Demo Along Locust Street on Downtown Square—A temporary fence has been installed along the sidewalk on the east side of Locust Street on the downtown square in order to allow some demolition work to occur on the wall on the north side of the Mini Mall property. The fence is in the same approximate location as the one that was up immediately after the fire. The temporary fence blocks the sidewalk and a few parking spaces. Economic Development has been in contact with the surrounding businesses regarding this issue. The fence is expected to be up 4 to 6 weeks, but will be removed as soon as the work is complete. Staff contact: Julie Glover, Economic Development D. Denton Public Library Community Input for Strategic Planning — The Denton Public Library is seeking community input to help identify priorities and goals for the next three year Library Strategic Plan. Three public input meetings were held last week to solicit feedback and ideas from members of the public. Participants provided insight into their vision for the Denton Public Library,defined the values that the library should embody, and suggested areas for development, growth and change for future services, activities and planning. Community members who were unable to attend the meetings are encouraged to take the online community input survey. The Library invites members of the public to complete an online survey. Visit http://Iibrga.cityofdenton.com/and click the link on the library website to take the 20 question survey. The survey will be available until noon on Monday, Nov. 5. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library E. Pension Benefits for Public Safety Dispatchers — On Oct. 16, the City Council received a work session presentation on pension options to address turnover and retention issues with public safety dispatch employees. Historically, Denton's public safety dispatch employees have been required to participate in the Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (DFRRF) instead of the Texas Municipal Retirement System which is offered to non-public safety City employees. Retention issues associated with public safety dispatch employees stem from vesting requirements, relatively high employee contribution rates, and the lack of portability to other municipalities. Staff has worked with the Fire Association and DFRRF Board to consider a potential agreement which would require all new dispatch employees to enroll in TMRS and allow existing dispatch employees to choose between DFRRF and TMRS membership. At the conclusion of the Oct. 16 presentation, City Council directed staff to survey current public safety dispatch employees to get their opinion on how to proceed with pension options. Attached are the results from the survey. 18 employees completed the survey, 44% of which are currently enrolled in DFRRF. 69% of survey respondents said they feel DFRRF is an impediment to recruiting dispatch personnel. The proposed agreement has been discussed with the DFRRF Board chairman and president of the Denton Firefighters Association. Both organizations have indicated that they are supportive of the agreement,but it will need to be formally ratified by the association membership and approved by the DFRRF board. Assuming approval by these two groups, staff intends to bring an agreement to Council for consideration in November and have the changes be effective on January 1, 2019. Staff contact: Bryan Langley, CMO F. Streetlight Audit — Over the past week, Denton Municipal Electric (DME) has conducted a system-wide streetlight audit. The audit was conducted at night and included an inspection of all 7,400 streetlights and 2,400 dusk-to-dawn security lights across the City. DME identified 636 streetlight outages through their audit, which represents approximately 6.45% of all streetlights. DME field personnel have developed a plan to address all current outages, with a goal of completing these repairs prior to the end of Daylight Savings Time on Nov. 4. Historically, DME repairs approximately 1,400 streetlights, or about 14% of the total lights each year. As streetlights are replaced, DME is upgrading the lights to LED. LED streetlights have a longer lifespan than the traditional high pressure sodium (HPS) lights and have remote monitoring capabilities, which will allow DME to be more proactive in their response to streetlight outages. Since the majority of DME's current streetlights are HPS and do not have built-in monitoring capabilities, residents are encouraged to report streetlight outages. Below are the two primary ways that residents can currently report streetlight outages: 1. Calling DME's 24-hour System Operations &Dispatch Center(940- 349-7000) 2. Reporting online through the City of Denton Website's "Report an Issue"page (https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/report-an-issue) Staff contact: George Morrow, DME G. City of Denton Joins National Campaign to End Veteran Homelessness — On Thursday, Oct. 25, Mayor Chris Watts announced that the City of Denton, in collaboration with the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team, has accepted the challenge to end veteran homelessness in our community. Mayor Watts made the announcement at the 4th Annual Denton County Homeless Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair, an event designed to provide support and resources directly to Denton County's homeless veterans. Additional information about the National Campaign to End Veteran Homelessness and the City's partnership efforts with the non-profit community to support veterans currently experiencing homelessness and ultimately bring that number to zero can be found in the attached press release. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers H.

The attached organization chart highlights the changes in yellow. Finance Finance Director, Tony Puente will be promoted to the role of Chief Financial Officer. In this new capacity, Tony will maintain oversight of Accounting, Budget, Treasury, and Customer Service. Additionally, with the departure of Mark Nelson, I will be reassigning the oversight of Fleet Services and the Airport to Tony. Denton Animal Services, which is currently a division of the Denton Police Department, will become a division of Customer Service and be managed by Tiffany Thomson. Tiffany has also been promoted to the Director of Customer Service and will report to the Chief Financial Officer. The reason for this reorganization is to focus Police resources on core public safety functions, while continuing to emphasize, and support a strong customer-focused service delivery model at the Animal Shelter. Development Services and Development Review Engineering In an effort to further improve the development review process and Development Services' ability to respond to internal and community requests, a few organizational changes are being implemented. The primary organizational change is formally integrating the current Development Review Engineering group (DRC Engineering) within the Development Services Department. Existing DRC staff will be staffing a newly created Engineering Services Division, which will become part of the Capital Projects Department. Deputy City Engineer, Pritam Deshmukh will manage the Engineering Services Division. The new division will provide technical review services utilizing five in-house engineers, and two engineering technicians. The division will also manage the recently approved contract with HR Green to provide additional engineering review capacity given the heavy workload in this area due to growth. Development Services is adding three Project Facilitator positions to coordinate the development review process with Planning, Engineering Services, Denton Municipal Electric, Building Inspections, Legal, Page 12 and external agencies with an increased emphasis on pre-development meetings. Project Facilitators will serve as a single point of contact for applicants and will bolster Development Services' "One-Stop- Shop" approach to centralize the development process in a single location. Charlie Rosendahl has also been promoted from his current role as a Management Analyst in Public Affairs to the Development Services Business Service Manager. Additionally, Haywood Morgan, Urban Forester, will transition to a newly created Forestry Division in the Parks and Recreation Department to better coordinate the City's Urban Forestry program. The regulatory aspects of landscaping and tree preservation on private property will continue to be administered through Development Services. City Manager's Office Current Assistant to the City Manager, Rachel Wood will be promoted to the role of Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff role will be responsible for coordinating strategic planning and administrative functions across the organization and will include supervisory responsibilities for the City Manager's Office administrative staff, the City Secretary's Office, and Reprographics. The Assistant to the City Manager position will report to Rachel and we plan on recruiting for this position immediately.

City of Denton Joins National Campaign to End Veteran Homelessness Mayor asks for donations to Homelessness Barriers Fund; support from landlords DENTON, TX, Oct. 25, 2018—Mayor Chris Watts announced today that the City of Denton, jointly with the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team, have accepted the challenge to end veteran homelessness in our community. Mayor Watts made the announcement at the 4tn Annual Denton County Homeless Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair, an event designed to provide support and resources directly to Denton County's homeless veterans. The Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team, a Collective Impact initiative managed by United Way of Denton County and funded and championed by the City of Denton, adopted the goal to end veteran homelessness by 2020 into its strategic plan. Support and participation from organizations and municipalities from across Denton County is anticipated. The Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness is an interagency initiative launched in June 2014 led by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. The goal of the initiative is to coordinate efforts among local, state, and federal agencies to develop partnerships with cities to end homelessness in their communities. "Our commitment to end veteran homelessness is a call to action," said Mayor Chris Watts. "We're not going to do this by doing nothing. It will be a coordinated effort between leaders from across the public, private, and nonprofit sector." During his remarks, Mayor Watts urged the support of the community and landlords in reaching this goal. He encouraged donations to the Denton County Homelessness Barriers Fund, a fund which reduces barriers to housing by increasing resources for nonprofits working with families to promote housing stability and self-sufficiency. Landlords and property managers were challenged to join him in making units accessible to move the needle toward ending veteran homelessness. "We have to realize that if we do business as usual, we're not going to get there," lamented Chris Martin, President of the Denton County Veteran Coalition. "Every partner is going to have to make a fundamental shift to get where we're going." Watts applauded the collaborative county-wide efforts to address veteran homelessness, including the launch of the Denton County Veterans Center in 2017, securing HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers, and implementing a Coordinated Entry system so every person experiencing homelessness in Denton County can be identified and matched to appropriate services. "Denton County service providers have worked tirelessly over the past two years to collaborate and implement Coordinated Entry to better identify people experiencing homelessness," explained Courtney Cross, United Way of Denton County Director of Homelessness Initiatives. "As of today, there are 48 veteran households experiencing homelessness in Denton County, and we are confident we can work together to bring that number to zero." Just this week, United Way of Denton County and the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team launched the Denton County Homelessness Data Dashboard giving a critical overview of households and students across Denton County experiencing homelessness. Sources for this data are obtained from a network of nonprofits collecting information with Coordinated Entry. Held at the Denton Civic Center, the Stand Down provided homeless veterans clothing, shoes, food, and haircuts, as well as access to a variety of housing, employment, and medical services. 2 Oak/Congress/Fulton/Egan Traffic and Parking Management Walking Tour Thursday, November 1, 2018 Time: 5:30—7:00 pm Meeting Place: Fulton &West Oak If you plan to attend, please email Ron Menguita at ron.menguita@citvofdenton.com so that staff can prepare accordingly for the Walking Tour.

DR-2 and DC-G districts vary in density and a building scale. • DR-2: The maximum building height in DR-2 District is 45 feet,the maximum floor to area ratio(FAR)is 0.75,the maximum density is 30 dwelling units per acre, and the maximum lot coverage is 75%. °�`6 • DC-G: Permits a maximum density of 150 dwelling units per acre, maximum lot coverage of 85%, a maximum FAR of 3, and a maximum building height of 100 feet. There _ is no requirement for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for multi-family dwellings in either DR-2 District or DC-G District. at' 2018 Zoning Map Date: October 26, 2018 Report No. 2018-154 Staff research the history of the zoning pattern in the area surrounding the Park 7 site. In 1941,the City of Denton had three zoning districts: Dwelling, Business, and Manufacturing. The subject property was governed by the Dwelling District, which permitted various residential and institutional uses such as apartment houses and boarding houses. Building heights were limited to 35 feet with a 25-foot setback, but could increase with additional setbacks. Prior to 1957,the property at the corner of Scripture and Normal was rezoned to Business District, which permitted commercial uses in addition to residential uses. Building height was increased to 50 feet,but could be raised with additional setbacks.

Both districts permitted multi-family dwellings. As to building scale, the Office District designation did not limit building heights, but MF-1 District limited building height to a maximum of three stories. T r 1969 Zoning Map The 1991 zoning map varied slightly from 1969, with a northward expansion of the MF-1 designation. Generally, many of the site's permitted uses and development scale remained consistent between 1969 and 1991,with the exception that multi-family dwellings were no longer permitted in the Office District. However, Dormitory, Boarding, or Rooming House uses were permitted. ^I Frl � r ( i 1991 Zoning Map Date: October 26, 2018 Report No. 2018-154 In 2016, Lee Allison with Allison Engineering applied to rezone the portion of the Park 7 property with the DR-2 District zoning designation to DC-G District as part of a proposed collegiate housing development. That rezoning request was denied by the City Council in April 2017. PROJECT TIMELINE: As a part of the 2016 rezoning request, the applicant hosted two neighborhood meetings and the public was notified in accordance with State and City requirements. Additionally, two public meetings were held in association with the Planning and Zoning Commission and one public meeting was held at City Council. A full project timeline with detail is listed below: • September 13, 2016—the developer submitted an application for a Pre-Development Meeting (PDM16-0125), which included a concept plan and narrative for a collegiate housing development and parking garage. • September 19, 2016—The property owner submitted an application to rezone approximately 1.39 acres from DR-2 District to DC-G District (Z16-0023) • October 5, 2016—First neighborhood meeting. o Staff provided the applicant with address lists for property owners within 200 feet and residents within 500 feet of the request. A letter was mailed to each of the addresses. The list of addresses and residents contacted is included as Exhibit 1. o Exhibit 2 is a copy of the event letter. o Exhibit 3 is a scanned copy of the event sign-in sheet. 13 members of the public attended the meeting, including Council Member Wazny. • December 7, 2016—Second neighborhood meeting. o The second meeting was advertised in the same manner as the first meeting and was attended by 11 members of the public. ■ Exhibit 4 is a copy of the event letter. ■ Exhibit 5 is a scanned copy of the event sign-in sheet. o Initial renderings of the proposed project, similar to those submitted with the rezoning application, were shown. ■ Renderings included architectural elements and building materials comparable to those in the surrounding neighborhoods. o Building height was an issue expressed by residents in attendance. • February 22, 2017—Planning and Zoning Commission (Rezoning) o The applicant asked for a postponement to the March 8, 2017 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to have time to clarify building heights and setbacks required for development. o The Commission allowed citizens in attendance to speak on the item, but kept the public hearing open so that citizen comment would also be permitted at the March 8 meeting. Date: October 26, 2018 Report No. 2018-154 • March 8, 2017—Planning and Zoning Commission (Rezoning) o During the Public Hearing, sixteen total comment cards were submitted o Commissioner Rozell requested clarification, that if the rezoning is not approved, the applicant could develop a ten-story building per the existing category • Applicant Paul Levine confirmed that he could develop a ten-story building by right with current zoning. • This confirmation from the March 8 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting can be found if you fast forward to 3:25:25 using the link below: http://denton- tx.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=3&clip id=1403&met a id=148342 o The developer of the proposed project spoke at the March 8 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.He indicated that the intent was to develop the site regardless of the outcome of the rezoning request, maximizing the development potential of the land area within DC-G District, which could result in a 100-foot tall building. o At the closure of the public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission made a motion to approve the request and to place an overlay district over the entire site requiring staggered heights of the structure. This motion failed and a new motion was made to deny the request on the grounds that there was insufficient information and time to address an overlay district. This motion passed 5-2. o The list of speakers at the Public Hearing is attached as Exhibit 6. o Minutes from this public hearing can be found on pages 10-12 of the link provided below: hqp://denton-tx.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=denton- tx 179a29c4aba0664e4a6468dlbf3dd89b.pdf&view=l. • April 4, 2017—City Council meeting (Rezoning) o Members of the public spoke at the City Council meeting, reiterating the concerns regarding compatibility, traffic, and collegiate housing. o During the deliberations, City Council discussed the possibility of a 100-foot tower on the site. It was understood that the property owner had the right to develop a multi-family collegiate housing facility under its current zoning. o Mayor Watts clarified that the developer has a right to pursue a development that is consistent with the property's current zoning designation. ■ This statement can be found if you fast forward to 7:18:18 using the link below: • http://denton- tx.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=3&clip id=1413&met a id=149807 o Since the Planning and Zoning Commission did not recommend approval, a supermajority was required to approve the request. A motion was made to approve; however, that motion failed and the rezoning request was denied(4-3). Date: October 26, 2018 Report No. 2018-154 o The list of speakers at the Public Hearing is attached as Exhibit 7. 0 o Minutes from this public hearing can be found on pages 8-10 of the link provided below: hLtp://denton-tx.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=denton- tx d98088d2d6e2f2c76571aac76ec8ac74.pdf&view=l • August 9, 2017—Planning and Zoning Commission(Replat Request) 0 Item FR17-0014 was a replat request to combine all three acres into a single lot. o The request was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission(5-0). • July 30, 2018—Site plan application was completed and sent to staff for review (SP18- 0031). • August 13, 2018Development Review Committee Site Plan comments released to applicant. o Exhibit 8 includes the Development Review Committee's comments back to the developer. 0 The applicant is currently working to address the issues identified by staff. 0 As of October 22,the applicant has not resubmitted the site plan. Once the applicant resubmits plans, staff will conduct a full review of the project to ensure corrections have been made and to determine if modifications are compliant with the DDC and other regulations. If the applicant fails to meet the City's regulatory requirements, the project will not be approved and a building permit will not be issued. • July 10, 2018Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Route Assessment was submitted by the Applicant. 0 Staff is currently reviewing the assessment provided by the applicant. ■ Based on their initial assessment, staff believes the auto/vehicular traffic impact will be low based on the projected number of trips generated during peak hours (7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.). ■ The primary impact will be to the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure as students commute from the project location to the UNT campus, restaurants, and surrounding transit facilities. 0 Staff anticipates finalizing their review of the assessment and will provide comments to the applicant by mid-November. CONCLUSION: The proposed development falls within the parameters of the property's current zoning designation, meaning City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit or rezoning is not required. Preliminary review of the Traffic Impact Analysis indicates that the proposed project will not necessitate public improvements that would require City Council approval for a Development Agreement. Staff will provide additional details about the Park 7 development during the November 13 City Council Work Session. Date: October 26, 2018 Report No. 2018-154 Using feedback from the Park 7 development and other recent collegiate housing projects, staff is developing a new "Collegiate Housing" zoning designation which will be incorporated into the update of the Denton Development Code. Additional information about the new "Collegiate Housing" designation will be presented during the December 4 Work Session.

The information below provides a brief history of the City of Denton Landfill, an overview of the landfill permitting process and public notifications within that process, and where the City of Denton currently stands within the amendment process. DISCUSSION: The City of Denton Landfill is a Type 1 Municipal Solid Waste Facility, currently holding Permit #1590-A through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Based on current waste tonnage and future growth projects, staff estimates that the 207 acres allotted for disposal in Permit#1590-A will be depleted by 2028. To address the community's future waste disposal needs, the City filed for an amendment to the current permit in January 2017. This expansion will result in an increase of 173.64 acres within the permit boundary and 107.64 acres of waste footprint for total areas of 402.54 and 261.41 acres, respectively when added to the current footprint. Taking into consideration the historical and estimated future waste acceptance rates, including local and regional population growth, the landfill will have a remaining life of approximately 71.7 years (last year of operation is approximately the year 2088) if the permit is amended as requested. The permit amendment application proposes a vertical and lateral expansion of the waste limits, and a lateral expansion of the permit boundary. The majority of the expansion will occur to the north of the existing landfill,the planned expansion will all take place on property that is currently owned by the City. The boundaries were selected based on property lines, flood plain considerations, an Atmos gas line to the north of the site, and other geographic restrictions. Based on landfill records and an aerial survey, the remaining waste capacity after Permit Amendment approval is approximately 40,288,920 cubic yards. The expansion is filed under Permit#1590-B. Table 1 shows the current costs related to the permitting process. To-date, the City of Denton has expended over$2.1 million to permit this expansion for environmental services,engineering,legal, permitting, and other services.

Breakdown of permitting costs The Permit is currently under technical review by the TCEQ. During this portion of the process, TCEQ issues requests for clarification on the application and asks for revisions to the permit submission. City staff then formulates responses to the agency's requests as the two parties fine- tune the specifics of the application. The most recent responses from the City were sent to TCEQ in August. Although circumstance may apply,the TCEQ follows the following basic process for public notice of a Type 1 MSW landfill permit application: 1)TCEQ will issue a Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Permit(NORI). When the administrative review of the application is complete, this notice is mailed to the City for publishing and to required mailing list of government officials and certain landowners. The NORI will give details of where you can look at a hard copy of the permit application, and also contains links to the MSW permit applications portion of the TCEQ website. This notice was posted in the Denton Record-Chronicle on April 3, 2017. 2) Once the NORI is mailed, the public may start submitting comments. Requests for a public meeting or a contested case hearing can also be made,as well as requests to be added to the mailing list for future notices. Public commenting is still available on the TCEQ website under permit number 1590B, and a hard copy is available to view through the City Secretary's office. 3) After the permit is deemed technically complete and the executive director has made a preliminary decision, TCEQ will issue notices requesting comments from members of the public. This is sent in the form of a Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision (NAPD). This notice is mailed to a list of government officials and certain landowners, anyone who submitted comments,requested a public meeting or contested case hearing, or requested to be on the mailing list for future notices. The public comment period typically ends 30 days from the publication date of the NAPD. The publication date is significant because TCEQ only considers timely filed comments. Date: October 26,2018 Report No. 2018-155 The TCEQ gathers all comments received at the end of the public comment period and responds as they are able. Once all of the comments have been responded to, the TCEQ will create a document called the "response to comments" and will send that document to everyone who submitted a comment or requested to be added to the mailing list. Additionally, someone may request a public meeting for the landfill expansion. If this meeting is held, the public may ask TCEQ staff and the City of Denton staff questions regarding the permit, and give comments. Anyone may ask for a public meeting any time between the date the NORI is mailed and the end of the comment period. As stated above, the City of Denton is currently in the technical review portion of the permitting process. Staff expects the permit to be approved in 2019. BACKGROUND: Originally, the City of Denton Landfill was permitted(#1590) in 1984 and began accepting waste on March 13, 1985. The original pre-subtitle D landfill design included approximately 2.4 million cubic yards of air space, and was estimated to have a life of 28 years. In 1996, the City of Denton amended the landfill's waste permit to include additional space for disposal of waste.The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission approved MSW Permit #1590-A in 1997,which added 207 acres onto the permit limit,and expanded the permitted landfill to approximately 243 acres The Landfill has continues operations under this permit since that time. Two significant modifications to the Permit since 1997 allowed for 1) Enhanced Leachate Recirculation techniques in 2009, and 2)construction and operation of a grease and grit trap waste processing facility in October of 2013. Throughout the years, as the city continued to grow, Solid Waste &Recycling has seen increases in tonnage of waste that is handled and buried in the landfill. Table 2 shows the tonnage of waste accepted to be processed in the landfill over the past 10 years as broken down by the source. • "Commercial Collections" refers to the amount of waste (in tons) collected by the Solid Waste commercial division within city limits. • "Residential Collections" refers to the amount of waste (in tons) collected by the Solid Waste residential division within city limits. • "Landfill—City Department"refers to the amount of waste (in tons)brought to the landfill by internal City of Denton departments. • "Landfill —Denton Resident/Business" refers to the amount of waste (in tons) brought to the landfill by residents or businesses located within city limits. • "Landfill—Non-Denton Resident/Business"refers to the amount of waste(in tons)brought to the landfill by entities that are not located within Denton. • "Landfill—Wholesale"refers to the amount of waste (in tons)that is collected and brought to landfill by outside waste haulers.

In regard to future volume projections, staff anticipates residential and commercial growth to remain steady at approximately 2% per year. In terms of landfill and recycling tonnage, the recycling market will play a key role in Solid Waste's volumes. In January 2018, China banned the import of recyclable materials from foreign countries. Approximately 31% of domestic recyclable materials were being exported to China before the ban, and China's decision has resulted in significant changes in the recycling commodities market. While Denton's relationship with Pratt Industries, owner of Denton's onsite material recovery facility, has insulated the City from significant financial losses, the excess supply of recyclables in the commodities market means contaminated materials may be landfilled at a higher rate until the recycling market recovers. As a result, it is a priority for the City to decrease recycling contamination for both residential and commercial waste streams. STAFF CONTACT: Ethan Cox Director of Solid Waste 940-349-7421 Ethan.Cox(a,cityofdenton.com Date: October 26,2018 Report No. 2018-156 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: New Market Tax Credits EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: During its October 9, 2018, regular meeting, Council received a Citizen Report on the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program from Pat Smith of Serve Denton. Staff prepared this report to provide further information on NMTCs. It includes regulatory information, terminology, an overview of the NMTC process, Serve Denton's local example, and the pros and cons of using the NMTC program. BACKGROUND: The New Market Tax Credits program was created in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000. Regulations for the program fall under Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code. The agency that is charged with overseeing and administering the program is the Certified Development Financial Institution (CDFI), a division of Treasury Department. The credit authority for the program is authorized by Congress. DISCUSSION: The NMTC Program was created to encourage private investment in low-income communities through the use of federal income tax credits. The annual allocations are awarded on a discretionary basis and are very competitive. The program was designed to grant individual and corporate investors a tax credit against their federal income tax. Definitions A number of terms are necessary to understand the NMTC Program and the roles of the different entities involved in the process. The main ones are included below. Certified Development Financial Institution (CDFI): a division of Treasury Department with the credit authority for the program authorized by Congress. The agency is charged with oversight of the NMTC program. New Market Tax Credits (NMTCs) are granted for a 7-year term. This allows for a 5% credit in years 1-3 and a 6% credit in years 4-7 for a total credit of 39% of the investment. Certified Development Entit (CDE � an intermediary that makes the investment or the loan. The CDE must be certified by the CDFI. Banks, developers and local governments are eligible to become a CDE. Qualified Equity Investment (QEI) an investment paid to the CDE to obtain equity in the CDE. The CDE grants this investment as a QEI. Qualified Low-Income Community Investment(QLICI) is typically a loan or investment. Date: October 26,2018 Report No. 2018-156 Qualified Active Low-Income Community Business (OALICB) is a recipient of a loan; it can be a business or a non-profit. Low Income Community desi n� requires a census tract with a poverty rate which exceeds 20% or the median income is below 80% of the greater of the state or metropolitan statistical area (Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington) median income. The eligible NMTC 2010 Census tracts in Denton are included in Exhibit 1. Process yF�Taf l. own The CDFI Fund makes NMTC awards to certified Community Development Entitles-like Capital Impact Partners-through a competitive application process.Here's how the program works: 1,A CDE submits an application to the CDFI Fund requesting the authority to allocate a • specific dollar amount of tax credits to attract private capital that can be utilized to finance projects in low-income communities 2.If approved,the CDE is awarded the authority to allocate tax credits to an investor 3.The investor chosen by the CDE receives a tax credit totaling 39 percent of the cost of the mvestment.The investor can claim that tax credit over a period of seven years. 4,In exchange for those tax credits.the investor makes a Qualified Equity Investment(QEO in the CDE. 5,The CDE uses the QEIs it receives from the investor to finance businesses or real estate projects in low-income communities. Visual depiction of the NMTC Process from Capital Impact Partners The first step in the application process is certification. A Certified Development Entity (CDE) intermediary must be certified by the CDFI in order to be eligible under the NMTC program. The second step is the completion and submittal of an application. The funding cycle opens in with the Notice of Allocation Availability (NOAA) in May and is awarded the following winter. The application consists of five parts: Business Strategy, Community Outcomes, Management Capacity, Capitalization Strategy and Previous Awards. If selected, the third step in the application process is the award announcement, which is followed by the allocation Agreement. The final step is compliance and reporting on the measurable community impact of the NMTC project. Date: October 26,2018 Report No. 2018-156 If selected for funding, a CDE identifies equity investors. The NMTCs usually are combined with other funding sources, such as historic tax credits, in order to make the projects work. Examples of projects CDEs invest in are: manufacturing, retail, or healthcare facilities. NMTCs are subject to recapture if the QEI does not pass the "substantially-all" requirement. This involves a failure to: invest 85% of the original QEI, meet QALICB requirements, or meet the one-year investment requirement. A table with the six Texas CDEs that received NMTC allocations in 2016 and 2017 is included in Exhibit 2. Please note that the table has active links for more information on each project. Exhibit 3 provides a link to a video which does a good job of explaining the NMTC process. NMTC Example Pat Smith of Serve Denton spoke to Council on October 9, 2018, regarding the nonprofit's use of NMTC's as a portion of the funding for its new facility. Staff contacted Mr. Smith to discuss how Serve Denton structured its NMTC project. Serve Denton engaged an NMTC consultant, a law firm specializing in NMTCs, and an accounting firm specializing in NMTCs to vet the project and guide them through the process. They used a bank in Washington, D.C. called Capital Impact Partners as the CDE. Mr. Smith said that one of the key elements with an NMTC project is that all of the components (funding, permitting, etc.) have to be in place at closing—in other words, it has to be a "shovel ready" project. He added that NMTCs, while difficult to establish, were easier to administer in the long term than other federal grant programs. Pros and Cons Some of the advantages and disadvantages of the NMTC program are included in the table below. DisadvantagesAdvantages Residential rental property not considered a qualifying Mixed use projects can be a qualifying business business Tax credit claims are 5%each year for the for the 1st 3 years and 6%each year for the next 4 years for a total of 39%, Tax credits can be claimed in 7 years usually need to be combined with other funding Can be combined with historic rehabilitation tax credits Cannot be combined with low income tax credits Local government and quasi-governmental CDEs were QALICB(business)generally receives favorable awarded less often and for smaller allocations,2%of terms or equity,but need to provide collateral to the projects in 2013 were associated with governmental or tribal CDE or anizations2 Leveraging of the equity investment and the loan allow for a return that is closer to a conventional Credit allocation process is very complicated and loan, competitive 25%of applicants receive the allocation NMTC administration is easier to administer in the The tax credit equals 39%of the Qualified Equity long term than some federal grant programs. Investment(QEI).Investor may have borrowed to make the equity investment A CDE may be able to provide a grant and/or a The initial program is difficult to establish and requires bride loan to assist with closing funding and permitting components to be in place at closing Date: October 26,2018 Report No. 2018-156 1 Holland and Knight's Leveraged Model 2Source: Tax Policy Center Briefing Book"A Citizen's Guide to the Fascinating(though often Complex)Elements of the Federal tax System,"2016 CONCLUSION While NMTCs present an alternative avenue for project funding, local government projects typically make up under 5% of the project awards in a given year. When considering the use of NMTCs, careful consideration must be given to the benefits and drawbacks of this federal program.
