Introduction
The Town of Westlake Capital Improvement Plan is guided by the Town's vision, core values and
organizational mission. Our vision recognizes the attributes we cherish as a community and sets the
standard for the Westlake that we want to see in the tomorrows that are yet to be.
Westlake's Community Vision
Westlake is an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty amidst an ever expanding
urban landscape.
Vision Points
— Sense of Place
Distinctive neighborhoods, architecturally vibrant corporate campuses, grazing
longhorns, soaring red-tailed hawks, meandering roads and trails, lined with natural
stone and native oaks.
— Leadership
A premiere place to live, leadership in public education, corporate and governmental
partnerships, and high development standards.
— Caring Community
Informed residents, small town charm and values, historical preservation.
— Exemplary Governance
Town officials, both elected and appointed, exhibit respect, stewardship, vision, and
transparency.
—Service Excellence
Public service that is responsive and professional, while balancing efficiency,
effectiveness and financial stewardship.
Community Values
Innovation
Educational Leaders
Family Friendly and Welcoming
Engaged Citizens
Preservation of Our Natural Beauty
Strong Aesthetic Standards
Transparent Government
Fiscal Responsibility
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 the Process for Developing the CIP?
Capital budgeting may be described as the process used to determine the Town's long-term
infrastructure needs. They are generally broken down on a project basis which describes the scope
and total costs associated with the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of the
project.
The CIP leans heavily upon the Town's comprehensive and strategic plan. The CIP plays an integral
role in the implementation of the Town's strategic plan, long-term operating budget, and capital
budget. The flowchart in Figure 1 outlines how the Town's comprehensive and strategic plan are
essential in successfully creating a capital improvement program.

What is a CIP?
First, what it is not; a CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) is not a wish list, rather it is a realistic plan
designed to fulfill the strategic goals and objectives necessary to achieve the mission and vision of
the community. A CIP is a 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.
10
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 one or more of the following groups:
parks & recreation, transportation, utilities and facilities.
Capital Assets by Category
When most people think of the Town's capital assets, they automatically 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 of the Town's infrastructure
such as its streets, water and sewer mains, vehicles and other equipment. In preparing this year's
CIP, the staff utilized our annual audit and the inflationary trends discussed later to estimate the
current value of the Town's assets (shown below).

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) revenue sources such as sales,
hotel/motel and property taxes (cash funded), 2) state/federal funding through public grants, 3)
private funding via developmental impact fees or charitable donations and 4) issuance of bonds.
The proposed 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 referenced in this CIP: General Obligation (GO) bonds which require voter approval
and Certificates of Obligation (CO) bonds which do not require voter approval. The current CIP is
funded primarily from four sources: Capital Projects funds & Utility funds (cash on hand),
Contributions and CO bonds.
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. To measure the
impact of inflation, the federal government records current rates and creates indexes to track
inflation over time.
Similarly, the Municipal Cost Index (MCI) was created by the publication American City & County to
illustrate how inflation affects costs specific to municipal service provision, including construction
costs. AC&C's website explains that, "the MCI draws on the monthly statistical data collected by the
U.S. Departments of Commerce and Labor as well as independently compiled data to project a
composite cost picture for the municipal budget officer or operating department manager.

The composite index is adjusted by changes in the cost of materials and supplies, wages and
contracted -for services. It is a weighted average of the more detailed price indexes measuring
consumer cost fluctuations, industrial commodity wholesale prices, and construction contract costs.

The figure above depicts the 12 -month rolling average percentage change in the MCI. Notice that a
positive slope indicates that the MCI is increasing at an increasing rate, while negative slopes still
indicate a positive increase, but at a lesser rate. While no predictor of future changes in the
economy is ever certain, a common and reliable method for estimating these changes utilizes the
average percentage change over time to estimate future long-term trends. The average percentage
change across all years in the MCI is 2.78% (represented by the dark trend line).

Figure 8 - Municipal Cost Index Analysis
Similar to stock markets which have historically averaged 10% returns, this average is made up of
individual fluctuations that vary greatly. The chart above utilizes statistical regression analysis to
provide the thresholds for these percentage changes in any given month. In other words, 95% of
the time, the average inflation for municipal costs will fall within this range. Like many other similar
economic trends, recent months have fallen outside the norm which is typical during a recession or
post -recessionary period.
This data is important in calculating the Town's future liability; by utilizing these 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.
Conclusions
Capital Improvement Plans play an integral role in helping a municipality reach its stated strategic
objectives. Equally important to the capital project development process are funding and economic
considerations. Prudent financial stewardship should be based on cost minimization and long-range
strategic capital preservation. While there are many methods for funding capital projects,
consideration to who benefits from the project, the life of the capital asset and the affordability of
the funding method are all important factors to consider.

Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan for 2012 through 2017 presents the Town's plan for infrastructure
development and improvements. On September 12, 2011, the Town Council adopted the first year of the
plan (2011/12) as part of the annual budget process. The remaining years are recommended as a plan for
future town infrastructure development and improvement.
The Capital Improvement Plan is evaluated annually by the Town leadership to determine the financial
availability of resources for design, construction, operations, and maintenance. The following chart
provides a graphical comparison of the previous capital improvement plans.

system. Westlake's portion of the engineering/design costs is estimated at $15,000. Construction and
landscaping cost estimates have not yet been completed. Funding participation is anticipated to be 1/3
from each party.
Vehicles & Equipment
Vehicles and equipment represent approximately 6% of the Town's assets or roughly $3.4M. While the
current CIP does not contain any proposals for vehicle or equipment replacement, it is important to note
that of the seven vehicles (including a utility truck) the Town currently owns, three are completely
depreciated and three more will become completely depreciated within the next five years. Similarly, of
the fourteen FF&E asset groups, eight are currently fully depreciated and the remainder will be within the
next five years. Whether or not an asset has been fully depreciated does not by itself warrant the need to
replace it, however, depreciation does serve as an indicator that the likelihood the asset will need to be
replaced in the near future is fairly high.
The Town maintains a General Maintenance & Replacement Fund and is working towards funding annually
for any replacement items needed in subsequent years. The estimated FY 11-12 year-end fund balance is
$764,000.

Parks & Recreation
The Parks & Recreation Department is
responsible for maintaining the Town's parks
and trails. The Town of Westlake provides
residents with one Town park which is located
near the Glenwyck subdivision.
The Town also maintains several trails located
near the Glenwyck and Vaquero subdivisions.
While many more trails have been discussed,
no funding has been provided in recent years.
In recent resident surveys parks and trails have
consistently rated as high priority/low
satisfaction items suggesting a need for
improvement. One of the goals of the current CIP is to begin creating the trails that will provide
connectivity from the Town's West side to its Eastern limits as well as interconnectivity with
PIT— I
neighboring jurisdiction's trail systems.

Utilities
The Town of Westlake currently owns a
minimum of approximately $24M of utility fixed
assets. These take the form of water, sewer
and telecommunications duct bank lines. These
assets are initially installed through
development and later transferred to the Town
for upkeep and maintenance.
With the recent completion of the Stagecoach
Hills water main, the Town's utility infrastructure
is in relatively good shape with no known
deficiencies. The five items that are fully
depreciated are water lines that were
transferred from the City of Keller which may
need replacement in the near future but that are
fully operational now. It should also be noted that the Town is currently engineering a GIS system that will map
all infrastructure; this project provides us the opportunity to review the condition of these assets and their
values which will be revised as necessary.

TRA Assumption of N1 Sewer Line
This project is intended to transfer ownership of a section of sewer line from Westlake and
Southlake to TRA. It includes the design and construction of a metering station with SCADA
equipment at the proposed Town of Westlake "Point of Entry." Westlake will be required to
conduct an extensive inflow and infiltration study and perform repairs (separate capital project).
N-1 Sewer Line Transfer I & I
As a condition of the N-1 sewer line transfer Westlake was required to conduct an extensive inflow
and infiltration study. The study will identify repairs that need to be made.
Stagecoach Hills Waterline Connection
This project will consist of constructing a water line to Stagecoach Hills from the existing pump
station or 20" water line and the replacement of lines within the subdivision itself.
Ground Storage Tank
This project will consist of designing and constructing a new ground storage tank at the
MO
existing pump station. We anticipate this tank will be a 1,000,000 gallon tank and will be needed to
augment services once Deloitte has become fully staffed. Maintenance (consisting of inspection and
cleaning) would not be expected until year two. Debt service payments = approximately $170k/yr.
