In the last lecture, we discussed about the response spectrum method of analysis for multi-support excitation. In that, we derived the response spectrum method of analysis for multi-support excitation system. The method is developed through random vibration analysis. However, the last portion of the derivation that is the results of the derivation led to a very interesting equation. Using that equation, one can obtain the response spectrum analysis of multi-support excitation. That is the response spectrum method of analysis can be performed for multi-support excitation using the displacement response spectrum of earthquake and a compatible power spectral density function of ground acceleration. This is achieved through an equation that relates the displacement response spectrum of earthquake and power spectral density function of ground acceleration. Apart from that, a coherence function is needed for accounting on the partial correlation of the excitation that takes place between the two supports. We also illustrated the method with the help of two example problems. Today's lecture will concentrate on the cascaded analysis, the use of response spectrum method of analysis for the nonclassically damped system. Cascaded analysis is very popular for seismic analysis of secondary system. In fact, the cascaded analysis was specifically designed for the earthquake analysis of secondary systems which are there in many structures. Especially for industrial structures, we have many secondary systems. Similarly, in nuclear power plant structures, we have many secondary systems or many of the structures in the nuclear power plant structures are idealized as secondary system. Then we have structures like buildings on the top of which we have a small tower. Then the tower is considered as a secondary system. So, there are many such examples of the secondary systems which are used in civil engineering structures. Now, for these secondary systems, if we wish to find out the earthquake response then one of the popular ways of doing it is by using response spectrum at the base of the applied at the base of the secondary systems. The motivation for developing the cascaded analysis are twofold. Number one, if we wish to consider the total structure that is the primary and secondary structure together then the number of degrees of freedom may be very large and therefore, the analysis may entail lot of computational time. Secondly, the cascaded analysis is performed because the cases where we have secondary systems along with the primary system then the damping matrix becomes non-classically damp. For example, if we have a piping system connected to the to a main structure or piping systems supported on the floor of a structure made of concrete then we have two kinds of damping arising. Similarly, we can have the structures in which there is a tower on the top of a building and in that case the damping of the tower and damping of the building would be different resulting in a non-classically damped situation. So, in order to avoid these non-classical damping, one way is to isolate the two systems that is the secondary system and the primary system and analyze them separately. The output of the primary system becomes the input for the secondary system. For example, if there is a piping system mounted on the floor of a particular building then the response spectrum for the floor become the input for the secondary system or the piping system at the base. In this kind of analysis where we separate the two systems and analyze them separately, we ignore the interaction effect between the secondary system and the primary system and in most of the cases it is found that if we ignore this interaction effect then we do not get much error in the analysis or the response of the secondary system. For this purpose the floor response spectrum becomes an important thing in the cascaded analysis. The figure 5.5 shows the secondary system mounted on the floor of a building. It is excited, the building is excited by a ground acceleration. The absolute acceleration at the floor is equal to the acceleration of the floor with respect to the base and it is ground acceleration is added to it. It will not be a, it will be g, x double dot g is the ground acceleration. So, x double dot a is the absolute acceleration of the floor, x double dot g is the ground acceleration. So, what is done is that first we remove the secondary system from the primary system, only retain the mass of the secondary system to the primary system, analyze it for the given ground acceleration and the results of the analysis provide the time history of the acceleration at the floor level. Then to this time history of acceleration we add the ground time history of acceleration to obtain the absolute time history or time history of the absolute acceleration. This time history of absolute acceleration then becomes input for the piping system which is mounted on the floor. We assume that the piping systems are attached to the floor in a way that one can assume ends or the supports of the piping system to be fixed. Thus for a fixed end support there is a acceleration at support or that acceleration is the absolute acceleration of the floor. So, by knowing the time history of the absolute acceleration of the floor one can find out the response spectrum of the floor for the given absolute value of the acceleration time history. So, first the floor response spectrum is obtained from that time history and once we get the absolute or the response spectrum for the absolute acceleration of the time history, then that response spectrum is inputted at the base of the piping system and we carry out the usual response spectrum method of analysis that we have discussed. In this case we can consider the basis to be a single support excitation case that is we can assume that there is no time lag between the or phase lag between different supports and all the supports are uniformly excited by the time history of the absolute acceleration. If two ends of the supports or some of the supports are say connected to a to another floor or the supports are connected at different floors then the supports are excited by different excitations. In that case one can use the response spectrum method of analysis for multi support excitation that we have discussed before. Therefore in the cascade analysis one can carry out a response spectrum method of analysis by decoupling the secondary system from the primary system finding out the floor response spectrums in case more than one number of floors are utilized for supporting the secondary system at each support of the secondary system if the excitations are different then also one can perform the response spectrum method of analysis. So this has become a very popular technique for finding out the earthquake response of secondary system in structures and specially for nuclear structures these secondary systems are considered in a different way in the sense that the secondary systems are not clubbed along with the primary system and the total system is analyzed for the earthquake excitation because in that case the number of degrees of freedom that is involved becomes too many. An example problem is solved here to illustrate the use of the response spectrum method of analysis for secondary system. This is a building frame and in this building frame we have a secondary system. The secondary system has a mass m by 4 and it has a length l by 4 the stiffness is k by 4 whereas the main building it has a stiffness of k and this is the mass of the 2 floor. Damping for the secondary system is 2 percent, damping for the primary system is 5 percent. This is an exercise problem given in chapter 3 that is the response analysis for the deterministic ground motion in that this problem is given as an exercise problem to solve. Now for this system for the specified ground acceleration here the specified ground acceleration is taken as the L-centro ground excitation. We perform a time history analysis. We can perform the time history analysis either in time domain or in the frequency domain and find out the time history of the absolute acceleration for the top floor level and for that first we find out the time history of the relative acceleration of the top floor that is the relative acceleration with respect to the base and to that we add the time history of the ground acceleration. So, that provides a time history of the absolute acceleration of the top floor. Then for that time history of absolute acceleration we obtain a corresponding response spectrum, response spectrum of acceleration, how to obtain the response spectrum of acceleration that we had discussed before that is we take a single degree freedom system. The base or the support of the single degree freedom system is subjected to the time history of the absolute acceleration that we have obtained. Then for different frequencies for the single degree freedom system that is by varying k and m we can have a different frequencies and corresponding to different time periods for that we can obtain the displacement response spectrum first. Then from displacement response spectrum we derive the pseudo velocity spectrum and from that we can derive the pseudo acceleration spectrum or the acceleration spectrum that we generally use. These response spectrums are obtained now for the damping that is the required damping and in this case this damping is 2% because the secondary system has a damping of 2%. So, once we have the response spectrum of acceleration for 2% damping then for this secondary system an excitation record acts at the base of the support whose response spectrum now is known and therefore the time period for the secondary system can be worked out with the help of the stiffness and the mass and once we know the frequency of the secondary system from that we can get the time period corresponding time period and for that time period one can obtain the acceleration spectrum ordinate and using that acceleration acceleration spectrum ordinate we can obtain the force that would be acting for this system. Since it is a single degree freedom system we need to only consider one mode or there will be only one force static force that will be acting on to the secondary system and we can find out the bending moment shear force and the top displacement of the secondary system. This problem is made easy by providing only one degree of freedom system. However, one can have a structure which is not a single degree freedom system like this. In fact, there could be a piping system in which there could be 2, 3, 4 supports and in that case at all the supports we can assume that the same time history of absolute acceleration would be acting for which the response spectrum we have obtained and then carry out the usual response spectrum method of analysis for the piping system. The result for this problem is shown here. The time period of the secondary system was obtained as 0.811 second. The displacement flow displacement response spectrum is given over here. We can multiply the flow displacement response spectrum with the omega square in order to get the pseudo acceleration response spectrum. Once we get the pseudo acceleration spectrum then corresponding to this time period 0.811 second one can obtain the value of the spectral acceleration and multiply that spectral acceleration with the mass that would give the force acting on the top of the cantilever resulting in a lateral displacement at the top and the corresponding base shear. The result that we obtained from the cascaded analysis was 0.8635 meter as the deflection of the top of the cantilever whereas a proper time history analysis for the entire structure considering the secondary system or the secondary system was included into the entire structure so that it becomes a composite primary secondary system. We call it as PS system. For that we constructed a C matrix. For the primary system the C matrix is constructed using the assumption of Rayleigh damping that is a proportional damping with 5 percent critical damping for the main structure. The C matrix can be obtained as C is equal to alpha times m plus beta times k that is how one can obtain the C matrix for the main structure and then add on to that the damping for the secondary system coupling between the terms of the damping matrix between the primary and secondary system is set to 0. So, with that C matrix and considering the total k matrix of the system that is in opening the k matrix of the system we include the degree of freedom at the top of the cantilever. So, with that k matrix and with that C matrix and the corresponding m matrix one can perform a time history analysis for the entire system subjected to the ground acceleration at the base the result of that provided a maximum displacement of the cantilever as 0.9163. So, we can see that the actual time history analysis for the PS system and the cascaded analysis provided nearly the same response and in this the response analysis becomes easier in the sense that we are solving two problems each problem is solved using response vector method of analysis, but the degrees of freedom for each problem becomes less compared to the complete PS system. Next we consider the application of the response vector method of analysis for non-classically damped system. The non-classically damped systems are once in which we have a system like this in which there is a main system and in that main system say we have a tower. Then this tower may be made of steel this building is made of concrete both of them have different damping. So, the construction of the C matrix for the composite system that is to be obtained first. So, in this in this case the C matrix is obtained by first obtaining the damping matrix for the primary structure separately obtaining the damping matrix for the secondary system. So, here say the main structure has 3 degree of freedom. So, we obtain the damping matrix corresponding to these 3 degrees of freedom by assuming it to be a mass and stiffness proportional. So, we first find out the frequencies of the primary system and in that we completely decouple this secondary system. So, from that we get the damping matrix after obtaining the values of alpha and beta. So, once we get this matrix damping matrix for the primary system we put it over here it will be 3 by 3 matrix. Similarly, one can obtain the damping matrix for the secondary system say it is also having a 3 degree of freedom. So, using a modal damping ratio of 2 percent we construct the CS matrix in the same fashion as we have done for the primary system and this CS is the damping matrix for the secondary system. The coupling between the primary system and the secondary system that we set to 0 because that is not explicitly known. So, that is how one can construct a C matrix and this C matrix is non-classically damped because we have got 2 types of damping in the system. Once we get the damping matrix for the entire system then one can consider the entire system together that is the system would be a 6 system of 6 degree of freedom. We write down the stiffness matrix corresponding to these 6 degrees of freedom that becomes the K matrix. The mass matrix becomes a diagonal mass matrix having 6 masses. So, with the help of this mass matrix and the stiffness matrix we obtain the undamped mode shapes and frequencies with the help of K and M. And once we get these undamped frequencies and mode shapes then one can use the decoupling try to decouple the equation of motion by writing phi T C phi, phi T K phi and phi T M phi of course will be diagonal. Phi T C phi will not become a diagonal matrix. Note that here the phi matrix will be a 6 by 6 size. This is also a 6 by 6 matrix and since it is non-classically damped therefore phi T C phi would not be a diagonal matrix there will be off diagonal terms. By ignoring the off diagonal terms that is by diagonalizing the phi T C phi matrix one can decouple the entire equation of motion and from the diagonal terms of the damping matrix one can obtain the modal damping ratios in each mode of vibration. Once we get that then one can use the usual response spectrum method of analysis because we know the modal damping for each mode of vibration. Therefore one can obtain the necessary spectral ordinates for acceleration for a given damping and given time period. Once we get the equivalence set of lateral forces in each mode of vibration then you can apply them and carry out the usual static analysis performed in the case of response spectrum method of analysis. Another problem of this type quite often is encountered in structural engineering that is the problem of soil structure interaction where the effect of the soil is replaced by springs and dashpots. For example here it is a frame which has got 3 non support degrees of freedom. At the supports the springs indicate the soil stiffness and they indicate the soil damping. Generally the vertical spring stiffnesses are made very high so that effectively one can assume that this base cannot go down or it is the base degree of freedom in the vertical direction is locked. We only permit the lateral movement of the bases. Also the rotational springs can be introduced in order to take care of the rotation that can takes place because of the flexibility of the foundation. So in that case the K matrix for the structure would be these 3 translations plus these 3 translations the base plus these 3 rotations. So that becomes the K matrix and one can obtain this K matrix by usual condensation procedure. The mass matrix also will be 9 by 9. The rotational masses we can give some rotational masses to the system or also we can set them to 0 if you wish to ignore it. Then the damping matrix for the entire system consists of 2 parts. One is the structures damping matrix which will be 3 by 3 and which can be obtained from the damping specified damping ratio for this structure. Say it is if it is concrete then it will be 5% damping. For that 5% damping one can obtain the damping matrix for the superstructure. The other part of the damping matrix is the C soil and this C soil matrix can be obtained from the damping coefficient provided for the soil system. Generally this soil damping matrix is a diagonal matrix. The coupling between the structure and the soil damping matrices this is again set to 0. Or once we have these damping matrix then as before we can multiply this damping matrix or we multiply this damping matrix with phi t and force multiplied by phi that is phi t C phi is obtained and phi t C phi is not generally a diagonal matrix. So we ignore the off diagonal terms and from the diagonal terms we obtain the modal damping in each mode of vibration and then carry out the usual response spectrum method of analysis. Note that while performing the response spectrum method of analysis we retain these springs at the basis that is this lateral springs and the rotational springs they are retained and then perform the static analysis corresponding to each mode of vibration which is equivalent static lateral load. Next we come to seismic coefficient method. So far we were discussing about the response spectrum method of analysis for the non-classically damped system, for classically damped system, for multi support excitation, for single support excitation and also how we perform the response spectrum method of analysis for cascaded system. Now we discuss another very popular method for obtaining the design forces in structures for the earthquake and this is obtained using what is known as the seismic coefficient method. Seismic coefficient method also prescribes a set of equivalent static lateral load and that equivalent static lateral load is applied on to the structure then the structure is analyzed statically to find out the its responses and those responses are assumed to be equal to the maximum forces that the structure would have experienced if the same earthquake for which the response spectrum is constructed was applied to the structure. Note that the response spectrum of acceleration can also be used here in order to obtain the seismic coefficient that we will discuss little later. However, not necessarily that the seismic coefficient is extracted from the response spectrum or acceleration response spectrum of earthquake, but sometimes the seismic coefficient is somewhat different than the coefficient that we obtain from the response spectrum. So, in those cases both the response spectrum and the seismic coefficient and values for different time periods that are prescribed. In most of the course of practice both response spectrum method of analysis and the seismic coefficient method of analysis are prescribed for earthquake analysis and design of structures. In fact, seismic coefficient method of analysis is more popular compared to the response spectrum method of analysis because it is purely a static analysis. We do not have to even obtain the time period or the frequency of the structure and the mode shapes of the structure in the case of seismic coefficient method. The time period of the structure is obtained with the help of some empirical formula and the mode shape or the distribution of the load along the height of the structure that is obtained with the help of again some empirical recommendation. Therefore, we do not require the mode shape for the structure. The method concepts of the following step using total weight of the structure the base shear is obtained by the simple formula given in equation 5.34 that is VB is equal to weight of the structure multiplied by CH that is called the seismic coefficient which is generally described and the seismic coefficient is time period dependent. Then we obtain the base shear using this equation sorry first we obtain the base shear using this equation that is 5.34 then once we get the base shear then this base shear is distributed as a set of lateral forces along the height of the structure and for obtaining these load at different flow levels or along the height of the building. This formula 5.35 is used there we multiplied VB by a function of height of the floor and this function of height of the floor that is FHI bears a resemblance with that for the fundamental mode of the structure they are not the same but it has a resemblance. Thus we can see that here the loads at different flow levels FI that we obtain from the total base shear the loads at different floors that we obtain from this formula if they are added together then they would finally will be equal to VB that is the base shear. After we have obtained these force FI for different floors then this force is applied to the structure statically in order to obtain the values of the internal forces in different members of the structure and those forces may be combined along with other forces that is the forces due to the dead load or live load then we obtain the design forces for individual members of the structure. Most of the time both seismic coefficient method and in the response vector method of analysis the load that is obtained in each mode of vibration in the case of response vector method of analysis the load FI that we obtain in the seismic coefficient method of analysis is divided by a factor R which is called a reduction factor. This reduction factor reduce the total load which is coming on to the structure due to earthquake it is intentionally done and so that under the actual earthquake the structure undergoes an elastic excursion and this in elastic excursion is a very important thing for all earthquake analysis of structures because we wish to design the structure for certain ductility. This effect of ductility and the reduction factor will be discussed later on when we will be discussing about the non-linear analysis of structures due to earthquake. And course provide different recommendations for the values or expressions of CH and the function of HI. The distributional lateral force which is given in most of the code cannot be fully justified from the theoretical point of view but some kind of justification can be put forward for this distribution. If we look at the first mode lateral load in the case of response vector method of analysis then it will be like this the mode participation factor for the first mode this is rho 1. W j is the weight of the jth floor corresponding to that there is a mode shape coefficient in the first mode and that is case multiplied by SA 1 by G that is the spectral acceleration for the first mode that is normalized with respect to G. So, that it finally becomes mass times acceleration W by G becomes the mass and mass time acceleration becomes the force. So, this is a typical lateral force that we obtain in each mode of vibration in the response vector method of analysis. Now, if we concentrate only on the first mode of vibration then these spectral acceleration the mode shape and the mode participation factor all of them correspond to the first mode only and with the help of this formula one can find out a force at different floor levels j. Now, we can obtain the ratio of the force acting at any particular floor level and the total force the total force means the base shear. So, this ratio can be expressed like this that is W j multiplied by phi j 1 and this is a summation of W j and phi j 1 over all the floors giving the value of base shear. So, the floor load that is for the jth floor the lateral load can be expressed as the base shear that is this is nothing but is equal to base shear may be multiplied by W j into phi j 1 divided by some summation of W j and phi j 1. In the next step we see that this particular formula is converted into W j into h j and at the bottom we in place of W j into phi j 1 we write W j into h j. This means that we are assuming a linear variation of the deflection of the structure at the first mode or a triangular variation with a value of unity at the top of the floor. So, if you if we assume that at the top of the floor the unit value is there for a first mode then at other floors the value of the mode trip coefficient will be h j divided by the total height of the building. And since the total height of building is there both in the numerator and the denominator that cancels out and as a result of that we get this particular formula. Now up to this one can justify in that the assumption which is made is that the first mode shape of the building is a linear mode shape or a triangular variation. Now in the codes we get the distribution of the load at different floor levels is obtained with the help of this kind formula that is base shear is multiplied by W j into h j to the power k and here also it is h j to the power k. k is a coefficient and this coefficient if it is 1 then it is a linear variation and if it is other than 1 then the variation become non-linear that is the in that case the first mode shape is assumed to be a non-linear variation. So, in the case of k is equal to 2 it becomes a quadratic variation similarly for k is equal to 3 or k is equal to 0.5 we get different kinds of non-linear variation of the first mode shapes. In the codes of practice the values of k that is adopted that is also prescribed. So to some extent one can justify the distribution of the lateral forces in the seismic coefficient method of analysis. Next the formula that we use for calculating the base shear that also could be justified to some extent from the theoretical point of view. If we look at the expression for the base shear in any particular mode then this is the sum of the lateral forces that is obtained at different floor levels in the ith mode and in turn that can be written in this particular fashion which we just have discussed. Here the lambda i is the ith mode participation factor SAI denotes the spectral acceleration corresponding to the ith mode. Now this can be written as V B i now can be written as W i e into SAI by G. W i e is called the effective weight or effective modal weight for the structure and this is nothing but sum of the W j phi j i multiplied by lambda i. So, this is not summation this is W j multiplied by phi j i multiplied by lambda i that gives W i e that is the effective modal weight in the ith mode. Now if we carry out the absent technique then the base shear that we obtained in the ith mode the absolute value of this that is simply added for all the modes and that gives an upper bound to the base shear actual base shear because we have discussed before that absent method provides a conservative estimate estimate of the response quantities. So, thus the if V V is the actual base shear then that actual base shear will be less than this value that is absent value of or absent combination of the base shears. So, this V V i now is replaced by this expression and as a result of that we can write down SAI by G into W i e if we assume that the spectral acceleration remains same in all modes and is equal to that of the first mode then we can replace SAI by G by SA1 by G and that will remain constant for all modes and then this can be taken out and then the summation is only for W i e and sum of the W i e that is effective weight at any particular mode or summed up over all the modes will result in the total weight of the building. So, the base shear now can be written as V V is equal to SA1 by G multiplied by W and the seismic coefficient method prescribes the value of V V to be equal to W multiplied by a seismic coefficient. Now, if the seismic coefficient happens to be equal to SA1 by G then we see that the V V the base shear that is used in the case of seismic coefficient method is nothing but the base shear that we obtain for the structure by considering only the first mode. So, that is how one can justify the calculation of the base shear for seismic coefficient method and in many course of practice the seismic coefficient C H and spectral acceleration they are the same. As a result of that the base shear calculation that is obtained in the seismic coefficient method that is equivalent to the first mode base shear in the case of response spectrum method of analysis. At this stage we can summarize some of the important issues related to the equivalent lateral load analysis of structures for earthquake before we go to the next section of our discussion that is the seismic code provisions. First thing that we discussed is about the response spectrum method of analysis. We said that it is a unique concept which is there in earthquake engineering. Response spectrum method of analysis was developed specifically for designing the structures for earthquake. This is a partly dynamic and partly static because the first part of the analysis requires the evaluation of the mode shapes and frequencies which are the dynamic analysis of the structure and once we have the mode shapes and frequencies then rest of the part is a static part. Equivalent static load that is obtained in each mode of vibration is exact for single point excitation system and it can be obtained from the fundamental equations of the multi degree freedom system. However, when you combine when you combine the static load effects in each mode of vibration to find out the total response there the load combination is approximate and there are three combination rules. These three combination rules are the ABSUM, SRSS, CQC. The ABSUM rule provides a conservative estimate of the responses and the SRSS rule provides a better result in case of the well separated frequencies of the structure. When we have closely spaced frequencies then we obtain in place of SRSS CQC rule in which the modal correlation effect is taken into consideration. After that we discussed about the response spectrum method of analysis extended for multi support excitation. It was first derived by Curigian through random vibration approach but the end result was very interesting. It requires additionally a coherence function and the relationship between response spectrum of displacement with power spectral density function. Then we discussed how response spectrum method of analysis can be utilized for the secondary system and response spectrum method of analysis can be utilized for non classical dam system. After that we discussed the basis of the seismic coefficient method of analysis as it is quite popular with the earthquake engineering community and it has been observed that the seismic coefficient method of analysis is essentially based on the first mode response. However, the mode shapes of the first mode is approximated by different formulas and the time period of the first mode is calculated by some empirical formula.


Great athletes are great athletes no matter how they treat their body now They might age quicker than they would but when they're in their wheelhouse doesn't matter how they take care of themselves They're they're they're a hand-eye coordination the quick twitches from the brain. That's what makes them great David Wells was Babe Ruth, and he pitched a perfect game He wasn't Ruth he he might have lived harder than Ruth. Oh, he was more mantle than Ruth. No, no Well, the story about mantle the stories here about mantle. How do you do he would not be a Hall of Famer? He would not be a Hall of Famer So you think in this day and age you can go out and party and have the life that Mickey Mantle had and succeed in the 21st century How do you know what people do off the field It just doesn't seem it does first of all they didn't work out 24-7 the way they do today Mantle what you think was mantel swinging a bat in November was he working out? Was he was he was he getting checked out by a doctor constantly? Those guys were selling insurance Mickey Mantle was I love you. You're wrong on this you know, but it's competition was 3.1 to first base from the left-handed batters box. That's so he was God-given gift And he was he was strong. He was strong anybody of his day But there's no way in this day and age going up against the competition that you're going up against You can go out and party till six o'clock in the morning get two hours sleep and go out there and hit three home runs Today, how do you know what these guys do? What are they don't Michael? No, you're around the Michael that just doesn't work out now do they party on occasion? I'm sure they do But I'm the work ethic is just a lot different You can't get away with what used to be able to get away with back in the day There's more pitches now the guys are working out more there They're more conscious of their abilities and their health more than they were back in the day This take is strong from from what I could tell okay The difference between today's athlete and the older athlete is now today's athlete orders in If that makes sense That's a big difference that's a big difference But they order in they're not gonna be out until three in the morning trying to find something It's the same with football. It's the same with football You went you would go to training camp or in baseball you'd go to spring training at ground zero All right You hadn't done anything for three four months and then you would spend spring training to get back into condition for opening day These guys are working out all off season They're conscious of what they're putting in their bodies more than they ever were before Unfortunately, some of them may be a little too conscious of what they're putting in their bodies Obviously the ones that break the rules it's just Insulting those guys those guys did But it's completely different now


Hey guys it's Nate A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're talking FIFA 20 but not for too much longer because today I just want to talk about what I'm feeling and how I feel like the game is headed right now because it feels like FIFA 20 is seriously on the out and out and FIFA 21 is on the in. Of course everything EA is promoting right now is just FIFA 21, FIFA 21, FIFA 21 and it makes sense right because that is the next game that is upcoming they want to get people high before that next upcoming game but it still kind of sucks because we still are here with a FIFA 20 and they're still attempting to put out content and I think I'm going to talk about this a little bit in the video but I almost think that if they were going to actually transition from FIFA 20 to FIFA 21 they just need to cut it off cold turkey and really just seriously just cut it like FIFA 20 just done right maybe you throw a few cards and packs but then don't put any else of content out we're still in a promotion right now called the pre-season promo in FIFA 20 and there's really not been much of anything and again I think that's why a lot of people are just done with FIFA right now they're playing Fall Guys they're playing F1 they're playing COD Warzone I mean maybe some people are playing pro clubs some people playing career mode it's just a lot of people have been now instead of being in FIFA all of the team they've all just been kind of dispersed and I really feel like we're at that time of the year where the FIFA 20 game is just on that out and out you didn't really need me to tell you that but I want to look through a few more things related to that today and also talk about there was a some code added and even even things that EA is doing or they're not doing with the market the fact that team of the season cards right now because of the 86 double plus SBC they came out today all team of the season cards are like 75 or 80,000 coins like 80,000 coins or team of the season cards just to complete that one SBC and this is all just down to EA not caring about their game anymore and we see that in multiple multiple ways and again that's kind of what I'm talking about today just why this game is basically it's basically done for right FIFA 20 is basically over now first things first I want to talk about some stuff that was put in the pack code tonight because this does affect FIFA 20 I'm still going to make a few FIFA 20 videos but honestly boys it's going to start winding down I'm going to have to start trying some new things on the channel I mean obviously you guys are even watching this video and have watched the videos for the past couple days after summer heat has ended and this preseason promo with like zero hype has begun I appreciate you dudes because there's still some people that are you know playing FIFA and I'm still going to play some FIFA but if the content is just not there there's not a lot to do then I'm not going to push it I'm not going to you know put a lot of effort into something that is basically over and done with so that's just kind of where I'm coming from I appreciate all of you guys that some there's a bunch of you guys that will just watch whatever I put up because you enjoy the channel and you enjoy having fun with me and I appreciate that so we'll see what happens in the next probably about month or so before FIFA 21 stuff really starts to ramp up we'll probably get more news over the next month but it might slow down a little bit just kind of talking about that and just kind of being honest with you guys right because it is that time of the year you might see a couple different videos as well maybe some career mode maybe some pro clubs you never really know what you're going to see because there's just not a lot to post right now with how the game is the way that it is anyways this was added to the code last night and this was very very needed because you need a team of the week card or a team of the week moments or a team of the season for so many of these sbcs that ea is putting out like the 80 the 89 plus the 86 plus all of those sbcs you need a team of the week or a team of the season card from right now I believe team of the season cards are also extinct at like 70,000 or 80,000 coins or excuse me team of the week cards yeah team of recent team of the season are all like 70 or 80,000 coins which is ridiculous that these informs are this high in price and this this is the part that kind of gets me about it right like yes ea pays so close of an attention to the market for almost the entirety of the year they pay attention to the market they say hey you know we're not going to update these price ranges because we want to do this or you know there's so many strategic things that ea does with the market releasing sbcs at a certain time putting stuff into code then not putting out that sbc or you know just so many manipulative things that they do the dynamic pack weight I mean that changes the market all the time yes that is a thing in FIFA dynamic pack weight is definitely a thing it changes from time to time but uh this is kind of another one of those things that they really were not attentive to right we have informs that are 65 70,000 coins 80,000 coins at their very cheapest right now because of people wanting to complete these 89 plus and the 86 player pick sbcs and also uh I think like the icon sbc the icon prime or moments sbc might require some of these cards as well so that's why you're seeing such an yeah you need tots and moments players for one of the icon sbcs and people are just full sending their coins right now into these sbcs because there's really nothing else to do um so that's why you're seeing them go so high in price and ea is finally realizing hey we're going to have to supply some of these cards onto the market so that is what this sbc is right here this needs to be repeatable all right this needs to be repeatable and it needs to be an 82 rated squad with nothing else required and like 30 40 or 50 chemistry that's it all right I don't care these are team of the week moments or team of the week cards right these are two different packs right here any player from team of the week or team week moments from 1 to 43 and then in any team of the week or team of the week moments player um technically that's probably about the same thing I don't this is actually this is only one thing this is the description and this is what it actually is so it's basically a a team of the week sbc for moments and regular cards they need to add this in it needs to be repeatable a sap because they're gonna keep putting out 89 plus sbcs or the 86 double pluses with these team of the year and team of the season cards and packs they have to you know help with the supply on some of those cards this is what I tweeted out today when I saw this pack I said control c control v because we've had the same content in this game for the past two weeks the past two weeks of this preseason promo has been nothing but wrote to the final cards that have been put out which is kind of cool right and then uh these upgrade packs which cost a fortune because right now if you go look at sbc fighter 83s are six seven thousand coins 84s are 12 to 15k 85s are 20 to 25k 86s are 35 thousand coins for some of these cards it's unbelievable it is unbelievable and just the the lack of care that EA has about FIFA 20 right now and I guess it makes sense again because they're trying to push their game but this is like really just control c copy pasta copy paste content every single week we haven't had any top transfer content during this promotion of preseason we haven't had any Champions League showdowns I beg that we get one this week I beg because we have Champions League I'm pretty sure Champions League is today I'm pretty sure we have yeah we have Champions League today PSG and Atalanta can we get an SBC EA sports all right maybe you are waiting for the corner final matchups well they're here all right we have a game today tomorrow Friday and Saturday please put out a Champions League showdown SBC because it feels like you're forgetting about this game and you're forgetting about the game that you promised us content on honestly I mean you put out a promo page and talk about um the FIFA 20 preseason promo and you put out content but uh you're not delivering on the content that you originally put out and as you can tell right now this is their motivation right if you go to their Twitter page they're tweeting out multiple times per day trying to get you hyped about meaningful moments I mean they're releasing one of these these big promo tweets talking about co-op talking about foot events talking about the pre-order you know get your pre-order in because you know it's only a couple days left to do that they're really trying to just push and push the FIFA 21 stuff right now and if you go under these tweets I guarantee you all that you see is just people going out of EA play together exactly all all this stuff uh just people going at EA because just people are not having it right now right people are not having it because they're not happy with this promo and especially after what they released today about pro clubs this was the other thing I want to talk about in today's video pro clubs they updated pro clubs this literally will take you two minutes to read the new things that are coming to pro clubs out of all the stuff they could have added so many cool things they could have added to pro clubs the foot stadium stuff they could have added they could have added stuff um with achievements you know so many more like just objectives and stuff they could have put into pro clubs like the opportunities are endless for this mode they added an AI player customization which is something that we've wanted right so now the AI players that you will play with you'll be able to somehow manage them and I think upgrade them as you uh go higher in divisions if that's what I'm reading correctly um and basically it's just really small editing things you can do you can edit their last names their first names kit number preferred foot face uh and just it's it's all cosmetic right it is all cosmetic the stuff that you can update on uh your your AI players I think they just upgrade with you automatically so this is really just a um this is honestly just a cosmetic fix for the AI players which I guess is kind of cool to an extent but it's it's such an L compared to what could have been then you can also update some tactics which is nice um and then uh yeah you can set like the tactics that we have in foot you'll have some of those tactics in pro clubs uh so that is a gg that is something that should have been added a long time ago as well uh and was just added but literally that was it that was it for fever 21 pro clubs pro clubs is going to be the exact same this year except for you can add some tactics and you can make all of your AI characters have the freaking aphros and stuff that everybody puts on their players anyway that is all that they added four pro clubs massive massive l and this again is just you know we were thinking that we were going to get some sort of like reveal so far we've had the gameplay reveal we've had the foot reveal and now we've had the pro clubs reveal right based on the other reveals that we had it seemed like they were gonna put out like you know a nice little video like they did uh on their youtube channel for foot and for the gameplay that they probably were gonna do that for pro clubs and for volta and for career mode but with this release of the content of the pro clubs and the updates they're doing for next year it just massively seems like a huge huge huge l and it sucks because it it it appears like they do not care about that that game mode at all but again it doesn't make them money so why should they care because again this is a business and sometimes it sucks to understand that but it is what it is and you kind of have to think of it that way because this is a business in the end for ea sports and uh they have to put the money where they make money right you want to invest in the part of the of your game or or of your um of your content or of your the uh whatever you produce i think it's going to give you the biggest returns that's what you want to invest in that's what you're doing with ultimate teams so that's why we're seeing just a lack of content of fiva 20 now yes we did it the 86 plus pack today i packed alex teyes which is nice because i had a tradable one that i was able to sell because i bought a tradable alex telez during uh community or during leaghanos tots had it in my club for the end game so that was nice got some coins back on that one but it's again just super duper expensive those sbcs because of what they're the lack that they just they're lacking they're taking they have no cares for fiva 20 uh right now at the moment i would not be surprised if we didn't see a lot of content over the next couple days so just kind of sit tight and buckle down honestly this week's content has been a copy paced of last week hopefully something changes for today um but at the end of this week the 81 plus double the 82 to 88 the icon upgrade and i think there's a couple other sbcs maybe a lot of these player sbcs are expiring syrabia joe brian they're going away in a couple hours um but at the end of this week all the upgrade packs are going to go away there's a possibility maybe that EA releases like the 84 to what is it the 84 double plus and the 85 to 92 maybe they might release a new version of the icon upgrade um but i'm kind of interested to see what happens with that team of the week moments pack from today is that really going to affect the market the only thing you have to be worried about for that team of the moments pack is i would just go out and sell um i would go out and sell your informs if you have not already is it going to push up like the index 82 82s are like already 2 000 coins right now um i don't think that's going to really do too much for the market i think 82s are already uh really inflated so it probably an 81 or an 82 rated squad for that repeatable team week moments if for some reason they make it 83 rated that's bogus that's going to be uh that's going to upset a lot of people on twitter if they do that so just kind of watch out for that today sell your informs if you haven't already even sell your team of the season cards uh because they've only been requiring tots cards um team the week tots team the week or team week moments for these sbc's and i don't see them just requiring team of the weeks so i would probably sell your tots cards as well because some of these these tots that are right now selling for like 70 80 000 coins are going to go down in price because the informs are going to go down in price and that's what you need to put into the sbc's so sell some of these if you still have them somehow in your club uh tradable uh i would just kind of cash out on those and be careful if you're trying to snipe some of these cards right like all these are going for 70 000 coins right now i know a lot of people that have been trying to snipe these but you can get very you can get burned very easily because some of these guys are getting listed up for like what 70 k where you see somebody get listed up for 50 000 coins like oh it's a 20 k undercut i'll be able to sell them at 70 000 coins right false because actually what you'll see is a lot of these cards don't have price range updates so people will list the tots card or an informed card it'll come up at 30 k when they're going for 70 k and you'll try to snipe it and you're like yo man let me sell this for 70 000 coins when you actually can't because that card has a max price range of whatever it is that is you know way lower than the selling price of what that card would actually sell for on the market if there was not a price cap so again just be kind of careful with that since there is wrote to the final action and stuff happening today of course psg is playing so our boy marquinhos i think is the only psg on the market the only road to the final item that is on the market that will be affected today this is the one that continues to baffle me because his road to the final item continues to rise man road to the final marquinhos who is 92 rated this this just still baffles me bro this is a 153 000 coin road to the final item right now on the market take a look at his tots card take a look at his team of the season card who is in packs right now 94 rated so plus two rating and it's 123 k 30 000 coins less if you have this marquinhos card the 94 or the 90 excuse me the 92 wrote to the final marquinhos please cash it out please sell that card because even if psg win today and this guy goes up to a 93 do you really think he's going to stay higher in price than the team of this season that is 94 rated as better stats i really don't think so so i would take the cash from this just kind of like what happened with the gretzgra with usman dembele and with coman take the cash before the game starts and then regardless of whether they they uh they win or lose you'll be making some profit on that card right there but again boys that's kind of what i just wanted to talk about that today just like the whole fever 21 stuff is on my mind because this game is really really slowing down really really dragging um but i'm still going to be putting out content here on the youtube channel it might be a little bit different um of course if you have not doubt or if you've not preordered uh the game of ultimate the ultimate edition of fifa you have a couple more days to do that that's something that you're kind of interested in i guess but that's going to be all for the video today boys all right enjoy the last bits of fifa 20 if there's players that you still want to buy just buy them all right please just buy them put them in your squad if you're still being weak and leave ggs to you i am not if you're still doing objectives if you're still playing foot draft squad battles if you're still motivated to be on foot ggs don't let anybody else stop you all right don't let anybody else stop you and because the game is dying or whatever just enjoy playing video games all right this is the time of the year where you just enjoy playing video games don't feel like you have to play fifa all right if you're a person who grinds foot all year like myself fall guys you know 2k pga is coming out right 2k pga so that's going to be fun um and just stick tight boys all right we're still a couple months away there's still champions are gone you get your football fixed there and uh yeah just sit tight don't get too critical of fifa 21 stuff just yet we'll probably have fifa 21 like beta stuff coming out in like the end of the month so two weeks from now we'll have more information on that hopefully uh as they'll release more information about fifa 21 just follow their twitter channel on on twitter the esports fifa twitter follow me as well right that link is down below in the description if you guys enjoy this video today smash the thumbs up on it comment below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you're new it's been Nate the foot accountant catch you guys later peace out


All right, good evening We are going to go ahead and get started here. And so if everybody can grab a seat get a Take a few minutes to get settled. It's good to see everybody. I appreciate you coming out spending some time with us this evening to go over the budget overview and to get some information about the upcoming fiscal year budget and the process that we're undertaking to get that adopted so that we can have a new budget starting on the fiscal year start of October the 1st My name is Mark McAvoy. I'm the director of planning and data analytics which is the department that houses the office of folks that develop and manage the budget process and So I'm gonna walk you through this overview this evening And I anticipate having plenty of time to interact and answer questions And so as we go through if you think of a question Feel free to let us know, but we will have plenty of time at the end for questions and answers so We'll go ahead and get started. We are slated for an hour and We have I think enough material to get us through that time, but it may not take that amount of time So we'll just see how it goes I want to recognize a few city staff members that are here just so you kind of get oriented and I see that one of our assistant city managers Dana Bergdorf has joined us Dana's right here. We have our chief financial officer Reggie Zeno here We've got our director of communications Michelle Goote and then several members of the budget staff starting With Jennifer Snyder who helped coordinate all of this and so I'm really appreciative of Jen's efforts Back here. We have Pam Kakmarin ski is one of our budget managers and Then next to Michelle we have Lorraine Coleman another budget manager So this is primarily the team that's working to help get this budget delivered so that it can be adopted and ready to go on October the first So really what our goals are for this evening are to share information with you to talk about what goes into making the budget What goes into Getting a budget developed and ready to be adoptable by city council and this year It is scheduled to go before council on September 21st to be adopted There's a lot of stuff that's going to happen between now and September 21st, but that's right now the scheduled adoption date We're going to discuss some budget Philosophies how we get to where we are what kind of things we look at and consider as we develop the budget Ultimately when it's adopted what went into that We're going to again discuss the budget process and talk about how all of this is put together And and how we get from the beginning of the year to here and then Discussing some context for the upcoming fiscal year budget. We are presently in fiscal year 2021 which will end on September 30th and then on October the first fiscal year 2022 will begin and that is the budget that we are currently developing the fiscal 2022 budget So one of the things that I want to point out and start out with a little context the city is a very large Enterprise think of it like many other large enterprises We have various different kinds of business lines that make up the entire Organization and some of those are in what we call enterprise funds They're they're self-contained business enterprises and as you can see there on the screen some of those are our regional water and sewer utility. We have Golf operations. We have a stormwater utility We have parking facilities and a bunch of other things that are both on this list and not on this list that make up a Whole swath of business enterprises that are doing business. They're they're collecting revenue and providing services In a self-contained way. They are not competing for general fund Revenues and so that's what makes these a little bit different than our general governmental funds, right? The the lines of business that are in our general fund are most Commonly referred to by their department titles, which you can see here. There's a lot of them You know we have park and rec. We have libraries. We have all of these other Development services departments neighborhood services. We have an administrative administrative Function that supports all of that and the other enterprises that we just talked about and so all of those things are made up of Employees and and service providers that are in the general fund so we've got a group of enterprise funds and we have essentially the general fund lines of business and And there are other funds in the city as well But but generally speaking what we're gonna be talking about tonight is the general fund that lists of lines of businesses that we just went over here For all funds the fiscal year 2021 budget that we are presently in that will end on September 30th of this year Altogether is about 1.7 billion dollars. So a very large enterprise 1.7 billion That is both on the revenue and the expenditure side. We tend to balance those out So we've got 1.7 billion coming in as revenue and we've got 1.7 billion going out as expenditure When we look at how that breaks down in fiscal 21 all of these charts are going to show you fiscal 21 Because we're still developing the fiscal 22 budget in fiscal 21 as that 1.7 billion breaks down You'll see that the the vast majority or the majority of it is in the general and the enterprise funds that we just talked About about 75% of it is in those two areas and then we've got some other things that help support those businesses We've got some special revenue funds CCPD is one of those special revenue funds the crime control and prevention district and there are some others in there We've got the internal service funds. Those are things that tend to serve The the business of providing services and are contained within and have some special purposes Those are another 9% and then our debt service funds are The remaining 7% and what the debt service funds do are they pay all of the debt service on the outstanding debt that goes into Building infrastructure and maintaining infrastructure. So that's kind of how that all funds fiscal 21 budget of 1.7 billion breaks down as we look at just the general fund portion of that that 41% that 718 million piece of the pie there for fiscal 21. Like we said, it's about 718 million dollars and How that breaks down on the revenue side you can see there that the two largest pieces Which make up about 78% Are property taxes and sales taxes So those two together 397 million and 168 million respectively make up Three quarters essentially of the general fund revenue budget And then as you go around the pie, we have other taxes Those are things like franchise fees that we get from, you know, electric utilities and and gas utilities and those kinds of things We have transfers in those are coming from other funds to help support the operation of the business We have charges for services. Those are things like part rental fees and library fees and those kinds of things We have licenses and permits think of building permits and health related permits all of those kinds of things and then on down Some smaller revenue streams fines and forfeitures The other category and then intergovernmental all together 718 million dollars in the general fund On the expense side You see the same figure again. We have a balanced budget Same amount of revenue as expenditure and as you can see here we have these broken down by A service line or or or business line So essentially by department and you can see there on the expense side by far the largest chunk of that is going to public safety 24 to fire 38 percent to police. So that's 62 for those two components And then everything else makes up the rest with park and rec and transportation and public works making up the next two Largest pieces with economic development code compliance library And on around and several of them aren't even labeled on there There there are so many and they have a fairly Small sliver of that of that 718 million dollar pie But altogether Those are the business lines that are making up the general fund and providing a variety of services that residents and visitors of fort worth engage with on a daily basis so getting into some specifics of budget policies and and philosophies and and I guess before I start going in here I want to pause a second and ask if anyone has any questions related to the two budget Pie charts that we just looked at the all funds and the general fund We good to proceed. Okay So if we're looking at some budget philosophies and and policies I mean these are just some general things to keep in mind Like like any business enterprise, we want to take a long-range look at things We we don't want to look we do want to look at this year But we want to look at this year in the context of a wider Picture what what's out on the horizon? What do we need to be aware of coming at us in the future? We want to maintain or reduce the property tax rate We'll talk more about that as we go through the presentation currently the property tax rate for the city is 0.7475 And we'll get into some some charts that kind of break that down as we go through We want to maintain our infrastructure and we want to invest in new infrastructure. That's a priority That's one of our leading strategic philosophies here We don't want to dip into reserves to pay for ongoing operations We have reserves to make sure that if something happens We are able to continue to operate if for some reason those revenue streams that we talked about earlier start getting tightened or lessened And so we don't want to use reserves for ongoing operations Our capital program drives the operating budget This is really not different from any other municipality as we build things and put them in place It costs us to Operate and maintain them think of a new library. There are staff that are there. There are people that are doing Yard work associated with the landscape. There are people doing custodial things There are people managing parking all of those things And so capital investment produces operating costs that we have to keep track of and keep up with We want to make data-driven decisions. We don't want to necessarily make gut decisions It I think this so I'm going to make the decision We want to have empirical evidence that we're using To make decisions so that those decisions result in the best possible outcomes This is general fund focused But in the general fund everything competes with everything else you've got you remember that pie You've got that fixed amount of money and those lines of businesses are all competing with each other for that fixed amount Now 718 million dollars in fiscal 21 is it's a lot of money, but still That lot of money is finite and those lines of businesses are competing with each other for each of those dollars To that point resources are finite that's across the board And then our last one is there are choice choices and trade-offs. So if we fund The fire department at a higher level that funding has to be offset somewhere else If there's no additional revenue coming in to pay for whatever that is that we're funding and vice versa If we choose to elevate the funding for the library that funding has to be offset from somewhere else So each february we have a city council planning strategic planning retreat We had one this past february And that gives city council the opportunity to kind of look at What the forecast financial forecasts are and and how they are going to strategically plan for the upcoming budget year As we move into the budget development process, which typically kicks off Right after the city council retreat And so we present a long-term outlook for the budget like I just mentioned and and a lot of the information that we're going to talk about After this slide comes from that City council retreat and the information that we presented to city council at that time What we need to do is we need to understand future commitments What decisions have we made now or in the recent past that are going to require us to invest Or to fund certain programs in the upcoming fiscal year We're going to have some preliminary budget discussions What does a general fund look like what what does the economy tell us about what's coming in the near future Are the property values going to increase decrease stay the same Do we think sales tax is going to increase decrease if you remember those are the two large pieces of pie So those are the main ones that we're watching but we're watching all of the other ones too ccpd fund forecast heavily tied to sales tax and then In this year in particular, we were in the midst of a legislative Session and in the in the texas legislature What is the legislature going to do that may or may not impact Any of those lines of business in the general fund or any of those other funds that we need to be aware of that may Put mandates on us that require budget to support And then allocation of federal relief dollars We have in the last several years had access to some federal dollars that we have not been accustomed to with both the cares and now the American rescue plan Dollars that have come as a result of of coveted and the resulting federal actions that have occurred So I mentioned before that we were going to talk about tax rate allocations. Here's a Graph that kind of shows the distribution of those allocations over the last several fiscal years And if you look at the top of that and I realize this is a little bit hard to see But these presentations will be posted on the city's website so you can get in here and you can you can see these And spend as much time as you'd like looking at these once we get those posted As you can see going back to 2012 we had essentially two Distributions of the property tax rate one going to operations and maintenance Which is what the o&m stands for and the other going to debt And that's typically how most cities Distribute their property tax allocation And as you can see in 2012 It was 85.5 cents and what that means is That when you get your valuations in your property valuations 85.5 cents per $100 of valuation is what turns into Your property tax bill and that's the city's portion of the bill. There is also A county portion and usually a school district portion and maybe some special district portions But then as you go from left to right from 2012 out to 2021, which is the current fiscal year that we're in You can see that that total Tax rate is coming down And it starts to come down in 2017 and it comes down to its current level or current rate of 74 75 in 2021 and going back to that Goal or philosophy slide that we just covered Our expectation is that rate will stay the same in fiscal 22 But as you can see there in 2015 a third Allocation shows up And that p a y g stands for pay go and that's basically An acronym for pay as you go. So we're paying For something as we go along. So that's essentially our cash contribution to capital maintenance And city council at that time made a decision that we needed to be paying cash for capital maintenance And so you see this show up in 2015 at 3.8 cents per hundred Which is part of that whole allocation And again going from left to right it winds up at six and a half cents Which is its current level today. So essentially what that means is six and a half cents of the 74 point 75 cents of your tax rate is going into the maintenance of infrastructure And you'll I'll show you a list Downstream in the presentation to give you an idea of some of the itemized things that that six and a half cents Goes to maintain specific things But you can also see there that there's a Indication of a 2014 bond referendum at 292 million in a 2018 referendum at almost 400 million So when you infuse debt into the picture, you can see that as you go from Left to right 2012 to 2021 the rate is actually coming down But we are able to fund those bond programs Largely because the value of properties is is increasing and so we're able to provide those Bond referendas with no increase in fact a decrease to the overall tax rate that you can see there Are there any questions about the tax rate before we move on? Yes, so there's a you know, that's a significant decrease over those number of years And so largely due to the fact that there was a Deliberate effort to decrease the tax rate So that as property values accelerated The operations of the city were still being covered but not Putting that entire burden or that same level of burden on property owners So the rates coming down But the revenues are tied to valuation changes And so the the revenue was stable because of the valuation changes primarily We've got a microphone. We're gonna use the microphone so that it's picked up on the tape. I'm sorry I'll just repeat the question for the for the record. So there's a question about why the city's property tax rate has decreased significantly since 2016 and as mark mentioned it was a deliberate effort but to give that some context the city of fort worth's property tax rate Was the highest in texas So it hurts our ability to attract Businesses and families when they're having to pay such a high property tax rate And so that was an effort to to reduce that we're no longer number one I think we may be three or four something like that That's right. And that's excellent context. That's that's absolutely correct So we were the highest we are no longer the highest but That was a that was a conscious effort on behalf of city council To make sure that our our tax rate was coming down So we talked about uh, we we saw this in in a graph That we just got off of this is kind of how Looking at it more of an a flow chart Style of how that 74 75 breaks out You see the first Break is between o and m and debt and if you're looking at The state language that debt portion is called interest in sinking. So if you see ins that's what that means It's debt o and m and ins So the the operations and maintenance rate is 59 50 the debt rate is 15 25 and then o and m is further distributed between Operations and what we just talked about the capital maintenance. What we call pay go or pay as you go At six and a half cents. So that's the distribution of the property tax Rate allocation in fiscal 21 the the fiscal year that we're presently in And this is one of those graphs that we provided to city council during the retreat in february that i mentioned earlier This is property tax revenue over multiple years going back to 2006 This is for the general and debt service funds And as you can see to help answer the question that we just had as you can see the the change In revenues going from left to right from 2006 To the current fiscal year that we're in which is the dark blue bar fiscal 2021 You can see with the exception of 2011. We're seeing increases And the 10 year average increase is four and a half percent Five years seven percent three years seven point eight percent Right now if you look to the bar Immediately to the right Of 21 you see that negative number that red number That's this coming fiscal year the year that we're preparing to enter and developing the budget for We initially forecasted a reduction in property values in the aggregate, right? This is the aggregate over the whole city residential commercial industrial all altogether forecasting a modest decline in the overall property value And then we're expecting it to pick up again in fiscal 23 and going forward now we've since Uh had some indication that that may not be the case We we may not see a decline But we won't know for sure until we get the certified values from the tax assessor later this month Those typically come in to us at the end of july But this is the information that we presented to council during the retreat in february And we expected at that time to have a modest decrease in property values Go for it We're Sorry go for it after the mic gets here so with What everyone is hearing regarding? property values I mean in our neighborhood. They're going through the roof This meeting was held in february when you introduced this data so What are y'all doing and when do you finalize? What you expect to happen knowing that it's so volatile Yeah, great question. We get input from the various Taxing districts and and we're city of fort worth resides in is it five counties five counties And so we're getting reports from those assessors Each month leading up to the certified values, which we get in july So to answer your question july 25th is when You know basically is the deadline and so we should receive those certified values either on july 25th or A few days after within a few days of july 25th And then we will know what the actual values are That we will be able to set our revenue projections on for fiscal 22 And so last point on this slide before we move on you can see that 1 percent variance meaning as you're looking at those changes a 1 percent variance equals about 5.6 million dollars so Looking from 23 to 24 if everything remains equal that 4 percent over 3 percent Equals about 5.6 million dollars If we look at the same graph for sales tax revenue You can see that in fiscal 22 Which again is the year we're preparing for We we don't see a Forecasted decrease at all in fact we see the opposite and in fact when Covid first emerged and we were first preparing for how to handle it in the city Initial thoughts were sales tax is going to take a hit a pretty significant hit And it ended up being that sales tax Wound up as a more stable revenue source for all intents and purposes And you can see there in the 22 projection. We're actually expecting it to make a significant Increase over fiscal 21 and then sort of pick back up its normal growth rate after that of about 4 percent And so going into fiscal 21 You see that there was a modest increase But Again not a decline in the year-to-year change Except going back to 2009 which was one of the great recession years before we move on Are there any other questions regarding either the property tax? Trend or the sales tax trend at this point Okay So some of the things from a budgeting perspective that the city must take into account We talked about Earlier that that capital kind of drives some of the operating expenses Is what decisions have we made over the last year? or Several years in the past that will continue to have an impact in fiscal 22 a new impact new Expenditure coming online In fiscal 22. So that's one of the considerations that we have to take As we are developing the budget and as you can see from the Column on the far left the 2022 column The the change the the new expenditure that's coming online in 2022 from decisions that we've made either in 21 Or in a year before that Is approximately 31.4 million dollars So if nothing else 31.4 million dollars of new expenditure is going to come online in fiscal 22 from decisions that were made in the past And that's important because as we go back to those rising property tax Revenue numbers part of that is going to help to cover this And and these are things as you can see over on the left-hand side You know, there's a there's a variety of different things that are contributing to this Um And and they're all listed there And and you can see they're a variety of different operating and capital related items Yes Yes Yeah, so the so I don't believe any of these are directly attributable to carryover from covet Most of that direct impact Was funded through either the CARES grant or the ARPA American Relief Plan grant that's that's online now Most of these are operating or capital Decisions that were made that carryover. So for example The the one you pointed out the pension there there was a A vote that occurred and I'm now treading a little bit outside of my familiarity because this happened when I wasn't here but essentially what had to happen in order to Uh stabilize our our pension fund was that some additional contribution had to be made Uh part from the employees themselves and part from the city or the taxpayers And it was a 6040 split. So that's what you're seeing represented here is that 60 split that is part of the fiscal 22 and fiscal 23 budgets Are planned to be part of fiscal 23 And then as you go down the list each of those items is a different item that has an impact in fiscal 22 essentially yes split between The taxpayers and the employees the employees are paying 40 of that Cost that you see there or that contribution city's paying 60 percent And I I assume there's more information about that online somewhere Yeah, so there there's a whole lot of information about What led up to that and and what the result of that is on the city's website in the retirement area So kind of the second half of that slide or that table is this operating fund forecast or operating forecast And again, you can see going from from left to right starting in fiscal 22 If we have that additional 31.4 million of expenditure coming online What does that look like with respect to what we are forecasting for operating revenues? And again, I want to I want to point out that this was Our estimation at the time this was prepared which was in february of 2021. So that's now five months six months ago almost And so some of these have have changed but this is the snapshot that was provided in february Of 2021 and as you can see there with the addition of those 31.4 million We have an opening deficit of 26.7 million going into fiscal 22 that we have to figure out a way to close Right, so that's the challenge That we all face Going into fiscal 22 we all meaning us on the budget team and the city management team and all of the department heads and the departments working To produce the fiscal 22 budget We've got this opening deficit of 26.7 million that we have to close And so we'll talk more about that in a bit The other the other part of the budget is is the capital budget We just went over the operating budget the capital budget is associated with our five-year capital improvement program So we're currently in the 21 to 25 capital improvement program when we adopt the 22 budget We will go into the 22 to 26 capital improvement program And so the the five-year program is essentially a plan Says here is all of the capital investment. We're going to make over the next five years And the fiscal 22 budget then is the capital budget For that first year to opt to implement the first year of that plan Okay, it's a little confusing, but it's a five-year program one-year budget And then it just rolls every year a new five-year program one-year budget, right So our programming process for capital improvements again, we talked a little bit about some of this earlier But we want to identify the city's capital infrastructure needs and we want to do that using our comprehensive plan And eric flattiger is here from our planning Division who oversees the development of the comprehensive plan and so our comp plan is kind of the foundation for that How does growth and development look over the next 20 years? And what do we need to do from a capital investment perspective to ensure that that happens Or to implement that right and then other strategic plans that that the city has master plans other kinds of of strategic plans that would indicate how much capital investment we need to implement them We have to forecast resource requirements We can have great plans, but if we don't have resources to back them up or to implement them They're not implementable, right? So that's an important consideration We want to project the operating impact of those capital Investments we talked about that before if you bring a new fire station online or a new library online You have to staff those things you have to pay ongoing maintenance for those facilities We want to align the capital planning with our annual budget process. That's what we're talking about here Those two things need to be done in in concert with one another so that they're not out of joint Increasing transparency of capital and operating spending is important. That's what part of what we're doing here But we want a need for the residents and visitors of Fort Worth to understand What it is that we're trying to accomplish we need your input and feedback Ultimately, you're helping in a major way to fund these things So we owe you that information and that transparency And then we want to continue to evaluate maintenance needs and new investment based on equity And what that means is that we're looking and and Christina Brooks is not here But Christina is our chief equity officer And she's right now developing what's called the municipal equity plan That is Going to specifically Look for how we are investing not only new capital investment But also capital maintenance Equitably across the city. So that's something specifically that's being done But that is one of our strategic priorities as well And so capital planning and financing this is just kind of a gives you a A quick and easy view of what the difference is between maintaining existing infrastructure And new infrastructure investment and how we fund those things we talked Earlier about this in a previous slide But maintaining the existing infrastructure like a road that already exists And it needs to have some kind of maintenance treatment It has you know cracking that needs to be sealed It has sections that need to be completely replaced or refurbished those kinds of things We fund those with ongoing cash like revenues like we talked about the property tax component that we refer to as pago That's six and a half cents that we mentioned earlier And then we have other things that go into Funding maintenance for existing infrastructure like revenue that we get on gas well leases and other things like that On the other side for new investment most often we're using some kind of dead instrument a bond a note something That has a long life a long maturity that we're paying against annually Going way back to the expenditure slide. You saw you remember that debt service Component that was about seven percent of the total budget. That's what that is going to repay those those issued debt to Invest in new infrastructure we also use Impact fees and part dedication fees and occasionally grants to do that as well This is the same Flow chart that we showed earlier The only difference is that this is the proposed tax rate property tax rate Allocation distribution for fiscal 22 the upcoming fiscal year. It's exactly the same right now as it is in fiscal 21 and I'll say that We expect for it to be the same Depending on the certified values that we get there could be some drift in some of these numbers based on State law that would require us to do that But we expect for these to be the allocation distributions for fiscal 22 and again Just kind of reiterating the fact that we're assuming and this again is going back to the February Report to city council. We're assuming that assessed property value Assumptions or I'm sorry. We're assuming that assessed property values Are going to modestly decline in 22 and then pick up their rate of growth and again We expect for this to be in actuality different When we get the certified values, but this was the assumption that was made going back to february Bob, did you have a question? Gotcha. Well, yeah, we'll have plenty of time for questions If you have one now, we'll be happy to take it Okay So if we're looking at we mentioned using dead instruments for investing in new infrastructure part of How we prepare to do that as we look at what our Overall debt load looks like and then we look at what our future capacity may be And so that gives us an idea about how we can go back and put a bond package together For example in 2022 We're preparing right now a bond package that would go before the voters and I believe it's may of 22 and so right now we Believe that we don't believe we have calculated that there is approximately 600 million in debt capacity And so we are preparing a 500 million dollar bond package To take before the voters in may of 22 and and that bond package will include all kinds of things road reconstruction facility construction new fire stations those kinds of things All all kinds of different capital investments that Would be associated with a major bond program And so that is being prepared right now But again the important part of this is that the 600 million capacity Is there and the bond program? Is approximately 500 million so we would preserve 100 million in capacity going forward Our I mentioned the five-year rolling capital improvement program So when we get to the next year, it'll be the 22 to 26 program It's broken down into several different components. You can see there. There's a general program There's one for aviation one for a public event storm water and water and each of those programs reflects projects that You know are individually appropriated So you you you can go and look at the program on online currently the 21 to 25 program When we adopt the 22 to 26 program you'll be able to see that but you can see the itemized appropriations project by project program by program Each program and project is funded by a variety of revenue sources. We talked earlier about dead instruments bonds notes some are funded by grant revenue some are funded by Some of that pago Money that we talked about earlier. So there's a variety of funding sources there as well, which you will see if you Go through and look at the the 21 to 25 program And so this is the list that I talked about earlier going back to the pay-as-you-go project You can see there. So again, this is cash funding for capital maintenance, right? So we've got a list of all of these things that are funded at a variety of levels At the top you've got street and bridge maintenance that is taking up the majority of that funding And again, I want to point out that this comes from that six and a half cent Of the property tax rate that we talked about in a variety of places throughout the presentation And then you can see there the the other Projects that the pago funding pays you have traffic system maintenance. You have park and recreation maintenance You have sidewalk maintenance and all of these other things to the tune In fiscal 21 anyway of 48.4 million. So essentially that 48.4 million represents six and a half cents of the property tax rate that we talked about And I believe that that no, sorry So what's next we have the process for continuing to develop to recommend and then to have outreach about the fiscal 22 budget If you look here the the two recommendation dates that the city manager will bring the capital improvement program and the operating budget to city council Are august 3rd and august 10th respectively So in less than a month We'll be bringing both the cip and the operating budget to city council for their consideration Throughout august and september we plan to have a variety of virtual town hall meanings and regular town hall meanings And I believe that we have Or I know that we have a schedule of that posted online michelle I don't know if we have handouts tonight that people can take with that schedule So if you leave your email address, we can get you that schedule We are also going to have city council budget work sessions which happen every year and then the budget hearings these are the public hearings that Uh get to the where we have the tax rate and the budget Um public hearings in august and september and then again the anticipated budget adoption date Is september the 21st and so again the fiscal year begins August sorry october the 1st So if council adopts the budget on september 21st Approximately a week and a half later. We start the fiscal year with that adopted budget So that's kind of the schedule Proceeding from tonight going forward There this you know, there are only what eight lines on there But there there are going to be a lot of opportunities to engage about the budget We talked about the town hall meanings. There's there's going to be all kinds of ways To hear more information about the fiscal 22 budget when it is Recommended by the city manager to city council That is the last slide and so now we can open up the floor for questions and Get to as many of you as we can So let me start out. Let's start out with bob and and then we'll come down here You've got a microphone right behind you unless you want to come to this one. Okay. Well, my name is will be Okay, let's start off with this When you mentioned the the bond they're preparing The bonds now. I'm a matter of fact, I've got probably a half an hour stuff I'm not going to do it. I'm gonna summarize real quick. Just cut a couple of things One on the bond thing is when we get it like last time We're a little late in the process I want to get it before we get it in these little boxes laid out how we got a vote on the bond Last time it had in one of the boxes. It had 750,000 for playground equipment. That's good But it also had six and a half million for the rockwood golf course clubhouse. That's bad Now either you take all or you take none So we weren't involved on the first part of that would never been in the box If you put the rockwood golf course on its own, it would have failed You put it in with playground equipment It gets passed because we want the playground equipment So we want to be involved in those boxes earlier That's going in those before they do we'd like to okay. That's all I'm talking about that right now But the main thing is my understanding is That the city is right now 2.7 billion in the red Fort Worth is 2.7 billion in the red There's an organization out of illinois. It's called trippin accounting They surveyed 75 of the major cities and Fort Worth got a D And the woman on this was on the program Let's talk for local program here the internet show I'll work with two She explained a lot of this and let it out really nicely and kerry That hosts the show called the city to confirm Her word she got back was no comment I did some investigating I called the city manager's office We do a program called local voter education fw district 5.com Anybody can get the information there at fw district 5.com It's called local voter education sunday night's eight tonight. I called the city I called the manager off ask Can you send someone on to the program and see if this is true or not or talk about it? Or this could reach the public and share it. I don't put up boss information So I've got no response. So that's where I'm at right now on that. So what I'm really masking I'm sorry not to catch up I'm just asking can you get someone to come on our program july 25th and take some questions and answer questions That's that So in response to that what I would say is that is not specifically a budget related question So I'd be happy to talk with you about that Let's carve out some time and we can go over here and figure out how we're going to respond to that But if you have a budget related question, you asked a bond program Well, no, I thought that was the budget two point. Well, are we two billion points 2.7 billion in arrear? That would be budget, wouldn't it? No, that would be budget. Are we 2.7 billion arrear? Can we ask that here? Or do we know? That's not here. That's not asked here. Okay, then just simply us all want to make a statement now If y'all contact me in the next few days see if you can come on someone on the 25th because I got some people that can really ask I'm not that smart. I guess the smart people can answer questions.  Thank you. Sure. So if you'd like to stay I'll be happy to talk with you about that but to answer your bond question My understanding is that there is a whole public outreach and education process Yes, that is also part of the public house public Open house meetings that we talked about earlier But leading up to the election next May, there's a whole dialogue that's going to happen Specifically related to the bond program separate and apart from the discussions related to the fiscal 22 budget Okay. Well, and also that's something I'm asking too. We need someone we've asked someone to come on our The show to talk about the bond and redistritizing Mary from the city Referred us to community engagement community engagement. It's not respond. I'll be happy to talk to you about all of those things Are you the people that would handle that redistritizing and the bond? I'll be happy to talk to you about all of those Well, we want you to come on the program and talk to you so you can tell everybody that's what we want Not just me. It's not my job to commit to that right now, but I'll be happy to kind of figure out how we can resolve that Yes, thank you. You bet Don do you have a question? Question but from a different standpoint I was curious to know if our efforts to stabilize the pension fund Had an impact on our bond rating And the other part of that is In today's financial environment, would it even matter with the shortage of bonds for public consumption basically Yeah, and and reggie feel free to come down and help answer this. I would say that it it matters, but When the bond rating agencies come in they're they're asking all kinds of questions They have a range of different variables that they're factoring in When they ultimately deliver the the rating for that particular year for that particular issuance And so that you know the pension Any any outstanding liability is one of those factors But there's a host of factors that they consider when they're making those decisions And a lot of those are outside of the city's Budget and or finances period. They're the local economy Those kinds of things the the relative income of the folks that are Living in and around the city those are factors as well, but there's a whole host of things that they consider So our bond rating is double a plus from Is it is that moody's all three? So so we're rated by three different agencies and we the equivalent of of double a double a plus from all three of those Yeah Any other questions that I can help answer this evening michelle do we have any that have come in? I didn't want to clarify on the the bond projects that are being proposed Right now the phase that we're in for the bond election Is the public engagement phase? So this is where people let us know their thoughts on the bonds things that they think were left off Things that they agree with and that will be happening at the open houses And then at district district meetings that are being scheduled with the new council members So this is actually the phase In the bond election where people can provide their input Because the projects are not Actually part of a proposal that's going to be on the ballot yet. So this is the engagement. Yes. Thank you for that And so so so we are in that process right now And again going back to the discussion about the open houses and the other Meetings that are taking place those will all Provide an opportunity to do that as well Any other questions that I can help answer well, if not We've certainly enjoyed spending some time together with you this evening Again, we are going to from tonight forward Have several opportunities to talk about the budget once it's recommended And if you have other questions, I've got some cards I'll hand them to you that if they come up between now and then feel free to reach out and we'll get you some answers Thank you all drive safely. Have a great evening
