Communication with Those Charged with Governance
To the Audit Committee
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Schertz, as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2018, and have issued our report thereon dated March 19, 2019. Professional standards require
that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (and Government Auditing Standards)
As communicated in our engagement letter dated September 17, 2018, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to form and express an opinion about whether the
financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all
material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting.
Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of City of Schertz solely for the purpose
of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional
judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not
required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm has complied with all relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entity's Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the
significant accounting policies adopted by City of Schertz is included in Note 1 to the financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during
2018, except for the adoption of GASB Statement No. 75 related to postemployment benefits other than
pensions. This required and other postemployment benefit liability of $1.8 million to be recorded on the city's
financial statements as well as expanded footnotes and required supplementary information.
No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about
(1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting
policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based
on management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about
past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future
events affecting them may differ markedly from management's current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:
• Useful lives of capital assets
• Pension related liabilities, to include the mortality and investment assumptions.
• OPEB related liabilities.
• Service Concession Arrangement Receivables and Liabilities
• Allowance for uncollectible receivables for
- Water revenues
- EMS billings
- Property taxes
- Court fines and revenue
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and determined that they are
reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion
units.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of
their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting City of Schertz's
financial statements relate to Texas Municipal Retirement System and Long -Term Liabilities.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
However, the reconcilatioan of the capital assets were not fully reconciled until the end of February, which
delayed the timing of the final audit.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether
or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could
be significant to the City of Schertz' financial statements or the auditor's report. No such disagreements arose
during the course of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely
misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them
to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the
effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account
balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. The following
summarized the uncorrected financial statement misstatements whose effects in the current and prior periods,
as determined by mangement, are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statemetns
taken as a whole and each applicable opinion unit:
• Under accrued payroll liability in the general fund resulting in understatment of payroll expense of
$61,367.
• Under accrued payroll liability in the EMS fund resulting in understatement of payroll expense of
$20,286.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that
were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. The following material
misstatements that we identified as a result of our audit procedures were brought to the attention of and
corrected by management.
• Significant entries were made to reconcile the Capital Assets and record the leases in the proprietary
fund.
• A material correcting entry was made to correct beginning fund balances or net position in several
funds.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in a separate letter
dated March 19, 2019.
Management's Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other
accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Matters
As a result of our audit for the year ending September 30, 2018, we had the following suggestions and status
updated on the prior year comments:
Prior Year Comments:
TMRS Census Data: The City's internal control policy on GASB Statement No. 68 currently does
not address the review of the employee census data recorded in the TMRS employee pension records.
Discussions with City personnel revealed that the City has not independently reviewed the information.
The City should develop a policy and review the employee's census data periodically to ensure the
pension liability estimate is accurate.
Status: Management performed a review in August 2018.
Cash Reconciling Items: The City is carrying a significant amount of uncleared items on its bank
reconciliation and has additional reconciling items from the old operating account. The volume of
oustanding items each month makes it more difficult to review the bank reconciliation for errors. In
addition, some of these items may need to be sent to the State as unclaimed property. Management
should review cash reconciling items and send unclaimed property to the State.
Status: Management has plans to review these items in the future and research the requirements for
unclaimed property.
Current Year Comments:
Reconciliation of Capital Assets and Depreciation: Capital Assets and the corresponding
depreciation for the assets were not properly recorded and reconciled with the financial statements at
year end. Additionally, a few of the capital leases were not recorded in the proprietary fund. The
Finance Department did not keep up with the spreadsheet during the year, which creates an enormous
project at year end. Multiple journal entries were required as a result. The City should consider
monitoring this on a monthly or a quarterly basis rather than only at year end. Consider, reviewing
each capital outlay, repair and maintenance and construction line item and recording the corresponding
assets. Additionally, consider having the Accounts Payable Clerk flag the transactions as they are
entered into Incode.
Rental Deposits: Mangement was not properly tracking property rental deposits, which could result
in rental deposits being returned to the incorrect individual, or over or underpayment of the deposit.
Management should consider tracking these deposits in a subledger in Incode or in a separate Excel
spreadsheet.
Public Funds Investment Act
As a part of our audit, we review the City's compliance with the Public Funds Investment Act. Our procedures
determined that the City is in compliance, in all material effects, with the provisions of the Act.
Other Significant Findings or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with City of Schertz, we generally discuss a variety of
matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory
conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material
misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as City of Schertz'
auditors.
Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information (statistical section) in
documents containing City of Schertz' audited financial statements does not extend beyond the financial .
information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate
such other information. However, in accordance with such standards, we have read the information and
considering whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its
presentation in the financial statements.
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material
misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its
4
manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing
in the financial statements
Trend Analysis
We have prepared the attached "Trend Analysis" as a financial planning tool for council and staff. Sound
financial management dictates that a minimum fund balance be maintained that is sufficient to ensure
operations will continue uninterrupted and emergencies that arise from time to time will be met. A rule of
thumb for a minimum fund balance for the general fund is three to six months average operating expenditures
(exclusive of capital outlay and debt service expenditures). The attachment details the trends over the last five
years. This is presented for additional analysis and as a planning tool. We make no recommendation regarding
the analysis of this information.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Audit Committee, City Council, and
management of City of Schertz and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

SCHHERTZ I OPPORTUNITY
March 19, 2019
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and the Citizens 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, 2018.
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, 2018,
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
unmodified opinion that the City of Schertz's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2018, 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 32.21 square miles with a population of 40,092 in 2017 according to the US Census
Bureau. 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 November 30, 1972.
Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in a City Council consisting of the Mayor and seven at-
1400 Schertz Parkway Schertz, Texas 78154 210.619.1000 ,r {r rt, -Iclo
v
large councilmembers. 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
three -year staggered teens, with two council members elected every three years and then three council
members elected the final three years in the cycle. The mayor is elected to serve a three -year term.
The City of Schertz provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection, EMS services, the
construction and maintenance of streets, recreational facilities, cultural events, and water and sewer services.
The annual budget and five -year forecast serve as the foundation for the City of Schertz's financial planning
and control. All city departments 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 the proposed budget to the council for review in early August. The
council then holds public hearings and community meetings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final
budget by September 30t''. The fiscal year for Schertz is from October 1 through September 30. The
appropriated budget is prepared by each department (e.g. police). The City Manager 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 fiend for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund, this
comparison is presented on pages 66 -67 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.
Local economy.
Economic growth in Schertz remained strong in 2018. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas reported that the
San Antonio Business -Cycle Index, of which Schertz data is incorporated, grew 2.6% year over year for
September 2018. This increase in the Index shows this region is still in a state of economic expansion. As of
October 2018, the unemployment rate for Texas was 3.9% and several metro areas including Austin, Dallas -
Fort Worth, and San Antonio, are below the state average. Schertz in particular had an unemployment rate
of 3.1 percent during this time. Per the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas October 2018 Economic Update,
this low unemployment rate combined with a higher wage pressure are major factors in preventing even
faster growth in the State.
The City of Schertz realized a 17.1% increase year - over -year in sales tax collections during the fiscal
year. Sales Tax generated from the construction sector lead the increase in FY 2017 -18. Revenue generated
from these sources can fluctuate year by year with the amount of high value project.
During the 2018 calendar year, there were several significant construction projects completed in Schertz. The
projects included 17745 Lookout Road (187,288 square feet), 17454 Campus Drive (17,850 sf), 17992 Red
Iron (35,100 sf) and 5700 Schertz Parkway (25,138 sf). The facility located at 17745 Lookout Road is the
fourth of an announced quintet of speculative buildings. The year saw the growth of multiple educational
facilities. Danville Middle School (370 Hubertus Road), completed in Q3, is part of Comal Independent
School District's overarching plan to address the region's growth. According to a district representative, the
student population is experiencing a growth rate of 4.5 %, or 1,000 students per year. Rose Garden.
Elementary' s (10414 E. FM 1518) new location can accommodate twice the number of students as the
facility it replaced. Samuel Clemens High School's (1001 Elbel Road) $72 million renovation and expansion
continued throughout the year and was 84% complete as of January 7, 2019. Founder's Classical Academy
of Schertz (8453 E FM 1518 North) underwent a 30,281 square foot expansion of classroom space.
Mondelez International (also known by its subsidiaries Nabisco and Kraft), an existing Schertz business,
completed a 21,620 square foot expansion. Ryder Truck neared completion of their new fleet and
vi
maintenance facility which will add 22,756 square feet to their existing Schertz location. According to 2018
Q4 data provided by Costar, the Schertz market has an industrial vacancy rate of 9.3 %, down from the
previous quarter's 10.2 %. Average asking rates for this industrial sector stood at $5.30 NNN, a decrease of
$0.51 from the third quarter of 2018. Long -term financial planning. The community approved bond
propositions in November 2010 for quality of life projects which included an aquatics facility, improvements
to the baseball fields and soccer fields, building a new animal adoption facility, and improvements to Main
Street. The only remaining project are the Main Street improvements. Construction was completed for the
aquatic facility in January 2017 while the Main Street improvements continue to be developed.
In November 2015, the City placed 2 bond propositions before the voters totaling $15 million. $7 million
was for FM road ways which the City will partner with the Texas Department of Transportation, who will
provide matching funds, and $8 million for a new Fire Station located in the southern portion of Schertz. In
June 2017, the second $4 million was issued for the Fire Station to begin construction. Currently the Fire
Station is estimated to be completed in 2019.
Current Year Budget Initiatives. In FY 2017 -18, the City's main initiatives that had a major budget
impact were the implementation of the third -year recommendation of the Classification and Compensation
Study to bring the wages up to a more competitive level, new permit software to increase customer
responsiveness, the new Moving on Main event, maintenance and improvements on public works and parks
infrastructure, and 22 new personnel positions.
Financial Information:
The new personnel included 4 crossing guards, 2 patrol officers, a Plans Examiner, a new Code Enforcement
Officer, the final 6 Fire Fighters needed to open Fire Station #3, 3 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), 3
Water & Sewer Servicemen, and 2 Drainage Workers.
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. Staff believes these controls help monitor
and direct approved expenditures to a level within the budget parameters which directly results in a strong
financial performance.
Financial Results. Assets and fund balances continue to grow as the City grows and financial results remain
strong. While additional debt was issued during the year, Staff closely monitors and plans the amount of
issuance to keep steady debt ratios per capita, per revenue, and per operations tax rate to the debt tax rate.
Examples of these ratios can be found in the Statistical Section on pages 109, 110 and 104. A more detailed
summary of the City's Financial Performance is available in the Management Discussion and Analysis
section on page 5.
vii
Independent Audit. Every year an independent audit is performed 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, & Associates 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, 2016. This was the 32nd
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 will
be 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 conclusion, we would have none of the success we have enjoyed without the assistance of each and every
staff member, as well as the support and strategic direction from the Mayor and the City Council during the
strategic planning, pre- budget, and budget approval process.

To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note IT to the financial statements in 2018 the City adopted new accounting guidance from
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75 related to accounting for post - employment
benefits. This resulted in a restatement of prior year balances. Our opinion is not modified with respect to
this matter.
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, schedule of changes in net pension liabilities and
related ratios and the schedule of contributions, and other post employment benefits 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 required supplementary information 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, budgetary comparison information, and
schedule of changes in net pension liabilities and related ratios and the schedule of contributions, and the
other postemployment benefits 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 comparative financial statements, 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 comparative financial statements and 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 comparative, 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 March 19, 2019 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, 2018. 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
$213.4 million (net position). Of this amount, $35.8 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 $17.2 million. A significant portion of this increase, 45.9 %, 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 $53.7 million, an increase of $4.7 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 $13.4 million which is 53% of the general fund expenditures not including capital outlay.
The fund balance policy is to reserve at lease a 26% balance.
During the fiscal year, the City issued $16.475 million in general obligation bonds and certificates of
obligation of which $5.95 million is allocated to the proprietary fund.
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 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
5
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 thirteen 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, the economic development
corporation and the capital projects fund, all of which are considered to be major fiends. Data from the
other seven 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 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
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
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 fiend. 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 $213 million at the close of the
most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's total net position (71%) 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 (10.9 %) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $35.8
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
Business -Type activities accounted for 45.9% of the growth in the net position of the City of Schertz. Of
this increase, 54.6% 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 $53.7 million. Of this total amount, $12.6 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 $12.6 million, while total fund balance was $15.6 million,
an increase of $2.7 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 53% of total general fund expenditures, not including capital.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $1.1 million all of which is restricted for the payment of
debt service. The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the debt service fund was $0.4
million. The refunding resulted in a Net Present Value Saving of $566,500 and a current loss of $89,237.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $16.1 million, a decrease of $.9 million. The City
issued $4.845 million in new governmental bonds to supplement capital project activity during the year.
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 $33.0 million and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to $.5
million. The proprietary fund issued $5.595 million in new certificate of obligation to supplement capital
project activity during the year.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund expenditures were $2.7 million less than the $25.5 million budget. This was the result
of cost savings across most of the General Fund. Revenues were higher by $2.3 than budgeted. Overall,
the fund balance increased by $3.3 million higher than budgeted.
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, 2018, amounts to $218.2 million (net of accumulated depreciation). Developers
contributed $7.9 million in infrastructure 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.

RECONCILIATION OF BALANCE SHEET
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
TOTAL FUND BALANCE - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
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:
Bonds Payable
Unamortized Premiums, Discounts, Losses on Refundings
Capital Lease Payable
Accrued Interest Payable
Compensated Absences
Service Concession Arrangements (and related deferred inflows and outflows
of resources) do not consume current financial resources and are
not reported in governmental funds:
Service Concession Arrangement (Liability)
Service Concession Arrangement Receivable
Deferred Service Concessions
Net OPEB Liabilities (and related deferred inflows and outflows of
resources) do not consume current financial resources are not
reported in governmental funds:
OPEB Related Deferred Outflows

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
•' b b C ' 1 1
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS $ 4,651,886
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 7,476,978
Capital Contributions 4,744,489
Depreciation Expense (6,279,969) 5,941,498
Proceeds from capital asset dispositions produce current financial resources in the fund
statements, while the net gain (loss) is recognized in the Statement of Activities. This
is net book value of capital assets disposed. (372,594)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds. (11,446)
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 resources 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
(10,880,000)
Premiums Received from the Issuance of Debt
(269,212)
Payment to Refunding Escrow Agent
6,159,623
Principal Repayments
4,629,089
Amortization of Premiums, Discounts, Losses
29,856 (248,850)
Governmental funds report required contributions to employee pensions and OPEB's
as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of
the pension is recorded based on the actuarially determined cost of the
plan. This is the amount that actuarially determined pension and OPEB's
expense exceeded contributions. (31.3,730)
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:
Compensated Absences (157,475)
Accrued Interest 70,007 (87,468)

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
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 component unit:
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. For
financial reporting purposes, the SEDC is reported as if it were part of the City's operations because its
purpose is to benefit the citizens of the City. Complete financial statements for the Schertz Economic
Development Corporation may be obtained from City Hall.
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.
L 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.
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.

3. Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) — was created in 1971 and provides regional wastewater
services to the area northeast of San Antonio. The City and CCMC entered into a joint project to
develop a new treatment facility that will currently only serve the City. The project will have excess
capacity to serve other users in the future. The City is solely responsible for funding the project until
other users need capacity.
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 fiends 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).
These revenues are generally property taxes and warrants outstanding. 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
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.
Nonmaior Funds include Special Revenue funds (other than major projects and grants) and a Capital
Recovery Fund.
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 fund are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for enterprise fiends 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.

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 Eauivalents
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash is
reported as restricted when it has restrictions on its use narrower than the purpose of the fund in which it is
reported. This can result in differences in presentation between fund statements and government -wide
statements.
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 net asset value value of the pool shares.
The city reports investments at fair value based on hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure
an asset's fair value: Level 1 inputs are quotes prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs
are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Investments are
stated at fair value (plus accrued interest) except for money market investments and participating interest -
earning investment contracts (U.S. Treasuries) that have a remaining maturity at time of purchase of one year
or less. Those investments are stated at amortized cost.
F. Receivables and Payables
Activities between the funds that are representative of inter -fund 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

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
F. Receivables and Pavables (Continued)
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 and Prepaid Items
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.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid
items in both governmental -wide and fund financial statements and in the fund financial statements are offset
by a nonspendable fund balance which indicates they do not represent "available spendable resources ".
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, donated works of art and similar items received as part of a service
concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value. All other donated capital assets are valued at their
estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
I. Capital Assets (continued)
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. Deferred Inflows /Outflows of Resources
A deferred outflow of resources is a consumption of net position by the government that is applicable to a
future reporting period while a deferred inflow of resources is an acquisition of net position. These items are
presented in separate sections following assets (deferred outflows) or liabilities (deferred inflows) on the
statement of net position.
K. 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. The general fund, water and sewer fund and the EMS fund are used
to liquidate compensated absences.
L. Pensions
The net pension liability, deferred inflows, and outflows of resources related to pensions, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS),
and additions to and deductions from TMRS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis
as they are reported by TMRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee
contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
M. Other Post- Emblovment Benefits
The net position of the Texas municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and the City's Retiree Health Insurance
have been determined using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and full accrual basis of
accounting. This includes for the purposes of measuring OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to other post - employment benefits, OPEB expense, and information
about assets, liabilities and additions or deductions from the net position. Benefit payments are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. There are no investments as both OPEBs are
pay as you go.
N. Lona -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,
discounts, and losses on defeasance 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. Losses on defeasance
are reported as deferred outflows of resources. 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.
O. 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
O. Fund Equity (Cont.)
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.
P. 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.
Q. 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.
R. 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.
S. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the September 30, 2018 financial statements.
All comparative information for prior periods has been reclassified to match the new presentation. The
changes in presentation had no impact on the changes in net position or fund balance.
T. Adoption of Statement No. 75
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 75, the City has recorded a prior period adjustment to recognize the
Other Post - Employment Benefits Liability as described in Note. The OPEB liability was allocated between
the general and proprietary funds to restate beginning balances in accordance with the statement. The
restatement is noted as a prior period adjustment on the Government -wide Statement of Activities, as well as
the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position — Proprietary Funds.

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, 2018, 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. As of September 30, 2018, the City's investments in debt securities
were rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's.
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, 2018, 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.
Restricted Cash — Cash is restricted in the Proprietary fund for construction projects, impact fees and
customer deposits.

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, 2017, upon which the fiscal 2018 levy was based, was $3,431,208,548 (i.e., market value
less exemptions). The estimated market value was $4,546,451,734 making the taxable value 75.5% 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, 2018, was $0.4910 per $100 of assessed value, which
means that the City has a tax margin of $2.009 for each $1.00 value and could increase its annual tax levy by
approximately $68,932,979 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.

Texas Municipal Retirement System (Continued)
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and the
City - financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may choose to
receive their retirement benefit in one of seven payment options. Members may also choose to receive a
portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36 monthly
payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.
At the December 31, 2017 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the
benefit terms:
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits
Inactive Employees Entitled to but Not Yet Receiving Benefits
Active employees
Contributions
2016 2017
84 98
155 166
317 322
556 586
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5 %, 6 %, or 7% of employee gross earnings, and the
City matching percentages are either 100 %, 150 %, or 200 %, both as adopted by the governing body of the
City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually by the
actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an
additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal year.
The contribution rates for the City were 15.94% and 15.87% in calendar years 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2018 . were $2,971,592 and were equal to
the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2017, and the Total Pension
Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
that date.

Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall Payroll Growth 3.0% per year
Investment Rate of Return* 6.75%
* Presented net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation
Salary increases were based on a service - related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and
beneficiaries were based on the gender - distinct RP2000 Combined Health Mortality Table, with male rates
multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103 %. The rates are projected on a fully generational
basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the gender - distinct
RP2000 Disabled Retiree Mortality Tables with Blue Collar adjustment are used with males rates multiplied
by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103% with a 3 -year set - forward for both males and females. IN
addition, a 3% minimum mortality rate is applied to reflect the impairment for younger members who
become disabled. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future
mortality improvements subject to the 3% floor.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2017 valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The experience study in TMRS was for the period December 31, 2010 through
December 31, 2014. Healthy post - retirement mortality rates and annuity purchase rates were updated based
on a Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011, and dated December 31, 2013.
These assumptions were first used in the December 31, 2013 valuation, along with a change to the Entry Age
Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. Assumptions are reviewed annually. Plan assets are managed on a
total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order
to satisfy the short-term and long -term funding needs of TMRS.
The long -term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building -block
method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension
plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined
to produce the long -term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding the expected inflation. In determining their best estimate of a
recommended investment return assumption under the various alternative asset allocation portfolios, GRS
focused on the area between (1) arithmetic mean (aggressive).

The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75 %. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the rates
specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be
available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore,
the long -term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

NOTE 12 — OTHER POST - EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
TMRS Supplemental Death Benefits Other Post- Employment Benefit
The City also participates in the cost sharing single- employer defined benefit group -term life insurance plan
operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the 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 post - employment
benefit," or OPEB. Membership in the plan at December 31, 2017, the valuation and measurement date,
consisted of-
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits

City of Schertz Retiree Health Other Post- Employment Benefit Plan
In addition to the TMRS OPEB, The City administers a single - employer defined benefit healthcare plan for
retirees, established under legal authority of the City Charter. The City is the only employer participating in
the Plan. The Plan does not issue a publicly available financial report.
The City provides post - employment benefits for eligible participants enrolled in City- sponsored plans. The
benefits are provided in the form of an implicit rate subsidy where the City contributes towards the retiree
health premiums before achieving Medicare eligibility. While the Plan offers retiree only rates, a very small
implicit liability still exists. Membership in the plan as of September 30, 2018, the measurement date,
consisted of-
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits
Inactive Employees Entitled to but Not Yet Receiving Benefits
Active employees
2017 .

Current active employees must be eligible for service retirement under the Texas Municipal Retirement
System. To attain this eligibility active employees must be at least age 60 with 5 years of service or have at
least 20 years of employment with the City. When a regular, full -time employee retires, they are eligible to
maintain their coverage in the City's group health coverage. The City does not provide an explicit subsidy
for retiree medical insurance. The liability for the city is due to the implicit rate.
* The City made no direct contributions for monthly premiums. The retirees pay 1.02% of the monthly
premiums which range based on the type of plan from $491.72 for retiree only to $1737.24 for a retiree and
their family.

COMPLIANCE SECTION
133
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, 2018, 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
March 19, 2019.
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
March 19, 2019.
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.
