5. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE PERSONAL PROJECT.
Executive Director Dr. Mechelle Bryson presented this item. She began by stating that
TC/BOT Minutes – 04/05/21 Page 3 of 8
Westlake Academy’s mission is to provide students with an internationally minded
education of the highest quality, so they are well-balanced lifelong learners. Aligned with
WA’s mission is the vision of the campus. Westlake Academy’s vision is to inspire
college-bound students to achieve their highest individual potential in a nurturing
environment that fosters the traits found in the IB Learner Profile.
Within the scope of accomplishing the mission and vision of Westlake Academy, the
school utilizes capstone projects in each IB programme as a vehicle to provide
opportunities for students to develop, implement, and put into practice the various
components of their IB world education. In May, IB Coordinators will present to the
Board of Trustees examples that span across the Academy’s IB programmes illustrating
the power of these capstone projects for students. These capstone projects are multifaceted and serve as a culminating academic experience for our students that allow
them to demonstrate mastery of the IB Approaches to Learning, ATLs, along with their
development of the IB Learner Profile. It also provides students an opportunity to
consolidate their learning and illustrate it in meaningful ways.
This presentation is designed to highlight one of our students who has gained notoriety
based on the work that she has done with her personal project. One student has written and published a book on the topic of dyslexia. This book that is based on this student’s
personal journey as a student with dyslexia. The purpose this book is to inspire those
struggling with dyslexia to realize that there are others with similar struggles and to
inspire the reader to discover their own talents and strengths.
This student’s personal project was praised by the Board of Trustees.
6. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE WESTLAKE ACADEMY
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY.
Executive Director Dr. Mechelle Bryson presented this item. She noted that the Academic
Honesty policy was brought to the Board of Trustees at the December 7, 2020 Board of
Trustees meeting, the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT), engaged in a dialogue with
the Board of Trustees about the role of academic integrity at the Academy. This
presentation and discussion led to questions about the ILT’s approach to consequences
for academic dishonesty. In the interim, the ILT has meet several times to discuss this
issue and to revise Westlake Academy’s policy and the name has been changed to the “Academic Integrity Policy”. In doing so, the Academy has taken a developmentally
responsive approach throughout the Academy’s IB continuum.
In addition, teachers and students have the responsibility to help ensure that all students
have an equal opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquire during
their studies and to continue this responsibility as a “lifelong learner” in post-secondary
education and their future careers. All members of Westlake Academy IB community must
strive to be principled, acting with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness
and justice, displaying respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. In
exhibiting integrity, students must embrace these principles and standards established by
the IBO and Westlake Academy.
Dr. Bryson then stated that that this is a progressive policy that would teach students how
to act with integrity and honor. Dr. Bryson then asked PYP Principal Mr. Rod Harding and
TC/BOT Minutes – 04/05/21 Page 4 of 8
PYP Coordinator Alison Schneider to address the Board regarding the PYP programme.
Mr. Harding began by stating that this policy is reviewed each year by staff and is a
working document that builds on the planning from previous years that is inclusive of the
traits of the International Baccalaureate (IB) leaner profile. Ms. Schneider stated that this
policy begins with how students are learning, beginning in kindergarten. This approach
helps to prepare students as they progress into upper grades. Mr. Harding then explained
the consequences of infractions under this policy, based on the number of infractions.
MYP Principle Kylene Rudd then addressed the Board. She stated that the MYP portion of
this policy builds on the foundation of the PYP programme using a developmentally and
responsive approach that builds throughout the grade levels. Mrs. Rudd then asked MYP
Coordinator Terri Watson to present to the Board. Mrs. Watson began by showing the elements of academic integrity according to the appropriateness in each grade level. She
stated that this alignment should add consistency and clarity to each student and grade
level.
Mrs. Rudd then explained to then explained the consequences of infractions under this
policy, based on the number of infractions. She noted that interventions would be used
for students to learn from their mistakes; based on the individual needs of the student. The skills would be explicitly taught in order for students to fully understand fully the
expectations that would be required under the policy.
DP Principal Dr. James Owen then addressed the Board regarding the DP programme. He
began by stating that there would be an advisory meeting at the beginning of the year
that would explain the aspects and responsibilities of the Acedemic Integrity policy, which
are aligned with the IB learner profile. This would include definitions and examples of
academic dishonesty, and the roles of students and teachers. He stated that students
would also sign an Acedemic Honesty Pledge. He explained how academic dishonesty
would be determined, and would be based on very clear standards that have been
published by the IB. Dr. Owen then explained the consequences of infractions under this
policy, which were consistent with those in the PYP and MYP programmes.
Dr. Bryson stated that the conversations that have occurred with developing this policy
have helped with the vertical alignment of the academic programmes. President Wheat
then thanked Dr. Bryson and her team for their hard work on this policy.
7. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE WESTLAKE ACADEMY
ATHLETIC PROGRAM.
Athletic Director Mr. Burt addressed the Board. He began by stating that it has been
several years since an update has been given on the Westlake Academy Athletic Program,
and changes would be coming in the near future. He showed a slide illustrating the
growth of the athletic program over the last twelve (12) years, which now includes 37
(thirty-seven) teams in total and ten (10) varsity teams. Participation rates were also
shown from the 2014 athletic program expansion. He noted that he would like to see
higher participation rates in the future, and some opportunities may be missed by not
having the minimum number of players on a team. This could be attributed to many
students playing “club” sports, which disallows them from playing for their school. This has occurred mostly in volleyball.
TC/BOT Minutes – 04/05/21 Page 5 of 8
Participation in football basketball was lower in the past year due to COVID-19.
Participation in soccer has also declined due to the nature of co-ed participation. Cross-
country track and softball participation has also declined. In the basketball program,
participation has declined at the junior high level due to COVID-19. Mr. Burt then then
stated that the alarming statistic was the reduced number of girls who were participating
in sports. This was attributed to several factors, including the popularity of beach
volleyball and opportunities to play Lacrosse. In baseball, participation has remained
steady, although there are fewer younger players signing up for the program.
Participation in tennis and golf has remained steady. Cross-country track participation has
declined primarily due to the time of year that it occurs in the spring as more students are
choosing to prepare for college testing.
Regarding league opportunities, the only viable option would be to change to UIL
(University Interscholastic League). The UIL requires schools of with 320 or more
students in grades 8-12 to play 11-Man Football. This would require a change from the 6-
Man football in the current program. The junior high teams would remain 6-man teams
and will require Westlake Academy to find schools that willing to play. The UIL requires
all coaches to be full-time employees, and most of our coaches are currently part-time. Changing to the UIL league would require a significant financial investment. This would
include additional costs for facility rentals, transportation costs, and changing part-time
employees to full-time employees.
8. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE WESTLAKE ACADEMY
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DASHBOARD REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 2021.
Finance Director Ginger Awtry presented this item. She presented several slides to the
Town Council/Board of Trustees. She began by stating that Ms. Marlene Rutledge
recently earned her MBA degree, and her title has been changed to Academic Finance
Manager. Ms. Awtry then stated that the Town was currently in a good financial position,
with revenues exceeding projections and expenditures lower than projected. Ms. Awtry
then asked Ms. Marlene Rutledge to give a brief explanation of the revenue and
expenditures that were shown on the report. Mayor Wheat stated that she had no
questions and commended the Finance Department for doing a great job.
9. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC,
INCLUDING UPDATES AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON MUNICIPAL AND ACADEMIC OPERATIONS.
Deputy Town Manager Noah Simon presented this item. He began by stating that the
good news was that the COVID response team had not been as busy as they had been
during the holiday season. Although there have been a handful of positive cases over the
last 30-45 days, the seating charts have not been necessary to implement at this time.
The COVID response team continues to meet on a regular basis and have been primarily focused on where employees can receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Mr. Simon noted that
many employees have received the vaccine as of this date, and staff remains in frequent
contact with Tarrant and Denton County Public Health Departments. Mr. Simon then
noted that staff was monitoring the COVID variants very carefully.

a charter school must live in the approved geographic boundary of the school, in a
grade level that the school is approved to serve, and whose enrollment does not cause the school to exceed the school’s approved maximum enrollment capacity. A student who has been approved for admission to Westlake Academy must complete
the enrollment process. An admitted student who does not complete the enrollment
process and/or is not in attendance on the first day of school is considered a “no show” and will be administratively withdrawn from attendance at Westlake Academy. Any student who is classified as a “no show” may re-enroll within the first 10 days of
instruction by contacting Westlake Academy, completing the enrollment process, and
being present for class after completing enrollment procedures. After the 10th day of
Resolution WA 21-21 Page 4 of 4
instruction, a student identified as a “no show” will forfeit the student’s admitted status and will not be eligible to enroll in the Academy unless the student submits a new application for admission and is accepted in accordance with the Academy’s admission
procedures. A student who is unable to enroll or attend class during the first 10 days of
instruction due to extenuating circumstances may appeal the student’s administrative withdrawal from Westlake Academy by submitting a request for appeal in writing to the Academy registrar. Such appeals will be considered using the procedures for parent and student complaints.
Westlake Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or immigration status in its programs and activities and provides equal access to academic and extra-curricular activities.
A parent or guardian wishing to withdraw a minor student shall present a signed
statement that includes the reason for the withdrawal. A student who is 18 or older may
submit a withdrawal statement without a parent’s or guardian’s signature.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Vision, Value, Mission Perspective Strategic Theme & Results Outcome Objective
Fiscal Responsibility Fiscal Stewardship
Exemplary Service & Governance - We set the standard by delivering unparalleled municipal and educational services at the lowest cost.
Increase Transparency, Accessibility & Communications
SUMMARY The proposed budget was carefully prepared through the collective efforts of all departments to
balance the identified needs of the Town with a sustainable and sound financial plan. The ongoing
COVID-19 public health crisis continues to present unique challenges in this upcoming fiscal year
once again. While progress has been seen in many levels of economic recovery, the total budget
and the economic impacts on businesses and local governments remain unknown. Therefore, Town
staff recommends keeping a conservative control on spending while responsibly moving ahead
with the progress and needs of our growing community by:
Page 2 of 4
Maintaining intense scrutiny of departmental budget expenditures;
Limiting staff replacement, and one new position only, for essential service delivery;
Increasing transfers to conduit funds for responsible planning; and,
Funding necessary postponed and/or planned capital projects.
The FY 2021-22 budget continues to support initiatives for service delivery and our ongoing
commitment to community and organizational excellence. In adherence to our fiscal policies, the
budget will be monitored monthly and regular updates will be provided to Town Council in order
to respond responsibly. The budget is intended to be remain adaptable given the ongoing pandemic
and the unknown long-term fiscal impacts of it.
The budget contains fund expenditures in the following amounts:
General Fund $ 14,070,731
General Maintenance & Replacement Fund 1,291,287
General Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund 163,000
Cemetery Fund 24,026
Utility Fund 5,989,442
Utility Maintenance & Replacement Fund 514,000
Utility Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund 65,000
Visitors Association Fund 841,199
4B Economic Development Fund 1,500,000
Economic Development Fund 28,000
Local Public Improvement District Fund 12,100
Debt Service Fund (Property Tax) 1,243,736
Debt Service Fund 1,624,852
Capital Project Fund 2,991,720
Westlake Academy 9,432,983
$ 39,792,076
This budget will raise more revenue from property taxes than last year’s budget by an amount of $166,978, which is a 6.39 percent increase from last year’s budget. The property tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year is $177,235.
The rise in our property values (by an approximate 9.74% increase) does correlate to the calculation of the No-New-Revenue rate ($0.16746/$100). Thus, this is considered a tax increase since there is a difference of $0.00042/$100 from our current/proposed rate of $0.16788/$100 value.
Town staff is recommending we maintain the same ad valorem rate and not raise our total property tax rate. However, adjustments were made to the individual M&O and I&S rates noted below.
Page 3 of 4
The ad valorem tax rate proposed in the FY 2021-22 Budget compared to the rates adopted for FY 2020-2021 is as follows:
FY 20-21 FY 21-22 Adopted Proposed Tax Rate Tax Rate Variance M&O $0.12490 $0.10284 $ 0.02206 I&S $0.04298 $0.06504 $(0.02206)
$0.16788 $0.16788 $ 0.00000 The Public Hearing being held this evening has been advertised in the newspaper as required by law plus added even earlier than required to our home page of the Town’s website, emailed to residents via Westlake Wire and posted on the Town’s social media accounts to reach as many
residents and stakeholders as possible. Additionally, please note that with the annual approval of the budget, Council is also approving the Investment Policy, Pay Plan Policy, Fiscal and Budgetary Policies, Restricted, Committed and Assigned Fund Balances, and provides authorization to the Town Manger to approve appropriated
funds up to $50,000. This year, there is one change being made to the Fiscal and Budgetary Policies in Section I - Fund Balance/Retained Earnings, Subsection D - General Fund Balance Specifically. The words (and those in red below) of “pandemic, epidemic, or quarantine” are being added to the first priority
listed (re: emergencies) relating to the order excess fund balance may be spent over the 180-day minimum, with Council approval. Fiscal and Budgetary Policies, Section I. D., citing only the subsection description and first bullet, will now read as follows: D. General Fund Balance Specifically- Amounts of the General Fund’s Fund Balance above the 180-day minimum in the General Fund may, with Council approval, be used for the following in descending order of priority: • Emergencies, and their related response and/or necessary repairs to major equipment failure or damage, such as a natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, or quarantine. COUNCIL ACTION/OPTIONS
Council must first conduct and close the Public Hearing, followed by Council discussion as needed; next, approve or deny the related ordinance regarding this necessary action, providing
feedback to Staff as desired.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommendation is to adopt the FY 2021-22 municipal budget and related policies as proposed and approve the Revised FY 2020-21 budget, after holding the Public Hearing.

September 13, 2021
Honorable Mayor and Town Council:
In accordance with the Texas Local Government Code, I am pleased to submit the adopted budget for
the Town of Westlake Fiscal Year 2021-2022 (FY 2022). The fiscal year begins October 1, 2021 and
ends September 30, 2022.
This proposed budget was carefully prepared through the collective efforts of all departments to
balance the identified needs of the Town with a sustainable and sound financial plan. The proposed
budget is focused on achieving the following goals:
Meeting resident expectations;
Continuing high quality services and responsive customer service;
Retaining and attracting employees who support the community’s vision;
Working with developers to create distinctive residential and commercial opportunities; and
Building on our strong corporate partnerships.
BUDGET STRATEGIES
The proposed budget is influenced by the following systems: The Town’s Strategic Plan, the
Comprehensive Plan, Council direction, Fiscal & Budgetary policies, recommendations from the Town
Manager, Government Finance Officers Association guidelines, and general budget principles.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The organization utilizes the concepts found within the Balanced Scorecard system to ensure we focus
on the four main areas that will lead to the success of our organization.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan provides a vision for the future of the Town and the priorities for the
community as it relates to a variety of plan elements that help determine land use, mobility, parks,
open space, housing, economic development, storm water management, and water conservation.
Investment in our People, Facilities, and Technology for Exceptional Service Delivery
Review and Oversight of our Municipal and Academic Operations
Conservative Approach to Financial Stewardship
Quality of Life for our Citizens, Students, and Stakeholders
11
TOWN COUNCIL POLICIES & PRIORITIES
The Town Council’s stated focus for the coming fiscal year are as follows:
Oversight of development projects to ensure we continue meeting our strategic theme of
“High Quality Planning, Design, & Development”;
Investment in Westlake Academy to provide our students with a school environment that
supports our strategic theme of “IB Education for All: Preparing Students to Thrive in a Global
Society”; and
Continued support of public safety efforts to reach our strategic objective of “Preserving
Desirability & Quality of Life” for our residents.
FISCAL & BUDGETARY POLICIES
The Town’s fiscal and budgetary policies address the Town’s operating budgets, revenue
management, expenditure control, fund balance/retained earnings, debt management, grants,
economic development, audits, internal controls, and asset management. These policies are included
in our annual budget document for residents to review and staff to use as a guiding set of principles
each year.
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
The Town’s budget principles for sound fiscal management include:
Plan, manage, and fund debt service and related service delivery programs;
Maintain fund balance in accordance with the policy and future obligations;
Oversee facilities and infrastructure;
Provide exceptional and responsive public services; and
Provide competitive employee compensation.
PROPERTY TAX
The proposed municipal property tax rate (or ad valorem rate) will maintain the current adopted
rate of $0.16788 per $100 of assessed valuation. This rate is slightly higher this year ($0.00042) than
the no-new-revenue rate (formerly the “effective tax rate”), which is the total tax rate needed to
generate the same amount of property tax revenue for the Town from the same properties between
the 2020 tax year and the 2021 tax year.
This budget adheres to direction the Council gave to stabilize our ad valorem rate, monitor
expenditures, and direct one-time revenue to our conduit funds – Major Maintenance & Repair,
Vehicle Maintenance & Repair and Capital Improvements. These directives help ensure we plan for
the Town’s financial stability and are better prepared to meet the service delivery expectations of
our community. Our approach to both revenue estimating and expenditure requests continue to
proceed in a fiscally conservative manner without raising the rate for our property owners and still
allow Westlake the ability to exceed expectations of our residents.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND FUND SUMMARIES
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the Town’s principle operating fund. It is supported by sales and use taxes,
property (ad valorem) taxes, and other revenues. These revenues may be used for a variety of
purposes as determined by the Town Council. The General Fund budget accounts for core Town
services such as fire and emergency services, planning and development, public works, finance, and
administrative oversight.
REVENUES
Budgeted at $10,788,545. This is a slight decrease (0%) of $14,386 from prior year revised.
The largest revenue source in the General Fund is general sales and use tax revenues which are
budgeted to be $4.5M and represents 42% of the General Fund’s total revenues and sources. With
the ongoing pandemic and uncertainly of the financial impact, Staff chose to keep the projection for
the coming year flat based on an analysis of the current year’s collections trend.
The second largest revenue source is from building permits and fees charged for development
activities which are projected to be $2.57M, comprising 24% of the General Fund’s total revenues and
sources. This reflects a 37% increase of $697K when compared to prior year revised. This increase is
based on continued growth and planned development projects this upcoming fiscal year. Staff will
monitor our progress each month and bring any recommended changes to the Council for review.
The third revenue source in the proposed General Fund budget is property, or ad valorem, tax
revenues. The Maintenance and Operations (M&O) portion of the rate is budgeted to be $1.7M,
comprising 16% of the General Fund total revenues and sources. This reflects a 15% decrease of $298K
when compared to prior year revised, expected due to the proposed decrease of the M&O rate.
Lastly, the final revenue category reflected in the chart below is for All Other Revenue at 18%. This
category contains the second and final expected distribution of funds from the federal government’s
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). With the first distribution ($200K) expected before the current fiscal
year end, and the $211,733 included in the proposed budget, this revenue use is limited to
expenditures in four statutory categories:
15
• Support of public health expenditures and negative economic impacts caused by the pandemic
• Revenue replacement for specific governmental services relative to the pandemic
• Investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure
• Premium pay for essential workers
EXPENDITURES
Budgeted to be $14M in all expenditures and other uses. This reflects a 41% increase of $4.1M from
the prior year revised, with the majority of this increase from transfers out.
The largest expenditure in the proposed General Fund budget is allocated to payroll and related
benefits. This amount is budgeted to be $5.2M and comprises 37% of General Fund total expenditures
and other uses. This includes a 3% increase in payroll for municipal employees.
The second largest expenditure is operations and maintenance. This amount is budgeted at $4.8M,
comprising 34% of General Fund total expenditures and other uses. This reflects a 5% increase of
$217K when compared to prior year revised. The operations and maintenance costs consist of the
dollars necessary to provide our public services.
The third type of expenditure is transfers out. This amount is budgeted at $4M. This is a 3.9M increase of
prior year and consists of a transfer out to the General Maintenance and Replacement Fund, Vehicle
Maintenance and Replacement Fund, Visitor Association Fund, and Capital Project Funds.

CLOSING
In summary, the continuing COVID-19 public health event will be a factor in our operational planning
for this fiscal year. We were hopeful that with the reduced case count and other indicators of the
pandemic showing positive improvement over the summer months, we would move into this next
year without the need to include this as prominently in our operational plans. Many of our corporate
citizens have opted to delay their return to the physical campuses in Westlake into this fiscal year. We
will work with our corporate partners, Fidelity Investments, Deloitte University, Charles Schwab, etc.,
to be of assistance should they need municipal support. Town staff will also continue to:
Review departmental budget expenditures and delay purchases where needed; and,
Limit staff replacement or new positions for service delivery; and,
Increase transfers to conduit funds for responsible planning; and,
Monitor postponed and planned capital projects.
In adherence to our fiscal policies, the budget will continue to be monitored monthly and regular
updates will be provided to the Town Council. The budget is intended to be adaptable given the
unfamiliar long-term fiscal impact of the pandemic and other service delivery needs that may arise
within our community.
We are very fortunate to work alongside a team of professionals in our academic and municipal areas
and to serve with a Town Council who is committed to successful governance policies. One of the
words I have heard used most over the past 12-months in our organization is that of ‘family’. We have
created a community centered around family, an organization that works hard for our community and
creates relationships you would find in a family, and we are blessed to serve a group of elected leaders
who are focused on family. We have weathered many unforeseen events through the pandemic and I
would like to thank you all for your support and assistance. We are truly Distinctive by Design and are
proud to be a part of creating such a wonderful place.
Respectfully submitted,
Amanda DeGan
Town Manager/Superintendent

PROPERTY TAX OVERVIEW
The municipal property tax rate (or ad valorem rate) proposed will maintain the current adopted
rate of $0.16788 per $100 of assessed valuation.
The tax rate is the no-new-revenue tax rate (formerly the effective tax rate). This rate is slightly
higher this year ($0.00042) than the no-new-revenue rate, which is the total tax rate needed to raise
the same amount of property tax revenue for the Town from the same properties between the 2020
tax year and the 2021 tax year.
Town of Westlake Property Tax Revenue from FY11/12 – FY21/22 proposed.
This budget will raise more revenue from property taxes than last year’s budget by an amount of
$166,978, which is a 6.39% percent increase from last year’s budget. The property tax revenue to
be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year is $177,235.
The Town of Westlake will comply with all truth in taxation laws to protect the public’s right-to-know
about tax rate decisions.
ALLOCATION
Property tax is the third largest revenue source in the General Fund. This tax is allocated between
Maintenance and Operations (M&O) in the General Fund and Interest and Sinking (I&S) in the Debt
Service fund for the Town.
M&O: The M&O is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the Town
levied in the prior year plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such
thing as utilities and day-to-day operations.

APPRAISED VALUE vs. TAXABLE VALUE
The Town of Westlake’s property values have increased over time. The difference between the
appraised value and the taxable value are the Town’s homestead and other exemptions.
This graph shows the historical appraised and taxable value of the Town of Westlake from FY16/17 to FY21/22.
EXEMPTIONS & PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION
The Town of Westlake offer the following exemptions and property tax reduction programs to its residents:
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION
It is the intent of the Town Council of the Town of Westlake to adopt the highest possible homestead
exemption, which would be a homestead exemption in the amount of twenty percent (20%) of the value
of the homestead, and in any event, the exemption shall be at least a minimum of Five Thousand dollars
($5,000).
ADDITIONAL 65+ or DISABLED EXEMPTION
A $10,000 exemption on the taxable value of homes of 65+ or disabled residents. (This is one or the other,
not both).
HOMESTEAD TAX CEILING, OR TAX FREEZE (for 65+ or disabled)
This exemption limits the total amount of taxes residents who are 65+ or disabled pay so that their future
years’ taxes will not increase beyond what they currently pay upon qualification. Any resident that was 65
or disabled when the Town increased its zero, or 0%, ad valorem rate in 2010, did not pay any municipal
ad valorem taxes for the 2009 tax year due to this tax ceiling. After the 2010 tax levy, persons over 65 or
disabled with a Westlake residence homestead can freeze their municipal tax levy in the tax year of
qualification for the tax ceiling exemption, or tax freeze, and their municipal ad valorem taxes will remain
fixed at that amount. Additionally, they will not pay more but could potentially pay less if taxes are lowered.

PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION
The residents of Westlake voted to abolish the ½% additional sales and use tax for economic and industrial
development, Section 4A, and to implement the ½% local sales and use tax to be used to reduce the
property tax rate effective October 1, 2006. Prior year’s sales tax revenues are used in calculating the
current tax rates based on the State Comptroller’s Truth and Taxation process. Calculations of Westlake’s
tax rate take these revenues into consideration every year.

example, a position staffed for 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year (2,080 hours) equals one
full-time equivalent position. For firefighter/paramedic positions, an FTE is based on 2,912 hours
per year, or an average of 56 hours per week is used. A FTE position of .50 refers to a position that
is funded for 1,040 hours per year (2,080 x .50). The personnel count includes vacant positions.
STAFFING LEVEL CHANGES
In FY 2022, three firefighter positions will be reclassed to Driver positions upon completion of the
required certifications. Additionally, the Town also has three vacant positions that are to be fill in
the coming fiscal year.

The Town of Westlake believes that market-based salary, in combination with employee
competence and their overall contribution to the Town’s success, should largely determine their
compensation and career advancement opportunities. The goal of the compensation plan is to
attract and retain top talent and utilize best practices in all systems and processes supporting the
plan.
Salary adjustments will be made in order to remain competitive, retain talent, and reward
outstanding performance. Pay increases may occur due to market adjustments, or through
performance pay. All forms of compensation are subject to Town Manager approval and
available funding appropriated on an annual basis by the Town Council.
MARKET ADJUSTMENTS
The Town conducts a biannual market salary study. Depending on the results of the market study,
and if funds are available, all or some of the salary bands will be proposed to the Town Council for
adjustment.
Proposed adjustments to any pay band will not be proposed unless the market study indicates
bands have increased by 2.5% or more. Employee salaries may receive a market adjustment if
their current salary has shifted to become less than 97.5% of the market average. If any market
adjustment is approved, all pay ranges and steps will be adjusted accordingly on the first day of
the fiscal year. This does not include the Town Manager, whose compensation is determined by
the Town Council.
PERFORMANCE PAY
On-going performance pay may be awarded to individuals or teams who, as determined in their
performance evaluation, have clearly gone “above and beyond” their traditional roles, job duties,
and assignments over the evaluation period. Performance pay is awarded through the review
process and the established criteria outlined by the HR Department.
One-time performance pay may be offered to employees or teams who, based on performance
evaluation, have been determined to have gone “above and beyond” expectations. One-time
performance pay is a lump-sum, one-time payment, and will not impact the base pay of the
employee and will not move their pay within their position’s assigned band. All performance pay,
whether on-going or one-time adjustments, is dependent upon the availability of financial
resources.

LONG-TERM PLANNING
Long-term planning is a key component of Town’s financial principles. Without proper planning, multi-
year sustainability would not be attainable. To maximize the benefit of long-term planning, Council has
established the following goals:
Sustain existing programs at high service levels.
Maintain a healthy General Fund balance of at least 180 operating days annually.
Maintain competitive employee compensation within 3% of the median for the market.
Provide adequate and stable funding for street and facility maintenance projects.
Long-term planning ensures Council has time to strategize a course for the Town in both the short and
long-term.
FORECASTING
The Town develops a financial forecast by assessing key revenue and expenditure drivers. Key revenue
forecasts are based on projected development projects and data driven assessments of the local,
regional, state and national economy. Key expenditure forecasts are based on the goods and service
needs of the Town, useful life of major assets, and the operational impact of projects or programs.
Key revenues and expenditures are monitored quarterly and annually to identify financial trends,
shortfalls, and potential issues so that they can be addressed proactively. Forecasting is essential to
budgeting and multi-year planning as it allows Council to make informed decisions about the Town’s
financial health and strategic goals.
LONG-TERM PLAN
The Town’s long-term plan is depicted in the five-year financial forecast for all municipal funds and the
five-year Capital Improvement Plan.

GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW
The General Fund is the Town’s principal operating fund. It is supported by sales and use taxes,
property (ad valorem) taxes, planning and development fees, and other revenues. These revenues
may be used for a variety of purposes as determined by the Town Council. The General Fund budget
accounts for core Town services such as fire and emergency services, planning and development,
public works, finance, and administrative oversight.
REVENUES
Budgeted at $10,788,545. This is a slight decrease of $14,836 from prior year revised.
The largest revenue source in the General Fund is general sales and use tax revenues which is budgeted
to be $4.5M and represents 42% of the General Fund’s total revenues and sources. This remained flat
when compared to prior year revised, based on slow economic recovery and ongoing impact of COVID-
19.
The second largest revenue source is from building permits and fees charged for development
activities which are budgeted to be $2.567M, comprising 24% of the General Fund’s total revenues
and sources. This reflects a 37% increase of $697K when compared to prior year revised. This increase
is based on continued growth and planned development projects this upcoming fiscal year.
The third relatively largest revenue source in the proposed General Fund budget is property tax (or ad
valorem) revenues. The Maintenance and Operations (M&O) portion of the rate is budgeted to be
$1.7M, comprising 16% of the General Fund total revenues and sources. This reflects a 15% decrease
of $297K when compared to prior year revised, expected due to the decrease of the M&O rate this
year.
Lastly, the final revenue category reflected in the chart below is for All Other Revenue at 18%. This
category contains the second and final expected distribution of funds from the federal government’s
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). With the first distribution ($200K) expected before the current fiscal
year end, and the $211,733 included in the proposed budget, this ARPA revenue use is limited to
expenditures in four statutory categories:
• Support of public health expenditures and negative economic impacts caused by the pandemic
• Revenue replacement for specific governmental services relative to the pandemic
• Investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure
• Premium pay for essential workers
51
EXPENDITURES
Budgeted to be $14M in all expenditures and other uses. This reflects a 41% increase of $4.1M from
the prior year revised, with the majority of this increase from transfers out.
The largest expenditure in the proposed General Fund budget is allocated to payroll and related
benefits. This amount is budgeted to be $5.2M and comprises 37% of General Fund total expenditures
and other uses. This includes a 3% increase for municipal employees.
The second largest expenditure is operations and maintenance. This amount is budgeted at $4.8M,
comprising 34% of General Fund total expenditures and other uses. This reflects a 5% increase of
$217K when compared to prior year revised. The operations and maintenance costs consist of the
dollars necessary to provide public services.
The third type of expenditure is transfers out. This amount is budgeted at $4M. This is a $3.9M increase of
prior year revised. This expenditure consists of a transfer out to the General Maintenance and Replacement
Fund, Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund, Visitor Association Fund, and Capital Project Funds.

UTILITY FUND 500 OVERVIEW
The Utility Fund accounts for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of water, sewer, and trash
services. This fund is primarily supported by service charges to utility (water and sewer) customers.
The intent of this fund is for the direct beneficiaries to pay for all costs of the fund, including debt
service for utility system improvement bonds, through fees for service.
FUND HIGHLIGHTS
REVENUE
Budgeted to be $5,712,891. This is a 1% decrease of $42,277 from the prior year revised. The decrease
in revenue is a result of the following:
Charge for Service revenue is projected to decrease by $121,677. Utility rates for water will
remain the same while sewer rates are proposed to increase in January 2022 due to
underperforming sewer revenue per rate study from an independent rate analyst.
Permits & Fees – Utility revenue is projected to increase by $74,400. This change in revenue is
due to the Trinity River Authority wastewater settle-up and duct bank permit fees.
Investment Earnings are projected to increase $5,000 due to new interest rates.
Miscellaneous income is projected to stay consistent due to cross connection fees.
EXPENSES
Budgeted to be $5,989,442. This is a 20% increase of $990,673 from prior year revised. The increase in
expenses is a result of the following:
Increase of $732K from prior year revised for anticipated debt service payments due to
Hillwood Contract.
Increased rent and utilities for town hall ($2,969).
$7,000 decrease in water, sewer, and pump station repair costs.
$200,412 increase in transfers out. This includes: $5K to the Utility Vehicle Maintenance and
Replacement Fund 505, decrease of $124K to the General Fund for Impact Fees, and $320K to
Utility Maintenance and Replacement Fund 510.
WORKING CAPITAL
The Utility Fund is projected to have an ending working capital of $5,910,023. This is a 4% decrease of
$276,551 from prior year revised.
59
CEMETERY FUND 255 OVERVIEW
The Cemetery Fund includes all operations associated with the 5.5-acre cemetery located on JT
Ottinger Road. In FY 08/09, the cemetery was donated and conveyed by deed to the Town. This
fund accounts for operational activities such as interment, lot sales, record keeping, and
maintenance (grounds, fences, trees and flower beds).
FUND HIGHLIGHTS
REVENUES
Budgeted at $11,125. This is a 58% decrease of $15,200 from prior year revised. The decrease in
revenue is due to a projected $15,200 decrease in cemetery section sales.
EXPENSES
Budgeted at $24,026. This is a 22% increase of $4,300 increase from prior year revised. The increase
in expenses is a result of projected repair and maintenance.
WORKING CAPITAL
The ending working capital for the cemetery fund is projected to be $302,002. This is a 4% decrease
of $12,901 from prior year revised.

FUND HIGHLIGHTS
Internal Service Funds are comprised of the following: (1) Utility Maintenance and Replacement
Fund 510; (2) General Maintenance and Replacement Fund 600; (3) Utility Vehicle Maintenance and
Replacement Fund 505; and (4) General Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund 605.
The Maintenance and Replacement Funds provide money to plan for future facility financial
requirements. Given the size and complexity of the Town’s facility infrastructure, we will strive to
continue our practice of transferring money into these funds as economically prudent. Many of the
smaller daily maintenance efforts of the facilities are absorbed into the various operating budgets,
as appropriate. However, we recognize that it is important to have a proactive maintenance program
that addresses larger scale projects and prudently prepares for increased maintenance and repair
costs as the facilities age.
The Vehicle Replacement Fund accounts for the resources needed to manage the purchase of
vehicles and heavy equipment for the Town’s fleet. The establishment and funding of the vehicle
and heavy equipment replacement program was designed to even out expenses for the Town’s fleet
from year to year and provides a logical method for purchasing and retiring vehicles. A five-year
purchase plan has been developed to detail future capital investment needs.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are comprised of the six following funds: The 4B Economic Development
Fund 200, Economic Development Fund 210, Local Public Improvement District Fund 215, the Visitor
Association Fund 220, Public Arts Fund 225 and Lone Star Public Facilities Fund 418.
Economic Development Fund 200 is the 4B Economic Development Fund. This fund collects a half-
cent sales tax to be allocated to qualified development projects. Since FY 2006, the 4B Fund has
been committed to the repayment of the debt incurred for the Town’s Civic Campus project.
Economic Development Fund 210 is used as a pass-through based on economic development
agreements to easily identify the revenues and expenditures pertaining to the agreements.
Local Public Improvement District (PID) Fund 215 is comprised of revenues used to cover costs
attributable to Entrada development and construction.
Visitors Association Fund 220 collects a Hotel Occupancy Tax from the Marriott Solana, Deloitte,
and any future Westlake hotels. A 7% municipal tax is levied on the cost of nightly room rentals, the
maximum allowable under State law. Funds generated by the occupancy tax are generally restricted
to uses that directly promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry; however, Westlake
has broader statutory authority under State law than most cities and may spend occupancy tax funds
for any municipal purpose. Therefore, the Town uses these funds to cover various operational costs
and capital projects, including community events.
Public Arts Fund 225 accounts for contributions received for Westlake Public Arts Projects. Westlake
is pending a Public Art installation in the 1600 Block of Solana Boulevard median. This is the first in
a series of such pieces planned for the Town and will, therefore, set an artistic standard for future
works.
Lone Star Public Fund 418 was created to account for the financial activities of the Lone Star Public
Facilities Corporation. The purpose of the corporation was to “assist the Town of Westlake, Texas in
financing, refinancing, or providing public facilities.” It was anticipated that the Corporation would
issue bonds to finance the purchase or construction of public facilities, and then lease those facilities
to qualifying tenants. No bonds were ever issued. Monies in this fund were from corporate
donations that were received shortly after the fund was created.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS OVERVIEW
Town Council and staff are dedicated to a conservative pattern of debt issuance that ensures property
tax rates remain attractive to prospective businesses and residents. Prior to acquiring any debt,
alternative financing sources are evaluated. When debt is issued, it is used to acquire major assets with
expected lives which equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue.
The Town’s debt service funds are comprised of the revenue supported Debt Service Fund 300 and
property tax supported Debt Service Fund 301. Debt Service Fund 300 is used to manage payments on
all general government related debt. Debt Service Fund 301 is property tax supported debt for street
infrastructure improvements, Westlake Academy Expansion, and funding the Westlake Academy’s Arts
& Sciences Center.
DEBT SERVICE PROCESS
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Town’s debt management policies are reviewed annually and revised as necessary. The Town’s
policies address the following:
Direct Debt - debt payable from property tax (or ad valorem I&S tax), and other available funds
of the Town.
Interfund Borrowing – loans for short-term cash flow needs.
LIMITS
The Town’s only legal limit to debt is the tax rate limit.
ANALYSIS
Any consideration of debt issuance for major capital assets are prepared within the framework of a
Council approved multi-year capital improvement plan and forecast for all Town facilities and
infrastructures.
Staff explore alternative funding sources prior to the issuance of debt for capital acquisitions and
construction projects. These alternatives include, but are not limited to:
Grants-In-Aid
Use of Reserves
Use of either current on-going general revenues or one-time revenues
Contributions from developers or others
Leases
User Fees
Impact Fees.
If debt is determined as the funding source it is presented to Council for approval.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY FUND OVERVIEW
Westlake Academy is owned and operated by the Town of Westlake. It is the only municipally owned
and operated open enrollment K-12 charter school in the State of Texas. While Westlake Academy is
a department of the Town, it is its own financial reporting entity as defined by Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) in its Statement No. 14, “The Financial Reporting Entity.” Therefore, Westlake
Academy prepares its basic financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles promulgated by the GASB and other authoritative sources identified in Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 69 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The Westlake Academy Fund encompasses all teaching and extra-/co-curricular operating
expenditures as well as State public school funding, local funds, and private donations used to support
and enhance the daily operations of Westlake Academy. Westlake Academy operates under a shared
services model whereby the municipal operations team provides human resources, communications,
financial, facilities, information technology and administrative support services to the school. General
maintenance and replacement of infrastructure and equipment for the school is expensed to the
municipal budget. The shared services model is an integral part of the state charter application process,
supporting the Town’s case for having a community school. This model conserves resources and avoids
the duplication of efforts across the municipal and academic functions. For detailed information
regarding Westlake Academy’s operating budget, please visit www.westlakeacademy.org.
FUND HIGHLIGHTS
REVENUES
Budgeted at $9,371,746. This is a 3% decrease of $289,953 from prior year revised. Revenues are based
on the following underlying assumptions:
Future revenue projections are based on the student average daily attendance (ADA), which
is used to calculate the cost of public education for the next biennium. With the ongoing
pandemic, revenues are expected to remain flat for FY 2021-22 and are calculated based on
the ADA from the prior year.
Charter schools do not have taxing authority, making them reliant upon state and local funding
sources.
As an open enrollment charter school, all State funding is determined each legislative session
and channeled to Westlake Academy through the State’s Foundation School Program (FSP).
Enrollment is projected at 875 students.
The proposed allotment is projected at $154K
Municipal contributions have been discontinued
Bank Interest: Calculated at 0.50% rate
100% use of Westlake Academy Foundation (WAF) Annual Program revenues (proposed
$1.03 million).
101
EXPENDITURES
Budgeted at $9,432,983. This is a slight decrease of $20,894 from prior year revised. This decrease in
expenditures is due to allocating payroll cost to the federal ESSER III-Supplemental Grant.
The Board of Trustees approved a step increase plus 1% for Teachers, Librarians, Counselors,
& Nurses, a 2% increase for Administration, and a 3% for Admin Support-Hourly staff; a
combined total impact less than $18K.
FTE: 103.52 (1.65 increase from FY20/21).
Maintenance & Operations: $5.8K increase for janitorial services & supplies.
In accordance with Texas House Bill 3, kindergarten through 3rd grade teachers must complete
reading training. This training started in FY20/21 and will continue through FY22/23.
Administrative: $15.6K increase for general legal services.
The ESC Region 11 contract is expected to remain the same from prior year revised. This
includes the Instructional Solutions Contract for Canvas distance learning support & remote
professional development opportunities.
FUND BALANCE
The FY 21/22 projections will decrease fund balance by $61,237 for an ending unassigned fund balance
of $1,785,979. The unassigned balance represents coverage for 69 operating days.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS OVERVIEW
The Capital Projects Funds consist of the Capital Project Fund 410, Westlake Arts & Sciences Center
Fund 411, and the Westlake Academy Expansion Fund 412. Please see fund descriptions below:
Capital Project Fund 410 tracks major equipment, land, and infrastructure projects of $25,000 or
more financed with General Fund operating transfers, intergovernmental revenue, bond proceeds
and Special Revenue Fund transfers. Project completion or procurement may extend across two or
more fiscal years and reflect multiple expenditure categories such as engineering, design and
construction. Completed capital projects often have a continuing fiscal impact on the Town’s
operating funds due to routine maintenance, repair, and daily operating costs. When an ongoing
operating impact has been identified, it is included on the project description sheet, and costs are
projected for the next three years. Upon approval of the project, the ongoing fiscal impact is
integrated into the operating budget.
Westlake Academy Arts & Sciences Center Fund 411 tracks and accumulates resources to finance the
Arts and Sciences Center expansion. Westlake Academy has identified an immediate need for three
additional science labs on campus. This moves the science classrooms out of the portable buildings and
ensures students have adequate equipment, gas and water lab stations. The estimated cost of this project
is $8.6M. The funding source for the project includes WA Capital Projects that have been provided per
economic development agreements by residential developments, anonymous matching funds, and
Westlake Academy affiliates.
Westlake Academy Expansion Fund 412 tracks and accumulates resources intended to finance future
Academy expansions. In FY 12/13, approximately 8.5 million dollars of bond proceeds were used to fund
construction of three new buildings at Westlake Academy. In February of 2013, an Economic
Development Agreement was executed that requires the developer to pay $10K for lots in the Granada
subdivision and $5K for lots in the Quail Hollow subdivision. These payments are recorded in the
Economic Development Fund 210 and are transferred to the Westlake Academy Fund 412.
Individual project information sheets provide a detailed listing of projects, with prior year funding, future
funding requirements and project description. These sheets indicate when the project has multiple
sources of funding and the associated operating costs.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PLAN
113
This page is intentionally left blank.
114
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the Town’s strategy for infrastructure development and
improvement. This includes, road expansion, repairs on publicly owned buildings, and the acquisition
of new water sources. The CIP is a multi-year document that summarizes capital projects for the next
five (5) years. Each project has individual cost estimates and financing methods for improvements.
The CIP establishes the Town’s priorities and serves as a blueprint for investment in capital
infrastructure in the short and long-term.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROCESS
IDENTIFYING A NEED
The CIP process begins with identifying capital project needs based on the Town’s balanced
scorecard and comprehensive plan.
FUNDING SOURCES
Once a capital project need is identified, staff analyze potential funding sources.
There are four primary funding sources
for capital projects:
Cash Funding (revenue sources
such as sales, hotel/motel and
property taxes);
State/Federal funding (public
grants);
Private Funding
(developmental impact fees or charitable donations); and
Bond Issuance.
All funding considerations are based on collaborative discussions with stakeholders and the source of
the revenue.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Projects proposed for the CIP are reviewed, evaluated, and recommended based on the following
criteria:
The project is within the debt limitations established by state law and within a maximum
local levy debt service established by Town Council.
The project meets the established useful life criteria to be financed.
PROJECT TYPE GENERAL LIFE FINANCING
Public buildings 40 years 10 year
New road construction 40 years 10 year
Major road rehabilitation 15 years 10 year
Water, sewer & drainage 40 years 20 year
Miscellaneous items Based on asset 10 year
Local sales tax projects 10 year 15 year
WHAT IS A CAPITAL EXPENDITURE?
Any major non-recurring expenditure or expenditure for
facilities, including additions or major alterations,
construction of highways or utility lines, fixed equipment,
landscaping, or similar expenditures.
115
Highways and streets provide
safe and effective vehicular
access and efficient urban
traffic flow. This includes:
New projects that will
reduce future
maintenance
requirements; and
Good streets and roadways to serve Town facilities.
Adequate water supply is available for existing neighborhoods, planned growth and
development of the Town.
Improvements for beautification and landscaping are conducted on arterials and highways,
facilities, etc.
The CIP is balanced for all types of Town assets.
CIP PRIORITIZATION STRATEGY
The Town’s CIP prioritization strategy is to preserve, protect and plan.
Preserve the past by investing in the continued upgrade of town assets and infrastructure.
Protect the present with improvements and/or additions to facilities, roads, and capital
investments.
Plan for the future of the organization.
PRESERVE PROTECT PLAN
IMPACT TO OPERATING BUDGET
The Town’s operating budget is directly affected by the CIP budget. CIP projects can often increase or
decrease costs. CIP investments in technology or significant improvements to existing maintenance
intensive assets can reduce operating budget costs. However, new facilities and land acquisitions
typically increase operating expenditures.
Operating costs are carefully considered in deciding which projects move forward in the CIP budget.
It is typically impossible to absorb many large increases in operating costs at once; therefore,
projects are planned to prevent shocks to operating budgets. Several projects are currently included
in the adopted CIP and may have future impacts on the operating budget.
WHAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT?
Capital projects are the individual action plans that make
up a CIP. Capital projects are categorized into the
following groups: Parks & Recreation, Facilities,
Transportation, Vehicles and Utilities.
116
ADOPTION OF THE CIP
CIP recommendations are forwarded to the Town Manager and then to Town Council. Town Council
may shift, add, or delete projects in the proposed CIP. Like the operating budget, Town Council will
adopt the CIP.
FUNDED vs. UNFUNDED PROJECTS
The CIP includes funded and unfunded capital projects. Funded capital projects have been approved
and adopted by Town Council. Unfunded projects are capital needs that are subject to more
discussion. These projects may be moved to the “Funded” section of the CIP or moved out into
future years depending on the Town’s priorities, funding availability, or other considerations.
Documenting unfunded projects ensures stakeholders are aware of the Town’s capital needs so that
funding can be secured or through further evaluation eliminate the project entirely.
IMPLEMENTATION
After the CIP is adopted by Town Council, departments use the CIP as a guide for implementing
capital improvements.
BUDGETING FOR ONGOING OPERATING COSTS OF CAPITAL PROJECTS
The CIP is developed and revised with the Town’s annual operating budget. Departments provide
estimated ongoing costs for capital projects to reduce any impact to cash flow. When a project is
completed, the operating costs are included in the department’s operating budget.

TxDOT has started the construction of frontage roads and Texas U-Turns along the SH
114 corridor from FM 1938 to Dove Road. Due to the SH 114 Service Road project’s
pace and the impact to adjacent developments and Westlake residents, Jerry Hodge &
Associates, LLC has been retained to help ensure that all Westlake stakeholders are
represented in the design and construction process and the Town’s aesthetic
standards are included in the construction plans. The service road project is expected
to take approximately 24 to 36 months. The contract with Jerry Hodge & Associates is
a 12-month contract that can be extended based on TxDOT’s construction schedule.
Staff is in discussions with adjacent property owners regarding some cost participation
arrangements, Southlake has agreed to pay for all irrigation relocation cost with thier
city limits. The Solana POA will continue to provide landscape service to the
intersection of Solana/Kirkwood and SH 114.

ADA trail enchantments Solana/Sam School Rd.
The Town requests that TxDOT consider the existing 8-ft wide sidewalk as the pedestrian
accommodation in this area instead of constructing an additional sidewalk along the State
Highway 114 frontage road from Davis Blvd. to Dove Rd. This would take pedestrians
through the wooded section of the Westlake trail and open wildflower prairies. Town of
Westlake would be committed to any improvements need to ensure this 8 ft wide trail
meets all ADA standards over the next two years along Sam School Road. TxDOT has

MUNICIPAL FISCAL & BUDGETARY POLICIES
I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The overall intent of the following Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements is to enable the Town to achieve a long-term stable and positive financial condition. The watchwords of the Town’s financial management include integrity, prudence, stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure. The more specific purpose is to provide guidelines to the Town Manager and Finance Director in planning and directing the Town’s day-to-day financial affairs and in developing recommendations to the Town Manger and Town Council. The scope of these policies generally span, among other issues, accounting, purchasing, auditing, financial reporting, internal controls, operating and capital budgeting, revenue management, cash and investment management, expenditure control, asset management, debt management, and planning concepts, in order to: A. Present fairly and with full disclosure the financial position and results of the financial operations of the Town in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and B. Determine and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal and contractual issues in accordance with provisions of the Texas Local Government Code and other pertinent legal documents and mandates. The Town Council will annually review and approve the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy Statements as part of the budget process. II. SUMMARY OF POLICY INTENDED OUTCOMES This policy framework mandates pursuit of the following fiscal objectives: A. Operating Budget: Prepare, conservatively estimate revenues, present, and adopt the Town’s annual operating plan. B. Revenues Management: Design, maintain, and administer a revenue system that will assure a reliable, equitable, diversified, and sufficient revenue stream to support desired Town services. C. Expenditure Control: Identify priority services, establish appropriate service levels, and administer the expenditure of available resources to assure fiscal stability and the effective and efficient delivery of services. D. Fund Balance/Retained Earnings: Maintain the fund balance and retained earnings of the various operating funds at levels sufficient to protect the Town’s credit worthiness as well as its financial position from emergencies. E. Debt Management: Establish guidelines for debt financing that will provide needed capital equipment and infrastructure improvements while minimizing the impact of debt payments on current revenues. F. Intergovernmental Relationships: Where feasible, coordinate efforts with other governmental agencies to achieve common policy objectives, share the cost of providing governmental services on an equitable basis and support favorable legislation at the State and Federal level.
143
G. Grants: Seek, apply for and effectively administer within this policy’s guidelines, Federal, State, and foundation grants-in-aid which address the Town’s current priorities and policy objectives.
H. Economic Development: Initiate where feasible, encourage, and participate in economic development efforts to create job opportunities and strengthen the local tax base and economy I. Fiscal Monitoring: Prepare and present regular reports that analyze, evaluate, and forecast the Town’s financial performance and economic condition. J. Financial Consultants: With available resources, seek out and employ the assistance of qualified financial advisors and consultants in the management and administration of the Town’s financial functions. K. Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting: Comply with prevailing Federal, State and local statues and regulations. Conform to generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). L. Capital Improvement Plan/Budget and Program: Multi-year planning, forecasting, preparation, and control of the Town’s capital improvement plan/budget. M. Capital Maintenance and Replacement: Annually review and monitor the state of the Town’s capital equipment and infrastructure, setting priorities for its replacement and renovation based on needs, finding alternatives, and availability of resources. N. Internal Controls: To establish and maintain an internal control structure designed to provide reasonable assurances that the Town’s assets are safeguarded and that the possibilities for material errors in the Town’s financial records are minimized. III. OPERATING BUDGET A. Preparation: Budgeting is an essential element of the financial planning, control and evaluation process of municipal government. The “operating budget” is the Town’s annual financial operating plan. The budget includes all of the operating departments of the Town, the debt service fund, all capital projects funds, and the internal service funds of the Town. The proposed budget will be prepared with the cooperation of all Town departments and is submitted to the Town Manager who makes any necessary changes and transmits the document to the Town Council. A budget preparation calendar and timetable will be established and followed in accordance with State law. B. Revenue Estimates for Budgeting: In order to maintain a stable level of services, the Town shall use a conservative, objective, and analytical approach when preparing revenue estimates. The process shall include analysis of probable economic changes and their impacts on revenues, historical collection rates, and trends in revenues. This approach should reduce the likelihood of actual revenues falling short of budget estimates during the year and should avoid mid-year service reductions. C. Balanced Budget: As per State Law, current operating revenues, including Property Tax Reduction Sales Tax transfers (which can be used for operations), will be sufficient to support current operating expenditures. Annually recurring revenue will not be less than annually recurring operating budget expenditures (operating budget minus capital outlay). Debt or bond financing will not be used to finance current expenditures.
144
D. Proposed Budget Process: a proposed budget shall be prepared by the Town Manager with the participation of all of the Town’s department directors. • The proposed budget shall include four basic segments for review and evaluation: (1) personnel costs, (2) base budget for operations and maintenance costs, (3) service level adjustments for increases of existing service levels or additional services, and (4) revenues. • The proposed budget review process shall include Council participation in the review of each of the four segments of the proposed budget and a public hearing to allow for citizen participation in the budget preparation.
• The proposed budget process shall allow sufficient time to provide review, as well as address policy and fiscal issues, by the Town Council. • A copy of the proposed budget shall be filed with the Town Secretary when it is submitted to the Town Council as well as placed on the Town’s website. E. Budget Adoption: Upon the determination and presentation of the final iteration of the proposed budget as established by the Council, a public hearing date and time will be set and publicized. The Council will subsequently consider a resolution which, if adopted, such budget becomes the Town’s Approved Annual Budget. The adopted budget will be effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1. The approved budget will be placed on the Town’s web site. F. Budget Award: Each year the Council approved operating budget will be submitted annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for evaluation and consideration for the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation. G. Budget Amendments: Department Directors are responsible for monitoring their respective department budgets. The Finance Department will monitor all financial operations. The budget team will decide whether to proceed with a budget amendment and, if so, will then present the request to the Town Council. If the Council decides a budget amendment is necessary, the amendment is adopted in resolution format and the necessary budgetary changes are then made. H. Central Control: Modifications within the operating categories (salaries, supplies, maintenance, services, capital, etc.) can be made with the approval of the Town Manager. Modifications to reserve categories and interdepartmental budget totals will be made only by Town Council consent with formal briefing and Council action. I. Planning: The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for Town Council by integrating it into the Council’s overall strategic planning process for the Town. Each department shall have a multi-year business plan that integrates with the Town’s overall strategic plan. J. Reporting: Monthly financial reports will be prepared by the Finance Department and distributed to and reviewed by each Director. Information obtained from financial reports and other operating reports is to be used by Directors to monitor and control departmental budget. Summary financial reports will be presented to the Town Council quarterly. K. Performance Measures & Productivity Indicators: Where appropriate, performance measures and productivity indicators will be used as guidelines to measure efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes of Town services. This information will be included in the annual budget process as needed.
145
L. Contingent Appropriation: During the budget process, staff will attempt to establish an adequate contingent appropriation in each of the operating funds. The expenditure for this appropriation shall be made only in cases of emergency, and a detailed account shall be recorded and reported. The proceeds shall be disbursed only by transfer to departmental appropriation. All transfers from the contingent appropriation will be evaluated using the following criteria: • Is the request of such an emergency nature that it must be made immediately? • Why was the item not budgeted in the normal budget process? • Why can’t the transfer be made within the department? IV. REVENUES MANAGEMENT A. Revenue Design Parameter: The Town will pursue the following optimum characteristics in its revenue system: • Simplicity - The Town, where possible and without sacrificing accuracy, will strive to keep the revenue system simple in order to reduce costs, achieve transparency, and increase citizen understanding of Town revenue sources. • Certainty - A knowledge and understanding of revenue sources reliability increases the viability of the revenue system. The Town will understand, to the best of its ability, all aspects of its revenue sources and their performance, as well as enact consistent collection policies to provide assurances that the revenue base will materialize according to budgets, forecasts, and plans. • Equity - The Town shall make every effort to maintain equity in its revenue system: i.e. the Town shall seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services utilities, and customer classes within a utility. • Administration - The benefits of a revenue source will not exceed the cost of collecting that revenue. Every effort will be made for the cost of collection to be reviewed annually for cost effectiveness as a part of the Town’s indirect cost and cost of service analysis. • Adequacy, Diversification and Stability - The Town shall attempt, in as much as is practical, to achieve a balance in its revenue system. The Town shall also strive to maintain a balanced and diversified revenue system to protect the Town from fluctuations in any one source due to changes in local economic conditions which adversely impact that revenue source. B. Other Considerations. The following considerations and issues will guide the Town in its revenue policies concerning specific sources of funds: • Cost/Benefit of Incentives for Economic Development - The Town will use due caution in the analysis of any tax or fee incentives that are being considered to encourage economic development. A cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as a part of the evaluation for each proposed economic development project. • Non-Recurring Revenues - One-time or non-recurring revenues will not be used to finance on-going operational costs. Non-recurring revenues will be used only for one-time expenditures such as long-lived capital needs or one-time major maintenance projects that occur infrequently. Non-recurring revenues will not be used for budget balancing purposes except to cover the one-time expenditures described above. • Investment Income - Earnings from investment of available monies, whether pooled or not, will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from which monies were provided to be invested. • Property Tax Revenues - The Town shall endeavor to avoid a property tax by revenue diversification, implementation of user fees, and economic development.
146
C. User-Based (Demand Driven) Fees and Service Charges. For services that are demand driven and can be associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and indirect costs of that service will be offset by a fee where possible. The Town staff will endeavor to prepare a review of all fees and charges annually, but not less than once every three years, in order to ensure that these fees provide for, at minimum, full cost recovery of service. D. Enterprise Fund Rates. Utility rates and rate structures for water and sewer services will be constructed to target full cost of service recovery. Annually the Town will review and adopt water and sewer utility rates and a rate structure that generates revenue sufficient to fully cover operating expenses, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, provide for an adequate level of working capital, and recover applicable general/administrative costs. The Solid Waste function will have rates that fully recover all costs and maintain an adequate balance. The Cemetery Fund will be structured to operate on lot sales and endowments. • General and Administrative (G&A) Charges – Where feasible, G&A costs will be charged to all funds for services of indirect general overhead costs, which may include general administration, finance, customer billing, facility use, personnel, technology, engineering, legal counsel, and other costs as deemed appropriate. These charges will be determined through an indirect cost allocation study following accepted practices and procedures. E. Intergovernmental Revenues. As a general rule, intergovernmental revenues (grants) will not be utilized for on-going operating costs. Any potential grant opportunity will be examined to identify all costs related to matching and continuation of program requirements. Staff will focus on one-time grants to avoid long-term implications. If it is determined that accepting a grant with on-going cost conditions is in the interests of the Town, all the operating and maintenance costs must be included in the financial forecast and their ultimate effect on operations and revenue requirements be known. F. Revenue Monitoring. Revenues as they are received will be regularly compared to budgeted revenues and variances will be investigated. This process will be summarized in the appropriate budget report. G. Special Revenue/Educational Funds. Where feasible and practical, General and Administrative Charges (G&A) for special revenue and educational funds of the Town of Westlake will be determined on an annual basis and transfers will be made where sufficient revenue exists to cover the associated expenditures. V. EXPENDITURE CONTROL A. Appropriations – The point of budgetary control is at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund level in all other funds. When budget adjustments among Departments and/or funds are necessary, they must be approved by the Town Council. B. Current Funding Basis - The Town shall operate on a current funding basis. Expenditures shall be budgeted and controlled so as not to exceed current revenues plus the planned use of fund balance accumulated through prior year savings. (The use of fund balance shall be guided by the Fund Balance/Retained Earnings Policy Statements.) C. Avoidance of Operating Deficits - The Town shall take immediate corrective actions if at any time during the fiscal year expenditure and revenue re-estimates are such that an operating deficit (i.e., projected expenditures in excess of projected revenues) is projected at year-end. Corrective actions can include a hiring freeze, expenditure reductions, fee increases, or use of fund balance within the Fund. D. Balance/Retained Earnings Policy - Expenditure deferrals into the following fiscal year, short-term loans, or use of one-time revenue sources shall be avoided to balance the budget.
147
E.Maintenance of Capital Assets - Within the resources available each fiscal year, the Town shallmaintain capital assets and infrastructure at a sufficient level to protect the Town's investment, to minimize future replacement and maintenance costs, and to continue service levels.
F.Periodic Program Reviews - The Town Manager shall undertake periodic staff and third-partyreviews of Town programs for both efficiency and effectiveness. Privatization and contracting with other governmental agencies will be evaluated as alternative approaches to service delivery. Programs which are determined to be inefficient and/or ineffective shall be reduced in scope or eliminated.
G.Salary - The Town shall strive to maintain competitive salary levels for municipalemployees. A salary survey will be conducted through a sampling of surrounding andcomparable municipal organizations to create a comparison. The Town will strive tomaintain salary levels within three percent (3%) of the median of surveyed benchmarkmunicipalities.
H.Purchasing - The Town shall make every effort to maximize any discounts offered bycreditors/vendors. Staff shall also use competitive bidding in accordance to State law, as well as intergovernmental partnerships and purchasing cooperatives to attain the best possible price on goods and services.
I.Prompt Payment - All invoices will be paid within 30 days of receipt in accordance with the prompt payment requirements of State law.
VI.FUND BALANCE/RETAINED EARNINGSA.General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance - The Town shall strive to maintain the General Fund undesignated minimum fund balance at, or in excess of, 180 days of operation.
B.Retained Earnings of Other Operating Funds - In the Utility Fund, the Town shall strive to maintain positive retained earnings positions to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies and revenue shortfalls.
C.Use of Fund Balance – The Council delegates the responsibility to assign funds to the Town
Manager or his/her designee. The Council shall have the authority to assign any amount of
funds. Assignments may occur subsequent to fiscal year-end. The Council will utilize funds in the
following spending order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, Unassigned
Fund Balance will be targeted to only be used with Council approval and can be only be used for
the following:
•Emergencies,•non-recurring expenditures such as technology/FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment), or major capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through current year savings. •Should such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective for that fund, recommendations will be made on how to restore it.•The Council shall approve all commitments by formal action. The action to commit funds must occur prior to fiscal year-end, to report such commitments in the balance sheet of the respective period, even though the amount may be determined subsequent to fiscal year-end. •A commitment can only be modified or removed by the same formal action.

B.Analysis of Debt Issuance and Debt Issuance Alternatives - Staff will explore alternatives to the issuance of debt for capital acquisitions and construction projects.
These alternatives will include, but not be limited to, •grants- in- aid•use of reserves •use of either current on-going general revenues or one-time revenues•contributions from developers and others•leases•user fees •impact fees
C.Use of Debt Financing - The useful life of the asset or project shall, at a minimum, exceed thepayout schedule of any debt the Town assumes. Debt financing instruments to be considered by the Town may include:
•General obligation bonds - These must be authorized by a vote of the citizens of Westlake.•Revenue bonds - These bonds generate capital requirements necessary for continuation or expansion of a service which produces revenue and for which the asset may reasonable be expected to provide for a revenue stream to fund the debt service requirement.•Certificates of obligation - These can be authorized by Council approval with debt service by either general revenues or backed by a specific revenue stream or a combination of both.•Lease/purchase agreements - These shall only be used to purchase capital assets that cannot be financed from either current revenues or fund balance/retained earnings and to fund infrastructure improvements and additions.
D.Assumption of Additional Debt - The Town shall not assume more tax-supported general-purpose debt than it retires each year without first conducting an objective analysis as to the community's ability to assume and support additional debt service payments.
E.Affordability Targets - The Town shall use an objective multi-year analytical approach todetermine whether it can afford to assume new general-purpose debt beyond what it retireseach year. This process shall compare generally accepted standards of affordability to thecurrent values for the Town. The process shall also examine the direct costs and benefits ofthe proposed expenditures. The decision on whether or not to assume new debt shall bebased on these costs and benefits and on the Town's ability to "afford” new debt asdetermined by the aforementioned standards. The Town shall strive to achieve and/ormaintain these standards at a low to moderate classification.
F.Debt Structure - The Town shall structure its debt payment schedules for general purpose debt to ensure level principal repayment schedules. The Town shall not assume any debt with "balloon' repayment schedules which consist of low annual payments and one large payment of the balance due at the end of the term. While balloon payment structures minimize the size of debt payments during the period, they force a large funding requirement on the budget of the final year. Given the uncertainties of the future, level payment schedules improve budget
149
planning and financial management. G. Sale Process - The Town shall use a competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless the nature of the issue warrants a negotiated bid. The Town shall award bonds based on a true interest cost (TIC) basis as long as the financial advisor agrees that the TIC basis can satisfactorily determine the lowest and best bid. H. Bond Rating Agencies Presentations - Full disclosure of operations and open lines of communication shall be made to the bond rating agencies. Town staff, with assistance of financial advisors, shall prepare the necessary materials and presentation to the bond rating agencies. I. Continuing Disclosure - The Town is committed to continuing disclosure of financial and pertinent credit information relevant to the Town's outstanding securities.
J. Debt Refunding - Town staff and the financial advisor shall monitor the municipal bond market
for opportunities to obtain interest savings by refunding outstanding debt. As a general rule,
the present value savings of a particular refunding should exceed 3.5% of the refunded
maturities.
VIII. INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS

policy objectives, share the cost of providing government services on an equitable basis, and
support favorable legislation at the State and Federal levels.
A. Inter-local Cooperation in Delivering Services - In order to promote the effective and efficient

A. Grant Guidelines - The Town shall apply, and facilitate the application by others, for only those
grants that are consistent with the objectives and high priority needs previously identified

support for grant funded positions from local revenues, will be considered prior to applying for
a grant.
B. Grant Review - All grant submittals shall be reviewed for their cash match requirements, their
potential impact on the operating budget, and the extent to which they meet the Town's policy

maximum weighted average maturity of six months.
155
The authorized investment purchased will be of the highest credit quality and marketability
supporting the objectives of safety and liquidity. Securities, when not matched to a specific
liability, will be short term to provide adequate liquidity. The portfolio shall be diversified to
protect against market and credit risk in any one sector.
The maximum weighted average maturity of the portfolio will be no more than 180 days and
the maximum stated maturity of any security will not exceed two years. The funds are
combined for investment purposes but the unique needs of all the funds in the portfolio are
recognized and represented.
Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. Cash

The purpose of this policy is to set out the philosophy, purpose, and intent of the Town of
Westlake’s pay system for municipal employees.
The Town of Westlake’s mission is “to be a unique community, blending preservation of our
natural environment and viewscapes, while serving our residents and businesses with
superior municipal and academic services that are accessible, efficient, cost-effective, and
transparent.”
The Town of Westlake believes that market-based salary, in combination with employee
competence and their overall contribution to the Town’s success, should largely determine
their compensation and career advancement opportunities. The philosophy and objectives of
this pay policy are as follows:
1. First, the Town’s pay system should be internally equitable. It must ensure that pay
ranges of each position within our organization reflects the value of comparable
positions within our organization. In order to achieve this, we must pay employees fairly
compared to their coworkers, and employees must also perceive that they are paid fairly
compared to their coworkers.
2. Second, The Town’s pay system must be externally competitive in the marketplace, so
that the Town of Westlake support or strategic outcome objective to attract, recruit, and
retain highly qualified employees who are vital to accomplishing the organization’s vision
and mission.
3. Third, to be motivational to our employees, providing the opportunity for future pay
increases based upon individual work performance and development of job-related skills
and competencies.
II. DEFINITION
With these objectives in mind, the Town’s municipal compensation plan is a broad band pay
system. A broad band pay system is markedly different than the traditional “step-in-grade”
pay system.
A broad band pay system is one that structures pay utilizing two primary steps.
1. First, the responsibilities and qualifications required of each position are analyzed.
2. Second, using this position analysis, pay for these positions are surveyed against the
market to create a broad set of occupation groups that become the pay bands.
Each pay band has a minimum, mid-point, and a maximum rate of pay; however, within each
band there is flexibility for hiring and provision of performance pay.
Utilization of a broad band pay system by an organization is intended to:
• Reward employees for positive behaviors that contribute to the effectiveness of the
Town’s service delivery to our stakeholders;
160
• Assist the Town in fulfilling its vision and mission by offering increased opportunities for
career advancement and recognition of the Town’s municipal employees;
• Provide the organization’s leadership greater flexibility with a pay system that can be
used to adjust to changes in market conditions, enhance hiring practices, and reward
outstanding performance;
• Adjust to changes in market conditions as it relates to increases in pay for groups of
employees within each band; ensuring the Town’s pay system remains competitive to
the comparable market.
III. IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PAY PLAN
For its first year of implementation (FY 16-17), most employees will be placed within the
established pay band for their position at their current rate of pay, with up to a three (3)
percent market adjustment of the employee’s base pay rate. To promote internal equity,
positions that have surveyed further below market may receive a higher market adjustment, at
the discretion of their supervisor.
In the fiscal years following FY 16-17, depending on market survey results and availability of
funding, the municipal broad band pay system may have both a market adjustment and
performance pay component, as defined below.
IV. CLASSIFICATION AND PAY BAND PLACEMENT
The following criteria will be used when classifying positions to determine band placement:
• Nature or type of work performed
• Level of responsibility
• Impact of position on the organization
• Reporting relationships
• Scope of duties
• Complexity of work
• Supervision received and/or exercised
• Knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to perform required job duties.
Factors that will not be considered in classifying a position:
• Incumbent of the position
• Performance of the employee or incumbent
• Longevity of the employee or incumbent in position
• Qualifications of the employee or incumbent that are not required by the position
Employee pay progression within a band can occur if there is a market adjustment approved
for that band. Progression in a band can also occur if an employee’s job performance, as
determined by review of job performance, results in a performance pay increase. Pay
progression is defined as movement within a band that increases the employee’s pay on an on-
going basis.
Other instances that can create employee progression in a pay band include:
• Promotion
• Significant increase in job skills, job-related education or training or competencies
• Position reclassification: These instances can only occur after proper analysis and with
criteria established by the Human Resources Department and approved by the Town
Manager or their designate.
161
V. PAY PLAN PARAMETERS
In order to successfully practice this pay philosophy using this policy, as well as reach our
objectives, the Town will use the following parameters to utilize this pay system:
Internal Equity
a. In order to maintain accurate position classifications, the Town of Westlake will
conduct a position analysis of 1/3 (one-third) of the organization’s positions each
year. This ensures that all positions are reviewed on a rolling three-year basis.
b. Upon review of the position analysis by the Director of Human Resources, and with
the approval of the Town Manager or their designee, position classifications may be
adjusted to a new band. This can occur if a new position classification is created, or if
the duties, roles, and responsibilities have substantially evolved, resulting in a
position that is greater similarity to another classification band.
Performance Pay
a. On-going performance pay may be awarded to individuals or teams who, as
determined in their performance evaluation, have clearly gone “above and beyond”
their traditional roles, job duties, and assignments over the evaluation period.
b. Performance pay is awarded through the review process and the established criteria
outlined by the HR department
c. One-time performance pay may be offered to employees or teams who, based on
performance evaluation, have been determined to have gone above and beyond
expectations. One-time performance pay is a lump-sum, one-time payment and will
not impact the base pay of the employee and will not move their pay within their
position’s assigned band.
d. All performance pay, whether on-going or one-time adjustments, is dependent upon
the availability of financial resources.
Market-Based Pay
a. The Town of Westlake will conduct a biannual market salary study in the spring prior
to budget preparation for the upcoming fiscal year.
b. Depending on the results of the market study, and if funds are available, all or some
of the salary bands will be proposed to the Town Council for adjustment based upon
the results of the biannual market salary study. Proposed adjustments to any pay
band will not be proposed unless the market study indicates bands have increased by
2.5% or more.
c. Employee salaries may receive a market adjustment if their current salary has shifted
to become less than 97.5% of the market average.
d. All new hires will be placed at the minimum rate of their band, unless a hiring
manager recommends placement at a higher rate. This must be reviewed first by the
Human Resources Department and approved by the Town Manager or their
designee. Generally, new hires proposed to be paid higher than band minimum may
be brought into the pay system within 3% above or below a band’s midpoint;
however, exceptional qualifications and experience of the new hire must be
demonstrated by the hiring department to the Human Resources Department and
the Town Manager for this to be approved.
e. All market adjustments are dependent upon available financial resources.
f. The market value for positions within the Town of Westlake will be determined
biannually through the completion of a survey of comparison communities identified
by staff and approved by the Town Council.
162
g. Employees with base compensation within 3% of the market average are considered
to be “at market.”
h. Positions currently at or above the market will not qualify for any market-based
adjustment, and will remain at their current rate of pay.
i. If the market rate for a position declines, the salary of position holders will not be
negatively impacted, but they will not receive any market-based adjustments.
j. Market adjustments will impact the base pay of the employee and may only be
applied if the Town of Westlake has adequate financial resources available to fund
the adjustments.

VII. DEFINITIONS FOR THE BANDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
• "BAND E" POLICY DECISION - These decisions are associated with board level
management and involve guiding the organization as a whole through policy
development, setting the overall direction, and tone of the organization. Restrictions to
these decisions are often only limited by the laws of the state (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND D" PROGRAMMING DECISION - These decisions are typically made by senior
management or department directors and are generally tasked with executing the
organization's policy through strategy development. Establishing guidelines by which
further decisions are made. A typical senior management decision is made at the
organizational or department level. For instance, the decision on how to set up the
organization's network infrastructure is usually determined by management, while
the decision to upgrade is based on policy (Paterson, 1972).
163
• "BAND C" INTERPRETIVE DECISIONS - Middle management who have constraints
placed upon them by them by senior management. These are usually made by business
unit managers, such as a budget manager or project research analyst. Once overall
strategy is developed by the senior managers, the middle managers decide how to
utilize resources in order to meet deadlines. The unit manager should always know why
certain staff members have been assigned to a particular job and may have to interpret
situations not currently covered by rules or guidelines (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND B” ROUTINE DECISIONS - Skilled supervisors know the "how", the "where",
and the "when" to set up equipment, systems, and are aware of the rules that
govern these processes. They can decide which process is to be used in order to
carry out the interpretive decisions as they have a firm handle on operations. For
example, a billing clerk knows how to complete the utility billing process, including
the way in which entries have to be made, as they have the book of rules and
regulations to refer to as needed (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND A" AUTOMATIC DECISIONS - Each process is a cycle of operations. The process is
decided by the supervisor who then sets up the process or the "how" of the task at
hand. This is generally accomplished by a semi-skilled individual who completes the task
as outlined, within the constraints of the process. This individual can decide where and
when to carry out the operations needed for the task (Paterson, 1972).
• "BAND O" DEFINED DECISIONS - "Band O" decisions are rarely seen in an organization.
These decisions are those involving speed of completion of a task, and are usually left to
unskilled, entry level, nonexempt employees (Paterson, 1972).
164
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE & REPLACEMENT POLICY
The Town recognizes that deferred maintenance and not anticipating capital replacement needs
increases future capital costs. Annually, available funds will be evaluated during the budget process
and a percentage of each operating fund’s budget will be recommended to the Council for transfer.
Upon approval by the Council, the recommended amount will be transferred to the appropriate
funds (General or Utility Maintenance Replacement Fund) for major maintenance/ replacement of
street, building roof, flooring, air conditioning, equipment, etc.
The Town of Westlake owns, operates, and maintains a number of vehicles. To provide a fiscally
responsible vehicle and equipment replacement policy that enables the Town to maximize vehicle
and equipment utilization, while maintaining the Town’s desired public image and high-quality
program of services for our residents. Therefore, the Town of Westlake will maintain a Vehicle and
Equipment Replacement and Depreciation Schedule; said schedule will be maintained by the Finance
Department.
Vehicle and equipment replacement criteria will be developed according to each items anticipated
useful service life. Typically, this is based upon the type or “category” of the vehicle/equipment and
its usage. Each item will be surveyed annually and assigned a score based upon the Point Range and
Guideline document. A vehicle will be replaced according to the established criteria unless the
Department Head(s) and the Town Manager’s office determine that: 1) mechanical failure or vehicle
damage warrants earlier replacement, or 2) the vehicle is still serviceable and may serve additional
years beyond its original anticipated service life.
Funding for vehicle/equipment replacement should be incrementally allocated from department
operating funds to a restricted Capital Maintenance and Replacement Fund, subject to funding
availability on an annual basis. Future vehicle/equipment replacements should be funded from this
restricted fund, which receives accumulated operating fund transfers based upon the Vehicle and
Equipment Depreciation Schedule.
Funding will consist of an annual set-aside based upon a straight-line depreciation for each vehicle
over the course of its useful life and budgeted as part of the annual budget development process.
Depreciation fees should commence the same fiscal year of each new and replacement
vehicle/equipment purchase. Likewise, depreciation expenses should be expensed from the
respective department operating budget and deposited into the Capital Maintenance and
Replacement Fund. Depreciation expenses shall continue through the service life of the new
vehicle/equipment and shall cease upon retirement of said vehicle/equipment.
REPLACEMENT AND DEPRECIATION GUIDELINES
Purpose - To provide a fiscally responsible vehicle and equipment replacement and depreciation policy,
which will enable the Town of Westlake to maximize asset utilization while maintaining a positive
public image and being fiscally responsible in our budgeting and fleet replacement programs.
165
Policy - Replacement criteria for Town-owned vehicles and equipment will depend primarily on a
point system, which is based upon the following factors:
Age
Miles/Hour Usage
Type of Service
Reliability
Maintenance and Repair Costs (not to include incident repairs)
Condition
Point Range Chart Note: The Town may decide to retain a vehicle beyond the stated criteria after an
evaluation of anticipated usage, repairs and operating costs. Each Town vehicle and small equipment
have been placed in a specific category (as listed below) in order to allow for uniformity in our
replacement standards.
Category "A" - This category consists of the one (1) 18-passenger and one (1) 20-passenger
school bus. The life span for school bus is 10 years. The Fire Department which includes engines,
ladder truck, ambulances, and attack truck which are used primarily as a front-line response
vehicle. The front-line life-span of the Engine is 15 years and has a reserve life-span for additional
five years. The ambulance front-line life-span is seven years and has a reserve vehicle life-span for
additional seven. The Town currently has one (1) Engine, one (1) Attack Truck and two (2)
Ambulances.
Category "B" - This category consists of Maintenances and Public Works vehicles which are used to
serve the public on a day-to-day basis and pull trailers. Due to the heavy use, these vehicles may be
scheduled for replacement at 100,000 miles provided the maintenance cost is considerably higher
than vehicles of the same type. The Town currently has two (2) Public Works trucks.
Category "C" - This category consists of all other cars and pickups, which include administration pool
car, building inspection truck, warrant officer public safety vehicle. These vehicles are generally
assigned to a designated staff member and should not be replaced earlier than 100,000 miles
provided the maintenance cost is considerably higher than vehicles of the same type.
Category "D" - This category consists of other off-road equipment (mule and mowers) that are used
to serve the public on an "as needed" basis. Replacement of this category may be made after
2,500 operating hours, or provided the maintenance cost is considerably higher than equipment of
the same type. The Town currently has one (1) Kawasaki utility vehicle and (1) mower.
Category "E" - This category consists of light equipment (weed-eaters, chain saw and pumps,
generators, trailers, and other small hand-operated equipment) which are used to serve the public
on an "as needed" basis. Replacements in this category may be made after the total maintenance
cost exceeds the original purchase price of a particular piece of equipment. The cost of upgrading
a piece of equipment will be the responsibility of the operating division. The Town currently has one
weed-trimmer, chain saw, blower, small generator and a trailer.
166
GUIDE FOR EARLY REPLACEMENT OF TOWN-OWNED VEHICLES
Early Replacement - The consideration of early replacement of a vehicle often arises when major
expenditures are necessary to restore it to a safe operating condition (e.g., major component
failure or incident damage). The economic effect of such repairs cannot be avoided because the
cost to the Town is normally about the same whether the vehicle is sold in un-repaired condition or
restored to repaired condition.
However, replacement prior to the normal criteria for vehicles will result in an acceleration of all future
replacement cost cycles required to satisfy a continuing vehicle need. This acceleration of cost cycles
causes a sizable increase in the total present value cost of all fixture cycles and should be avoided
whenever possible. Major vehicle repairs should always be made, with two exceptions:
1. Major expenditures for repair should not be made when the cost of the repair plus the
vehicle salvage in un-repaired condition exceeds its wholesale value in repaired condition.
2. Major deferrable expenditures should not be made when a vehicle is in the final six months of
its retention cycle. During this period, the penalty for early replacement is small and,
therefore, the vehicle should be replaced rather than repaired.
Depreciation Formula - Current acquisition price of each vehicle divided by the utilization cycle
mileage or total maintenance cost) will provide the yearly depreciation allowance.
EXAMPLE A – Vehicles
• Mileage: $30,000 vehicle divided by the target replacement cycle of 100,000 miles will give
you a depreciation cost of $.30 per mile.
• $0.30 times the number of miles (20,000) the vehicle was driven the previous year will give
you the yearly depreciation amount $6,000.
EXAMPLE B – Small Equipment
• Maintenance Cost: depreciate the original purchase price by 15% per year, for power hand tools,
trailers, etc. Replace the item only when the maintenance cost reaches the original purchase
price.

SUMMARY Pursuant to the requirements of HB 3195, it is necessary for the Town Council to vote to ratify
the property tax increase as reflected in the FY 2021-22 Operating & Capital Budget.
This vote is a procedural requirement of HB 3195. Section 102.007, Local Government Code, Subsection (c), reads as follows: “Adoption of a budget that will require raising more revenue from property taxes than in the previous year requires a separate vote of the governing body to
ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget. A vote under this subsection is in addition to and separate from the vote to adopt the budget or vote to set the tax rate required by Chapter 26, Tax Code, or other law.” The proposed tax rate will not raise more taxes for maintenance and operations (M&O) than last
year’s tax rate as this year’s M&O rate is actually lower by -17.84%. However since the proposed total ad valorem rate of $0.16788 (same as last year) is effectively higher than the No-New-Revenue rate by $0.00042, or $0.25%, it will raise approximately $6,956 more in tax revenue than last year and thus is considered a tax rate increase - even though we are keeping the total rate the same.
The ad valorem tax rate proposed in the FY 2021-22 Budget compared to the rates adopted for FY 2020-2021 is as follows:

I&S $0.04298 $0.06504 $(0.0206) $0.16788 $0.16788 $ 0.00000 COUNCIL ACTION/OPTIONS
As a procedural requirement of HB 3195 and as required in Section 102.007, Local Government Code, Subsection (c), Council must hold a vote on this item separately to approve or deny the related resolution after any necessary discussion. Any feedback to Staff is awlways welcomed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Regular Meeting - Action Item Monday, September 13, 2021
TOPIC: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consideration of an Ordinance Levying Municipal
Ad Valorem (Property) Taxes for the 2021 Tax Year in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Proposed Budget. STAFF: Amanda Degan, Town Manager Noah Simon, Deputy Town Manager Jarrod Greenwood, Assistant Town Manager Ginger Awtry, Director of Finance

SUMMARY During the presentation at the August 23, 2021 Town Council meeting, staff recommended a proposed maximum tax rate that was equal to the voter-approval rate of $0.22181 (formerly the
rollback rate) in order to provide ample notification of the tax rate calculations and notificatioin of the upcoming public hearings regarding the budget and setting the Westlake property tax rate. Town staff is recommending we hold our ad valorem tax rate flat and keep it at the current rate of $0.016788 per $100 valuation. After the Tax Year 2021 calculations were completed using the
certified rolls provided by Tarrant and Denton Counties, the no-new-revenue (NNR) tax rate, formerly the effective rate, is $0.16746 per $100 valuation, an increase of $0.00042 over the current and proposed property tax rate. This proposed rate (same as last year’s rate) is significantly lower than the voter-approval rate
(formerly the rollback rate) of $0.22181/$100 used in the public notification. In addition, the proposed/current property tax rate is also much lower than Westlake’s de minimis rate is $0.22054. The de minimis rate is the rate equal to the sum of the no-new-revenue maintenance and operation rate, the rate that will raise an additional $500,000 ($0.03019), and the current debt rate of
Page 2 of 3
$0.06504 for the Town of Westlake.
Westlake’s property values have increased this year by approximately 9.74%, meaning property owners may see an increase in their tax bill of approximately $263.60 on the new average homestead value of $1.8 million – another reason why Town staff have proposed leaving the ad
valorem rate the same. Last year, the average homestead value in Westlake was $1.6 million.
This Public Hearing has been advertised in the newspaper as required by law plus added early to our home page of the Town’s website, emailed to residents via Westlake Wire, and posted on the Town’s social media accounts to reach as many residents and stakeholders as possible.
The ad valorem tax rate proposed in the FY 2021-22 Budget compared to the rate adopted for FY 2020-2021 is as follows: FY 20-21 FY 21-22
Adopted Proposed
Tax Rate Tax Rate Variance M&O $0.12490 $0.10284 $ 0.02206 I&S $0.04298 $0.06504 $(0.02206) $0.16788 $0.16788 $ 0.00000
As a courtesy to our newer Council Members and those residents that may be unaware of our ad valorem history, the following information is provided regarding the first enactment of Westlake’s local ad valorem tax in 2010. After its adoption on September 29, 2010, the Town Council also set the residential homestead tax exemption at the maximum (20%) allowed by State law. There were
other exemptions adopted by that earlier Resolution (which is restated and confirmed in the tax levy ordinance) for an exemption for persons disabled or over 65 and an exemption for Freeport goods. Additionally, there was a provision made in the Town Code for a “tax freeze” for people over 65 or who are disabled and have a Westlake residence homestead established. This Town Code provision was interpreted by the Town’s attorney to mean that a person, who at the tax year
2010, had a Westlake homestead residence and was over 65 or disabled prior to the date the tax levy was adopted, will have a zero-tax rate. After the 2010 tax levy, persons over 65 or disabled with a Westlake residence homestead are able to freeze their tax rate in the tax year of qualification for the “tax freeze” exemption. This interpretation was presented and accepted by the Town Council. COUNCIL ACTION/OPTIONS
Council may hold discussion as necessary prior to voting for approval or denial of the ordinance
presented for adoption. Staff appreciates any additional feedback the Council may give.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance levying a municipal ad valorem (property) tax totaling
