16. Abstracts
This report contains the results of a municipal utilities study
in which existing and proposed water,
sewerage, drainage and solid waste were discussed and analyzed. The report also examines all
the existing public buildings and recommends the needed changes and anticipated needs based on
the population projections and the Future Land Use Plan. An
annexation study concerning
Nederland's extraterritorial jurisdictional areas was conducted to determine an annexation pro-
gram method that Nederland should follow in annexing such
areas. An Annexation Program
Alternative has been prepared and included,

WATER EXISTING WATER SYSTEM
SYSTEM
Supply Raw water supply for the City of Nederland is furnished
through facilities owned and maintained by the Lower
Neches Valley Authority, which also supplies raw water for all
major industries and municipalities in South Jefferson County.
Development of River Authority facilities are programmed to pro-
vide adequate raw water supplies for farming, industrial use and
municipal needs as may be demanded from expansion of present
water uses. Water purchase by Nederland is on a contract basis.
Treatment Facilities: The existing treatment facilities consist of
two Infilco accelerator units of 3.0 MGD
and 1.5 MGD, filters and subsequent storage tanks. Raw water is
aerated and treated water is fluoridated and chlorinated. Present
plant capacity is 4.5 million gallons per day without using a coag-
ulant aid. Use of coagulant aids will provide a total plant capac-
ity in excess of 5 million gallons per day. The quality of raw water
will determine the specific quantity of plant required for any parti-
cular period.
Storage Facilities: Elevated and ground -level storage are an inte-
gral part of a water distribution system. Storage
is used to satisfy demands and provide water at times when the source
of supply is malfunctioning.
Ground Storage facilities consist of three tanks, one at ground level
and two underground (clearwell) tanks. Ground storage tanks are
concrete tanks and have the following capacities:
Clearwell No. 1 - Capacity of 320,000 gallons
Clearwell No. 2 - Capacity of 1,000,000 gallons
Ground storage tank - Capacity of 250,000 gallons
Total Capacity is 1,570,000 gallons, and the tanks are inter-
connected with distribution originating from high service pumps
located at the clearwells.
Elevated storage consists of three units piaced 100 feet (low level)
above mercantile district with capacities of 500,000 gallons in the
Westerly section (Canal Avenue), 150,000 gallons in Southerly
Central area (Hardy Avenue), and 400,000 gallons located in
Easterly section (South 5th Street). Total elevated storage is
1,050,000 gallons.
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
Distribution System: The existing distribution system consists of 2"
through 12" distribution lines which serves the
entire area, presently within the corporate limits. In addition, the
distribution system has been extended by privately owned lines to
serve an 80 unit mobile home park (Northwest area) as well as to an
outlying subdivision in the airport area which adds approximately
130 customers. Minor extensions which serve another two to five
customers adjacent to the City limits have also been made, however,
such extensions are considered to be minor when pertaining to the
system's scope for this report. The existing water distribution system
is illustrated on the Map, "Existing and Proposed Water System",
which indicates the location of supply and transmission mains, stor-
age facilities, pumps, and fire hydrants.
Pumping Facilities: The existing pumping facilities consist of units
that are necessary for plant operation, chemical
pumps and filter backwash pumps, and pumps that are required for
system operation. System operation requires raw water pumps and
treated water pumps (high service pumps). Raw water pumps consist
of four 1050 G.P.M. pumps, total 4,200 G.P.M. and high service
pumps, which pump to distribution, consist of two 600 G.P.M.
pumps and two 1,250 G.P.M. pumps, total capacity of 3,700
G.P.M.
Water use data compiled from City records is tabulated on Table 1
for comparison with regard to total production, per capita use, and
increase in the number of customers. This data is provided for a five
year period on a monthly basis. Values shown under the yearly col-
umns indicate average daily water use as tabulated from City flow
charts. Other data shown with the table, is provided for informa-
tional purposes and further evaluation.

The existing system provides fire protection from hydrant spacing
placing structures within a 500 foot radius of hydrants in residential
areas and within a 300 foot radius of hydrants in mercantile and
industrial areas. All hydrants are supplied from mains of six inch
diameter or larger.
Additional water facilities exist in an area removed from the City
owned system. These facilities serve residents in Central Gardens,
which are taxed and served by the President and Board of Directors
of Jefferson County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10.
The existing structure of the Water Control and Improvement Districts
does not permit the purchase of fire hydrants (which are in existence)
but does permit service to residents with potable water and waste-
water facilities. Generally, Central Gardens is served by a distri-
bution system consisting of 6" lines or smaller. Inventory of other
system facilities consist of:

Eventual integration of existing facilities owned by the Jefferson
County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 is anticipated.
Detailed studies of each facility item will be required for evaluation
of various approaches required for specific needs at time of integration.
Common raw water source and method for treatment, transport and
storage will enable maximum flexibility in utilizing each asset for
maximum benefit.
Supply: Raw water supply from Lower Neches Valley Authority is
assured by active and aggressive planning in development
of transportation canals for delivery of raw water to municipal and
industrial customers. Treatment facility improvements with relation
to increased capacity, in the Consultant's opinion, will be limited
to additional refinement of treatment procedure to meet more re-
strictive quality standards and increased individual water consumption.
IQ!
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
Each phase, or period, improvement' will require thorough investigation
and projection to meet community needs. Ultimate population (1994)
needs will have to be identified a minimum of 8 years prior to 1994 in
order to prepare specific treatment expansion or needs which can be
defined as production items.
Storage Facilities: Ground storage expansion should receive top system
,. priority, in the Consultant's opinion, since storage
capacity at ground level provides maximum flexibility in operation of
surface water treatment plants and will provide added time for main-
tenance and repair of treatment units as units acquire and accumulate
more age and capacity increase. Ground storage capacity increase
can usually be provided at more reasonable cost than elevated storage,
-. although clearwell (underground) type storage is recommended, thus
eliminating one pumping operation. Immediate action is recommended
for acquisition of property adjacent to or in the general vicinity of the
.-. existing water treatment plant. The Consultants believe this is neces-
sary to obtain sufficient property for storage development on a specific
scheduled basis. Detailed engineering studies and City Official dis-
-m- cussion and evaluation will be required to establish specific structure
configuration and land requirements.
Elevated storage facilities are needed or required to meet and pro-
vide relatively constant system pressure, fire protection needs and
usually represents a high unit cost when compared to ground storage
n- cost. Maximum efficiency in providing required elevated storage
can be obtained by selecting capacity increments that encourage
the maximum number of bidders for each unit and by scheduling
receival of bids during periods which favor the purchaser. Acqui-
sition of necessary property at an early date after definite need
has been established is again recommended.
The actual storage location recommendations are illustrated on the
Existing and Proposed Water System Map at the end of this Chapter.
'Distribution System: The distribution system needs are rather flexible
relating to location, especially in the North-
`— westerly and Southwesterly sections of the City. Specific location of
various size lines will be controlled by future development of road-
ways and right-of-way for utilities and by quantity of water to be
°3 consumed by specific users. Basic needs have been established for
general routing of future main lines in the undeveloped and sparcely
developed areas in the Northwestern and Southwestern parts of
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
Nederland. General location of recommended mains, as illustrated
on the Existing and Proposed Water System Map at the end of this
Chapter, provide for maximum flexibility with final or ultimate
location also depending on available property for storage facilities.
This item location will control the route of main line connections.
The existing eight inch diameter loop new generally provide for
additional line extensions in developed areas for added water use
and fire protection. The major main line improvement considered to
be high priority is a 10" main (minimum) from Canal Avenue to F.M.
Highway 365. Proposed location for this improvement is on 22nd
Street, 23rd Street, and on an extension of 23rd Street from Avenue
H to Nome -Port Neches Highway (F.M. 365).
Extension of main line distribution is also recommended from Twin
City Highway (State Highway 347) along Lower Neches Valley
Authority Canal to an extension of Helena Avenue at F.M. 366,
along Helena Avenue extended and Helena Avenue to a connection
with existing main lines at Helena and 9th Street. The recommended
line, minimum ten inch diameter, would be supplied from twelve
inch main and connect to an existing eight inch line which is lo-
cated on 9th Street and an existing eight inch line that connects
back to the twelve inch line on Helena Avenue at the alley between
l2th Street and Highway 347.
Specific improvements in each general classification of various incre-
ments required in the make-up of a water system are rather complex.
The following tables 2 and 3 are not included to further an already
complex item, but will give City Officials guides for selection of
proposed system improvements requiring substantial capital investments.
Both tables reflect minimum requirements as established by the related
agencies. Comparison of minimum requirements indicates a significant
difference in requirements and each agency, as we would expect, is
concerned with items related directly with the function of that agency.
Conclusion: Past system design has been in accordance with State Fire
Insurance Board requirements since the system design is
evaluated as part of the insurance rates established for citizens in the
area. As stated herein, high priority should be established to acquire
property to satisfy future improvement requirements. Here again, the
Consultants believe, ground storage facilities are urgently needed to
provide for anticipated peak loads, continued plant or production

operation at constant rate and perform minor maintenance to equip-
ment. Raw water pumping capacity to meet plant capacity is
desirable and high service pump capacity sufficient to meet peak
demands is recommended. Continued compliance with State Fire
Insurance Board requirements is dictated and efforts should be
made to meet requirements established by the State Health Depart-
ment. A number of associated items in a system complements an-
other item in the system, all systems differ in demands depending
uPon citizen schedules in the service area. Each system appears
to have a special problem, not common to other systems. These
problems change and with proper communications between City
Officials, Citizens, City Management, Operations and Engineer-
ing, excellence in system function can be attained.

SYSTEM Collection System: All residents of the City of Nederland except one,
are presently served by City owned facilities.
Areas beyond the existing corporate limits of the City, especially to
the Northwest, are presently being considered for possible service by
the Jefferson County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10,
as well as the City of Nederland, which has applied for a Step 1
Grant requesting funds necessary to provide area collection system
improvements. The current priority ranking for the City as established
by the Texas Water Quality Board concerning the grant request is
0030 with their WCO number being TO81 (WPC4EX-1140). Jeffer-
son County W.C. and I.D. No. 10 has a current rating of 0245 and
a WCO No. of T139.
There are two collection systems which now exist within the City of
Nederland (including extraterritorial area). The first one being the
Jefferson County W.C. and I. D. No. 10 consisting of approximately
600 acres which is served by a recent wastewater facility improve-
ment program. The collection system consists of 6" diameter through
12" diameter wastewater collection lines which experience high
infiltration rates during periods of high intensity rainfalls. This
existing system also contains one lift station with three lift pumps
(250 G.P.M.) producing a total capacity of 750 G.P.M. The
second system is a small privately owned system consisting of col-
lection facilities which include 6" lines, lift station and force main
(6" diameter) which presently serves a mobile home park Northwest
of the City. This facility discharges wastewater to City facilities
at Canal Avenue and 34th Street. A force main from the mobile
home park to the entrance of the City system is sized to provide
additional service for further development by the mobile home
pork owner.
The collection system owned by the City consists of numerous lines
•- with sizes from 6" through 36" in diameter and three lift stations
(Numbers 4, 5, and 6). Lift station No. 5 is actually ownpd by
the Nederland Independent School District, however, the City is
under contract for its operation and maintenance. This lift station

The existing collection system has been designed in accordance with
the following Chart 1 using the upper curve which represents a flow
of 6,000 G.P.A.D. The internal collection system has been designed
for extension to Spurlock Road, providing gravity flow to the treatment
facilities. Once past Spurlock Road, the extension will require exten-
sive in -system studies, evaluation and, in the Consultant's opinion,
curtailment of existing infiltration -inflow in lines which terminate
with a trunk line on 27th Street, Hardy Avenue and at the wastewater
treatment works with a Pone size that varies from 21" through 30"
diameter as well as a trunk line on 34th Street, Helena Avenue, 36th
Street, Nederland Avenue, 35th Street, Avenue C, and Hardy Avenue
with a line size that varies from 18" through 24" diameter. Other
areas, presently undeveloped, specifically between Avenue H and
F.M. 365, can be served by the existing system without undue prob-
lems. Infiltration -inflow evaluation required for a Step 1 Grant will
without question require system analysis as well as possible corrective
measure initiation which, at the present time, can not be identified.
Efforts to determine specific problems and how to evaluate these prob-
lems as well as others is a matter for debate and at the present time
nonconclusive. The existing sewerage system is illustrated on the
Existing and Proposed Sewerage System Map at the end of this
Chapter.
Sewerage Treatment Plant: The existing treatment plant consists of
two new units rated at one million gallons
per day which was constructed under the Environmental Protection
Agency grant (75%) and local funding (25%) project designated as
WPC-TEX-630. Existing plant facilities prior to construction of the
new contact stabilization units, consisted of two trickling filter units
(lift station, primary clarifiers, filters, final clarifier, sludge digesters,
drying beds, and appurtenances), which are presently not in operation.
The contact stabilization units are designed to handle an average flow
of one million gallons per day and 2,000 lb. of B.O.D.5, individually,
while the appurtenant items consist of a main line lift station (two
2,000 G.P.M. constant speed and one variable speed unit maximum
capacity of 2,000 G.P.M.), compressors for air supply, sludge drying
beds, and chlorine retention facility. Present average daily flow is
I6[i1
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
1.55 MGPD. Peak daily flow metered to present has been 4.0 million
gallons per day. All plants, units, for wastewater treatment are lo-
cated at one site on Hardy Avenue and Avenue E.
FUTURE SANITARY SEWERAGE SYSTEM; STANDARDS AND CRITERIA
Collection System: The City of Nederland, in an effort to satisfy the
needs of the residents adjacent to the existing
corporate limits has applied for grant assistance to serve an area
Northwest of present City limits. Service to this area can be pro-
vided with gravity facilities and expansion of the treatment facilities
" as described in that related section. The service area limits are gen-
erolly located along Spurlock Road. Detailed engineering investi-
gation could alter such area limits but, in the Consultant's opinion,
alteration will be very limited and will not affect the size of future
or proposed trunk sewers Northwest of Spurlock Road. As previously
mentioned, the priority rating for this grant assistance is 0030 with
the WCO number for Nederland being TO81 (WPC-TEX-1140).
Immediate improvement of the Central Garden facilities are not
indicated (Jefferson County W.C. and L.D. No. 10) however,
eventual service to this area can best be provided by the retirement
or relocation of the existing wastewater treatment plant and serving
the entire area North and Northwest of Spurlock Road with a trunk
sewer as shown on the Existing and Proposed Sewerage System Map
at the end of this Chapter. Topographic features are suggestive that
maximum economy can be derived from a proposed sewer along Rodair
Gully. Contour of the land and the gully location in the center of
the area to be served has influenced the placement or location for a
proposed main trunk line. Collection lines smaller than 10" diameter
are not indicated on accompanying Sewerage System Map when street
pattern has not been fully developed. Area development and ulti-
mate service for meeting needs demand that consideration be given
to facilities that best meet the need and necessary time schedule.
Ultimate facility size and location will possibly require efforts of
various related governing bodies for system development. All plan-
ned facilities that are proposed to take into consideration the Texas
'State Department of Health criteria, the Environmental Protection
Agency criteria and the local environmental quality standards, as
- they are presently understood and enforced. Varied plans for
regionalization of the system or systems have also been made and
are referred to below for informational purposes. The Lower Neches
Valley Authority (LNVA) prepared a "Comprehensive Sewage Plan
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
1970-1990'° which was financed by the Texas Water Quality Board.
Response was made to the LNVA plan by Chas. R. Haile Associates,
Inc., Consulting Engineers, by a report or study titled "Waste
Treatment Study for Groves, Port Neches, and Nederland - Septem-
ber, 1970.'° Updating of the LNVA Comprehensive Plan is presently
under progress and the final basin plan is to be completed in July,
1975.
Sewage Treatment Plant: Treatment plant improvements consist of
renovation of the old treatment units to
provide an additional one million gallon per day treatment as out-
lined in the Engineering Report prepared for the present plant
expansion. Proposed facilities with infiltration -inflow curtailment
will, in the Consultant's opinion, provide treatment for ultimate
development in the service area. Renovation of the old plants
will consist of filter recirculation using recirculation pumps, use
of original primary unit for sludge thickner, converting digesters
from anaerobic to aerobic digesters and blending effluent from this
unit with effluent from contact stabilization units for chlorination.
Treatment facilities for the unserved areas beyond the present ser-
vice area generally limited to Spurlock Road are recommended,
and if at all possible, the design of such facilities should include
maximum flexibility in order to encourage one facility for treat-
ment of waste in the Rodair Gully water shed, including the
Jefferson County Water Control and Improvement District No.
10. Ultimate location for the plant site is recommended as shown
on the Sewerage System Map, approximately one mile Southwest
from the intersection of extraterritorial jurisdiction limits with
Rodair Gully. It is believed that the proposed location would
satisfy the service needs for a minimum area of approximately
2,000 acres.
Conclusion: Evaluation of the existing system requirements for
satisfaction of present flow quantity has nat been
cussed in detail and final conclusions will only result from extensive
investigations, analysis and ultimately, conclusions and directions
persued to meet desirable results, as established by the governing
body, which are attainable. This can and will, in some cases, be
most desirable in order to expedite initiation of any defined problem,
on an individual basis. Aggressive leadership, a true desire to
develop and serve an area, will come forth and fuse most reasonable
and desirable development plans and ideas into a workable method
for providing service for areas under study as relating to any specific
time period.

MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
General improvements are outlined herein and are intended to be used
as a development guide. Topographic features, elevations, availability
of easements and right of way, available space in existing right of way,
use of previously dedicated right of way, and specific needs as related
to routes of development, will influence specific location for each
wastewater collection line. Detailed location for each facility to serve
each incremental contributing area is not intended to be related in this
report and will be dependent upon evaluation of all factors; Engineering,
development character, political aspects (general City policy) and
financial ability of the City at time of need for each particular segment.
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
STORM Storm drainage facilities are required to dissipate the runoff from
DRAINAGE excessive rainfall and can consist of creeks, channels, enclosed
SYSTEM storm drains with inlets, or a combination of natural and man-made
facilities. The purpose of a storm drainage improvement is to pre-
vent or minimize water damage that results from high intensity rain-
fall. In general, storm drainage facilities are designed to dis-
charge runoff from storms that experience has shown to be of
objectionable magnitude and frequency. Normally, the high
value business district's drainage is designed for storms which
occur more frequently than once in twenty-five years. If prop-
'" erty damage could be unusually high, a recurrence interval of
once every fifty or one hundred years is sometimes used. The
recurrence interval for residential developments is commonly
once in five years, although some communities require greater
protection. In planning storm drainage facilities, a point of
diminishing returns can be found so that the economic loss from
a rare event (say once in 100 years) is exceeded by the construction
cost of additional drainage capacity.
Usually, developers finance storm drainage facilities as a part of
the overall land improvement.- However, some municipalities
participate on a joint basis after the construction cost of bridges
and culverts exceed a certain level. In this instance, Nederland
.__. should plan for a capital improvement expenditure where it is
necessary to solve existing problems, and developers should pro-
"` -vide adequate storm drainage as part of the utility service for
undeveloped land.
EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The City of Nederland, as indicated on the Existing and Proposed
Storm Drainage System Map at the end of this Chapter, experiences
an elevation variance from six feet above sea level to twenty feet
above sea level as well as general topographic features which are
consistent with a majority of the Texas Gulf Coast. In addition,
the gentle sloping terrain of Nederland with the slope normally
being approximately two feet per thousand feet, presents unusual
difficulty in drainage during high intensity rainfalls which are
also common to coastal areas.- These factors as outlined have
influenced area residents into taking aggressive action, function-
ing through their area elected officials, in providing excellent
drainage facilities in highly developed areas of the City. The
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
results of such resident action concerning all the existing storm
sewer and major drainage ditches are illustrated on the accompany-
ing Drainage System Map,
The Storm Drainage System Map also illustrates the significant
drainage areas as established by the Jefferson County Drainage
District No. 7, which is a County tax supported agency that
provides "major" drainage facilities for the Southerly section of
Jefferson County. The definition of "major" drainage facilities
has not been specific, however, a large degree of coordination
and cooperation has been experienced. Control of influent for
the Drainage District No. 7 facilities is exercised by the agency
which permits review of improvements, resulting in an effort that
provides maximum benefit from all available sources and conditions.
Drainage problems that are currently being encountered originate
from the tide water system which is experienced in areas (1) Main
"B" Area and (2) Main "C" Area. (See accompanying Drainage
System Map, Drainage Areas 1 and 2 respectively). Extensive
improvements are currently under construction which, when com-
pleted, will lower present water surface from two to four feet,
providing additional outfoll capacity and enabling additional
internal improvements after completion of hurricane protection
facilities. Concrete lined ditches for major outfall ditches, not
subject to tide water level, is the usual facility utilized. Lined
sections are normally placed in right-of-way or easements which
provide sufficient allowance for maintenance, with typical section
for these facilities consisting of a bottom width of four feet, a
depth of four feet and side slopes of one and one-half to one.
Continual improvements of such facilities have been provided by
the City, Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7, and on major
thoroughfares (Highways and Streets) by the Texas Highway Depart-
ment.
Internal drainage is provided, generally, by surface drainage (open
road side d'otches) in accordance with the master drainage plan pre-
pared and delivered to the City in 1958 with modifications, and as
required to deliver surface drainage to specific outfall channel.
Further improvements, beyond surface drainage, exist in areas
where street improvements employed the use of curb and gutter
sections and where the depth of road side ditches have exceeded
depths that can be mowed and/or stabilized to prevent fall off of
the road shoulders due to steep side slopes. The Drainage System
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
Map illustrates the drainage channels and conduit lines (storm sewer)
and sizes. However, due to the large number of inlet types it is con—
sidered virtually impossible to delineate with clarity each of the
inlets on a small scale map. Therefore, Table 4 at the end of this
section has been developed outlining all inlet opening leads and
stub sizes.
FUTURE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Proposed drainage improvements will consist of those facilities
requiring further improvement of outfoll channels which are under
the direction of and the responsibility of Jefferson County Drainage
District No. 7. The criteria utilized for these improvements are in
accordance with Charts 2 and 3 furnished by the District titled
"Drainage Area vs. Discharge Curves" and "Area —Discharge Curve"
respectively, however, these criteria are subject to change in
accordance with the wishes of Jefferson County Drainage District
No. 7.
-...Proposed storm sewer requirements are outlined on the Existing and
Proposed Storm Drainage Map at the end of this Chapter for areas
desiring further improvements. Criteria for specific priority of
individual units of improvement are necessary so that coordination
with general area improvements as established from overall City
needs, area effects, and fiscal capabilities can be achieved. The
criteria utilized for storm sewer design are shown on Chart 4 which
requires very specific areas be developed from detailed field surveys
and investigation, be applied to each segment of storm sewer. The
design curve which follows and the standard inlets specifications
which are shown at the end of this section (See Appendix) provide
the current basis for design.
Open ditch drainage, as designed by current criteria, provides for
a runoff of 1 C.F.S. per acre, with culvert sizes established using
a velocity of four (4) F.P.S. Past experience with these criteria
have provided desirable qualities. A ditch grade of 0.209/6 is very
desirable and can usually be obtained, but occasionally requires
short sections of storm sewer. Sections of ditch requiringcontinuous
runs of pipe in excess of thirty feet cannot be "sized" on the culvert
design basis without ponding upstream areas.

Conclusion: General area improvements include, on a priority
basis, engineering studies for the open ditch master
plan, implementation of the open ditch plan, engineering studies
for areas requiring storm sewers, a construction schedule for prob-
lem areas, engineering studies for the storm sewer master plan and
eventual construction of the drainage system. All construction will
be in accordance with the major outfall facility improvements as
provided by Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7, which is
limited to allocations from tax receipts and bond issues approved
by area citizens, and not limited specifically to residents of the
City of Nederland, Texas.
This report is not intended to provide Engineering details sufficient
for providing functional drainage of any specific area. Detailed
studies (field and office) and a great amount of coordination with
Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7 will be required to effectively
implement specific area drainage in each outlined contributing area.
Field work is extremely important in producing existing topographic
features which are a basic need especially in flat country. Acceptable
supplements to field work are aerial photos, but these should not be
used as a substitute for on ground investigations. Therefore, this
report, or study, is to provide a basis for much further detailed and
specific evaluations subsequent to implementing on ground activities
for alleviation of drainage problems,

MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
SOLID The problem of solid waste generation and disposal is one that has been
WASTE in existence since the creation of man. In man's earlier civilizations
the problem of solid waste disposal was not so ominous as it is in today's
modern industrialized societies. However, one should not take this to
mean that man hod no problem of solid waste disposal in past centuries.
Even when men lived in caves, the problem of soled waste was a nui-
sance, if only a minor inconvenience compared to his daily struggle
for survival. The solutions, however, have become more complicated
as the world population has increased. The generation of solid waste,
directly related to population, has increased accordingly, with result-
ant health hazards and adverse environmental consequences. The quest
to solve the problems of solid waste has evolved into anew technology,
with the mobilization of both the educational and industrial institutions
of the United States, in an effort to obtain practical solutions to this
pressing problem.
Solid Waste Management can be considered in two broad categories
of (1) collection, and (2) disposal. The collection category includes
the collection of solid waste from individual homes and commercial
enterprises as well as from apartment complexes all over the City and
transporting it to a disposal site. The disposal category includes the
permanent disposal of the solid waste material at the disposal location.
A discussion of existing operations in each of these areas will follow.
EXISTING COLLECTION OPERATIONS
�w.
The following discussion of the City of Nederland's existing collection
operations has been divided into two categories (1) garbage services
n.. and (2) trash and rubbish services. It is presented this way so that a
broader picture of both services might be obtained even though the
results achieved by these services are the same. ,
Garbage Services:
The City of Nederland presently services approximately 5,000 dwell-
ing units and 260 commercial establishments. -Garbage collection
service is provided twice weekly to the dwelling units with daily
service being provided to the commercial activities. To achieve
this particular type of service, the City has been divided into two
general route zones with Nederland Avenue being the East-West
.._ dividing line from North 1st Street and Texas Avenue to the
Beaumont -Port Arthur Highway between the zones. Each of these
zones have been further divided into three sub -districts which
reflects the number of collection trucks the City operates for such
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
pick-ups. With this zonal division, the trucks are able to meet the
following collection schedule:
Zones Residential Commercial
1 - (South of Monday 8
Nederland Avenue) Thursday Daily
2 - (North of Tuesday 8
Nederland Avenue) Friday Daily
The equipment used for garbage collection consists of three 20 cubic
yard rear loading packer trucks, all with two-way radio equipment.
All three trucks are utilized for both residential and commercial
collections, however, one truck is relieved from residential col-
lections on Wednesdays to handle commercial collections for the
total City. The City is able to achieve this additional scheduling
by having one small sub -district within each zone and the person-
nel of two of the trucks working 10 hours a day, four days per week
while the other truck personnel work 8 hours a day, five days per
week. There are a total of nine full-time employees, three per
truck; one relief person; and the Foreman, who spends fifty percent
of his work time in collections, responsible for garbage service.
Presently, Gty Ordinance 35 requires that aIB residential kitchen
garbage and refuse be placed into a receptacle constructed of gal-
vanized iron, tin or other suitable material, with two handles and
a tight fitting cover of a capacity not less than five gallons nor
over thirty gallons with the weight of the Can not exceeding 100
pounds. The ordinance also requires that all such garbage must be
inside the property fine at the edge of the street for collection.
Ordinance 155, as amended, permits commercial activities to
utilize garbage Containers upon the activities request, however,
the City will own and have the responsibility for maintaining and
replacing such Containers. Customers are also not required to
separate and wrap their garbage.
Ordinance 155, as amended, also lists the rates per unit to be
charged and collected from all customers obtaining service from
the City of Nederland. The following two tables list the (1)
garbage service deposits required for garbage only, and (2) gar -
bate rates charged each activity type for garbage collection
services.

Trash and Rubbish Services:'
This particular type of collection service is provided to the some num-
ber of customers as above at no additional service charge. However,
to obtain this service at no charge, trash must be cut into lengths of
less than four feet and placed into boxes or bundles (not required to
be tied) inside the property at the edge of the street for collection
in accordance with Ordinance 35. Ordinance 35 further states that
places of wholesale accumulations such as killing and dressing plants
for fowl, wholesale fruit and vegetable houses, storage as well as
-other places where the daily accumulation of kitchen garbage, trash
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
and rubbish is more than the ordinary quantities are not included in the
service furnished by the City. The ordinance also emphasizes that such
things as heavy dead animals, heavy accumulations such as brick,
broken concrete, lumber, automobile frames, and other similar bulky,
heavy materials, large quantities of manure, and waste oils from garages
or filling stations may not be included in the services furnished by the
City. However, such items as above are not permitted to accumulate
and must be disposed of at the expense of the parties responsible.
Trash collection service is provided once per month with the collection
process based on zonal divisions. The present trash collection policy
and zone identifications are outlined below:
Zone-1: From Port Neches' City L'emits at 1st Street to Twin City
Highway; first full week of each month, therefore, the
week in which the 1st Monday falls.
Zone-2: From Twin City Highway to 27th Street and from Canal
Avenue to Nederland Avenue; second week of each
month .
Zone-3: From
Twin City
Highway to
27th
Street and from Neder-
land
Avenue to
F.M. 365;
third
week of each month.
Zone-4: From 27th Street to U.S. 69 and from Canal Street to
F.M. 365; fourth week of each month.
Other: Fifth week - Miscellaneous clean-up.
The equipment utilized for trash collection includes one flat bed metal
body truck with a rotoboom on top and one straight flat bed metal body
truck. The latter truck is used as the reserve vehicle while the former
has the only two-way radio. Handling this operation are two full-
time employees and two part-time employees who work only one day
per week at this municipal service.
EXBSTING DISPOSAL OPERATIONS
The disposal method utilized by the City of Nederland is a sanitary
landfill. This landfill known as the Mid -County Municipal League
Sanitary Landfill is located approximately one mile northwest of the
City limits along State Highway 347 (Twin City Highway). The site
contains approximately 55 acres of land which was placed in oper-
ation in 1970 through a lease arrangement with Sun Oil Company.
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
A second agreement which is also in operation is between Nederland
and five other mid -county municipalities which together have formed
what is known as the Mid -County Municipal League. This Municipal
League which includes not only Nederland but Port Neches, Groves,
Lakeview, Griffing Park and Pear Ridge as well, share in the land-
fill's operating expenditures at a current rate of $0.50 per customer
per month obtained from each City's general fund account. Under
this agreement, Nederland has the responsibility for managing and
operating the landfill and because of this, the City is permitted to
receive in return fifteen percent of the landfill's annual income for
such responsibility. Table 7 outlines all incomes and expenditures
concerning the landfill for the past three years.
The present method of landfilling utilized is the ramp method with
progressive cell depths of approximately 7 to 8 feet. In this method
(which actually is a variation of the area and trench landfill methods),
solid wastes are dumped on the side of an existing slope. After spread-
ing the material in thin layers on the slope, the bulldozer compacts it.
The cover material which is placed just ahead of the working face is
spread on the ramp or slope and compacted. The major advantages of
this landfilling method are that only one piece of equipment is required
to perform all operations which makes the method particularly oppli-
cable to smaller operations, and that the method is best suited for
marshes, flat areas, or gently sloping land, like presently exists. The
cover material presently utilized in this method is obtained from B & B
Auto Supply of Nederland at $2,800 per month for 100 loads which is
1,400 cubic yards at $2.00 per cubic yard.
Equipment at the landfill consists of a five year old Bulldozer with a
landfill blade owned by the City of Nederland. which is used for both
packing and covering operations. There is one full-time Nederland
employee at the site who is in charge of operating the Bulldozer.
He works nine hours per day, five days per week. There are also
three part-time guards at the site working four hours per day each,
five days per week.
Due to the contractual time limitations as well as the contractual
objectives, the City of Nederland was the only municipality within
the Mid -County Municipal League for which present solid waste
volume amounts were obtained. Even volume amounts for Nederland
were somewhat difficult to obtain, since the City maintains no exact
records of solid waste hauled by their packer or open bed trucks as
well as the quantities and characteristics of such waste. However,

it was presently estimated that a total volume of approximately 4,450
cubic yards per week of garbage and trash is transported to the land-
fill site. Of this total, approximately 2,200 cubic yards is garbage
with about 86% of this being residential refuse. It was determined
that approximately 80% of the trash and rubbish transported to the
landfill site was small tree branches. Taking the above approximated
weekly volume total and projecting it to obtain an annual volume
total, it was determined that the City of Nederland for 1974 will
have disposed of approximately 231,400 cubic yards of solid waste.
Comparing this volume amount with the City's 1971 yearly disposal
amount of 62,000 cubic yords,l a solid waste increase of 169,400
cubic yards was reflected at an annual increase rate of about 41%.
This rapid waste increase can be more readily observed in the cubic
yards per person rates of 3.69 and 13.04 for 1971 and 1974 respec-
tively.
As mentioned above, the City of Nederland as part of the Mid -County
Municipal League charges a flat rate of $0.50 per customer per month
obtained from their garbage fund to assist in operating the sanitary
landfill site. However, this rate is only based on City customers and
then only for normal City disposal. For disposal of large quantities
of solid waste, for customers outside the City limits of Nederland
excluding the other League Cities, and for private operators,
Nederland requires such sanitary landfill users to obtain disposal
permits. The following table which is used as a guideline lists the
present permit rates charged by Nederland for use of the landfill by
the above mentioned customers.

FUTURE DISPOSAL OPERATIONS
As stated earlier, the present Iandfil9 site covers approximately 55 acres,
however, only about fifteen of this total acreage has been used for solid
waste disposal since the site was placed into operation in 1970. This
means that on an average three acres per year of the site has been
utilized for waste disposal. By extending this average per year acre-
age usage through the Planning Period as well as stabilizing the pre-
sent population of approximately 63,750 served by the landfill through
the same period, the present sanitary landfill site can anticipate a
life expectancy process of another thirteen years. However, this
landfill life expectancy process presents two pertinent problems.
The first and foremost is that an area such as the Mid -Jefferson
County area with its extremely good economic potential will gen-
erally not have a stable population, and this area is no exception.
It is estimated that the Mid -County Municipal League's served popu-
lation will increase over the next twenty years to approximately
104,000 people.2 This is an increase of about 38.7 percent over
the present day figure. The City of Nederland's growth will reflect
the majority of this increase with about 53%. The second area of
2Source: Estimate based on the Consultants and South East Texas Regional
Planning Commission's population projections for the jurisdictions
within the Mid -County Municipal League.
1-54
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
concern is based primarily upon the above population estimate which
is the additional disposal area required to adequately serve this future
population.
To assist in determining the approximate amount of additional land area
needed, the guideline formula of approximately one acre per year per
-10,000 population is suggested. - By utilizing this formula, a sanitary
landfill site of approximately 177 acres will be required to adequately
serve the above population estimate by the end of the Planning Period.
This is an additional 137 acres over the existing acreage after reducing
the present amount by 15 acres.
At first glance, one might think that the above amount of required acre-
age by the end of the Planning Period is completely absurd since the
present acreage usage rate is only three per year. However, if one
were to review past and present disposal rates and then project them
twenty years into the future, the acreage increase might be more
realistic and acceptable. In the following discussion, the Consultants
have done just that, however, it should be pointed out that the infor-
motion utilized is at best just average.
Earlier in this Chapter, it was pointed out that Nederland's solid waste
from 1971 through 1974 had increased 41% per year or at an annual
cubic yard rate of about 42,350. Using this annual increase rate as
a standard and projecting it through to the end of the Planning Period,
on estimated annual solid waste volume for Nederland in cubic yards
can be established. Once obtaining Nederland's future solid waste
volumes, the City's annual projected population growth percentage
(based on each year's Mid -County Municipal League's total pro-
lected population) is applied to this future volume to obtain an
annual estimated cubic yard total of solid waste for the Mid -County
Municipal League. Using this annual estimated cubic yardage total
and then applying the present solid waste cubic yard per acre total
of 209,100 for the combined municipalities to it, an annual disposal
acreage usage requirement figure may be obtained.
By applying this process, it was determined that by the end of the
Planning Period the City of Nederland will have to dispose of an
estimated annual solid waste volume of 1,078,400 cubic yards.
'This is equivalent to 27.65 cubic yards of solid waste per person
or a total volume increase of 847,000 cubic yards over the present
volume figure. The Mid -County Municipal League solid waste
volume total during the same period will increase to approximately
2,875,733 cubic yards. This is an overall increase of approximately
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
2,248,633 cubic yards or about 789/o over existing estimates. By the
end of the Planning Period, it is estimated that it will require 13.8
acres per year to dispose of the League's generated solid waste. By
projecting the figures obtained utilizing the above process to the
end of the Planning Period, a required sanitary landfill site of about
177 acres was determined. This is an additional 137 acres over the
existing acreage after reducing the present amount by 15 acres.
After reviewing all the information which was available, realizing
that some of it might be questionable, as well as analyzing the local
environment, it is believed that out of the two projecting processes
presented above, even though both processes utilized resulted in the
same number of acres required by the end of the Planning Period, the
latter of the two reflects a more realistic disposal acreage rate mea-
surement for achieving the future disposal site demands (See Table
9).
To meet any of the above or other future acreage requirements for
solid waste disposal by the end of the Planning Period, additional
landfill site area will definitely be required. However, if solid
waste volumes increase at the pace as presented in the latter gen-
eration process above, the present sanitary landfill capacity will
be utilized by 1980. Therefore, by mid-1978 consideration should
be given to seeking a new landfill site location or adding to the
present site. In reviewing future site locations, such information as
terrain, wind direction, flooding, site access, method of landfilling
to be used, costs, including land, transportation and operation, as
well as public opinion should definitely be considered. After anal-
yzing all this information as it affects Nederland's environment, the
Consultants believe that utilizing the present sanitary landfill site
and adding to it as needs dictate would be the most feasible and
economical process to follow.
As the Mid -County Municipal League's population and solid waste
volumes grow, and as the present landfill site equipment ages, the
need for new and/or additional equipment will become a necessity.
However, it is presently impractical, if not impossible, to deter-
mine exactly what number, type, and kind of equipment will be
needed, particularly by the end of the Planning Period. With this
in mind, the following equipment guideline table has been provided
to assist in determining future equipment requirements.

FUTURE COLLECTION OPERATIONS
The trend in the management of solid waste collection operations is
toward mechanization of the operation and the utilization of the
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
customer assistance as much as possible. The reason for this is due
to the following:
1 . Labor costs are accelerating and the need to economize on the
collection operation dictates the elimination of as much labor
in the system as possible.
2. The growing volumes of solid waste to be collected as reflected
by the volume per population ratios.
.., 3. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain workers to fill the
menial task of garbage collection. High employee turnover
rates are common which results in a poor level of service.
At present, the City of Nederland has a very efficient and low costing
collection system as compared to cities of similar size and population.
;... However, as the City grows and extends its boundaries, the present
system could soon become the reverse. With annexation by Nederland
being a definite possibility over the next twenty years, (See Annexa-
tion Program Chapter), thought should be given to some or all of the
following questions:
-._ 1. How many more potential dwelling units and commercial establish-
ments will be required to be served?
2. What types of industry,if any, will be needed to be served?
What will be their solid waste volume amounts as well as the
waste's characteristics?
3. What new routing system, if any, will be required to cover the
extended service areas?
4. What method of collection should be used?
5. How many more employees and pieces of equipment will be re-
quired to service these extended areas?
-- 6. How much will it cost to continuously maintain an efficient
collection system while providing it at the lowest possible cost
to the customer?
Before a response to the above questions and possibly more can be
made, an analysis of existing collection operations would be in order.
It was stated earlier that approximately 5,000 dwelling units and 260

commercial establishments are presently being served by the City of
Nederland. To ascertain approximately how many structures were
presently being served by each truck per day, a count was made of
all existing residential and commercial structures within each truck
collection zone. The following table lists the results of this inventory
for each truck. However, it should be pointed out that the table
reflects only garbage collection service.

As can be observed from Table 11, Trucks 61 and 63 handle well over
the majority of the residential collections or about seventy-seven per-
cent. With further observation, it can be seen that each of these
trucks on the average serve approximately 960 dwelling units per day.
Since each truck has three employees assigned who work 10 hours per
day, an average residential units count per man-hour of 32.00 was
obtainable. However, this units per man-hour count is not necessarily
true since other variables such as daily commercial collections, trans-
porting time and actual dwelling unit collection time based on the
collection method utilized is not actually incorporated into the count
total. In a recent workweek study conducted by the City of Neder-
land to determine what method of collection operation should be
utilized, it was shown that a large service area such as the trucks
presently serve would undoubtedly require an additional two hours
of overtime per truck per 10 hour day. By applying these situations
to the average dwelling unit per day count, a residential units per
man-hour figure of 26.67 was obtained. This is believed to be a
more accurate hourly figure than was previously determined.
IISi]
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
The third truck which plays more or less a dual role in the City's
collection operations is responsible for handling the remaining twenty-
three percent of the residential collections. This reflects an average
number of collections of about 580 dwelling units per day. Since this
truck with its three employees only work 8 hours per day, an average
residential units per man-hour figure of 24.34 was obtained. Here
again, the previously mentioned situations are not adequately taken
into consideration and when such is done, a more accurate figure of
21.34 residential units per man-hour is achieved. This particular
truck is also responsible for collecting all commercial garbage on
Wednesdays.
In light of possible annexation by the City of Nederland as well as
the City's development potential as reflected in the Proposed Land
Use Plan, even within just the present City limits, expansion of the
existing collection operations will be a necessity. To assist the City
in meeting these future obligations, the following table of four pos-
sible collection operation alternatives has been developed. Each
alternative assumes that all residential garbage is required to be
bagged in plastic bags and placed at curb side. The figures utilized
by the Consultants in the structures served per day per truck were
derived from the existing number of structures served per day for
..... which a truck could handle efficiently and effectively. It should
also be noted at this time that all four alternatives are based on the
ultimate growth potential for Nederland as proposed in the Future
Land Use Plan as well as the City annexing all its presently exist-
ing extraterritorial jurisdictional area as proposed in the Annexation
Program Chapter,
From the figures listed on Table 12 , it can be seen that much greater
efficiency and thus lower collection costs could potentially be achieved
ultimately (1) with a collection policy of bagging garbage and placing
it at curb side, and (2) by the utilization of mechanized procedures.
It is recommended that the City of Nederland consider a two-step
_-= approach for maintaining an efficient and even possibly improving
their solid waste collection operation as the City develops. First,
the City should continue utilizing their existing collection operation
method, but start interjecting improvements into it based on Alternative
one. For a long range solution, the City at some future point in time,
say within ten years, should investigate the possibility of undertaking
Alternative three which could be as much as ten times more efficient
as the present or other similar operations.

SUMMARY
The solid waste inventory and study produced the following recom-
mendations•.
1 .
Present sanitary landfill capacity will be utilized by 1980.
Work should be initiated by mid-1978 to obtain additional
landfill area at the present site location.
2.
The present collection system is efficient and economical,
however, this system could be improved by requiring City-
wide that garbage be placed in plastic bags.
3.
As the City grows, the present collection system could become
quite inefficient and costly. Consideration should be given
during the annexation process as to how the system would be
updated. Considering the long-term circumstances, plans
should be made to mechanize the system to the maximum
extent possible.
4.
Consideration should be given to providing means for weigh-
ing all solid waste disposed of at the landfill site.
5.
More complete and exact monthly records of solid waste
generated by the City should be maintained.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
INTRODUCTION - It is virtually every city's responsibility to provide certain facilities
and services for the benefit of its citizens. _ One such type of facility
concerns public buildings.
Public buildings represent those structures housing functions of general
public service, such as general administrative service offices or City
Hall, police stations, fire stations, libraries, community recreational/
meeting centers, service centers, health facilities and even maintenance
and storage facilities for the repair, service and storage of City vehicles
and equipment. Other structures are also included in the category such
as publically owned theaters, museums, concert halls and other various
civic and cultural centers.
_ The requirements for these various types of public buildings are deter-
mined by the size, use, composition, administrative needs and the
services required by the population of the City of Nederland. The
buildings themselves as previously stated, consist of all structures
built to house the various services and governmental functions pro-
""` vided for the community by the local government. It is essential to
the safety of the community that the best possible fire and police pro-
tection be provided. This coverage is determined by the adequacy of
the physical plant, equipment, and staff and is governed to a great
extent by the location of each of the facilities. It is also essential
that facilities are provided for the administration of the City in order
that the most efficient operation of the City's management, taxation,
utilities, protection, and other departmental services can accommo-
date a sufficient staff to properly serve the citizens.
It is desirable to locate within the City, certain recreational structures
such as community recreation buildings, park pavilions, and community
auditoriums for the pleasure, entertainment, and civic organizational
interest of the citizens. Such facilities offer meeting places, indoor
recreation, and instructional facilities for the people of the area in
which they are located. In the following text these public facilities
will be discussed as to their location, and the area they should serve.
Principle emphasis is placed on municipally owned structures for the
purpose of this report even though a couple of privately owned struc-
tunes are briefly discussed since they serve the general public of the
Nederland area.
PLANNING:..- There are several published guidelines available by which to plan
STANDARDS for public buildings. Where published standards do not exist, ac-
cepted criteria may be utilized as general rules of thumb. The
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
basic goal is to provide the necessary physical facilities so that ade-
quate service can be provided to the citizens. The three most critical
areas of concern to cite examples, is space for City Nall activities,
police protection and fire protection service and facilities. Some of
the guidelines used for evaluating public buildings are presented below.
They must not be thought of as rigid formulas to be applied without
regard to specific conditions. Their prime purpose is to provide a
reference base from which plans and decisions may develop.
PUBLIC For the most part, the following public building standards have been
BUILDING restated from Nederland's Phase I Comprehensive Plan Report, how -
STANDARDS ever, there are revisions reflected below to the prior stated standards
since more acceptable guidelines have been published since the first
report.
City Hall Complex
Location: Central City near or on major street; needs good access.
Service Area: All the City.
Site Size: 1 acre minimum, if separate from police and fire station.
2.5 acres minimum, if police and fire station are included.
Floor Space: 0.5 square feet per capita, if separate from police and
fire stations. 2.0 square feet per capita if police and
fire stations are included.
Parking: 1 parking space per every 250 square feet of floor space.
Source: Consultants.
Fire Station
Location: Central City with good access to major streets.
Service Area: 1-2 mile radius depending upon size of City, type of
equipment, traffic conditions, and the general terrain
within the service area.
Site Size: Adequate to house fire equipment and men. General lay-
out of station should center around apparatus room so floor
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
area required greatly depends on the amount of equipment to
be housed. As an example of equipment floor area, the
following are presented:
Pumper minimum floor area: 16 X 32 feet
Ladder Truck minimum floor area: 20 X 50 feet
Aerial Ladder minimum floor area: 20 X 75 feet
Minimum ceiling height: 12 feet
Minimum door width of 12 feet and installed so that each
piece of equipment has direct access to streets. Recom-
mend to use overhead doors, electrically operated supple-
mented by a manual control system.
Equipment: 1.5 fire vehicles per 1,000 population plus emergency
equipment or:
Less than 10,000 population city: 1 pumper company.
10,000 population city: 2 pumpers and 1 ladder company.
^" 30,000 population city: 4 pumper and 2 truck companies.
70,000 population city: 8 pumper companies and 4 trucks.
Parking: 1.5 spaces per each staff member.

Police Station
Location: Central City with good access to major streets.
Service Area: All the City.
Site Size: 1 acre minimum, if separate from City Hall. If included in
City Hall, it should have a separate side entrance.
Floor Space: Adequate size for housing two holding cells and other
cells if desired, interrogation rooms, office space,
patch room, records room, several storage rooms, kitch-
en, etc. Number and size of the above spaces should
be based on the following floor space per population
formula:
Less than 7,000 population city: 600 square feet per
1,000 population.
15,000 population city: 400 square feet per 1,000
population.

EXISTING The following is a brief inventory of the existing public buildings in
PUBLIC the City of Nederland. It is necessary to examine the condition and
BUILDING use of these structures as they influence future planning for new
INVENTORY facilities.
City Hall Complex: This facility is a single story brownish black brick
structure located at the corner of North 14th
Street and Boston Avenue. It is situated on a 300 foot by 140 foot
lot. This is 42,000 square feet or about a 0.96 acre site. Immedi-
ately adjacent (North) of this site along North 14th Street is the
Municipal Complex's paved parking facility on a 140 foot by 90
foot or 12,600 square foot lot. The parking facility provides approx-
imately 49 spaces for both city employees and the general public.
The total complex site is 54,600 square feet or about 1.25 acres.
The Complex contains approximately 14,755 square feet. The ser-
vices contained within the Complex include City Hall, Fire Station,
Police Station and Water Office. The Complex is in excellent
structural condition both internally and externally. The Complex
is equipped with heating and air conditioning except within the
fire station's bay areas where only heating is provided. Access to
the Complex from all directions particularly by no one-way streets
is uninterrupted. On -street angular parking spaces for approximately
12 vehicles are provided in front of the Complex along Boston Avenue
in addition to the parking lot. The present location of this facility
with its various general municipal service functions creates no adverse
effects on surrounding property. In fact, the location of this munici-
pal facility within the Central Business District helps to stabilize the
business area as well as increase surrounding property values.
City Hall: This facility was built in 1969 as a continuation of the
build'mng housing the Fire Department and Police Depart-
ment. The building contains approximately 10,240 square feet of
floor area. Present usage of the building includes offices for the
Mayor, City Manager, City Secretary, City Finance Director, City
Public Works Director, three clerical workers, tax office, and City
Inspections Department. Two other office areas are also provided
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
within City Hall for the Police Department and Water Department. The
building also has a lobby and Council room.- The Council room contains
approximately 1,620 square feet with a seating capacity for about 100
people comfortably. The building has extremely good spacial arrange-
ment and adequate storage space.
Water Office: This office is within the City Hall building and utilizes
approximately 748 square feet of the total City Hall
floor area. It is assigned one full time employee who is assisted by
other City Hall employees.
Fire Station: This facility was constructed in 1958 and is located on
the City Hal Complex site as previously mentioned. The
Fire Station contains approximately 4,200 square feet of floor space.
There are six bays within the vehicle garage area containing a total
floor area of about 3,465 square feet. The doors to each of the six
bays are 12 feet by 12 feet and are operated electrically with a
manual back-up system. Adjoining the garage area is the Chief's
office, radio room, bedroom area for eight and kitchenette, all con-
taining a total of approximately 735 square feet. The garage is only
heated while the other remaining areas have heating and air condi-
tioning. There are eight full-time employees including the Fire
Chief and Deputy Fire Chief. There are approximately 20 volunteer
firemen which utilize this facility when the need dictates. Located
at the station is the following equipment: three 750 pumpers, one
_ pick-up, and one automobile. At present the Fire Department can
respond to any service call within the City of Nederland within three
minutes. This meets the responding time standards established by the
State Board, of Fire Insurance.
Police Station: This facility is located at the rear of the Fire Station
along North 14th Street and was constructed as a part
thereof in 1958. The Police Department has approximately 758 square
feet of total floor space of which only 315 square feet is adjoining the
Fire Station and contains the Police Chief's office and a combination
interrogation and patrolman service room. The remaining departmental
floor area (443 square feet) is located within City Hall. This floor
area is utilized by a secretary and four dispatchers. The dispatchers
receive and transmit calls for the following five Mid -County area
Cities: Nederland, Port Neches, Groves, Griffing Park and Pear
Ridge. The Department has no minimum detention facilities; so at
present all prisoners must be transported to the County jail facilities
in Port Arthur. There are approximately 11 full-time employees, not
including the four school guards that work in and out of the Depart-
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
ment in different shifts. The Department operates five patrol cars with
two-way radios, all linked with the Sheriff's Department, Highway
Patrol, and Fire Station. Since the Department is housed within the
City Hall Complex, it has heating and air-conditioning. There are
approximately seven off-street parking spaces along North 14th Street
in addition to the Complex's 49 spaces for use by the Department.
City Service Center Complex: The Complex is located at the corner
of Avenue E and South 33rd Street and
is situated on a 14.7 acre parcel of land. The buildings and facilities
contained within the Complex acreage include the City Service Cen-
ter, Dog Pound, Sewage Treatment Plant, Old Maintenance Ware-
houses and several recreational facilities. The Complex serves as the
maintenance, service and storage headquarters for City vehicles and
equipment. The Complex is also totally fenced off, except for the
recreational facilities and the public parking facilities, by a six foot
chain -link fence. The parking facility provides approximately 100
unmarked parking spaces for both City employees and the general
public. The majority of the facility is unpaved and is in fair condi-
tion. Access to the Complex is good. The present location of this
facility with its various municipal maintenance, service, and storage
functions creates no damaging effects on surrounding properties. How-
ever, under certain conditions this facility could cause some environ-
mental problems namely noise and smell, but only to a very minor
extent.

condition and has a six foot chain -link fence around it. The struc-
ture is in good condition both externally and internally and is equipped
with heating and air-conditioning. Access to the facility is good.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
This structure at its present location could effect the surrounding
residential properties in two ways --aesthetics and through property
values. However, the most damaging effect to the surrounding prop-
erties may not necessarily be the structure, but rather the nature of the
facility itself, even though, the type of construction of the structure is
converse to that of surrounding buildings.
Nederland (City -County) Library: This rracility is Eocated on an
18,000 square foot lot at 1903
Atlanta Avenue. The structure contains approximately 2,000 square

structure located at 1516 Boston Avenue.
The structure was erected in 1969 as an exact replica of a Dutch Wind-
mill in tribute to the heritage of Nederland, settled by immigrants from
Holland in 1898, however, the artifacts in the building represent many
nationalities including the oldest artifact, a French piroque (canoe)
hollowed out of a log in Louisiana. The piroque is over 100 years old.
The Texas State Historical Survey Committee erected an historical
marker on the site. A marker honoring War Veterans is also on the
site. The structure is situated on a 215 foot by 154 foot lot. This is
a 33,110 square foot or about a 0.76 acre site. The building con-
tains approximately 860 square feet of floor space and has two part-
time employees plus a student two days per week. The building is
heated and air-conditioned and the windmill blades turn by electric
motor. The structure is in excellent condition both externally and
internally. There are approximately 14 marked angular parking
spaces along Boston Avenue which provides good vehicular access
to the facility. This structure creates no adverse effects on surround-
ing property.
La Maison Des Acdiens (The French House): This structure is presently
under construction on the

PUBLIC The following are discussions and summaries of recommendations, as presented
BUILDINGS on the Public Buildings Plan Map, which are deemed necessary to adequately
PLAN serve the projected future population of Nederland.
Governmental Complex: This proposed unit is illustrated on the Public
Buildings Plan Map located at the end of this
Chapter. The site proposed by the Consultants for this facility is located
at the some site as the existing Complex. However for the City to serve
its expected population growth more efficiently during the Planning Period,
it is further proposed that the City acquire some additional land area
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
immediately behind the existing Complex. This would require the acquisition
-- of some three or more dwelling units along Chicago Avenue. With this in
mind, the Consultants suggest that the City consider such acquisition action
within the near future, since land values, particularly within the central
- city areas, have increased at a tremendous pace over the past several years.
So by acquiring the land "sooner" than "later", the City could undoubtedly
save its citizens some money which could then be spent on other needed
- public facilities and services.
The Governmental Complex as proposed would continue to contain all the
-- existing City offices and services that are within the present day Complex
with some exceptions. The first exception would be the construction of a
brand new Police Station facility, similar to that under consideration pre-
" sently by the City. Such a facility should be constructed so that existing
physical problem areas would be eliminated with future space requirements
planned or provided to meet expected growth. Such a facility should also
-- be kept completely separate, if at all possible, from other general government
operations, particularly City Hall. However, if complete separation is not
possible or economical, a separate entrance and exit areas should definitely
be provided, particularly where prisoners are involved. With the above in
mind, the Consultants recommend that this facility be ultimately located on
the land proposed for acquisition with the front of the facility facing North
15th Street.
,.w The second exception would be the construction and location of the new
Library facility also under consideration presently by the City. Here again,
the construction of such a new facility would hopefully eliminate the existing
physical problems as well as provide future floor space. By locating the new
Library within the proposed Governmental Complex, it brings this "service
;._ organization" to a large activity center area where it will be accessible to
the largest number of potential readers and information seekers. The above
philosophy has been futher emphasized and reaffirmed by Charles A. Mohrharte
and Ralph A. Ulveling in an Architectural Record article concerning Public
Libraries which stated: "A prominent, easily accessible location is required to
attract a large number of persons. Therefore the library should be placed where
people naturally converge -in the heart of the shopping and business district,
rather than in a remote location such as a park, civic center or quiet side
street." With the above in mind, the Consultants recommend that the new
Library structure be located on the vacant municipally owned land presently
abutting (west) the City Hall portion of the existing Complex with the front
of the structure is recommended since it will provide the greatest amount of
accessibility for its users as well as being readily noticeable.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
In addition to those facilities provided for above, the proposed Gov-
ernmental Complex site will also need to provide some additional
parking facilities. At present, there are some 70 on and off-street
parking spaces available at the existing Complex site. However,
to meet the expected population growth for Nederland by the end
of the Planning Period, it is believed that an additional 75 off-
street parking spaces will be required.
City Hall: This facility is presently large enough to serve the exist-
ing City population adequately. However, by 1984 and
1994 the present City Hall structure will become inadequate and
require approximately 2,875 and 6,385 additional square feet of
floor space respectively. This is a total increase of about 47.5% or
9,260 square feet of floor area over the existing figure of 10,240.
The above floor area estimates could vary to some extent, however,
the Consultants believe the estimates are well within the required
floor space needed to adequately serve the projected population of
Nederland during the Planning Period,
Police Department: The existing facility is presently inadequate
and overcrowded. Once the additional land
area is acquired, as proposed above, it is recommended that a new
Police Station be constructed on it. The Consultants believe that
this point cannot be over stressed and that such acquisition and con-
struction should be placed at the top of the City's priority list of
activities. Due to the existing facility's physical size, it presently
needs an additional 6,640 square feet of floor space as well as 12
additional patrolmen to serve the existing City population. By the
end of the Planning Period, the Department will need a total of
11,700 square feet of floor space and 32 patrolmen plus the neces-
sary supportive staff to serve the projected population.
The Consultants believe that a structure of approximately 9,000
square feet of floor area should be adequate for the next 10 years
and should include two holding cells (male and female), dispatch
room, records room, interrogation room, several office spaces,
couple large storage rooms, rest rooms and kitchen.
Fire Department:
At the present time, there
is not any immediate
need for enlarging the existing fire
station or
building a branch
sub -station. However, as
the City
grows, the
need for a branch
fire station would become
imminent.
The Con-
sultants have proposed
a possible site for this
facility
on the Public
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Buildings Plan Map. This proposed site should be at least one acre
and located on Spurlock just north of Nederland High School as
illustrated on the Public Buildings Plan Map.
It is believed that with the proposed branch fire station and the Cen
tral Station, the whole Planning Area could be given excellent fire
protection. The branch fire station was proposed based on the future
Circulation Plan and Land Use Pattern.
Library; In order to adequately serve the existing and projected popu-
lotion for the City, the Library should contain a volume per
capita figure as suggested on Table 13, page 2-5. This would neces-
sitate a structure with a capacity of between 37,000 to 78,000 vol-
umes. The Library should also contain such things as a separate
Children's room, a reading or reference room, a listening room, a
small meeting room and a lounge. At present, the Library is totally
inadequate for the existing population. Relocation of this facility is
truly a necessity. It is recommended that this facility be located at
the proposed Governmental Complex site. This proposed site location
not only corresponds to the statements made by Charles Mohrhorte
and Ralph Ulveling but the American Library Association as well,
which indicates that libraries should be centrally located, preferably
near the Central Business District, This type of location will permit
maximum use of the facility and ready access on daily trips into the
commercial area. A proposed structure providing 9,000 to 18,000
square feet should be considered. Once the new library facility is
constructed, the existing structure could possibly be converted into
either a neighborhood recreation center with a meeting room and
_ various use areas for passive type recreation or a Child Day Care
Center.
An additional library service must be considered in the Planning
Period. The total Planning Area contains approximately 12 square
miles, a majority of which will ultimately be developed in resi-
dential uses. Serious consideration must be given to providing
adequate bookmobile service in these extended areas. It will not
always be convenient to travel to the more dense urban area in
order to secure books for personal use. Also, it is not feasible to
develop branch library facilities at this time or within the Planning
Period,
City Service Center Complex: This existing Complex site presently
contains four buildings. These are the
City Service Center, the Dog Pound, the Sewage Treatment Plant
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Building, and the Old Maintenance Warehouses. These facilities are
adequate at the present time. However, as municipal services increase
with the anticipated population growth, additional space for equipment
maintenance, and storage will be required. It would be possible to pro-
vide additional facilities at the City's present site location. These
additional facilities should be adequate for the duration of the Plan-
ning Period,
Community Center: At present the City of Nederland has no muni-
cipally owned Community Center facility. How-
ever, site plan design work is presently being conducted on a proposed
location for just such a facility as well as other complimentary facilities.
This total community facility is to be known as Doornbos Heritage '76
Park and is to be located on Avenue H just north of Hillcrest Elementary
School. The proposed site will contain approximately 20 acres and is
scheduled to include not only a community center but tennis courts,
little league baseball fields, swimming pool, archery range, handball
courts, multi -purpose play slabs, large children's play area, small
lake and Gazebo, large open play area, and parking facilities.
The proposed Community Center facility should initially contain approx-
imately 31,000 square feet of floor space with provisions made for an
additional floor area of 27,500 square feet to meet expected population
growth by the end of the Planning Period. The facility should ultimately
include space for private offices, small meeting room or social hall (20
people), large meeting room (350 people or more), or space which may
double as a gymnasium, club rooms, kitchen, dressing rooms, rest
rooms, and large storage areas.
ALTERNATE The proposed site locations of various public buildings within the Gov -
SITE ernmental Complex which was discussed previously could, for one rea-
LOCATIONS son or another, prove to be not feasible. Therefore, the following
alternatives are recommended.
As previously proposed, the future Police Station would be located
immediately behind the existing City Hall Complex along North 15th
Street. However, this would require the acquisition of several
dwelling units which could create certain relocation problems for
the City involving the residents of the units, not to mention various
other potential problems. An alternate site location for the future
Police Station would be on the municipally owned vacant parcel of
land immediately adjacent to the existing Complex which is also
along North 15th Street, It is estimated that this parcel of land
••u.• PUBLIC BUILDINGS
contains approximately 16,500 square feet which would definitely
be enough land to support the proposed ultimate Police Station
building size of approximately 11,700 square feet by the end of
Mm the Planning Period. The site would also be large enough to
support some fifteen off-street parking spaces for both the general
public and police officers with enough land remaining for land-
scaping to maintain a good aesthetic appearance. It is still recom-
mended that the main entrance to the facility be off North 15th
Street.
Since the proposed alternate location of the future Police Station
would be situated on the site originally proposed for the new Library,
an alternate site for this facility has been suggested. In maintaining
that a library should be located in a large activity center area,
which is centrally located, preferably near or within the Central
Business District, the Consultants have recommended the parcel of
vacant land along Boston Avenue across North 14th Street from the
Post Office as the alternate site location for the new Library. This
site which lays between North 13th Street and North 14th Street con-
tains approximately 36,000 square feet and would have to be acquired
by the City. Here again as with the alternate Police Station site,
there would be enough land area to meet the ultimate building size
of the new Library through the Planning Period. There would also
be enough land area remaining for off-street parking as well as a
small landscaped plaza area.
The Consultants believe fihat these two alternative site locations for
the above public facilities will continue to meet the City of Neder-
land's objectives of providing a central location for all general
governmental administrative services. The Consultants further
believe that by maintaining a continued separation of these two
different functioning facilities as was originally proposed, the
citizens of Nederland will continually be served efficiently and
effectively.

ANNEXATION STUDY
ANNEXATION STUDY
INTRODUCTION It is now apparent that the City of Nederland has entered an entirely
new era of urban development beyond its present boundaries. This
urbanization is based upon many reasons but mostly on the widespread
availability of the private, individual mode of transportation, the
automobile, and on the lower cost of housing beyond Nederland as
well as other Mid -County communities. The issue, therefore, is not
so much whether Nederland will grow, but rather in what form, how
much, and how will it be controlled. The first two issues stated above
have been previously addressed in the City's recently completed Future
Land Use Plan. However, the third issue which is the most important
in the long run cannot be addressed completely until the land area
within the City of Nederland's extraterritorial jurisdiction has been
annexed. The challenge and opportunity presented to the City of
Nederland will determine the future of the community for decades
to come. This opportunity and challenge must be capitalized upon
to the lasting advantage of future generations.
Urban development cannot take place without major investments for
the financing of roads, sewers, water, natural gas, and electricity.
Furthermore, urban life as it is known within this country, cannot
flake place without facilities and services for public safety, education,
health and recreation, and human welfare. Programming the develop-
_ meet of the public facilities creates the guidelines within which urban-
ization can take place. The time, location and scope of public invest-
ment decision will influence orderly government structure and shape
the physical, social and economic form of Nederland as well as the
Mid -County Region. Therefore, it is essential that Nederland as an
expanding urban community possess a planned annexation program for
development and expansion.
ANNEXATION:., Annexation should not be treated as simply a matfier of boundary adjust -
PRINCIPLES menfi. It is a step in the overall process of urban expansion and such
AND expansion must be based on the long range plans of the community and
CRITERIA the suitability of the land for development. For this reason, it is
necessary to carry out a comprehensive analysis, and review annexa-
tions according to desirable urban growth principles and criteria. In
order for the City of Nederland to accomplish this, the following list
of annexation principles and criteria were developed and utilized in
evaluating and reviewing the three proposed annexation alternatives
-- illustrated on the Annexation Program Map at the end of this Chapter.
ANNEXATION STUDY
1. All long-term growth development objectives established by the
City of Nederland should be considered prior to any annexation.
2. Areas designated for annexation should be sufficiently large to
permit comprehensive planning and orderly neighborhood devel-
opment.
3. The timing, location, and limits of annexation should be coor-
dinated with existing and planned programs for extending trans-
portation and municipal services, such as major water, sewer,
and drainage system lines.
4. The fiscal capabilities of the City of Nederland to absorb dddi-
tional growth through annexation should be considered.
5. The costs of
extending
public
utilities
and services
by the City
to the future
annexed
areas
should be
considered.
b. The costs of allowing older areas within the existing corporate
limits to deteriorate while fiscal funds are being diverted to
newer areas should be considered.
7. Consideration should be given to the effects that annexation
could have on existing and future social services.
FACTORS The following is a discussion of those various factors which affect
AFFECTING municipal annexation in some way or another. Each factor is dis-
ANNEXATION cussed separately so that a clearer understanding might be obtained
of how it, individually, will affect annexation.
Legal Factors: The City of Nederland presently has the authority under
Section 1.04, Extension of Ciiy Boundaries, of their
Home Rule Charter to annex any land area within their extraterritorial
jurisdiction. Under this Section, Nederland may extend its corporate
boundaries through annexation utilizing one of two methods, either
action of the City Council or by general elections. In utilizing the
former method, the City Council has the power by ordinance to fix
the boundary limits of the City and to provide for the extension of
these limits and the annexation of additional territory lying adjacent
to the City, with or without the consent of the residents or owners of
the territory to be annexed. Any resident (s) or owner (s) of land with-
in the territory to be annexed which is aggravated by such Council
ANNEXATION STUDY
action has the right within thirty days after the ordinance's first read-
ing and publication in an official newspaper to contest the annexation
with a written petition to the City Council. However, the Council
4w, may disregard such petition (s) and approve the annexation ordinance
as originally conceived.
The second or latter method of boundary extension mentioned above is
quite different than the former. Under this method, the City Council
orders an election to be held for the purposes of annexing territory.
.M... In doing this, the City Council is required to give notice of the date
and place of the balloting at such election by publication of the order
which includes survey notes of the subject area in an official news-
.,.._ paper of the City at least thirty days prior to the date of the election.
The only individuals who are permitted to vote are those residents of
both the City of Nederland and the territory sought for annexation
who are currently qualified to vote for members of the State Legislature.
At the first meeting of the City Council after the election, the votes
must be canvassed. At this point, the only way such territory may be
annexed is if the majority of the votes cast by both the City and terri-
tory residents individually are in favor of such annexation.
A third method for annexing territory by the City of Nederland is also
discussed in Section 1.04, however, this method stems not from any
direct City Council action but from submitted petitions from property
owners wishing to be annexed who own land which is unoccupied.
Once these petitions which contain a description of the land to be
annexed by metes and bounds are submitted, the City Council must
not less than five days but not more than thirty days from the date of
each petition submittal hear such petitions and the arguments for and
against prior to granting or refusing each,
Nederland'sSubdivision ControlOrdinancewhich was adopted by the
City in June, 1956, as amended, assists the City in managing develop-
ment within its extraterritorial jurisdiction. Under this Ordinance,
developers are required to meet specific design standards and plat
requirements prior to receiving final development recommendation from
the City Plan Commission and approval by the City Council. Once
such approval is received, building permits may be issued for construction.
Both this Ordinance and Section 1.04 of Nederland's Home Rule Charter
comply with the rules and regulations as established by Articles I
through V of the Municipal Annexation Act of 1963 as amended by
House Bill 389 in 1965, for managing development and annexing
territory within the City's extraterritorial jurisdictional areas. For a
ANNEXATION STUDY
more thorough understanding as to what is required by the Municipal
Annexation Act, it is suggested that a copy of the original Act, with
amendments be obtained and referred to.
Other legal factors which Nederland will be faced with once annex-
ation procedures are initiated include existing ordinance revisions,
calling of bond elections, establishing bond election dates, establish-
ing time tables for ordinance readings, changes to ward boundaries,
and changes to corporate boundaries. Undoubtedly the most important
legal factor at that point in time will be the calling and setting of a
date for a bond election. Since the Municipal Annexation Act requires
a municipality, once it has annexed territory, to install or provide
equal services to such area within three years from annexation, and
since the cost of such services at today's prices is quite expensive, it
would not necessarily be unrealistic to assume that the passage or
failure of annexation proposition would stem from just this one factor.
Changes or revisions in existing municipal ordinances would also be
required. One such ordinance which would require amendment
would be the City Zoning Ordinance. Since the zoning ordinance
can only be applied within the corporate limits of a municipality,
once Nederland should annex, zoning districts would have to be
established within the newly acquired land which then would require
an amendment to the Official Zoning Map. Other adopted ordinances
of the City would also have to be changed reflecting the newly acquired
territory.
Since the Home Rule Charter establishes both the present City limits
and Word boundaries, a change will also be required in this situation
once additional territory is acquired by Nederland. The Charter
points out that such changes are possible, however, in changing
ward boundaries, the City Council must maintain four wards at all
times within the City and that each ward must contain as nearly as
possible the some number of electors.
Political Implications: One of the major consequences that annexation
will create will be public opinion as to the
effect such a proposition will have upon either the original City citizen
or the annexed citizen in regard to taxes, utility rates and level of
services. Interwoven within this public concern and eventually the
determination of such a proposition is the cost that must be incurred for
constructing adequate public services and facilities particularly water
and sanitary sewer services within an annexed area.
ANNEXATION STUDY
Property owners within an annexed area that have previously purchased
_ their properties at 'cheap" prices must be considered since such pro-
perties generally had no available public water or sanitary sewer
services. The major concern at this point normally centers around the
method of property assessment for such improvements in that should a
property owner be assessed for some of or all of such improvement costs
involved." Also, as legal fees, increased interest rates and construction
costs resulting from such assessment programs which usually increase
total costs by as much as twenty-five percent must be reviewed. Then,
if a property owner is not assessed more than twenty-five percent, no
net gain is accrued in the outcome.
The following are some additional political aspects that should be
reviewed by the City of Nederland when considering annexation:
"" 1. That the new citizen does not want to be taxed if no equal
services (mostly utilities) are provided or reasonable expected
within some period of time, say a maximum of three years, in
accordance with State Legislation;
2. That some percentage (by polls in this area) of the citizens
located in the area to be considered for annexation do not want
annexation at all nor any of the taxes or services that go with
it and such was a probable significant factor in their being so
rurally located in the first place;
3. That because cities are legally democratic and people oriented
` then city indebtedness acquired to finance utilities must be
approved by the qualified electors;
4. That Nederland has a portion of its tax rate, $.725, allocated
for debt retirement, therefore, if considerable valuation is
added by annexation, then a proportional sum becomes avail-
able to retire additional bonds, usually called General
Obligation Bonds;"
5. That Nederland has a portion of its gross utility rates, approxi-
---- mately 20%, allocated for either revenue bond retirement or
transfer to general fund for general obligation bond retirement
(originally expended for purpose of expanding water and/or
-- sanitary sewer system);

III-5
ANNEXATION STUDY
b. That the federal grant participation factor can, in the end,
outweight all others in projecting a feasible outcome of a
particular annexation proposition - because of its effect on the
economic feasibility of the overall propositions;
Example: assume costs of a candidate area to be
water - $500,000.00; ineligible plant
and sewer laterals - $500,000.00; eligible trunk sewers
under federal "anti -pollution" legislation $2,000,000.00.
This would leave City's total capital outlay participation
at $1,500,000.00 which would take about $150,000.00
per year debt requirements.
Example Conclusion:
a. By federal grant being approved -prior to the
Annexation - then a politician could advise the
electors tat if a later bond issue were approved
by the voters —then no increase in taxes or water/
sewer rates would be required: - the bond issue
might pass;
b. By federal grant not being approved -prior to the
Annexation - then a politician could advise the
electors that if a later bond issue were approved by
the voters - then a tax rate increase of about $.10
would be necessary as well as an increase in water/
sewer rates of $2.00/month. - the bond issue might
fail.
7. That it is politically expedient, as well as the "right°' thing to
do, to assess the annexed property at about 20'/o first year or
two then, after say sewers are installed and available, increase
assessment by 10% to total 30%; after another year, when water
facilities and fire protection are made available increase such
assessment by another 10% to a total of 40% which is the same
as all other Nederland properties, however, such is (actually
with last several year's inflation) more likely to be 30% than
40% of market value.
In the past decade Nederland has completed the entire annexation proce-
dures one time (between Canal Avenue and Spurlock Road and U.S. 69
to 18th Street) but due to public opinion as expressed at a referendum
ANNEXATION STUDY
election September 27, 1969 (both inside the original corporate limits
and the annexed area) the qualified electors voted as follows:
SANITARY SEWER FOR AGAINST
Property Owners 426 626
Non -property Owners 14 5
Total 440 631
WATER SYSTEM FOR AGAINST
Property Owners 413 629
Non -property Owners 14 5
Total 427 634
To defeat the issuance of bonds for the purpose of providing the City
local funding (grant under Public Law 660 to 301/6 of trunk sewers had
already been approved) of the proposed water and sewer facilities to
serve the annexed area. The area was intentionally disannexed near
the end of the same calendar year - therefore, properties were never
placed on the City tax roll. From a public opinion or political
standpoint, when the City of Nederland initiated petitions (not
legal, just affirmative expressions of the citizenry) which was then
presented to City Council requesting annexation, the citizens asked
(and were promised) that if the bond election failed they would be
disannexed. Such was the action taken.
As mentioned in the legal factors subsection, annexation will require
the existing ward structure of Nederland to be changed. Undoubtedly
this will result in City wards with a larger number of electors. However,
the political implications concerning members of the City Council's
election do not appear to be of any consequence since Nederland's
City Charter requires only that the Councilmen reside in the Ward from
which they are elected. They, like the Mayor, are elected ot-large.
Public Utility and Service Factors: These particular factors are dis-
cussed in more detail in the follow-
--- ing Annexation Program section. However, a brief discussion of such
existing factors as well as certain legal requirements for which Neder-
land must meet within those areas presently under consideration for
annexation would be appropriate at this time.
At present, the majority of the area within Nederland's extraterritorial
-- jurisdiction is being served by either inadequate individual wells or
ANNEXATION STUDY
mall private cooperatives for water and septic tanks for sewage dis-
posal. However, there are certain sections of this territory which are
served by an adequate although not "State Approved", water and
sewer system provided by the Jefferson County Water Control and
Improvement District No. 10. Once Nederland begins annexing this
territory, the areas which are developed and are served by inadequate
facilities will require installation of adequate public facilities. Such
installation will be required by Nederland within three years from annexa-
tion to conform with Section 10 (A) of the Municipal Annexation Act of
1963 as amended. If installation does not take place within the specified
period of time, disannexation procedures by fifty percent or more of the
land owners within such annexed territory may be initiated. This is also
in accordance with the same section number.
For those areas to be annexed by Nederland which are being served
by the Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 facilities,
the requirements for which Nederland must conform to are quite
different. In this case, Nederland will not be required to install
any public facilities except at points in the District's system that
need to be improved or at points where the City system will be tied
into the District's system. However, Nederland will be required,
in accordance with Article 1182a of Vernon's Annotated Civil
Stotutes, to pay all bonded indebtedness and other obligations owed
by the District for any current year before the City may receive any
tax revenue from the residents of the area.
The City of Nederland, in accordance with Section 10 (A) of the
Municipal Annexation Act, must within three years from annexation
also provide to any annexed territory all other governmental services
at the same standard and scope as furnished other areas of the City
containing similar topography, land utilization, and population
density characteristics. However, if the land annexed is undeveloped,
such public facilities and services described are not necessarily required.
Economic Factors: As in the public utility and service factors sub-
section, these particular factors are discussed in
greater detail in the following Annexation Program section. However,
all of these factors have been discussed in some way or another through-
out this section on factors affecting annexation. When a municipality
begins to engage itself in annexation, the factors involving revenue to
be expected versus cost to be incurred play a never-ending financial
variable game with the municipality. This means that a municipality
must be in top financial shape so it will be able to react instantly
�3
ANNEXATION STUDY
with knowledgeable information to any economic situation that occurs
as a result of annexation. The municipal corporation as any other
business enterprise, must be operated efficiently and economically.
As can be seen from the other various factor discussions, the City of
Nederland will be required by law to meet certain economic obliga-
tions when annexing. These financial obligations will have to be off-
set mostly through revenue received from property taxes for the City
to maintain an acceptable economic enterprise.
Social Factors Annexation of territory by a municipality in and of
itself does not necessarily create social problems.
However, the actual annexing of the territory by the jurisdiction
does place certain social solving problem responsibility on the back
of the municipality. These responsibilities range from improving the
physical environment in which the annexed residents live to providing
the residents themselves and their property with adequate police and
fire protection. As can be seen from the above sentence which has
been reinforced by many sociologists and phycologists, physical and
social problems facing cities today are so interwoven that to speak of
one and not the other would be ludicrous.
The City of Nederland will be facing many of these same problems
when it begins to annex additional territory. However, there will be
__.. one predominant social factor or problem facing Nederland at that
- time which will be blighted areas. During the condition of structures
survey of the neighborhood analysis study, it was determined that
- 53% of the City's substandard dwelling units were located within the
territory now under consideration for annexation. The survey also
determined that the worst Planning Statistical Area within the City
containing substandard dwelling units (17.9%) was located within
-- this territory as well .
Substandard dwelling units or structures are not necessarily in and of
themselves the cause of blight. There are many other factors such as
low income, open ditches, narrow streets, poor utility services,
inadequate lighting, and garbage and trash to just name a few.
However, once the City of Nederland annexes, many of these pro-
blems should be and must be corrected.
Environmental Factors: As was stated in the social factors subsection
is also correct about environmental factors
and that is, annexation by a municipality of territory in and of itself
ANNEXATION STUDY
does not create adverse environmental problems. Environmental prob-
lems are only created once the territory annexed is developed. These
problems can occur immediately after annexation if the land is presently
developed or once the land begins to develop.
In Nederland°s case, certain environmental problems will occur almost
immediately after annexation since most of the land to be annexed,
particularly within the next ten years, is presently or will be developed
to a large extent. The environmental concerns with which Nederland
will be concerned once annexation becomes a reality include noise
problems caused by the railroad and industrial uses; potential health
and fire problems from neighboring petroleum tank farms, if such are
developed within or adjacent to any land annexed, visual and odor
problems from such tank farms as well as from other industrial uses;
ponding problems which cause stagnant water which inturn creates
health problems from mosquitoes; agricultural activities such as the
keeping of chickens, horses, goats, or sheep which create odor and
health problems; open ditches which tend to create problems similar
to that of ponding; inadequate private water and sewer systems; poor
streets, as well as numerous other environmental problems.
ANNEXATION As was stated earlier, annexation should not be treated as simply as
PROGRAM matter of boundary adjustment, but rather as a step in the overall
process of urban expansion according to desirable urban growth
principles and criteria. An attempt at achieving such a philosophy
has been undertaken in the following discussions concerning three
possible annexation program alternatives for the City of Nederland.
It should be pointed out that these three program alternatives have
taken into consideration all the principles and criteria as well as
those factors which affect annexation stated earlier in the Chapter.
Prior to beginning any of the discussions concerning the three program
alternativesI several important points of interest should be dealt with
initially. The first and foremost is that each alternative is based upon
the Future Land Use Plan of Nederland and the ultimate development
potential projected by it for the territory subject to annexation within
twenty years.
The second point is that each alternative reflects a twenty year period
of time for annexation. However, this period of time has been further
divided into four, five year periods of time or phases. This further
division of time has been accomplished to permit Nederland to extend
its corporate boundaries at a more logical and economical pace.
ANNEXATION STUDY
The third point of interest concerns bond issues that will be required to
meet the City's obligation for providing or upgrading public facilities
such as water, sewer and road systems within those areas annexed. The
consultants realize that such facilities are required to be installed by
developers according to the City's Subdivision Control Ordinance
standards. However, there are certain areas within the City's extra-
territorial jurisdiction that are presently developed and that when
annexed would require Nederland to improve such facilities and/or
provide additional ones. At this point, and based on the estimated
cost figures derived (see the following subsection discussions) for such
facilities, the City would have to issue bonds as authorized at an
election by the majority of the electors voting thereon. Assuming this,
the consultants utilized a thirty year retirement period at a 5.501/o
annual interest rate requirement for all bond obligations. The 5.50%
annual interest rate requirement was utilized throughout each alter-
native phase to maintain consistency and eliminate any guesswork on
future annual interest rates.
The fourth point of interest deals with the Jefferson County Water
Control and Improvement District No. 10's present bond indebted-
ness and how it affects Nederland's annexation obligations within
those areas in which the District presently functions. As was stated
earlier in the Chapter, Nederland will be required by Texas Law to
pay all bond indebtedness of the District for any current year before
receiving any tax revenue from the residents presently served by the
-- District. At present, District No. 10 serves all the residents within
Planning Statistical Area No. 3 and part of No. 4 just north of the
M Gulf States right-of-way with water and sewer. The location of both
-- Planning Statistical Area's are shown on the Annexation Program Map
at the end of this Chapter.
- The present bond indebtedness, including interest of the Water Control
- and Improvement District No. 10, according to local District officials
as of July, 1974, is approximately $1,115,191.00. This figure was
-- approximated since final audit figures for their 1973-74 fiscal year
were unavailable at such time. The annual retirement payments for
the District's present operation system have been set at approximately
- $67,500. This latter figure is the amount Nederland will be required
to pay once the above Planning Statistical Areas are annexed. The
above figures have not been shown on any of the following annexation
program tables for those involved areas since each annual retirement
payment must be settled prior to Nederland receiving any tax revenue
from those area residents.
ANNEXATION STUDY
The fifth point concerns the potential drainage facilities within those
areas proposed for annexation and as illustrated on the Annexation
Program Map at the end of this Chapter. In the following annexation
program alternative discussions, the costs for which Nederland could
incur within each alternative have not been specifically addressed.
This is due to two primary reasons. First, these areas proposed for
annexation did not have any additional drainage facilities suggested
outright as based on the Storm Drainage System section discussed
earlier in this report. At this point in time, the Jefferson County
Drainage District No. 7 has the sole responsibility for providing such
trunk facilities to these areas while the Jefferson County Precinct No.
2 has lateral and road ditch drainage maintenance responsibility.
However, as Nederland, which is the second reason, begins to annex
these areas, engineering studies from an open ditch master plan to a
storm sewer master plan and eventual construction of a drainage system
will be required to be initiated. The costs for conducting engineering
studies concerning an open ditch master plan are presently obtainable.
However, such cost factors are on a per acre basis and without thorough
knowledge of how development will occur within these areas even pro-
jected cost amounts would be extremely misleading. Besides this situation,
developers are required according to Nederland's Subdivision Control
Ordinance, to install such facilities within their developments.
The sixth and final point of interest concerns the method utilized in
arriving at what land area within Nederland's extraterritorial juris-
diction will be annexed during each five year phase or time period
of each program alternative. To determine the exact method, many
factors were taken into consideration including those discussed earlier
in the Chapter as well as those discussed with City officials such as
existing development, utility and service expansion as well as present
municipal responsibilities and obligations. After reviewing and
evaluating all such factors, it was determined that the best possible
method to achieve the City's long-term development objectives, as well
as to provide a means to economically articulate future development
requirements, was to institute the use of the Planning Statistical Areas
as the key Program Annexation Areas. In two of the three following
program alternatives, several of these Planning Statistical Areas have
been additionally divided to meet some of the above factor objectives.
To assist the reader in understanding more clearly each of the annexation
program alternatives and their supporting tables, the following descriptive
outline has been provided to illustrate by each program alternative those
Program Annexation Areas by boundary description proposed for annex-
ation during each five year phase period.

ANNEXATION STUDY
The territory involving Nederland's extraterritorial jurisdiction con-
toins approximately 4,877 total acres of which only 2,003 acres or
41 percent is presently developed in some way or another. However,
by the end of Nederland's Planning Period, this some area is expected
to contain approximately 3,669 developed acres. This is an increase
over the present developed acreage of about 1,666 or 45 percent.
_ The reason for such development can be partly seen from the general
growth characteristics on the following table. As can be observed
from the table, population for all these proposed annexation areas
combined will top out at just slightly less than the present day Neder-
land population count. This means that the City of Nederland can
expect the demand for municipal services to almost, if not completely,
_ double within the next twenty years.
Table 15 has been further provided to show municipal officials as well
as the general public the expected growth rate for each annexation
program alternative and its phases. In providing such a table, the
consultants believe that a more concise understanding as to why muni-
cipol service cost and revenue figures illustrated on the preceding
tables are as shown. Table 15, in addition to the above benefits,
also assists in providing a means for determining what Alternative
Program Annexation Area will require the most consideration.
To obtain a more comprehensive economic picture as to the municipal
_ costs versus revenues resulting from annexation, the following onnex-
ation program alternative discussions have been divided into subsections
which deal separately with each municipal cost and revenue factor.
Streets and Roads: Table 16 outlines by Program Annexation Area, the
estimated capital outlay and annual cost that the
City of Nederland can expect to incur through each annexation phase
for the stated types of roads. In arriving at the estimated capital out-
lay cost figures for each road type, it was necessary to approximate to
the closest extent possible the mileage of each type of road required
within each Program Annexation Area. To achieve this, Nederland's
Future Circulation Plan was utilized. From this Plan, it was possible
to obtain each main and collector road's proposed location within each
Program Annexation Area as well as each road's, including local streets,
recommended standard widths, particularly pavement widths. With this
information, it was possible to determine the mileage by road type
situated within each Program Annexation Area. Such mileage results
are shown in column 5 of Table 16. After mathematically calculating

the square yardage amount needed for each road type from the pre-
viously determined mileage and the established standard for each
road type was then applied. The costs per square yard utilized were
$20.00 for main roads and $6.50 for collectors and locals. Both cost
figures were obtained from Charles R. Haile and Associates, Con -
suiting Engineers for the City of Nederland and based on local cost
amounts for materials, labor and maintenance of such roads. However,
_ it should be pointed out that the costs for both collectors and local
roads are for maintenance of such existing roads only and not for
construction.
To obtain the total estimated cost for each alternative annexation
phase that the City of Nederland can expect to incur for such esti-
mated capital outlays, it was assumed that bonds would have to be
issued during each annexation phase. These bonds would be for thirty
years at 5.50/6 interest per year.
Water System; The estimated capital outlays as shown on Table 17 are
primarily for the extension of a new water distribution
system or improvement to the existing water distribution systems within
Nederland's extraterritorial jurisdictional areas proposed for onnexa-
"' tion. Column 5, Estimated Line Length in Feet, of Table 17 is based
only on the length of those distribution lines proposed on the Water
System Map for each Program Annexation Area. Column 4, Proposed
Line Size in Inches, as well as the gallon capacity for elevated stor-
age are also based on the same Map. To obtain the total estimated
capital outlay amount for each line size within an alternative phase,
the local line size per linear foot cost rate for each respective line
-- obtained from Charles R. Haile and Associates, Nederland's con -
suiting engineers, was utilized as a base. However, it should be
pointed out that all the cost rates cover total installation of each
-- line size per linear foot.
This cost rate was then applied to the estimated required line length.
-- The line size cost rates were increased fifty percent for each alter-
native phase period to reflect potential cost increases. The some
increasing cost process was also applied to the present day local
elevated storage cost figures to obtain its estimated capital outlay
amount which is outlined in Column 3 within each alternative phase
three on Table 17.
Column 8,, Total Estimated Annual Cost, was obtained by applying
each line's estimated capital outlay to the thirty year 5.501/o interest

rate per year bond issuance process. By utilizing this process, an
annual cost figure for each Program Annexation Area to be paid by
Nederland was obtainable.
Sewer System: The same process and sources of cost information that
were utilized in obtaining all the Water System data
stated above were also used to obtain the Sewer System cost informa-
tion shown on Table 18. The only major source difference is that the
information displayed in columns 4 and 6 of this Table for each Program
Annexation Area was obtained from that proposed on the Sewerage
System Map within those areas subject to annexation. However, an
additional point concerning Table 18 should also be made. In various
alternative phases, manholes are required to be installed. For lack
of specific space on the table to place the required number and the
cost of each, columns 5 and 6 were utilized. Column 5 contains the
number of manholes required while column 6 contains the cost of each
within each phase.
Solid Waste Collection: Before the total estimated annual cost for
each alternative phase Program Annexation
Area could be determined, a total estimated cost per capita, as well
as the estimated capital outlay, if any, had to be obtained. To deter-
mine the former cost figure, on individual cost per capita amount was
devised. In determining this figure, the City's past three garbage
expense year figures were reviewed. Once this was accomplished,
population figures within the City limits were reviewed for the some
three years and then applied to the expense figures. In doing this,
an estimated cost per capita figure was developed for each year.
This was done to see the cost per capita variation among the three
years. After this was accomplished, the percentage of change among
the three years was reviewed and an average percentage determined.
This average percentage was then applied to the most recent garbage
expense year figure and then multiplied out for twenty years using
each previous year's expense total to arrive at a total estimated fifth
year figure for each alternative phase. Once each total estimated
fifth year expense figure was obtained, the accumulative population
figure of the total City including the respective ultimate figure for
the Program Annexation Area that was proposed for annexation was
then applied to its respective fifth year expense figure of the entire
City to determine an estimated cost per capita amount. The obtained
cost per capita amount was then compared with the previously obtained
three cost per capita amounts for consistency. If such was achieved,
the new cost per capita amount then applied to the ultimate population
of each of the Program Annexation Areas only to obtain the total esti-
mated cost per capita amount for that area.

ANNEXATION STUDY
Since the City of Nederland will be responsible for solid waste col-
lection within each newly acquired Program Annexation Area, a
method of collection must be instituted. In the Solid Waste section
of this document, a proposed method of collection based on future
dwelling unit counts was recommended by the consultants and labeled
as Alternative One. In this alternative, it was recommended that for
every 800 dwelling units over the present City count, an additional
packer truck and three personnel should be acquired and employed.
Such has been done for each Program Annexation Area where it applies,
and placed in column 8, Total Estimated Capital Outlay per Year, of
Table 19. However, this column only reflects the cost per year for
purchasing one or more trucks. To obtain this amount, a purchase
price of $22,000 for a similar packer truck in operation in Nederland
was utilized. It was then assumed that a truck would not be bought
and paid for all at once, but with payments being made with interest
over the total annexation phase period.
Once the total estimated cost per capita and total estimated capital
outlay per year was determined for each Program Annexation Area,
all that remained was adding the two together and coming up with
the total estimated annual cost by phases.
._ Fire Protection To determine the total estimated fire protection cost
expected to be incurred by Nederland within each
Program Annexation Area as shown on Table 20, the percentage of
cost per capita for actual fire protection as well as emergency capa-
bilities had to first be determined. To achieve this, a review of the
City's fire records for the past five years was conducted along with
interviews with Fire Officials. Through this process, it was deter-
mined that approximately seventy percent of Nederland's fire pro-
' tection capability was being expended upon actual fire protection
- while the remaining thirty percent was for emergency capabilities.
Once these capability percentages were obtained, a review of the
City's total fire protection expenditures for each of those past five
-- years was conducted. From this review, an average annual percent-
age expense figure was obtained. This percentage figure was then
applied to the fifth years total expense figure to obtain a new amount.
-- This method was continued throughout each year of the annexation
program process to obtain five year accumulative totals for fire pro-
tection within Nederland. After obtaining these accumulative totals,
-- the fire protection capability percentages were applied. At this
point, accumulative population figures at five year intervals based

ANNEXATION STUDY
on the consultant previously developed population estimates for the
total planning period of the City were then applied to each fifth year
capability percentage total. By doing this, a cost per capita amount
was obtainable for both actual fire protection and emergency caps-
bility.
From this point, the ulfiimate population figures for each alternative
phase Program Annexation Area was multiplied by its cost per capita
figures for each fire protection capability to obtain the total copa-
bility cost for a particular phase. Both capability cost figures were
then added together to determine the total estimated fire protection
amount expected to be incurred by Nederland in each alternative
' phase. Results of this process are shown on Table 20.
Police Protection: A methodology quite similar to that utilized in the
Fire Protection subsection for obtaining total esti-
mated annual cost figures for each alternative phase was also applied
in this situation with one exception. Reviews of past police records
were not conducted. To obtain cost per capita figures, interviews
with Police Officials were conducted to determine the approximate
percentage of time the Police Department expends in providing pro-
tection to residential areas as compared to other areas. From these
interviews, it was determined that thirty percent of the Department's
time is spent in providing protection to residential areas while the
remaining seventy percent is provided to other areas. This compares
very closely with State and National averages of cities similar in
size to Nederland. Utilizing these percentages and the process
used in the Fire Protection subsection, total estimated police pro-
tection costs by alternative phase were obtainable. The results of
this process for police protection by alternative phase are shown on
' Table 21.
Miscellaneous Municipal Services: In the previous six subsections,
concentration was placed on
those cost factors that are quite noticeable for which Nederland can
expect to incur after annexation. However, there are other cost
factors which are not as noticeable such as general government and
administration, recreation and parks, government control, and others
that also must be considered. Table 22 summarizes by alternative
phase the total estimated annual cost that Nederland can expect to
pay to meet its obligation of providing such municipal services.

ANNEXATION STUDY
To obtain these total estimated annual costs for each alternative phase,
a review of expenditures by Nederland for each of these various mis-
cellaneous services for the past several years had to be conducted.
Once the review was completed and an average percentage change was
determined for each service, an overall cost figure at five year inter-
vals for each service was obtainable by applying each average percent-
age change to its respective annual total cost. At this point, the
accumulative projected city population figures in five year intervals
previously developed were applied to each respective five year annual
total cost to obtain on estimated cost per capita amount for each respec-
tive alternative phase. The estimated cost per capita figure was then
multiplied by the projected alternative phase Program Annexation Area
ultimate population to produce the total estimated annual cost for each
Program Annexation Area. Results of such tabulations are displayed
on Table 22,
Personal Income: To estimate tax yields and municipal revenues for any
of the proposed annexation areas of the City of Neder-
land, an approximation of the total expected income of residents of these
areas and the way this income is distributed among its spending units is
required. To accomplish this, a review of present day families and
unrelated individuals income distribution characteristics had to be
made. In reviewing such distribution characteristics and to make it
less cumbersome for discussion purposes, the characteristics were
divided into four income classes in the following manner: $2,999 or
less, $3,000-$4,999, $5, 000-$7, 999 and $8,000-over. The total
number of families and unrelated individuals falling within each in-
come class was then calculated. With this total and the overall total,
a percentage of families and unrelated individuals within each of their
respective income classes was computed with the following results for
sock: 3.3%1 4.2%, 22.2%, and 70.3%. At this point, the con-
sultants had to assume that the percentage distribution figures would
remain approximately the same throughout Nederland's Planning
Period. Utilizing this assumption, the total estimated personal income
for each income class by alternative phase Program Annexation Area
was obtainable. However, before this personal income for each
income class could be acknowledged, the total overall personal
income for each Program Annexation Area had to be determined.
This was accomplished by determining Nederland's consumer spend-
ing unit ratio which is the number of families and unrelated

individuals divided by the total number of occupied dwelling units or
0.95 for Nederland. Once this above figure was determined, the
average income per consumer spending unit for present day Nederland
had to be derived. The results in calculating for this average was
$11,623 per consumer spending unit. With these two determinations
and the ultimate number of occupied dwelling units per each Program
Annexation Area (see column 4 of Table 23), the total overall esti-
mated personal income for each Program Annexation Area could be
obtained. At this point, each individual income class's total esti-
mated personal income for each Program Annexation Area could be
determined. This was conducted by multiplying each percentage as
determined above together with the total overall estimated personal
income of each Program Annexation Area. Column 5 on Table 23
was then finally determined for each Program Annexation Area by
dividing its total number of occupied dwelling units into its total
overall estimated personal income.
Valuation of Residential Structures: Column 7 on Table 24 lists the
estimated capital value of housing
within each Program Annexation Area by income class from which muni-
cipal revenues for the City of Nederland is expected to be received.
However, to determine such valuations, a housing value to income
ratio was required for each income class. To determine such ratios
as shown in column 5 on Table 24, a regional relationship of housing
values to personal income had to be utilized which were generally
obtained from those developed by the U.S. Bureau of Census. Flow -
ever, due to the arrangement of the income classes outlined in
column 4, different ratios based on Census calculating procedures
had to be developed. Once these new ratios were obtained for each
income class, they were multiplied by the total estimated personal
income figures of their respective income class to obtain the estimated
capital value of housing. Table 24 contains the complete results of
such calculations for each alternative phase Program Annexation Area.
Valuation of Commercial Structures: In calculating the estimated
capital value of commercial
structures, a round about process had to be utilized which could
possibly make some of the capital values listed in column 5 on
Table 25 questionable. First, the expenditures as a percentage of
personal income for various types of commercial establishments as
well as the percentage of total estimated expenditures in Nederland
for such establishments had to be determined. The commercial establish-
ments considered included utilities excluding water and sewer, general

retail foods, banking and insurance, transportation, medical,
entertainment, and personal services. To determine both of the
percentage types stated above with respect to each commercial
establishment, regional and national percentage averages had to
be reviewed, and eventually, comparative figures from both of
these averages were utilized since such information was unattain-
able for Nederland.
Utilizing the former expenditure percentage for each establishment
by multiplying each of them by the total estimated personal income
of each Program Annexation Area, the estimated total expenditure
for each establishment was obtained. At this point, the latter
expenditure percentage figure for each establishment was multiplied
by each establishment's estimated total expenditure previously obtained
to determine the estimated amount that could be expected to be expended
by residents within each Program Annexation Area in each commercial
establishment.
Once these above estimates were determined the estimated capital
value of each commercial structure was obtainable. This was con-
ducted by applying a national capital coefficient established by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget for each stated commercial
establishment. These coefficients are estimates of investment in
buildings, equipment, and inventory necessary per dollar sales,
except for general retail activity; and for general retail activity,per
dollar margin. By multiplying these commercial establishment capital
coefficients by their respective estimated expenditure amounts, the
estimated capital valuation of each commercial establishment was
determined. To obtain the total estimated capital value of commercial
structures for each Program Annexation Area as shown in column 5 of
Table 25, each commercial establishment capital valuation developed
from each Program Annexation Area's total estimated personal income
was added together. However, there was one other variable taken
into consideration at this point, and that was where there were no
commercial developed projected within a Program Annexation Area
by Nederland's Future Land Use Plan, the statement "No Commercial
Structures" was placed in column 5 of Table 25 for that respective
Program Annexation Area.
Property Tax Revenue: Having estimated the total property valuation
except for industrial for each of the Program
Annexation Areas proposed for annexation, it is now possible to begin
approximating, at least in large part, the municipal revenues that
might be expected by Nederland from each of these Program Annexa-

on Areas. This approximation is based upon property tax rates,
current assessments and other sources of current revenues which
characterize Nederland's municipal operations.
Table 26 outlines those estimated annual tax revenues for each Pro-
gram Annexation Area that Nederland could expect. These estimates
which are shown in column 11 were derived from the total estimated
capital valuations listed on Tables 24 and 25 as well as the total
estimated capital value of industrial concerns by applying the City's
current assessed valuation and tax rate as seen in columns 4 and 5
respectively for each alternative phase. In arriving at the estimated
industrial valuations, the existing industrial cost per acre was deter-
mined which was then multiplied by the number of projected industrial
acres based on the Future Land Use Plan located within each Program
Annexation Area.
Once obtaining the estimated annual tax revenue for each alternative
phase Program Annexation Area, it was possible to proceed with deter-
mining the amount of revenue to be received by Nederland from other
sources. Table 27, lists two other sources of municipal revenue that
were possible to determine. These include water and sewer service
income and solid waste collection income. These were the only two
sources that were possible at this point in time to calculate. However,
there are sources of income such as sales tax, inspection fees, deliquent
tax, occupational taxes and license, street rentals, interest and income
and others that will also provide municipal revenue.
In determining the potential water and sewer income for each Program
Annexation Area, a constant amount of $71.00 per occupied dwelling
unit was utilized throughout each alternative phase. The consultants
handled it in this way, since it was felt that, even though the number
of occupied dwelling units will increase, the amount of water utilized
per unit will stay approximately the some. That is to say each occupied
dwelling unit will continue to require the some amount of water as
presently consumed for such services. This constant cost per occupied
dwelling unit figure was derived by applying the existing number of
structures to the present municipality's budgeted income for such ser-
vices and subtracting out all unoccupied dwelling units and other
structures. The results of this process are shown on column 7 of
Table 27.
To determine the potential solid waste income from each Program Annex-
ation Area, the accumulative projected population figures of Nederland
were applied to the accumulative projected collection income at five

year intervals. The projected collection income was obtained by
applying an average estimated annual percentage income figure to
each previous year's collection total. To arrive at this average per-
centage figure, a review of three collection year incomes was made.
Once the income per capita figures for the five year intervals were
obtained, the ultimate projected population figures for each Program
Annexation Area was multiplied by each respective five year figure.
The results of this process are shown in column 9 of Table 27,
After these additional revenue sources for each Program Annexation
Area were determined, they were then added to the estimated annual
tax revenue of each respective Program Annexation Area to obtain
each one's total estimated annual revenue shown in column 1 i of
Table 27.
Comparisons of Municipal Costs and Revenues: Having determined the
potential costs and
revenues for Nederland concerning each alternative phase Program
Annexation Area, it is now possible to determine the total estimated
annual surplus or deficit for each alternative and its phases. Column
6 of Table 28 does just that. However as can be seen, phase 4 of
Alternative One reflects a total estimated annual deficit of a little
more than $90,000. With that size of a deficit, it would be a little
unrealistic to assume that by the time Nederland would be annexing
Program Annexation Area 1-4 municipal revenues from the various
other sources not discussed previously could have the capability of
putting this Area in the black. Further observation of column 6
reveals that both Alternatives Two and Three reflect no deficit with-
in any phase but in fact, shown healthy surpluses. This result should
reveal, at least economically speaking, that either Alternative Two
or Three should be the one acknowledged by Nederland as being its
choice alternative for annexation.
CONCLUSION Before any one of the three annexation alternatives previously
cussed can be acknowledged as being the best alternative to proceed
with by Nederland, a comparative review of all various factors
involved in annexation as well as Nederland's growth principles and
criteria concerning each alternative should be conducted. Initially,
Alternative One can be eliminated through the use of the economic
factor since one of its phases reflect a deficit. This now leaves only
Alternative Two or Three to choose from. Both of the remaining
alternatives almost completely comply with all the factors, principles,

ANNEXATION STUDY
j and criteria established. However, Alternative Three during its phase
three time period, shows the City of Nederland annexing Planning
Statistical Area 11 in its entirety. This area covers approximately
831 acres of land and is presently almost completely undeveloped.
l_ However, if this area develops as is projected on Nederland's Future
Land Use Plan, it could create both a financial and social hardship
on Nederland. By this, it is meant that Nederland could have to
divert certain municipal monies from other areas within the City at
that time to its newer obligations in Area 11 . However, this situation
is not found in phase three of Alternative Two. In Alternative Two,
Planning Statistical Area 11 has been divided so that annexation of
this area is gradual and the City is provided with a better opportunity
for meeting all its obligations.
It is, therefore, the consultants recommendation that Alternative Two,
since it complies with all the requirements previously stated, be the
one acknowledged by the City of Nederland as their Annexation Pro-
gram choice.
