WESTLAKE
March 19, 2019
Honorable Mayor, Council Members and the Citizens of the Town of Westlake,
The Town of Westlake (the "Town") Fiscal and Budgetary Policies require that the Town's Finance
Department prepare a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report(CAFR)for the Town of Westlake, Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30,2018,
is hereby issued.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Town. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information
presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making representations, the Town established
a comprehensive internal control framework that was designed both to protect the Town's assets from
loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Town's
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh
their benefits, the Town's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatements. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial
report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The Town's financial statements have been audited by Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. The goal of the
independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Town for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, were free of material misstatements. The independent audit
involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon
the audit,that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Town's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,2018,were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
The independent auditors'report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
This report is presented in three sections: Introductory, Financial and Statistical. The Introductory
Section includes this transmittal letter, a listing of Town Officials, and an organizational chart of the
Town. The Financial Section includes the independent auditor's report on the basic financial statements,
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), basic financial statements, the notes to the basic
financial statements, and combining and individual fund statements and schedules. The MD&A is a
narrative introduction, containing overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement, and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A.

The Town of Westlake's MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor's report.
The Statistical Section includes financial and demographic information relevant to readers of the Town's
financial statements. The statistical data is generally presented on a multi-year basis.
Profile of the Town
Westlake is an oasis of natural beauty that maintains open spaces in balance with distinctive development,
trails, and quality of life amenities amidst an ever-expanding urban landscape.
Nestled in the DFW Metroplex, Westlake is Gold Level Scenic City and Tree City USA designated, and
home to many small independent businesses and several corporate campuses
Distinctive developments and architecturally vibrant corporate campuses find harmony among our
meandering roads and trails, lined with native oaks and stone walls. We are leaders in education, known
for our innovative partnerships between the Town-operated Charter school and our corporate neighbors.
We strive to maintain strong aesthetic standards and preserve the natural beauty in our town. Hospitality
finds its home in Westlake, as a community, we are family friendly, welcoming, fully involved and
invested in our rich heritage, vibrant present and exciting, sustainable future.
Westlake is conveniently located between DFW Airport and Alliance Airport, on the south side of State
Highway 114, providing quick, easy access to all areas of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.
The unique location of Westlake is ideal for many of its major corporate campuses and residential
communities. A common ideal shared by our corporate and individual residents is their support of the
existing character and charm of the community as well as a commitment to excellence in new
development.
Minutes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas and DFW International Airport, the Town of Westlake is
home to several upscale residential communities and Fortune 500 companies, all of which share a unique
character and charm, along with a commitment to excellence. The Town is located in northeast Tarrant
County and may be conveniently accessed by several major thoroughfares, including SH 114 and US 377.
The Town occupies approximately 7 square miles and serves a population of approximately 1,383. In
2018, the average size of new home construction was 9,693 square feet with an average estimated
construction cost of$1.82 million.
The Town, incorporated in 1956, is considered a Type A general-law municipality. The Town operates
under the Council-Manager form of government. The Council is comprised of a mayor and five(5)council
members and is responsible for, among other things,passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing
committees, and hiring the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies
and ordinances of the Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Town and appointing and
supervising heads of various departments. The Mayor and Town Council members serve two (2) year
terms. All elected officials are elected at-large for a two-year staggered term each May.
The financial reporting entity (the government) includes all funds of the primary government (i.e. the
Town of Westlake), as well as all its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for
which the primary government is financially accountable. The following entities are considered blended
component units:
iv
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the Town
to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act,as it's duly constituted authority
and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing body, is comprised of
seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing body.
413 Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the
Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town and
the State of Texas to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote and encourage
employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing, implementing,
financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B of the Act. The
board of directors is composed of seven persons appointed by the members of the Town Council. Four of
the members of the board of directors are members of the Town Council.
Westlake Academy (Academy) is an open-enrollment charter school, as provided by Subchapter D,
Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake ("Charter Holder") applied for and
became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special charter designation. The Academy had
825 students in FY 15-16 and serves Kindergarten thru 12th grade. The Academy graduated their first
class in FY 09-10. The Board consists of six(6)trustees and is appointed by the Town's governing body.
Currently, all members of the board of trustees are members of the Town's governing body. The
Academy's year-end is August 31
Discretely presented component units are legally separate entities and not part of the primary
government's operations. These component units are as follows: Texas Student Housing Corporation-
Denton Project, Texas Student Housing Authority-Jefferson Commons at Town Lake Project, Texas
Student Housing Corporation-College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Authority.
Services Provided
Westlake's value proposition is found in the excellent municipal and academic services that are provided
to our residents—all at an exceptional price! Our community has high expectations for service delivery
—both in accessibility, responsiveness, financial stewardship, amenities, distinctive developments, open
spaces and education.
Major services provided under the general government and enterprise functions are: Fire and emergency
medical services, police, water and sewer utility services, park and recreational facilities, street
improvements, education and administrative services. The Town utilizes a combination of direct service
delivery along with out-sourced services in its service delivery mix. The decision as to which service to
deliver directly versus out-sourcing is based on analysis of cost-effectiveness, citizen responsiveness, and
customer service quality.
Economic Conditions and Outlook
Local Challenges Involving Residential Growth
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the environment within which the Town operates.
The Town staff is aware that the Town of Westlake does not create wealth, but instead, is entrusted with
public dollars collected on behalf of our citizens. We are stewards who are fully vested in the success of
the Town of Westlake and Westlake Academy. We exist as a municipal corporation for one reason and
one reason only: to prioritize and deliver the best services possible with the resources provided to achieve
v
an exceptional quality of life. This is a challenge the Staff takes very seriously, one that we pursue with
vigor every day. Over the previous fiscal year,the Town has achieved and/or is continuing to work toward
important initiatives and projects that will allow us to balance our "distinctive development, trails, and
quality of life amenities amidst an ever-expanding urban landscape."
Because of the current and potential development within our community, it is both an exciting and
challenging time in Westlake! Adhering to the Town's Vision is the key to Westlake's success for
managing the significant growth. While growth is occurring, it also presents very clear challenges for
our community if we wish to continue to maintain the elements of Westlake that make it so unique.
These community attributes include our beautiful neighborhoods with top quality residences, strong
aesthetic standards, a top-tier Town owned K-12 charter school, open space preservation, streetscaping,
emphasis on proactive planning, and maintaining our view corridors. The "sea of change"that
surrounds Westlake involves not only our current internal development but also the current growth
opportunities planned for the State Highway(SH 114) corridor in northeast Tarrant County and into
southern Denton County. The communities that surround us are undergoing significant development as
well, which adds to the "sea of change" affecting Westlake.
The impact of anticipated growth along the SH 114 corridor is described by Mr. Robin McCaffrey(AIA
and APA) of MESA Planning, the firm that was engaged to update the Town's latest Comprehensive
Plan,Forging Westlake. According to Mr. McCaffrey:
Westlake, with the arrival of the Charles Schwab Corporation project, is crossing through a
portal into the future suggested by the Town's 2015 Comprehensive Plan. In conjunction with
Fidelity and other financial services in and around Westlake, Westlake hosts nearly 4 million
square feet of an industry type (i.e.financial services), constituting a significant Industry Cluster.
At this scale, the aggregation of a single industrial code activity is important enough to attract
vertical and horizontal expansion, which further substantiates Westlake's importance as a
financial services center in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Bringing the above described
importance to the Town's other advantages ofproximity, makes Westlake a singularly important
center for growth and development going forward.
• Westlake's Permanent Population Growth: This is the portion of our population considered to be
our permanent residents. From the 1990 population of 185 to 2018's population of 1,383 represents
an increase of 747% equal to 1,198 additional residents. We will need to continue to monitor and
plan for the continued increase in these numbers considering our Comprehensive Plan's (Forging
Westlake) forecast of approximately 7.21% annual population growth between now and 2040. This
would bring us to around 7,000 residents.
• Traffic Demands Due to Growth in Westlake and Surrounding Areas: The four(4)
municipalities surrounding Westlake (Keller, Southlake, Trophy Club, and Roanoke) are projected to
have a combined population of 215,000 people by 2040. The growth in these communities will
generate additional traffic that commutes through our Town. With our projected level of residents
(7,000) and the existing zoning entitlements (if executed)we would expect an estimated 300,000
vehicle trips per day. Local impacts associated with this level of growth affect our street
infrastructure, water and sewer system capital investment requirements, as well as demand for daily
municipal services. Policies established in Forging Westlake will be essential for addressing this
issue via the Town's thoroughfare plan as it pertains to development which occurs in the community.
• Housing Start Increases and Maintaining Westlake's High-Quality Residential Housing: We
continue to see strong single-family residential construction demand. This has been demonstrated in
A
Granada, Carlyle Court, Quail Hollow, Vaquero, and Terra Bella. Additionally, the infrastructure for
a new single-family residential development, The Knolls is under construction.
Also, the mixed-use development called Entrada continues to progress with residential and
commercial projects under construction and making significant headway. Entrada's infrastructure is
being financed with a Town approved Public Improvement District(PID), the bonds for which are
paid back by assessments on development within Entrada. When the infrastructure is complete, it
will add(over time) a wide variety of 322 residential units to Westlake -ranging from single family
homes, to villas, to town homes.
Our residential construction activity shows a steady increase in building permits for housing which
has occurred since we have emerged from the 2008-09 recession. Housing starts in Westlake, due to
the high value of our homes, add taxable value to our taxing base; however, this also impacts the
demand for municipal services, especially the Town's charter school, Westlake Academy.
As the area economy continues to perform well, and Westlake and our surrounding communities
continue to experience commercial development, this will further attract individuals who work for
and own these businesses. In turn, these individuals will need housing. As our housing stock
expands in response to these forces, we will need to manage our distinctive developments to ensure
we maintain our community as an `oasis of natural beauty' and achieve high-end housing options as
identified in the Housing element of Forging Westlake.
Local Challenges Involving Commercial Growth
• Commercial Development, Economic Development, and Daytime Population Growth:
Because Westlake is the home to major corporate office campuses, its Monday-Friday daytime
population is growing and is conservatively estimated to be approximately 10,000 - 12,000
individuals. These office complexes are comprised of notable corporate clients that include Deloitte
LLP, Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab.
• Charles Schwab Corporate Campus: Since the announcement of their regional corporate campus
in 2016, Phase 1 will consist of a 500,000-sq. ft. office building and parking garage which is nearing
completion and expected to be occupied in the fall of 2019. Phase 2 was announced in 2018 and
will comprise of an additional 500,000 sq. ft office building and parking garage. Adjacent to the
Schwab campus will be a mixed-use development, which Hillwood Properties will develop near the
intersection of SH170 and SH114. The campus will initially have approximately 1,500-1,900
employees and should round out with an estimated 6,000 employees when all phases are complete
• Commercial Development in Entrada: The mixed-use development called Entrada, located at
FM1938/Davis Blvd. and SH114, will also create growth in our commercial tax base. During the
past budget year additional commercial buildings have been approved by the Town for the
development. A CVS Pharmacy is open for business as well as a Primrose Private School. Starbucks
and restaurants are scheduled to open by the end of 2019. Other commercial uses include various
retail, restaurants, amphitheater and hotels.
• Economic Development: The Town has also pursued the ideas advanced in the Economic
Development element of Forging Westlake. That is, where appropriate, to pursue businesses that
ultimately expand the Town's tax base with high quality office buildings, and at the same time,
compliments our financial services business cluster which has already been created through our
corporate residents of Fidelity, Deloitte and Charles Schwab. Further, we pursue the types of
vii
businesses interested in high quality office campus development and creating well-paying positions
for employees. With the completion of Charles Schwab along with TD AmeriTrade's complex in
Southlake, we will be well on our way to becoming a financial services corridor within the DFW
Metroplex.
• Balanced Growth to Impact Cost of Municipal Services: Likewise, the ability to fund municipal
services utilizing a cost-effective revenue format requires balanced growth that provides for
commercial development and a diversified tax base, while maintaining the community's open space
and bucolic atmosphere. At the same time, we must continue to ensure the policy direction of the
Town is focused on growth paying for the infrastructure for which it creates the demand.
Staff will continue to monitor our corporate stakeholders and attempt to identify avenues to strengthen
these relationships and assist in attracting new corporations to Westlake. The expansion of commercial
development will continue to grow Westlake's daytime population.
Local Challenzes - Other
There are other local challenges involving both financial and physical site planning, strategic
forecasting, residential feedback through our survey instruments and the Town's public charter school,
Westlake Academy. As we look to regional or state issues and opportunities,we will monitor these
issues among others:
• Pending ad valorem property tax cap proposed by the Governor—as presented, the proposal
would restrict the Council's ability to respond locally to the needs of our community. Staff will
continue to monitor any legislation put forward for consideration and advise both the community and
the Council as updates or changes occur.
• Water usage and demand—our staff team will continue to work with the City of Fort Worth on the
Phase 2 waterline construction that will help secure our current and future water needs for Westlake.
• Westlake's residential growth impact on the Academy: Planning for Academy growth in the face
of residential development continues to be a challenge. Wherever possible, the Town has entered
economic development agreements with residential developers to provide funding for Westlake
Academy facilities to lessen the impact of their residential development on the school's enrollment.
Town staff is currently updating Westlake Academy Facility Master Plan to determine student
population and facility needs.
• Pursuit of Infrastructure and Services Reinvestment While Combating Certain Cost Increases:
We must also reinvest in maintaining our infrastructure. However, with growth comes the need to
allocate capital spending in new public buildings and our water and sewer utility. An example of a
key project needed to deal with the Town's growth, is a Phase 2 water transmission line to our
wholesale water provider. This is a costly project which required a significant investment in our
water system.
As our community evolves staff will keep a close eye on partnerships and/or opportunities that will help
foster mobility within the community without compromising the design standards and expectations of our
residents. East/West traffic continues to be an area of concern along with the ability of our surrounding
highway capacity for transient vehicles. Town staff is working with TxDOT regarding plans for
construction of service roads between FM 1938 and Dove Road in Southlake.

Other Information
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States of America and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Town of Westlake for
its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. To be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
In addition, we also received our eleventh GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2017 for our municipal budget and the ninth year for our educational services
budget for Westlake Academy, a component unit of the Town. To qualify for the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award, the Town and Academy budget documents had to be judged proficient as a policy
document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
Westlake Academy has also received recognition from the Association of School Business Officials
International as a recipient of the International Award for Budget Excellence for the past seven years.

type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Westlake (the Town) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate
discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the Town, as of September 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Maffers
Regarding Goinq Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the discretely presented
component units will continue as going concerns. As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the
discretely presented component units are in default on their bonds due to failure to meet certain bond
covenants. This gives bond holders the right to accelerate and demand payment on the bonds in full.
This condition raises substantial doubt about the discretely presented component units' ability to continue
as going concerns. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 17. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Change in Accountinq Principles
As discussed in Note 22 to the financial statements,in 2018,the Town adopted new accounting guidance,
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions. Beginning net position has been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle for
implementation of this Statement. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis on pages 10 through 20 and budgetary comparison information
and pension and OPEB schedules on pages 92 through 106 be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing
the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do
not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town's basic financial statements.The introductory section, combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules, and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and
were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion,the combining and individual fund statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The Honorable Mayor
and Members of Town Council
Town of Westlake,Texas
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 19,
2019 on our consideration of the Town's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters.The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town's internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Management of the Town of Westlake offers the readers of the Town's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities and financial position of the Town for the fiscal year ended
September 30,2018. Financial reporting is limited in its ability to provide the"big picture" but rather focuses
on financial position and changes in financial position. In other words, are revenues and/or expenditures
higher or lower than the previous year? Has the net position (containing both short- term and long-term
assets and liabilities) or fund balances (the current "spendable" assets less current liabilities) of the
government been maintained? Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with the additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal (pages iii-ix of this report)
and the statistical section (pages 122 - 140 of this report) as well as information in the annual operating
budget, along with other community information found on the Town's website at www.westlake-tx.org.
It should be noted that the Independent Auditor's Report describes the auditors' association with the
various sections of this report and that all the additional information from the website and other Town
sources are unaudited.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Town exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $55,752,321 (Net position). This
number must be viewed within the context that the vast majority of the Town's net position of
$52,922,640 (95.0%) is its investment in capital assets and that most capital assets in a government
entity do not directly generate revenue nor can they be sold to generate liquid capital. The net
position restricted for specific purposes totaled $1,077,646 (2%).The remaining amount,$1,752,035
(3%), represents unrestricted net position.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of Westlake's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of$20,038,393,which is a decrease of$7,769,725 in comparison
with the prior year.Within this total, $9,545,013 is non-spendable,restricted, committed or assigned
by management or council.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund was $10,796,248 a
decrease of $141,244 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total fund balance, $10,493,380 is
unassigned. This represents 136% of the total general fund expenditures and is equivalent to 428
operating days.
• The Town's capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) increased by $6,630,735. This is due
in large part to an increase of $7,510,981 in construction in progress accounts. This increase is
primarily due to the infrastructure construction expenditures related to the Public Improvement
District (PID) and the Fire/EMS Complex.
• The Town's long-term debt decreased by $1,810,692 in total, due to the scheduled repayment of
principal on outstanding bonded debt.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial statements.
The Town's basic financial statements are comprised of the following three components:
1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
10
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The government-wide financial
statements are prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting.
The statement of net position presents information on all the Town's assets and deferred outflows of
resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between the two reported
as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net position serves as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of the Town is improving or weakening.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All the revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally
supported by sales taxes, property taxes, and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general government,
public safety, culture and recreation, economic development, public works, visitor services and
education.The business-type activities of the Town include water/sewer and cemetery.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town (known as the primary government),
but also discretely presented component units including all the Texas Student Housing entities. Financial
information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for
the primary government itself. In addition, the Town has the following blended component units: Lone
Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, and Westlake Academy, an
open enrollment charter school owned and operated by the Town of Westlake.See pages 42-43 of the
"Financial Section" for detail on these entities.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Below
are the three types of funds.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as government activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, the reader may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
11
The Town maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the General, Westlake Academy, Debt Service, Capital Projects, and
Solana PID Capital Projects funds, all of which are presented as major funds. Data from the other funds
(Visitors Association, Economic Development, Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation, Public Arts
Contribution, Westlake Academy Expansion Capital Projects and Westlake 4B Economic Development
Corporation Funds) are combined into a single, aggregate presentation. Individual fund data for each
of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds, except the Capital Projects, Solana PID
Capital Project, Public Arts Contribution, and Westlake Academy Expansion funds which are project-
length based budgets. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all appropriate funds
to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 27 - 33 of this report.
Proprietary funds - There are two types of proprietary funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
An Enterprise Fund is the only proprietary fund currently maintained by the Town. Enterprise funds are used
to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements.The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activities and its cemetery
activities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in this fund, including
administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, billing and collection. The
Town's intent is that the costs of providing the services to the general public on a continuing basis is
financed through user based charges in a manner similar to a private enterprise.The Town has no Internal
Service Funds (fund to report activities that provide supplies and services for the Town's other programs
and activities, i.e. self-insurance and fleet management).
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 34- 36 on this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because
the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs.The accounting used
for fiduciary funds is similar to the accounting used for proprietary funds. The Town of Westlake maintains
one fiduciary fund, the PID Agency (Debt Service) Fund.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.The notes to
the financial statements can be found on pages 42- 89 of this report.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents schedules that further support the information in the financial statements.
The schedules are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements and can be
found on pages 92- 106.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the government's financial
position. In the case of the Town, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows
by$55,752,321 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The Town's combined net position changed from a year ago, decreasing $4,132,985, inclusive of the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, from $59,885,306 to $55,752,321. Our analysis
below focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the Town's
governmental and business-type activities.
The largest portion of the Town's net position, $52,922,640 (95.0%), reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g.land,buildings,equipment,improvements,construction in progress,and infrastructure),less any debt
used to acquire capital assets still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens;consequently,these assets are not available for future spending.Although the Town's investment
in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town's net position, $1,077,646 (1.9%), represents resources that are subject
to external or internal restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $1,752,035 (3.1%)
represents unrestricted net position which is available for the Town's ongoing expenses.

Governmental activities: Exclusive of the cumulative effect of implementation of GASB Statement No. 75,
Governmental activities increased the Town's net position by $1,608,166 (8%). Unrestricted net position,
the part of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established
by debt covenants, enabling legislation, other legal requirements, and/or Council or management's
decision, decreased by$3,075,798.
Total revenues for governmental activities decreased by $3,768,71 1 when compared to the prior year.
General revenue had an increase of$1,569,301, while program revenues had a decrease of$5,338,012.
Program revenues
• Fees, fines and charges for services decreased $1,275,189.The permit and review fees
received from Charles Schwab & Co. in the prior year were the major contributor to this
decrease from prior year.
• Operating Grants and Contributions decreased by$1,002,516 mostly due recording the State's
on-behalf portion of the Academy's OPEB expense which, in turn, decreased both operating
grants and contributions and expenses.
• Capital Grants and Contributions decreased by $3,060,307 with the major portion being
attributed to the donation of land for the Fire/EMS station received in the prior year and
revenues restricted for the benefit of Westlake Academy based on economic development
agreements.
General revenues
• Interest on Investments increased by$173,981 due to higher interest rates.
• Sales tax increased by$1,352,861 primarily due to an economic development situs agreement
in addition to an increase of$52,890 in property tax.
• Hotel occupancy taxes increased by $97,566. Most of the increase (62%) is for Marriott Hotel
occupancy tax at $60,754 and a 37% increase of $36,465 for Deloitte hotel occupancy tax.
There have been several new hotels in the area that are competing with the Marriott. Their
increase is due to efforts being made to retain and attract additional meetings and tourist
stays.
• Franchise fees decreased by$38,917 primarily due to less receipts from AT&T and Verizon.
Expenses
• Total expenses for governmental activities decreased by$2,475,252 or approximately 12%.
• General Government expenditures reflected a 16%decrease of$940K; a decrease in pension
expense is the primary reason.
• Education expenditures decreased by 23% ($2M) which was primarily due to a decrease in
pension and OPEB expenses for the Teachers Retirement Plan.
15
Business-type Activities:The net position of our business-type activities ended fiscal year 2018 at$607,378
compared with $1,836,874 in 2018.This represents a decrease in net position of$1,229,496,or 67%less than
the prior fiscal year, inclusive of the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.
Revenues (Charges for Services) for business-type activities for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018
were $5,824,258; an increase of $998,659 or 21%. Operating expenses for the business-type activities for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 were$7,059,700; an increase of$2,158,604 or 44%.This increase
was primarily attributed to a higher cost for wastewater treatment and water purchases.
Financial Analysis of the Town's Funds
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's
financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a town's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $20,038,393; a decrease of $7,769,725 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 52%
of this total ($10,493,380) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the
government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is non-spendable, restricted, committed or
assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed.
The following tables present a summary of general, special revenue, capital project, and debt service
fund revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, and the amount and
percentage of increases and decreases in relation to the prior year.

to service expenditures increasing $316K which included PID local costs, consultant and attorney fees,
contracted services for Westlake Academy,the Fire Station complex, and the Keller Police contract. Rent
and utility costs increased $209K for right of way (ROW) irrigation in the public works department. Project
maintenance and replacements costs increased $96K of which the majority is for the purpose of a 77-
passenger bus for Westlake Academy
The General Fund actual revenue collections/other sources were more than the amended budget by
$198K primarily due to an increase in sales taxes in the FYI 7-18. Actual expenditure costs/other uses were
less than the amended budget by$679K due mostly to less than anticipated service expenditures.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets
In the FY 2018-2019 adopted budget, the General Fund balance is anticipated to increase by $1.1 M.
Adopted revenues and transfers in are budgeted to be more than the 2018 actuals by $32.6 (27%)
primarily due to large one-time building fees and permits anticipated ($2.4M) as well as additional
property tax revenue ($404K).
Anticipated expenditures and transfers out are budgeted to be $1.53M (15%) more than the prior year.
Payroll increases were approximately $500K (market adjustments, additional employees and staffing
changes,increased insurance and benefits.Maintenance and Replacement projects increased by$51 OK
due to anticipated expenditure of (1) upgrades for network storage and equipment, phone system,
peripheral devices, and network services (2) maintenance and replacement to Westlake Academy
(parking lot,flooring, classroom refurbishments,etc.), and (3) one-time repairs for the reserve ambulance.
As stated in the Transmittal Letter, the Town's budget continues to be impacted by encouraging
economic signs. Growth in Westlake, along the SH 114 corridor and with the progress of our new mixed-
use development, Entrada, should continue to increase the commercial revenue sources. Additionally,
increases are expected in residential-related revenues due to new housing developments.

Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
to the Statement of Net Position
September 30, 2018
Total fund balance-governmental funds balance sheet $ 20,038,393
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position
are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources
and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. 75,098,124
Deferred losses on refunding are reported as deferred outflows of resources
in the government-wide statement of net position. 898,496
Revenues earned but not available within sixty days of the fiscal year-end are not
recognized as revenue in the fund financial statements. 7,931
Deferred outflows of resources related to the Town's TMRS pension liability
and OPEB liability increased net position by$568,794 and 8,041,respectively;
while the Town's TMRS deferred resource inflows related to the pension
liability decreases net position by$236,577.This amount is the net effect. 340,258
Deferred outflows of resources related to the Academy's TRS pension liability
and OPEB liability increase net position by$509,509 and$46,603,respectively;
while the Academy's TRS deferred resource inflows related to the pension
liability and OPEB liability decreased net position by$137,845 and$1,070,148,
respectively.This amount is the net effect. (651,881)
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources,therefore
interest payable is not reported as a liability in the governmental funds balance sheet. (146,995)
Long-term liabilities,including bonds payable,are not due and payable in the current
period,and therefore are not reported in the fund financial statements. (40,439,383)

Town of Westlake Exhibit A-6
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the
Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2018
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds. $ (7,769,725)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.However,in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation expense. 8,756,155
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the statement of activities but does not
require the use of current financial resources.Therefore,depreciation expense is not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (1,598,311)
The repayment of the principal of long term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds,but has no effect on net position.The amortization of bond premiums
and deferred gain/loss on refunding of long term debt is reported in the statement of
activities but does not require the use of current financial resources.Therefore,the
effect of the amortization of these various items are not reported in the statement of
revenues,expenditures,and changes in fund balance.
This amount represents the net effect of the following items:
Repayments 1,555,677
Amortization of deferred loss on refunding (108,507)
Amortization of premium on bonds 99,812 1,546,982
Current year changes in accrued interest payable does not require the use of current
financial resources;and therefore,are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 6,556
Implementation of GAS 68 and 75 requires certain expenditures to be de-expended and recorded as
deferred outflows of resources.The changes in deferred outflows from pension and OPEB activity for
TMRS decreased net position by$197,820 and increased net position by$4,185,respectively.The
changes of net pension liability increased net position by$368,890.The changes in OPEB liability
decreased net position by$15,683.The changes in deferred inflows of resources from pension
activty for TMRS decreased net position by$236,577.This amount is the net effect. (77,005)
Implementation of GAS 68 and 75 also affected the Academy.Pension and OPEB contributions made to TRS
after the measurement date caused the change in net position to increase by$91,593 and$46,603,
respectively.Pension and OPEB contributions made before the measurement period caused a decrease in the
change in net position of$84,783 and$36,022,respectively.The net share of the Academy's amount of deferred
inflows and outflows of resources decreased the change in net position by$90,778 and increased the change in
net position by$888,1 12 for pension and OPEB,respectively.This amount is the net effect. 814,725
Current year changes in the long-term liability for compensated absences do not require
the use of current financial resources;and therefore,are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. (74,155)
Certain revenues in the government-wide statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenue in the governmental funds. 2,944

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Town of Westlake, Texas (the Town) was incorporated under the provisions of the laws of the State of
Texas on December 26, 1956. The Town operates under a Council - Manager form of government and
provides the following services as authorized by the laws of the State of Texas: public safety, cultural and
recreation; and economic development.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Town conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for local governments.Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
for local governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB).The following is a summary of the more significant accounting and reporting policies:
Financial Reporting Entity
The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for
which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although
legally separate entities, are,in substance, part of the Town's operations and are appropriately presented
as funds of the primary government. Discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are
reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize it is legally
separate from the Town.
Based on these criteria,the financial information of the following entities have been blended or discretely
presented within the financial statements: Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic
Development Corporation, Westlake Academy, Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing
Corporation-College Station Project and Texas Student Housing Corporation - Denton Project.
The Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Authority-Jefferson Commons at Town Lake
Project, Texas Student Housing Corporation - College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing
Corporation - Denton Project (collectively, Texas Student Housing Entities) are Texas nonprofit
organizations as a duly constituted authority of the Town pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the Texas
Education Code, as amended (Act).Texas Student Housing Entities' primary purpose is to construct, own,
and operate student housing facilities on college campuses in Texas.The board consists of seven directors
which are appointed by the Town's governing body and has the ability to remove at will the appointed
members; thus, the governing body can impose its will on the organizations. However, the board is not
substantively the same as the Town's governing body; therefore, the Texas Student Housing Entities are
reported as discretely presented component units (enterprise funds). The Town is not responsible for the
long-term debt of the Texas Student Housing Entities. The Texas Student Housing Entities' year-end is
August 31.

Blended
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the Town to
further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as its duly constituted authority
and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing body, is comprised of
seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing body. Since the board of
directors is substantively the same as the Town's governing body,and a financial benefit relationship exists,
the entity has been reported as a blended component unit of the Town.
4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the
Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town and
the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote and
encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing,
implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B of
the Act. The board of directors is composed of seven persons appointed by the members of the Town's
governing board. Four of the members of the board of directors are members of the Town's governing
board. Since the board of directors is substantively the same as the Town's governing body, and a
financial benefit relationship exists, the entity has been reported as a blended component unit of the
Town.
Westlake Academy (Academy) is an open-enrollment charter school, as provided by Subchapter D,
Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake (Charter Holder) applied for and
became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special charter designation. The board consists
of six trustees and is appointed by the Town's governing body. Currently, all the members of the board of
trustees are members of the Town's governing body.Since the board of directors is substantively the same
as the Town's governing body, and a financial benefit relationship exists, the entity has been reported as
a blended component unit of the Town. The Academy's year-end is August 31.
Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the Town. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the
primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the
primary government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual Governmental Funds and major individual Enterprise Funds are reported as separate columns
in the fund financial statements.

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
Town considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received by the Town.
The Town uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is
designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating
transactions related to certain government functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity
with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the Town are financed.
The acquisition, use, and balances of the Town's expendable financial resources and the related liabilities
(except those accounted for in the proprietary fund type) are accounted for through governmental
funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of changes in financial position, rather than upon
income determination.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund. The General Fund balance is available for any purpose, provided it is expended or
transferred in accordance with the legally adopted budget of the Town. The General Fund includes the
Town's Major Maintenance and Replacement Fund, Vehicle Replacement Fund, and PID (local) Fund.
Westlake Academy Fund - to account for all local, state and federal revenue and related educational
expenditures of the Academy.
Debt Service Fund-to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest
on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
Capital Protects Fund- to account for proceeds from long-term financing and revenue and expenditures
related to authorized construction and other capital asset acquisitions other than those related to the
expansion of Westlake Academy facilities.
44
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Solana Public Improvement District (PID) Capital Projects Fund - to account for the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and improvements relating to the Solana public improvement district.
In addition, the Town reports the following nonmajor governmental funds:
Visitors Association Fund - to account for municipal hotel occupancy taxes collected and expenditures
to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry.
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation- to account for investment activity relating to the Lone Star Public
Facilities Corporation.
4B Economic Development Corporation -to account for sales tax collected to fund the activities of the
4B Economic Development Corporation.
Economic Development Fund - to account for sales tax and hotel occupancy tax collected to fund
activity relating to Economic Development agreements.
Public Arts Contribution Fund-to account for contributions restricted for public art.
Westlake Academy Expansion Capital Projects Fund-to account for proceeds from long-term financing
and revenue and expenditures related to authorized construction related to the expansion of Westlake
Academy facilities.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental funds except capital projects,
Solana PID capital projects, and Westlake Academy Expansion funds, which are project-length based
budgets. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for all appropriate funds to demonstrate
compliance with the budget.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the Town's Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the
Enterprise Fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenue and expenses.
The Town reports the following major proprietary funds:
Utility Fund-to account for revenues and expenses related to providing water and sewer services to the
general public on a continuing basis.
Cemetery Fund- to account for the operations of the Town's cemetery.
The Town reports the following fiduciary fund:
Solana PID Agency Fund-to account for bond proceeds,assessments, and related debt associated with
bonds issued by the Town as an agent for the Solana public improvement district.
As a general rule,the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's water and wastewater
function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the
direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
45
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customer or applicants for goods,services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and investments of all funds, including restricted cash, are available upon demand and are
considered to be"cash equivalents."
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers highly-liquid investments (including
restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
State statutes authorize the Town to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the
principal of, and interest on,which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the
United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any
state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and
having received a rating of not less than"A"or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state or national
banks domiciled in this state that are (a) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or its successor; or, (b) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or (6) fully
collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations
described by (1) pledged with third-party selected or (2) approved by the Town, and placed through a
primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market
prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties.
Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as"due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
government-wide financial statements as"internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by nonspendable fund
balance in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and
are not expendable available financial resources.
The Town's property taxes are levied on October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1
for all real and business personal property located in the Town. Assessed values are established at 100%
of estimated market value. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1.
Taxes are due by January 31 following the October 1 levy date and are considered delinquent after
January 31 of each year.
All property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The net property tax
receivable allowance is equal to management's estimate of uncollectible outstanding property taxes at
September 30, 2018.
46
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Restricted Assets
Certain bond proceeds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as
restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories, which are expended as they are consumed, are stated at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Fund Changes and Transactions between Funds
Legally authorized transfers are treated as transfers in and out and are included as other financing sources
(uses) of both governmental and proprietary funds.
The Town allocates an indirect cost percentage of the salaries,wages and related costs of personnel who
perform administrative services as well as other indirect costs necessary for the operation of various funds.
Expenses are budgeted and paid from the appropriate fund.
Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not
available.The cost of nominal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Donated assets are valued at their acquisition value on the date
donated. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and three years or more of life. All
infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), regardless of the acquisition date
or amount, have been included. Estimated historical cost for initial reporting of infrastructure assets (those
reported by governmental activities) was valued by estimating the current replacement cost of the
infrastructure and using an index to deflate the cost to the estimated acquisition/construction year. As
the Town constructs or acquires additional capital assets, including infrastructure assets, they are
capitalized and reported at historical cost.
Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets Years
Water and sewer system 10-50
Buildings 20-50
Machinery and equipment 3-30
Improvements 5-30
Information systems and software 3

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Compensated Absences
The Town's policy allows employees to earn 5 days of vacation and 5 days of sick leave between six
months and one year of service, and 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick leave between one year
and two years of service and each successive year through five years of service. After completion of 5
years of service, 15 days of vacation and 15 days of sick leave per year are earned. After completion of
10 years of service, 20 days of vacation and 20 days of sick leave per year are earned. The Town makes
sick and vacation time available in full at the beginning of each year, and hours are actually earned
throughout the year. Unused, earned vacation hours are paid upon termination or retirement at the
employee's normal hourly rate; accumulated, unused sick time is only payable upon retirement, death of
the employee, or other circumstances when authorized by the Town Manager.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs during the current period.The face amount of the debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other
financing sources while discounts are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld
from the actual proceeds, are reported as expenditures.
Fund Equity and Net Position
The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that
comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the Town is bound to honor constraints
on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent.
The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:
Nonspendable:This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not
in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable
items are not expected to be converted to cash or are not expected to be converted to cash within the
next year.
Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been placed on the use of the
resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments, or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by board resolution of the Town council, the Town's highest level of decision making
authority. These amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Town council removes or
changes the specified use by taking the same type of action that was employed when the funds were
initially committed. This classification also includes contractual obligations to the extent that existing
resources have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
Assicined: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the Town's intent to be used for a
specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. In the General Fund, assigned amounts
represent intended uses established by the Town Council or the Town Finance Director who has been
delegated that authority.
48
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General Fund. The unassigned
classification also includes negative residual fund balance of any other governmental fund that cannot
be eliminated by offsetting of assigned fund balance amounts.
In the government-wide financial statements, net position represents the difference between assets and
liabilities. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or
improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net position is reported as restricted
when there are limitations imposed on its use either though the enabling legislations adopted by the Town
or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
The government-wide and fund level financial statements report restricted fund balances for amounts
not available for appropriation or legally restricted for specific uses. When an expenditure is incurred for
purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, it is the Town's policy to use
restricted resources first,then unrestricted resources as needed.When an expenditure is incurred for which
committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the Town considers amounts to have
been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
Pensions and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net pension/OPEB and total OPEB liabilities, pension and OPEB related
deferred outflows and inflows of resources and pension and OPEB expense, the Town's specific
information about its Fiduciary Net Position in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and Teachers
Retirement System (TRS) and additions to/deductions from the Town's Fiduciary Net Position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS and TRS. For this purpose, plan contributions
are recognized in the period that compensation is reported for the employee,which is when contributions
are legally due. Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance
with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For TMRS, information regarding the Town's Total Pension Liability and Total OPEB Liability is obtained from
TMRS through reports prepared for the Town by TMRS consulting actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith &
Company, in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
For TRS, information regarding the Town's Total Pension Liability and Total OPEB Liability is obtained from
TRS which is a cost-sharing multi-employer defined benefit plan. Reports prepared are in compliance with
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources on the Statement of Net Position and Governmental
Fund Balance Sheet.This separate financial statement element,deferred outflows of resources,represents
a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Town has the following items that qualify for reporting
in this category:
Deferred Outflow from Loss on Refunding —these deferred outflows reported at the net
position result from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition
price.This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or
refunding debt.
49
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred Outflow/Inflows from Pensions/OPEB - these deferred outflows/inflows reported on
the Statement of Net Position result from pension/OPEB contributions after the measurement date
(deferred and recognized as a reduction of the related liability in the following fiscal year) and/or
differences in projected and actual earnings on pension/OPEB assets (deferred and amortized
over a closed five-year period).
Deferred Outflow/Inflows from Contributions — these deferred outflows/inflows result from
contributions made or received before time requirement is met. The deferred outflows/inflows
from contributions are eliminated at the Statement of Activities and Net Position.
Deferred Inflows from Unavailable Resources—these deferred inflows result from property tax
receivables not being collected within 60 days of year end.The deferred inflows from unavailable
resources are recorded as revenues on the Statement of Activities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements,in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could
differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events
The Town has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2018 up through
March 19, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued.
Note 2. Cash and Investments
Legal provisions generally permit the Town to invest in certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements,
public funds investment pools, direct obligations of the United States of America or its subdivisions and
state and local government securities.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the
areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among
other things, it requires the Town to adopt, implement, and publicize its investment policy.
That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio
diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return,
(6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted
maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and
capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes
in market interest rates. In order to limit interest and market rate risk from changes in interest rates, the
Town's investment policy sets a maximum stated maturity limit of two years for obligations of the United
States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (excluding mortgage backed securities) and one
year for fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit. No more than 80% of the Town's monthly
average balance may be invested in money market funds.Additionally,the Town invests in an investment
pool that purchases a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of 28 days thus
reducing the interest rate risk. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town's investments
to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the
Town's Investments.
As of September 30, 2018, the Town's investments were as follows:

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

Total $ 2,271,403 $ 2,271,403
Disclosures Relating to Concentration of Credit Risk
The Town's investment policy is to avoid a concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issue,
or a specific class of investments.
Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that,in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution,
a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party.The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the
event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the
value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds
Investment Act does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial
credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds
Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental
units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state
law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less the FDIC insurance at all times.
The Town requires all deposits to be covered by Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insurance and/or collateralized by qualified securities pledged by the Town's depository in the Town's
name and held by the depository's agent.
As of September 30, 2018, the Town's entire cash deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal
depository insurance were fully collateralized.
The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application,
provides a framework for measuring fair value which establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that
describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities.
53
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that a
government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs -other than quoted prices included within Level 1 -that are observable for
an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
If a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, a government should measure fair value using
another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs. If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than
one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Town has recurring fair value measurements as presented in the table below. The Town's investment
balances and weighted average maturity of such investments are as follows:

Total Value $ 2,271,403 $ 2,271,202 $ $
Mutual funds reported as Level 1 consist of shares of a money market funds government portfolio and are
valued at net asset value (NAV) of the assets held by the Town. The NAV is a quoted price in an active
market.
Investment in State Investment Pools
On September 1, 1989, local government investment pools became authorized investments for the
majority of public entities in Texas. The Interlocal Cooperation Act was amended by the 715' Texas
Legislature to facilitate the creation of local government investment pools in Texas. This act permits the
creation of investment pools to which a majority of political subdivisions (local governments) may
delegate, by contract, the authority to make investments purchased with local investment funds and to
hold legal title as custodian of the investments. TexPool was organized to conform with the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act,
Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code.
54
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Town had investments with TexPool. TexPool, a public
funds investment pool created by the Treasurer of the State of Texas acting by and through the Texas
Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, which is empowered to invest funds and acts as custodian of
investments purchased with local investment funds.These investments are not required to be categorized
because the investor is not issued securities, but rather it owns an undivided beneficial interest in the assets
of the respective funds.The fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

Capital Leases
The Westlake Academy has entered into lease agreements as lessee for financing the acquisition of
computer equipment and software. The lease agreements qualify as capital leases for accounting
purposes, and therefore, have been recorded at the present value of its future minimum lease payments
as of the inception date.
Equipment and software with a historical cost of $730,049 was under capital lease at August 31, 2018.
Because the cost of the individual items was below the Town's capitalization threshold, the entire cost
was recorded as expense during the year ended August 31, 2018.

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

bonds in an irrevocable trust account to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds.
Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the
government's financial statements. At September 30, 2018, there were no prior year defeased bonds
outstanding.
Compensated Absences
Although compensated absences are liquidated by the fund to which they relate, the significant portion
of the governmental activities compensated absences has typically been liquidated by the general fund.

Westlake and Texas Student Housing Authority. Interest rates on the bonds range from 5.00% to 11.00%
and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1 of each year thereafter.

required principal payments on the Series B bonds had not been made as of August 31, 2018. Upon
certain events of default either the trustee, or owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal of the

Total $ 28,205,000 $ 42,731,469 $ 70,936,469
Class C and D bonds are in default and the property does not generate enough revenue to pay the debt
obligations. All of the Class C and D bonds issued remain outstanding as of August 31, 2018.
Each class has certain rights and privileges, as contained in the private placement memorandum. As a
part of the offering, the Project entered into a trust agreement with J. P.Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (the
Trustee) for the purpose of determining that each class is paid in accordance with the private placement
memorandum.
At August 31, 2018, the Project was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result,
the lender may accelerate the maturity of the unpaid portion of the principal payable under the
installment sale agreement. However, the Authority does not anticipate this event will occur, since
foreclosure by private interests would result in the loss of tax-exempt status for the Project.
The Town of Westlake does not have any liability for the payment of debt of the discretely presented
component units as the bonds are non-recourse to both the Town and Texas Student Housing Authority.
Note 6. Unearned Revenue / Deferred Inflows of Resources

on twelve Ductbank leases as follows: three leases with AT&T local network services ranging from 5 - 30
years; six leases with Verizon Southwest ranging from 5-30 years; one five-year lease with MCI Metro; one
five-year lease with L3 Communications for use of the Town's Ductbank; and one five-year lease with
Charter.
Governmental funds report deferred inflows of resources in connection with receivables for revenue that
is not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. At the end of the current
fiscal year, deferred inflows of resources reported in the governmental funds consist of$6,890 and $1,041
of unavailable property taxes in the general fund and debt service fund, respectively, as well as$323,439
of unavailable contributions in the Westlake Academy fund.The unavailable contribution is from the Town
(general fund) with a time constraint to be used for fiscal year 2019. Accordingly, a deferred outflow of
resources has been recorded in the general fund in the same amount.

Note 11. Defined Benefit Pension Plan - TMRS
Plan Description
The Town participates as one of 866 plans in the nontraditional,joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit
pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS).TMRS is an agency created
by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas
Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple-employer retirement system for municipal
employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of
the System with a six-member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's defined
benefit pension plan is a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMRS
issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that can be obtained at
www.tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the Town are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the Town, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and
the Town-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may
choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven payments options. Members may also choose
to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36
monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.

Employees Covered By Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2017 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees of beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 1 1
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 22
Active employees 41
74
Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7%of employee gross earnings, and the
Town matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of
the Town. Under the state law governing TMRS,the contribution rate for each Town is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method.The actuarially determined rate
is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year,
with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the Town were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal
year. The contribution rates for the Town were 12.05% and 12.84% in calendar years 2017 and 2018,
respectively. The Town's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2018, were $454,421,
and were equal to the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The Town's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2017, and the Total Pension
Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
that date.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
• Inflation 2.5% per year
• Overall payroll growth 3.0% per year
• Investment Rate of Return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and
beneficiaries were based on the gender-distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table, with male
rates multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103%. The rates are projected on a fully
generational basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the
gender-distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment are used with
males rates multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103% with a 3-year set-forward for both
males and females. In addition, a 3% minimum mortality rate is applied to reflect the impairment for
younger members who become disabled. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale
BB to account for future mortality improvements subject to the 3%floor.
68
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2017, valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The experience study in TMRS was for the period December 31, 2010 through
December 31, 2014. Healthy post-retirement mortality rates and annuity purchase rates were updated
based on a Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011, and dated
December 31, 2013. These assumptions were first used in the December 31, 2013 valuation, along with a
change to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. Assumptions are reviewed annually. No
additional changes were made for the 2014 valuation. After the Asset Allocation Study analysis and
experience investigation study, the Board amended the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments from 7% to 6.75%. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on
both capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-
term funding needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.These ranges
are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real
rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. In
determining their best estimate of a recommended investment return assumption under the various
alternative asset allocation portfolios,GRS focused on the area between (1) arithmetic mean (aggressive)
without an adjustment for time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean (conservative) with an
adjustment for time (aggressive).At its meeting on July 30,2015,the TMRS Board approved a new portfolio
target allocation.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected Real
Asset Class Target Allocation Rate of Return (Arithmetic)
Domestic Equity 17.5% 4.55%
International Equity 17.5% 6.35%
Core Fixed Income 10.0% 1.00%
Non-Core Fixed Income 20.0% 4.15%
Real Return 10.0% 4.15%
Real Estate 10.0% 4.75%
Absolute Return 10.0% 4.00%
Private Equity 5.0% 7.75%
Total 100.0%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%.The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the
rates specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plan's Fiduciary Net Position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive
employees.Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to
all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

Note 12. Defined Benefit Pension Plan -TRS
Plan Description
The Academy participates in a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension that has a special
funding situation. The plan is administered by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS). TRS's defined
benefit pension plan is established and administered in accordance with the Texas Constitution, Article
XVI,Section 67 and Texas Government Code,Title 8,Subtitle C.The pension trust fund is a qualified pension
trust under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Texas Legislature establishes benefits and
contribution rates within the guidelines of the Texas Constitution.The pension's Board of Trustees does not
have the authority to establish or amend benefit terms.
All employees of public, state-supported educational institutions in Texas who are employed for one-half
or more of the standard work load and who are not exempted from membership under Texas
Government Code,Title 8, Section 822.002 are covered by the system.
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the Teacher Retirement System's fiduciary net position is available in a
separately issued Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that includes financial statements
and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained on the Internet at
http://www.trs.state.tx.us/about/documents/cafr.pdf#CAFR; by writing to TRS at 1000 Red River Street,
Austin, TX, 78701-2698; or by calling (512) 542-6592.
Benefits Provided
TRS provides service and disability retirement, as well as death and survivor benefits, to eligible employees
(and their beneficiaries) of public and higher education in Texas.The pension formula is calculated using
2.3 percent (multiplier) times the average of the five highest annual creditable salaries times years of
credited service to arrive at the annual standard annuity except for members who are grandfathered,
the three highest annual salaries are used. The normal service retirement is at age 65 with five years of
credited service or when the sum of the member's age and years of credited service equals 80 or more
years.
Early retirement is at age 55 with five years of service credit or earlier than 55 with 30 years of service
credit. There are additional provisions for early retirement if the sum of the member's age and years of
service credit total at least 80, but the member is less than age 60 or 62 depending on date of
employment, or if the member was grandfathered in under a previous rule. There are no automatic post-
employment benefit changes; including automatic COLAs. Ad hoc post-employment benefit changes,
including ad hoc COLAs can be granted by the Texas Legislature as noted in the Plan description above.
Contributions
Contribution requirements are established or amended pursuant to Article 16, section 67 of the Texas
Constitution which requires the Texas legislature to establish a member contribution rate of not less than
6%of the member's annual compensation and a state contribution rate of not less than 6%and not more
than 10% of the aggregate annual compensation paid to members of the system during the fiscal year.
Texas Government Code section 821.006 prohibits benefit improvements, if as a result of the particular
action, the time required to amortize TRS' unfunded actuarial liabilities would be increased to a period
that exceeds 31 years, or, if the amortization period already exceeds 31 years, the period would be
increased by such action.

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Employee contribution rates are set in state statute, Texas Government Code 825.402. Senate Bill 1458 of
the 83rd Texas Legislature amended Texas Government Code 825.402 for member contributions and
established employee contribution rates for fiscal years 2015 thru 2016.The 84th Texas Legislature, General
Appropriations Act (GAA) established the employer contribution rates for fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
Contribution rates 2017 2018

2018 Employer contributions $ 91,593
2018 Member contributions $ 407,324
2017 NECE on-behalf contributions $ 355,959
Contributors to the plan include members, employers and the State of Texas as the only non-employer
contributing entity. The State is the employer for senior colleges, medical schools and state agencies
including TRS. In each respective role, the State contributes to the plan in accordance with state statutes
and the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
As the non-employer contributing entity for public education and junior colleges, the State of Texas
contributes to the retirement system an amount equal to the current employer contribution rate times the
aggregate annual compensation of all participating members of the pension trust fund during that fiscal
year reduced by the amounts described below which are paid by the employers. Employers (public
school, junior college, other entities or the State of Texas as the employer for senior universities and
medical schools) are required to pay the employer contribution rate in the following instances:
• On the portion of the member's salary that exceeds the statutory minimum for members entitled
to the statutory minimum under Section 21.402 of the Texas Education Code.
• During a new member's first 90 days of employment.
• When any part or all of an employee's salary is paid by federal funding sources, a privately
sponsored source, from non-educational and general, or local funds.
• When the employing district is a public junior college or junior college district, the employer shall
contribute to the retirement system an amount equal to 50% of the state contribution rate for
certain instructional or administrative employees; and 100% of the state contribution rate for all
other employees.
In addition to the employer contributions listed above, there are two additional surcharges an employer
is subject to:
• When employing a retiree of the Teacher Retirement System the employer shall pay both the
member contribution and the state contribution as an employment after retirement surcharge
• When a school district or charter school does not contribute to the Federal Old-Age,Survivors and
Disability Insurance (OASDI) Program for certain employees,they must contribute 1.5%of the state
contribution rate for certain instructional or administrative employees; and 100% of the state
contribution rate for all other employees.

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the August 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Valuation Date August 31, 2017
Actuarial Cost Method Individual Entry Age Normal
Asset Valuation Method Market Value
Single Discount Rate 8.00%
Long-term expected Investment Rate of Return* 8.00%
Inflation 2.50%
Salary Increases including inflation 3.50%to 9.50%
Payroll Growth Rate 2.50%
Benefit Changes during the year None
Ad hoc post-employment benefit changes None
The actuarial methods and assumptions are primarily based on a study of actual experience for the
four-year period ending August 31, 2014 and adopted on September 24, 2015.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 8.0%. There was no change in the
discount rate since the previous year. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate
assumed that contributions from plan members and those of the contributing employers and the non-
employer contributing entity are made at the statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, the
pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all future benefit payments
of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods
of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The long-term rate of return on
pension plan investments is 8%. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was
determined using a building-block method in which best-estimates ranges of expected future real rates
of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class.These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by
weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by
adding expected inflation.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions
At August 31, 2017, the Academy reported a liability of $895,663 for its proportionate share of the TRS's
net pension liability. This liability reflects a reduction for State pension support provided to the Academy.
The amount recognized by the Academy as its proportionate share of the net pension liability,the related
State support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the Academy
were as follows:
Academy's proportionate share of the collective net pension liability $ 895,663
State's proportionate share that is associated with Academy 3,480,057
$ 4,375,720
The net pension liability was measured as of August 31, 2017 and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The
employer's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the employer's contributions to the
pension plan relative to the contributions of all employers to the plan for the period September 1, 2016
thru August 31, 2017.
At August 31, 2017, the employer's proportion of the collective net pension liability was 0.0028012%which
was an increase of 0.000019%from its proportion measured as of August 31, 2016.
Changes since the Prior Actuarial Valuation
There were no changes to the actuarial assumptions or other inputs that affected measurement of the
total pension liability since the prior measurement period.
There were no changes of benefit terms that affected measurement of the total pension liability during

Note 13. Other Post-Employment Benefits -TMRS
Plan Description
Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS") administers a defined benefit group-term life insurance plan
known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund ("SDBF"). This is a voluntary program in which
participating member cities may elect, by ordinance, to provide group-term life insurance coverage for
their active members, including or not including retirees. Employers may terminate coverage under and
discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be
effective the following January 1. The Town has elected to participate in the SDBF for its active members
including retirees. As the SDBF covers both active and retiree participants, with no segregation of assets,
the SDBF is considered to be an unfunded single-employer OPEB plan (i.e. no assets are accumulated in
a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75) for Town reporting.
77
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Benefits Provided
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump-sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings,for the 12-month period
preceding the month of death). The death benefit for retirees is considered an other postemployment
benefit ("OPEB") and is a fixed amount of$7,500.
At the December 31, 2017 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 6
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 3
Active employees 41
50
Contributions
The member city contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The funding
policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit
payments for the upcoming year. The intent is not to pre-fund retiree term life insurance during
employees' entire careers.
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the
participating member city. The contractually required contribution rate is determined annually for each
Town. The rate is based on the mortality and service experience of all employees covered by the SDBF
and the demographics specific to the workforce of the city. There is a one-year delay between the
actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the employer contribution rate and the calendar year when
the rate goes into effect.The funding policy of this plan is to assure that adequate resources are available
to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year.
The retiree portion of contribution rates to the SDBF for the Town was 0.00% and 0.0 1% in calendar years
2017 and 2018.The Town's contributions to the SDBF for the year ended September 30, 2018 were $6,380,
and were equal to the required contributions.
Total OPEB Liability
The Town's Total OPEB Liability (TOL) was measured as of December 31, 2017 and was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date.

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5%per year
Salary increases 3.5%to 10.5%including inflation
Discount rate 3.31%
Retiree's share of benefit-related costs 0.00%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for service retirees were based on
the RP2000 Combined Mortality Table with Blue Collar Adjustment with male rates multiplied by 109%and
female rates multiplied by 103% and projected on a fully generational basis with scale BB. Mortality rates
for disabled retirees were based on the RP2000 Combined Mortality Table with Blue Collar Adjustment
with male rates multiplied by 109%and female rates multiplied by 103%with a 3-year set-forward for both
males and females. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis with scale BB to account for
future mortality improvements subject to the 3%floor.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2017, valuation were developed primarily from an
actuarial experience study of the four-year period from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2014.
They were adopted in 2015 and first used in the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation.The post-mortality
assumption for healthy annuitants and Annuity Purchase Rate (APRs) are based on the Mortality
Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011 and dated December 31,2013. In conjunction
with these changes first used in the December 31, 2013 valuation, TMRS adopted the Entry Age Normal
Actuarial Cost Method.
The discount rate used to measure the Total OPEB Liability was 3.31%and was based on the Fidelity Index's
"20-Year Municipal GO AA Index" rate as of December 31, 2017.

Note 14. Health Care Coverage
During the period ended August 31, 2018,employees of the Academy (a blended component unit of the
Town) who met minimum eligibility requirements were covered by a state-wide health care plan, TRS
Active Care. The Academy's participation in this plan is renewed annually. The Academy paid into the
Plan $351 per month per employee and $276 per month when the employee works less than 30 hours per
week if eligible to enroll in TRS Active Care. Employees, at their option, pay premiums for any coverage
above these amounts as well as for dependent coverage.

Contributions
Contribution rates for the TRS-Care plan are established in state statute by the Texas Legislature,and there
is no continuing obligation to provide benefits beyond each fiscal year. The TRS-Care plan is currently
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and is subject to change based on available funding. Funding for TRS-
Care is provided by retiree premium contributions and contributions from the state, active employees,
and Academy based upon Academy payroll. The TRS Board of trustees does not have the authority to
set or amend contribution rates.
Texas Insurance Code, Section 1575.202 establishes the state's contribution rate which is 1.0% of the
employee's salary. Section 1575.203 establishes the active employee's rate which is .65% of pay. Section
1575.204 establishes an employer contribution rate of not less than 0.25 percent or not more than
0.75 percent of the salary of each active employee of the public. The actual employer contribution rate
is prescribed by the Legislature in the General Appropriations Act.The following table shows contributions
to the TRS-Care plan by type of contributor.
2018 2017
Active employee 0.65% 0.65%
Non-employer contribution entity(state) 1.25% 1.00%
Employers/District 0.75% 0.55%
Federal/private funding remitted by Employer 1.25% 1.00%
The contribution amounts for the Academy's fiscal year 2018 are as follows:
2018 Employer contributions $ 46,204
2018 Member contributions $ 407,324
2018 NECE on-behalf contributions $ 52,680
In addition to the employer contributions listed above, there is an additional surcharge all TRS employers
are subject to (regardless of whether or not they participate in the TRS Care OPEB program). When
employers hire a TRS retiree,they are required to pay to TRS Care, a monthly surcharge of$535 per retiree.
TRS-Care received supplemental appropriations from the State of Texas as the Non-Employer Contributing
Entity in the amount of$15.6 million in fiscal year 2017 and $182.6 million in fiscal year 2018.

Other information-There was a significant plan change adopted in fiscal year ending August 31,2017.Effective
January 1, 2018, only one health plan option will be offered and all retirees will be required to contribute
monthly premiums for coverage. Assumption changes made for the August 31, 2017 valuation include a
change to the assumption regarding the phase-out of the Medicare Part D subsidies and a change to the
discount rate from 2.98%as of August 31,2016 to 3.42%as of August 31,2017.
Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 3.42% was used to measure the total OPEB liability. There was a change of
.44 percent in the discount rate since the previous year. Because the plan is essentially a
"pay-as-you-go" plan, the single discount rate is equal to the prevailing municipal bond rate. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from active
members and those of the contributing employers and the non-employer contributing entity are made
at the statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to not be able to make all future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the
municipal bond rate was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total
OPEB liability.

OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Related to OPEBs
At August 31, 2018, the Academy reported a liability of$2,558,314 for its proportionate share of the TRS's
Net OPEB Liability. This liability reflects a reduction for State OPEB support provided to the Academy. The
amount recognized by the Academy as its proportionate share of the net OPEB liability, the related State
support, and the total portion of the net OPEB liability that was associated with the Academy were as
follows:
Academy's proportionate share of the collective net pension liability $ 2,558,314
State's proportionate share that is associate with Academy 4,406,333
Total $ 6,964,647
The Net OPEB Liability was measured as of August 31, 2017 and the Total OPEB Liability used to calculate
the Net OPEB Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The employer's
proportion of the Net OPEB Liability was based on the employer's contributions to the OPEB plan relative
to the contributions of all employers to the plan for the period September 1, 2016 thru August 31, 2017.
At August 31, 2017 the employer's proportion of the collective Net OPEB Liability was .00588304% which
was the same proportion measured as of August 31, 2016.
Changes Since the Prior Actuarial Valuation. The following were changes to the actuarial assumptions or
other inputs that affected measurement of the Total OPEB liability since the prior measurement period.
The following assumptions and other inputs which are specific to TRS-Care were updated during the year
ended August 31, 2017:
1. Effective January 1, 2018, only one health plan option will exist (instead of three), and all retirees
will be required to contribute monthly premiums for coverage.The health plan changes triggered
changes to several of the assumptions,including participation rates,retirement rates,and spousal
participation rates.
85
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
2. The August 31, 2016 valuation had assumed that the savings related to the Medicare Part D
reimbursements would phase out by 2022. This assumption was removed for the August 31, 2017
valuation. Although there is uncertainty regarding these federal subsidies, the new assumption
better reflects the current substantive plan. This change was unrelated to the plan amendment,
and its impact was included as an assumption change in the reconciliation of the total OPEB
liability. This change significantly lowered the OPEB liability.
3. The discount rate changed from 2.98 percent as of August 31, 2016 to 3.42 percent as of
August 31, 2017. This change lowered the total OPEB liability.
For the year ended August 31,2018,the Academy recognized OPEB expense of ($2,326,965) and revenue
of ($1,474,476) for support provided by the State.

Note 16. Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The Town's general liability, workers'
compensation liability, law enforcement liability, errors and omissions liability, and automobile liability
coverage is insured by the Texas Municipal League, a public entity risk pool. The Town's only responsibility
to the Texas Municipal League is to pay premiums for insurance and related deductible amounts of these
policies. Other risk of loss is covered by commercial insurance. Settlements of claims have not exceeded
coverage in the past three years.
Note 17. Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the Town. In the opinion of Town management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the potential loss on these claims and lawsuits will not materially affect
the Town's financial position.
Circle T Municipal Utility Districts
The Town and Hillwood are currently in discussions regarding the debt for Municipal Utility District's (MUDS)
#1 and #3 on the Circle T property in Westlake which is controlled by AIL Investments, L.P. As this property
develops, Hillwood agreed to de-annex developed property from the MUDs in exchange for pro-rata
payments on water and sewer infrastructure installed by the MUDS at their inception.
To date, three projects, Lexington TNI, Deloitte University, and Charles Schwab, have been or are being
developed within these MUDS. Discussions regarding the Town's payment to AIL Investments, L.P. in
exchange for de-annexation of these two tracks from the Circle T MUDs have taken place but have not
come to a conclusion as to the settlement amounts.These discussions are ongoing until the Town receives
full documentation that it determines is adequate to support the requested payments. The Town of
Westlake holds full rights and privileges under the State granted Certificate of Convenience and Necessity
(CCN) and can serve all water and sewer customers within these MUD boundaries regardless of the status
of these negotiations.
Note 18. Solana Public Improvement District
On February 24, 2014, the Town Council granted a petition by Maguire Partners-Solana Land, LP in
resolution 14-07 to authorize and provide for the creation of a public improvement district, The Solana
Public Improvement District ("the District"). The District encompasses approximately 85 acres currently
being developed as a master-planned mixed-use development known as "Westlake Entrada" that is
expected to include, among other things, condominiums, residential villas, hotels, office, retail,
commercial, institutional and hospitality uses, and a wedding event center. The District was created in
accordance with Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
87
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
On February 5, 2015, the Town Council approved issuance of$26,175,000 of Special Assessment Revenue
Bonds, Series 2015 related to the District. The Public Improvement District Bonds (The Bonds) are special
and limited obligations of the Town payable solely from the pledged revenues and other funds comprising
the Trust Estate, as and to the extent provided in the indenture. The bonds do not give rise to a charge
against the general credit or taxing power of the Town and are payable solely from the sources identified
in the indenture. The owners of the bonds shall never have the right to demand payment thereof out of
money raised or to be raised by taxation, or out of any funds of the Town other than the Trust Estate, as
and to the extent provided in the indenture; and, no owner of the bonds shall have the right to demand
any exercise of the Town's taxing power to pay the principal of the bonds or the interest or redemption
premium, if any, thereon. The Town shall have no legal or moral obligation to pay the bonds out of any
funds of the Town other than the Trust Estate in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code.
The proceeds from the bond issue are being used as follows: payment of a portion of the costs of
construction, acquisition, or purchase of certain water, wastewater and roadway public improvements
for the special benefit of the District; funding a reserve fund; funding capitalized interest; payment of a
portion of the costs incidental to the organization of the District; and payment of the cost of issuance of
the bonds. The Town is not, and will not be obligated to provide any funds to finance construction of
authorized improvements. All design and construction costs of the District's authorized public
improvements will be paid from the District assessments and from other sources of funds, if any, to the
extent provided in the Trust Indenture.
Note 19. Tax Abatements
The Town enters into economic development agreements authorized under Chapter 380 of the Texas
Local Government Code and Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code. These agreements are planning tools
designed to stimulate economic activity,redevelopment,community improvement,and provide a return
on investment for the community.These programs abate or rebate property and/or sales and hotel/motel
taxes and may include other incentive payments such as fee reductions or construction costs
reimbursements. Economic development agreements are considered on a case-by-case basis by the
Town Council and generally contain recapture provisions, which may require repayment or termination
if recipients do not meet the required provisions of the economic incentives.
Other Economic Agreements
Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the Town to provide grants for the purpose of
promoting local economic development. These grants are based on a percentage of property and/or
sales tax received by the Town. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, the Town abated $246,646
in property taxes; $422,441 in sales taxes; and $47,410 in hotel/motel taxes.
Note 20. Going Concern
The 2018 financial statements were prepared assuming the Texas Student Housing entities will continue as
going concerns. The Texas Student Housing entities' bonds payable are considered to be in default due
to not making full principal and interest payments and, therefore, are reported as current liabilities. This is
considered an event of default by the Trustees,which gives the bondholders the right to accelerate and
demand payment of the bonds in full. Management and the property managers are in the process of
developing and implementing plans to increase occupancy and rental rates at the properties to improve
their financial performance.

Town of Westlake
Notes to Budgetary Comparison Schedules
Budgetary Information -The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing the budgetary data
reflected in the budgetary comparison schedules:
1. The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
2. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an ordinance. This budget
is reported as the Original Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
3. During the fiscal year, changes to the adopted budget may be authorized, as follows:
a. Items requiring Town Council action - appropriation of fund balance reserves; transfers of
appropriations between funds; new inter-fund loans or advances; and creation of new
capital projects or increases to existing capital projects.
b. Items delegated to the Town Manager - appropriation balances from an expenditure
account to another within a single fund.
4. Annual budgets are legally adopted and amended as required for the general, special revenue
and debt service funds. Project length budgets are adopted for the capital projects funds. All
budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
Budgets are adopted for the proprietary funds annually only as a management tool.There are no
legally mandated budgetary constraints for the proprietary funds.
5. Budget amounts are reflected after all authorized amendments and revisions. This budget is
reported as the Final Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
6. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Town's
management may make transfers of appropriations within a fund. Transfers of appropriations
between funds require the approval of the Town Council. The legal level of budgetary control is
the fund level. The Town Council made several supplementary budget appropriations during the
year.
7. Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for
the expenditure of resources are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation
is utilized in the governmental funds. Encumbrances lapse at year-end and do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities because the commitments must be re-appropriated and honored during
the subsequent year.

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