Street maintenance and repairs a constant challenge for Richardson

When it comes to street maintenance, aging cities like Richardson have a heavier burden to bear.

The city maintains more than 310 miles of individual lanes, which is equivalent to the distance from Richard-son to San Antonio. The vast majority of those roadways are well past the 25-year useful lifespan of a concrete street, city o� cials say.

“An aging city like Richardson—where a signi� cant portion of the infrastructure is beyond its useful life—cre-ates challenges because in addition to trying to maintain … we also have to extend the life,” Deputy City Manager Don Magner said.

DISTRICT DEEP DIVE A look at RISD and PISD14School district begins transition to full-day pre-K program

BY OLIVIA LUECKEMEYER

Richardson ISD is one step ahead of a state law requiring an expanded pre-K program. But there are still hurdles to clear in the journey to full compliance.

The district vowed to convert its existing half-day seats to full-day prior to the signing of House Bill 3 in June. Under that new law, all public school districts in Texas are now required to o� er full-day pre-K

to qualifying 3- and 4-year-olds, and the state is kicking in major dollars to ensure the program is a success.

“This is something that has been on RISD’s legislative agenda for several

ASK THE EDITOR FEATURED STORIES

As the summer heat marches into September, students in Richardson and Plano ISDs have completed their � rst grading period of school year 2019-20. The earlier return to school is just one small educational change implemented at the local level. New state require-ments are pushing public school dis-tricts to increase enrollment for eligible pre-K students.

Increased enrollment for qualifying 3- and 4-year-olds is something RISD had already set in motion. A pilot of that program wrapped up in school year 2018-19 and has proven to be successful in improving academic outcomes. Learn more in a story on Page 22.

In our annual Public Education Guide,

you’ll � nd a breakdown of state assess-ment scores for RISD and PISD schools in Richardson.

We also have a statistical deep dive on pages 14-15 comparing both districts’ enrollment trends, demographic infor-mation, student statistics and overall funding.

As trends shi� in public education, you can count on Community Impact Newspaper to be in attendance at every school board meeting so we can report on what is happening at the local level.

Speaking of the RISD school board, did you know there is a special election coming up in November? See Page 17 for candidate information, a breakdown of the new electoral process and more.

Introducing the Public Education edition

Local ordinances implemented to preserve the visual character of residential and commercial build-ings were voided when Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 2439 into law June 14.

As of Sept. 1, government entities cannot enforce building material standards stricter than those set by the national building code, according to a bill analysis by the House Research Organization.

For Richardson, HB 2439 nulli� es portions of its comprehensive zoning ordinance, including a piece that requires residential and commercial buildings to have at least 75% and 85% masonry, respectively.

Richardson Development Services Director Michael Spicer said developers now have discretion over which building materials they use. They can also change material plans once they have been approved by the city; however, such changes may still be subject to obtaining permits or plan amendments, Spicer said.

Does building material law affect Richardson?

NEWS REPORT

has more than 70 partners in the metro area, including Baylor Scott & White, Cook’s Children and Methodist hospitals. Additionally, he said less than 1% of West Coast University stu-dents default on their student loans.

Duemand Edwards, director of the Dallas campus, told the commission that the nursing college has a 95% graduation rate.

In response to a question by com-mission Chair Ron Taylor, Edwards said students at West Coast University

range in age from 18-26 or 35-45.

“Many of our stu-dents are not com-

ing directly out of high school,” Koran said. “They already have fam-ilies; they already

have careers.”Koran said there

are no plans for student housing.

Commissioner Kenneth Southard referenced The University of Texas at Dallas as a Richardson-based exam-ple of successful student job place-ment and minimal loan debt.

“It would be exciting to have another really great success story,” Southard said.

Council was scheduled to vote on the permit Sept. 23.

Planning commission approves private nursing college relocation to Richardson

West Coast University is one step closer to calling Richardson its new home following unanimous approval by the city planning commission.

The commission greenlighted a special permit request for the private university at its Sept. 3 meeting. The college will occupy the former Fossil headquarters—a three-story and nearly 136,500-square-foot office building at 2323 N. Central Express-way. West Coast University will relocate its only Texas campus from Stemmons Freeway in Dallas to Richard-son, said Rob Koran, university vice president of facil-ities and asset management, at the meeting.

“We want to make a statement here in Richardson,” Koran said. “We want to be a partner in the commu-nity.”

The college will offer nursing degrees and other medical degrees that can be obtained in person or online, said Sam Chavez, city assis-tant director of development services. The campus will serve 1,500 students, with about 1,000 on-site and about 500 off-site in clinical rotations.

CITY & COUNTY News from city of Richardson and Richardson ISD

Nearly $400K in grants reserved for area art groups RICHARDSON Twenty-five cultural arts organizations could see grant funding from the city of Richardson in fiscal year 2019-20.

This year’s budget allocates $375,000 in hotel-motel occupancy tax revenue toward cultural arts grants. Of that, $360,000 is doled out in the fall for annual operations grants. The remainder is set aside for the spring grant cycle, which is reserved for one-time initiatives.

Grant requests this fall totaled $537,850, according to Assistant City Manager Shanna Sims-Bradish.

Applications are reviewed and

recommendations are made by the Richardson Cultural Arts Commis-sion. Eligible organizations must have a presence in Richardson, make an impact on the economy and prove their 501(c)(3) status, among other items.

In FY 2019-20, the commission is recommending 25 grants, ranging from $1,500 to $81,000, Sims-Brad-ish said. If council approves the recommendations, the Richardson Symphony Orchestra would receive the largest grant.

Council was scheduled to vote on the recommendations Sept. 22.

City Council approves FY 2019-20 budget, tax rate RICHARDSON A series of votes at the Sept. 9 Richardson City Council meeting served to ratify the fiscal year 2019-20 budget.

This year’s expenditures total $298.4 million, a 4.1% annual increase. An additional $8.2 million in property taxes is expected to bring the city’s total revenue to $304.8 million, a 6.3% increase year over year.

Council members voted to approve the budget. Conflicts of interest kept Council Members Bob Dubey and Ken Hutchenrider from voting on two pieces related to scoreboard main-tenance and health and wellness, respectively.

Council also voted unanimously to maintain its current property tax rate of $0.65216 per $100 home valuation. A portion of the tax rate totaling $0.38124 will help pay for the city’s operating expenditures. The remainder will help pay down the city’s debts.

This year’s tax rate will raise more revenue for the city than the previous year’s rate. As a result, the effective tax rate will increase by 8%, which

will raise property taxes on a $100,000 home by approximately $7.11, city doc-uments state.

Council members also voted unani-mously to approve two fee adjustments included in this year’s budget: a 7.5% increase in water and sewer service charges and a 7-10% increase in solid waste collection charges for commer-cial users.

The new budget and tax rate will become effective Oct. 1.

Mobile food pantry hits the road in Richardson RICHARDSON Local nonprofit Network of Community Ministries is delivering food to low-income students in Rich-ardson ISD.

A refrigerated mobile food pantry was unveiled in mid-August, according to a press release.

Food will be delivered monthly to students and families enrolled at Memorial Park Academy High School, Audelia Creek Elementary School, Lib-erty Junior High School and Thurgood Marshall Elementary School. Nutri-tional information and healthy recipes will also be distributed, the press release stated.

The truck will also be used to trans-port food donations from selected retail partners, according to the release.

Network of Community Ministries is a nondenominational nonprofit that provides food, clothing, utilities, rent and income support to nearly 9,000 individuals each year, according to its website. It is headquartered in Richard-son at 741 S. Sherman St.

New partnership allows RISD teachers a chance to earn their master’s degree in special education RICHARDSON ISD District teachers now have a unique opportunity for professional development.

District trustees approved a partner-ship Sept. 9 with Texas State Univer-sity in San Marcos. With support from the district, RISD teachers can par-ticipate in a TXST program to obtain their Master’s of Education in Special Education. The degree will have a concentration in behavioral disorders and positive behavior supports.

The program will begin in January 2020 and include 12 courses, accord-ing to RISD. Spring and fall classes will meet monthly in RISD on Friday afternoons and Saturdays, while sum-mer classes will meet in San Marcos over two separate weeks. There will also be an online component to the courses.

Program participants will be expected to take on research projects. They must also remain with RISD through May 2023 and be available to teach students with significant

behavioral and emotional challenges, according to RISD.

To help participating teachers, RISD will fund substitutes for half of one Friday each month, according to the handout. The district will also pay for some or all of the costs of summer trips to San Marcos.

Interested teachers must first inter-view and be approved by RISD before submitting an application to TXST. The application period is open now through October, according to RISD.

RISD teachers can now pursue a master’s degree through Texas State University.

New electoral system reflected on RISD ballot

The � rst single-member district election in Richardson ISD’s history will be held Nov. 5.

The switch was precipitated by a law-suit the district settled in February. Former trustee David Tyson Jr. alleged RISD’s at-large voting system discouraged candidates of a minority race from pursuing board service. And even when they did run, they faced a competitive disadvantage, Tyson argued.

As a result of the settlement, � ve of the district’s seven trustees will be elected by voters in a speci� c geographic district, while two trustees will be voted on by residents districtwide.

Single-member districts 2, 4 and 5 are included on the Nov. 5 ballot. No at-large seats are up for election this time around. This means only voting-age residents living in districts 2, 4, and 5 will be eligible to vote in the RISD trustee election this November.

Incumbents Eron Linn and Karen Clardy are seeking re-election in Districts 2 and 5, respectively. Linn is facing a challenger in newcomer Vanessa Pacheco, while Clardy is running unopposed.

Four newcomers—Regina Harris, Taler Je� erson, Patricia Price Hicks and Sakennia Reed—have � led to run in District 4, which has been identi� ed by RISD sta� as an area where a majority of minority voters reside. This seat was previously held by Katie Patter-son, who resigned from board service Aug. 16.

Superintendent Jeannie Stone said she was pleased with the candidate turnout for this election. She said she hopes to see the same level of enthusiasm from voters.

“These candidates represent a variety of backgrounds and experiences, which is healthy for our electoral process and ulti-mately how our board approaches the discus-sion and decisions that impact students,” she said.

RICHARDSON ISD

The following tables reveal test results from the 2018-19 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, exam. Community Impact Newspaperpublishes STAAR results by campus and school district. The tables also identify the Texas Education Agency’s 2018-19 accountability ratings for campuses based on the new A-F accountability system. The STAAR scores shown are for the spring 2019 administration of the test, but the TEA accountability ratings factor in additional administrations and other factors.

COMPILED BY OLIVIA LUECKEMEYER

OVERALL RATING

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT looks at how much all students know and can do in tested subjects. For high schools and districts, grades are based on how many graduates are ready for college, career or the military and how many students approach, meet and master grade-level expectations on the STAAR.

SCHOOL PROGRESS looks at how much better students are doing than their peers in similar schools or how much better all students are doing than they were last year.

CLOSING THE GAPS looks at how well different groups of students, such as race, income level and special education status, are performing. Higher grades are awarded if all students are doing well in academic growth and student achievement.

Revised funding formula means extra cash for Richardson ISDRecent legislative changes will

bring millions of dollars in additional revenue to Richardson ISD this school year.

House Bill 3, signed into law June 11 by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, drasti-cally altered the Texas public school funding formula. But some districts fared better than others, RISD Chief Financial O� cer David Pate said.

“Any time the state makes legisla-tive changes in the funding formulas, there are winners and losers,” he said. “We bene� ted; some may have lost.”

Overall, the district’s general fund revenue will increase by $20.6 million, or 6% year over year. This stands in stark contrast to the � nances of Plano ISD, which kicked o� school year 2019-20 with a $16.2 million de� cit.

One primary goal of HB 3 was to reduce recapture payments, or the money property-wealthy districts send to the state each year to subsi-dize costs incurred by property-poor districts.

RISD owes 92% less in recapture this year than it did in school year

2018-19, Pate said. Neighboring PISD is also projecting a decrease but is still on the hook for $160 million.

Also skewing the budget in RISD’s favor are demographics, which now play a more signi� cant role in determining how much money school districts receive from the state, Pate said.

RISD will see an additional $5.4 mil-lion in state funding—a 17% annual increase—for students classi� ed as low-income, according to Pate. It is also poised to receive more money for special education, bilingual and pre-K students.

To free up money for high-need students, the state reallocated funding from other areas. One group the dis-trict will now have to pay for in full is its gi� ed and talented students, Pate said.

“We are still going to serve those students like we always have, and strive to always improve their perfor-mance,” he said.

The state also mandates that school districts allot a certain percentage of money toward teacher compensation.

RISD has gone above and beyond what is required, Pate said.

The district’s budget includes $7.5 million for compensation of teachers, librarians, counselors and nurses. This re� ects a 34% increase over the state requirement, according to dis-trict data. “Our district did not want to just reach the mandate,” Pate said. “[The board] cared about what was right for our sta� .”

HB 3 was coupled with the state’s e� ort to provide taxpayer relief. Under the new law, the district’s property tax revenue, combined with funding from the state, cannot push RISD’s annual revenue past 2.5%, Pate said.

To stay within that cap, RISD trustees voted Aug. 27 to lower the district’s maintenance and operations tax rate by just over $0.10 to $1.06835 per $100 valuation. The district estimates this should save the average RISD homeowner about $157 per year.

Residents should continue to see a reduction in the district’s operational tax rate. So long as property values continue to increase, Pate said, “it should only go down.”

Plano ISD Chief Financial Offi cer Randy McDowell presented information on the tax rate for fi scal year 2019-20 at the Sept. 3 board meeting.

“Bond rates are very low, as you know, so that is working to our advan-tage,” McDowell said.

House Bill 3 had a role in lowering the tax rate for this year. The new law required many districts to compress their maintenance and operation rates. The district property tax is based on the M&O and interest and sinking, or I&S, tax rates. These two make up the proposed tax rate.

The e� ective tax rate is the rate needed to produce the same amount of tax revenue as the previous year. There was little guidance on how to calculate this tax rate due to the implementation of HB 3, McDowell said.

“So some of the tax rates, as we know, it gets real confusing on tax rate and language,” McDowell said. ”It got more confusing this year with the implementation of House Bill 3.”

PISD adopted its amended budget for the 2019-20 school year Aug. 7. The district’s recapture payments will be lower this year to compensate

for the compression of the M&O tax rate, McDowell said. Recapture, also referred to as the “Robin Hood pay-ment,” is a � nance tool through which the state uses property tax revenue from property-wealthy school districts to fund part of the Texas Education Agency budget.

Without the passage of HB 3, the district would have sent an estimated $255 million in recapture payments this school year, and it would have faced a $33 million budget de� cit. The district currently faces a $16.2 million budget shortfall going into the 2019-20 school year.

Plano ISD approves tax rate for fiscal yearThe Plano ISD board of trustees

adopted a tax rate for � scal year 2019-20 at its regular meeting Sept. 3.

The overall rate for FY 2019-20 will be set at $1.33735 per $100 valuation. The maintenance and operations rate—M&O—will be lowered by 8.69%, or $0.10, from the previous year. It will reduce taxes on a $300,000 home by roughly $228.

This will be the lowest tax rate since 2010, according to PISD Chief Finan-cial O� cer Randy McDowell. PISD also has the second-lowest tax rate among 10 other area school districts, McDowell said.

“Last year, the $1.439 [rate] was cost-ing average residents $5,140 [annually] in school taxes,” McDowell said. “That number is down even though the val-ues have gone up on the homes.”

The rate tied to the 2016 bond pack-age will also be lower this year than in previous years and will reach what McDowell called historic lows.

sessions now,” Deputy Superintendent Tabitha Branum said. “The fact that [the state has] provided this full-day funding will allow us to do great things for kids.”

Currently, a child quali� es for RISD’s program only if he or she meets certain language and income requirements. But district leaders say their goal is to make the program universal by 2025.

The � rst wave of RISD’s full-day program began in August. The district initially budgeted � ve years to fully convert all half-day pre-K seats to full-day, but HB 3 accelerated that deadline. RISD now plans to apply for a waiver to delay full implementation until school year 2021-22.

District o� cials face the challenge of � nding enough space to serve eligible students. They estimate they will have to double the number of available class-rooms and teachers—they currently have 56 of each as well as 64 coteachers.

THE FIRST DOMINO

Research shows students enrolled in pre-K are better poised for long-term academic and career success.

“We see this as an investment not just for that year—it is an investment in their future,” Branum said.

But half-day programs are proven to be less e� ective than full-day, Pre-K Pro-gram Director Katy Phinney said.

“Ultimately, we need more time with these kids to close that [achievement] gap,” she said.

According to the National Institute of Early Education Research, the e� cacy of a longer program hinges on quality. In other words, educators must ensure curriculum is not just watered down to � ll a six-hour period.

“If that is what happens, then there won’t be much in the way of gain,” said Steve Barnett, senior co-director and

CONTINUED FROM 1

founder of the institute. RISD already uses full-day curricu-

lum that is trimmed for a half-day, so the extra time will allow teachers to strive not just for surface understanding but also depth and mastery, Branum said.

“If you don’t have to teach letters, you can spend a lot more time giving them a richer vocabulary; if you don’t have to teach numbers, you can spend a lot more time on the deeper concepts of math,” Barnett said.

Enrollment in pre-K has also proven to narrow academic achievement gaps typically seen among minority and Caucasian students. A study of Grand Prairie ISD’s early education program showed students of a minority race enrolled in full-day pre-K outperformed their peers in assessments that measure for kindergarten readiness.

Hispanic and black children com-prise nearly 70% of students enrolled in RISD. At this early stage of implementa-tion, the district has not yet measured pre-K success in terms of race and eth-nicity, but it is con� dent its results will be consistent with similar programs in the region and nationwide, a district spokesperson said.

Kindergarten readiness is the � rst domino to fall in a long line of academic milestones, including reading at grade level by third grade.

“We know what [reading on grade level by third grade] can mean for a student’s dropout rate, graduation rate and career earning potential,” Branum said.

A study by RISD found that students who attend pre-K are almost four times more likely to read on grade level by

third grade than those who did not.The readiness factor is what drove

Reyna Bernache to enroll her 5-year-old son, Eduardo, in RISD pre-K last year. Eduardo is now a thriving kindergart-ner, Bernache reports.

“I wanted him to be ready, and now he is ready,” she said.

LEVERAGING DOLLARS

Prior to HB 3, Texas was ranked top-10 in the nation in terms of pre-K enrollment. Barnett said this is due to the large number of qualifying students who live here.

But the state landed in the bottom 10 in terms of pre-K per-pupil state spend-ing, according to the latest annual report from the National Institute of Early Education Research.

“Texas has been in the ‘standing still’ or ‘moving backwards’ category,” Bar-nett said. “[HB 3] is a big step forward.”

State funding for full-day pre-K in RISD totaled $4.5 million in Year 1, according to Chief Financial O� cer

David Pate. Districts are free to use the money however they see � t; RISD has chosen to invest it in sta� ng.

The district exceeds the state’s stu-dent-to-teacher ratio requirement of 22:1. In RISD, each pre-K class of 22 students has both a teacher and a co-teacher. Some of the co-teacher cost will be le� to the district, Branum said.

“So it is not a complete break-even for us, but it has made it much easier,” she said.

THE ROAD AHEAD

Now that state funding has allowed for full-day programming, pre-K enroll-ment will likely go up, Barnett said. That means securing space for future eligible students.

It is impossible to know how many eligible pre-K students live within dis-trict boundaries, Branum said. For a rough estimate, the district looks at

PRE-K IN

TexasOver the past 16 years, pre-K enrollment in states nationwide has gone up, but average per-pupil funding has declined. For many years, Texas has been notorious for low per-pupil spending, leaving more of the tab to be picked up by local taxpayers. Some of these Texas statistics will change due to increased state funding in HB 3.

kindergarten enrollment, she said.Pre-K enrollment for school year

2019-20 totaled 1,604 students. Roughly 43% of those students are enrolled in a full-day program, according to Phinney.

Half of RISD elementary schools cur-rently house half- or full-day pre-K pro-grams. This year, the district converted Dobie Primary School into an early childhood learning center exclusively serving pre-K students.

The majority of RISD campuses do not have space for pre-K, Phinney said. Sta� has begun the process of identify-ing buildings for leasing or repurposing.

“We are looking at every nook and cranny to � nd space,” she said.

Whether the district should aim for embedding pre-K in neighborhood schools or opening centralized early childhood learning centers is one of the uncertainties surrounding implemen-tation of full-day programming. Bra-num said she predicts RISD will use a blended model.

There is no debate over the value of pre-K, which is why the district intends to eventually open the program to all children—regardless of income. This model would likely involve a tiered tui-tion scale for non-qualifying families, Branum said.

On emotional night at The Star, Plano ISD shows support for El Paso’s Eastwood HighArea community members, including Plano ISD students and staff, showed their support for Ysleta ISD’s Eastwood High at its football game against Plano Senior High School on Sept. 5.

Many in the El Paso community are still re-covering after a mass shooting in August that left 22 people dead.

Plano ISD had some initial concerns about security for the high school game, but those were resolved once Frisco ISD and the Dallas Cowboys offered use of the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco.

The two teams shared words, hugs and high-fives before the game began while the schools exchanged gifts on the side-lines. At halftime, bands and drill teams from both high schools performed a combined show.

Prior to the game, Ysleta ISD board of trustees President Cruz A. Ochoa shared a few words at a media reception that included school board trustees, district administrators from FISD, PISD and YISD, and city council members from Frisco, El Paso and Plano.

“Look at this. After all this tragedy, some-thing good has come out of it,” Ochoa said. “We are Texans. We are Americans. We’re part of this duo.”

Members of each city and school also spoke at the reception.

1 Eastwood Head Coach Julio Lopez, left, speaks to both teams before the start of the game while embracing Plano Senior High Head Coach Jaydon McCullough and encouraging team members to greet each other before the game.

2 Patty Borrego, David Graves and Rachel Anguiana cheer for their home team, Eastwood. Borrego wears a hat she hand-decorated with the shape of Texas on the front and “El Paso Strong” on the back.

3 Plano ISD defensive lineman Dominick Herrera holds hands with El Paso East-wood defensive back Nathan Carranza during the national anthem.

4 This large wooden plaque was given to Plano Senior High by Eastwood High. The plaque was created by a Ysleta ISD coach from another high school. Plano gave the Eastwood school a unity circle.

5 The Plano Senior High student section cheered loudly for the Plano and Eastwood bands after their combined performance.

6 Eastwood wide receiver Nathan Samaniego celebrates Eastwood’s first touchdown early in the first quarter.

C orey Hyden spent his teen years as a semiprofes-sional video gamer, but as an adult, he wanted to

� nd a less time-consuming way to enjoy his hobby.“I needed a game that I could pick up, play for a few

minutes and just be done with it,” Hyden said.Inspired by the memory of going to the arcade as a

child, Hyden bought his � rst vintage game. Eventually, with more than 100 machines stored in a warehouse, he decided to open an arcade in his native Richardson.

“I’ve been able to kind of time travel by buying all these really obscure games,” Hyden said.

He soon discovered that the city has laws requiring multiple permits for arcades. Nevertheless, Hyden was determined to open the business. In December 2015, Free Play was born.

The arcade houses about 100 classic games and pinball machines. Each game features original parts to promote the same experience gamers had in the ’80s.

Unlike some arcades, Free Play does not charge per game. Instead, a � at fee is paid at the door, unlocking unlimited gaming.

“You’re not going to worry about which game you’re good at or which game you really, really love—you’re going to play them all.”

One unique feature of gaming is the sense of commu-nity cultivated through playing with friends or strangers. Hyden said a Facebook group of more than 5,000 mem-bers is used to plan hangouts, tournaments and other events.

Through this community, Hyden has borne witness to many of his customers’ milestones.

“We’ve had people start dating at Free Play, get engaged … [have] weddings at Free Play,” Hyden said.

Free Play has also invested in its community. The arcade has donated roughly $25,000 to area schools since it opened, Hyden said.

“If we’re successful, it’s because of the community sup-porting us … It would be criminal if we didn’t give back as much as possible,” Hyden said.

DINING FEATURE

BY LUKE SCHUMACHER

J on Barrilleaux started his almost 40-year food industry career as a teen in New Orleans.

Since then, he has worked in numerous restau-rants, both in and out of the kitchen. To him, the food business is all about the adrenaline rush.

“Running a kitchen is like [conducting] an orchestra,” Barrilleaux said. “The conductor keeps everybody in sync.”

Eventually, he decided he wanted to own his own place, so in December 2006, Barrilleaux and his wife, Lindsay, purchased Ye Shire Tavern. The restaurant had been open on Shire Boulevard in Richardson for a few months but was struggling, he said.

“We kept the same decor, and I started evolving and expanding the menu,” he said.

Many of the daily specials, including the meatloaf and pork medallions, eventually gained enough popularity to earn permanent spots on the menu.

A dedicated chef and foodie, Barrilleaux sets a

high standard by making sure all Ye Shire Tavern dishes are made from scratch. He also stays on the cutting edge of the industry by keeping up with the latest food trends.

“All I do is research food,” he said. “I love seeing ... what other people are doing and putting a spin on it to make it my own.”

Over the years, Ye Shire Tavern has developed a following of regulars who have become like family, Barrilleaux said. When a customer asks for some-thing, he said he always tries to make it happen.

“I had a guest whose father was in the hospital, and he worked a lot, so I ran food to [his dad],” he said. “I’ve seen kids grow up, do their graduation parties, rehearsal dinners—and now they’re married with kids.”

And a� er all these years, Barrilleaux said he still puts in time on the kitchen line.

“I still love being in the kitchen and putting out good food,” he said.

Several years ago, City Council asked staff to assess the condition of basic infrastructure. This was the impetus for a 10-year project aimed at address-ing every residential street. Fiscal year 2019-20 marks the eighth year of that effort.

But funding for street projects is lim-ited compared to years past. Recent legislative changes mean the city will have fewer resources to address the demands of aging infrastructure, Mag-ner said.

WHAT LIES BENEATH

The condition of Richardson’s streets is inextricably linked to the age of below-ground infrastructure. About 300 annual water main breaks cause potholes and other issues at street level, Magner said.

“Every year, [street maintenance] becomes more and more of an issue because it is inevitable that pipes that are 30, 40 or even 50 years old … will start having failures,” he said.

Any time a pipe breaks, the city removes a piece of the road, replaces the pipe and then fills the hole with concrete or asphalt, he said.

“The compounding effect the sub-surface infrastructure has on streets is

CONTINUED FROM 1something that we are constantly try-ing to keep up with while catching up on some maintenance that in the past has been deferred,” he said.

The city’s ultimate goal is to pro-tect good streets, improve fair streets and replace poor streets, Magner said. But often, it is unable to immediately replace a failing street with full-depth concrete. Instead, crews pour asphalt to sustain the street until a con-crete repair can be funded by a bond.

“Asphalt, in our city, is an interim strategy, but some-times, that period can be as long as 10 years,” he said. “Asphalt is never intended to be permanent, but it is used strategically to try and help us create an acceptable driving surface until that street can be replaced.”

About 20 miles of residential con-crete streets in Richardson are overlaid with asphalt, Magner said during a June 13 council meeting. The condition of the concrete beneath the asphalt dictates how quickly the city will reconstruct the roadway. About 12-15 miles should be addressed over the

next two bond cycles, Magner said. For the remaining miles, staff is sug-

gesting removing the existing asphalt and repaving the road with new asphalt. Some council members per-ceived this strategy as kicking the can down the road.

“It potentially sends a message that we may not be as committed to full-depth concrete as we’ve commu-

nicated,” Council Member Steve Mitch-ell said at the June 13 meeting.

The next possi-ble bond election is slated for FY 2021-22. In anticipation, the city is gearing up for its next citywide

assessment to determine which streets should be addressed first, Magner said.

FINDING FUNDING

Between FY 2012-13 and FY 2018-19, the city increased its contribution to street and alley maintenance by roughly 319%, or $4.4 million.

This maintenance is funded through a partial dedication of levied property tax. In FY 2019-20, that revenue will total $5.7 million.

But unlike the past seven years,

this year’s budget does not include an increase for maintenance and repairs.

The street and alley maintenance property tax dedication grew in value by $400,000 in FY 2019-20. But rather than funneling those dollars toward additional maintenance and repairs, the city has chosen to hire additional public safety officers, City Manager Dan Johnson announced Aug. 26.

This move reflects Richardson’s new reality in the era of Senate Bill 2, which caps the amount of property tax rev-enue cities can collect on an annual basis. Next year, the city is facing a $4 million-$5 million loss in revenue, Mayor Paul Voelker said.

“The decisions we are making this year are heavily influenced by the deci-sions we won’t be able to make next year,” he said.

To ensure revenue stays within the state-mandated 3.5% cap, some money will have to be diverted. Street and alley maintenance funds are not immune, Magner said.

“The city’s ability to continue to fund street and alley maintenance at the same level as it did prior to SB 2 will be impacted, for sure,” he said.

THE CITY MAINTAINS MORE THAN 310 MILES OF INDIVIDUAL LANES, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT

TO THE DISTANCE FROM RICHARDSON TO

SAN ANTONIO.

Unlike the past seven years, this year Richardson will not increase its allotment toward street and alley maintenance. This is to prepare for the budgetary impacts of Senate Bill 2.
