INTRODUCTORY SECTION
III
January 20, 2014
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 of 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, 2013.
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, 2013, 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, 2013,
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
(MD &A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD &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 auditors.

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
35,201. 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 a non - partisan basis. Council members serve two -year staggered terms, with two council
members elected every two years. The mayor is elected to serve a two -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 and five -year forecast serve 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 and
community meetings 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 54 -55 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 continued growth. SYSCO completed their 630,000 square foot distribution facility in January
2012 and employs 600 full -time staff. This is a regional distribution center for SYSCO.
Amazon.com completed construction of their $166 million fulfillment center on 96 acres in Schertz
in time for the 2013 holiday season. The fulfillment center has 1.26 million square feet and is the
largest facility in Schertz and in Guadalupe County. The new fulfillment center is expected to have
350 new full -time jobs with an annual payroll of $11 million. General Electric purchased Salof
Companies which designs and manufactures small scale liquefied natural gas technologies and
occupies a 390,935 square foot facility in Schertz. The purchase of Salof will allow General Electric
to expand their capabilities in the liquefied natural gas industry. Baptist Emerus Emergency
Hospital completed construction on its new $1.1 million facility in April 2013. Businesses with
headquarters or divisions located within the city or in close proximity include Vision Works, Brandt
Engineering, Cal -Tex Protective Coatings, Inc., CST Distribution which was formerly Valero,
FedEx Freight, Marshall Shredding Company, Kraft Nabisco, Republic National Distributing
Company, Caterpillar, Wal -Mart, and H.E.B.
The region has a manufacturing and industrial base that adds to the relative stability of the
unemployment rate, which was 4.7% in November 2013. The region has a labor force of
approximately 325,000 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 the baseball fields and
soccer fields, building an animal adoption facility, and improvements to Main Street. The animal
adoption facility is scheduled to be completed in March 2014. . Design work was completed for the
baseball and soccer fields. The baseball fields should be completed in spring 2014. Completion of
the soccer fields is scheduled for the latter part of 2014. 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.
vi
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.
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 .38 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 2013, 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 performed 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, 2012. This was the
28th 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.
vli
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.
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,

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Schertz, as of and for
the year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise City of Schertz's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
City of Schertz's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
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 Government Auditing 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.

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, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of City of Schertz, as of September 30, 2013, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management's
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and schedule of funding progress, as listed in the
table of contents, 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. The budgetary comparison information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
management's discussion and analysis and schedule of funding progress in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management's responses 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
management's discussion and analysis and schedule of funding progress because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise City of Schertz's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements, introductory section, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and
were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical 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 it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 20, 2014
on our consideration of City of Schertz's 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 internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Schertz's internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

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, 2013. 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
$137.0 million (net position). Of this amount, $18.6 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to
meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net position increased by $7.8 million. A significant portion of this increase, 36 %, 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 $30.3 million, an increase of $3.0 million in comparison with the prior year.
At the end of the fiscal year, the combined total of the General Fund assigned and unassigned fund
balances was $4.8 million which is 23% 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 $1.635 million in tax notes for a new fire truck and P25 compliant
radios. The related principal and interest payments for the debt are from an annual ad valorem tax levied
against all taxable property within the City.
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) fiend 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 a private- sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Schertz is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position 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).
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.
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 fiends 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 fiend balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the general fund, the debt service fund, the economic development
corporation and the capital projects fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other seven governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fiend 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 govermnent -wide financial
statements. The City of Schertz uses enterprise fiends 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

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 economic development corporation also adopts an annual budget, and a comparison schedule for it
also is provided in the required supplementary information.
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 position 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 $137.0 million at the close of the
most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's total net position (81 %) reflects its net 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 position (6 %) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $18.6 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 position, 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 42% of the growth in the net position of the City of Schertz. Of
this increase, 17% 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, unassigned 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 $30.3 million. Of this total amount, $4.2 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 $4.2 million, while total fund balance was $6.0 million,
an increase of $2.0 million 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 fiend balance to total fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance represents 20% of total general fund expenditures, not including capital.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $0.5 million all of which is restricted for the payment of
debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the debt service fund was $0.3
million.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $16.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million. Some new
tax notes were issued during the year but expenditures from prior voter approved bond issuances exceeded
these proceeds.
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 position of the water and sewer
fund at the end of the year amounted to $11.1 million and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to
$0.7 million.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund expenditures were $855,000 less than the $21.6 million budget. This was the result of
cost savings across most of the General Fund. The only department significantly over budget was legal.
Revenues were higher by $1.1 million than budgeted. Overall, the fiend balance increased by $1.7 million
higher than budgeted. The original budget was amended during the year to increase total expenditures by
less than 1 %.
11
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, 2013, amounts to $164 million (net of accumulated depreciation). Developers
contributed $1.5 million in streets and drainage improvements during the year. The City also has several
projects in progress from voter approved bonds. Additional information on the City's capital assets can be
found in the note 6 to the basic financial statements.
TABLE A -3
CAPITAL ASSETS
(Net of Depreciation)
Long -Term Debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz had total bonded debt
outstanding of $70.6 million. Of this amount, $68 million 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 $1.635 million in tax notes for
a new fire truck and P25 compliant radios for police, fire and EMS. The related principal and interest
payment for the bonds are from an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property within the
City. The City of Schertz maintains a "AA" rating from Standard and Poors. Additional information on
the City's long -term debt can be found in note 9 to the basic financial statements.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position
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 not recognized as revenue in the 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, 2013
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS $ 3,185,140
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. In addition, capital assets contributed to governmental
activities are not recorded on the fund statements.
Capital Outlay 3,221,917
Capital Contributions 1,531,740
Depreciation Expense (4,125,547) 628,110
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. (8,130)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds. 134,890
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 reourees of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has
any affect on net position. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the
treatment of long -term debt and related items.
Proceeds from the Issuance of Debt (1,635,000)
Principal Repayments 3,217,325
Amortization of Premiums, Discounts, Losses (911,106) 671,219
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:

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Schertz is a municipal corporation governed by an elected mayor and five- member council. The
financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting
principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below:
A. Reporting Entity
Component Units - As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements
present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be
financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part
of the government's operations; thus, data from these units are be combined with data of the primary
government. Discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in
the government -wide financial statements to emphasize it is legally separate from the government. The City
reports the following blended component units:
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 financially
accountable for the Corporation because the city council approves the Corporation's budget.
Complete financial statements for the Schertz Economic Development Corporation may be obtained
from City Hall.
2. Parks and Recreation Foundation — The Corporation was organized to improve and expand the
community parks, trails, venues, and recreational programs providing fun leisure and healthy
activities. The foundation's governing board is comprised of Schertz residents and 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. In addition, the City includes the
Foundation as part of the City budget process. The City and its citizens are the sole beneficiaries of
the Foundation. Separate financials are not issued for the Parks and Recreation Foundation.
Joint Ventures - A joint venture is a legally separate entity that results from a contractual arrangement and
that is owned, operated, or governed by two or more participating governments. The following entities meet
the criteria as joint ventures. Separate financial statements for these entities may be obtained at City Hall.
Schertz /Seguin. Local Government Corporation - is a public, nonprofit corporation organized to
aid, assist, and act on behalf of the cities of Schertz and Seguin in acquiring, constructing,
maintaining, and operating a water utility system. The participating governments have an ongoing
financial responsibility to fund the operation of the corporation through either purchase of services
or by subsidizing the operations.
2. Cibolo Valley Local Government Corporation — is a public, nonprofit corporation organized July
28, 2011 to aid, assist, and act on behalf of the cities of Cibolo, Converse and Schertz in acquiring,
constructing, maintaining, and operating a water utility system. The participating governments
have an ongoing financial responsibility to fund the operation of the corporation through either
purchase of services or by subsidizing the operations.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
B. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position 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.
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 fiend 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. Nonexchange revenues
that are measurable but not available are recorded as unavailable revenue (a deferred inflow of resources).
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.
Exchange revenues (payments for services) received in advance of the service being provided are recorded as
unearned revenue.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
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.
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.
Economic Development Corporation collects sales taxes to support business development
and expansion within the City.
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.
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 fiend 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
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 Payables
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 unavailable revenue
(a deferred inflow of resources) at the government fund level.
G. Inventories
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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
H. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds from bonds, resources set aside for their repayment, and other restrictive agreements 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 and/or contractual arrangements.
I. 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
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 position. Bond premiums and
discounts, losses on defeasance, as well as issuance costs, are 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 expensed as incurred.
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 Equity
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 may make assignments through formal
documentation in the minutes. The City Council authorized (by way of policy) the City Manager to
also make assignments. The City Manager's assignments do not require formal action; however, the
City Manager has not assigned any funds 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
M. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets consists 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. Budgetary 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.
P. Change in Accounting Method/Policy
For the year ending September 30, 2013, the City has made the following changes in their accounting
policies:
1. Adoption of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 63 and 65. The
adoption of these statements has resulted in the City removing unamortized bond issue costs
from the financial statements. The effect on the current and prior periods was not significant to
these financial statements. The adoption also resulted in some presentation changes: Net Assets
is now referred to as Net Position and deferred losses on debt refundings, previously reported in
liabilities, is now reported as a deferred outflow of resources on the Statement of Net Position.
2. Component Units. Previously, the City reported the Economic Development Corporation, the
Library Board, and the Parks and Recreation Foundation as discrete component units. In 2013,
the City has reevaluated these entities and blended all three. All information presented for prior
years has been updated to include these component units as if they were blended.
3. Split nonmajor funds. Previously, the nonmajor park fund help parkland dedication and tree
mitigation fees. The tree mitigation fees have been segregated to a new fund. The restricted fund
balance for tree mitigation previously in the park fund has been shown as a beginning fund
balance in the new tree mitigation fund. Likewise, the beginning fund balance in the park fund
has been reduced by the portion restricted for tree mitigation in the previous year. This split had
no effect on beginning fund balance of nonmajor funds.

NOTE 2 - CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS
The City's operating deposits are held at one institution. The institution provides a combination of pledged

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, 2013, the City's investments in the pooled investment funds were rated AAAm
by Standard & Poor's. The City has also invested in debt securities provided by the Federal Home Loan
Bank, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm
Credit Banks, and U.S Treasury Notes.
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, 2013, the City's cash and cash
equivalents (including certificates of deposit, and component unit holdings) were fully collateralized by the
City's depository by a combination of pledged collateral and FDIC insurance. All collateral is held in the
City's name.
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, 2012, upon which the fiscal 2013 levy was based, was $2,769,417,187 (i.e., market value
less exemptions). The estimated market value was $2,877,621,822, making the taxable value 96.2% 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, 2013, was $0.4999 per $100 of assessed value, which
means that the City has a tax margin of $2.0001 for each $100 value and could increase its annual tax levy by
approximately $55,391,11.4 based upon the present assessed valuation before the limit is reached.
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.
NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLES
Receivables as of year -end for the government's individual major funds and nonmajor fiends in the
aggregate, including the applicable allowances for uncollectible accounts, are as follows:

The City issues a variety of long -term debt instruments in order to acquire and/or construct major capital
facilities and equipment for governmental activities. These instruments include general obligation bonds,
certificates of obligation, and capital leases. These debt obligations are secured by either future property or
hotel tax revenue or liens on property and equipment.
In April 2013, the City issued $835,000 in Tax Notes Series 2013 for a new fire truck. In June 2013, the City
issued $800,000 in Tax Notes Series 2013A for the purchase of P25 compliant radios. The payment of the
related principal and interest is to be made from an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property
within the City.
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.

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:
The required contribution rates for fiscal year 2013 were determined as part of the December 31, 2010 . and
2011 actuarial valuations. Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation, December 31, 2012,

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 a long -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 a lump -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 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $21,251,
$22,274, and $25,723, respectively, which equaled the required contributions each year.

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.
Risk Management
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 a multi - employer group that provides for a
combination of risk sharing among pool participants and stop loss coverage. Contributions are set annually
by the provider. Liability by the City is generally limited to the contributed amounts. Annual contributions
for the year ended September 30, 2013 were $393,834 for property and casualty and workers compensation
coverage. There were no significant increases or decreases in coverage from fiscal year 2012.
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2013, the City issued general obligation refunding bonds series 2013 for a principal amount of
$2,160,000. The bonds mature serially through 2025 and bear interest at 2.58 %. The bonds were issued to
advance refund the 2005 Revenue Bonds of $2,070,000 on the call date of February 1, 2014. The refunding
resulted in a total savings of $155,573 with a present value of $133,020.
Also in October 2013, the City issued certificates of obligation series 2013 . for a principal amount of
$4,965,000. The bonds mature serially through 2033 and have interest rates ranging from 2.0 % -4.0 %. The
bonds were issued to fund improvements to the utility system.
L►[�Illl�f[��:i[�li��i[� � � � l�l.`Illl�i�l��ll
In a prior year, the City charged the incorrect amount for parkland dedication fees (recorded in a nonmajor
special revenue fund). The error was discovered this year and the overcharges were refunded in the amount
of $189,650. A prior period adjustment was recorded to correct prior year overstated revenues which
affected both nonmajor governmental beginning fund balance and governmental activities beginning net
position.
NOTE 15 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2012, the GASB issued Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions — an
Amendment of GASB Statement 27. The statement improves information provided by governments for
defined benefit retirement plans. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2014.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on the City's financial
statements and it may be significant.

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
GO VERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
To the City Council and management
City of Schertz
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Schertz as
of and for the year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which .
collectively comprise City of Schertz's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
January 20, 2014.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Schertz's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Schertz's internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Schertz's internal control.
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 and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
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 material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations,
during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Schertz's financial statements are free from
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 Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we have reported to management of City of Schertz in a separate letter dated
January 20, 2014.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and
the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or
on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
