Strategic Planning
On January 26, 2013, the City Council reaffirmed the eight goals that serve as the foundation of the City’s Strategic Plan. The strategic plan is a working document that sets the community’s highest priorities and provides guidance to City Staff when making budgetary determinations. The strategic plan allows City staff to properly align the City’s valuable resources with the community’s priorities, a vital step in accomplishing the City’s goals. The City’s vision, as articulated by the goals developed within the Strategic Plan, is listed below.
Strategic Goals for the City of Allen, Fiscal Year 2014 Goal 1 Enhance community livability and safety. Goal 2 Cultivate regional alliances and partnerships with agencies and governmental units that affect Allen. Goal 3 Improve regional mobility through transportation initiatives. Goal 4 Signify, enhance and communicate Allen’s identity to the region and the nation. Goal 5 Systematically invest in public infrastructure. Goal 6 Maintain operational excellence in City government services. Goal 7 Provide economic investment that increases employment opportunity, the tax base, and provides desired goods and services for residents and contributes to the community character and identity. Goal 8 Proactively work to protect, conserve and manage water resources.
Property Values
According to the Central Appraisal District, the final total assessed property value for 2013- 2014 equals $8.37 billion, which equates to an overall increase of approximately $372 million (4.65%) from the previous year. Assessed property values have increased 14.3% over the past five years, reflecting the slower growth trend that has emerged during that time. By comparison, assessed values grew by 46.6% over the previous five year period, from fiscal years 2005 to 2009, as illustrated in the graph below.

City of Allen 2 FY2014 Budget
Tax Rate
The adopted budget reduces the City’s tax rate from $0.552 to $0.550, and continues the City’s commitment to providing high quality services. The City contiinues to prepare for its future obligations and adheres to the City’s long-term financial plan. Of the total tax rate, $0.409121 is dedicated to operations and maintenance (O&M) in the General Fund, and $0.140879 is dedicated to general obligation debt service. The portion of the tax rate dedicated to debt service is 25.61% of the overall tax rate. This rate is consistent with the City’s current policy to maintain the debt service portion below 35%.

Debt Service
A portion of the City’s property tax rate is assigned to the debt service fund to pay for the General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds and Certificates of Obligation that have been issued for the acquisition of public land or construction of public infrastructure and facilities. In May 2013, the ratings on the City’s General Obligation debt were reaffirmed at AAA by Standard and Poor’s, and were reaffirmed at Aa1 by Moody’s. At the beginnning of Fiscal Year 2014, the total outstanding debt balance will be $97.535 million, and the debt service payments on this outstanding balance will be $12.23 million for the year.
City of Allen 3 FY2014 Budget
Programs and Staffing Levels
The City currently supports a staff of 746.29 full-time equivalent employees allocated among the operating departments. This budget recommends an increase of 12.45 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions setting the employment level for fiscal year 2014 at 758.74. This includes 8.05 FTE in the General Fund, 1.0 FTE in the Water and Sewer Fund, 1.0 FTE in the Drainage Fund, 0.5 FTE in the Solid Waste Fund, 1.0 FTE in the Hotel Occupancy Fund, 1.0 FTE in the Risk Management Fund, and the reduction of 0.1 FTE in the Golf Course Fund. The staffing level has been increased to address the goals established in the Strategic Plan and maintain the current levels of service.

General Fund
The General Fund accounts for all expenditures of traditional goovernment services. This fund finances operations such as Public Safety, Librarryy, Administration, Community Services, Parks and Recreation, Engineering, Municipal Court, and Community Development. General Fund revenue is generated from ad valorem property taxes, a one-cent portion of the sales tax, and a variety of fees for services.
General Fund revenues and budget transfers total $80,464,885 for the fiscal year 2013-2014 budget, an increase of 4.6% from the amended 2012-2013 budget. The sales tax remains at the State maximum rate of 8.25% with 1% contributed to the City of Allen’s General Fund. The sales tax is projected to generate revenue of approximately $16.8 million, a 4.7% increase from the amended 2012-2013 budget. This is a result of continued commercial retail development and population growth in Allen.
General Fund operating expenditures and budget traannsfers total $80,312,226 reflecting a 3.6% increase from the amended 2012-2013 budget. The available ending fund balance for the General Fund, including a restricted balance of $713,113, is projected to be $16,244,707, leaving 73.8 days of operational expenditures in reeserve, within the City policy of 60 to 90 days.
City of Allen 4 FY2014 Budget
In order to keep up with existing demands, in Fiscal Year 2014 the City will add several new General Fund positions, as follows:
One new Code Enforcement Officer will be added in Community Development to assist with increasing workload. The last new Code Enforcement position was added in 2007.
One new Fire Prevention Specialist will be added in April 2014, which will impact half of Fiscal Year 2014. Workload continues to increase in this area and a legislative decision requiring specialized training in Fire Prevention inhibits the ability to use firefighters for completing routine inspections.
One IT Applications Specialist will be added primarily to assist with the newly implemented Public Safety software applications.
4.55 new personnel will be added in Parks and Recreation including a Park Planner funded through a transfer from the Allen Community Development Corporation (CDC), a new Irrigation Technician, a Sports Field Supervisor and an Accounts Payable Technician at Allen Event Center. The Lead Box Office Attendant at Allen Event Center will be increased from .75 to full-time and the Sous Chef will be increased from .90 to full-time. Finally, two .25 part-time Recreation Specialist I’s at Joe Farmer Recreation Center will be increased to .35 each.
One .75 Quartermaster position in the Police Department is increasing to full-time while one .75 Police Services Technician will be divided into two separate .50 positions.
The City of Allen utilizes a conservative strategy when projecting revenues and expenditures. Revenue and expenditure patterns are closely monitored so that adjustments to spending patterns can be implemented, as needed. The City considers many influences as presented throughout this document along with trend analysis to develop and manage the budget as the year progresses.
Water and Sewer Fund
The Water and Sewer Fund is expected to begin fiscal year 2014 with a $10.5 million working capital balance. The total fund revenues are expected to be approximately $35,155,247, allowing for budgeted expenses of $34,129,623. Expenses include a $1.87 million transfer to capital projects for systematic water and sewer infrastructure replacement projects and future CIP funding. The budget anticipates a water and sewer rate increase in February 2014 in accordance with the latest water and sewer rate study, which was updated in December of 2012. The $11.57 million in working capital ending balance results in 123.7 days of operating expenditures in reserve, which exceeds the City policy of 90 to 120 days. This healthy balance is necessary to fund future capital projects and ongoing maintenance planned to ensure that the water and sewer infrastructure will meet the needs of the City at build out. Due to careful implementation of the City’s water and sewer rate plan, coupled with careful attention to cost containment, the City has been able to maintain water and sewer rates that are among the lowest in the region.
City of Allen 5 FY2014 Budget
In order to continue to maintain water and sewer infrastructure, one new Foreman will be added to the Water and Sewer Fund with responsibility for overseeing Distribution and Special Operations.
Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund represents the financial activity related to solid waste collection and disposal, including recycling, composting services, and management of household hazardous waste. The anticipated revenues in fiscal year 2014 are $6,272,714 with budgeted expenses totaling $6,598,257. The total ending fund balance for the Solid Waste Fund is projected to be $2,672,850. Consistent with prior Council discussion, in fiscal year 2014 the Solid Waste Fund Balance will continue to absorb the North Texas Municipal Water District disposal cost increases, as opposed to passing these increases on to residents and businesses.
During fiscal year 2013, the City successfully negotiated an extension to the current contract with Community Waste Disposal (CWD), the City’s solid waste provider. As part of the contract extension, CWD agreed to several concessions that will have a positive impact on the fiscal year 2014 Solid Waste Fund budget. Among these concessions are a suspension of any residential CPI increases through May 31, 2015 and a complete prohibition of CPI adjustments to commercial accounts through the duration of the contract. In addition, CWD has agreed to adjust the Variable Fuel Adjustment Fee (VFAF) “start point” on commercial accounts to a point that eliminates any VFAF charges until diesel fuel costs reach $4.05 per gallon. This VFAF “start point” will then increase by $0.10 per year for the duration of the contract.
The Solid Waste Fund will continue its efforts in Fiscal Year 2014 to keep Allen beautiful through its solid waste, recycling, yard waste, and household hazardous waste programs, and by assisting the Keep Allen Beautiful (KAB) Board in the execution of key events including: Allen Recycles Day, Great American Cleanup, Arbor Day/Trees for Allen Program, Earthfest, conducting a zero-waste Allen USA event, and the annual AISD Educator’s Expo.
The Solid Waste Fund will also continue to partner with the Parks and Recreation Department by providing $275,000 towards City-wide litter pick up efforts. The Solid Waste Fund will also continue funding of $300,000 in fiscal year 2014 for alley repairs.
A new .50 part-time Household Hazardous Waste Maintenance Worker will be added to the Solid Waste Fund to assist with the increasing workload in the HHW program, including staffing needs at the City’s Chemical Reuse Center. Revenue generated from the $0.57 fee charged to residential customers is sufficient to fund this addition.
Drainage Fund
The Drainage Fund is supported by drainage fees on utility bills and development inspection fees. The Fund performs drainage system maintenance, funds the City’s contracts for street sweeping and greenbelt mowing along drainage ways, and mosquito abatement activities. The Fund also supports the City’s Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit activities, and provides funds to accomplish drainage system related capital improvements. The anticipated revenues in fiscal year 2014 are $1,374,500 with budgeted
City of Allen 6 FY2014 Budget
expenses totaling $1,514,363. The total ending fund balance for the Drainage Fund is projected to be $644,612.
One new Maintenance Worker will be added to the Drainage Fund to assist in inspecting drainage areas to ensure compliance with increasing demands placed on the City through TPDES.
Golf Course Fund
The renovation of the 18 hole Traditions Course at The Courses at Watters Creek was completed and opened to public on January 12, 2013. The Futures Course, a new six hole short course, and the nine hole Players Course, will open near the end of Fiscal Year 2013. Redesigned to be more accessible to all players, the entire Courses at Watters Creek venue will be completed and fully operational for the entirety of Fiscal Year 2014. Golf course operational expenses are anticipated to be $2,630,293, which will be covered by operational revenues estimated at $2,603,295, and transfers in from the General Fund of $27,000. The only personnel change in the Golf Fund for FY 2014 is the reduction of one .60 Golf Attendant to .50.
Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund
The Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund collects funds from a 7% tax on hotel rooms rented in the City of Allen. These funds are used to support various projects that enhance and promote tourism, the arts and the convention/hotel industry in the City of Allen.
Fund revenues for Fiscal Year 2014 are expected to total $1,261,416 with budgeted expenses of $1,252,108. Since the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund directly benefits from the recruitment of events and programs held at the Allen Event Center, there will be a $175,000 contribution to the Event Center’s operating budget. This will offset marketing and advertising expenses for the sporting events and art performances held at the Event Center that increase tourism and economic activity at local hotels.
The Fund budget also includes the costs of operating the City’s Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). CVB operational and personnel costs are budgeted to be $799,538. This includes funding for the continuation of the new City brand rollout, as well as amounts allocated for the Lone Star Conference basketball tournament, the NCAA Collegiate Wrestling Tournament, the Texas Stampede, and others as they arise. One new CVB Sales position will be added to the CVB staff to recruit targeted markets to hotels and meeting facilities within the City of Allen. The $50,000 that has been budgeted in the past for special projects submitted for consideration from the Hotel Association is being reallocated to help fund the addition of this CVB Sales position.
Risk Management Fund
The Risk Management Fund is the combination of all risk and liability obligations the City incurs. Included in the fund are health and dental costs, for which the City is self-insured. The fund also includes premiums for workers’ compensation as well as property and liability insurance expenses. The City currently maintains a prudent fund balance.
City of Allen 7 FY2014 Budget
Health care premium costs are continuing to rise due largely to the combination of new federally mandated health care requirements, a maturing workforce, and inflationary pressures related to health care costs. Due to the increasing costs of health care, for fiscal year 2014 employees will be required to contribute an additional 10% towards their health insurance premiums while the City contributes an additional 10% as well. Both the City and the employees will also contribute an additional 10% towards dental premiums. These increases will allow the City to continue to contribute 79% of the total cost of employee health insurance premiums with the employees making up the remaining 21%. The City will continue to pursue ways to lower healthcare costs. The fund balance continues to provide the financial security needed in the event that catastrophic claims should occur.
Workers’ compensation insurance claims and premiums will remain relatively flat compared to the prior year. The budgeted amount for this coverage is $399,680.
Property and liability insurance rates remain relatively flat compared to fiscal year 2013, and with no significant additions of newly insured property, costs are projected to remain stable in fiscal year 2014. The total anticipated amount budgeted for fiscal year 2014 is $590,846.
One new FTE is budgeted for a Benefits Specialist position in Human Resources. This position will be responsible for the ongoing needs associated with an increasing workforce and the increasing complexity of health care.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
In May 2007, Allen citizens authorized the issuance of $77.895 million in General Obligation Bonds to fund capital improvement projects over the next several years. These projects represent a significant investment in the City’s infrastructure, public facilities and recreational assets. The approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes projects that address a wide range of capital needs ultimately funded from several sources. FY 2014, the eighth year of the program, totals $10.550 million and includes: upgrading existing facilities, repairs to streets and alleys, continuation of the Ridgeview Drive extension, park land acquisition, neighborhood park development, implementation of the public art master plan, street and drainage improvements, west-side athletic complex, and an environmental discovery center. The plan recognizes the benefits such projects will bring to the City, as well as the fiscal requirements and obligations each of these projects will entail. Total estimated CIP expenditures for fiscal year 2014 are $27.9 million, which includes projects funded by all other sources.
Conclusion
This completes the highlights of the 2014 fiscal year budget. It is appropriate to once again thank the department directors who have put much time and expertise into the development of the budget. The development of this budget would not have been possible without the hard work of our Finance Department, in particular, Kevin Hammeke, Joanne Stoehr, and Chris Landrum. In addition, I would like to give a special thanks to all City employees who continue
City of Allen 8 FY2014 Budget City of Allen 9 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City of Allen has experienced moderate growth in recent years as the economy continues to recover. Growth is expected to continue at the same pace for the foreseeable future. Below is a discussion of influencing factors and the impact of economic trends on the current budget, and other issues that could affect future budgets.
Property and Sales Tax The rate of growth in property and sales taxes has slowed over the last several years. The current year’s increase of 4.65% in property tax valuation is primarily due to real property reappraisals and new property additions. Assessed valuation increases going forward are expected to be less than 5%. Projected sales tax revenue increases include data center technology purchases and in-line retail finish outs, as the city’s sizable retail developments are near full occupancy. The overall increase in sales tax revenues for FY2014 is estimated at 4.7% over FY2013 revised revenues.
Capital Projects and Debt The issue facing the City of Allen in current and future budgets is that, while revenue growth is moderate, capital projects will be completed which will increase the funding needs for debt payments and for operating costs. A bond issuance of $5.065 million took place in May of 2013 that will impact the debt payments in FY2014 by approximately $351 thousand. The capital projects funded by the debt issuance also increase the FY2014 budget with associated operations and maintenance costs. The city uses deferment as a management tool to control the increase in debt and operating costs. Additionally, when prudent, the city refinances previously issued debt in order to take advantage of lower interest rates.
Other Operating Needs An independent analysis of the city’s compensation plan structure as compared to the market place has not been pursued for over ten years. In an effort to remain competitive, retain talented employees, and ensure that the city remains the “employer of choice”, the city pursued the aforementioned study. FY2014 includes funds dedicated to strategically implement recommendations brought forth during the study.
Legislative Issues In recent years, bills have been presented in the State Legislature that would limit the property tax revenues taxing entities can collect. We anticipate that this trend will continue in the 2015 legislative session. Some of these bills could have a devastating impact on cities’ revenues. The city monitors these bills and their progress through each bi-annual legislative session, and responds by working with other local governments to provide supporting data for testimony, or by participating in opportunities to talk directly with legislators. The city also stays updated on legislation at the Federal level, such as that which relates to health care reform, and is planning for the effect of those changes on upcoming budgets.
Balanced Budget In response to the challenges mentioned above, the city continues to make adjustments in order to balance the budget while still providing exceptional service. In FY2014, the city continues to restore some of the operational and professional service accounts that were reduced in prior years. In addition, the city deferred new programs and services until such time as they become economically viable.
By using conservative budget management strategies, the City of Allen has been able to navigate challenging economic times with minimal impact to staff, programs, and service levels. The city continually monitors economic conditions, and is prepared to make additional adjustments as circumstances change.
City of Allen 10 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FUND STRUCTURE 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
The funds that make up the operating budget are divided into three categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Component Units.
Governmental Fund Types Governmental funds are those generally used to account for tax-supported governmental activities. The city accounts and budgets for Governmental Funds using the modified accrual basis of accounting. This means that revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which it becomes available and measurable, while expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
General Fund The General Fund accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds, and include basic governmental services such as Police, Fire and Parks functions, among others. All general tax revenues and other receipts not allocated to other funds by law or contractual agreement are accounted for in this fund.
Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs.
Tax Increment Financing Fund The Tax Increment Financing Fund accounts for property tax and sales tax revenues and eligible infrastructure expenditures associated with the city’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) zones and related TIF agreements.
Special Revenue Funds The Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of certain revenue sources, the expenditure of which are legally restricted for specified purposes.
Asset Forfeiture Fund The Asset Forfeiture Fund is used to account for seized funds or property awarded to the city by court order and expended solely for law enforcement purposes.
Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund The Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund is used to account for funds received from hotel occupancy tax and expended as allowed by state law.
Grant Fund The Grant Fund is used to account for monies received from other governmental agencies that have restricted legal requirements and multi-year budgets. The city’s matching portion is transferred in from the applicable operating fund.
City of Allen 11 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FUND STRUCTURE 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
Proprietary Fund Types Proprietary funds use the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time the liability is incurred. There are two types of proprietary funds included in the budget: Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
Enterprise Funds The Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The intent of the governing body is that the cost (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Water and Sewer Fund The Water and Sewer Fund is used to account for the provision of water and sewer services to the residents of the city. Activities include administration, operation and maintenance of the water and sewer system and billing and collection activities. Acquisition and construction of major water and sewer capital facilities and repayment of indebtedness from related bond issues and lease purchases are also accounted for in this proprietary fund. All costs are financed through charges made to utility customers. Rates are reviewed and adjusted when necessary to ensure the solvency of the fund.
Solid Waste Fund The Solid Waste Fund is used to account for revenues and expenses associated with the privately contracted trash collection service and the solid waste disposal contract with the North Texas Municipal Water District.
Drainage Fund The Drainage Fund is used to account for the provision of developing and maintaining proper drainage services to the residents of the city.
Golf Course Fund The Golf Course Fund was established to support the daily operations of The Courses at Watters Creek. Purchased in October 2004, the golf course provides additional recreational opportunities for the citizens of Allen and the surrounding region.
Internal Service Funds The Internal Service Funds are used to account for financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the city, or to other governmental units, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
City of Allen 12 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FUND STRUCTURE 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
Replacement Fund The Replacement Fund accounts for the cost associated with the acquisition of capital assets such as vehicles and machinery and equipment through the rental of such items to other departments.
Risk Management Fund The Risk Management fund accounts for the health insurance portion of employee and retiree benefits, for which the city is self-insured. The fund also includes property and liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance, as well as the administrative costs of operating the fund. The total costs of this fund are charged proportionally to each of the other operating funds.
Component Units
Component units are legally separate entities for which the city is financially accountable. The city is considered financially accountable for its component units because the City Council appoints the board members, approves the budgets, authorizes debt issuances, and has access to the organizations’ resources.
Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) The AEDC is responsible for aiding, promoting and furthering economic development within the city.
Community Development Corporation (CDC) The CDC is responsible for supporting improvements in community parks and recreation, streets and sidewalks, public safety and the community library.

Other Funds In addition to the funds presented in this document, the following funds, although not part of the annual operating budget, are audited each year and are included in the city’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). All are classified as Governmental fund types.
Capital Projects Funds The Capital Projects Funds account for all resources used for the acquisition and/or construction of major capital facilities by the city, except those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds. The budget for these funds is presented by project type as a five-year plan in the city’s Capital Improvement Program document. This document is approved, and the updated plan is adopted, each year at the same time the annual operating budget is adopted. These funds include: General Capital Projects, General Obligation Bond fund, and Drainage Improvements. More detailed explanations of the purpose of each fund may be found in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Other Special Revenue Funds Although this fund is not included in the annual adopted operating budget, the proceeds from this revenue source are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. The purpose of this fund is as follows:
Park Dedication Fund – to account for funds received and expended for the acquisition of additional park land and for the development of neighborhood parks.
City of Allen 14 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN BUDGET PROCESS 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
Budget Process The budget process is a yearly activity as set forth in the City Charter, Article IV, Section 4.01 to 4.10. The City Council adopts an annual budget prepared by City Management. It is part of the strategic planning process the City of Allen uses to proactively forecast programs needed in a growing community. The budget process starts each year in December with the city staff analyzing new projects and goals that the City Council has identified as areas of interest and would like to see developed into the strategic plan. The Finance department updates projections of major revenue sources to determine whether total expenditures will need to be adjusted accordingly at midyear. Starting in January, departments begin preparing their personnel requests for the coming year; these are due to Human Resources in March, to allow time for evaluation and pricing prior to budget input. In late February, a team made up of representatives from Planning, Engineering, Community Services, Building and Code, and Finance meets to develop the basic assumptions that will be used during the budget process.
Starting in January and continuing through March departments prepare their requests for items to be replaced from the Replacement fund. Starting in late March and continuing into early April, a team of representatives from Finance and the departments that have fleet operations evaluates these requests and prepares a recommendation for the City Manager.
At the budget kick-off meeting in March, the City Manager gives departments the guidelines to be used in preparing budget requests. The budget is broken down into three parts: a year-end estimate, a base budget for the upcoming year and new programs for the new fiscal year.
The year-end estimate is a projection of revenues and expenditures for the remainder of the current fiscal year. All accounts are evaluated to determine whether they need to be adjusted from current budgets. Accounts that are under or over budget are revised to meet year-end needs. New projects are not added to the year-end estimate. Only the cost for maintaining the current base operation is revised as needed.
The base budget estimate for the upcoming fiscal year is the proposed cost for maintaining the current base operation, and assumes no additions of personnel or equipment. Activities that require additional resources to maintain the current service level, due to factors such as growth or new facilities, are considered additions to the base budget, and are included in the new programs part of the budget. Increases to the operating portion of the base estimate are limited by a set percentage that is tied to an economic indicator to reflect inflation. All capital and one time purchases from the previous fiscal year are not included in the base budget.
The third part of the budget is new programs. This is defined as any change in program emphasis, expenditure of funds, or allocation of personnel or equipment that will result in a change in the level of service currently being delivered. All requests for new personnel, fleet, or equipment that represent a net addition to the operation are included in new costs. For each new program, the department provides a description, itemization, and justification for all costs included in the new program. These are submitted by the departments in a list prioritized according to need.
When all three parts of the budget have been prepared by the departments, Finance reviews them to ensure they are within the budget guidelines. Once all departmental budgets are
City of Allen 15 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN BUDGET PROCESS 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
completed, each Director meets with the City Manager to discuss their requests for the upcoming year, as well as any adjustments needed in the current year. The City Manager makes any necessary changes, and submits the proposed budget to Council at the second Council meeting in July. At the budget workshop meeting in August, Council has the opportunity to review the budget with the City Manager and Directors, and discuss their opinions and any concerns.
After the Council budget workshop there is a public hearing on the budget and a public hearing on the tax rate. Although public hearings on the tax rate are only required by law if certain criteria are met, the city conducts at least one public hearing each year whether required or not. This gives Citizens a chance to voice their opinions. In the FY2014 budget process, two public hearings were required on the tax rate. To be consistent, the city chose to hold two public hearings on the budget as well.
The City Council adopts the final budget at the first regular Council meeting in September.
Budget Adjustments/Amendments Budget changes that do not affect the “bottom line” total for a department, but transfer dollars from one line item to another within a department’s operating budget, or changes between divisions within a department, are allowed at each Director’s discretion. Any budget adjustment that brings about a change in the total appropriation for a department may be allowed by the City Manager at the written request of the department, based on the city’s ability to fund the request. Any budget adjustment that brings about a change in total appropriations requires Council’s approval in the form of an ordinance.

City of Allen 17 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN BUDGET PROCESS 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
Strategic Plan The City of Allen takes the “team approach” to strategic planning. All departments participate in the development of the city’s Strategic Plan, which is a detailed expansion of the eight goal statements developed by the City Council. The City Council, along with the City Manager and Directors, has identified one or more strategies related to each goal. Each of those strategies has one or more objectives which are incorporated into the budget as resources are needed to achieve them. Department summaries found throughout this document identify tasks related to attaining these objectives, in addition to normal “daily” operations.
Each year, beginning in October, departments provide the City Manager’s office with an updated status for each objective, as well as any suggestions for additional objectives which will help achieve the city’s overall goals. These are compiled into the updated Strategic Plan document, which is presented to Council at the January strategic planning session. This session is attended by the Council, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Department Directors. At this meeting, Council reviews the status of existing goals, and identifies additional goals. Based on this input, any newly identified goals and objectives are then incorporated into the revised, updated document.
On the following pages the Strategic Plan Summary is presented, followed by a list of the objectives for each goal strategy. A complete list of tasks related to each objective may be found in the complete Strategic Plan document, published by the City Manager’s office. The information presented here is from the 2013 Strategic Plan document, which was the basis and justification for budget items requested for FY2014.
Capital Budget The capital planning and budgeting process is a major, ongoing part of the strategic planning process. Each year, the Engineering, Finance, and Planning departments, working with other departments, reevaluate project priorities, review funding sources, and identify new projects as needed. This information is incorporated into the five-year CIP document. The updated document is given to the City Council in late July, at the same time the proposed budget is presented. Approved by Council at the same time the annual operating budget is adopted, this document is used as a guide for project, debt, and other related budget planning. As such, future years are subject to change. In addition, debt issuance for future projects may be subject to voter approval.
Throughout the year projects are monitored and reprioritized as necessary. The city utilizes the project accounting and budgeting components of the financial software to assist with the monitoring aspect of the process. Monthly reports are provided to Council to keep them informed of the status of projects.
Information from the CIP document, along with further discussion of capital projects, may be found in the “Capital Projects” section of this book.

City of Allen 26 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014
Introduction The City of Allen, Texas financial policies and practices set forth the basic framework for the fiscal management of the city. These policies and procedures were developed within the parameters established by applicable provisions of the Texas Local Government Code, the City of Allen Charter and internal management.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting The city’s finances are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The accounts of the city are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. Funds are established according to governmental accounting standards and are used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The number of funds maintained is the minimum needed to be consistent with legal and managerial requirements.
The city uses a budget format based on modified accrual accounting for governmental funds. This means that budgeted expenditures are recorded when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred, but revenues are recognized only when they are measurable and available. Proprietary Funds are budgeted using an accrual accounting basis. Expenditures are still recognized as they are encumbered, but revenues are recognized as they are obligated to the city.
The city utilizes encumbrance accounting for its Governmental Fund types, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Outstanding encumbrances at fiscal year-end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities; these commitments are re-appropriated and honored the subsequent fiscal year. Significant encumbrances are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements in conjunction with other commitments.
The city’s operating budget is adopted on an annual basis; all appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. Capital projects have project-length or multi-year budgets approved by Council.
The budget is prepared in accordance with GAAP, with the exception of depreciation and amortization, and compensated absences (accrued but unused vacation and sick leave). These are accrued in the financial statements of the proprietary funds, but are not shown as expenses in the budget.
Financial Reporting Following the conclusion of the fiscal year, the city’s accounting records are audited by an independent public accounting firm. The Finance department is responsible for preparing a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in accordance with generally accepted accounting and financial reporting principles established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The document shall also satisfy all criteria of the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program.
The CAFR shows the status of the city’s finances on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The CAFR shows fund revenues and expenditures on both a GAAP basis and budget basis for comparison purposes.
The results of the annual audit prepared by independent certified public accountants designated by the City Council is included as part of the CAFR.

On-line reporting has been developed to allow individual departments to review and compare actual expenditures to budget as needed. The Finance department also reviews operating revenues and expenditures, recommending adjustments as needed. On a quarterly basis, the Finance Department submits reports to the Council of receipts and disbursements in sufficient detail to show the financial condition of the city. Status reports for capital projects are provided to Council each month.
Fund Balance, Working Capital and Debt Management Policy To establish key elements for the financial stability of the city, the City Council has formally approved a separate Fund Balance, Working Capital and Debt Management Policy, setting guidelines for the purpose of funds, reserves and debt management.
Reserves The city maintains a prudent level of financial resources to protect against the need to reduce service levels or raise taxes and fees due to temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. In the General Fund, that level is 60 to 90 days of operating expenses. In the Water and Sewer fund, the policy is for 90 to 120 days of operating expenses. In the Debt Service Fund a range of 5% to 10% of the required annual principal and interest payments is maintained and in the Risk Management fund, the city maintains a minimum reserve of $500,000 to cover unexpected costs relating to health insurance claims; the city is self-insured for this component of the fund. All funds are monitored and managed according to the intended purpose of the individual fund.
Debt Management All debt issuances are for the purposes of financing capital infrastructure or long-lived costly assets. Each debt issuance is evaluated against multiple policies addressing: debt service as a percent of operating expenditures, tax and revenue bases for the repayment of debt, the overall debt burden on the community, statutory limitations and market factors affecting tax-exempt interest costs. Sizing of the city’s capital improvement program based on debt capacity in conjunction with conservatively estimated pay-as-you go revenues help stabilize per capita debt and lower annual debt service costs to the city over the long-term. When interest rates decline, the city will analyze the benefits of issuing advance and current refunding bonds in order to take advantage of the economic gain obtained from the reduction of long-term interest costs. The city has identified the maximum amount of debt and debt service that should be outstanding at any time (see “Debt Policy”, in the Debt Service Fund section, as well as the discussion of debt in the Capital Projects section of this document).
Investment Policies The City Council has formally approved a separate Investment Policy for the City of Allen that meets the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA), Section 2256 of the Texas Local Government Code. This policy is reviewed annually by the City Council and applies to all financial assets held by the city.
Investment Strategies The city maintains portfolios which utilize the following four specific investment strategy considerations designed to address the unique characteristics of the fund groups represented in the portfolios:
Operating Funds: to assure that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity and to create a portfolio structure which will experience minimal volatility during economic cycles.
City of Allen 28 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014
Debt Service Funds: the assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt service obligation on the required payment date.
Reserve Funds: generate a dependable revenue stream to the appropriate fund from securities with a low to moderate degree of volatility.
Special projects or special purpose funds: assure that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity.
Investment Objectives The city shall manage and invest its cash with four objectives listed in priority order:
Safety of the principal invested Liquidity and availability of cash to pay obligations when due Receive the highest possible rate of return (yield) consistent with the city’s investment policy Investment officials shall act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.
Responsibility and Control Authority to manage the city’s investment program is designated by a resolution adopted by the City Council. The Chief Financial Officer is designated as the primary investment officer and the Assistant Finance Director is the secondary investment officer. Investment officers shall attend at least one training session related to the officer’s responsibility under the Act within 12 months after taking office or assuming duties. Investment officers are required to attend one training session every two years.
Investment Portfolio Authorized investments and maximum percent of total investments include: Collateralized Certificates of Deposits (CD’s) 50% Collateralized Repurchase Agreements 30% U.S. Treasury Obligations 100% Municipal Investment Pool 100% Commercial Bank Savings Accounts 15% U.S. Government Agency Securities, non-callable 100% U.S. Government Agency Securities, callable 70% U.S. Government Sponsored Corporation’s instruments, non-callable 75% U.S. Government Sponsored Corporation’s Instruments, callable 70% Commercial Paper 20% Banker’s Acceptances 10% Guaranteed Investment Contracts 25% State or Local Governmental Obligations 30%
Term of Investment The maximum term of any investment may not exceed five (5) years.
Quarterly Reporting On a quarterly basis, the authorized investment officers will submit a signed quarterly investment report to the City Council that summarizes investment activity for each city pooled fund group. The report must contain information required by the Public Funds Investment Act and include beginning and ending market values of each separately invested asset, purchase and maturity dates, additions and changes to the market value and fully accrued interest for the reporting period.

Procurement Planning All city purchases of goods or services are made in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code, including Chapter 252, Purchasing and Contracting Authority of Municipalities, other relevant federal, state and local statutes. The city’s purchasing policy requires all purchases greater than $15,000 be approved by the City Manager and purchases of $50,000 or greater must be advertised in accordance with the competitive bid process and awarded by the City Council.
The city implemented a Procurement Card (P-card) Program as a cost-effective alternative to the existing purchase order process. The P-card is used for small dollar/high volume purchases to assist employees to more quickly and easily obtain the goods and services needed to get the job done. Internal management controls together with the card’s inherent controls will ensure that the card can be used only for specific purchases and within specific dollar limits. Periodic audits of P-card purchases will be conducted with the objective to determine compliance with the P-card and city purchasing procedures.
The following shows a summary of approval requirements for purchases.

The city will take advantage of all purchase discounts when possible. Checks are issued every Friday of the month except on holidays.
Insurance and Risk Management The city has a comprehensive risk management program, including property, liability, safety, workers’ compensation, health, dental and wellness.
The city has established a self-insurance plan for city employees and their covered dependents for medical and dental care. A commercial insurance company re-insures the city for individual claims in
City of Allen 30 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014 excess of $125,000. The city participates in the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP), which provides the city with a full range of insurance products and services. TMLIRP carries the city’s general liability, property and casualty, and workers compensation insurances.
Balanced Budget The city is committed to a balanced budget, and provides full disclosure when a deviation from a balanced budget is planned, or when one occurs. The city defines a balanced budget as one in which total appropriated expenditures are equal to or less than total projected revenues plus beginning fund balances.
Long-Range Planning The city’s annual budget process involves incorporating the goals and strategies identified by the City Council’s three-year Strategic Plan to provide for the community’s highest priority needs. Strategic planning begins with determining the city’s fiscal capacity based upon long-term financial forecasts of recurring available revenues. The city’s five-year Capital Improvement Program is used as a guide for project, debt, and other related budget planning.
Revenue Diversification The city is cognizant of the fact that a diversity of revenue sources is important in order to improve its ability to handle fluctuations in individual sources. The city continues to search for new revenue sources, while monitoring economic and legislative threats to current sources.
Use of One-time Revenues The City of Allen does not use one-time revenues for ongoing expenditures. Similarly, it does not allow ongoing expenditures to result in a decrease to fund balance in any fund.
City of Allen 31 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN REVENUE SUMMARY 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
The city’s largest revenue sources are ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, and charges for services. Below is a discussion of these major revenue sources and the underlying assumptions used in developing the budget. It also includes any significant trends that affect the revenue assumptions in the current and future fiscal years.
Ad Valorem Taxes (27.0% of Total Revenues)
Ad Valorem Taxes are the city’s second largest revenue source overall, and are the largest revenue source in the General fund. Total estimated property tax revenues for FY2014 are $46.1 million. This is for the General, Debt Service, and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds. The General fund portion makes up 42.5% of that fund’s budgeted revenues and is estimated at $34.3 million for fiscal year 2013-2014. The portion allocated to the Debt Service fund is approximately $11.8 million. These two include the TIF fund amount of $555 thousand.
The city’s property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for all real and certain personal property located in the city. Appraised values are established by the Collin Central Appraisal District at 100% of estimated value and certified by the Appraisal Review Board. The assessed value upon which the 2013 levy (for FY2014) was based is $8,373,043,840. The collection rate is estimated at 100% and is based on the city’s historically high collection rate. The total tax rate was lowered to $.550 per $100 of valuation, of which $0.409121 is for General Fund operations. The remainder of the tax rate, $0.140879 per $100 of valuation, is for the Debt Service Fund. Portions from both the General and Debt Service funds will be allocated to the TIF fund.

General Debt Tax Rate The chart above illustrates the growth in total property tax revenues over the last 10 years. In recent years, the debt portion of the revenues has increased to cover debt that has been issued for new facilities. This is consistent with the city’s long-term plan, which is updated annually.
City of Allen 32 FY2014 Budget
CITY OF ALLEN REVENUE SUMMARY 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
Sales Tax (19.8% of Total Revenues)
Sales taxes are collected by retailers and remitted to the State Comptroller’s Office for the sale of goods and services within the City of Allen. The state returns the portion designated for the city. The city receives 2 cents of the total sales tax collected. One cent is used in the General Fund. The other 1 cent is split between the Allen Economic Development Corporation and the Allen Community Development Corporation, and is the primary source of revenue in those two funds. Due to new development, the city’s sales tax continues to grow, and makes up approximately 20.9% of the total General Fund revenues. This avoids too heavy a reliance on such an elastic source of revenue. With the growth in previous years, the City Council has made an effort to use sales tax revenue to reduce the property tax rate for the citizens of Allen. Fiscal year 2013 revised is projected at $32.6 million and fiscal year 2014 is projected at $34.2 million. Sales Tax $35 $30 $25

Charges for Services (38.8% of Total Revenues)
User charges are the largest source of revenue for the city, projected for FY2014 at $67.3 million. Well over half of this is for revenues in the Water and Sewer and Solid Waste funds. The remainder comes from charges in the Drainage Utility fund, user fees for various Parks and Recreation programs and facilities, charges for services such as ambulance service and alarm registration fees, and internal charges that allow for cash funding of vehicle and equipment replacement and allocated costs of insurance premiums and claims.
Discussion will focus on the largest portion of this category, which comes from Water and Sewer and Solid Waste revenues.

CITY OF ALLEN REVENUE SUMMARY 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR Water and Sewer Fund Water and Sewer revenues are collected for the sale of water and disposal of sewage for residential, commercial and apartment usage. Revenues for fiscal year 2013-2014 are estimated at $20.3 million for water sales and $13.3 million for sewer charges. The city’s water and sewer rate study is used as a guide for projecting water and sewer revenues. The city updated the rate study in late FY2012. Water and Sewer Revenues

Other Revenue Sources
Although not a large percentage of total city revenues, franchise fees and licenses and permits are an important part of General fund revenues. Fluctuations in these revenue sources due to economic conditions can have a significant impact on the General fund.
Franchise Fees Franchise Fees are received from specific entities that provide utility services to residents and businesses in the City of Allen. Utilities (electric, telephone, gas, and cable) that operate in the City pay this fee for their use of the city’s right of way to run their utility lines. Telephone franchise fees are based on number of access lines. Other franchise fees are based on a percentage of gross receipts or units of energy sold. Projections are based on population increase and projected utility use. Franchise fees for fiscal year 2013-2014 are projected at approximately $6.8 million.
Licenses and Permits License and Permit revenues represent 1.8%, or approximately $1.48 million, of the total projected General fund revenues for the new fiscal year. They are made up of commercial permits, and City licensing revenues and inspection fees, and are collected by the Building Inspections department. They include project permits that cover all parts of construction (electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits and certificate of occupancy fees), specific permits (fences, electric, plumbing, etc.) and service fees (re-inspections, special inspections and special services). Overall permit revenue for FY2014 is expected to be less than the FY2013 revised estimates given no multifamily permits are anticipated in FY2014. A moderate increase in single family permits revenue is expected and no increase in commercial permits revenue is expected.

Debt Policy The City of Allen issues general obligation bonds for a term of generally twenty years, for the purpose of constructing major capital improvements which include municipal facilities, parks and streets. Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, applicable to cities of more than 5,000 population states that the maximum rate shall not exceed $2.50 per $100.00 of assessed valuation of taxable property. The City’s Charter (Article 5, Section 1) states: “In accordance with the constitution of the State of Texas, and not contrary thereto, the City of Allen shall have the power to borrow money against the credit of the city for any public purpose that is not now nor hereafter prohibited by the constitution and laws of the State of Texas”. The City’s debt policy, adopted by Council in September 2011, is to keep the portion of ad valorem tax collections appropriated to the debt service fund below 35% and to maintain a fund balance between 5% and 10% of annual principal and interest payments. The proposed tax rate at October 1, 2013 is $0.552 per $100.00 of assessed valuation of which $0.140852, or 25.52%, is designated to the debt service fund. This is within the limits of the state law and is below the City’s policy limit.

City of Allen 225 FY2014 Budget CAPITAL PROJECTS
The City’s five-year Capital Improvement Program represents the Capital Budget for 2014 and is a financial plan for infrastructure and other improvements through 2018. The Engineering and Planning departments, in conjunction with those departments whose projects are included, prepare this plan. The CIP is a separate document that is formally adopted as part of the annual budget process. The CIP is used as a guide for project, debt, and other related budget planning. Current year projects have been approved. Future years of the plan may change, with the later years being the most subject to change. Also, it is important to note that for some future projects, debt funding is subject to approval by the electorate. Voters approved a $77.9 million bond proposal in May 2007. The list of projects includes streets, drainage, public facilities such as an athletic complex, public art projects, parks and recreation, public safety facility upgrades, and a fire station.
Approximately $27.96 million is allocated to spend on capital projects in FY2014. Following are brief descriptions of the larger projects that will be in progress, and a discussion of the relationship between the capital budget and the operating budget. Also included is a complete list of all CIP projects that are in the current plan, and debt information as it relates to capital projects. More complete information may be found on each project in the City’s Capital Improvement Program document.
Highlights
General Government Public Safety. $425,000 is allocated for facility upgrades including energy efficient lighting retrofit and security upgrades for Fire Stations 3 and 4. Appropriations for the renovation of existing Fire Station 2 are estimated at $250,000 for FY2014.
Public Art. $465,000 is anticipated for construction of public art projects.
Parks and Recreation Funding of $6.7 million is provided in FY2014 for various parks projects. The majority is allocated for community parks and trail development, including the installation of artificial turf at Allen Station Park, and development of the Cottonwood Creek Trail. $1.5 million is set aside for community park land acquisition.
Public Works Streets Approximately $14.7 million is allocated for street projects. $4.5 million is for construction from Alma through Stacy on Ridgeview Drive. Funding for construction of four lanes from Greenville to FM1378 on Stacy Road known as phase 2 is approximately $4 million. The project is 80% funded by TxDOT; the remainder of funding is from the City, Collin County, and the Town of Fairview. Exchange Blvd. widening from a 4-lane divided roadway to 6- lanes from Alma to Allen Heights is approximately $2.64 million for FY2014.
City of Allen 226 FY2014 Budget Drainage. $486,000 is allocated for the repair of the gabion walls at the Allen Old Stone Dam site. The funds are sourced from a CDC grant. Additionally, $200,000 is estimated for un-programmed city drainage improvements.
Street Maintenance. $800,000 is appropriated for routine replacement of street and alley failure locations throughout the city.
Water and Wastewater US 75 Lift Station and 12” Force Main: $3 million for a lift station and 12” force main providing sewer service along US75 north of the Premium Outlet Mall.
Water Line and Sewer Main Replacements: Estimated at $1.25 million for water lines, and $1.25 million for sewer mains.
City of Allen 227 FY2014 Budget RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS
The City’s operating and capital projects budgets are closely linked. The capital budget is a multi-year financial plan of the capital improvement program (CIP) for the acquisition, expansion, or rehabilitation of infrastructure, capital assets, or productive capacity of City Services.
Revenues for the capital budget come from bond sales, intergovernmental revenues, 4a/4b sales taxes, development fees, and some current operating revenues. The capital improvement program, unlike the operating budget, is a five-year plan. The plan is reviewed and projects are reprioritized on an ongoing basis.
Impact of Capital Projects on the Operating Budget Capital projects impact the operating budget in several ways. First, since the City is committed to systematically investing in infrastructure (Strategic Goal #5), each year funds are set aside in the operating budget to provide cash financing toward some projects. Also, the City must generate enough operating revenues to cover any payments for General Obligation and Revenue debt incurred for long-term financing of capital projects approved this year and in prior years. These represent funds that would otherwise be available to pay for other programs, services, or projects. Finally, after projects are completed, there is usually a need for additional funding to cover ongoing maintenance, utilities, other operating costs, and sometimes additional personnel or equipment. This year the total estimated impact of the capital budget on the operating budget is approximately $22.2 million.
Operating Capital Budget Budget $174.3m $28.0m $22 .2m
Cash Financing and Debt Service Debt service payments and cash financing for projects comprise $21.53 million of this total. The debt service payments are $18.36 million; of this amount, $12.23 million is for General Obligation debt, and $6.13 million is for Revenue debt. Budgeted transfers from operating funds to the Capital Projects funds are $3.17 million, and include:
Water and Sewer Projects: $2,870,000. Of this total, $2,500,000 is allocated for water and sewer line replacement projects. In addition, $170,000 is appropriated for pump station and lift station improvements, and $200,000 is budgeted for un-programmed replacement or maintenance needs.
Solid Waste Projects: $300,000 is allocated for major alley repairs.
City of Allen 228 FY2014 Budget Other Operating Costs In addition to cash financing and debt service, the increases in operating costs in the FY2013-2014 budget related to the CIP totals approximately $642,000. These are listed below by project type. Increases are stated in comparison to the FY2013 revised budget.
Facilities: Approximately $86,000 was added to the budget for FY2014 in personnel cost to support application and technology upgrades.
Paving, Drainage, and Signalization Projects: The impact in this category is an increase of about $51,000. This includes approximately $41,000 for maintenance related to street lights, traffic signals, and street markings, and about $10,000 in the areas of street sweeping and drainage system maintenance. Costs in this category will continue to increase over the next few years as many of the newest thoroughfares begin to age.
Water and Wastewater Projects: The City continues to allocate resources for meter replacement. For FY2014, $385,000 is allocated for this ongoing program. In addition, $120,000 is allocated for mains and connections.

City of Allen 232 FY2014 Budget
Debt Part of the process of updating the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) each year involves identifying projects that may require funding through debt issuance. On the following pages are long-term scenarios of the City’s General Obligation and Revenue debt, based on the projects planned for the next several years.
Below are the assumptions used in the development of these scenarios followed by a discussion of the City’s debt capacity. Again, this is based on the current plan; future years are subject to change.
General Obligation Debt Assumptions The General Obligation debt projections assume that the debt portion of the tax rate will increase from 0.140879 in FY2014 to 0.149499 in FY2015 due to approximately a $10 million issuance in FY2014. The debt rate will then gradually decrease over the next two years to 0.135029 in FY2017, as the remaining debt is issued from the $78 million approved in May of 2007. All years assume a collection rate of 99%. Over the next several years, the portion of the tax rate dedicated to debt would remain between approximately 24% and 28%, which is below the City’s policy limit of 35%. The policy was approved by the City Council in September 2011 to reflect a more conservative approach to debt and to ensure that the operational needs of the City receive a higher tax rate allocation.
The assumption for growth in the tax base through FY2017 ranges from 4.0% to 4.6%, based upon general growth in residential and commercial property along Highway 121, US 75 Highway, and in areas of vacant land throughout the City. The rate of growth decreases in subsequent years, as reflected in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, due to build out of the available land that is zoned residential. Commercial activity is expected to continue for another 15 years until it reaches build out.
The debt scenario that follows reflects all currently authorized bond issues. The voters approved approximately $78 million in May 2007 for future infrastructure improvements and public facilities, along with a 4.4 cent potential tax increase to help cover the additional operating costs associated with these projects.
Revenue Debt Assumptions Revenue debt and water and sewer rates are managed according to the City’s Water and Sewer rate study. A rate study was completed in December of 2012. The forward looking impact of the revenues and expenditures in the Water and Sewer Fund is shown in the following “Water/Wastewater Cost of Service Model” table from the rate study.
The plan includes annual water rate increases from 2% to 7% for water customers over the next three years and 10% for sewer services. In order to promote water conservation, the irrigation rates are projected to increase 7% per year for the next four years.
Adequate revenues are projected to meet ongoing operational cost increases, to provide funding for water and sewer infrastructure improvements, and to provide for existing debt service. No new debt is planned to be issued in the near future for water and sewer projects. Included in the rate study was a population growth factor that was consistent with the City’s long-range Comprehensive Plan. The water and sewer bond covenants stipulate a debt coverage ratio of 1.2 times the annual debt service for the fiscal year on all outstanding bonds. Over the next four years, the coverage ratio is expected to range from 2.70 to 4.31 according
City of Allen 233 FY2014 Budget
to the rate model. Projections also take into consideration a working capital adequacy test of approximately 90 to 120 days of expenditures. The projected days of working capital over the next four years is expected to be approximately 120 days according to the rate model.
Debt Capacity In 2006 the City’s policy of limiting the debt portion of the total tax rate to 40% would have translated into authorizing approximately $138 million of new debt. From a cash flow and tax rate perspective the 2006 CIP Committee felt that $78 million of new debt was the maximum amount the community could afford. The Committee proposed and voters elected to approve $78 million in new debt and raise taxes for the operating impact of the projects. The recommendation also took into consideration the City’s requirement at that time to maintain a reserve of 10% in the Debt Service Fund. If the City had authorized the maximum of $138 million, the debt tax rate would have increased to 39.5% of the total tax rate. Although this percentage was just below the 40% in the old policy limit, there also would have been an additional impact upon the City due to the operating costs associated with projects totaling the larger amount. The combination of operating costs and new debt service associated with $138 million of new debt would have raised taxes more than the 4.4 cents voters approved.
As mentioned earlier, the City’s debt policy limit is now 35%. The projected growth in the assessed value and fund balance of the G.O. Debt Service Fund indicates that the City has more than enough capacity to issue additional debt over the next several years. The remaining authorized but unissued G.O. Debt is $20.73 million from the 2007 election and $16.685 million from the 2002 election. During the next three years the plan is to issue: FY2014-$10.55 million, FY2015-$6.18 million and FY2016-$4.0 million. As mentioned above, the City has the capacity to issue the bonds that have been authorized. It is projected that the percentage of the tax rate dedicated to debt service over the next several years will be between 24% and 28%. Additionally, the debt service long range plan reflects a fund balance that meets the fund balance reserve requirement of 5% to 10% of the annual debt service.
The City has been proactive in building its water and sewer infrastructure. Since completion of the Custer Road pump station and storage project in FY2007, the City has had adequate storage tanks and water towers in place. The Hillside Water Tower replacement project is complete. It was primarily cash funded and had supplemental funding from Economic Development Corporation (EDC) sales tax revenue bond proceeds. The Hillside Water Tower had been the oldest water tower in the City and needed to be replaced. The replacement water tower increased the system capacity by 1,500,000 gallons and will essentially provide for future growth as the City reaches build out in population and commercial development. The US 75 Highway Waterline Replacement project is also partially cash financed from water and sewer revenues and EDC sales tax revenue bonds proceeds. Water and sewer line replacements in the older part of the Central Business District may need to be replaced through cash financing or with funding from a Tax Increment Redevelopment Zone. At this time, there is adequate additional debt capacity in the Water and Sewer area because the debt coverage ratio is projected to range from 2.70 to 4.31 as mentioned above.

WHERE IS ALLEN, TEXAS?
City of Allen is located approximately 25 miles north of Dallas, Texas.
City of Allen 254 FY2014 Budget CITY OF ALLEN DEMOGRAPHICS 2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR
The City of Allen is located in Collin County in North Central Texas and is approximately 12 miles north of Interstate 635 on U.S. 75. Allen is completely surrounded by incorporated cities. To the north lies the City of McKinney; to the south, the City of Plano; to the east, the City of Lucas; and to the west, the City of Plano.
Allen was settled in the early 1850's from land grants given by the Republic of Texas as an inducement for settlers to come to the frontier. The railroad and telegraph came to Allen in 1872 and in future years made substantial contributions to the local economy. The City was officially incorporated in 1953 with a Council/Manager form of government. Similar in importance to the construction of the railroad almost a century before was the completion of U.S. 75 through Allen in 1960. Citizens could work at nearby companies because of the access and convenience of the highway. The relocation of technology companies to the North Dallas and Richardson areas in the 1960's drastically increased employment opportunities for Allen's citizens, and the population rose to 1,940. It continued to increase to 8,324 in 1980, 19,198 in 1990, 43,686 in 2000, and 89,210 as of August 2013.

Allen is 25 miles north of Downtown Dallas, on U.S. Highway 75. The City has established a reputation in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex for its quality residential and commercial developments. Important transportation routes serving the City include U.S. 75, which bisects the City in a north/south direction and provides an important link to adjacent cities. McDermott/Main Street runs in an east/west direction in the center of the City. S.H. 5/Greenville Avenue, which formerly was the main north/south thoroughfare, lies roughly parallel to U.S. 75. State Highway 121 opened in early 2011 and offers Collin County residents a direct route to the DFW International Airport.
Since its inception in 1992, the Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) has dedicated its resources to developing first-class technology parks and recruiting quality industries and corporate campuses to the community. Allen’s corporate landscape is now a well-designed blend of telecommunication, data centers, medical, defense, semiconductor, corporate offices and other technology-related industries.

In addition to creating jobs, AEDC projects relieve the property tax burden of the individual homeowner. The AEDC has helped complete over 95 projects since its inception that have added over $1.6 billion in taxable value to the Allen tax rolls. In recent years, Allen has moved to a new level in its development with the addition of new office tenants, first-class dining and shopping venues. Allen is recognized as an office and commerce/retail destination in North Dallas.
Cisco, AT&T and Experian have all chosen to locate data centers in Allen because of the city’s prime location and abundant power supply. The AEDC recruited Andrews Distributing to build a new office, training, and distribution facility in Allen. The 310,000-square foot facility became fully operational in 2012. The company created 450 jobs in Allen and has invested $45 million in the project.
With AEDC assistance, Frontier Communications signed a 10-year lease for 84,000-square feet of space at Bethany Drive and U.S. 75, bringing in approximately 450 jobs initially. Frontier employs about 700 people and is expected to invest $6.5 million by the end of 2013. The AEDC also recruited PFSweb, Inc., an eCommerce and business process outsourcing solutions firm, to sign a 10-year lease for 75,000-square feet of space in Allen, currently with 450 employees with an expected growth to 700 jobs over the next 4 years. The software firm TelStrat signed a 5-year lease to relocate its headquarters into over 17,000-square feet of office space in Allen. The company will initially employ 34 high-tech workers, increasing to 42 over a 5-year period.
With the addition of new tenants such as No Magic, Inc. and the expansion of existing tenants such as KONE Elevators, One Allen Center in Allen Central Park is now over 95% occupied. This 5-story, Class A office building is located in a premier business park owned by the AEDC in the heart of Allen’s business district. The new leases in this building bring hundreds of quality jobs to the City and increases economic activity at Allen’s shopping developments.
Billings Productions leased 46,000-square feet on Andrews Parkway and is experiencing a 30 percent annual growth rate. Billings Productions designs and builds animatronic dinosaurs that are exhibited at zoos and museums around the world. The company recently began work on an insect collection and employs 46 people.
City of Allen 256 FY2014 Budget Two new companies, Bridgemetrics and Standex International, moved to Allen in 2013. Bridgemetrics is a software company that started with 53 employees and has already grown to 74 positions. Standex International is a food service company that opened a culinary development center in Allen with 45 employees. This location will serve as the corporate office for the Cooking Solution Group and will be used for training, product development, and key customer visits.
In May 2013, AEDC and Sentinel Capital, LLC announced the planned development of AllenPlace. This new four building office complex, located on North Central Expressway, will add almost 500,000 square feet of space to the Allen market. Currently the occupancy rate for office space in Allen is about 95%.
The AEDC and City of Allen are jointly assisting Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a premiere mixed use development in Allen. The silver-LEED certified project has attracted regional and national attention and added over $100 million in improvements to Allen’s ad valorem tax base. Additionally, the development provides new sales tax revenue. The project includes 300 loft style apartments and 80,000 square feet of office space. Homeland Healthcare recently expanded their offices in Allen, now occupying 25,000-sf in Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm.
The AEDC and City of Allen recruited Cabela’s to develop a new store in Allen, to be located directly south of the Village at Allen. Cabela’s officially opened in April of 2011.

Departmental Performance Measures
City of Allen 261 FY2014 Budget Departmental Performance Measures
Performance measurement can be defined as “measurement on a regular basis of the results (outcomes) and efficiency of services or programs.” 1 The ultimate purpose of any performance measure is to provide a quantifiable measure of the results or effectiveness of an action. In the case of measurements in government, they are typically tied to programs and services. By finding quantifiable measures that are tied to the goals of a service, the effectiveness of the program can be judged against the preferred level of achievement, against the program’s past performance, and against similar programs in other cities.
Performance measures fall into five categories. The first, and most simple, is input measures which shows the amount and kinds of resources assigned to a program. Budgets actually contain input measures when they show divisions of money and personnel. The second category is output, or workload measures that show amount of work performed and services received. Individually, these first two categories only provide a frame for the activities of a program, but when outputs are examined in terms of the inputs needed to produce them, an efficiency measure is created which is the first real measure of actual performance. Outcome or Effectiveness measures are designed to report the results of a program, especially the quality of the results. “Effectiveness refers to the degree to which services are responsive to the needs and desires of a community.” 2 The final category is productivity measures, which combine efficiency and effectiveness to show the cost to produce a quality result or how poor results harm total costs (for example having to repair a street twice after doing it poorly the first time).
The measures in this appendix fall into the final four categories. An attempt was made to compose measures for the major functions of all City departments. The measures were also designed to tie in as closely as possible with the departmental goals and objectives listed in the departmental pages in the budget. As a result these measures can be used as a tool for more accurate budget decisions, as a gauge of goal achievement, plus as a running overview of trends in departmental performance.

Financial Management
To ensure long-term financial success of the City, sufficient reserves are required to maintain City operations through unforeseen events. The City policy for the General Fund is to maintain a range of 60 to 90 days of operational expenditures in reserve. Water and Sewer bond covenants require that the Water and Sewer Fund maintain a reserve fund equal to the average annual debt payment of all bonds. This is also a critical element utilized by bond rating agencies in determination of the City’s bond rating. Long-range financial planning and conservative budgeting has allowed the City to maintain required reserves.

City of Allen 293 FY2014 Budget Library
Department Introduction
“A welcoming place to inspire the mind,” the Library stiimulates imagination and encourages a lifelong love for learning by providing books, audiobooks, videos, e- books, and other materials within a fun and friendlyy environment of responsive customer service. The Library offers a diverse calendar of culturaal, historical, literary, and educational programs to enrich the lives of Allen’s residents and enhance the quality of community life.
Visitation, Circulation, and Circulation Per Capita
Annual Visits, or total number of library Visitation and Circculation patrons, is counted daily 1,200,000 by automated counters. FY2012 was the busiest 1,000,000 year in the Library’s 969,416 2 253 923 history in terms of 905,150
800,000 , 253 794,671 circulation, visitation, and 783,514 program attendance. Although the number of 600,000 visitors is estimated to increase very slightly for 400,000 345,934 335,858 332,533 FY2013, several factors 323 0 900 309 309 have had an impact on 200,000 , , 493 visitation. 900

For public libraries, fewer new materials will typically result in fewer visitors. The same trend was seen in FY2011 before, during, and after the Polaris migration.
During the RFID tagging, some of the collection was unavailable to the public during the process. The second floor was closed to the public for nine days during the scheduled carpet replacement in May. Normal traffic patterns were affeccted even after the second floor reopened and did not resume until June. The Summer Reading Programs did not begin until June 10 due to the unusually late last day of school for Allen ISD students.
City of Allen 294 FY2014 Budget Annual Checkouts, the total number of library items checked out, is projected to increase again as it has every year for at least 18 years (1996 is the earliest year for which statistics are available from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission). In FY2012, circulation surpassed 900,000 items forr the first time. Although circulation has been affected by the same factors as visitation, any increase over FY2012 would set another new benchmark.
Circulation Per Capita, the total number of checkouts divided by total population, has increased each year since FY2007 and is anticipated to increase again. Library staff continues to encourage library usage through a wellcoming environment, exceptional customer service, patron-oriented collection development practices, and internal and external marketing. The Library plans additional marketing efforts and increased outreach to schools and community groups in FY2014.
The Library’s circulation per capita is projected higher than 10 again for FY2013 with another increase anticipated for FY2014. Current Texas public library standards consider 7.5 to be excellent.

The size has also been affected by a collection buddget that, apart from a Collin County grant used for e-books, has not increased since FY2009. Volumes per capita also decreased in FY2013 due to the necessity to remove worn or ooutdated materials during the RFID migration project when every item in the collection was examined and considered. This weeding process eliminated the financial cost and staff time of re- tagging and reprogrg amming materials that did not justify retention.

Programs and Program Attendance
Library Programs include age-appropriate preschool storytimes; programs for elementary children, pre-teens, and teens; outreach programs to schools, Scout, and other community groups; classic movies; and book clubs as well as cultural, historical, literary, educational, craft, and travel programs. Every summer, the Library conducts summer reading programs for children, teens, and adults. # of Programs Attendance FY2012 began a new 900 50,000 focus to further 46,742 increase the diversity 800 of programs for Allen 735 810 40,000 citizens of all ages and interests. 700 34,401 In FY2013, Library 30,000 600 presented 800 or more programs for the third consecutive 500 20,000 year. FY2014 is 2010 2011 2012 2013 Est. 2014 Proj. projected to be comparable for both the number of programs and program attendance.
Reference Questions
Reference Questions measures the combined number of questions asked by library patrons at the first floor information desk, children’s desk, and second floor reference desk. Inquiries include requests for information about books and authors, reading lists and recommendations, Library materials and programs, consumer buying decisions, job hunting and resume creation, community referrals, and details of City activities and accomplishments.

Reference questions increased in FY2012 but have 50,000 2010 2011 2012 2013 Est. 2014 Proj. shown a slight decrease in FY2013 due to some of the same factors that impacted the circulation and visitation statistics.
Support Services Operations
The Library ensures that the collection remains current, relevant, and in good physical condition. When worn or outdated materials are replaced, new and replacement materials are made available as quickly as possible. New materials (including books, audio books, and DVD’s) must be entered intoo the Library’s Polaris database by Support Services staff, cataloged, processed for check out, and then checked in and shelved by other staff. Streamlined workflow procedures have reduced processing time to an average of six days with no increase in staffing.
In the Polaris system, the staff daily identifies and prioritizes newly arrived books and other items that are already requested by patrons in addition to other materials expected to be in high demand based on author, series, or subject. As a result, the most popular additions are readied for checkout more quickly than other new items.
City of Allen 297 FY2014 Budget Parks and Recreation
Department Introduction
The City’s parks, greenbelts, recreation, and tourism facilities are planned and maintained under the supervision of the Parks and Recreation Department. All expenses and revenue related to park maintenance, recreation, and the event center are located in the General Fund. Revenue and expenses for Chase Oaks Golf Course and the Convention & Visitors Bureau are located in separate Funds.
General Fund Cost Per Capita Cost per Capita
General Fund cost per capita includes $250 $214.54 all park and recreation related $205.39 $207.12 $205.37 operations, including administration, $200 park planning, and administration and $174.25 operation of the Allen Event Center. $150 In 2010 governmental accounting standards changed. In order to meet $100 the new standards all expenses in the Recreation Division that had previously been captured and funded $50 by revenue in the former Special Revenue Fund were rolled into the $0 General Fund. The revenue 2010 2011 2012 2013 Est. 2014 Proj. associated with these expenses was also rolled into the General Fund; however, that is not shown in this graph. Additionally, the City assumed operational control of the Allen Event Center in June, 2010. In FY11 the Allen Event Center officially became part of the Parks and Recreation Department Budget. It needs to be noted that this had a dramatic positive effect on revenue as well. The change in ticket services at the event center in FY11 from GetTix to Ticketmaster changed the way that ticket revenue was distributed. Previously, ticket revenue went directly from GetTix to the appropriate entity; however, now Ticketmaster sends all ticket revenue directly to the City which must then in turn expense the payment to the team/promoter. Again the associated revenue for this expense is not shown in this graph.

The fluctuation in both the community park and neighborhood park numbers are indicative of our population growth exceeding park development; however, as population growth has slowed in the last few years park development is starting to catch up allowing for stabilization and even some slight recovery in the ratios. Developments anticipated to come online in FY13 include the second phase of Morgan Crossing Park and the redevelopment of Hillside Park.

For several $4,887 $4,975 $5,000 $4,787 years, cost efficiency initiatives $4,372 $4,430 allowed the department to maintain $4,000 Allen’s award-winning park system at high standards during difficult $3,000 economic times. Starting in FY12,
the cost per acre rate has been $2,000 falling. This was primarily due to 2010 2011 2012 2013 Est. 2014 Proj. increased pricing competition on contracted maintenance. In FY13 the City consolidated all utility and fuel expenses into one division which dramatically reduced overall maintenance costs as tracked in the Parks and Recreation budget even though costs increased is specific areas. Costs are expected to increase slightly in FY14.

This program is a collaboration with healthcare providers to provide seniors (age 65 and older), as well as persons with disabilities, the opportunity to utilize facilities and programs as a benefit of their health insurance. The city is reimbursed by the healthcare provider for visits. The program is tracked in the membership line item.
In FY09 the Youth Center transitioned into the Visitor Center. This continues to impact membership sales downward as membership is no longer necessary to utilize the lobby space of the facility. However, membership is still required for the use of the computer and media rooms – both of which are still dedicated to youth use. In FY14, a complete analysis of the Visitor Center will take place to determine future use of the center.
City of Allen 300 FY2014 Budget
With the opening of new fitness facilities and swim clubs in Allen, DRN and JFRC memberships have seen decline. Fitness equipment at ASRC has not been upgraded since the facility opened in 2006 and was last updated at DRN and JFRC in 2007. Facility amenities such as locker rooms and maintenance continue to be customer concerns as none of the facilities have received any non-mechanical major upgrades since their openings.
Customer Satisfaction
The REAL philosophy is the Parks and Recreation Department’s guiding customer service program now in its fifth year of execution. All Parks and Recreation staff are introduced and trained on the tailor made customer service model within the first months of employment, while existing employees undergo regular training. Supervisory staff are all going through a supervisor/manager training update in 2013 to ensure customer service practices and expectations remain relevant. The Recreation Division uses a variety of surveys, comment cards, trailer (follow up) phone calls, and various other means to measure satisfaction. The benchmark goal for customer satisfaction has been set at 95%.

The acts that were able to be booked were not able to generate sufficient ticket sales to meet revenue requirements. Staff is now focusing on booking only one concert per quarter which allows resources to be concentrated on only 4 events thereby allowing the booking of bigger acts which are generating more ticket sales.

Police Department
Department Introduction
The Police Department’s mission is to prevent crimes and to enforce local, state and federal laws and to provide for the safety of people and protection of property in the community. The department is comprised of the Office of the Chief of Police and three divisions: Patrol Services, Criminal Investigations and Support Services. The Police Department maintains several specialized units such as Community Relations, School Resource OOfficers, SWAT, K-9, Traffic, 9-1-1 Communications, Internal Affairs, and is also responsible for animal control services and operation of the animal shelter.
Crime Rates Each year, cities and police departments throughout the country calculate, examine and make necessary changes in reporting the previous year’s ccrime rate statistics. Generally, crime trends in America are based upon two factors:
. Crime Volume – the aggregate sum of the Crime Index; and
. Crime Rates – the rate at which crimes are expressed as a number per 1,000 residents. This figure compensates for the changes in population.
All projections for 2013 are based on prior call history, projections made by the department and other factors.
PART I CRIMES (Major Crimes) In the 2012 calendar year, the Allen Police Department eexperienced a decrease in Part I crimes. Part I crimes are those serious offenses which includde Murder, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Robbery, Arson, Burglary, Larceny-Theft and Motor Vehicle Theft. Part II crimes generally refer to those crimes that include, but are not necessarily limited to Forgery, Fraud, Stolen Property, Criminal Mischief, Liquor Law violations and Weapons offenses. Major Criimes 2500 2000 2235 2235 2178 1500 2146 1971 1971 1850 1000 500 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Projected
The City of Allen experienced an overall decrease of approximately 8.8% in the Uniform Crime Index-defined Part I crimes as compared to 2011. The decrease is based upon raw nuumber comparisons. Many of the Part I offenses are considered “crimes of passion” or heat of the moment type incidents, and there are truly no predictability factors available to help reduce or prevent their occurrence. The department also calculates crime rates that factor in the increase in population growth. When population growth (crimes per 1,000 rresidents) is factored in, the decrease in Part I crimes is 12.1%. In 2011, there were 24.65 Part I crimes reported per 1,000 residents. In 2012, that number decreased to 21.97 per 1,000 residents.
City of Allen 305 FY2014 Budget
Based on UCR Part I crime (major crimes) statistics from January 1 through June 30, 2013 Part I incidents are expected to decrease.
PART II CRIMES (Minor Crimes) The Department experienced an increase in the number of Part II crimes reported in 2012 over 2011. Ann overall raw-data comparison indicates an increase of 4% over 2011. When population growth is factored in, as described in the Part I crimes section, there was a 2.4% increase in 2012 Part II crimes per 1,000 residents when compareed to 2011. Many of these offenses can be attributed to stolen property-type offenses occurring within the many residenntial subdivisions now being developed throughout our community. The department continues to see high numbers of reported thefts and other associated property crimes. In 2012, there were 29.72 Part II crimes reported per 1,000 residents as compared to 299.02 in 2011.
To proactively address the Part II increases in crimess, the department has created a small speciailized unit consisting a two officers. Their mission is identify certain crimes and patterns and to actively work to reduce the frequency of these crimes (and related crimes) through proactive measures and enforcement / investigative efforts. The deepartment has already seen a drop in certain crimes in the first six months of 2013 as a result of their efforts. Minor Crimes 2,750 2,700 2,650

Traffic As the City and surrounding areas continue to grow, the police department will continue to experience growth in the traffic volume. In 2012, the number of minor (non-injury) accidents increased 4.4%, and the number of major (injury) accidents decreased 11.6% oveer 2011. Additionally, the number of fatality accidents in 2012 remained constant. In both 2011 and 2012 there were two persons killed as the result of motor vehicle accidents. It should be noted that the department did not renew a year-round traffic enforcement grant in FY 2012 and 2013 due to budgetary constraints, but did apply for a FY 2014 grant. The police department also had several technology projects (CAD / RMS) implemented over the past fiscal year that impacted our prevention and enforcement efforts.

Calls for Service In 2012, the police department experienced a 9.8% decrease in total calls for service as follows:

In November 2011, the Allen Police Department made several changes to how calls for police services were entered in to the dispatching system or handled by officers. Calls for service were no longer entered (did not receive a call for service number) for most special watches, fingerprint calls, prisoner releases/visitations/checks or property releases. In April 2012, broadcasts calls were no longer entered as calls for service. This information is now disseminated through the CAD BOLO feature. This change provides a more accurate number of calls for service for that the department. To provide for a standardized representation of historical CFS data, 2010 and 2011 CFS numbers were updated.
The Allen Police Department continues its proactive approach to crime prevention and Community Oriented Policing. In 2012, the department conducted more than 120,000 Directed Patrols and 18,000 Park & Walks. Additionally, volunteer programs such as the Citizens on Patrol, Citizens Police Academy and Volunteers in Policing programs donated more than 10,000 hours of time to the department. This translates into a savings of thousands of dollars and supports our Community Oriented Policing philosophies.

In addition, this unit Calls for Service Calls administers animal adoptions and 2,000 provides housing and care for stray and unwanted animals. In 2012, the 1,000 Animal Control Unit responded to 4,656 calls for service. This is a 0 decrease from 2011. In 2010, the 2009 2010 2011 2012
Unit also implemented micro- 2013 chipping all adopted animals to its Projected normal operating procedure. Micro-chipping services will continue to be available to residents for their cats and dogs in 2012. It is anticipated that the Animal Control Unit will continue to see a slight increased call volume as the city continues to grow.
