social standpoint. She stated concerns regarding current decisions after the recent PSAT
test, the quarantine of a large number of students over a single positive case was not in

without properly social distancing.

believed that based on medical science, Westlake Academy could successfully re-open.

SUMMARY
A "Request for Proposal" was published in the newspaper May 9 and May 16, 2021, and posted
on the Town's website May 7, 2021, with sealed proposals to be received by May 31, 2021. We
received two (2)proposals to perform the Town's audits from Patillo,Brown&Hill,LLP (PB&H)
and Weaver & Tidwell, LLP (Weaver). An approved AICPA Audit Proposal Evaluation MatriX
was used in the awarding this bid. The local firm of Weaver and Tidwell, LLP (Weaver) scored
higher using the evaluation tool taking into effect many valuable aspects needed in an auditing
firm and the best value for the Town of Westlake. While Weaver allocated more hours to the audit,
the lowest proposal in cost was from Patillo Brown and Hill, LLP (PB&H). However, please see
the attached Proposal Evaluation Matrix for reasoning behind the scoring.
PB&H did not submit the required Fom 1295 as requested. Several staff inembers assigned to the
Town's audit in both firms have reviewed audits submitted to the GFOA Certificate of
Achievement program and will be helpful in implementing any new ideas and giving constructive
feedback regarding our award submittals. Weaver's schedule was preferred over PB&H especially
regarding the timing of the first few sections of the audit: planning & risk assessment and
fieldwork. PB&H schedule appeared to be very compressed. Please see the attached analysis for
more details regarding the selection of a firm.

authority possessed by cities, counties or other local governments. NCTCOG's decisions are not
binding on member governments, but are considered and adopted as members' needs require.
The Town of Westlake has partnered with the NCTCOG on several occasions, however, we have
not been a member city with the organization. Being a member city allows one of our elected or
appointed officials to participate in the General Assembly where they elect officers and directors
to the NCTCOG Executive Board. Membership also contains perks of discounted membership
pricing on publications, services and products NCTCOG may offer.
Dues for cities under 2,000 in popualtion are $100 per year.

BYLAWS (REVISED) OF THE
North Central Texas Council of Governments
2018
* * * * * *
INTRODUCTION
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is the regional planning commission
for the 16-county Texas State Planning Region 4 comprising Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Erath,
Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant and
Wise counties. NCTCOG is a Texas political subdivision and non-profit corporation organized and
operating under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 391.
STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES
1. The underlying concept of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (hereinafter
referred to as the Council) is that the general purpose units of government, which are
closest to the people, should exercise the basic initiative and leadership and have the
primary responsibility for dealing with those problems and needs which require action on
an areawide or regional basis.
2. The physical, economic, and social well-being of the region, its citizens and business
enterprises, now and in the future, are dependent upon an orderly development of the
entire region. This will be possible only with the successful coordination of governmental
services and policies.
3. Counties and cities are the principal units of local government in the region. As such, they
have the responsibility for anticipating and meeting the local governmental needs which
future development will produce, including the need for joint and coordinated areawide
services.
4. County and city governing bodies are, and should continue to be, the top policy makers in
local government. They are directly concerned with all services and regulations affecting
the public in their communities.
5. Constructive and workable policies and programs for meeting and solving the areawide
problems of local government will be most effectively and expeditiously developed by
regular meetings of governmental unit members in an areawide voluntary council
dedicated to the solution of these problems.
6. The Council is an organization through which individual governmental units can coordinate
their efforts. It is not in itself a government nor does it seek to become one.
7. The Council shall consider such matters as are areawide or regional in nature or as
requested by or deemed beneficial to its member governments.

graduation requirement. The Texas Education Agency has provided a series of waivers to Local
Education Agencies, LEAs, and Charter Schools to eXempt 2021 Seniors from certain graduation
requirements including the CPR training.
Page 1 of 2
The CPR training requirement was enacted in 2013 and Westlake Academy has conducted this
training as required. When we first offered the training to our students, it was facilitated by an
Academy teacher who was a CPR trainer. Shortly thereafter, the Academy partnered with the
Westlake Fire Department and they began providing the training for our students.
Westlake Academy is seeking approval to submit the Waiver from the CPR instruction
requirement due to COVID-19.

SUMMARY
The Town's current Adopted Capital Improvement Plan (2020-2024) was approved in
2019 with the Town Budget. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) presents the Town's plan far
infrastructure development and improvements and is evaluated annually by the Town leadership
to determine the financial availability of resources for design, construction, operations, and
maintenance. Balancing these priorities, while at the same time being cognizant of the fiscal
challenges of our Town, continues to be a priority for our staff team and elected officials. The CIP
provides a comprehensive plan of capital improvements that are to be undertaken by the Town
over the next five (5) years. Cost estimates and financing methods for the improvements are
included and are referenced by individual project. The development of the CIP is one of the more
compleX and multi-faceted processes of the Town. Striking a balance between the needs and
interests of the residents and our financial capacity is a challenging proposition.
The COVID pandemic outbreak last year impacted our CIP as we saw a decline in
revenues, constrained resource logistics, and a retriction of Town staff's interaction with
contractors. The CIP for the remainder of FY 2020 was significantly diminished and projects
listed for FY 2021 have been re-evaluated to consider funding options.
Page 1 of 3
The FY 2021-2025 CIP presented at the June 17th Council/BOT retreat represents staff's
reassessment of the current CIP, future needs, and funding sources. The proposed CIP includes
approximately $3.4M for public infrastructure projects to be funded through the issuance of
Certificate of Obligation Bonds.
Based on "non-certified" tax rolls and staff's preliminary evaluation of the Town's ad
valorem revenue for the proposed FY 2022 budget, the proposed CIP debt could be absorbed in
the current ad valorem revenue, meaning the issusance would not require an increase to the ad
valarem rate. Staff will review this assumption when the"certified"taX rolls are provided for final
analysis for Council's consideration at the August 23rd Council meeting.
If Council desires to preserve the Town's right to consider issuance of the Certificates of
Obligaiton to finance the proposed projects in the FY 21-25 CIP,the Town would need to approve
the Resolution 21-23 Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates of Obligation. This publication does
not obligate the Town to issue debt, rather it only preserves the Town's option to consider the
issuance of debt at the August 23rd meeting.
The proposed Notice of Intent Resolution is a companion document to the proposed
Reimbursement Resolution, 21-24, that is also presented for Council's consideration.
If Council desires to approve Resolution 21-23 for Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates
of Obligation, staff would recommend the approval of the proposed companion Reimbursement
Resolution, 21-24.
If the Council does not wish to approve Resolution 21-23 for the Notice of Intention to
Issue Certificates of Obligation, staff would recommend rejecting the proposed companion
Reimbursement Resolution, 21-24.
The estimated combined principal and interest required to pay the Certificates on time and
in full is $4,405,706, and is based on an assumed interest rate of approXimately 2.75%. Market
conditions affecting interest rates vary based on a number of factors beyond the control of the
Town, and the Town cannot and does not guarantee a particular interest rate associated with the
Certificates. The aggregate principal amount outstanding of tax-supported debt obligations of the
Town is $31,684,000. Based on the Town's eXpectations, the combined principal and interest
required to pay all of the outstanding tax-supported debt obligations of the Town on time and in
full is $43,511,990.

SUMMARY
The applicant and subject property owner,Pearson 35 Opportunities, LLC, is requesting to amend
the preliminary site evaluation (PSE) for Spencer Ranch (now called Westlake Ranch) approved
by the Town Council as Resolution 19-31 on September 30, 2019. The amendment is requested

Unlike the final plat, the PSE is not recorded with the County Clerk and is intended to allow
evaluation of the proposed development for conformity with applicable requirements, plans,
policies and conditions prior to the submission of the final plat.
Once the PSE amendment is approved, the next steps include:
• Submission and review of civil grading and construction plans and landscape plans;
• Amendments to the economic development and development agreements;
• Notice to proceed for construction of all development improvements and amenities;
• Approval of final plat and final approval of architectural guidelines and CC&R's;
• Final acceptance of all public and private improvements;
