City of Southlake Annual Program Evaluation Of the Crime Control and Prevention District October 2002 - September 2003 Rick Black Director of Public Safety Crime Control and Prevention District Board Members Martin Schelling Lou Ann Heath President Bob Mundlin Stuart Spencer Vice President Pam McCain Craig Sturtevant Frank Pittman SOUTHLAKE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT ANNUAL PROGRAM EVALUATION Southlake voters created the Southlake Crime Control and Prevention District in November 1997 and a half -cent sales tax to fund the District was authorized. Voters dictated that the City Council appoints an independent Board of Directors to oversee the District. The Board of Directors was subsequently appointed by the City Council for the District and began its work in December with the identification of specific strategies for addressing public safety within the city and the development and adoption of a budget to accomplish the strategies. The Board of Directors and staff identified four (4) strategies which are listed below: Strategy 1- Enhancing Community Safety through Modern, Efficient Facilities Strategy 2- Enhance Community Safety through the Use of Modern Technology & Equipment Strategy 3- Enhance Community Safety through Professional Development Strategy 4- Enhance Community Safety through Special Police Initiatives During the course of the initial five -year authorization of the district, the board and staff worked diligently to address these four strategies. An audit of each year of the five -year authorization has been done and copies of these audits can be reviewed at the Public Safety administrative offices located at 667 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake, Texas. 1 In February 2002 Southlake voters approved a 15 -year extension of the Crime Prevention District. Continuation of the District will provide the funding necessary to fully accomplish the aforementioned strategies. State Law requires the District to fund an annual evaluation program to study the impact, efficiency, and effectiveness of new or expanded crime control and prevention programs. This report examines each identified strategy for the Southlake Crime Control and Prevention District. 2 Strategy One: Enhance Community Safety Through Modern, Efficient Facilities This strategy promotes a safer environment for the community through an increased police presence, particularly in neighborhoods to deter crime and to reduce the response time for calls for service. Although the geographical size of the city is large at 23 square miles, until recently Department of Public Safety personnel operated out of one facility. The district's initial plan identified the purchase of three sites and the development of two district facilities as its highest priority for the use of crime control funds. During the first five years of the district's existence, five major tasks were embarked upon. These five tasks are: 1) Site evaluation and budgeting 2) Site selection 3) Land acquisition 4) Concept planning 5) Facility construction Three sites were selected and items 1-4 above were accomplished on all three sites. A new facility was constructed on the west site and it was opened in April of 2002. During FY 2001 -02, space needs planning for the North facility began. A contract for architectural final construction plans and specifications will be entered into in December 2003. The cost of the architectural plans and construction manager agent fees for the north site is estimated to be $600,000. The plans and 3 specifications are expected to be finished in late summer of 2004. The construction project for the north facility will be advertised for bid in early fall of 2004 with a contract for the construction of the facility to be awarded at the beginning of FY 2004 -05. The construction cost of the north facility is projected to be $12,400,000 of bond proceeds, which will be paid by the sales tax levied by the Crime Control District. The opening of the north facility is expected in early 2006. 4 Strategy Two: Enhance Community Safety Through the Use of Modern Technology & Equipment The District Board allocated funding in the first year for the purchase of two fully equipped police patrol vehicles as well as portable radios and other related equipment needed by the School Resource Officers. In fiscal year 2002 -03 the district allocated $1,000,000 to move all emergency responders from the Fort Worth System to the Northeast Tarrant County Consortium System. This landmark move greatly improved radio communications for all emergency responders in the field. The continuation of district funding will allow the department to address the equipment needs as well as personnel support. The FY 2003 -04 budget does not include additional personnel. Funding for the purchase of additional equipment in the FY 2003 -04 budget include: $17,400 M -16 Patrol Rifles and Ammunition $10,000 Replacement of In -Car Police Video Cameras $ 3,050 Tasers and Replacement Equipment $ 1,600 Pepper ball Pistols and Ammunition $ 800 Creation of a DPS Explorer Program $ 5,000 Professional Services for Annual Evaluation $10,000 Segway Officer Transporters Homeland security is an on -going concern and, as evidenced in the operational portion of the FY 02 -03 budget, will continually be a consideration as future CIP and budget documents are prepared. 5 Strategy Three: Enhance Community Safety Through Professional Development Two land sites for DPS facilities were purchased with enough space to provide training facilities on site. Director of Public Safety, Rick Black recommended that there be one central training facility at the north site instead of three sites throughout the city. He recommended this based on the size of the city and the cost of building and staffing the training facilities. The property purchased for the purpose of training facilities will be sold and the funds will be returned to the district fund. The west site residual property was sold this year and the funds returned to the district. It was decided to hold the north site residual property until all planning was complete for the north site so as to ensure that all needs are adequately met before the property is released for sale. Training facilities will be constructed along with the construction of the north site facility and will be opened for training by the first quarter of 2006. 6 Strategy Four: Enhance Community Safety through special Police Initiatives The establishment of a crime control and prevention district in Southlake provides an opportunity to establish police initiatives that enhance the community's quality of life. The districts first special initiative involved hiring two additional School Resource Officers (SRO). Recruitment efforts began as soon as the board approved the budget. The two positions were successfully filled in December 1998, with one officer assigned to Carroll Junior High School and the other to Carroll Intermediate School. A reduction in juvenile crime has occurred since the SRO's were employed. In 2003, Director Rick Black announced plans to "exit" the SRO's from District monies. The purpose is two -fold: (1) Regular earnings should be temporary when paid by the district, and (2) the money saved in regular earnings will ensure the success of all debt paid off at the end of district 15 -year continuation. The City of Southlake enjoys other special policing programs that many other cities throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area and state do not have. These programs are motorcycle patrol, bicycle patrol, and a community volunteer program called the Southlake Mounted Patrol. The motorcycle patrol, the bicycle patrol, and the mounted patrol functions enable the Southlake Department of Public Safety to respond to many situations, including crowd control, traffic control, and search and rescue. The Southlake Mounted Patrol is supported by funds provided by the crime control district. The crime control district does not fund the motorcycle patrol or the bicycle patrol, however they are allowable expenditures. 7 Financial Collection of the Crime Control District sales tax began in April 1998, and the first allocation of sales tax from the Comptroller was received in June 1998. At the beginning of the fiscal year October 1, 2002 the district had a balance of $2,547,310. The Sales Tax revenue collected for the FY 2002 -03 is projected at $2,180,696. Interest income is projected to be $50,000. A grant in the amount of $45,000 was received making the total revenue for FY 2002 -03 to be $2,275,696. The total expenditures for the same period are estimated to be $501,049 for operations. Debt service for the FY 2002 -03 is $1,547,310. The ending balance for the FY 2002 -03 is estimated to be $2,795,587. It is estimated that there will be a reduction of the sales tax collected this year because of the relocation of Wal -Mart outside of the city. This reduction in sales tax has been accounted for in the revenue projections for the district and the current budget reflects this reduction. 8 Conclusion The Board of Directors of the Southlake Crime Control and Prevention District during the first five years of the district has successfully implemented the actions necessary to meet the strategies identified in its plan and budget. The district's primary activity has been the acquisition of suitable public safety sites in targeted areas, the construction of the west facility, and the development of plans and specifications for the north facility. The other initiatives are progressing as planned. During the first five years the Southlake Crime Control and Prevention District has successfully accomplished its goals including the successful election for the continuation of the district for 15 years. This will ensure that the other goals that have been developed will be realized. The City Council could consider adopting a development philosophy for the city that is consistent with increasing sales tax revenues to keep up with the increased costs of the CCPD. A possible "Shop Southlake" campaign could be developed to encourage city residents to shop in Southlake as well as educate the citizens about the benefits they receive from sales tax revenues, which does include keeping property taxes low. 9
