As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of
material misstatements, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have direct and material effect on the
financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective
if 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.
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 City'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

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, 2020.
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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 41,199 in 2019 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
1400 Schertz Parkway Schertz, Texas 78154 210.619.1000 scher:z.,.oyrf
a
INEMMANE,
couneilmembers. 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 30`i'. 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 on pages 55 -56
as part of the required supplementary information.
Factors AffectinLy 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 2020. The surrounding metro area saw some
contractions evidenced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas reporting the San Antonio Business -Cycle Index
decreased 4.33% year over year for September 2020. This Index potentially indicates a new period of economic
contraction around the state. As of September 2020, the unemployment rate for Texas was 8.3% 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 6.2 percent during this time.
Despite these indicators for the surrounding area, the City of Schertz realized a 15.3% increase year - over -year
in sales tax collections during the fiscal year. Despite the pandemic, Schertz' retail outlets and restaurants
remained open and doing busines during the pandemic. The businesses in the industrial complex also remained
open, many of whom reworked their product lines to assist with creations of masks and other goods needed
during the pandemic.
Further showcasing Schertz' economic resilience, it also saw a diverse range of new products developed its real
estate and land markets with approximately 270,000 square feet of new commercial and industrial space. Nexus
Medical's new facility located on Schertz Parkway. The 36,450 sf building a project is host to 100 employees.
Other new facilities included Casa Mechanical's new facility (71,255 sf) located on 7770 FM 482 and Ryder
Truck's facility expansion (19,226 st) on 9993 Doerr Ln. The industrial vacancy rate decreased from 9.4% to
9.0% from the previous quarter.
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.
1400 Schertz Parkway Schertz, Texas 78154 210.619.1000 scheitz,co
COMMUNITY
("THERTZ I SERVICE
OPPORTUNITY
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. The fire station was completed in November 2020.
Current Year Budget Initiatives. For FY 2020 -21, the City is using the momentum from the previous year
and is putting an additional $500,000 into city infrastructure from the General Fund Fund Balance and
undergoing a new Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Due to growing needs the City will also hire a Police Captain
and Senior Planner.
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 on pages 121, 123, 125, and 127. A more
detailed summary of the City's Financial Performance is available in the Management Discussion and Analysis
section on page 4.
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 Acknowledizements
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, 2019. This was the 35th 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.

SCHIEPUZ I OCOMMUNITY
PPORTUNITY
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
Report on the Financial Statements
PATTILLO, BROWN & FALL, L.L.P.
401 west state Highway 6
Waco, Texas 76710
254.772.4901 pbhcpa.com
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, 2020, 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 10.0 percent and 11.9 percent, respectively, of the
assets and net position of the Water and Sewer Fund, and 9.7 percent and 11.8 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, 2020, 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
We have previously audited the City of Schertz, Texas' fiscal year 2019 financial statements, and we
expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated March 18,
2020. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2019 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.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 19,
2021, 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, 2020. 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 $243,392,976 (net position). Of this amount, $34,728,518 (unrestricted net position) may
be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net position increased by $7,756,417. The primary reason for this increase was a decrease in the
City's net pension liability of approximately $4.1 million from the prior year.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$50,993,654, a decrease of $5,840,724 in comparison with the prior year. The primary cause of this decrease was a
payment of $3.7 million by the City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation to Schertz 312, LLC related to an
economic development performance agreement.
At the end of the fiscal year, the combined total of the General Fund assigned and unassigned fund balances was
$12,098,536 which is 35.51% of the general fund expenditures not including capital outlay. The fund balance policy
is to reserve at least a 26% balance.
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 over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the
case of the City of Schertz, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $243,392,976
at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City's total net position (68 %) 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.
I1
An additional portion of the City's total net position (18 %) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $34,728,518, 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.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City nfSchertz 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 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 $50,993,654. Of this total amount, $10,126,057 constitutes unassigned fund balance, which
is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder offund balance 1s 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 $10,126,057, while total fund balance was $14,897,460,
a decrease of $2,568,208 from the prior year. Overall, the decrease was caused by a large budgeted transfer out for
capital projects, but the fund also experienced increases in property and sales tax revenues in spite of the COVID-19
pandemic. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance
and total fund balance Lo total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 35.5196nf total general fund
expenditures, not including capital outlay.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $785,919, 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 $216,307. This
decrease was due to regular principal and interest payments on long-term debt exceeding interest and sinking
property tax revenue during the year. Over time, however, the debt service fund has sufficient cash and equivalents
on hand to remain liquid.
The capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $10,137,558, a decrease of $3,050,113. This decrease was
caused by the expenditure of accumulated funds for planned capital projects, which were supplemented by amounts
transferred from the general and Economic Development Corporation funds.
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 year
end, the EDC fund reported an ending fund balance of $21,018,626, which is a decrease of $758,630 compared to
the prior year. The primary cause of this change was a planned use of fund balance that was less than the $3 million
budgeted.
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 $29,368,969 and those for the Schertz EMS fund amounted to $1,201,748, which are 124% and
20% of fund operating costs, respectively.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund expenditures were $2,129,055 less than the $31,816,758 budget. This was the result of cost
savings across most of the General Fund due to decreased demand for services. Generally, activities citywide
decreased because of the COVID -19 pandemic beginning in March 2020. Revenues were $592,075 more than
budgeted, primarily due to increased property and sales tax revenues over the budgeted amount. Overall, ending
fund balance in the general fund was $2,326,686 higher than budgeted.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capita/ assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of
September 30, 2020, amounts to $236,723,755 (net of accumulated depreciation). Developers contributed
$823,504 in infrastructure during the year. The City also has several projects in progress from voter approved
bonds.
Significant capital asset activity for the year included continued construction on the Corbett Elevated Tank
project for $2.5 million, various sewer system improvements amounting to $3.6 million, and an additional $1
million spent on the new Fire Station 3.
Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in the noes to the basic financial statements.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
At the end of the last fiscal year, the assigned and unassigned fund balance in the general fund increased to $14.2
million. The City of Schertz has appropriated $1.1 million of this amount for spending in the 2021 fiscal year budget
in accordance to the City's fund balance policy. The approved tax rate decreased from $0.5146 to $0.5087 per $100
of valuation.
The City also considered the effects of the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic. Although the pandemic has resulted in
an economic downturn and presents significant future uncertainty, the City's property tax revenues were not
significantly affected, as those tax revenues were due in January before the pandemic began. Each year the City
updates its five -year budgeting forecast and has implemented a long -term debt model to assist management in
making informed financial decisions that will impact the community now and in the future.

RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Total Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ 50,993,654
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. 144,079,930
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. ( 61,184,674)
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. (
328,322)
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 (
2,170,381)
Deferred loss
591,766
Receivables from grants, 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.
3,466,337
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, 2020
Net Changes in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
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
Depreciation expense
The net effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales,
trade -ins, or donations) is to decrease net position.
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Grants
Property taxes
Court fines
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.
Repayment of principal of long -term debt
Amortization of:
Loss on refunding
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.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
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.
28
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 Capital Projects Fund accounts for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities
financed from bond proceeds, grants, and transfers from other funds.
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.
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.
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.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers cash and other investments with maturities
of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
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.
30
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
31
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 over the
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.
32
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.
33
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, 2020 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
A. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
As of September 30, 2020, the City had the following cash, cash equivalents and investments:
LOGIC, Lone Star Investment Pool and Texas CLASS are recorded as cash equivalents in the financial
statements. All of the pools have redemption notice periods of one day and may redeem daily. The
investment pools' authorities may only impose restrictions on redemptions in the event of a general
suspension of trading on major securities markets, general banking moratorium or national state of
emergency that affects the pools' liquidity.
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.

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.
34
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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2019, upon which the fiscal 2020 levy was based, was $3,794,711,341 (i.e., market
value less exemptions). The estimated market value was $5,135,969,482, making the taxable value 73.9%
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, 2020, was $0.5087 per $100 of assessed
value, which means that the City has a tax margin of $1.9913 for each $100 value and could increase its
annual tax levy by approximately $75,564,087 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.
C. Receivables
Receivables as September 30, 2020 for the government's individual major funds and nonmajor funds in the
aggregate, including the applicable allowances for uncollectible accounts, are as follows:
D. Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources
Governmental funds report unavailable revenue in connection with receivables for revenue that is not
considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. At the end of the current fiscal year,
the various components of unavailable revenue and unavailable revenue reported in the governmental funds

H. Lonci-Term Debt
Changes in long -term debt for the year ending September 30, 2020 are as follows:
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 $36.3 million and
sales tax revenue was $14.4 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.

A. Retirement Plan
Plan Description. The City of Schertz participates as one of 888 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, 2019 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the
benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 116
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 209
Active employees 344
Total 669
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 15.92% and 16.04% in calendar years 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2020 were $3,235,479 and were equal
to the required contributions.
43
Net Pension Liability. The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2019, and
the Total Pension Liability JPQ 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.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.SU% per year
Overall payroll growth 2.75% per year
Investment rate of return 6.75% net ofpension plan investment expense,
including inflation
Salary increases are based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members are based on the
PUB(10) mortality tables with the Public Safety table used for males and the General Employee table used
for females. Mortality rates for healthy retirees and beneficiaries are based on the Gender-distinct 2019
Municipal Retirees of Texas mortality tables. The rates for actives, healthy retirees and beneficiaries are
projected on a fully generational basis by Scale UMP to account for future mortality improvements. For
disabled annuitants, the same mortality tables for healthy retirees is used with a 4-year set-forward for
males and a 3-year set-forward for females. In addition, a 3.596 and 3.096 minimum mortality rate will be
applied to reflect the impairment for younger members who become disabled for males and females. The
rates are projected on a fully generational basis by Scale UMP to account for future mortality improvements
subject to the floor.
The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial investigation of the experience of
TMRS over the four-year period from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2010. They were adopted in
2019 and first used in the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation. The post-retirement mortality assumption
for healthy annuitants and Annuity Purchase Rate (APRs) are based on the Mortality Experience Investigation
Study covering 2009 through 2011 and dated December 31, 2013. In conjunction with these changes first
used in the December 31, 2013 valuation, the System adopted the Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method
and a one-time change to the amortization policy. 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 ofTMRS.
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 real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. In determining their best
estimate of recommended investment return assumption under the various alternative asset allocation
portfolios, GRS focused on the area between (1) arithmetic mean (aggressive) without an adjustment for
time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean (conservative) with an adjustment for time (aggressive).

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

B. Other Post - Employment Benefits
The City participates in two defined - benefit other post - employment benefit (OPEB) plans: the Texas
Municipal Retirement System Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (TMRS SDBF), and its own single - employer
retiree health plan. Both are described in detail below.
The total OPEB liabilities of both plans are typically liquidated through the General Fund and Enterprise
Funds.
TMRS Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
Plan Description. The City voluntarily participates in a single - employer other postemployment benefit
(OPEB) plan administered by TMRS. The Plan is a group -term life insurance plan known as the Supplemental
Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The Plan is established and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act
identically to the City's pension plan. SDBF includes coverage for both active and retired members, and
assets are commingled for the payment of such benefits. Therefore, the Plan does not qualify as an OPEB
Trust in accordance with paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75.
Benefits Provided. The SDBF provides group -term life insurance to City employees who are active
members in TMRS, including or not including retirees. The City Council opted into this program via an
ordinance, and may terminate coverage under, and discontinue participation in, the SDBF by adopting an
ordinance before November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1.
Payments from this fund are similar to group -term life insurance benefits, and are paid to the designated
beneficiaries upon the receipt of an approved application for payment. The death benefit for active
employees provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated
based on the employee's actual earnings for the 12 -month period preceding the month of death). The
death benefit for retirees is considered an other employment benefit and is a fixed amount of $7,500.
Membership in the plan at December 31, 2019, the valuation and measurement date, consisted of:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 90
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 59
Active employees 344
Tota 1 493
Contributions. The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an
annual actuarial valuation, which was 0.12% for 2020 and 0.12% for 2019, 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, 2020 were $4,080 representing contributions for both active and
retiree coverage, which equaled the required contributions each year.
46
Total OPEB Liability. The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation was
determined using the following actuarial assumptions and inputs:

2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables.
The rates are projeted on a fully generational bases
with scale UMP.
Mortality Rates - Disabled Retirees 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables
with a 4 year set forward for males and a 3 year set -
forward for females. In addition, a 3.5% and 3%
minimum mortality rate will be applied to reflect the
impairment for younger members who become
disabled for males and females, respectively. The
rates are projected on a fully generational basis with
scale UMP to account for future mortality
improvements subject to the floor.
Changes in assumptions reflect the annual change in the municipal bond rate. The actuarial assumptions
used in the December 31, 2019 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the
period December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018.
Discount Rate. 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,
2019.
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 (2.75%)
in measuring the total OPEB liability.

factors, as of December 31, 2019, the measurement and actuarial valuation date, was calculated as follows:
Changes in assumptions and other inputs reflect a change in the discount rate from 3.71% to 2.75 %.
OPEB Expense and Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources Related to OPEB. For the year

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.
48
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, 2019, the valuation date,
consisted of:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 8
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits -
Active employees 332
Total 340
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.
The City's Retiree Health OPEB Liability (TOL) as of December 31, 2019, was calculated as follows:
The actuarial valuation was performed as of December 31, 2019. Changes of assumptions reflect a change in
the discount rate from 3.71% as of December 31, 2018 to 2.75% as of December 31, 2019, revised TMRS
demographic assumptions, and updates to both the health care trend and participation assumptions.
The following presents the TOL of the City, calculated using the discount rate of 2.75% as well as what the

C. Joint Ventures
Schertz /Seguin Local Government Corporation
The 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.
Payments to the corporation are generally for the purchase of water treatment and for covering the
Corporation's debt service requirements; they are reflected as "operating expenses" in the water and sewer
fund and totaled $6,942,912 for the year ended September 30, 2020. Separate financial statements for the
Schertz /Seguin Local Government Corporation may be obtained from the City of Seguin, 210 East Gonzales
Street, Seguin, Texas 78156.

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 $2,844,145 from
taxing entities (net of administrative reimbursements) and remitted $2,000,000 to the developer as of
September 30, 2020.
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

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, 2020, the City reimbursed $1,223,379 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, 2020, 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.
51
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:
City of Schertz - LGC 380.001 $ 420,050 $ 200,000
SEDC - LGC 501.101 811,445 522,819
SEDC - LGC 201.103 4,722,292 3,534,167
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 forthe 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.
53
E. Subseauent Event
In November 2020, the City issued General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2020 in the amount of
$7,555,000. These bonds have interest rates ranging from 1.50% and 4.00% and will mature in February
2036. These bonds will be used to refund the General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2011 to provide a
present value savings and are secured by the City's ad valorem tax revenue.
F. New Accounting 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 2021.
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 2022.
G. COVID -19
In early March 2020, the COVID-19 virus was declared a global pandemic, and it continues to cause market
fluctuations. Business continuity and financial markets, including supply chains and consumer demand
across a broad range of industries and countries, could be severely impacted for months or more, as
governments and their citizens take significant and unprecedented measures to mitigate the consequences
of the pandemic. Management is carefully monitoring the situation and evaluating its options during this
time.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO BUDGETARY SCHEDULES
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
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. A Grant sub -fund is included in the General Fund for financial reporting
purposes, and was not included in the legally adopted budget of the General Fund. Therefore, the amount of
the Grant sub -fund is presented as a reconciling item between the budgetary General Fund actual amounts
and the General Fund amounts presented in the basic financial statements.
Budgetary preparation and control are exercised at the department level. Actual expenditures may not legally

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, 2019 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.
