For the first time in 13 years, the Angelo State University Men’s Basketball team has a reason to celebrate in the post season.

The Rams defeated the Cameron University Aggies 64-59 Thursday afternoon in the Lone Star Conference Championship Tournament being held at the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas, to snap a streak of seven consecutive post season losses dating back to 2001. The win puts the Rams into the semi-finals where they will play Midwestern State University Friday for a chance to keep their Division-II NCAA Tournament hopes alive.

The game started off poorly for the Rams, who failed to score within the first seven minutes of play and turned the ball over four times, almost half of their game total, 10, within the first two minutes of the game. However, Angelo State settled down to lead the Aggies 24-15 at halftime, holding Cameron to just 19 percent shooting in the first half.

The second half saw the Rams come out on fire as they jumped to a 34-19 lead, the largest they would hold for the entire game, with 15 minutes left to play. The Aggies, however, did not go down without a fight. Cameron went on a 21-9 run over the next seven minutes, cutting the Rams 15-point lead to three by the eight minute mark.

Led by seniors Bryan Hammond and Kenny Williams with 22 and 21 points, the Rams hung tough down the stretch with the offense scoring when needed and the defense holding a talented Cameron backcourt to just 6 percent from 3 point range. The Rams withstood shooting just 63 percent from the free throw line, missing many key free throws late in the game, and scoring just nine points off the bench compared to Cameron’s 35.

The win put Angelo State at 19-8 on the season and keeps their hopes alive for an at-large berth into the NCAA Regional Tournament that starts next week.

The Rams tip off Friday at 2:30 pm CT in the Allen Event Center.

Now that we have discussed some of the basic principals of online digital advertising let’s get into the basic definitions that every business owner needs to know. The 1st definition is “Cost per Thousand” or “CPM”. Banner ads are not sold by the month; they are sold by a specific number of impressions. Every time a banner ad is displayed – this is called an “Impression”. These “Impressions” are generally sold in blocks of 1,000. So, CPM = Cost/1,000.

The next definition is “Click Through” & the “Click Through Rate” or “CTR”. When 1 potential customer “Clicks” on your banner ad, this creates a “1 Click Through”. A simple measurement “CTR” is # of Clicks/# of Impressions = the “Click Through Rate”.

The 3rd definition is the “Conversion”. When someone clicks on the banner and then goes to either a landing page (we can create this for you) or it can take the customer to your web site/Facebook page, etc. At his page (which ever one it is) – there needs to be an offer of some kind: Either a coupon, a discount, a call to action to come into your store, etc. There is a calculation to this as well; For everyone X # of Clickers “Converted” into X # of converted into Sales.

Each of these 3 definitions are touch points within your banner advertising strategy where you can measure, improve your digital media advertising buy and maximize your revenue. 

Stay tunes for our next Bannernomics Video 3: The Numbers/Math and for more in-depth info feel free to e-mail us at sales@sanangelolive.com

Now that we have reviewed the definitions, let’s get into the meat of Bannernomics – the actual numbers & math. Here is where we are going to see the 3 touch points; “CPM”, “CTR”, & the “Conversions” and how you can adjust these to based on real time measurements. This is the true advantage to advertising in a digital media space like San Angelo LIVE!

For the purpose of this example, we will start off with a hypothetical / typical digital buy (or 100,000 Banner Impressions). The national average for “CTR” or “Click Through Rate” is 0.10%. This equals 1 Click for every 1,000 Impressions. The National average for a conversion rate is 4%. So, 100,000 impressions X 0.10% CTR = 100 Clickers. The 100 Clickers X 4% Conversion Rate = 4 New Customers. Depending on your offer, these 4 customers “exited now” or “did what you asked them to do”.

The neat thing about Banner Advertising is these 3 touch points with your ads – all you have to do is focus on increasing 1 of these touch points and you can go from an average rate of return to great return on your investment on your digital ad. For example, go from the average 0.10% Click Through Rate to 1% and instead of just 4 new customers – now you have 40 new customers with the same amount of impressions(same cost of the ad) & the same 4% conversion rate on the ad.  

And this is Bannernomics! From all of us at San Angelo LIVE! - We hope you enjoyed this video series and for more information on how we can help your business grow, please e-mail us at sales@sanangelolive.com

It’s time to spring forward once again…if you still have real clocks in your home.

The cell phones many people now use for timepieces and alarm clocks update automatically so the main thing is to know that if you don’t’ adjust your sleep schedule this weekend you are likely to be late for work come Monday.

Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. we re-enter the 238-day period known as Daylight Saving Time and the change affects about one billion people worldwide, mostly in North America and Europe.

Before 1883 the practice in most places was to set their clocks to noon at whatever time the sun was directly overhead with periodic adjustments through the year. The advent of railroad operations lead to ‘standard time’ when rail companies agreed to coordinate their clocks and establish time zones across the country at the 75th, 90th, 105th and 120th meridians of west longitude making rail service more safe and reliable.  

Laws enacting daylight saving time were passed during wars to help conserve fuels and boost production by maximizing available daylight.

The first was the Standard Time Act of 1918, which established standard and daylight saving times and authorized the Interstate Commerce Commission to define time zones across America. The portion of the act dealing with daylight savings was repealed the following year. Daylight-saving time was brought back during World War II and was rescinded at war’s end.

Between 1945 and 1965 the law of the land was flexible on the matter of time changes; it left up to local jurisdictions to determine which policy to follow, and this arrangement proved troublesome for many interstate industries like broadcasting and transportation.

In 1966 Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which set the beginning date for DST as the last Sunday in April, and resuming standard time on the last Sunday in October. The act granted authority over the matter to the U.S. Department of Transportation, and several changes have been made through the decades.

The most recent change came from the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended DST by a month and took effect in 2007.

The 1966 Act made provisions for states to opt out of the time change, and this has created some unique situations.

Arizona, for instance, doesn’t bother fiddling with the clocks; but the Navajo Nation inside Arizona does, and inside the Navajo Tribe’s borders there is a Hopi Reservation where DST is not observed.

Some states have multiple time zones and this can lead to different problems.

Indiana had so many problems related to time zones and DST between 1949 and 2007 that they have an entire page on Wikipedia devoted to the subject.

Saskatchewan keeps Central Standard Time all year, but the rest Canada springs forward and falls  back along with three states in Australia, Chile, Uruguay, some parts of Brazil and one country in Africa (Namibia).

From our perspective the southern hemisphere people actually Spring Back and Fall Forward because the seasons are reversed for them.

Since the days on the equator are always 12 hours long the people who live across the middle of the globe have little use for the scheme.

About 86 percent of the world’s population is exempt from the time change.

Since it was first put in place DST has been criticized by parents because children have to walk to school in the dark, and twice a year the issue comes up for debate as folks question if it’s worth the hassle and how much energy is being saved.

31 Degrees North Latitude: Our Home Parallel

At this latitude the length of day changes through the year; from a maximum of 14 hours of daylight on June 21 to a minimum of 10 hours on December 21.

Other places on this latitude:

If you were to fly east nonstop on this line of latitude you would exit the United States over Brunswick Georgia. After crossing a broad stretch of the Atlantic Ocean you would then reach Algeria. To get home you would  have to cross through the airspace of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, The People’s Republic of China, Japan  and across the Pacific Ocean before making land again at Baja, Mexico and re-entering the U.S. near El Paso on your last leg home to San Angelo.

You would have travelled 21,560.6 miles; 3,340 miles fewer than if you had circled the equator.

Just past 11:30 p.m., a call for Medic 7 rang out over the radio. There was a major vehicle accident on Knickerbocker and Western Court, just in front of Johnny Carino’s Italian Restaurant.

There, a gray Toyota Camry had collided with a black Mazda compact car, disabling both vehicles. Females drove both vehicles and neither car appeared to have additional passengers.

On the scene, there were no major injuries, and the ambulance, Medic 7, was released.

The Camry appeared to have hit the Mazda in the passenger side rear wheel, and the driver would not get out of the car. Police and firemen talked and cajoled with her, but she wasn’t getting out. At one point, the driver could be seen talking on her cell phone as police and firemen stood by.

After approximately 15 minutes of this, the female finally got out of the vehicle with assistance. One police officer escorted her back to a patrol car. The driver, dressed to the nines in an orange dress, appeared to be stumbling and laughing. She was seated in the backseat of a patrol car, un-cuffed.

While Home Motors cleared the carnage from the street, one eastbound lane and the turn lane were blocked. Meanwhile, the driver of the Camry could be seen in the Carino’s parking lot taking a field sobriety test with a police officer. It didn’t appear that she was passing the test, and she was booked and put back inside the patrol car for a ride to the Tom Green County Jail.

The driver of the Mazda was picked up by family and did not appear to be hurt. But her Mazda was.

San Angelo Fire Department responded with an ambulance and pumper truck. There were up to four San Angelo Police teams tending to the accident throughout the investigation and cleanup.

City streets, a new police admin building, fire department, and multiple other currently unfunded capital improvement projects were discussed in a special evening City Council meeting Thursday, where the Council was presented with funding options and asked to define priorities.

The capital improvements plan for the next five years includes 74 projects that total approximately $311 million. Of those projects, 38 are presently funded through grants and other means; the remaining 38 are still open and a decision on funding options will be needed to in order to move forward. Those that are currently unfunded equate to a dollar amount of $111,287,214.

Morgan Chegwidden, Budget Manager for the City of San Angelo, introduced the funded and unfunded projects to Council, which was followed up by a presentation of four funding options given by City Finance Director Tina Bunnell.

Examples of Unfunded City of San Angelo Projects:

The first three options Bunnell presented involve the City issuing debt at varying intervals over different time spans, which will be paid using property tax within an 8-10 cent range. Eight cents of property tax has continually been used to pay for debt, Bunnell says, and the City’s objective in the proposals was to not put any extra burden on taxpayers. Additionally, staff considered a few main priorities when putting the proposals together, including streets and police and fire stations.

“In all of the proposals…we’ve included $5 million for a potential police station rehabilitation, $2.5 million for the fire station, and it will be between $1.4 and 2.2 million dollars for the fire training center…that will be funded by $200,000 a year in ambulance fees,” Bunnell began her presentation.

“One of the keys here is the uncertainty associated with the police department facility,” Chief Financial Officer Michael Dane added. “A few year back when we started this plan, we put $5 milllion in there. The $5 million was never intended to create a new facility, it was very much a number to put at a remodeling effort. We didn’t have enough information to have certain direction on that, but we didn’t want to ignore the project completely, so we left $5 million in there like the plan had originally.”

None of the proposals are designed to function exclusively with selected projects over others, however streets have been the number one complaint citywide, Dane said, and is a likely priority for Council when selecting projects to tackle in the coming months and years.

In proposing funding, Bunnell’s first option is to issue $40 million in debt at staggered intervals of 2 years, at $8 million per issue.

“The advantages of that is that it would stretch your payments and your money over time, and for a project like streets this might be a good option, because we can’t initiate and complete projects immediately,” she said. “It takes time to complete them anyway. This option could be paid for with existing capacity initially; in about 10 years or so, we would have to find a penny somewhere within the tax rate.”

Dane added that the City could grow into it and not need the penny, but that staff kept their assumptions conservative when drafting the proposals. 

Fleming was concerned that issuing so much debt might handicap the city when it comes to other upcoming projects, such as those pertaining to water.

“When rating agencies reviewed San Angelo in the past, one of the consistent comments was ‘relatively low debt loader,’” Dane said. “A couple of things have happened in the past few years. We issued $120 million worth of bonds for the Hickory project and the school district has issued some bonds for their capital plan. That has gotten the attention of the rating agencies and now they talk about—they don’t say we have a high debt load, but when we say in addition to that we’re working on a long-term water supply, we’re working on a streets strategy and we’ve got these smaller issues we’re working on, a fire station and we’ve got the possibility of a police station—they begin to say this debt load could become something that gets our attention.” It’s all about how much is too much and what the City’s commitment is to paying debts.

Dane said that getting the attention of rating agencies is not necessarily bad, but that as debt loads increase, they want to see that the City is more actively managing or responsive to negative economic conditions. “For example, a couple of meetings back, Tina did a presentation where she talked about the financial stress that she’s seeing in the water operating fund financials because we’re not selling as much water as we usually do. That’s good management. It’s good management that she and Ricky (Dickson) spotted it, they’re working on budget issues associated with it…the rating agencies want active management like that,” he said.

After Dane finished explaining the situation, Bunnell presented option two, which is essentially the same concept as the first, however increases the debt issue to $50 million at two-year intervals, with $10 million per issue. Again, Bunnell listed the advantage of stretching payments over time, however noted that it would require additional funds for payment. “We cannot do this within existing capacity,” she said. “It would require two cents to fund this one.”

In the past, 10 cents from the property taxes were allocated to debt payments, however a few years ago, two cents were moved into cash, pay-as-you-go-type capital, Dane explained. Those cents would need to come back within 3-4 years if the second option was chosen.

Charlotte Farmer was concerned about the necessity of future water purchases and how the debt issues might affect those needs. “If we had four $10 million issues out there, I would think that that would harm us whenever we made application—even to the state rainy day fund—to assist us with our water needs if we have this much debt outstanding out there,” she said. “I’m just throwing up caution.”

Dane said that to the effect the debt can affect the rating agencies’ opinion, it can affect the interest rate the City pays. He reiterated that the option was the same as the previous one, but it’s just pushing a bit harder to get something done for the streets.

“Show us something good on option three,” Mayor Dwain Morrison said.

“Ok,” Bunnell responded, then introduced option three as a lump sum issue of $30 million. “The good thing with that is that you get all the money up front. It would be good for…a big project like a complete new police station or something like that. The disadvantage to that is that we don’t have a plan in place for that, so we’d be paying interest on debt that we can’t really do anything with yet,” she said. “This could actually be paid for with existing capacity.”

The payback on the third option would take 27-28 years, Bunnell said. The last option was a pay-as-you-go option, in which debt service money would be put into a cash plan to be used on projects when funds are available. The advantage would be that there would be no debt issued, however in order to fund a project the City would have to wait for years for the funds to accrue—to save up—before they could start anything. Inflation may also mean that the value of the savings would decrease, forcing the City tp put asside greater and greater amounts, thus extending the period before the project could be started.

“That looks like $1.6 million initially, for about five or six years, gradually increase to about $1.9 million by the 15th year, after that, it’s about $3 million. So for the first few years you’re at less than $2 million a year in cash that you could use towards street projects, whatever project you want to use it for. You’re limited here.”

One of the main street projects is a reconstruction of Bell Street from the Concho River to Old Ballinger Highway. That project alone is priced at $8.4 million. In order to start the project, which has city staff and some council members say is a high priority, it would take five or six years of savings.

In total, street-related projects total $157 million, however high priority projects that need to be completed within the next five years fall at approximately $35 million. The remaining sum is for street issues proposed to be addressed beyond a five-year period.

Having given Council several options, Dane provided relief by saying that a decision was not needed immediately. The issue had been whether or not it was possible to rehabilitate a number of streets within a 7-10 year range, he said. “I think what you’re seeing here is that is possible. It becomes a question of ‘How do we do that?’ and obviously, it’s got to be a priority of Council to step into additional debt,” Dane said.

As the City population continues to grow, changes may have to be made to the City’s storm water plan, tasked with cleaning up water that after rainfall flows into our rivers, lakes and streams. City Operations Director Shane Kelton came before City Council at a special evening meeting Thursday to update on what has been done since the storm water plan was implemented, as well as discuss things that will need to be considered for the future.

The City’s storm water plan stems from a set of clean water acts passed in the ‘70s and ‘80s. In 1987, a water quality act was passed that mandated municipalities begin cleaning storm water that flows down city streets into other tributaries, Kelton explained. The requirements were rough and didn’t really provide many guidelines, so the City paired with the Upper Colorado River Authority and engineering firm Freese and Nichols to develop a master plan.

“We built our plan to what we thought would be the minimum standards that we have to do to meet the minimum standards of the state,” Kelton said. “Once we built that plan, we didn’t have any way to pay for it, so to pay for it we created the storm water fees that people see on their water bills.”

The storm water fees citizens pay are tiered and based upon size of impervious surface. Those in larger dwellings and in large commercial structures pay more than those in smaller buildings.

Presently, the storm water department is responsible for various engineering, maintenance, capital improvements and other projects that affect the waterways throughout the city. Regular operations include mowing 326 acres of land, cleaning storm drains and street sweeping some 1,050 curb miles annually, accounting for 4,000 tons of collected rubbish.

The storm water department additionally has completed several projects, including stabilization and erosion prevention, as well as conduit repair and culvert replacement on several streets throughout the city.  Capital improvement projects such as riverbank stabilization on the Concho, the Ave. P. project and the Red Arroyo walking trail are also tied to the storm water department.

Despite the long list of responsibilities, Council members have received complaints from citizens who wish to know what the fees are being used for.

“I referred to the minutes of City Council on 2-19-2008 and in those minutes, in a presentation that was given to us about storm water…Mr. Dickson talked about erosion and the underground gutters that needed to be repaired since the implementation of storm water fees,” Councilwoman Charlotte Farmer said. “In there it said that at that time y’all had identified 42 locations…and that those 42 locations need to be addressed immediately because of public safety and property damage…I am curious as to…how many of those 42, since the implementation of storm water fees, have been repaired…” she said, noting that it was stated the department needs $2-4 million per year for operations.

“Some people say that in the 2013 Census San Angelo came in a 93,200 people with 36, 117 households and 22,910 of those are families…at a minimum, 22,000 people paying $4 in storm water fees…that’s $88,000 a month coming in for storm water fees,” Farmer continued. “That does not include any commercial business. The fees based upon the minimum we should get is 1,056,000 per year…What people are complaining about is not seeing any storm water repair. Where has the money gone?”

Farmer noted that she was aware equipment was needed to begin operations, but had heard from several in her district that hadn’t noticed any storm water clean up or maintenance being done.  She also mentioned that she had seen several expenses, including $1.012 million for salaries come out of storm water.

“What doesn’t sit well with the citizens is when the storm water pickups that are the nicest pickups in the world…but they’re the double cab, dual cab, nice, big, fancy pickups and they don’t see that as maintaining and cleaning up storm water,” she said. “I’m not picking on you, I’m not picking on Ricky [Dickson], I’m just telling you that’s what I’m hearing.”

Kelton responded that there have been some changes as to how the salaries are paid that affect the figure Farmer named. He also stated that equipment was a large expense, and includes things such as tractors and shredders, a backhoe, pickups and street sweepers.  Because a lot of the projects deal with underground components, the work done may only be apparent while it’s in progress and not so obvious after completion. Kelton said he would work with the City’s public information office to get more of that information out to the public.

The City of San Angelo is currently a class three municipality, a classification administered on the basis of population. If the population rises to 100,000, the city will move into  City of Currently, San Angelo is a class three municipality, but will move into class four, which will require extensive preparation on behalf of the City and the storm water department, Kelton advised Council Thursday.

“As we move over 100,000 population, our storm water event monitoring, the actual inspection of construction projects, construction sites, industrial sites, those kinds of things are going to have to pick way up,” Kelton said. “Those are just some of the quick things we’ve seen as we’ve been able to view the new state permit for the class four cities. We’ve started to review the requirements for that next level and we haven’t had a whole lot of time to do that honestly, but we’ve started into it and those are some of the things that we see that we know we’re going to have to step up on.”

Kelton said that they will have to start allocating more time to planning for the transition, as population estimates are indicating a high possibility of the population rising as we move into the mid-term Census. 

With the possible population increase, change of classification and additional responsibilities, it could be that storm water will need to raise its fees. Whether or not additional funding will be necessary remains to be seen and a decision to raise the fees rests predominantly with Council. Kelton says he will have a better idea of what a class change would mean when he has more time to look into the differences.  Those findings will be presented to Council at a later date.

A gold Toyota Corolla ran into the backyard fence after its driver was cut-off by a black Chrysler Caravan at the 110 block of Koenigheim (U.S. 277 North),

The Corolla was in the inside lane and the Caravan was in the second-to-inside lane when the Caravan driver decided it also wanted to be in the inside lane (with the Corolla).

More than likely, the Caravan, with the cavernous back seating compartment creating a blind spot, obscured the driver’s view of the gold Corolla, and the Caravan changed lanes.

The Corolla driver, who was described as a 79-year-old woman, took evasive action, and hit the cross street’s curb at cruising speed, taking the street sign marking the intersection of Ave. H and Koenigheim with her. The Corolla continued northwest on the grass, hitting a tree stump, spinning 90 degrees and into the backyard fence of a residence there.

The driver of the Corolla was taken by ambulance to the hospital with non-incapacitating injuries. “She’ll probably be sore and have some bruising,” said the driver’s daughter who arrived to take care of her mother’s belongings. The Corolla driver was the sole occupant.

The Caravan was not hit or damaged. But the driver of the Caravan should be commended for stopping and rendering aid and information.

“There’ll be no citations tonight. That’s why they’re called accidents,” said investigating San Angelo Police Officer Welch.
