Brooks City Base 4 Adopted FY15 Budget

In the past two years Brooks City Base has adopted a new vision, taking Brooks from aResearch and Technology Park to a mixed use community where citizens of San Antonioand surrounding areas can live, work, learn, and play. The Fiscal Year 2015 Operatingand Capital Budget was built to continue to turn this vision into a reality. The budgetfocuses on an enhanced Campus Appearance Program, EB-5 Regional Center, AggressiveMarketing Campaign, and an effort to secure public funding for various projectsthroughout the campus. Our budget reflects our dedication to promote, develop, andsustain a vibrant community that will serve as a catalyst for economic development andprosperity on the Southside of San Antonio.

The FY 2015 Operating Budget has expenditures totaling $ 8,601,497 with an OperatingReserve of $ 4,878,879; the equivalent of six months of operating capital. This year’sbudget has a 14.28% increase over the FY 2014 Adopted Budget. The FY 2015 CapitalBudget contains projects totaling $ 145,953,959. A significant portion of the CapitalBudget is allocated to new developments to include residential, hospitality, andcommercial components.

Budget Highlights:

Enhanced Campus Appearance

EB-5 Regional Center

EB-5 is a foreign investment program created by Congress in 1990 to help stimulate theU.S. economy and provide an opportunity for foreign investors to gain permanentresidency for themselves and their families. Brooks City Base is a designated EB-5Regional Center or an entity that is permitted to pool EB-5 capital from multiple foreigninvestors for qualified economic development projects. The FY 2015 Adopted Budgetincludes an increase to the EB-5 Program. This increase aids in creation of new contactsfor funding sources and the pursuit cost of investors through the EB-5 Program andForeign Direct Investment.

Aggressive Marketing Campaign

Over the past two years, Brooks City Base has reinvented itself. No longer a “researchand technology center,” this live/work/learn/play community has a new logo, a newland use plan, and a new vision for its continued redevelopment. As much of thebehind-the-scenes work is now complete, it is time to roll out this new vision with anaggressive new marketing and communications strategy that will re-introduce BrooksCity Base to local, regional, and national audiences. The goal is to use a comprehensiveapproach inclusive of multimedia portals to raise the profile of Brooks City Base. Ourstrategy is threefold:

1. Establish strong narrative.

2. Build brand equity and community awareness.

3. Market land use plan to choice employers.

Secure Public Funding

The local, state and federal lobbying program is geared toward identifying fundingopportunities for Brooks priority projects, and leveraging relationships to secure at least$35 million in funds from strategic partners/target resources. Our strategy is threefold:

1. Secure Brooks’ champions at each government level (local, state, federal).

2. Lobby grant applications, and other proposals (legislative amendments, and

submissions to corporate RFQs).

3. Raise Brooks profile by promoting unique BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure)

redevelopment model for progressive economic development.

Department Budget

The Facilities & Infrastructure Department is funded 100% by the Operating Fund. The increase in PersonalServices is due to the addition of a position and a rise in health benefits costs. Also included is a 3% Cost of LivingAdjustment for employees. The IT & Telecommunications line item reflects the addition of a contract for TelecomEngineering & Consulting Services. The Custodial Grounds & Upkeep increase is due to an enhancement in thecampus grounds program. The FY 2015 budget reflects the first full year of a landscaping contract with Port SanAntonio. This contract will lend general support to the current 4 full-time Brooks employees that maintain the1,200 acre campus. The increase in Security Services is reflective of the addition of a second night security officer.The rise in Repairs and Maintenance is due to the implementation of a Preventative Maintenance Program. ThePreventative Maintenance Program will help upkeep the many older structures at Brooks City Base and avoid largerepair costs in the future. There is a significant decrease in Office Expenses due to an adjustment made to the officephone after hours answering service. The decrease in Contingency reflects the transfer of that line item to the Non-Departmental budget. The Sources and Uses of funds for the Facilities & Infrastructure Department are below.
