City Manager’s Report 4 June 2013 Departmental Update • Airport/Homeland Security Department

o The Department conducted a Hurricane Table Top Exercise with Department Directors in preparation of hurricane season.

o The Department will be meeting with Commissioner Martinez and the City Manager to discuss the rerouting of the AEP electrical line in order to complete the grid structure supporting the industrial park.

o The National Weather Service will be conducting a one day Hurricane Presentation at City Hall on May 29.

• City Secretary’s Office

o Under Texas law, a child born to a man and woman who are not married has no legal father. There is a difference between a biological father and a legal father. When the child's parents complete an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) to establish legal fatherhood, this helps to secure the legal rights of the child. The AOP uses a state-issued form to document mutual consent between mother and father; in some cases, an additional signature may be required when the presumed legal father is not the biological father.

o The City Secretary’s Office has facilitated 41 AOPs to date this fiscal year as a free service since about half the birth certificates filed in this region do not identify the father. In most cases, the AOP is conducted in an appointment shared by the mother and father; occasionally, when sensitivity warrants, appointments are held for mother and father separately. Always, the appointments and their documentation are treated confidentially. Four members of the CSO staff are certified to conduct the AOP.

o Until paternity is established, Courts cannot order a father to pay child support and the father cannot enforce his right to visitation or possession of the child. However, establishing paternity does not compromise the child’s eligibility to receive money through a government program, such as Social Security, veteran's benefits, health care, or other social service benefits.

o For more information, visit https://www.oag.state.tx.us/ag_publications/txts/paternity.shtml

• Finance Department o The Finance Department continues to work with the auditors at Garcia & Pena,

MEMORANDUM TO: Leo Olivarez, City of Weslaco FROM: Elvia C. Lopez RE: 83RD Legislative Session DATE: May 30, 2013 Major Issues - The Texas legislature adjourned Sine Die on Monday, May 27th, almost all of the session’s important issues were addressed. Here is a run-down of the major issues taken up by the 83rd Legislature:

Budget – SB 1, the appropriations bill, passed and is on its way to the governor. It appropriates $98.2 billion for fiscal year 2014 and $98.7 billion for fiscal year 2015 (a 3.7% increase over the current biennium). SJR 1 will go to the voters on November 5, 2013. It establishes the State Water Implementation Fund as a constitutionally dedicated fund for implementation of the state water plan.

HB 1025, the supplemental appropriations bill, also passed and is heading to the governor’s desk. It appropriates $5.4 billion including $2 billion for water (contingent on the passage of SJR 1), and an additional $200 million for public education. HB 7, the fiscal management bill, passed and is headed for the governor’s desk.

Economic Development – HB 3390, extending the Texas Economic

Development Act, which is scheduled to expire in 2014, to December 1, 2022.

Environment – HB 4, The bill would provide local entities with subsidized financing for projects eligible for TWDB funding. Based on a hypothetical SWIFT portfolio model provided through the House Committee on Natural Resources, it is estimated that approximately $750 million in new assistance would be provided each year beginning in fiscal 2015. According to TWDB, this would provide for approximately 30 projects to be financed annually, The bill would provide that the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) be composed of three full-time members rather than six part-time members and meet certain requirements. The bill creates the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) and the State Water Implementation Revenue Fund for Texas (SWIRFT), each as a special fund in the state treasury outside the General Revenue Fund to be used without further legislative appropriation by TWDB to





Tel: 512.731.5388 fax: 512.280.7207

finance projects in the state water plan. The bill includes various provisions related to the funds and to special accounts that could be established by TWDB. The funds could consist of money transferred or deposited by law; the proceeds of any fee or tax imposed by the state; other revenue dedicated by the Legislature; and investment and interest earned on the balance of the funds. The SWIFT may receive money transferred to the fund under a bond enhancement agreement (BEA). The SWIRFT may receive the proceeds from the sale of certain bonds, payments of loans made from the fund, money from the sale, transfer or lease of certain projects, and money disbursed to the fund from the SWIFT. The SWIFT would be held and managed by the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company (TTSTC) for, and in the name of, TWDB. The TTSTC may charge fees consistent with other fees it, has been sent to the governor.

SJR 1- Establishes a constitutionally-dedicated water infrastructure fund,

will go to voters on November 5th, 2013. With the Legislature's passage of SJR 1 in the final week of the 83rd regular session, voters will get an opportunity in November to approve a constitutionally dedicated revolving loan fund for water infrastructure projects. Lawmakers also passed a companion bill, HB 1025, that will jump-start the program with $2 billion from the state's rainy day fund.

Higher Education- SB 24, which establishes a new university in South

Texas within the University of Texas System has been sent to the governor Human Resources/Employment – SB 21, requiring drug screening as a

condition for the receipt of unemployment compensation benefits, passed and is on its way to the governor

Tax – HB 500, the omnibus franchise tax reform bill, passed in spite of a

threatened filibuster in the Senate and several points-of-order raised in the House. It provides for a $1 million deduction and a 2.5% franchise reduction for all businesses. If the comptroller certifies that funds are available, will provide a 5% across -the-board franchise tax reduction for all businesses in the second year of the biennium.

HB 800, the research and development tax incentive bill, has passed and

been sent to the governor. HB 3121/HJR 133, providing an increase in the goods-in-transit Freeport

exemption on a local option basis, passed. HB 3121 has been sent to the governor. HJR 133 will be submitted to the voters on November 5, 2013.

HB 1133, establishing a refund procedure for sales taxes paid on

telecommunications equipment, has been sent to the governor.





Tel: 512.731.5388 fax: 512.280.7207

Immediate Special Session – Just moments after the Senate and House adjourned the regular session, Governor Rick Perry announced a special session of the Texas Legislature to begin at 6:00 p.m. He called legislators into special session to consider the following issue: “Legislation which ratifies and adopts the interim redistricting plans ordered by the federal district court as the permanent plans for districts used to elect members of the Texas House of Representatives, Texas Senate and United States House of Representatives.” Every 10 years, the Texas Legislature goes through a legislative process to redraw district boundaries to consider growth and population changes in the state. The maps drawn in 2011 are still pending in the court system due to concerns with discriminatory practices being used in directing the new political districts.
