EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
As we continue to refine and develop our Strategic Plan, staff will report on the performance
measures that were reviewed with the Council in 2014. The measures are designed to capture
our progress on each strategic objective within our Tier One strategy map and provide us with
valuable data to help guide our budgeting and planning efforts. Having recently presented the
budget and the corresponding financial information for the final quarter and the new fiscal year,
we did not include the same information in this report.
Page 1 of 2
The current measures will be continually reviewed and modified to collect the best data possible
for Council review. As mentioned during our budget retreat, staff has recently attended a week-
long performance measurement workshop and will be working with our objective owners to
gather historical information to help us identify any trending data and establish a baseline for
performance. A combination of both operational, intermediate and outcome based measures are
routinely gathered and will be presented to Council. We will also review the existing (approved)
measures to determine if we need to expand our report in the coming fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
Town staff previously presented information regarding a public smoking ordinance to Council at
the Town Council Workshops on June 15, 2015 and on August 25, 2015.
Staff has developed a communication plan that will include information regarding the new
smoking ordinance on our website (with a timely spotlight on the homepage), post on Town
social media sites, feature in upcoming Westlake Wire and WA Communique emails, and also
include in an upcoming Simply Westlake issue. We will also be working with our corporate
stakeholders to develop a communication plan specific to their campus.
The attached draft smoking ordinance for Council review and discussion is based on Council
direction to prohibit smoking in the Town's parks/trails and within 25' of an entrance to any
public building and is proposed to go into effect January 1, 2016.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
Over the past several months, staff has been working with Centurion American regarding plans
to develop a portion of property within Westlake, immediately north of the Southlake Meadows
subdivision that is currently under construction, referred to as Westlake Meadows. Based on
discussions between Westlake and Southlake staff regarding Westlake Meadows' unorthodox
layout, a boundary adjustment to bring in the approximate 8.8 acres into the City of Southlake
would result in a better planned development and more efficient service delivery.
There are several challenges that merit a boundary adjustment:
• The physical layout does not provide direct access for Town of Westlake
emergency response and may add to confusion for future residents that may
believe they are in Southlake during emergency or non-emergency situaitons.
Page 1 of 2
• The developer will have to install redundant infrastructure in order for the 9 lots
to be served by Town of Westlake utilities and would add unmetered sanitary
sewer flows and complicate utility service provisions between both municipalities
as well as potentially creating confusion for future residents.
• The impact of additional 9 lots to Westlake Academy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
The Town of Westlake Personnel Manual is a document requiring continual updates based on
legislative changes, best practices, and organizational needs. The recommended updates include
the amending two policies, and the addition of one new policy.
Recommended Policy Amendments
The first amendment pertains to our Inclement Weather Policy. In FY 14/15, the Town
experienced usual weather events, requiring more early closures and delayed openings than in
previous years. Multiple occurrences of these weather events within a single workweek created
questions among staff, primarily for hourly employees. It was determined that the current
Inclement Weather Policy needed to be more specific in order to address similar occurrences in
the future. The proposed policy addresses early closure and late openings, in addition to days
when Town Hall is closed for a full day.
The second amendment pertains to our Sick Leave Policy. The current policy includes the
criteria required for payout of sick time upon termination of employment. The only
recommended change to this policy is to add the definition of"retirement,"which is contained in
Termination of Employment section of the manual. Including the definition to the Sick Leave
policy adds clarity; as the definition will not need to be referenced elsewhere in the manual.
Recommended Policy Addition
Breaks for Expression of Breast Milk: This new policy addresses the provisions of HB 786 and the
Fair Labor Standards Act,which mandates government employers to reasonably accommodate the
needs of employees who express breast milk. This policy was added to the Westlake Academy
Personnel Manual in August 2015.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.

Exhibit "A"
(Additions are shown in blue, deletions are shown in red)
BREAKS FOR EXPRESSION OF BREAST MILK
The Town of Westlake will make reasonable accommodations for the needs of employees who express
breast milk. A place, other than a multiple user bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from
intrusion from other employees and the public where the employee can express breast milk will be
provided.
A reasonable amount of break time will be provided when the employee has a need to express milk. For
nonexempt employees, these breaks are unpaid and are not counted as hours worked. Employees
should meet with their supervisor to discuss their needs and arrange break times.
BREAKS FOR EXPRESSION OF BREAST MILK (AMENDED POLICY)
Payment shall be made for accruals of unused earned sick leave upon retirement or death of the
employee. Under this policy, retirement is defined as termination initiated by the employee who has
fulfilled the age and years of service requirements under TMRS. Payment is contingent provided
the employee has completed twelve (12) months of employment with the Town and has not been
discharged as a result of criminal or civil misconduct involving Town property, personnel, or official
position. Payment of unused sick leave in other circumstances is to be made only if approved in
advance by the Town Manager.
INCLEMENT WEATHER (AMENDED POLICY)
During periods of bad weather, civil disorder, or natural disaster, the Town Manager may allow
employees Inclement Weather Leave. Employees unable to arrive at work shall receive one day of pay at
the employee's regular hourly rate with no loss of benefits.
If the Town Manager authorizes late arrival or early dismissal, employees shall receive their regular rate
of pay for a full day during the hours of authorized closure. Inclement weather hours will not count as
time worked under FLSA.
Time sheets for bad weather days authorized by the Town Manager shall be recorded as follows:
Employees who do not come to work due to the bad weather should record 8W on the time sheet.
Employees who came to work despite the bad weather should document the day worked with his or
her supervisor. The employee will then be eligible for an additional day of Personal Leave to be
taken on a date of the employee's choice. The employee will be paid for all hours worked in
addition to receiving inclement weather pay, not to exceed eight(8) hours per day when combined.
If an employee exceeds eight(8) combined hours, the excess number of hours will be added to the
employee's Personal Leave bank. Supervisor approval is required for non-exempt employees who
work during hours when closure has been authorized.
Example#1: Delayed opening at 10am, employee works from 10am—4pm
Employees will record 2 Inclement Weather hours for the delayed opening, and 6
regular hours on their time sheet.
Resolution 15-28
Page 3 of 4
Example#2: Delayed opening at 11 am, employee works from 9am—5pm
In this example, Town Hall opened three hours late, and the employee worked
two additional hours. The employee will record 3 Inclement Weather hours and 8
regular hours on their time sheet. Since this equals 11 hours, the employee will
receive pay for eight hours worked, and three hours will be added to their
Personal Leave Bank.
Example#3: Early closure at 2 pm, employee works from 9am—3pm
In this example, Town Hall closed three hours early, and the employee worked
one additional hour. The employee will record 3 Inclement Weather hours and 6
regular hours on their time sheet. Since this equals 9 (nine) hours, the employee
will receive pay for eight hours (6 hours worked and two Inclement Weather
hours). One hour will be added to their Personal Leave Bank.
Example#4: Town Hall is closed, employee works from 9am —5pm
In this example, Town Hall is closed for the entire day, and the employee worked
eight hours. The employee will record 8 Inclement Weather hours and 8 regular
hours on their timesheet. The employee will receive pay for eight hours worked,
and eight hours will be added to their Personal Leave Bank.
If an employee attended a scheduled training class, it should be verified that the facility was not
closed on the bad weather day and the employee did attend. The time should be recorded as actual
time worked.
In the interest of safety, Department Heads may authorize later arrival or earlier dismissal times for
employees affected by certain factors (travel distance, specific road conditions, etc.)
These guidelines do not apply to Firefighters who work 24 hour shifts.

Funding Amount: $390,852 Status - ® Funded Source - General Fund
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
In September 2015, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain a wide variety of
options that would be evaluated based on our financial capacity and our desire to provide a good
health plan for our employees. We received bids from our current broker with options from four
carriers, and one bid from the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool. Bids were
analyzed and used input from our 2014 employee benefit survey to determine the best selection.
Factors that were considered included the following:
• Overall cost(employer and employee)
• Coverage for major items and preventative care
• Network of providers to ensure accessibility
• Schedule of Plan benefits
• Stability/experience of the company providing the insurance
• Out-of-pocket expense exposure
The Senior Leadership Team recently met to discuss three (3) comparable plan options. Options
considered included plans from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, and Scott & White. The bid
from TML was not considered due to a calculation error on their part, resulting in very high
costs. The team felt it was important to maintain a proper balance between providing the best
coverage that meets our needs while exercising fiscal responsibility during the selection process.
The bid from Blue Cross/Blue Shield reflected a rate increase of 10%. After review of this bid
and those from other carriers, staff recommends continuing with Blue Cross/Blue Shield as our
health insurance provider with a dual-option HMO/PPO plan, as well as continuing to offer
flexible spending accounts (employee funded) for eligible out-of-pocket expenses. The
approximate annual cost of the health insurance plan is $390,852 for the Town, and is 5% less
than estimates included in the FY 15/16 budget. The total annual estimated cost of the plan
including employee dependent contributions is $483,216.
Additionally, it is recommended that the health insurance plan year be moved from November 1St
of each year to January 1St. This would align our plan year with the same calendar year used for
deductibles and cafeteria plan expenses. Additionally, it would reduce the administrative burden
for ACA (Affordable Care Act) reporting. A second RFP has been issued for a January 1 plan
year, and any recommended plan changes will require a 30-day notice to our carrier, and Council
approval at the November 2015 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve renewal of the current health insurance plan with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, effective
November 1, 2015.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
This adopted twelve (12) month economic development grant agreement includes both the "Shuttle
Bus Transportation Cost" as well as the "Incentive Program". This was the sixth consecutive year
that the Town has partnered with the Marriott Solana Hotel regarding the "Incentive Program".
Prior to this, the Town participated in only the Hotel's shuttle bus system costs.
Based on Council recommendation, the original Group Business Incentive Program amount of
$50,000 is proposed to be increased by $5,500 which reflects the remaining budgeted funds that
were unused from FY 2014-2015. Per conversations with the Marriott Solana manager, these
Page 1 of 2
additional funds will help when there are timing issues related to proposals that are offered but not
yet accepted when another opportunity arises.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of the amended Economic Development Agreement with Marriott Solana
approving the additional funds for the "Group Business Incentive Program".

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY)
Over the past several months, staff has been working with Centurion American regarding plans
to develop a portion of property within Westlake, immediately north of the Southlake Meadows
subdivision that is currently under construction, referred to as Westlake Meadows. Based on
discussions between Westlake and Southlake staff regarding Westlake Meadows' unorthodox
layout, a boundary adjustment to bring in the approximate 8.8 acres into the City of Southlake
would result in a better planned development and more efficient service delivery.
There are several challenges that merit a boundary adjustment:
• The physical layout does not provide direct access for Town of Westlake
emergency response and may add to confusion for future residents that may
believe they are in Southlake during emergency or non-emergency situaitons.
Page 1 of 2
• The developer will have to install redundant infrastructure in order for the 9 lots
to be served by Town of Westlake utilities and would add unmetered sanitary
sewer flows and complicate utility service provisions between both municipalities
as well as potentially creating confusion for future residents.
• The impact of additional 9 lots to Westlake Academy

Recommend approval of the proposed ordinance.
