WESTLAKE
May 17, 2022
Honorable Mayor, Council Members, and Citizens of the Town of Westlake,
The Town of Westlake (the "Town") Fiscal and Budgetary Policies require that the Town's Finance
Department prepare a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a
firm of licensed certified public accountants. Accordingly, the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
for the Town of Westlake, Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, is hereby issued.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Town. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information
presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making representations, the Town established a
comprehensive internal control framework that was designed both to protect the Town's assets from loss,
theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Town's financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their
benefits, the Town's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide
reasonable, rather than an absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatements. As management, we assert that this financial report is complete and reliable in all material
respects to the best of our knowledge and belief.
The Town's financial statements have been audited by Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. The goal of the
independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Town for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, were free of material misstatements. The independent audit
involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon
the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Town's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
The independent auditors' report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The Town of Westlake's MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor's report.
The Statistical Section includes financial and demographic information relevant to readers of the Town's
financial statements and is generally presented on a multi -year basis.
Profile of the Town
Westlake is certainly distinctive by design. As a result of this intentional design, our community is an
oasis of natural beauty that maintains open spaces in balance with one -of -a -kind developments, trails, and
quality of life amenities amidst an ever-expanding urban landscape.
Nestled in the Dallas -Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex, Westlake is designated as both a Platinum Level
Scenic City and a Tree City USA.
Extraordinary residential developments and architecturally vibrant corporate campuses find harmony
among our meandering roads and trails, lined with native oaks and stone walls. Westlake is a leader in
education, known for our innovative partnerships between the Town -operated Charter school and our
corporate neighbors.
We strive to maintain strong aesthetic standards and preserve the natural beauty in our community where
hospitality finds its home. Westlake is family -friendly, welcoming, fully involved and invested in our rich
heritage, with a vibrant present and sustainable future.
Ideally located minutes from downtown Fort Worth, its Alliance Airport and the Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, the Town of Westlake is home to several prestigious residential communities,
Fortune 500 companies, and corporate headquarters, all of which possess a unique character and charm.
There is a common ideal shared by our corporate and individual residents of support for the existing
character and charm of the Westlake community as well as a commitment to excellence in new
development.
The Town geographically lies in both northeast Tarrant County and southern Denton County and may be
conveniently accessed by several major thoroughfares, including SH 114, SH 170 and US 377. Westlake
occupies approximately seven (7) square miles and serves a population of approximately 1,840. In 2021,
the average size of new home construction was 8,949 square feet, with an average estimated construction
cost of $1.8 million.
Westlake, incorporated in 1956, is considered a Type A general -law municipality. The Town operates
under the Council -Manager form of government. The Council is comprised of a mayor and five (5) council
members and is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing
committees, and hiring the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies
and ordinances of the Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Town and appointing and
supervising heads of various departments. The Mayor and Town Council members serve two (2) year
terms. All elected officials are elected at -large for a two-year staggered term each May.
The financial reporting entity (the government) includes all funds of the primary government (i.e. the
Town of Westlake), as well as all its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for
which the primary government is financially accountable. The following entities are considered blended
component units:
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the Town
to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's duly constituted authority
and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing body, is comprised of
seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing body.
O
413 Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the
Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town and
the State of Texas to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote and encourage
employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing, implementing,
financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B of the Act. The
board of directors is composed of seven (7) persons appointed by the members of the Town Council. Four
of the members of the board of directors are members of the Town Council.
Westlake Academy (Academy) is an open -enrollment charter school, as provided by Subchapter D,
Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake ("Charter Holder") applied for and
became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special charter designation. The Academy had
856 students in FY 20-21 and serves Kindergarten thru 12th grade. The Academy graduated their first
class in FY 09-10. The Board consists of six (6) trustees, appointed by the Town's governing body.
Currently, all members of the Academy Board are members of the Town's governing body. The Academy's
year-end is August 31.
Discretely presented component units are legally separate entities and not part of the primary government's
operations. These component units are as follows: Texas Student Housing Corporation -Denton Project,
Texas Student Housing Corporation -College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Authority.
Services Provided
Westlake's value proposition is found in the excellent municipal and academic services that are provided
to our residents — all at an exceptional price! Our community has high expectations for service delivery —
both in accessibility, responsiveness, financial stewardship, amenities, distinctive developments, open
spaces and education.
Major services provided under the general government and enterprise functions are: Fire and emergency
medical services, police, water and sewer utility services, park and recreational facilities, street
improvements, education and administrative services. The Town utilizes a combination of direct service
delivery along with out -sourced services in its service delivery mix. The decision as to which service to
deliver directly versus out -sourcing is based on analysis of cost-effectiveness, citizen responsiveness, and
customer service quality.
Economic Conditions and Outlook
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The coronavirus pandemic continued to cast a shadow over the Town of Westlake's economic outlook and
our country's economic outlook as a whole in 2021. The United States' economic downturn remains
unprecedented as local, state and federal leaders continue to work through the impacts caused by the
necessary actions designed to suppress COVID-19 transmission. The Town has remained steadfast in their
established conservative approach during this time and seeks cost -saving adjustments wherever prudent.
Local Challenges Involving Residential Growth
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the environment within which the Town operates.
The Town staff is aware that the Town of Westlake does not create wealth but instead is entrusted with
public dollars collected on behalf of our citizens. We are stewards who are fully vested in the success of
the Town of Westlake and Westlake Academy. We exist as a municipal corporation for one reason and
one reason only: to prioritize and deliver the best services possible with the resources provided to achieve
an exceptional quality of life. This is a challenge the Staff takes very seriously, one that we pursue with
vigor every day. Over the previous fiscal year, the Town's continued work and focus on important
initiatives and projects allows us to balance our "distinctive development, trails, and quality of life
amenities amidst an ever-expanding urban landscape."
The current and potential development within our community provides both an exciting and challenging
time in Westlake! Adhering to the Town's Vision remains the key to Westlake's success in managing the
significant growth. While growth has steadily continued, it continues to present very clear opportunities
for our community if we wish to maintain the elements of Westlake that make it so distinctive. These
community attributes include our beautiful neighborhoods with high quality residences, strong aesthetic
standards, an exemplary Town owned IB World K-12 charter school, open space preservation, future
public art projects, streetscaping, emphasis on proactive planning, and maintaining our view corridors.
The impending change that surrounds Westlake involves not only our current internal development but
also the growth opportunities planned and now underway for the State Highway corridors (SH 114 and
SH 170) in northeast Tarrant County and into southern Denton County. Our neighboring communities
have also experienced significant growth and are nearing a fully developed condition that will only add
pressure from developers as they look to a relatively undeveloped Westlake.
• Westlake's Permanent Population Growth: This is the portion of our population considered to be
our permanent residents. From the 1990 population of 185 to the 2021 population of 1,840, our Town
saw an increase of 176 additional residents in the past year. We will monitor and plan for the
anticipated increase in these numbers considering our Comprehensive Plan's forecast of approximately
7.21% annual population growth between now and 2040. This would bring us to around 7,000
residents.
• Traffic Demands Due to Growth in Westlake and Surrounding Areas: The four (4) municipalities
surrounding Westlake (Keller, Southlake, Trophy Club, and Roanoke) are projected to have a
combined population of 215,000 people by 2040. The growth in these communities will generate
additional traffic that commutes through our Town. And with the projected level of residents (7,000)
and existing zoning entitlements (if executed), we would expect an estimated 300,000 vehicle trips
per day. Local impacts associated with this level of growth affect our street infrastructure, water and
sewer system capital investment requirements, as well as demand for daily municipal services.
Policies, and the provided estimates above, established in our Comprehensive Plan will be essential
for addressing this issue via the Town's thoroughfare plan as it pertains to development in the
community.
• Housing Start Increases and Maintaining Westlake's High -Quality Residential Housing: We
continue to see strong single-family residential construction demand, with the majority of the growth
in the Granada (now nearing completion), Quail Hollow, Vaquero, Entrada, and The Knolls of Solana.
The Entrada mixed -use development continues to progress, albeit slowly, with both residential and
commercial projects under construction. Entrada's infrastructure is financed with a Town approved
Public Improvement District (PID), the bonds for which are paid back by assessments on development
within Entrada. When the infrastructure is complete, it will add (over time) a wide variety of 322
residential units to Westlake - including single-family homes, villas, condominiums, and townhomes.
a
Our residential construction activity remains steady with an increase in building permits for housing,
even through the effects of Covid-19. Housing starts in Westlake, due to our homes' high value, add
taxable value to our taxing base; however, this also impacts the demand for municipal services,
especially the Town's K-12 public charter school, Westlake Academy.
As the area economy continues to push through the economic downturn of a pandemic, and Westlake
and our surrounding communities continue to experience commercial development, this will further
attract individuals who work for and own these businesses. As our housing stock expands in response
to these forces, we will need to manage our developments to ensure we maintain our distinctive
community as an 'oasis of natural beauty' and achieve high -end housing options as identified in the
Housing element of our Comprehensive Plan. Below is a quick glance at the status of Westlake's
residential developments as of March 2022:

Local Challenges Involving Commercial Growth
• Commercial Development, Economic Development, and Daytime Population Growth: Because
Westlake is the home to major corporate office campuses, its Monday -Friday daytime population
continues to grow and is conservatively estimated to grow to an approximate 20,075 individuals, post-
COVID. These office complexes are comprised of notable corporate clients that include Deloitte LLP,
Fidelity Investments, and Charles Schwab among other Fortune 500 companies.
o Commercial Development in Entrada: The mixed -use development of Entrada, located at
FM1938/Davis Boulevard and SH114, slowly continues to create growth in our commercial
tax base. During the past budget year additional commercial buildings have been approved
by the Town for the development. Several medical services and personal care offices opened
for business, joining CVS Pharmacy, Primrose Private Preschool, and Starbucks. Significant
progress was made this year on the water front restaurants, parking garage, and chapel on the
northeast side of the development as well. Other approved residential and commercial uses
include various retail, a reception hall, and hotels. Entrada's anticipated activity in 2022
includes:
vii
o Construction of a 90,080 square foot Residential Repository which includes
customized luxury storage units, flex offices, and a rooftop restaurant.
Construction timeline: 2 years
o Construction of a five -story condominium building with up to 100 residential units.
Construction timeline: 2 years
o Opening of three new restaurants totaling 15,000 square feet.
o Opening of a new parking garage totaling 424 parking spaces.
Economic Development: The Town has pursued the ideas advanced in the Economic Development
element of the Comprehensive Plan. That is, where appropriate, to pursue businesses that ultimately
expand the Town's tax base with high quality office buildings, and at the same time, compliments our
financial services industry hub which has already been created through our corporate residents of
Fidelity, Deloitte, and Charles Schwab. Further, we pursue the types of businesses interested in high
quality office campus development and creating well -paying employees' positions. The completion
of Charles Schwab and its merger with TD Ameritrade's complex in Southlake firmly establishes us
as a leading financial services corridor within the DFW Metroplex. Additionally, the Town has
recently entered into a new economic development agreement with Deloitte, LLP for expansion of
their international learning and innovation center in 2022.
Balanced Growth to Impact Cost of Municipal Services: Likewise, the ability to fund municipal
services utilizing a cost-effective revenue format requires balanced growth that provides for
commercial development and a diversified tax base, while maintaining the community's open space
and pastoral atmosphere. At the same time, we must continue to ensure the policy direction of the
Town is focused on growth paying for the infrastructure for which it creates the demand.
Staff will continue to monitor our corporate stakeholders and attempt to identify avenues to strengthen
these relationships and assist in attracting new corporations to Westlake. The expansion of commercial
development will continue to grow Westlake's daytime population.
Local Challenges — Other
There are other local challenges involving both financial and physical site planning, strategic forecasting,
residential feedback through our survey instruments and the Town's public charter school, Westlake
Academy. As we look to regional or state issues and opportunities, we will monitor these issues among
others:
• Water Usage and Demand — As water demand continues to be a high priority for our entire region,
the Town has worked diligently over the last few years to secure the necessary infrastructure and
resources for our future needs with the recent addition of a new 30 inch water line and a N-1 sewer
line. Efforts continue this year to begin and complete the addition of a fifth water pump at our Westlake
Pump Station. All of these recent improvements are estimated to meet the projected development
needs at final build -out of the Town, along with our neighboring communities in northeast Tarrant
County.
• Westlake's Residential Growth Impact on the Academy: Planning for Academy growth in the face
of residential development remains a consistent focus and challenge for us. Wherever possible, the
Town enters into an economic development agreement with residential developers to provide funding
for Westlake Academy facilities and lessen the impact of their residential development on the school's
enrollment. Not only did we receive additional funding this year from a new development, but Town
staff is nearing completion of the school's program needs and enrollment trends analysis. We hope to
complete the Westlake Academy Facility Master Plan this year and obtain the best balance of student
population and facility needs for its near future.
• Pursuit of Infrastructure and Services Reinvestment While Combating Certain Cost Increases:
With our continued growth comes the need to allocate capital spending as we continue to reinvest in
our infrastructure, including water and sewer utilities and trail and roadway improvements. This year
our current budget included $3.4 million for these capital improvement costs.
As our community and those surrounding us continue to develop, Staff will strengthen our partnerships
and/or opportunities to help in the improvement of mobility within the community without
compromising the design standards and expectations of our residents. East/West traffic continues to
be an area of concern along with our surrounding highway capacity for transient vehicles. Town staff
continues the work with TxDOT, and our counties, as the construction of the new SH 114 service road
between FM 1938 and Dove Road in Southlake, and the SH 170 main lanes from SH 114 west to I-
35, have now begun. These improvements are expected to be complete within the next 12-24 months.
Users of this transmittal letter, as well as others interested in the programs and services offered by the
Town of Westlake, are encouraged to read the Town's Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget. The budget details
the Town's long-term goals and financial policies and describes program accomplishments and initiatives.
Other Information

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor
and Members of Town Council
Town of Westlake, Texas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Westlake (the Town) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Corporation - College
Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Corporation - Denton Project, the discretely presented
component units. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for Texas Student Housing
Authority, Texas Student Housing Corporation - College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing
Corporation - Denton Project, are based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The financial statements of Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Corporation - College
Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Corporation - Denton Project were not audited in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town, as of September 30, 2021, and the
respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matters
Reaardina Goina Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the discretely presented
component units will continue as going concerns. As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the
discretely presented component units are in default on their bonds due to failure to meet certain bond
covenants. This gives bond holders the right to accelerate and demand payment on the bonds in full.
This condition raises substantial doubt about the discretely presented component units' ability to continue
as going concerns. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 17. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Implementation of Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 84
As discussed in Note 19 to the basic financial statements, during the year ended September 30, 2021, the
Town implemented GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. Beginning net position in the fiduciary
funds and governmental activities and beginning fund balance in the governmental funds have been
restated as a result of the implementation of this statement. Our opinions are not modified with respect
to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis on pages 9 through 19 and budgetary comparison information
and pension and OPEB schedules on pages 90 through 100 be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing
the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do
not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules, and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and
were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the combining and individual fund statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
May 17, 2022 on our consideration of the Town's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town's internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Management of the Town of Westlake offers the readers of the Town's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities and financial position of the Town for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2021. Financial reporting is limited in its ability to provide the "big picture" but rather focuses
on financial position and changes in financial position. In other words, are revenues and/or expenditures
higher or lower than the previous year? Has the net position (containing both short- term and long-term
assets and liabilities) or fund balances (the current "spendable" assets less current liabilities) of the
government been maintained? Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with the additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal and the statistical section,
as well as information in the annual operating budget, along with other community information found on
the Town's website at www.westlake-tx.org. It should be noted that the Independent Auditor's Report
describes the auditors' association with the various sections of this report and that all the additional
information from the website and other Town sources are unaudited.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Town exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $64,264,956 (Net position). This
number must be viewed within the context that the vast majority of the Town's net position of
$52,795,677 (82.2%) is its investment in capital assets and that most capital assets in a government
entity do not directly generate revenue nor can they be sold to generate liquid capital. The net
position restricted for specific purposes totaled $2,734,375 (4.3%). The remaining amount,
$8,734,904 (13.5%), represents unrestricted net position.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of Westlake's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $28,951,609, which is an increase of $5,430,794 in comparison
with the prior year. Within this total, $11,097,599 is non -spendable, restricted, committed or
assigned by management or council.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund was $18,212,917 an
increase of $1,622,407 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total fund balance, $17,854,010 is
unassigned. This represents 189.5% of the total general fund expenditures and is equivalent to 682
operating days.
• The Town's capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) decreased by $1,538,031. This is due
in large part to depreciation expense exceeding current year capital asset additions.
• The Town's long-term debt increased by $1,175,352 in total, primarily due to the issuance of bonds
during the fiscal year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial statements.
The Town's basic financial statements are comprised of the following three components:
1) Government -wide financial statements,
2) Fund financial statements, and
3) Notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The government -wide financial
statements are prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting.
The statement of net position presents information on all the Town's assets and deferred outflows of
resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between the two reported
as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net position serves as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of the Town is improving or weakening.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All the revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods.
Both government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally
supported by sales taxes, property taxes, and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general government,
public safety, culture and recreation, economic development, public works, visitor services and
education. The business -type activities of the Town include water/sewer and cemetery.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the Town (known as the primary government),
but also discretely presented component units including all the Texas Student Housing entities. Financial
information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for
the primary government itself. In addition, the Town has the following blended component units: Lone
Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, and Westlake Academy, an
open enrollment charter school owned and operated by the Town of Westlake. See pages 43 - 44 of the
"Financial Section" for detail on these entities.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. Below
are the three types of funds.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as government activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term
financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing
so, the reader may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near -term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
IN
The Town maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the General, Westlake Academy, Debt Service, and Capital Projects,
all of which are presented as major funds. Data from the other funds (Visitors Association, Economic
Development, Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation, Public Arts, 4B Economic Development Corporation,
Solana PID Capital Projects, and Westlake Academy Expansion Capital Projects funds) are combined into
a single, aggregate presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds
is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds, except the Capital Projects, Solana PID
Capital Projects, Public Arts, and Westlake Academy Expansion funds which are project -length based
budgets. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all appropriate funds to demonstrate
compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26 - 32 of this report.
Proprietary funds - There are two types of proprietary funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
Enterprise Funds are the only proprietary funds currently maintained by the Town. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial
statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activities and its cemetery
activities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in these funds, including
administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, billing and collection. The
Town's intent is that the costs of providing the services to the general public on a continuing basis is
financed through user based charges in a manner similar to a private enterprise. The Town has no Internal
Service Funds (fund to report activities that provide supplies and services for the Town's other programs
and activities, i.e. self-insurance and fleet management).
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 33 - 35 on this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements because
the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs. The accounting used
for fiduciary funds is similar to the accounting used for proprietary funds. The Town of Westlake maintains
one fiduciary fund, the PID Custodial Fund.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the financial statements can be found on pages 43 - 88 of this report.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents schedules that further support the information in the financial statements.
The schedules are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements and can be
found on pages 91 - 111.
Government -Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the government's financial
position. In the case of the Town, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows
by $64,264,956 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The Town's combined net position changed from a year ago, increasing $3,177,527, exclusive of the
$56,123 cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. Our analysis below focuses on the net
position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the Town's governmental and business -type
activities.
The largest portion of the Town's net position, $52,795,677 (82.2%), reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g. land, buildings, equipment, improvements, construction in progress, and infrastructure), less any debt
used to acquire capital assets still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town's investment
in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town's net position, $2,734,375 (4.3%), represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $8,734,904 (13.5%) represents
unrestricted net position which is available for the Town's ongoing expenses.

Governmental activities: Governmental activities increased the Town's net position by $2,321,696 (3.8%).
Unrestricted net position, the part of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day operations
without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, other legal requirements, and/or
Council or management's decision, increased by $1,414,841 primarily due to an increase in charges for
services from building permits and fees and capital grants and contributions.
Total revenues for governmental activities increased by $1,117,681 when compared to the prior year.
General revenue decreased by $1,314,287, while program revenues increased by $2,431,968.
Program revenues
• Charges for services increased $659,382 which was primarily due to an increase in permit and
review fees for development which have recovered after COVID-19 with an increase in
economic activities within the Town.
• Capital Grants and Contributions increased by $1,257,500 with the major portion being
attributed to a $1.25 million donation received in the fiscal year for the expansion of Westlake
Academy.
General revenues
• Sales tax decreased by $1,006,534 as a result of decreased taxable sales due, in part, to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Property taxes increased by $296,812 due to increases in both the tax rate and taxable
valuation.
Expenses
• Total expenses for governmental activities decreased by $1,032,001 or approximately 4.3%.
• Decreases in expenses occurred in culture and recreation ($100,009), economic development
($150,037), and visitor services ($350,852). These declines occurred primarily as a result of
decreased operations from COVID-19.
The remaining reduction in expenses was primarily due to decreased activities in general
government function of $453,880. These decreases include a reduction in allocations to
Westlake Academy, reductions in allocations of depreciation expense, and overall decreases
in operating costs from the prior year.
Business -type Activities: The net position of the business -type activities was a deficit balance of $749,664
as of September 30 2021, which was an increase of $855,831. The business -type activities increased
primarily due to operating expenses decreasing by over $1.2 million, mainly attributed to reduced
spending for an intergovernmental non -capital infrastructure project with the City of Fort Worth.

Financial Analysis of the Town's Funds
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's
financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a town's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $28,951,609; an increase of $5,430,794 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 61.7%
of this total ($17,854,010) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the
government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is non -spendable, restricted, committed or
assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because of constraints.
The following tables present a summary of general, special revenue, capital project, and debt service
fund revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and the amount and
percentage of increases and decreases in relation to the prior year.

Below are summaries and explanations of the changes in fund balances from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal
year 2021 of the Governmental Funds that are contained in the above totals.
General Fund - At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund (which for financial
reporting purposes also includes the major maintenance fund and vehicle maintenance/replacement
fund) was $18,212,917, an increase of $1,622,407 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total,
$17,854,010 is unassigned. This represents 189.5% of the total general fund expenditures including transfers
out to other funds related to operations of $357,169. This is equivalent to 682 operating days.
Overall revenues in the General Fund increased $96,100 from FY20 to FY21; the primary reason for the
increase was building permits and fees which increased $615,264 from the previous year due to
increased development since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. The Town also had increases
in property tax revenues of $291,495 and contributions of $287,140. These increases were offset by a
reduction in sales tax revenues of $754,851 experienced in FY21 as a result of decreased taxable
sales within the Town because of COVID-19.
• Expenditures remained largely consistent from FY20 to FY21, with only minor variances in functional
categories.
Westlake Academy - Fund balance increased by $236,968 primarily due to a decrease in operating costs
including reductions related to cleaning supplies, furniture enhancements additional air filtering systems,
and contracted services necessary for the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 in FY20.
Capital Projects Fund - Fund balance increased by $4,596,395 primarily due to issuance of $3,215,000 in
certificates of obligation to fund various capital projects including street, drainage, and park
improvements. This fund balance also increased as a result of contributions being received including the
contribution of $1.25 million for the expansion of Westlake Academy.
Debt Service Fund - The debt service fund remained consistent only slightly decreasing by $46,525 with
an ending fund balance of $103,993. The debt service fund had transfers in from the general and non -
major funds totaling $1,950,261 which offset the net of debt service payments and property tax revenues
($2,069,718).
Non Major Funds - The non major fund balance decreased by $1,034,574 the result of transfers to the Debt
Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund totaling $2,593,092.
Un.
Proprietary Funds. - The Town's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found
in the government -wide financial statements with greater detail. Total net position of the Proprietary Funds
increased by $855,831. This increase is the combined effect of an increase in the utility fund of $838,739
primarily due to reduced operating costs; and a $17,092 increase in the cemetery fund.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund budget for fiscal year 2021 was amended in total to increase the net change in fund
balance from ($1,811,672) to $725,300, a total increase of $2,536,972. The amended budget for revenues
was increased by $1,428,119 (14.9%) based on an anticipated increases in various revenue categories
based on economic recovery projections.
The amended budget for expenditures was decreased by $467,325 (4.5%). This reduction was primarily
due to decreases in public safety expenditures related to a reduction in payroll from vacant positions.
The General Fund actual revenues were more than the amended budget by $205,465 primarily due to
sales taxes and building permits and fee revenues exceeding projections. Actual expenditures were less
than the amended budget by $586,509 due mostly to less than anticipated service expenditures.

assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure, and construction
in progress. The net decrease in the Town's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was

net other post -employment benefits (OPEB) liability relative to its participation in Texas Municipal

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets
In the FY 2021-2022 adopted budget, the fund balance of the General Fund, which includes the Town's
General Fund, General Maintenance & Replacement Fund and General Vehicle Maintenance &
Replacement Fund for audit purposes, is anticipated to decrease by $3.2M. Adopted revenues and
transfers in are budgeted to be less than the 2021 actuals by $903K primarily due to the reallocation of
M&O property tax to I&S property tax and a decrease in contributions.
Anticipated expenditures and transfers out are budgeted to be $4.1 M more than the prior year. Transfers
in were significantly increased ($2.4M) this year after pausing during the past two years of COVID-19 and
the uncertainty of its effects. These transfers were allocated to the following funds: General Maintenance
& Replacement, General Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement, Capital Projects, and the Visitors
Association Fund. Additionally, other expenditures were increased ($1.7M) due to anticipated post -
pandemic effects of higher costs for needed supplies, contract & consulting services, repairs, and
maintenance.
While COVID-19 continues to present budgetary challenges for businesses and local governments with
the uncertainty of its post -pandemic effects, the budget is intended to be adaptable given the unfamiliar
long-term fiscal impact of the pandemic and with other service delivery needs that may arise within our
community.
In
This budget adheres to Council directions to stabilize our ad valorem rate, closely monitor expenditures,
and restart transfers of revenue to the funds noted above for responsible planning. 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 steadfast fiscally conservative manner.

Town of Westlake Exhibit A-4
Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
to the Statement of Net Position
September 30, 2021
Total fund balance -governmental funds balance sheet $ 28,951,609
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position
are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources
and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. 75,676,563
Deferred losses on refunding are reported as deferred outlfows of resources and
deferred gains on refunding are reported as deferred inflows in the government -wide
statement of net position. This amount is the net effect of deferred losses of $544,712
and deferred gains of ($131,930). 412,782
Revenues earned but not available within sixty days of the fiscal year-end are not
recognized as revenue in the fund financial statements. 5,754
Deferred outflows of resources related to the Town's TMRS pension liability
and OPEB liability increased net position by $519,668 and $29,416, respectively;
while the Town's TMRS deferred resource inflows related to the pension
liability and OPEB liability decreased net position by $234,172 and $3,636.
This amount is the net effect. 311,276
Deferred outflows of resources related to the Academy's TRS pension liability
and OPEB liability increased net position by $2,100,145 and $416,945, respectively;
while the Academy's TRS deferred resource inflows related to the pension
liability and OPEB liability decreased net position by $396,946 and $1,694,859,
respectively. This amount is the net effect. 425,285
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources, therefore
interest payable is not reported as a liability in the governmental funds balance sheet. (131,016)
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current
period, and therefore are not reported in the fund financial statements. (40,637,633)

Town of Westlake Exhibit A-6
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the
Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2021
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds. $ 5,374,671
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation expense. 1,142,375
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the statement of activities but does not
require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation expense is not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (2,213,196)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial
resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net
position. The amortization of bond premiums and deferred gain/loss on refunding of long-
term debt is reported in the statement of activities but does not require the use of current
financial resources. Therefore, the effect of the amortization of these various items are not
reported in the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance.
This amount represents the net effect of the following items:
Repayments of long-term debt principal $
1,933,118
Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt
(7,645,000)
Premiums on issuance of long-term debt
(587,040)
Amortization of deferred gains and losses on refunding
(87,224)
Amortization of premium on bonds
127,355
Payment to bond refunding escrow agent
4,694,366 (1,564,425)
Current year changes in accrued interest payable does not require the use of current
financial resources; and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
1,426
Implementation of GASB 68 and 75 requires certain expenditures to be de -expended and
recorded as deferred outflows of resources. The changes in deferred outflows from pension and
OPEB activity for TMRS decreased net position by $94,294 and increase net position by $6,888,
respectively. The change in net pension liability increased net position by $62,429. The change in
OPEB liability decreased net position by $23,157. The change in deferred inflows of resources
from pension and OPEB activity for TMRS increased net position by $24,914 and increased net
position by $753, respectively. This amount is the net effect.
(22,467)
Implementation of GASB 68 and 75 requires certain expenditures to be de -expended and
recorded as deferred outflows of resources. The changes in deferred outflows from pension and
OPEB activity for TRS increased net position by $1,144,899 and $19,483, respectively. The change in
net pension liability decreased net position by $1,484,513. The change in OPEB liability increased net
position by $516,148. The changes in deferred inflows of resources from pension and OPEB activity for
TRS decreased net position by $127,979 and by $470,248, respectively. This amount is the net effect.
(402,210)
Current year changes in the long-term liability for compensated absences do not require
the use of current financial resources; and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.
9,280
Certain revenues in the government -wide statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenue in the governmental funds.

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

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

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
Town considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received by the Town.
The Town uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is
designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating
transactions related to certain government functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity
with a self -balancing set of accounts.
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the Town are financed.
The acquisition, use, and balances of the Town's expendable financial resources and the related liabilities
(except those accounted for in the proprietary fund type) are accounted for through governmental
funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of changes in financial position, rather than upon
income determination.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund. The General Fund balance is available for any purpose, provided it is expended or
transferred in accordance with the legally adopted budget of the Town. The General Fund includes the
Town's Major Maintenance and Replacement Fund, Vehicle Replacement Fund, and PID (local) Fund.
Westlake AcademyF- to account for all local, state and federal revenue and related educational
expenditures of the Academy.
Debt Service Fund - to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest
on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
Capital Projects Fund - to account for proceeds from long-term financing and revenue and expenditures
related to authorized construction and other capital asset acquisitions other than those related to the
expansion of Westlake Academy facilities.
45
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
In addition, the Town reports the following nonmajor governmental funds:
Visitors Association Fund - to account for municipal hotel occupancy taxes collected and expenditures
to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry.
Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation Fund - to account for investment activity relating to the Lone Star
Public Facilities Corporation.
Economic Development Fund - to account for sales tax and hotel occupancy tax collected to fund
activity relating to Economic Development agreements.
Public Arts Fund - to account for contributions restricted for public art.
4B Economic Development Corporation Fund - to account for sales tax collected to fund the activities of
the 4B Economic Development Corporation.
Solana Public Improvement District (PID) Capital Projects Fund - to account for the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and improvements relating to the Solana public improvement district.
Westlake Academy Expansion Capital Projects Fund - to account for proceeds from long-term financing
and revenue and expenditures for authorized construction related to the expansion of Westlake
Academy facilities.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental funds except capital projects,
Solana PID capital projects, Public Arts, and Westlake Academy Expansion capital projects fund, which
are project -length based budgets. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for all
appropriate funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the Town's Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the
Enterprise Fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenue and expenses.
The Town reports the following major proprietary funds:
Utility Fund - to account for revenues and expenses related to providing water and sewer services to the
general public on a continuing basis.
Cemetery Fund - to account for the operations of the Town's cemetery.
The Town reports the following fiduciary fund:
Solana PID Custodial Fund - to account for bond proceeds, assessments, and related debt associated
with bonds issued by the Town as an agent for the Solana public improvement district.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's water and wastewater
function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the
direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
46
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customer or applicants for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows/Oufflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and investments of all funds, including restricted cash, are available upon demand and are
considered to be "cash equivalents:'
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers highly -liquid investments (including
restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
State statutes authorize the Town to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the
principal of, and interest on, which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the
United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any
state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and
having received a rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state or national
banks domiciled in this state that are (a) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or its successor; or, (b) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or (6) fully
collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations
described by (1) pledged with third -party selected or (2) approved by the Town, and placed through a
primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market
prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties.
Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non -current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the
government -wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by nonspendable fund
balance in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and
are not expendable available financial resources.
The Town's property taxes are levied on October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1
for all real and business personal property located in the Town. Assessed values are established at 100%
of estimated market value. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1.
Taxes are due by January 31 following the October 1 levy date and are considered delinquent after
January 31 of each year.
All property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The net property tax
receivable allowance is equal to management's estimate of uncollectible outstanding property taxes at
September 30, 2021.
47
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Restricted Assets
Certain bond proceeds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as
restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories, which are expended as they are consumed, are stated at the lower of cost or market on a
first -in, first -out basis.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items using the consumption method in both the government -wide and fund financial
statements.
Fund Chanaes and Transactions between Funds
Legally authorized transfers are treated as transfers in and out and are included as other financing sources
(uses) of both governmental and proprietary funds.
The Town allocates an indirect cost percentage of the salaries, wages and related costs of personnel who
perform administrative services as well as other indirect costs necessary for the operation of various funds.
Expenses are budgeted and paid from the appropriate fund.
Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not
available. The cost of nominal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Donated assets are valued at their acquisition value on the date
donated. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and three years or more of life. All
infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), regardless of the acquisition date
or amount, have been included. Estimated historical cost for initial reporting of infrastructure assets (those
reported by governmental activities) was valued by estimating the current replacement cost of the
infrastructure and using an index to deflate the cost to the estimated acquisition/construction year. As
the Town constructs or acquires additional capital assets, including infrastructure assets, they are
capitalized and reported at historical cost.
Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets
Years
Water and sewer system 10-50
Buildings 20-50
Machinery and equipment 3-30
Improvements 5-30
Information systems and software 3
Compensated Absences
The Town's policy provides vacation and sick leave to be accrued at the start of employment. Employees
earn 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick leave between one year and five years of service. After
completion of 5 years of service, 15 days of vacation and 15 days of sick leave per year are earned. After
completion of 10 years of service, 20 days of vacation and 20 days of sick leave per year are earned.
Unused vacation hours are paid upon termination or retirement at the employee's normal hourly rate.
48
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs during the current period. The face amount of the debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other
financing sources while discounts are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld
from the actual proceeds, are reported as expenditures in the year of issuance.
Fund Equity and Net Position
The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that
comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the Town is bound to honor constraints
on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent.
The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:
Nonspendable: This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not
in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable
items are not expected to be converted to cash or are not expected to be converted to cash within the
next year.
Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been placed on the use of the
resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments, or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by board resolution of the Town council, the Town's highest level of decision making
authority. These amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Town council removes or
changes the specified use by taking the same type of action that was employed when the funds were
initially committed. This classification also includes contractual obligations to the extent that existing
resources have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
Assigned: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the Town's intent to be used for a
specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. In the General Fund, assigned amounts
represent intended uses established by the Town Council or the Town Finance Director who has been
delegated that authority.
Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General Fund. The unassigned
classification also includes negative residual fund balance of any other governmental fund that cannot
be eliminated by offsetting of assigned fund balance amounts.
In the government -wide financial statements, net position represents the difference between assets and
deferred outflows and liabilities and deferred inflows. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used
for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds.
Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on its use either though the
enabling legislations adopted by the Town or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors
or laws or regulations of other governments.
49
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
The government -wide and fund level financial statements report restricted fund balances for amounts
not available for appropriation or legally restricted for specific uses. When an expenditure is incurred for
purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, it is the Town's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed. When an expenditure is incurred forwhich
committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the Town considers amounts to have
been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
Pensions and Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net pension/OPEB and total OPEB liabilities, pension and OPEB related
deferred outflows and inflows of resources and pension and OPEB expense, the Town's specific
information about its Fiduciary Net Position in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and Teachers
Retirement System (TRS) and additions to/deductions from the Town's Fiduciary Net Position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS and TRS. For this purpose, plan contributions
are recognized in the period that compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions
are legally due. Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance
with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For TMRS, information regarding the Town's Total Pension Liability and Total OPEB Liability is obtained from
TMRS through reports prepared for the Town by TMRS consulting actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith &
Company, in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions.
For TRS, information regarding the Town's Total Pension Liability and Total OPEB Liability is obtained from
TRS which is a cost -sharing multi -employer defined benefit plan. Reports prepared are in compliance with
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources on the Statement of Net Position and Governmental
Fund Balance Sheet. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents
a consumption of net position that applies to a future period (s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized
as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Town has the following items that qualify for
reporting in these categories:
Deferred Oufflow/Inflow from Gain or Loss on Refunding - these deferred outflows reported at the net
position result from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This
amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Deferred Oufflow/Inflows from Pensions/OPEB - these deferred outflows/inflows reported on the Statement
of Net Position result from pension/OPEB contributions after the measurement date (deferred and
recognized as a reduction of the related liability in the following fiscal year), differences in projected and
actual earnings on pension/OPEB investments (deferred and amortized over a closed five-year period),
and differences between expected and actual experience and/or changes in assumptions (deferred
and amortized over the remaining average service life of participants.)
50
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred Outflow/Inflows from Contributions - these deferred outflows/inflows result from contributions
made or received before time requirement is met. The deferred outflows/inflows from contributions are
eliminated at the Statement of Activities and Net Position.
Deferred Inflows from Unavailable Resources - these deferred inflows result from property tax receivables
not being collected within 60 days of year-end. The deferred inflows from unavailable resources are
recorded as revenues on the Governmental -wide Statement of Activities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could
differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Cash and Investments
Legal provisions generally permit the Town to invest in certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements,
public funds investment pools, direct obligations of the United States of America or its subdivisions and
state and local government securities.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the
areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among
other things, it requires the Town to adopt, implement, and publicize its investment policy.
That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio
diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return,
(6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar - weighted
maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and
capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit.
Statutes and the Town's investment policy authorized the Town to invest in the following investments as

Notes to the Financial Statements
At year end, the carrying amount of the Town's deposits was $36,043,559 and the bank balance was
$36,278,880. The bank balance was completely covered by federal deposit insurance and collateral held
by the pledging financial institution in the Town's name.
At year end, the carrying amount of the component units' deposits was $4,898,619 and the bank balance
was $5,1 1 1,990. The bank balance was completely covered by federal deposit insurance and collateral
held by the pledging financial institution in the component units' names. The carrying amount consists of
$3,594,018 in cash and cash equivalents and $1,304,601 in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
At September 30, 2021, the Town's cash and cash equivalents consist of and are classified in the
accompanying financial statements are follows:
Primary government:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 35,460,031
Restricted cash and cash equivalents 614,135
Total primary government 36,074,166

Deposits with financial institutions $ 36,043,559
Investments 4,653,089
Total cash and cash equivalents $ 40,696,648
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes
in market interest rates. In order to limit interest and market rate risk from changes in interest rates, the
Town's investment policy sets a maximum stated maturity limit of two years for obligations of the United
States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (excluding mortgage backed securities) and one
year for fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit. No more than 80% of the Town's monthly
average balance may be invested in money market funds. Additionally, the Town invests in an investment
pool that purchases a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of 37 days thus
reducing the interest rate risk. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town's investments
to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the
Town's Investments.
As of September 30, 2021, the Town's investments were as follows:

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

Disclosures Relating to Concentration of Credit Risk
The Town's investment policy is to avoid a concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issue,
or a specific class of investments.
Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution,
a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the
event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the
value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds
Investment Act does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial
credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds
Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental
units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state
law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less the FDIC insurance at all times.
The Town requires all deposits to be covered by Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insurance and/or collateralized by qualified securities pledged by the Town's depository in the Town's
name and held by the depository's agent.
As of September 30, 2021, the Town's entire cash deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal
depository insurance were fully collateralized.
The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application,
provides a framework for measuring fair value which establishes a three -level fair value hierarchy that
describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that a
government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs - other than quoted prices included within Level 1 - that are observable for
an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
53
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
If a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, a government should measure fair value using
another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs. If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than
one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Town has recurring fair value measurements as presented in the table below. The Town's investment
balances and weighted average maturity of such investments are as follows:

On September 1, 1989, local government investment pools became authorized investments for the
majority of public entities in Texas. The Interlocal Cooperation Act was amended by the 71 st Texas
Legislature to facilitate the creation of local government investment pools in Texas. This act permits the
creation of investment pools to which a majority of political subdivisions (local governments) may
delegate, by contract, the authority to make investments purchased with local investment funds and to
hold legal title as custodian of the investments. TexPool was organized to conform with the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act,
Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code.
During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Town had investments with TexPool. TexPool, a public
funds investment pool created by the Treasurer of the State of Texas acting by and through the Texas
Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, which is empowered to invest funds and acts as custodian of
investments purchased with local investment funds. These investments are not required to be categorized
because the investor is not issued securities, but rather it owns an undivided beneficial interest in the assets
of the respective funds. The fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

Contractual Obligations Maturity Interest Rate Type
Limited pledge contractual obligation:
Dove Road Water Line and
West Pump Station 2022 6.75% $ 4,679,944
Dove Road Water Line and West Pump Station - In April 2000, the Town approved an agreement with the
Hillwood Development Corporation (Hillwood). In the agreement, Hillwood agreed to bear all initial costs
for the design, engineering and constructions of the Dove Road Water Line and the West Pump Station
that will service the residents of the Town. The Town agreed to reimburse Hillwood for the cost of the
project upon completion and the Town's acceptance of the project, which occurred in June 2001, solely
from a $.25 charge per 1,000 gallons of usage. The Town further agreed to deposit debt service revenue
of $.25 per 1,000 gallons of usage collected from Town residents to fund its repayment to Hillwood. Debt
service revenue will be allocated between Hillwood service area and Town service area by 52% and 48%,
respectively and deposited into two separate debt service funds that will result in debt service revenue
to pay the respective share of the construction cost. The Town recorded a limited pledge contractual
obligation of $4,679,944 for the project cost based upon the terms of the agreement, which requires 239
monthly principal and interest payments to Hillwood, at an interest rate of 6.75%. If the Town collects
insufficient funds to pay current interest on the debt, the interest payment may be deferred. No portion
of debt payments will be applied to the principal component, until all current and deferred interest is fully
paid. The obligation of the Town to pay the purchase price and interest thereon is not a general obligation
of the Town but is a limited recourse obligation payable solely from debt service revenue.
The schedule of future payments by the Town under these agreements is as follows:

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
The net carrying value of the old debt exceeded the reacquisition price by $150,777. The amount is
reported as a deferred inflow of resources for the Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Position
and will be amortized over the remaining life of the bonds. The bonds were refunded to reduce the Town's
total debt service payments over 10 years by $302,725 and this resulted in an economic gain (difference
between the net present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of $289,901.
Compensated Absences
Although compensated absences are liquidated by the fund to which they relate, the significant portion
of the governmental activities compensated absences has typically been liquidated by the general fund.

The Bonds are payable solely from the revenues generated by the Denton Property and are secured by
the revenues pledged and assigned under the terms of the Trust Indenture. The Town of Westlake does
not have any liability for the payment of the bonds as the bonds are non -recourse to both the Town of
Westlake and Texas Student Housing Authority. Interest rates on the bonds range from 5.00% to 1 1.00%
and are payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1 of each year thereafter.
At August 31, 2021, the Project was not in compliance with certain covenants of the Indenture including
insufficient funds in some of the required funds and a fixed charges ratio less than 1.25. In addition, all
required principal payments on the Series B bonds had not been made as of August 31, 2021. Upon
certain events of default either the trustee, or owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal of the
bonds then outstanding, may declare the principal and all interest then due to be immediately due and

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Class C and D bonds are in default and the property does not generate enough revenue to pay the debt
obligations. All of the Class C and D bonds issued remain outstanding as of August 31, 2021.
Each class has certain rights and privileges, as contained in the private placement memorandum. As a
part of the offering, the Project entered into a trust agreement with The Bank of New York (the Trustee) for
the purpose of determining that each class is paid in accordance with the private placement
memorandum.
At August 31, 2021, the Project was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result,
the lender may accelerate the maturity of the unpaid portion of the principal payable under the
installment sale agreement. However, the Authority does not anticipate this event will occur, since
foreclosure by private interests would result in the loss of tax-exempt status for the Project.
The Town of Westlake does not have any liability for the payment of debt of the discretely presented
component units as the bonds are non -recourse to both the Town and Texas Student Housing Authority.

Notes to the Financial Statements
TMRS Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the Town, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and
the Town -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may
choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven payments options. Members may also choose
to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36
monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.
TMRS Employees Covered By Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2020 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees of beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 16
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 31
Active employees
TMRS Contributions
46
93
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross earnings, and the
Town matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of
the Town. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each Town is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate
is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year,
with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the Town were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal
year. The contribution rates for the Town was 11.77% in calendar years 2020 and 2021. The Town's
contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2021, were $524,995, and were equal to the
required contributions.
TMRS Net Pension Liability
The Town's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2020, and the Total Pension
Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
that date.
TMRS Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
• Inflation 2.5% per year
• Overall payroll growth 3.5% to 1 1.5%, including inflation
• Investment Rate of Return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation
• Amortization method: Level percentage of payroll, closed
• Actuarial Cost Method: Entry Age Normal
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for post -retirement were based on
the 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis
with the scale UMP. Mortality rates for pre -retirement were based on PUB(10) mortality tables, with the
Public Safety table used for males and the General Employee table used for females. The rates are
projected on a fully generational basis with scale UMP.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2020, valuation were developed primarily from the
actuarial investigation of the experience of TMRS over the four-year period from December 31, 2014 to
December 31, 2018. They were first adopted in 2019 and first used in the December 31, 2019 actuarial
valuations.
The pension plan's policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be
amended by the Board. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital
appreciation and the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding
needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges
are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real
rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. In
determining their best estimate of a recommended investment return assumption under the various
alternative asset allocation portfolios, GRS focused on the area between (1) arithmetic mean (aggressive)
without an adjustment for time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean (conservative) with an
adjustment for time (aggressive).
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:

TMRS Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will remain at the
current 7% and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute. Based on that
assumption, the pension plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected
rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the Total Pension Liability.

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

Contributors to the plan include members, employers and the State of Texas as the only non -employer
contributing entity. The State contributes to the plan in accordance with state statutes and the General
Appropriations Act (GAA).
As the non -employer contributing entity for public education and junior colleges, the State of Texas
contributes to the retirement system an amount equal to the current employer contribution rate times the
aggregate annual compensation of all participating members of the pension trust fund during that fiscal
year reduced by the amounts described below which are paid by the employers.

instances:
• On the portion of the member's salary that exceeds the statutory minimum for members entitled
to the statutory minimum under Section 21.402 of the Texas Education Code.
• During a new member's first 90 days of employment.
• When any part or all of an employee's salary is paid by federal funding sources, a privately
sponsored source, from non -educational and general, or local funds.

In addition to the employer contributions listed above, there are two additional surcharges an employer
is subject to:
• When employing a retiree of the Teacher Retirement System the employer shall pay both the
member contribution and the state contribution as an employment after retirement surcharge.
• Public education employer contribution - all public schools and regional education service
centers must contribute 1.5% of the member's salary beginning in September 1, 2019, gradually
increasing to 2.0% on September 1, 2024.

TRS Discount Rate and Long -Term Expected Rate of Return
A single discount rate of 7.25% was used to measure the total pension liability. The single discount rate
was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.25%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the single discount rate assumed that contributions from active members and
those of the contributing employers and the non -employer contributing entity will be made at the
statutorily required rates. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods
of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best estimates ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future
real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
Best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class included in the Systems target
asset allocation as of August 31, 2020 are summarized below:

TRS Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions
At August 31, 2021, the Academy reported a liability of $2,987,427 for its proportionate share of the TRS's
net pension liability. This liability reflects a reduction for State pension support provided to the Academy.
The amount recognized by the Academy as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the related
State support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the Academy
were as follows:
Academy's proportionate share of the collective net pension liability $ 2,987,427
State's proportionate share that is associated with Academy 4,1 12,478
$ 7,099,905
The net pension liability was measured as of August 31, 2020 and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as August 31, 2019 rolled
forward to August 31, 2020. The Academy's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the
Academy's contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all employers to the plan for
the period September 1, 2019 thru August 31, 2020.
At August 31, 2020, the employer's proportion of the collective net pension liability was 0.0055779% which
was an increase of 0.0026868% from its proportion measured as of August 31, 2019.
TRS Changes since the Prior Actuarial Valuation
There were no changes in assumptions or benefits terms that affected measurement of the total pension
liability since the prior measurement date.
For the year ended August 31, 2021, the Academy recognized pension expense of $1,184,539 and
revenue of $494,640 for support provided by the State.

TMRS-SDBF Plan Description
Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS") administers a defined benefit group -term life insurance plan
known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund ("SDBF"). This is a voluntary program in which
participating member cities may elect, by ordinance, to provide group -term life insurance coverage for
their active members, including or not including retirees. Employers may terminate coverage under and
discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be
effective the following January 1. The Town has elected to participate in the SDBF for its active members
including retirees. As the SDBF covers both active and retiree participants, with no segregation of assets,
the SDBF is considered to be an unfunded single -employer OPEB plan (i.e. no assets are accumulated in
a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75) for Town reporting.
TMRS-SDBF Benefits Provided
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period
preceding the month of death). The death benefit for retirees is considered an other postemployment
benefit ("OPEB") and is a fixed amount of $7,500.
At the December 31, 2020 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 11
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 4
Active employees 46

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
TMRS-SDBF Contributions
The member city contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The funding
policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit
payments for the upcoming year. The intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during
employees' entire careers.
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the
participating member city. The contractually required contribution rate is determined annually for each
Town. The rate is based on the mortality and service experience of all employees covered by the SDBF
and the demographics specific to the workforce of the city. There is a one-year delay between the
actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the employer contribution rate and the calendar yearwhen
the rate goes into effect. The funding policy of this plan is to assure that adequate resources are available
to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year.
The retiree portion of contribution rates to the SDBF for the Town was 0.01 % in calendar years 2020 and
2021. The Town's contributions to the SDBF for the year ended September 30, 2021 were $5,899, and were
equal to the required contributions.
TMRS-SDBF Total OPEB Liability
The Town's Total OPEB Liability (TOL) was measured as of December 31, 2020 and was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date.
TMRS-SDBF Actuarial Assumptions
The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation
2.50%
Salary increases 3.50% to 11.50% including inflation
Discount rate
2.00%
Retiree's share of benefit -related costs $0
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Salary increases were based on a service - related
table. Mortality rates for post -retirement were based on the 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality
Tables. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis with scale UMP. Mortality rates for pre -
retirement were based on PUB(10) mortality tables, with the Public Safety table used for males and the
General Employee table used for females. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis with scale
UMP.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2020 valuation were developed primarily from the
actuarial investigation of the experience of TMRS over the four-year period from December 31, 2014 to
December 31, 2018. They were first adopted in 2019 and first used in the December 31, 2019 actuarial
valuation.
The discount rate used to measure the Total OPEB Liability was 2.00% and was based on the Fidelity Index's
"20-Year Municipal GO AA Index" rate as of December 31, 2020.

TRS-Care Health Care Coverage
During the period ended August 31, 2021, employees of the Academy (a blended component unit of the
Town) who met minimum eligibility requirements were covered by a state-wide health care plan, TRS
Active Care. The Academy's participation in this plan is renewed annually. The Academy paid into the
Plan $397 per month per employee and $322 per month when the employee works less than 30 hours per
week if eligible to enroll in TRS Active Care. Employees, at their option, pay premiums for any coverage
above these amounts as well as for dependent coverage.

TRS-Care Contributions
Contribution rates for the TRS-Care plan are established in state statute by the Texas Legislature, and there
is no continuing obligation to provide benefits beyond each fiscal year. The TRS-Care plan is currently
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and is subject to change based on available funding. Funding for TRS-
Care is provided by retiree premium contributions and contributions from the state, active employees,
and Academy based upon Academy payroll. The TRS Board of Trustees does not have the authority to
set or amend contribution rates.
Texas Insurance Code, Section 1575.202 establishes the state's contribution rate which is 1.25% of the
employee's salary. Section 1575.203 establishes the active employee's rate which is .65% of pay. Section
1575.204 establishes an employer contribution rate of not less than 0.25 percent or not more than
0.75 percent of the salary of each active employee of the public. The actual employer contribution rate
is prescribed by the Legislature in the General Appropriations Act. The following table shows contributions
to the TRS-Care plan by type of contributor.
2020 2021
Active employee 0.65% 0.65%
Non -employer contribution entity (state) 1.25% 1.25%
Employers/District 0.75% 0.75%

The contribution amounts for the Academy's fiscal year 2021 are as follows:
2021 Employer contributions $ 46,994
2021 Member contributions 39,665
2020 Plan year NECE on -behalf contributions (state) 62,186
In addition, the State of Texas contributed $26,729, $24,620, and $20,423 in 2021, 2020, and 2019,
respectively, for on -behalf payments for Medicare Part D.
In addition to the employer contributions listed above, there is an additional surcharge all TRS employers
are subject to (regardless of whether or not they participate in the TRS Care OPEB program). When
employers hire a TRS retiree, they are required to pay to TRS Care, a monthly surcharge of $535 per retiree.
TRS-Care Actuarial Assumptions
The actuarial valuation of the total OPEB liability was performed as of August 31, 2019. Updated
procedures were used to roll forward the total OPEB liability to August 31, 2020. The actuarial valuation of
the OPEB plan offered through TRS-Care is similar to the actuarial valuation performed for the pension
plan, except that the OPEB valuation is more complex.
The following assumptions used for the valuation of the TRS-Care OPEB liability are identical to the
assumptions employed in the August 31, 2020 TRS annual pension actuarial valuation:

A single discount rate of 2.33% was used to measure the total OPEB liability at August 31, 2020. There was
a decrease of 0.30% in the discount rate since the August 31, 2019 measurement date. The plan is
essentially a "pay-as-you-go" plan, and based on the assumption that contributions are made at the
statutorily required rates, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to not be able to make all
future benefit payments to current members and therefore, the single discount rate is equal to the
prevailing municipal bond rate. The source for the rate is the Fixed Income Market Data / Yield Curve /

contributions to the OPEB plan relative to the contributions of all employers to the plan for the period
September 1, 2019 thru August 31, 2020.
At August 31, 2020 the employer's proportion of the collective Net OPEB Liability was .0060886508% which

TRS-Care Changes Since the Prior Actuarial Valuation. The following were changes to the actuarial
assumptions or other inputs that affected measurement of the Total OPEB liability since the prior
measurement period.
• The discount rate changed from 2.63% as of August 31, 2019 to 2.33% as of August 31, 2020.
This change increased the total OPEB liability.
The ultimate health care trend assumption was lowered from 4.50% to 4.25% as a result of
Congress' repeal of the excise (Cadillac) tax on high -cost employer health plans in December
2019. These changes decreased the total OPEB liability.
• The participation rate for pre-65 retirees was lowered from 50% to 40%. This change
decreased the total OPEB liability.
For the year ended August 31, 2021, the Academy recognized OPEB expense of ($39,985) and revenue
of ($21,596) for support provided by the State.

Note 13. Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The Town's general liability, workers'
compensation liability, law enforcement liability, errors and omissions liability, and automobile liability
coverage is insured by the Texas Municipal League, a public entity risk pool. The Town's only responsibility
to the Texas Municipal League is to pay premiums for insurance and related deductible amounts of these
policies. Other risk of loss is covered by commercial insurance. Settlements of claims have not exceeded
coverage in the past three years.
Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 14. Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the Town. In the opinion of Town management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the potential loss on these claims and lawsuits will not materially affect
the Town's financial position.
Circle T Municipal Utility Districts
The Town and Hillwood are currently in discussions regarding the debt for Municipal Utility District's (MUDS)
#1 and #3 on the Circle T property in Westlake which is controlled by AIL Investments, L.P. As this property
develops, Hillwood agreed to de -annex developed property from the MUDs in exchange for pro-rata
payments on water and sewer infrastructure installed by the MUDs at their inception.
To date, three projects, Lexington TNI, Deloitte University, and Charles Schwab, have been or are being
developed within these MUDs. Discussions regarding the Town's payment to AIL Investments, L.P. in
exchange for de -annexation of these three tracks from the Circle T MUDs have taken place but have not
come to a conclusion as to the settlement amounts. These discussions are ongoing until the Town receives
full documentation that it determines is adequate to support the requested payments. The Town of
Westlake holds full rights and privileges under the State granted Certificate of Convenience and Necessity
(CCN) and can serve all water and sewer customers within these MUD boundaries regardless of the status
of these negotiations.
Note 15. Solana Public Improvement District
On February 24, 2014, the Town Council granted a petition by Maguire Partners -Solana Land, LP in
resolution 14-07 to authorize and provide for the creation of a public improvement district, The Solana
Public Improvement District ("the District"). The District encompasses approximately 85 acres currently
being developed as a master -planned mixed -use development known as "Westlake Entrada" that is
expected to include, among other things, condominiums, residential villas, hotels, office, retail,
commercial, institutional and hospitality uses, and a wedding event center. The District was created in
accordance with Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
On February 5, 2015, the Town Council approved issuance of $26,175,000 of Special Assessment Revenue
Bonds, Series 2015 related to the District. The Public Improvement District Bonds (The Bonds) are special
and limited obligations of the Town payable solely from the pledged revenues and other funds comprising
the Trust Estate, as and to the extent provided in the indenture. The bonds do not give rise to a charge
against the general credit or taxing power of the Town and are payable solely from the sources identified
in the indenture. The owners of the bonds shall never have the right to demand payment thereof out of
money raised or to be raised by taxation, or out of any funds of the Town other than the Trust Estate, as
and to the extent provided in the indenture; and, no owner of the bonds shall have the right to demand
any exercise of the Town's taxing power to pay the principal of the bonds or the interest or redemption
premium, if any, thereon. The Town shall have no legal or moral obligation to pay the bonds out of any
funds of the Town other than the Trust Estate in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code.
The proceeds from the bond issue are being used as follows: payment of a portion of the costs of
construction, acquisition, or purchase of certain water, wastewater and roadway public improvements
for the special benefit of the District; funding a reserve fund; funding capitalized interest; payment of a
portion of the costs incidental to the organization of the District; and payment of the cost of issuance of
the bonds. The Town is not, and will not be obligated to provide any funds to finance construction of
authorized improvements. All design and construction costs of the District's authorized public
improvements will be paid from the District assessments and from other sources of funds, if any, to the
extent provided in the Trust Indenture.

Town of Westlake
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 16. Tax Abatements
The Town enters into economic development agreements authorized under Chapter 380 of the Texas
Local Government Code and Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code. These agreements are planning tools
designed to stimulate economic activity, redevelopment, community improvement, and provide a return
on investment for the community. These programs abate or rebate property and/or sales and hotel/motel
taxes and may include other incentive payments such as fee reductions or construction costs
reimbursements. Economic development agreements are considered on a case -by -case basis by the
Town Council and generally contain recapture provisions, which may require repayment or termination
if recipients do not meet the required provisions of the economic incentives.
Other Economic Agreements
Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the Town to provide grants for the purpose of
promoting local economic development. These grants are based on a percentage of property and/or
sales tax received by the Town. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the Town abated $594,163
in property taxes.
Note 17. Going Concern
The 2021 financial statements were prepared assuming the Texas Student Housing entities will continue as
going concerns. The Texas Student Housing entities' bonds payable are considered to be in default due
to not making full principal and interest payments and, therefore, are reported as current liabilities. This is
considered an event of default by the Trustees, which gives the bondholders the right to accelerate and
demand payment of the bonds in full. Management and the property managers are in the process of
developing and implementing plans to increase occupancy and rental rates at the properties to improve
their financial performance.
Note 18. Subsequent Events
The Town has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2021 up through
May 17, 2022, the date the financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no material
subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements, except
as follows:
Bond Issuance
On February 15, 2022, the Town issued $14,920,000 of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2022.
These bonds were issued to refund the contractual obligations owed by the Town's Utility Fund (business -
type activities) consisting of $4,679,944 of principal and accrued interest of $1 1,001,089. These bonds have
an interest rate of 4.0% and will mature in 2030.
Note 19. GASB Pronouncements Implemented by the Town
GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. This Statement was issued in January 2017 and provides
guidance to enhance the consistency and comparability of fiduciary activity reporting by (1) establishing
specific criteria for identifying activities that should be reported as fiduciary activities and (2) clarifying
whether and how business -type activities should report their fiduciary activities. Beginning net position of
the PID Custodial Fund was restated by $4,048,673, and beginning net position of the governmental
activities and beginning fund balance of the Westlake Academy Fund (major special revenue) were
restated by $56,123 as a result of the implementation of this pronouncement.

Town of Westlake
Notes to Budgetary Comparison Schedules
Budgetary Information - The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing the budgetary data
reflected in the budgetary comparison schedules:
The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
2. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an ordinance. This budget
is reported as the Original Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
3. During the fiscal year, changes to the adopted budget may be authorized, as follows:
a. Items requiring Town Council action - appropriation of fund balance reserves; transfers of
appropriations between funds; new inter -fund loans or advances; and creation of new
capital projects or increases to existing capital projects.
b. Items delegated to the Town Manager - appropriation balances from an expenditure
account to another within a single fund.
4. Budget amounts are reflected after all authorized amendments and revisions. This budget is
reported as the Final Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules.
5. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Town's
management may make transfers of appropriations within a fund. Transfers of appropriations
between funds require the approval of the Town Council. The legal level of budgetary control is
the fund level. The Town Council made several supplementary budget appropriations during the
year.
6. Commitments are for goods or services in future years. Accounting under other commitments for
the expenditure of resources are recorded to reserve a portion of the governmental funds. The
budgeted commitments lapse at year-end and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities
because the commitments must be re -appropriated, budgeted, and honored during the
subsequent year.
7. Prior to August 25 of the preceding fiscal year, the Westlake Academy prepares a budget for the
next succeeding fiscal year beginning September 1. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them. A meeting of the Board of Trustees is then called
for the purpose of adopting the proposed budget. Prior to September 1, the budget is legally
enacted through resolution by the Board. Once a budget is approved, it can only be amended
at the object, function and fund level by approval of a majority of the members of the Board.
Amendments are presented to the Board at its regular meetings. Each amendment made before
the fact, is reflected in the official minutes of the Board, and is not made after fiscal year end. All
budget appropriations lapse at year-end.

Notes:
Prior to fiscal year ended September
30, 2011,

Overlapping
rates are those of local and county
governments that apply to property owners within the Town of Westlake.
Not all overlapping
rates apply
to all
Town's property
owners (e.g.,
the rates for the
counties and school
districts apply
only to the proportion of the
Town's property
owners
whose property is
located within
the geographic
boundaries of the
county and school district)

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