Planning for growth

NBU rate increases look to fund future infrastructure

BY AMIRA VAN LEEUWEN

New Braunfels Utilities, or NBU, cus- tomers will be seeing an increase in their water, wastewater and electric bills in August after City Council approved a rate increase June 23. Council member Michael Capizzi said that infrastructure upgrades are needed now, not in 5-10 years. “The easy thing to do, the convenient thing to do, the feel-good thing to do is to vote no to a rate increase … but we didn’t get elected to make people feel good. We got elected to lead,” Capizzi said after voting to approve the rate increase.

New Braunfels eyes expanding convention center with hotel out site concepts. The fourth and nal phase of the process will include estimates of direct and indirect economic benets, such as new jobs and sales

New Braunfels City Council approved a $288,500 contract with C.H. Johnson Consulting, Inc. for the development of a market viability study on July 14. The study—which is being supported by the city’s Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund—will look at the potential expansion of the New Braunfels Civic & Convention Center with an adjacent hotel, according to agenda documents. The overview The South Castell Visioning Plan identied the center as a key redevelopment opportunity, calling for adjacent uses like hotels, residential units and improved public spaces. The feasibility study with C.H. Johnson Consulting will directly advance those goals by using up-to-date market and nancial anal- ysis to determine what is viable, agenda documents state. The project will consist of the following four phases: • Phase 1: market viability analysis • Phase 2: demand and nancial feasibility • Phase 3: conceptual site planning • Phase 4: economic impact and implementation study The market viability analysis will examine the city’s market relative to regional and national trends. The second phase will provide usage level projections for an expanded facility. “That second phase will be where the data and analysis can then start to determine how the facility should be expanded to support the existing and, more importantly, new demand,” Assistant City Manager Jared Werner said. Then the rm will use those ndings to draw

taxes. This phase will also look at potential funding strategies and outline a roadmap for implementa- tion, Werner said. Digging deeper The study can be used as documentation that can be used to pursue the Qualied Hotel Project, or QHP, designation in the 2027 legislative session. The QHP designation was created by the state of Texas under Chapter 351 of the Texas Tax Code, allowing cities to capture state hotel occupancy and sales taxes generated from eligible hotels to help fund public improvements associated with convention centers and related facilities, Werner said. The city pursued the designation during the 89th Legislature following two companion bills led by Rep. Carrie Isaac and Sen. Donna Campbell. “That bill did not pass, but having this feasibility study, we feel strongly [it] will strengthen our posi- tion by being able to better demonstrate demand,” Werner said. “We thought we were in good shape this year, but we think having this study puts us in a really great position for the 90th session.” Why now? Adjacent areas and the center itself lack a full-service hotel, which limits the city’s ability to accommodate conferences and overnight tourism. The facility’s demand also outweighs the supply of event space, with large portions of the calendar booked out as far as 2029, agenda documents state. The existing center—which has not been reno- vated or expanded since 2009—is also not scaled or equipped to attract a broader market of events.

New Braunfels Civic & Convention Center

"An expanded civic and convention center would give us the opportunity

to increase year-round hotel occupancy, boost sales tax and hotel occupancy tax revenues and support existing and new local jobs." ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER JARED WERNER

Werner said the current facility is not competitive for many regional and state-level events, which limits the opportunities for overall visitor spending and economic return. What’s next? Study results will be presented to council in the fall or winter, according to a June 30 council retreat workshop presentation. By early 2026, the city hopes to have more guidance on decisions related to project scope, nancing and legislative strategies, Werner said.

Visitors bureau looks to create TPID

10 Tourism Public Improvement Districts in the state of Texas

• Addison • Arlington • Dallas • Denton • Frisco • Fort Worth

The big picture The proposed TPID would have a board com- posed of hotel owners and general management, who would decide where the revenue from the TPID would be allocated. The district would be set up for a 10-year period, but the board has the authority to cancel it at any time, Pence said. “No tourism public improvement district has ever been canceled, and the ones who have come up for renewal have renewed because their return on investment has proven so positive in every single case in the state of Texas,” she said. The impact Funds from a TPID would enhance the bureau’s marketing and sales program to generate more hotel business and provide increased funding for sales incentives. The increase in funding for sales incentives would attract and retain groups for additional hotel night activity.

The New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau is considering the creation of a Tourism Public Improvement District, or TPID. What is it? A TPID, formed by hotels within a designated area, is used to generate supplemental funding for tourism marketing and additional sales initiatives to increase hotel business, according to a June 30 City Council retreat presentation. The objective of creating this district is to positively impact overnight visitation in New Braunfels through smart expenditures, allowing the city to successfully compete with destinations throughout the state of Texas, said Tanya Pence, president of the New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau. There would be a 2% assessment on hotel room rates—which is the standard—that visitors pay when they spend the night in New Braunfels, said Pence. There would be no cost to residents.

increase independence in family and commu- nity settings, according to the district’s website. What they’re saying The staffing additions are to accommodate the growing number of students with disabilities and ensure enhanced support and inclusive educational opportunities for all learners, Lanford said in the email. Michele Martella, the district’s executive director of special programs and services, told

the board that the state has seen an increase in children identified with disabilities, partially due to changes in categorization for disabilities such as dyslexia. Trustee Jason York said the special education staffing additions mirror growing enrollment in the student population. “For me, looking at this, I know the number [of additions] is relatively high, but I think this is finally going to get us close to where we need to be,” York said.

The intersection improvement project on I-35 and FM 725 in New Braunfels, which began in January 2022, is nearing completion, according to a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Transportation, or TxDOT. Zooming in The scope of the state-funded project includes operational improvements from the I-35 frontage road to Bobolink Drive, and it is slated to be completed in late summer or fall of this year. The original completion date was September 2023, but the project was delayed due to changes in the retaining wall design and the contrac- tor, according to previous Community Impact I-35 intersection project nearing completion

reporting. TxDOT crews have completed installation of new retaining walls for the northbound-to-south- bound and southbound-to-northbound turn- arounds. They are currently working on sidewalks and concrete islands at various locations within the project, according to TxDOT officials. Traffic signal upgrades are also underway at the intersection of FM 725 and the I-35 frontage roads. Once completed, the project will also include a new pavement surface throughout the construc- tion zone. What’s next A change in the traffic pattern took place on July 31. Tanya Brown, a public information officer at TxDOT, said the contractor will install mast arms for the new traffic signals and com- plete temporary striping to shift traffic into its final configuration. “As with many infrastructure projects, there have been unforeseen setbacks, including weather-related delays and scheduling adjust- ments,” Brown said in an email to Community

The Conrads Elevated Storage Tank, located at 797U Conrads Lane, is anticipated to be completed in September, according to New Braunfels Utilities ocials. Construction on the 2-million-gallon elevated storage tank began in January 2024 and is part of the utility’s master plan. The project’s design began in 2020, and NBU purchased the property for the tank in 2021, Project Manager Paula Dubois told Community Impact. The Conrads Elevated Storage Tank brings additional water capacity to the utility’s system, which helps with re protection and stabilizing water pressure for new and existing residents, Dubois said. “Elevated storage tanks are really useful in Utility project nearly complete

What else?

The $9.9 million project is funded through impact fees, a cost-sharing agreement with the Mayfair development and utility rates. Impact fees are an assessment of new development to generate revenue for funding improvements. Dubois said the city’s topography is unique because it is at on one side and Hill Country on the other. The tanks are dierent heights depending on their topography. “You can kind of see they all pretty much line up at the same elevation to help with pressures,” she said.

The Conrads Elevated Storage Tank is located next to the Northwest Crossing subdivision.

helping maintain system pressures because the Hill Country can signicantly decrease pressure in the higher terrain areas, and so elevated storage tanks help stabilize that,” Dubois said. Growth was also factored into the construction of the tank. With more homes being built, more water is needed for new and existing NBU customers, Dubois said.

“I had gone to Shane and talked to him about crystal kayaks, because I’d seen them in San Marcos,” Thigpen said. “I [also] wanted to bring paddleboards back. So we priced [the equipment] out, [and] went up and did the crystal kayaks on my birthday. [Afterwards] we walked right over to [Zelick’s Icehouse,] cracked a beer, and looked at one another, and we said, ‘We’re crazy for not doing this.’” The background Thigpen said the partnership began to form in

Planning for growth From the cover

Put in perspective

What to expect

“There is an end in sight,” Kelso said. “When we reach build-out, we will transition to a state of just operating and maintaining and replacing aging infrastructure.” He said other utilities have ceased developing, but the need for NBU is still there.

The utility’s customer base is projected to grow steadily over a five-year period, but the growth is expected to plateau by FY 2030-31. Kelso said he expects it will be much easier for the utility to maintain its capital projects by the early 2030s.

The new rates, which took effect Aug. 1, will increase the average residential monthly bill by: • $16 a month for customers who receive electric, water and wastewater, and use water for essential indoor needs. • $26 a month for customers with electric, water and wastewater who also choose to water their lawns or landscapes. Rate increases typically pass every two years— which means that plans for Fiscal Year 2028-29 rates will be presented to council in 2027, NBU CEO Ryan Kelso said. “With the volatility that exists in today’s economy, it’s difficult to plan longer than two years in advance with the way prices have moved,” Kelso said.

Customer growth The number of customers served by NBU is projected to increase by 25.3% from 2026-2030.

Digging deeper

Reagan Peña, said if NBU waited 10 years to begin work, rates would be much more expensive. “When you look at some of the other companies that are not doing this, you have to wonder … are they even taking care of their stuff?” Peña said.

The new rates will help fund current and future infrastructure. NBU has an obligation to provide continuous, adequate service to new and existing customers within its territory, but that territory is approaching build-out, Kelso said.

In comparison

like Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative, Austin Energy and CPS Energy. NBU comes in second place at having the highest wastewater rates, which are priced at $70. However, when it comes to water rates, NBU is the second lowest, with a price of $37.

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri dumped a record amount of snow in Texas, leading to ultra- low temperatures, which caused millions of Texans to lose power, according to the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The storm came at a price tag of $95 million in five days, where the utility would typically spend $90 million in power costs over a year, Kelso said. Electricity demand nearly doubled from customers heating their homes, and market prices hit the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT’s, market cap at the time of $9,000 per megawatt-hour for several days. NBU did not have adequate cash reserves to pay that bill. As a result, the utility had to issue a short- term taxable note of $50 million with J.P. Morgan to cover its obligations. NBU officials withdrew $45 million in cash from the utility’s general fund and a small reserve fund they had at the time for power. The $45 million, combined with the $50 million taxable note, was enough to pay ERCOT, Kelso said. After paying ERCOT, the utility had to recover those funds from customers over a two-year time period. By the end of 2023, NBU had replenished its accounts, whereas other utilities decided to recover those funds over a 30-year period. Now, NBU officials are intentionally building a dedicated reserve so they are prepared if another storm of similar magnitude occurs again. NBU engaged an expert in the national power market to analyze and model numerous stress cases, which indicated that a $95 million reserve would provide protection against extreme market volatility for customers. This would be reflected on a customer’s bill as “Replenish Reserve.” In summer 2022, NBU itemized this charge on customer bills, but the utility began collecting reserves in January 2020. At its current funding pace, the utility expects to reach its target reserve amount by 2028, accord- ing to NBU officials.

NBU’s monthly bill includes four utilities in one and is comprised of electric, water and wastewater, along with the city of New Braunfels’ solid waste and recycling. As of July 2025, NBU electric rates are lower than those of surrounding electric companies

King said he was a banker and senior financial executive in the industry before his retirement, and with an enterprise value, or the utility's total value, exceeding $1 billion, the city could defease its debt. However, the utility does not calculate an enterprise value because it is a nonprofit, NBU officials said.

“There’s a lot of ways you can save energy, and it’s working for me. But everybody’s household needs are different,” Kennedy said. Resident Bob King said he thinks the city has a “fiduciary obligation” to its residents to consider privatizing NBU.

In an email to Community Impact , resident Kara King said she thinks NBU keeps raising its utility prices because it wants to spend money on other projects that are not within its budget. Yolanda Kennedy, an NBU customer, said she has adjusted to the rate increases.
