Harris County voters to decide $1.2B bond
Bond on the ballot Harris County’s $1.2 billion bond is split into three propositions for public safety facilities, roads and parks. Commissioners Court voted 3-2 to adopt an allocation plan by precinct for the road and park bond funding.

Harris County residents will vote on a $1.2 billion bond to fund public safety facilities, road mainte- nance and parks during the midterm elections Nov. 8. Voters can approve or reject three separate prop- ositions: $100 million for public safety; $900 million for roads, drainage and multimodal transportation; and $200 million for parks. Historically, the county has proposed road and park bonds every six to eight years, most recently an $848 million bond in 2015. Commissioners were divided on whether to hold a bond election this year, voting 3-2 to place it on the ballot Aug. 19 with Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey and Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle opposed. But Daniel Ramos, executive director of the Harris County O ce of Management and Budget, told Community Impact he believes the county needs to issue a bond because the 2015 bond will be almost fully expended by the end of 2023. “Folks are driving on unsafe … [and] poor- quality roads today. Our public safety personnel are in substandard facilities today. We have folks that we can take out of the ood plain today. And all of that requires funding,” Ramos said. “At the end of next year, we’re not going to have another funding source to continue to do projects.” The county has not published a list of projects that would use bond funding—something Ramsey has voiced in his opposition to the bond.

The CI Local Pin Incorporated into our main logo, the CI Local Pin symbolizes our focus on local and making an Impact in every community we serve.
The new mission statement is: “Our mission is to provide trusted news and local information that everyone gets,” which speaks to both the editorial content and business ads that our communities love and use. The vision statement was created by all Impacters and speaks to what we hope to accomplish with each day of our work: ”Our vision is to build communities of informed citizens and thriving businesses through the collaboration of a passionate team.” There are no changes to the company’s purpose and values, and Community Impact is committed to living those out every day. CI’s purpose is: “To be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.” The company’s values , or stones that are physically awarded internally for a job well done each month are Faith, Passion, Quality, Innovation and Integrity. The company’s updated logo features the signature CI red and gray, but lighter, brighter and bolder. CI also incorporated a new design element—the CI Local Pin , a simple recognizable icon—into the new logo to further solidify its focus on local news and making an impact in every community it serves. The design of the new logo more accurately reflects CI’s design philosophy, Creative Director Derek Sullivan said. “Less is more—we always aim to keep it clear, clean and concise,” he said. “In addition, the new CI Local Pin helps us visually connect the main brand with our other internal and external initiatives. For example, the pin is part of our IRG logos (Impacter Resource Groups promoting equity, diversity and inclusion), and the pin is shifted upside down to become an ink drop in our new CI Printing logo.” Vice President of Sales and Marketing Tess Coverman said CI’s updated name speaks to the company’s robust product line and allows for continued innovation in the future. “As new ideas come up, as long as they filter through our updated mission statement and core values, we can more easily introduce them to the Community Impact audience,” she said. “For example, hosting events is a recent request by some CI Patrons as a benefit to the community and a new revenue stream, which we might consider in 2023.” With this brand update and newsroom expansion, CI prides itself on being the largest community journalism newsroom in the state, covering local businesses, transportation and road projects, development, health care and government.
No longer just a newspaper company, Community Impact is rebranding to better align with one of its core values: innovation.
Although many readers may know CI for its monthly, full- color print newspapers, the company is much more than just a printed newspaper. Since its inception in 2005 in the gameroom of John and Jennifer Garrett’s home in Round Rock, Texas, the company has lived up to its entrepreneurial roots, creating its own in-house customer relationship management software, building a printing plant, launching email newsletters and podcasts, and expanding its reach to four Texas metros and more than 2.4 million homes. To reflect its entire product line and continue to allow for future growth, the media company has changed its name from Community Impact Newspaper to Community Impact. This process began in early 2022 when leadership at CI completed a workshop with Jeff Hahn of Hahn Public to strategize their next innovative move. Following the workshop, CI made the decision to update its entire brand schematic, including the logo, colors, tagline, mission statement and vision statement. “Since 2005, Community Impact has been a trusted source for local news as we have built the largest community journalism news organization in Texas,” CEO and founder John Garrett said. “Our award-winning monthly newspaper and our innovative daily digital products will be the focus of the investment Jennifer and I are making in local news for—God willing—years to come. Our team is committed to helping all Texans we serve, regardless of your socioeconomic status or political affiliation, to get news you can trust to help you connect to your community.” In an effort to produce even more local journalism, CI has already promoted 10 editorial team members since January and will add more newsroom positions in the coming months to maintain its status as the leading newsroom in the state. A portion of this growth is attributed to local CI advertisers along with CI’s reader-funded Patron program that launched in 2020. The company plans to expand with a corporate Patron program in 2023 based on similar demand. As part of the rebrand, the company’s new tagline , News Everyone Gets, was shortened from Local. Useful. Everyone Gets It. to mirror what CI does best—simplify complex information into various news formats in a delivery method and tone accessible to anyone. Plus, CI created a new mission statement and updated its vision statement to reflect both present-day and future goals.
Owners and founders, John and Jennifer Garrett

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES METRO makes weekend use of high-occupancy vehicle, toll lanes permanent
COMPILED BY RENEE FARMER & DANICA LLOYD
ONGOING PROJECTS
Following a pilot program this summer that opened the Metro- politan Transit Authority of Harris County’s high-occupancy vehicle, or HOV, and high-occupancy toll, or HOT, lanes for use on weekends, the board voted Aug. 25 to make the program permanent. Under the program, the lanes will be operational seven days a week on a permanent basis. The addition will cost the agency up to $3.3 million, according to Nader Mirjamali, METRO HOV/HOT lane project manager, adding $644,500 to the agency’s contract with TransCore ITS to operate the lanes. “This is part of an effort to say that, yes, our job is to connect people to jobs, but it is also to connect people to recreational opportunities, weekend trips, leisure trips, trips to schools, universities, you name it,” METRO board Chair Sanjay Ramabhadran said at the Aug. 25 meeting. The plan includes METRO’s five HOV and HOT lanes along I-45 North, I-45 South, I-69 North/Hwy. 59 North,

PUBLIC SAFETY Harris County ESD 9 approves salary increases, growth plans in 2023 budget
APPROVED BUDGET Harris County ESD No. 9’s scal year 2023 proposed budget aims to avoid any tax raises or additional expenses for the department. ESD 9 REVENUE FOR 2023 The ESD broke down expected revenue for the 2023 budget based on di erent revenue sources.

personnel in August. “As the number of volunteers are decreasing, currently what has to happen is the full-time or part- timer sta have to pick up those shifts when they’re not lled,” Ramon said Sept. 8. “If a part-time person doesn’t come in, a full-time or volunteer has to pick up those shifts. So we need to increase our sta ng to make sure that we don’t end up burning out all of our amazing people we have because there’s too many shifts for the number of people we have currently.” O cials said when sta ng levels are insu cient, taking over someone’s shift means an extra 24 hours on the job and away from home. “What’s going to happen is somebody’s going to end up working four days a week, four 24-hour shifts,” Ramon said. “That’s going to get old at some point, and they’re going to stop working the over- time shifts, and then your trucks are going to have to be put out of service because we don’t have the personnel, and I don’t want it to get to that place. I want to be proactive.” Seeking solutions To alleviate these challenges, Ramon said she decided to include an allotment for increasing sta ng in an amended budget presented at the Sept. 15 workshop. On top of this, Ramon advocated for funding to provide raises for sta members in hopes of keeping the department competitive and current employees content. “The reason that we’re here is the community, but the only way that the community gets taken care of is if the people who work here get taken care of,” Ramon said. “Because if they feel like they’re second class or if they’re not getting taken care of, then that attitude is going to be taken out on the citizens, and I don’t want that.” Ramon said she provided justi cation for the raises by tying it to annual U.S. Social Security Administration in ation reports with the 2023 cost of living projected to increase by about 10%. Outside of these additions, the approved budget will maintain revenue and minimize costs as the newly elected commissioners continue to perform audits and compile information for the creation of a master plan. According to Ramon, the department has had a plan that was orchestrated by previous commissioners and involved plotting the area’s growth and strategically placing re stations throughout Cy-Fair to ensure fast response times despite a large coverage area. “We’ve done a lot of growing over the past couple of years. ... Bringing on more personnel is what’s been required with all that, and we just hope to continue seeing that growth continue on to ensure that all these days, all the stations, all 13 stations remain sta ed and our sta is where they need to be,” Fillmore said.
The Harris County Emergency Services District No. 9 board of commissioners approved an $82.4 million budget for scal year 2023, including 10% salary increases for sta , during a Sept. 15 workshop. The taxing district supports emergency services o ered by the Cy-Fair Fire Department, and o cials said they anticipate receiving about $85 million in revenue to support operations in the next scal year. Also included in plans for FY 2023 was $51 million in capital expenses, including land purchases for future stations in Towne Lake, Dunham Pointe and Bridgeland. While ESD No. 9 is not planning to increase the property tax rate in FY 2023, the newly formed budget committee’s initial proposal presented Aug. 25 did not include raises or additional per- sonnel in the 2023 budget. Commissioners Kevin Stertzel and Robert Paiva, who were elected to the board in May, serve on the budget committee along- side Fire Chief Amy Ramon, who pushed for raises for her sta during the budget planning process. “One of the things we’ve been keenly interested in since we were elected and sworn in was under- standing what exactly the department’s strategic plan is, and much to our disappointment, the department does not have a strategic plan,” Stertzel told Community Impact in a Sept. 2 interview. “So in absence of a plan, we thought it best to hold things steady, take the next few four to six months hopefully to assess where we need to go. Our goal is to make the department the premier department or premier ESD in the state.” A no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.049984 per $100 valuation was preliminarily accepted by the three newest commissioners, Naressa MacKinnon, Paiva and Stertzel, with Bevin Gordon and David Langen- berg in opposition at an Aug. 25 meeting. The board unanimously approved the no-new-revenue tax rate at its Sept. 22 meeting. Sta ng concerns Christopher Fillmore, the president of the Cy-Fair Professional Fire Fighters Association Local 5248, said he was concerned that not including raises in the budget would impact the department’s employees and ability to continue to grow with the community. “We’re not able to sta consistently every day with four or more on an apparatus is typically what we try to shoot for,” Fillmore said. “But there are some days where we have to drop down to three, so with the increase in sta ng, that [would] allow us to better have four on there, continuing to be competitive.” Concerns around burnout and the retention of employees also plague the department, Ramon said.

County cuts proposed budget, waits on tax rate vote

the amended budget—which is $104 million smaller than the $2.24 billion budget proposed Aug. 23—to avert a government shutdown. Daniel Ramos, executive direc- tor of the Harris County Office of Management and Budget, said all departments would face cuts. “Across the board, our costs are
going up,” Ramos said. “In addition, each one of [the department’s] positions costs more than it did in short fiscal year [20]22.” The final deadline to vote to adopt tax rates is Oct. 28, Berry said. If com- missioners cannot reach a quorum, the county and HCFCD rates would drop to the no-new-revenue rates.
HARRIS COUNTY Commissioners Court voted 3-0 to adopt an amended fiscal year 2022-23 budget during its Sept. 13 meeting, but as of press time, it delayed a vote on the county’s tax rates until Sept. 27. As Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey and Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle were absent, both com- missioners released email statements confirming they would not show to vote on the proposed overall tax rate of $0.57508 per $100 of assessed val- ue—a 1% decrease from the previous year’s rate of $0.58135. Without a four-member quorum, the court could not legally vote to adopt a set of tax rates. Instead, Pre- cinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia and Judge Lina Hidalgo voted 3-0 to adopt the annualized version of the short fiscal year 2022 budget for the county and the Harris County Flood Control District. County Administrator David Berry said he recommended the court adopt

Harris County commissioners approve $750M flood mitigation grant

infrastructure as well as drainage,” she said. The county will have around 10 years to expend the funds. About $600 million will be available for projects with the rest going to administration, IT and general proj- ect delivery, Holloway said. GLO’s guidelines dictate each project must have a minimum budget of $1 million, and 51% of the beneficiaries must be low to moderate income. With the CDBG grant funds, the county can chip away at the $1.4 billion gap in funding for the 2018 flood bond program projects. Around $400 million is left in need, said Daniel Ramos, executive director of the budget office.
HARRIS COUNTY Commissioners approved an agree- ment for a $750 million grant from the Texas General Land Office for flood mitigation at a special meeting Aug. 31. Adrienne Holloway, executive director of the Harris County Community Services Department, said the $750 million in Community Development Block Grant Mitiga- tion funds is part of an amendment to the GLO’s plan to invest in infrastructure improvement in areas damaged by Hurricane Harvey. “It really is a drop in the bucket in some of the improve- ments that we need to have made across the county and
