TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: August 10, 2026
FROM: Tamara Smith, MSL, Assistant Town Manager
AGENDA ITEM: Presentation and discussion of updates on the gateway, water tower, and
wayfinding signage design project. (Tamara Smith, Assistant Town Manager)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Town of Trophy Club’s Strategic Plan focus area, Promote Quality of Life, includes an FY
2026 initiative to develop a comprehensive wayfinding and directional signage program that
enhances the Town's brand identity, monumentation, and street signage. During the Council
work session, the Town Council will discuss Task #2: Collaborating with the consultant to
develop design concepts that reflect the Town’s brand identity.
The project scope includes assessing existing signage, developing cohesive design standards,
specifying durable materials, planning for installation, establishing long-term maintenance
strategies, and engaging stakeholders throughout the design process. The project is being
implemented in two phases. Phase I includes the current planning and design work, while
Phase II will focus on implementation and construction. Phase II costs will be programmed
annually through the Capital Improvement Plan. Upon completion of Phase I, the Town will
have a comprehensive signage master plan for gateway monuments, water tower signage, and
community wayfinding.
The Town issued a request for proposals (RFP) in June 2025. Following an evaluation of the
proposals, the review team selected Olsson, Inc. as the firm that best aligned with the project's
requirements and objectives. Olsson's team combines technical expertise, creative design, and
strong project management experience to develop functional, durable, and visually distinctive
public spaces. On September 22, 225, the Town Council approved the professional services
agreement with Olsson for an amount not to exceed $111,300.
Olsson and the Town have completed Phase 100 (Discovery and Assessment) and Phase 200
(Design Generation and Engagement) under the contract. During Phase 200, Olsson provided
two opportunities for resident and stakeholder engagement. The first consisted of a three-day
design charrette that explored concepts, developed preliminary sketches, and gathered
stakeholder input. This process resulted in two conceptual design alternatives utilizing
materials appropriate for Trophy Club. The second engagement opportunity involved
presenting the two concepts, along with associated material options, through a community
survey to gather broader public input.
Page 4 of 191
The charrette included eight participants representing local businesses and Town boards and
commissions. The subsequent survey generated 460 responses and asked participants to
provide feedback on three topics:
• Preferred overall monument, gateway, and wayfinding design.
• Preferred monument base material.
• Preferred street sign color.
Survey results showed that 47.28% of respondents preferred Option A, while 40.52% preferred
Option B (images provided below).
Option A:
Option B:
Regarding monument materials, 47.15% of respondents preferred a combination of brick and
Austin stone. For street signage, 44.74% preferred retaining the existing green street signs,
while the second-highest response (17.54%) indicated no preference.
Page 5 of 191
In April 2026, the Town Council conducted a workshop to review the project’s design progress
to date. During the April workshop, the Town Council selected Option A as the preferred
monument design and included the following design direction:
• Utilize brick and limestone as the primary monument material.
• Incorporate planter boxes or ground-level landscaping around monument features.
• Develop concepts without beacon lighting or lanterns while retaining those features as
optional design elements.
• Evaluate both backlighting and uplighting options.
• Exclude Town slogans from monument signage.
• Include the wording “Incorporated in 1985.”
• Retain the star design elements and evaluate the potential use of red, white, and blue
uplighting.
The project is currently in Phase 300 (Final Master Plan Design). During this phase, Olsson is
preparing final 3D renderings that incorporate feedback received during Phases 100 and 200,
Council direction, and design considerations related to motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, long-
term maintenance, and sustainability.
This work session item will provide the Town Council with an opportunity to review the revised
concepts and the final master plan renderings. Following Council discussion, staff will
coordinate with Olsson to incorporate any final revisions. Staff anticipates presenting the
completed Wayfinding Master Plan for Council consideration at a future meeting.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: The professional services agreement with Olsson is in an amount not to
exceed $111,300 and is funded through the FY 2026 Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund budget. Future
implementation costs will be programmed through the Capital Improvement Program over
multiple fiscal years, with funding allocated to the appropriate funds based on each project
components.

INTRODUCTION
A wayfinding and gateway system is more than a collection of signs; it is the physical expression of
a community’s identity and values, and helps establish a sense of place. For residents, visitors, and
businesses alike, these elements shape first impressions, guide movement throughout a community,
and reinforce the character of a town. In a community like Trophy Club, where community pride,
quality of life, and connectivity are defining characteristics, a cohesive and recognizable system of
gateways, wayfinding, destination markers, and community identifiers plays a critical role in how
people experience the town every day.
The Trophy Club Wayfinding and Gateway Master Plan establishes a holistic framework for how the
community welcomes, guides, and connects people throughout the town. Rather than approaching
signage as isolated elements, the plan envisions a coordinated family of features that work together as
one unified system. From major roadway entries and highway-oriented signage to neighborhood-scale
directional elements, park markers, civic identifiers, and branded water towers serving as vertical
community beacons, each component contributes to a consistent visual language that reflects Trophy
Club’s identity while improving navigation, visibility, and user experience.
A successful wayfinding system does more than direct traffic; it creates clarity, confidence, and
continuity. It helps residents navigate daily life, connects people to parks, trails, neighborhoods,
civic destinations, schools, and commercial areas, and assists visitors in discovering the community’s
unique assets and experiences. A coordinated identity system also strengthens Trophy Club’s
community brand, supports local destinations and events, enhances the visitor experience, and
reinforces the Town’s image within the broader region. The system must function cohesively across
multiple scales and environments, balancing visibility, readability, aesthetics, and durability while
responding to the unique context of Trophy Club’s roadways, parks, civic spaces, neighborhoods, and
community destinations.
Beyond navigation, the system is intended to reinforce a memorable sense of arrival and strengthen
the pride and character that define Trophy Club. Each element should integrate seamlessly with the
surrounding built and natural environment through coordinated architecture, materials, landscaping,
lighting, and corridor character, ensuring the system contributes positively to the overall visual quality
of the community rather than functioning solely as standalone signage.
Together, these elements form a comprehensive and interconnected system that supports both the
functional and experiential qualities of Trophy Club. While each sign type serves a unique purpose, the
strength of the overall framework lies in the consistency of its design language, placement strategy,
and relationship to the community’s identity. From prominent gateways and roadway wayfinding to
destination markers and water towers serving as vertical beacons across the community, each element
contributes to a layered family of features that collectively shape the visual experience of Trophy Club.
The following sections outline the hierarchy of gateway, wayfinding, marker, and identity elements
that establish the Town’s unified wayfinding and gateway system.

Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 5
GATEWAYS
Gateways serve as the ceremonial front doors to the community and to key districts within Trophy Club. These elements are designed to create
memorable arrival experiences, reinforce community identity, and establish a strong visual sense of place. Located at prominent entry corridors
and strategic intersections, gateways provide both recognition and transition, signaling arrival into Trophy Club through coordinated architecture,
materials, landscaping, lighting, and branding.
WAYFINDING
Wayfinding elements provide directional guidance and orientation throughout the community, helping users navigate efficiently while reinforcing the
town’s visual identity. The wayfinding system is organized into multiple scales that respond to different travel speeds, roadway environments, and
user needs.
COMMUNITY WAYFINDING. Community wayfinding consists of localized directional signage throughout the town that guides
residents and visitors to neighborhoods, civic destinations, parks, trails, schools, and commercial areas. These elements are scaled for local
roadways and community environments, prioritizing readability, consistency, and ease of navigation while strengthening the overall identity of
the town.
MARKERS
Markers are smaller-scale identity and destination elements that reinforce specific places and community assets within Trophy Club. While
wayfinding signs guide movement, markers help define and celebrate destinations.
CIVIC / INSTITUTIONAL MARKERS. Civic and institutional markers identify important public facilities and community destinations
such as Town Hall, public buildings, schools, libraries, and community gathering spaces. These elements reinforce the civic identity of Trophy
Club while improving visibility and recognition of public assets.
PARK MARKERS. Park markers identify parks, trails, recreational facilities, and open spaces throughout the community. These elements
help establish a connected parks and recreation identity while enhancing visibility, accessibility, and awareness of Trophy Club’s recreational
amenities and trail systems.
WATER TOWERS. Water towers serve as large-scale community identifiers and visual landmarks within Trophy Club’s built environment.
Functioning as vertical beacons across the community and region, these highly visible structures provide an opportunity to reinforce branding,
identity, and civic pride at a scale unmatched by traditional signage. Through coordinated graphics, lighting, and branding treatments, water
towers become iconic elements within the overall wayfinding and gateway system, strengthening Trophy Club’s recognition and presence
within the broader region.

GATEWAYS
The Gateway, Water Tower, and Wayfinding Signage project was a combined effort between
Town Council, Town Staff, and the Stakeholder Committee. The design team led the
stakeholders through a process of discovery identifying specific goals and regional materials
that tie into the community as well as identifying locations that best fit each type of sign.

Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 9
One of three gateway locations along Highway
114 is positioned at Trophy Club Drive, a
location that welcomes both visitors and
residents into the community. This gateway
features a monument sign situated within
the existing median, framed by two masonry
columns on each side of the roadway. The
monument is anchored with a combination of
brick and cut limestone, creating a strong and
cohesive architectural presence. Each column
incorporates the Town of Trophy Club’s “TC”
logo and star emblem.
The median monument will include double-
sided signage that reflects the Town’s current
branding and features 18-inch “Trophy Club”
lettering to ensure clear visibility for motorists
entering from the Highway 114 frontage road.
At the base of the monument, the Town’s
incorporation date of 1985 will be displayed,
reinforcing community heritage.
To further enhance the arrival experience,
precast concrete stars will be placed beyond
the median monument, extending the
welcoming sequence and guiding visitors into
the community.

TROPHY CLUB DRIVE | NIGHT
The gateway is designed to create an attractive and welcoming entrance both during the day and at night. Ground-mounted uplighting will be
incorporated to highlight the decorative brick and stone elements, ensuring the monument remains fully visible and visually striking after dark. This
lighting will enhance the architectural details and provide a cohesive, illuminated gateway experience for visitors entering the community.

Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 13
The west gateway location along Highway
114 is situated at Trophy Lake Drive and
serves as a complementary entry point into
the community. This gateway features a
monument sign of similar scale and design
to the Trophy Club Drive location, positioned
within the existing median and flanked by
two masonry columns on each side of the
roadway. The monument is anchored with
brick and cut limestone masonry, establishing
a cohesive and durable architectural
character.
Each column incorporates the Town of Trophy
Club’s “TC” logo and star emblem, reinforcing
the Town’s identity. The median monument
will include double-sided signage that
reflects current Town branding and features
18-inch “Trophy Club” lettering to provide
clear visibility for motorists entering from
the Highway 114 frontage road. At the base
of the monument, the Town’s incorporation
date 1985 will be displayed, celebrating the
community’s history.
A landscaped planter will be incorporated
at the front of the sign, allowing for rotating
annual plantings that enhance seasonal color
and create an inviting visual experience for
visitors.
To extend the welcoming experience, precast
concrete stars will be installed beyond the
median monument, creating a continued
visual rhythm and guiding visitors into the
community.
Page 74 of 191

The west gateway along Highway 114 will
be thoughtfully illuminated to create a
welcoming arrival experience for both visitors
and residents after dark. Integrated LED
strip uplighting will be incorporated into the
monument, casting a warm, even wash of
light that enhances the architectural details
and highlights the Town of Trophy Club’s
logos.
Precast concrete stars located within the
median will also feature integrated, color-
changing LED uplighting. These fixtures can
be programmed to display dynamic color
sequences or a single color, allowing the Town
to commemorate special events, holidays,
or community celebrations. This adaptable
lighting design adds visual interest while
reinforcing community identity and pride.

Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 17
The east gateway location along Highway
114 is situated at Trophy Wood Drive. This
gateway builds upon the established branding
and material palette introduced at the Trophy
Club Drive and Trophy Lake Drive locations.
Due to a more constrained right-of-way, the
design has been thoughtfully adapted to fit
the available space while maintaining a strong
and recognizable identity.
The gateway features a central median
column element accented with integrated
lighting and the Town of Trophy Club’s “TC”
logo. On both the east and west sides of the
roadway, smaller pedestrian-scale gateway
elements invite visitors into the community,
creating a more intimate arrival experience at
this eastern entrance.
These masonry gateway elements will utilize
the same brick and cut limestone materials
to ensure consistency across all gateway
locations. Each includes the Trophy Club “TC”
logo, and the base of the median monument
will display the Town’s incorporation
date—1985 highlighting the community’s
history and heritage.
Precast concrete stars will be positioned
beyond the median monument, continuing
the welcoming sequence and guiding visitors
as they enter into the community.

The east gateway along Highway 114 will be
illuminated to create a welcoming nighttime
experience for residents and an engaging
entrance for visitors to the nearby restaurants
and amenities.
Integrated LED strip uplighting will be
incorporated into the monument elements,
casting a warm, even wash that highlights
the unique architectural details as well as the
Town of Trophy Club’s logos and lettering.
The central median monument will also
feature two decorative light fixtures designed
to match existing streetlights, ensuring a
cohesive streetscape and reinforcing the
overall visual identity of the corridor.

ALTERNATE ENTRANCE DESIGN
Page 85 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 25
Depending on project phasing, available
funding, and material costs at the time of
construction, the gateway entrances along
Highway 114 may be implemented in phases.
This alternative gateway concept features
stone masonry columns positioned on either
side of the roadway, with landscaped center
medians inspired by the median design
recommendations outlined in the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.
To maintain a cohesive identity throughout
the community, the columns will incorporate
the same brick and stone masonry materials
used at other gateway locations. Each
gateway will also prominently feature the
Town of Trophy Club branding and “TC” logo,
creating a recognizable and consistent sense
of arrival at key entry points throughout the
Town.

COMMUNITY WAYFINDING
The proposed wayfinding elements are positioned to provide clear directional guidance for visitors
as they make their way through the Town. Important destinations are highlighted and include civic
buildings, parks, trails, schools, and commercial areas. The wayfinding materials correspond with the
gateway monuments and help strengthen the overall identity of the Town.
Page 88 of 191

Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 29
WAYFINDING SIGNAGE
Wayfinding signage plays a critical role in creating an intuitive and welcoming experience, as illustrated in the location map to the left. The proposed wayfinding
elements are positioned to provide clear directional guidance for visitors as they make their way through the Town, establishing a cohesive network that connects
key destinations. Along primary corridors and at major decision points, location markers identify gateways, community wayfinding nodes, civic and institutional
sites, and trailheads, reinforcing a clear hierarchy of movement that supports both vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Important destinations are highlighted and
include civic buildings, parks, trails, schools, and commercial areas, ensuring users can easily orient themselves and navigate between activity centers such as the
Town Center, Trophy Club Commons, and surrounding open space systems.
The plan segment depicting each location marker is supported by imagery of example wayfinding columns, which feature multi-directional blade signs, consistent
typography, and recognizable symbols paired with arrows to guide users efficiently. These columns emphasize legibility, durability, and visibility at the human scale
while also reflecting a strong sense of place through coordinated materials and branding elements, including the “TC” mark. The wayfinding materials correspond
with the gateway monuments and help strengthen the overall identity of the Town, unifying the built environment and enhancing the overall user experience.

HIGH SCHOOL SIGNAGE
CONCEPT A
This concept emphasizes the high school’s name and logo, while incorporating opportunities at the base to showcase state championships.
Complementary brick and stone materials would be utilized to align with the design of the Town’s entrance monument signage.
The design team developed concepts for an updated Byron Nelson High School Sign that complements the Town’s proposed monument signage while
incorporating the school’s branding and recognizing its state championship achievements.
Funding for the championship recognition elements is envisioned as a shared investment among the high school, private donors, and the broader
community, creating a lasting tribute to the school’s athletic and academic achievements.
Page 105 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 45
CONCEPT B
This approach places emphasis on the school’s identity and achievements by featuring its logo and state championships prominently. The base
element anchors the design with the high school name, while matching brick and stone materials help maintain consistency with the Town’s
monument signage.

MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
Periodic observation of the Town’s signage and site amenities can help reduce long-
term maintenance needs and extend the lifespan of community assets.
Page 114 of 191
54 |
MATERIAL SELECTION AND DURABILITY
Maintenance of community assets can place a significant burden on
some communities. Thoughtful material selection can greatly reduce the
costs associated with maintaining site amenities and signage. Advances
in the design and efficiency of exterior LED lighting have also helped
extend the lifespan of illuminated signs and site features. The following
recommendations are intended to support long-term maintenance and
enhance the durability of the community’s signage and site amenities.
Choosing Appropriate and Durable Materials
• Masonry building materials, such as brick and cut stone veneers, are
widely used for their longevity and relatively low maintenance in the
Texas environment. These materials perform well under the region’s
wide temperature fluctuations and intense UV exposure.
• Steel accent elements used in signage lettering and detailing should
be fabricated in accordance with local codes and include appropriate
primers, finish coatings, and sealants to minimize corrosion and
prevent UV-related fading.
• Lighting components should incorporate current LED technology,
which can extend fixture lifespans to 10 years or more before
requiring re-lamping or replacement.
• Landscape materials used within planters or at the base of signage
should be selected not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also for
their growth habits and mature size. Proper selection helps prevent
overgrowth, ensures visibility of signage elements, and reduces long-
term maintenance needs.
Page 115 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 55
BI-ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
• Routine inspections for any structural, electrical and landscape issues
can help avoid costly fixes if left unattended.
CLEANING
• While appropriate material selection can minimize maintenance
needs, periodic cleaning of signage may still be necessary depending
on site-specific conditions.
• Power washing should be used with caution to avoid damaging mortar
joints or painted surfaces. When using cleaning products, always
test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the solution does not
adversely affect the appearance of the sign before full application.
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
• Sign locations should be regularly reviewed to ensure that all text,
particularly near ground level, remains clearly visible. Annual
plantings should be appropriately selected and maintained to prevent
obstruction or interference with signage.
• Care should also be taken when mowing near monument signs to
avoid damage to signage structures and surrounding landscape
features.

OPINION OF PROBABLE COSTS
An important step in the master planning process is the development of a conceptual, planning-level Opinion of
Probable Cost (OPC). This estimate reflects current assumptions regarding construction timing, market conditions,
and the availability of materials. It also assumes that all monument elements are constructed concurrently. If project
components are added or removed, updated OPCs should be prepared. As the project advances, future cost opinions
should be refined to reflect design development and the selection of specific materials.
In providing opinions of probable construction cost, it is recognized that neither the Client nor Olsson has control
over the costs of labor, equipment, or materials, nor over the contractor’s methods of pricing or bidding. These cost
opinions are based on Olsson’s professional judgment and experience and do not constitute a warranty, expressed or
implied, that contractor bids or negotiated prices will align with the Client’s budget or the estimated costs provided.

APPENDIX A
DISCOVERY
Olsson facilitated a design charrette with a diverse stakeholder group from the Town of Trophy Club, including
representatives from the local business community, the Town Art and Town Park Boards, and Town Staff.
The process began with a kickoff meeting focused on visioning and discovery, where participants were encouraged to
share ideas, identify priorities, and define what success for the project should look like. The Discovery Phase laid the
groundwork for the Project Team to begin developing meaningful and responsive project concepts.
Page 124 of 191
64 |
APPENDIX A | DISCOVERY
The Stakeholder Group was asked to provide their thoughts on Trophy Club’s personality and style in order to better understand how to design and style the
Town’s gateways, monumentation, and wayfinding. The following topic areas summarize those findings from the stakeholders’ responses.
Page 125 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 65
The Stakeholder Group was asked to provide their thoughts on Trophy Club’s personality and style in order to better understand how to design and style the
Town’s gateways, monumentation, and wayfinding. The following topic areas summarize those findings from the stakeholders’ responses.
TOWN DESCRIPTORS
Stakeholders described Trophy Club as an
upscale, family-oriented, and socially cohesive
place with a strong sense of patriotism. The
Town’s character was further refined with
references to golf, safety, and “Hallmark
movie town” feel, suggesting a traditional and
visually appealing community.
MATERIAL PREFERENCE
Stakeholders indicated a strong preference
for high-quality, durable, and more traditional
materials, particularly stone, brick, and metal.
These materials convey a cohesive upscale
character that is consistent with existing
community features such as limestone entry
monuments and metal sculptures.
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL
Internally, residents described the Town as a
safe community defined by kindness, unity and
being family-friendly. Externally, stakeholders
shared that the Town is viewed as a welcoming
and upscale place quality is prioritized, and
there is a patriotic spirit to the community.
Page 126 of 191
66 |
DIGITAL SIGNAGE
Digital or electronic signage received limited
support, with some respondents indicating
it should be used sparingly or not at all.
Supportive stakeholders indicated that digital
signage should be located in parks, community
centers, or primary entrances to the Town.
WAYFINDING DESTINATIONS
Responses indicate a strong desire for a user-
friendly system that helps residents and visitors
navigate to essential services, major activity
areas, and community hubs. The most frequently
identified wayfinding destinations include civic
facilities (e.g., Town Hall/Town Center, police and
fire stations).
NAMING CONVENTIONS
The Stakeholder Group overwhelmingly
decided that the Town’s name and logo
should be incorporated in the monument
signage. Additional feedback included the
Texas Town of Patriotism, use of a tagline, and
the use of the star symbol within the signage.
Page 127 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 67
SIZE + SCALE
Respondents prefer signage and gateway
elements that are prominent enough to
be easily seen and read from vehicles -
particularly at key entry points. However, there
is some disagreement about how large the
monument should be, with some comments
indicating it should be large enough to be
seen from Interstate 114, while others voice
concern that the signage would be so large as
to become obnoxious.
THEMES
The Stakeholder Group favors a design
approach that is rooted in traditional character
and local identity, while allowing for select
contemporary influences to keep the aesthetic
a bit more modern.
Page 128 of 191
68 |
WAYFINDING MAPPING
Stakeholders worked collaboratively to identify key gateway and monumentation locations throughout the community, as well as priority areas for
wayfinding signage. Identifying these locations was critical to ensure residents and visitors can easily navigate to popular destinations and community
spaces throughout Trophy Club.
Page 129 of 191
Town of Trophy Club Master Plan | 69
APPENDIX B
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Building upon insights gathered during the Discovery Phase, the Project Team translated stakeholder input into a
series of preliminary design concepts. These concepts explored potential approaches to layout, programming, and
aesthetic character, reflecting the priorities and ideas expressed during the charrette. The Preliminary Design Phase
provided an opportunity to visualize how key themes, such as community identity and functional improvements, could
be incorporated into the project area, serving as a foundation for further refinement and discussion.

Director of Finance)
April Duvall, Director of Finance, presented the proposed FY 2026–27 operating
budget, providing an overview of projected revenues and expenditures, taxable values,

levels, overtime and Fire Department staffing, long-term financial planning, personnel

Finance)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: The Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) and the Tarrant

$3,518,068,293. This amount consists of $3,351,117,933 for properties located in Denton
County and $166,950,360 for properties located in Tarrant County. The appraisal rolls include
$45,276,430 in taxable value associated with properties that remain under review.
Upon adoption of the Town’s property tax rate, the 2026 tax levy will be calculated.
Anticipated property tax collections will be allocated between maintenance and operations
expenses and debt service in accordance with the adopted tax rate and FY 2026–27 Budget.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A

TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: August 10, 2026
FROM: Matt Cox, Director of Community Development
AGENDA ITEM: Consider ratifying the renewal of an existing one-year agreement with LaTour
Tree Service, Inc. for FY 2026, and authorizing the Town Manager to renew
the agreement for two (2) additional one-year terms during FY 2027 and FY
2028 for as needed creek inspections, maintenance, and sediment and debris
removal in an annual amount not to exceed $70,000 each fiscal year, subject
to annual appropriations during FY 2027 and FY 2028, and authorizing the
Town Manager to execute related documents. (Matt Cox, Director of
Community Development)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: The Town of Trophy Club has utilized LaTour Tree Service for
several years to inspect and maintain Town-maintained creeks and to provide related on-call
cleanup, tree removal, and debris removal services. These services support the maintenance of
the Town’s drainage infrastructure and help reduce flooding risks by identifying and removing
obstructions that may impede drainage.
In 2024, the Town established a multiyear service agreement with LaTour Tree Service. The
agreement is dated October 1, 2024, and establishes an initial service term from November 12,
2024, through September 30, 2025. It also provides options for three additional one-year
extensions, with a 5% annual increase in service rates. Total compensation over the multi-year
contract is not expected to exceed $258,500 over the four-year period with each year not
exceeding $70,000. Because the agreement’s potential cost exceeded the Town Manager’s
purchasing authority, staff intended to present it to the Town Council for consideration and
authorization. During a subsequent review, staff determined that the agreement had not been
presented to the Town Council as intended.
LaTour Tree Service has provided services consistent with the general scope and pricing
established in the agreement. This item is presented for the Town Council to approve and ratify
the agreement, authorize payment for properly invoiced and accepted services performed
under the agreement, and authorize the Town Manager to execute any necessary renewal or
related documents, subject to the agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount and the availability
of appropriated funding.
Approval of this item will formally ratify the agreement and provide continued authorization
for creek inspection, maintenance, on-call cleanup, tree removal, and debris removal services
in accordance with its terms.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
Page 163 of 191
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for services provided during FY 2026 is available in the Storm
Drainage Utility Fund. Any future-year expenditures will be subject to the appropriation of
available funding in the applicable annual budget.
LEGAL REVIEW: Town Attorney, Dean Roggia, has reviewed the contract as to form and
legality.

TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: August 10, 2026
FROM: April Duvall, Director of Finance
AGENDA ITEM: Consider accepting the submission of the notice of a no-new-revenue tax rate
of $0.413391 per $100 taxable valuation and a voter-approval tax rate of
$0.423905 per $100 taxable valuation for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
2026 and ending September 30, 2027, setting a public hearing on Monday,
September 14, 2026 at 7:00 pm for an ad valorem tax rate not-to-exceed
$0.423905 per $100 taxable valuation for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
2026 and ending September 30, 2027. (April Duvall, Director of Finance)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: State law mandates that municipalities submit to their governing
boards and publish in a local newspaper a notice outlining their no-new-revenue and voter-
approval tax rates, along with the notice-and-hearing limit for the upcoming fiscal year.
• No-New-Revenue Tax Rate: This rate allows the public to evaluate the relationship
between taxes for the current and upcoming fiscal years. It generates the same amount
of tax revenue if applied to the same properties in both years.
• Voter-Approval Tax Rate: This rate is the highest tax rate the Town can set without
requiring an election.
Municipalities that levied property taxes in 2026 and plan to levy them in 2027 must calculate
both the no-new-revenue and voter-approval tax rates.
• Calculation of No-New-Revenue Tax Rate: Generally, this rate equals the prior year’s
taxes divided by the current taxable value of properties that were also on the tax roll in
the prior year.
• Calculation of Voter-Approval Tax Rate: This rate includes two components: an
operating and maintenance rate (M&O) and a debt rate (I&S). It allows municipalities to
raise 103.5% of the operating and maintenance money from the previous year, plus the
necessary debt rate.
State law also mandates the publication of these tax rates and a public hearing if the proposed
tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate.
Below are the no-new revenue (NNR) and voter-approval tax rates (VAR) for Trophy Club in the
Page 170 of 191
upcoming fiscal year (FY 2025-26).

Property Tax Rates - Calculated
RatesTexas law requires several calculated rates to be published. These rates provide comparison points and legal
limits, but they do not require Council to adopt that amount.
No-New-Revenue Rate Raises approximately the same property tax revenue from the same properties as the prior
year.
Voter-Approval Rate Highest rate that can generally be adopted without triggering an election, subject to statutory
calculations.
De Minimis Rate Alternate calculated rate available to smaller taxing units under state law.
Key takeaway: The calculated rates are reference points. Council may adopt a
lower rate than the published not-to-exceed rate.
Page 173 of 191
Tax Rate - Two Components
Maintenance &
Operations (M&O)
Funds day-to-day services such as public safety, parks,
streets, administration, and other municipal operations.
Interest & Sinking
(I&S)
Pays debt service for capital improvements and
infrastructure.
Council’s current direction is to balance both components
while keeping the combined tax rate flat.

Tax Rate Options Council Intent: Adopt the Current-Year
Rate
Setting the not-to-exceed rate at the Voter-Approval Rate keeps options open; the stated intent is to
adopt the current-year rate.

2026 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet Taxing Units Other Than School Districts or Water Districts
GENERAL INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 26.04(c) requires an officer or employee designated by the governing body to calculate the no-new-revenue (NNR) tax rate and
voter-approval tax rate for the taxing unit. These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The calculation process starts after the chief appraiser
delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or
employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the
governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District without Chapter 313 and JETI Agreements or
Comptroller Form 50-884 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District with Chapter 313 and JETI Agreements.
Water districts as defined under Water Code Section 49.001(1) do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-858 Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet
for Low Tax Rate and Developing Districts or Comptroller Form 50-860 Developed Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet.
The Comptroller’s office provides this worksheet to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical assistance
and not legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption.

SECTION 1: No-New-Revenue Tax Rate
The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount
of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax
rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.

Voter -Approval Tax Rate
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the tax rate. The type of taxing unit will
determine the rate components that apply to a taxing units’ overall voter-approval tax rate.
The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate
exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit’s debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate.
SECTION 2: Maintenance and Operations (M&O) and Debt Tax Rate Worksheet
This section calculates two components of the voter-approval tax rate:
1. Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year
plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and day-to-day operations.
2. Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the minimum dollar amount required to be paid toward debt service for the current year.27 This rate accounts for principal and interest on
bonds and other debt secured by property tax revenue.

SECTION 3: Adjustments for Additional Sales Tax to Reduce Property Taxes
Cities, counties and hospital districts may levy a sales tax specifically to reduce property taxes. Local voters by election must approve imposing or abolishing the additional sales
tax. If approved, the taxing unit must reduce its NNR and voter-approval tax rates to offset the expected sales tax revenue.
This section should only be completed by a county, city or hospital district that is required to adjust its NNR tax rate and/or voter-approval tax rate because it adopted the
additional sales tax.

SECTION 5: Unused Increment Rate
The unused increment rate is the rate equal to the sum of the prior 3 years Foregone Revenue Amounts divided by the current taxable value. 47 The Foregone Revenue Amount
for each year is equal to that year’s adopted tax rate subtracted from that year’s voter-approval tax rate adjusted to remove the unused increment rate multiplied by that year’s
current total value. 48
The difference between the adopted tax rate and adjusted voter-approval tax rate is considered zero in the following scenarios:
• a tax year in which a taxing unit affected by a disaster declaration calculates the tax rate under Tax Code Section 26.042; 49
• a tax year in which the municipality is a defunding municipality, as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a); 50 or
• after Jan. 1, 2022, a tax year in which the comptroller determines that the county implemented a budget reduction or reallocation described by Local Government
Code Section 120.002(a) without the required voter approval. 51

SECTION 7: Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate
In the tax year after the end of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a), a taxing unit that calculated its voter-approval tax rate in the manner
provided for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter-approval tax rate for that year. 55
This section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:
• directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year; and
• the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the
assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January 1 of the tax year in which the disaster
occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago.
Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the
disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1) or (2).

Notice About 2026 Tax Rates
Property tax rates in TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB.
This notice concerns the 2026 property tax rates for TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB. This notice
provides information about two tax rates used in adopting the current tax year's tax rate. The no-
new-revenue tax rate would Impose the same amount of taxes as last year if you compare properties
taxed in both years. In most cases, the voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate a taxing unit can
adopt without holding an election. In each case, these rates are calculated by dividing the total
amount of taxes by the current taxable value with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are
given per $100 of property value.
This year's no-new-revenue tax rate $0.413391/$100
This year's voter-approval tax rate $0.423905/$100
To see the full calculations, please visit 1505 E. McKinney Street Denton, TX 76209 for a copy of
the Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet.
