Forging Westlake: Comprehensive Plan
Adopted March 2, 2015
Summary of Goals and Objectives
Goal A: Future views from residential areas should present qualities of vista, natural-ness,
pastoral/ agricultural character, and sense of openness that exist today.
OBJECTIVES:
A1. Maintain views of a largely undeveloped foreground as Westlake grows.
A2. Maintain views of agricultural land and agricultural activities as Westlake grows.
A3. Maintain distant vistas from higher elevations.
A4. Maintain views of natural topography.
A5. Maintain view sheds that contain essential elements of Westlake’s pastoral character.
Goal B: Future development should perpetuate picturesque and pastoral qualities that promote a
visual identity associated with rural-ness.
OBJECTIVES:
B1. Create development standards defining features of development that promote and preserve
the picturesque and pastoral qualities of Westlake and reinforce the notion of a “pastoral
community”.
B2. Promote a rural character in present open spaces and future open space expansion.
B3. Promote aspects of rural heritage in future development.
Goal C: Future development should embody recognizable quality of building and site design as
well as maintain an overall balance and continuity between commercial and residential portions
of the Town.
OBJECTIVES:
C1. Promote a visual character that communicates a high quality of building and landscape
construction, both public and private.
C2. Encourage development patterns in the western portions of Westlake that preserve
landmark characteristics of this landscape and embody visual qualities that continue rural
characteristics.
C3. Promote design excellence in land and landscape development, both public and private.
C4. Preserve the sense of balance between residential and commercial development by
promoting continuity of development forms, pallet of landscaping, meaningful/ functional
buffers, built area to land area ratios, and character of the street experience.
C5. Maintain a continuity between the character of future smaller lot development and the
dominant larger lot developments of Westlake by a consistency in landscape, design quality,
and general visual character of development as seen from the street (internally and
externally).
C6. Promote non-residential/ office development that hosts a significant ground plane of
pedestrian features and visual amenities, instead of parking and service, and that ground
planes of neighboring projects flow together to create a more campus-like setting overall.
2
C7. Maintain trajectory of small residential population at build-out in order to promote a small
town sense of community.
C8. Establish development standards that discourage the direct visual connection or orthogonal
orientation between roadways and structure that is typical of most suburban development.
C9. Establish development guidelines that discourage typical strip-like, suburban commercial
development.
C10. Promote a continued use of natural forms in, and non-structured means of, storm water
management and detention facility design.
C11. Promote the continued creation of environmental, cultural, educational, and visual assets
for Westlake in all private and public development.
C12. Promote the aggregate and singular identity of multiple private projects, especially in the
commercial areas of Westlake, so that the Town attains a coherent overall identity rather
than multiple autonomous identities.
C13. Promote a special freeway scape identity for Westlake where it lies on both sides of SH 170
and SH 114.
Goal D: Future Westlake should continue to be a place where one can live a “slow paced” life
style in a quiet, rural like setting.
OBJECTIVES:
D1. Preserve the quiet rural character of Westlake in residential areas and in the public domain.
D2. Develop strategies that encourage and inspire commercial development to incorporate
visual qualities reflective of Westlake’s “rural-like setting”.
D3. Preserve Westlake’s sense of “slow paced” life as it develops by promoting experiential and
visual characteristics associated with the current non- encroachment condition.
Goal E: Future Westlake should contain essential scenic, cultural, and architectural features
which are a legacy of its rural heritage.
OBJECTIVES:
E1. Preserve the rural and agricultural features of cultural significance.
E2. Preserve natural corridors.
E3. Preserve sense of openness in the continuity of a ground plane that is not interrupted by
opaque fences or walls.
E4. Preserve the natural land profiles and landmark landforms as well as promote greater open
space as Westlake develops through regulation of building to land area relationships.
Goal F: Future Westlake should come together as an overall town form with an identifiable town
center, residential areas and employment areas, tied together by streets, trails, and transitional
buffers that maximize resident convenience and protect residential areas from commercial
encroachment.
OBJECTIVES:
F1. Create a town center/ hub that is uniquely Westlake; an organic center to the Town and
more than a retail development that looks like a town center.
F2. Create a future relationship between commercial and residential that is rooted in the
current pastoral identity of Westlake.
F3. Maintain Westlake’s sense of separation from surrounding typical commercial and
residential development.
3
F4. Focus the commercial components of Westlake to locations along the SH 114 and SH 170
portions of the community.
F5. Create meaningful and purposeful buffers between single-family, lower density, residential
uses and non- residential development that link activities while protecting the residential
areas from encroachment.
F6. Promote the aggregation of higher density in the SH 170/ SH 114 corridor instead of a
uniform density overall, thereby lessening total land coverage.
F7. Encourage aggregation of current entitlement rights where possible in ways that contribute
to a greater amount of undeveloped land.
Goal G: Future development should create a greater level of amenity and residential
compatibility for the Town.
OBJECTIVES:
G1. Encourage less development coverage of land and promote the use of land for enhanced
retention and other landscape amenities.
G2. Establish development standards for more creative regulation of density instead of simply
lot size.
G3. Encourage the predominantly non- residential growth of western portions of Westlake to
properly compliment the residential portions of Westlake and preserve/ enhance residential
values.
Goal H: Future Westlake should have a coherent trail system (pedestrian and bike trails) that
links residential areas to important destinations within the Town.
OBJECTIVES:
H1. Make pedestrian movement from neighborhoods to desired destinations within Westlake
more conveniently accessible, easily identifiable, and safer (i.e. eliminate pedestrian
conflicts with barbed wire).
H2. Encourage the use of city sidewalks and trails by children as a means of going to school by
enhancing safety, convenience, and educational potential.
H3. Implement grade separated street crossings for trails where feasible.
H4. Make the commercial areas of Westlake accessible to patrons without encroaching upon
residential neighborhoods or bisecting development properties.
Goal I: Future Westlake should have a functional roadway network that protects property values and rural
character by providing additional road capacity where needed to prevent the encroachment of
commercial traffic into residential areas and keeps commercial circulation north of residential areas.
OBJECTIVES:
I1. Discourage cut-through traffic on local and residential roadways, including the provision of a
roadway system that accesses residential and non-residential areas of Westlake from
perimeter roadways that prevent the need for cross town vehicular movement.
I2. Encourage traffic movement around Westlake more than through Westlake.
I3. Relieve the growing traffic pressure on Dove Road while preserving the rural image of Dove
Road.
I4. Mitigate the negative impact of high traffic volumes on residential property values.
I5. Mitigate the negative impact of high traffic volumes on the rural character of local
roadways.
4
I6. Provide additional circulation capacity that protects local residential roadways from traffic
inundation.
I7. Create a thoroughfare system built upon a road typology that recognizes the need for
different street classifications that include high and low traffic volume capacity as well as
roadways with a more rural character.
I8. Minimize the encroachment of commercial traffic onto residential roadways and/or through
residential areas by such measures as implementing traffic calming techniques (such as
roundabouts) to discourage traffic encroachment and enhance pedestrian safety.
I9. Manage traffic to prevent traffic congestion through the use of traffic calming measures,
where appropriate, and by intersection capacity improvements to enhance the level of
service at key intersection locations.
I10. Relieve potential traffic congestion zones through the provision of user funded lane capacity
where feasible.
I11. Anticipate future vehicular circulation needs and take measures to secure right-of-way
availability.
I12. Separate vehicular and bike/ pedestrian movement spatially and/ or functionally in order to
facilitate efficient vehicular traffic flow and enhance bike/ pedestrian safety and user
experience.
I13. Preserve and promote the convenient access to major roadways and destinations for the
residents of Westlake, including SH 170 and SH 114.
Goal J: Future Westlake should reduce vehicular trips and promote pedestrian safety/
convenience through the provision of trails, sidewalks, and public transit.
OBJECTIVES:
J1. Promote sidewalks along the perimeter of all residential development and assure
connections to non-residential development without bisecting development parcels.
J2. Promote a complete system of bike and pedestrian trails that connects places where people
live to places people want to go within Westlake.
J3. Provide public transportation for residents and local patrons/ employees that work and
or/shop in Westlake (when feasible based on build-out demand) that moves people within
commercial areas, reduces trip generation of commercial areas, and provides better
connection between residential areas and Westlake’s commercial center.
J4. Create a workable system of walking and biking trails that links points of trip origin with
desired destinations and integrates with regional trail systems.
J5. Employ existing and future lakes/ water bodies and other natural systems in the overall
Westlake trail system.
J6. Encourage the connection of individually constructed trail facilities as they are built and
assure connection to desired destinations within Westlake and tie into regional trails that
interface with Westlake’s borders.
J7. Designate truck routes that preserve maximum roadway capacity and protect residential
areas from truck encroachment.
Goal K: Future Westlake should have clearly defined residential and commercial areas that
reinforce single- family values and neighborhoods as well as distinguished Westlake from other
cities and townships in the general region.
OBJECTIVES:
K1. Promote for-sale housing options over rental housing options where ever possible.
5
K2. Discourage the development of distribution facilities in Westlake and maintain a land use
differentiation from land development to the west.
K3. Promote and encourage compatibility between commercial development in Westlake and
other commercial centers that contributes to greater economic vigor overall and prevents
competition between commercial centers in the region.
K4. Preserve and promote the single- family character of the Solana area as commercial PD’s
develop.
K5. Maximize the opportunity of the strategic importance of the SH 170/ SH 114 intersection to
create a center and identity that is uniquely Westlake and enhance the value of Westlake
overall.
K6. Encourage larger lot development contiguous to existing residential areas.
K7. Promote the creation of natural buffers (landscaped open space) between conflicting land
uses.
Goal L: Future Westlake should continue to have an Ad Valorem tax base sufficient to serve
future financial needs.
OBJECTIVES:
L1. Preserve Westlake’s distinctively low Ad Valorem tax rate on residential properties.
L2. Maintain a balance between the Ad Valorem revenues of non-residential and residential
development so that property taxes on residential property do not have to be
disproportionately raised to accommodate the impacts of future development in and
around Westlake.
Goal M: Future Westlake Academy should meet the educational needs of Westlake’s future
population with continued high quality educational services and facilities.
OBJECTIVE:
M1. Maintain the Academy’s continued availability to the resident children of Westlake as
Westlake and the areas around Westlake grow through facility expansion and/ or
enrollment policy revisions as appropriate.
Goal N: Future Westlake should be an educational center.
OBJECTIVES:
N1. Improve and promote Westlake’s growing reputation as a community of educational
excellence and educational opportunity.
N2. Expand educational opportunities to additional schools (such as preparatory school) and
venues (such as interpretative nature trails) that give Westlake a unique value associated
with a strong commitment to educational experiences and opportunities.
Goal O: Future Westlake should transform future detention needs into a system of distinctive
water features and amenities for the Town.
OBJECTIVES:
O1. Encourage the gathering of required detention into major environmental amenities for the
Town.
6
O2. Maximize the potential of present and future lakes and water courses to enhance the value
of residential and non-residential development.
O3. Centralize detention as much as possible in current lakes/ ponds and other “in-line” water
catchment areas in order to encourage larger, more useful, and more recreational water
bodies.
O4. Anticipate the effects of upstream development in Keller and Southlake on the configuration
of future flood areas and water flow management systems (including creekways, lakes, and
ponds); and secure area for floodway/ water body expansions as they are needed and use
such increases to further enhance the open space and recreational assets of Westlake.
Goal P: Future Westlake should have sufficient infrastructure and emergency services to assure
the continued health and safety of the Town’s full-time and day-time populations.
OBJECTIVES:
P1. Create or expand a city sewer system that relieves the predominance of septic systems as
Westlake grows.
P2. Provide adequate fire service to accommodate both residential and non-residential demand
for such services, meet the requirements of insurers, and prevent future loss of life or
significant property damage to other properties.
P3. Provide adequate police service to accommodate both residential and non-residential
demand for such services, meet the requirements of insurers, and prevent future loss of life
or significant property loss.
P4. Form public/ private partnerships to facilitate private assistance with the cost of improved
emergency services.
Goal Q: Future Westlake should be a model of water conservation and environmental
preservation for the area.

I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The overall intent of the following Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements is to enable the
Town to achieve a long-term stable and positive financial condition. The watchwords of
the Town’s financial management include integrity, prudence, stewardship, planning,
accountability, and full disclosure.

well as its financial position from emergencies.
Section 11 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
E. Debt Management: Establish guidelines for debt financing that will provide needed
capital equipment and infrastructure improvements while minimizing the impact of debt
payments on current revenues.
F. Intergovernmental Relationships: Where feasible, coordinate efforts with other
governmental agencies to achieve common policy objectives, share the cost of
providing governmental services on an equitable basis and support favorable legislation
at the State and Federal level.
G. Grants: Seek, apply for and effectively administer within this policy’s guidelines, Federal,
State, and foundation grants-in-aid which address the Town’s current priorities and policy
objectives.
H. Economic Development: Initiate where feasible, encourage, and participate in
economic development efforts to create job opportunities and strengthen the local tax
base and economy
I. Fiscal Monitoring: Prepare and present regular reports that analyze, evaluate, and
forecast the Town’s financial performance and economic condition.

qualified financial advisors and consultants in the management and administration of
the Town’s financial functions.
K. Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting: Comply with prevailing Federal, State

possibilities for material errors in the Town’s financial records are minimized.
Section 11 Municipal Policies
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.
Section 11 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?
Section 11 Municipal Policies
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.
Section 11 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.
Section 11 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.

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.
Section 11 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.
Section 11 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.
Section 11 Municipal Policies
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.
B. Commitment to Business Expansion, Diversification, and Job Creation - The Town shall
encourage and participate in economic development efforts to expand Westlake's
economy to increase local employment. These efforts shall not only focus on newly
developing areas but also on other established sections of Westlake where development
can generate additional jobs and other economic benefits.
C. Coordinate Efforts with Other Jurisdictions - The Town's economic development program
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.
Section 11 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies

Section 11 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement program. The

sufficient for management to plan, monitor, and control Town’s financial affairs.
XIV. CAPITAL BUDGET AND PROGRAM
A. Preparation - The Town’s capital budget will include all capital projects funds and all
capital resources. While the capital budget will be prepared annually on a project basis, it
will be based on an on-going, multi-year capital improvement plan (CIP) that shows all
funded and unfunded projects as identified by staff for all Town facilities and infrastructure.
The multi-year CIP will be reviewed annually, updated by staff and presented to the
Council for its review and approval. The annual capital budget will be prepared by the
Finance Department with the involvement of responsible departments based on the multi-
year CIP.
B. Control - All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. The
Finance Director must certify the availability of resources before any capital project
contract is presented to the Town Council for approval.
C. Program Planning - The capital budget will be taken from the capital improvements
project plan for future years. The planning time frame for the capital improvements project
plan should normally be five years, with a minimum of at least three years. The
replacement and maintenance for capital items should also be projected for the next five
years. Future maintenance and operational costs will be considered so that these costs
can be included as appropriate in the annual budget.
Section 11 Municipal Policies
Municipal Fiscal & Budgetary Policies
D. Financing Programs - Where applicable and with Council approval, impact fees, pro-rata
charges, assessments, or other fees should be used to fund capital projects which have a
primary benefit to specific, identifiable property owners. 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.
E. Reporting - Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the department directors
to manage their capital budgets. Summary capital project status reports will be presented
to the Town Council quarterly.
XV. CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

needs increases future capital costs. 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/Utility/Vehicle Maintenance Replacement Fund) for major

originally. The replacement of assets components will normally be expenses unless
they are a significant nature and meet all the capitalization criteria.
E. Computer System/Data Security – The Town shall provide security of its computer/network

Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
I. SCOPE OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set out the philosophy, purpose, and intent of Westlake
Academy’s employee compensation system.
Westlake Academy’s mission is “an IB World School whose mission is to provide students
with an internationally minded education of the highest quality so they are well-
balanced and respectful life-long learners.”
The Superintendent shall recommend to the Board for approval compensation plans
for all Westlake Academy employees through the annual budget process based on
available funding. Compensation plans may include wage and salary structures,
stipends, benefits, and incentives. The Superintendent shall administer the
compensation plans consistent with the annual budget approved by the Board and
administrative guidelines.
Westlake Academy believes that market-based salary, in combination with employee
competence and their overall contribution to the Westlake Academy’s success, should
largely determine their compensation and career advancement opportunities. The
philosophy and objectives of this pay policy are as follows:
• First, Westlake Academy’s pay system should be internally equitable. It must
ensure that pay ranges of each position reflects the value of comparable
positions within our organization.
• Second, Westlake Academy’s pay system must be externally competitive in
the marketplace, so that Westlake Academy can fulfill its strategic outcome
objectives 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.
Note this plan is subject to change and revision based upon any changes made by the
state and/or federal laws, regulations, or procedures. The amounts provided herein are
not guaranteed and are subject to adjustment, including a reduction, at any time.
Pay Systems
Employee pay systems are designed and administered for the purpose of attracting
and retaining qualified employees to achieve the strategic goals of Westlake
Academy. The Human Resources Department is responsible for the development,
maintenance, and administration of employee pay systems in accordance with Board
policies, governmental laws, and applicable regulations.
Westlake Academy employees are classified in the professional contracted category
or a non-contracted category. The professional contracted category includes
teachers, counselors, nurses, and librarians and are classified as exempt (salaried). This
category utilizes a step-based system that utilizes credible years of professional service.
The salary scale is determined annually using a survey of nine surrounding school
districts. Employee pay is then based on the years of credible service as defined by
TEA, and the employee’s full-time equivalency. Employees receive a step increase
after each year of credible service. Non-contracted positions are surveyed and
Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
assigned a pay range that establishes the minimum to maximum pay range for the
position. Jobs are assigned to pay grades on the basis of the following factors: (1) job
qualifications and required skills; (2) job duties and responsibilities as defined by the
Academy; and (3) competitive job market prices.
Pay ranges are reviewed annually and adjusted periodically. Employee salaries will be
adjusted based upon available funding approved by the Board of Trustees each year.
Budgeted Pay Increases
The Superintendent will recommend a budget for pay increases as part of the annual
budget process. Budget recommendations for pay increases will be based on
available revenue, statutory requirements, competitive job markets, and the
Academy’s compensation objectives. Employee pay increases will be based on the
budget approved by the Board of Trustees each fiscal year. Salary schedules or
placement guidelines do not imply or promise similar salary increases in subsequent
years.
The pay increase budget recommended by the Superintendent may include
adjustments to remedy internal or external pay equity problems. Such equity
adjustments are made to retain employees due to competitive pay problems, to
correct an internal pay inequity (e.g. pay compression between supervisor and
assigned staff), or to compensate an employee for a significant change in job
responsibilities.
General Pay Increases and Eligibility
Employee salaries and wages will be reviewed annually for adjustment by the Human
Resources Department. General pay increases are based upon the annual budget
approved by the Board of Trustees.
To receive a general pay increase, an employee must be in a paid status or on an
approved leave of absence at the time of the first pay cycle reflecting the pay
increase.
General Pay Increase Amount(s) and Calculation
General pay increases will be calculated for each employee by applying a percent
increase approved by the Board of Trustees. A salary survey utilizing data from
surrounding Independent School Districts will be conducted on an annual basis to
determine adjustments to the instructional pay scale. It is the goal of Westlake
Academy to align the instructional pay scale to be within three (3) percent of the
median of surveyed districts.
Non-contracted employees will generally receive an annual increase equivalent to the
average percentage increase of instructional personnel. Pay increases for positions of
this classification may be increased or decreased, subject to Superintendent approval.
All pay increases are subject to the availability of funding and budgetary approval by
the Board of Trustees.
Job Documentation (Description)
Job documentation is an essential function in the administration of the compensation
system. Accurate and complete job documentation will be collected and maintained
by Human Resources. This includes complete and up-to-date job descriptions that
Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
address job qualifications, primary purpose, major duties and responsibilities, and
working conditions. Job titles will be assigned by Human Resources and will reflect a
logical job titling scheme to consistently describe the level and nature of work.
Annualized Compensation
Westlake Academy pays all salaried employees over 12 months regardless of the
number of months employed during the school year. Salaries may be adjusted using a
daily rate calculation multiplied by the number of days worked in the contract year.
Westlake Academy is not required to compensate salaried employees for additional
services or working additional days. Salaried employees will be paid in equal bi-
weekly payments, beginning with the first pay period of the school year. An employee
who separates from service before the last day of instruction or retires under TRS, will
receive in his or her final paycheck, a lump sum payment for wages actually earned
from the beginning of the school year to the date of separation. Employees that
separate after the last day of instruction will continue to receive paychecks through
the end of their twelve month pay cycle.
Exemption Status
All jobs will be classified as exempt or nonexempt in accordance with the requirements
of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and documented on the job description.
Human Resources will determine the classification of each position based on a
description of assigned job duties. To be exempt, the employee’s primary duties must
meet the requirements defined by federal regulations of the Executive, Administrative,
or Professional exemption test or be a teacher, and the employee must be
compensated on a salary basis. All employees who do not meet the legal
requirements for exemption are classified as non-exempt (hourly).
Job Classification
Job classification determines the assigned pay range for a job. Job classification is
based on job requirements, assigned duties, and market value. All jobs are classified on
the basis of common factors that indicate the relative level of knowledge and skill
requirements, complexity of assigned duties, job account-ability, and working
conditions. Human Resources will collect job information, evaluate jobs for classification
purposes, and assign pay ranges. The Superintendent has final authority concerning job
classifications and actual pay.
Classification of New Positions
Prior to posting, new positions must have a written job description created
collaboratively by Human Resources and the hiring supervisor. Human Resources will
determine the pay grade classification of new positions based on the job description,
qualifications required, and market value. New positions must be classified in the pay
system prior to hiring new employees.
Job Reclassification
A job reclassification occurs when a position is moved to a higher or lower pay range.
Jobs may be re-classified as a result of a significant and sustained change in job duties
assigned, a need to improve internal pay equity, or a change in the competitive job
market.
Procedures for Job Reclassification
Review of job reclassifications must be initiated by the job supervisor or Human
Resources. Requests should be submitted to the Human Resources Department in
Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
January of each year to allow adequate time for budget considerations.
(a) The supervisor may request a job classification review according to the
schedule and procedures designated by Human Resources. The
appropriate Department Head must approve the submission of the request
using a Personnel Requisition Form.
(b) The supervisor’s request must include a proposed job description, a written
explanation of the changes in job duties and responsibilities, and the
rationale for reclassifying the position. The request must be approved by
the Executive Director or Superintendent.
(c) Human Resources will review the request, obtaining additional job
information if needed. Additional information may be obtained by a
written questionnaire, or by analyzing external job market information.
Salary Adjustments for Job Reclassification
A change in job classification will result in a higher or lower pay range and thus, greater
or lesser potential for long-term pay advancement. Salary adjustments for job
reclassification may be made in the following circumstances:
(a) If the job is reclassified upward due to an increase in assigned job duties,
the procedure for promotion increases will apply.
(b) If the job is reclassified due to organizational changes, there may not be
an immediate pay increase. For contract employees in mid-year there will
not be a pay adjustment. [article III, section 53, Texas Constitution.]
(c) If the job is reclassified due to a change in the competitive job market,
equity adjustments may be made at the direction of the Superintendent.
(d) If the job is reclassified to a lower pay range based on a change in duties
assigned, the employee’s pay may be reduced at the direction of the
Superintendent. Refer to procedures on pay adjustments for demotion.
Salary Placement of New Hires
Teacher/Professional Placements
Salaries for new teachers will be determined by their total years of creditable
experience as defined by state regulation at the time of employment (TAC Title 19, part
II, 153.1021). Salaries are developed and approved annually and do not represent or
imply future pay increases or salary guarantees.
Salary Determination
The starting salary for new hires who are not under an employment contract will be
determined individually based on each person’s job-related experience, market data,
and salaries paid to peer employees in the same position with similar experience.
Market data will be used to determine salaries for positions
Salary recommendations for new hires may be adjusted by Human Resources for hard-
to-fill positions or to recognize uniquely qualified individuals for key staff positions. No
Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
employee may be placed above the hiring limits unless approved by the
Superintendent.
Promotion Defined
A promotion occurs when an employee is assigned to a different job in a higher pay
range, as determined by market data for that position. Pay adjustments for promotions
will begin with the effective date of the new assignment. For promotions that take
effect at the beginning of a school year, the promotion increase will be applied at that
time, pending budgetary approval.
Promotion Increases
A promotion increase for clerical, paraprofessional, or auxiliary employees is based on
the person’s current base hourly wage less any stipends paid. Promotion increases will
be determined by market data on the position, experience level, and education.
Demotion Defined
A demotion occurs when an employee is reassigned to a different job with less
responsibility at a lower pay grade level. Demotions may be voluntary or involuntary.
Position reclassification or general salary structure changes are not considered
demotions.
Pay Adjustments for Demotion
A reduction in pay as a result of a demotion will be made effective with the new
assignment. When a pay reduction is made for a demotion, the employee’s base pay
rate will generally be set at the same ratio to midpoint for an equivalent surveyed
position. For example, if the employee’s base pay was 110 percent of the midpoint in
the higher pay range, that person’s pay would be reduced to an equivalent 110 per-
cent of the midpoint in the lower pay range of the new position.
Annual Review and Adjustment of Pay Ranges
The Human Resource Department will review pay range structures annually and
recommend adjustments as needed to maintain competitive alignment with external
job markets. In order to remain competitive with sin the local job market, Westlake
Academy will strive to maintain a professional salary scale within three (3) percent of
the median of surrounding districts.
Stipends and Incentives
Employees who are assigned supplemental duties that accrue extra pay will be
compensated according to the district’s schedule for extra duty stipends. Stipends and
incentives are reviewed and modified periodically, and are de-pendent on available
funding. Stipends follow an administrative schedule, based on the estimated needs of
the program. Westlake Academy has established the following stipends as fixed
amounts, which may be subject to change following Superintendent approval:
• International Stipend ($9,000 annually): Recipients of the International Stipend
must be recruited from overseas to qualify for this stipend. U.S. Citizens who have
been recruited from overseas and have taught in IB schools for five years or more
abroad are also eligible.
• Advanced Degree Stipend: Westlake Academy offers a $1,500 annual stipend to
teachers who have a graduate degree from an accredited college or university,
and a $3,000 annual stipend for doctoral degrees. All degrees must meet the
regional accreditation standard established by the U.S. Department of Education.
Westlake Academy
Employee Compensation Plan Policy
Degrees earned outside the United States must meet all regional accreditation
equivalency. This stipend is pro-rated for employees who are considered less than
a 100% FTE.
• Department Head/Team Lead Stipends: Department Head and Team Lead
stipends are paid to instructional employees who have demonstrated advanced
subject knowledge in their field and who provide administrative support to the
leadership of the programme. Stipends are paid during a twelve (12) month
period. Amounts are subject to the approval of the Executive Director and
Superintendent.
• Sports Stipends: Sports stipend amounts are determined by the level of the sport

The Westlake Town Council is the governing body for the Town of Westlake and the Board of
Trustees is the governing body for Westlake Academy; therefore, they must bear the initial
responsibility for the integrity of governance. The Council/Board is responsible for its own
development (both as a body and as individuals), its responsibilities, its own discipline, and its
own performance. The development of this policy is designed to ensure effective and efficient
governance.
This policy will address Mayor/President and Council/Board relations, Council/Board and Staff
relations, and Council/Board and media relations. By adopting these guidelines for elected
officials, we acknowledge our responsibility to each other, to our professional staff, and to the
public. The Council/Board will govern the Town/Academy in a manner associated with a
commitment to the preservation of the values and integrity of representative local government and
democracy, and a dedication to the promotion of efficient and effective governing. The following
statements will serve as a guide and acknowledge the commitment being made in this service to
the community:
1. The Council/Board has as high priorities the continual improvement of the member’s
professional ability and the promotion of an atmosphere conducive to the fair exchange of
ideas and policies among members.
2. The Council/Board will endeavor to keep the community informed on municipal/academy
affairs; encourage communication between the residents and the Council/Board; strive for
strong working relationships among neighboring municipalities and elected officials.
3. In its governance role, the Council/Board will continue to be dedicated to friendly and
courteous relationships with Staff, other Council/Board members, and the public, and seek to
improve the quality and image of public service.
4. The Council/Board will also strive to recognize its responsibility to future generations by
addressing the interrelatedness of the social, cultural, and physical characteristics of the ties
of the community when making policies.
5. And finally, each Council/Board member will make a commitment to improve the quality of
life for the individual and the community, and to be dedicated to the faithful stewardship of
the public trust.

Page 7 of 10
SECTION II
BOARD AND STAFF RELATIONS
No single relationship is as important as that of the Council/Board and their Town Manager
/Superintendent in effectively governing the Town of Westlake/ Westlake Academy. It is for this reason
that the Council/Board and Town Manager /Superintendent must understand their respective roles in that
process. The Town Manager/Superintendent is the primary link between the Council/Board and the
professional Staff. The Council’s/Board’s relationship with the Staff shall be through the Town
Manager/Superintendent.
1. In order to ensure proper presentation of agenda items by Staff, questions arising from
Council/Board members after receiving their information packet should be, whenever possible,

information.

agenda item and shall see that each presentation is prepared and presented in order to inform and
educate the Council/Board on the issues which require action. The presentation should be
professional, timely, and allow for discussion of options for resolving the issue. The Staff member

options for Council/Board consideration.

8. The Town Manager/ Superintendent is responsible for the orientation of all new Council/Board
members after an election. The orientation shall include meeting procedures, Staff and media
relations, current agenda items and leadership training programs.
SECTION III
COUNCIL/BOARD AND MEDIA RELATIONS
Since the democratic form of government is only successful when the citizens are kept informed and
educated about the issues facing their municipality, it is imperative the media play an important role in the
council-manager-media relations. It is through an informed public that progress is insured and good
government remains sensitive to its constituents. These guidelines are designed to help ensure fair
relationships with print, radio, and television reporters. The Council/Board and the Town Manager/
Superintendent recognize that the news media provides an important link between the Council/Board and
the public. It is desire to establish a professional working relationship to help maintain a well informed
and educated citizenry.
1. During the conduct of official business, the news media shall occupy places designated for them or
the general public.
2. All reporters will have access to an agenda and will be furnished support material needed for
clarification if requested.
3. In order to preserve the decorum and professionalism of Council/Board meetings, the media are
requested to refrain from conversing privately with other people in the audience and to conduct any
interview with the public outside the meeting room while the Council/Board is in session.
4. Since each government body conducts business differently, it is requested that all reporters new to
Board meetings meet with the Town Manager/Superintendent, Mayor/President, or the designated
media relations representative prior to covering their first meeting to be informed of the policies and
procedures to help foster a professional working relationship between the media reporter and the
Town.
5. On administrative matters, the Town Manager/Superintendent is the spokesperson, unless he/she has
appointed a media relations person to present staff information on the agenda.
6. The Mayor/President, or his/her designee, is the primary spokesperson for the Town/Academy on
matters regarding policy decisions or any Council/Board information pertaining to issues on the
agenda. In order to ensure fair treatment of an issue, any clarifications requested by the media on the
issue should be addressed after the meeting. When opposing positions have been debated, regardless
of the outcome, the public is better informed when all sides have adequate coverage by the media.
This lets the public know that the item was seriously debated and options discussed before a vote
Page 9 of 10
was taken, and helps build confidence in the democratic process.
7. The Town of Westlake Council/Board is made up of five (5) Council/Board Members and a
Mayor/President, each elected by the residents of Westlake. In respect to each Council/Board
Member and his/her constituents, his/her views as presented on an issue before the Board should
provide equitable representation from all members. Even though Council/Board members may
express differing ideas, equitable representation helps promote unity of purpose by allowing the
public to be informed of each member’s position during his/her term of office and not only during an
election campaign.

We all have the responsibility to protect the integrity
of our governing process and therefore,

POLICY ON COUNCIL
MEETING
PROCEDURES
Approved by the Town Council
Resolution 15-27 on 09/21/15
Policy on Council Meeting Procedures Page 1
Upon adoption of this policy by the Town Council, the following rules and order of
business will be adhered to.
MEETINGS
Regular Meetings will be held on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Special
meetings shall be called, upon request of the Mayor or a majority of the members of the
Town Council as prescribed by the Texas Local Government Code Sec. 22.038. Should
the Town Manager identify a need for a special meeting, he or she shall consult with the
Mayor to schedule said meeting. All meetings shall be subject to the provisions of the
Texas Open Meetings Act, V.T.C.A., Government Code, Ch. 551, Open Meetings, as
amended.
Work Sessions may be scheduled prior to the regular meetings on the second and fourth
Monday of the month, as necessary. The time is subject to change at the discretion of the
Town Council or the Town Manager. Periodic Work sessions will also be scheduled to
provide the Town Council with time to discuss short term and long term goals. The
general public can, of course, attend such meetings, but may not participate in the
proceedings unless invited to do so by the Mayor.
Executive Sessions are an exception to the general rule that all meetings are open to the
public. Executive Session may be held on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
A special meeting can be called by the Mayor and the Town Manager. The Open
Meetings Act allows closed meetings in a few specific instances where privacy serves the
public interest – i.e. to discuss real estate, economic development, personnel matters.
The Council must keep a record of the meeting and it shall be certified by the Mayor to
assure that all matters discussed in executive session were properly recorded.
AGENDA
Agendas are prepared and posted for every meeting of the governmental body.
The Mayor, working in conjunction with the Town Manager, will exercise their
professional judgment in determining what items of business should come before the
Council. Any member of the Town staff wishing to have an item placed on the agenda
shall consult with the Town Manager’s office and then submit the item to the Town
Secretary.
Staff will post agenda packets on the internet for all Regular Meetings and Work Sessions
no later than the Friday afternoon preceding the week of scheduled meetings. This
should afford ample time for all Council members to inquire into the nature of each
matter to be discussed or to personally investigate the matter so as to be better informed
before a Council meeting.
Policy on Council Meeting Procedures Page 2
The Town Secretary’s office, in conjunction with the Town Attorney, assumes the
responsibility for compliance with the Open Meetings Act.
Pledge of Allegiance
First item on the regular Council agenda shall be to recite the Pledge of Allegiances.
Consent Agenda
All items listed on the consent agenda are considered routine by the Town Council and,
in the instance a Council workshop is held prior to a Council meeting, the Council will
have an opportunity review and ask questions related to the consent agenda items listed.
Consent agenda items will be enacted with one motion. There will be no separate
discussion of items unless a Council Member or citizen so requests, in which event the
item will be removed from the general order of business and considered in its normal
sequence.
Items of Community Interest
Expressions of thanks, congratulations or condolences; information regarding holiday
schedules; honorary recognition of town officials, employees or other citizens; reminders
about upcoming events sponsored by the Town or other entity that are scheduled to be
attended by a town official or town employee.
These procedures shall apply to all meetings of the Town Council. The Mayor shall be
the presiding officer at all meetings of the Town Council. In the event of the absence of
the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, the Mayor shall designate the presiding officer. In the
event the Mayor has failed to designate the presiding officer, the Council member with
the most seniority shall serve as presiding officer.
PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
In regular and special meetings, the Town Council will utilize reasonable rules of
parliamentary procedure in the conduct of its business. Below are examples (not
mandatory) of reasonable parliamentary procedure in certain types of actions of the Town
Council:
1. MAIN MOTION: A formal proposal to take certain action.
Step 1. Addressing the Chair. (Begin the discussion by having a member make
the motion. Motion should be made and seconded. After this, debate can
be conducted. (Ex: “Mayor, I move the following…”).
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE Yes
AMENDABLE Yes
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
Policy on Council Meeting Procedures Page 3
Step 2. Assigning the floor (Mayor recognizes the member)
Step 3. Making a motion.
Step 4. Seconding a motion.
Step 5. Stating the motion (Mayor states the motion)
Step 6. Debating the question. (Mayor allows debate, with maker of motion
speaking first in debate).
Step 7. Putting the question. (Mayor takes the vote after debate is complete).
Step 8. Announcing the result of vote. (Mayor announces the vote, members for
and against).
2. TO TAKE FROM THE TABLE: To enable an assembly to take up and consider
a motion that was postponed temporarily during the same meeting. Maybe used
at a future meeting if the item that was tabled was posted.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED Majority
3. AMENDING A MOTION Any motion may be amended as follows: “Mayor, I
move that we amend the motion by (adding, striking our, etc. the words…).” The
amendment must be seconded and then it can be discussed. When discussion

motion is then put to a vote as amended. If the amendment fails, the original
motion is put to a vote.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE Yes

4. TO OFFER A SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT: Another way to change an
original motion is by use of the Substitute Motion. A substitute motion is an

that if the substitute motion passes it does away with the original motion.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes
DEBATABLE Yes

5. LAY A MOTION ON THE TABLE: Sometimes the Council may wish to defer
action on a motion. One way to accomplish this is to lay a motion on the table. It
is in order to move that a main motion be laid on the table when discussion on the
main motion has or is about to end. A tabled motion can be brought from the
table during the same meeting but is usually done so at a later meeting when
unfinished business is being considered.
SECOND REQUIRED Yes

to determine the correct procedure. The point of order can have no additional
motions applied to the request other than a motion to withdraw.
SECOND REQUIRED No
DEBATABLE No
AMENDABLE No
VOTE REQUIRED Mayor must concede or deny.
RIGHTS IN DEBATE
Robert’s Rules of Order says that debate is the discussion regarding a motion that occurs
after the presiding officer has restated the motion and before putting it to a vote.
When a pending question is presented for consideration to the Council, the presiding
officer shall recognize the member who made the motion to speak first and the member
who seconded the motion to speak second. When two or more members wish to speak,
the presiding officer shall name the member who is to speak first. No member of the
Council shall interrupt another while speaking except to make a point of order or to make
a point of personal privilege. No member shall speak more than five minutes on any
amendment to the question except as further provided in this rule.

approval can be withdrawn at any time by the TC/BOT. Additionally, any on-going use
of Town facilities, resources, and staff by an advisory committee, commission, board, or
affiliate must be requested through the Town Manager’s office and is subject to his/her
approval prior to on-going utilization of those resources. Requests to add organizations
covered by this policy to the Town’s insurance policy shall be submitted to the Town
Manager for his prior approval before any insurance coverage is extended. If approved,
the annual cost of this insurance shall be borne by the requesting organization.
Requests to add staff to support any advisory board, commission, committee, or affiliate
shall be made through the Town Manger’s office as a part of the annual budget
preparation process and must be approved in advance by the TC/BOT . This request will
include the identification of funding resources to pay for this position, the operational

Case Study #1: Oakville
The City of Oakville was once a sleepy town that found itself swallowed up by the growing urban sprawl that
was happening throughout the area due to abundant land, low interest rates, and a growing population
attracted by well paying jobs in the city. As Oakville has grown, it has faced the typical strains of providing
infrastructure for new developments. Along with that challenge came the struggle of trying to find the
balance between the need for code enforcement to keep older neighborhoods vibrant, and the sense amongst
some citizens that code enforcement was becoming too strict.
That’s what brought Council Member Jane to see the Town Manager.
Council Member Jane told the Town Manager in her meeting with her, “I know that we voted to condemn the
house at 624, but we have got to revisit it. I talked to the homeowner and he is going to turn it into an office.”
The owner of the 624 property, now approved by the Council for condemnation and slated for demolition, had
appeared before the Council to request that he be allowed to make it into a second house on the property, so
that his mother could live there. But, that did not meet the zoning requirements, so the Council denied his
request. The house had been on the property for decades, long before there were any zoning ordinances in
Oakville. However, it had not been kept up, and neighbors had complained that it was an eyesore that
depreciates their property and attracts undesirable activity to their neighborhood. The City’s Code
Enforcement Officer had condemned it as a public nuisance, health hazard and being unsafe, thus beginning
the process that brought the property owner appealing to the Council Meeting for a public hearing on the
matter in the first place. The Council had voted unanimously to condemn it, but now Council Member Jane
was pleading with the Town Manager that she had spoken with the property owner and that he wanted to
turn it into an office.
“I want you to hold off the demolition of that house until he’s had time to come back before the Council, so
we can hear his new plan”, Council Member Jane told the Town Manager. Although not saying it, Council
Member Jane clearly infers to the Town Manager that she would have no trouble getting the City Council to
make a different decision than the one that had been made. The Town Manager wonders if Council Member
Jane is talking to other Council members about this informally. The Council normally doesn’t meet in the
summer and it has been at least 2 months since the Council voted to condemn this substandard structure for
demolition, so unless the Council were to have a special meeting, it will be August or September at the earliest
before the condemnation could be reconsidered. Plus, since public notice was issued for the initial
condemnation hearings, the Town Manager would have to re-publish such notices again to make sure that no
due process issues were created if the Council were to take up this matter again in a public meeting.
Is there governance principle or principles “at play” here? If so, what is it? How should the
Town Manager respond to Council Member Jane? What, if anything, should the Council do
about this situation?
Case Study #2: Beachside
Page 1 of 2
Frederick Lowe, Town Manager of Beachside, sat in his office overlooking the ocean on a Friday afternoon,
knowing that the Council faced a hard decision at the upcoming Council meeting. The staff would make a
recommendation on beach access, in light of the recent protests from Duncan's Hill and other nearby towns.
But at this point, it wasn’t clear what the Staff recommendation would be.
The beautiful town of Beachside has six miles of excellent public beaches in a crowded area of the country,
where beach access is worth a great deal of money. Beachside adopted, very early, a policy of excluding all
non-residents from its beaches, and began issuing beach passes for residents and their friends when the town
became too large for the beach patrol to tell non-residents from residents by sight.
When Federal law decreed that all beaches, at least below the high tide mark, had to be open to all on the
basis of equal access, Beachside immediately complied with the law and declared the beaches open to all.
But, the parking lots for the beaches, on town land, were for residents only, and there was no parking
allowed on the streets near the water. A scale of monstrous parking fines, well publicized and well enforced,
rapidly established that Beachside was serious about the parking restrictions. The nearest legal street parking
was about a mile away from the water, making a very long trek for anyone with beach umbrellas or children.
The result was, as predicted and desired, that very few non-residents spent very much time on Beachside's
beaches.
Duncan's Hill, the nearest inland town, had lodged a protest about a year ago, claiming (correctly) that the
intent and effect of Beachside's parking restrictions was to exclude non-Beachside citizens from their
country's seashore, or at least from that part of it that bordered Beachside. Frederick, the Town Manager,
had made a formal reply at that time, pointing out that the seashore was maintained in part by the Federal
Government, but that the parking lots were built by the Town of Beachside and maintained entirely at
Beachside’s sole expense. Thus, Beachside had every right to be exclusive about them. As for the parking
restrictions on the street, they were reasonable and necessary for public safety. Now, two recent issues
related to Beachside’s beaches have clouded the picture.
Many families of the region have branches of their family in both Beachside and Duncan's Hill, both small
towns with long histories. Arrangements have been made to slip "permanent guest" passes into the hands of
many Duncan's Hill residents. There is even a certain amount of pressure to extend beach privileges to all
Duncan's Hill residents.
Case Study #2: Beachside
Page 2 of 2
Also, more towns have expressed interest in Beachside's beaches. Especially threatening to the townsfolk are
the inquiries from Newtown, a fast-growing ex-urbanite center to the west, and Oldport, a large ethnically
diverse working-class community to the east. Made nervous by these developments, the Beachside Council
wants a solution that will make things the way they used to be. Realistically, the options seem to be:
1. Stand firm on parking lot access and street regulations. But, these restrictions would have to apply just
as strictly to Duncan's Hill, and that will make some people very unhappy.
2. Extend full access to Duncan's Hill on grounds of historical connection but deny it to all other towns.
That might not stand up in court, and some Council Members say it doesn't sound right.
3. Provide open access to the present parking lots for all towns, possibly with higher fees for non-
residents to make up for the taxes the townsfolk pay for those lots. Such wide access would in
practice exclude many Beachside residents (who would not be able to get into the parking lots on
good beach days) and would probably create some political backlash.
4. Doubling or tripling the size of the parking lots (the town has vacant land available for that purpose),
then granting open access, charging higher fees to non-residents. The town might actually make
money on that venture. The atmosphere of the beaches would be changed by increased crowds,
including a substantial increase in ethnic diversity.
5. Close the beaches altogether.
What is the policy issue or issues here? What is the best way to deal with this situation?
Case Study #3: Pleasantville
Page 1 of 2
Pleasantville is a small, land-locked largely residential community within an expanding metropolitan area.
Although largely residential, Pleasantville has a viable, long-standing business community that employs many people
who live in nearby communities but are engaged in Pleasantville’s civic and recreational activities. While not as large as
the residential tax base, never the less, the businesses in Pleasantville have diversified the tax base enough to help
reduce the ad valorem tax burden on Pleasantville residents.
Additionally, these businesses’ employees spend money in Pleasantville restaurants and retail businesses,
generating sales tax which funds Pleasantville city services and infrastructure improvements. One of principal reasons
some of these major Pleasantville businesses came to and have stayed in Pleasantville was because, long ago,
Pleasantville decided to build a municipally owned airport. However, over the years, Pleasantville residents have lost
the awareness of why this airport was built in the first place. Many residents see it simply as a noise generator that their
homes have been built around and now surround. Initially hugely successful in terms of air traffic, the City of
Pleasantville has not re-invested its airport. As a result, the airport has not kept pace with modern general aviation
facility standards. The airport is “tired”, needs capital improvements, and has seen steady decreasing air traffic over
recent years. While the residents, for the most part, do not use the airport, Pleasantville’s business community still
does.
Because of the growing metropolitan area and its own business community, the Pleasantville City Council is
considering investing $10 million to improve the airport, including new hangars, major runway repairs, a small new
general aviation terminal, taxiway improvements, and improved runway lighting. The airport itself barely covers
operating expenses, including the full time fixed base operator (FBO) who is threatening to leave if the airport is not
improved. Even with the local businesses using the airport, over 75% of the airport’s flight traffic is from businesses and
aviators who do not live in Pleasantville. The FBO steadfastly maintains these numbers will improve if the $10 million
capital improvement plan (CIP) is implemented for the airport, but he is not willing to guarantee this will occur.
Pleasantville’s City Council has been approached by a different stakeholder groups, each of whom have a
specific agenda for the airport. One group, a group of commercial business owners who operate primarily in
Pleasantville, have approached the City Council requesting that the Council devote significantly more resources to the
airport, as well as expand it. While they support the $10 million CIP under Council consideration for the airport, this
group claims that Pleasantville would reap significant revenues from expanded commercial use of the airport. While
most of their employees do not live in Pleasantville, these business owners argue that both investing in, as well as
expanding the airport, would lead to business growth and thus to an expanded job/tax base in Pleasantville. The
businesses owners claim that an expanded airport would allow more general aviation commercial flights, increasing the
fee revenue garnered from aircraft using the airport, create more ad valorem tax revenue from aircraft based at the
airport, and help their own businesses expand.
Another stakeholder interested in the airport is interested only in the airport property, not the airport itself.
This stakeholder is a developer who has formally approached the Council with a proposal to close the airport and
convert the property into a mixed-use development zone. She claims that this will invest $500 million dollars with this
development into Pleasantville, but it will also require that she obtain the property from the City at a below market
value and, for the mixed-use development to be successful, it must have residents, i.e. apartments. The developer
claims that apartments would attract the employees of the Pleasantville businesses, many of which she says wish to live
in Pleasantville closer to their place of employment. Apartments are something to which Pleasantville residents have
long been opposed. The developer points out that this $500 million-dollar development supposedly would not only
Case Study #3: Pleasantville
Page 2 of 2
attract new residents to Pleasantville with school aged children, it would greatly help the long-term tax base and
revenues for the city, whose tax base has been stagnating for years. Pleasantville schools are stressed, and some
schools have been closely due to gentrification and a declining population of school age children.
A third group of interested Pleasantville residents coalesced initially in opposition to the developer’s mixed-use
development proposal, especially the apartments. They do not want growth which they say adds more traffic which
means Pleasantville roads will only get more congested. They claim that the proposed mixed-use development would
severely depreciate the quality of life in the Pleasantville. But, they also do not support spending $10 million to improve
the airport. They see the airport solely as a noise generator that adversely impacts their quality of life as Pleasantville
residents. Instead, they advocate that the Council close the airport, and convert it into a community or regional park.
Claiming to speak for all Pleasantville residents, they contend that Pleasantville does not have enough parks, and such a
park on the airport site would greatly benefit the city by converting this economic oriented area into open space that
benefits everyone. No one has studied this option, has any idea as to the capital or operating costs of building such a
park, nor does anyone have any idea at this point as to what type of park improvements would be desired by the
Pleasantville community if such a park even existed. The local soccer and youth baseball leagues, many of which have
children enrolled of Pleasantville employees who don’t live in Pleasantville have voiced strong support for this idea.
Because of this airport controversy, the City Staff has been receiving significant calls from residents, developers
and businesses, each of which have their own opinions on the matter. The Staff has brought the issue to Council to
determine what should be done with the airport. A recent annual City services satisfaction survey found:
• Only 30% of Pleasantville residents use the airport, but it ranks very highly among those who do use it as
a priority for the City, especially Pleasantville businesses.
• While 70% of Pleasantville residents want additional greenspace or parks, it ranks quite low on
residents’ priorities for the City and historically Pleasantville residents have indicated in past citizen
surveys a desire to reduce municipal property taxes.
• Finally, about 50% of Pleasantville residents oppose the idea of a mixed-use development that includes
apartments, even if it provided a significant increase in revenues to the City.
What is the policy issue or issue here? How would you go about
dealing with this situation? Whose “voice” or “voices” should be
listened to?
