BRAZOS COUNTY
BRYAN, TEXAS
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Chapter 53 (§53.11) of the Texas Education Code authorizes creation of Higher
• Education Authorities. The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is an entity formed by a City for
the purpose of acquiring housing to be used exclusively for students and/or employees of
institutions of higher education. The property does not have to be located within the boundaries
of the City seeking the exemption.
WHEREAS, Section §53.46 of the Texas Education Code grants a Higher Education Authority
exemption from all taxes. This statute also gives the HEA the authority to issue tax exempt debt,
i.e., municipal bonds. Therefore, their borrowing cost is lower than that for a similar private
sector financing.
WHEREAS, The school funding system in Texas is largely dependent on the local property
taxes that are levied on taxable property. Any reduction in the value of local taxable property
reduces the amount of funding available for the operation of Texas school districts. After a one
year time lag, the State of Texas is then required to provide additional funding to make up the
shortfall resulting from these exemptions.
WHEREAS, The Cities where such property is located are required to provide police, fire,
infrastructure, utility and other services to these properties. However, a City where such
• property is located will receive no tax revenue from these properties.
WHEREAS, County government services are also provided to these properties and their
residents with no tax revenue from them to the County Government.
WHEREAS, Because the State of Texas makes up the shortfall to Texas school districts after a
one year lag time, these exemptions constitute a granting of State funds without action by the
Legislature. A City has the authority to grant State funds by causing the increase in State
funding required for Texas school districts.
WHEREAS, The exemption makes it a very favorable investment for a City as compared to a
private sector investment in an apartment complex. The HEA can finance the acquisition of the
property with tax exempt bond proceeds, resulting in lower interest rates. In addition, their
ji x
0
operating expenses are lower because they pay no ad valorem taxes. The private sector property
owner is paying higher interest rates on the acquisition costs and also paying property taxes
annually. Yet, the rental income market is the same for both.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commissioners Court of Brazos County, Texas
does hereby entreat the Legislature of the State of Texas to:
• Limit the ability of a Higher Education Authority to obtain property tax exemption to a
property within the boundaries of the enabling City - Or
• Require some form of "payment in lieu" of property taxes to each entity that would
otherwise receive tax revenue from the property.

Brazos County, Texas.

RE. Quarter Ending 09/30/2002 Investment Report
• This report is made in accordance with provisions of Gov Code 2256, The Public Funds Investment
Act, which requires quarterly reporting of investment transactions to the Commissioners' Court
The Brazos County Investment portfolio earned an average yield of 1.8779% for the quarter
ending 09/30/2002. Total investment interest deposited during the quarter was $124,584.34
producing a year-end total of $580,520.54. The average Earnings Credit Rate on checking account
interest during the past quarter was 2 1466% netting $111,344.70 of interest earned generating
the year-end total of $413,727 64. The total of all interest earned for the quarter was
$235,929.04. The yearly total of investment and checking account interest combined was
$994,248.18. In July 2001, Brazos County purchased a callable coupon note with the maturity
date of July 2003 and a one-time call date of July 16, 2002. The Federal Reserve chose to use
the call option in July; consequentially, all remaining funds invested for Brazos County are in
TexPool. The weighted average maturity of the invested funds was 1 day due to the liquidity of
funds invested with TexPool.
Brazos County had an investment cost of $17,394,960.21 that carried a book value of the same
because all invested funds with TexPool carry a net asset value of $1.00. The October 2002
TexPool Newsletter provided the 09/30/2002 ending market value of $17,407,484.58. The Brazos
County Investment portfolio stated an unrealized gain of $12,524.37 as of quarter end.
Commercial Paper uncertainties, yields on Agency Discount notes falling below Fed funds rates and
even the 2-year Treasury dropping to 1.72% at one point have all contributed to the lack of
investment opportunities in today's market. In July, when the Federal Reserve opted to call in the
only FNMA note left in the investment portfolio, Brazos County joined many other counties and
investing entities that have all of their portfolios invested in one form of a pool or another, The
current Earnings Credit Rate with the County depository bank is 50 basis points above the 3-
month Treasury and is 102% collateralized providing a safe and liquid port for funds that normally
would be invested. Money Market Mutual Funds, an approved investment option, may provide
another tool to be utilized in the future. In order to comply with the Brazos County Investment
policy a revision to the portfolio investment strategy, stating the use of TexPool and the County
Depository as the primary source of investments, was presented to Commissioner's Court at
quarter end
