THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF DENTON
JOINT ELECTION AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT FOR ELECTION SERVICES
This CONTRACT for election services is made by and between the Denton County Elections
Administrator and the following political subdivisions, herein referred to as “participating
authority or participating authorities” located entirely or partially inside the boundaries of
Denton County:
Participating Authorities:
[entities]
This contract is made pursuant to Texas Election Code Sections 31.092 and 271.002 and Texas
Education Code Section 11.0581 for a joint [election-date] election to be administered by Frank
Phillips, Denton County Elections Administrator, hereinafter referred to as “Elections
Administrator.”
RECITALS
Each participating authority listed above plans to hold a General or Special Election on [election-
date]. Denton County plans to hold county-wide voting for this General Election.
The County owns the Hart InterCivic Verity Voting System, which has been duly approved by
the Secretary of State pursuant to Texas Election Code Chapter 122 as amended, and is
compliant with the accessibility requirements for persons with disabilities set forth by Texas
Election Code Section 61.012. The contracting political subdivisions (participating authorities)
desire to use the County’s voting system and to compensate the County for such use and to share
in certain other expenses connected with joint elections, in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Chapters 31 and 271 of the Texas Election Code, as amended.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, and benefits to all
parties, IT IS AGREED as follows:
I. ADMINISTRATION
The participating authorities agree to hold a “Joint Election” with Denton County and each other
in accordance with Chapter 271 of the Texas Election Code and this agreement. The Elections
Administrator shall coordinate, supervise, and handle all aspects of administering the Joint
Election as provided in this agreement. Each participating authority agrees to pay the Elections
Administrator for equipment, supplies, services, and administrative costs as provided in this
agreement. The Elections Administrator shall serve as the administrator for the Joint Election;
however, each participating authority shall remain responsible for the decisions and actions of its
officers necessary for the lawful conduct of its election. The Elections Administrator shall
provide advisory services in connection with decisions to be made and actions to be taken by the
officers of each participating authority as necessary.
32
It is understood that other political subdivisions may wish to participate in the use of the
County’s Verity voting system and polling places, and it is agreed that the Elections
Administrator may enter into other contracts for election services for those purposes, on
terms and conditions generally similar to those set forth in this contract. In such cases, costs shall
be pro-rated among the participants according to Section XI of this contract.
II. LEGAL DOCUMENTS
Each participating authority shall be responsible for the preparation, adoption, and publication of
all required election orders, resolutions, notices, and any other pertinent documents required by
the Texas Election Code and/or the participating authority’s governing body, charter, or
ordinances, except that the Elections Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation and
publication of all voting equipment testing notices that are required by the Texas Election Code.
Election orders should include language that would not necessitate amending the order if any of
the Early Voting and/or Election Day polling places change.
Preparation of the necessary materials for notices and the official ballot shall be the
responsibility of each participating authority, including translation to languages other than
English. Each participating authority shall provide a copy of their respective election orders and
notices to the Elections Administrator.
III. VOTING LOCATIONS
The Elections Administrator shall select and arrange for the use of and payment for all Early
Voting and Election Day voting locations. Voting locations will be, whenever possible, the usual
voting location for each election precinct in elections conducted by each participating authority,
and shall be compliant with the accessibility requirements established by Election Code Section
43.034 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The proposed voting locations are listed
in Exhibit A of this agreement. In the event a voting location is not available or appropriate, the
Elections Administrator will arrange for use of an alternate location. The Elections Administrator
shall notify the participating authorities of any changes from the locations listed in Exhibit A.
IV. ELECTION JUDGES, CLERKS, AND OTHER ELECTION PERSONNEL
Denton County shall be responsible for the appointment of the presiding judge and alternate
judge for each polling location. The Elections Administrator shall make emergency
appointments of election officials if necessary.
Upon request by the Elections Administrator, each participating authority agrees to assist in
recruiting bilingual polling place officials (fluent in both English and Spanish). In compliance
with the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, each polling place containing more
than 5% Hispanic population as determined by the 2010 Census shall have one or more election
officials who are fluent in both the English and Spanish languages. If a presiding judge is not
bilingual, and is unable to appoint a bilingual clerk, the Elections Administrator may recommend
a bilingual worker for the polling place. If the Elections Administrator is unable to recommend
or recruit a bilingual worker, the participating authority or authorities served by that polling
33
place shall be responsible for recruiting a bilingual worker for translation services at that polling
place.
The Elections Administrator shall notify all election judges of the eligibility requirements of
Subchapter C of Chapter 32 of the Texas Election Code, and will take the necessary steps to
insure that all election judges appointed for the Joint Election are eligible to serve.
The Elections Administrator shall arrange for the training and compensation of all election
judges and clerks. The Election judges and clerks who attend in-person voting equipment
training and/or procedures training, shall be compensated at the rate of $12 an hour. Election
judges and clerks that elect to complete online training shall be compensated as a rate of a flat
$40. In the event that as Election judge or clerk completes both in-person and online training,
they shall be compensated for the training resulting in the highest pay and will not be
compensated for both trainings.
The Elections Administrator shall arrange for the date, time, and place for presiding election
judges to pick up their election supplies. Each presiding election judge will be sent a letter from
the Elections Administrator notifying them of their appointment, the dates/times and locations of
training and distribution of election supplies, and the number of election clerks that the presiding
judge may appoint.
Each election judge and clerk will receive compensation at the hourly rate established by Denton
County pursuant to Texas Election Code Section 32.091 and overtime after 40 hours worked per
week, if applicable. The election judge, or their designee, will receive an additional sum of
$25.00 for picking up the election supplies and equipment prior to Election Day and for returning
the supplies and equipment to the central counting station after the polls close. Likewise, the
Lead Clerk in Early Voting, or their designee, will receive an additional sum of $25.00 for
picking up the election supplies prior to the first day of Early Voting and for returning the
supplies and equipment to the Elections Department after Early Voting has ended.
The compensation rates established by Denton County are:
Early Voting – Lead Clerk ($14/ hour), Clerk ($12/ hour)
Election Day – Presiding Judge ($14/hour), Alternate Judge ($13/ hour), Clerk ($12/ hour)
The Elections Administrator may employ other personnel necessary for the proper administration
of the election, as well as, pre and post-election administration. In such cases, costs shall be pro-
rated among participants of this contract. Personnel working in support of full-time staff will be
expensed on a pro-rated basis and include a time period of one week prior to the election, during
the election, and one week post-election. Personnel working in support of the Early Voting
Ballot Board and/or central counting station on election night will be compensated at the hourly
rate set by Denton County in accordance with Election Code Sections 87.005, 127.004, and
127.006.

entity(ies) responsible for the hours will be billed for those hours. The Elections Administrator
will determine when those hours are necessary, the number of staff and whom are necessary,
along with to whom the hours are to be billed. Cost for these hours will be billed at a rate of 1.5

authority, to all Early Voting and Election Day locations affected, prior to voting commencing.

equipment, as required by Chapters 127 and 129 of the Texas Election Code.
At each polling location, joint participants shall share voting equipment and supplies to the
extent possible. The participating authorities shall share a mutual ballot in those precincts where
jurisdictions overlap. Multiple ballot styles shall be available in those shared polling places
where jurisdictions do not overlap. The Elections Administrator shall provide the necessary voter
registration information, maps, instructions, and other information needed to enable the election
judges in the voting locations that have more than one ballot style to conduct a proper election.
Each participating authority shall furnish the Elections Administrator a list of candidates and/or
propositions showing the order and the exact manner in which the candidate names and/or
proposition(s) are to appear on the official ballot (including titles and text in each language in
which the authority’s ballot is to be printed). Said list must be provided to the Elections
Office within three (3) business days following the last day to file for a place on the ballot or

information must be in an upper and lowercase format, be in Arial 12 point font, and must
contain candidate contact information for the purposes of verifying the pronunciation of each
candidate’s name. Each participating authority shall be responsible for proofreading and
approving the ballot insofar as it pertains to that authority’s candidates and/or propositions. Each
participating authority shall be responsible for proofing and approving the audio recording of the
ballot insofar as it pertains to that authority’s candidates and/or propositions. The approval
must be finalized with the Elections Office within five (5) calendar days of the receipt of the
proofs, or the provided proofs shall be considered approved.
The joint election ballots shall list the County’s election first. The joint election ballots that
contain ballot content for more than one joint participant because of overlapping territory shall
35

branch polling places will be considered, and determined based on the availability of facility and
if it is within the Election Code parameters. All costs for temporary locations including coverage
by Election Administration staff will be borne by the requesting authority. The Elections
Administrator will determine when those hours are necessary, the number of staff and whom are
necessary, along with to whom the hours are to be billed. Cost for these hours will be billed at a

Each participating authority eligible to hold runoff elections agrees that the date of the runoff
election, if necessary, shall be Tuesday, December 7, 2021, with early voting being held in

XI. ELECTION EXPENSES AND ALLOCATION OF COSTS
The participating authorities agree to share the costs of administering the Joint Election.

Election Day location expenses will be allocated based on each participating authority’s
percentage of registered voters assigned to each polling place. If a participating authority’s

fees allocated to the participating authority for the cost of the Election Day polling location in
which the authority has fewer than 50% of the total registered voters served by that polling
location, except that if the number of registered voters in all of the authority’s polling locations is
less than the 50% threshold, the participating authority shall share the expenses, based on their
percentage of registered voters, of the polling location at which it has the greatest number of
registered voters.
In the event that participating authorities with overlapping boundaries cannot make an agreement
on Early Voting and/or Election Day locations, the requesting participating authority agrees to
bear the entire expense of the location.
Each participating authority requesting additional hours, outside of the standard hours, for a
location or locations, agree to split the cost of the additional open hours equally amongst the
requesting participating authorities.
Costs for Early Voting by mail, in-person ballots, provisional ballot, and Poll Pad paper shall be
allocated according to the actual number of ballots issued to each participating authority’s voters
and the cost shared equally amongst participating authorities of each ballot style.
Each participating authority agrees to pay the Elections Administrator an administrative fee
equal to ten percent (10%) of its total billable costs in accordance with Section 31.100(d) of the
Texas Election Code.
39
The Denton County Elections Administrator shall deposit all funds payable under this contract
into the appropriate fund(s) within the county treasury in accordance with Election Code Section
31.100.
The Denton County Elections Administrator reserves the right to adjust the above formulas in
agreement with an individual jurisdiction if the above formula results in a cost allocation that is
inequitable.
If any participating authority makes a special request for extra Temporary Branch Early Voting
by Personal Appearance locations as provided by the Texas Election Code, that entity agrees to
pay the entire cost for that request.
Participating authorities having the majority of their voters in another county, and fewer than 500
registered voters in Denton County, and that do not have an Election Day polling place or early
voting location within their Denton County territory shall pay a flat fee of $400 for election
expenses.

intents to withdraw have been received by the Elections Administrator.

Access to the election records shall be available to each participating authority as well as to the
public in accordance with applicable provisions of the Texas Election Code and the Texas Public

CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item Report
Meeting Date: September 7, 2021
Submitted by: Ron Hartline
Submitting Department: Engineering
Item Type: Resolution
Agenda Section:
Subject:
Consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Services Contract in
the amount of $ 114,850.00 with F&F Concrete, LLC. for the Windhaven Parkway Edge Drain Installation
Project. (Hartline)
Suggested Action:
Summary of Request:
Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Services Contract in
the amount of $ 114,850.00 with F&F Concrete, LLC for the Windhaven Parkway Edge Drain Installation
Project.
Background:
The existing French Drain system along Windhaven Parkway (east of the railroad) was originally installed
during the construction of the roadway to resolve groundwater issues that were being encountered in this area.
The roadway was cut into the side of a large hill and groundwater currently seeps through concrete cracks and
onto the roadway for long periods of time throughout the year. This water can be a potential roadway hazard
during winter months when the water freezes. The original French Drain is no longer fully effective as the filter
fabric on the outside of the drain has become clogged with sediment and/or clay particles that have
accumulated through the years allowing more groundwater to now seep through the joints in the roadway.
This project will include the construction needed to install an edge drain on the westbound lane to help collect
the groundwater and resolve the issue on this side of the roadway. The scope of work consists of the
installation of approximately 1700 linear feet of 18” edge drain along the north curb line of the west bound lane of
Windhaven Parkway. Also included is approximately 40 linear feet of 6” HDPE pipe installation by horizontal
directional drilling and approximately 30 linear feet of 6” HDPE pipe used to transition from the edge drain to
connections to existing storm inlet boxes.
The project bids were opened on August 4, 2021 and the low bidder was F&F Concrete, LLC. at a cost of $
114,850.00. City staff received positive feedback from Bandera Utility Contractors and other city staff and
recommend approval of the contract with this company.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Construction Services Contract in the amount of $ 114,850.00 with F&F
Concrete, LLC. With approval, the project is anticipated to start construction at the end of September 2021
with an estimated completion in January 2021.

to provide documentation that the application is supported by: (1) the city council of the municipality in which the
site is located, (2) the city council of each municipality with a boundary located not more than one-half mile from
the Site, (3) the city council of each municipality that owns or operates a groundwater supply well located not
more than five miles from the Site, and (4) the governing body of each retail public utility, as defined by Section
13.002, Texas Water Code, that owns or operates a groundwater supply well located not more than five miles
from the Site. The City of the Colony operates water wells within a five mile radius of this site and therefore
must provide documentation that the City of The Colony supports the MSD application for this site.
The Site is currently enrolled in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup
Program (VCP) as VCP No. 944. The purpose of the Municipal Setting Designation is that the use of MSDs
encourages the economic development of properties with contaminated groundwater in areas where
groundwater is not valuable as a source of potable water. This MSD resolution, if approved, would indicate the
city’s support for the Applicant’s submission of an application to the TCEQ for an MSD certificate that would
ultimately restrict the use of contaminated groundwater beneath the site once approved by TCEQ. The purpose
of the MSD certificate is to encourage the economic development of properties with contaminated groundwater
by limiting the scope of environmental response actions required by TCEQ to address soil and groundwater
contamination at the Site under the Texas Voluntary Cleanup Program. If the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approves the application for this site to receive an MSD, it shall be unlawful to
use the designated groundwater beneath the MSD site.
Based on information provided by the Applicant, the contaminated groundwater beneath the site is shallow
groundwater at a depth of approximately 3.5-18 feet below ground surface. The Identified chemicals of concern
(COCs) in the designated groundwater that exceed residential assessment levels are various chlorinated
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), presumably from historical use of the site as a semiconductor
67
manufacturing facility. The contaminated groundwater plume is wholly contained within the boundary of the site
(1000 Hutson Drive, Frisco, Collin County, Texas, 75034) and has not migrated off-site.
The City of The Colony Public Works and Engineering Departments have reviewed the attached environmental
sampling information provided by Compliance Partners, Inc. Based on the fact that the soil and groundwater
plumes are located within the boundaries of the property at shallow (3-18') depths, the groundwater plumes
appear to be reducing in size, the deepest well (55' depth) on the site is showing water quality readings within
applicable TCEQ groundwater PCL’s and the site is located approximately 4.9 miles from our nearest city water
well; it appears unlikely that the shallow contamination at the MSD site in Frisco could impact our water wells.
We find no reason to oppose the Applicants request for the proposed MSD support for this site.
The City of Frisco adopted Ordinance No. 2021-08-54 approving the MSD application within their city on August
17, 2021. A copy of the approved City of Frisco ordinance is attached for review.
A letter requesting support of the MSD application is attached for review and includes a list of City of The Colony
water wells located within 5 miles of the site. A Site location Map showing the location of the site in relation to
the closest City of the Colony groundwater well, a Site Plan showing the Former Hutson Property, Groundwater
Plume Maps and a discussion of the history of the Hutson site are also attached for review.
Recommendation:
City staff have reviewed the MSD and recommend approval.

The City of Frisco passed Ordinance No. 2020-12-91 on December 1, 2020 that amended
Frisco’s code of ordinance, ordinance No. 06-03-31, as amended, adding Article XI
(Municipal Setting Designation) to chapter 34 (Environment); providing for Municipal
setting designations to prohibit the use of groundwater in designated areas.
The Site is currently enrolled in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) as VCP No. 944. The purpose of the Municipal Setting
Designation is that the use of MSDs encourages the economic development of properties
with contaminated groundwater in areas where groundwater is not valuable as a source of
potable water. This MSD resolution, if approved, would restrict the use of contaminated
groundwater beneath the designated property and indicate the city’s support for
Applicant’s submission of an application to the TCEQ for an MSD certificate. The
purpose of the MSD certificate is to encourage the economic development of properties
with contaminated groundwater by limiting the scope of environmental response actions
required by TCEQ to address soil and groundwater contamination at the Site under the
Texas Voluntary Cleanup Program.
The site was occupied by Hutson Industries, Inc. from 1977 to 2014. Hutson Industries
manufactured semiconductor products that were used in light dimmer switches, variable-
speed hand drills, and various other commercial and household products. Specifically,
Hutson Industries, Inc. began operations in 1977 on the west central portion of the Site,
added an additional facility (Fab 2) in the northeast corner of the Site, and ceased
operation in 2014. Since 2014, the owners have been decommissioning and removing
equipment from the facility. In 2016, the Fab 2 building and associated Building 2A, both
located at the northeast corner of the Site, were demolished. This portion of the Property
was later sold and developed.
The contaminated groundwater beneath the site is shallow groundwater at a depth of
approximately 3.5-18 feet below ground surface. The identified chemicals of concern
(COCs) in the designated groundwater that exceed residential assessment levels are various
chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), presumably from historical use of the site
as a semiconductor manufacturing facility. The contaminated groundwater plume is
wholly contained within the boundary of the Site (1000 Hutson Drive, Frisco, Collin
County, Texas, 75034) and has not migrated off-site. Analytical results for groundwater
samples collected from groundwater monitor wells on the Site indicate the direction of
migration of COCs across the Site is to the southwest, the same direction as the surface
slope.
Six sources are documented to have impacted the soil/groundwater on the Site. Two of the
sources / releases were separately resolved with the TCEQ and were not part of the VCP;
therefore, they are not discussed as part of this MSD application. The remaining sources /
releases were addressed in the VCP and were discussed and summarized in the 2017
Affected Property Assessment Report (APAR). The following is taken from the 2017
APAR:
78
A release of unknown origin was discovered on the Site as a result of inquiries made by
JNC Enterprises, LTD, owner of the adjacent property to the south (the Morgan Tract)
that was initially documented in 1996 during Due Diligence activities on that tract pending
purchase of the property by JNC Enterprises.
Trace amounts of chlorinated solvents were discovered in the surface water on the Morgan
Tract in 1996 during investigations conducted as part of the due diligence relative to a
pending sale of their property. At the direction of Hutson Industries, CPI conducted initial
site investigations to identify the presence of VOCs and relevant metals in the surface and
subsurface soils, sediment, surface water, and groundwater at the Site. The primary
identified COCs were tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and its decomposition products
trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), cis-1,2 dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-
DCE), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (trans-1,2-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC) (not identified at
that time, but included as a decomposition product), and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA)
and its decomposition product 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA). The selected chlorinated
compounds are slightly soluble in water and are heavier than water. These compounds
were selected as the chemicals of concern for the initial Hutson Industries surface
investigation initiated in 1996. Metals and all other VOCs were excluded from the ongoing
sampling by negative findings in initial analytical data. TCE and 1,1,1-TCA have been
used at the facility and are common halogenated solvents used throughout the
semiconductor manufacturing industry.
The release is historic and the most likely identified on-site chlorinated solvent source was a
former drum storage area at the Site used for temporary storage of solvent drums during
the period between 1983 and 1988. The drums were removed from this area in 1988 and
shipped to offsite disposal. No evidence of continued source release was discovered. This
area was identified as Former Drum Storage Area (Source Area #1) in the initial 2005
APAR and in the Response Action Plan (RAP) and Revised RAP, and was identified in the
2005 APAR as one of two areas of Protective Concentration Level (PCL) exceedance for
soil. Source Area #1 was the location of the highest observed concentrations of soil COCs
on the Site and was considered the apparent source area with respect to site investigation
and assessment activities. Concentrations in soil at Source Area #1 exceeded the Tier 1
Residential (0.5-acre source) GWSoilIng PCLs for PCE, TCE, and 1,1-DCE. No non-aqueous
phase liquid (NAPL) was observed in the soil.
Initial response actions included the removal of approximately 120 cubic yards of soil from
Source Area #1 in October 1997. Excavation clearance samples obtained in October and
November 1997 indicated that chlorinated solvents had migrated downward into the
underlying limestone formation below the affected area of the Site and affected shallow
groundwater at concentrations above method detection limits. The Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) (predecessor agency to the TCEQ) was
notified of the chlorinated solvents in the soil and groundwater, and Hutson Industries
entered the Voluntary Cleanup Program in July 1999.
It appears that the COCs entered the soil from the ground surface and percolated into the
shallow groundwater. The upper Austin Chalk bedrock formation lies beneath the surface
79
at the Site. The Austin Chalk is fractured vertically and horizontally, and slopes to the
southwest. These features caused the COCs to be confined in the upper Austin Chalk and
to be transported in the shallow groundwater, following the natural slope of the bedrock to
the southwest, where the groundwater discharged into an unnamed branch of Stewart
Creek near its offsite intersection with the east right of way of Preston Road (State
Highway 289).
General assessment methods since the releases were discovered included the installation of
44 groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-41, MW-43, MW-44, MW-45)
between 1997 and 2019; the collection of surface and subsurface soil samples, surface water
samples, and sediment samples; and the collection of groundwater samples from the
monitoring wells for laboratory analysis in order to delineate the vertical and horizontal
extent of impact and to delineate the shallow groundwater plume.
Additional Site investigations conducted during the period from May 2000 through
January 2001 resulted in the identification of three areas of concern in addition to Source
Area #1.
One area of affected surface soil was identified on the south side of the Main Building at
the Site (identified affected area is now underneath the expanded Main Building). COCs
identified in this area are total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), arsenic, copper, lead,
nickel, and tin. All of the COCs identified were in common use in the facility's
manufacturing processes. The source of the TPH was associated with leaks and spills from
an air compressor located on the north side of the impacted area. The metals were
associated with minor spills associated with electroplating operations used in the
semiconductor manufacturing process. Critical PCLs for this area were determined to be
the method detection limit for TPH and area background levels for the metals of
concern. Approximately 30 cubic yards of impacted soil were removed from the area
during a response action that occurred in February 2001. Clearance samples were collected
and submitted in a Focused Response Action Completion Report (RACR), dated February
27, 2001. The TNRCC issued a final concurrence and no further action letter regarding
this area, dated March 16, 2001.
A second source, identified as Former Drum Storage Area (Source Area #2), was located
near the northeast corner of the Site, near and under the east end of the former Building
2A, which was located on the east end of the former Fab 2 building. The drums stored in
this area were also removed in 1988. No prior release was documented at this area. To
investigate the subsurface for a potential release of COCs, one groundwater monitor well
(MW-33) was installed in the area. Two soil samples were collected at depths of 1 foot and
7 feet bgs and analyzed for VOCs, TPH, and selected metals. Analytical results for VOCs
and TPH were below the analytical detection limits. No NAPL was observed in the
soil. Metals concentrations were below the Tier 1 Residential (0.5-acre source) GWSoilIng
PCLs or the Texas-Specific Background Concentrations (TSBCs), except for arsenic, which
was slightly above the TSBC. The land was historically agricultural-use, including cotton
crops. Arsenic levels above TSBCs are expected with this historic activity. Site-specific
background levels for metals were developed during the project. Observed concentrations
80
of arsenic at Source Area #2 were below the calculated site-specific background
concentration. Analytical results for groundwater samples collected from MW-33 during
three sampling events were below the analytical detection limits except for a sample
collected on May 18, 2001 containing 0.015 milligrams per liter (mg/L) 1,1-DCE, which
exceeded the Tier 1 Residential (0.5-acre source) PCL for GWGWIng. No 1,1-DCE was
detected in the groundwater sample collected on November 19, 2005. No NAPL was
observed in the groundwater. No further action was recommended in the 2006 APAR for
Former Drum Storage Area (Source Area #2).
A third source, identified as Former 450-Gal Tote Tank Location (Source Area #3), was
located near the northeast corner of the Site on the north side of the former Fab 2
building. A 450-gallon tote tank had been placed there to temporarily store spent non-
halogenated solvents (D001 ignitable hazardous waste solvents) used in the manufacturing
process. The tote tank was removed in 2000. No prior release was documented at this
location. One groundwater monitor well (MW-37) was installed at this location in August
2001 to investigate the area for a potential release. COC concentrations in soil collected at
a depth of 5 feet bgs during the installation of monitor well MW-37 at Source Area #3
exceeded the Tier 1 Residential (0.5-acre source) GWSoilIng PCLs for ethylbenzene, o-xylene,
and m- & p-xylenes. No NAPL was observed in the soil. The observed TPH C6-C10
concentration was 785 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), which exceeded the Tier 1
Residential (0.5-acre source) GWSoilIng PCL. The initial groundwater sample collected from
monitor well MW-37 contained selected VOC constituents above method detection limit
but below Tier 1 Residential (0.5-acre source) GWGWIng PCLs. Analytical results of COCs
in groundwater samples collected during four events were below their analytical detection
limits or PCLs except for a sample collected on November 18, 2002 that contained 0.0116
mg/L 1,1-DCE, a concentration above the Tier 1 Residential (0.5-acre source) GWGWIng
PCL. No 1,1-DCE was detected in the groundwater samples collected on April 28, 2004
and November 19, 2005. No NAPL was observed in the groundwater. All VOC constituent
concentrations from groundwater samples collected during subsequent sampling events
have been below the analytical detection limits or the respective PCLs. No further action
was recommended in the 2006 APAR for Former 450-Gal Tote Tank Location (Source
Area #3).
An APAR was submitted to the TCEQ VCP on March 16, 2006, and a Response Action
Plan (RAP) was submitted on October 24, 2006. The RAP proposed a Plume Management
Zone (PMZ) as the groundwater remedy. Conditional approval for the RAP was received
on October 11, 2007, and the TCEQ issued a Conditional Certificate of Completion for
Remedy Standard B commercial/industrial standards on June 17, 2008.
As mentioned, a modified groundwater response approach consisting of the establishment
of a PMZ was the response action established in 2008 by the TCEQ. Monitored Natural
Attenuation (MNA) is currently being used to ensure that the critical groundwater PCLs
are not exceeded at the alternate Point of Exposure (POE) located beyond the
downgradient limit of the PCLE zone (monitoring well MW-44). MNA is generally
reducing the concentration of the COCs to the critical groundwater PCLs throughout the
groundwater PCLE zone with some seasonal concentration upticks and expected
81
decomposition product concentration upticks. Monitoring wells installed at cross- and
down-gradient locations within the PCLE zone are being used as the attenuation
monitoring points to bi-annually monitor for COC groundwater plume migration. The
AMP wells are MW-10, MW-12, MW-14, MW-17, and MW-34. In addition, perimeter
monitoring point wells MW-9, MW-16, MW-31, MW-32, MW-36 / MW-36R, and MW-43R
are sampled annually. Yearly Response Action Effectiveness Reports (RAER) have been
submitted to the TCEQ with the sampling results. In addition, a Revised APAR was
submitted to the TCEQ on March 29, 2017. Note that remaining monitoring wells not used
for the PMZ were properly plugged and abandoned in 2010.
With respect to groundwater contamination, review of the groundwater data indicates that
current and historic concentrations of the groundwater COCs are below the current Tier 1
Residential AirGWInh-V PCLs for a 30-acre source area, which are the applicable
groundwater PCLs used by the TCEQ with a MSD. With respect to soil contamination, no
soil PCL Exceedance zones remain at the Hutson VCP Site. Specifically, a recent review of
soil data from the Site indicates that current and historic concentrations of remaining soil
COCs are below the current Tier 1 Residential AirSoilInh-V PCLs, AirGW-SoilInh-V PCLs, or
TotalSoilComb PCLs for a 30-acre source area, which are the applicable soil PCLs used by the
TCEQ with a MSD. Therefore, this facility meets the TCEQ requirements for final
closure to residential standards using the MSD.
Environmental investigation, sampling, and remediation have been conducted on the Site
from 1996 through 2021. CPI on behalf of Hutson Industries, Inc. requested and received
MSD Ordinance 2021-08-54 from the City of Frisco to facilitate Site closure through the
VCP and issuance of a VCP Final Certificate of Completion. This will enable and
encourage the economic development of the Site.
CPI on behalf of Hutson Industries, Inc. is also requesting a supporting resolution from the
City of The Colony to facilitate Site closure through the VCP.

Staff Analysis
Land Use Analysis
The subject site is located in Planned Development 20 (PD-20). Planned Development 20 (PD-
20) included a concept plan to allow the construction of a natatorium building, including
development standards for parking, landscape, and screening. The LISD Natatorium was
constructed in 2006. Lewisville ISD has since changed the name of the facility to the Eastside
Aquatics Center.
Planned Development 20 (PD-20) originally included the discussion but not plans for a future
middle school. In February of 2019, the LISD board of trustees approved a resolution
designating the middle school property as “surplus” and authorized the district staff to take
action in regard to the sale of the properties. The sale of the property indicated that n o future
educational purposes are anticipated on the site and is no longer necessary for district operations.
The area within Planned Development 20 (PD -20) property was subdivided into the Eastside
Aquatics Center site and the land that became Planned De velopment 28 (PD-28).
The proposed site plan changes will not change the use of the land nor increase the intensity of
the use. The proposed improvement s will increase the functionality of the site and improve
parking, screening and access.
Building Elevations
No changes are proposed to t he existing elevation as reflected in the plan exhibit. The Eastside
Aquatics Center was built to 39’4” in height and is composed primarily of masonry , with brick,
plaster, EFIS, glazed masonry units, and contains m etal accent panels. The elevation plan
reflects an earth-tone color pallet, including shades of brown, red, and grey.
Circulation and Parking
The proposed site plan reflects additional parking and an access driveway to Trailview Drive. In
2005, the original natatorium site was to provide two -hundred (200) parking spaces. At that time
of review, the highest school use parking ratio was one (1) per four (4) spectators. Adjacent
shared parking with the envisaged middle school site was to assist with a ny parking overflow.
With an approved planned development for an 80-lot single-family development in replacement
of the middle school site, overflow parking is precluded from the adjacent site. The proposed
310 parking spaces exceeds the highest associated parking ratio in the Off-Street Parking
Schedule (13-100). Swimming pool/Club, (Public or Private) requires one (1) space per seventy-
five (75) ft of pool and deck. The additional parking spaces are anticipated to accommodate the
operations of the facility and the additional access drive satisfies emergency access and improves
site circulation.

Eight (8) ADA accessible spaces are proposed, including one ADA van space. All ADA spaces
are located closest to the building. A circular drive surrounds the aquatic center, and driveways
connect from Memorial Boulevard and Trailview Drive. Existing sidewalks provide pedestrian
access along Memorial Drive and Trailview Drive.
Landscaping and Buffering
The existing landscape was installed in 2005. The only change s reflected within the existing
landscape are replacing dead and missing Aristrat Pears trees with Shumard Oaks, and the
replanting evergreen trees and shrubs along the north property line. The area of new landscaping
will include continuing the evergreen screening along the northern property line, provide a
twelve-foot landscaped strip at the western property boarder, provide landscape area and trees
plantings consistent with parking lot requirements and provide new rows of evergreen shurbs to
complement the new driveway serving Trailview Drive . Overall the Landscape Plan includes
thirty-six (36) additional large canopy trees, thirty-five (35) additional small ornamental trees,
and mass plantings of evergreen shrubs.
Development Review Committee Review
The Development Review Committee (DRC) recommends approval of the proposed site plan.
Prior Action
August 10, 2021 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted (6 -0) to recommend approval of
the site plan application including 198 parking spaces, one (1) access drive, and landscaping on
an approximately 7.830- acre tract of land.

NARRATIVE DOCUMENT FOR APPROVAL OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT
ABOUT SCHOOL OF ROCK
The School of Rock is a revolutionary approach to music education. Students participate in individual, private
lessons and work toward an end-of-season showcase where the students perform together as a band at a
local music venue.
School of Rock believes that every person, every student, has a home. Oftentimes, students find us because
they “dont fit in”, They have not yet found a place where they are comfortable. Maybe they are not in sports, or
academics, and their creativity is blossoming. When they com e to School of Rock they have a home. Everyone
fits in here. It does not matter if you are 7 years old, 17 years old or 67 years old, you have a home at School
of Rock.
School of Rock started in 1998 in Philadelphia, and since the first school opened, it has inspired a Movie (with
Jack Black), TV Show and a Broadway musical. In the last 20+ years, School of Rock has grown to over 220
schools worldwide thanks to our innovative and proven approach to music education. In fact, we continue to
pave the way for music education to grow and adapt, teaching children classically as well as through
performance. We know that through playing, kids learn faster, and play better. But do not let the name fool you.
We might be called School of Rock, but that doesn't mean it's all AC/DC and Metallica. If you want to learn
Pop, Blues, Jazz, Metal, Country, Songwriting, etc, we've got you covered. Our teachers are experts in their
fields, and we are proud to have them.
WHO WE ARE
School of Rock locations can be found throughout North Texas. TKAA The
Colony, LLC is composed of two husband-and-wife teams who are native to
the North Texas area. Kristin and Ray Kidd have operated School of Rock
franchises for over 12 years, since 2009.
Ray grew up in a highly musical atmosphere, living under the same roof as a
Music Minister, Band Instructor and singer for the Vocal Majority. From a
young age, he gravitated towards Elvis & The Ramones instead of the 80’s
new wave of the day. A cancerous tumor left him deaf in one ear, but that
didn’t sway his love for music. Living in Grand Junction Colorado, young Ray
decided he wanted to learn guitar. His parents took him to a member of their
church, the guitar-tech-turned-guitar-player of the 80’s Hair-Metal band, Quiet
Riot. (“Come on feel the noise” and “Bang your Head/Metal Health”) . Ray
108
picked up guitar with ease, as he seems to do with any instrument (except vocals!).
Moving back to Texas his senior year of high school, Ray immediately joined a band looking for a bass player.
After graduating, he became a private school kindergarten teacher by day / Rockstar by night. His band won
the Dallas Observer Award for best punk band in DFW, playing with such bands as: Bowling for Soup, Brand
New, Taking Back Sunday and more.
Eventually some severe health problems resulted in Ray
becoming completely deaf for a few months, putting his life & band
on hold. When he regained hearing in his good ear, he moved
back to Dallas, and joined back up with his band-mates. They re-
formed as a new band and quickly garnered a large following
playing with bands such as Bad Religion, Hot Water Music, Less
Than Jake and more.
When the Frisco School of
Rock opened in North
Dallas, Ray was a perfect
fit as an instructor. Ray
quickly learned that his
passion could become a reality and a career. He worked his way up to
becoming the Music Director of what became the second largest
School of Rock in the nation, leading him to later train and work in
multiple locations in the DFW area. After 6 years, Ray and his wife
moved out to Southern California and led a cultural revolution by
opening up multiple, brand new schools from scratch. A few years later
the Kidds were moved back to DFW to oversee 27 locations across the
US.
Kristin has a degree in English and Child Development from the
University of North Texas, as well as a certification in Audio
Engineering. She has experience running one of Texas’ largest
recording studios, working with artists such as Justin Timberlake,
Timbaland, The Jonas Brothers and more.
When her husband and family began talking about their future, they
knew that bringing School of Rock to their home -town was what they
wanted to do.
For the last 2 years, Kristin and Ray have partnered with Natalie and
Jake Kidd (Ray’s brother & his wife) to own and operate a School of
Rock in College Station. Kristin and Ray live in The Colony and
believe it to be an excellent city for their second school.
OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY
The Kidd family has always operated our business with the mindset of “community first”. We believe in
supporting local businesses, and local organizations, and we believe in building a strong awareness of the
communities we serve. We are heavily involved in giving back to our community th rough:
● Monetary donations to local school fundraisers and PTOs
109
● We give generously to silent auction donations for local ISDs, police, fire, medical fundraisers
● We offer discounts for local ISD, Police, Fire, and Medical personnel
● We provide entertainment at local elementary and middle school festivals
● We offer scholarship programs for children in our communities who can not afford our program
● We collect donation items for local food banks and family shelters.
GENERAL BUSINESS INFORMATION
STAFFING
School of Rock provides jobs for musicians and like -minded creative thinkers in the community. We operate
with a General Manager, Music Director, and several teachers on staff.
Our general manager is a young lady who is new to School of Rock and is excite d for her growth potential with
our new business. She oversees the day-to-day operation of the school, and is on salary.
Our Music Director is the “back of house” manager who works in harmony with the General Manager. Their job
is to coordinate curriculum for the students, oversee music instruction, and train and mentor the instructors.
The remainder of our staff are music instructors who earn anywhere from $12 -$22/hr., depending on their level
of musical proficiency and teaching acumen.
School of Rock is such a wonderful place for musicians to work. They get to be around their art, passion and
music all day, and teach the next generation of young aspiring musicians to learn and grow in their art.
Over the years, several of our students have become in structors and even managers for us. In fact, the Music
Directors of the McKinney and Fort Worth schools were our students in Frisco. And the GM of the Frisco
school was one of our students as well. We love, and take pride in, building and growing talent, n ot just
musically, but professionally and personally as well.
SAFETY
We believe that a safe space for learning is at the heart of a great School of Rock. That means we follow the
strict guidelines laid out by corporate with safety in mind. We have cameras in every room and hallway, and a
locked cabinet to house the DVR.
We train each and every employee on safety procedures, and even go above and beyond with our staff to train
them in CPR, and abuse awareness training.
LAYOUT
Our lesson space is divided into 7 private lesson rooms, two rehearsal rooms, and a student lounge, which is
essentially a waiting area for students. (This area may or may not contain the greatest arcade game of all
time, Galaga).
HOURS OF OPERATION
Our hours normally run 2pm-9pm, Monday - Fridays, and Saturdays 10am -5pm. All rehearsals are scheduled
after 6pm Monday-Thursday.
110
STUDENT PICK-UP / DROP-OFF
One reason we selected this unit is the existence of a drive -through lane along the side of the building. This
will decrease the need for parents to park when dropping off or picking up, and it directs them to the retail exit
of the parking lot. We also have the advantage of being adjacent to a large parking lot where retail
development has yet to occur.
OUR CO-TENANTS
In our previous experience of opening and operating 27 schools across the nation, we know that location and
co-tenants are the highest priority when it comes to selecting a new location. We want to find businesses that
will compliment our customer base, will benefit with more business from our customers, and will be of the
highest quality for our parents and students to be around. In short, we look for Grade -A real estate.
Our school here in The Colony fits in perfectly with the surrounding businesses. Our co -tenants in One-2-One
Plaza are very similar to our current co-tenants in College Station, and we selected this particular location
because our unit is an end-cap, sharing only one wall. Here’s a brief summary of our co -tenants:
● A Dentist and an Eye Doctor who generally see lots of children
● A title company, which will see new residents moving into The Colony
● A kickboxing gym, which our parents will love working out at while their kids are in lessons
● And if they prefer to relax, we have two massage business’ as well
● And lastly we have an awesome, kid-friendly restaurant that serves food and drinks, so parents can get
dinner while waiting for their kids.
While searching for the perfect location, we had several locations to choose from; we ultimately chose this
center because of the endcap and co-tenants.
COMMITMENT TO OUR NEIGHBORS
Our franchisor insists on very strict guidelines when it comes to sound control. We not only approach sound
control from a construction standpoint, but also architecturally. A few choices we have made with sound
reduction in mind:
1. We have used School of Rock Corporate mandated and suggested construction techniques to reduce
sound transmission:
a. Specialized equipment for lesson room drum sets, called “silent stroke” heads and cymbals,
which effectively making them no louder than normal speech
b. Double drywall, and specialized drywall types per School of Rock corporate standards
c. Hard ceilings in louder rooms to mitigate sound to an extra degree
d. Increased insulation in ceilings and throughout the walls
e. Door seals
2. We selected an endcap unit.
111
a. This is to ensure that sound is only shared on 1 wall.
3. Areas that tend to get noisy are purposefully built on the exterior wall.
a. We purposefully put our rehearsal rooms on the exterior walls. We put our quieter rooms on
shared walls, including keeping the bathrooms and break room on the shared wall.
4. We selected an immediately adjacent neighbor whose hours of operation are the opposite of ours.
a. The Physical Therapy tennant next to us has nearly opposite hours of operation.
b. We also worked closely with the landlord in our lease to ensure we would abide by specific
decibel levels so as to go above and beyond to prove to them that we want to be good
neighbors.
SUMMARY
We believe so strongly in School of Rock that not only have we dedicated the last 12 years o f our lives to it, but
we put our hard earned money into buying a franchise in College Station.
When the opportunity opened for us to move back home to DFW, we jumped on it immediately.
We chose from South Dallas, Arlington, Fort Wort and The Colony. WE CHOSE THE COLONY.
Having been Frisco residents for several years, we knew how incredible the growth has been here in The
Colony. We have watched, first hand, The Colony go from being a destination for Hawaiian Falls Water Park
and Top Golf to exploding over the last 5-10 years into where we are now. And on top of that, we chose to live
here, in The Legends neighborhood, so we could be right by our school.
Every School of Rock we open, brings the community together. We create jobs. We create a safe spa ce for
kids to fit in. We create a community that fosters creativity. And we create musicians.
Please allow us to open, so that all of our pre-enrolled students, and teachers who are ready to start teaching,
can make this school a reality!

Letter to Mayor and Council
The Honorable Mayor and City Council,
In accordance with Civil Statues of Texas and the City Charter, the annual budget, for the fiscal year
October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, is presented for your consideration. The Budget is an
important policy document because it presents in financial terms the overall plan to accomplish the City’s
program of services during the upcoming fiscal year.
2021-2022 budget highlights:
Ad Valorem Taxes are the City’s major revenue source. Total current Ad Valorem Taxes budgeted this year
are $39,168,503 which is a $4.45 million increase from the prior year. The increase is due to an increase
in the City’s tax base of about $756 million, offset by a reduction in the tax rate from 65.5 to 65 cents per
$100 dollars of valuation. Approximately $141 million of the increase in tax base came from new
construction, of which about $32 million was in TIRZ ONE or TWO. Of the $4.45 million increase in property
taxes, $3.3 million is budgeted in the General Fund and the remaining $1.15 million in General Fund Debt
Service.
Sales and Mixed beverage Tax receipts budgeted at $8.45 million, is an increase of $950k or 12% above
the prior year’s budget.
Franchise fees were increase $15k to $2.65 million.
Licenses and Building Permit Fees decreased about $240k to $1.305 million due primarily to a softening
in building permits.
General Fund internal service department costs allocated to other Funds are $6,846,461 as compared to
prior year’s allocation of $6,346,461. The allocations to respective Funds are $5,653,630 to Utility, Parks
$1,014,398, and 4A, 4B, and Capital Projects Admin Funds make up the $178,433 balance.
This budget includes about $33 million in enhancements to services. Projects included are $9 million in
street, alleyway, and sidewalk reconstruction. $8.3 million for new fire station, fire engine and ambulance,
$3.1 million in parks and trails, $3 million for water esthetics improvements, $2 million wastewater
treatment plant expansion, $2 million is various utility projects, and $6 million in various building
renovations, vehicle, and equipment replacements.
Also included in this budget and supported by operating revenues are employee additions costing a little
over $2 million. Included in the position additions are 6 Firefighters Paramedics, 4 Police officers and a
lieutenant, Kennel Technician, Water Production operator, Maintenance Operator Crew Leader, and a
crew of four for street repair. Event Specialist was also made full time.
The budget also includes blended COLA raises of 2.5% and a 10% increase in health care, costing a little
over $1.4. Both employee additions and raises/health care increases are supported by operating
revenues.
1 of 74 151
Ending Fund balance in the General Fund is maintained at 80 operating days in reserves. 60 operating days
are maintained in Utility and Parks Funds.
Economic incentives have been budgeted in the Economic Development (Type A) Fund to promote new
enterprises and to retain existing business.
To assure a quality community, cultural and leisure activities, and park improvements, funding has been
provided in Special Events, Lake Parks, and CDC (Type B) budgets.
The total adopted operating budget is $87,982,336, excluding transfers out, a 3% increase from the 21-22
total operating budget.
Economic Development
The Nebraska Furniture Mart TIRZ was established November 2011 for a 433-acre $1.5 billion Grandscape
development. The Nebraska Furniture Mart store, the anchor store of the development, opened in early
March 2015. In June 2020, Scheels opened the largest sporting goods store in the world offering 85
specialty shops. Numerous restaurants and a hotel have also located in the Zone. On the north side of
SH121, in The Colony and across from Grandscape, Rooms To Go, Mattress Firm, and Floor and Décor
have opened. Other new commercial development on the north side of SH121 in The Colony include
Topgolf, numerous hotels, a medical office building, couple of shopping centers, and several restaurants
and other businesses. Business activity has brought numerous jobs to the City. The Nebraska Furniture
Mart store itself employs around 1,800 people.
The widening of FM 423 (Main Street) to a 6 and 8 lane divided street was completed in late 2017 and has
significantly increased redevelopment along this vital corridor.
The Tribute, the only remaining sizeable residential development in The Colony, continues to increase the
number of buildable lots. Housing permits have remained strong the past couple of years and are
expected to do so for the next several years.
Quality of Life
The City values quality of life for all its residents. The City continues to fund the Library, Parks, and
Recreation Departments operating budgets to assure quality community programs. Beautification,
landscaping, and park improvements are also included in the budget to enhance the City’s image. The
City’s emphasis on opportunities for quality recreational programs and facilities led to The Colony being
designated as a “Playful City USA” - one of only 9 cities in Texas and 151 across the country to receive this
honor. The City has also been recognized by Money Magazine as one of the top 20 places to live in the
nation.
Future
The City Council and management team want to keep the items below on its radar.
• City Council has expressed a desire to continually reduce the property tax rate.
• CDC will continue to provide for Five Star maintenance.
2 of 74 152
• Fire station #4 in Austin Ranch, was completed and staffed in 2019. Design is expected to be
finished this year for fire station #5 in the Tribute. The Two TIFs will provide a significant
amount of funding for each of the stations, but the City will be responsible for the apparatus,
equipment, and personnel costs at both stations.
• There are many drainage issues throughout the City. The drainage fee on the utility bills was
increased in 2020 to help cover drainage projects.
Strategic Plans
The budget process provides a road map for short-term and long-term needs and aids in the allocation of
limited resources to prioritized services and needs. Each year a Capital Improvement Program is
developed which helps gauge future funding priorities and is the foundation on which annual budgets are
built. Capital needs are projected for each of the five following years to identify service needs and
financing available. Staff helps Council with the challenge of prioritizing and providing efficient and
effective services to the community with current and future available funds.
As a combined effort, the City Manager’s Office, Finance Director, and all departments monitor revenues
and expenditures throughout the year. Appropriate actions are taken to control expenditures, and to
make adjustments when revenues fall short of expectations.
Conclusions
The 2021-2022 budget has been prepared with the assistance of devoted and dedicated employees who
stand ready to accomplish the goals outlined and adopted by the City Council. Under the prudent
leadership of the City Council, we commit our best efforts to ensure that the needs of our citizens are met
and exceeded!

I. PURPOSE
The Debt Management Policies set forth comprehensive guidelines for the financing of
capital expenditures. It is the objective of the policies that:
1. The City obtains financing only when necessary.
2. The process for identifying the timing and amount of debt or other financing
is as efficient as possible.
3. The most favorable interest rates and lowest costs of issuance are obtained.
4. The City strives to maintain flexibility for future debt issuances.
II. RESPONSIBILITY
The primary responsibility for developing financing recommendations rests with the City
Manager. In developing the recommendations, the City Manager shall be assisted by
the Assistant City Manager and the Finance Director and their responsibilities shall be to:
1. Meet periodically to consider the need for financing and assess progress on
the Capital Improvement Program.
2. Meet as necessary in preparation for financing.
3. Review changes in state and federal legislation.
4. Review annually the provisions of ordinances authorizing issuance of
obligations.
5. Annually review services provided by the Financial Advisor, Bond Counsel,
Paying Agent and other service providers to evaluate the extent and
effectiveness of services provided.
Every February, under the direction of the Assistant City Manager, Departments will
submit Capital Projects for the Capital Improvement Program. The report shall be
prepared by the Finance Director and be based in part on information from the
department directors in the City and shall include a projection of near term financing
needs compared to available resources, an analysis of the impact of contemplated
financings on the property tax rate and user charges, and a financing recommendation.
In developing financing recommendations, city management shall consider the
following:
1. The amount of time proceeds of obligations are expected to remain on hand
and the related carrying cost.
2. The options for interim financing including short term and interfund borrowing,
taking into consideration federal and state reimbursement regulations.
3. The effect of proposed action on the tax rate and user charges.
4. Trends in interest rates.
5. Other factors as appropriate.
37 of 74 187
A. Bond Counsel Involvement
The Bond Counsel will issue an opinion as to the legality and tax-exempt status of
any obligations. The City will also seek the advice of Bond Counsel on all other
types of financings and on any other questions involving federal tax or arbitrage
law.
The Bond Counsel is also responsible for the preparation of the ordinance
authorizing issuance of obligations, and all of the closing documents to complete
their sale and delivery, and will perform other services as defined by the contract
approved by the City Council.
B. Financial Advisor Involvement
The City will seek the advice of the Financial Advisor when necessary. The
Financial Advisor will advise on the structuring of obligations to be issued, informs
the City of various options, advise the City as to how choices will impact the
marketability of City obligations and will provide other services as defined by
contract approved by the City Council. Financial Advisor will be able to bid on
any City competitive debt issues if approval is given by the City. The Financial
Advisor will inform the City Manager of significant issues.
III. SHORT TERM DEBT
A. General
When appropriate, the city may consider short-term obligations. Some forms of
short-term obligations can be obtained quicker than long-term obligations and
thus can be used in emergencies until long-term financing can be obtained. In
some cases when the amount of financing required in the immediate future is
relatively small, it may be cheaper for the City to issue a small amount of short-
term obligations to provide for its immediate needs, than to issue a larger amount
of long-term obligations to provide financing for both immediate, and future
needs when the carrying costs of issuing obligations, which are not immediately
needed are taken into account.
The amount of short-term obligations due to mature in a year shall not exceed 5%
of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding long-term debt.
IV. LONG TERM DEBT
A. General
Long-term obligations will not be used for operating purposes, and the life of the
obligations will not exceed the useful life of the projects financed.
38 of 74 188
A resolution of intent to issue bonds or other debt obligations authorizing staff to
proceed with preparations shall be presented for the consideration of the City
Council when capital projects are identified. This provision may be waived in the
event of emergencies or other good cause.
Debt service structure will approximate level debt service unless operational
matters dictate otherwise.
The cost of issuance of private activity bonds is usually higher than for
governmental purpose bonds. Consequently, private activity bonds will be issued
only when they will economically benefit the City.
The cost of taxable debt is higher than the cost of tax-exempt debt. However, the
issuance of taxable debt is mandated in some circumstances, and may allow
valuable flexibility in subsequent contracts with users or managers of the
improvement constructed with the bond proceeds. Therefore, the City will usually
issue obligations tax-exempt, but may occasionally issue taxable obligations.
B. Bonds
Long-term general obligation or revenue bonds may be issued to finance
significant capital improvements. If required by state law or charter, an election
will be held to authorize such obligations.
Bonds will have a maximum repayment term of 25 years or less. When
cost/beneficial, and when permitted under applicable ordinances, the City may
consider the use of surety bonds, lines of credit, or similar instruments to satisfy
reserve requirements.
C. Certificates of Obligation
Certificates of Obligation may be issued to finance permanent improvements,
land acquisition, and other public purposes. The life of certificates of obligation
issued to finance equipment shall match to the extent possible the useful life of
the equipment, which is usually three to five years.
Certificate of Obligations will be secured by a tax pledge and/or a revenue
pledge, as required by law and as determined to be in the best interest of the City.
Some revenues are restricted as to the uses for which they may be pledged.
Water and wastewater revenues may be pledged without limit.
D. Public Property Finance Contractual Obligation
Public property finance contractual obligations may be issued to finance the
acquisition of personal property. The life of the contractual obligations issued to
finance personal property shall match the useful life of the personal property.
39 of 74 189
E. Anticipation Notes
Anticipation Notes may be used to finance projects or acquisition that could also
be financed with Certificates of Obligation.
Anticipation Notes may be secured and repaid by a pledge of revenue, taxes, a
combination of revenue and taxes or the proceeds of a future debt issue.
Anticipation Notes are authorized by an ordinance adopted by the City.
Anticipation Notes have several restrictions, which include:
1. Anticipation Notes issued for general purposes must mature before the
seventh anniversary of the date the Attorney General approves the
issue.
2. A governing body may not issue Anticipation Notes that are payable
from bond proceeds unless the proposition authorizing the issuance of
the bonds has already been approved by the voters and the
proposition states that anticipation notes may be issued.
F. Negotiated versus Competitive Sale versus Private Placement
When feasible and economical, obligations shall be issued by competitive sale
rather than negotiated sale. A sale may be negotiated when the issue is
predominantly a refunding issue or in other non-routine situations, which require
more flexibility than a competitive sale allows. In addition, market volatility may
necessitate a negotiated sale. Whenever the option exists to offer an issue either
for competitive sale or for negotiated sale, analysis of the options shall be
performed to aid in the decision making process. When a sale is not competitively
bid, the City will participate with the Financial Advisor in the selection of the
underwriter or direct purchaser.
The criteria used to select a winning bidder in a competitive sale shall be the true
interest cost. In a negotiated sale, the underwriter may be selected through a
request for proposals (RFP). The criteria used to select an underwriter in a
negotiated sale should include the following:
1. Overall experience
2. Marketing philosophy
3. Capability
4. Previous experience with the City as managing or co-managing
underwriter
5. Financial Statement
6. Public Finance team and resources
7. Breakdown of underwriter’s discount
a. Management fee – compensation to the underwriter for their
work in structuring the issue.
b. Underwriting fee – compensation to the underwriter for using their
capital to underwrite the bonds.
40 of 74 190
c. Average takedown – the portion of the underwriter’s discount
used to pay the sales force.
d. Expenses – administrative costs such as underwriter’s counsel and
administrative fees.
In a negotiated underwriting, the sale will be, to the extent appropriate,
negotiated with a consortium of underwriting firms, to preserve some of the
benefits of competition.
When cost/beneficial, the City may privately place its debt. Since no underwriter
participates in a private placement, it may result in lower cost of issuance. Private
placement is sometimes an option for small issues. The opportunity may be
identified by the Financial Advisor.
G. Bidding Parameters
The notice of sale will be carefully constructed to ensure the best possible bid for
the City, in light of existing market conditions and other prevailing factors.
Parameters to be examined include:
1. Limits between lowest and highest coupons
2. Coupon requirements relative to the yield curve
3. Method of underwriter compensation, discount or
premium coupons
4. Use of true interest cost (TIC) versus net interest cost (NIC)
5. Use of bond insurance
6. Deep discount bonds
7. Variable rate bonds
8. Call provisions
H. Bond Elections
Before a bond election, the City Manager and City Councilmembers will be
provided with competent debt capacity analyses, tax and user fee impact
projections and other information as directed by the City Manager’s Office. The
Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor will provide support during the process.
V. REFUNDING
The City shall consider refunding debt whenever an analysis indicates the potential for
present value savings or the city’s needs to restructure its debt payments.
As a general rule, private activity bonds may be refunded in a current refunding only.
41 of 74 191
VI. CAPITAL LEASING
Capital leasing is an option for the acquisition of a piece or package of equipment
costing less than $1,000,000.
Leasing shall not be considered when funds are on hand for the acquisition unless the
interest expense associated with the lease is less than the interest that can be earned by
investing the funds on hand or when other factors such as budget constraints or vendor
responsiveness override the economic consideration.
Whenever a lease is arranged with a private sector entity, a tax-exempt rate shall be
sought. Whenever a lease is arranged with a government or other tax-exempt entity, the
City shall strive to obtain an explicitly defined taxable rate so that the lease will not be
counted in the City’s total annual borrowings subject to arbitrage rebate.
The lease agreements shall permit the City to refinance the lease at no more than
reasonable cost should the City decide to do so. A lease, which can be called at will, is
preferable to one, which can merely be accelerated.
Since the market for lease financings is relatively inefficient, the interest rates available at
any one time may vary widely. Therefore, the City shall attempt to obtain at least three
competitive proposals for any major lease financing. The net present value of
competitive bids shall be compared; taking into account whether payments are in
advance or in arrears, and how frequently, payments are made. The purchase price of
equipment shall be competitively bid as well as the financing cost.
The advice of the City’s Bond Counsel shall be sought in any leasing arrangement and
when federal tax forms 8038 are prepared to ensure that all federal tax laws are obeyed.
The City may consider issuing certificates of participation to finance a very large project.
Care should be taken because financing costs may be greater than for other types of
financing. When possible, the lease agreement will be backed with a tax pledge.
If the City is obligated to make payment, more than a year in the future then the
agreement will probably be considered debt by the State. However, if the payments are
subject to annual appropriation by the City Council, then they may not.
VII. OTHER TYPES OF FINANCING
From time to time, other types of financing may become available. Examples of these
options are debt pools with other entities and low-interest loans from State Agencies such
as the Texas Water Development Board. The Finance Director will prepare a written
analysis of an option, with the advice of the City’s Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor.
VIII. RATIOS AND RESERVES
The portion of the City’s property tax levied for debt service shall not exceed 40% of the
total tax rate levied each year even though the Texas Attorney General’s Office, in its
42 of 74 192
review of bonds or other obligations secured by Ad Valorem Taxes, generally imposes a
limit of $1.50 for debt service for cities with a $2.50 maximum tax rate. However, the City
is obligated to levy an Ad Valorem Tax sufficient to provide for the timely payments of its
debt obligations secured by Ad Valorem Taxes.
The City will maintain net revenues equaling to at least 1.10 times the maximum annual
principal and interest requirement and 1.25 times the average annual principal and
interest requirements of all parity bonds outstanding in the Water and Wastewater Fund.
For water and sewer, and other types of revenue bonds, the bond documents will
designate the reserve fund amount if a reserve fund is to be established.
When revenue supported debt is issued, a debt service reserve or similar alternative may
be established. The requirements for and source of the reserve will be determined on a
case-by-case basis.
IX. OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The Official Statement is the disclosure document prepared by or on behalf of the City
for an offering of securities.
A. Responsibility
The preparation of the Official Statement is the responsibility of the Finance
Director with the help of the Financial Advisor. Information for the Official
Statement is gathered from departments/divisions throughout the City.
B. Timing
The Finance Director will begin assembling the information needed to update the
Official Statement before the offering of debt. Audited financial statement
information is expected in March. As soon as it is available, audited financial
statement information and capital budget information will be incorporated.
If the next anticipated bond sale is expected to be more than twelve months after
fiscal year end, then the prior year’s audited financial statement information may
be updated using unaudited figures.
The Financial Advisor shall begin preparing the Official Statement at least eight
weeks prior to an anticipated bond issuance. Subsequent timing will generally be
as follows:
1. The first draft of the preliminary Official Statement takes approximately
2 weeks to create.
2. Copies of the first draft are provided to the City’s Bond Counsel and City
Staff, who will review it for 2 weeks. In the case of a negotiated sale, the
underwriter’s counsel will also be asked for comments.
43 of 74 193
3. Comments from reviewers should be submitted during the two-week
review period. About 1 week will be required to make the requested
changes. After they have been made, the Official Statement is either
sent to print or subjected to a second review.
4. During the printing process or the second review, a copy of the draft
Official Statement is sent to the rating agencies for their review.
5. The preliminary Official Statement should be completed and mailed or
electronically distributed to underwriters 2 weeks prior to the bond sale
date. The preliminary document will be titled “preliminary” with red
printed disclosure language and will be called a “red herring”.
6. After interest rates have been accepted by the City Council, the final
Official Statement must be prepared and distributed to the underwriter
within seven business days of the date of sale.
C. Auditor’s Involvement
The City will include a review of its Official Statement in the contract for services
with its external auditor if required.
D. Printing
The Financial Advisor may print the Official Statement for the City.
X. RATINGS
The City’s goal is to maintain or improve its bond ratings. To that end, prudent financial
management policies will be adhered to in all areas.
Full disclosure of operations will be made to the bond rating agencies. The City staff, with
the assistance of the Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel, will prepare the necessary
materials for presentation to the rating agencies.
The City may choose to use Fitch Ratings, Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. The City shall
maintain a line of communications with those rating agencies (Moody’s, Standard and
Poor’s, or Fitch), informing them of major financial events in the City as they occur. The
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report shall be distributed to the rating agencies after
it has been accepted by the City Council.
The rating agencies will also be notified either by telephone or through written
correspondence when the City begins preparation for a debt issuance. After the initial
contact, a formal ratings application will be prepared and sent along with the draft of
the Official Statement relating to the bond sale to the rating agencies. This application
and related documentation should be sent several weeks prior to the bond sale to give
the rating agencies sufficient time to perform their review.
44 of 74 194
A personal meeting with representatives of the rating agencies will be scheduled every
few years or whenever a major project is initiated.
XI. CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS
Credit enhancements are mechanisms that guarantee principal and interest payments.
They include bond insurance and a line or letter of credit. Credit enhancement will
usually bring a lower interest rate on debt and a higher rating from the rating agencies,
thus lowering overall costs.
During debt issuance planning, the Financial Advisor will advise the City whether or not a
credit enhancement is cost effective under the circumstances and what type of credit
enhancement, if any, should be purchased. In a negotiated sale, bids will be taken
during the period prior to the pricing of the sale. In a competitive sale, the bidder may
purchase bond insurance if the issue qualifies for bond insurance.
XII. SECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE
SEC 15c2-12 regulations became effective July 3, 1995. The new regulation requires
municipal debt issuers to provide specified financial and operating information for fiscal
years beginning on January 1, 1996, or later. The information provided should mirror the
information provided in an official statement at the time of a primary offering.
The annual financial information is to be sent to all Nationally Recognized Municipal
Information Depositories (NRMSIRs) designated by the SEC. Additionally, issuers must
notify the State Information Depositories (SIDs) if one exists.
In addition to the financial and operating information, any material event must be
provided to all NRMSIRs, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and to the state
SID’s. Municipal debt issuers will be obligated to provide ongoing disclosure on the status
of the following material events:
1. Principal and interest payment delinquencies
2. Non-payment-related defaults
3. Unscheduled draws on reserves
4. Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements
5. Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or the failure to perform
6. Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the
security
7. Modifications to rights of security holders
8. Bond calls
9. Defeasances
10. Matters affecting collateral
11. Rating changes
The Finance Director will be designated “Compliance Officer” for disclosure
requirements. Levels of reporting will include:
45 of 74 195
1. Notification by certified mail to NRMSIRs, and SID’s of material events, with
copies to the City Council
2. Copies of CAFR and updated tables from the Official Statement to NRMSIRs
and SIDs within six months of fiscal year end.
XIII. ARBITRAGE LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
It is the City’s policy to minimize the cost of arbitrage rebate and yield restrictions while
strictly complying with the law.
A. General
Federal arbitrage legislation is intended to discourage entities from issuing tax-
exempt obligations unnecessarily. In compliance with the spirit of this legislation,
the City will not issue obligations except for identifiable projects with very good
prospects of timely initiation. Obligations will be issued as closely in time as feasible
to the time contracts are expected to be awarded so that they will be spent
quickly.
B. Responsibility
Because of the complexity of arbitrage rebate regulations and the severity of non-
compliance penalties, the advice of Bond Counsel and other qualified experts will
be sought whenever questions about arbitrage rebate regulations arise. The City
contracts outside consultants for arbitrage rebate services.
The Accounting Manager will be responsible for identifying the amount of unspent
debt proceeds including interest which is on hand and will be responsible for
ensuring that, to the extent feasible, the oldest proceeds on hand are spent first.
The consultants will maintain a system for computing and tracking the arbitrage
rebate liability. The consultants will notify the City within 60 days of year-end of the
amount of accrued liability. The consultants will also be responsible for notifying
the City two months in advance of when a rebate of excess arbitrage earnings is
due to the Internal Revenue Service.
The City’s Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor may be requested to review in
advance any arbitrage rebate payments and forms sent to the Internal Revenue
Service.
The expenditure of obligation proceeds will be tracked in the financial accounting
system by type of issue. Investments will be pooled for financial accounting
purposes and may, at the discretion of the Finance Director, be pooled for
investment purposes. When investments of bond proceeds are co-mingled with
other investments, the City shall adhere to the Internal Revenue Service rules on
accounting allocations.
46 of 74 196
Arbitrage rebate costs shall be charged as negative interest revenue to the funds
in which the related obligation proceeds were originally deposited.
C. Internal Interim Financing
In order to defer the issuance of obligations, when sufficient non-restricted reserve
funds are on hand, consideration shall be given to appropriating them to provide
interim financing for large construction contracts or parts of contracts. When the
appropriations are subsequently re-financed with proceeds of obligations or other
resources, the non-restricted reserve funds shall be repaid.
When expenditures are reimbursed from debt issuances, applicable state law and
the Internal Revenue Service rules on reimbursements will be complied with so that
the reimbursements may be considered expenditures for arbitrage purposes.
Requirements are in general:
1. The City shall declare its intention to reimburse expenditure with debt
proceeds before paying the expenditure, and will exclude cost of
issuance.
2. Reimbursement bonds must be issued and the reimbursement made
within eighteen months after the expenditure was made or the property
financed by the expenditure was placed in service, whichever is later.
3. The expenditure to be reimbursed must be a capital expenditure.
D. Spend-Out Exceptions For Federal Rebate
Ar bitrage rebate regulations provide certain spending exceptions to the
imposition of Federal rebate obligations. One such safe harbor applies to
obligations issued for construction if certain rules are adhered to and the proceeds
are spent within two years. Other such exceptions apply to expenditures of
proceeds within 6 months or eighteen months. These options should be
considered when circumstances indicate the City will with certainty be successful
in achieving a spend-out goal. Such circumstances may include, but are not
limited to the following:
1. Obligations are issued to finance a variety of small construction projects,
not large projects that might be unexpectedly delayed after the
issuance. In addition, project management understands the
requirements and is firmly committed to achieving the spend-out goal.
2. Obligations are issued for a single, large high priority project with a
relatively short construction period and there is a high level of
commitment to speedy completion.
When the two-year spend-out option is elected, debt will be issued for an
estimated one year of expenditures to provide for unexpected delays of up to a
year without incurring penalties.
47 of 74 197
The exercise of the spend-out options will always be coordinated with Bond
Counsel and the Financial Advisor. The city shall coordinate with Bond Counsel
and the Financial Advisor regarding the proper elections to be made in
connection therewith.
XIV. MODIFICATIONS TO POLICIES
Management staff will review these policies annually and significant changes may be
made with the approval of the City Manager. Significant policy changes will be
presented to the City Council for confirmation.

I. PURPOSE STATEMENT
These policies are developed by the City Manager to guide the Finance Director, and staff
in financial matters. The overriding goal of the Financial Management Policies is to enable
the City to achieve a long-term stable and positive financial condition while conducting
its operations consistent with the council-manager form of government established in the
City Charter. The watchwords of the City’s financial management include integrity,
prudent stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure.
The purpose of the Financial Management Policies is to provide guidelines for the financial
management staff in planning and directing the City’s day-to-day financial affairs and in
developing recommendations to the City Manager.
The scope of the policies spans accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal controls,
operating and capital budgeting, revenue management, cash management,
expenditure control, and debt management.
II. ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. ACCOUNTING – The City’s Assistant Finance Director is responsible for establishing
the chart of accounts, and for properly recording financial transactions.
B. FUNDS - Self-balancing groups of accounts are used to account for City financial
transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Each
fund is created for a specific purpose except for the General Fund, which is used to
account for all transactions not accounted for in other funds. Funds are created
and fund names are changed by City Council approval through resolution either
during the year or in the City Council’s approval of the annual operating budget
ordinances.
C. EXTERNAL AUDITING – The City will be audited annually by outside independent
auditors. The auditors must be a CPA firm capable to demonstrate that they have
the breadth and depth of staff to conduct the City’s audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, generally accepted government auditing
standards, and contractual requirements. The auditors’ report on the City’s
financial statements including federal grants single audit when required, will be
completed within 120 days of the City’s fiscal year end, and the auditors’
management letter will be presented to the City staff within 150 days after the City’s
fiscal year end. An interim management letter will be issued prior to this date if any
materially significant internal control weaknesses are discovered. The City staff and
auditors will jointly review the management letter with the City Council within 60
days of its receipt by the staff.
D. EXTERNAL AUDITORS RESPONSIBLE TO CITY COUNCIL – The external auditors are
accountable to the City Council and will have access to direct communication
with the City Council if the City staff is unresponsive to auditor recommendations or
if the auditors consider such communication necessary to fulfill their legal and
professional responsibilities.
53 of 74 203
The City Council may conduct closed session annually with the auditors present
without the presence of City staff. Such meeting shall be conducted in
accordance with the Open Meetings Act.
E. EXTERNAL AUDITOR ROTATION – The City will not require external auditor rotation,
but will circulate requests for proposal for audit services periodically, normally at
five-year intervals.
F. EXTERNAL FINANCIAL REPORTING – The City will prepare and publish a
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The CAFR will be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and will be presented
annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for evaluation
and awarding of the Certification of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting. The CAFR will be published and presented to the City Council within 120
days after the end of the fiscal year. City staffing limitations may preclude such
timely reporting. In such case, the Finance Director will inform the City Manager
and the City Manager will inform the City Council of the delay and the reasons
therefore.
G. INTERNAL FINANCIAL REPORTING - The Finance Department will prepare internal
financial reports sufficient for management to plan, monitor, and control the City’s
financial affairs. Internal financial reporting objectives are addressed throughout
the policies.
III. INTERNAL CONTROLS
A. WRITTEN PROCEDURES – The Finance Director is responsible for
developing citywide written guidelines on accounting, cash handling, and other
financial matters, which will be approved by the City Manager.
The Finance Department will assist department directors as needed in tailoring
these guidelines into detailed written procedures to fit each department’s
requirements.
B. DEPARTMENT MANAGERS RESPONSIBLE – Each department director is responsible
to the City Manager to ensure that good internal controls are followed throughout
his or her department, that all guidelines on accounting and internal controls are
implemented, and that all independent auditor internal control recommendations
are addressed.
IV. OPERATING BUDGET
A. PREPARATION – The City’s “Operating Budget” is the City’s annual financial
operating plan. It consists of governmental and proprietary funds, including the
general obligation and revenue supported Debt Service Funds, but excluding
Capital Projects Funds. The budget is prepared by the Finance Department with
the cooperation of all City departments, and is submitted to the City Manager who
makes any necessary changes and transmits the document to the City Council.
54 of 74 204
The preliminary budget should be filed with the City Secretary’s office on or before
July 31st each fiscal year, and presented to the City Council. Thereafter, the final
budget should be enacted by the City Council prior to fiscal year end. The
operating budget shall be submitted to the GFOA annually for evaluation and
awarding of the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation.
B. BALANCED BUDGET – The operating budgets will be balanced, with current
revenues, and prior year surpluses greater than or equal to current
expenditures/expenses except a rainy day fund reserve of sixty (60) days.
C. PLANNING – The budget process will be coordinated to identify major policy issues
for City Council’s consideration several months prior to the budget
approval date.
D. REPORTING – Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the department
directors to manage their budgets and to enable the Finance Department to
monitor and control the budget as authorized by the City Council. Summary
financial reports will be presented to the City Council each month within four weeks
after the month end. Such reports will include current year revenue and
expenditures in comparison to budget and prior year actual revenues and
expenditures.
E. CONTROL – Operating Expenditure Control is addressed in another section of the
Policies.
F. PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS – Where appropriate,
performance measures and productivity indicators will be used as guidelines and
reviewed for efficiency and effectiveness. This information will be included in the
annual budgeting process.
V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
A. PREPARATION – The City’s Capital Improvement Program will include all capital
projects. The Capital Improvement Plan will be prepared annually on a fiscal year
basis. The Capital Improvement Plan will be reviewed annually by the City Council.
The Capital Improvement Plan will be prepared by the Finance Department with
the involvement of all City departments.
B. CONTROL – All capital project expenditures must be approved by City Council. The
Finance Department must ensure the availability of resources before a capital
project contract is presented by the City Manager to the City Council for approval.
C. PROGRAM PLANNING – The Capital Improvement Plan will include capital
improvements program plans for future years. The planning time frame should
normally be at least five years. The replacement and maintenance for capital items
should also be projected for the next 5 years. Future maintenance and operations
will be fully costed, so that these costs can be considered in the operating budget.
55 of 74 205
D. ALTERNATE RESOURCES – Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, or other user-
based fees should be used to fund capital projects, which have a primary benefit
to certain property owners.
E. DEBT FINANCING – Recognizing that debt is usually a more expensive financing
method, alternative financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When
debt is issued, it will be used to acquire major assets with expected lives, which
equal or exceed the average life of the debt issued. The exceptions to this
requirement are the traditional costs of marketing and issuing the debt, capitalized
labor for design and construction of capital projects, and small component parts
which are attached to major equipment purchases.
F. STREET MAINTENANCE – The City recognizes that deferred street maintenance
increases future capital costs by an estimated 5 to 10 times. Therefore, a portion of
the General Fund Budget and/or debt issuances may be set aside each year to
maintain the quality of streets. The amount will be established annually so that
repairs will be made.
G. WATER/WASTEWATER MAIN REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT – The City recognizes
that deferred water/wastewater main rehabilitation and replacement increases
future costs due to loss of potable water from water mains and inflow and infiltration
into wastewater mains. Therefore, to ensure that the rehabilitation and
replacement program is adequately funded, the City may annually appropriate an
amount to provide for a water and wastewater main repair and replacement
program.
H. WATER AND WASTEWATER SPECIAL PROJECTS – A special fund will be maintained for
water and wastewater capital projects. The fund will be funded with operating
surpluses, interest earnings, and transfers from water and wastewater operations.
As soon as practicable, after each fiscal year end when annual operating results
are known, any Water/Wastewater Fund operating surplus in excess of budget
which is not required to meet ending resources requirements, may be transferred to
the Special Projects Fund with the approval of the City Council. The fund will be
used for funding water/wastewater main rehabilitation and replacement, for major
capital outlay, and for unplanned projects.
I. REPORTING – Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the department
managers to manage their capital budgets and to enable the Finance Department
to monitor the capital budget as authorized by the City Council.
VI. REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. SIMPLICITY – The City will strive to keep the revenue system simple, which will result
in a decrease of compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient and a
corresponding decrease in avoidance to pay. The City will avoid nuisance taxes,
fees, or charges as revenue sources.
B. CERTAINTY – An understanding of the revenue source increases the reliability of the
revenue system. The City will enact consistent collection policies for its revenues so
56 of 74 206
that assurances can be provided that the revenue base will materialize according
to budgets and plans.
C. EQUITY – The City will strive to maintain equity in the revenue system structure. That
is, the City will seek to minimize or eliminate all forms for subsidization between
entities, funds, services, utilities, and customers. However, it is recognized that public
policy decisions may lead to subsidies in certain circumstances, e.g., senior citizen
property tax exemptions or partial property tax abatement.
D. ADMINISTRATION – The benefits of revenue will exceed the cost of producing the
revenue. The cost of collection will be reviewed annually for cost effectiveness.
Where appropriate, the City will use the administrative processes of State or Federal
collection agencies in order to reduce administrative costs.
E. REVENUE ADEQUACY – The City will require that there be a balance in the revenue
system. That is, the revenue base will have the characteristic of fairness and
neutrality as it applies to cost of service, willingness to pay, and ability to pay.
F. COST/BENEFIT OF ABATEMENT – The City will use due caution in the analysis of any
tax, fee, or water and wastewater incentives that are used to encourage
development. Ideally, a cost/benefit (fiscal impact) analysis will be performed as
a part of such analysis.
G. DIVERSIFICATION AND STABILITY – In order to protect the government from
fluctuations in revenue source due to fluctuations in the economy, and variations in
weather, (in the case of water and wastewater), a diversified revenue system will
be maintained.
H. NON-RECURRING REVENUES – One-time revenues will not be used for ongoing
operations. Non-recurring revenues will be used only for non-recurring
expenditures. Care will be taken not to use these revenues for budget balancing
purposes.
I. PROPERTY TAX REVENUES – Property shall be assessed at 100% of the fair market
value as appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District. Reappraisal and
reassessment shall be done regularly as required by State law.
All delinquent taxes will be aggressively pursued, with delinquents greater than 150
days being turned over to the City Attorney or a private attorney, and a penalty
assessed to compensate the attorney as allowed by state law, and in accordance
with the attorney’s contract.
J. USER-BASED FEES – For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and
indirect costs of that service will be offset by a fee where possible. There will be a
periodic review of fees and charges to ensure that fees provide adequate
coverage of costs of services. User charges may be classified as “full cost recovery,”
“partial cost recovery,” and “minimal cost recovery,” based upon City Council
policy.
57 of 74 207
K. IMPACT FEES – Impact fees are currently imposed for water, wastewater, roadway,
and drainage in accordance with applicable city ordinances and State Law.
Impact fees will be re-evaluated at least every five years as required by law.
L. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES – A method will be maintained whereby
the General Fund can impose a charge to the enterprise funds or special revenue
funds for general and administrative services (indirect costs), performed on their
behalf. The details will be documented in the annual budget process in the form
of transfers between funds.
M. UTILITY RATES – The City will review utility rates periodically, and if necessary, adopt
new rates that will generate revenues required to fully cover operating
expenditures, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, provide
for an adequate level of working capital needs and debt service requirements. This
policy does not preclude drawing down cash balance to finance current
operations. However, it is best that any extra cash balance be used instead to
finance capital projects.
N. INTEREST INCOME – Interest earned from investment of available monies, whether
pooled or not, will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the average
monthly cash balances.
O. REVENUE MONITORING – Revenues actually received will be regularly compared to
budgeted revenues and variances will be investigated. This process will be
summarized in the appropriate budget report.
VII. EXPENDITURE CONTROL
A. APPROPRIATIONS – The level of budgetary control is the department level in the
General Fund, Parks Fund, and Utility Fund and the fund level in all other funds.
When budget adjustments (i.e., amendments) between departments and/or funds
are necessary, these must be approved by the City Council. Budget appropriation
amendments at lower levels of control shall be made in accordance with the
applicable administrative procedures.
B. CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT EXPENDITURES – The City Council must approve all
contingency account expenditures of $50,000 or more, as discussed under
Purchasing.
C. PURCHASING – All purchases shall be in accordance with the City’s Purchasing
Policies.
D. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES – Professional services will generally be processed through
a request for proposal process, except for smaller contracts. The City Manager may
execute any professional services contract for less than $50,000 provided there is
an appropriation for such contract.
E. PROMPT PAYMENT – All invoices will be paid within 30 days of receipt of goods and
services or receipt of invoices, whichever is later in accordance with the prompt
58 of 74 208
payment requirements of state law. Procedures will be used to take advantage of
all purchase discounts where considered cost effective. However, payments will
also be reasonably delayed in order to maximize the City’s investable cash, where
such delay does not violate the agreed upon payment terms.
F. EQUIPMENT FINANCING – Equipment may be financed when the useful life is at least
three years. Vehicles to be replaced are identified and evaluated every year
during the budget process. Depending on available resources, financing may be
made by debt issuance rather than from the General Fund and Utility Fund
accounts.
G. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – Certain information technology acquisitions will be
funded in the Information Technology Department’s budget or by debt issuance.
Acquisitions may include all related professional services costs for researching
and/or implementing an information technology project. Lease cost is also an
eligible expense.
VIII. ASSET MANAGEMENT
A. INVESTMENTS – The City’s investment practices will be conducted in accordance
with the City Council approved Investment Policies.
B. CASH MANAGEMENT – The City’s cash flow will be managed to maximize the cash
available to invest. A monthly report is provided by the Finance Director to the
Assistant City Manager for presentation to the City Council.
C. FIXED ASSETS AND INVENTORY – These assets will be reasonably safeguarded and
properly accounted for, and prudently insured.
IX. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESERVES
A. NO OPERATING DEFICITS – Current expenditures will be paid with current revenues
and prior year surplus. Deferrals, short-term loans, or one-time sources will be
avoided as budget balance techniques. Reserves will be used only for
emergencies or non-recurring expenditures, except when balances can be
reduced because their levels exceed guideline minimums.
B. INTERFUND LOANS - Non-routine interfund loans shall be made only in emergencies
where other temporary sources of working capital are not available and with the
approval of the City Council. At the time an interfund loan is considered, a plan to
repay it prior to fiscal year end shall also be considered.
A fund will only lend money that it will not need to spend in the immediate future.
A loan may be made from a fund only if the fund has ending resources in excess of
the minimum requirement for the fund. Total interfund loans outstanding from a
fund shall not exceed 15% of the target fund balance for the fund. If any interfund
loan is to be repaid from the proceeds of a future debt issue, a proper
reimbursement resolution will be approved at the time the loan is authorized.
59 of 74 209
C. OPERATING RESERVES – in accordance with GASB-54, it is the policy of the City of
The Colony to classify fund balances as Non-spendable, Restricted, Committed,
Assigned, or Unassigned and develop policy for establishment and activity of each
classification. Non-spendable fund balance is (a) not in a spendable form such as
prepaid items or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact as an
endowment. Restricted fund balance consists of amounts that can be spent only
on the specific purposes stipulated by law or by the external providers of those
resources. Committed fund balances are self-imposed limitations set in place prior
to the end of the fiscal year. These amounts can be used only for specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the City Council and require the same level of
formal action to remove the constraint. Assigned fund balance consists of amounts
that are subject to a purpose constraint that represents an intended use established
by the City Council. The purpose of the assignment must be narrower than the
purpose of the General Fund. Additionally, this category is used to reflect the
appropriation of a portion of existing fund balance to eliminate a projected deficit
in the subsequent year’s budget. Unassigned fund balance represents the residual
classification of fund balance and includes all spendable amounts not contained
within other classifications. Restricted, Committed, and Assigned fund balance
expenditures require prior Council approval.
(1) Policy on Committing Funds:
It is the policy of the City of The Colony that fund balance amounts will be
reported as “Committed Fund Balance” only after formal action and approval
by City Council. The action to constrain amounts in such a manner must occur
prior to year-end; however, the actual dollar amount may be determined in a
subsequent period. After approval by the City Council, the amount reported a
Committed Fund Balance cannot be reversed without Council approval.
(2) Policy of Assigning Funds:
Funds that are intended to be used for a specific purpose but have not received
the formal approval by Council may be recorded as Assigned Fund Balance. It
is the policy of the City of The Colony that fund balance amounts will be
reported as “Assigned Fund Balance” only after the City Manager has assigned
those amounts based on intentions for use of the City Council.
(3) Policy on Unassigned General, Parks, and Utility Fund balances:
It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an unassigned General Fund,
Parks Fund, and Utility Fund balance equal to 60 days of expenditures. The
required minimum fund balance of 60 days of expenditures is to provide working
capital needs in emergencies. The 60 days fund balance is considered as
committed fund balance in the General Fund and is approved by the City
Council via the resolution adopting this policy. To the extent reasonably
possible, in the event that the General fund balance is drawn down below the
target level, it will be replenished by the following fiscal year.
60 of 74 210
(4) Order of fund expenditure
When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure, the
City will first spend the most restricted category of funds. Normally, this will result
in the use of committed, then restricted, and lastly, unassigned fund balances.
Failure to meet these standards will be disclosed to the City Council as soon as the
situation is recognized and a plan to replenish the ending resources over a
reasonable time frame shall be adopted.
D. RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM – The City will aggressively pursue every opportunity
to provide for the public’s and City employees’ safety and to manage its risks.
D. LOSS FINANCING – All reasonable options will be investigated to finance losses.
Such options may include risk transfer, insurance, and risk retention.
E. ENTERPRISE FUND SELF-SUFFICIENCY – The City’s enterprise funds resources will be
sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditures. The enterprise funds will pay
(where applicable) their fair share of general and administrative expenses in lieu of
property taxes and/or franchise fees. If an enterprise fund is temporarily unable to
pay all expenses, then the City Council may waive general and administrative
expenses in lieu of property taxes and/or franchise fees until the fund is able to pay
them.
X. DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. GENERAL – The City’s borrowing practices will be conducted in accordance with
the City Council approved Debt Management Policies.
B. SELF-SUPPORTING DEBT - When appropriate, self-supporting revenues will pay debt
services in lieu of tax revenues.
C. ANALYSIS OF FINANCING ALTERNATIVES – The City will explore all financing
alternatives in addition to long-term debt including leasing, grants and other aid,
developer contributions, impact fees, and use of reserves or current monies.
D. VOTER AUTHORIZATION – The City shall obtain voter authorization before issuing
General Obligation Bonds as required by law. In general, voter authorization is not
required for the issuance of Revenue Bonds and Certificates of Obligation.
XI. STAFFING AND TRAINING
A. ADEQUATE STAFFING – Staffing levels will be adequate for the fiscal functions of
the City to function effectively. Workload shedding alternatives will be explored
before adding staff.
B. TRAINING - The City will support the continuing education efforts of all financial staff
including the investment in time and materials for maintaining a current perspective
concerning financial issues. Staff will be held accountable for communicating,
61 of 74 211
teaching, and sharing with other staff members all information and training
materials acquired from seminars, conferences, and related education efforts.
C. AWARDS, CREDENTIALS – The City will support efforts and involvements which result
in meeting standards and receiving exemplary recitations on behalf of any of the
City’s fiscal policies, practices, processes, products, and personnel. Staff
certifications may include Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management
Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, Certified Payroll Professional, Certified
Government Finance Officer, Professional Public Buyer, Certified Cash Manager,
and others as approved by the City Manager upon recommendation of the
Finance Director.
XII. GRANTS FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
A. GRANT SOLICITATION – The City will stay informed about available grants and will
apply for any, which would be cost/beneficial and meet the City’s objectives.
B. RESPONSIBILITY – Departments will oversee the day to day operations of grant
programs, will monitor performance and compliance, and will also keep Finance
Department contacts informed of significant grant-related plans and activities.
Departments will also report re-estimated annual grant revenues and expenses to
the Finance Department after the second quarter of each year. Finance
Department staff members will serve as liaisons with grantor financial management
personnel, and will keep the book of accounts for all grants.
XIII. ANNUAL REVIEW & REPORTING
A. These Policies will be reviewed administratively by the City Manager at least
annually, and will be presented to the City Council for confirmation of any
significant changes.
B. The Finance Director will report annually to the City Council on compliance with
these policies.

THE COLONY INVESTMENT POLICY
I. SCOPE OF POLICY
This Investment Policy shall govern the investment activities of all funds of the City of The Colony,
The Colony Economic Development Corporation, and The Colony Community Development
Corporation (collectively herein referred to as “THE COLONY”), excluding any specific funds cited
hereafter. This Policy serves to satisfy the state statutory requirement to define and adopt a formal
investment policy.
A. FUNDS INCLUDED:
All financial assets of all current funds of THE COLONY and any new funds created in the future,
unless specifically exempted, will be administered in accordance with this Policy. These funds are
accounted for in the City’s Annual Financial Report and may include: General Fund, Enterprise
Funds, Capital Project Funds, Special Revenue Funds, Trust and Agency Funds.
B. FUNDS EXCLUDED:
This Policy excludes Employee Retirement and Pension Funds administered or sponsored by THE
COLONY and excludes bond funds held in trust escrow accounts. THE COLONY will maintain
responsibility for these funds as required by Federal and State law and Charters and Codes.
C. POOLING OF FUNDS:
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, THE COLONY will consolidate cash
balances from all funds to optimize potential investment earnings. Investment income will be
allocated to the various funds based on their respective percentage participation and in
accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles.
D. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
In addition to this Policy, bond funds (to include capital project, debt service, and reserve funds)
will be managed by the governing debt ordinance and the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to the issuance of tax-exempt obligations and the investment of debt
proceeds.
II. PRUDENCE
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs,
not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of the capital as well as
the probable income to be derived. The standard of prudence to be used by Investment Officers
shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an
overall portfolio of funds, rather than a consideration as to the prudence of a single investment.
Investment Officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this Investment Policy and
exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s
credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a
timely fashion to the City Manager, and the City Council, and appropriate action is taken by the
66 of 74 216
Investment Officers and their oversight managers to control adverse developments in
accordance with the terms of this Policy.
III. OBJECTIVES OF POLICY
The primary objectives of THE COLONY’s investment program in order of priority shall be
preservation and safety of principal, liquidity, public trust, and yield.
A. SAFETY:
The foremost and primary objective of THE COLONY’s investment program is the preservation and
safety of capital. Each investment transaction will seek first to ensure that capital losses are
avoided, whether the loss occurs from the default of a security or from erosion of market value.
The objectives will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk. To control credit risk, investments
should be limited to the safest types of investments. Financial institutions, broker/dealers and
advisors who serve as intermediaries, shall be pre-qualified by THE COLONY. The credit ratings of
investment pools and individual securities will be monitored to assure compliance with this Policy
and State law.
To control interest rate risk, THE COLONY will structure the investment portfolio so that investments
mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations and will regularly monitor marketable
securities. Should an issuer experience a downgrade of its credit rating by a nationally recognized
credit rating agency below the required minimum rating, all prudent measures will be taken to
liquidate the investment.
B. LIQUIDITY:
THE COLONY’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable THE COLONY to meet
operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity will be achieved by
maintaining adequate cash equivalent balances, matching investment maturities with
forecasted cash flow funding requirements, and by diversifying maturities. Furthermore, since all
possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio, or portions thereof may be placed
in bank accounts, money market mutual funds or local government investment pools, which offer
same day liquidity.
C. PUBLIC TRUST/TRANSPARENCY:
Investment Officers shall seek to act responsibly as the custodians of public trust. Investment
Officers shall avoid any transaction that might impair public confidence in THE COLONY’s ability
to govern effectively. To increase public trust and transparency, the Investment Policy will limit
investments to those easily understood. Investments are limited to money market accounts of
the Depository Bank and local governmental investment pools, and certificates of deposit of up
to 1 year in maturity as described below in section V. Authorized Investments.
D. YIELD:
THE COLONY’s investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of regularly meeting or
exceeding the optimum rate of return of a reasonable benchmark considering the risk, liquidity,
and transparency constraints. Investment Officers will seek to preserve principal, maintain liquidity
levels needed, maintain as much transparency as possible and optimize the yield of these funds.
67 of 74 217
However, it is understood that if the yield achieved by THE COLONY is higher than the arbitrage
yield, positive arbitrage income will be rebated to the federal government as required by current
federal regulations.
IV. RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL
A. DELEGATION:
The Director of Finance has oversight management responsibility to establish written procedures
and controls for the operation of the investment program, consistent with this Investment Policy.
Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for the daily
cash management operation, execution of investment transactions, overall portfolio
management, and investment reporting. The Director of Finance shall be responsible for all
transactions undertaken, and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of the
Investment Officers.
B. INVESTMENT OFFICERS:
The Director of Finance and Assistant Finance Director are the “Investment Officers” of THE
COLONY. No person shall engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the
terms of this Policy and the procedures established by the Director of Finance.
C. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
Investment Officers and employees involved in the investment process will refrain from personal
business activity that could conflict with proper execution and management of the investment
program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from undertaking personal
investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of
THE COLONY.
D. DISCLOSURE:
Investment Officers shall disclose to the City Manager, City Council, Boards of Directors, and the
Texas Ethics Commission any financial interests in financial institutions or any relationship within the
second degree by affinity or consanguinity to an individual that conducts business with THE
COLONY. All Investment Officers shall further disclose any large personal financial investment
positions that could be related to the performance of THE COLONY’s portfolio. Investment
Officers shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of this jurisdiction,
particularly with regard to the timing of purchases and sales.
E. INVESTMENT TRAINING:
In order to ensure qualified and capable investment management, the Director of Finance, the
Assistant Finance Director, and any other Investment Officers shall have a finance, accounting,
or related degree and knowledge of treasury functions. Additionally, Investment Officers must
attend investment training not less than once in a two-year period that begins on the first day of
the fiscal year and consists of two consecutive fiscal years after that date and receive not less
than 10 hours of instruction relating to investment responsibilities. This investment training may be
from educational seminars held by Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA),
68 of 74 218
Government Treasurers Organization of Texas (GTOT), Government Finance Officers Association
of Texas (GFOAT), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), University of North
Texas (UNT), North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), and Texas Municipal
League (TML). All Investment Officers of THE COLONY shall attend at least one training session
relating to their cash management and investment responsibilities within 12 months after
assuming these duties for THE COLONY. Training must include education in investment controls,
security risks, strategy risks, market risks, and compliance with state investment statutes.
V. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
Funds of THE COLONY may be invested in the following investments, as authorized by Chapter
2256 of the Government Code of the State of Texas, known as the “Public Funds Investment Act”,
and as authorized by this Investment Policy. Investments not specifically listed below are not

Registry Service (CDARS) and meet the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act.
D. Insured Cash Shelter Accounts executed through a trustee bank that has its main office or
a branch office in this State.
Only those investments specifically listed in this Policy are authorized.
VI. INVESTMENT REPORTS
The Director of Finance shall submit quarterly an investment report in compliance with the Public
Funds Investment Act. This report will be prepared in a manner, which will allow THE COLONY to
ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the
Investment Policy. The report should be provided to the City Council, Boards of Directors, and the
City Manager. The reports shall be formally reviewed at least annually by an independent auditor
in conjunction with the annual audit. The result of the review shall be reported to the City Council
and Boards of Directors by that auditor. The quarterly investment report must be presented within
90 days of the end of the quarter reporting period.
The Director of Finance is responsible for the recording of investment transactions and the
maintenance of the investment records with reconciliation of the accounting records of
investments carried out by the Assistant Finance Director. Information to maintain the investment
69 of 74 219
program and the reporting requirements is derived from various sources such as broker/dealer
research reports, newspapers, financial on-line market quotes, communication with
broker/dealers, government investment pools, and financial consulting services.
VII. PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ASSET PARAMETERS
A. BIDDING PROCESS FOR INVESTMENTS:

financial institution deposit accounts either orally, in writing, electronically, or in any combination
of these methods. The Investment Officers will strive to create a competitive pricing environment
for all portfolio transactions.

COLONY will not directly invest in certificate of deposits maturing more than one year from the
date of purchase.
C. MAXIMUM DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY:
The maximum dollar-weighted average maturity based on the stated final maturity, authorized
by this Investment Policy for the composite portfolio of THE COLONY, shall be 9 months.
D. DIVERSIFICATION:
It is the Policy of THE COLONY to diversify its investment portfolios. Assets held in each investment
portfolio shall be diversified to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from concentration of assets in a
specific maturity or specific issuer.
In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general policies and constraints
shall apply:
1) CD maturities and shall be staggered in a way that protects interest income from the
volatility of interest rates and that avoids undue concentration of assets in a specific
maturity or Institution. Investments shall be selected which provide for stability of income
and adequate liquidity.
E. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the objectives specified within this
Policy.
70 of 74 220
VIII. SELECTION OF DEPOSITORY, BROKER/DEALERS, AND INVESTMENT ADVISORS
A. DEPOSITORY SOLICITATION PROCESS:
Primary depositories shall be selected through THE COLONY’s banking services procurement
process, which shall include a formal request for proposal (RFP) issued not less than every five
years. In selecting primary depositories, the credit worthiness of institutions shall be considered.
No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by state
depository laws.
THE COLONY may also establish agreements with other financial institutions under separate

City Council, including any renewals or extensions.
IX. COLLATERALIZATION
A. INSURANCE OR COLLATERAL PLEDGED:
Collateralization shall be required on depository bank deposits and certificates of deposit, in
accordance with the “Public Funds Collateral Act” and depository laws. With the exception of
deposits secured with irrevocable letters of credit at 100% of amount, the collateralization level
will not be less than 102% of market value of principal and accrued interest, less any FDIC
insurance. Evidence of the pledged collateral shall be documented by a tri-party custodial or a
master repurchase agreement with the eligible collateral pledged clearly listed in the
agreement. Collateral shall be monitored at least monthly to ensure that the market value of the
securities pledged equals or exceeds the related deposit or investment balance.
B. COLLATERAL DEFINED:
THE COLONY shall only accept, as depository or investment collateral, letters of credit issued by
the FHLB or investments stipulated by the Federal Treasury Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, Title 12 - Banks and Banking, Paragraph 9.11.
71 of 74 221
C. AUDIT OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL:
All collateral shall be subject to verification and audit by the Director of Finance.
X. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY OF INVESTMENT ASSETS
All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by THE
COLONY shall be conducted using the delivery vs. payment (DVP) basis. That is, funds shall not
be wired or paid until verification has been made that the correct security has been received by
the safekeeping bank. The safekeeping bank is responsible for matching up instructions from THE
COLONY’s Investment Officers on an investment settlement with what is wired from the
broker/dealer, prior to releasing THE COLONY’s designated funds for a given purchase. The
security shall be held in the name of THE COLONY or held on behalf of THE COLONY in a bank
nominee name. Securities will be held by a third party custodian designated by the Director of
Finance and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The safekeeping bank’s records shall assure the
notation of THE COLONY’s ownership of or explicit claim on the securities. The original copy of all
safekeeping receipts shall be delivered to THE COLONY. A safekeeping agreement must be in
place, which clearly defines the responsibilities of the safekeeping bank. Wires or ACH
transactions to and from government investment pools, financial institution deposits, and money
market mutual funds are the only exceptions to the DVP method of settlement.
XI. MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Director of Finance shall establish a system of internal controls which shall be designed to
prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third
parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees or
Investment Officers of THE COLONY.
Controls and managerial emphasis deemed most important that shall be employed where
practical are:
A. Control of collusion.
B. Separation of duties.
C. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping.
D. Custodian safekeeping receipts records management.
E. Avoidance of bearer-form securities.
F. Clear delegation of authority.
G. Documentation of investment bidding events.
H. Written confirmations from broker/dealers and financial institutions.
I. Reconcilements and comparisons of security receipts with the investment records.
72 of 74 222
J. Compliance with investment policies.
K. Accurate and timely investment reports as required by law and this Policy.
L. Validation of investment maturity decisions with supporting cash flow data.
M. Adequate training and development of Investment Officers.
N. Verification of all investment income and security purchase and sell computations.
O. Review of financial condition of all broker/dealers, and depository institutions.
P. Information about market conditions, changes, and trends that require adjustments in
investment strategies.
The above list of internal controls represents only a partial list of a system of internal controls. In
conjunction with the annual audit, a process of independent review by an external auditor shall
be established.
XII. INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
THE COLONY’s Investment Policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council and Boards
of Directors. The Policy and general investment strategy statements shall be reviewed on an
annual basis by the City Council and Boards of Directors, and any modifications made thereto
must be approved by them.
XIII. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Effective investment strategy development coordinates the primary objectives of THE COLONY’s
Investment Policy and cash management procedures. Cash management to increase the
available “investment period” will be employed when necessary to enhance the ability of THE
COLONY to earn interest income. Maturity selections shall be based on cash flow and market
conditions to take advantage of interest rate cycles. THE COLONY’s portfolio shall be designed
and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust and consistent with the Investment
Policy.
Each major fund type has varying cash flow requirements and liquidity needs. Therefore specific
strategies shall be implemented considering the Fund’s unique requirements. THE COLONY funds
shall be analyzed and invested according to the following major fund types:
A. Operating Fund
B. Capital Project Funds and Special Purpose Funds
C. Debt Service Funds
D. Bond Reserve Funds
73 of 74 223
OVERALL STRATEGY:
THE COLONY’s basic investment strategy is to utilize investment options that represent suitable
risk/return alternatives for excess operating reserves which are easily understood by the public.
Therefore, investment of excess operating funds shall seek to preserve principal and promote
transparency by restricting authorized investment instruments to those investments which are
easily understood with suitable and limited credit and market risk.
Liquidity will be maintained by utilizing projected cash flow needs to limit investment maturities
and targeting minimum cash balances. Investment marketability will be maintained based on
the fund-type strategies to sufficiently and reasonably assure that investments could be
liquidated prior to the maturity, if cash needs dictate.
THE COLONY shall also diversify its investment portfolio. Whenever practical, assets held in the
investment portfolio shall minimize the risk of loss resulting from concentration of assets in a specific
maturity or specific issuer. THE COLONY will group investment instruments into “fund-type
investment groups.” These groups will reflect similar needs as to maturity limits, diversity, and
liquidity.
THE COLONY funds shall seek to achieve a competitive yield appropriate for each strategy. Yield
objectives shall at all times be subordinate to the objectives of safety, liquidity and transparency.
Tax-exempt debt proceeds shall be invested to optimize the interest earnings retained by THE
COLONY, while at the same time fully complying with all applicable State laws and federal
regulations, including the arbitrage rebate regulations.
A. OPERATING FUNDS:
Operating Funds shall have as their primary objective to assure safety of principal. The secondary
objective is to assure that anticipated cash outflows are matched with adequate investment
liquidity. The secondary objective is to create a portfolio structure, which will experience minimal
volatility during changing economic cycles. Objectives may be accomplished by investing in
money market accounts of the depository bank or government investment pools or bank
certificates of deposits.
