Town of Westlake
February 22, 2011
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,
2010, is hereby issued.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Town.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making representations, the
Town established a comprehensive internal control framework that was designed both to protect the
Town's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the
preparation of the Town's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Town's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatements. As management, we assert that, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The Town's financial statements have been audited by Pattillo, Brown and Hill LLP, Independent
Certified Public Accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance
that the financial statements of the Town for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, were free of
material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a
reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the Town's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The
independent auditors'report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires that management provide a
narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form
of management's discussion and analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to

i
compliment, 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.
Profile of the Town
Minutes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas and DFW
International Airport, the Town of Westlake is home to Town of
several upscale residential communities and Fortune 500 Westlake *'114 635
companies, all of which share a unique character and 35 377
VFWcharm, along with a commitment to excellence. The 820
ss
Town is located in northeast Tarrant County and may be SBO
conveniently accessed by several major thoroughfares, Fort Worth Dallas ¢�
including SH 114 and US 377. The Town occupies ,
approximately 7 square miles and serves a population of approximately 850 with the average
appraised home value at $1.2 million.
The Town, incorporated in 1956, is considered a Type A general-law municipality and has the power
by state statute to extend its corporate town limits by annexation, which is done periodically when
deemed appropriate by the Council. The Town operates under the Council-Manager form of
government. The Council is comprised of a mayor and five (5) council members and is responsible
for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring
the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of
the Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Town and appointing and supervising
heads of various departments. The Mayor and Town Council members serve two (2) year terms. All
elected officials are elected at-large.
The financial reporting entity (the government) includes all funds of the primary government (i.e. the
Town of Westlake), as well as all of its component units. Component units are legally separate
entities for which the primary government is financially accountable. The following entities are
considered blended component units:
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the
Town to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's duly
constituted authority and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing
body, is comprised of seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing
body.
4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the
Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town
and the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote
and encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing,
implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B
of the Act. The board of directors is composed of seven persons appointed by the members of the
Town's governing board. Four of the members of the board of directors are members of the Town's
governing board.
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
ii
currently has 520 students and serves Kindergarten thru 12th grade. The Academy graduated their
first class in FY 2009-2010. The Board consists of six (6) trustees and is appointed by the Town's
governing body. Currently, all members of the board of trustees are members of the Town's
governing body. The Academy's year-end is August 31.
Discretely presented component units are legally separate entities and not part of the primary
government's operations. These component units are as follows: Texas Student Housing Authority-
Ballpark Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Corporation-The Ridge at North Texas Project,
Texas Student Housing Authority-Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Authority-
College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Authority.
Services Provided
The Town provides to its citizens those services that have proven to be necessary and meaningful and
which the Town can provide for the least amount of cost. Major services provided under the general
government and enterprise functions are: Fire and emergency medical services, police, water and
sewer utility services, park and recreational facilities, street improvements, education and
administrative services.
Economic Conditions and Outlook
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader of the specific environment within which the Town operates.
Local Economy
There is no question that Texas, and especially the Fort Worth-Dallas Metroplex, has fared better than
most of the country in the current recession. Nonetheless, the Town of Westlake has been affected by
the current economic downturn, as have other municipalities across our area, state, and nation. This
current economic downturn has negatively affected our Town's budget due to its heavy reliance on
sales tax revenue to fund Town services and our debt obligations. Sales tax can be a very viable
revenue source during stable economic times. However, since it is a volitional tax, i.e. - paid when
someone decides to buy a service or product, during times of economic down turn it often declines.
During FY 2009-2010 the following milestones and strategic priorities were achieved:
• Construction on the $15 Million Phase 1 FM 1938 (Precinct Line Rd) Improvements Project
commenced. This will be a major north/south arterial roadway which will greatly enhance
mobility for this region, our residents, and employees of Westlake businesses. It will have a
major impact on future business attraction and economic development in Westlake.
• Occupancy of Fidelity Regional Headquarters Phase II began.
• The Town's Five (5) Year Strategic Plan was reviewed for progress with the Town Council
during the fiscal year with significant time spent by the Council and staff on addressing the
Town's long term financial sustainability, a key part of the Strategic Plan.
• The Town received a Scenic Cities designation as a Gold level Scenic City, a marked
distinction given only to cities with codes, ordinances, and plans that encourage, create, and
maintain a high standard of pleasing community appearance, aesthetics, and community
livability.
iii
• The Stagecoach Hills Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project was completed and Phase 1
water distribution system improvements for the Stagecoach Hills Subdivision began.
• A Five (5) Year Comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan was adopted by the Town Council.
• The Town continued to receive recognition for the transparency and high quality of its financial
reporting, receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting as
well as the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Governmental Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) for both its FY 2008-2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR), also known as the annual audit and its FY 2009-2010 Budget.
• The new $5.1 Million Sam and Margaret Lee Arts & Sciences Center at Westlake Academy
was opened and operated for the 2009-2010 school year.
• Ground was broken and construction began on the $300 million Deloitte University project
which is on schedule and set to open in Fall 2011.
• The Terra Bella and Solana trail systems were linked with a connection on Sam School Road.
• Westlake's first gas well was successfully drilled in Solana under the standards and
requirements of the Town's Oil and Gas Drilling/Production Ordinance adopted in 2009.
• The Town's second Direction Finders (Citizens') Survey was conducted and the results were
compared to the 2009 results as well as used to help guide the FY 2010-2011 budget
preparation process.
• New Westlake e-Tube Videos were launched on the Town web site.
• New home construction began in the Town's newest residential neighborhood, Terra Bella.
• For the second consecutive year, the Town continued its "Westlake Windows" initiative for
transparent government with citizen outreach meetings held in every Westlake Neighborhood.
• Westlake was the recipient of a Municipal Excellence Award for Management Innovation from
the Texas Municipal League for the cities of 25,000 populations or less, recognizing the Town's
multi-faceted, low cost citizen engagement program entitled Westlake Windows: TGIF
(transparent government in focus).
Sales tax collections increased by 3.4% for fiscal year 2010. Approximately 17% of the total
revenues received were due to collections based on an economic development agreement, 2% from
audit collections and approximately 21% was received from presumed one-time payments. Sales tax
revenues were .5% ($12K) more when comparing "actual" sales tax revenues with fiscal year 2009.

Long-Term Financial Outlook
The Town of Westlake has developed a comprehensive capital improvements document as well as a
multi-year strategic plan. Such strategic planning assists both the Council and staff in establishing
priorities and allocating resources appropriately.
One of the outcome strategies set out in the Town's Strategic Plan is to "Establish a strategy for
achieving long-term financial sustainability for the Town government, including Westlake Academy."
As a part of the systemic framework of governing and managing for outcomes, we knew from the
regularly updated and Town Council reviewed Five (5) year Financial Forecast that if nothing
changed, beginning in FY 2012-2013, the Town's present revenue sources and fund balances would
not be able to keep pace with projected expenditures. In turn, the projected fund balance in the
General Fund would fall below the 90 day minimum requirement set by Town Council financial
policy.
Financial forecasts are used by the Town to identify important warning "sign posts" that should not
be ignored. The FY 2009-2010 and original 2010-2011 forecasts indicated we were heading into
severe financial distress. Our Strategic Plan established financial sustainability as a priority for the
Town and Westlake Academy. However, as the Town's financial condition worsened, the need to
make hard decisions regarding key services and potential revenue sources including an ad valorem
tax became more apparent.
The decision to "wait out the storm" in FY 2009-2010 meant we had even less time to make critical
decisions to deal with this issue. Waiting would have prolonged the continued decline by spending
our reserves and not being able to meet our short or long-term financial obligations. Thus, in FY
2010-2011, we found ourselves at a juncture where we could still continue to face critical challenges
and critical choices financially. However, we had an opportunity to deal with them in a proactive,
thoughtful manner that placed Westlake's future as a premier knowledge based community on a firm
financial foundation. The FY 2010-2011 budget established an additional revenue source with the
imposition of a property tax and in so doing, helps to secure our long-term financial stability.
Continuing factors that remain a challenge as we enter FY 2010-2011 include:
• The Town's heavy reliance on sales tax and one-time permits/fees to fund its operation and debt
service costs.
v
• As noted above, during this current recession, Texas, and especially the Fort Worth-Dallas
metroplex, has fared better than many other parts of the country. However, this economic
downturn continues to impact local governments' revenue streams throughout this area and
Westlake is no exception.
• Retail development that could help increase sales tax revenue has not occurred to date and based
on retail industry conditions, is unlikely to occur at any significant level in the near to medium
term.
• A significant source of sales tax is "situs agreements" that generate sales tax revenue from
construction materials purchased for major economic development projects such as Deloitte and
Fidelity. Again, these sales tax revenues are one-time revenues.
• Hotel/motel occupancy tax revenue has not grown at an appreciable rate due primarily to
decreased business travel, even though the Marriott Solana expanded their room count two
years ago.
• Residential building permits have decreased due to the current economic climate
• Large building permits from major economic development projects such as Fidelity and Deloitte
have helped fund Town services; however, these economic development projects take years to
develop. Currently, there are no such projects even in the preliminary planning stages. Again,
these are one-time revenue sources.
• In FY 2005-2006, Westlake voters approved dissolving the Town's 4A half cent economic
development sales tax and replacing it with a half cent sales tax for "property tax reduction".
This provided for a $2.2 million transfer to the General Fund and significantly increased the
fund balance. This funding infusion, while increasing the General Fund's fund balance, had
perhaps masked the volatility and lack of diversity of the Town's on-going revenue structure.
• Fixed debt service costs are a significant part of the Town's costs and were increased in FY
2007-2008 with the issuance of$2.5 million of general obligation bonds for the new Sam and
Margaret Lee Arts & Sciences Center at Westlake Academy.
• Operating costs have increased to fund Town services, including Westlake Academy. As the
Town's population has grown, the Academy's campus and enrollment growth has increased
correspondingly. Another influencing factor related to operating cost adjustments is due to
natural inflationary increases.
• The Town's land use plan, and the zoning that implements it, features corporate office
campuses and large lot single family residential as the primary land use pattern that is desired
for Westlake. Both of these land uses, particularly the office land use, lend themselves more to
creating a strong ad valorem tax base, not necessarily a strong sales tax base. As stated earlier,
FY 2010-2011 became the first year the Town has proposed and implemented a property tax.
Westlake's certified 2010 taxable assessed valuation is approximately $654M net of
abatements; a large ad valorem tax base for a community 6.2 square miles in land area and a
population of approximately 850.
• Establishment of a property tax, lowest of the area municipalities, will allow the Town to begin
to address its 5 Year CIP, with a strong focus on maintaining its street infrastructure. The
Adopted FY 2010-2011 Budget approves transfer of $3.2 million from the Property Tax
Reduction Fund and the General Fund to the Capital Projects fund to be combined with $2.0
million of debt planned to be issued in FY 2010-2011 to fund the first three years' projects in
the CIP.

Users of this document, as well as others interested in the programs and services offered by the Town
of Westlake, are encouraged to read the Town's Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Budget. The budget details
the Town's long-term goals and financial policies, and describes program accomplishments and
initiatives.
Other Information
Certificate of Achievement
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, 2009.
This was the third year the Town has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
In addition, the government also received their second GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award for its annual budget document for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. In order to
qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the Town's budget document had to be
judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications
device.
Acknowledgements
The preparation of this report could not be accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services
of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Appreciation is expressed to Town employees
throughout the organization, especially those employees who were instrumental in the successful
completion of this report.
The staff would also like to thank the Mayor and Town Council for their conservative leadership and
their support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the Town in a responsible and
progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor
and Town Council
Town of Westlake, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of
the Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, which
collectively comprise the Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Westlake, Texas' management. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of the Town of Westlake,
Texas, as of September 30, 2010, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows,
where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued a report dated February
22, 2011, on our consideration of the Town of Westlake, Texas' internal control over financial
reporting and on our tests of 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 and should be

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 15
and 67 through 76 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Town of Westlake, Texas' financial statements as a whole. The
introductory section, individual fund budgetary analysis schedule, and statistical section are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The
individual fund budgetary analysis schedule is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on it.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Town of Westlake is pleased to present this overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Town for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of
transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
■ The Assets of the Town exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$26,094,630 (Net assets). This number must be viewed in the context that the vast majority of
the Town's net assets of$20,667,316 (79%) are capital assets and that most capital assets in
government do not directly generate revenue nor can they be sold to generate liquid capital.
Those net assets restricted for specific purposes totaled $1,564,868 (6%). The remaining
$3,862,446 (15%) are unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the government's
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the Town's fund designation
and fiscal policies.
■ As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of Westlake's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of$7,836,949, an increase of$1,598,110 in comparison with
the prior year. Within this total, $1,564,868 is restricted or designated by management or
council.
■ At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund was $3,792,985, an
increase of $1,067,673 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total fund balance,
$3,578,235 is unreserved. This represents 94% of total general fund expenditures and is
equivalent to 345 operating days.
■ The Town's capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) decreased by $536,726. The
major portion of this decrease is due to an increase related to the completion of the Arts &
Sciences Center and its parking lot, Stagecoach Hills subdivision drainage and waterline
infrastructure and two buses for the Westlake Academy. This increase in capital expenditures
was reduced by $1,317,096 of depreciation, which gave the Town a net decrease.
■ The Town's bonds payable decreased by $525,000 or 2.5%, due to the scheduled repayment of
principal on outstanding bonded debt. The Town did not issue any new bonded debt during the
fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial
statements. The Town's basic financial statements comprise 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.
3
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
the Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The government-wide financial
statements are prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Town's assets and liabilities with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net
assets serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or
weakening.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All of the revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus
revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows
in future fiscal periods.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are
principally supported by sales taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees
and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general
government, public safety, culture and recreation, economic development, public works, visitor
services and education. The business-type activities of the Town include water/sewer and cemetery.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town (known as the primary
government), but also discretely presented component units including all of the Texas Student Housing
entities. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial
information presented for the primary government itself. See pages 28-31 of the "Financial Section"
for detail on these entities. In addition, the Town has the following blended component units: Lone
Star Public Facility Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, and Westlake Academy, an
open enrollment charter school owned and operated by the Town of Westlake.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Below
are the three types of funds. The Town had only "Governmental funds and Proprietary funds" for the
year ended September 30, 2010.
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.
4
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, the reader may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement
of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Town maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the General, Visitors Association, Westlake Academy, Debt Service,
Capital Projects, FM 1938, Property Tax Reduction, Vehicle/Equipment Replacement, Economic
Development, Lone Star Public Facility Corporation and Westlake 4B Economic Development
Corporation funds, all of which are presented as major funds.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds, except the Capital Projects fund which
is a project-length based budget. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all
appropriate funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 19-24 of this report.
Proprietary funds - There are two types of proprietary funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service
Funds. An Enterprise Fund is the only proprietary fund currently maintained by the Town. Enterprise
funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-
wide financial statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activities
and its cemetery activities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in
this fund, including administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, billing
and collection. The Town's intent is that costs of providing the services to the general public on a
continuing basis is financed through user 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 25 - 27 on this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds is similar to the accounting used for proprietary funds. The
Town of Westlake does not currently have any fiduciary funds.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes
to the financial statements can be found on pages 32 - 66 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 67 - 77.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the government's financial
position. In the case of the Town, assets exceeded liabilities by $26,094,630 at the close of the most
recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the Town's net assets, $20,667,316 (79%), reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g. land, buildings, equipment, improvements, construction in progress, and infrastructure),
less any debt used to acquire capital assets still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to
provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the Town's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town's net assets, $1,564,868 (6%), represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets,
$3,862,446 (15%), may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.

assets, net of related debt increased by $388,796. The major portion of this increase is related to the
Arts & Sciences Center parking lot, Stagecoach Hills subdivision drainage infrastructure and two buses
for the Westlake Academy.

o Decrease in transfers out of$61,321 to various funds
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the Town's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a town's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of$7,836,949 an increase of$1,598,110 in comparison with the prior year. See below for the
major reasons for this increase:
General Fund - Fund balance increased by $1,067,673. Revenues increased by $827,343 mostly
due to the Deloitte building permit and inspection/plan review fees and expenditures were reduced
by $410,397. A large portion ($271,012) of the reduction in expenditures is attributed to the
creation of a new "Economic Development Fund" in which payments to various entities are
recorded based on economic development agreements. Transfers in decreased by $265,599
primarily due to the transfer of$250,000 from the Property Tax Reduction Fund in the prior year
that wasn't necessary in the current fiscal year. See page 60 of the "Notes to the Financial
Statements" for detailed information related to the transfers.
Visitors Association Fund - The net decrease in fund balance of$144,005 was due primarily to the
budgeted transfer out to the Debt Service Fund for the bond payment for the Arts and Sciences
Center as well as the additional transportation payment made to the Marriott.
Capital Projects Fund — The net decrease in fund balance is $85,832. The major portion of the
decrease was due to the completion of the Arts & Sciences Center.
Property Tax Reduction Fund — Fund balance increased by $501,717. This fund represents '/2
cent in sales tax revenues and is used to supplement various funds. Funds were transferred from
9
this account to Debt Service Fund to supplement payments made from the 4B Economic
Development Corporation Fund, Capital Projects Fund, General Major Maintenance Fund and the
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund.
413 Economic Development Corporation Fund — Fund balance did not change during the current
fiscal year. All funds received were transferred to the Debt Service Fund for the annual bond
payments.
Proprietary funds. The Town's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information
found in the government-wide financial statements but in more detail.
Total net assets of the Utility Fund amounted to $4,889,082, a decrease of $351,016. Operating
income totaled$215,575 but was offset by a net non-operating revenues (expenses)total of$566,591.
o Revenues were $211,712 less than the prior year because FY 2009-2010 was a wetter than
normal year resulting in decreased water billing revenues and other associated fees.
o Operating Expenses decreased by $121,436:
• $44,633 increase for payroll and related expenses due to additional allocation percentages
of the Finance department to the Utility Fund as well as a portion of the administrative
assistant in the Human Resources department who was not here for a full year in the prior
year.
• $220,507 decrease in bad debt expense for the current fiscal year (FY 2009-2010 bad debt
expense of$604 is netted against operating revenues)
• $56,292 increase in other operating costs
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund budget was amended in total to increase the net change in fund balance from
($784,553) to $724,753, a total of$1,509,306.
o Net revenues were increased by $1,481,453 (45%). The major portion of this is attributed to
the increase of permits and fees by $1,371,945 based on a $1.2 one-time building permit that
had been anticipated to be received in FY 08-09, sales tax revenues were increased by
$121,400 with the remaining decrease of$11,892 being the net effect of several amendments to
revenue accounts.
o Expenditures were decreased by $468,594 (10%) of which $488,327 was due to the creation of
an "Economic Development Fund" and the transfer of the budgeted payments to the separate
fund. The offsetting $19,733 is again based on the net effect of several amendments to
expenditure accounts.
o Transfers out were increased by $112,741 of which approximately $49K was for the civic
campus water well and $63K represented the final expenditures for the Arts & Sciences Center.
The general fund's actual revenue collections exceeded the amended budget by $62,973.
10
The general's fund's final expenditures were $350,615 less than the amended budget(8%).
o General government over budget$44,504
o Public safety under budget $230,428
• Budgeted for 9 full time staff and only had 6 - $170,480
• Several contracts were less than budgeted- $6,555
• Employee Physicals less due to short staff—$4,785
• Vehicle fuel, uniforms, firefighter supplies - $20,670
• Vehicle repair and maintenance - $10,116
o Cultural and recreation under budget$26,642
o Public works under budget $115,049
• Staff made a conscious effort towards keeping expenditures down and the majority of
this variance was due to reduction in engineering, ROW irrigation and various other
contracted services.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. The Town's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type
activities as of September 30, 2010, totaled $45,744,455 (net of accumulated depreciation). The
investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment,
infrastructure, and construction in progress. The net decrease in the Town's investment in capital
assets for the current fiscal year was $536,726 or 1%. The major portion of this decrease is due to an
increase related to the completion of the Arts & Sciences Center and its parking lot, Stagecoach Hills
subdivision drainage and waterline infrastructure and two buses for the Westlake Academy. This
amount was offset by$1,317,096 of depreciation which gave the Town a net decrease.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
During the budget process for FY 2010-2011, the Town found itself at a juncture where it could still
continue to face critical challenges and critical choices financially by relying on its major revenue
sources being sales tax, franchise fees, permits & fees, large one-time building permits, and fines and
forfeitures with no property tax. Numerous hours and options were presented at the Council's budget
workshops and other public meetings that placed the Town's finances on solid ground, securing its
vision for the future. These scenarios focused on stabilizing the General Fund's on-going revenue (i.e.
ceasing the use of fund balance for daily operations and reliance on one-time, non-reoccurring
revenues) as well as reinvesting in the Town's infrastructure. These revenue options utilized a
municipal ad valorem (property)tax, something that the Town had never had before.
The Town's estimated 2010 taxable assessed valuation is approximately $654M net of abatements; a
large ad valorem tax base for a community 6.2 square miles in land area and a permanent residential
population of approximately 850 with an estimated daytime population of between 10,000 and 12,000
(Monday-Friday). The FY 2010-2011 tax rate for the Town is the lowest amount in the area at $.1601
per$100 of assessed valuation ($.1562 maintenance & operations and $.0039 interest and sinking).

TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2010
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of activities are different because:
Net change in fund balance-total governmental funds $ 1,598,110
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as
depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeds capital outlays in the
current period. ( 146,222)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provided current financial resources to
governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current
financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net
assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and
similar items when debt is first issued,whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of
long-term debt and related items. 595,737
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and,therefore,are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. ( 111,168)
Change in net assets of governmental activities $ 1,936,457

TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30,2010
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town") was incorporated under the provisions of the
laws of the State of Texas on December 26, 1956. The Town operates under a Board-
Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by the laws
of the State of Texas: public safety; cultural and recreation; and economic development.
A. Reporting Entity
The accompanying financial statements comply with the provisions of the GASB statements
No. 14 and 39. "The Financial Reporting Entity," in that the Town's basic financial
statements include the accounts of the Town's financial reporting entity, including the
primary government, organizations for which the Town is financially accountable and other
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Town are
such that inclusion would cause the Town's financial statement to be misleading or
incomplete. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the Town's
reporting entity, includes whether:
■ The organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in their own name);
■ The Town holds the corporate powers of the organization;
■ The Town appoints a voting majority of the organization's board;
■ The Town is able to impose its will on the organization;
■ The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the
Town; and
■ There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the Town.
Component units are blended with the balances and transactions of the Town if one of the
following criterion are met:
■ The component unit is substantially the same governing body as the Town; or
■ The component unit provides services entirely (or almost entirely) to the
Town or benefits the Town exclusively (or almost exclusively) ; or
■ The Town is able to impose its will on the component unit.
(continued)
32
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
Based on the aforementioned criteria, the Town has the following component units: Lone
Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, Westlake
Academy, Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Authority Ballpark
Austin Project; Texas Student Housing Authority Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student
Housing Authority College Station Project and Texas Student Housing Corporation - The
Ridge at North Texas.
B. Component Units
Discretely Presented
The Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Ballpark Austin Project,
Texas Student Housing Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing College Station
Project, and Texas Student Housing Corporation — The Ridge at North Texas Project
(collectively, "Texas Student Housing') are Texas nonprofit organizations as a duly
constituted authority of the Town pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the Texas Education Code,
as amended (Act). Texas Student Housing's primary purpose is to construct, own, and
operate student housing facilities on college campuses in Texas. The board consists of seven
directors which are appointed by the Town's governing body and has the ability to remove at
will the appointed members, thus the governing body can impose its will on the
organizations. Housing entities are reported as Enterprise Funds. The Town is not
responsible for the long-term debt of the Texas Student Housing entities. All Texas Student
Housing entities have separately issued financial statements. These statements can be
obtained by contacting the Texas Student Housing Authority, 3 Village Circle, Suite 207,
Westlake, Texas 76262.
The financial statements are formatted to allow the user to clearly distinguish between the
primary government and the discretely presented component units.
Blended
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf
of the Town to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's
duly constituted authority and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the
Town's governing body, is comprised of seven members, of whom five must be members of
the Town's governing body. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the
Town's governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
B. Component Units (Continued)
Blended (Continued)
4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under
the Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within
the Town and the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment,
and to promote and encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of
the Town by developing, implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects
defined and permitted under Section 4B of the Act. The board of directors is composed of
seven persons appointed by the members of the Town's governing board. Four of the
members of the board of directors are members of the Town's governing board. Since a
voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's governing body, the Town can
impose its will on the entity.
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 a voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's
governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity. The Academy's year-end is
August 31.
C. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the
Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the Town.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported
separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government
is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues includes 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Major individual Governmental Funds and major individual Enterprise Funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements.
(continued)

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

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 fund:
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.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Measurement Focus,Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation(Continued)
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and Enterprise Funds,
subject to this same limitation. The Town has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector
guidance.
As a general rule, the effect of interfand activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's
water and wastewater function and various other functions of the government. Elimination
of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various
functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customer or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue
includes all taxes.
E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and investments of all funds, including restricted cash, are available upon demand and
are considered to be "cash equivalents."
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers highly-liquid investments
(including restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents.
State statues authorize the Town to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its
agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3)
other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or
insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies,
counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to
investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a
rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state or national
banks domiciled in this state that are (a) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (b) secured by obligations that are described by
(1) — (4); or (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined
termination date, secured by obligations described by (1) pledged with third-party selected or
approved by the Town, and placed through a primary government securities dealer.
All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the
amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
E. Assets,Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity(Continued)
Interfund Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for
goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as "due
from other funds" or "due to other funds" on the balance sheet. Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."
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
Inventories, which are expended as they are consumed, are stated at the lower of cost or
market on a first-in, first-out basis.
Fund Changes and Transactions Between Funds
Legally authorized transfers are treated as operating transfers and are included in the results
of operations of both governmental and proprietary funds.
The Town allocates an indirect cost percentage of the salaries, wages and related costs of
personnel who perform administrative services as well as other indirect costs necessary for
the operation of various funds. Expenses are budgeted and paid from the appropriate fund.
Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical
cost is not available.
The cost of nominal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value
on the date donated. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over
three years of life. All infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar
items), regardless of the acquisition date or amount, have been included. Estimated historical
cost for initial reporting of infrastructure assets (those reported by governmental activities)
was valued by estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure and using an
index to deflate the cost to the estimated acquisition/construction year. As the Town
constructs or acquires additional capital assets, including infrastructure assets, they are
capitalized and reported at historical cost.

E. Assets,Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Capital Assets (Continued)
Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line
method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets Years
Water and sewer system 10-50
Buildings 20-50
Machinery and equipment 3-30
Improvements 5-30
Information systems and software 3
Compensated Absences
The Town's policy allows employees to earn 5 days of vacation and 5 days of sick leave
between six months and one year of service, and 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick
leave between one year and two years of service. After completion of 5 years of service, 15
days of vacation and 15 days of sick leave per year are earned. After completion of 10 years
of service, 20 days of vacation and 20 days of sick leave per year are earned. The Town
makes sick and vacation time available in full at the beginning of each year, and hours are
actually earned throughout the year. Unused, earned vacation hours are paid upon
termination or retirement at the employee's normal hourly rate; accumulated, unused sick
time is not payable upon termination or retirement.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type
statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred
and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method, which approximates
the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized
over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types
recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs during the current period.
The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums
received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual proceeds,
are reported as expenditures.
Reserved and Designated Fund Equity
Reserved fund balances are not appropriable for expenditure or are legally segregated for a
specific future use. Designated fund balances are established to indicate tentative plans for
financial resources utilization in a future period.
(continued)
39
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Net Assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in
capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction
or improvement of those assets, adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as
restricted when there are limitations imposed on there use either through enabling legislations
adopted by the Town or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws
or regulations of other governments.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
II. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and
the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance — total
governmental funds and net assets—governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains, "Long-term liabilities are
not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds." The
details of this $19,889,118 difference are as follows:
Certificates of obligation bonds $ 20,362,224
Deferred charges for issuance costs(to be amortized
over life of debt) (943,973)

II. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of
Revenue, Expenditures and Chances in Fund Balances and the Government-wide
Statement of Activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances
includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total governmental fund and
changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of
activities. One element of that reconciliation explains, "Governmental funds report capital
outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense." The details of
this $146,222 difference are as follows:
Capital contributions $ 83,250
Capital outlay($52,411 reclassified to expense repairs) 629,692
Depreciation expense (859,164)
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances-
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net
assets of governmental activities $ (146,222)
Another element of that reconciliation states, "The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds,
leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the
principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the
effect of issuance costs, premiums, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. Details of this $595,737
difference are as follows:
Principal repayments:
General obligation debt $ 525,000
Capital lease 46,559
Deferred rebates 24,178
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances-

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
Deposits 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 Town did not engage in repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement transactions during the
current year.
During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Town had investments with TexPool. TexPool, a
public funds investment pool created by the Treasurer of the State of Texas acting by and
through the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, which is empowered to invest funds
and acts as custodian of investments purchased with local investment funds. These investments
are not required to be categorized because the investor is not issued securities, but rather it owns
an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the respective funds. The fair value of the
position in TexPool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
On September 1, 1989, local government investment pools became authorized investments for
the majority of public entities in Texas. The Interlocal Cooperation Act was amended by the 71"
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.

Deposits and Investments (Continued)
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions
in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate
policies. Among other things, it requires the Town to adopt, implement, and publicize its
investment policy. That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and
liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5)
expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7)
maximum average dollar — weighted maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the
portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for
certificates of deposit. Statutes and the Town's investment policy authorized the Town to invest
in the following investments as summarized in the table below:
Maximum Maximum
Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment
Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio in One Issuer
Obligations of, or guaranteed by
Governmental entities 2 years None None
Certificates of deposit 1 year None None
Mutual funds 2 years 80% None

Interest Rate Risk. This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. In order to limit interest and
market rate risk from changes in interest rates, the Town's investment policy sets a maximum
stated maturity limit of two years for obligations of the United States Government, its agencies
and instrumentalities (excluding mortgage backed securities) and one year for fully insured or
collateralized certificates of deposit. No more than 80% of the Town's monthly average balance
may be invested in money market funds. Additionally, the Town invests in an investment pool
that purchases a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than
29 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values
of the Town's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table
that shows the distribution of the Town's Investments. The Town has negotiated an interest
rate for all checking account deposits; therefore, cash is considered in the balance of our
investments.
Credit Risk. This is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented above is the minimum rating required by
(where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the Town's investment policy, or debt
agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

On August 10, 1998, the Town entered into an economic development agreement with Fidelity
Texas Limited Partnership ("Fidelity") which provided that Fidelity will receive a rebate of one
percent of local sales taxes collected by the Town and paid by Fidelity. The agreement provided
that the rebate will be paid to Fidelity within 30 days of each calendar quarter from the sales
taxes received by the Town. On November 13, 2000, the agreement was amended to allow for a
payment schedule of 15 annual equal installments for sales tax rebate due and payable to
Fidelity. The amount due will not bear interest. The loan is discounted to present value and
amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

General Long-term Debt(Continued)
The Certificates of Obligation, Series 2002 and 2003 require the Town to provide certain
updated financial information and operating data to certain information vendors annually, as
permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The issuer will provide the updated information
to each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") and to
any state information depository ("SID") that is designated by the State of Texas and approved
by the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission(the "SEC").
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Town issued General Obligation bonds of
$2.5 million. These bonds were used for the construction of an Arts & Sciences Center that was
completed during the current fiscal year.
Proprietary Long-term Debt
Elevated Water Storage Facility
On October 9, 2000, the Town approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Keller, which
provided for the joint construction, operation, maintenance and use of an elevated water storage
facility and appurtenances. The Town recorded a contractual obligation of$1,466,000 based on
the terms of the interlocal agreement, which requires 20 annual principal and interest payments
to the City of Keller, with payments due each September 30 at interest rates ranging from 5.0%
to 5.65%.
Dove Road Water Line and West Pump Station
In April 2000, the Town approved an agreement with the Hillwood Development Corporation
("Hillwood"). In the agreement, Hillwood agreed to bear all initial costs for the design,
engineering and constructions of the Dove Road Water Line and the West Pump Station that will
service the residents of the Town. The Town agreed to reimburse Hillwood for the cost of the
project upon completion and the Town's acceptance of the project, which occurred in June 2001,
solely from a $.25 charge per 1,000 gallons of usage. The Town further agreed to deposit debt
service revenue of $.25 per 1,000 gallons of usage collected from Town residents to fund its
repayment to Hillwood. Debt service revenue will be allocated between Hillwood service area and
Town service area by 52% and 48%, respectively and deposited into two separate debt service
funds that will result in debt service revenue to pay the respective share of the construction cost.
The Town recorded a limited pledge contractual obligation of$4,679,944 for the project cost based
upon the terms of the agreement, which requires 239 monthly principal and interest payments to
Hillwood, at an interest rate of 6.75%. If the Town collects insufficient funds to pay current
interest on the debt, the interest payment may be deferred. No portion of debt payments will be
applied to the principal component, until all current and deferred interest is fully paid. The
obligation of the Town to pay the purchase price and interest thereon is not a general obligation
of the Town but is a limited recourse obligation payable solely from debt service revenue.

The Project's original developer refinanced the installmept note through a secondary offering
with Cambridge Student Housing Financing Company, L.P. The debt certificates were sold to
private investors in the following classes:

D 5,380,000

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, 2010, the Project was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.
Should the project default, 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.

Retirement Plan
Plan Description
The Town provides pension benefits for all of its eligible employees through a non-traditional,
joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS), an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that
have been adopted by the Town are within the options available in the governing state statutes of
TMRS.

Retirement Plan (Continued)
Plan Description (Continued)
TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides
detailed explanations of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions used
by the System. This report may be obtained by writing to TMRS, P. O. Box 149153, Austin,
Texas 78714-9153 or by calling 800-924-8677; in addition, the report is available on TMRS'
website at www.TMRS.com.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the Town, within the options available
in the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the Town were as follows:

Annuity increase (to retirees) 0% of CPI 0% of CPI
repeating repeating
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each town is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the
normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to
be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the
portion of an active member's projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution
rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for
that city. Both the normal cost and prior service contribution rates include recognition of the
projected impact of annually repeating benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity
Increases.

and the Town make contributions monthly. Since the Town needs to know its contribution rate
in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that
serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The annual
pension cost and net pension obligation/(asset) are as follows:

Other Postemployment Benefits
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
The Town also participates in the cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit group term life
insurance plan operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The Town elected, by ordinance to provide group
term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The Town may terminate
coverage under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before
November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1.
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month
period preceding the month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is
an"other postemployment benefit," or OPEB.
The Town contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The
funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet
all death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is not to pre-fund retiree term life
insurance during employees' entire careers.

Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The Town's general
liability, workers' compensation liability, law enforcement liability, errors and omissions
liability, and automobile liability coverage is insured by the Texas Municipal League, a public
entity risk pool. The Town's only responsibility to the Texas Municipal League is to pay
premiums for insurance and related deductible amounts of these policies. Other risk of loss is
covered by commercial insurance. Settlements of claims have not exceeded coverage in the past
three years.
Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
The Town and Academy are currently involved in a lawsuit for wrongful termination brought by
the former head of school and his wife, a former teacher. The Town and Academy deny liability.
The lawsuit is being handled by the Academy's insurance carrier and no additional liability to
the Academy is anticipated.
The Town is also involved in a lawsuit to determine the rights of the Town to levy a property tax
and its authority to expend collected tax revenues on school operations at the Academy. The
Town denies any liability. No additional liability to the Town is anticipated.
Various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the Town. In the opinion of Town
management, after consultation with legal counsel, the potential loss on these claims and
lawsuits will not materially effect the Town's financial position.

Contingent Liabilities (Continued)
Circle T Municipal Utility Districts
The Town has agreements in place with 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, AIL Investments, L.P. agreed to de-annex developed property from the MUDS in
exchange for pro-rata payments on water and sewer infrastructure installed by the MUD at their
inception.
To date, two projects, Chrysler Financial and Deloitte University, have been or are being
developed within these MUDS. Discussions regarding the Town's payment to AIL Investments,
L.P. in exchange for de-annexation of these two tracks from the Circle T MUDS have taken place
but have not come to a conclusion as to the settlement amounts. These discussions are ongoing
until the Town receives full documentation that it determines is adequate to support the requested
payments. The Town of Westlake holds full rights and privileges under the State granted
Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) and can serve all water and sewer customers
within these MUD boundaries regardless of the status of these negotiations.
Westlake Academy Building Site
In 2002, the Town purchased 24.59 acres for the site of Westlake Academy and executed a
Promissory Note in the amount of$1,475,400 with a rate of 6% interest. The $1,475,400 was
placed into escrow in July, 2002. In July, 2003 the Escrow Agent delivered total funds in the
amount of$1,495,665 to the "Seller", leaving a balance of$68,259 at that date. The "Seller"has
informed the Town that this amount plus accrued interest is now payable. The Town is in
negotiations with the "Seller" and contends that it has satisfied the terms and the intent of the
sales agreement.
Subsequent Event
In December 2010, the Town Council approved a list of capital improvements, which are to be
funded by a combination of cash from the Property Tax Reduction Fund, available fund balance
in the General Fund and issuance of new debt. The debt is expected to be issued in early 2011
and the capital improvements are expected to be completed over the next five years.

TOWN OF WESTLAKE,TEXAS
NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
SEPTEMBER 30,2010
(Unaudited)
BUDGETARY INFORMATION - The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing
the budgetary data reflected in the budgetary comparison schedules:
1. The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
2. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an ordinance. This
budget is reported as the Original Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
3. During the fiscal year,changes to the adopted budget may be authorized, as follows:
a) Items requiring Town Council action - appropriation of fund balance reserves;
transfers of appropriations between funds; new inter-fund loans or advances; and
creation of new capital projects or increases to existing capital projects.
b) Items delegated to the Town Manager — appropriation balances from an
expenditure account to another within a single fund
4. Annual budgets are legally adopted and amended as required for the general, special revenue
and debt service funds. Project length budgets are adopted for the capital projects funds. All
budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepting accounting principles.
Budgets are adopted for the proprietary funds annually only as a management tool. There are
no legally mandated budgetary constraints for the proprietary funds.
5. Budget amounts are reflected after all authorized amendments and revisions. This budget is
reported as the Final Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
6. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Town's
management may make transfers of appropriations within a fund. Transfers of appropriations
between funds require the approval of the Town Council. The legal level of budgetary
control is the fund level. The Town Council made several supplementary budget
appropriations during the year.
7. Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for
the expenditure of resources are recoded to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds. Encumbrances lapse at year-end and do
not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments must be reappropriated and
honored during the subsequent year.
8. Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the general government and administration function
of the General Fund. The excess was covered by unspent budget in other functions and
available fund balances. Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the Economic
Development Fund for the year. The deficit was covered by additional collections of
revenue. In addition, transfers out exceeded appropriations in the 4B Economic Development
Corporation Fund.The deficit was covered by additional collections of revenue.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ■ BUSINESS CONSULTANTS
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
Town Council
Town of Westlake, Texas
3 Village Circle, Suite 202
Westlake, Texas 76262
Members of the Council:
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units and each major fund of the Town of
Westlake, Texas, (the "Town") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, which collectively
comprise the Town's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 22,
2011. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Town's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Town's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Town's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or
report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there
is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Town's financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Town's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not
be prevented or detected by the Town's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town's financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Town Council, and
federal and state awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
