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:
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 November 5, 2024 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
November 5, 2024. 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.
19
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 2020 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
20
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 a flat rate of $78. Election judges
and clerks that elect to complete online training shall be compensated at a rate of a flat $50. In
the event that an 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
Presiding Judge 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.

hour)
Election Day – Presiding Judge ($19.56/hour), Alternate Judge ($18.25/ hour), Clerk ($16.95/

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

clerks to assist in the conduct of early voting as necessary, and that these additional deputy early
voting clerks shall be compensated at an hourly rate set by Denton County pursuant to Section

the Denton County Elections Administrator or any participating authorities shall serve in that
capacity without additional compensation.

personal appearance at any one of the joint early voting locations. All requests for temporary
branch polling places will be considered and determined based on the availability of the 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
who 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 times the staff’s hourly rate (See Sections XV #10). The Election
Administrator has the right to waive these costs as they see fit.

Texas Election Code.
The 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.
26

by Personal Appearance locations as provided by the Texas Election Code, that entity agrees to
pay the entire cost for that request.

SUBJECT:SUP24-0002: 5000 Main Street Suite 100C- The Dog Stop
Conduct a public hearing, discuss and consider an ordinance regarding the approval of a Specific
Use Permit (SUP) to allow an approximately 9,530 sq. ft. Kennel with outdoor runs known as “The
Dog Stop.” The subject site is located at 5000 Main Street Suite 100 C, within the Shopping Center
(SC) Zoning District and Gateway Overlay District.
OWNER/APPLICANT
Owner:Troy Dewan Addison, Texas
Applicant:Dennis Hill Celina, Texas
EXISTING CONDITION OF PROPERTY

[outdoor runs] states that breeding operations, animal transportation services, outdoor boarding and
commercial sale of domesticated animals may be included as part of an outdoor kennel facility.
This will not be permitted at The Dog Stop therefore will be excluded from the Specific Use Permit.
PRIOR ACTION

regarding the Specific Use Permit (SUP) of a Kennel with outdoor runs known as “The Dog Stop”

Staff Analysis
Land Use Analysis
The subject site is located within the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District. This establishment
will be considered a Kennel with outdoor runs. Kennels with outdoor runs requires a SUP in all
districts where it is not prohibited. Specific Use Permit approval is intended to offer further
evaluation of certain uses and the appropriateness of the operation of those uses within the context
of the surrounding area. Uses within the Shopping Center (SC) Zoning District typically include a
mix of retail, office and personal services. Nearby uses in the SC district include: a fitness center,
cat boarding facility, a home goods store and personal services [hair salon, nail salon, spa,].
The proposed Kennel is not explicitly consistent with nearby uses, however it is considered a
compatible land use in the context of the mixed of uses within the surrounding area.
The definitions for Indoor and Outdoor Kennels in The Colony Zoning Ordinance is as follows:
“Kennels, indoor/commercial pet sitting: An establishment with indoor pens in which more
than six adult dogs or domesticated animals are housed during the day or overnight,
groomed, boarded, exercised, trained, or sold for commercial purposes. Animal
transportation service may be provided. No outdoor runs or pens are allowed. This
definition excludes any breeding operation.
“Kennels, outdoor runs: An establishment that includes any outdoor areas for play,
exercise or ventilation in which more than six adult dogs or domesticated animals are
housed during the day or overnight, groomed, bred, boarded, exercised, trained, or sold
for commercial purposes. Breeding operations may be included as part of an outdoor
kennel facility. Animal transportation service may be provided.
The Dog Stop offers most of the services permitted for indoor Kennels, however the outdoor
activity area necessitates the “Outdoor” classification. The “outdoor” category also permits
breeding, sales and outdoor kennels. The applicant has indicated that The Dog Stop will provide
an outdoor area, but these operations will not contain breeding, animal sales or outdoor kennels.
As proposed the outdoor area is used only during the daytime for dogs to have an outside outlet
from approximately 8 am to 5-6 pm on average.
40
Specific Use Permit (SUP) Criteria

The Future Land Use Map identifies this area as “Mixed-use Center: Neighborhood
Shopping Destination” which shall include new development to expand the retail and
service offerings. The proposed land use is in conformance with The Colony

4.Safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the vicinity,
including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other
uses reasonable and anticipated in the area, existing zoning and land uses in the area;
The site layout and traffic circulation has been reviewed and approved by the City. The
site has an existing sidewalk the runs along the south wall of the building. The sidewalk
will remain, but will have to be accessed via gates from the fence being built around the
proposed outdoor area. This is not anticipated to effect circulation as the sidewalk leads
to the alley and there is a sidewalk along S. Colony Blvd for pedestrian use.
5.Protection of persons and property from erosion, flood, or water damage, fire, noise,
glare, air quality, generation of dust and odors, and similar hazards and impacts;
The Dog Stop will construct noise abatement panels mitigating any noise for the adjacent
neighbor.Additionally, The Dog Stop uses synthetic turf designed specifically for pet usage
over an air drain geo-cell system and uses enzymatic solutions to break down dog urine to
prevent odors.

sound and smell intended to increase compatibility and mitigate potential negative impacts
with the surrounding land uses within the vicinity.
9.Determination that any conditions applicable to approval are the minimum necessary
to minimize potentially unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same district and
surrounding area
Staff determined that exclusion of breeding operations, animal transportation services,
outdoor boarding and commercial sale of domesticated animals are special conditions that
will minimize potentially unfavorable impacts on nearby uses in the same district and
surrounding area.
10.Determination that the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto,
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
With the exclusions and conditions as reflected the proposed use is not anticipated to be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
Infrastructure Improvements
No specific public infrastructure improvements are planned for this area.

The Zoning Ordinance requires newspaper notification a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to the
City Council meeting. Notice for this SUP Public Hearing was published in The Dallas Morning
News on August 16, 2024. In addition, the Zoning Ordinance requires notification of property
owners located within 200 feet of the subject property. Public Hearing notices were mailed on
August 16, 2024 to adjacent property owners. No comments either for or against the SUP were
received as of printing of this packet.

Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, Zoning Ordinance and other applicable ordinances as outlined
in the Staff Report and recommends approval.

boarding, dog daycare, and training. The Dog Stop does not use outdoor kennels; the outdoor
area is used only during the daytime for dogs to have an outside outlet from approximately 8 am
to 5-6 pm on average.
This Specific Use Permit application seeks approval of indoor and outdoor use of the Premises to
be designated as “Kennels” as defined in The Colony, Texas Code of Ordinances, but excludinq
breeding. The outdoor use is depicted in the site plan as Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, which includes outdoor dog play areas adjacent to the building.
The Dog Stop does not request any changes to the existing site plan other than allowing the
outdoor areas as shown on Exhibit A; the existing boundaries, buildings, drainage, access,
parking lot, landscaping, lighting, traffic pattern, and other existing infrastructure shown on
Exhibit A will remain the same. The second page of Exhibit A shows a colored elevation of the
side outside area.
The Dog Stop will meet all signage requirements of The Colony to place signs on the building
façade and shopping center monument, consistent with previous signage of the previous tenant.
The proposed use is compatible with existing uses in the vicinity, which include businesses such
as a cat grooming and boarding facility, an animal hospital, Big Lots, and an aquarium business.
About The Dog Stop franchise:
The Dog Stop is a national franchise that strives to provide the best possible services for dog
families. A The Dog Stop franchise store is an all-inclusive one-stop shop for dog families
47

offering daycare, indoor boarding, grooming, retail products, in-home services and training. The
Dog Stop does NOT breed or self dogs and does not board dogs outdoors. The Dog Stop does
promote non-profit organizations related to dogs, such as those that assist animal shelters and
promote pet adoptions. The Dog Stop’s mission is to be the industry’s premier dog care provider,
while staying committed to our core values of unquestionable integrity, superior performance,
and dedicated support of their franchisee partners and the communities they serve.
The Dog Stop stores are proud of the care they provide dogs and are very transparent. We will
provide a tour of our store to anyone who drops in and we provide live camera feeds showing the
daycare areas. The reason we are so transparent is because we provide excellent care and are not
afraid to demonstrate that on a daily basis.
The Doq Stop concept:
The Dog Stop facilities are designed and constructed using the latest state-of-the-art materials
and methods to provide a clean and safe environment for the dogs entrusted to their care, and to
be good neighbors. The Dog Stop is committed to proactively limit unfavorable impacts on its
neighbors by addressing noise and odor concerns. Here are some of the ways that we meet these
goals:
Interior:
The Dog Stop franchise mandates daily cleaning and educates its franchisees on proper cleaning
agents and methods. The Dog Stop cleans every day, during all business hours using the best
cleaning methods and agents. Feces and urine are cleaned immediately, and each kennel is
thoroughly cleaned daily. Each daycare area is sprayed down with disinfectant and deodorizer,
and soaked for at least 10 minutes prior to being rinsed and wiped down.
The Dog Stop utilizes Gator Kennels, which are nonflammable, urine resistant, FDA approved
for use due to natural anti-microbial properties, does not contain silicone, does not contain lead
or other heavy metals, and are recyclable.
The Dog Stop requires Sherwin Williams Epoxy Flooring on the floors and up the walls by 4
inches to prevent bacteria. The epoxy is durable and sustainable, hygienic, easy to clean and
maintain, provides slip-resistance, and is chemical resistant.
The Dog Stop also utilizes state of the art HVAC ventilation systems, including Dedicated
Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS), which ensures that the air inside of the Premises is continually
replaced with fresh outside air. On average a The Dog Stop store will spend between $150,000 to
$250,000 for a high efficiency HVAC DOAS filtered system. We will ensure that the existing
HVAC system is upgraded to provide outside air circulation and filtering, to provide humidity
control and clean, fresh air inside to minimize any smell and air-born bacteria. Furthermore, The
Dog Stop utilizes large commercial fans that also helps circulate the air.
48
7
The Dog Stop requires the walls of the daycare and kennel areas to have fiber reinforced plastic
(FRP) on the walls. This is hygienic and easy to clean, moisture resistant (preventing mold and
mildew), and will not rust, corrode, scratch or shatter.
The Dog Stop utilizes the highest level of cleaning agents and supplies. We use Spartan animal
care supplies. Spartan is the world-wide standard in animal facilities, and are also the standard
for cleaning in all uses including hospitals, childcare facilities, grocery stores, and schools for
examples. The products used and cleaning processes are tightly managed by The Dog Stop’s
corporate support team and covered in franchisee training.
Pet waste is cleaned immediately. The daycare areas are supervised by staff at all times, and the
dog waste is cleaned immediately and mopped. Dog feces is bagged and placed in industrial
trash bags which are sealed prior to disposal.
The Dog Stop proactively avoids noise problems with its neighbors. The Dog Stop will assess
the construction of the demising wall between the Premises and the only adjacent neighbor,
which is Texas Family Fitness on the north side. The Dog Stop is committed to mitigating any
noise created by the dogs and will install noise abatement panels as needed to ensure the
Premises meets the noise standards for The Colony and Landlord. The nearest residential house
to the Premises is over five hundred feet away. The dogs usually do not stay outside for very
long because they like to be inside near their human attendant, and in the afternoon the dogs are
usually so tired from playing in the morning that their activity levels are very diminished; simply
put they mostly take naps in the afternoon because they have had so much fun in the morning.
The boarding dogs are fed and placed in their kennels in the early evening, usually from 5-7 pm.
The Dog Stop stores have online cameras that can be viewed to see the activity levels inside and
out and we encourage people to view them by going to www.thedogstop.com and selecting a
location and then accessing the dog cameras.
Exterior:
The Dog Stop uses synthetic turf designed specifically for pet usage over an air drain geocell
system and compacted aggregate to allow for drainage and airflow. In addition, The Dog Stop
sprays down the turf area daily and uses enzymatic solutions to break down dog urine.
The Dog Stop-The Colony will utilize 8-foot solid fencing to avoid escape incidents, and to
prevent the dogs from seeing outside of the pet relief area, which minimizes dog barking and
helps as a barrier to shield/muffle the noise.
The fencing material will be Masonry, Stone, Brick, Exposed Aggregate, or Stucco with
Masonry Columns. The fencing will be fade resistant and will not rot, warp, or decay, thereby
maintaining a long-lasting high-quality look. The outdoor relief areas will be accessed through
standard doors approximately 30 inches wide, thereby minimizing any inside noise transferring
to the outside.

Benefits to The Colony:
The Dog Stop will benefit The Colony and its residents by providing desirable goods and
services in the heart of the city. First, this store will help fill the great demand for dog daycare
and boarding in The Colony area. The demand for dog daycare and boarding is great and the
supply is not meeting the demand, resulting in residents utilizing services that may not be safe or
appropriate. The Colony is experiencing a lot of dog boarding activities in residential areas,
which is not always desirable for more than one or two dogs. Indeed, according to
CBSNewsTexas.com, in late 2023 The Colony police made arrests concerning animal cruelty in
a situation where a dog boarding business was being operated in residential homes with dogs
that appeared to be malnourished, with worms, parasites and Parvo. It was reported that two of
the dogs perished.
Second, this store will upgrade and utilize an existing building to add a new retail store to the
community, providing The Colony residents with additional options to purchase high-quality
retail dog related items locally, such as dog food, dog treats and dog toys. This is consistent with
The Colony’s comprehensive plan goal of redeveloping existing older shopping centers to create
walkable mixed-use centers.
The Dog Stop will substantially benefit the local economy. The store will employ about 20
people on an ongoing basis. Of course, the store will also increase The Colony’s tax base.
The Dog Stop will be a good neighbor by making sure it constructs leasehold improvements that
are high-quality and minimize the chances that other businesses or residences could be annoyed
by noise or odors.
Finally, The Dog Stop will be active in collaborating with local charities to promote dog
fostering and adoptions. Simply put, The Dog Stop will be a great addition to The Colony
community and is an appropriate use for this particular Premises.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA DATE:September 3, 2024
DEPARTMENT:Planning and Development Department
SUBJECT: PDA24-0002 –Water’s Edge – Planned Development Amendment
Conduct a public hearing discuss and consider an ordiance regarding amendments to Planned
Development 26 (PD-26) to reflect new development standards and amend the development plan
regarding single-family development of Lot 1R1, Block 16.
OWNER/APPLICANT
Owner: Blue Waters Edge
Homeowners Association, Inc. Dallas, TX
Applicant: London Ryon Dallas, TX
Sambatek, LLC
EXISTING CONDITION OF PROPERTY
Planned Development 26 commonly referred to as Waters Edge, is an approximately 27.5-acre
single-family zoning district bound by Lake Lewisville, Planned Development 1 (PD-1) and
Planned Development 2 (PD-2) and the Mobile Home (MH) Zoning District. The Planned
Development contains forty-three (43) single-family lots and a common area lot.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USES
North Planned Development 1 (PD-1) – Undeveloped single-family
South Planned Development 26 (PD-26) – Single family
East Planned Development 2 (PD-2) – Single-family
West Planned Development 2 (PD-2) – Single-family
BACKGROUND
Planned Development 26 (PD-26) was approved by the City Council in August of 2013. The
establishing planned development identified an area dedicated to Recreational Vehicle/Boat
Storage Common Area for usage by the residents of Waters Edge. To this point no use of the
common area for the original purpose has occurred and is no longer desired. The requested
change was initiated by the Homeowners Association to better accommodate the overall
development.
PROPOSED REQUEST
The proposed amendment reflects a change of land use on a common lot [Lot 1R1, Block 16]
from Recreational Vehicle/Boat Storage Common Area to single-family use. Lot 1R, will be
renamed to 1R1 upon plat approval; the replat is intended to reflect the single-family setbacks
established in accordance with this subject.
A companion replat RP24-0002 will reorient the front setback lines of Lot 1R1, Block 16 from
Haven Hills Drive to Waters Edge Court. Relocation of front setback lines toward Waters Edge
Court will address the home internally to the development.
53
NOTIFICATION
The Zoning Ordinance requires newspaper notification a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to
the City Council meeting for text amendments. Notice for this Public Hearing was published in
The Dallas Morning News on August 16, 2024. In addition, Zoning Ordinance also requires
notification of property owners located within 200 feet of the subject property a minimum of ten
(10) days prior to the public hearing. Public Hearing notices were mailed on August 16, 2024 to

Amendment were received as of printing of this packet.

INTRODUCTION
Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used in this "City of The Colony Public

Ordinance No. 2021-2430 adopted by the City Council on January 19, 2021. Unless otherwise
defined, all references to "Section" mean a section of this SAP Update, and all references to
"Exhibit" mean an exhibit to this SAP Update.
1.1 On October 8, 2012, the City Council of the City of The Colony, Texas (the "City Council"
and the "City") passed and approved Resolution No. 2012-073 creating The Colony Public
Improvement District No. 1 (the "District") pursuant to Chapter 372, Texas Local Government
Code, as amended (the "Act"). The District includes within its boundaries approximately 439.12
contiguous acres located within the corporate limits of the City south of and adjacent to the Sam
Rayburn Tollway (State Highway 121), north of and adjacent to Plano Parkway, and west of Spring
Creek Parkway which property is described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A and depicted on
Exhibit A-1 (the "Property").
1.2 The Act governs the process by which the Public Improvements Cost is allocated to and
assessed against the Property. This process requires the preparation of an ongoing service plan (a
"Service Plan"), an assessment plan (an "Assessment Plan"), and an assessment roll (an
"Assessment Roll").
1.3 The Act requires the preparation, and the presentment to, and review and approval by, the
City Council, of a Service Plan that must: (1) cover a period of at least five years; (2) define the
annual indebtedness and projected costs of the Public Improvements; and (3) include a copy of the

approval, a copy of the Service Plan must be filed with the County Clerk of Denton County, Texas,
the County in which all of the District is located, not later than the seventh (7th) day after the date
of such approval. The Service Plan is contained in Section 4.
1.4 The Act requires the Service Plan to include an Assessment Plan. The Assessment Plan
assesses the Public Improvements Cost against the Property on the basis of the special benefits
conferred upon the Property by the Public Improvements. The Public Improvements Cost may be
assessed in any manner that results in imposing equal shares of the cost on Parcels similarly
benefited. The special benefit of the Public Improvements is being apportioned by this Service
and Assessment Plan to the Property in the amount of the Public Improvements Cost. The

SECTION 2
2013 FACILITY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 The portion of the Property described as Grandscape Addition Lot 1/Block A consisting of
81.99 acres and identified as Denton Central Appraisal District ("Denton CAD") Tax Parcel No.
657618, and the portion of the Property described as Grandscape Additional Lot 2/Block A
consisting of 25.48 acres and identified by Denton CAD Tax Parcel No. 657619 (collectively, the
"Facility Property") is developed with a mixed-use facility which includes approximately
1,280,000 square feet for warehouse and distribution uses, approximately 25,000 square feet for a
regional corporate headquarters, approximately 546,000 square feet for retail sales to the general
public and surface and structured parking (collectively, the "Facility"). The development of the
Facility Property required construction of the 2013 Public Improvements that specially benefit the
Facility Property.
2.2.In connection with the 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds to finance a portion of the costs
of the 2013 Public Improvements, the City approved the Original Service and Assessment Plan for
the District by adopting the 2013 Assessment Ordinance on February 7, 2013. The 2013
Assessment Ordinance levied an Assessment in the amount of $83,400,000.00 (the "2013 Facility
Public Improvement Assessment") against the Facility Property for the portion of the 2013 Public
Improvements Cost that the City Council determined conferred a special benefit on the Facility
Property. As authorized by the Act, the 2013 Assessment Ordinance deferred the assessment of
the remainder of the 2013 Public Improvements Cost in the amount of $11,400,000.00 for the
portion of the 2013 Public Improvements that specially benefit the Related Development Property
(the "2013 Related Development Deferred Assessment") until the portion of the Related
Development Property that is specially benefited by the 2013 Public Improvements could be
identified. The 2013 Assessment Ordinance also deferred the assessment of the Related
Development Public Improvements Cost against the Related Development Property until the
portion(s) of the Related Development Property that are specially benefited by the Related
66
The Colony Public Improvement District No. 1 Annual Service and Assessment Plan Update - Page 4
1775.016\874945.7
Development Public Improvements could be identified. As described below, the City has levied
and intends to continue levying Additional Facility Assessments against the Facility Property for
costs of Additional Facility Public Improvements (that do not include the 2013 Public
Improvements) and has levied and intends to continue levying Assessments against the Related
Development Property for a portion of the costs of the Related Development Public Improvements
(that do not include the 2013 Public Improvements).
2.3 The 2013 Facility Public Improvements have been constructed by or on behalf of the
Corporations using, in part, the net proceeds of the 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds. The 2013
Facility Public Improvements fall into the following categories: (i) water, wastewater, and
drainage facilities or improvements, including sanitary sewer facilities, storm water detention and
retention facilities, and utility relocations related to such improvements; (ii) street and roadway
improvements, including related traffic signalization, signage, sidewalks, curbs, gutters,
streetscape, landscaping, drainage improvements, and utility relocations related to such street and
roadway improvements; (iii) mass transit facilities; (iv) park improvements, (v) landscaping; (vi)
lighting and signage; (vii) pedestrian malls; and (viii) site improvements for any of the foregoing,
including, but not limited to, grading, erosion control, wetlands mitigation, and floodplain
reclamation. The 2013 Public Improvements are more particularly described in the engineering
report titled PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS REPORT, The City of The Colony Public Improvement
District No. 1, The Colony, Texas dated November 30, 2012, prepared by Graham Associates, Inc.
(the "2013 Official Report"), a copy of which report is attached as Exhibit B to the Service and
Assessment Plan. All 2013 Facility Public Improvements, and portions of the Property on which
the 2013 Facility Public Improvements have been constructed, will remain owned by the City.
2.4 The 2013 Facility Public Improvement Assessment was pledged, on a pro-rata basis (based
on the par amount of each series of 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds issued as a percentage of
the total par amount of all 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds), as additional security for each series
of 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds in the event of a Debt Service Shortfall. Assessment Revenue
generated from the 2013 Facility Public Improvement Assessment, if collected by the City in the
event of Debt Service Shortfall, that is pledged to pay Debt Service Shortfall for any one series of
the 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds is not pledged to pay Debt Service Shortfalls for any other
series of 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds. In connection with each series of 2013 Project
Infrastructure Bonds, each respective issuer of the 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds entered into
a reimbursement agreement relating to each respective series of 2013 Project Infrastructure Bonds
(such agreements are referred to collectively as the "2013 Reimbursement Agreements"). On
January 19, 2021, the City issued its 2021 LGC Tax Refunding Bonds that refunded all of the
outstanding 2013 LGC Tax Bonds; and, the City entered into a 2021 LGC Tax Bonds
Reimbursement Agreement relating to the 2021 LGC Tax Refunding Bonds. The 2021 LGC Tax
Bonds Reimbursement Agreement pledged the portion of the 2013 Facility Public Improvement
Assessments previously allocated to the 2013 LGC Tax Bonds to the 2021 LGC Tax Refunding
Bonds and replaced the 2013 LGC Tax Bonds Reimbursement Agreement in its entirety. Public
Improvement Bonds secured in whole or in part by Assessments levied against Property in the
District as additional security in the event of a Debt Service Shortfall, including the 2013 Project
Infrastructure Bonds (but excluding the 2013 LGC Tax Bonds which were refunded by the 2021
LGC Tax Refunding Bonds) and the 2021 LGC Tax Refunding Bonds, are referred to collectively
as "Project Infrastructure Bonds." The 2013 Reimbursement Agreements together with the 2021
LGC Tax Bonds Reimbursement Agreement are referred to collectively as the "Reimbursement
67
The Colony Public Improvement District No. 1 Annual Service and Assessment Plan Update - Page 5
1775.016\874945.7
Agreements." Assessment Revenue from the 2013 Facility Public Improvement Assessment
levied against the Facility Property as additional security for any series of Project Infrastructure
Bonds will be collected in the event of a Debt Service Shortfall in Semi-Annual Installments and
deposited into the PID Operating Account as described below in Section 5.9 below.
SECTION 3

RELATED DEVELOPMENT IMPROVEMENTS
3.1 In addition to the 2013 Facility Public Improvement Assessment, the City has levied and
will continue to levy Assessments (the "Additional Facility Assessments") unrelated to Project
Infrastructure Bonds or the 2013 Public Improvements against the Facility Property for
"Additional Facility Public Improvements" that fall into the following categories: (i) water,
wastewater, and drainage facilities or improvements, including sanitary sewer facilities, storm
water detention and retention facilities, and utility relocations related to such improvements;

District, including services relating to advertising, promotion, health and sanitation, water and
wastewater, public safety, security, business recruitment, development, recreation, and cultural
enhancement; and (x) payment of expenses incurred in the administration and operation of the
District. The Additional Facility Public Improvements for which Assessments have been
previously levied are more particularly described in the special benefits reports attached to the
2015 Annual Service Plan Update, 2016 Annual Service Plan Update, 2017 Annual Service Plan
Update, 2018 Annual Service Plan Update, 2019 Annual Service Plan Update, 2020 Annual
Service Plan Update, 2021 Annual Service Plan Update, and in this Section 3 of this SAP Update.
The Additional Facility Assessments have not been and will not be pledged as security for any
series of Project Infrastructure Bonds. The Creation Resolution establishes a cap on the amount of
total costs for which Assessments may be levied against the Facility Property and in no event shall
the total amount of Assessments levied against the Facility Property for the 2013 Public
Improvements and the Additional Facility Public Improvements exceed $150,000,000.
3.2 As described above in Section 2.2, the City deferred the 2013 Related Development
Deferred Assessment for the remainder of the 2013 Public Improvements Cost in the amount of
$11,400,000.00 for the portion of the 2013 Public Improvements that specially benefit the Related
Development Property until the portion of the Related Development Property that is specially
benefited by the 2013 Public Improvements could be identified. The City has levied, and intends
to continue levying, additional Assessments against the Related Development Property for the
remaining Related Development Public Improvements Cost (that do not include the 2013 Public
Improvements) as portions of the Related Development Property that are specially benefited by
the Related Development Public Improvements are developed. The costs of certain Related
Development Public Improvements and the method of allocation of such costs based on the benefit
conferred by such Related Development Public Improvements are included in this SAP Update;

69
The Colony Public Improvement District No. 1 Annual Service and Assessment Plan Update - Page 7
1775.016\874945.7
serve the Waterfront (the "Waterfront Public Improvements", and together with the Related
Development Public Improvements referred to collectively as the "Annual Related Development
Public Improvements").
3.5 All Additional Facility Public Improvements and Annual Related Development Public
Improvements, and portions of the Property on which such Public Additional Facility Public
Improvements and Annual Related Development Improvements are constructed, will remain
owned by the City.
3.6 The annual costs for the Additional Facility Public Improvements, Waterfront Public
Improvements and Related Development Public Improvements are estimated in the Official Report
for the 2023-24 Public Improvements Cost attached as Exhibit B. The total cost of the Additional
Facility Public Improvements is estimated to be $655,901 (the "2024-25Additional Facility Public
Improvements Cost") as shown on Exhibit B. The annual total cost of the Waterfront Public
Improvements is estimated to be $54,167 (the "2024-25 Waterfront Public Improvements Cost")
as shown on Exhibit B. The annual total cost of the Related Development Public Improvements
is estimated to be $442,381 (the "2024-25 Related Development Public Improvements Cost") as
shown on Exhibit B. The individual line item costs shown in the Official Report for each category
of Additional Facility Public Improvements and Annual Related Development Public
Improvements are estimates and may vary item-to-item so long as the cost of all Public
Improvements do not exceed $1,152,450. The 2024-25 Additional Facility Public Improvements
Cost, 2024-25 Waterfront Public Improvements Cost, and 2024-25 Related Development Public
Improvements Cost are sometime referred to collectively as the "2024-25 Public Improvements
Cost." A reconciliation of the 2023-24 Public Improvement Costs yielded a $385,496 surplus. To
provide operations funding during the lag period between the budget commencement and the
annual assessment collection $284,166 (90 days of operating costs) was allocated to a “Pre-paid
Expense” line item. An additional $49,140 is being added to the total assessment to recover costs
from parcel-specific services ("Direct Supplemental Services") as described in Exhibit D. The
total sum of the 2024-25 Public Improvements Cost ($1,152,450), the 90 days of operating costs
reserve ($284,166), and the parcel specific Direct Supplemental Services ($49,140) brings the
overall 2024-25 costs to $1,485,757. The 2022-23 surplus of $385,496 was allocated
proportionately to reduce the 2024-25 Assessment from $1,485,757 to $1,100,260.58.
3.7 Assessments levied against the Facility Property, Related Development Property, or
Waterfront Property for costs of the Additional Facility Public Improvements and Annual Related
Development Public Improvements, as applicable, that are not pledged as security for Project
Infrastructure Bonds shall be updated annually and shall be collected as described below in Section

SECTION 5
ASSESSMENT PLAN
5.1 Method of Assessment. This Section 5 is the Assessment Plan for the District. This
Assessment Plan assesses the Public Improvements Cost against the Property on the basis of the
special benefits conferred on the Property by the Public Improvements. The Act provides that the
Public Improvements Cost may be assessed equally per front foot or square foot (with or without
regard to the value of improvements constructed on the land) or in any other manner that results
in imposing equal shares of the cost on property similarly benefited.
5.2 Best and Highest Use. Based on: (i) the size and location of the Property within the
corporate limits of the City; (ii) the lack of public infrastructure to serve development of the
Property; (iii) the proximity of the Property to public roadways and water and sewer facilities; (iv)
the proximity of the Property to population and employment centers; (v) the scope and economic
71
The Colony Public Improvement District No. 1 Annual Service and Assessment Plan Update - Page 9

impact of the Facility, the Waterfront and the Related Development on the City, Denton County;
and the north Texas region; (vi) existing and projected land uses in the vicinity of the Property;
(vii) projected growth in the greater Dallas metropolitan area and, in particular, along the State
Highway 121 corridor; and (viii) the quality of the proposed development within the Property, the
City Council has determined that: (A) the best and highest use of the Property is for the
development of the Facility, the Waterfront, and the Related Development; (B) achieving the best
and highest use of the Property requires the Public Improvements; (C) without the Public
Improvements the Property will not be developed to its best and highest use; (D) the establishment
of the District provides an effective means of funding the Public Improvements to achieve the best
and highest use for the Property without financial burden to the City; and (E) the Public
Improvements will promote the interests of the City and confer a special benefit on the Property.
5.3 Assessments Against Facility Property. As described in Section 2.2 above, the City has
levied the 2013 Facility Public Improvement Assessment in the amount of $83,400,000.00 against
the Facility Property for the portion of the 2013 Public Improvements Cost that the City Council
determined conferred a special benefit on the Facility Property. Based on the costs shown in the
Official Report for the 2024-25 Public Improvements for the 2024-25 attached as Exhibit B and
the Special Benefits Report attached as Exhibit D, the City has levied $655,901 in Assessments
against the Facility Property as shown on the Assessment Roll attached as Exhibit E which
consists of $655,901 for the 2024-25 Additional Facility Public Improvements Costs plus
$28,753.46 or approximately 41.66% the 90 days of operating costs (after accounting for the 2023-
24 surplus as described in Section 3.6 above) apportioned to the Facility Property based on the
benefit analysis described in Exhibit D. As the Facility Property is specially benefitted by
Additional Facility Improvements, the City intends to continue to levy Assessments against the
Facility Property. The Creation Resolution establishes a cap on the amount of the total costs for
which Assessments may be levied against the Facility Property and in no event shall the total
amount of Assessments levied against the Facility Property for the 2013 Public Improvements and
the Additional Public Improvement exceed $150,000,000. As shown in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of
Section 7 below, a total of $91,927,934.31has been levied against the Facility Property, consisting
of $83,400,000.00 for the 2013 Public Improvements and $8,527,934.31for the Additional Facility
Public Improvements.
5.4 Assessments Against Related Development Property. As described in Section 2.2 above,
the City deferred assessment of the remainder of the 2013 Public Improvements Cost in the amount
of $11,400,000.00 for the portion of the 2013 Public Improvements that specially benefit the
Related Development Property (the "2013 Related Development Deferred Assessment") until the
portion of the Related Development Property (which included the Waterfront Property at the time
of the deferral) that is specially benefited by the 2013 Public Improvements could be identified.
The deferral of the levy of the 2013 Related Development Deferred Assessment in the amount of
$11,400,000.00 under the 2013 Assessment Ordinance is hereby restated and shall be deferred
until the development of the Property is certified as complete by the owner. Based on the costs

the applicable Reimbursement Agreement beginning on the date stated in the applicable
Reimbursement Agreement and continuing every March 1 and September 1 thereafter and will be
delinquent if not paid within three calendar days after it is due and payable. Semi-Annual
Installments are not required to be level amounts and will vary depending on Semi-Annual District
Expenses and the amounts, if any, of Debt Service Shortfalls. For so long as any Project
Infrastructure Bonds remain outstanding, each of the Corporations, pursuant to a Reimbursement
Agreement, is required to calculate its respective Debt Service Shortfall amount for each bond
issue based on the "Bond Debt Service" schedules attached as Exhibit E-1, and each Corporation
shall certify such Debt Service Shortfall amount to the City no later than each February 1 or August
1 commencing August 1, 2013 (each a "Semi-Annual Calculation Date"). Upon notification of
each Debt Service Shortfall amount due for each bond issue, the City shall calculate the amount
of the Semi-Annual Installment and shall submit a bill to each property owner no later than each
February 15 and August 15 (each a "Semi-Annual Billing Date"). The City will use all reasonable
efforts to collect Semi-Annual Installments before they become delinquent. If a Semi-Annual
Installment becomes delinquent, all remedies at law or under the Act shall be available to the City.
If a Debt Service Shortfall is anticipated for more than one series of Project Infrastructure Bonds,
a portion of the funds in the PID Operating Account shall be transferred on a pro-rata basis to
separate sub-accounts corresponding to each issue of Project Infrastructure Bonds for which a Debt
Service Shortfall is anticipated to occur; and, such amounts shall be paid by the City from such
sub-accounts to each of the Corporations under the applicable Reimbursement Agreement to pay
Debt Service Shortfalls for the applicable series of Project Infrastructure Bonds. As required under

each respective Reimbursement Agreement, each Corporation calculated any anticipated Debt
Service Shortfall based on the Bond Debt Service schedules no later than February 1, 2024 and
August 1, 2024; and, each Corporation determined there would be no Debt Service Shortfall and
no Semi-Annual Installments were required to be paid for calendar year 2024.

Property (and the corresponding assessment lien) shall be reduced by the sum of all amounts by
which the outstanding principal of the Project Infrastructure Bonds for which the PID Operating
Account is pledged, as additional security, are reduced and by sum of all prepayments of the
Assessment made pursuant to Section 5.7. The current outstanding principal amount of the
Assessments levied against the Facility Property based on the debt service schedules related to the
Project Infrastructure Bonds attached as Exhibit E-1 is set forth in Section 7 below. The

Plan as updated by this SAP Update shall be treated the same with respect to the liens created to
secure payment and the rights of the City, including foreclosure, in the event of delinquencies.

other ordinance approving an Annual Service Plan Update, including this SAP Update.

the City, and the City shall execute a release, in recordable form, evidencing full payment of the
Assessment and the unconditional release of the lien securing payment of the Assessment. All

Exhibit D to The Colony SAP – Facility Public Improvements Cost Special Benefit Analysis - Page 2
1775.016\874945.7
The Facility is expected to generate eight million customers each year. Given the traffic and
security needs of the Facility, above those provided as part of the City's basic municipal services,
one hundred percent (100%) of the Public Improvements for the traffic management
system/control equipment and one hundred percent (100%) of the enhanced police services are
attributable to the Facility Property. The Facility Property is a single economic unit comprised of
two tax parcels. The costs attributable the Public Improvements for the traffic management system
and enhanced police services are allocated to the two tax parcels based on acreage.
During the development related to the Additional Facility Assessments and Related Development
Assessments described in the 2018 Annual Service Plan Update, a series of "Enhanced
Development Services" (now defined as "Direct Supplemental Services") were identified that
provided specific benefits to several individual parcels. Due to the nature of these supplemental
services and the scope they cover, they are not easily forecasted for inclusion in a budget. Instead,
these costs will be reconciled annually and directly assessed to the parcels that benefitted starting
with the Additional Facility Assessments and Related Development Assessments levied in
accordance with the 2019 Annual Service Plan update (See Exhibit E for adjusted assessments for
the current year). This provides a more accurate assessment and allows the costs of those services
to be recovered from the properties that have directly benefited from them. The total of these
services is $49,140 for the 2024-25 assessment. The costs related to the Direct Supplemental
Services are apportioned to the property that it benefits and levied to the benefited property’s tax
ID. A detailed use report of these Direct Supplemental Services is available upon request.
Additionally, the City retains a reserve of an estimated 90 days of operating costs calculated based
on the annual budget for the Public Improvements. The 90 days of operating costs are apportioned
to the Facility Property, waterfront Property and Related Development Property based on the
percentages described below.
Table D-1 below shows the special benefits analysis. The costs for the traffic management system
and enhanced police services shown below are allocated 100% to the Facility Property. The costs
for the enhanced development services, lake maintenance, and the street and roadway Public
Improvements are allocated on a per-acre basis to the Facility Property, the Waterfront Property
and the Related Development Property such that the Facility Property is apportioned
approximately 41.66 percent (107.47 Facility Property/257.939495 total acres); the Waterfront
Property is apportioned approximately 6.36 percent (16.421 Waterfront Property/257.939495 total
acres); and the Related Development Property is apportioned approximately 51.97 percent
(134.054995 Related Development Property/257.939495 total acres).

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, 2024 through September 30, 2025, 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.
2024-2025 budget highlights:
Ad Valorem Taxes are the City’s major revenue source. Total current Ad Valorem Taxes budgeted this year
are approximately $46 million which is a 3% increase from the prior year. Approximately $207 million of
the increase in tax base came from new construction equating to approximately $1.32 million in increased
revenue. Of the $46 million in property taxes budgeted, approximately $34.8 million is in the General
Fund and the remaining $11.1 million in General Fund Debt Service.
Sales Tax receipts budgeted at $23.5 million, is an increase of $807k or 3.5% above the prior year’s budget.
Franchise fees budgeted at $3.3 million, increased $525k or 19% in comparison to prior year.
This budget includes about $48.5 million in proposed supplemental requests and capital projects. Projects
included are $15.96 million in street, alleyway, drainage, and sidewalk reconstruction. $15.15 million in
facility upgrades, $6.19 million vehicle/heavy equipment replacements, $8.76 million in
Water/Wastewater with ($5.5 million) of outside funding from ARPA, and $2.45 million for Parks/Lake
Parks/CDC.
Also included in this budget and supported by operating revenues are 19 employee additions costing $1.3
million. Included in the position additions are Division Chief – Fire and Rescue Training, Registered
Sanitarian, Assistant Building Official, Facilities (7) – Janitors, Maintenance Worker, Supervisor, Fleet (2)
Techs, Human Resources Assistant, GIS Analyst P/T to F/T, Librarian, P/T Librarian, (2) Senior Center Rec
Leaders and P/T Rental Specialist.
The budget also includes blended COLA raises of 4%, costing an estimated $1.6 million. Both employee
additions and raises are supported by operating revenues.
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.
1 130
The total adopted operating budget is $169,059,642, a 17.5% increase from the 23-24 total operating
budget.
Economic Development
The Nebraska Furniture Mart Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) was established in November of
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 All Sports opened
the largest sporting goods store in the world offering 85 specialty shops and provided our second anchor
store for the development. Numerous restaurants and hotels have also located in the Zone. Fireside
Surf, PopStroke, 151 Coffee, Fritz’s Adventures, Rome, World of Beer, Worldsprings and Simply Unwine
and COSM opened this past year. North of SH 121 in The Colony, Live Oak Logistics Business Park is
nearing completion and currently leasing space. This development is approximately one-million square
feet of industrial and office space. In addition, you will find RifleGear, Texas Road House and Bubba’s 33
in this same location. Further down 121, also on the North side and across from the Grandscape
development, is Rooms to Go, Chair King and many other restaurants and retailers as well as Topgolf,
numerous hotels, medical office buildings and shopping centers. Business activity in The Colony has also
brought numerous jobs for our residents. The Nebraska Furniture Mart store alone employs around
1,800 people.
The widening of FM 423 (Main Street) from a 4 lane to a 6 lane 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 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’s continued funding of Library and Parks and
Recreation services help to ensure quality programming remains available to the community. Also of high
value is funding for beautification projects to continue to improve the overall aesthetic standard of
landscaped areas.
The City remains committed to the upkeep and preservation of trees and recently celebrated its
16th anniversary as a “Tree City USA.” Additionally, the City strives to provide high caliber events that
showcase a commitment to family friendly activities such as Liberty by the Lake, the American Heroes
Festival, and The Colony Summer Kickoff. Looking ahead, the focus will be on further improvements to
public spaces, including development of new pickleball courts, Library expansion, and relocation of
recreation facilities into a multi-generational center.

Future
The City Council and management team want to keep the items below on its radar.
•Continually reduce the property tax rate.
•Maintain street, alleyway, and sidewalk improvement programs.
•Facility growth and physical reallocation of departments.
•Adding staff for internal and external service departments to accommodate exponential
growth while continuing to serve citizens’ needs.
•Preparing for the next steps of the Water and Wastewater infrastructure expansions.
•Facilitate funding partnerships between CDC and Parks.
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 2024-2025 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!

*01 Starting with 2023-2024 version of this document, the method in which the ending fund balance is derived for this item is changing to a more dynamic
calculation to bring that number in line with the amount detailed in the City of The Colony Public Improvement District No. 1 Annual Service and Assessment
Plan Update. Prior to FY 23 this calculation was originally calculated as 90/365 day operating balance. Starting in FY 24, the calculation will be based off of a
dynamic snapshot of current expenditures at the start of the budget process and real-time forecasting of expenses that will occur between the snapshot and
the end of the fiscal year. These Changes are reflected in both the 22/23 and the 23/24 budget columns

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.
38 167
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.
39 168
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.
40 169
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.
41 170
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.
42 171
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
43 172
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.
44 173
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.
45 174
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:
46 175
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.
47 176
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.
48 177
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.
54 183
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.
55 184
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.
56 185
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
57 186
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.
58 187
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
59 188
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.
60 189
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.
61 190
(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,
62 191

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
67 196
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.
68 197
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),
69 198
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

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
70 199
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:
Investment Officers for THE COLONY shall solicit bids or quotes for certificates of deposit, or other

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

by this Investment Policy for the composite portfolio of THE COLONY, shall be 9 months.
D. DIVERSIFICATION:

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.

Policy.
71 200
VIII. SELECTION OF DEPOSITORY, BROKER/DEALERS, AND INVESTMENT ADVISORS
A. DEPOSITORY SOLICITATION PROCESS:

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

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.
72 201
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.
73 202
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
74 203
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.

successor (the “Designated Payment/Transfer Office”). Interest on the Certificates shall be paid
only to the Holders whose names appear in the Security Register at the close of business on the
Record Date (the last business day of the month next preceding the interest payment date) and
shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent by United States Mail, first-class,
postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the Security Register or (ii)
by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by and at the risk and
expense of the Holder. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates
shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day when banking institutions in the city where
the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized
by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding
day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day when such banking institutions
are authorized to close, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if
made on the original date payment was due.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30)
days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a “Special Record Date”) will be
209
202323571.2/10013085914 4
established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest
have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled
payment date of the past due interest (which shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special Record
Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by United
States mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing on the Security
Registrar at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of
such notice.
Section 4.Redemption.
(a)Optional Redemption. The Certificates maturing on or after February 15, 2035
shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the City, in whole or in part, in
principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot
by the Paying Agent/Registrar) on February 15, 2034 or any date thereafter, at the redemption
price of par plus accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date on which interest
has been paid or duly provided for to the date of redemption.
At least forty-five (45) days prior to an optional redemption date for the Certificates (unless
a shorter notification period shall be satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar), the City shall
notify the Paying Agent/Registrar of the decision to redeem Certificates, the principal amount of
each Stated Maturity to be optionally redeemed, and the date of redemption.
(b)[Mandatory Redemption. The Certificates having Stated Maturities of February
15 in the years 20__ and 20__ (collectively, the “Term Certificates”) shall be subject to mandatory
redemption in part prior to maturity at the redemption price of par and accrued interest to the date
of redemption on the respective dates and in principal amounts as follows:
Term Certificates due February 15, 20 Term Certificates due February 15, 20

February 15, 20__ (maturity),000
At least forty-five (45) days prior to the mandatory redemption date for the Term
Certificates, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select by lot the numbers of the Term Certificates
to be redeemed on the next following February 15 from moneys set aside for that purpose in the
Certificate Fund (as hereinafter defined). Any Term Certificate not selected for prior redemption
shall be paid on the date of its Stated Maturity.
The principal amount of the Term Certificates required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Certificates which, at least fifty (50) days prior to the mandatory redemption date, (1) shall have
been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates
plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar
for cancellation or (2) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions
set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section and not theretofore credited against a mandatory
redemption requirement.]
(c)Selection of Certificates for Redemption. If less than all Outstanding
Certificates of the same Stated Maturity are to be redeemed on a redemption date, the Paying
210
202323571.2/10013085915 5
Agent/Registrar shall treat such Certificates as representing the number of Certificates
Outstanding, which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Certificates by $5,000,
and shall select the Certificates, or principal amount thereof, to be redeemed within such Stated
Maturity by lot.
(d)Notice of Redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date
for the Certificates, a notice of redemption shall be sent by United States Mail, first-class, postage
prepaid, in the name of the City and at the City’s expense, to each Holder of a Certificate to be
redeemed in whole or in part at the address of the Holder appearing on the Security Register at
the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing such notice, and
any notice of redemption so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
irrespective of whether received by the Holder.
All notices of redemption shall: (i) specify the date of redemption for the Certificates,
(ii) identify the Certificates to be redeemed and, in the case of a portion of the principal amount to
be redeemed, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, (iii) state the redemption price,
(iv) state that the Certificates, or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall
become due and payable on the redemption date specified, and the interest thereon, or on the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall cease to accrue from and after the
redemption date, and (v) specify that payment of the redemption price for the Certificates, or the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall be made at the Designated Payment/Transfer
Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender thereof by the Holder.
If a Certificate is subject by its terms to prior redemption and has been called for redemption and
notice of redemption thereof has been duly given as hereinabove provided, such Certificate (or
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) shall become due and payable and interest thereon
shall cease to accrue from and after the specified redemption date; provided moneys sufficient
for the payment of such Certificate (or of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) at the then
applicable redemption price are held for the purpose of such payment by the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
(e)Conditional Notice of Redemption. With respect to any optional redemption of
the Certificates, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on the Certificates to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior
to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may state that said redemption may, at the
option of the City, be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar
on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon the satisfaction of any prerequisites set
forth in such notice of redemption; and, if sufficient moneys are not received or such prerequisites
are not satisfied, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such
Certificates and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of
redemption was given, to the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed.
Section 5.Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Certificates - Predecessor
Certificates. A Security Register relating to the registration, payment, and transfer or exchange
of the Certificates shall at all times be kept and maintained by the City at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, as provided herein and in accordance
with the provisions of an agreement with the Paying Agent/Registrar and such rules and
regulations as the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City may prescribe. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security Register the name and address
of each Holder of the Certificates issued under and pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance.
Any Certificate may, in accordance with its terms and the terms hereof, be transferred or
exchanged for Certificates of other authorized denominations by the Holder, in person or by his
duly authorized agent, upon surrender of such Certificate to the Paying Agent/Registrar at the
211
202323571.2/10013085916 6
Designated Payment/Transfer Office for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer or request for exchange duly executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized agent, in
form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
Upon the surrender for transfer of any Certificate (other than the Initial Certificate(s)
authorized in Section 8 hereof) at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates, executed on behalf of, and
furnished by, the City, of authorized denominations and having the same Stated Maturity and of
a like aggregate principal amount as the Certificate or Certificates surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Holder, Certificates (other than the Initial Certificate(s) authorized in
Section 8 hereof) may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations and
having the same Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest, and of like aggregate principal
amount as the Certificates surrendered for exchange upon the surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and
deliver new Certificates, executed on behalf of, and furnished by the City, to the Holder requesting
the exchange.
All Certificates issued upon any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be delivered to
the Holders at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, or sent by
United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Holder and, upon the registration and
delivery thereof, the same shall be valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same obligation to
pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates surrendered in
such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Certificates pursuant to this Section shall be made without
expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
Certificates cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer under this Section are hereby
defined to be “Predecessor Certificates,” evidencing all or a portion, as the case may be, of the
same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Certificate or Certificates registered and delivered
in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term “Predecessor Certificates” shall include
any Certificate registered and delivered pursuant to Section 23 hereof in lieu of a mutilated, lost,
destroyed, or stolen Certificate which shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the
mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty-five (45) days of
the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation on
transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance
of a Certificate called for redemption in part.
Section 6.Book-Entry-Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment, and transfer/exchange
of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of “Book-Entry-Only”
securities clearance, settlement and transfer system provided by The Depository Trust Company
212
202323571.2/10013085917 7
(“DTC”), a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, in
accordance with the operational arrangements referenced in the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations by and between the City and DTC (the “Depository Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Certificates shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Certificates for its participants (the “DTC Participants”).
While the Certificates are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the
Certificates on the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or
owner of each Certificate (the “Beneficial Owners”) being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.
In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the
Certificates or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City decides to discontinue the use of the system of book-entry-only
transfers through DTC, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Certificates to cause
Certificates to be printed in definitive form and issued and delivered to DTC Participants and
Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Certificates in definitive form shall be
assigned, transferred and exchanged on the Security Register maintained by the Paying
Agent/Registrar and payment of such Certificates shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof.
Section 7.Execution - Registration. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the Mayor or the Mayor Pro Tem under its seal reproduced or impressed thereon and
countersigned by the City Secretary or Deputy City Secretary. The signatures of said officers and
the seal of the City on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of said individuals who are or were the proper officers of the City
on the Certificate Date shall be deemed to be duly executed on behalf of the City, notwithstanding
that one or more of such individuals shall cease to hold such offices at the time of delivery of the
Certificates to the initial purchaser(s), and with respect to Certificates delivered in subsequent
exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided in Texas Government Code, Chapter
1201, as amended.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate either a certificate of
registration substantially as set forth in the form provided in Section 9C, executed manually or by
facsimile by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas or his duly authorized agent,
or a certificate of registration substantially as set forth in the form provided in Section 9D, manually
executed by an authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar,
and either such certificate duly signed upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly certified, registered, and delivered.
Section 8.Initial Certificate(s). The Certificates herein authorized shall be initially
issued either (i) as a single fully registered certificate in the total principal amount of this series
with principal installments to become due and payable as provided in Section 2 and numbered T-
1 or, alternatively, (ii) as multiple fully registered certificates, being one certificate for each year of
maturity in the applicable principal amount and denomination and to be numbered consecutively
from T-1 and upward (hereinafter called the “Initial Certificate(s)”) and, in either case, the Initial
Certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the initial purchaser(s) or the designee thereof.
The Initial Certificate(s) shall be the Certificate(s) submitted to the Office of the Attorney General
213
202323571.2/10013085918 8
of the State of Texas for approval, certified and registered by the Office of the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas and delivered to the initial purchaser(s). Any time after the
delivery of the Initial Certificate(s), the Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to written instructions
from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, shall cancel the Initial Certificate(s) delivered
hereunder and exchange therefor definitive Certificates of authorized denominations, Stated
Maturities, principal amounts and bearing applicable interest rates for transfer and delivery to the
Holders named at the addresses identified therefor; all pursuant to and in accordance with such
written instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, and such other
information and documentation as the Paying Agent/Registrar may reasonably require.
Section 9.Forms.
A.Forms Generally. The Certificates, the Registration Certificate of the Comptroller
of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, the Certificate of Registration of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the form of Assignment to be printed on each of the Certificates, shall be
substantially in the forms set forth in this Section with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions, and other variations as are permitted or required by this Ordinance and may have
such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification (including identifying numbers and letters
of the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures of the American Bankers
Association) and such legends and endorsements (including insurance legends in the event the
Certificates, or any maturities thereof, are purchased with insurance and any reproduction of an
opinion of counsel) thereon as may, consistently herewith, be established by the City or
determined by the officers executing such Certificates as evidenced by their execution thereof.
Any portion of the text of any Certificate may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an
appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Certificate.
The definitive Certificates and the Initial Certificate(s) shall be printed, lithographed,
engraved, typewritten, photocopied, or otherwise reproduced in any other similar manner, all as
determined by the officers executing such Certificates as evidenced by their execution thereof.
The City may provide (i) for issuance of one fully registered Certificate for the Stated
Maturity in the aggregate principal amount of such Stated Maturity and (ii) for registration of such
Certificate in the name of a securities depository, or the nominee thereof. While any Certificate
is registered in the name of a securities depository or its nominee, references herein and in the
Certificates to the holder or owner of such Certificate shall mean the securities depository or its
nominee and shall not mean any other person.

day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day when such banking institutions
are authorized to close, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if
made on the original date payment was due.
This Certificate is one of the series specified in its title issued in the aggregate principal
amount of $______ (herein referred to as the “Certificates”) for the purpose of paying contractual
obligations to be incurred for (i) constructing, improving and renovating streets, alleys, culverts

with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, particularly Texas Local Government Code,
Subchapter C of Chapter 271, as amended, and pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the City
Council of the City (hereinafter referred to as the “Ordinance”).
[The Certificates maturing on the dates hereinafter identified (collectively, the “Term
Certificates”) are subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity with funds on deposit in the
Certificate Fund established and maintained for the payment thereof in the Ordinance, and shall
be redeemed in part prior to maturity at the price of par and accrued interest thereon to the
mandatory redemption date on the respective dates and in principal amounts as follows:
The particular Term Certificates of a stated maturity to be redeemed on each redemption
date shall be chosen by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar; provided, however, that the principal
amount of Term Certificates for a stated maturity required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Certificates of like stated maturity which, at least fifty (50) days prior to the mandatory redemption
date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of
such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (2) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions appearing below and not theretofore credited against a mandatory
redemption requirement.]
The Certificates maturing on and after February 15, 2035, may be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturity, at the option of the City, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), on
February 15, 2034, or on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest
to the date of redemption.
At least thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date, the City shall cause a written notice of
such redemption to be sent by United States Mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to the registered
owners of each Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the Security Register and
subject to the terms and provisions relating thereto contained in the Ordinance. If a Certificate
(or any portion of its principal sum) shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of such
redemption duly given, then upon the redemption date such Certificate (or the portion of its
principal sum to be redeemed) shall become due and payable, and interest thereon shall cease
to accrue from and after the redemption date; provided, moneys for the payment of the redemption
price and the interest accrued on the principal amount to be redeemed to the date of redemption
are held for the purpose of such payment by the Paying Agent/Registrar.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Certificates, unless moneys sufficient to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates to be redeemed shall
have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption,
such notice may state that said redemption may, at the option of the City, be conditional upon the
receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such
216
202323571.2/100130859111 11
redemption, or upon the satisfaction of any prerequisites set forth in such notice of redemption;
and, if sufficient moneys are not received or such prerequisites are not satisfied, such notice shall
be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Certificates and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to
the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed.
In the event a portion of the principal amount of a Certificate is to be redeemed and the
registered owner is someone other than Cede & Co., payment of the redemption price of such
principal amount shall be made to the registered owner only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificate to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a
new Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations
provided by the Ordinance for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof will be
issued to the registered owner, without charge. If a Certificate is selected for redemption, in whole
or in part, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such Certificate
to an assignee of the registered owner within forty-five (45) days of the redemption date; provided,
however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered
owner of the unredeemed balance of a Certificate redeemed in part.
The Certificates are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, within the
limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City and are additionally payable
from and secured by a lien on and limited pledge of the Surplus Revenues (as described in the
Ordinance) of the City’s waterworks and sewer system (the “System”), such lien and pledge,
however, being junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined
in the Ordinance) of the System securing the payment of the Prior Lien Obligations (as defined in
the Ordinance) currently outstanding or as may hereafter be issued by the City. In the Ordinance,
the City reserves and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations without limitation as to
principal amount but subject to any applicable terms, conditions or restrictions under law or
otherwise as well as the right to issue additional obligations payable from the same sources as
the Certificates and equally and ratably secured by a parity lien on and pledge of the Surplus
Revenues of the System.
Reference is hereby made to the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file in the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and to all of the provisions of which the
registered owner by the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the
description of and the nature and extent of the tax levied for the payment of the Certificates; the
properties constituting the System; the Net Revenues pledged to the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Certificates; the nature, extent, and manner of enforcement of the pledge; the
terms and conditions relating to the transfer or exchange of this Certificate; the conditions upon
which the Ordinance may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the
registered owners; the rights, duties, and obligations of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar;
the terms and provisions upon which the tax levy and the liens, pledges, charges, and covenants
made therein may be discharged at or prior to the maturity of this Certificate, and this Certificate
deemed to be no longer Outstanding; and, for the other terms and provisions thereof. Capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Ordinance.
This Certificate, subject to certain limitations contained in the Ordinance, may be
transferred on the Security Register only upon its presentation and surrender at Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, with the Assignment hereon duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar duly executed by, the registered owner hereof, or his duly authorized agent.
When a transfer on the Security Register occurs, one or more new fully registered Certificates of
217
202323571.2/100130859112 12
the same Stated Maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and of
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either, may treat the registered
owner hereof whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date as the owner
entitled to the payment of the interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this Certificate as
the owner entitled to the payment of the principal hereof at its Stated Maturity, or upon its prior
redemption, in whole or in part, and (iii) on any other date as the owner for all other purposes,
and neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any agent of either, shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date,
and for thirty (30) days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a “Special Record
Date”) will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of
such interest have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the
scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special
Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by
United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each registered owner appearing
on the Security Register at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date
of mailing of such notice.
It is hereby certified, recited, represented, and covenanted that the City is a duly organized
and legally existing municipal corporation under and by virtue of the Constitution and laws of the
State of Texas; that the issuance of the Certificates is duly authorized by law; that all acts,
conditions, and things required to exist and be done precedent to and in the issuance of the
Certificates to render the same lawful and valid obligations of the City have been properly done,
have happened, and have been performed in regular and due time, form, and manner as required
by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the Ordinance; that the Certificates do not
exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation; and that due provision has been made for the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates by the levy of a tax and a limited pledge
of and lien on the Surplus Revenues of the System as stated above. In case any provision in this
Certificate or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions and applications shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby. The terms and provisions of this Certificate and the Ordinance shall be
construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City Council of the City has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed under the official seal of the City as of the Certificate Date.

Section 11.Certificate Account. For the purpose of paying the interest on and to
provide a sinking fund for the payment and retirement of the Certificates, there shall be and is
hereby created a special fund or account to be designated “SPECIAL 2024 COMBINATION TAX
AND LIMITED SURPLUS REVENUE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION ACCOUNT” (the
“Certificate Account”), which fund or account shall be maintained on the records of the City and
deposited in a special fund maintained at an official depository of the City’s funds, and moneys
deposited in said fund or account shall be used for no other purpose. The Mayor, Mayor Pro
Tem, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, City Secretary and Deputy City
Secretary, any one or more of said officials of the City, are hereby authorized and directed to
make withdrawals from said fund or account sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the
Certificates as the same become due and payable, and, shall cause to be transferred to the
Paying Agent/Registrar from moneys on deposit in the Certificate Account (on or prior to a
principal and/or interest payment date) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of principal and/or
interest falling due on the Certificates.
Pending the transfer of funds to the Paying Agent/Registrar, money in the Certificate
Account may, at the option of the City, invested in investments authorized by the Public Funds
Investment Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, as amended, and the City’s investment
policy; provided that all such deposits and investments shall be made in such a manner that the
money required to be expended from said Certificate Account will be available at the proper time
or times. All interest and income derived from deposits and investments in the Certificate Account
shall be credited to, and any losses debited to, such account. All investments in the Certificate
Account shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent any default in connection with the
Certificates.
Section 12.Tax Levy. To provide for the payment of the “Debt Service Requirements”
on the Certificates being (i) the interest on said Certificates and (ii) a sinking fund for their
redemption at maturity or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount shall be the greater), there
shall be and there is hereby levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, for the current year
and each succeeding year thereafter while said Certificates or any interest thereon shall remain
Outstanding, a sufficient tax on each one hundred dollars’ valuation of taxable property in said
223
202323571.2/100130859118 18
City, adequate to pay such Debt Service Requirements, full allowance being made for
delinquencies and costs of collection; said tax shall be assessed and collected each year and
applied to the payment of the Debt Service Requirements, and the same shall not be diverted to
any other purpose. The taxes so levied and collected shall be paid into the Certificate Account.
The City Council hereby declares its purpose and intent to provide and levy a tax legally and fully
sufficient to pay the said Debt Service Requirements, it having been determined that the existing
and available taxing authority of the City for such purpose is adequate to permit a legally sufficient
tax in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness.
The amount of taxes to be provided annually for the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Certificates shall be determined and accomplished in the following manner:
Prior to the date the City Council establishes the annual tax rate and passes an ordinance
levying ad valorem taxes each year, the City Council shall determine:
(1)The amount on deposit in the Certificate Account after (a) deducting
therefrom the total amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due on Certificates
prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes to be levied and (b) adding thereto
the amount of the Net Revenues of the System appropriated and allocated to pay such
Debt Service Requirements prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes to be
levied.
(2)The amount of Surplus Revenues and any other lawfully available
revenues which are appropriated and to be set aside during such fiscal year for the
payment of the Debt Service Requirements on the Certificates between the Collection
Date for the taxes then to be levied and the Collection Date for the taxes to be levied
during the next succeeding fiscal year.
(3)The amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due and payable on
the Certificates between the Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied and the
Collection Date for the taxes to be levied during the next succeeding calendar year.
The amount of taxes to be levied annually each year to pay the Debt Service
Requirements on the Certificates shall be the amount established in paragraph (3) above less the
sum total of the amounts established in paragraphs (1) and (2), after taking into consideration
delinquencies and costs of collecting such annual taxes.
Section 13.Pledge of Revenues. The City hereby covenants and agrees that, subject
to the prior lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues to the payment and security of the Prior Lien
Obligations, the Surplus Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal
of and interest on the Certificates, and the pledge of Surplus Revenues herein made for the
payment of the Certificates shall be limited to $1,000 and shall constitute a lien on the Surplus
Revenues until such time as the City shall pay all of such $1,000, after which time the pledge
shall cease, all in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and be valid and binding and
fully perfected from and after the date of adoption of this Ordinance without physical delivery or
transfer or transfer of control of the Surplus Revenues, the filing of this Ordinance or any other
act; all as provided in Texas Government Code, Chapter 1208, as amended (“Chapter 1208”).
Chapter 1208 applies to the issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of the Surplus
Revenues of the System granted by the City under this Section 13, and such pledge is therefore
valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are
224
202323571.2/100130859119 19
Outstanding such that the pledge of the Surplus Revenues of the System granted by the City
under this Section 13 is to be subject to the filing requirements of Texas Business and Commerce
Code, Chapter 9, as amended, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the
Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such
measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the
applicable provisions of Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 9, as amended, and
enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 14.Revenue Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees that all revenues
derived from the operation of the System shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds,
accounts, and moneys of the City, and shall be deposited as collected into the “City of The Colony,
Texas, Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds Revenue Fund” (heretofore created and
established in the connection with the issuance of outstanding Prior Lien Obligations and
hereinafter called the “Revenue Fund”). All moneys deposited in the Revenue Fund shall be
pledged and appropriated to the extent required for the following purposes and in the order of
priority shown, to wit:
First: To the payment of the reasonable and proper maintenance and operation expenses
of the System as defined herein or required by statute or ordinances authorizing the Prior
Lien Obligations to be a first charge on and claim against the revenues of the System.
Second: To the payment of all amounts required to be deposited in the special funds
created and established for the payment, security and benefit of Prior Lien Obligations in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the ordinances authorizing the issuance of
Prior Lien Obligations.
Third: To the payment of the limited amounts required to be deposited in the special funds
and accounts created and established for the payment of the Certificates and Additional
Obligations.
Any Net Revenues remaining in the Revenue Fund after satisfying the foregoing
payments, or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be
appropriated and used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law.
Section 15.Deposits to Certificate Account. The City agrees to cause to be
deposited in the Certificate Account prior to a principal and interest payment date for the
Certificates from the Surplus Revenues in the Revenue Fund, after the deduction of all payments
required to be made to the special Funds or accounts created for the payment and security of the
Prior Lien Obligations, or from ad valorem taxes or other lawfully available funds, as applicable,
any amounts budgeted to be paid from the Certificate Account in such Fiscal Year.
Accrued interest and premium, if any, received from the purchaser of the Certificates shall
be deposited to the Certificate Account. In addition, any surplus proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates not expended for authorized purposes shall be deposited in the Certificate Account,
and such amounts so deposited shall reduce the sums otherwise required to be deposited in said
Certificate Account.
Section 16.Security of Funds. All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly invested)
shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas for the
225
202323571.2/100130859120 20
security of public funds, and moneys on deposit in such Funds shall be used only for the purposes
permitted by this Ordinance.
Section 17.Remedies in Event of Default. In addition to all the rights and remedies
provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (a) defaults in the payments to be made to the Certificate Account, or (b) defaults
in the observance or performance of any other of the covenants, conditions, or obligations set
forth in this Ordinance, any Holder shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of
proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the governing body of the City and other officers of
the City to observe and perform any covenant, condition, or obligation prescribed in this
Ordinance.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence
therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient. The specific remedies herein provided shall be cumulative of all other
existing remedies and the specification of such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive.
Section 18.Special Covenants. The City hereby covenants as follows:
(i)That it has the lawful power to pledge the Surplus Revenues supporting
this issue of Certificates and has lawfully exercised said powers under the Constitution
and laws of the State of Texas, including said power existing under Texas Local
Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter 271, as amended, and Texas Government
Code, Chapter 1502, as amended.
(ii)That other than for the payment of the outstanding Prior Lien Obligations
and the Certificates, the Net Revenues are not pledged to the payment of any debt or
obligation of the City or of the System.
(iii)That other than for the payment of the outstanding Certificates, the Surplus
Revenues are not pledged to the payment of any debt or obligation of the City or of the
System.
(iv)That, as long as any Certificates or any interest thereon remain
Outstanding, and the pledge of the Surplus Revenues has not been fully satisfied, the City
will not sell, lease, or encumber the System or any substantial part thereof, provided that
this covenant shall not be construed to prohibit the sale of such machinery, or other
properties or equipment which has become obsolete or otherwise unsuited to the efficient
operation of the System.
(v)The City recognizes that the purchasers and owners of the Certificates will
have accepted them on, and paid a price which reflects, the understanding that interest
thereon is excludable from federal income taxation under laws in force at the time the
Certificates shall have been delivered. In this connection the City covenants to take no
action or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act may render the interest on
any of such Certificates subject to federal income taxation, particularly pursuant to Section
103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), nor shall the City
take any action or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act, would have the
effect of causing the income derived by the City from the System to become subject to
federal income taxation in the hands of the City, whether or not provision shall have been
made for the payment of such Certificates.
226
202323571.2/100130859121 21
Section 19.Issuance of Additional Obligations. The City hereby expressly reserves
the right to hereafter issue Prior Lien Obligations and Additional Obligations without limitation as
to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions applicable thereto under
law or otherwise.
Additional Prior Lien Obligations and Additional Obligations, if issued, may be payable, in
whole or in part, from Net Revenues (without impairment of the obligation of contract with the
holders of Certificates) upon such terms and conditions as the City Council may determine.
Additional Obligations, if issued and payable, in whole or in part, from Surplus Revenues (as
defined in the same or similar terms as the term Surplus Revenues is defined in this Ordinance),
shall not in any event be construed as payable from the Surplus Revenues required by this
Ordinance to be budgeted and appropriated for the payment of the Certificates and interest
thereon.
It is the intention of this governing body and accordingly hereby recognized and stipulated
that the provisions, agreements and covenants contained herein bearing upon the management
and operations of the System, and the administering and application of revenues derived from
the operation thereof, shall to the extent possible be harmonized with like provisions, agreements
and covenants contained in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Prior Lien Obligations,
and to the extent of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions contained herein and in the
ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Prior Lien Obligations, the provisions, agreements and
covenants contained therein shall prevail to the extent of such conflict and be applicable to this
Ordinance but in all respects subject to the priority of rights and benefits, if any, conferred thereby
to the holders of the Prior Lien Obligations.
Section 20.Sale of the Certificates – Official Statement Approval. Pursuant to a
public sale for the Certificates, the bid submitted by _____________ (herein referred to as the
“Purchasers”) is declared to be the best bid received producing the lowest true interest cost rate
to the City, and the sale of the Certificates to the Purchasers at the price of par plus premium in
the amount of $_______________, is hereby determined to be in the best interests of the City
and is approved and confirmed. Delivery of the Certificates to the Purchasers shall occur as soon
as possible upon payment being made therefor in accordance with the terms of sale. The Initial
Certificate shall be registered in the name as provided in the winning bid.
Furthermore, the use of the Preliminary Official Statement by the Purchasers in connection
with the public offering and sale of the Certificates is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved in
all respects and such Preliminary Official Statement is hereby deemed "final" as of its date within
the meaning and for the purposes of paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The final Official Statement, which reflects the terms of sale
(together with such changes approved by the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Assistant
City Manager, Director of Finance, City Secretary or Deputy City Secretary, any one or more of
said officials), shall be and is hereby in all respects approved and the Purchasers are hereby
authorized to use and distribute said final Official Statement, dated September 3, 2024, in the
reoffering, sale and delivery of the Certificates to the public. The Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem and
City Secretary or Deputy City Secretary are further authorized to execute and deliver for and on
behalf of the City copies of said Official Statement in final form as may be required by the
Purchasers, and such final Official Statement in the form and content executed by said officials
shall be deemed to be approved by the Council and constitute the Official Statement authorized
for distribution and use by the Purchasers.
227
202323571.2/100130859122 22
Section 21.Notices to Owners - Waiver. Wherever this Ordinance provides for notice
to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and sent by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to the address
of each Holder appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on the business day
next preceding the mailing of such notice.
In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice
to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to all other Certificates. Where this Ordinance provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Holder entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given; and, such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Section 22.Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption,
transfer, exchange, or replacement, if surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, shall be
promptly canceled by it; and, if surrendered to the City, shall be delivered to the Paying
Agent/Registrar and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Paying
Agent/Registrar. The City may at any time deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation
any Certificates previously certified or registered and delivered which the City may have acquired
in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Paying Agent/Registrar. All canceled Certificates held by the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be
returned to the City.
Section 23.Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the City shall execute and, upon its request, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate,
a new Certificate of the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate has become or is about
to become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Certificate,
pay such Certificate.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the City may require payment
by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent/Registrar)
connected therewith.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Certificate shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the City, whether
or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably with all other
Outstanding Certificates.
228
202323571.2/100130859123 23
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Certificates.
Section 24.Covenants to Maintain Tax-Exempt Status of Interest on the
Certificates.

following meanings:
“Closing Date” means the date on which the Certificates are first
authenticated and delivered to the initial purchasers against payment therefor.

Regulations.
“Gross Proceeds” means any proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(b) of
the Regulations, and any replacement proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(c)

Regulations.
“Nonpurpose Investment” means any investment property, as defined in
Section 148(b) of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Certificates are
invested and which is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of the
Certificates.
“Rebate Amount” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
“Regulations” means any proposed, temporary, or final Income Tax
Regulations issued pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code,
and 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which are applicable to the

202323571.2/100130859124 24
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds)
in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any Certificate to
become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owner thereof
for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until
the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond
law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption
from federal income tax of the interest on any Certificate, the City shall comply with each of the
specific covenants in this Section.
(c)No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last Stated
Maturity of Certificates:
(1)exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Certificates, and not use or permit the use of
such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different
than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed
or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or
entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality
thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a
member of the general public; and
(2)not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other
payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the
Certificates or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which
is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds,
other than taxes of general application within the City or interest earned on
investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their
intended purposes.
(d)No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Certificates
to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For
purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be “loaned” to a
person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is
sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income
tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity
under a take or pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens
and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired, constructed or
improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the
economic equivalent of a loan.
(e)Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Certificates directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any
Investment (or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such
investment the Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or
with money replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of
the Certificates.
230
202323571.2/100130859125 25
(f)Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g)Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by Section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and in
such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(h)Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1)The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts,
expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and
apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) and
shall retain all records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which
the last outstanding Certificate is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by
law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the Certificates with other money
of the City, provided that the City separately accounts for each receipt and
expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith.
(2)Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall
calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in Section 148(f)
of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain
such calculations with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance
of the Certificates until six years after the final Computation Date.
(3)As additional consideration for the purchase of the Certificates by
the Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to
induce such purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the
interest thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States out of the Certificate Account
or its general fund, as permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion
of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the amount that when added to the
future value of previous rebate payments made for the Certificates equals (i) in the
case of a Final Computation Date as defined in Section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the
Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date;
and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the
Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made at
the times, in the installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be
required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder,
and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and information as
is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings
thereunder.
(4)The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors
are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3),
and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a
reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty
(180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of
231
202323571.2/100130859126 26
any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty
imposed under Section 1.148-3(h) of the Regulations.
(i)Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to subsection (h) of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm’s length and had the Yield of the Certificates not been
relevant to either party.
(j)Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,
City Manager, Assistant City Manager and Director of Finance, either or any combination of them,
to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations,
as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Certificates, in the Certificate as to
Tax Exemption or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
Section 25.Satisfaction of Obligations of City. If the City shall pay or cause to be
paid, or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Certificates, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the pledge
of taxes levied and the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues under this Ordinance and all
covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the City to the Holders shall thereupon cease,
terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
The Certificates, or any principal amount(s) thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid
within the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section when (a) money sufficient
to pay in full such Certificates or the principal amount(s) thereof at maturity or the redemption date
therefor, together with all interest due thereon, shall have been irrevocably deposited with and
held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, or (b) Government
Securities shall have been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an
authorized escrow agent, which Government Securities have been certified by an independent
accounting or consulting firm to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such
times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money, together with any
moneys deposited therewith, if any, to pay when due the principal of and interest on such
Certificates, on and prior to the Stated Maturity thereof or (if notice of redemption has been duly
given or waived or if irrevocable arrangements therefor have been made) the redemption date
thereof. The City covenants that no deposit of moneys or Government Securities will be made
under this Section and no use made of any such deposit which would cause the Certificates to be
treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or regulations adopted
pursuant thereto.
Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar, and all income from
Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow
agent, pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of the Certificates, or any
principal amount(s) thereof, or interest thereon with respect to which such moneys have been so
deposited shall be remitted to the City or deposited as directed by the City. Furthermore, upon
the City’s request, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall remit to the city along with a written receipt,
any moneys deposited and held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Certificates which remain unclaimed for a period of three (3) years
after being so deposited and held on the Stated Maturity or applicable redemption date on the
Certificates. Notwithstanding the above and foregoing, any remittance of funds from the Paying
232
202323571.2/100130859127 27
Agent/Registrar to the City shall be subject to any applicable unclaimed property laws of the State
of Texas.
Section 26.Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of sale of the Certificates, excluding the
amounts to pay costs of issuance, shall be deposited in a construction fund maintained at the
City’s depository bank. Pending expenditure for authorized projects and purposes, such proceeds
of sale may be invested in authorized investments in accordance with the provisions of Texas
Government Code, Chapter 2256, as amended, including guaranteed investment contracts and
the City’s investment policies and guidelines, and any investment earnings realized may be
expended for such authorized projects and purposes or deposited in the Certificate Account as
shall be determined by the City Council. All surplus proceeds of sale of the Certificates, including
investment earnings, remaining after completion of all authorized projects or purposes shall be
deposited to the credit of the Certificate Account.
Section 27.Ordinance a Contract - Amendments. The provisions of this Ordinance
shall constitute a contract with the Holders; and, the City shall not amend or repeal any of the
provisions of this Ordinance so long as any Certificate remains Outstanding except as permitted
in this Section and Section 28 hereof. The City, may, without the consent of or notice to any
Holders, from time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance in any manner not detrimental
to the interests of the Holders, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal
defect or omission herein. In addition, with the written consent of the registered owner or owners
holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding affected
thereby, the City may amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of this Ordinance; provided
that, without the consent of all Holders of Outstanding Certificates, no such amendment, addition
or rescission shall: (1) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Certificates, reduce the principal amount thereof, the redemption price
therefor, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates; (2) give any preference to any
Certificate over any other Certificate; or, (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Certificates
required to be held by Holders for consent to any such amendment, addition or rescission.

For these purposes, (a) any event described in the immediately preceding item 12 is

or similar officer for the City in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any
other proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has
assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the City, or if such
jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in
possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the
entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or
governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or
business of the City and (b) the City intends the words used in the immediately preceding items
15 and 16 in this Section to have the same meanings as when they are used in the Rule, as
evidenced by SEC Release No. 34-83885, dated August 20, 2018.
The City shall notify the MSRB, in a timely manner, of any failure by the City to provide
financial information or operating data in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section by the

(d)Filings with the MSRB.
All financial information, operating data, financial statements, notices and other
documents provided to the MSRB in accordance with this Section shall be provided in an
electronic format prescribed by the MSRB and shall be accompanied by identifying information
as prescribed by the MSRB.
(e)Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments.
The City shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section
for so long as, but only for so long as, the City remains an “obligated person” with respect to the
Certificates within the meaning of the Rule, except that the City in any event will give the notice
required by subsection (c) of this Section of any Certificate calls and defeasance that cause the
City to be no longer such an “obligated person.”
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners
of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City undertakes to
provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it
has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to
235
202323571.2/100130859130 30
provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the
City’s financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information
provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The
City does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness
to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE
CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
constitute a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the City under federal and state securities laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section may be
amended by the City from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances resulting from a change
in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of
operations of the City, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have
permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates
in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule
to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other
provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding Certificates
consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally
recognized bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests
of the Holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates. The provisions of this Section may also
be amended from time to time or repealed by the City if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such provisions are invalid,
but only if and to the extent that reservation of the City’s right to do so would not prevent an
underwriter of the initial public offering of the Certificates from lawfully purchasing or selling
Certificates in such offering. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include
with any amended financial information or operating data next provided pursuant to subsection
(b) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the
impact of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.
Section 29.Control and Custody of Certificates. The Mayor of the City shall be and
is hereby authorized to take and have charge of all necessary orders and records pending
investigation by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, including the printing and supply of
definitive Certificates, and shall take and have charge and control of the Initial Certificate(s)
pending the approval thereof by the Attorney General, the registration thereof by the Comptroller
of Public Accounts, and the delivery thereof to the Purchaser.
Section 30.Further Procedures. Any one or more of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City
Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, City Secretary and Deputy City Secretary
236
202323571.2/100130859131 31
are hereby expressly authorized, empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to
do and perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name
and on behalf of the City all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents, whether
mentioned herein or not, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and
provisions of this Ordinance and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates. In addition,
prior to the initial delivery of the Certificates, the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Assistant
City Manager, Director of Finance, City Secretary, Deputy City Secretary or Bond Counsel to the
City are each hereby authorized and directed to approve any changes or corrections to this
Ordinance or to any of the documents authorized and approved by this Ordinance: (i) in order to
cure any ambiguity, formal defect or omission in this Ordinance or such other document; or (ii) as
requested by the Attorney General of the State of Texas or his representative to obtain the
approval of the Certificates by the Attorney General and if such officer or counsel determines that
such changes are consistent with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance, which determination
shall be final. In the event that any officer of the City whose signature shall appear on any
document shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such document, such signature
nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained
in office until such delivery.
Section 31.Bond Counsel’s Opinion. The Purchaser’s obligation to accept delivery
of the Certificates is subject to being furnished a final opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP,
Dallas, Texas, approving such Certificates as to their validity, said opinion to be dated and
delivered as of the date of delivery and payment for such Certificates. A true and correct
reproduction of said opinion is hereby authorized to be printed on the definitive Certificates or an
executed counterpart thereof shall accompany the global Certificates deposited with DTC. The
City Council confirms the continuation of the engagement of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP as
the City's bond counsel.
Section 32.CUSIP Numbers. CUSIP numbers may be printed or typed on the
definitive Certificates. It is expressly provided, however, that the presence or absence of CUSIP
numbers on the definitive Certificates shall be of no significance or effect as regards the legality
thereof and neither the City nor the attorneys approving said Certificates as to legality are to be
held responsible for CUSIP numbers incorrectly printed or typed on the definitive Certificates.
Section 33.Benefits of Ordinance. Nothing in this Ordinance, expressed or implied,
is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the City, the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the Holders, any right, remedy, or claim, legal or equitable, under or by
reason of this Ordinance. This Ordinance in its entirety is intended to be and is for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the City, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Holders.
Section 34.Inconsistent Provisions. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof, all
ordinances, orders, or resolutions, or parts thereof, which are in conflict or inconsistent with any
provision of this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict and the provisions
of this Ordinance shall be and remain controlling as to the matters contained herein.
Section 35.Construction of Terms. If appropriate in the context of this Ordinance,
words of the singular number shall be considered to include the plural, words of the plural number
shall be considered to include the singular, and words of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender
shall be considered to include the other genders.
Section 36.Incorporation of Findings and Determinations. The findings and
determinations of the City Council contained in the preamble hereof are hereby incorporated by
237
202323571.2/100130859132 32
reference and made a part of this Ordinance for all purposes as if the same were restated in full
in this Section.
Section 37.Governing Law. This Ordinance shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America.
Section 38.Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 39.Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof
to any circumstance shall be held to be invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance or the application
thereof to other circumstances shall nevertheless be valid, and this governing body hereby
declares that this Ordinance would have been enacted without such invalid provision.
Section 40.Public Meeting. It is officially found, determined, and declared that the
meeting at which this Ordinance is adopted was open to the public and public notice of the time,
place, and subject matter of the public business to be considered at such meeting, including this
Ordinance, was given, all as required by Texas Government Code, Chapter 551, as amended.

after its passage and approval in accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code,
