a six-speaker stereo with satellite radio and a rear-view camera system.

Available only on the top-tier EX trim is a seven-inch ďŹ&#x201A;oating touchscreen interface, voice recognition infotainment system and smartphone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The Rio is available in three trims â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LX, S and EX. They are powered by an enhanced 1.6-liter gasoline direct injection four-cylinder engine.

Power is channeled to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual or sixspeed automatic transmission in both the Rio sedan and Rio 5-door. Output is 130 horsepower and 119 pound-feet of torque. The Rio test drive was the LX 5-door that like the sedan gets 28 mpg city/37 mpg highway.

Kia engineers designed a fully-independent MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear axle. The new Rio sedan and Rio 5-door also beneďŹ t from a revised spring and damper setup.

Stopping power comes from 11-inch disc brakes up front

and drum brakes in the rear, while the EX model is outďŹ tted with 11-inch disc brakes up front and 10.3-inch rear disc brakes. For the ďŹ rst time, Rio is oďŹ&#x20AC;ered with available autonomous emergency braking.

Standard safety features include six airbags, side-impact door beams, electronic stability control, a four-wheel antilock brake system, hill-start assist control, tire pressure monitoring system and vehicle stability management.

Comforts on the Rio include air conditioning, power door locks, AM/FM/MP3, multi adjustable driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, trip computer, steering wheel mounted audio controls, tilt steering column, 60/40 split folding rear seats.

The Rio hatchback LX has a retail price of $15,290 and with ďŹ&#x201A;oor mats, freight and handling the total came to $16,315.

The Rio is a great little runaround town vehicle that can hold more cargo than one might think. The seats were most comfortable and the design inside and out was smart.

In June he said he called Rahman to ask when the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage contract would expire and learned it would be on councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in July. It turned out to be in August, which Honere said left council with too little time to consider it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two proposals were submitted and both were from AfricanAmerican companies,â&#x20AC;? Honere said, adding that the process should have begun three months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This in no way lets the current contractor oďŹ&#x20AC; the hook.â&#x20AC;?

But he also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (council) created a logistic the best of companies could not have been able to overcome.â&#x20AC;? He ended by saying he thinks StaďŹ&#x20AC;ord will â&#x20AC;&#x153;get quality serviceâ&#x20AC;? from Texan.

Council Member Virginia Rosas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you bring race into something like this thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing the lowest card in the deck. We are so diverse and that is the last thing that would cross anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m outraged by that.â&#x20AC;? Rosas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lowest bid isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the best bid so you have to weigh a lot.â&#x20AC;? She said it was unwise for council to have bypassed a professional opinion they got about which company From Page 6

Mathew continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take StaďŹ&#x20AC;ordian succeed in business, Rosas said, but added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;what pride in that I was the deciding was explained to us (council) is he vote because it was for the wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared. There are 3,300 opportunity. I did not see race in homes in StaďŹ&#x20AC;ord and he has two it.â&#x20AC;? He concluded by saying he vehicles to pick up garbage. My had talked personally to Forte and main concern was what if one of told him his own personal story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was another reason I voted the vehicles fails.â&#x20AC;?

Rosas continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe you for you but shame on us, shame miss the ďŹ rst day but then get back on us.â&#x20AC;? Then citizens spoke and on track. If you are going to be in some complained while others business, communication is key.â&#x20AC;? spoke to Forte about improving.

He also said he now has four bad companies and those that try hard but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the capability. trucks because he bought two in Mexico but was held up over the This is very important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was worse than what I weekend by customs oďŹ&#x192;cials. indicated could happen.â&#x20AC;?

This movie is only for the spiritually fit as it packs an emotional punch in the gut and one needs to be healthy enough to take a body blow.

The story is based on true events of the firefighters of Prescott Arizona, known as the Granite Mountain Hot Shots, who wanted to be the first municipal group to be certified as Hot Shot Firefighters which entitles them to be Tier 1 fighters in these massive,

out-of-control forest fires that sweep through a valley or a mountainside destroying entire neighborhoods. Only the brave and highly-trained need apply.

The supervisor of this band of heroes is played by Josh Brolin and his boss is Jeff Bridges so things start out on the right foot because these two movie stars are outstanding actors and seem to always bring authenticity to the screen
