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.

52%
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.
10
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.

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

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

reported when due.

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.

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
Total 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
table:

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.
1% Decrease in 1% Increase in

factors, as of December 31, 2018, the measurement and actuarial valuation date, was calculated as follows:

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.

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.
