INTRODUCTORY SECTION

February 11, 2013
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and the Citizens of City of Schertz:
State law requires that local governments publish a complete set of financial statements presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U. S.
GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States
of America by a firm licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby
issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Schertz for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2012.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City of Schertz.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the City of Schertz has established a comprehensive internal control framework that
is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile
sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Schertz's financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their
benefits, the City of Schertz comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to
provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from
material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this
financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Schertz's financial statements have been audited by Armstrong, Vaughan & Associates
P.C. a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to
provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Schertz for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2012, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor
concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified
opinion that the City of Schertz's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012,
are fairly presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as
the first component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis
(1VID&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement 1VID&A and should be read in
conjunction with it. The City of Schertz's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of
the independent auditor.

Profile of the Government
The City of Schertz, incorporated in 1958, is located in the central part of Texas, which is
considered to be a top growth area in the state, and one of the top growth areas in the country. The
City of Schertz currently occupies a land area of 32.1 square miles and serves a population of
33,382. The City of Schertz is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal
properties located within its boundaries. It also is empowered by state statue to extend its corporate
limits by annexation, which occurs periodically when deemed appropriate by the governing body.
The City of Schertz has operated under the council-manager form of government since 30
November 1972. Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in a City Council consisting of
the mayor and 5 other members. The City Council is responsible for establishing public policy on
City matters by the passage of appropriate ordinances and resolutions. The City Manager is
responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, implementing policy
established by City Council, and for appointing the heads of the various departments. The council is
elected on anon-partisan basis. Council members serve two-year staggered terms, with two council
members elected every two years. The mayor is elected to serve atwo-year term. The mayor and all
five council members are elected at large.
The City of Schertz provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection, the
construction and maintenance of streets, recreational facilities, cultural events, water and sewer
services and EMS services.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Schertz's financial planning and control.
All departments of the City of Schertz are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City
Manager by June of each year. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for
developing a proposed budget. The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the council
for review prior to 1 August. The council then holds public hearings on the proposed budget and to
adopt a final budget by no later than September 30th, the close of the City of Schertz's fiscal year.
The appropriated budget is prepared by each department (e.g. police). Department heads may make
transfers of appropriations within a department. The City Manager may make transfers between
departments and funds with City Council approval. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in
this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been
adopted. For the general fund, this comparison is presented on pages 52-53 as part of the required
supplementary information.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of
Schertz operates.
v
Local economy. The City of Schertz enjoys a favorable economic environment and indicators point
to favorable growth. In November 2012, Amazon announced it would build a $166 million
fulfillment center on 96 acres in Schertz. The fulfillment center will have 1.26 million square feet
and be the largest facility in Schertz. The new fulfillment center is expected to create 350 new jobs
with an annual payroll of $11 million. SYSCO completed their 630,000 square foot distribution
facility in January 2012 and employs 575 full time staff. Salof Companies moved into a 390,935
square foot facility. Salof employs 110 people and is expected to employ a total of 225 positions
within 2 years. Caterpillar completed a second phase to their operations and is expected to add two
more phases with a total of 330 jobs. Baptist Emerus Emergency Hospital began construction on its
new $11 million facility and is expected to be in operation by spring of 2013. Businesses with
headquarters or divisions located within the city or in close proximity include Eye Care Centers of
America, Brandt Engineering, Cal-Tex Protective Coatings, Inc., Valero, FedEx Freight, Marshall
Shredding Company, Kraft Nabisco and Republic National Distributing Company.
The region has a manufacturing and industrial base that adds to the relative stability of the
unemployment rate, which currently stands at 5.5%. The region has a labor force of approximately
990,000, and this number is expected to increase in the next several years as the region continues to
experience population and business growth. Local indicators point to a strong and growing housing
market. The City planned well and has an abundant water supply for meeting its future growth.
Long-term financial planning. The community approved bond propositions in November 2010 for
quality of life projects which included a swimming pool, improvements to athletic and soccer fields,
building an animal services facility, and improvements to Main Street. Bonds have been sold for
these projects. Design work was in progress for the athletic and soccer fields, animal shelter and
swimming pool. In 2006, the citizens approved bond propositions for $38.5 million in streets and
drainage improvements, a new library and additional recreational facilities. The library, recreation
center were completed. Most of the streets and drainage projects have been completed.
Financial Information
Internal Control. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls
designed to ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to provide
adequate accounting information compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for local governments as prescribed by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The internal control
system is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that these objectives are met.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of an internal control should not
exceed the benefits derived from the internal control. The City utilizes financial accounting
software which is designed with a system of internal controls. These controls are continually being
reevaluated to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances.
Budget Controls. The City also utilizes budgetary controls. Legally expenditures cannot exceed
the appropriated amount. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with the
adopted budget approved by the City Council as mandated by the city charter and state law. The
levels of budgetary control are established at the line-item basis and at the fund level
v~
Cash management policies and practices. During the year, temporarily idle cash was invested
through State local investment pools. Cash available for longer term investments was invested in
agency bonds and certificates of deposit. Cash in the State local investment pools are essentially
liquid. Longer term investments had an average maturity of 2 years. The average yield on
investments was .50 percent. Active involvement in investment instruments was limited due to the
continuation of extremely low interest rates and market uncertainty. The rate of return was simply
not sufficient to justify the management expense.
Risk Management. During 2012, the City continued a risk management program for worker's
compensation. Various control techniques, including employee accident prevention training, have
been implemented during the year to minimize accident-related losses. Third-party coverage is
currently maintained for individual worker's compensation claims and all other potential losses.
Additional information on the City of Schertz's risk management activity can be found in the notes
to the financial statements.
Pension benefits. The City of Schertz sponsors an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension
plan for its employees. Each year, an independent actuary engaged by the pension plan calculates
the amount of the annual contribution the City of Schertz must make to the pension plan to ensure
the plan will be able to fully meet its obligations to retired employees on a timely basis. As a matter
of policy, the City of Schertz fully funds each year's annual required contribution to the pension
plan as determined by the actuary. The remaining unfunded amount is being systematically funded
as part of the annual required contribution calculated by the actuary
Other Financial Information:
Independent Audit. An independent audit is required every year of the general ledger, accounts,
financial records, and transactions of all city departments. The audit is completed by an independent
certified public accounting firm selected by the City Council. The City is in compliance with this
requirement and the independent auditor's report by Armstrong, Vaughan, P.C. Certified Public
Accountants, has been included in this report.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Schertz for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. This was the
27th consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the finance department. We would like to express our appreciation to
all members of the department who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report.
v~~
In addition, without the assistance of each and every department head on staff, we would have none
of the successes we've enjoyed. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and the City Council for
their unfailing support for the City Manager and staff.
Respectfully submitted,
John C. Kesel

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City of Schertz, Texas' management. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards, issued
by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Schertz, Texas, as of September 30, 2012, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows,
where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 11, 2013
on our consideration of City of Schertz, Texas' internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
GovernmentAuditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
2
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management's
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and analysis of defined benefit pension plan
funding progress on pages 4 through 12 and 51 through 55 be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's response to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Schertz, Texas, financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual
fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
financial statements. These statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and
relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Schertz, Texas, financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory and statistical
sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial
statements. These sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Schertz, we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Schertz for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2012. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional
information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory
section of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City of Schertz exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$126,043,088 (net assets). Of this amount, $17,230,534 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net assets increased by $3,586,578. A majority of this increase, 54%, is attributable to
capital contributions from developers.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $22,659,404, an increase of $7,857,247 in comparison with the prior year. The majority of this
increase is from the new bonds issued in the Capital Projects fund.
At the end of the fiscal year, the combined total of the General Fund assigned and unassigned fund
balances was $2,975,878 which is 15% of the general fund expenditures not including capital outlay. The
fund balance policy is to have a 25% balance.
During the fiscal year, the City issued $7.625 million in general obligation debt for voter approved
community projects. The related principal and interest payments for the debt are from an annual ad
valorem tax levied against all taxable property within the City. In addition, the City had one debt
refunding due to the favorable rate environment.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to aprivate-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the fmancial position of the City of Schertz is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving to the
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in
this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected
taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
4
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Schertz that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Schertz include general
government, public safety, streets and parks, health, and culture and recreation. The business-type
activities of the City of Schertz include a water and sewer department and an emergency medical services
department.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Schertz itself (known as the
primary government) but also legally separate component units for which the City is financially
accountable. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the primary
government.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Schertz, like other
state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements. The funds of the City of Schertz can be divided into two categories:
governmental and proprietary.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near term inflows and outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information is useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions.
Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities.
The City of Schertz maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately
in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the general fund, the debt service fund, and the capital projects fund, all
of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other eight governmental funds are combined
into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary funds. The City of Schertz maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to
report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City of Schertz uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer department and
for its emergency medical services department.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water and
sewer department and for the emergency medical services department, both of which are considered to be
major funds of the City of Schertz.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
5
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City's general fund budgetary
schedule. The City of Schertz adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary
comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position.
In the case of the City of Schertz, assets exceeded liabilities by $126 million at the close of the most recent
fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's total net assets (85%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding, plus bond proceeds that have not yet been signed. The City of Schertz uses these capital
assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for operational type of
future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it
should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the
capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's total net assets (2%) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, $17.2 million may
be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz is able to report positive balances in all three
categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

Business-Type activities accounted for 69% of the growth in the net assets of the City of Schertz. Of this
increase, 34% is the result of capital contributions from developers. For the most part, increases in
expenses closely paralleled inflation and the change in revenues was primarily related to fluctuations in
capital contributions from developers.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Schertz uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $22.7 million. Of this total amount, $2.56 million constitutes unassigned fund balance, which
is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is non-spendable,
restricted, or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been
committed to pay debt service, for capital improvement projects, and other assigned purposes.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Schertz. At the end of the current fiscal year,
unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $2.56 million, while total fund balance was $4.0 million,
an increase of $773,617 from the prior year. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful
to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned
fund balance represents 13% of total general fund expenditures, not including capital.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $227,674 all of which is reserved for the payment of debt
service. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the debt service fund was $110,424.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $17.3 million, an increase of $7.0 million. This
increase was from the proceeds of a voter approved bond issue for various community projects.
Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the water and sewer
fund at the end of the year amounted to $11,540,031 and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to
$37,614.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund expenditures were $886,822 less than budgeted amounts and the fund balance was
$651,916 higher than anticipated. This is the result of cost savings across most of the General Fund. The
only department significantly over budget Legal, which is attributed to increased planning for future
growth. The original budget was amended during the year to increase total expenditures by less than 1%.

CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as
of September 30, 2012, amounts to $160,654,561 (net of accumulated depreciation). The City did not add
significant capital assets this year aside from developer contributions of infrastructure. Additional
information on the City's capital assets can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements.

Long-Term Debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz had total bonded debt
outstanding of $71,595,189. Of this amount, $68,990,000 comprises debt backed by the full faith and
credit of the government. The remainder of the City's debt represents bonds secured solely by specified
revenue sources, i.e., revenue bonds. During the fiscal year, the City issued $7,625,000 in general
obligation debt for community projects approved by the voters in November 2010. The related principal
and interest payment for the bonds are from an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property
within the City. In addition, the City also issued one debt refunding to take advantage of favorable interest
rates. The City of Schertz's general fund maintains a "AA" rating from Standard and Poors and Fitch
Ratings while its water and sewer fund maintains an "A" rating from Standard and Poor's. Additional
information on the City's long-term debt can be found in notes to the basic financial statements.

TOTAL FUND BALANCE -TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets
are different because:
Capital Assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources
and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures
and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.
Deferred charges, consisting of debt issue costs, are amortized over the life
of the bond in the governmental activities, but were recognized in full in
the governmental funds.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable and capital leases, are not due and
payable in the current period and therefore, not reported in the funds:

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES -GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded
capital outlay in the current period.
Proceeds from the sale of capital assets are reported as revenues on the governmental
fund statements. However, in the statement of activities, these proceeds are reduced
by the net book value of the capital asset (original cost less accumulated depreciation
through the sale date). This amount represents the net book value of capital assets
disposed in the current period.
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds.
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, which the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial reources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has
any affect on net assets. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the
treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Issuance of Debt
Payment to Refund Agent
Premiums on Issuance of Debt
Bond Issue Costs
Principal Repayments
Amortization of Bond Issue Costs
Amortization of Premiums, Discounts, Losses
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds:

separate from the City.
Discretely presented component units -The component units' column in the government-wide financial
statements includes the financial data of the component units of the City of Schertz, Texas. The component
units are presented as governmental fund types. Following is a summary of the component units:
1. Schertz Economic Development Corporation -The Corporation was organized for the purpose of
promoting economic development in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment and to
promote and encourage employment and public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the City. The board of
directors consists of seven (7) members appointed by the city council. The City is fmancially

Parks and Recreation Foundation -The Corporation was organized to improve and expand the
community parks, trails, venues, and recreational programs providing adventure and opportunities for all.
The majority of the foundation's governing board are employees of the City, the accounting records are
maintained by the finance department, cash is pooled with City funds, and the City provides financing
for the foundation and includes the Foundation as part of the City budget process. The City and its
citizens are the sole beneficiaries of the Foundation.
Complete financial statements for the Schertz Economic Development Corporation may be obtained at City
Hall located at 1400 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas 78154. Separate financials are not issued for the
Library Advisory Board or Parks and Recreation Foundation.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities)
report information on all of the activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most
part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary
government is reported separately from legally separate component units for which the primary government
is financially accountable.

B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges of customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been
met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus
and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable
and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or
soon thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally
are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures,
as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when
payment is due.
Property and sales taxes, utility franchises, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
City.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund which accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
The Capital Proiects Fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition
and construction of major capital facilities and is principally financed by the sale of bonds or
certificates of obligation and grants.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water and Sewer System Fund accounts for the water and sewer services provided to
the citizens through user charges.
The EMS Fund accounts for the emergency medical services provided to the citizens of the
City and other participating governments through user charges.
Internal Service Fund accounts for the City's group medical insurance program.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally
are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those
standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB). Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their
business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to
follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this are charges between the City's general government function and various other
functions of the City. Eliminations of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applications for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. General
revenues include all taxes and investment earnings.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection
with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the water and
sewer enterprise fund and the EMS enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits

E. Investments
The City is authorized to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities;
(2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest
on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas of the United States; (4) obligations
of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated of not less
than "AA" or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit issued by state and national banks domiciled in Texas
that are guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or its successor, or
secured by obligations mentioned above; and (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a
defined termination date. In addition, the City is authorized to invest in local government investment pools.
The investment pools operate in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations and have regulatory
oversight from the Texas Public Funds Investment Act Sec. 2256.0016. The fair value of the City's position
in each pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
F. Receivables and Pa.. a
Activities between the funds that are representative of interfund loans outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are referred to as due to/from other funds. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental
activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal
balances".
Accounts receivable are reported net of allowances for uncollectible accounts. The allowance account
represents management's estimate of uncollectible accounts based upon experience and historical trends.
Property taxes for the City are levied each October 1 on the taxable value as of the preceding January 1, the
date a lien attaches, for all taxable real and personal property located in the City. Taxes are due by
January 31 following the October 1 assessment date and become delinquent on February 1, at which time
they begin accruing penalty and interest. The enforceable legal claim date for property taxes is the
assessment date; therefore, the City did not record a receivable for accrual of future taxes at year end.
Accordingly, no current taxes receivable are reported. Delinquent taxes have been reported in the financial
statements net of the allowance for uncollectible taxes. Tax revenues are recognized as they become
available. Accordingly, an amount equal to taxes not yet available has been reported as unearned revenue at
the government fund level.
G. lnventorie s
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental
funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
H. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City's enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their
repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate
bank accounts and their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
1. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings and improvements, machinery, equipment, vehicles, and
infrastructure assets (i.e., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital
assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated
useful life in excess of one year. When capital assets are purchased, they are capitalized and depreciated in
the government-wide financial statements and the proprietary fund statements. Capital assets are recorded as
expenditures of the current period in the governmental fund financial statements.
Capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated cost where no
records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized.
Improvements to capital assets that materially extend the life of the asset or add to the value are capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during construction will not be capitalized in the governmental activities on the government-wide
financial statements; however capitalization of interest is required for business-type activities. There was no
capitalized interest during the current fiscal year.
Capital assets are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows:
Useful Lives
Assets (Years)
Buildings and Improvements 10 - 50
Machinery, Equipment, and Vehicles 2 - 20
Infrastructure 15 - 30
J. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and compensatory time
benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the City does not have a policy to pay
any amounts when employees separate from service with the City. All vacation and compensatory time pay
is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for
these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of
employee resignations and retirements.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
K. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and
discounts, losses on defeasance, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount and losses on defeasance. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over
the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as
bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing
sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on
debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual
debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
L. Fund EquitX
Fund balances in governmental funds are classified as follows:
Nonspendable -Represents amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable
form (such as inventory or prepaid items) or legally required to remain intact.
Restricted -Represents amounts that are constrained by external parties, constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
Committed -Represents amounts that can only be used for a specific purpose because of a formal
action by the government's highest level of decision making authority: an ordinance adopted by City
Council prior to the end of the fiscal year. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance
remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or
revise the limitation.
Assigned -Represents amounts which the City intends to use for a specific purpose but do not meet
the criteria of restricted or committed. The City Council and City Manager are the only entities that
may make assignments at this time.
Unassigned -Represents the residual balance that may be spent on any other purpose of the City.
When an expenditure is incurred for a purpose in which multiple classifications are available, the City
considers restricted balances spent first, committed second, and assigned third.

M. Net Assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of
related debt consist of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of
any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back
unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed by creditors,
grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
N. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those
estimates.
O. Bud.~ry Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all
governmental funds except the library grant special revenue fund, police department forfeiture special
revenue fund and the capital projects fund, which adopts project-length budgets.

Interest Rate Risk. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates,
the City's investment policy limits the City's investment portfolio to highly liquid investments to meet
unanticipated cash requirements, and/or to redeploy cash into other investments expected to outperform
current holdings.

Credit Risk. State law limits investments in certificates of deposit to guaranteed or insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, or its successor or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, or its
successor and investment pools continuously rated no lower than AAA or an equivalent rating by at least one
nationally recognized rating service. The City's investment policy does not further limit its investment
choices. As of September 30, 2012, the City's investments in the pooled investment funds were rated AAAm
by Standard & Poor's. The City has invested in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal
National Mortgage Association.
Custodial Credit Risk -Deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure,
the government's deposits may not be returned. As of September 30, 2012, the City's petty cash on hand
was $3,100. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents (including certificates of deposit) was
$4,329,985 and the bank balance was $5,164,724. Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal
deposit insurance at Schertz Bank and Trust and the City's depository had pledged securities having a face
value of $17,065,000 and a market value of $6,169,428 as collateral for the City's deposits. Funds were fully
insured and collateralized. All collateral is held in the City's name.
As of September 30, 2012, the Economic Development Corporation (Component Unit) held funds of
$194,666 in the pooled cash of the primary government, $200 in petty cash on hand, and $1,037,007 in
certificates of deposit. The Corporation's funds are fully secured under City's pledged securities. As of
September 30, 2012, the Library Advisory Board and the Parks and Recreation Foundation (Component
Units) held funds of $11,645 and $127,871, respectively.
Custodial Credit Risk -Investments. For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty, the government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party. All of the government securities owned by the City are held by
its agent in the City's name.
NOTE 3 -PROPERTY TAX
Taxes are levied on and payable as of October 1. The City has contracted with the Guadalupe County Tax
Assessor-Collector to collect taxes on its behalf. Current taxes become delinquent February 1. Current year
delinquent taxes not paid by July 1 are turned over to attorneys for collection action. The total taxable value
as of October 1, 2011, upon which the fiscal 2012 levy was based, was $2,151,848,489 (i.e., market value
less exemptions). The estimated market value was $2,662,036,427, making the taxable value 80.8% of the
estimated market value.
The City is permitted by the Constitution of the State of Texas to levy taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of taxable
assessed valuation for all governmental purposes. Pursuant to a decision of the Attorney General of the State
of Texas, up to $1.50 per $100 of assessed valuation may be used for the payment of long-term debt. The
combined tax rate to finance general governmental services, including the payment of principal and interest
on long-term debt for the year ended September 30, 2012, was $0.4843 per $100 of assessed value, which
means that the City has a tax margin of $2.0157 for each $100 value and could increase its annual tax levy by
approximately $43,374,810 based upon the present assessed valuation before the limit is reached.

NOTE 3 -PROPERTY TAX (Continued)
However, the City may not adopt a tax rate that exceeds the tax rate calculated in accordance with the Texas
Property Tax Code without holding a public hearing. The Property Tax Code subjects an increase in the
effective tax rate to a referendum election, if petitioned by registered voters, when the effective tax rate
increase is more than eight percent (8%) of the previous year's effective tax rate.
Property taxes are recorded as receivables and unearned revenues at the time the taxes are assessed. In
governmental funds, revenues are recognized as the related ad valorem taxes are collected. Additional
amounts estimated to be collectible in the time to be a resource for payment of obligations incurred during
the fiscal year and therefore susceptible to accrual in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been recognized as revenue. In the government-wide financial statements, the entire levy is
recognized as revenue, net of estimated uncollectible amounts (if any), at the levy date.

In August 2012, the City issued $7,625,000 of general obligation bonds, with the payment of the related
principal and interest to be made from an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property within the
City. The bonds were issued to provide funds to construct athletic fields and a natatorium, the final portion
of the bonds authorized in 2010. In the government-wide financial statements, bond issuance costs are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 9 -LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
During the year ended September 30, 2012, the City issued $6,745,000 of general obligation bonds to
provide resources to advance refund portions of the 2003 and 2004 certificates of obligation totaling
$6,295,000. As a result, the refunded portion of the certificates has been removed from the Statement of Net
Assets and is considered defeased even though it was outstanding as of September 30, 2012. The advance
refunding was undertaken to result in an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt
service payments on the old and new debt) of $505,543.
Bonded debt of the City consists of various series of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of
obligation, and tax notes. General obligation bonds and certificates of obligation are direct obligations of the
City for which its full faith and credit are pledged, and are payable from taxes levied on all taxable property
located within the City. Revenue bonds are generally payable from pledged revenues generated by the water
and sewer fund. The debenture agreement for water and sewer bonds requires that funds be available for
1/12th of the principal and 1/6th of the interest requirements of the next fiscal year.
The City is required to accumulate a reserve fund in an amount equal to the average principal and interest on
the revenue bonds. The City has purchased a surety bond through MBIA Insurance Corporation to fund the
required reserve amount.
NOTE 10 -RETIREMENT PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for its eligible employees through a nontraditional, joint contributory,
hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agent
multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that have been adopted by the
City are within the options available in the governing state statutes of TMRS.
TMRS issues publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides detailed explanations of the
contribution, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions used by the System. This report may be
obtained from TMRS' website at www.TMRS.com.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state
statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the City were as follows:
Employee deposit rate
Matching ratio (City to employee)
Years required for vesting
Service retirement eligibility (expressed as
age/years of service)

NOTE 10 -RETIREMENT PLAN (Continued)
B. Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually by the
actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the normal cost
contribution rate and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of
payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the portion of an active member's
projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded)
actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for the City. Both the normal cost and prior service
contribution rates include recognition of the projected impact of annually repeating benefits, such as Updated
Service Credits and Annuity Increases.
The City contributes to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees and the City
make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance for budgetary
purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the
calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The annual pension cost and net pension obligation (asset) are
as follows:
Fiscal Year
Annual Actual Percentage of Net Pension
Pension Cost APC Contributed

2012 $ 2,120,746 $ 2,120,746 100%

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revisions as
actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Actuarial calculations are based on the benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan in effect at
the time of each valuation, and reflect along-term perspective. Consistent with that perspective, actuarial
methods and assumptions used to include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in
actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. The schedule of funding progress, presented as
Required Supplementary Information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to
the actuarial accrued liability of benefits.
C. Other Post-Employment Benefits
The City also participates in the cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit group-term life insurance
plan operated by TMRS known as Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The City elected, by
ordinance, to provide group-term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The City
may terminate coverage under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before
November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1.
The death benefit for active employees provides alump-sum payment approximately equal to the employee's
annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period preceding the
month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is an "other postemployment
benefit," or OPEB.
The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual actuarial
valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The funding policy for the
SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the
upcoming year; the intent is not to pre-fund retiree life insurance during the employees' entire careers.
The City's contributions to the TMRS SDBF for the years ended 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $22,274,
$25,723, and $21,794, respectively, which equaled the required contributions each year.

NOTE 12 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tax Increment Financing (the "Zone'
The City is a principal in the City of Schertz Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2, pursuant to Chapter 311
of the Texas Tax Code. Under the terms of the Zone agreement, the City of Schertz, Bexar County, and San
Antonio River Authority are funding infrastructure improvements through tax increment financing to the
Sedona Development Project.
At the time the Zone was created, the property tax base was "frozen" and increment taxes resulting from the
increases to property tax base are being used to finance Zone improvements. The total projected cost is a
combined figure of $45,000,000. Project costs of the developer will be funded up to 100% of the tax
increment generated by the City of Schertz, Bexar County, and San Antonio River Authority (SARA). The
City of Schertz (combined with SARA) have committed up to $32,877,000 of the total $45,000,000. The
Zone has a statutory termination date of December 31, 2027. The TIRZ has collected $146,569 as of
September 30, 2012, which will be used to reimburse the developer for infrastructure improvements.
380 Agreements
To encourage economic growth, the City has entered into various 380 agreements with businesses in the
City. These agreements involve rebates of future ad valorem taxes and or sales taxes. These agreements are
rebates of future taxes, and should not have a significant impact on current tax base in future years. Once the
terms of the 380 agreements expire, the tax base of the City will be increased to include these new
businesses.
Litigation
The City is the subject of various claims and litigation that have arisen in the course of its operations.
Management is of the opinion that the City's liability in these cases, if decided adversely to the City, will not
have a material effect on the City's financial position.
RiskManagement
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The City contracts with the Texas Municipal League
Intergovernmental Risk Pool, a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and
insurance program providing insurance coverage in the following areas: general liability, automobile liability
and physical damage, law enforcement liability, worker's compensation, real and personal property, mobile
equipment, and errors and omissions liability. TML is amulti-employer group that provides for a

FUND BALANCE -BUDGET AND ACTUAL
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Budgetary Information -The budget is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The City maintains strict budgetary controls. The objective of
these controls is to ensure compliance with legal provision embodied in the annual appropriated budget
approved by the City Council and as such is a good management control device. Annual budgets are
adopted for the general fund; debt service fund; special revenue funds; hotel motel tax, park fund, police
forfeiture fund, library grant fund, and the historical committee fund. Project-length financial plans are
adopted for capital projects funds. Of these budgets, only the General Fund, Debt Service and Economic
Development Corporation are legally adopted.
Budgetary preparation and control is exercised at the department level. Actual expenditures may not
legally exceed appropriations at the fund level.
The City did not exceed the budgeted expenditures in any funds with legally adopted budgets during 2012.
However, the budget for the Police Forfeiture Fund was exceeded.
Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. Encumbrance
accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of resources
are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds.
Encumbrances lapse at year-end and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments
must be reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year.

Amounts reported in the statement of net assets
are different because for the statement of net assets:
Deferred charges, consisting of debt issue costs, are
amortized over the life of the bond rather than
recognized in full in the fund statements:
Long-term liabilities (including employee compensated
absences) are not payable in the current period and,
therefore, are deferred in the funds

Amounts reported in the statement of activities are
different because:
The issuance of long-term debt provides and the
repayment of principal consumes the current financial
resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction
however has any affect on net assets. This amount is
the net effect of these transactions:
Principal Repayments
Amortization of Bond Issue Costs
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities
do not require the use of current financial resources

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
To the City Council and management
City of Schertz
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Schertz, as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2012 and have issued our report thereon dated February 11, 2013. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the City of Schertz is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Schertz's internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of City of Schertz's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City of Schertz's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City of Schertz's financial
statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as
defined above.
107
Combliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Schertz's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under GovernmentAuditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City of Schertz in a separate letter dated
February 11, 2013.
This report is intended for the information and use of management, City Council, Audit Committee, State
and others within the organization and is not intended to, and should not, be used by anyone other than these
specific parties.
