DON E. TAYLOR
CITY MANAGER
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and the Citizens of City of Schertz:
State law requires that local governments publish a complete set of financial
statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and audited in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of
America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that
requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the
City of Schertz for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
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 Thompson,
Williams, Biediger, Kastor and Young, 1,.C., a firm of licensed certified public
accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
' assurance that the financial statements of the City of Schertz for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2006, 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
Schertz
T E X A S
Corridor to the Future
' IX
concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for
rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of Schertz's financial statements
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, 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.
U.S. 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 (MD8sA). 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 28 square miles and serves a population of 31,452. 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 5 other members. The
city council is responsible, for establishing public policy on City matters by the
passage of appropriate ordinances and resolutions. The city manager is
responsible for overseeing the day -to -day operations of the government,
implementing policy established by the city council, and for appointing the
heads of the various departments. The council is elected on a non - partisan
basis. Council members serve two -year staggered terms, with two council
members elected every two years. The mayor is elected to serve a two -year
term. The mayor and all five council members are elected at large.
The City of Schertz provides a full range of services including police and fire
protection, the construction and maintenance of streets, recreational activities,
cultural events, water and sewer services, and EMS services.

The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Schertz's financial
planning and control. All departments of the City of Schertz are required to
submit requests for appropriation to the city manager in June of each year.
The city manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a
proposed budget. The city manager then presents this proposed budget to the
council for review prior to August 1. The council then holds public hearings on
the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than September
30, the close of the City of Schertz's fiscal year. The appropriated budget is
prepared by department, e.g., police. Department heads may make transfers of
appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments, however, require a special approval of the city council. Budget to
actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual
governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted.
For the general fund, this comparison is presented on pages 56 through 58 as
part of the required supplementary information.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best
understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific
environment within which the City of Schertz operates.
Local economy. The City of Schertz currently enjoys a favorable economic
environment and local indicators point to continued stability. The region has a
growing manufacturing and industrial base that adds to the relative stability of
the unemployment rate. Major industries with headquarters or divisions
located within the government's boundaries or in close proximity include
Republic Beverage, Wal -Mart, Federal Express, Valero, HEB, and Schertz -
Cibolo- Universal City Independent School District. The region has a labor force
of approximately 800,000 which is anticipated to grow at a rate of 2.3 percent
each year for the next several years. Meanwhile, there continues to be a trend
toward steady residential growth.
Long -term financial planning. The city council plans to issue certificates of
obligation in the amount of $9,915,000. These funds are going to be used for
the following:
a. $6,600,000 for the construction, acquiring, purchasing, renovating,
equipping, enlarging and improving the City's utility system.
b. $1,300,000 for constructing street, curb and sidewalk improvements
(including utility repair, replacement and relocation) and drainage.
C. $665,000 for the purchase of vehicles and equipment for the City's
public works department.
d. $500,000 for the purchase of EMS vehicles and equipment.
e. $850,000 for the purchase of City -wide communication equipment.
XI
Cash management policies and practices.
Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested through state local
investment pools. These funds are essentially liquid. The average yield on
investments is about 4.633 percent. Active involvement in other investment
vehicles was limited due to extremely competitive pool rates.
Risk Management. During 2006, the City continued a risk management
program for worker's compensation. Various control techniques, including
employee accident prevention training, have been implemented during the year
to minimize accident - related losses. Third -party coverage is currently
maintained for individual worker's compensation claims and all other potential
losses. Additional information on the City of Schertz's risk management activity
can be found in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension benefits. The City of Schertz sponsors an agent multiple- employer
defined benefit pension plan for its employees. Each year, an independent
actuary engaged by the pension plan calculates the amount of the annual
contribution the City of Schertz must make to the pension plan to ensure that
the plan will be able to fully meet its obligations to retired employees on a
timely basis. As a matter of policy, the City of Schertz fully funds each year's
annual required contribution to the pension plan as determined by the
actuary. The remaining unfunded amount is being systematically funded as
part of the annual required contribution calculated by the actuary.
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, Texas for its comprehensive annual financial
report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. This was the 18th
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 in the United
States of America and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe
our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the
Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to
the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the
efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the finance department. We
would like to express our appreciation to all members of the department who
assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report.
xii

In addition, without the assistance of each and every department head on staff,
we would have none of the successes we've enjoyed. Credit also must be given
to the mayor and the city council for their unfailing support for the city
manager and staff.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and
'
Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information
of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of and for the year
'
ended September 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, as
listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of
Schertz, Texas', management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
'
statements based on our audit.
' We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
' financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
' In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of September 30, 2006, and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
' In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
February 6, 2007 on our consideration of City of Schertz, Texas' internal control over financial
' reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts
and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
' testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

The management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages
I7 through 21 and 56 through 58, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on
it.
IOur audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements
that collectively comprise the City of Schertz, Texas, basic financial statements. The introductory
I section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, other schedules, and
statistical tables 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 other schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical tables
have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements, and accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

IMANAGEMENT'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, 2006. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which
can be found in the introductory section of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City of Schertz exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year
by $73,821,886 (net assets). Of this amount, $18,638,756 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to
meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net assets increased by $13,573,764. Approximately 62% increase 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 $24,132,213, an increase of $12,871,003 in comparison with the prior year. The
key factor in this increase was issuance of general obligation bonds for construction projects.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was $7,202,709,
or 65.4% of total general fund expenditures, including capital outlay.
The City's total debt increased by $13,903,855 during the current fiscal year. The key factor in
' this increase was the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $15,000,000.
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 assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Schertz is improving
or deteriorating.
' The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
' expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
7
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Schertz that
are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Schertz
include general government, public safety, streets and parks, health, and culture and recreation.
The business -type activities of the City of Schertz include a water and sewer department and an
emergency medical services department.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Schertz itself (known as the
primary government). but also legally separate component units for which the City is financially
accountable. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the
primary government.
The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 24 through 36 of this report.
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 may be 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 eight individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, the debt service fund,
and the capital projects fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other
five 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.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages .24 through 31 of this
report.
Proprietary funds. The City of Schertz maintains two different types of proprietary funds.
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.
T
' 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.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 32 through 36 of this
report.
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. The
notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 38 through 54 of this report.
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. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 56
' through 58 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non -major governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and
individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 62 through 69 of this report.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Schertz, assets exceeded liabilities by $73,821,886 at the close
of the most recent fiscal year.
I The largest portion of the City's total net assets (52 %) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that
is still outstanding. The City of Schertz uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for 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.

external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets,
($18,638,756) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Schertz is able to report positive balances in all
three categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business -type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
There was an increase of $11,075,053 in restricted net assets reported in connection with the
City's governmental activities. This increase is due to unspent bond proceeds from the current
year issue of general obligation bonds.
The government's net assets increased by $13,573,764 during the current fiscal year. About 62%
of this increase represents capital contributions from developers.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Schertz uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance
with finance - related legal requirements.

Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on
near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a
useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $24,132,213. Of this total amount, $8,074,014 constitutes unreserved fund..
balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund
balances is reserved or designated 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
restricted purposes.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Schertz. At the end of the current fiscal
year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $7,202,709, while total fund balance
reached $7,435,264, an increase of $2,560,046 from the prior year. The majority of this increase
was from property tax and City sales tax collections. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity,
it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund
expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 65.4% of total general fund expenditures,
including capital, while total fund balance represents 67.5% of that same amount.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $347,739, all of which is reserved for the
payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the debt
service fund was minimal.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $15,1.34,814, an increase of $9,998,980.
This increase was from the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $15,000,000 for
various construction projects.
Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government -wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net assets of the water and sewer fund at the end of the year amounted to $9,353,080
and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to $526,046.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
r Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget and the final budget and
actual expenditures can be briefly summarized as follows:
• A donation was received for construction of a new library. The donation has not been
spent yet.
• The Fire Department's shortfall resulted from the increasing cost of fuel and utility costs.
• The shortfall in the legal department resulted from legal work on thirty -nine (39) City
Charter amendments, advertising and a bond proposition.
• The shortfall in the swimming pool department resulted from the increasing cost of
chemicals and utility costs.
• The shortfall in the fleet services department resulted from an increase in auto parts.
During the year, revenues exceeded budgetary estimates and funded the overexpenditures in
various departments.

tThe City of Schertz's general fund maintains a "AA -" rating and its water and sewer fund maintains
an "AA -" rating from Standard and Poor's.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
During the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance in the general fund increased to
$7,202,709. The City of Schertz has not appropriated any of this amount for spending in the 2008

raise taxes or charges during the 2008 fiscal year. Water and sewer rates are expected to remain
'stable. A portion of the debt service fund balance will be used to offset the debt service ad
valorem rate.

' Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.
However, in the statement of activities the cost of those
assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense.
Capital Outlay 6,127,735
Depreciation Expense (1,555,545)
Revenues and contributed assets in the statement of

are not reported as revenues in the funds. 5,203,082
Certain long -term liabilities (compensated absences and
' salary reserves) are accrued at the government -wide
level but not at the fund level. This is the current year
change in those liabilities, reported as expense in the
statement of activities. (68,449)
Bonds and capital leases provide current financial resources to
governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long -term liabilities
in the statement of net assets. Repayment of bond principal is an
expenditure in the governmental funds, but reduces long -term
liabilities in the statement of net assets. Also, governmental
funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums and discounts
when the debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred
and amortized in the statement of activities.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Schertz is a municipal corporation governed by an elected mayor and five - member
council. The accompanying financial statements present the City and its discretely presented
component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The
discretely presented component units are reported in a separate column in the government -
wide financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City.
Discretely presented component units - The component units' column in the government -
wide financial statements includes the financial data of the component units of the City of
Schertz, Texas. The component units are presented as governmental fund types. Following is
a summary of the component units:
1. Schertz Economic Development Corporation - The corporation was organized for the
purpose of promoting economic development in order to eliminate unemployment and
underemployment and to promote and encourage employment and public welfare of, for,
and on behalf of the City. The board of directors consists of seven (7) members appointed
by the city council. The City is financially accountable for the corporation because the city
council approves the corporation's budget.
2. Library - The library provides services to the citizens of the City of Schertz as well as
surrounding communities. The function of the library board is to work cooperatively with
City management to provide funding and oversight for special projects of the library. All
projects must be approved by the city council. The library's governing board is appointed
by the city council.
Schertz Development Foundation - The foundation

foundation because the city council
Complete financial statements for each of the individual component units may be obtained at
City Hall located at 1400 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas 78154. 1
B. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the activities of the primary government and its
component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from
these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to
a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is
reported separately from legally separate component units for which the primary government is '
financially accountable.

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

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
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 projects fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition and construction of major capital facilities and is principally financed by
the sale of bonds or certificates of obligation and grants.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
The water and sewer fund accounts for the water and sewer services provided to the
citizens through user charges.
The EMS fund accounts for the ambulance services provided to the citizens of the
City and other participating governments through user charges.
Private - sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government -wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Governments also have the option of
following subsequent private - sector for their business -type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private- sector
guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this are charges between the City's general government
function and various other functions of the City. Eliminations of these charges would distort
the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applications for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions. General revenues include all taxes and investment earnings.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the water and sewer enterprise fund and the EMS enterprise
fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds
include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

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

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
H. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City's enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set
aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they
are maintained in separate bank accounts and their use is limited by applicable bond
covenants.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings and improvements, machinery, equipment,
vehicles, and infrastructure assets (i.e., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are
reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -
wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. When
capital assets are purchased, they are capitalized and depreciated in the government -wide
financial statements and the proprietary fund statements. Capital assets are recorded as
expenditures of the current period in the governmental fund financial statements.
Capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated cost
where no records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value
at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets 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:
ASSETS YEARS
Buildings and Improvements 10- 50
Machinery, Equipment, and Vehicles 2-20
Infrastructure 15 - 30

J. Compensated Absences and Salary Reserve
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. In addition, it is the policy of the City to retain as a liability the first forty (40) hours of
service for each employee. The liability is to be paid upon termination at the rate of pay in
existence at' that time. All vacation, compensatory time, and salary reserve 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.
K. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long -term debt and other long -term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement
of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, losses on defeasance,. as well as issuance costs,
are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount and losses on
defeasance. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the
term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
L. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for
use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management
plans that are subject to change.
M. 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.

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

does not further limit its investment choices. As of September 30, 2006, the City's investments in
the pooled investment funds were rated AAA by Standard & Poor's.
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.

During the year, the City issued $15,000,000 of general obligation bonds, with the payment of the
related principal and interest to be made from an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable
property within the City. The bonds were issued to provide funds for various construction projects.
In the government -wide financial statements, bond issuance costs are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges.
Bonded debt of the City consists of various series of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds,
certificates of obligation, tax notes, and a public facility loan. General obligation bonds,
certificates of obligation, and tax notes are direct obligations of the City for which its full faith and
credit are pledged, and are payable from taxes levied on all taxable property located within the
City. Revenue bonds are generally payable from pledged revenues generated by the water and
sewer fund. The debenture agreement for water and sewer bonds require that funds be available
for 1/1 2t' of the principal and 1 /6th of the interest requirements of the next fiscal year.
The City is required to accumulate a reserve fund in an amount equal to the average principal and
interest on the revenue bonds. The City has purchased a surety bond through MBIA Insurance
Corporation to fund the required reserve amount.
There are no amounts outstanding at the end of the current fiscal year related to bonds that were
considered defeased.
Compensated Absences and Salary Reserves
Changes in compensated absences and salary reserves for the year ended September 30, 2006,

generally liquidated by the general fund.
NOTE 8: RETIREMENT PLAN
Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full -time employees through a nontraditional, joint
contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state -wide Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS), one of 811 currently administered by TMRS, an agent multiple- employer public employee
1 retirement system. TMRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information for TMRS. That report may be obtained by
writing to Texas Municipal Retirement System, Post Office Box 149153, Austin, Texas 78714.
Benefits
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the
City- financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted
monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount at least equal
to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to
establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percent (100 %,
150 %, or 200 %) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as
often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is
a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the
monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and
employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and
City matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been
the average of his salary in the last three (3) years that are one year before the effective date. At
retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with
interest and the employer- financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an
annuity.
Members can retire at age 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service,
regardless of age. A member is vested after 5 years. The plan provisions are adopted by the
governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 8: RETIREMENT PLAN (CONTINUED)
Contributions
The contribution rate for the employees is 5 %, and the City matching percent is currently 2 to 1,
both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the City
contribution rate is annually determined by the actuary. This rate consists of the normal cost
contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a
level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently
accruing monetary credits due to the City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as
of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The
normal cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined level percent of payroll necessary to
satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his /her retirement becomes
effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial
liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25 -year open amortization period. The unit credit
actuarial cost method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Contributions are made
monthly by both the employees and the City. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in
advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one -year delay between the actuarial valuation that
serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect (i.e.,
December 31, 2005 valuation is effective for rates beginning .January 2007).
The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7% investment rate of return, (b) no projected salary
increases, (c) 3.5% inflation and (d) no cost of living adjustments. The asset valuation method was
determined based on amortized cost.

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.
The agreement for formation of the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool provides
that the pool will be self sustaining through member premiums and will be adjusted annually
through an experience modifier.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss including public official
bond, employee dishonesty blanket bond, and underground tank pollution liability.
Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded coverage for each of the past three (3)
years.
The pooling agreement requires the pool to be self- sustaining. It is not possible to estimate the
amount of any losses for which the City might be liable. The Texas Municipal League
Intergovernmental Risk Pool has published its own financial report for the year ended
September 30, 2006, which can be obtained from the Texas Municipal League.
NOTE 10: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already
collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures
that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects
1 such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not
presently determinable, in the opinion of management the resolution of these matters will not have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.

NOTE 1: BUDGETARY INFORMATION
The budget for the general fund is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles. Annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
The original budget for the general fund is adopted by the city council by September 30.
Budgetary preparation and control is exercised at the department level. The city manager is
authorized to transfer budget amounts between line items within a department; however, any
transfer or supplemental appropriation that amends the total expenditures of a department or total
budget requires city council approval. Both the original and final amended budget are included.
NOTE 2: EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER APPROPRIATIONS
For the year ended September 30, 2006, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the city
manager, legal, municipal court, city secretary, records management, fleet services, and fire
departments and capital outlay of the general fund by $7,475, $56,946, $17,839, $7,063, $5,630,
$13,947, $62,689 and $218,543, respectively. These overexpenditures were funded by greater
than anticipated revenues in the general fund.

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
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of and
for the year ended September 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the City of Schertz,
Texas' basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 6,
2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reoortin
' In planning and performing our audit, we considered City of Schertz, Texas', internal control
over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over
' financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might
be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively
low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
' functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its
operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Schertz, Texas, financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with
101

(This Page Intentionally Left Blank)
102
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 that are required to be reported under
' Government Auditing Standards.
However, we noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City of Schertz,
Texas in a separate letter dated February 6, 2007.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee,
management, city council, and federal awarding agencies and pass- through entities, and Js
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
