report we are posturing preemptively to COVID -19. The City wants to be part
of the solution and not part of the problem and will continue to address the
situation on a daily and weekly basis providing City Manager Dr. Browne,
Mayor Ralph Gutierrez, and Council daily updates as they become available.
City Manager Dr. Mark Browne summarized by stating the Library and
Senior Center will be closed on Monday, March 16, for seven days. Next
Friday we will make another determination whether to extend the seven days
or re -open. We plan to continue this evaluation on a weekly basis until we
have other data that causes us to take differnent action. He also restated the
two events that will be canceled:
• The Star Party March 28, at Crescent Bend Nature Park.
• Moving on Main April 5. Options will be considered to re- schedule.
Dr. Browne stated all of our parks will remain open unless things progress any
further.
Mayor Gutierrez opened the floor for questions /comments from Council.
Concerns were as follows:
• Senior Citizens maintain the meals provided by the Senior Center.
• Senior Citizens becoming isolated.
• Activities in our Community Center while remaining a higher
standard of cleanliness.
Mayor Gutierrez remarked we are trying to minimize the spread of
COVID-19 should we have a confirmed case. We also want to provide the
public a sense of awareness of the City's proactive stance while remaining
calm.
Mayor Gutierrez recognized City Manager Dr. Mark Brown who discussed
messaging for our employees. With the school district closing next week we
are making every effort to work with our employees who have to take care of
11
their children, and they can't on short notice find childcare. We're going to
work with them and do our best to accommodate those needs.
Councilmember Dahle asked the city to continue to provide accurate and
timely information to avoid panicking and unnecessary behavior.
Mayor Gutierrez thanked the Councilmembers for coming in during this
emergency meeting and thanked all who attended.

City Council March 24, 2020
Meeting:
Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Ordinance 20 -s -08 - Consideration and/or action for an Ordinance on a request to
rezone approximately 0.5 acres of land to Public Use District (PUB), located at
13805 IH -10 E, City of Schertz, Bexar County,Texas. Final Reading (B. James /L.
Wood/N. Koplyay)
BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 0.5 acres of land to Public Use District (PUB)
located 13805 IH -10E in order to utilize the property as a lift station. The subject property is currently
in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), and pursuant to LGC 43.035 and LGC 212.172 the
property is under a delayed annexation development agreement executed in July 2010. This agreement
between the City of Schertz and Riedel. Acquisition, LLC was to be in effect for a ten -year period.
Before the maturation of this agreement, the City of Schertz purchased approximately 0.5 acres (the
subject property) of the original approximately 86 acre tract from Riedel Acquisition, LLC.
On February 25th the Schertz City Council adopted a resolution accepting a petition for voluntary
annexation of the subject property (R- 20 -19). The adoption of this resolution allows the City to move
forward with the annexation and zone change proceedings; the first readings of the official annexation
ordinance (20 -A -07) and this zone change ordinance (20 -S -08) will be heard at the March 10th. City
Council meeting,
Three (3) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners on February 14th in
preparation for the February 26th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, and a public hearing
notice was published in the SA Express News in preparation for the March 10th City Council Meeting.
At the time of this report, Staff has not received any responses from the public.
GOAL
The project goal is to rezone the subject property to Public Use District (PUB) in order to develop the
property as a lift station.
W1131U11101111I1d:39101g191If11
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City's vision of future growth.
The Comprehensive Plan, through the Future Land Use Plan and the South Schertz Sector Plan,
designates the subject property as Agricultural Conservation. The Agricultural Conservation land use
designation is intended to preserve much of South Schertz in a rural /agricultural state. The proposed
rezone is in conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan because the Public
Use District (PUB) will allow the City to develop the property as a lift station, which improves the
City's ability to serve our residents and allow for safe and orderly development.
The subject property is also currently surrounded by an undeveloped property under a delayed
annexation development agreement, and
undeveloped property that is zoned Pre - Development District (PRE), and the IH -10 Right -Of -Way.
Therefore, the proposed zone change should have no adverse impact to the existing and potential
adjacent land uses.
RECOMMENDATION
The City of Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on February 26, 2020, and
offered a recommendation of approval by unanimous vote.
Based on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, adjacent undeveloped Pre - Development District zoned
property, and undeveloped delayed annexation development agreement property, the proposed Public
Use District zoning should have no adverse impact to the existing and potential adjacent land uses and
is appropriate for the future development of the area. Staff recommends approval of the proposed zone
change application.

Meeting:
Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Ordinance No. 20 -A -07 - Consideration and /or action for an Ordinance on a request
for voluntary annexation of approximately 0.5 acres of land located at 13805
I11-10 E, Bexar County,Texas. Final Reading (B. James /L. Wood /N. Koplyay)
Annexation of land into the City's corporate limits may be voluntary or involuntary. Each type has
Texas Local Government Code (LGC) requirements that identify the necessary process based on the
annexation type. The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 21.4.8 includes provisions that
apply to requests for voluntary annexation meeting certain criteria. This section of the City's UDC
includes provisions for processing of voluntary annexation requests. In accordance with LGC 43.035
and LGC 212.172 a delayed annexation development agreement was executed for the subject property
in July 2010. This agreement between the City of Schertz and Riedel Acquisition, LLC was to be in
effect for a ten -year period. Since the execution of this agreement, the City of Schertz has purchased
approximately 0.5 acres (the subject property) of the original approximately 86 acre tract from Riedel
Acquisition, LLC.
At the February 25th meeting the Schertz City Council adopted a resolution accepting a petition for
voluntary annexation of the subject property (R- 20 -19). The adoption of this resolution allows the City
to move forward with the annexation proceedings, and the City has now filed an application for
voluntary annexation of the approximately 0.5 acres through this Ordinance: 20 -A -07. The annexation
ordinance will be followed by a zone change ordinance (20 -5 -08) to rezone the subject property to
Public Use District (PUB).
A public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express News on February 19th in
preparation for the March I Oth City Council. Meeting, and at the time of this report Staff has not
received any repsonses from the public.
GOAL
The City of Schertz is requesting voluntary annexation into the City of Schertz in order to utilize the
property as a lift station to better serve the residents of South Schertz, and to allow for the continuation
of safe and orderly development.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Promote the safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City's vision of future
growth.

City Council of the City of Schertz extending a declaration of local disaster;

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the COVID -19 outbreak should be
characterized as a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, Greg Abbott, the Governor of the State of Texas
issued a proclamation that declared COVID -19 as an imminent threat of disaster. On or around March
15, 2020, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued revised guidance regarding
social distancing and mass gatherings of 10 or more people.
City staff and personnel continue to work with the state, federal, local authorities and our emergency
management team to pay close attention to the federal government's response to the Coronavirus issue.
The City has taken measures to close /cancel facilities and events through April 5, 2020. The city has
canceled all non - essential boards and commission meetings as well as any City sponsored social events
and activities through this time as well.
We believe that limiting staff interaction with the public is crucial at this point, and as such, effective
immediately, the lobby doors at all City facilities except the Police Department (Building 1, aka City
Hall, will be closed). The drive through window will continue to be open at City Hall. Notices of
closures have been placed on City related buildings.
On Friday, March 20, 2020, Mayor Gutierrez proclaimed and signed a Declaration of Public Health
Emergency to be effective at 11 :59 p.m. and until. March 27, 2020 for the City of Schertz. The purpose
of this Ordinance is to be able to extend the Declaration of Public Health Emergency for 60 days.
GOAL
Is to decrease the spread of the virus throughout our Community and slow transmission as much as
possible.

also known as the Windy Meadows Subdivision Unit 4.First Reading (B. James/L.
Wood/N. Koplyay)
BACKGROUND
The subject property is platted as the Windy Meadows Subdivision Unit 4, and is currently developed
with 39 existing manufactured homes.
Thirteen (13) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners on February 14, 2020
in preparation of the February 26, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting and a public hearing
notice was published in the San Antonio Express on March 4, 2020 in preparation for the March 24,
2020 City Council Meeting. At the time of this staff report, staff has received zero (0) responses to the
public hearing notices.
The following project representative spoke at the February 26, 2020 Planning & Zoning Commission
public hearing:
* Craig Schellbach, Development Manager, Yes Communities
GOAL
The request is to rezone approximately 12.5 acres of land from Manufactured Home Park District
(MHP) to Planned Development District (PDD). Under the proposed PDD Development Standards, the
base zoning for the subject property will remain MHP.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City's vision of future growth.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The request is to rezone approximately 12.5 acres of land from Manufactured Home Park District
(MHP) to Planned Development District (PDD). Under the proposed PDD Development Standards, the
base zoning for the subject property will remain MHP. The modifications to the Unified Development
Code (UDC) proposed in the PDD Development Standards are regarding Unified Development Code
Section 21.6.2 Manufactured Home Parks.
The first major amendment to the UDC is to 21.6.2.0 Minimum Site Requirements, regarding the
regulation of the spatial relationship between the manufactured homes and other dwellings, access
easements, and public Right-Of-Way. Under the current code, each manufactured home shall exist
inside a designated manufactured home space /slip sized to be a minimum of sixty feet (60') by one
hundred ten feet (110'). There are also specific open space requirements for the manufactured homes in
relation to the
individual slip:
1. The minimum front yard setback for each manufactured home space shall be twenty -five feet
(25') from the nearest corner of the manufactured home to the front line of the manufactured
home space.
2. No manufactured home shall be closer than ten feet (10') from any side space line or twenty -five
feet (25') to a space line adjoining a public street.
3. For other structures on each space, the minimum setback from any space line shall be at least ten
feet (10').
4. The minimum distance between manufactured homes at any point shall be twenty -five feet (25').
Under the proposed PDD Development Standards, the manufactured homes will no longer be required
to exist within individual spaces /slips, and instead the spatial relationships of the structures within the
manufactured home park will be regulated based on three simple setbacks:
Each dwelling unit shall have a minimum setback of twenty feet (20') from all other dwelling
units. Any structure attached to the home shall be considered a part of the home and must
maintain separation distance.
Each dwelling unit shall have a minimum setback of fifteen feet (15') from access easements (the
private 'streets' within the manufactured home park).
Each dwelling unit shall have a minimum setback of ten feet (10') from public Right -Of -Way
and perimeter property fencing.
These specific setbacks meet all applicable building and fire code regulations and were crafted with the
assistance of our Chief Building Official and Fire Marshall. The proposed setbacks focus on being
concise without compromising life safety standards by removing the individual spaces /slips and just
regulating the homes based on setbacks. The two major benefits of the proposed setbacks are that
they're easier to understand and measure for our Building Inspectors and property owners when
re- orienting homes, and they allow for much more flexibility on the part of the property owner to tailor
their manufactured homes park to the residents that live there; instead of ensuring that new homeowners
have a manufactured home that will fit in the existing slip that was designed for a different home, the
property owner will be allowed to place the new manufactured home wherever the setbacks allow.
Manufactured homes are built to be various different shapes and sizes, so the flexibility granted via the
setbacks will hopefully allow for a greater variety of manufactured homes. These new regulations are
not only easier to follow and more flexible for the property owner, but they more closely align with how
the property exists on paper as well; all manufactured home parks are subdivision platted as one lot
with access easements acting as the private streets, so it makes more sense to regulate only setbacks
instead of spaces /slips that are treated as little lots. These regulations are unique to the City, and if they
successfully improve the manufactured home permitting process for both the property owner and the
Planning and Community Development Department then they will hopefully provide a foundation for
future Unified Development Code amendments.
The second major amendment to the UDC is to 21.6.2.13, regarding the required parking within the
manufactured home park. The proposed PDD Development Standards will still require a private parking
pad to serve each house, consisting of two ten foot (10') x twenty foot (20') parking spaces; however,
common area parking will now also be provided in the form of 32 parking spaces along Red Bud Way
and Marigold Lane and 3 temporary parking spaces at the terminus of Rain Lily Lane adjacent to Future
Live Oak Road. The temporary spaces will remain in effect until Live Oak Road is constructed at that
location and connects to Rain Lily Lane.
The third major amendment to the UDC is the addition of 21.6.17, regarding screening and landscape
buffering along Future Live Oak and Maske Road. A five foot (5') buffer shall be placed along the
proposed alignment of Live Oak Road, which will include a masonry screening fence between six foot
(6') and eight foot (8') in height, and various landscaping items: eight planters spaced between eighty
feet (80') - one hundred feet (1.00') apart, each including a total of 1.2.5 caliper inches of trees planted
with a minimum tree size of 2.5 caliper inches and 20 shrubs with a minimum size of 5 gallons each.
These landscaping standards will allow the applicant to use a variety of different tree species to satisfy
the requirements in each of the planting areas along Live Oak, and the grouping of the landscaping into
planters spaced at varying intervals will hopefully allow the landscaping to look more natural and
established. There will also be an upgraded screening fence consisting of treated lumber with top rail
and masonry columns placed at maximum intervals of forty feet (40'), or a full masonry fence between
six foot (6') and eight foot (8') in height. The screening fence upgrade along Maske Road will last much
longer than the currently deteriorating wood vinyl fencing, and will allow the area to be properly
maintained over time.
The Comprehensive Plan, through the Future Land Use Plan, identifies the subject property as both
Manufactured Housing and Single- Family Residential. The proposed rezone to Planned Development
District (PDD) will have a base zoning of Manufactured Home Park (MHP), so it is also compatible
with the future land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed zone change will allow for concise regulation of the spatial relationship between
manufactured homes and other dwellings, access easements, and public Right -Of- -Way that is unique to
the City, and will also allow the City to benefit from improved landscaping and screening standards
along a Residential Collector roadway featured on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed rezone
is also in conformance with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zone change by unanimous vote;
Staff also recommends approval of the zone change as submitted.

• General
Yes Communities Manufactured Home Park is a proposed 12.825 acre single family residential type of
development designed for the placement of homes that are transported to the site by means of attached
axles or trailers. The site is located off of Maske Road approximately 1,500 feet west of Schertz Parkway
within the City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas. The property is partly developed with a
manufactured home park, private streets, water, sewer, and electric lines serving the property consisting
of approximately 12.85 acres. The owners wish to continue developing the remaining portion of the
property; however the city's master thoroughfare plan has the extension of Live Oak running through the
subject tract as well as the site needing a second access point. This road dedication, floodplain and city's
new changes to the development articles regarding manufactured homes will not allow for the
continuation of the existing tract size, spacing or layout of the development as platted.
This development has been previously platted as one lot, Unit 4 Windy Meadows, and has an approved
master plan. There is currently one lot as platted with multiple "Spaces" for manufactured homes. This
development will not be creating or dividing out the ownership of the property, just provide lease spaces
that will house the manufactured homes.
The Planned Development District (PDD) as described in the following documents will outline how the
development can utilize the existing infrastructure while upholding a greater design standard for the
manufactured home park.
• Purpose
Provide for adequate space and site diversification for residential purposes that accommodate the design .
criteria of manufactured homes as used for single family residences. This PDD will allow for adequate
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, promote housing densities compatible with existing and future public
support facilities, promote the best desirable land use for this property as well as promote stability of this
development.
• Development Standards
This property will develop in accordance with the provisions of the City of Schertz unified Development
Code (UDC) as amended. This property will develop in accordance with the base zoning district of
Manufactured Home Parks District (MHP) with the following modifications.

City Council March 24, 2020
Meeting:
Agenda No. 7.
Department: Police Department
Subject: Proposed Amendment - Chapter 1.4- Animal Control - A presentation by Schertz
Animal Services to propose and discuss an ordinance of the City of Schertz,
Texas, amending chapter 14- Animal Control, of the code of Ordinances;
providing for mandatory micro chipping regulations for dogs and cats; therefore
removing the requirement for an annual city license for dogs and cats. (C.
Kelm /M. Bane /S. Solitto)
I ��S] X" ZI111►17
The current trend, state wide, is going away from annual licensing and issued metal "dog tags" and
moving toward mandatory micro chipping in pets. Metal tags are essentially 19th century technology,
which can come off, get Lost or be switched between animals. A microchip is implanted under the skin
and is always with the animal. A mandatory micro chipping ordinance is the best possible way to
ensure a lost pet is reunited with its owner. Every animal that comes in to Schertz Animal Services is
scanned for a microchip. When a chip is found, staff can contact the registration company and get the
owner's name, the pets name, age, as well as the phone number, address and even the email of the
owner. This is the most effective and efficient way to reunite lost pets with their owners, which has
already been adopted by many large municipalities such as the City of San. Antonio. This ordinance was
presented to the Animal Advisory Board at the quarterly meeting on February 5, 2020, and received the
support of the Advisory Board.
The community benefit is having the ability to quickly reunite pets with their owners. The Animal
Services shelter and vehicles are equipped with a microchip scanners, allowing staff to scan for
microchips. This provides the potential for pets to be returned to their owners quickly, therefore
reducing animal population at the shelter. When animal population is reduced in the shelter, overall
operational costs are also reduced. This ordinance also removes the requirement for pet owners to make
annual visits to Animal Services to renew a license. Microchips are done once and remain for the life of
the animal.
Schertz Animal Services provides a microchipping service for $15.00. This includes implanting the
chip and registration with 24Petwatch for the life of the animal.

City Council
March 24, 2020
Meeting:
Department:
City Secretary
Subject:
General Fund Reserve and major projects - Discussion on general fund reserve and
major projects that are currently in execution or projected to be in executing
during this fiscal year. (Item requested by Mayor Gutierrez) (M. Browne /B.
James /J. Walters)
BACKGROUND
Mayor Gutierrez requested that this be placed on the agenda for discussion to review current projects
under contract and other future projects. This item will cover the current position of the General Fund
Reserve. Also, discussed will be a review of the current economic situation both nationally and in
Schertz. Finally, we discuss possible areas of reduction in revenues for the city as a result of the
downturn.
Attachments
Fund Balance and Economic Situation
The following is a summary of the current unrestricted fund balance. The unrestricted fund balance, as
the name implies, can be spent on anything. The City also has a number restricted funds that have
balances such as donations, child safety fee, court security fee, any of the bond funds, EMS reserve fund,
and the water /sewer reserve fund. These restricted fund balances can only be spent on their designated
uses.
Unrestricted Fund Balance
1. Current Unrestricted = $15,351,285 planned to go to $10,455,370 in current budget
a. Target 26% minimum = $9,000,000
b. Above minimum = $1,500,000 that is not planned to be spent at this time
c. 25% disaster recovery - $8,600,00
d. 1% economic contingency = $400,000
2. Upcoming Large Projects /Expenses:
a. Capital Improvement Projects = $4,000,000 Road, Drainage Sidewalk Projects
b. 9 positions added per FY 2019 -20 Budget but delayed until Staffing Study = $415,500*
c. Class & Comp Implementation = $275,000*
d. Merit Increases = $181,000*
* These are recurring items
Current US wide economic expectations is that the next quarter we'll have a worse market contraction
than in the 2008 recession. But JP Morgan expects a larger expansion in the 3rd and a normal expansion
4th quarter. For the calendar year there is expected to be a small overall contraction. Millions of workers
will be laid off through the hardest hit industries including hotels, restaurants, and airlines. Some
companies are hiring for increased demand including grocery stores and delivery services but it won't be
enough to offset the layoffs. Both the hiring and layoffs are said to be temporary right now, which will
translate to the bounce back expected in the third and fourth quarters, with most laid off employees
expected to be hired back.
For Schertz we will probably see a stop in growth for sales taxes for the end of the current FY and the
beginning of next FY. For the current FY we've received an audit adjustment grant of $266,000 as an
additional lump sum payment for the General Fund that was misreported previously and we are currently
over expectations by an additional by $109,000. At this time sales tax may be right on target for the overall
Fiscal Year with the slow down eating up our $375,000 gains. Next Fiscal Year with the slow down still
expected for the City's first quarter, sales tax may not grow as fast as previously forecasted meaning the
budget for next year may need to be adjusted by $40,000.
Staff will keep an eye on the additional shutdowns that were announced and revise estimates as
necessary. The largest difficulty is staff will not know the exact impact on sales taxes for another 2 months
when we'll get the March sales tax payment.
A bigger concern will be the loss of investment income. Normally the City's investment return follows the
federal funds rate which was slashed to near zero, just like in the 2008 recession. However, interest rates
are not dropping as the Fed expected. At least not yet. Interest rates are rising instead and we are caught
in the middle. Our investment accounts have dropped in return but not to the levels of 2008. For the
current year that means the City would be out by $150,000, down from our first estimate of $300,000. As
the economy recovers we may see interest rates drop to their intended levels and the City will need to
make up the $300,000 revenue reduction in the next FY.
There could be options for the City to invest in some longer term securities to help offset this loss. Staff
will be exploring these opportunities while balancing the need to keep cash on hand.
The City has also closed the Civic Center and other facility rentals. Staff is first trying to find another date
for events but is offering full refunds if the customer chooses. The longer this goes on the more this will
affect the City and staff is currently estimating 1 /4th loss of revenue or $50,000. The civic center is still
very booked for the year so if this clears up the impact could be minimal.
Initially the Court was expected to have a minimal impact as the cancelation in Court days only delays
when the City will collect on those fines as it did not waive any fees or fines on defendants. However, with
the reduced traffic on the roads and fewer citizens active in the community, fewer citations are being
issued with could decrease revenue from the Court by an estimated $82,000. Additional decreases could
be seen the longer this event goes on.
Permits issued 14 single family permits and 3 new commercial permits yesterday and have not seen a big
slow down yet. Construction crews can still be seen working in the City. But staff will keep an eye on these
to see any impacts and will update the projections at that time.
Overall the City's revenue projections for the Current FY are a loss of $282,000 that will need to be made
up in reduced or delayed expenses to stay on target. $150,000 from investments, $50,000 from Civic
Center, and $82,000 from Court shortfalls.
The two biggest questions are when will the current state of affair (restaurants, gyms, schools shut down)
and when and to what degree the economy will recover.

We have audited the financial statements of the City of Schertz, Texas (the "City") as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2019, and have issued our report thereon dated March 18, 2020. Professional
standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated August 6, 2019, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been
prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance 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 the City 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, and, as appropriate, our firm have complied with all
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
As a part of the engagement we assisted in preparing the financial statements and related notes to
the financial statements of the City in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These
nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services were not
conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
OFFICE LOCATIONS
TEXAS Waco I Temple 1 Hillsboro Houston AICP
NEW MEXICO Albuquerque GAQC Member
In order to ensure we maintain our independence for performing these nonaudit services certain
safeguards were applied to this engagement. Management assumed responsibility for the financial statements and
related notes to the financial statements and any other nonaudit services we provided. Management
acknowledged in the management representation letter our assistance with the preparation of the financial
statements and related notes to the financial statements and that these items were reviewed and approved prior
to their issuance and accepted responsibility for them. Further, the nonaudit services were overseen by an
individual within management that has the suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluated the adequacy and
results of the services; and accepted responsibility for them.
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 the City is included in Note I to the financial statements. There
have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their
application during fiscal year 2019. 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:
Management's estimate of the useful lives of capital assets is based on the expected lifespan of the asset
in accordance with standard guidelines. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop
the estimate of useful lives in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements
taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible court fines and delinquent property taxes
receivable are based on historical collections. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to
develop the allowance for uncollectible court fines in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible EMS receivable is based on historical
collections. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance for EMS
revenues in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole and
in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management's estimate of the net pension and total OPEB liabilities and related expenses are based on
actuarial assumptions which are determined by the demographics of the plan and future projections that
the actuarial makes based on historical information of the plan and the investment market. We evaluated
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension and total OPEB liabilities and pension
and OPEB expenses 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 the City's
financial statements relate to the net pension and OPEB liabilities. The disclosures in the financial statements
are neutral, consistent, and clear.
2
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance 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.
Management has corrected all identified misstatements.
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.
None of the misstatements identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by
management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a
whole or applicable opinion units.
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

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control

Other Matters Based onan Audit ofFinancial
Statements Performed in Accordance with
INTRODUCTORY SECTION
THIS PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY
February 1, 2020
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, 2019.
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 Pattillo, Brown & Hill, LLP 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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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 41,057 in 2018 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 -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 terms, 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, library
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 30th. 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 fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund, this
comparison is presented in the required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents.
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 2019. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
reported that the San Antonio Business -Cycle Index, of which Schertz data is incorporated, grew 3.2% year
over year for September 2019. This increase in the Index shows this region is still in a state of economic
expansion. As of October 2019, the unemployment rate for Texas was 3.3% 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 2.9 percent during this time.
The City of Schertz realized a 1.4% decrease year- over -year in sales tax collections during the fiscal year. One
time Sales Tax contributions generated from the construction sector lead the increase in FY 2017 -18 for
16.8% and Schertz was able to nearly maintain that level of generation from sales taxes generated in other
sectors. Revenue generated from these sources can fluctuate year by year with the amount of high value
projects.
During the 2019 calendar year, Schertz saw a diverse range of new product added to its real estate market.
These projects spanned from commercial developments and retail space to a hotel and a major entertainment
venue. The largest commercial, industrial project completed this year includes Tri County Crossing Buildings 1
(96,978 sf) and 2 (I 06,424 sf), both located at 17750 Lookout Road. These buildings are 2 of 5 planned Tri
County Crossing buildings being developed by EastGroup Properties. Staybridge Suites opened a 97 room,
extended stay hotel on the comer of Schertz Parkway and Interstate 35, adding over 71,000 sf of space to
Schertz' lodging footprint. EVO Entertainment's opened their 73,330 sf, state -of- the -art theater to the public
in Quarter 1. Ryder Truck completed work on an expansion of their existing facility located at 9993 Doerr
Lane, adding 19,226 sf of space to their Schertz location. According to 2019 Quarter 4 data provided by the
City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation, the Schertz market has an industrial vacancy rate of
8.2 %, down from the previous quarter's 9.4 %. Average asking rates for the industrial sector stood at $5.59
NNN, a decrease of $0.02 from the third quarter of 2019.
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.
fu
In November 2015, the City placed 2 bond propositions before the voters totaling $15 million. $7 million was
for FM roadways 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. $2 million for
the FM roadways have been issued and sent to the Texas Department of Transportation for improvements on
FM 1103 as of July 2018. In June 2018, 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 2018 -19, the City's main initiatives that had a major budget impact
were the implementation of the fourth and final year recommendation of the Classification and Compensation
Study to bring the wages up to a more competitive level, a new Classification and Compensation Study to
determine our new market position, a Staff Study to evaluate department efficiencies and personnel
placement, and add 9 new positions. In addition, the General Fund will transfer $4 million from reserves into
the capital project fund for road, sidewalk, and drainage improvements.
The new personnel will be decided by a staffing study results in January 2020.
Financial Information:
Internal Control. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed to
ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to provide adequate accounting
information compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles for local governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA). The internal control system is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute
assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of an
internal control should not exceed the benefits derived from the internal control. The City utilizes financial
accounting software which is designed with a system of internal controls. These controls are continually being
reevaluated to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances.
Budget Controls. The City also utilizes budgetary controls. Legally expenditures cannot exceed the
appropriated amount. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with the adopted
budget approved by the City Council as mandated by the city charter and state law. The levels of budgetary
control are established at the line -item basis and at the fund level. 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. A more detailed summary of the City's
Financial Performance is available in the Management Discussion and Analysis.
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 Pattillo, Brown & Hill, LLP. 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, 2018. This was the 34th 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.
FIT
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.

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, Texas, as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Schertz, Texas' basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The 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 did not
audit the financial statements of the Schertz- Seguin Local Government Corporation or the Cibolo Valley Local
Government Corporation, which collectively represent 8.3 percent 10.0 percent, respectively, of the assets
and net position of the Water and Sewer Fund, and 8.0 percent and 9.9 percent, respectively, of the assets
and net position of the business -type activities. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Schertz -
Seguin Local Government Corporation and Cibolo Valley Local Government Corporation, is based solely on the
report of the other auditors. 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, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, 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 the City of
Schertz, Texas, as of September 30, 2019, 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.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
The City of Schertz, Texas' fiscal year 2018 financial statements were previously audited by another
auditor, and an unmodified audit opinion was expressed on those audited financial statements in a report
dated March 19, 2019. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for
the year ended September 30, 2018 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial
statements from which it has been derived.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, 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. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which consisted of inquiries of management 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 the information 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 the City of Schertz, Texas' basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility
of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules 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 them.
2
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 18,
2020, on our consideration of the City of Schertz, Texas' internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on 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 the City of Schertz, Texas' internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S 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, 2019. 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 and deferred outflows of the City of Schertz exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the
most recent fiscal year by $235,636,559 (net position). Of this amount, $36,174,725 (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 $22,258,565. The primary reason for this increase was due to a prior
period adjustment in the business -type activities recognizing the City's equity interest in joint ventures. Of the
remaining increase, a significant portion, 30.4 %, 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
$56,834,378, an increase of $857,191 in comparison with the prior year. The primary cause of this increase was an
increase of $1.7 million in property tax revenues compared to the prior year. This increase in revenue was caused by
an increase in assessed values due to the City's continued population growth.
At the end of the fiscal year, the combined total of the General Fund assigned and unassigned fund balances was
$10,119,933 which is 35.94% of the general fund expenditures not including capital outlay. The fund balance policy
is to reserve at least a 26% balance.
During the fiscal year, the City issued $16,065,000 in general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation, of which
$6.2 million is allocated to the proprietary funds. The debt was issued primarily to fund certain capital projects and to
refund existing obligations with a present value savings.
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 activities of the
City of Schertz include a water and sewer department and an emergency medical services department.
4
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Schertz, like other state and
local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance - related legal
requirements. The funds of the City of Schertz can be divided into two categories: governmental and proprietary.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near term inflows and outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information is useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long -term impact of the government's near -term financing decisions.
Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities.
The City of Schertz maintains 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 funds. 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 funds to account for its water and sewer department and for its emergency medical services
department.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more
detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water and sewer department
and for the emergency medical services department, both of which are considered to be major funds of the City of
Schertz.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the City's general fund budgetary schedule. The City of
Schertz adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been
provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The economic development corporation
also adopts an annual budget, and a comparison schedule for it also is provided in the required supplementary
information.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non -major governmental funds are presented
immediately following the required supplementary information.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve overtime as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the
case of the City of Schertz, assets exceeded liabilities by $235,636,559 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's total net position (67 %) 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 (17.5 %) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $36,174,725, may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz is able to report positive balances in all three categories of
net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental
and business -type
activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

Business -Type activities accounted for 74% of the growth in the net position of the City of Schertz. Of this increase,
12% 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 $56,834,378. Of this total amount, $9,228,612 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 $9,228,612, while total fund balance was $17,539,029,
an increase of $1,908,576 from the prior year. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be
useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance represents 35.9% of total general fund expenditures, not including capital.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $1,002,226, 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 $97,632. This
decrease was due to a current loss on refunding bonds. Overtime, however, the refunding is expected to result in a
present value savings.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $13,114,310, a decrease of $2,942,455. This decrease was
caused by the expenditure of accumulated funds for planned capital projects. Additionally, the capital projects fund
accumulated bond proceeds of $4.6 million to fund future capital projects.
P
The Economic Development Fund presents the activities of the Schertz Economic Development Corporation (the
"EDC "), which promotes economic development activities using a portion of the City's sales tax revenue. At yearend,
the EDC fund reported an ending fund balance of $21,777,256, which is an increase of $3,965,288 compared to the
prior year. The primary cause of this change was due to the EDC expending less funds than budgeted compared to
stable revenues.
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 $32,582,296 and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to $671,712, which are 130% and 10% of
fund operating costs, respectively. During the fiscal year, the Water /Sewer fund issued $6.2 million of general
obligation bonds and certificates of obligation to fund additional capital projects.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund expenditures were $2,286,094 less than the $30,442,235 budget. This was the result of cost
savings across most of the General Fund. Revenues were higher by $2,059,821 than budgeted, primarily due to
increased tax revenues over budgeted. Overall, the fund balance increased by $4,273,202 higher than budgeted.
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, 2019, amounts to $230,609,853 (net of accumulated depreciation). Developers contributed $1.9
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 noes to the basic financial statements.

LONG TERM DEBT
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz had total bonded debt outstanding of $82,545,120. The
related principal and interest payment for the bonds are backed by an annual ad valorem tax levied against all
taxable property within the City. The City of Schertz maintains a "AA +" rating from Standard and Poors. Additional
information on the City's long -term debt can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
At the end of the last fiscal year, the assigned and unassigned fund balance in the general fund increased to
$9,228,612. At the end of the last fiscal year, the assigned and unassigned fund balance in the general fund
increased to $15.1 million. The City of Schertz has appropriated $4 million of this amount for spending in the 2020
fiscal year budget in accordance to the City's fund balance policy. The approved tax rate remained the same at
$0.5146 per $100 of valuation. Each year the City updates its five -year budgeting forecast and has implemented a
long -term debt model to assist management in making informed financial decisions that will impact the community
now and in the future.

RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
Total Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ 56,834,378
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources
and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. 143,800,297
Bonds payable and accrued compensated absences will not be liquidated with
current financial resources and, therefore, have not been included in the fund
financial statements. ( 66,337,098)
Interest payable on long -term debt is accrued in the government -wide financial
statements, whereas in the fund financial statements, interest expenditures are
reported when due. ( 353,793)
Premiums on bond issuances and deferred losses on bond refunding are recorded
as other financing sources and uses when paid in the fund financial statements but
are capitalized and amortized in the government -wide financial statements over
the life of the bonds.
Premiums ( 2,338,297)
Deferred loss 672,495
Receivables from property taxes and fines and fees are not available soon enough
to pay for the current period's expenditures and are, therefore, deferred in the fund
financial statements. 1,837,328
Included in the items related to debt is the recognition of the City's net pension
liability, total OPEB liability, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources.

RECONCILIATION OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
Net Changes in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ 3,083,550
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
governmental activities statement of activities, that cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay 10,734,925
Depreciation expense ( 6,443,851)
The net effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales,
trade -ins, or donations) is to decrease net position. ( 49,102)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Property taxes 55,951
Court fines 223
The issuance of long -term debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long -term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first
issued, whereas the amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of
Activities.
Issuance of debt
( 9,828,076)
Repayment of principal of long -term debt
10,175,244
Amortization of:
Premium on bond issuance
( 640,115)
Loss on refunding
( 88,146)
Current year changes in certain long -term liabilities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.
Compensated Absences
925
Net pension liability
( 975,732)
Total OPEB liability
( 177,698)
Interest payable on long -term debt is accrued in the government -wide financial

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
I. 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 and appoints all board members. For financial
reporting purposes, the SEDC is reported as a blended component unit due to the City having operational
responsibility for the component unit, and that any debt issued by SEDC would be expected to be paid using
City resources. Thus, SEDC is presented as a special revenue fund within the City's financial statements.
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.
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.
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.
33
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges of customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants
and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been
met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers
revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
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.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund which accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and
interest on long -term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
The Capital Proiects Fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition and
construction of major capital facilities and is principally financed by the sale of bonds or certificates of
obligation and grants.
Economic Development Corporation collects sales taxes to support business development and
expansion within the City.
The City reports the following major enterprise 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.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Fund accounts for the City's group medical insurance program.
34
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this are charges between the City's general government function and various
other functions of the City. Eliminations of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applications for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions.
General revenues include all taxes and investment earnings.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with
a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the water and sewer
enterprise fund and the EMS enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating
expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Cash and Cash 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.
Investments for the City are reported at fair value, except for the position in investment pools, which are
reported at net asset value per share (which approximates fair value) even though it is calculated using the
amortized cost method.
The City categorized its fair value measurements within the fair value 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.
F. Receivables and Pavables
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.
35
Property taxes for the City are levied each October 1 on the taxable value as of the preceding January 1, the
date a lien attaches, for all taxable real and personal property located in the City. Taxes are due by January
31 following the October 1 assessment date and become delinquent on February 1, at which time they begin
accruing penalty and interest. The enforceable legal claim date for property taxes is the assessment date;
therefore, the City did not record a receivable for accrual of future taxes at year end. Accordingly, no current
taxes receivable are reported. Delinquent taxes have been reported in the financial statements net of the
allowance for uncollectible taxes. Tax revenues are recognized as they become available. Accordingly, an
amount equal to taxes not yet available has been reported as unavailable revenue (a deferred inflow of
resources) at the government fund level.
G. Inventories 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, rather than fair value.
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:
Use Lives
Assets (Years)
Buildings and improvements 10 - 50
Machinery, equipment, and vehicles 2-20
Infrastructure 15 - 30
36
J. Deferred Inflows/ Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and /or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so
will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense /expenditure) until then. The City has the
following items that qualify for reporting in this category.
• Deferred charges on refunding - A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the
carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over
the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
• Pension and OPEB contributions after measurement date - These contributions are deferred and
recognized in the following fiscal year.
• Difference in expected and actual pension and OPEB experience - This difference is deferred and
recognized over the estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the
measurement date.
• Changes in actuarial assumptions and other inputs -This difference is deferred and recognized over the
estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the measurement date.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and /or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following types of
items that qualify for reporting in this category.
• Unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. These amounts are
deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
• Difference in projected and actual earnings on pension assets - This difference is deferred and amortized
over a closed five -year period.
• Difference in expected and actual pension and OPEB experience - This difference is deferred and
recognized over the estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the
measurement date.
• Changes in actuarial assumptions and other inputs - This difference is deferred and recognized overthe
estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the measurement date.
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.
37
M. Other Post - Employment Benefits (OPEB)
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund. For purposes of measuring the total Texas Municipal Retirement
System Supplemental Death Benefit Fund (TMRS SDBF) OPEB liability, related deferred outflows and
inflows of resources, and expense, City specific information about its total TMRS SDBF liability and
additions to /deductions from the City's total TMRS SDBF liability have been determined on the same basis
as they are reported by TMRS. The TMRS SDBF expense and deferred (inflows) /outflows of resources
related to TMRS SDBF, primarily result from changes in the components of the total TMRS SDBF liability.
Most changes in the total TMRS SDBF liability will be included in TMRS SDBF expense in the period of the
change. For example, changes in the total TMRS SDBF liability resulting from current - period service cost,
interest on the TOL, and changes of benefit terms are required to be included in TMRS SDBF expense
immediately. Changes in the total TMRS SDBF liability that have not been included in TMRS SDBF expense
are required to be reported as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources related to
TMRS SDBF.
Retiree Health Insurance. For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, OPEB related deferred
outflows and inflows of resources, and OPEB expense, benefit payments and refunds are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Contributions are not required but are measured as
payments by the City for benefits due and payable that are not reimbursed by plan assets. Information
regarding the City's total OPEB liability is obtained from a report prepared by a consulting actuary, Gabriel
Roeder Smith & Company.
N. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long -term debt and other long -term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums,
discounts, and losses on defeasance are amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line 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 Balance
Fund balances in governmental funds are classified as follows:
Nonspendable - Represents amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form
(such as inventory or prepaid items) or legally required to remain intact.
Restricted - Represents amounts that are constrained by external parties, constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
Committed - Represents amounts that can only be used for a specific purpose because of a formal action
by the government's highest level of decision making authority: an ordinance adopted by City Council
prior to the end of the fiscal year. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in
place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the
limitation.
Assigned - Represents amounts which the City intends to use for a specific purpose but do not meet the
criteria of restricted or committed. The City Council may make assignments through formal
documentation in the minutes. The City Council authorized (by way of policy) the City Manager to also
make assignments. The City Manager's assignments do not require formal action; however, the City
Manager has not assigned any funds at this time.
Unassigned - Represents the residual balance that may be spent on any other purpose of the City. Only
the General Fund reports positive unassigned fund balances; if another fund were to have unassigned
fund balance, it would be in the event of a deficit.
38
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 position is 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, 2019 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.
II. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACTIVITIES

The City's U.S. Agency Securities recurring fair value measurements as of year -end are quoted market prices
(level 1 inputs) for $3,148,081 and a matrix pricing model (level 2 inputs) for $74,936.
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.
39
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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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.
B. Property Taxes
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, 2018, upon which the fiscal 2019 levy was based, was $3,587,260,553 (i.e., market
value less exemptions). The estimated market value was $4,707,771,574, making the taxable value 76.2%
of the estimated market value.
The City is permitted by the Constitution of the State of Texas to levy taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of
taxable assessed valuation for all governmental purposes. Pursuant to a decision of the Attorney General of
the State of Texas, up to $1.50 per $100 of assessed valuation may be used for the payment of long -term
debt. The combined tax rate to finance general governmental services, including the payment of principal
and interest on long -term debt for the year ended September 30, 2019, was $0.5146 per $100 of assessed
value, which means that the City has a tax margin of $1.9854 for each $100 value and could increase its
annual tax levy by approximately $71,221,471 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.
40
C. Receivables
Receivables as September 30, 2019 for the government's individual major funds and nonmajor funds in the

H. Lonci-Term Debt
Changes in long -term debt for the year ending September 30, 2019 are as follows:
Total business -type $ 16,698,302 $ 6,783,564 $( 4,839,698) $ 18,642,168 $ 2,029,181
Bonds Payable
The City issues a variety of long -term debt instruments in order to acquire and /or construct major capital
facilities and equipment for governmental activities. These instruments include general obligation bonds,
certificates of obligation, and tax notes. These debt obligations are secured by primarily future property tax
revenues. In some cases, these bonds are also secured by a pledge of net revenues from the utility system,
emergency medical services and economic development sales taxes. However, the amount of the formal
pledge is generally limited to $1,000. Proprietary operating revenues for the year exceeded $33.6 million and
sales tax revenue was $12.5 million.
Additionally, certain obligations that were marketed as private placements have been separately identified;
however, the terms of these obligations are not significantly different than other obligations and do not have
substantive acceleration clauses. Should the City default on these bonds, any registered owner of the
obligations is entitled to seek a writ of mandamus from a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the City to
make payment.
In November 2018, the City issued $8,570,000 in General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, Series 2018. The
proceeds were to be used within 90 days of issuance to pay off the outstanding balances of the General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2009, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, and Combination
Tax and Limited Pledge Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2007, in the amounts of $4,705,000,
$630,000, and $2,935,000, respectively. The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old
debt by $24,877. This amount will be amortized over the life of the refunding debt. The refunding transaction
will result in an estimated present value savings of $758,899. It also provided net proceeds of $605,000 that
will be used to finance additional capital projects.
In August 2019, the City issued $7,495,000 in Combination Tax and Limited Pledge Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2019, pursuant to the constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly,
Subchapter C of Chapter 271 of the Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and in ordinance adopted by
the City Council. The certificates constitute direct and general obligations of the City payable from ad valorem
taxes levied against all payable property within the City, as well as pledged revenue of up to $1,000 of the
surplus revenues from proprietary funds. The bonds and certificates were issued for the purpose of financing
numerous capital projects throughout the City, primarily for the purpose of expanding and improving
infrastructure.

Bonds Payable
The City issues a variety of long -term debt instruments in order to acquire and /or construct major capital
facilities and equipment for governmental activities. These instruments include general obligation bonds,
certificates of obligation, and tax notes. These debt obligations are secured by primarily future property tax
revenues. In some cases, these bonds are also secured by a pledge of net revenues from the utility system,
emergency medical services and economic development sales taxes. However, the amount of the formal
pledge is generally limited to $1,000. Proprietary operating revenues for the year exceeded $33.6 million and
sales tax revenue was $12.5 million.
Additionally, certain obligations that were marketed as private placements have been separately identified;
however, the terms of these obligations are not significantly different than other obligations and do not have
substantive acceleration clauses. Should the City default on these bonds, any registered owner of the
obligations is entitled to seek a writ of mandamus from a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the City to
make payment.
In November 2018, the City issued $8,570,000 in General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, Series 2018. The
proceeds were to be used within 90 days of issuance to pay off the outstanding balances of the General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2009, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, and Combination
Tax and Limited Pledge Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2007, in the amounts of $4,705,000,
$630,000, and $2,935,000, respectively. The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old
debt by $24,877. This amount will be amortized over the life of the refunding debt. The refunding transaction
will result in an estimated present value savings of $758,899. It also provided net proceeds of $605,000 that
will be used to finance additional capital projects.
In August 2019, the City issued $7,495,000 in Combination Tax and Limited Pledge Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2019, pursuant to the constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly,
Subchapter C of Chapter 271 of the Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and in ordinance adopted by
the City Council. The certificates constitute direct and general obligations of the City payable from ad valorem
taxes levied against all payable property within the City, as well as pledged revenue of up to $1,000 of the
surplus revenues from proprietary funds. The bonds and certificates were issued for the purpose of financing
numerous capital projects throughout the City, primarily for the purpose of expanding and improving
infrastructure.

A. Retirement Plan
Plan Description. The City of Schertz participates as one of 883 plans in the nontraditional, joint
contributory, hybrid defined benefit pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS). TMRS is an agency created by the state of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS
Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple - employer retirement
system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and
management of the system with a six- member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice
and consent of the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's
defined benefit pension plan is a tax - qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Service Code. TMRS
issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that can be obtained at
www.tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the City are required to participate in TMRS.
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.
The City grants monetary credits for service rendered of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would
have been contributed by the employee, with interest. Monetary credits, also known as the matching ratio,
are 200% of the employee's accumulated contributions and are only payable in the form of an annuity.
Beginning in 2008, the City granted an annually repeating (automatic) basis monetary credit referred to as
an updated service credit (USC) which is a theoretical amount that takes into account salary increases or
plan improvements. If at any time during their career an employee earns a USC, this amount remains in
their account earning interest at 5% until retirement. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of
the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer match plus employer- financed
monetary credits, such as USC, with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Additionally, initiated in
2008, the City provided on an annually repeating (automatic) basis cost of living adjustments (COLA) for
retirees equal to a percentage of the change in the consumer price index (CPI).
At the December 31, 2018 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the
benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 111
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 191
Active employees 328
Tota 1 630
Contributions. 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 16.04% and 16.01% in calendar years 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2019 were $3,129,413 and were equal
to the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability. The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2018, and
the Total Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date. The net pension liability is typically liquidated through the General Fund and
Enterprise Funds.
48
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2018 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Overall payroll growth 3.00% per year
Investment rate of return 6.75% 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, 2018 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 target allocation and
best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following

Discount Rate
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.

B. Other Post - Employment Benefits
The City participates in two defined - benefit other post - employment benefit (OPEB) plans: the Texas
Municipal Retirement System Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (TMRS SDBF, and its own single - employer
retiree health plan. Both are described in detail below.
The total OPEB liabilities of both plans are typically liquidated through the General Fund and Enterprise
Funds.
TMRS Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
Plan Description. The City voluntarily participates in a single - employer other postemployment benefit
(OPEB) plan administered by TMRS. The Plan is a group -term life insurance plan known as the Supplemental
Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The Plan is established and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act
identically to the City's pension plan. SDBF includes coverage for both active and retired members, and
assets are commingled for the payment of such benefits. Therefore, the Plan does not qualify as an OPEB
Trust in accordance with paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75.
Benefits Provided. The SDBF provides group -term life insurance to City employees who are active
members in TMRS, including or not including retirees. The City Council opted into this program via an
ordinance, and 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.
Membership in the plan at December 31, 2018, the valuation and measurement date, consisted of:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 88
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 59
Active employees 328
Total 475
Contributions. The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an
annual actuarial valuation, which was 0.12% for 2019 and 0.13% for 2018, of which 0.02% represented
the retiree -only portion for each year, as a percentage of annual covered payroll. The rate is equal to the
cost of providing one -year term life insurance. The funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that
adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is
not to prefund retiree term life insurance during employees' entire careers. The City's contributions to the
SDBF for the years ended September 30, 2019 were $3,893 representing contributions for both active and
retiree coverage, which equaled the required contributions each year.
Total OPEB Liability. The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2018 actuarial valuation was
determined using the following actuarial assumptions and inputs:
Inflation rate
Actuarial cost method
Discount rate
Projected salary increases
51
2.5% per annum
Entry age normal
3.71%
3.5% to 10.5% including inflation
Administrative expenses for the SDBF are paid through the TMRS Pension Trust Fund and are wholly
accounted for under the provisions of GASB Statement No. 68.
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 Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment, 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 Combined
Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment are used with male 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 became disabled. The
rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements
subject to the 3% floor.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2018 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2014.
The SDBF program is treated as an unfunded OPEB plan because the SDBF trust covers both actives and
retirees and the assets are not segregated for these groups. As such, a single discount rate of 3.71% was
used to measure the total OPEB liability. Because the plan is essentially a "pay -as- you -go" plan, the single
discount rate is equal to the prevailing municipal bond rate. The source of the municipal bond rate was fixed -
income municipal bonds with 20 years to maturity that include only federally tax - exempt municipal bonds as
reported in Fidelity Index's "20 -year Municipal GO AA Index" as of December 31, 2018.
Discount Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The following schedule shows the impact of the total OPEB liability
if the discount rate used was 1% less than and 1% greater than the discount rate that was used (3.71%)
in measuring the total OPEB liability.

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 December 31, 2017, the valuation date,
consisted of:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 6
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits -
Active employees 313
Total 319
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 102% of the monthly
premiums which range based on the type of plan from $508 for retiree only to $1,796 for a retiree and their
family.

D. Commitments and Contingencies
Tax Increment Financing (the "Zone')
The City is a principal in the City of Schertz Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2, pursuant to Chapter 311
of the Texas Tax Code. Under the terms of the Zone agreement, the City of Schertz, Bexar County, and San
Antonio River Authority are funding infrastructure improvements through tax increment financing to the
Sedona Development Project.
At the time the Zone was created, the property tax base was "frozen" and increment taxes resulting from the
increases to property tax base are being used to finance Zone improvements. The total projected cost is a
combined figure of $45,000,000. Project costs of the developer will be funded up to 100% of the tax
increment generated by the City of Schertz, Bexar County, and San Antonio River Authority (SARA). The
City of Schertz (combined with SARA) have committed up to $32,877,000 of the total $45,000,000. The
Zone has a statutory termination date of December 31, 2027. The TIRZ has collected $2,218,372 from
taxing entities (net of administrative reimbursements) and remitted $2,077,316 to the developer as of
September 30, 2019.
380 Agreements
The Chapter 380 Incentive program, authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code,
enables the City of Schertz to provide grants or reimbursements from the City's general fund. To become
eligible for Chapter 380 Incentives, projects must: create at least of $100 million in new real and personal
property; or generate at least $35 million in gross sales that is subject to the collection of local sales and use
tax. Businesses that have a 380 Incentive agreement with the City are eligible to receive a reimbursement of
taxes paid for the year if they have met the requirements outlined in the agreement by a certain date each
year. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the City reimbursed $861,735 in property taxes paid.
Economic Development Incentive Agreements
The City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation (the SEDC) negotiates economic development
incentive agreement on behalf of the SEDC and the City of Schertz (the City) on an individual basis. As of
September 30, 2019, the City had nine active incentive agreements.
On May 2, 2017, the City and the Corporation approved the Schertz Incentive Policy which outlines the
City's primary tools to attract commercial investment and promote economic development. Projects are
selected on a case -by -case basis in accordance current policy and state laws at the discretion of the
governing body. All incentive agreements are formalized through a performance agreement with specified
terms and recapture criteria.
The SEDC Incentive program, authorized by Chapters 501, 502 and 505 of the Texas Local Government
Code, enables the Corporation to fund allowable projects from the collection of one -half of one percent of
sales tax proceeds collected in the City of Schertz. In accordance with state law, the SEDC Incentive Policy
establishes grants and loans for businesses that create Primary Jobs for the following categories: Existing
Businesses (3 years of operation within City), Small Businesses (fewer than 50 full -time jobs or annual sales
less than $10 million), Large Impact Businesses (Up to $100 million in taxable property), and Extra Large
Businesses (over $100 million in taxable property).
The City and Corporation's outstanding incentive agreement grants are as follows:

Service Concession Arrangements
The City entered into an agreement with Young Men's Christian Association of Greater San Antonio
( "YMCA "), under which YMCA will operate and collect user fees from the Natatorium and Outdoor Pools for
the next 20 years. YMCA will pay the city $100,000 annually over the course of the arrangement to cover
costs of debt service related to the facility; the present value of these installment payments is estimated to
be $820,141. The City will approve the rates and services that YMCA will provide, however, YMCA will retain
all revenues earned from the operation of the Natatorium. The YMCA will remit all revenues received from
operating the Outdoor Pools to the City with the exception of revenues earned from YMCA specific programs.
As of September 30, 2019, the Natatorium is still under construction and is reported by the City as
Construction in Progress. The City reports the Outdoor Pools and related equipment as capital assets
recorded at historical cost. The City reports a receivable in the amount of $820,141 on the government -wide
statements at year -end pursuant to the service concession arrangement, and a liability of $498,361 for the
present value of maintenance costs estimated over the life of the Service Concession arrangement. The
balance of these two amounts is recorded as a deferred inflow of resources.
Litigation
The City is the subject of various claims and litigation that have arisen in the course of its operations.
Management is of the opinion that the City's liability in these cases, if decided adversely to the City, will not
have a material effect on the City's financial position.
Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority
The Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) provides sewage treatment for the area in and around the City.
In Fiscal year 2014, the City entered into an agreement with CCMA to construct a sewage treatment facility
in the southern portion of the City to primarily serve citizens of the City but also neighboring Cities and
future development. Because the City would be the primary customer at this time, the agreement stipulates
that the City will pay all future debt service on the bonds issued by CCMA to finance the project. The City is
the sole member at this time, so it is responsible for 100% of the project costs. Should other members join,
the City's share of the costs would be reduced.
Future debt service on the CCMA bonds are as follows:

The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The City contracts with the Texas Municipal League
Intergovernmental Risk Pool, a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and
insurance program providing insurance coverage in the following areas: general liability, automobile liability
and physical damage, law enforcement liability, worker's compensation, real and personal property, mobile
equipment, and errors and omissions liability. TML is a multi - employer group that provides for a
combination of risk sharing among pool participants and stop loss coverage. Contributions are set annually
by the provider. Liability by the City is generally limited to the contributed amounts. There were no
significant increases or decreases in coverage from the prior year. For the past three fiscal years, no claims
or settlements have exceeded deductible amounts.
E. New Accountina Standards
Significant new accounting standards issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) not
yet implemented by the City include the following:
Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities - This Statement improves guidance regarding the identification of
fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be
reported. The focus is generally on whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity
and on the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. This Statement will become effective for
the City in fiscal year 2020.
58
Statement No. 87, Leases - This Statement will improve the accounting and financial reporting for leases by
governments by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities previously classifies as operating
leases. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the principle that leases are financing the
right to use an underlying asset. Under the Statement a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and
an intangible right -to -use asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred
inflow of resource, enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about leasing activities. This
Statement will become effective for the City in fiscal year 2021.
F. Prior Period Adiustment
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, management determined that the City's residual interest
in its two joint ventures was sufficiently measurable to recognize in the financial statements. As such, the
amount of the City's 50% residual interests in the Schertz- Seguin Local Government Corporation and the
Cibolo Valley Local Government Corporation, as of October 1, 2018, were recognized in the Water and Sewer
System Fund, with a corresponding increase to beginning net position of $11,416,770.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BUDGETARY SCHEDULES
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
Budgetary Information - The budget is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The City maintains strict budgetary controls. The objective of these
controls is to ensure compliance with legal provision embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by
the City Council and as such is a good management control device. Annual budgets are adopted for the
general fund; debt service fund; hotel motel tax, park fund, tree mitigation; police forfeiture fund, library
advisory board fund, and the historical committee fund. Project - length financial plans are adopted for capital
projects funds. Of these budgets, only the General Fund, Debt Service and Economic Development
Corporation are legally adopted.
Budgetary preparation and control are exercised at the department level. Actual expenditures may not legally
exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations lapse at year -end.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, actual expenditures exceeded budgeted expenditures in the
Debt Service Fund by $5,591,271. This overage was caused by the payment to refunded bond escrow agent
during the year that was not reflected in the adopted budget; however, the refunding was approved by City
Council. Additionally, proceeds from the issuance of refunding bonds were used to used to fund this overage
and was reported as other financing sources. The Justice Forfeitures Fund had actual expenditures exceeded
budgeted amounts for $79,450, existing fund balance was used to fund this overage.
Encumbrance accounting, in which appropriations are recorded as budgetary expenditures, is not utilized by
the City.

NOTES: The overlapping debt was received from the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Details regarding
the City's outstanding debt can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements.
Overlapping debt is the proportionate share of the debts of local jurisdictions located wholly or in part within
the limits of the City of Shertz. This schedule is intended to demonstrate the total debt that the City of
Shertz property tax payers will be expected to repay. The amount of debt applicable to the City of Schertz is
computed by (a) determining what portion of total assessed value of the overlapping jurisdiction lies within
the limits of the City and (b) applying this percentage to the total governmental activities debt of the
overlapping jurisdiction.
125
Assessed Value, 2018 Tax Roll
Debt Limit - Texas statues do not
provide a legal debt limit for cities;
however, through accepted practice a
practical "economic" debt limit is
considered to be 10% of the assessed
value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor
and Members of City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited, in accordance with the 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 the City of
Schertz, Texas, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City of Schertz, Texas' basic financial statements, and have issued
our report thereon dated March 18, 2020.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Schertz,
Texas' 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 the City of Schertz, Texas' internal
control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Schertz, Texas' 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 the City of Schertz, Texas' 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.
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.
