INTRODUCTORY SECTION
Town of Westlake
February 15, 2013
Honorable Mayor, Council Members and the Citizens of the Town of Westlake,
The Town of Westlake (the "Town") Fiscal and Budgetary Policies require that the Town's Finance
Department prepare a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the Town of Westlake, Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2012, is hereby issued.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Town.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making representations, the
Town established a comprehensive internal control framework that was designed both to protect the
Town's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the
preparation of the Town's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Town's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatements. As management, we assert that, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The Town's financial statements have been audited by Pattillo, Brown and Hill LLP, Independent
Certified Public Accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance
that the financial statements of the Town for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, were free of
material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a
reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the Town's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The
independent auditors'report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
This report is presented in three sections: Introductory, Financial and Statistical. The Introductory
Section includes this transmittal letter, a listing of Town Officials, and an organizational chart of the
Town. The Financial Section includes the independent auditor's report on the basic financial
statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), basic financial statements, the notes to
3 Village Circle 4202 •Westlake,Texas 76262
Metro: 817-430-0941 •Fax: 817-430-1812 •www.westlake-tx.org
i
the basic financial statements, and combining and individual fund statements and schedules. The
MD&A is a narrative introduction, containing overview and analysis to accompany the basic
financial statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement, and should be read in
conjunction with the MD&A. The Town of Westlake's MD&A can be found immediately following
the independent auditor's report. The Statistical Section includes financial and demographic
information relevant to readers of the Town's financial statements. The statistical data is generally
presented on a multi-year basis.
Profile of the Town
Minutes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas and DFW
International Airport, the Town of Westlake is home to r ar
several upscale residential communities and Fortune 500 Wes ake yk 114 635
companies, all of which share a unique character and 35 377
charm, along with a commitment to excellence. The - 820 �� ��
ss
Town is located in northeast Tarrant County and may be
conveniently accessed by several major thoroughfares, --�-" Qrilarth Dallas
including SH 114 and US 377. The Town occupies
approximately 7 square miles and serves a population of approximately 1,014 with an average
appraised home value of$1.2 million.
The Town, incorporated in 1956, is considered a Type A general-law municipality. The Town
operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The Council is comprised of a mayor and
five (5) council members and is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the
budget, appointing committees, and hiring the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for
carrying out the policies and ordinances of the Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of
the Town and appointing and supervising heads of various departments. The Mayor and Town
Council members serve two (2) year terms. All elected officials are elected at-large.
The financial reporting entity (the government) includes all funds of the primary government (i.e. the
Town of Westlake), as well as all of its component units. Component units are legally separate
entities for which the primary government is financially accountable. The following entities are
considered blended component units:
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the
Town to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's duly
constituted authority and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing
body, is comprised of seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing
body.
4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the
Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town
and the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote
and encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing,
implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B
of the Act. The board of directors is composed of seven persons appointed by the members of the
Town's governing board. Four of the members of the board of directors are members of the Town's
governing board.
ii
Westlake Academy (Academy) is an open-enrollment charter school, as provided by Subchapter D,
Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake ("Charter Holder") applied for and
became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special charter designation. The Academy
had 520 students in FY 10-11 and serves Kindergarten thru 12th grade. The Academy graduated their
first class in FY 09-10. The Board consists of six (6) trustees and is appointed by the Town's
governing body. Currently, all members of the board of trustees are members of the Town's
governing body. The Academy's year-end is August 31.
Discretely presented component units are legally separate entities and not part of the primary
government's operations. These component units are as follows: Texas Student Housing Authority-
Ballpark Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas Project,
Texas Student Housing Authority-Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Authority-
College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Authority.
Services Provided
The Town provides to its citizens those services that have proven to be necessary and meaningful and
which the Town can provide for the least amount of cost. Major services provided under the general
government and enterprise functions are: Fire and emergency medical services, police, water and
sewer utility services, park and recreational facilities, street improvements, education and
administrative services. The Town utilizes a combination of direct service delivery along with out-
sourced services in its service delivery mix. The decision as to which service to deliver directly
versus out-sourcing is based on analysis of cost-effectiveness, citizen responsiveness, and customer
service quality.
Economic Conditions and Outlook
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader perspective of the environment within which the Town operates.
Local Economy
While we clearly understand the nation as a whole continues to try and recover from the economic
downturn, the Town remains committed to budgeting and forecasting projections based on a fiscally
conservative formula. We have accomplished many great things this past year through our use of
partnerships and inventive strategies to govern our community. We have begun the process of
reinvesting in our infrastructure and will continue to do so over the next several years — paying
special attention to unique cost sharing opportunities, both public and private. Our overall goal is to
provide our residents with a living experience that is second-to-none.
The Town staff is aware that the Town of Westlake does not create wealth, but instead, is entrusted
with public dollars collected on behalf of our citizens. We are stewards who are fully vested in the
success of the Town of Westlake and Westlake Academy. We exist as a municipal corporation for
one reason and one reason only: to prioritize and deliver the best services possible with the resources
provided to achieve an exceptional quality of life. This is a challenge the Staff takes very seriously,
one that we pursue with vigor every day. Below, please find the milestones and strategic priorities
that were achieved during FY 11-12:
iii
• The Westlake Town Council received the award for "Council of the Year" from the Texas
City Managers Association. This honor recognizes those governing bodies that have a
demonstrated commitment to ethical service, put the welfare of the citizens above personal
gain, function well as a governance unit, support staff professional development, and
positively impact their community. The award nomination outlined the difficult ad valorem
property tax decision, the continuing commitment to professional management and
development, and the Westlake Town Council's ability to work together in difficult situations.
This is a great honor and recognition for your commitment to Westlake. Congratulations!
• Received the International City/County Managers Association Community Sustainability
Program Excellence Award for Westlake Windows: Transparent Government in Focus
(TGIF). The category recognizes those communities who have shown a commitment to
"innovation, excellence, and success in balancing that community's social, economic,
environmental, and cultural needs". (ICMA). We submitted the award with an emphasis on
our communication efforts as it related to financial sustainability, transparency with capital
improvement efforts, neighborhood meetings, Westlake e-Tube, website redevelopment,
email newsletters, and other forms of community outreach programs.
• Completed the first full year of operations for our Communications & Community Affairs
office. Additional notifications and a streamlining of our community outreach was completed
through the use of electronic email "mini-newsletters" which have allowed us to provide
Westlake residents with more timely and relevant Westlake-related material on a bi-weekly
(or more often, if needed) basis. Our Communications Office also assisted in preparation of
materials for Westlake Academy to enhance our faculty recruitment and prospective parent
outreach. These materials included:
o Teacher recruitment brochures
o Marketing brochures
o Parent prospectus covering our school's three (3) IB curriculums
• The Town's previous strategic planning document was restructured from a traditional format
to a comprehensive governance system which we call the Strategic Issues-focused
Governance System (SIGS). The system follows a Balanced Scorecard format with a four-
tiered strategy map, an issues-focused set of staff action items, outcome strategies that align
with our community value statements and a program based budget allocation.
• Continued implementation of the Town Council's approved Five (5) Year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). The public / private partnership between Hillwood Properties and
the Town for Dove Road improvements will be finalized by mid-August.
• The Stagecoach Hills roadwork project is now completed, marking the end of a 3 year
program to upgrade that subdivisions drainage, water distribution, and street systems.
• Construction on the State's $15 Million Phase 1 FM 1938 (Davis Blvd.) project was
completed in the fall of 2012. This completed project provides a section of four-lane and a
section of six-lane divided roadway to facilitate north/south mobility. Work has begun on the
Town Council-approved streetscaping plan (contained in our CIP) to help identify this new
and significant entry point and corridor for our community. We anticipate this phase of
enhancements to be completed by mid-summer 2013 with the next phase beginning in fall
2013.
iv
• Invested significant time and effort in pursuing development of a facility plan for Westlake
Academy, a process that is still underway.
• Deloitte University opened for full operation in October 2011 and has been an overwhelming
success. While being built, it was the largest ($300 million) private construction project in
Texas. It serves as Deloitte's state-of-the art national and international learning center for its
employees bringing Deloitte employees to Westlake from all over the world.
• What began as retail construction in FY10-11 came to fruition in FY11-12 with the opening of
the new Quik Trip convenience store and the Centennial Fine Wine and Spirits store. This is
Westlake's first retail development outside of Solana. It is located along the Town's western
boundary at the northwest corner of SH170 and SH377 and has already had a positive impact
on our sales and use tax collection rates.
• In FYI 1-12 the Town neared completion of the implementation of a development agreement
with Hillwood Properties whereby, as a part of commitments Hillwood had for development
of Deloitte University, they invested $4.6 million in street improvements on Westlake's major
roadways- Dove Road and JT Ottinger Road.
• Westlake was recognized again by Forbes Magazine as one of the wealthiest communities in
the United States, with a median household income of$250,000. Our community shared this
spotlight with Chevy Chase, MD, a city of twice our population size. The article mentioned
Westlake's small town feel, limited population, and also touched on many of our high-profile
residents.
• Westlake's Historic Preservation Society implemented their historic markers program with the
first marker being located at the former Buck King homestead at Aspen and Pearson Lanes.
The Society also held their first classic car show which was a major success both in terms of
collector participation and attendance.
• The Town's open enrollment charter school, Westlake Academy, finished its ninth year of
operations with another strong showing of academic and extra-curricular results by our
students. This year's graduating class had an overall 89% success rate in obtaining the
prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma and the 28 graduates were offered
collectively over $3.5 million in scholarships and grants. The Academy's enrollment
continues to grow with a preliminary number of 675 students enrolled for 2012-13 School
Year.
• Westlake Academy was also ranked among the best high schools in America. U.S. News &
World Report ranked the school as 37th in the nation, 5th in Texas and 6th in national charter
schools. They further designated the Academy as a Gold Medal recipient. Newsweek listed
the school as the 18th best high school in the United States and the Washington Post shows
them as 36th out of 1,800 schools across the nation.
Sales tax collections decreased by 20% for FY 11-12. This reduction was primarily caused by a 67%
decrease ($900K) in revenues due to collections based on an economic development agreement. The
primary source of these funds was due to the construction phase of Deloitte University, which was
nearing completion at the end of the prior year. The "base" sales tax revenues remained flat with an
increase of$1OK when compared with FY 10-11.

Long-Term Financial Outlook
The Town of Westlake has developed a comprehensive capital improvements document as well as a
multi-year strategic plan. Such strategic planning assists both the Council and staff in establishing
priorities and allocating resources appropriately.
Financial forecasts are used by the Town to identify important warning "sign posts" that should not
be ignored. Beginning in FY 09-10, as the nation's economic recession reduced Westlake's primary
revenue source of sales tax, we began using a thematic approach to bring focus to the major issue or
issues for that particular budget. That year's budget theme was "Critical Challenges, Critical
Choices", intending to signal the need for meaningful community-wide dialogue as to how Westlake
would come to grips with its vision, as well as an associated financial future. We fostered this
dialogue using primarily meetings in every Westlake neighborhood, our electronic newsletter, email
blasts, focus group meetings, and placing extensive financial information about the Town's financial
sustainability challenges on our website.
In FY 10-11 the budget theme was "Securing the Vision". The focus of that budget's theme was to
progress from the FY 09-10 discussions, and seek viable solutions to Westlake's challenge of
becoming financially sustainable. Ultimately, this resulted in the Town Council adopting a $.16010
per $100 of assessed valuation municipal property tax rate. This is the lowest property tax rate of any
city in our area, but it stabilized the General Fund's downward fund balance trend and has allowed us
to begin dealing with our road infrastructure.
Decisions in FYI 0-11 led to the FY 2011-12 budget theme of "Investing in Our Future". This was
because assessment of a small property tax has given us the ability to invest in the improvement of
roadways and other infrastructure projects that will provide tremendous benefits to our residents and
businesses over the next several years. In addition to the Town funded capital projects plan, Staff has
worked hard to identify and secure infrastructure funding through public/private and inter-local
funding partnerships, along with grant funding, to minimize the impact to our tax rate and General
Fund while providing high-quality infrastructure. The results of the utilization of these non-Town
resources to the benefit of Westlake can be seen in:
vi
• Construction of FM 1938/Davis Blvd, a $15 million dollar project funded primarily by State
and Federal dollars
• Dove Road/Pearson Lane intersection improvements, a new north entrance to Westlake
Academy, as well as the Dove and J. T. Ottinger Road upgrades funded primarily by a $4.6
million dollar development agreement with Hillwood Properties.
• Landscaping of the medians on the soon to be completed FM 1938/Davis Blvd. project will be
funded by a $670,000 Green Belt grant from TxDOT which helps us offset the associated costs
for the streetscaping of this important north/south corridor.
The selection of any budget theme is intended to bring into focus how resources are recommended to
be prioritized and used in order to take the next step in achieving or creating our vision, mission and
community values for Westlake. Over the history of our Town, budgets have been prepared with an
eye toward being fiscally conservative, while providing for the highest quality of customer service
that our residential population has come to expect in Westlake.
In that light, the FY 2012-13 theme of"Driving Service Excellence" focuses on providing resources
that will improve our ability to deliver excellent customer service, something that is integral to
maintaining Westlake's quality of life and its status as a one-of-a-kind community.
Users of this document, as well as others interested in the programs and services offered by the Town
of Westlake, are encouraged to read the Town's Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Budget. The budget details
the Town's long-term goals and financial policies, and describes program accomplishments and
initiatives.
Other Information
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States of America and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Town of Westlake
for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
This was the fifth year the Town has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
In addition, we also received our fifth GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2011 for our municipal budget and the 3rd year for our educational
services budget for Westlake Academy, a component unit of the Town. In order to qualify for the
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the Town and Academy budget documents had to be
judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications
device.
vii
Westlake Academy has also received recognition from the Association of School Business Officials
International as a recipient of the International Award for Budget Excellence for the past three years.
The Finance Department received its first Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) converting much
of the FY 2010-2011 audit document into an easy-to-read format for our residents. The goal is to
encourage resident awareness as it relates to Town finances through the condensed version of the
budget. The report provides an "overview of our financial position and policies, and conveys our
commitment to delivering responsive services and programs in a fiscally responsible manner."
Acknowledgements
The preparation of this report could not be accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services
of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Appreciation is expressed to Town employees
throughout the organization, especially those employees who were instrumental in the successful
completion of this report.
The staff would also like to thank the Mayor and Town Council for their conservative leadership and
their support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the Town in a responsible and
progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Town Council
Town of Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of
the Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which
collectively comprise the Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's management. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of the Town as of
September 30, 2012, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
February 15, 2013, on our consideration of the Town's internal control over financial reporting and
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grants and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
the internal control over our financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of
an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in
conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis, the analysis of funding progress and budgetary comparison
information on pages 3 through 14 and 67 through 74 be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the
basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Town of Westlake, Texas' financial statements as a whole. The
introductory section, individual fund budgetary analysis schedules and statistical section are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The
individual fund budgetary analysis schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived
from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Town of Westlake is pleased to present this overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Town for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of
transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the Town exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$29,857,712 (Net assets). This number must be viewed within the context that the vast
majority of the Town's net assets of$21,743,854 (73%) are capital assets and that most capital
assets in a government entity do not directly generate revenue nor can they be sold to generate
liquid capital. Those net assets restricted for specific purposes totaled $4,726,376 (16%). The
remaining $3,387,482 (11%) are unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the
government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the Town's fund
designation and fiscal policies.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of Westlake's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of$10,930,861, which is a decrease of$35,719 in comparison
with the prior year. Within this total, $5,938,621 is non-spendable, restricted, committed or
assigned by management or council.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund was $5,263,805, an
increase of $1,248,411 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total fund balance,
$4,992,240 is unassigned. This represents 108% of the total general fund expenditures and is
equivalent to 396 operating days.
• The Town's capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) increased by $568,550. The major
portion of this increase is attributed to the work completed on the Roanoke Road
drainage/reconstruction project, Stagecoach Hills water line project, and the purchase of an
attack truck and ambulance. A total of$904 thousand was recorded as construction in progress
expenses for several road and water projects, including FM 1938 improvements along with
Stagecoach Hills drainage/reconstruction. A small amount was contributed to the beginning of
the Academy expansion project. This total amount was offset by $1,275,215 of depreciation
which gave the Town a net increase.
• The Town's bonds payable decreased by $78,000 in total, due to principal payments and
refundings of$7,453,000 offset by the issuance of General Obligation Refunding bonds in the
amount of$7,375,000.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial
statements. The Town's basic financial statements are comprised of the following three components:
3
1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
the Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The government-wide financial
statements are prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Town's assets and liabilities with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net
assets serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or
weakening.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All of the revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus
revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows
in future fiscal periods.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are
principally supported by sales taxes, property taxes, and intergovernmental revenues (governmental
activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs
through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Town
include general government, public safety, culture and recreation, economic development, public
works, visitor services and education. The business-type activities of the Town include water/sewer
and cemetery.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town (known as the primary
government), but also discretely presented component units including all of the Texas Student Housing
entities. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial
information presented for the primary government itself. See pages 26-29 of the "Financial Section"
for detail on these entities. In addition, the Town has the following blended component units: Lone
Star Public Facility Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, and Westlake Academy, an
open enrollment charter school owned and operated by the Town of Westlake.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Below
are the three types of funds. The Town had only Governmental and Proprietary funds for the year
ended September 30, 2012.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as government activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
4
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and ou flows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, the reader may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement
of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Town maintains eight individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the General, Visitors Association, Westlake Academy, Debt Service,
Capital Projects, Economic Development, Lone Star Public Facility Corporation and Westlake 4B
Economic Development Corporation funds, all of which are presented as major funds.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds, except the Capital Projects fund which
is a project-length based budget. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all
appropriate funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18-22 of this report.
Proprietary funds - There are two types of proprietary funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service
Funds. An Enterprise Fund is the only proprietary fund currently maintained by the Town. Enterprise
funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-
wide financial statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activities
and its cemetery activities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in
this fund, including administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, billing
and collection. The Town's intent is that costs of providing the services to the general public on a
continuing basis is financed through user based charges in a manner similar to a private enterprise.
The Town has no Internal Service Funds (fund to report activities that provide supplies and services for
the Town's other programs and activities, i.e. self-insurance and fleet management.)
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 23 -25 on this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs. The
accounting used for fiduciary funds is similar to the accounting used for proprietary funds. The Town
of Westlake does not currently have any fiduciary funds.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes
to the financial statements can be found on pages 30 - 66 of this report.
5
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents schedules that further support the information in the financial statements.
The schedules are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements and can be
found on pages 67 - 75.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the government's financial
position. In the case of the Town, assets exceeded liabilities by $29,857,712 at the close of the most
recent fiscal year.
The Town's combined net assets changed from a year ago, increasing $1,280,390 from $28,577,322 to
$29,857,712. Our analysis below focuses on the net assets (Table 1) and changes in net assets (Table
2) of the Town's governmental and business-type activities.
The largest portion of the Town's net assets, $21,743,854 (73%), reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g. land, buildings, equipment, improvements, construction in progress, and infrastructure),
less any debt used to acquire capital assets still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to
provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the Town's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town's net assets, $4,726,376 (16%), represents resources that are subject
to external or internal restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
assets, $3,387,482 (11%), may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.

Governmental activities: Governmental activities increased the Town's net assets by $1,372,023
(5%), increasing net assets from $23,244,383 to $24,616,406. Unrestricted net assets, the part of net
assets that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debt
covenants, enabling legislation, other legal requirements, and/or Council or management's decision,
increased by $1,575,631 or 7% of total governmental net assets. The majority of this increase was due
to excess revenues over expenditures for the fiscal year with no restrictions on the funds.
Total revenues (including transfers) for governmental activities increased by $112,559 when compared
to the prior year. General revenue had a decrease of $322,586, while program revenues had an
increase of$534,854.
Program revenues- The major contributor to the increase is related to the receipt of state revenues
for the additional students at Westlake Academy as well as Westlake Academy Foundation grants
given to the Academy.
General revenues—Decrease of$322,586 were primarily made up of the following components:
• Sales tax decreased by $952,352 due to a reduction in revenues of approximately $900K
based on the conclusion of construction regarding Deloitte in which there was an economic
development agreement regarding the taxing of construction and start-up materials.
• Property tax increased by $181,126
• Miscellaneous increased by $421,513 — major portion of this increase relates to the
reimbursement of indirect costs from Westlake Academy to the Town for services performed
by Town personnel
Expenses—
• Total expenses for governmental activities increased by $920,520 or approximately 7%. The
major components to this increase were related to a decrease of $463,922 in economic
development based on a contractual obligation reimbursement. The amount received on the
construction of the project was primarily completed in the prior year with normal operating
sales taxes being received for the majority of FY 11-12 and an increase in education of
$1,308,575 which included expense for the addition of students and staff for Westlake
Academy and the transfer of a portion of the indirect operating costs of approximately
$325,000 from Academy budget to the Municipal budget.
Business-type Activities:
The net assets of our business-type activities ended fiscal year 2012 at $5,241,306 compared with
$5,332,939 in 2011. This represents a decrease in net assets of$91,633, or 2% less than the prior fiscal
year.
Revenues of the Town's business-type activities were $3,058,622 for the fiscal year ending September
30, 2012. Revenues decreased $189,141 or 6% from the prior year. Operating expenses for the
business-type activities were $3,104,748 for the year, an increase of$304,909 or 11%. The resulting
decrease in net assets is due to several factors, including the following:
• Decrease in Charges for Services was $152,826. This 5% decrease was primarily realized
because FY 10/11 was a drier year than normal resulting in increased water billing revenues
and other associated fees in the prior year.
8
• The Town's increase in expenses of$304,909 is attributed to interest expense and additional
expenses related to the wastewater treatment accounts.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the Town's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a town's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $10,930,861; a decrease of $35,719 in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 46% of this total ($4,992,240) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available
for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is nonspendable,
restricted, committed or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has
already been committed.
The following tables present a summary of general, special revenue, capital project, and debt service
fund revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and the amount and
percentage of increases and decreases in relation to the prior year.

Below are summaries and explanations of the material increase (decrease) in fund balances from FY
2011 to FY 2012 of the Governmental Funds that are contained in the above totals:
General Fund-Fund balance increased$1,248,411 (31%)
• Sales tax - FY 11-12 was the first year sales tax payments from the Property Tax Reduction
portion of our receipts were recorded in the General Fund versus its own fund. The total
amount was $914K. In addition to these additional receipts, the Town received a contribution
of $325K from the Westlake Academy for indirect costs for services performed by Town
staff.
4B Economic Development Corporation Fund-Fund balance decreased$89,193
• All funds received were transferred to the Debt Service Fund for the annual bond payments.
• Fund balance decreased due to the reduction of a receivable from the Utility fund for an
interfund loan made to the Utility Fund for several utility projects in past years
Visitors Association Fund- Fund balance decreased by $58,734
• Primarily due to a budgeted transfer of funds for the partial payment of the bonds related to the
Arts & Sciences Center.
Capital Projects Fund - Fund balance decreased by $1,053,529 due to the usage of bond funds for
various approved capital projects.
Proprietary funds. The Town's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information
found in the government-wide financial statements with greater detail.
Total net assets of the Proprietary Funds amounted to $5,241,306, a decrease of$91,633. Operating
income totaled $3,048,545 which was offset by a net non-operating revenues (expenses) total of
$704,659.
• Revenues were $189,141 less than the prior year primarily due to charges for services
• Operating Expenses increased by$304,909 due to the increase in the purchase of water.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund budget for fiscal year 2012 was amended in total to increase the net change in fund
balance from($110,509) to $1,066,876, a total increase of$1,177,385.
• The amended budget for net revenues was increased by $916,674 (18%) with the majority of
the increase noted below:
o Sales Tax - $582,500— received more taxes than anticipated due to construction at
Deloitte University which we thought would be completed in the prior year. Several
months of the construction materials sales tax receipts were received in FY 11-12.
o Property Tax - $105,211 - original budget was based on September values but then
updated
o Franchise Tax - $82,375 — additional receipt from a franchisee that we had not
anticipated
o Fines and penalties - $103,389—more than anticipated traffic violations
• The amended budget for expenditures decreased by $501,661 (10%). The major components
of this decrease are below:
o General government - $(288,353)
■ ($356K) - This is based on a change in how we were booking payroll. We were
wanting all payroll expense to be shown in the General Fund and had originally
budgeted transfers in from other funds in the "Transfers In"" line-item (below the
line) but determined it would be best to book as a contra account in the operating
portion of the budget.
■ $52K — Increase in legal expenditures due to a lawsuit to determine the rights of
the Town to levy a property tax and its authority to expend collected tax revenues
on school operations at the Academy. The Town denied any liability and obtained
a favorable judgment from the Court
o Public Works—- $(190,255)—Majority of this is related to how payroll was recorded.
See above explanation. In additional, several larger maintenance projects were
postponed.
The General Fund actual revenue collections were more than the amended budget by $25,372 and the
final expenditures were $120,289 less than budgeted(3%).
• General government - $41,482 — majority of this amount is made up additional legal
expenditures based on lawsuit
• Public Safety $(93,946)—EMS/Fire was understaffed by one position for the fiscal year
• Cultural and recreation—$(38,569)—mainly related to contract services for landscaping, etc.
• Public Works $(29,256) —primarily related to street drainage expenditures and the reduction
of several maintenance projects.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. The Town's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type
activities as of September 30, 2012, totaled $46,689,838 (net of accumulated depreciation). The
investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment,
11
infrastructure, and construction in progress. The net increase in the Town's investment in capital
assets for the current fiscal year was $568,550 or 1%. The major portion of this increase is attributed
to the work completed on the Roanoke Road drainage/reconstruction project, Stagecoach Hills water
line project, and the purchase of an attack truck and ambulance. A total of $904 thousand was
recorded as construction in progress expenses for several road and water projects, including FM 1938
improvements along with Stagecoach Hills drainage/reconstruction. A small amount was contributed
to the beginning of the Academy expansion project. This total amount was offset by $1,275,215 of
depreciation which gave the Town a net increase.

development reimbursement, and $5,498,668 business-type debt. During the fiscal year 2011-2012,
the Town's total debt payable decreased by $577,011. This decrease is primarily attributed to the
scheduled repayment of principal and interest on outstanding bonded debt.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
While we clearly understand the nation as a whole continues to try and recover from the economic
downturn, the Town remains committed to budgeting and forecasting projections based on a fiscally
conservative formula. We have accomplished many great things this past year through our use of
partnerships and inventive strategies to govern our community. We have begun the process of
reinvesting in our infrastructure and will continue to do so over the next several years—paying special
attention to unique cost sharing opportunities, both public and private. Our overall goal is to provide
our residents with a living experience that is second-to-none.
In the FY 2012-13 budget, General Fund revenues and transfers are budgeted to decrease by $684K
(11%). The decrease is primarily related to the reduction of the indirect cost reimbursement from the
Westlake Academy to the Town for services performed by Town personnel as well as a reduction in
permits and fees. Sales tax represents 46% of the total revenue budget with 21% being contributed to
property tax and 12%to franchise fees.
Westlake's assessed valuation increased by 11.2% for FY 12-13; however, the portion of this assessed
valuation that we can actually use to levy an ad valorem tax deceased by 8%. This was due largely to
tax abatements on Fidelity II and Deloitte University. Fidelity is able to receive these abatements in
FY 12-13; however, they were not eligible in FY 11-12 because they did not meet their employment
targets required in our economic development agreements with them. Even with these abatements
lowering the portion of our assessed valuation on which we can levy our property tax in FY 12-13, we
were still able to keep our tax rate the same as the previous year at $.15684 per $100 of assessed
valuation($.141970 maintenance and operations and$.014870 interest and sinking).
13
Operating budgeted expenditures in the General Fund are projected to increase by only $40K (1%).
The method for funding a second ground storage water tank for our water system is still under
consideration. Because of that, it was budgeted in FY 12-13 to transfer, through an inter-fund loan,
funds from the General Fund to the Utility Fund. The amount of$2M is scheduled to be re-paid over
five years with a $400,000 annual payment. However, if we can work out the ability to issue bonds for
this project, that would be the preferred method of financing this needed facility and an inter-fund loan
from the General Fund to the Utility Fund will not be necessary. Subsequent to the adoption of the
budget, the Town is considering funding a portion of this project with bonds and only transferring
$500K.
The Capital Projects Fund's fund balance will increase due to $8.5M issuance for Westlake Academy
facility expansion. This increase as well as the ongoing implementation of the (5) Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) will bring the fund balance to $3.3M. The CIP is reviewed, updated, and
approved each year by the Town Council. The FM 1938/ Davis Blvd. streetscape plan will begin in
earnest this coming year and the final expenditures for the J. T. Ottinger and Dove Road improvements
will wind down. We will also begin to implement the enhancement projects along SH 114/Hwy 170
during the 12-13 fiscal year and start reconstruction and drainage work on Dove Road east of FM
1938.
A transfer from the General Fund to the Major Maintenance and Replacement Fund continues this
fiscal year, with transfers out of $550,000. The expenditures will be used for plant/building
maintenance at the Academy, trail repair work, replacement of an existing vehicle, as well as
technology upgrades. A portion of the remaining balance will be held for the future replacement of the
ladder truck for the Fire Department in FY 2016-17. Internal Service funds show a 23% increase of
$220,205, due to the transfer of funds into the two major maintenance and equipment replacement
funds (Utility and General),to accumulate funds for various repair and replacement items.
The net change to Fund balance for Westlake Academy is positive due, in part, to a $300 thousand
contribution from the Westlake Academy Foundation which is intended to help with the negative
impact of the reduction in State funding for public schools across Texas.
Special Revenue funds project a 13% decrease in total fund balance in the amount of$164,923 by the
end of FY 2012-13. This reduction is primarily due to the Visitors Association Fund (i.e. Hotel-Motel
Occupancy Tax Fund), where debt service payments are budgeted to be transferred for the bond issue
payment related to construction of the Westlake Academy Sam and Margaret Lee Arts & Sciences
Center.
Total revenues and other sources in for the Utility Fund were budget at $4.8M with 43% being
contributed to water revenue and 42% to a transfer in from the General Fund for the construction of the
ground storage tank. As stated above, this amount may be amended during the FY 2012-13. Expenses
and other uses are budgeted at$4.6M with the 47% of this being attributed to capital outlay/projects.

TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2012
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of activities are different because:
Net change in fund balance-total governmental funds $( 35,719)
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as
depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeds capital outlays in the
current period. 647,738
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds. 1,258
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provided current financial resources to
governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current
financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however,has any effect on net
assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and
similar items when debt is first issued,whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of
long-term debt and related items. 710,963
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and,therefore,are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 47,783
Change in net assets of governmental activities $ 1,372,023
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town") was incorporated under the provisions of the
laws of the State of Texas on December 26, 1956. The Town operates under a Council-
Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by the laws
of the State of Texas: public safety; cultural and recreation; and economic development.
A. Reporting Entity
The accompanying financial statements comply with the provisions of the GASB statements
No. 14 and 39. "The Financial Reporting Entity," in that the Town's basic financial
statements include the accounts of the Town's financial reporting entity, including the
primary government, organizations for which the Town is financially accountable and other
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Town are
such that inclusion would cause the Town's financial statement to be misleading or
incomplete. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the Town's
reporting entity, includes whether:
■ The organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in their own name);
■ The Town holds the corporate powers of the organization;
■ The Town appoints a voting majority of the organization's board;
■ The Town is able to impose its will on the organization;
■ The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the
Town; and
■ There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the Town.
Component units are blended with the balances and transactions of the Town if one of the
following criterion are met:
■ The component unit is substantially the same governing body as the Town; or
■ The component unit provides services entirely (or almost entirely) to the
Town or benefits the Town exclusively (or almost exclusively) ; or
■ The Town is able to impose its will on the component unit.
Based on the aforementioned criteria, the Town has the following component units: Lone
Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, Westlake
Academy, Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Authority Ballpark
Austin Project; Texas Student Housing Authority Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student
Housing Authority College Station Project and Texas Student Housing Corporation - The
Ridge at North Texas.

B. Component Units
Discretely Presented
The Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Ballpark Austin Project,
Texas Student Housing Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing College Station
Project, and Texas Student Housing Corporation — The Ridge at North Texas Project
(collectively, "Texas Student Housing') are Texas nonprofit organizations as a duly
constituted authority of the Town pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the Texas Education Code,
as amended (Act). Texas Student Housing's primary purpose is to construct, own, and
operate student housing facilities on college campuses in Texas. The board consists of seven
directors which are appointed by the Town's governing body and has the ability to remove at
will the appointed members, thus the governing body can impose its will on the
organizations. Housing entities are reported as Enterprise Funds. The Town is not
responsible for the long-term debt of the Texas Student Housing entities. All Texas Student
Housing entities have separately issued financial statements. These statements can be
obtained by contacting the Texas Student Housing Authority, 3 Village Circle, Suite 202,
Westlake, Texas 76262.
The financial statements are formatted to allow the user to clearly distinguish between the
primary government and the discretely presented component units.
Blended
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf
of the Town to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's
duly constituted authority and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the
Town's governing body, is comprised of seven members, of whom five must be members of
the Town's governing body. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the
Town's governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity.
4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under
the Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within
the Town and the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment,
and to promote and encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of
the Town by developing, implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects
defined and permitted under Section 4B of the Act. The board of directors is composed of
seven persons appointed by the members of the Town's governing board. Four of the
members of the board of directors are members of the Town's governing board. Since a
voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's governing body, the Town can
impose its will on the entity.

Subchapter D, Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake ("Charter
Holder") applied for and became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special
charter designation. The board consists of six trustees and is appointed by the Town's
governing body. Currently, all the members of the board of trustees are members of the
Town's governing body. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's
governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity. The Academy's year-end is
August 31.
C. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the
Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the Town.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported
separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government
is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues includes 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Major individual Governmental Funds and major individual Enterprise Funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements.
D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability
is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Measurement Focus,Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation(Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities
of the current period. For this purpose, the Town considers revenues to be available if they
are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally
are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are
all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the
current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available
only when cash is received by the Town.
The Town uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund
accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by
segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities. A fund is a
separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the Town are
financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the Town's expendable financial resources
and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary fund type) are
accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of
changes in financial position,rather than upon income determination.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund—to account for all financial resources except those required to be
accounted for in another fund. The General Fund balance is available for any
purpose, provided it is expended or transferred in accordance with the legally
adopted budget of the Town.
Special Revenue Funds —to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources
(other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or major capital projects) that
are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Visitors Association Fund — to account for municipal hotel occupancy
taxes collected and expenditures to promote tourism and the convention
and hotel industry.
Westlake Acadeniv Fund — to account for all financial resources of the
Academy.
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation — to account for activity relating
to the Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation.
(continued)

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Measurement Focus,Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation(Continued)
4B Economic Development Corporation —to account for activity relating
to 4B Economic Development Corporation.
Economic Development Fund — to account for activity relating to the
Economic Development agreements.
Debt Service Fund — to account for resources accumulated and payments made
for principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental
funds in a Debt Service Fund.
Capital Proiects Fund — to account for proceeds from long-term financing and
revenue and expenditures related to authorized construction and other capital asset
acquisitions.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the Town's Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for
sales and services. Operating expenses for the Enterprise Fund include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenue and expenses.
The Town reports the following major proprietary funds:
Utility Fund — to account for revenues and expenses related to providing water
and sewer services to the general public on a continuing basis.
Cemetery Fund—to account for the operations of the Town's cemetery.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The Town has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector
guidance.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's
water and wastewater function and various other functions of the government. Elimination
of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various
functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customer or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue
includes all taxes.

E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and investments of all funds, including restricted cash, are available upon demand and
are considered to be "cash equivalents."
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers highly-liquid investments
(including restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents.
State statues authorize the Town to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its
agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3)
other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or
insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies,
counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to
investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a
rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state or national
banks domiciled in this state that are (a) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (b) secured by obligations that are described by
(1) — (4); or (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined
termination date, secured by obligations described by (1) pledged with third-party selected or
approved by the Town, and placed through a primary government securities dealer.
All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the
amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties.
Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the
current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current
portion of interfund loans. All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as
"due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental
activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial
statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund
balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not
available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The net
property tax receivable allowance is equal to 25 percent of outstanding property taxes at
September 30, 2012.

Receivables and Payables (Continued)
The Town's property taxes are levied on October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior
January 1 for all real and business personal property located in the Town. Assessed values
are established at 100% of estimated market value. Property taxes attach as an enforceable
lien on property as of January 1. Taxes are due by January 31 following the October 1 levy
date and are considered delinquent after January 31 of each year.
Restricted Assets
Certain bond proceeds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are
classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable
bond covenants.
Inventories and prepaid items
Inventories, which are expended as they are consumed, are stated at the lower of cost or
market on a first-in, first-out basis.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Fund Changes and Transactions Between Funds
Legally authorized transfers are treated as operating transfers and are included in the results
of operations of both governmental and proprietary funds.
The Town allocates an indirect cost percentage of the salaries, wages and related costs of
personnel who perform administrative services as well as other indirect costs necessary for
the operation of various funds. Expenses are budgeted and paid from the appropriate fund.
Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical
cost is not available.
The cost of nominal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value
on the date donated. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over
three years of life. All infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar
items), regardless of the acquisition date or amount,have been included. Estimated historical
cost for initial reporting of infrastructure assets (those reported by governmental activities)
was valued by estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure and using an
index to deflate the cost to the estimated acquisition/construction year. As the Town
constructs or acquires additional capital assets, including infrastructure assets, they are
capitalized and reported at historical cost.

Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line
method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets Years
Water and sewer system 10-50
Buildings 20-50
Machinery and equipment 3-30
Improvements 5-30
Information systems and software 3
Compensated Absences
The Town's policy allows employees to earn 5 days of vacation and 5 days of sick leave
between six months and one year of service, and 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick
leave between one year and two years of service and each successive year through five years
of service. After completion of 5 years of service, 15 days of vacation and 15 days of sick
leave per year are earned. After completion of 10 years of service, 20 days of vacation and
20 days of sick leave per year are earned. The Town makes sick and vacation time available
in full at the beginning of each year, and hours are actually earned throughout the year.
Unused, earned vacation hours are paid upon termination or retirement at the employee's
normal hourly rate; accumulated, unused sick time is not payable upon termination or
retirement.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type
statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred
and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method, which approximates
the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized
over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types
recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs during the current period.
The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums
received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual proceeds,
are reported as expenditures.

Fund Equity and Net Assets
The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications
that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the Town is bound to
honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental
funds can be spent.
The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:
• Nonspendable: This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because
they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable items are not expected to be
converted to cash or are not expected to be converted to cash within the next year.
• Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been
placed on the use of the resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or(b) imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Committed: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by board resolution of the
Town council, the Town's highest level of decision making authority. These
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Town council removes
or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action that was employed
when the funds were initially committed. This classification also includes
contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources have been specifically
committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
• Assigned: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the
Town's intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor
committed. This intent can be expressed by the Town council.
• Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General
Fund. The unassigned classification also includes negative residual fund balance
of any other governmental fund that cannot be eliminated by offsetting of
assigned fund balance amounts.
In the government-wide financial statements, net assets represent the difference between
assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing
used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back
unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on
their use either though the enabling legislations adopted by the Town or through external
restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.

Fund Equity and Net Assets (Continued)
The government-wide and fund level financial statements report restricted fund balances for
amounts not available for appropriation or legally restricted for specific uses. When an
expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance
is available, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources
as needed. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned
fund balances are available, the City considers amounts to have been spent first out of
committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
In the government-wide financial statements, the City's restrictions on net assets are for
amounts that are not available for appropriation. The City's restricted net assets are as
follows:
Restricted for Tourism $ 1,052,546
Restricted for Future projects 2,714,662
Restricted for Debt Service 22,657
Restricted for Education 758,127
Restricted for Economic Development 178,384
Total $ 4,726,376
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances
includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total governmental fund and
changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of
activities. One element of that reconciliation explains, "Governmental funds report capital
outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense." The details of
this $647,738 difference are as follows:

principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the
effect of issuance costs, premiums, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. Details of this $710,963

Legal provisions generally permit the Town to invest in certificates of deposit, repurchase
agreements, public funds investment pools, direct obligations of the United States of America or
its subdivisions and state and local government securities.
The Town did not engage in repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement transactions during the
current year.

Deposits and Investments (Continued)
During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Town had investments with TexPool. TexPool, a
public funds investment pool created by the Treasurer of the State of Texas acting by and
through the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, which is empowered to invest funds
and acts as custodian of investments purchased with local investment funds. These investments
are not required to be categorized because the investor is not issued securities, but rather it owns
an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the respective funds. The fair value of the
position in TexPool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
On September 1, 1989, local government investment pools became authorized investments for
the majority of public entities in Texas. The Interlocal Cooperation Act was amended by the 71St
Texas Legislature to facilitate the creation of local government investment pools in Texas. This
act permits the creation of investment pools to which a majority of political subdivisions (local
governments) may delegate, by contract, the authority to make investments purchased with local
investment funds and to hold legal title as custodian of the investments. TexPool was organized
to conform with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code,
and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions
in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate
policies. Among other things, it requires the Town to adopt, implement, and publicize its
investment policy. That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and
liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5)
expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7)
maximum average dollar — weighted maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the
portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for
certificates of deposit. Statutes and the Town's investment policy authorized the Town to invest
in the following investments as summarized in the table below:
Maximum Maximum
Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment
Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio in One Issuer
Obligations of, or guaranteed by
Governmental entities 2 years None None
Certificates of deposit 1 year None None
Mutual funds 2 years 80% None

Interest Rate Risk. This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. In order to limit interest and
market rate risk from changes in interest rates, the Town's investment policy sets a maximum
stated maturity limit of two years for obligations of the United States Government, its agencies
and instrumentalities (excluding mortgage backed securities) and one year for fully insured or
collateralized certificates of deposit. No more than 80% of the Town's monthly average balance
may be invested in money market funds. Additionally, the Town invests in an investment pool
that purchases a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than
29 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values
of the Town's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table
that shows the distribution of the Town's Investments. The Town has negotiated an interest
rate for all checking account deposits; therefore, cash is considered in the balance of our
investments.

Credit Risk. This is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented above is the minimum rating required by
(where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the Town's investment policy, or debt
agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

The Certificates of Obligation, Series 2002 and 2003 require the Town to provide certain
updated financial information and operating data to certain information vendors annually, as
permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The issuer will provide the updated information to
each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") and to any
state information depository("SID") that is designated by the State of Texas and approved by the
staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission(the "SEC").
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Town issued General Obligation bonds of
$2.5 million. These bonds were used for the construction of an Arts & Sciences Center that was
completed during the current fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Town issued Certificates of Obligation in
the amount of$2,095,000 for various street projects.
Advance Refunding
The government issued $7,375,000 in general obligation bonds with interest rates ranging from
2.0% to 4.0%. The proceeds were used to advance refund $6,785,000 of outstanding 2002 and
2003 general obligation bonds which had interest rates ranging from 3.65% to 6.50%. The net
proceeds of $7,650,305 (including a $424,196 premium and after payment of $148,891 in
underwriting fees and other issuance costs) were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow
agent to provide funds for the future debt service payment on the refunded bonds. As a result,
this portion of the 2002 and 2003 general obligation bonds are considered defeased and the
liability for those bonds has been removed from the statement of net position.
The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old debt by $865,305. This
amount is being netted against the new debt and amortized over the life of the refunding debt.
The government advance refunded this portion of the 2002 and 2003 general obligation bonds to
reduce its total debt service payments over 17 years by $893,302 and to obtain an economic gain
(difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of
$704,497.

that the rebate will be paid to Fidelity within 30 days of each calendar quarter from the sales
taxes received by the Town. On November 13, 2000, the agreement was amended to allow for a
payment schedule of 15 annual equal installments for sales tax rebate due and payable to
Fidelity. The amount due will not bear interest. The loan is discounted to present value and
amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

Elevated Water Storage Facility
On October 9, 2000, the Town approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Keller, which
provided for the joint construction, operation, maintenance and use of an elevated water storage
facility and appurtenances. The Town recorded a contractual obligation of$1,466,000 based on
the terms of the interlocal agreement, which requires 20 annual principal and interest payments
to the City of Keller, with payments due each September 30 at interest rates ranging from 5.0%
to 5.65%.
Dove Road Water Line and West Pump Station
In April 2000, the Town approved an agreement with the Hillwood Development Corporation
("Hillwood"). In the agreement, Hillwood agreed to bear all initial costs for the design,
engineering and constructions of the Dove Road Water Line and the West Pump Station that will
service the residents of the Town. The Town agreed to reimburse Hillwood for the cost of the
project upon completion and the Town's acceptance of the project, which occurred in June 2001,
solely from a $.25 charge per 1,000 gallons of usage. The Town further agreed to deposit debt
service revenue of $.25 per 1,000 gallons of usage collected from Town residents to fund its
repayment to Hillwood. Debt service revenue will be allocated between Hillwood service area and
Town service area by 52% and 48%, respectively and deposited into two separate debt service
funds that will result in debt service revenue to pay the respective share of the construction cost.
The Town recorded a limited pledge contractual obligation of$4,679,944 for the project cost based
upon the terms of the agreement, which requires 239 monthly principal and interest payments to
Hillwood, at an interest rate of 6.75%. If the Town collects insufficient funds to pay current
interest on the debt, the interest payment may be deferred. No portion of debt payments will be
applied to the principal component, until all current and deferred interest is fully paid. The
obligation of the Town to pay the purchase price and interest thereon is not a general obligation
of the Town but is a limited recourse obligation payable solely from debt service revenue.

constructed in 2000. Additionally, the Town must pay the City of Southlake all transportation,
treatment and related costs allocable to the metered flow of sewage from the Town into the sewer
line.
Federal and State Program Revenues

the form of grants for Westlake Academy. The disbursement of funds received under these
programs generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant
agreements and are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Any unallowed disbursement
resulting from such audits becomes a liability of the Town. In the opinion of the Town
management, no material refunds will be required as a result of unallowed disbursements (if any)
by the grantor agencies.

IV. OTHER INFORMATION
Retirement Plan
Plan Description
The Town provides pension benefits for all of its eligible employees through a non-traditional,
joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS), an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that
have been adopted by the Town are within the options available in the governing state statutes of
TMRS.
TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides
detailed explanations of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions used
by the System. This report may be obtained from TMRS' website at www.TMRS.com.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the Town, within the options available
in the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the Town were as follows:
Plan Year 2011 Plan Year 2012
Employee deposit rate 7.0% 7.0%
Matching ratio (town to employee) 2 to 1 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5 5

Updated service credit 100%repeating, 100% repeating,
transfers transfers
Annuity increase (to retirees) 0% of CPI 0% of CPI
repeating repeating
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each town is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the
normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to
be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the
portion of an active member's projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution
rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for
that city. Both the normal cost and prior service contribution rates include recognition of the
projected impact of annually repeating benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity
Increases.
The Town contributes to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees
and the Town make contributions monthly. Since the Town needs to know its contribution rate
in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that
serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about
the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to
continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future.
Actuarial calculations are based on the benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan
in effect at the time of each valuation, and reflect a long-term perspective. Consistent with that
perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to
reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. The
schedule of funding progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information following the
notes to the financial statements, present multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
accrued liability of benefits.
Other Postemployment Benefits
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
The Town also participates in the cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit group term life
insurance plan operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The Town elected, by ordinance to provide group
term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The Town may terminate
coverage under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before
November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1.
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month
period preceding the month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is
an"other postemployment benefit," or OPEB.
Contributions
The Town contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The
funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet
all death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is not to pre-fund retiree term life
insurance during employees' entire careers.

Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The Town's general
liability, workers' compensation liability, law enforcement liability, errors and omissions
liability, and automobile liability coverage is insured by the Texas Municipal League, a public
entity risk pool. The Town's only responsibility to the Texas Municipal League is to pay
premiums for insurance and related deductible amounts of these policies. Other risk of loss is
covered by commercial insurance. Settlements of claims have not exceeded coverage in the past
three years.
Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
The Town was involved in a lawsuit to determine the rights of the Town to levy a property tax
and its authority to expend collected tax revenues on school operations at the Academy. The
Town denies any liability. The Town obtained a favorable judgment from the Court. The lawsuit
is over and non-appealable.
Various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the Town. In the opinion of Town
management, after consultation with legal counsel, the potential loss on these claims and
lawsuits will not materially affect the Town's financial position.

Contingent Liabilities (Continued)
Circle T Municipal Utility Districts
The Town and Hillwood are currently in discussions regarding the debt for Municipal Utility
District's (MUDS) #1 and #3 on the Circle T property in Westlake which is controlled by AIL
Investments, L.P. As this property develops, Hillwood agreed to de-annex developed property
from the MUDS in exchange for pro-rata payments on water and sewer infrastructure installed
by the MUD at their inception.
To date, two projects, Chrysler Financial and Deloitte University, have been or are being
developed within these MUDS. Discussions regarding the Town's payment to AIL Investments,
L.P. in exchange for de-annexation of these two tracks from the Circle T MUDs have taken place
but have not come to a conclusion as to the settlement amounts. These discussions are ongoing
until the Town receives full documentation that it determines is adequate to support the requested
payments. The Town of Westlake holds full rights and privileges under the State granted
Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) and can serve all water and sewer customers
within these MUD boundaries regardless of the status of these negotiations.
Subsequent Events
At the Council meeting on January 28, 2013, the Council adopted a resolution authorizing the
Town's consultants and staff to prepare for the issuance of certificates of obligation in the
amount of $9.5 million. The Town would likely receive bond proceeds in April, 2013. The
funds are to be used as follows: (1) $1,000,000 to fund a portion of a ground storage tank and (2)
$8,500,000 for the expansion of Westlake Academy to include a cafetorium, classroom building
and a field house.
The Council also adopted an ordinance authorizing the issuance of general obligation refunding
bonds at the January 28, 2013 meeting. Subsequent to year-end, the Town issued $2.2 million
GO Refunding Bonds, Series 2013 for the purpose of refunding the Town's GO Bonds, Series
2008 which have a 3.92% interest rate and an outstanding principal balance of$2,135,000. Total
savings over the next 15 years equals $255,176, or approximately $17,000 per year. The present
value of such savings, using the yield on the 2013 Bonds, is $218,480, or 10.2% of the principal
retired.

TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS
NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
SEPTEMBER 30,2012
(Unaudited)
BUDGETARY INFORMATION - The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing
the budgetary data reflected in the budgetary comparison schedules:
1. The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
2. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an ordinance. This
budget is reported as the Original Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
3. During the fiscal year, changes to the adopted budget may be authorized, as follows:
a) Items requiring Town Council action - appropriation of fund balance reserves;
transfers of appropriations between funds; new inter-fund loans or advances; and
creation of new capital projects or increases to existing capital projects.
b) Items delegated to the Town Manager — appropriation balances from an
expenditure account to another within a single fund
4. Annual budgets are legally adopted and amended as required for the general, special revenue
and debt service funds. Project length budgets are adopted for the capital projects funds. All
budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepting accounting principles.
Budgets are adopted for the proprietary funds annually only as a management tool. There are
no legally mandated budgetary constraints for the proprietary funds.
5. Budget amounts are reflected after all authorized amendments and revisions. This budget is
reported as the Final Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
6. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Town's
management may make transfers of appropriations within a fund. Transfers of appropriations
between funds require the approval of the Town Council. The legal level of budgetary
control is the fund level. The Town Council made several supplementary budget
appropriations during the year.
7. Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for
the expenditure of resources are recoded to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds. Encumbrances lapse at year-end and do
not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments must be re-appropriated
and honored during the subsequent year.
8. Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the general government and administration
department of the General Fund and in the Economic Development Fund for the year. These
deficits were covered by additional collections of revenue, unspent budget in other functions
and available fund balance. In addition, transfers out exceeded appropriations in the 4B
Economic Development Corporation Fund. This excess was covered by available fund
balance.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide,at least in part,with the geographic boundaries of the Town. This schedule
estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the
Town of Westlake. This process recognized that,when considering the Town's ability to issue and repay long-term debt,the entire
debt burden borne by the resident and businesses should be taken into account. However,this does not imply that every taxpayer is a
resident,and therefore responsible for repaying the debt,of each overlapping government.
(1) The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were
estimated by determining the portion of the entity's taxable assessed value that is within the Town's boundaries and dividing it by the
entities'total taxable assessed value.

Population for 2000 is from the 2000 census. Fiscal Years 2001 through 2003 are estimated. The Town took over the
utilility billing in 2004 and estimated the population by using number of residential water accounts and assuming a 2.5
average household size. 2010 Census shows median household income at$250,000. Due to the influx of residents
coming to Westlake Academy,surveys have shown that there is approximately 1.13 school-age children in each
household;therefore,we will use a 3.13 average household size to calculate population.

PATTILLO, BROWN & HILL, L.L.P.
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ■ BUSINESS CONSULTANTS
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Town Council
Town of Westlake, Texas
3 Village Circle, Suite 202
Westlake, Texas 76262
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of the Town of
Westlake, Texas (the "Town") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively
comprise the Town's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 15,
2013. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Town's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Town's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination
of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town's financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee, management,
others within the Town, and appropriate federal and state awarding agencies and pass-through entities
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
