Executive Summary General Fund Revenue The revenues for FY 2013-14 are expected to increase by 1.9% from the FY 2012-13 year end estimates. Revenue from Property Tax increased with an
increase in property values and new development. Sales Tax is also expected to continue growing as the City continues to add business along with continued population growth in our local

transfer from the CPS Energy Community Infrastructure and Economic Development Fund. Expenses The Proposed FY 2013-14 Budget increase by 5.1% from FY 2012-13 year end estimates. This

is expected to increase by 3% from the FY 2012-13 estimates as a result of the general improvements in the economy. 267
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Expenses The Proposed FY 2013-14 Budget will increase by 12.6% from the FY 2012-13 year end estimate. The SEDC has worked with the City Manager’s Office to remove
expenses related to the ongoing maintenance and basic services of the emergency services buildings from the Economic Development budget. Beginning in FY 2012-13 these expenses were relocated
to the General Fund and reimbursed by the Schertz Economic Development Corporation (SEDC). This reimbursement will be reduced by $86,245 for FY 2013-14 as part of a 4 year plan to remove
all related maintenance expenses for the emergency services buildings from the SEDC budget. Professional Services will also decrease with the completion of the Gateway Planning survey
in FY 2012-13 where the SEDC was responsible for 70% of the expenditures. Offsetting these decreases is an additional $500,000 in the Development Incentive Fund to meet anticipated financial
responsibilities under the Economic Development Incentive Agreement with Amazon.com.kydc LLC. The SEDC has allocated funds to the TexasOne account to better reflect the SEDC’s ongoing
plan to fully utilize TexasOne as a major promotional avenue for the City. There will be no change in the overall budget due to this reprioritization of expenses. 268
