FROM: Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director, Finance SUBJECT: Hold public hearing, discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1029 approving the Annual Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, including a taxpayer impact statement. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 1029 Adopt FY2026 Budget 2. Exhibit A - FY2026 Proposed Budget 3. Exhibit B - FY2026 Proposed Capital Improvement Plan 4. Taxpayer Impact Statement SUMMARY : The proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Operating and Capital Budget includes $34,973,808 in revenue and $31,002,720 in expenditures, resulting in a $3,971,088 contribution to fund balance across all funds. This is an increase of approximately 5% in both revenues and expenditures from the FY2025 adopted budget. The Proposed Budget was made available for public inspection online on August 15th and the public hearing was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on August 31st. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Town Council is required by Texas Local Government Code §102 to hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Operating and Capital Budget and adopt an annual budget prior to the new fiscal year beginning. The Town held budget work sessions as part of each of the two (2) preceding Council meetings to publicly discuss assumptions, projected revenues and expenditures, capital improvement items, service level adjustments, and tax rates. The proposed budget, as published, includes the following changes from the prior year adopted budget: • Tax rate of $0.18500 per $100 of value • Sales tax projections increasing $1.6m • Development fees projections decreasing $525k • Utility fees projections increasing $1.7m • Full-time equivalent staff of 55.5 a net increase of 3 positions (reduction of one paramedic at the Academy, addition of 1 parks/PW employee, addition of 2 in the building department and 1 project manager) • Employee compensation package changes totaling $522k (new employees and benefit changes) • Cash-funded capital expenditures & service level adjustments totaling $1.4m Town Council/Board of Trustees AGENDA ITEM REPORT Page 202 of 481 • Debt service increases for newly issued obligations totaling $506k These changes will allow the Town to continue providing high-quality and responsive service, prepare for future capital needs without reliance on additional debt, and ensure the ability to attract and retain employees that support the strategic vision laid out by Council. The proposed annual operating budget and capital improvement plan for FY2026 includes a full schedule of revenues and expenditures by fund and a summary of all outstanding debt obligations. Due to the passage of House Bill 1522 during the 89th Legislative Session, this agenda item includes a taxpayer impact statement. The statement includes a metric (median-valued homestead) that is not an industry-standard; taxpayers should refer to their appraisal districts for their taxable values. FISCAL IMPACT: The FY2026 Annual Operating and Capital Budget is $34,973,808, which includes $31,002,720 in expenditures and $3,971,088 contribution to fund balance, across all funds.

Boyle, Town Attorney Page 205 of 481 TOWN OF WESTLAKE PROPOSED BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 This budget will raise more total property taxes than last year’s budget by $607,995 or 14.87%, and of that amount $369,294 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year. Page 206 of 481 August 15, 2025 Honorable Mayor and Town Council: In accordance with the Texas Local Government Code, I am pleased to submit the proposed budget for the Town of Westlake Fiscal Year 2026. The fiscal year begins October 1, 2025, and ends September 30, 2026. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan totals $34,973,808 in revenue and $31,002,720 in expenditures. This is an increase of approximately 5% from the FY2025 adopted budget and includes the following changes: Tax rate of $0.185 per $100 of property value Total full-time equivalent positions of 55.5, which includes a net 3 increase Inclusion of $1,376,500 in capital expenditures and service level adjustments Plans for a $3,971,088 contribution to fund balance across all funds to reduce future debt needs This proposed budget was carefully prepared through the collective efforts of all departments to balance the identified needs of the Town with a sustainable and sound financial plan. The proposed budget is focused on achieving the following goals: Continuing high quality services and responsive customer service; Leaning out departmental operations budget; Preparing a balanced budget that creates a surplus for future CIP and equipment replacements; Retaining and attracting employees who support the community’s vision; and Offering transparency into the financial plans and status of the Town. BUDGET STRATEGIES The proposed budget is influenced by the following: State of Texas law and policy, Council direction, fiscal & budgetary policies, recommendations from the Town Manager, input from citizens, Government Finance Officers Association guidelines, and general budgeting principles. TOWN COUNCIL POLICIES & PRIORITIES The Town Council worked with a third party during FY25 to develop a strategic plan for the Town, including the Academy, which includes a financial sustainability plan, influences future capital spending, and provides guidance on future development, programs, and services. The strategic plan was heavily relied upon for the development of the proposed budget. VISION Westlake will preserve its unique charm and natural beauty, promoting a vibrant community, cultivating strategic partnerships with residents and corporate stakeholders. MISSION Westlake provides a superior quality of life through excellent municipal service delivery and world-class education. 2 Page 207 of 481 FISCAL & BUDGETARY POLICIES The Town’s fiscal and budgetary policies address the Town’s operating budgets, revenue management, expenditure control, fund balance/retained earnings, debt management, grants, economic development, audits, internal controls, and asset management. These policies are included in our annual budget document for residents to review and staff to use as a guiding set of principles each year. BUDGET PRINCIPLES The Town’s budget principles for sound fiscal management include:  Plan, manage, and fund debt service and related service delivery programs;  Maintain fund balance in accordance with the policy and future obligations;  Oversee facilities and infrastructure;  Provide exceptional and responsive public services; and  Provide competitive employee compensation. PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX The proposed municipal property tax rate (or ad valorem rate) will increase the current adopted rate of $0.16788 per $100 of assessed valuation to $0.18500 per $100. This rate is slightly higher (by $0.00597) than the no-new- revenue rate, which is the total tax rate needed to generate the same amount of property tax revenue for the Town from the same properties between the 2025 tax year and the 2026 tax year. This is also the first increase to the rate since 2020. This budget adheres to direction the Council gave to adjust the tax rate for newly issued certificates of obligation, appropriate and adopt an updated capital improvement plan, and focus on best practices. These directives help ensure we plan for the Town’s financial stability and are better prepared to meet the service delivery expectations of our community. Our approach to both revenue estimating and expenditure requests continue to proceed in a fiscally conservative manner and still allow Westlake the ability to exceed expectations of our residents. The ad valorem tax is allocated between Maintenance and Operations (M&O) in the General Fund and Interest and Sinking (I&S) debt service for the Town. The allocation for M&O is $0.13000 and the projected revenue totals $3.3M. The allocation for I&S debt service is $0.05500 and the projected revenue totals $1.4M. Please see the tax rate change below: Tax Rate Change $0.11788 $0.13000 $0.01220 $0.05000 $0.05500 $0.00500 3 Page 208 of 481 Westlake has experienced rising values due to the market conditions over the past few years. For FY26, the appraised valuations continued to rise, but not at the rate previously experienced. The appraised value of all real property in Westlake is $3.44B, which is an increase of $105M or 3.2%. The certified taxable value is $2.79B, which is an increase of $328M or 13.4%. The average taxable value of a homestead is $2.49M, which is a decrease of $215K or 8%. Due to the increase in the property tax rate, the average homeowner would see an increase of $66 to their annual bill. The difference between the appraised value and the taxable value are the Town’s homestead and other exemptions. The Town offers the following exemptions and property tax rate reduction programs to our residents:  Homestead Exemption  Additional 65+ or Disabled Exemption  Additional Tax Ceiling, or Tax Freeze, for 65+ or Disabled  Property Tax Reduction from $0.05 Additional Sales & Use Tax 2.5 2.7 3.16 3.3 3.44 1.66 1.96 2.25 2.49 2.79 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 Appraised vs. Taxable Value (shown in billions) Appraised Taxable 4 Page 209 of 481 PROPOSED BUDGET In FY26, revenues are budgeted at $35.0M for all funds. This includes a decrease of approximately $2M in lower development, citation, and transfer activities than budgeted in FY25 and is offset by higher sales tax and utility revenues. Expenditures are budgeted at $31.0M for all funds. This is almost a 5% increase of $1.4M from prior year adopted. This increase includes $400k for a replacement ambulance, addition of 3 full-time equivalent positions, benefit adjustments and raises for Town staff, economic development activity (approved by the Westlake Development Corporation), and necessary investment in the Town’s capital improvement plan. The ad valorem-backed debt service fund will include a deficit to account for prior year excess collections.

This also includes $1.5M in direct cash transfer to the Academy to cover standard operating expenses. Due to the scrutiny of staff during budget development, the total amount within the Town’s budget has been reduced by $1.8M. The FY26 proposed budget adds net 3.00 full-time equivalent positions: cut 1 paramedic on campus, add 2 planning and development employees, add 1 project manager in the Town Manager department, and add 1 parks/public works employee. Additional changes to Westlake’s compensation package include: 3.5% raises for current employees; implementation of longevity, step up, and certification pays to industry standard; and the adoption of a retroactive cost-of-living element to the pension. No changes in cost for health benefits are planned.

Throughout FY26 Town staff will:  Review departmental budget expenditures and communicate needs to Council;  Monitor revenue sources and make appropriate recommendations;  Report on the financial standing of the Town;  Implement the additional resources requested timely and effectively;  Implement the new adopted capital improvement/replacement plan; and  Develop a building envelope program for prudent facility maintenance. In adherence to our fiscal policies, the budget will continue to be monitored monthly and regular updates will be provided to the Town Council. The budget is intended to be a tool that communicates how revenues will be collected in order to meet service delivery needs that may arise within our community. It is expected that these amounts will need to be adjusted during the year, which will be handled in line with the approved budget transfer policy or presented to Council for amendment. We are very fortunate to work alongside a team of professionals in our academic and municipal areas and to serve with a Town Council who is committed to successful governance. This proposed budget is hereby provided for public inspection in anticipation of the public hearings on the proposed tax rate and annual operating budget, scheduled on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 4:00 pm in the Council Chambers located at 1500 Solana Boulevard, Building 7, Suite 7100, Westlake, Texas 76262. We are truly Distinctive by Design and are proud to be a part of creating such a wonderful place.

FROM: Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director, Finance SUBJECT: Discuss, consider and act to approve Resolution 25-36 ratifying the property tax revenue increase. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res 25-36 Ratify Revenue SUMMARY : The FY2026 Annual Operating and Capital Budget includes projected property tax revenue that exceeds the amount budgeted in the prior fiscal year. The FY2026 projected total revenue from the proposed ad valorem rate is $4,696,742, which is more than the $4,071,694 in the FY2025 adopted budget. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Texas Local Government Code §102.007(c) requires the Town Council to hold a record vote, separate from the votes to adopt a budget (as provided in LGC 102) or a tax rate (as provided in Texas Tax Code 26), to ratify the revenue increase over the prior year's budgeted revenue. Due to additional value from new construction and the proposed increased tax rate, the FY2026 budget does include more projected revenue than the amount budgeted in FY2025. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to this item.

FROM: Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director, Town Secretary's Office SUBJECT: Hold public hearing, discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1030 to Levy an Ad Valorem Rate for Tax Year 2025. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 1030 - Levy Ad Valorem Tax Rate 2. 2025 Certification of Additional Sales and Use Tax to Pay Debt Services 3. 2025 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet-Town of Westlake - signed SUMMARY : The Town of Westlake will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed ad valorem rate of $0.185000 per $100 of value on all real property for tax year 2025 prior to considering action. The ad valorem rate consists of two (2) components considered for approval: the maintenance and operations (M&O) rate of $0.135000 and the interest and sinking (I&S) rate of $0.055000. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Town Council voted to advertise a maximum tax rate of $0.18500 per $100 of value and hold a public hearing on September 16, 2025 during their last regular meeting. The public hearing was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on August 31, 2025. The tax year 2025 proposed total tax rate of 18.5 cents is an increase of 1.7 cents over the prior year's total adopted rate and is the first increase since 2020. The total rate is proposed to be allocated as follows: • 13 cents to M&O to support General Fund operations • 5.5 cents to I&S to support debt service The increase does include an allocation of one-half cent to the I&S portion to meet increased debt obligations for a new issuance that occurred during FY2025. The additional 1.2 cents of the increase will go to support general fund activities, including capital equipment purchases, three (3) additional positions, and continued best practice implementation throughout operations. As presented in the FY2026 proposed budget, the proposed tax rate will yield a projected $4.7m in property tax revenues, with $3.3m allocated to general maintenance and operations, and $1.4m allocated to debt obligations. The Town of Westlake does have additional debt obligations that are funded through sales tax and utility fee revenues; these obligations are not included in the I&S allocation, as certified by the Director of Finance. As required by Tax Code Chapter 26, the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector calculated the following required property tax rates: Town Council/Board of Trustees AGENDA ITEM REPORT Page 239 of 481 • No-new-revenue rate (rate that would yield the same revenue on existing property year-over- year): $0.179030 • Voter-approval rate (maximum rate allowed to be levied without an election): $0.205756 • De minims rate (rate that would yield $500k over the prior year's revenue): $0.196361 The proposed rate is higher than the no-new-revenue rate by less than 0.6 cents and lower than the voter-approval rate by more than 2 cents. Tarrant and Denton Central appraisal districts certified a total taxable value for tax year 2025 of $2.8b, an increase of $328m or 13%. Approximately $200m of the increase is directly attributable to new construction. The average taxable value of a home decreased $215k from the prior year to $2,491,057. Under the proposed rate, that average homeowner tax levy would be $4,608.45, which is an increase of $65.64 annually. New construction is projected to contribute $369k in property tax revenue. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed tax rate will yield a projected $4,696,742 in property tax revenue.

A resident is eligible for an exemption under this section if the resident is over 65 or disabled, but the resident shall not be entitled to two exemptions under this section, as set out in section 11.13(b) of the Texas Tax Code. c) The Town of Westlake previously adopted an ad valorem tax limitation in section 86-2 of the Town Code, for elderly and disabled citizens according to Article VIII, Section 1- b of the Texas Constitution and Texas Tax Code §11.261, which provides: "The county, municipality, or junior college district may not increase the total annual amount of ad valorem taxes the county, municipality, or junior college district imposes on the residence homestead of a disabled individual or an individual 65 years of age or older above the amount of the taxes the county, municipality, or junior college district imposed on the residence homestead in the first tax year, other than a tax year preceding the tax year in which the county, municipality, or junior college district established the limitation described by Subsection (a), in which the individual qualified that residence homestead for the exemption provided by Section 11.13(c) for a disabled individual or an individual 65 years of age or older." This provision, commonly referred to as a “tax freeze” means that residents who are already eligible for the provisions of that section will not have any increase in their taxes from the time that they became eligible, as citizens of Westlake; for that section. SECTION 4: Texas Tax Code §26.05(b) requires the following statement: THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR’S TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 3.6 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $4.50. Page 242 of 481 Ordinance 1030 Page 3 SECTION 5: The Town of Westlake will pursue collection of delinquent taxes and adopts the provisions of Section 33.07 of the Texas Tax Code so that hereafter an additional penalty of twenty (20) percent of the delinquent tax, penalty and interest on delinquent taxes will be imposed on taxes becoming delinquent as provided by the Texas Tax Code and the Town's collection agreement. SECTION 6: If any portion of this Ordinance shall, for any reason, be declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof and the Council hereby determines that it would have adopted this Ordinance without the invalid provision. SECTION 7: That this Ordinance shall become effective from and after its date of passage. PASSED AND APPROVED ON THIS 16th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2025.

These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The calculation process starts after the chief appraiser delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable. School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District without Chapter 313 Agreements or Comptroller Form 50-884 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District with Chapter 313 Agreements. Water districts as defined under Water Code Section 49.001(1) do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-858 Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet for Low Tax Rate and Developing Districts or Comptroller Form 50-860 Developed Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet. The Comptroller’s office provides this worksheet to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical assistance and not legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption. SECTION 1: No-New-Revenue Tax Rate The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease. The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.

The voter-approval tax rate is split into two separate rates: 1. Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and day-to-day operations. 2. Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit’s debt payments in the coming year. This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds and other debt secured by property tax revenue. The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit’s debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate. 13 Tex.

Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1) or (2).

FROM: Jason Alexander, Deputy Town Manager, Planning and Dev SUBJECT: Hold a public hearing, discuss, consider and act regarding Ordinance 1034 to approve a request for a specific use permit and a site plan to allow for a water and sewage pumping station that is located above grade, located at 16150 Roanoke Road, legally described as Tract 7F, Abstract 648, Huff, William Survey, HUFF, Town of Westlake, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned as PD3-9, Circle T Planning Area No. 9 – North Commercial Planned Development Zoning District (SUP Case No. 2025-01). ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance No. 1034 2. SUP Narrative (1) 3. Site Elevations (1) 4. Site Plan Exhibit (1) 5. Existing Cade Branch Lift Station (1) SUMMARY : The Trinity River Association (“TRA”) is requesting a specific use permit and site plan approval to allow for and to operate a water and sewage pumping station (above grade). While the use is appropriate for the site and the general area, there are additional provisions for architecture and landscape architecture that are recommended to ensure the goals for development in PD3-9 are achieved. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Department of Planning and Development recommends approval of the specific use permit with the condition that the pumping station be enclosed on all sides by a screening wall constructed of full-depth natural stone or natural stone veneer and all fencing surrounding the water and sewage pumping station (above ground), whether required or provided, shall be inside of the required visual screening wall. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: BACKGROUND: On September 14, 1998, the Town Council, then the Board of Alderman, approved Ordinance 307, which established the Circle T Ranch Planned Development Zoning District Number 3 (“PD3”) Supplement providing for various development provisions within the Circle T Ranch. On the same day, the Town Council, then too, the Board of Alderman, also approved Ordinance 315, which created PD, Planned Development District 3-9 (“PD3-9”) and related regulations for development. Ordinance 315 provides district development standards for the properties located in the PD3-9, including but not limited to, the allowed uses, height of the buildings, and minimum lot requirements. Town Council/Board of Trustees AGENDA ITEM REPORT Page 255 of 481 DISCUSSION: The purpose of PD3-9 is to “provide for a superior design of lots or buildings” as well as to ensure “an appropriate balance between the intensity of development and the ability to provide adequate supporting public facilities and services.” The eastern and the southeastern boundaries of PD3-9 provide visibility from State Highway 170; and the land use schedule found in PD3-9 supports a wide range of land uses that are either permitted by-right or that require a specific use permit. The land use schedule, together with additional urban design standards, are intended to create an environment with a compatible mixture of activities capable of leveraging a highly visible location along State Highway 170. Accordingly, the presence of a water and sewage pumping station (above grade) is a use that is compatible for the proposed location and the vision for the area that is reflected by the standards contained within PD3-9. However, the design (i.e., aesthetic) of a water sewage pumping station (above grade) should be compatible with the existing and future aesthetic of the State Highway 170 Corridor, as the Strategic Plan identifies this critical transportation corridor as a major focus of the economic development efforts of the Town of Westlake. The Trinity River Association (“TRA”) is seeking a specific use permit and a site plan approval to allow for a water and sewage pumping station (above grade), that may be referred to as the Cade Branch Lift Station, to be built and operated. In PD3-9, water and sewage pumping stations that are located above grade require a specific use permit to be approved by Town Council. In addition, the ordinance requires a site plan for any development to be reviewed and approved by the Town Council. In accordance with the procedures of the Unified Development Code, as amended, the Town Council may authorize (i.e., approve) the issuance of a specific use permit after recommendations from the Town Planner and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Cade Branch Lift Station, if approved, will consist of: • Below grade concrete lift station; • Above grade electrical building; • Above grade non-hazardous chemical storage tank; • Above grade diesel powered standby generator; • Above ground odor control system and; and • Other appurtenances at the site such as paved access and site lighting. The station will be used to move sewage and wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. As currently proposed, the site will be fenced with a split-face concrete masonry wall with controlled access gates --- and visually screened with landscaping outside of the proposed fence. An existing TRA lift station, located to the south at 14357 Roanoke Road, will be decommissioned and demolished if this specific use permit is approved. It should be noted that, if the Cade Branch Lift Station is approved, that the facility must comply with all performance standards for development adopted by the Town of Westlake, as applicable. This includes, but is not limited to, all applicable provisions found within PD3-9. Notwithstanding the requirements for landscaping found within PD3-9, the design of the proposed Cade Branch Lift Station should also meet heightened standards for architecture and landscape architecture considering its visibility from State Highway 170 and Roanoke Road --- as well as the future development envisioned and proposed for the surrounding area. Page 256 of 481 FISCAL IMPACT: N/A. LEGAL REVIEW: N/A. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission met on September 2, 2025, and recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 0 (with 1 absence) with the condition that a screening wall enclosing the station on all sides that is constructed of either full-depth natural stone material or natural stone veneer (i.e., a split face concrete masonry wall or other similar material that is faced with natural stone veneer that has a minimum depth of four inches). All fencing surrounding the water and sewage pumping station (above ground), whether required or provided, shall be inside of the required visual screening wall.

FROM: Jason Alexander, Deputy Town Manager, Planning and Dev SUBJECT: Hold a public hearing, discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1033 approving text amendments related to certain performance standards for approximately 85.9 acres of land in PD, Planned Development District 1-2 (“PD 1-2”), commonly referred to as Entrada, relating to architecture and other aesthetic matters found in Ordinance 703 and in the Entrada Design Guidelines. The property is generally located on the south side of State Highway 114, to the east of Davis Boulevard, and to the north of Solana Boulevard. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ord 1033 Text Amendment No. 2025-03 (PD Planned Development District 1-2 - CLEAN) 2. Text Amendment No. 2025-03 (PD Planned Development District 1-2 - DRAFT REDLINES) 3. Entrada Westlake Design Guidelines (Draft Amendments - 09.02.2025) SUMMARY : The purpose of PD, Planned Development District 1-2 ("PD 1-2") and the Entrada Design Guidelines (the "Guidelines") is to create a community that intentionally mixes residential uses with commercial uses and civic uses while creating a strong sense of place. Text amendments to PD 1-2 have not always been compatible with the Guidelines and has resulted in inconsistent interpretations and applications of development standards --- particularly those that regulate and guide architecture, landscape architecture, and other aesthetic matters. The proposed text amendments are intended to ensure consistency in the development standards across PD 1-2 and the Entrada Design Guidelines to ensure predictability and consistency in development review and approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Department of Planning and Development recommend approval of the text amendments as presented. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The proposed text amendments to the PD, Planned Development District 1-2 (“PD 1-2”) Ordinance build upon the Strategic Plan --- adopted by the Town Council on February 18, 2025 --- and the Department of Planning and Development recommends approval of the proposed amendments as presented. On April 22, 2013, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 703, establishing PD 1-2. The purpose of PD 1-2 is to create an environment in which residential uses, commercial uses, and civic uses may co-exist in proximity while providing architecture and landscape architecture of an elevated character and quality. Town Council/Board of Trustees AGENDA ITEM REPORT Page 273 of 481 On December 14, 2015, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 760, establishing “detailed design guidelines” that are applicable to development in Entrada (the “Design Guidelines”). The Design Guidelines have not been revised since December 2015. Although there have been subsequent amendments to Ordinance No. 703 (e.g., Ordinance No. 830, Ordinance No. 918, Ordinance No. 934, Ordinance No. 959, Ordinance No. 994, Ordinance No. 997, Ordinance No. 1001 and Ordinance No. 1022), with the last ordinance introducing new land uses (i.e., stacked flats) and additional considerations for architecture, there have not been complementary or supporting updates to the Design Guidelines. As such, the subsequent amendments to Ordinance No. 703 were not always paired with possible amendments to Ordinance No. 760. Hence, the misalignment between the base provisions for architecture found in Ordinance No. 703 and the standards for architecture, landscape architecture, and other aesthetic matters found in the Design Guidelines and other development-related codes, ordinances, and regulations. In collaboration with the Developer, the proposed text amendments are intended to align the architectural standards found in PD 1-2, as established by Ordinance No. 703, with those contained in the Design Guidelines established by Ordinance No. 760. Moreover, it is also the intent of the proposed amendments to PD 1-2 and the Design Guidelines to reinforce the distinct and iconic architecture of Entrada (e.g., Catalan Architecture and Southern European Architecture). DISCUSSION: The proposed text amendments to the PD 1-2 Ordinance and to the Design Guidelines --- as shown in the draft ordinance --- primarily focus on the following: • Section 2. This section introduces new definitions for “Building Façade”, “Civic Space”, and “Principal Entrance”. • Section 3. This Section removes the standards for architecture that are specifically related to stacked flats in their entirety (i.e., these standards are now contained within Section 11 of the PD 1-2 Ordinance). • Section 4. This Section amends and introduces standards for architecture that are related to residential, non-residential, and mixed-use construction. In particular: 1. Section 11.1 primarily advises that the standards for architecture, landscape architecture, and other aesthetic matters are reviewed together with those found in the Design Guidelines. 2. Section 11.2 primarily advises that a site plan and building elevation review and approval is required by the Town prior to the issuance of any construction permit and building permit. This Section 11.2 also advises that any deviation request from the provisions of Ordinance PD 1-2 concerning matters of aesthetics are subject to review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the Town Council. 3. Section 11.3 introduces general standards for architecture (e.g., building façades, roofs, openings, attachments, et cetera) that are consistent with the same provisions found in the recently adopted TC, town center form-based development district. 4. Section 11.4 clarifies that building elements that are not intended for human occupancy may exceed the building height limit by up to 20 feet. Page 274 of 481 5. Section 11.5 clarifies the permitted exterior finish materials that may be used on building façades up to six (6) stories in height. Exterior finish materials that are above the sixth story are subject to review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the Town Council. 6. Section 11.6 introduces minimum standards for the architecture for shopfronts (i.e., a specific set of requirements for non-residential uses) to stimulate visual interest at the sidewalk level and provide a delineation between non-residential uses on the first story and uses on the upper stories. (It should be noted that the previous Section 11.6 regarding awnings, canopies, awnings, and overhangs is proposed to be deleted). 7. Section 11.7 clarifies the locations and the orientations of principal entrances for principal buildings. 8. Section 11.8 clarifies the requirements for building articulations and where the requirements for which building façades that such building articulations will be required. 9. Section 11.9 clarifies the requirements for the exteriors of parking structures and signage and other visual elements that are necessary to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians alike. 10. Section 11.10 clarifies projections into the public rights-of-way and private rights-of-way and the architectural requirements for certain projections (e.g., awnings, balconies, canopies, pedestrian bridges, et cetera). 11. Section 11.11 clarifies the performance standards for outdoor seating areas, outdoor serving areas, outdoor displays of merchandise, and other business-related activities in anticipation of forthcoming and future commercial activity within Entrada having the potential to spill out onto sidewalks. These provisions are similar to those that are found in the recently adopted TC, town center form-based development district. 12. Section 11.12 clarifies the roofing materials for principal roofs and ancillary roofs, as well as the maximum pitches for sloped roofs and the minimum requirements for screening building mechanical equipment located on a low-slope (i.e., flat roof). 13. Section 11.13 advises that all landscaped areas shall be maintained in good condition by the property owner and that all such landscaped area shall comply with the specific provisions set forth in the Design Guidelines and in the Unified Development Code. (It should be noted that the previous Section 11.13 regarding non-residential exterior wall materials is proposed to be deleted). 14. Section 11.14 clarifies the materials used for gutters and downspouts. 15. Section 11.15 clarifies that all residential, non-residential, and mixed-use construction projects within PD 1-2 shall conform to all standards for architecture, landscape architecture, and other matters of aesthetics set forth in Ordinance No. 703 as amended and in the Design Guidelines. Building permits will not be issued unless they are supported in writing, as applicable, from the homeowners’ association or the property owners’ association. (It should be noted that the previous Section 11.15 regarding driveways and sidewalks is proposed to be deleted). • Section 5. This Section provides that the revised and the amended Design Guidelines are attached. The revisions and amendments to the Design Guidelines are coordinated with, and in alignment with the proposed amendments to the PD 1-2 Ordinance. The proposed amendments to the text of PD 1-2 Ordinance are consistent with recent amendments to other land development regulations and rules in the Unified Development Code. Further, the proposed amendments to the text of PD 1-2 Ordinance and the Design Guidelines are coordinated to ensure that they can be interpreted and administered as a complete set of provisions for regulating and guiding development within Entrada. Finally, these proposed amendments will support and reinforce the vision and the goals of the recently adopted Strategic Plan. It should be noted that the Page 275 of 481 proposed text amendments were prepared by the Developer in collaboration with the Office of the Town Manager and the Department of Planning and Development.

The specific standards contained in these Design Guidelines for PD1-2 has both contain building regulations and rules for a residential construction, and non- residential componentconstruction and mixed-use construction. Unless otherwise provided for in these Design Guidelines for PD 1-2, the specific standards shall apply to all residential construction, non-residential construction and vertical mixed- use construction. Those guidelines applicable exclusively to residential or non- residential uses are called out by land use. Those guidelines not specified as residential or non- residential are applicable to both land uses. There are two primary purposes accomplished through this document. These purposes are: 1. Construction Quality: Modern construction technology is most adept at allowing / facilitating the delivery of traditional and historic architectural details and themes through cost effective and fast building methods/ systems. An industry of preformed shapes, plasticized material, faux materials, attachment systems, material unitization, etc. has arisen around replication of traditional and historic architectural details. However, visual replication often fails to also deliver the essence of craftsmanship that is so much a part of the traditions that the market reveres. The Town of Westlake seeks to introduce, to preserve and to reinforce, an iconic mixed-use environment that is inspired by Catalan Architecture and, in specific instances (e.g., non-residential construction and mixed-use construction), other architectural styles that have Mediterranean and Southern European influences. These influences shall be evidenced in the palette of materials for building walls, roofs, openings, attachments and other architectural elements, as well as the quality and craftsmanship of the building techniques and practices in the creation of a Catalonian/European Village look, the evidence of artisanship and craftsmanship that is so essential to that look. Therefore, these guidelines establish additional specifications for establish materials, dimensions, and workmanship standards aimed at use of materials that can be crafted and engagement of construction techniquesthat enhance the minimum standards for architecture, landscape architecture and other aesthetic matters contained in the PD 1-2 Ordinance. 2. Capturing Essential Visual Qualities of the Catalonian Architecture/European Archetype: Although the specific standards contained within these Design Guidelines intentionally allow room for architectural experimentation, architectural exploration and architectural expression, the proposed construction and the proposed renovation of all buildings, landscaping and other improvements shall reflect and reinforce architecture, landscape architecture and a community identity derived from practices and techniques commonly found in and indigenous to Catalonia and other regions of Southern Europe bordering the Mediterranean Sea Overall planning and building arrangement should create a compact pedestrian-scaled environment mimicking the scale and livability of a small, Catalonian/European Village that has evolved organically over hundreds, if not thousands of years. Individual buildings should be designed to reinforce the pedestrian-orientation of the village, with an extreme focus on attention to detail and the inclusion of four-sided building design within the framework of the small Catalonian/European Village upon which this community IN T R O D U C T I O N Page 321 of 481 is based. The distinct physical outcomes of directed and guided by these Design Guidelines are focused delivery system will be built around construction details, methods, and systems based on modern veneer construction practices that are primarily disciplined by the building materials, configurations and techniques of a Catalan Village. Closure, edge/corner, portal, and base details associated with veneer construction will be designed to emulate the construction method of the medieval Catalonian/European Village. The present day architect, builder, and tradesman is faced with a need to translate the essence of the style through creative construction details that yield the similar appearance of Catalonian/European construction and detailing. The following Design Guidelines are intended to address these two important outcomespurposes and, in so doing, shall deliver a community of extraordinary aesthetic value that is worthy of emulation within and around the Town of Westlake promote a project for Westlake that is truly unique in the Metroplex and an achievement for both the developer and the Town. The term “SHALL” as used herein means that the specific provision is required. The term “SHOULD” as used herein means that the specific provision is highly recommended. The term “MAY” means that the specific provision is optional. The term “APPROVAL” as used herein means approval of the PD Site Plan as submitted in accordance with the governing PD1-2 ordinance Ordinance and any other written approvals received, as applicable, from the Town Manager and / or their designee, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council for any deviation from these Design Guidelines. Unless otherwise expressly prohibited by the PD 1-2 Ordinance, a property owner or a developer may appeal any determination from the Town Manager and / or their designee to the Town Council, with a recommendation provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission Opportunities to appeal to the Town of Westlake Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council are in place if approval is not provided by Town staff. 01 Page 322 of 481 Page 323 of 481 STREETSCAPE, COURTYARDS, AND WALLS Page 324 of 481 Exterior Paving For the purposes of this Section, the term “Exterior Paving” is defined as the surface treatment of roadways, walkways, parking areas, and plazas.

EX T E R I O R PA V I N G Page 330 of 481 07 Page 331 of 481 The following guideline is intended to establish the qualities of appearance and construction that retaining walls within the Entrada project should have. The on-going additive system of village development over time is replaced by design which seeks to define key visual features that the one-time project construction must embody. This guideline addresses features building materials and building configurations and techniques that are related to the construction of retaining walls only. Aspects of Wall Appearance: The appearance of retaining and foundation walls in Catalonia and other /settings in Southern Europe is a result of two (2) conditions which influence construction. The first is construction technology, meaning that a lack of heavy equipment, concrete block, and concrete systems resulted in a wall that was not simply a veneer, but a true structural section. Also, the total dependence on human labor to place and transport the stones set a range of feasible sizes that could be used for construction. The second is material which means that most stone was gathered close to the ground surface, giving the rock a mottled matrix of color. The fact that poured in place concrete was not generally employed means that the foundations were stone, making the entire wall a gravity wall. The larger foundation stones rose up from the ground, making the base course of the wall construction. The highly irregular nature of gathered stones (varying size and shape) meant that constant course leveling was necessary to maintain structural integrity. The level continuity of courses is essential to structural strength. More specifically, these aspects of wall appearance are: • Coursing Patterns: Proper coursing is achieved with highly irregular stones. The constant use of smaller stones in between larger ones is helpful to maintain course leveling. The All stones in retaining walls shall should be laid in a manner that sets the stone on its broader / flatter face. Stones should not set vertically or at odd angles shall be avoided and prohibited, but shall lay within the wall just as they would lie on the ground. This gives the wall section a basic stability. Therefore, the course pattern must be structural. A structural course pattern has the following qualities: i. Larger stones are laid within the wall just as they would lay on the ground. ii. Placement of a larger stone on another larger stone employs the use of smaller stones to level irregularities in the larger stone form, thereby creating a relatively level resting place for the larger stone being set. • Straightness: Vertical Straightness: The constant course leveling and the capacity of the wall to somewhat move with the movement of the earth, means that the vertical wall was highly irregular in most instances. However, this irregularity was not a product of poor workmanship but the varied use of stone. The face of a larger stone would slightly project or recede because the face is not flat or square. Therefore, the wall can be reasonably plumb but not flat straight. This level of vertical irregularity willshall have to be imposed by the mason where stone is a veneer over concrete block or cast in place concrete. This can be done by varying the thickness of mortar between the structural wall and the veneer and having a larger masonry ledge. Horizontal Straightness: Lacking heavy equipment and having to rely upon the wall to do most of the grade accommodation work instead of people, retaining walls often had slight irregularities in horizontal alignment. The job of the retaining wall was to level the ground for the building construction. Therefore, the wall appears to rise up from an undulating ground line to create a level top course at the building. In a contemporary development condition RE T A I N I N G WA L L S Page 332 of 481 08 where the project seeks to use all land within the legal property lines, retaining walls tend Page 333 of 481 to become a reflection of those property lines. Thereby, the wall ceases to support the building and now supports the site. While property line articulation is unavoidable, the horizontal alignment should take every opportunity to be determined by grade condition. The extent to which natural grade informs wall alignment, the more it will reflect the spirit of the village setting. • Texture: Retaining walls exhibit a great deal of texture because the mortar is deep set, giving the wall open voids between stones and courses which amplify the visual texture of the large stones and small leveling stones. These voids should shall not be filled with mortar although deep set mortar may be used. • Corners: Corners tell depict whether a wall is truly structural or simply veneer over a structural substrate. The following picture illustrates a structural corner. Note the interlocking of the coursed stones, called toothing. Note that the stone laid in the wall as it would lay on the ground allows the length of the stone to “lock” the corner. This makes the corner structural. • Cap: The wall cap is an important statement of the mason’s craft. Many of the wall samples provided do not have a cap detail. It is important that a cap detail be employed. It is possible that the wall can have a layer of earth over its top. However, concrete poured over the top of the wall should shall be avoided and shall not be approved. A cast stone cap, subject to review and approval by the Town Manager or their designee, is allowed for more formal applications. • Dimensions: The sense that the retaining wall is related to the earth, (i.e. tectonic connection), is influenced by its massiveness and dimension. When the thickness of a retaining wall can be perceived, such as at the cap detail, the depth from the front to back should shall be no less than one (1) foot. 09 RE T A I N I N G WA L L S Page 334 of 481 Aspects of Wall Construction: As discussed above, the lack absence of modern construction technology and dependence on human labor gave birth rise to the construction techniques by which retaining and foundation walls in Catalonia/ and Southern Europe were built. Instead of concrete, medieval wall builders used a lime mortar. The hardening of this material was dependent upon the reaction of the lime with atmospheric carbon dioxide, forming calcium carbonate. The drying process in combination with low strength allows a building constructed with lime mortar to shift and move slowly over time and thereby accommodates differential movements and distortions within the structure. This contributes to the organic and picturesque aesthetic quality of building walls and edges. Present day use of higher strength, hydraulic mortars and concrete necessitates that the wall or building be built so as not to move or shift. Even though mortar was used, the structural integrity of the wall section was a result of coursing. Therefore, the appearance of a Catalonian / Southern European wall is largely a function of executing structurally sound coursing with highly varied and uneven stone material. This portion of the retaining and foundation wall guideline addresses aspects of construction necessary to maintain the visual character resulting from the execution of coursing and use of lime mortar. More specifically these qualities of construction are: • Veneer over structural substrate: When the stone of a retaining wall is actually a veneer over concrete block or poured in place concrete, filling a variable cavity space between structure and veneer should shall be used to give the wall a more handmade appearance. In addition, the masonry ledge must be wide enough to accommodate larger stones laid in the wall as these stones would normally lay on the ground. • Lift Wall: Where possible, lift wall construction should shall be used as it willshall naturally yield a more hand-crafted look. The cavity space between courses should shall be large enough to allow large stones to lay in the wall in the same manner that they would lay on the ground. 10 RE T A I N I N G WA L L S Page 335 of 481 Approved Mock-up Wall 1 1 RE T A I N I N G W A L L S Page 336 of 481 Courtyards and Patios: Courtyards and patios are defined as an un-roofed area mostly enclosed by building walls in combination with freestanding walls which provide privacy or simply define the edge of the activity area. History: • Spanish: Spanish courtyards are designed like an outdoor room to create a restful, relaxing atmosphere. • Influences: The Roman and Moorish civilizations were significant influences in the development of the Spanish courtyard garden in the first through the twelve centuries. • Atrium as a Precedent: The Roman atrium was the model for the Spanish patio which became the central feature of Spanish Courtyard Gardens. • Medieval Use and variations: The medieval cloister gardens of the Middle Ages continued the courtyard tradition in cathedral and monasteries where monks often grew medicinal herbs and flowers. Location: • Enclosure: A courtyard or patio is either fully or partially closed by building walls in combination with free standing walls. This differs from the courtyard and/or patio from a typical yard space which sits to the front, rear, or side of the primary structure and is almost completely enclosed by wall or fence. • Affected Courtyards and/or Patios: Courtyards visible from the street are required to meet all the requirements of these guidelines. These include Entry Courtyards, Motor Courtyards and Patio Terraces. • Entry Courtyards: Courtyards transition between public and private space and are typically located on the front side of the architecture. At least 2 sides of an entry courtyard are defined by building walls. • Motor Courtyards: An expanded area for maneuvering a vehicle, located behind an entry portal and fully enclosed by garage wall and free standing wall. A 16’-0” wide gate is allowed at shared drives and motor courts for more than five garages. A maximum 12’-0” wide gate shall be used in locations with four or less garages. • Terrace Patios: Terrace patios are defined on one or more sides by building walls and the remainder is defined by low perimeter boundary walls. Patio terraces are often slightly elevated above the ground plane. 12 CO U R T Y A R D S AN D PA T I O S Page 337 of 481 Elements: • Visual Effect: Courtyards are an important part of the streetscape and provide a great visual enhancement to both the street and the architecture hidden behind their walls. • Enclosure: Stone walls or building facades create a sense of enclosure. At least two (2) sides of the courtyard or patio terrace must shall be defined by building walls. • Gates: Gates, in compliance with the aesthetic requirements set forth herein (conforming to see the Gate Guidelines) provide a visual connection into semi-private transition space. This is a community relationship more than a defensive relationship between building and street. • Paving: • Muse: Lateral expansion of street pavers. • Motor Court: Lateral expansion of street pavers or decorative paving with threshold. • Small Motor Court: Allowed to be saw cut concrete pattern. • Entry Courts Visible to Street: Enhanced landscaping, paving, art or combination thereof. • Artistic Features: Fountain, bird bath, sculpture, or simple basin of water may be included. • Decorative Planting: Containers and raised beds containing ornamental plants. Bed areas are often limited, and requireing careful selection of plants for the limited planting area. • Secondary Structures: Loggias, trellises, awnings and roofed arcades provide shade and a sense of enclosure. • Fire Place or Fire Pit: Exterior fireplaces emphasize the idea of an outdoor room. 13 CO U R T Y A R D S AN D PA T I O S Page 338 of 481 Courtyard Walls Material: • Stone: Shall be Full full-width natural quarried stone, selected from the approved stone material for Entrada and shall match the stone material on the adjacent building façade.

Instead, it was a familial pursuit with each succeeding generation adding and building as necessary to house the expanding family unit. In architectural terms this is called “additive construction” and is particularly characteristic of Spanish culture where large families were more commonplace and a vertical family organization the norm. Therefore, the intricate village look with continuous residential structures defining a continuous frontage along narrow, winding streets is manifestation of a social structure and village community. Entrada, which aspires to deliver this same intricacy, is faced with the challenge of delivering it through a land development process where fee simple lots are created and sold. The Town has the authority to issue a permit for a design that meets standards and guidelines contained in Entrada’s zoning and any mutual agreements with the Land Developer. Therefore, Residential Development Guidelines are created herein for the purposes of directing the residential delivery system toward implementation of Entrada’s “European Village” vision. More specifically, these guidelines are: Single Family Residences: As stated above, the typical single family home in a Catalonian/European Village was not like the single family home one sees in Southlake or even Westlake. It was more like a town house but the familial structure was stronger than the lot structure. As a result different houses may have shared common spaces (such as a courtyard) and thereby add a level of intricacy and complexity to the built fabric that containment within a fee simple lot willshall likely not give. However, viewing the individual home as part of a block and not simply as part of a lot provides a basis upon which to direct home design in a direction more compatible with the Catalonian/European archetype. Therefore, the guidelines of this section seek to describe the individual home in terms related to its contribution to the block. General Definition and Conditions of a Single Family Land Use: 1. A single family home in Entrada may be attached, zero lot line, detached or a combination thereof as required to meet the Lot Occupancy and Block group requirements specified below. 2. Single family homes can share yard, courtyard, entry court, motor court space, or a mews across a property line or property lines. Refer to the Town of Westlake Ordinance 703 for more information on Single Family Land Use. 72 SI N G L E FA M I L Y RE S I D E N C E S Page 407 of 481 Features of Lot Occupancy: In the Catalonian/European Village, the residential structure is established relative to the street, the necessities of drainage, or other more utilitarian considerations more than being established relative to legal lot lines. In fact, the land was likely owned by the nobility and grants for use were given (usually at a high price) forcing more verticality in the structure form. This system of “land rents” still exists today, even in US cities like Baltimore, Maryland. Here land once owned by Lord Calvert eventually went to people who did not reside on the property. Today, every mortgage pays a ground rent to another person. The result was density, verticality, and continuity along the street. This all important relation between structure and street over the relation between structure and lot makes it necessary to advance guidelines which promote street fabric and complexity. This is called “Lot Occupancy”, meaning placement of the structure within the lot to establish a meaningful contribution to the street. There are three important street qualities to accomplish through this guideline. These are: • Street Complexity: The suburban street is characterized by lot-to-lot repetition of dimensional zones (front yard, side yard, etc.). The result is a prevailing sameness that has become so characteristic of “suburban sprawl”. Further, house design serving speculative market needs tends to deliver an overall sameness to the distribution and architectural expression of house functions (such as the repetitive garage location). The guideline must promote a complexity that is typical of the Catalonian/European Village-scape. • Street Continuity: A continuous street wall is an important element of the village street. • Street Interaction: The communal nature of the village celebrates the street as a communal space. This is accomplished by occasional residential functions which come out to and/or are visible from the street. 73 FE A T U R E S OF LO T OC C U P A N C Y Page 408 of 481 Street Frontage: Bringing the structure to the street (the referenced Build-to Line) willshall contribute to a more continuous street wall. Treatments of the Street Wall include: 1. Setback: No minimum but 35% of structure frontage shall be in the Front Yard “Build-to-Zone” as specified in the following section. 2. Streetscape: 90% of the lot frontage must be residence (minimum 35%), or 6 ft. tall, minimum natural stone wall, including pedestrian and drive gate if applicable. 3. Penetrations in the Street Wall: One gated pedestrian access is allowed on the street lot frontage and if said access is located within a freestanding wall, the width of the pedestrian opening shall not exceed the height of the wall in which the opening is located. In addition one gated drive court entry is permitted provided that the width of the entrance does not exceed 16 ft. 4. Driveway Placement: Driveways must not abutt at a common property line unless the drive is a shared driveway and does not exceed a combined 14 feet in width. Shared driveways are encouraged, but where not possible, driveways should be separated by 18”. Where shared driveways serving interior motor courts are employed, the frontage wall and entry gate may be eliminated for the width of the drive. 5. Automotive Access: One 20 ft. wide driveway for direct drive in garages with two carriage style doors, All other drives are limited to 12 feet wide from curb to entry gate. 74 ST R E E T FR O N T A G E Page 409 of 481 1. Build-to-Zone: Typical front yards are comprised of passive land that usually stands between the street and house for purpose of protecting the home from street intrusions. The suburban front yard is a buffer not a connection. Therefore, it is desirable to bring the residential structure to the street. Each lot shall have a Front Yard Build-to-Zone, defined as the yard adjacent to the street the building is addressed. A minimum of 35% of any structure frontage built on a lot (but no less than 20 frontage feet) must be located within the Front Yard Build-to-Zone. The Build-to-Zone begins at a distance of 7.5’ feet from the front property line. The distance between building frontage occupancy within the Front Yard Build-To Zone must not be greater than 45 feet. If a lot is sufficiently wide that this distance is exceeded within the lot, the length of frontage must be increased or additional structural frontage within the Front Yard Build-To Zone must be provided. 3 ft. Start of Build-to-Zone is located 7.5’ from property line 2. Walls in the Front Yard Build-to-Zone: *All Build-to-Zones shall comply with the distances listed or as determined by utility easements. The remainder of any lot frontage that is not occupied by residence structure within the Front Yard Build-to-Zone must be finished with a stone frontage wall that is at least 6 feet tall. Such frontage walls may be eliminated for any portion of the residence structure frontage located within 3 feet of the wall. 3. Garages in the Front Yard Build-to-Zone: Any garage located within the Front Yard Build-to-Zone with garage doors that are not screened by the frontage wall shall have two carriage style doors instead of a single double door. Double wide, single garage doors are prohibited in street view unless behind a wall or gate structure. J-swing garages are allowed and not required to be screened as they are not visible from the street. 75 FR O N T YA R D BU I L D TO ZO N E Page 410 of 481 Rear Yards That Face a Street: Due to grade differences, rear yards may be elevated above the street they face. Therefore, the retaining wall, if necessary, at the rear property line may become a significant street element. 76 RE A R YA R D BU I L D TO ZO N E Page 411 of 481 1. Rear Yard Build-To Zone: Each lot shall have a Rear Yard Build-to-Zone and a minimum of 35% (But no less than 20 Rear Yard Frontage Feet) of any structure built on a lot must be located within the Rear Yard Build-to-Zone. The Build-to-Zone lays between the Rear property line and distance 5 feet from the rear property line. 2. Walls in the Rear Yard Build-to-Zone: The remainder of any lot frontage that is not occupied by residence structure within the Rear Yard Build-to-zone must be finished with a stone frontage wall or iron fence with living hedge that is at least 42 inches tall where there is a retaining wall separating the lot from the street or 6 feet where there is no retaining wall. The wall shall not be set back from the rear property line or the top of retaining wall more than 1.5 feet or a distance determined by utility easements. Such frontage walls may be eliminated for any portion of the residence structure frontage located within 5 feet of the wall. 3. Landscape in lieu of wall at the rear yard: Up to 30% of the rear yard may be screened with landscape in lieu of an opaque wall. Landscape materials shall be evergreen and used in combination with evergreen understory to provide an effective screen. 4. Pedestrian Access: One gated pedestrian access is allowed on the rear street lot frontage and if said access is located within a freestanding wall, the width of the pedestrian opening shall not exceed the height of the wall in which the opening is located. 5. Basement Garages: Rear entry garages may be built at street grade in lieu of a continuous rear lot line retaining wall. If a garage is so located, it shall have two carriage style doors instead of a single double door. Double wide, single garage doors are prohibited in street view unless provided in a J-swing configuration. *All Build-to-Zones shall comply with the distances listed or as determined by utility easements. 77 3 ft. RE A R YA R D BU I L D TO ZO N E Page 412 of 481 Side Yards 1. Setback: No minimum. Subject to the block group standards. 2. Streetscape: Subject to the Block Corner standard stated below under Block Group, 100% of the side lot frontage must be residence in combination with a 6’ tall minimum, natural stone wall and wrought iron fence with living hedge if it does not (in combination with other gates) exceed 30% of the side yard wall. 3. Corner Lot Build-To-Zone: Each lot shall have a Corner Side Yard Build-to-Zone and a minimum of 50% of any structure built on a lot must be located within the Corner Side Yard Build-to-Zone. The Build-to-Zone lays between the front property line and distance from the front property line determined by utility easements. 4. Side Yard Build-To Zone: Each lot shall have a Side Yard Build-To Zone at each side lot line and structural occupancy of this zone shall conform to the Block Group Standards specified below. Where side yards are directly adjacent to a neighboring structure, an additional wall in the Side Yard Build-to Zone is not required. 5. Automotive Access: Garages located within a Corner Side Yard Build-to-Zone with garage doors that are not screened by the side yard frontage wall shall have two carriage style doors instead of a single double wide single garage door. Single double wide garage doors are prohibited in street view unless behind a wall or gate structure. 6. Pedestrian Access: Any pedestrian access gate located in the corner side yard frontage may replace the need for such a gate in the front yard. *All Build-to-Zones shall comply with the distances listed or as determined by utility easements. 78 SI D E YA R D S Page 413 of 481 Block Group Continuity: 1. Block Group Unit: A Block Group is any set of 5 residences along a residential street. The street may have more than one Block Group. If the length of the street has more than one Block Group and the number of houses in the last group is less than 5, then the last homes are not governed by Block Group standards contained herein and are considered Villa lots. 2. Block Corner: Any lot of a Block Group located at a street corner may have a zero side yard at the corner and the 25% lot Front Yard occupancy standard (stated above) may be accomplished at the frontage corner. 3. Building Mass Continuity: At least 2 of the 6 side lot lines in a Block Group shall be a common wall line for attached residences or at least 3 of the 6 side lot lines in a Block Group shall be a zero lot line. This standard is satisfied if a minimum of 25% of the residence facing the side lot line shall be built to this zero or common lot line standard and such 25% must be located at the street frontage. 4. Side Yard Build-to-Zone: At least 45% of a residence facing any side yard, not built to a zero lot line or common lot line shall be built within the Side Yard Build-to-Zone. A residence which already is building to the zero or common lot line standard only has to have 25% of the structure, facing the non-zero or non-common lot line, in conformance with this standard. The Side Yard Build-to-Zone lies from the side yard lot line to a distance 2 ft., or as determined by utility easements, from the side yard lot line. 79 BL O C K GR O U P CO N T I N U I T Y Page 414 of 481 Residential Exterior Entrances Material: • General: All entrance doors and frames are required to be wood or rustic wrought iron. • Wood: Approved woods are Oak, Poplar, Alder, Cypress, Clear Pine, Clear Cedar, Cherry, Teak or Walnut. • Wood Production: All units are milled lumber.

Federal or State Tax Law or Rate Changes: Applicability – All Customers in the Mid-Tex Division (“MTX”) Under the RRM Tariff Applicable to Customers taking service under Rate R, Rate C, Rate I, and Rate T. To ensure that gas utility customers receive the benefits or costs associated with the changes in tax rates at a federal or state level, MTX shall establish and accrue on its books and records, as of the effective date of the federal or state tax law or rate change: 1) regulatory liabilities to reflect the impact of a decrease in federal corporate income tax rates or state margin tax rates; or, 2) regulatory assets to reflect the impact of an increase in federal corporate income tax rates or state margin tax rates. The gas utility may not change rates to give effect to a change in Federal or State Tax law or rates through the Rider TAX unless and until the city issues final authorization, an Accounting Order, or other express guidance authorizing such recovery through the RRM process. Company may also not change rates to capture the impacts associated with the effects of Public Law 117-169, 136 STAT. 1818 of August 16, 2022 (“Tax Act 2022”) and certain other tax-related costs that will change from the amounts included in the most recent base revenue requirement established through an RRM filing unless and until the city issues a final authorization, an Accounting Order, or other express guidance authorizing such recovery. Upon receipt of authorization from the city through an Accounting Order, final authorization or other express guidance, the calculation applicable to the aforementioned federal or state tax rate or law changes are as follows; however, to the extent there is a conflict between the calculation or methodology Page 432 of 481 MID-TEX DIVISION ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION RIDER: TAX – TAX ADJUSTMENT APPLICABLE TO: Entire Division as Set Forth Below EFFECTIVE DATE: Bills Rendered on or after 10/01/2025 PAGE: prescribed by an Accounting Order, final authorization, or other express guidance, and those contained in this rate schedule, the Accounting Order, final authorization, or other express guidance controls: Calculations 1. With regard to changes in the tax rates at a federal or state level, the increase or decrease shall be calculated as follows: a. A portion of the gas utility’s revenue representing the difference between: 1) the cost of service as approved by the Commission or the applicable regulatory authority in the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding, and 2) the cost of service that would have resulted had the rates been based on the new federal income tax rate (increase or decrease) or state margin taxes (increase or decrease), as of the effective date of the change; b. If applicable, the portion of the gas utility’s revenue representing the difference between: 1) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge approved by the regulatory authority since the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding, and 2) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge that would have resulted had the surcharges been based on the new federal income tax rate (increase or decrease) or state margin taxes (increase or decrease), as of the effective date of the change; and c. The excess or deficient deferred tax reserve, including any associated gross up in taxes, caused by the reduction or increase in the federal corporate income tax rate or state related tax increases, as of the effective date of the change. Upon the receipt of authorization from the Commission or applicable regulatory authority, the gas utility shall separately refund to customers based on a decrease in federal or state tax rates or separately collect from customers based on an increase in federal or state tax rates within twelve (12) months or, pursuant to applicable Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) rules and regulations, as follows: d. The amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference in base rates between: 1) the cost of service approved by the regulatory authority in the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent rate proceeding, and 2) the cost of service that would have resulted had the rates been based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date of this order and the effective date of the changes. e. If applicable, the amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference between: 1) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge approved by the Commission or the regulatory authority since the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent rate proceeding, and 2) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge that would have resulted had the rates been based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date of this order and the effective date of the changes. f. The amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference in the excess or deficient deferred tax reserve included in base rates between: 1) the cost of service approved by the Commission or the regulatory authority in the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent rate proceeding, and 2) the cost of service that would have resulted had the rates been based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date of this order and the effective date of the changes. These amounts shall be refunded or collected from customers based upon IRC rules and regulations if applicable. Page 433 of 481 MID-TEX DIVISION ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION RIDER: TAX – TAX ADJUSTMENT APPLICABLE TO: Entire Division as Set Forth Below EFFECTIVE DATE: Bills Rendered on or after 10/01/2025 PAGE: 2. With regard to the Tax Act 2022 and certain other tax-related costs that will change from the amounts included in the base revenue requirement established through an RRM filing, any change in rates shall be calculated as follows: (a) The amount shall be calculated as the product of Company’s grossed-up rate of return authorized in the cost of service as approved by the Commission or the applicable regulatory authority in the gas utility’s most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding times the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax deferred tax asset (“CAMT DTA") estimated at September 30 of the fiscal year or applicable quarter-end within a fiscal year prior to the annual change in the rates pursuant to this tariff, less the income tax credits received in accordance with IRC requirements applicable to the Tax Act 2022 grossed-up for income taxes to a revenue equivalent. (b) The estimated CAMT DTA and the related effects on the rider revenue requirements shall be trued up to the actual effects in the following year and the over/under recovery amortized over the twelve months that each year’s recalculated tariff rates are in effect. The over/under recovery shall include a grossed-up rate of return as authorized in Company’s most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding. (c) The methodology for computing Company's CAMT is as follows: i. Confirm when Atmos Energy Corporation and its affiliates are subject to CAMT as an “applicable corporation” as defined the Tax Act 2022, then there will be MTX’s CAMT DTA in the tariff. ii. Calculate the Mid-Tex Division’s (MTX) contribution to Adjusted Financial Statement Income (“AFSI”) on a stand-alone basis. MTX’s AFSI is calculated by adjusting MTX’s applicable financial statement income by adjustments to depreciation, pension costs and federal income tax to arrive at AFSI. AFSI is intended to be computed consistent with applicable IRC requirements. iii. Compare MTX’s CAMT stand-alone amount with MTX’s regular stand-alone tax liability. If the stand alone CAMT is in excess of the stand-alone regular tax, the CAMT DTA is recorded to MTX. If the Internal Revenue Service issues new guidance related to the Tax Act 2022, Company shall have the right to make additional filings to recognize such adjustments. Any Commission filing made to give effect to Federal or State Tax Law or Rate Changes shall be filed within 12-months following the enactment of a tax rate change with the Commission’s Oversight and Safety Division or as part of a Statement of Intent. Any city filing made to give effect to Federal or State Tax Law or Rate Changes shall be filed within 12- months following the enactment of a tax rate change and addressed to the city official at the address of record with the Mid-Tex Division. With the exception of the authorization required from the Commission to allow the gas utility to recognize the new federal income tax rate (increase or decrease) or state taxes (increase or decrease) or the impacts associated with the effects of the Tax Act 2022 and certain other tax-related costs that will change from the amounts included in the base revenue requirement in the last approved RRM Tariff filing, no action on the part of the regulatory authority is required to give effect to the amount to be refunded or Page 434 of 481 MID-TEX DIVISION ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION RIDER: TAX – TAX ADJUSTMENT APPLICABLE TO: Entire Division as Set Forth Below EFFECTIVE DATE: Bills Rendered on or after 10/01/2025 PAGE: collected from customers. However, any amount refunded or collected from customers shall be fully subject to review for reasonableness and accuracy in the gas utility’s next statement of intent proceeding, and if applicable, the gas utility shall be required to reconcile any discrepancies. Regulatory orders issued pursuant to this mechanism are ratemaking orders and shall be subject to appeal under Sections 102.001(b) and 103.021, et seq., of the Texas Utilities Code (Vernon 2007). Rate changes subject to the provisions of this tariff may be implemented upon the filing of an appeal to the relevant authority.

The Weather Normalization Adjustment shall apply to all temperature sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Waco, and Wichita Falls. Computation of Weather Normalization Adjustment The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent per Ccf by the following formula: (HSFi x (NDD-ADD) ) WNAFi = Ri (BLi + (HSFi x ADD) ) Where i = any particular Rate Schedule or billing classification within any such particular Rate Schedule that contains more than one billing classification WNAFi = Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor for the ith rate schedule or classification expressed in cents per Ccf Ri = Commodity Charge rate of temperature sensitive sales for the ith schedule or classification. HSFi = heat sensitive factor for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average bill count in that class NDD = billing cycle normal heating degree days calculated as the simple ten-year average of actual heating degree days. ADD = billing cycle actual heating degree days. Bli = base load sales for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average bill count in that class The Weather Normalization Adjustment for the jth customer in ith rate schedule is computed as: WNA i = WNAF i x q ij Where q ij is the relevant sales quantity for the jth customer in ith rate schedule.

FROM: Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director, Finance SUBJECT: Discuss, consider and act regarding Ordinance 1031 to adopt amendments to the Town of Westlake's Texas Municipal Retirement System Benefits Authorizing (1) Annually Accruing Updated Service Credits and Transfer Updated Service Credits; and (2) Annually Accruing Annuity Increases, also referred to as Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) for Retirees and their Beneficiaries. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 1031 Westlake TMRS - USC-RT_COLA-R 2. Westlake 2026 Plan Change Study_50% COLA R 3. Westlake TMRS Transmital - USCT_COLA_R SUMMARY : The Town of Westlake will update its post-employment benefit plan to include an allowable 50% repeating and retroactive cost of living adjustment (COLA) for retirees and their beneficiaries in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), a statewide defined benefit system. The Town's current plan does not include a COLA option, which is a challenge in recruiting and out of line with industry norms. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The plan change to include an allowable 50% repeating and retroactive cost of living adjustment (COLA) for retirees and their beneficiaries in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) is one important piece in the efforts to bring Westlake closer to industry-standard compensation and benefits. The Town's current plan does not include a COLA option, which is common with other municipalities and puts us at a disadvantage in recruiting. The State of Texas passed a bill in 2023 that will allow us to update our election until December 31, 2025. TMRS provided an analysis of six (6) available options and their costs, which were then compared against our survey cities and the impact on the overall budget. By selecting the mid-range option with the retroactive COLA, the total increase in pension costs for the change in plan in fiscal year 2026 is $290,739. This increase does include the addition of net three (3) full-time equivalents and is included in the proposed budget. After passage of the ordinance, the plan changes will be effective on January 1, 2026. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is a $290,739 increase to the fiscal year 2026 budget.

Debt Service 7. Financial Reporting 8. Approval Process Policy Statement The Town of Westlake/Westlake Academy has a fiduciary responsibility to its citizens and stakeholders to accurately account for the public funds it is tasked with managing. The financial policies are established in order to provide guidance on the appropriate accounting, planning, and use of all funds and to ensure fiscal sustainability and stewardship. These policies are reviewed and updated periodically by the Town Manager, Head of School, and Director of Finance, in accordance with direction from the Town Council/Board of Trustees. This Financial Policy, along with any other policies enacting or defining authority granted, will be presented to the Council/Board for approval of any changes. Scope The Financial Policies within this policy apply to both the Town and the Academy. This policy includes the basis of accounting and budgeting, annual budget responsibilities, debt management, and financial reporting. Policies and procedures relating to the administrative functions in each of these areas are the responsibility of staff for review and updates. Basis of Accounting & Budgeting Basis of Accounting The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles applicable to state and local governments. The accounting and reporting policies conform to these generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Academy is additionally subject to Texas Education Authority (TEA) accounting structure and financial reporting. The Town and Academy are organized and operate on the basis of funds and account groups. Each fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which are segregated for the purpose of executing specified activities, in accordance with regulations, restrictions, and limitations. Governmental fund types (General Fund, Debt Service, Special Revenue, Academy, and Capital) use the flow of current financial resources focus of measurement and the modified accrual basis of accounting, Page 452 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 5 with revenues recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures budgeted in the period in which the liability is incurred. Revenues are considered available when they are collectable within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred, if measurable. Basis of Budgeting Annual Budget Town Page 453 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 5 taxable values, as determined by the appropriate appraisal district. The adopted tax rate must be set in two (2) portions: maintenance and operations (M&O), which fund operations in the General Fund; and interest and sinking (I&S), which is set each year to ensure the principal and interest requirements for the fiscal year are met. Academy Budget Amendments Fund Balance Policies General Fund – Town General Fund – Academy Page 454 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 4 of 5 Special Revenue Funds Fund balances within each special revenue fund are considered restricted for that purpose defined by the fund. Due to applicable regulations, restrictions, or limitations, it may be necessary to collect revenues and expend funds in different periods, as identified needs dictate. Expenditures can only be budgeted when current revenues plus fund balance allow. Each special revenue fund shall strive to maintain a minimum fund balance at, or in excess of, 25% of the next year’s projected expenditures. Retained earnings within the enterprise funds must be positive and meet bond covenants and coverage requirements, as applicable. Fund balance in enterprise funds contain contributions, which are considered non-spendable. The Utility Fund shall strive to maintain a minimum fund balance of 25% of next year’s expenditures. Retained earnings within internal service funds must be positive and are considered restricted for the purpose of the fund. There is not a minimum fund balance requirement for internal service funds. Fund balances within the capital fund represent dollars available to fund major projects or purchases. There is not a minimum fund balance requirement, however, Council may require funds be available prior to approval of a project or purchase. Fund balances may be made up of bond proceeds, donations, interest earnings, intergovernmental transfers, or sales tax funds received above budget in the General Fund (as determined at the year end balance). Debt service funds operate on the current basis of budgeting and have a minimum fund balance requirement equal to one-twelfth of the annual principal and interest requirements. Due to the nature of debt obligations, all debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the Town. Debt Service The Town is an authorized issuer of debt obligations, but the Academy is not. Debt may be issued by the Town on behalf of the Academy in accordance with policy. Debt may be periodically issued for capital improvements, including construction, acquisition, or improvements of long-term assets, or to refinance existing debt obligations in a manner benefiting the Town. Debt may not be issued for the purpose of financing current operations, nor may any debt proceeds be utilized for that purpose. Debt financing includes general obligation bonds, certificates of obligations, revenue bonds, tax notes, lease agreements, and other instruments permitted under Texas law. The Town will consider the expected life of the asset, expected cash flow to complete the project, and ongoing costs prior to issuing debt. Instruments will be chosen on this basis and incorporate analysis of available cash, repayment structure, and the expertise of the designated Financial Advisor. All issuances must be approved by the Council/Board. Page 455 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 5 of 5 Staff and the Financial Advisor shall monitor the municipal bond market for opportunities to obtain interest savings by refunding outstanding debt. As a general rule, the present value savings of a particular refunding should exceed 3.5% of the refunded maturities.

Debt Obligations Policy Statement The Town of Westlake/Westlake Academy has a fiduciary responsibility to its citizens and stakeholders to prudently manage its debt obligations. The debt management policies are established in order to provide guidance on the appropriate activities needed to ensure Westlake maintains a sound financial position while effectively meeting its capital needs. These policies are reviewed and updated periodically by the Town Manager, Head of School, and Director of Finance, in accordance with direction from the Town Council/Board of Trustees. This Policy, along with any other policies enacting or defining authority granted, will be presented to the Council/Board for approval of any changes. Scope The Debt Management Policies within this policy apply to only the Town, as the Academy is not authorized to issue its own debt, with the exception of Board-approved operating leases for technology equipment. This policy acts as a supplement to both the Financial Policies and Investment Policy approved for the Town and Academy by the Council/Board and is intended to provide further clarification on the Town’s framework for debt management. Debt Types Allowable debt types include, but are not limited to, the following instruments: General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds): Issued only with majority voter approval; proceeds limited to acquiring or improving real property and public facilities (e.g., infrastructure, educational, public safety). Increases in property tax will be proposed, if necessary, for debt service. Certificates of Obligation (CO Bonds): Used for capital improvements not funded by other bond types. Citizens can petition for an election on issuance, with a 45-day notice period. Increases in property tax will be proposed, if necessary, for debt service. Revenue Bonds: Finance revenue-producing enterprises (e.g., utilities) payable from specific revenue sources. Page 457 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 3 Refunding Obligations: Bonds may be issued to refund long-term obligations, targeting a minimum net debt service savings of 3% of the par value of refunded bonds, unless a lower percentage is deemed acceptable for shorter maturities. Debt Limit Issuance Guidelines Planning Debt Process to Issue Page 458 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 3 During an executive session, Council will discuss qualifying projects and direct staff the total maximum amount of debt to issue. The financial advisor and bond counsel will review the calendar and requirements to issue. This will include the timing of the sale of debt, Council votes required, and an overview of administrative work with their deadlines. Debt Obligations Page 459 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 1 of 3 Purchasing Authority Outline 1. Overview & Purpose 2. Participants 3. Authorized Spending 4. Spending Thresholds 5. Approval & Update Process Overview & Purpose As a General Law municipality within the State of Texas, the Town of Westlake and its component units are subject to compliance with Local Government Code procurement laws and applicable Texas Education Code. In lieu of a voter-approved Town Charter and within compliance of the Academy Charter, the Council/Board has determined that enacting additional layers of purchasing authority for staff is necessary to maintain good budgetary controls and financial stewardship for public funds. Participants Council/Board – elected officials responsible for directing staff to purchase goods and services to facilitate the mission and activities of the Town/Academy Department Head – appointed director of a Town department or Academy function and any person authorized to act on their behalf Employee – person tasked with the administration of ordering, receiving/implementing, and issuing authorized payments for goods and services Head of School – Employee with authority to direct procurement activities on behalf of the Academy Town Manager – Employee with authority to direct procurement activities on behalf of the Town Authorized Spending To be considered “authorized spending,” the purchase must have been budgeted in the same fiscal year as the order is placed, the price must be within 5% of the budgeted cost, and all due diligence to meet applicable laws and procedures must be met. In instances where the purchase is not budgeted or the amount budgeted is not sufficient, Department Heads or above (depending on the dollar value and business purpose as outlined below) must authorize the purchase. Spending Thresholds Authorized spending thresholds apply to all allowable purchasing and payment methods. It is the responsibility of the employee making the purchase to adhere to the correct method. Page 460 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 3 Budgeted Purchases Less than $3,000.00 – Employees designated by their Department Heads/Principals have the authority to approve purchases or spend up to $3,000.00 in a single purchase $3,000.00 to $49,999,99 – the Town Manager and Head of School have the authority to approve purchases for the Town and Academy, respectively $50,000.00 and above – Council/Board must approve the purchase either implicitly via budget adoption for routine, overhead purchases or explicitly for contracts, capital spending, or bid awards to adhere to competitive bid requires and promote transparency Less than $3,000.00 – Department Heads/Principals have the authority to approve purchases in support of their department or school’s mission if there is capacity to reduce expenditures in an equal amount exists within the same operating budget; these adjustments to the spending plan will be reported to the Council/Board within the next quarterly financial report. $3,000.00 to $49,999.99 – Head of School/Town Manager has the authority to approve purchases in support of their organization’s mission if there is capacity to reduce expenditures in an equal amount within the same operating budget; Council/Board must be notified, as soon as practicable, in writing of the purchase and corresponding expenditure reduction, with a detailed explanation and presentation of off-setting balances at the next posted open meeting. $50,000.00 and above – Head of School/Town Manager must request approval from the Council/Board in an open meeting; the request must include details on the corresponding reduction in expenditures or the purchase must qualify for use of fund balance per policy. When considering off-setting balances to facilitate an unbudgeted purchase, staff will look for potential cuts first in the account. If funds are not available in the account, staff will consider the department’s/function’s non-personnel budget for cuts. If funds are still not available, the department will coordinate with the Town Manager/Head of School and the Director of Finance for potential cuts in a different department/function. If funds are still not available, staff will need to prepare a budget amendment for Council/Board approval that outlines the purchase and why it qualifies for the use of fund balance. Emergency purchases – Emergency purchases are by definition unbudgeted and generally require funds prior to budget approval by Council/Board. Emergency purchases are hereby defined as follows, based on Sec. 252.022 General Exemptions: (1) a procurement made because of a public calamity that requires the immediate appropriation of money to relieve the necessity of the municipality's residents or to preserve the property of the municipality; and Page 461 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 3 (2) a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents; and (3) a procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or other property which requires urgent repair or replacement to maintain critical operations. Staff will present emergency purchases for ratification at the next regularly scheduled Council/Board meeting. When emergency purchases cannot be absorbed within existing budgets, these purchases will be included in a budget amendment. Approval & Update Process The Town Council/Board of Trustees has the authority to change the authority thresholds under $50,000.00, as they determine to be in the best interest of the Town/Academy. These thresholds shall be reviewed annually as part of the approval of the Financial Policies. The Finance Subcommittee may meet to review the details of the updates or advise of any changes prior to the Council/Board receiving the information in the form of a report. Once the report has been presented satisfactorily, the Council/Board will vote to approve the Financial Policies in whole. Council/Board reserves the right to make changes outside the annual review and approval process. It is expected that revisions may need to occur due to staff turnover or legislative changes.

Administration of Contracts Overview & Purpose As part of the directive to engage in procurement practices that benefit the Town and Academy, engaging in various contracts is necessary to obtain the best value of goods and services. Implicit authority, which is the assumption by a vendor that a Town/Academy representative has an ability to engage but whom is not specifically allowed by Town/Academy policies to do so, is not authorized for any employee and is grounds for discipline, up to and including termination. In order to ensure vendors acting in good faith are compensated for goods or services provided, it is necessary to outline the signatory authority granted to specific parties for entering into, updating terms, renewing, or cancelling contracts. Participants Council/Board – elected officials responsible for directing staff to purchase goods and services to facilitate the mission and activities of the Town/Academy Department Head – appointed director of a Town department or Academy function and any person authorized to act on their behalf Head of School – Employee with authority to direct procurement activities on behalf of the Academy Town Manager – Employee with authority to direct procurement activities on behalf of the Town Town Secretary – Employee tasked with the records collection and management of executed contracts Authorized Contracts Contracts, as discussed in this policy, are agreements to purchase goods or services. The Town/Academy only considers written and executed contracts, properly authorized, to be valid; verbal agreements are not considered a binding contract and therefore are not allowed. While all procurement, including contractual purchases, must adhere to the Town/Academy’s purchasing policies, not all purchases require a contract to proceed; purchases allowed to be made without a contract will be excluded from this policy. As a public entity, the Town and Academy are allowed to enter into the following types of contracts: Page 463 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 3 Direct purchase of goods or services contract: Standard contract in which a price has been directly negotiated with Westlake for a vendor to provide goods or services at a mutually agreed upon price and schedule. Signatory Thresholds Page 464 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 3 Contracts for capital spending, construction, or construction-related activities, such as project management, regardless of amount, must be signed by the Town Manager, unless otherwise directed by the Council/Board. With any contracts approved by the Council/Board, an appropriate designee will be listed as the authorized signer; the designee may differ from the above persons outlined, if appropriate.

Participants 3. Authorization & Issuance 4. Limits 5. Responsibilities 6. Authorized Purchases 7. Restrictions/Prohibitions Overview & Purpose Procurement Cards (p-cards) are an authorized payment mechanism to facilitate routine purchasing activities in lieu of the accounts payable process. The purpose of p-cards is to allow flexibility to carry out necessary operations in a more time-efficient manner. Use of p-cards does not negate appropriate planning for purchases. P-card use is subject to all purchasing thresholds and methods, in addition to the guidance within this policy. Participants Council/Board – elected officials responsible for directing staff to purchase goods and services to facilitate the mission and activities of the Town/Academy Employee – person tasked with the administration of ordering, receiving/implementing, and issuing authorized payments for goods and services Vendor – business entity or individual that seeks to have or has a contract to provide goods or services to the Town/Academy; could be a consultant, contractor, company, or individual provider Authorization & Issuance The Town Manager and Head of School can authorize the issuance of a p-card to an employee within their respective organization, based on the employee’s role and contingent upon the Director of Finance’s verification. Department Heads/Principals are able to request p-cards for themselves and staff. Town Manager, Head of School, Director of Finance, and Department Heads/Principals all have the authority to request a card be closed or denied to an employee in writing. Issuance for a new card requires a completed and signed form. Limits Similar to a personal credit card, p-cards are subject to credit limits. The Town/Academy has account limits, which are separate from the card and transaction limits below. Credit limits are based on the actual spending needs of the cardholder, as defined by their job duties. Employee – Employees with a p-card will have a limit of $3,000.00 per month. Individual transactions are limited to $2,999.99. Page 466 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 3 Department Head/Principal – Department Heads and Principals may have occasion to make purchases on behalf of a larger group and will therefore have a limit of $5,000.00 per month. Responsibilities th day each month for the statement covering the month immediately preceding. Page 467 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 3 Instance three will result in a formal write-up and the p-card will be turned into Finance for a period of up to one-year.

Prohibited Purchasing Activities 4. Restricted Purchasing Activities 5. Approval & Update Process Overview & Purpose As a General Law municipality within the State of Texas, the Town of Westlake and its component units are subject to compliance with Local Government Code procurement laws and Texas Education Code for Academy purchasing. In addition to the restrictions established therein, additional prohibitions or restrictions instituted by Council/Board are necessary to safeguard public funds and trust. Participants Council/Board – elected officials responsible for directing staff to purchase goods and services to facilitate the mission and activities of the Town/Academy Employee – person tasked with the administration of ordering, receiving/implementing, and issuing authorized payments for goods and services Vendor – business entity or individual that seeks to have or has a contract to provide goods or services to the Town/Academy; could be a consultant, contractor, company, or individual provider Prohibited Purchasing Activities Due to the Town’s responsibility of managing public funds, several actions are prohibited by law, policy, or ethics. Prohibited activities include: • Purchasing goods or services for personal benefit. • Purchasing goods or services under the guise of sole source, but which the LGC and legal opinion do not expressly agree on the classification. • Separate, sequential, or component purchases that avoid competitive bidding requirements, deviate from purchasing authority limits, or circumvent budgetary controls, even if unintentional. • Purchasing goods or services from a vendor or company that provides any kind of favor or item of value that might influence or appear to influence the purchasing decision. • Disclosing confidential or proprietary information from solicitations to another party or using the information for personal gain. • Verbally or in writing authorizing the purchase of goods or services that you do not have the express authority to authorize. This includes signing contracts for budgeted items. In addition to the activities above, any purchases violating applicable federal or state law or the Town’s purchasing policies are expressly prohibited. Page 469 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 2 Restricted Purchasing Activities Restricted purchasing activities include those that are usually prohibited but may have rare instances in which authorization could be granted. Among the known restricted activities are: • Purchasing alcohol. For special events in which resale of alcohol is an authorized activity, the purchase of alcohol may be allowed. Express permission must be granted by the Town Council to include alcohol sales at the event. • Unbudgeted or unfunded purchases are generally not allowed. In the case of emergency purchases, as defined by LGC and the Purchasing Authority Policy (Policy 07.11), exceptions may be made to ensure the safety of life or property. Other unbudgeted or unfunded purchases should be handled using the process outlined in Purchasing Authority (Policy 07.11). • Purchasing goods or services from a vendor or company from which an elected official or employee has a personal stake in without disclosing the conflict of interest and recusing oneself from all purchasing activities related to the vendor or company. This would only be allowed in rare situations where the goods or services being provided are considered sole source. Should a purchasing scenario arise that is not expressly allowed through statute or policy, consultation with the Town Manager, Head of School, and Director of Finance are required prior to engaging a vendor. Any purchases must still adhere to all other policies and thresholds, including Council/Board approval, as appropriate. The Town Manager and Head of School, in coordination with the Director of Finance, are responsible for monitoring applicable statute and regulations and revising the procurement policies, at least annually. They have the authority to further prohibit or restrict the activities listed here in the course of the duties to ensure the responsible expenditure of public funds. Any permanent changes will be included in the policy, which will be updated as needed and presented to the Council/Board. Additionally, the Council/Board has the authority to prohibit or restrict the authorized activities of the Town Manager and Head of School.

Policy Acceptance Policy Statement It is the policy of the Town of Westlake (“the Town”) that all funds shall be managed and invested in conformance with State and Federal regulations, applicable bond covenants and ordinances, and this adopted written Investment Policy. The administration of the Town’s funds and the investment of those funds shall be handled to achieve the overall objectives of safety, liquidity, public trust, and yield. Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. Cash management and effective investment strategy development will be pursued to take advantage of interest earnings as viable and material revenue to all Town funds. The Town’s portfolio shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust and consistent with this Policy. It is the intent of the Town to comply with all State and Federal laws, including but not limited to the Texas Public Funds Investment Act (the "Act", Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256), the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service statutes. The earnings from investments will be used in a manner that best serves the public trust and interests of the Town. Scope This Investment Policy applies to all the investment activities conducted by the Town and Westlake Academy, including, but not limited to the investment of general funds, reserve funds, interest and sinking funds, and bond funds. Retirement funds are not governed by this Policy. This Policy established guidelines for who can invest public funds, how those funds will be invested, and the process for reviewing and/or amending investment strategies and this Policy. Objectives & Strategy Objectives The Town’s investment objectives include those outlined in the Act. The primary strategic objectives for investment activities are listed in order of their priority: • Preservation and Safety of Principal – The primary objective of all investment activity is the preservation of capital and the safety of principal in the overall portfolio. The suitability of each investment decision will be made on the basis of safety and minimizing risk, as defined within this Policy. Page 475 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 2 of 6 • Liquidity – The Town's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable it to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. Investment decisions will be based on cash flow analysis of anticipated expenditures through management of diversified instruments, maturity dates, and regular market analysis. • Yield – The Town's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a reasonable market rate of return, while maintaining consistency with this Policy. For bond proceeds subject to arbitrage restrictions, the primary objectives shall be to obtain a fair market rate, to minimize costs associated with the investment of such funds, and to comply with bond covenants. • Diversification – Diversification is required in the portfolio's composition as a mechanism to achieve the stated safety, liquidity, and yield objectives. Diversification of the portfolio will include diversification by maturity and market sector and will include the solicitation from multiple broker/dealers or banks for diversification and market coverage. Competitive bidding will be used on each sale or purchase. • Suitability – The Town will evaluate each investment opportunity individually and in the context of the Town’s total portfolio for safety, liquidity, and yield. • Marketability – The Town’s investments will be limited to those prescribed within the Policy and whose marketability supports the Town’s liquidity requirements and maturity limitations. Strategy The investment strategy of the Town is to minimize risk of avoidable loss while seeking a reasonable rate of return and adhering to this Policy. The investment strategies by fund are as follows: • Operating Funds – Operating Funds are pooled cash assets that comprise the majority of the Town’s portfolio and include all Town operating funds, Academy operating funds, and long-term reserves. The primary investment strategy for these funds seek to assure that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity to ensure continued operations. Reserves established in accordance with the Town’s cash reserves policy or designated for specific purposes and time frames may be invested for longer terms. The secondary objective is to create a portfolio structure which will minimize volatility while providing competitive yields on funds. • Debt Service Funds – The primary strategy for Debt Service Funds is to ensure adequate funds are available to cover the debt service obligations as required by the schedules of each issuance. Surplus funds outside the debt service principal and interest requirements will be invested according to investment targets and strategies for Operating Funds. In general, the final maturity dates of investments should not exceed the expected project completion date(s) for which debt was issued and meet all underlying bond covenants. • Bond Reserve Funds – Bond Reserve Funds are reserves required by bond covenant or other contractual requirement to be maintained through the life of the debt issue. These funds generally do not have a need for liquidity and may be invested in longer term maturities within the overall guidelines of this Policy, bond covenants, and arbitrage restrictions. These funds have maturity and yield limitations based on the final maturities and coupon rates of the issuances. • Other Funds – All other funds include both bond proceeds and operating funds set aside for identified Capital Projects or Special Purposes. The funds should be invested to match projected Page 476 of 481 Revised 9/2025 Page 3 of 6 cash flow requirements of projects with sufficient liquidity to meet unanticipated project outlays. The maximum weighted average maturity of the portfolio will be no more than three (3) years and the maximum stated maturity of any security will not exceed five (5) years. The funds are combined for investment purposes but the unique needs of all the funds in the portfolio are recognized and represented.
