WORK SESSION
1. 2010-457-T Town Council Budget Discussion; discussion of the same.
(Presentation is attached.)
Finance Director DuBose stated that this is the ninth budget meeting with the Town Council. Per Council's
request at the September 20, 2010 meeting, Staff has made the following changes to the budget.
Communications were reduced by $3,000 for a total of $12,000, the Town Manager's salary was
decreased by $15,262 and $10,000 was added for moving expenses. Funding from salaries, equating to
three Park Full -Time Equivalents, was moved to Independent Labor.
Minutes dated September 27, 2010
DuBose stated that Staff is providing information and documents with two different tax rates. Example 1
reflects a $0.515 tax rate and provides $120,138 toward reserves and Example 2 reflects a $0.52 tax rate
and provides $158,560 toward reserves. The proposed budget was actually budget balanced at a $0.50
tax rate. DuBose explained the 2009-10 Fiscal Year Reserves and the projected reserves for Fiscal Year
2010-11.
Acting Town Manager Seidel asked the Council if they had any questions or directions prior to Regular
Session that will help move the Regular Session meeting in a methodical fashion.
Council member Cantrell thinks that the Staff has done a good job as much was done with reduced
headcount, but would still like to go with a $0.51 tax increase.
Council member Hoover said that he proposed $.052 last week and does not think that $0.51 allows
enough room to cover the necessary resources. Hoover is more comfortable with a tax rate of $0.515.
Mayor Pro Tem Rose is still looking at the Parks FTEs which was to cover the additional medians. Park
Director Adams said that he did not get a quote and he will be working on putting out an RFP. Adams
feels pretty comfortable putting the money into independent labor as Council will probably spend the
same amount in an RFP.
Council member Cantrell asked Town Attorney Adams if the Town is liable for the building of the Water
Tank. Adams stated that the Town is not and bond counsel has assured her of this. The Developer is
responsible for cost overruns.
Mayor White confirmed that if you have a fund budget and you plan to use it, it shows up as Revenue.
Council discussed revenues and expenses and DuBose stated that the cost of the budget was increased
by $89,000 and then Parks increased it even more. Council member Cantrell stated that the Council and
Staff need to get creative and start thinking outside of the box in order to save money and stop doing
what has always been done.
Finance Director DuBose responded that this is the first time the Town has had a $5 Million Park Bond.
Acting Town Manager Seidel stated that each department budget is considerable less unless there was a
cost associated to Employees transferring from the SEMO. The Departments were charged to hold the
line or reduce. The Park Bond brought additional costs for operations like the Splash Park. The
minuscule increase contributes to the COLA expenses.
Council member Cantrell does not believe that the Finance Staff will have as much work to do once the
Town and TCMUD No. 1 split based upon the number of transactions reported in the budget book. Acting
Town Manager Seidel feels that the Finance Department and other departments work a lot of hours in
order to provide services to the Council and to community.
Finance Director DuBose stated that the $5 Million Park Bond added a substantial workload to the Staff
for the next three years. The Town also has a PID that has been very time consuming. Acting Town
Manager Seidel stated that Staff is really trying to create efficiencies while balancing a work/life balance.
Seidel appreciates Council recognizing the hard work Staff does each and every day.
Mayor White advised that Council needs to agree on the tax rate and budget when voting during Regular
Session. Mayor Pro Tem Rose is comfortable with $0.515. Mayor White would be comfortable with the
$0.515, although this is not where she wants the rate to be. White asked the Council to remember that
the Park Bond had originally projected a 10% tax increase and Staff has reduced it to a 4.5%.
Council member Cantrell reminded the Council that they have to agree because if the vote does not pass,
the tax rate will go back to last year's rate and the Town cannot afford that.
The Invocation was offered by Council member Cantrell.
Minutes dated September 27, 2010 2
The Pledges were led by Council member Hoover.
CITIZEN PRESENTATIONS:
No speakers addressed the Council.
The Public Hearing opened 7:12 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING
2. 2010-517-T Town Council to conduct a Public Hearing relative to the Service and
Assessment Plan for Authorized Services (Emergency Services) for the Trophy Club
Public Improvement District No. 1 (The Highlands at Trophy Club), the Assessment Roll,
Levy of Special Assessments against the Property in PID No. 1 and matters contained in
the proposed Ordinance.
Notice of the Public Hearing was published on September 15, 2010.
Susan Edstrom, 269 Oak Hill Drive — Asked the Council to consider the rate increase for the Park Bonds,
no public opposition regarding the published rate tax increase of $0.53. Need to think about the funds for
the Parks, Police, etc. Encouraged the Council to keep planning for the future and do the $0.52, this is
not a wringing of the hands; this is a budget with minimal increase.
3. 2010-518-T Town Council to conduct a Public Hearing relative to the Service and
Assessment Plan for Service and Assessment Plan and Updated Assessment Roll for
Town of Trophy Club Public Improvement District No.1 (The Highlands at Trophy Club);
adopting findings and other related provisions; and providing an effective date.
This annual update also includes an amendment as a result of previously approved zoning changes for
Neighborhood 8. This Service and Assessment Plan is related to the assessment for repayment of the
bond debt for the construction of infrastructure within the PID.
No speakers addressed the Council.
The Public Hearing closed at 7:16 p.m.
REGULAR SESSION
4. 2010-512-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding a Proclamation declaring
September 30, 2010 as Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce Day in Trophy Club
commemorating the grand opening of their new location.
Sally Michalak, President of the Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce was in attendance to accept
the Proclamation.
The Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce will celebrate their Grand Opening on Thursday,
September 30, 2010 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Ribbon Cutting will be at 5:30 p.m.
Motion made by Council member Cantrell, seconded by Council member Hoover to approve a
Proclamation declaring September 30, 2010 as Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce Day in
Trophy Club commemorating the grand opening of their new location.
Motion passed unanimously without any discussion.
Minutes dated September 27, 2010
5. Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance approving a Change in the
Tariffs of Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid -Tex Division ("Atmos") as a result of a
settlement, finding rates set by the attached tariffs to be just and reasonable, finding that
additional costs are appropriate, and finding an effective date.
Town Attorney Adams explained that the Counsel for ATM Cities recommends that the settlement be
adopted. On balance the settlement is a fair one. The settlement of this year's RRM proceeding is
generally consistent with the adjustments made to Atmos' filing by ATM's experts at Utilitech. Further,
Counsel can recommend the extension of the RRM for two years with the elimination of the rate of return
true -up. Finally, Counsel recommends the adoption of the settlement on the replacement of steel service
lines most at -risk of explosion. It is very important that the safety of the lines most in need of replacement
be assured. On balance, when the settlement is looked at as a whole, it is worth adopting for all the
foregoing reasons. If a city should choose not to approve the settlement it is likely that the decision will
be appealed to the Railroad Commission by Atmos. An appeal of this sort could cost over $1 million,
including the rate case expenses of Atmos and the city. An appeal of this sort will be difficult to pursue if
most of the cities located in the Mid -Tex Division have adopted the settlement.
James Johnson from Atmos was in attendance to answer Council's questions.
Staff recommends approval.
Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, seconded by Council member Cantrell, to approve an Ordinance
approving a Change in the Tariffs of Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid -Tex Division ("Atmos") as a result of
a settlement, finding rates set by the attached tariffs to be just and reasonable, finding that additional
costs are appropriate, and finding an effective date.
Motion passed unanimously without any discussion.
6. 2010-498-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance of the Town
Council of the Town Of Trophy Club accepting and approving a Service and Assessment
Plan for Authorized Emergency Services and Assessment Roll for the Town Of Trophy
Club Public Improvement District No. 1 (The Highlands At Trophy Club); making a finding
of special benefit to the property in the District; levying special assessments against
property within the district; providing for payment, method of assessment, penalties and
interest; and providing an effective date.
Mayor Pro Tem Rose questioned the caption in the Ordinance does not specifically say Emergency
Services. Town Attorney Adams stated the Ordinance is okay as it adopts the plan. Council can add
Emergency Services for clarity purposes if they would like.
Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, seconded by Council member Cantrell to approve an Ordinance
of the Town Council of the Town Of Trophy Club accepting and approving a Service and Assessment
Plan for Authorized Emergency Services and Assessment Roll for the Town Of Trophy Club Public
Improvement District No. 1 (The Highlands At Trophy Club); making a finding of special benefit to the
property in the District; levying special assessments against property within the district; providing for
payment, method of assessment, penalties and interest; and providing an effective date as amended, by
adding "Emergency Services" in the caption.
Motion passed unanimously without any discussion.
2010-497-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance of the Town
Council of the Town Of Trophy Club accepting and approving an Annual Service Plan
Update, Amendments to the Service and Assessment Plan, and Updated Assessment Roll
for Town of Trophy Club Public Improvement District No. 1 (The Highlands at Trophy Club
Minutes dated September 27, 2010 4
- Bond Assessment); making and adopting findings and other related provisions; and
providing an effective date.
This annual update also includes an amendment as a result of previously approved zoning changes for
Neighborhood 8. This Service and Assessment Plan is related to the assessment for repayment of the
bond debt for the construction of infrastructure within the PID.
Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, seconded by Council member Hoover, to approve an Ordinance
of the Town Council of the Town Of Trophy Club accepting and approving a Service and Assessment
Plan for Authorized Emergency Services and Assessment Roll for the Town Of Trophy Club Public
Improvement District No. 1 (The Highlands At Trophy Club); making a finding of special benefit to the
property in the District; levying special assessments against property within the district; providing for
payment, method of assessment, penalties and interest; and providing an effective date.
Motion passed unanimously without any discussion.
8. 2010-519-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance adopting and
approving the Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010, and ending September
30, 2011.
The ordinance adopts the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 budget and makes the associated appropriations for
expenditures.
For this agenda item, as well as, items 2010-520, 2010-521 and 2010-522 Management has provided two
examples.
Larry Lentzer, 303 Ridge View Lane — Spoke for the residents who voted for the Park Bond knowing that
the Council would have to raise taxes.
Example 1 will reflect a tax rate of $.515 and Example 2 will reflect a tax rate of $.52.
Council member Cantrell stated that she is between a rock and hard place and would have thought that
the Budget Workshops would have allowed the Council to ask questions and discuss. Cantrell believes
that she is forced to vote on a budget that she is not prepared to vote on and the Council has two
members absent. If the vote is not unanimous the tax rate will default back to last year's rate and the
Town will not be able to pay for the Park Bond. Cantrell stated that Staff has yet to provide the Council
with their requests for a Request for Proposal for the Parks Department and Legal Services. Cantrell
does not think that the tax rate should be any higher than $0.505. Although it will be challenging and
painful the Council and Staff need to look at creative ways to save money. Had Council been able to
implement a Citizen Financial Committee to do a salary survey perhaps the budget could have been
reduced.
Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, seconded by Council member Hoover, to approve an Ordinance
adopting and approving the Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010, and ending September
30, 2011 at the tax rate of $.515 (Example 1).
Mayor Pro Tem Rose stated that he cannot stand before the citizens and tell them that this budget is the
most effective and efficient budget, but that this Council and Staff have worked very hard to get to this
figure.
Council member Hoover does not like to see a tax increase however; when looking down the road at
infrastructure, the PID and the Park Bond this tax increase is not near enough.
Mayor White stated that all have worked very hard on the budget and some of the challenges have
caused this process to be misleading and confusing. White feels that the budget will work this year but all
Minutes dated September 27, 2010 5
will have to work really hard to cut some costs and generate some revenues. White commended the
Council for their diligent work with the Goals and Objectives.
Acting Town Manager Seidel appreciates the work that he, Council and Staff have put forth in the budget
and the collaborative effort. All should have a better understanding of the budget and process and this
should be a continual process.
Motion passed unanimously without further discussion.
9. 2010-520-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance fixing and
levying Municipal Ad Valorem Taxes for the Town for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
2010, and ending September 30, 2011.
Example 1 will reflect a tax rate of $0.515 and Example 2 will reflect a tax rate of $0.52. The tax rate of
$0.515 per $100 valuation in the Example 1 Ordinance provides resources of $120,138 above operating
expenditures. That amount may be designated to reserves for future use including $20,138 for vehicle
and equipment replacement and $100,000 for future projects or expenditures.
The tax rate of $0.52 per $100 valuation in the Example 2 Ordinance provides resources of $158,560
above operating expenditures. That amount may be designated to reserves for future use including
$58,560 for vehicle and equipment replacement and $100,000 for future projects or expenditures.
Motion made by Council member Hoover, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, moving that property taxes
be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of $0.515 (Example 1).
Motion passed unanimously with Rose, Cantrell, White and Hoover voting in favor.
10. 2010-521-T Consider and take appropriate action to ratify the property tax increase
reflected in the previously approved Town Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
2010 and ending September 30, 2011.
In addition to adopting the budget and voting to set the tax rate, which we currently achieve via two (2)
different agenda items, Section 102.007 of the Texas Local Government Code provides that the adoption
of a budget that requires raising more revenue from property taxes than in the previous year also requires
a separate vote of the Council to ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget. The vote to ratify
the property tax increase is in addition to and separate from the vote to adopt the budget or the vote to
set the tax rate required by Chapter 26 of the Tax Code, or other law.
Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, seconded by Council member Hoover, moving that the property
tax rate be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of $0.515, which is effectively a 9.6 percent increase in
the tax rate. (Example 1).
Motion passed unanimously with Rose, Cantrell, White and Hoover voting in favor.
11. 2010-522-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution approving the tax
roll of the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) and Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD)
for 2010.
Denton Central Appraisal District and Tarrant Appraisal District provides a certified tax roll to the Town of
Trophy Club annually which includes all taxable property within Trophy Club. State law requires that the
Town Council approve and accept such certified roll based on the adopted property tax rate. Once the
tax rate is adopted the Council will approve the attached resolution indicating which example in Exhibit B
Minutes dated September 27, 2010 6
relates to the adopted rate. Example 1 will reflect a tax rate of $.515 and Example 2 will reflect a tax rate
of $.52.
Motion made by Council member Hoover, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Rose, to approve a Resolution
approving the tax roll of the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) and Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD)
for 2010 at a tax rate of $.515 (Example 1).
Motion passed unanimously without further discussion.
12. 2010-523-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding the approval of a Resolution
repealing Resolutions 2008-12, 2009-12 and 2009-19 and adopting a new Resolution
appointing citizens and Council liaisons to serve Town Boards and Commissions; and
providing an effective date.
This Resolution repeals prior resolutions appointing residents to serve on Town Boards and Commissions
and designating Council members to serve as Liaisons to those Boards and Commissions.

Subject: Upcoming tax rate vote
Mayor,
I am sorry I will miss this coming Monday's meeting. If you wish to pass this along to the other council
members I would appreciate it, though I do not think it needs to be read out loud at the meeting Monday
night, but it can be part of the record I guess.
As I stated last Monday night, I am willing to mildly tolerate a 3 to 4 cent tax hike and no more. A few
reasons:
1) We can do fine with 3 to 4 cents.
2) We have done no serious work to cut/lower costs yet.
3) This is not the right time to load down businesses and home owners with more taxes.., yes, for the
average or below average tax value home it does not seem that much, but it does matter for those that
bring the average value up to $260k and for the businesses in this town who see an operating expense
go up (unless they are getting breaks I am unaware of).
Yes, we have costs coming on now with PID amenities, additional infrastructure, more homes, more
citizens and parks so we cannot have a free ride like we have had the past years when there was
no planning for obvious costs coming leaving it to future councils to work with few options. The idea put
forth after I left last Monday night (yes, I watched it online) of putting aside monies for specific future
capital expenses is great, but this is the wrong time in my mind as we have not done anything serious
with lowering expenses in my opinion.
Also, I question some of the "savings" of this current/past fiscal year. Reason I say this is I thought the
1.5 cents tax hike from last year, which gave us a total of 47 cents, was supposed to go toward adding to
town reserves/savings? Wasn't this the motivation? (I don't know all the answers here on this point, I am
asking questions for discussion.) If this was so, then us claiming some credit for now for trimming
expenses some to put money in reserves is a a bit dubious as we have only done what we were
supposed to do? Yes, I know existing home values have dropped, etc. which makes some of what has
been done seem more impressive, but I do not think we are world beaters just yet. So, in actuality then
the staff has run on the previous year's rate of 45.5 cents revenue, keeping costs in line with that, like
they said they would and have done well .... now we are going to go 51 cents and put in no reserves so in
effect we have a revenue hike of 5.5 cents this year to put toward the operating budget and no reserves?
If we go with 52.5 cents then it is an actual 7 cent increase? I don't know if we should be so quick to raise
rates more just because we have a max ceiling of 53.5 (which I did not agree with) ... we now begin to look
more than a bit calculating as we try to scrape just under the rollback tax rates. Perhaps we should have
been more honest with ourselves and others and set the ceiling at 58 cents or higher (since many seem
to think we are going to get in that tax rate neighborhood next year anyway) and just do all the hikes now
and be done once and for all?
My desire still stands: As small a hike as possible and work on some serious expense cutting to stop the
tax hike merry go -round. Not easy, not fun, but it is the right thing to do for the citizens and businesses of
this town.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards,
jd
