TRANSPARENCY STARS AWARD
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced The Town of Westlake is the latest local
government entity to achieve specific transparency goals through the Comptroller's
Transparency Stars program!
"By providing meaningful financial data in addition to visual tools and analysis of its revenues
and expenditures, The Town of Westlake has shown a true commitment to Texas taxpayers.
This effort achieves the goals set by my office's Transparency Stars program," Hegar said. "I
am pleased to award The Town of Westlake a star for its accomplishments."
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts originally launched the Leadership Circle Program
to recognize local governments across Texas that were striving to meet a high standard for
financial transparency online. The Town of Westlake received this award in March 2014 and
March 2015.
However, in January 2016 the Leadership Circle Program was discontinued and replaced
with a more rigorous program called the Transparency Stars Award meant to recognize local
Texas governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. Any earned
Star will remain valid as long as the website information is maintained.
After receiving an initial star for Traditional Finances, remaining stars may be awarded in any
order. Local government entities can then apply for stars in the areas of:
• Debt Obligations
• Contracts and Procurement
• Economic Development
• Public Pensions
The Town of Westlake strives to place an emphasis on transparency. It is our commitment
that the Town of Westlake's financial information is readily accessible and available for our
citizens.
• In 2016, the Finance department took the challenge and was one of the first four cities
to recently earn the prestigious Transparency Star for Traditional Financial Reporting!
• In 2017, the Finance department applied for and earned the Transparency Star for
Debt Obligation Reporting.

RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 Executive
Transmittal Letter
September 11, 2017
Honorable Mayor and Town Council:
On behalf of the Town of Westlake's Senior Leadership Team, I am pleased to submit the FY 2017-18
Proposed Budget for the Town Council's consideration. This year's budget theme is "Maintaining
our Vision in a Sea of Change". This builds on the FY 2016-17 theme of "Forging Westlake,
Managing the Impact of Growth".
I. THEME SIGNIFICANCE, OUR TRENDS, & AN OVERVIEW
Because of the current and potential development within our community, it is both an exciting and
challenging time in Westlake! This fiscal year's theme, as well as last year's, reflects our
commitment to approaching new growth in a planned and deliberate manner in concert with the
Town's Comprehensive Plan -Forging Westlake. Our community has experienced significant
growth patterns over the last few years in both commercial and residential sites.
Adhering to the Town's Vision is the key to Westlake's success for managing the significant growth.
Staff has developed the theme of "Maintaining our Vision in a Sea of Change"to adequately reflect
our current environment. While growth is occurring, it also presents very clear challenges for our
community if we wish to continue to maintain the elements of Westlake that make it so unique.
These community attributes include our beautiful neighborhoods with top quality residences, strong
aesthetic standards, a top-tier Town owned K-12 charter school, open space preservation,
streetscaping, emphasis on proactive planning, and maintaining our view corridors. The "sea of
change" that surrounds Westlake involves not only our current internal development but also the
current growth opportunities planned for the State Highway (SH 1 14) corridor in northeast Tarrant
County and into southern Denton County. The communities that surround us are undergoing
significant development as well, which adds to the "sea of change" affecting Westlake.
The impact of anticipated growth along the SH 114 corridor is described by Mr. Robin McCaffrey
(AIA and APA) of MESA Planning, the firm that was engaged to update the Town's latest
Comprehensive Plan, Forging Westlake. According to Mr. McCaffrey:
Westlake, with the arrival of the Charles Schwab Corporation project, is crossing
through a portal into the future suggested by the Town's 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
In conjunction with Fidelity and other financial services in and around Westlake,
Westlake hosts nearly 4 million square feet of an industry type (i.e. financial services),
constituting a significant Industry Cluster. At this scale, the aggregation of a single
industrial code activity is important enough to attract vertical and horizontal
2

Transmittal Letter
expansion, which further substantiates Westlake's importance as a financial services
center in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Bringing the above described
importance to the Town's other advantages of proximity, makes Westlake a singularly
important center for growth and development going forward.
These advantages of proximity include:
• Next in the sequence of market advancement: It is an historical phenomenon that corridor
growth markets advance along the corridor at key threshold densities achieved in the
"downstream" growth areas. In Dallas, advancement from one market to another along a
corridor (such as the 1-45 corridor) happens when the downstream growth center attains a
density in the range of 4 million square feet. This happened when Richardson attained such
a threshold and the market advanced to Plano. Once Plano attained the threshold, the
market advanced to Allen. Once Allen attained the threshold, the market advanced to
Fairview and McKinney. Now along the SH 114 corridor, Southlake is approaching this
important threshold, thereby intensifying market interest in Westlake.
• End of the line for corridor growth:Advancement of the market into Westlake is more
unusual than other corridor conditions because Westlake holds an "end-of-the-line"
relationship to such market advancement. West of Westlake lies Alliance, a massive
industrial based development which extends all the way to 1-35W(the easterly boundary of
Fort Worth) at which point the 1141170 corridor ends with limited expectation of extension.
Therefore, Westlake alone will receive most of the market growth within the 114 corridors for
the foreseeable future.
• Large land supply in a market of high demand: The end-of-the-line position held by
Westlake, intensifies demand for development land upon a Town with an ample, but finite,
land supply. Therefore, Westlake will have an unusual opportunity to be selective and the
worse thing Westlake can do in the face of that demand is allow lower level development
to corrupt the opportunities this market position affords. The Town should first understand
the true unusual opportunities over which it governs and in the full understanding of that
position consider important questions.
II. UNDERSTANDING "OUR SEA OF CHANGE"
LOCAL CHALLENGES INVOLVING RESIDENTIAL GROWTH
Westlake's unique position in the SH 114 corridor that Mr. McCaffrey describes makes it imperative
that, as we consider the FY 2017-18 program of municipal services for our Town, we maintain our
vision in this "sea of change" within and around Westlake.

Section 1 Executive

Our Town's vision is:
An oasis of natural beauty that maintains our open spaces in balance
with distinctive developments, trails, and quality of life amenities
amidst an ever expanding urban landscape.
What are some of the local challenges within Westlake that have influenced the recommendations
for services and funding levels in the FY 17-18 Budget?
• Westlake's Permanent Population Growth: This is the portion of our population considered to
be our permanent residents. From the 1990 population of 185 to 2016's population of 1,264
represents an increase of 583%equal to 1,079 additional residents. We will need to continue
to monitor and plan for the continued increase in these numbers considering our
Comprehensive Plan's (Forging Westlake) forecast of approximately 7.21% annual
population growth between now and 2040. This would bring us to around 7,000 residents.
• Traffic Demands Due to Growth in Westlake and Surrounding Areas: The four (4)
municipalities surrounding Westlake (Keller, Southlake, Trophy Club, and Roanoke) are
projected to have a combined population of 215,000 people by 2040. The growth in these
communities will generate additional traffic that commutes through our
Town. With our projected level of residents (7,000) and the existing
zoning entitlements (if executed) we would expect an estimated
300,000 vehicle trips per day. Local impacts associated with this level of
growth affect our street infrastructure, water and sewer system capital
investment requirements, as well as demand for daily municipal
services. Policies established in Forging Westlake will be essential for
addressing this issue via the Town's thoroughfare plan as it pertains to
development which occurs in the community.
• Balanced Growth to Impact Cost of Municipal Services: Likewise, the ability to fund
municipal services utilizing a cost-effective revenue format requires balanced growth that
provides for commercial development and a diversified tax base, while maintaining the
community's open space and bucolic atmosphere. At the same time, we must continue to
ensure the policy direction of the Town is focused on growth paying for the infrastructure for
which it creates the demand.
• Housing Start Increases and Maintaining Westlake's High Quality Residential Housing: We
continue to see strong single family residential construction demand. This has been
demonstrated in Granada Phase 1 as well as in existing subdivisions such as Vaquero,
4
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 Executive
Transmittal Letter
Paigebrooke, and Terra Bella. Additionally, the infrastructure for three (3) new single family
residential developments, Carlyle Court, Granada Phase 2 and Quail Hollow, has been
completed, accepted by the Town and building permit issuance in those developments is
underway.
Also, the mixed-use development called Entrada continues to progress with infrastructure
construction making significant headway. Entrada's infrastructure is being financed with a
Town approved Public Improvement District (PID), the bonds for which are paid back by
assessments on development within Entrada. When the infrastructure is complete, it will add
(over time) a wide variety of 322 residential units to Westlake - ranging from single family
homes, to villas, to town homes. Once complete, these four (4) developments will add
approximately 463 new lots to our residential inventory.
�® Our residential construction activity shows a steady increase in
building permits for housing which has occurred since we have
emerged from the 2008-09 recession. Housing starts in Westlake,
due to the high value of our homes, add taxable value to our taxing
- base; however, this also impacts the demand for municipal services,
especially the Town's charter school, Westlake Academy.
As the area economy continues to perform well, and Westlake and our surrounding communities
continue to experience commercial development, this will further attract individuals who work for
and own these businesses. In turn, these individuals will need housing. As our housing stock
expands in response to these forces, we will need to manage our distinctive developments to
ensure we maintain our community as an `oasis of natural beauty' and achieve high-end housing
options as identified in the Housing element of Forging Westlake.
III. UNDERSTANDING "OUR SEA OF CHANGE"
LOCAL CHALLENGES INVOLVING COMMERCIAL GROWTH
Commercial land use growth in Westlake is also a trend which affects the budget for FY17-18
The local challenges related to commercial growth include:
• Commercial Development, Economic Development, and Daytime Population Growth:
Because Westlake is the home to major corporate office campuses, its Monday-Friday
daytime population is growing and is conservatively estimated to be approximately 10,000-
12,000 individuals. These office complexes are comprised of notable corporate clients that
include Deloitte, LLP and Fidelity Investments. Currently, Fidelity has almost 6,000 employees
5

at their Westlake campus,with expansion room for two (2) more office buildings in addition
to their two (2) existing office buildings.
• New Charles Schwab Corporate Campus: The announcement of their regional corporate
campus in 2016 is beginning to come to fruition. Phase 1 will consist of a 500,000-sq. ft. office
building and parking garage. Adjacent to the Schwab campus will be a mixed-use
development,which Hillwood Properties will develop near the intersection of SH 170 and
SH1 14. The campus will initi ally have approximately 1,500-1,900 employees and should
round out with an estimated 5,000 employees when all phases are complete. Presently,
Schwab is well underway in the process of hiring 500 employees for its temporary Roanoke
Road location in Westlake.
• Commercial Development in Entrada: The mixed-use development called Entrada, located
at FM1938/Davis Blvd. and SH 114,will also create growth in our commercial tax base.
During the past budget year, commercial buildings totaling 55,000 sq. ft. have been
approved by the Town for the development. A CVS Pharmacy is open for business as well
as a Primrose Private School. Other commercial uses include various retail, restaurants,
amphitheater and hotels.
• Solana Redevelopment/Reinvestment: The Solana Office Complex, acquired by Equity
Office (Blackstone) approximately two (2) years ago, has seen a resurgence in occupancy.
Equity's multi-million-dollar investment in the complex to improve its parking, landscaping
and buildings has been a strong positive path for Westlake. The investment is boosting
office occupancy levels with Sabre Corporation expanding their presence into Westlake by
leasing significant office space in Solana. They are also hiring up to 500 new employees.
The municipality has assisted in this revitalization effort by leasing 20,000 sq. ft. of office
space for the next 10 years. The new location in Solana will allow us to all be in one office
suite and better serve the Westlake community.
• Economic Development: The Town has also pursued the ideas advanced in the Economic
Development element of Forging Westlake. That is,where appropriate, to pursue businesses
that ultimately expand the Town's tax base with high quality office buildings, and at the
same time, compliments our financial services business cluster which has
already been created through our corporate residents of Fidelity and
Deloitte. Further, we pursue the types of businesses interested in high
quality office campus development and creating well-paying positions
for employees. With the Schwab announcement (and the start of
M construction of the TD AmeriTrade's complex in Southlake) we are well
n `

While offering economic development incentives for the Schwab project, the tax
abatement provided is in-line with incentives offered in our region, plus the company is
providing one-time funding for Westlake Academy. Staff will continue to monitor our
corporate stakeholders and attempt to identify avenues to strengthen these relationships
and assist in attracting new corporations to Westlake. The expansion of commercial
development will continue to grow Westlake's daytime population.
IV. UNDERSTANDING "OUR SEA OF CHANGE"
OTHER LOCAL CHALLENGES INVOLVING STRATEGIC PLANNING,
RESIDENTS FEEDBACK AND WESTLAKE ACADEMY
There are other local challenges involving both financial and physical site planning, strategic
forecasting, residential feedback through our survey instruments and the Town's public charter
school, Westlake Academy,which have shaped the SY17-18 Budget:
• Westlake's residential growth impact on the Academy: The number of Westlake residents
who are selecting Westlake Academy as the educational choice for their students has
doubled in the past five years. Resident surveys continually indicate that the Academy is a
strong motivator for our residents to live in Westlake, and one of the top three (3) reasons
why they plan to remain in our community. For example, the 2017 municipal services survey
results indicate 75% of the new residents say enrollment at Westlake Academy was
extremely important/important to their decision to live in the community. With the majority
of those residents then listing this as the number one (1) reason they will remain in Westlake
over the next five (5) years.

school facilities.The lottery waiting
list for student admissions from our secondary boundaries continues to grow from 705 in 2011
to over approximately 2,411 students for this coming school year.
• Continued Public Education Funding Shortfall: State funding of public education was
decreased by the State Legislature in 2011. While it has increased somewhat since then, the
allocation has not kept pace with basic cost increases. And, in the Legislature's most
recent 2017 session, the per student funding for public education was not increased for the
next biennium. This negatively impacts Westlake since it owns and operates our public
charter school, Westlake Academy,which receives approximately 800 of its operational
funding from the State. The municipal government continues to allocate significant
resources to the school to deal with State funding limitations, maintain high quality
educational services, provide for the Academy's facilities and support services, as well as
preserve space for the children of Westlake residents. Additionally, the Westlake Academy
Foundation (WAF) raises significant operating funds for the Academy,without which the
school could not operate.
• Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan: With the 2015 adoption of the Town's new
Comp Plan, Forging Westlake, several ordinances have been rewritten and new ones
drafted so that the Plan's recommendations can be implemented. The task of
implementing the changes to the ordinances as well as dealing with the demands of
growth required additional staff team members in FYI 6-17. Those staffing costs are carried
forward into the FYI 7-18 budget given the significant and continued demand on staff time
for new development review and planning required in our high growth environment.

• Pursuit of Infrastructure and Services Reinvestment While Combating Certain Cost Increases:
We must also reinvest in maintaining our infrastructure. However, with growth comes the
need to allocate capital spending in new public buildings and our water and sewer utility.
An example of a key project needed to deal with the Town's growth, is a Phase 2 water
transmission line to our wholesale water provider. This is a costly project which will require us
to significantly invest in our water system.
• Staffing Levels, Insurance Costs, and Retention: Our infrastructure investment must be
monitored in tandem with the staffing needs to maintain our current service delivery levels.
This includes keeping our compensation/benefit package competitive to attract and retain
excellent employees so we can continue delivering exceptional service. We have found
this to be especially true as it relates to
having adequate staffing to deal with Overall Composite Customer Satisfaction Index

our consultant, Chris Tathum with ETC presented Council with positive feedback indicating
that our staff team is "setting the standard for service delivery compared to other
communities." Since 2009, our composite index score for overall satisfaction has increased
21 points.
• Continued Emphasis on Long-range Financial and Strategic Planning: The FY 17-18 budget
contains an updated Long-Range Financial Forecast which identifies key revenue and
expenditure drivers while assessing historical financial trends and their potential impact
upon the town's financial stability. The forecast must be monitored and updated during the
budget formulation process, as well as reviewed with the Town Council as the budget is
being prepared. Staff will also continue to produce a quarterly financial report for the
Council that monitors and analyzes trends in the General Fund, Utility Fund, and Visitor
Association Fund.The report serves as a valuable tool to assist in developing a proactive,
rather than reactive, approach to our changing financial trends.

V. UNDERSTANDING "OUR SEA OF CHANGE"
REGIONAL CHALLENGES THAT IMPACT US
Westlake does not exist in a vacuum. As stated in our Vision, we are surrounded by an "ever
expanding landscape" of urban growth in the DFW area, especially northeast Tarrant and Southern
Denton counties.
Regional factors that continue to affect Westlake include:
L�
10
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 Executive
Transmittal Letter
• DFW Metro Area Employment and Population Growth: Since 1970, the DFW Metro area has
grown by more than 150%- a faster pace than the state and the nation. At 9,500 square
miles, it is larger in total area than five (5) of our states. With a
population of nearly 6.8 million, it is the fourth largest metropolitan area rel
in the country. Forecasts from the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) predict employment to grow, in this 12-county
standard metropolitan statistical (SMSA) area, by almost 70% over the �
next 30 years. Population growth over this same 30-year period is ,
forecasted by NCTCOG to be 69%. This regional growth is currently and
will continue to impact Westlake.
• Water Demand: Westlake is in the State's Region C water planning area which covers all or
a part of 16 North Central Texas counties. The population of Region C is projected to grow
from what was nearly 6.5 million in 2010 to just over 9.9 million in 2040 and ultimately to over
14.3 million by 2070. Dry-year water demands in Region C are expected to reach 2.2 million
acre-feet per year by 2040, and 2.9 million acre-feet per year by 2070,
largely due to population growth. This increased demand will create a
projected shortage of 1.2 million acre-feet per year by 2070-which is
why planning and development of new water management strategies
are so critical. And, while much of the recent years' drought has been
alleviated by heavy rain fall in the past 12 months, increased water
demand due to growth requires that we not be complacent about
this regional issue.
• Transportation, Mobility, and Traffic Congestion: With the region's population and
employment growth, traffic and the associated congestion has also increased. The recent
2014 amendment to Mobility 2035, the region's transportation plan, estimates that between
now and 2035, an estimated $395.3 billion is needed to eliminate the worst levels of
congestion in our region. However, this plan only identifies $94.5 billion in funding for these
projects, meaning that congestion will worsen and mobility will be further impeded over
time.
VI. THIS YEAR'S BUDGET THEME AND
UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM
Context is always helpful for understanding where we stand today as a community. Each of our
budgets have reflected a theme of challenges, initiatives, and/or areas of emphasis that the
budget for that fiscal year was intended to address. Those budget themes have been:

FY2016-17
"FORGING WESTLAKE: MANAGING THE IMPACT OF GROWTH"
This fiscal year's budget emphasized moving from implementing our new
Comp Plan, to inculcating it into our budget with sufficient resources to
properly administer our planning and development review services in a way
-- - - that more effectively deals proactively with the impact of growth in all the
Town's services.
VII. THE IMPORTANCE OF "MAINTAINING OUR VISION"
The trend (of the last two (2) fiscal years) for growth in Westlake shows no sign of abating. Short of a
cooling of the local or national economy (or both), major corporations and their employees
continue to relocate to the DFW metroplex and our SH 114 corridor continues to reflect that
economic growth. This is also true for expansion of existing
i
companies and businesses in the Metroplex. So, we are now
launched into a "sea of change". Hence, this year's budget theme
of "Maintaining our Vision in a Sea of Change"
The question does not appear to be if we will grow, but rather how
we will grow. And, the "how we will grow" is why this budget theme
is so important. Using our community Vision to guide us will be key to
becoming the type of community Westlake envisions itself to be now
and into the future. This vison permeates our Comprehensive Plan EcE
(Forging Westlake) and likewise, must be reflected in this budget as
well. pl�q"KDIOP-MA GET
The growth predicted in Forging Westlake, and identified as early as the Town's FYI 4-15 Budget as
being on our horizon, is under way for the third straight year. Westlake finds itself in the "vortex" of
one of DFW's most desirable executive housing corridors. With growth now arriving in full force, it
becomes imperative that we not only understand and deal with the changes that are now
occurring, but also understand the impact that future potential growth will have if existing zoning
entitlements are fully utilized.
In the face of these growth challenges, maintaining Westlake's unique bucolic character,
exceptional quality of life, and distinctive development standards,while at the same time
managing the challenges development creates, is no small task. Growth projections of the
magnitude projected for the next 30 years in Forging Westlake require that we plan, be proactive,
13
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 Executive
Transmittal Letter
and be prudent in our decision making, all the while striving to continue to offer the high-quality
services Westlake currently enjoys. Our role as a Town government must be to maintain and
advance our position as a premier community. We have moved from planning for growth to
experiencing it and, with that,we must embrace all the challenges and benefits growth creates.
There is no doubt that we continue to face challenges- many from the "macro perspective", i.e.
challenges created by growth throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Further
challenges remain from the "micro perspective" for those specific to Westlake. The challenges, first
identified and outlined beginning in the FYI 5-16 Budget, are still in place, and it appears they will
be with us for the foreseeable future -into FYI 7-18 and beyond. Planner Robin McCaffrey's
assessment of the SH 114 corridor growth in Westlake and the reasons for it, described above, are
now coming to pass.
VIII. CLOSING THOUGHTS ON TAKING THE LONG VIEW
AND ITS BENEFITS FOR WESTLAKE
In the FYI 5-16 Budget transmittal letter, I recounted how almost 25 years ago, Westlake's governing
body recognized that their Town stood at a crossroads; one of change driven by growth in and
around Westlake. In 2013,while Westlake's vision had remained much the same, it was recognized
by the Town Council that further growth in Westlake and our surrounding area was pending and
required a proactive approach. The Council's response was to embark on a two (2) year long
process, with much community input, to formulate an updated Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan).
In March 2015, the Town Council adopted this newly drafted Comprehensive Plan which is titled
Forging Westlake. The Plan is "mission critical" for the Town to effectively deal with the growth now
occurring in Westlake in a manner that is true to our vision, values and mission as a community. The
FYI 7-19 budget was formulated to address these challenges within the context of Town Council
financial policies, available resources, our Strategy Map, and a conservative 5-year financial
forecast.
My thanks to our great Leadership Team and Finance Department staff for their dedicated
participation in this journey toward our Vision as we prepared this FY2017-18 Budget. Without their
unerring belief in that Vision, and their working as a team with the Town Council, our success in
moving towards our Vision would not be possible.

VISITOR ASSOCIATION FUND REVENUES
Hotel Occupancy Taxes are obtained through the assessment of a 7% hotel occupancy tax.
Authority granted by the State of Texas allows cities to levy a tax not to exceed 7% of the
rental rate for a hotel/motel room. Funds generated by the occupancy tax may be used in a
manner that directly enhances and promotes tourism and the convention and hotel industry.
Additionally, because Westlake has broader statutory authority under State law than most
cities to spend hotel/motel occupancy tax funds for any municipal purpose, the Town has
used these funds to cover costs of various municipal operational costs and capital projects (an
example would be payment of a portion of the debt service for Westlake Academy related
bonds).
• Total revenues are budgeted to be $826,820
• This represents a .7%increase of$6,010 from prior year estimated revenues of$820,810.
UTILITY FUND REVENUES
Utility Fund revenue is primarily comprised of fees for water and wastewater service. The fund
also receives a small portion of its revenue through tap fees and interest income, and currently
serves as a mechanism for collecting and distributing debt service and impact fees.
• Total revenues are budgeted to be $3,638,958

Service Level Adjustments
SERVICE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW
The Town utilizes "service level adjustments" to create an organizational outcome of being
fiscal stewards and tracking our cost increases or decreases. A service level adjustment (SLA)
is a request for any dollars in excess of the baseline/target budget. (FY 2016-17 budget,
adjusted for year-end estimates, less one-time purchases).
There are 2 types of "Service Level Adjustments".
Maintain
o Same level of service as previous year, but increased due to inflation, etc.
o Activities that require additional resources to maintain the current level of
service due to growth, new equipment, etc. are considered additions to the
baseline/target budget and are included in the "SLA".
New or expanded level of service.
o All requests for new personnel, programs or equipment that represent a new
addition to the current operation are considered additions to the
baseline/target budget and are included in the new costs.
o Show any revenues or reduction in current expenditures the new or expanded
levels of service will create
o Designate if item represents an "Unfunded Mandate". An unfunded mandate is
a statute or regulation that requires a state or local government to perform
certain actions, yet provides no money for fulfilling the requirements.
This budget reflects the following service level adjustments.

balanced scorecard system is designed to communicate our strategy throughout the
organization/community with our stakeholders, align our daily work activities to the overall vision,

The Balanced Scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used extensively in
business and industry, government, and nonprofit organizations worldwide to align business
activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, improve internal and external
communications, and monitor organization performance against strategic goals.
In short, it is a tool that businesses use to ensure that their work meets their goals in a measurable
way by connecting organizational strategy to the work people do on a day-to-day basis, i.e. "You

Section 1 Executive
Strategic Plan
In addition to monitoring these performance measures, the Town of Westlake also desires the
opinion of its citizens. Every two years Westlake undertakes a broad citizen survey designed to
measure government performance and to gauge the current and future needs of residents. This
survey is an incredibly useful tool within the strategic management system, and it allows Town
services to be tailored based upon citizen attitudes. Westlake's performance measures are
evolutionary and undergo on-going review.
As we improve our ability to gather and mine data about our work,we will be able to add
performance measures to the departmental business plans as a gauge of success. These
departmental efficiency and effectiveness measures will be grouped with the appropriate
outcome objective then fed into the Town-wide scorecard to give an overall picture of the Town's
performance.
As the Town continues to develop these scorecards, measurement units, data sources, and targets
will be refined.Through quarterly performance reviews, departmental performance is documented.
Trends are also tracked over time through budget documents.

the prairie. Westlake boaHolds tales of settlers from the Peters Colony, Indian treaties signed by Sam
Houston, tremendous archaeological treasures, and some of the oldest settlements in North Texas.
In the perspective of Texans it conjures images of
crystal rivers fed from designer spring waters, oak
trees dipped in Spanish moss and prairies awash in
bluebonnets. Wildlife in all its forms and a rich
history embroiders the tapestry.
Other geographical regions mark the coast, the
mountains and basins, the piney woods, the prairies
and plains, the Trans-Pecos region, but all seem tied to
the historical umbilical cord of the Cross Timbers Hill

HISTORY OF WESTLAKE
The region has always been known for its natural bounty, its
trade value, and its wonderful people. The Town of Westlake
and northeast Tarrant County has maintained that distinction
over the years, becoming one of the most desirable and
sought after places to live in America.
Early Settlers... 1847 •
The Town of Westlake was settled by Charles and Matilda
Medlin when they arrived in the area with about 20 other
families in 1847. They initially settled along Denton Creek but •
moved south to higher ground after weathering ferocious -
floods from the creek. Until 1997, the three-story Medlin barn -
was a local historic landmark. When it had to be removed,
after what was believed to be 130 years of use, for safety •
concerns. Legends include those of Sam Bass and Bonnie
and Clyde hiding in the barn.
The 1870's...
= = Dove Road was the cardinal road between Grapevine and
Roanoke. The road took its name from the Dove Community
which was located between the two towns. Dove Road
originated in the 1870's and got its name from the Lonesome
Dove Baptist Church located in the community. of

The 1930's...
In the late 1930s, Ted Dealey, turned his attention to a lush and untouched piece of the Cross Timbers
region. It was there he built a stunning country place designed by prominent architect, Charles
Dilbeck. This place was known as the 220 Ranch. The Dealey Home, which has been relocated to a
new location off Dove Road, is now known as Paigebrooke Farm.
The 1940's- 1950's
It was late in the 1940's after World War II, at about the
_ - same time that Dealey built his home, that Circle T Ranch
had its beginnings with J. Glenn Turner. He used the
place to raise and train Tennessee Walking horses, and as
a retreat and showplace. Circle T Ranch was expanded
throughout the 1950's to approximately 2,300 acres.
`rte In 1955, there were rumors of an attempt to annex Circle
T Ranch; as a defensive move, J Glenn Turner organized
the neighboring ranches and homeowners in the
surrounding community into forming their own city.
On the 27th day of December in 1956, citizens attended a meeting to declare the Town of Westlake
into existence thru incorporation and to swear in the first Board of Aldermen. The area included
what is known today as Westlake, plus the area north, to the northern shore of Denton Creek. This
northern land was annexed from Westlake and formed the town of Trophy Club in the 1970's.
The Town of Westlake has changed much since its original incorporation in 1956. During the early
years, our mayor and board members met to discuss town business in the comfort of each other's
living rooms-an interesting contrast to how our town operates today.
The 1960's...
In 1969, the Circle T Ranch was purchased by
oil millionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt. The ranch
became known for its glamorous parties
attended by celebrities from all over the world.
The 1970s ...
In the early 1970's, the state decided to name one of Westlake's well-known streets after the person
who was living in the first house on the road. That person was J.T. Ottinger. Also in the early 1970s,
Houston developer and professional golfer Ben Hogan approached Westlake about building a golf
course, country club, and a housing development. In 1973, Westlake deannexed what is now known
as the Town of Trophy Club, clearing the way for the upscale housing development and golf course.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION
There are few gifts more taken for granted than our heritage. We've all kept the old photographic
albums or maybe even been fortunate enough to have recovered a piece of wood from the house
our great-grandmother was born in. Apart from the relics and stories passed down from generation
to generation, there is little effort made in today's frantic world to preserve and protect our
community heritage. As we grow older, few of us have not paused on ocasion and wished that
certain memories could somehow be crafted and professionally woven into a legacy rather than
relegated to the yellowing pages of the picture album.
With such thoughts in mind, The Westlake Historical Preservation Board was created to discover,
preserve and perpetuate the history of our town and region that is, after all, composed of family
histories. We owe a debt of gratitude to the local volunteers whose work reflects the fact that our
past is as much a guide to our future as it is a trail to our present.
�► Westlake, a new town in an old locale, has
determined that history will have a place in town
government by creating a historical board. We
sa
invite you along the trails, traces, side roads, and
by-ways of long ago. And we can't forbear to
Y. remind you that "the best paths always lead
home;" that we are all pathfinders, in one way or

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, financial accounting, communications and community affairs, street improvements,
education and other related administrative services.
The Town utilizes a combination of both, direct service delivery along with outsourced services. 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.
The council-manager form is the system of local government that combines strong political
leadership, representative democracy through elected officials, and professional management.
The form establishes a representative form of government by concentrating all power in the
elected Town council. The council hires a professionally trained and educated Town Manager to
oversee the delivery of public services and the daily operations of the Town. Council Members are
part-time volunteers who serve as the policy making board for the Town's government.
WESTLAKE OPERATIONS
The Town of Westlake employs 137.84 full-time equivalent employees (municipal and academic) and
provides a full level of public services to its citizens as well as operates the only municipally owned

Budget 101 Overview
The Town of Westlake staff is pleased to present the 2017/2018 annual operating budget,which is
the product of many hours of preparation as well as a response to ever-changing internal and
external influences. The Town of Westlake's 2018 fiscal year begins on October 1, 2017 and ends
September 30, 2018. It provides the framework to implement the Town's vision, mission and
value statements as set out by the Town Council.
LAYOUT AND ORGANIZATION
The budget is designed to help the reader locate both financial and non-financial information in
a timely fashion.
The Fund Sections are broken down between General Fund,Special Revenue Funds, Debt
Service Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Capital Projects Fund, and Westlake
Academy Fund. Each Fund contains the following information:
• "Fund Overview" describing the function of the fund and explaining the variances
between the revenues and expenditures.
• "Program Summary" of revenues and expenditures.
Also included are sections detailing the Capital Improvement Plan, Long-Term Planning, Fiscal
and Budgetary Policy, Investment Policy, Strategic Plan and the Town ordinance related to the
adoption of the budget (after adoption).
BUDGET PREPARATION
As in previous years, efforts have been made to control expenditures while continuing to deliver
an excellent level of service to our citizens. Concentrated efforts have been made to produce
a document that clearly illustrates the uses of Town resources in a format that may be utilized as
a resource tool by the Town Council, Town staff, and the citizens of Westlake. Our budget
preparation process continues to be refined on an annual basis, operating within clearly defined
budget preparation guidelines.
Budgeting is an essential element of the financial planning, control and evaluation process of
municipal government. The "operating budget" is the Town's annual financial operating plan.
The budget includes all the operating departments of the Town, the debt service fund, all
capital projects funds, and the internal service funds of the Town. The proposed budget will be
prepared with the cooperation of all Town departments, and is submitted to the Town Manager
who makes any necessary changes and transmits the document to the Town Council. A budget
preparation calendar and timetable will be established and followed in accordance with State
law.
A "bottom-up" approach is used to solicit input from the staff Leadership Team as to their
operations' needs with an emphasis on:
• Identifying costs to provide the current level of services.
• Identifies additional cost increases needed to maintain the current level of service.
• Additional resources necessary to provide new or increased levels of service.
• Delineating changes in fund balance levels for each fund.

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
The following procedures,which are guided by generally accepted budgeting practices, has
been established:
• The annual operating budget presents appropriations of expenditures and estimates of
revenues for all local government funds. These revenues include sales and use taxes, ad
valorem property tax, citation revenue, franchise taxes, mixed beverage taxes, license
and permit fees, development fees, sales of printed material, interest income, water and
sewer utility revenue, duct bank leases, and miscellaneous revenues.
• The annual operating budget illustrates expenditures, anticipated revenues, and the
estimated impact on reserves.
• Budgets for each municipal department are broken down into specific cost
components, including payroll and related categories, supplies, services, insurance,
repair& maintenance, rent & utilities, economic development incentives, debt service
and capital outlay.
• Revenue projections are prepared for each revenue source based on an analysis of
historical revenue trends and current fiscal conditions.
• The budget process includes a multi-year projection of all required capital improvements.
• Goals and objectives have been developed for each department and are incorporated
into the evaluation of employees and performance of the organization.
• A budget message summarizing local financial conditions and principal budget issues is
presented to the governing council along with the annual budget.
In May, the Finance Department prepares such items as budget forms and instructions for
estimating revenues and expenditures. Department heads submit proposed baseline
expenditures for current service levels and any additional one-time or on-going request they
may have for their department. A round-table meeting is subsequently held with the Town
Manager, the finance staff and each department head for review.
After all funding levels are established and agreed upon; the proposed budget is presented by
the Town Manager to the Town Council. A public hearing on the budget is conducted in
accordance with state and local law. This meeting is held after the Council has reviewed the
budget during a workshop. The Town Council approves a level of expenditure (or
appropriation) for each fund to go into effect on October 1 st, prior to the expenditure of any
Town funds for that budget year.
EFFECT OF PLANNING PROCESSES ON THE BUDGET
The budget process will be coordinated to identify major policy issues for Town Council by
integrating it into the Council's overall strategic planning process for the Town. Each
department shall have a multi-year business plan that integrates with the Town's overall strategic
plan.
The Town of Westlake utilizes several planning processes that affect the development of the
operating budget. Effective planning processes assist the Town in assessing the financial
implications of current and proposed policies, programs, and assumptions. An effective plan
illustrates the likely outcomes of particular courses of actions.

Budget 101 Overview
THE BUDGET PROCESS
A proposed budget shall be prepared by the Town Manager with the participation of all the
Town's department directors.
The proposed budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation:
• personnel costs
• base budget for operations and maintenance costs
• service level adjustments for increases of existing service levels or additional services
• revenues
The proposed budget review process shall include Council participation in the review of each of the
four segments of the proposed budget and a public hearing to allow for citizen participation in the
budget preparation. The proposed budget process shall allow sufficient time to provide review,as
well as address policy and fiscal issues,by the Town Council. A copy of the proposed budget shall
be filed with the Town Secretary when it is submitted to the Town Council as well as placed on the
Town's website.
The Town Manager submits the budget to the Town Council. The Town's fiscal year begins each
year on October 1 s, and ends on September 30'h of the following calendar year.
Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the Town Manager must submit a proposed budget,
which includes:
• A budget message
• A consolidation statement of anticipated revenues and proposed expenditures for all
funds
• General fund resources in detail
• Special fund resources in detail
• A summary of proposed expenditures by department and activity
• Detailed estimates of expenditures shown separately to support the proposed
expenditure
• A description of all bond issues outstanding
• A schedule of the principal and interest payments of each bond issue
The proposed revenues and expenditures must be compared to prior year revenues and
expenditures. The budget preparation process begins early in the calendar year with the
establishment of overall town goals, objectives, and analysis of current year operations
compared to expenditures. Budget policies and procedures are reviewed at the same time to
reduce errors and omissions.
BALANCED BUDGET
As per State Law, current operating revenues, including Property Tax Reduction Sales Tax (which
can be used for operations), will be sufficient to support current operating expenditures.
Annually recurring revenue will not be less than annually recurring operating budget
expenditures (operating budget minus capital outlay). Debt or bond financing will not be used
to finance current expenditures.

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING & BUDGETING
The Town of Westlake utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting for
governmental funds; and full accrual for proprietary funds. The term "basis of
accounting/budgeting" is used to describe the timing of recognition, that is, when the effects of
transactions or events should be recognized. This refers to the conversions for recognition of
costs and revenue in budget development and in establishing and reporting appropriations that
are the legal authority to spend or collect revenues.
The Town's accounting system is organized and operated on a fund basis. A fund is a group of
functions combined into a separate accounting entity having its own assets, liabilities, equity,
revenue and expenditures/expenses.
The budget is fully reconciled to the accounting system at the beginning of the fiscal year, and
in preparing the CAFR at the end of the fiscal year. GAAP adjustments are made to reflect
balance sheet requirements and their effect on the budget. These include changes in
designations and recognition, via studies and analysis, of accrued liabilities.
Amounts needed for such long-term liabilities as future payoff of accumulated employee
vacation is budgeted as they budgeted as projections and once recognized are adjusted for
actual amounts.
In the Modified Accrual Basis,
• revenues are recognized in the period when they became available and
measurable
• expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred
In the Accrual Basis,
• revenues are recorded when earned
• expenses when the liability is incurred
The basis of budgeting and accounting is shown in the chart below

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
Budgets are prepared on the same basis of accounting that is used in financial statements. The
basis of budgeting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
corresponding accounts and reported in financial statements.
Governmental fund types, including the general fund, are budgeted using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
WHAT IS A FUND BALANCE?
It should be noted that each fund summary ends with a line named "ending fund balance."
Fund balance is defined as:
• The excess of an entity's assets over its liabilities in a fund.
• In other words, it is the balance that remains once the fund's expenditures have been
deducted from its revenues. In the Town of Westlake, the amount of fund balance for
each fund is dictated by different parameters.
In the case of the General Fund and the Utility Fund, fund balance is defined in the Town's
Financial Policies (see the Appendix). Balances are determined by other parameters such as
bond covenants for other funds. Fund balance is a fundamental barometer of fiscal wellness
and it is important to note that the fund balance for all funds meets every established
requirement.
LONG TERM FORECASTING
Most annual operating budget documents focus on a single 12-month period where spending
and revenue decisions made today will have effects that extend beyond that fiscal year.
Because of that, the Town requires that long-term forecasting be made part of the Annual
Operating Budget document.
The purpose of this is to:
• Ensure on-going financial sustainability beyond a single fiscal year or budget cycle
• Achieve the Academy's mission and vision
• Systematically link the annual budget to a multi-year master financial plan.
Should long term forecasts and analysis show that the Town does not have a "positive operating
balance" over the multi-year period, the Finance department shall bring this to the attention of
the Town Manager.
A "positive operating balance" means that the ending fund balance meets or exceeds the
minimum levels prescribed in the Town's reserve policies.
We anticipate the General Fund will maintain its minimum reserve for each of the four fiscal
years beyond the current proposed budget year as shown in the chart below.

REVENUE ESTIMATES FOR BUDGETING:
To maintain a stable level of services, the Town uses a conservative, objective, and analytical
approach when preparing revenue estimates.The process shall include analysis of probable
economic changes and their impacts on revenues, historical collection rates, and trends in
revenues. This approach should reduce the likelihood of actual revenues falling short of budget
estimates during the year and should avoid mid-year service reductions.
CENTRAL CONTROL:
Modifications within the operating categories (salaries, supplies, maintenance, services, capital,
etc.) can be made with the approval of the Town Manager. Modifications to reserve categories
and interdepartmental budget totals will be made only by Town Council consent with formal
briefing and Council action.
CONTINGENT APPROPRIATION:
During the budget process, staff will attempt to establish an adequate contingent appropriation
in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for this appropriation shall be made only in
cases of emergency, and a detailed account shall be recorded and reported. The proceeds
shall be disbursed only by transfer to departmental appropriation. All transfers from the
contingent appropriation will be evaluated using the following criteria:
• Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately?
• Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process?
• Why can't the transfer be made within the department?
PERFORMANCE MEASURES & PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS:
Where appropriate, performance measures and productivity indicators will be used as
guidelines to measure efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes of Town services. This information
will be included in the annual budget process as needed.

FUND TYPES AND STRUCTURE
Without going into too much technical jargon, funds are set up like separate companies which
must operate under the parameters that were set up when the fund was created.
Funds are unique to governmental type agencies. In the corporate world, "Funds" do not exist.
The company receives revenues and writes checks to pay for their expenses and reports them
for the company. Governments handle this process a little differently.
The Town of Westlake, along with other Municipalities throughout the State of Texas, record and
report all financial transactions using standard set by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) and General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Accordingly, these standards require all Municipalities to use individual funds that must be
categorized into one of 11 Funds Types.

instances, such as the incurrence of long-term debt, 11. Westlake Academy
expenditures related to interest on the debt is
recorded in the period that it is due.
All "Governmental Funds" are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement
focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are
included on the combined balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present
increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other
financing uses) in net current assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all Governmental Fund types.
• Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e.,when they become both
measurable and available). "Measurable" means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
• Major revenue sources which have been treated as susceptible to accrual under the
modified accrual basis of accounting include property taxes, charges for services,
intergovernmental revenues, and investment of idle funds.
• Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However,
principal of and interest on general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when
due or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt service fund for payments to
be made early in the following year.
Governmental fund types 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 and Fiduciary Fund types)
are accounted for through Governmental Fund types.

1. GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Town. It is used to account for all
Town revenues and expenditures except those required to be accounted for in other funds.
• Major functions financed by the General Fund include Finance, Administration, Building &
Code Compliance, Fire/EMS, Public Works, Facilities and Grounds Maintenance, Human
Resources, Parks and Recreation, Information Technology, and Engineering.
• Sources of revenue include sales and use taxes, development fees and permits, court
revenue, and franchise taxes. The former Westlake Property Tax Reduction Sales Tax Fund
received its funding from a '/2 cent sales tax levy that was previously earmarked for the
4A Economic Development Corporation. The purpose of this fund was to reduce local
property tax rates throughout Texas by providing cities with an additional unrestricted
revenue source. This fund was closed at FY 2010/2011 year-end and revenues are now
being recorded in the General Fund.
• These funds may be used for general Town expenditures, capital projects, or debt
service.
2. WESTLAKE ACADEMY FUND
This fund incorporates all funds related to the Town of Westlake's charter school, Westlake
Academy.This fund encompasses all operations and maintenance related to the school as
well as State public school funding, Federal and state grants, and private donations used to
support the daily school operations of the Academy.

expendable trusts or major capital projects and consists of the following:

RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
• The Visitors Association Fund receives its primary funding from a 7% hotel occupancy
tax adopted by the Town of Westlake in FY 1999/2000. Proceeds from the hotel
occupancy tax are required to be used in accordance with statutory parameters
including the promotion of travel and tourism in the Town of Westlake. Additionally,
because Westlake has broader statutory authority under State law than most cities to
spend hotel/motel occupancy tax funds for any municipal purpose, the Town has used
these funds to cover costs of various municipal operational costs and capital projects
(an example would be payment of a portion of the debt service for Westlake
Academy related bonds).
• The Public Improvement District Fund (Local) accounts for monies received from bond
proceeds, inspection fees and payments related to the Solana Public Improvement
District. The District was created by ordinance in February 2014 to finance the
construction of public infrastructure (such as water lines and streets) in the Entrada
subdivision. Revenues deposited into the PID Fund are used to cover engineering,
consulting, legal, and advertising costs attributable to Entrada development and
construction.
• The Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation was founded in 1996 and was designed "to
provide for the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, repair, equipping, furnishing
and placement in service of public facilities in an orderly, planned manner and at the
lowest possible borrowing costs." The idea was to "acquire, through the issuance of
installment sale obligations, office buildings located within the State of Texas but
outside the boundaries of Westlake,whose tenants will be limited to those entities
which are qualifying tenants under applicable federal income tax law so that the
interest payable with respect to the installment sale obligations will be exempt from
federal income taxation." There has been no activity in the fund for several years.
• The 4B Economic Development Corporation Fund is a local option established under
the Texas local government code. 413 funds are generated from a '/2 cent sales tax
levy and proceeds are used for debt service.
• The Economic Development Fund was set up to maintain all receipts and
disbursements of agreements between the Town and various corporations for
economic development. There was confusion regarding the additional revenues
being recorded in the General Fund and offset by expenditures. These balances offset
to zero but skewed the analysis of each. This fund is used to create more transparency
to the public regarding these receipts and payments.
4. DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
These funds were established to account for, and the payment of, general long-term debt
principal and interest. This fund provides a clearer accounting of ongoing debt obligations
compared to operating budgets. The Debt Service Fund is used to make scheduled
payments for all bond issuances.
70
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
• The Debt Service Fund (Property Tax)was created to keep property tax payments
separate from all remaining debt.
• The Debt Service Fund provides payments for all remaining debt being paid with transfers
from the General Fund and 4B Economic Development Corporation Fund.
5. CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS
The Capital Projects funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by
proprietary fund types) and consist of these two funds:
• The Capital Projects Fund tracks the infrastructure and building projects (other than
those financed by proprietary fund types), funded with general operating transfers,
intergovernmental revenue, bond funds and other special funding methods. Capital
expenditures are clearly identified by their respective funding sources, and projects
are shown in a clear, concise format.
• The Westlake Academy Expansion Fund (WAE) tracks the Westlake Academy Master
Facility Plan that was adopted by the Westlake Town Council/Board of Trustees in
November 2012. An Economic Development Agreement was executed between the
Town and Maguire Partners-Solana Land, L.P. requiring the developer to pay$10,000
for each residential lot associated with the Granada subdivision. These funds are
transferred to the WAE fund for future expansion use.

commercial enterprises where the intent is to recover, in whole or in part, the costs and
expenses of providing goods and services to the public. Revenues are typically generated
through usage fees based on individual demands of each customer. Enterprise funds may
be used when the governing body has determined that periodic determination of revenue
earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,
public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
• The Cemetery Fund includes all operations associated with the 5.5-acre cemetery
located on J.T. Ottinger Road which was donated during the year ended September
2008.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Town Council has established and regularly updates a comprehensive set of financial
policies for the Town of Westlake. The Town Manager and Town Council are devoted to
safeguarding and improving the financial condition of the Town of Westlake. A full listing of
policies can be found in the Municipal Policy Section of this document.
Key features of the Fiscal & Budgetary Policies include:
• Operating Budget
• Revenues Management
• Expenditure Control
• Fund Balance
• Debt Management
• Intergovernmental Relationships
• Grants
• Economic Development
• Fiscal Monitoring
• Financial Consultants
• Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting
• Capital Budget and Program
• Capital Maintenance and Replacement
• Internal Controls
• Asset Management
FUND BALANCE POLICIES
The Town Manager and Town Council are devoted to safeguarding and improving the financial
condition of the Town of Westlake
• General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance-The Town shall strive to maintain the General Fund
undesignated fund balance at,or in excess of,90 days of operation.
• Retained Earnings of Other Operating Funds-In the Utility Fund,the Town shall strive to maintain
positive retained earnings positions to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies and revenue
shortfalls.
• Use of Fund Balance-The Council delegates the responsibility to assign funds to the Town
Manager or his/her designee. The Council shall have the authority to assign any amount of
funds. Assignments may occur subsequent to fiscal year-end. The Council will utilize funds in
the following spending order: Restricted,Committed,Assigned, Unassigned
78
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
Fund Balance will be targeted to only be used with Council approval and can only be used for the
following:
• Emergencies,
• Non-recurring expenditures such as technology/FF&E (furniture,fixtures and
equipment),or major capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through
current year savings.
• Should such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective
for that fund,recommendations will be made on how to restore it.
• The Council shall approve all commitments by formal action. The action to commit
funds must occur prior to fiscal year-end,to report such commitments in the balance
sheet of the respective period, even though the amount may be determined
subsequent to fiscal year-end.
• A commitment can only be modified or removed by the same formal action.
There are four primary reasons to maintain an adequate fund balance:
• Cash Flow-It is essential for the Board of Trustees to have enough cash on hand for
payroll and other obligations to be made timely. In addition, most state and federal
grants require the Academy to make payment first before the grant will make
reimbursement.
• Unforeseen Events- Reserves often act as a contingency to meet unbudgeted and
unexpected needs, thus allowing time to make permanent changes to the budget and
preventing fiscal problems from needlessly worsening.
• Financial Security-A fund reserve demonstrates a sign of financial strength and security
to banking and financial institutions allowing the Town of Westlake to borrow funds and
sell bonds when additional facilities need to be built or renovated at more favorable
rates, thus saving the taxpayers money.
• Interest Earning- Having a fund balance allows the Academy to earn additional
revenues without having to tax citizens.
FUND BALANCE COMPONENTS
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued GASB
Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This
Statement established five components of fund balance and because circumstances differ
among governments, not everyone will report all components. GASB 54 shifts the focus of fund
balance reporting from the availability of fund resources for budgeting to "the extent to which
the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the
fund can be spent."
79
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis

• Fund Balance Reporting - The Town shall report governmental fund balances per GASB
54 definitions in the balance sheet as follows: Non-spendable, Restricted, Committed,
Assigned, Unassigned
• General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance - The Town shall strive to maintain the General
Fund unassigned fund balance at 90 days of operation.
• Use of Fund Balance - Fund Balance will be targeted to only be used with Council
approval and can only be used for the following: emergencies, non-recurring
expenditures, such as technology/FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment), or major
capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through current year savings. Should
such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective for that
fund, recommendations will be made on how to restore it.

FUTURE GFOA POLICIES TO DISCUSS
The Town of Westlake has several relevant financial policies to preserve and enhance the fiscal
health of the Town. We also identify acceptable and unacceptable courses of action, and
provide a standard to evaluate the school's fiscal performance.
80
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
Very soon, GFOA will be recommending that all governments include the following policies that
guide the development of their budget and that are central to a strategic long term approach
to financial management.
1. Operating Budget Policy
(already incorporated into the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies)
This section of the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies will also be updated to include the
following policies that guide the development of the budget and are central to a
strategic approach to our financial management.
These components will need to be reviewed, updated if necessary, and/or added and
approved by the Board of Trustees in subsequent years.
1. Basis of Budgeting
2. Budget Adoption
3. Budget Classification and Format
4. Organization of the Budget
5. Budget Message Requirement
6. Funds Budgeted
7. Length of the Budget Year
8. Presentation of Proposed Budget
9. Revenue Forecasting Requirements
10. Expenditure Forecasting Requirements
11. Performance Measurements
12. Line-Item Transfer Authority
13. Retention of Budget Record
2. Capital Asset Management
(already incorporated into the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies)
Town of Westlake operates an extensive amount of buildings, equipment, furniture, and
vehicles. This purpose of this policy is to:
o provide a management framework to ensure that all capital assets are repaired,
maintained, and replaced and
o to identify the responsible parties who shall protect, oversee and report needed
repairs.
3. Budget Crisis Procedures
(will need to be reviewed and discussed)
This policy would be intended to provide the Town of Westlake with options when
responding to unexpected fiscal issues that can and do arise. Should budget problems
materialize, these procedures will support comprehensive risk analysis and contingency
plans.
81
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Budget 101 Overview
4. Long Term Forecasting
(will need to be reviewed and discussed)
The annual operating budget focuses on a single 12-month period. However, spending
and revenue decisions made today have affects that extend beyond a 12-month
period. The purpose of this policy would be to
o Ensure on-going financial sustainability beyond a single fiscal year
o Achieve the Town's mission and vision
o Systematically link the annual budget to a multi-year master financial plan.
5. Reserve Policy in Other Funds
(will need to be reviewed and discussed)
While the General Fund Reserve is the most important for the Town of Westlake, reserves
in other funds are just as important. For that reason, the funds listed in this policy would
have reserves that are restricted or committed for specific purposes.
6. General Fund Budget Reserves
(already incorporated into the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies)
The General Fund is the primary fund used by the Town of Westlake to account for
revenues and expenditures. Accordingly, the General Fund Reserve Policy is intended to
provide the Town with options when responding to unexpected issues and to afford a
buffer against shocks and other forms of risk.
General Fund Budget Reserves requires minimum reserves of total General Fund
Expenditures with amounts committed to:
• Property & Casualty Insurance
• Severance pay for Sick Leave and Annual Leave
• General Liability Insurance Deductibles
• Catastrophic events (unforeseen emergencies- natural disaster)
One of two things must happen in the future if we cannot spend equal to or less than
the revenues received: (1) make future reductions (2) approve new taxes.

Ad Valorem Property Tax
An ad valorem tax (Latin for "according to value")
is a tax whose amount is based on the value of
a transaction or of property.
A property tax is an ad valorem tax that an
owner of real estate or property pays on the
value of the property being taxed.

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Personnel Summary Overview
COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT STRATEGIES ARE ALIGNED TO THE
TOWNS STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF "ATTRACT,DEVELOP AND
RETAIN A SKILLED WORKFORCE"
Given the funding constraints governments are facing, accurate expenditure projections are more
important than ever. Since salaries make up the greatest portion of the expenditure budget, it is
logical to apply forecasting techniques that can provide a true picture of where payroll dollars are
headed.
Personnel staffing levels for the Town of Westlake are presented in full-time equivalents (FTE)
positions. For example, a position staffed for 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year (2,080 hours)
equals one full-time equivalent position. For firefighter/paramedic positions, an FTE is based on
2,912 hours per year, or an average of 56 hours per week is used. An FTE position of .50 refers to a
position that is funded for 1,040 hours per year (2,080 x .50). The personnel count includes vacant
positions.

Vacancy Adjustments
Not all positions will be filled 52 weeks per year, and so these expected vacancies are addressed
in the salary budgeting process.
• Start Dates- Expected start dates for open positions may vary. Keeping track of those
assumptions is important because a large dollar variance may result when an actual start
date differs from the budgeted date.
• Attrition (Planned Retirements) - Budget consideration should be given for those positions
where employees have indicated specific retirement dates. Payouts need to be
budgeted.
• Impact of Inflation - Inflation can have a significant impact on payroll forecasting. Cost-of-
living adjustments often are used when forecasting personnel costs. The Consumer Price
Index (CPI), a broad measure of consumer inflation, is the cost-of-living index used most
often for determining salary increases. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employment Cost
Index might be a better index for this purpose, as it measures the change in the cost of
labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries.
• Seasonal and Temporary Positions -Some divisions or jurisdictions use part-time or seasonal
employees. Park districts, for example, often adjust staffing levels by season.
• Other Considerations -Some governments make more use of overtime as an option
instead of hiring fulltime workers. The use of retired employees for contractual services is
another alternative to adding headcount.
Fair Labor Standards Act(FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act established minimum wage, overtime, recordkeeping, and child
labor standards and applies to all full-time and part-time employees. As amended in 1985, the
FLSA provides the option for compensatory time in lieu of overtime compensation for non-exempt
employees. Executive, administrative, and professional employees meeting Department of Labor
exemption guidelines are exempt from FLSA overtime requirements. The Town will comply with the
FLSA for all employees.

Compensation Plan and Salary Survey
The Town of Westlake believes that market-based salary, in combination with employee
competence and their overall contribution to the Town's success, should largely determine their
compensation and career advancement opportunities. The ultimate goal of the compensation
plan is to attract and retain top talent, and utilize best practices in all systems and processes
supporting the plan. The philosophy and objectives of this pay policy are as follows:
• First, the Town's pay system should be internally equitable. It must ensure that pay ranges
of each position within our organization reflects the value of comparable positions within
our organization. In order to achieve this,we must pay employees fairly compared to
their coworkers, and employees must also perceive that they are paid fairly compared
to their coworkers.
• Second, The Town's pay system must be externally competitive in the market place, so
that the Town of Westlake support or strategic outcome objective to attract, recruit, and
retain highly qualified employees who are vital to accomplishing the organization's vision
and mission.
• Third, to be motivational to our employees, providing the opportunity for future pay
increases based upon individual work performance and development of job-related skills
and competencies.
After issuing an RFP for a market survey and development of the compensation plan, an
independent consultant was selected to conduct a market survey and develop a
compensation system.The market survey is conducted annually utilizing data from cities in the
immediate geographical area, in addition to cities with similar demographics and citizen
expectations of high-quality customer service.

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Personnel Summary Overview
For its first year of implementation (FY 16-17), employees have been
placed within the established pay band for their position at their current Bedford
rate of pay, adjusted for a three (3) percent market adjustment. To Colleyville
promote internal equity, positions that have surveyed further below market Coppell
received a higher market adjustment, at the discretion of their supervisor Euless
and with Town Manager approval. In the fiscal years following FY 16-17, Flower Mound
depending on market survey results and availability of funding, the Frisco
municipal broad band pay system may have both a performance pay Grapevine
component in addition to market adjustments, dependent upon the Hurst
availability of financial resources. Keller
Lewisville
The Town of Westlake salary survey has historically utilized data from the McKinney
Waters Consulting Group in addition to data obtained directly from other North Richland Hills
cities. For FY 16-17, Position Analysis Questionnaires (PAQs) and position Roanoke
descriptions were provided to the consultant during the development of Southlake
the compensation system. This information was matched to similar University Park
positions in fifteen (15) cities using a proprietary database to determine
proper placement of each position in the pay band.
Pay Increases
Salary adjustments will be made in order to remain competitive, retain talent, and reward
outstanding performance. Pay increases may occur due to market adjustments, or through
performance pay. All forms of compensation are subject to Town Manager approval and
available funding appropriated on an annual basis by the Town Council.
Market Adjustments
In order to maintain accurate position classifications, the Town of Westlake will conduct a position
analysis of 1/3 (one-third) of the organization's positions each year, ensuring that all positions are
reviewed on a rolling three-year basis. Depending on the results of the market study, and if funds
are available, all or some of the salary bands will be proposed to the Town Council for adjustment
based upon the results of the annual market salary study. Proposed adjustments to any pay band
will not be proposed unless the market study indicates bands have increased by 2.5%or
more. Employee salaries may receive a market adjustment if their current salary has shifted to
become less than 97.5% of the market average. If any market adjustment is approved, all pay
ranges and steps will be adjusted accordingly on the first day of the fiscal year. This does not
include the Town Manager,whose compensation is determined by the Town Council.
Performance Pay
On-going performance pay may be awarded to individuals or teams who, as determined in their
performance evaluation, have clearly gone "above and beyond" their traditional roles,job duties,
and assignments over the evaluation period. Performance pay is awarded through the review
process and the established criteria outlined by the HR Department.
One-time performance pay may be offered to employees or teams who, based on performance
evaluation, have been determined to have gone "above and beyond" expectations. One-time
performance pay is a lump-sum, one-time payment, and will not impact the base pay of the
employee and will not move their pay within their position's assigned band. All performance pay,
whether on-going or one-time adjustments, is dependent upon the availability of financial
resources.

Section 2 Financial Analysis
Forecast Overview
GOALS OF LONG-RANGE PLANNING, MULTI-YEAR PLANNING
Multiyear planning is a key component of Westlake's financial principles. Without proper planning,
multi-year sustainability would not be attainable.
With these priorities in mind, the Town approaches multiyear planning from these perspectives:
• First, as it relates to revenue, effective economic analysis is essential to accurate
forecasting. Various data on local economic information is used when projecting revenues
for the budget. This data includes economic indicators such as interest rates, wages, health
care costs, consumer spending, and housing and commercial growth. The data gathered
from these sources are used to create financial scenarios for stronger current budget
decisions. KEY REVENUE DRIVERS
• On the expenditure side, the operational impact of
projects and programs have been identified and Tax Rate
incorporated into the budget and a multi-year Net Taxable Value
analysis has been completed to confirm the Sales Tax
sustainability of the budget over time.
Mixed Beverage Tax
One of the goals for the budget is to anticipate and make Franchise Fees
deliberate decisions to reach financial and service goals. Licenses & Permits
These trends are graphed and provided as a part of this Charges for Services
budget's support materials to provide a deeper Intergovernmental Revenues
understanding of the Town's overall financial condition.
Fines & Forfeitures
The Long-Range Financial Forecast takes a forward look at Interest Income
the Town's revenues and expenditures. It sets the stage for
the budget process, facilitating both Council and staff in establishing priorities and allocating
resources appropriately.
Forecasting gives the Council time to strategize as to course
we may want to make financially, both in the short and long KEY EXPENDITURE DRIVERS
term. To maximize the benefit of long-range planning, Overtime Costs
Council has established the following goals: Operating Supplies
Sustain existing programs at high service levels. Apparatus &Tools
Maintain a healthy General Fund balance of at least
90 operating days annually. Motor Vehicle Fuel
Maintain competitive employee compensation within Maintenance
3%of the median for the market. Travel,Training & Dues
Provide adequate and stable funding for street and Utility Costs
facility maintenance projects.
Professional Services
Its purpose is to identify financial trends, shortfalls, and issues Insurance Costs
so the Town can proactively address them. It does so by Fleet Replacements
projecting out into the future the fiscal results of continuing Capital Equipment Replacements
the Town's current service levels and policies, providing a
snapshot of what the future will look like as a result of the decisions made in the recent past.
The purpose of the forecast is to get an idea (based on conservative assumptions) regarding what
will happen in the regional and state economy, and on near-term and long-term revenue and
expenditure drivers during the five (5) year planning period. The term "conservative" used in the
context of financial forecasting means revenues are forecast at low growth levels or even at a
decline (depending on the revenue source).
108
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 2 Financial Analysis
Forecast Overview
Expenditures,while not necessarily being forecast as declining, are generally forecast with a 2-3%
escalation rate, depending on inflation. Forecasts generally have at least one scenario where all
that is assumed on expenditures is the current level of service and perhaps some growth in
salary/wage expenditures.
The Council can, if they wish, ask that certain service level adjustments, whether it is service
expansion or reduction, be included as alternate scenarios, particularly if it appears that revenues
will not cover expenditures in the out years of the forecast.
It is important to remember that economic conditions play in forecasting, particularly as it relates to
sales tax, which can be a volatile revenue source. If economic conditions improve, sales tax
receipts are affected (usually positively) as well as building permit revenue.
Fund balance - is a term used to describe the net position of governmental funds calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Budget professionals
commonly use this same term to describe the net position of governmental funds calculated on a
government's budgetary basis.
GAAP financial statements report up to five separate categories of fund balance based on the
type and source of constraints placed on how resources can be spent (presented in descending
order from most constraining to least constraining):
a. non-spendable fund balance,
b. restricted fund balance,
c. committed fund balance,
d. assigned fund balance,
e. unassigned fund balance.
The total of the amounts in these last three categories (where the only constraint on spending, if
any, is imposed by the government itself) is termed unrestricted fund balance.
General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance-The Town shall strive to maintain the General Fund
undesignated fund balance at, or in excess of,90 days of operation.
Use of Fund Balance-The Council delegates the responsibility to assign funds to the Town Manager or
his/her designee. The Council shall have the authority to assign any amount of funds. Assignments may
occur subsequent to fiscal year-end. The Council will utilize funds in the following spending order:
Restricted,Committed,Assigned, Unassigned
Fund Balance will be targeted to only be used with Council approval and can be only be used for the
following:
Emergencies,
Non-recurring expenditures such as technology/FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment), or
major capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through current year savings.
Should such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective for
that fund, recommendations will be made on how to restore it.
The Council shall approve all commitments by formal action. The action to commit funds
must occur prior to fiscal year-end, to report such commitments in the balance sheet of the
respective period, even though the amount may be determined subsequent to fiscal year-
end.
A commitment can only be modified or removed by the same formal action.

Program Trends
® Permanent Population Growth: Residential and mixed-use developments have the potential
to significantly increase our permanent population and as of late, we have had a marked
increase in the number of residential homes being constructed
®The second phase of the infrastructure for the Granada residential subdivision, at the corner
of Solana Blvd. and FM 1938/Davis Blvd., is complete with new homes being constructed.
®The Quail Hollow residential development located southeast of the intersection of Dove
Road and FM 1938/Davis Blvd. should be completed in this budget year.
®The first phase of the Charles Schwab corporate campus located just south of the
intersection of SH 170 and SH 114 is approved and under construction. This phase includes
over 1,000,000 square feet. Completion is scheduled for 2019.
®The adopted Entrada mixed-use development, along SH 114, is planned to be constructed
over the next several years. It will include both commercial and residential components and
feature a Spanish village theme.
® Housing Start Increases: Westlake is expecting continued single family residential construction
as a result of Granada, Quail Hollow and Entrada. At least 30 single family permits are
estimated to be issued this year.
®Solana: Low supply and high demand in the suburban office market coupled with the robust
growth along the SH 114 corridor have led to an increase in tenant finish-outs in the existing
Solana buildings. Interest in the remaining undeveloped portions of the PD1 zoning district
has also increased.

Program Service Description
FINANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
The Finance Department is responsible for collecting, recording,
summarizing, and reporting the results of all financial transactions of
the following entities in a timely manner and in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles while ensuring
compliance with applicable state and federal statutes, bond
covenants and grant contracts by reviewing financial data and
reporting such in a timely manner.
• Payroll Processing - The Finance Department is responsible for the payment of salaries and
wages according to established procedures on specified days according to the adopted
payroll calendar. The Town of Westlake operates two payroll systems concurrently; one for
employees who are on a normal 40-hour work week, and another cycle for DPS employees
who work 24-hour shifts. This dual system is commonplace in cities to accommodate FLSA
requirements.
• Budgets-The Town's annual budget is prepared in the context of a five (5-8) year financial
forecast. The proposed budget is submitted to the Council approximately thirty to forty-five
days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year for their consideration. The Town's budget is
allocated by fund and is designed to provide a clear picture of the Town's spending,
allocation of financial resources, and priorities as well as how they are set to carry out the
policy direction of the Council.
• Westlake Academy - The Department works with the Education Service Center (Region 1 1) to
help maintain Westlake Academy's financial system and fiscal controls, i.e. general ledger,
and payroll. Accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash management have been
brought in house with the addition of personnel.
• Cash Collections - The establishment of strong internal controls for cash collections is
necessary to prevent mishandling of funds and to safeguard against loss. In addition, strong
internal controls are designed to protect employees from inappropriate charges of
mishandling funds by defining employee responsibilities in the cash handling process. Cash is
considered to include coin, currency, checks, money orders, and credit card transactions.
•Audits - In conjunction with maintaining financial records, the Department is responsible for
the preparation for and coordination of the annual external financial audits for the Town of
Westlake, Westlake Academy and Westlake Academy Foundation.
• Fraud - The Town of Westlake is committed to protecting its revenue, property, information
and other assets from any attempt, either by members of the public, contractors, agents,
intermediaries or its own employees, to gain by deceit, financial or other benefits. It is
Westlake's intent to fully investigate any suspected acts of fraud, misappropriation or other
similar irregularity.

Accounts Payable - The Accounts Payable section of the Finance Department is responsible
for reviewing all invoices for making payments of all legally incurred and property authorized
obligations. Payments will be issued in a manner to maintain the credit worthiness of the Town
of Westlake and Westlake Academy and to take advantage of all available discounts.
Program Trends
• Finance and accounting are core functions that often expand in direct correlation with an
organization that continues to expand
• Staff experience has increased with the addition of a Finance Technician II to handle all
financial matters related to the Academy and the Westlake Academy Foundation.
• Plans for continued future expansion at Westlake Academy combined with residential
population increases and economic development will continue to challenge the Finance
Department's ability to maintain the highest levels of service and quality with existing staffing.

INTERNAL PROCESSES
Workflow for Accounts Payable-The Finance Dept. is in the process of streamlining the
accounts payable process using AP Workflow through Laserfiche and STW. The accounts
payable (AP) process touches every Dept.within the organization and when the AP process is
inefficient, it doesn't just make life difficult- it can cost money. We are making dramatic
changes to the performance of our municipal AP function by digitizing and automating the
process, slashing the time required to make payments and eliminating conflict,
miscommunication, and re-work. Streamlining and automating our accounts payable process

The Utility Fund is an enterprise or business fund.
This means that the direct beneficiaries of the
"business" pay for all costs through fees or rates.
Water, sewer service, and garbage service
revenues generated through our rates, as well as
the expenses for providing these services are
accounted for in this fund.
Prudent financial management and bond
requirements make it necessary to have healthy
reserves.

Section 4 Enterprise Funds
Utility Fund Overview
The Utility Fund is responsible for water,wastewater, and ductbank services. All activities related to
the provision of these services are accounted for in the fund, including administration, operations,
maintenance, financing and related debt service, billing, and collection.
Capital and operating costs associated with Town utility services are financed primarily through user
charges. The Town continues to use advanced automated technologies to control storage facility
inflows and minimize annual peak payment charges from the City of Fort Worth.
Revenues and Other Sources
• Total revenues and other sources are budgeted to be$3,984,175
• This represents a 1%increase of$24,640 from prior year estimated revenues of$3,959,565.
o Charges for services increased $24,610 due to anticipated population growth.
o The following revenues will remain flat for FY 17/18.
■ Permits and fees of$168,865
■ Investment earnings of$14,120
■ Miscellaneous income of$35,430

mechanism for collecting and distributing debt service and impact fees.
• Water Revenue$2,706,013
The Utility Fund is the recipient of all revenue generated from water sales in the Town. As
Westlake's customer base continues to expand,additional demands will be placed on the utility
system, requiring incremental expansion and maintenance of infrastructure.
• Wastewater Revenue$834,395
Wastewater revenue is the second largest component of the Utility Fund. Revenue is expected to
grow proportionate to future non-irrigation water demands.
• Ductbank Permit Fees$83,700
The ductbank is a series of Town owned conduit that houses underground telecommunication
infrastructure in portions of Westlake. Revenues are contingent upon utility companies leasing out
portions of the ductbank.The Town continues to anticipate growth in new ductbank leases with
telecommunications companies.
• Tap and Impact Fees
$93,135 These revenues are a direct reflection of new home starts.
• Waste Management$5,415
The Town receives a 12%fee from its franchisee. The current rate for solid waste and recycling
service remains unchanged since 2008.

improvements and maintenance of Westlake's water and wastewater infrastructure.

approved by the Town Council at the January 2017 Town Council meeting.

Section 4 Enterprise Funds
Utility Fund Overview
The Utility Fund is burdened with three outstanding long-term obligations.
• The long-term liability of the loan from Hillwood to the Town to construct 16" and 20" transmission
water lines and the US 377 Pump Station.
o The Town is contractually obligated to pay for this infrastructure through a surcharge on
water rates. The Town is divided into two service areas, one being the Circle T Ranch,
and the remaining areas within the Town's limits which constitute the "Town" service
area. The Town pays Hillwood $.25 cents per 1,000 gallons of water distributed to
consumers in these two service areas. Each service area pays its respective portion of
the overall debt based on the volume of water used.
o The contract clearly stipulates that this debt is not a general obligation of the Town. It is,
however,required to be paid back through this assessment being attached to the
water rate. The rate would have to be significantly increased to pay this debt off in the
twenty years contemplated under the agreement.
o Hillwood has stated that once the Town and Hillwood agree on proportionate future
infrastructure funding,this liability will be erased. Nevertheless,the obligation does exist
and water rates should always be reviewed with this obligation in mind.
• The long-term liability of the joint Westlake/Keller water tower.
o This tower was constructed to provide necessary water storage and pressures within
Westlake.
• The proportionate buyout of infrastructure owned by the Hunt Trust which sold the Circle T
Ranch to Hillwood.
o The Town agreed with Hillwood that in exchange for the dissolution of existing Municipal
Utility Districts (MUDs),the Utility Fund will reimburse Hillwood the share of purchased MUD
infrastructure for each development based upon the acres removed from the MUDS.
o Hillwood, in turn, must deposit these funds into an escrow account owned by the Hunt
Trust.

Utility Maintenance & Replacement Overview
The Utility Maintenance & Replacement Fund (UMR) was created to provide a mechanism for
repair and replacement of existing capital assets such as pump stations, lift stations, elevated
and ground storage facilities, water and sewer lines, etc.
This fund receives planned revenue transfers from the Utility Fund that are intended to cover
the cost of future capital repair and replacement. Similar to the General Maintenance and
Replacement Fund, the UMR was created to help avoid future bond programs and encourage
a conservative pattern of spending that minimizes reliance on elastic revenue streams.
Projects are included each year from a long-range maintenance schedule which incorporates
routine scheduled maintenance, recommended replacement guidelines and evaluations, and
upgrades of lines and permanent capital assets.
Revenues and Other Sources
• Revenues and other sources are budgeted at$4,500.
• This represents a 96%decrease of$100,000 from the prior year estimated of$104,500.
o Transfers in from the Utility Fund were$100,00 in the prior year and have been
decreased to zero for the current year.
Expenditures and Other Uses
• Expenditures and other uses are budgeted at$245,000.
• This represents a 36%decrease of$135,000 from the prior year estimated of$380,000.
o Maintenance and replacement projects reflect a 100%increase of$245,000.
o The following projects are budgeted for FYI 7/18:
■ Pump Station Equipment$100,000
■ Repaint Ground Storage Tank$100,000
■ Sewer Easement Cleaning Machine$45,000
o Transfers out are budgeted to decrease 100%when compared to prior year
estimate of$380,000. This is due to one-time transfers out to the General M&R Fund
budgeted in the prior year for furniture,fixtures, etc.related to the new municipal
building.
Fund Balance
• Excess revenues over(under) expenditures are projected to the$(240,500).
• The beginning fund balance is projected to be$447,439.
• The ending fund balance is projected to be$206,939.

Section 6 Internal Service Funds
General Maintenance & Replacement Overview
The General Maintenance & Replacement Fund (GMR) was created to provide a mechanism
for the long term repair and replacement of large capital assets such as HVAC, walls, floors and
ceilings, plumbing, electric, roadways, etc.
This fund receives planned revenue transfers from each operating fund that owns and maintains
capital assets. Accumulated funds are intended to cover the cost of future capital repair and
replacement. The GMR is designed to (1) avoid future bond programs, (2) encourage a
conservative pattern of spending, (3) minimize reliance on revenue streams that are vulnerable
to fluctuations in the economy, such as the sales tax, and (4) prevent excessive maintenance
and repair costs via the timely replacement of capital assets. Project lists are developed
annually from a long-range facility maintenance schedule and incorporated into a routine
schedule for maintenance and replacement of major facility equipment, infrastructure and
permanent capital assets.
Revenues and Other Sources
• Revenues and Other Sources are budgeted to be$307,750.
• This represents a 69%decrease of$691,050 from the prior year estimated budget of$998,600
due to the decrease in the following:
o Transfers in from the General Fund-$310,550.
o Transfers in from the Utility Maintenance & Replacement Fund -$380,000.
Expenditures and Other Uses
• Expenditures and Other Uses are budgeted to be$287,000.
• This is a 77%decrease of$939,745 from the prior year estimated budget of$1,226,745.

The Town of Westlake owns, operates, and maintains
a fleeet of vehicles and recognizes that deferred
maintenance and not anticipating capital replacement
needs increases future capital costs.
These guidelines provide a fiscally responsible vehicle

Section 5 Internal Service Funds
Guidelines for Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement
BUDGETING FOR RECURRING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Planning for non-periodic recurring capital expenditures may at first glance seem like a
difficult endeavor, but in fact dealing with them can be as simple as setting aside a
small portion of revenue over time. For example, if a piece of necessary capital has
been estimated to have an operational life of 10 years and costs $10,000, the town
could set aside $1,000 toward the recurring capital expenditures account each year.
Then, when it comes time to replace the unit, there will be little, if any, disruption to the
town's cash flow. Note that changing market forces, such as inflation, also need to be
accounted for in the calculation, since an item that cost $10,000 a decade ago likely
costs more today.
EXAMPLE OF RECURRING CAPITAL EXPENSE IN TRANSPORTATION
Municipalities that rely on motor vehicles for their livelihood face a recurring, though
sometimes unpredictable, capital expense in the form of vehicle repairs and
replacement. A few different approaches are available that can be used to deal with
the realities of this expense. The most common and simplest way is to make repairs as
vehicle damage crops up and replace the vehicles once they are completely
unusable, which under most circumstances is a reasonable policy. The Town has
approved guidelines for replacement based on a point system. Staff reviews each
vehicle annually to determine the feasibility of the service length of the vehicle based
on the total points.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
Annually, available funds will be evaluated during the budget process and a
percentage of each operating fund's budget will be recommended to the Council for
transfer. Upon approval by the Council, the recommended amount will be transferred
to the appropriate funds (General or Utility Maintenance Replacement Fund) for major
maintenance/ replacement of street, building roof, flooring, air conditioning,
equipment, etc.
Vehicle and equipment replacement criteria will be developed according to each
item anticipated useful service life. Typically, this is based upon the type or "category"
of the vehicle/equipment and its usage. Each item will be surveyed annually and
assigned a score based upon the Point Range and Guideline document. A vehicle will
be replaced according to the established criteria unless the Department Head(s) and
the Town Manager's office determine that: 1) mechanical failure or vehicle damage

Section 5 Internal Service Funds
Guidelines for Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement
Funding for vehicle/equipment replacement should be incrementally allocated from
department operating funds to a restricted Capital Maintenance and Replacement
Fund, subject to funding availability on an annual basis. Future vehicle/equipment
replacements should be funded from this restricted fund, which receives accumulated
operating fund transfers based upon the Vehicle and Equipment Depreciation
Schedule.
Funding will consist of an annual set-aside based upon a straight-line depreciation for
each vehicle over the course of its useful life and budgeted as part of the annual
budget development process.
Depreciation fees should commence the same fiscal year of each new and
replacement vehicle/equipment purchase. Likewise, depreciation expenses should be
expensed from the respective department operating budget and deposited into the
Capital Maintenance and Replacement Fund. Depreciation expenses shall continue
through the service life of the new vehicle/equipment and shall cease upon retirement
of said vehicle/equipment.
REPLACEMENT AND DEPRECIATION GUIDELINES
Purpose - To provide a fiscally responsible vehicle and equipment replacement and
depreciation policy, which will enable the Town of Westlake to maximize asset utilization
while maintaining a positive public image and being fiscally responsible in our
budgeting and fleet replacement programs.
Policy - Replacement criteria for Town-owned vehicles and equipment will depend
primarily on a point system, which is based upon the following factors:
• Age
• Miles/Hour Usage
• Type of Service
• Reliability
• Maintenance and Repair Costs (not to include incident repairs)
• Condition
Point Range Chart Note: The Town may decide to retain a vehicle beyond the stated
criteria after an evaluation of anticipated usage, repairs and operating costs. Each
Town vehicle and small equipment have been placed in a specific category (as listed
below) in order to allow for uniformity in our replacement standards.

Guidelines for Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement
Category "A" - This category consists of the one (1) 18-passenger and one (1 ) 20-
passenger school bus. The life span for school bus is 10 years. The Fire Department
which includes engines, ladder truck, ambulances, and attack truck which are used
primarily as a front-line response vehicle. The front-line life-span of the Engine is 15
years and has a reserve life-span for additional five years. The ambulance front-line
life-span is seven years and has a reserve vehicle life-span for additional seven. The
Town currently has one (1 ) Engine, one (1) Attack Truck and two (2) Ambulances.
Category "B" - This category consists of Maintenances and Public Works vehicles which
are used to serve the public on a day-to-day basis and pull trailers. Due to the heavy
use, these vehicles may be scheduled for replacement at 100,000 miles provided the
maintenance cost is considerably higher than vehicles of the same type. The Town
currently has two (2) Public Works trucks.
Category"C" - This category consists of all other cars and pickups, which include
administration pool car, building inspection truck, warrant officer public safety vehicle.
These vehicles are generally assigned to a designated staff member and should not
be replaced earlier than 100,000 miles provided the maintenance cost is considerably
higher than vehicles of the same type.
Category "D" - This category consists of other off-road equipment (mule and mowers)
that are used to serve the public on an "as needed" basis. Replacement of this
category may be made after 2,500 operating hours, or provided the maintenance cost
is considerably higher than equipment of the same type. The Town currently has one (1)
Kawasaki utility vehicle and (1) mower.
Category "E" - This category consists of light equipment (weed-eaters, chain saw and
pumps, generators, trailers, and other small hand-operated equipment) which are
used to serve the public on an "as needed" basis. Replacements in this category may
be made after the total maintenance cost exceeds the original purchase price of a
particular piece of equipment. The cost of upgrading a piece of equipment will be
the responsibility of the operating division. The Town currently has one weed-trimmer,
chain saw, blower, small generator and a trailer.
GUIDE FOR EARLY REPLACEMENT OF TOWN-OWNED VEHICLES
Early Replacement - The consideration of early replacement of a vehicle often arises
when major expenditures are necessary to restore it to a safe operating condition
(e.g., major component failure or incident damage). The economic effect of such
repairs cannot be avoided because the cost to the Town is normally about the same
242
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 5 Internal Service Funds
Guidelines for Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement
whether the vehicle is sold in un-repaired condition or restored to repaired condition.
However, replacement prior to the normal criteria for vehicles will result in an acceleration
of all future replacement cost cycles required to satisfy a continuing vehicle need. This
acceleration of cost cycles causes a sizable increase in the total present value cost of
all fixture cycles and should be avoided whenever possible. Major vehicle repairs should
always be made, with two exceptions:
1 . Major expenditures for repair should not be made when the cost of the repair
plus the vehicle salvage in un-repaired condition exceeds its wholesale value in
repaired condition.
2. Major deferrable expenditures should not be made when a vehicle is in the final
six months of its retention cycle. During this period, the penalty for early
replacement is small and, therefore, the vehicle should be replaced rather than
repaired.
Depreciation Formula - Current acquisition price of each vehicle divided by the
utilization cycle mileage or total maintenance cost) will provide the yearly
depreciation allowance.
EXAMPLE A-Vehicles
Mileage: $30,000 vehicle divided by the target replacement cycle of 100,000
miles will give you a depreciation cost of $.30 per mile.
$0.30 times the number of miles (20,000) the vehicle was driven the previous
year will give you the yearly depreciation amount $6,000.
EXAMPLE B -Small Equipment
Maintenance Cost: depreciate the original purchase price by 15% per year, for
power hand tools, trailers, etc. Replace the item only when the maintenance
cost reaches the original purchase price.

Section 6 Special Revenue Funds
Visitors Association Fund
The Visitors Association Fund was established in late FY 1999-2000 and collects a Hotel Occupancy Tax
from the Marriott Solana, Deloitte,and any future Westlake hotels. A 7%tax is levied on the cost of
nightly room rentals,the maximum allowable under State law.
Funds generated by the occupancy tax are generally restricted to uses that directly promote tourism
and the convention and hotel industry. However, Westlake has broader statutory authority under State
law than most cities,and may spend hotel/motel occupancy tax funds for any municipal purpose, and
so the Town has used these funds to cover various operational costs and capital projects.
Since FY 2004/05,the Town has used Visitors Association Fund revenues to sponsor a shuttle service and
a "Group Business Incentive Program" in partnership with the Marriott Solana that have drawn
additional visitors to Westlake. This fund also accounts for activities related to the Westlake Historical
Board, Public Art Committee,and Westlake's annual Arbor Day celebration.
In prior years,the Visitors Association Fund was used (via transfer out) to make the debt service
payment for the Westlake Academy Arts and Sciences building; however, as of FY17/18 the series 2013
refunding debt payments (originally series 2008) for has been moved to Debt Service Fund 301 to be
covered by property tax revenues as these bonds are tax supported.

Section 7 Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds Overview
The two Debt Service Funds for the Town of Westlake are used to manage payments on all
general government related debt associated with the construction of Westlake Academy
facilities. Any future debt issuances will also be paid from these two funds.
Town Council and staff are dedicated to a conservative pattern of debt issuance that ensures
property tax rates remain among the lowest in the region and attractive to prospective
businesses and residents. Recognizing that long-term debt is usually a more expensive financing
method, alternative financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When debt is
issued, it will be used to acquire major assets with expected lives which equal or exceed the
average life of the debt issue.
Debt Management Practices
Debt management policies are written guidelines and restrictions that affect the amount and
type of debt issued by a state or local government, the issuance process, and the management
of a debt portfolio. A debt management policy improves the quality of decisions, provides
justification for the structure of debt issuance, identifies policy goals, and demonstrates a
commitment to long-term financial planning, including a multi-year capital plan.
Adherence to a debt management policy signals to rating agencies and the capital markets
that a government is well managed and should meet its obligations in a timely manner. Debt
levels and their related annual costs are important long-term obligations that must be managed
within available resources. An effective debt management policy provides guidelines for a
government to manage its debt program in line with those resources.
The Town of Westlake debt management policies are reviewed annually and revised as
necessary and address the following:
✓ Direct Debt- debt payable from ad valorem ISIS tax, and other available fund of the
Town.
✓ Interfund Borrowing- loans for short-term cash flow needs.

Council approved multi-year capital improvement plan and forecast for all Town facilities and
infrastructure.

Section 7 Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds Overview
Debt Structuring Practices
Includes specific policies regarding the debt structuring practices for each type of bond,
including:
• Maximum term (often stated in absolute terms or based on the useful life of the
asset),
• Average maturity,
• Debt service pattern such as equal payments or equal principal amortization,
• Use of optional redemption features that reflect market conditions and/or needs of
the government,
• Use of variable or fixed-rate debt, credit enhancements, and short-term debt, and
limitations as to when each can be used, and
• Other structuring practices should be considered such as capitalized interest,
deferral of principal and/or other internal credit support, including general obligation
pledges.
Debt Issuance Practices
Provides guidance regarding the issuance process,which may differ for each type of debt.
These practices include:
• Criteria for determining the sale method (competitive, negotiated, placement) and
investment of proceeds,
• Criteria for issuance of advance refunding and current refunding bonds,
• Selection and use of professional service providers,
• Use of comparative bond pricing services or market indices as a benchmark in
negotiated transactions, as well as to evaluate final bond pricing results, and
• Use of credit ratings, minimum bond ratings, determination of the number of ratings,
and selection of rating services.
Analysis of Debt Issuance and Debt Issuance Alternatives
Staff will explore alternatives to the issuance of debt for capital acquisitions and construction projects.
These alternatives will include, but not be limited to,
• Grants
• Use of reserves
• Use of either current on-going general revenues or one-time revenues
• Contributions from developers and others
• Leases
• Userfees
• Impact fees

Section 7 Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds Overview
1. Debt financing instruments to be considered by the Town may include:
o General obligation bonds -These must be authorized by a vote of the citizens
of Westlake.
o Revenue bonds-These bonds generate capital requirements necessary for
continuation or expansion of a service which produces revenue and for which
the asset may reasonable be expected to provide for a revenue stream to
fund the debt service requirement.
o Certificates of obligation -These can be authorized by Council approval with
debt service by either general revenues or backed by a specific revenue
stream or a combination of both.
o Lease/purchase agreements-These shall only be used to purchase capital
assets that cannot be financed from either current revenues or fund
balance/retained earnings and to fund infrastructure improvements and
additions.
2. Assumption of Additional Debt-The Town shall not assume more tax-supported general
purpose debt than it retires each year without first conducting an objective analysis as to
the community's ability to assume and support additional debt service payments.
3. Affordability Targets-The Town shall use an objective multi-year analytical approach to
determine whether it can afford to assume new general purpose debt beyond what
it retires each year.This process shall compare generally accepted standards of
affordability to the current values for the Town.The process shall also examine the
direct costs and benefits of the proposed expenditures. The decision on whether or
not to assume new debt shall be based on these costs and benefits and on the
Town's ability to "afford" new debt as determined by the aforementioned standards.
The Town shall strive to achieve and/or maintain these standards at a low to
moderate classification.
4. Debt Structure-The Town shall structure its debt payment schedules for general purpose
debt to ensure level principal repayment schedules.The Town shall not assume any debt
with"balloon'repayment schedules which consist of low annual payments and one large
payment of the balance due at the end of the term.While balloon payment structures
minimize the size of debt payments during the period,they force a large funding
requirement on the budget of the final year.Given the uncertainties of the future,level
payment schedules improve budget planning and financial management.
5. Sale Process-The Town shall use a competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless
the nature of the issue warrants a negotiated bid.The Town shall award bonds based on a
true interest cost (TIC) basis as long as the financial advisor agrees that the TIC basis can
satisfactorily determine the lowest and best bid.
6. Bond Rating Agencies Presentations-Full disclosure of operations and open lines of
communication shall be made to the bond rating agencies.Town staff,with assistance of
286

Section 7 Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds Overview
financial advisors,shall prepare the necessary materials and presentation to the bond
rating agencies.
7. Continuing Disclosure-The Town is committed to continuing disclosure of financial and
pertinent credit information relevant to the Town's outstanding securities.
8. Debt Refunding-Town staff and the financial advisor shall monitor the municipal bond
market for opportunities to obtain interest savings by refunding outstanding debt.As a
general rule,the present value savings of a particular refunding should exceed 3.5%of the
refunded maturities.
Debt per Capita
In order to make apples-to-apples comparisons of debt levels between different municipalities,
analysts often use measures like debt per capita, or the amount of bonded debt outstanding for
each resident. It does not include interest expense. Total debt outstanding at 9/30/17 is
$35,257,700.

sources are explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be used to acquire major
assets with expected lives which equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue. Transfers from
4B Economic Development Fund and the General Fund comprise the bulk of this debt service fund
revenues.

Section 7 Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Fund 301 Overview
Required by Texas law, the Debt Service Fund (Property Tax) is used to manage payments related
to the Interest and Sinking (I&S) component of the ad valorem (property) tax rate.
In most Texas municipalities, the Interest &Sinking levy funds the majority of annual debt service
payments. The Town has separated the Debt Service Fund into two separate funds to more
clearly denote the debt being paid with ad valorem tax which is a small portion of the Town's
total debt.
Currently this Debt Service Fund is used to manage debt service payments associated with the
various street projects. As of FYI 7/18 this fund will absorb the series 2013 refunding debt payments
(originally series 2008) of the Westlake Academy Arts and Sciences building. This debt payment
was originally in Debt Service Fund 300 and was paid via a transfer in from the Visitors Association
Fund. The decision was made to move this payment to Debt Service Fund 301 to be covered by
property tax revenues as these bonds are tax supported.
Revenues and Other Sources
• Ad valorem property tax revenues are budgeted to be $271,411
• This amount represents a 185%increase of$176,401 from the prior year estimated
revenues of$95,010
o This increase is due to the inclusion of the Series 2013 Arts and Science Center
refunding debt payment as noted above.
Expenditures and Other Uses
• Debt service expenditures are budgeted to be $277,700
• This amount represents a 134%increase of$159,089 from the prior year estimated
expenditures of$1 18,61 1.
o This increase is due to the inclusion of the Series 2013 Arts and Science Center
refunding debt payment as noted above.
Bond Issuances
• $ 2,095,000 Series 2011 Certificates of Obligation

revenues and expenditures are aligned with the school fiscal year, which begins on September 1
and ends on August 31. For detailed information concerning Academy revenues and
expenditures, see Westlake Academy's 2017/2018 operating budget, available online at

Honorable Board of Trustees,
As Superintendent of Westlake Academy, and in tandem with the administrative teams for both municipal
and academic services, I am pleased to submit for your consideration, the Academic Budget for FY 2017/18.
On behalf of our entire learning community, I would like to thank the Board for their leadership, dedication
to excellence, and support in making Westlake Academy and the Town of Westlake a truly shining example
of what can be accomplished when people come together with a common purpose: great educational
success can happen!
I . INTRODUCTION
Westlake Academy has faced several challenges and opportunities over the last several years, including
decreased state funding, increasing rigor in state assessments, recruitment and retention of legacy teacher
issues, space constrictions and subsequent facility expansion, and unprecedented growth within our student
population. The students, staff, and faculty have shown an enormous amount of resiliency and
determination to continually hold to our vision and rise to any challenge we have faced. Keeping this in
mind, we present this year's budget theme, "I=E3: Inquiry is the Solution ... Engage ... Explore ... Empower!"
A public school operating budget is legally required to include the Academy's General, Debt Service, and
Food Service Funds. Because the Academy does not maintain the latter two funds, the General Fund is the
only legally adopted fund. For informational purposes only, budgets for Special Revenue Funds are
included throughout the presentation.

II. THE CHALLENGES
The Town of Westlake, and therefore Westlake Academy,finds itself in one of DFW's most desirable
executive housing corridors- located along State Highway 114. Growth associated with the area necessitates
that we not only understand and deal with the associated changes, but also understand the impact the
future growth presents. As our state charter is held by the municipality, any challenge or opportunity
experienced by the community as a whole also affects the Academy. The most pressing challenges are:
WESTLAKE'S PERMANENT POPULATION GROWTH:
This is the portion of our population considered to be our permanent residents. From the 1990 population of
185 to 2016's population of 1,264 represents an increase of 583%equal to 1,079 additional residents. We
will continue to monitor and plan for increases in these numbers considering our Comprehensive Plan's
(Forging Westlake)forecast of approximately 7.21%annual population growth between now and 2040. This
would bring us to around 7,000 residents.
The number of Westlake residents who are selecting Westlake Academy as the educational choice for their
students has doubled in the past five years. Resident surveys continually indicate that the Academy is a
strong motivator for our residents to locate in Westlake, and one of the top three (3) reasons why they plan
to remain in our community. For example, the 2017 municipal services survey results indicate 75%of the
new residents say enrollment at Westlake Academy was extremely important/important to their decision to
live in the community. With the majority of those residents then listing this as the number one (1) reason
they will remain in Westlake over the next five (5)years.
Planning for Academy growth in the face of residential development continues to be a challenge. Wherever
possible,the Town has entered economic development agreements with residential developers to provide
funding for Westlake Academy facilities to lessen the impact of their residential development on the
Academy's enrollment.
Westlake Academy has experienced steady enrollment growth from 491 students in SY 2009-10 to a
projected 856 in SY 2017-18.The current increase of student population is a result of the Phase I expansion
efforts on the Academy campus and our development. Our growth requires that we carefully manage our
student enrollment processes to provide adequate space for children of Westlake residents.
Approximately 39,000 sq.ft. of new facilities space was opened on campus in SY 14/15. It was comprised of
a secondary classroom building,field house, and a primary years' multi-use hall. These buildings increased
our capacity and allowed for decompression of our current school facilities.The lottery waiting list for
student admissions from our secondary boundaries continues to grow from 705 in 2011 to over
approximately 2,250 students for this coming school year.
PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING SHORTFALL:
State funding of public education was decreased by the State Legislature in 2011. While it has increased
somewhat since then,the allocation has not kept pace with basic cost increases. And, in the Legislature's
most recent 2017 session,the per student funding for public education was not increased for the next
biennium. This negatively impacts Westlake since, as a charter school, we receive approximately 80%of our
operational funding from the State. The municipal government continues to allocate significant resources to
the school to deal with State funding limitations, maintain high quality educational services, provide for the
Academy's facilities and support services, as well as preserve space for the children of Westlake residents.
306
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Additionally,the Westlake Academy Foundation (WAF) raises significant operating funds for the Academy,
without which the school could not operate.
STAFFING LEVELS, INSURANCE COSTS,AND RETENTION:
Our investment in the school must be facilitated in tandem with staffing considerations to maintain our
dynamic teaching teams, and be competitive with our surrounding school districts.This includes keeping our
compensation/benefit package competitive to attract and retain excellent employees. For the 2017/2018
budget year, in accordance with the Boards financial policies regarding Academy employee compensation,
Staff recommends an average 2%salary increase for the Academy faculty and staff. This is in addition to
maximizing efficiencies and processes that will control large expenditure drivers such as employee health
insurance.
CONTINUED EMPHASIS ON LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING:
This budget contains an updated Long-Range Financial Forecast which identifies key revenue and
expenditure drivers while assessing historical financial trends and their potential impact upon the town's
financial stability.The forecast must be monitored and updated during the budget formulation process, as
well as reviewed with the Board of Trustees as the budget is prepared. Staff will also continue to produce
quarterly financial reports for the Board that monitors and analyzes trends.The report serves as a valuable
tool to assist in developing a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to our changing financial trends.
DFW METRO AREA EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH:
Since 1970, the DFW Metro area has grown by more than 150%-a faster pace than the state and nation. At
9,500 square miles, it is larger in total area than 5 of our states. With a population of nearly 6.8 million, it is
the fourth largest metropolitan area in the country. Forecasts from the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) predict employment to grow, in this 12-county standard metropolitan statistical
(SMSA) area, by almost 70%over the next 30 years. Population growth over this same 30-year period is also
forecasted to be 69%. This regional growth will impact Westlake and the demand for enrollment
opportunities at the school.
III . SHARED SERVICE MODEL
The Academy operates under a shared services model whereby the municipal operations team provides
support services to the school. General maintenance and replacement of infrastructure and equipment for
the school is also expensed to the municipal budget.
The support services for the Academy that generate indirect costs paid by the Town of Westlake are:
• Human Resources
• Information Technology
• Facility Maintenance Services
• Finance and Accounting Services
• General Managerial Oversight (Superintendent)
• Town Secretary records maintenance and election administration
• Board Support Services including policy advisement and strategic planning
307
RETURN TO T.O.C.
The shared services model was an integral part of the state charter application process that helped bolster
the Town's case for having a community school. This model conserves resources and avoids the duplication
of efforts across the municipal and academic functions.
DEBT SERVICE
As part of the Academy's unique financial structure the Town of Westlake is responsible for debt service
payments associated with the Academy's capital infrastructure. The Municipal Debt Service Fund is used to
manage debt service payments, and Academy debt is accounted for in the annual municipal budget.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
Note that there are no major capital projects budgeted or planned through FY 18/19, and there are no future
Academy capital projects discussed in the Town of Westlake's Capital Improvement Plan. However, retaining
professional expertise to update the Academy's master facility plan will be discussed with the Council in the
near future.

Total Municipal Costs $ 3,143,080 $ 3,112,529 $ (30,551) -0.97%
IV. FYI 7/18 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
This budget encompasses all teaching and extra-/co-curricular operating expenditures as well as State public
school funding and private donations used to support the daily operations of Westlake Academy. The FY
17/18 General Fund budget totals$8,322,199,which represents a 0.46% decrease from the prior year.
It is important to note that$39,090 was earmarked in the Academy's fund balance for Athletic uniform and
equipment replacement and bus maintenance, as well as additional days for the staff during August. As such,
the 2017/2018 projections increased fund balance by$270,901 for an ending total of$1,219,857 (54
operating days).
As mentioned previously, Westlake Academy's enrollment increase has been driven by the growth of
residential developments and housing opportunities within the Town of Westlake. This trend will continue
with the addition of another housing development and new homes that are currently under construction.
With the estimated increase of 26 students, total enrollment will rise to a projected 856 this school
year. This will be the Academy's largest student enrollment census to date, exceeding the projections in the
school's Facility Master Plan adopted in November of 2012.
308
RETURN TO T.O.C.
With this trend of growth in the Academy's resident (primary boundary)student population, a corresponding
trend will likely be that overall lottery enrollment opportunities for secondary boundary students will
decline. Growth will be monitored and managed until financial resources become available and the Board of
Trustees reviews and approves any update to the Facility Master Plan.

Over the last year, many hours have been spent to further develop our vision of the future, determining the
best opportunities that lay before us to help accomplish our mission and truly become the "shining school on
the hill." While we have many successes to celebrate,we are constantly striving to improve the Academy
through multiple avenues, including "getting the right people on the bus", ensuring that we are consistently
taking measure of our course, and adjusting as we move towards our goal.
It is through our talented faculty, staff, students, and their supportive families,that we can unfailingly rise to
challenges and hold to our vision. The daily operation of the Academy is made possible through our
partnerships with the Town of Westlake,the Westlake Academy Foundation, and our affiliate groups.
As with all good teams, it becomes necessary to draw attention to individual performers and teams who go
above and beyond to help us accomplish our goals. I would like to recognize the hard work of the
Academic and Municipal Leadership Teams, and specifically the Finance Department and Dr. Mechelle
Bryson for their efforts in completing this award-winning document. I know with the teams we have in
place, we will continue to "build a collective legacy of excellence."

Section 9 Capital Project Funds
Capital Project Fund Overview
The Capital Project Fund tracks major equipment, land, and infrastructure projects of$25,000 or
more financed with General Fund operating transfers, intergovernmental revenue, bond
proceeds and Special Revenue Fund transfers. Project completion or procurement may extend
across two or more fiscal years and reflect multiple expenditure categories such as engineering,
design and construction.
Completed capital projects often have a continuing fiscal impact on the Town's operating
funds due to routine maintenance, repair, and daily operating costs. When an ongoing
operating impact has been identified, it is included on the project description sheet, and costs
are projected for the next three years. Upon approval of the project, the ongoing fiscal impact
is integrated into the operating budget.
Revenues and Other Sources
• Revenues and other sources are budgeted to be $1,228,324.
• This represents a 92% decrease of $13,234,391 from prior year estimated revenues and
transfers in of$14,462,715
o Investment earnings decreased $19,100
o Contributions decreased $3,496,315 due primarily to one-time contributions (land
$1.750M; private contribution $1.2M) received for the Fire Station/EMS Complex.
o Transfers in from General Fund increased $1,015,324 for one-time planning and
development building permit fees and revenues.
o Other Sources decreased $10,734,300 due to one-time funds (bonds$9.2M,Tax note
$1.5M) received for the Fire Station/EMS Complex.

Section 9 Capital Project Funds
Capital Project Fund Overview
Impact of Capital on Operating Budget
The purpose of the chart below is to show the impact to the operating budget if the capital
expenditures were undertaken. Some major costs associated with capital improvement
projects always involve personnel, insurance and utilities.
Examples of specific information are as follows:
• If a workforce increase is needed - how much money would be added to the budget for
salaries and employee benefits. And what about a workforce decrease is needed once
the project is finished?
• How much will property and casualty insurance rise or fall because of this project?
What is the estimate of the impact in utility costs once the construction is completed?
Must a piece of equipment be purchased or needed once the construction is
completed?

Section 9 Capital Project Funds
Westlake Academy Expansion Overview
The Westlake Academy Expansion (WAE) Fund tracks and accumulates resources intended to
finance future Academy expansions.
In FY 2012/13, approximately 8.5 million dollars of bond proceeds were used to fund construction
of three new buildings at Westlake Academy with the final expenditures continuing into FY 13/14:
• Cafetorium-includes stage, dressing area, storage and catering kitchen for dining and
general purposes; approximately 9,600 sf.
• Three story Secondary School -includes 15 classrooms, flex and office space; designed to
allow for future addition if needed; approximatelyl8,900 sf.
• Field-house- houses locker rooms used for both athletics and PE, including a visiting team
locker room; storage for equipment; offices and space to be used for the PE program;
approximately 9,600 sf.
In February of 2013, an Economic Development Agreement was executed that requires the
developer to pay$10,000 for each residential lot associated with the Granada subdivision. The
Quail Hollow subdivision will require the developer to pay$5,000 for each residential lot.
In FY 14/15 the Town received $410,000 associated with the completion and acceptance of
Granada Phase I infrastructure. The estimated budget for FY 16/17 is$1.010 million and the
projected budget for FY 17/18 is $750,000; these receipts are part of Granada Phase 11, Entrada
and Quail Hollow subdivisions. Note these payments are recorded in the Economic
Development Fund and transferred to the WAE Fund.

Section I I Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Overview
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) presents the Town's plan for infrastructure development and
improvements and is evaluated annually by the Town leadership to determine the financial
availability of resources for design, construction, operations, and maintenance. Balancing these
priorities, while at the same time being cognizant of the fiscal challenges of our Town, continues to
be a priority for our staff team and elected officials.
This document provides a comprehensive plan of capital improvements that are to be undertaken
by the Town over the next five (5) years. Cost estimates and financing methods for the
improvements are included and are referenced by individual project. The development of the
Capital Improvement Plan is one of the more complex and multi-faceted processes of the Town.
Striking a balance between the needs and interests of the residents and our financial capacity is a
challenging proposition.
For this community vision to have meaning, it must be accompanied by deliberate planning that
leads the organization and community to its desired future. This requires clearly defined goals,
proactive strategies, committed leadership, effective management and above all, the resources to
carry out these plans and objectives.
WHAT IS A CIP?
CIP is a realistic plan designed to fulfill the strategic goals and objectives necessary to achieve the
mission and vision of the community. The CIP is a multi-year document that summarizes the capital
needs of a community over a specific time period. It outlines the individual capital projects, their
strategic value and relationship to the community's long-term goals and objectives as well as the
fiscal impact that they pose to the community.
WHY HAVE A CIP?
• Informs the employees, departments, elected officials and the public of an entity's intent to
invest in its infrastructure and community
• Represents a long-term financial plan and identifies resources or financing strategies that an
entity plans to use to fund the plan
• Identifies projects by functionality to ensure a balanced approach to our reinvestment in the
community
• Establishes priorities and serves as a planning document or blueprint for an organization's
investment in capital infrastructure both short-term and long-term
• Provides a breakdown of major project costs and phasing as necessary
• DOES NOT appropriate money
WHAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT?
Capital includes all long-lived infrastructures such as water facilities, sewers, streets, parks and
buildings along with major equipment like fire trucks, radio systems, vehicles, computers and fixtures.
Capital projects are the individual action plans that make up a Capital Improvement Plan. The
capital projects in this CIP have been categorized into the following groups: Parks & Recreation,
Facilities,Transportation, Vehicles and Utilities.
CIP PRIORITIZATION STRATEGY-PRESERVE*PROTECT*PLAN
• Preserve the past by investing in the continued upgrade of town assets and infrastructure
• Protect the present with improvements and/or additions to facilities, roads, and capital
investments
• Plan for the future of the organization

Section I I Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Overview
CAPITAL ASSETS BY CATEGORY AND TYPE
When most people think of the Town's capital assets, they naturally think of the Westlake Academy
campus. While the campus is certainly a very important and visible asset owned by the Town, it is
but one of many. Included in the assets of the Town are all the Town's infrastructure such as its
streets, water, water towers, and sewer mains, vehicles and other equipment. In preparing this year's
CIP, the staff utilized our annual audit to determine the value of the Town's assets.
FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
In all communities, the cost associated with capital projects far outweighs the available resources
necessary to pay for them; in short there is not enough money.This requires prioritization of the
projects based upon their perceived impact on the community.
Due to the vast number of individual desires it is near impossible to satisfy everyone and requires a
collaborative effort to create situations where the benefits are shared equitably with community
stakeholders. In addition, dedicated revenues will, in most cases, determine which projects get
funded. For example, the Utility Fund may only contribute towards capital projects that improve
water and wastewater projects.
SOURCES OF FUNDING
There are four primary funding sources for capital improvements:
1. Cash Funding (revenue sources such as sales, hotel/motel and property taxes)
2. State/Federal funding (public grants)
3. Private Funding (developmental impact fees or charitable donations)
4. Bond Issuance
The projects in this CIP rely on bond proceeds and other revenues in the Governmental and
Enterprise Funds as well as contributions from corporate partners for funding.
There are two types of bonds:
1. General Obligation (GO) bonds which require voter approval
2. Certificates of Obligation (CO) bonds which do not require voter approval.
HOW INFLATION IMPACTS THE CIP
Inflation is defined as a rise in the price of all goods and services over time. This implies that the
purchasing power, or value, of currency will decline in the future relative to costs. Therefore, more
money will be required to fund CIP related expenditures and must be accounted for.
This data is important in calculating the Town's future liability; by utilizing inflation trends to calculate
future capital replacement costs, we can determine how `waiting' a year or more impacts the total
project cost. Most are aware of the benefits of compounding when it comes to investing.
Unfortunately, this same principle works in reverse as inflation causes costs to compound higher over
time.
FUNDED VS UNFUNDED UNDER DISCUSSION)CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
In prior years, the majority of capital improvements in Westlake have been unfunded. These projects
represent capital needs that are subject to more discussion and are included to convey to the Town
leaders and other interested parties the general parameters and breadth of those capital needs.
These projects may be moved to the "Funded" section of this CIP or moved out into future years
depending on priorities, funding availability, and other considerations. This multi-year capital plan will
provide Council with a guide that communicates the program need or deficiency, as well as the
funding requirements. It is important to note that projects which do not receive funding in a given
year are moved out to the future years in order to communicate to those with decision making
responsibility the need to provide necessary funding, or through evaluation, eliminate the project
entirely.

Section 11 Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Impact to Operating Budget
CIP IMPACT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET
The Town of Westlake's operating budget is directly affected by the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) budget. CIP projects can often increase or decrease costs. CIP investments in
technology or significant improvements to existing maintenance intensive assets can reduce
operating budget costs. However, new facilities and land acquisitions typically increase
operating expenditures.
Operating costs are carefully considered in deciding which projects move forward in the CIP
budget. It is typically impossible to absorb many large increases in operating costs at once;
therefore, projects are programmed to prevent shocks to operating budgets. Several projects are
currently included in the Adopted CIP, and could have future impacts on the operating budget.
OVERVIEW
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) guides new construction and improvements to the
Town's infrastructure and facilities, ranging from road expansion to repairs on publicly owned
buildings, to acquisition of new water sources.
The CIP requires a sound operating budget and a solid financial base to allow for debt or cash
financing of capital projects. A well prepared operating budget assists in raising or maintaining
the bond rating of the Town. A higher bond rating means that the Town pays a lower interest rate
for the bonds sold to finance capital projects. The annual budget process takes into account
requirements of funding infrastructure, maintenance, and related operational costs.
REVENUE SOURCES AND PROJECTIONS
Development of the CIP has two phases.
1. The first phase is revenue projections. Like revenue projections for the operating budget,
trends are studied, and performance assumptions are generated. From these
assumptions, expenditure estimates are developed. Since the CIP involves long term
planning, revenue projections must be made further into the future than those required for
the operating budget. Components of revenue funding for the CIP are:
o Sales tax revenue
o Interest earnings on the fund balance and current revenues contribute to CIP
o Transfers from other funds, such as the General Fund are considered in revenue
estimating.
o Other parts of CIP financing are budgeted as debt service in proprietary funds.
2. The second phase is existing debt service obligations. Existing debt is considered when
estimating the additional amount of debt that can be assumed under the Town's policy.
After the new debt for proposed projects is calculated and all revenue sources are identified,
projects are prioritized and funds are allocated for long range planning.The revenues and debt
service expenditures are managed through the two Debt Service Funds of the Town.
PROJECT REVIEW
The second phase of developing the CIP involves the project requests. Through a series of
meetings, project plans are developed, studied and ranked according to criteria set forth by the
Town Council. Projects proposed for the CIP are reviewed, evaluated, and recommended under
the following guidelines:
331
RETURN TO T.O.C. _
Section I I Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Impact to Operating Budget
1. General revenue-supported debt: Maintain a Capital Improvement Program within the
debt limitations established by state law, and within a maximum local mill levy debt service
established by the Town Council.
2. Capital improvement projects must meet the established useful life criteria to be financed:
ife �ingl
Public buildings 40 years 10 year
New road construction 40 years 10 year
Major road rehabilitation 15 years 10 year
Water,sewer&drainage 40 years 20 year
j Miscellaneous items Based on asset 10 year
Local sales tax projects 10 year 15 year
3. Maintenance of the highway and street system to provide safe and effective vehicular
access and efficient urban traffic flow emphasizing the following:
• Include features in new projects which will reduce future maintenance requirements
• Provide good streets and roadways to serve Town facilities
4. Emphasize projects without regard to the percentage of the total CIP funds available.
5. Develop a balanced capital maintenance program for all types of Town assets.
6. Include beautification and landscape improvements in projects, especially on arterials
and highways, facilities, etc.
7. Insure an adequate water supply for existing neighborhoods and for the planned growth
and development of the Town.
ADOPTION OF THE CIP
CIP recommendations are forwarded to the Town Manager and then to the Town Council. The
Town Council may shift, add, or delete projects in the proposed CIP. Like the operating budget,
the Town Council will adopt the CIP.
IMPLEMENTATION
After the CIP is adopted by the Town Council, departments use the CIP as a guide for
implementing capital improvements.
BUDGETING FOR ONGOING OPERATING COSTS OF CIP PROJECTS
As a general practice, the CIP is developed and revised in a process that parallels development
of the Town's operating budget. Departments provide estimated ongoing costs associated with
CIP projects so all costs can be considered in the evaluation process. When a project is
completed, the operating costs are included in the department's operating budget.

Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
III. OPERATING BUDGET
A. Preparation: Budgeting is an essential element of the financial planning,control and
evaluation process of municipal government. The "operating budget" is the Town's
annual financial operating plan. The budget includes all of the operating departments
of the Town,the debt service fund, all capital projects funds, and the internal service
funds of the Town. The proposed budget will be prepared with the cooperation of all
Town departments,and is submitted to the Town Manager who makes any necessary
changes and transmits the document to the Town Council. A budget preparation
calendar and timetable will be established and followed in accordance with State law.
B. Revenue Estimates for Budgeting: In order to maintain a stable level of services,the Town
shall use a conservative, objective, and analytical approach when preparing revenue
estimates.The process shall include analysis of probable economic changes and their
impacts on revenues, historical collection rates, and trends in revenues.This approach
should reduce the likelihood of actual revenues falling short of budget estimates during
the year and should avoid mid-year service reductions.
C. Balanced Budget: As per State Law,current operating revenues,including Property Tax
Reduction Sales Tax transfers (which can be used for operations),will be sufficient to
support current operating expenditures. Annually recurring revenue will not be less than
annually recurring operating budget expenditures (operating budget minus capital
outlay). Debt or bond financing will not be used to finance current expenditures.
D. Proposed Budget Process:a proposed budget shall be prepared by the Town Manager
with the participation of all of the Town's department directors.
• The proposed budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation: (1)
personnel costs, (2) base budget for operations and maintenance costs, (3) service
level adjustments for increases of existing service levels or additional services,and (4)
revenues.
• The proposed budget review process shall include Council participation in the review
of each of the four segments of the proposed budget and a public hearing to allow
for citizen participation in the budget preparation.
• The proposed budget process shall allow sufficient time to provide review,as well as
address policy and fiscal issues,by the Town Council.
• A copy of the proposed budget shall be filed with the Town Secretary when it is
submitted to the Town Council as well as placed on the Town's website.
E. Budget Adoption: Upon the determination and presentation of the final iteration of the
proposed budget as established by the Council, a public hearing date and time will be
set and publicized. The Council will subsequently consider a resolution which,if adopted,
such budget becomes the Town's Approved Annual Budget. The adopted budget will
be effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1. The approved budget will be
placed on the Town's web site.
372
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
F. Budget Award: Each year the Council approved operating budget will be submitted
annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for evaluation and
consideration for the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation.
G. Budget Amendments: Department Directors are responsible for monitoring their
respective department budgets. The Finance Department will monitor all financial
operations. The budget team will decide whether to proceed with a budget
amendment and, if so,will then present the request to the Town Council. If the Council
decides a budget amendment is necessary,the amendment is adopted in resolution
format and the necessary budgetary changes are then made.
H. Central Control:Modifications within the operating categories (salaries,supplies,
maintenance,services, capital, etc.) can be made with the approval of the Town
Manager. Modifications to reserve categories and interdepartmental budget totals will
be made only by Town Council consent with formal briefing and Council action.
I. Planning:The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for
Town Council by integrating it into the Council's overall strategic planning process for the
Town. Each department shall have a multi-year business plan that integrates with the
Town's overall strategic plan.
J. Reporting: Monthly financial reports will be prepared by the Finance Department and
distributed to and reviewed by each Director. Information obtained from financial
reports and other operating reports is to be used by Directors to monitor and control
departmental budget. Summary financial reports will be presented to the Town Council
quarterly.
K. Performance Measures& Productivity Indicators:Where appropriate, performance
measures and productivity indicators will be used as guidelines to measure efficiency,
effectiveness, and outcomes of Town services. This information will be included in the
annual budget process as needed.
L. Contingent Appropriation: During the budget process,staff will attempt to establish an
adequate contingent appropriation in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for
this appropriation shall be made only in cases of emergency, and a detailed account
shall be recorded and reported. The proceeds shall be disbursed only by transfer to
departmental appropriation. All transfers from the contingent appropriation will be
evaluated using the following criteria:
• Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately?
• Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process?
• Why can't the transfer be made within the department?

Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
IV. REVENUES MANAGEMENT
A. Revenue Design Parameter: The Town will pursue the following optimum characteristics
in its revenue system:
• Simplicity-The Town,where possible and without sacrificing accuracy,will strive to
keep the revenue system simple in order to reduce costs,achieve transparency,and
increase citizen understanding of Town revenue sources.
• Certainty-A knowledge and understanding of revenue sources reliability increases the
viability of the revenue system. The Town will understand,to the best of its ability,all
aspects of its revenue sources and their performance,as well as enact consistent
collection policies to provide assurances that the revenue base will materialize
according to budgets,forecasts,and plans.
• Equity-The Town shall make every effort to maintain equity in its revenue system: i.e.
the Town shall seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities,
funds,services utilities,and customer classes within a utility.
• Administration-The benefits of a revenue source will not exceed the cost of collecting
that revenue. Every effort will be made for the cost of collection to be reviewed
annually for cost effectiveness as a part of the Town's indirect cost and cost of service
analysis.
• Adequacy,Diversification and Stability-The Town shall attempt,in as much as is
practical,to achieve a balance in its revenue system. The Town shall also strive to
maintain a balanced and diversified revenue system to protect the Town from
fluctuations in any one source due to changes in local economic conditions which
adversely impact that revenue source.
B. Other Considerations. The following considerations and issues will guide the Town in its
revenue policies concerning specific sources of funds:
• Cost/Benefit of Incentives for Economic Development-The Town will use due caution
in the analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are being considered to encourage
economic development. A cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as a
part of the evaluation for each proposed economic development project.
• Non-Recurring Revenues-One-time or non-recurring revenues will not be used to
finance on-going operational costs. Non-recurring revenues will be used only for one-
time expenditures such as long-lived capital needs or one-time major maintenance
projects that occur infrequently. Non-recurring revenues will not be used for budget
balancing purposes except to cover the one-time expenditures described above.
374
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
• Investment Income-Earnings from investment of available monies,whether pooled or
not,will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the equity balance of the fund
from which monies were provided to be invested.
• Property Tax Revenues-The Town shall endeavor to avoid a property tax by revenue
diversification,implementation of user fees,and economic development.
C. User-Based(Demand Driven)Fees and Service Charges. For services that are demand
driven and can be associated with a user fee or charge,the direct and indirect costs of
that service will be offset by a fee where possible. The Town staff will endeavor to prepare
a review of all fees and charges annually, but not less than once every three years,in order
to ensure that these fees provide for,at minimum,full cost recovery of service.
D. Enterprise Fund Rates. Utility rates and rate structures for water and sewer services will be
constructed to target full cost of service recovery. Annually the Town will review and
adopt water and sewer utility rates and a rate structure that generates revenue sufficient
to fully cover operating expenses, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond
covenants, provide for an adequate level of working capital,and recover applicable
general/administrative costs. The Solid Waste function will have rates that fully recover all
costs and maintain an adequate balance. The Cemetery Fund will be structured to
operate on lot sales and endowments.
• General and Administrative(G&A)Charges-Where feasible,G&A costs will be
charged to all funds for services of indirect general overhead costs,which may include
general administration,finance,customer billing,facility use,personnel,technology,
engineering,legal counsel,and other costs as deemed appropriate. These charges
will be determined through an indirect cost allocation study following accepted
practices and procedures.
E. Intergovernmental Revenues. As a general rule,intergovernmental revenues (grants) will
not be utilized for on-going operating costs. Any potential grant opportunity will be
examined to identify all costs related to matching and continuation of program
requirements. Staff will focus on one-time grants to avoid long-term implications. If it is
determined that accepting a grant with on-going cost conditions is in the interests of the
Town,all the operating and maintenance costs must be included in the financial forecast
and their ultimate effect on operations and revenue requirements be known.
F. Revenue Monitoring. Revenues as they are received will be regularly compared to
budgeted revenues and variances will be investigated. This process will be summarized in
the appropriate budget report.
375
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
G. Special Revenue/Educational Funds. Where feasible and practical,General and
Administrative Charges (G&A) for special revenue and educational funds of the Town of
Westlake will be determined on an annual basis and transfers will be made where sufficient
revenue exists to cover the associated expenditures.
V. EXPENDITURE CONTROL
A. Appropriations-The point of budgetary control is at the department level in the General
Fund and at the fund level in all other funds. When budget adjustments among
Departments and/or funds are necessary,they must be approved by the Town Council.
B. Current Funding Basis-The Town shall operate on a current funding basis.Expenditures shall
be budgeted and controlled so as not to exceed current revenues plus the planned use of
fund balance accumulated through prior year savings. (The use of fund balance shall be
guided by the Fund Balance/Retained Earnings Policy Statements.)
C. Avoidance of Operating Deficits-The Town shall take immediate corrective actions if at
any time during the fiscal year expenditure and revenue re-estimates are such that an
operating deficit (i.e., projected expenditures in excess of projected revenues) is projected
at year-end.Corrective actions can include a hiring freeze,expenditure reductions,fee
increases,or use of fund balance within the Fund.
D. Balance/Retained Earnings Policy-Expenditure deferrals into the following fiscal year,
short-term loans,or use of one-time revenue sources shall be avoided to balance the
budget.
E. Maintenance of Capital Assets-Within the resources available each fiscal year,the Town
shall maintain capital assets and infrastructure at a sufficient level to protect the Town's
investment,to minimize future replacement and maintenance costs,and to continue
service levels.
F. Periodic Program Reviews-The Town Manager shall undertake periodic staff and third-
party reviews of Town programs for both efficiency and effectiveness. Privatization and
contracting with other governmental agencies will be evaluated as alternative
approaches to service delivery. Programs which are determined to be inefficient and/or
ineffective shall be reduced in scope or eliminated.
G. Salary-The Town shall strive to maintain competitive salary levels for municipal
employees. A salary survey will be conducted through a sampling of surrounding
and comparable municipal organizations to create a comparison. The Town will
strive to maintain salary levels within three percent (3%) of the median of surveyed
benchmark municipalities.

376
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
H. Purchasing-The Town shall make every effort to maximize any discounts offered by
creditors/vendors.Staff shall also use competitive bidding in accordance to State law,as
well as intergovernmental partnerships and purchasing cooperatives to attain the best
possible price on goods and services.
I. Prompt Payment-All invoices will be paid within 30 days of receipt in accordance with the
prompt payment requirements of State law.
VI. FUND BALANCE/RETAINED EARNINGS
A. General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance-The Town shall strive to maintain the General
Fund undesignated fund balance at,or in excess of,90 days of operation.
B. Retained Earnings of Other Operating Funds-In the Utility Fund,the Town shall strive to
maintain positive retained earnings positions to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies
and revenue shortfalls.
C. Use of Fund Balance-The Council delegates the responsibility to assign funds to the Town
Manager or his/her designee. The Council shall have the authority to assign any amount of
funds. Assignments may occur subsequent to fiscal year-end. The Council will utilize funds
in the following spending order: Restricted,Committed,Assigned, Unassigned
Fund Balance will be targeted to only be used with Council approval and can be only be
used for the following:
• Emergencies,
• non-recurring expenditures such as technology/FF&E (furniture,fixtures and
equipment),or major capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through
current year savings.
• Should such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective
for that fund,recommendations will be made on how to restore it.
• The Council shall approve all commitments by formal action. The action to commit
funds must occur prior to fiscal year-end,to report such commitments in the balance
sheet of the respective period,even though the amount may be determined
subsequent to fiscal year-end.
• A commitment can only be modified or removed by the same formal action.
VII. DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. Debt Issuance Analysis- All consideration of debt issuance for major capital assets will be
prepared within the framework of a Council approved multi-year capital improvement
plan and forecast for all Town facilities and infrastructure.
377
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
B. Analysis of Debt Issuance and Debt Issuance Alternatives-Staff will explore alternatives to
the issuance of debt for capital acquisitions and construction projects.
These alternatives will include, but not be limited to,
• grants-in-aid
• use of reserves
• use of either current on-going general revenues or one-time revenues
• contributions from developers and others
• leases
• user fees
• impact fees
C. Use of Debt Financing-The useful life of the asset or project shall,at a minimum,exceed
the payout schedule of any debt the Town assumes. Debt financing instruments to be
considered by the Town may include:
• General obligation bonds-These must be authorized by a vote of the citizens of
Westlake.
• Revenue bonds-These bonds generate capital requirements necessary for
continuation or expansion of a service which produces revenue and for which the
asset may reasonable be expected to provide for a revenue stream to fund the debt
service requirement.
• Certificates of obligation-These can be authorized by Council approval with debt
service by either general revenues or backed by a specific revenue stream or a
combination of both.
• Lease/purchase agreements-These shall only be used to purchase capital assets that
cannot be financed from either current revenues or fund balance/retained earnings
and to fund infrastructure improvements and additions.
D. Assumption of Additional Debt-The Town shall not assume more tax-supported general
purpose debt than it retires each year without first conducting an objective analysis as to
the community's ability to assume and support additional debt service payments.
E. Affordability Targets-The Town shall use an objective multi-year analytical approach to
determine whether it can afford to assume new general purpose debt beyond what it
retires each year.This process shall compare generally accepted standards of
affordability to the current values for the Town.The process shall also examine the direct
costs and benefits of the proposed expenditures.The decision on whether or not to
assume new debt shall be based on these costs and benefits and on the Town's ability to
"afford" new debt as determined by the aforementioned standards.The Town shall strive
to achieve and/or maintain these standards at a low to moderate classification.
378
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
F. Debt Structure-The Town shall structure its debt payment schedules for general purpose
debt to ensure level principal repayment schedules.The Town shall not assume any debt
with"balloon'repayment schedules which consist of low annual payments and one large
payment of the balance due at the end of the term.While balloon payment structures
minimize the size of debt payments during the period,they force a large funding
requirement on the budget of the final year.Given the uncertainties of the future,level
payment schedules improve budget planning and financial management.
G. Sale Process-The Town shall use a competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless
the nature of the issue warrants a negotiated bid.The Town shall award bonds based on a
true interest cost (TIC) basis as long as the financial advisor agrees that the TIC basis can
satisfactorily determine the lowest and best bid.
H. Bond Rating Agencies Presentations-Full disclosure of operations and open lines of
communication shall be made to the bond rating agencies.Town staff,with assistance of
financial advisors,shall prepare the necessary materials and presentation to the bond
rating agencies.
I. Continuing Disclosure-The Town is committed to continuing disclosure of financial and
pertinent credit information relevant to the Town's outstanding securities.
J. Debt Refunding-Town staff and the financial advisor shall monitor the municipal bond
market for opportunities to obtain interest savings by refunding outstanding debt.As a
general rule,the present value savings of a particular refunding should exceed 3.5%of the
refunded maturities.
VIII. INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS
The Town will pursue coordinated efforts with other governmental agencies to achieve
common policy objectives,share the cost of providing government services on an equitable
basis,and support favorable legislation at the State and Federal levels.
A. Inter-local Cooperation in Delivering Services-In order to promote the effective and
efficient delivery of services,the Town shall actively seek to work with other local
jurisdictions in joint purchasing consortia,sharing facilities,sharing equitably the costs of
service delivery,and developing joint programs to improve service to its citizens.
B. Legislative Program-The Town shall cooperate with other jurisdictions to actively oppose
any State or Federal regulation or proposal that mandates additional Town programs or
services and does not provide the funding to implement them.Conversely,as appropriate,
the Town shall support legislative initiatives that provide more funds for priority local
programs.

Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
IX. GRANTS
A. Grant Guidelines-The Town shall apply,and facilitate the application by others,for only
those grants that are consistent with the objectives and high priority needs previously
identified above in these policies. The potential for incurring on-going costs,to include the
assumption of support for grant funded positions from local revenues,will be considered
prior to applying for a grant.
B. Grant Review-All grant submittals shall be reviewed for their cash match requirements,
their potential impact on the operating budget,and the extent to which they meet the
Town's policy objectives.If there are cash match requirements,the source of funding shall
be identified prior to application. Staff will focus on one-time grants to avoid long-term
implications related to additional expenditures in future years.
C. Grant Program Termination-The Town shall terminate grant funded programs and
associated positions when grant funds are no longer available unless alternate funding is
identified.
X. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
A. Positive Business Environment-The Town shall endeavor,through its regulatory and
administrative functions,to provide a positive business environment in which local
businesses can grow,flourish and create jobs.The Town Council and Town staff will be
sensitive to the needs,concerns and issues facing local businesses.

encourage and participate in economic development efforts to expand Westlake's
economy to increase local employment.These efforts shall not only focus on newly

shall encourage close cooperation with other local jurisdictions,chambers of commerce,
and groups Interested in promoting the economic well-being of this area.
D. Cost/Benefit of Incentives for Economic Development-The Town will use due caution in the
analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are used to encourage economic development.
A cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as part of such evaluation for each
prospect. Economic development agreements will contain performance language as to
the business's proposed economic impact to Westlake in exchange for Town incentives
with adequate "claw-back" provisions for the Town.

associated with its purchase
• Improvements and Replacement-Improvement will be capitalized when they extend
the original life of an asset or when they make the asset more valuable than it was
originally. The replacement of assets components will normally be expenses unless
they are a significant nature and meet all the capitalization criteria.

market sector and will include the use of a number of broker/dealers or banks
for diversification and market coverage. Competitive bidding will be used on

attaining a reasonable market yield, considering the Town's risk constraints and
cash flow needs. A reasonable market yield for the portfolio will be defined

for municipal employees.
391
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Employee Pay Plan Policy
I. SCOPE OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set out the philosophy, purpose, and intent of the Town of
Westlake's pay system for municipal employees.
The Town of Westlake's mission is "to be a unique community, blending preservation of our
natural environment and viewscapes, while serving our residents and businesses with
superior municipal and academic services that are accessible, efficient, cost-effective,
and transparent."
The Town of Westlake believes that market-based salary, in combination with employee
competence and their overall contribution to the Town's success, should largely determine
their compensation and career advancement opportunities. The philosophy and
objectives of this pay policy are as follows:
• First, the Town's pay system should be internally equitable. It must ensure that
pay ranges of each position within our organization reflects the value of
comparable positions within our organization. To achieve this,we must pay
employees fairly compared to their coworkers, and employees must also
perceive that they are paid fairly compared to their coworkers.
• Second, The Town's pay system must be externally competitive in the market
place, so that the Town of Westlake support or strategic outcome objective to
attract, recruit, and retain highly qualified employees who are vital to
accomplishing the organization's vision and mission.
• Third, to be motivational to our employees, providing the opportunity for future
pay increases based upon individual work performance and development of
job-related skills and competencies.
II. DEFINITION
With these objectives in mind, the Town's municipal compensation plan is a broad band
pay system. A broad band pay system is markedly different than the traditional "step-in-
grade" pay system.
A broad band pay system is one that structures pay utilizing two primary steps.
• First, the responsibilities and qualifications required of each position are analyzed.
• Second, using this position analysis, pay for these positions are surveyed against
the market to create a broad set of occupation groups that become the pay
bands.
Each pay band has a minimum, mid-point, and a maximum rate of pay; however,within
each band there is flexibility for hiring and provision of performance pay.
Utilization of a broad band pay system by an organization is intended to:
• Reward employees for positive behaviors that contribute to the effectiveness of
the Town's service delivery to our stakeholders;
• Assist the Town in fulfilling its vision and mission by offering increased opportunities
392
_RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Employee Pay Plan Policy
for career advancement and recognition of the Town's municipal employees;
• Provide the organization's leadership greater flexibility with a pay system that can
be used to adjust to changes in market conditions, enhance hiring practices, and
reward outstanding performance;
• Adjust to changes in market conditions as it relates to increases in pay for groups
of employees within each band; ensuring the Town's pay system remains
competitive to the comparable market.
III. IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PAY PLAN
For its first year of implementation (FY 16-17), most employees were placed within the
established pay band for their position at their current rate of pay, with up to a three (3)
percent market adjustment of the employee's base pay rate. To promote internal equity,
positions that have surveyed further below market may receive a higher market
adjustment, at the discretion of their supervisor.
In subsequent years, depending on market survey results and availability of funding, the
municipal broad band pay system may have both a market adjustment and performance
pay component, as defined below.
IV. CLASSIFICATION AND PAY BAND PLACEMENT
The following criteria will be used when classifying positions to determine band placement:
• Nature or type of work performed
• Level of responsibility
• Impact of position on the organization
• Reporting relationships
• Scope of duties
• Complexity of work
• Supervision received and/or exercised
• Knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to perform required job duties.
Factors that will not be considered in classifying a position:
• Incumbent of the position
• Performance of the employee or incumbent
• Longevity of the employee or incumbent in position
• Qualifications of the employee or incumbent that are not required by the position
Employee pay progression within a band can occur if there is a market adjustment
approved for that band. Progression in a band can also occur if an employee's job
performance, as determined by review of job performance, results in a performance pay
increase. Pay progression is defined as movement within a band that increases the
employee's pay on an on-going basis.
Other instances that can create employee progression in a pay band include:
• Promotion
• Significant increase in job skills,job-related education or training or competencies
• Position reclassification: These instances can only occur after proper analysis and
with criteria established by the Human Resources Department and approved by
the Town Manager or their designate.
393
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Employee Pay Plan Policy
V. PAY PLAN PARAMETERS
To successfully practice this pay philosophy using this policy, as well as reach our
objectives, the Town will use the following parameters to utilize this pay system:
Internal Equity
a. To maintain accurate position classifications, the Town of Westlake will conduct a
position analysis of 1/3 (one-third) of the organization's positions each year. This
ensures that all positions are reviewed on a rolling three-year basis.
b. Upon review of the position analysis by the Director of Human Resources, and
with the approval of the Town Manager or their designee, position classifications
may be adjusted to a new band. This can occur if a new position classification is
created, or if the duties, roles, and responsibilities have substantially evolved,
resulting in a position that is greater similarity to another classification band.
Performance Pay
a. On-going performance pay may be awarded to individuals or teams who, as
determined in their performance evaluation, have clearly gone "above and
beyond" their traditional roles,job duties, and assignments over the evaluation
period.
b. Performance pay is awarded through the review process and the established
criteria outlined by the HR department
c. One-time performance pay may be offered to employees or teams who, based
on performance evaluation, have been determined to have gone above and
beyond expectations. One-time performance pay is a lump-sum, one-time
payment and will not impact the base pay of the employee and will not move
their pay within their position's assigned band.
d. All performance pay,whether on-going or one-time adjustments, is dependent
upon the availability of financial resources.
Market-Based Pay
a. The Town of Westlake will conduct an annual market salary study in the spring
prior to budget preparation for the upcoming fiscal year.
b. Depending on the results of the market study, and if funds are available, all or
some of the salary bands will be proposed to the Town Council for adjustment
based upon the results of the annual market salary study. Proposed adjustments
to any pay band will not be proposed unless the market study indicates bands
have increased by 2.5% or more.
c. Employee salaries may receive a market adjustment if their current salary has
shifted to become less than 97.5% of the market average.
d. All new hires will be placed at the minimum rate of their band, unless a hiring
manager recommends placement at a higher rate. This must be reviewed first by
the Human Resources Department and approved by the Town Manager or their
designee. Generally, new hires proposed to be paid higher than band minimum
may be brought into the pay system within 3%above or below a band's
midpoint; however, exceptional qualifications and experience of the new hire
must be demonstrated by the hiring department to the Human Resources
Department and the Town Manager for this to be approved.
e. All market adjustments are dependent upon available financial resources.
f. The market value for positions within the Town of Westlake will be determined
394
RETURN TO T.O.C.
Section 1 1 Municipal Policies
Employee Pay Plan Policy
annually through the completion of a survey of comparison communities
identified by staff and approved by the Town Council.
g. Employees with base compensation within 3%of the market average are
considered to be "at market."
h. Positions currently at or above the market will not qualify for any market-based
adjustment, and will remain at their current rate of pay.
i. If the market rate for a position declines, the salary of position holders will not be
negatively impacted, but they will not receive any market-based adjustments.
j. Market adjustments will impact the base pay of the employee and may only be
applied if the Town of Westlake has adequate financial resources available to
fund the adjustments.

VII. DEFINITIONS FOR THE BANDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
• "BAND E" POLICY DECISION - These decisions are associated with board level
management, and involve guiding the organization as a whole through policy
development, setting the overall direction, and tone of the organization. Restrictions
to these decisions are often only limited by the laws of the state (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND D" PROGRAMMING DECISION - These decisions are typically made by senior
management or department directors and are generally tasked with executing
the organization's policy through strategy development. Establishing guidelines by
which further decisions are made. A typical senior management decision is made
at the organizational or department level. For instance, the decision on how to
set up the organization's network infrastructure is usually determined by
management, while the decision to upgrade is based on policy (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND C" INTERPRETIVE DECISIONS - Middle management who have constraints
placed upon them by them by senior management.These are usually made by
business unit managers, such as a budget manager or project research analyst.
Once overall strategy is developed by the senior managers, the middle managers
decide how to utilize resources in order to meet deadlines. The unit manager should
always know why certain staff members have been assigned to a particular job and
may have to interpret situations not currently covered by rules or guidelines
(Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND B" ROUTINE DECISIONS - Skilled supervisors know the "how", the "where", and
the "when" to set up equipment, systems, and are aware of the rules that govern
these processes. They can decide which process is to be used in order to carry
out the interpretive decisions as they have a firm handle on operations. For
example, a billing clerk knows how to complete the utility billing process, including
the way in which entries have to be made, as they have the book of rules and
regulations to refer to as needed (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND A"AUTOMATIC DECISIONS - Each process is a cycle of operations.The process
is decided by the supervisor who then sets up the process or the"how"of the task at
hand. This is generally accomplished by a semi-skilled individual who completes the
task as outlined,within the constraints of the process.This individual can decide
where and when to carry out the operations needed for the task (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND O" DEFINED DECISIONS - "Band O" decisions are rarely seen in an organization.

district established the limitation described by Subsection(a), in which the individual qualified
that residence homestead for the exemption provided by Section 11.13(c) for a disabled
individual or an individual 65 years of age or older." This provision,commonly referred to as a

by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions
hereof and the Council hereby determines that it would have adopted this Ordinance without the
invalid provision.
SECTION 7: That this Ordinance shall become effective from and after its date of
passage.
