To the Citizens of the City of Schertz, Texas:
DEWEY P. CASHWELL, JR.
CITY MANAGER
The comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) of the City of Schertz, Texas, (the City) for the year
ending September 30, 2001 is submitted herewith. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presentation
including all disclosures rests with the City. The data, as presented, is accurate to the best of our ability in all
material aspects. The report is presented in a manner designed to set forth the financial position of the City
and provide a review of various funds. We have attempted to provide all disclosures necessary to enable the
reader to gain maximum understanding of the City's financial activity.
The accompanying CAFR is presented in the following three (3) sections:
1. Introduction -- Includes this letter of transmittal, Organization Chart, comments regarding economic
conditions and outlook, major occurrences of fiscal year 2000 -2001, and major initiatives for fiscal
year 2001 -02.
2. Financial — This section consists of: the independent auditor's report, general purpose financial
statements including combined balance sheets and combined statements of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balance, notes to financial statements, and individual fund statements and
account groups with supplemental statements. Within information contained in this section is a
review of the accounting system and controls, and includes commentary thereto.
3. Statistical — This section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally
presented on a multi -year basis.
No Single Audit Reports were required for this audit period because the City did not meet the $300,000
threshold, as required by The Single Audit Act, for issuance of this report.
This report includes all funds and account groups of the City of Schertz. The City provides a full range of
services including: police, emergency medical transportation, and fire protection; water and sewer services;
waste collection; code enforcement; comprehensive planning; street maintenance and recreational activities
as well as economic development efforts. While the Schertz Public Library is an operating department of
city government, the Library Board serves as an advisory board and maintains a small amount of funds,
derived from private sources, as a means to fund specific improvements /additions to the library outside City
resources. The Schertz Development Foundation is a separate nonprofit corporation organized and operated
1v
for the charitable purpose of assisting the City of Schertz, Texas, to develop and implement plans for
economic development in our City. The library, economic development corporation, and the foundation are
reported as component units, discretely presented. The Schertz Volunteer Fire Department Board does not
meet the criteria for inclusion in the reporting entity, and accordingly, is excluded from this report.
ECONOMIC CONDITION & OUTLOOK
The city is located near the center of the San Antonio Standard Statistical Metropolitan Area (SMSA) that
continues to rank as one of the strongest business and tourism economies in the Southwest United States.
The economic conditions and outlook for Schertz are very strong. Statistical data for fiscal year 2000 -2001
included new housing starts of 268, compared to 332 for 1999 -2000, and 520 for 1998 -1999. Total building
permit values were $70,912,183 for 2000 -2001, compared to $61,864,013 for 1999 -2000, and $76,501,638 in
1998 -1999. The strength of current economic conditions is further exemplified by unemployment figures
that continue at historically low levels of under 3 %. The City of Schertz is one of the fastest growing and
most economically dynamic communities in the Austin/ San Antonio Corridor, a region that continues to be
one of the fastest growing in the nation. With that growth comes an ever - expanding labor pool, well in
excess of 750,000 at this point, but labor shortages for certain employment segments remains a challenge.
The near term outlook remains extremely positive. Schertz continues to be a major community of choice for
residential development, due to important factors which include a strong local economy, a competitive tax
rate, an excellent quality of life, steadily improving infrastructure, well planned growth, sound political
leadership and effective planning efforts. In addition to residential activity, the city's industrial and business
growth has continued at a steady pace, with the addition of significant industrial and commercial business
this year.
CURRENT YEAR PROJECTS
The city's reputation for quality of life and visionary leadership, along with its excellent strategic location,
continue to make it a target for developers and site selection professionals. The continuing availability of
land for residential, commercial and industrial development has resulted in significant new construction this
year. In support of this activity we have seen the near completion of the FM 78 project, begun in January
2000, the beginning of expansion and widening of the Schertz Parkway, continued annual street repairing
and maintenance, addition of new water lines on FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road and continued water
system construction in conjunction with the city's new water supply arriving from the Carrizo Aquifer in late
summer of 2002. The Schertz Parkway project, on hold for several years, should be completed in summer of
2003, and the Schertz- Seguin Water Project is seeing steady progress toward completion.
MAJOR EVENTS
Fiscal year 2000 -2001 has been, by any standard, a remarkable year for the City of Schertz.
With the continued driving forces of our expanding economy and increasing population the city is not only
being impacted by these forces, it is responding to them in ways that will assure both excellent municipal
services and a high quality of life for its residents.
Evidence of economic growth has been demonstrated in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. In the
residential arena, new homes are now being completed and sold in the newest, and certainly one of the finest
of the city's subdivisions, Jonas Woods. Homes there are already selling well in advance of their grand
opening, and there will ultimately be well in excess of 300 new homes there. In addition, the Forest Ridge
subdivision, which sold out its homes this year, is already moving ahead on its next phase of development.
u
In fact, every subdivision in the city with remaining capacity to expand is moving forward on plans for more
construction. One of the most remarkable occurrences for the city this year in terms of residential growth
was the annexation of the Northcliffe and Scenic Hills subdivision to the north of the city. In addition to the
approximately 800 homes and common property brought into the city, including a golf course and other
amenities, there is strong additional development in this area that will ultimately produce upwards of 900
new residential properties. The city's population also increased by some 2,100 persons as a result of this
very welcome annexation. It is estimated that the city will see an increase in ad valorem revenues alone from
the existing tax base in this area of nearly $300,000 in the first year. In summary, the city currently has more
than 2,400 home sites either master planned or platted, nearly 240 lots available for construction and more
than 100 homes actively under construction.
New business growth has also been strong. In addition to more than 20 new commercial business
establishments the city has also seen the opening of Block Distributing, one of the largest wholesalers of
wine and spirits in the Southwest. Block's new 377,000 square foot building is valued at more that $15
million and houses inventory in excess of $25 million. Block's new facility is located in the city's
increasingly successful Tri County Business and Industrial Park, which also saw the construction by Embray
Partners of 232,000 square feet of new space in two buildings that are now available for lease.
As noted, the community has responded to these new developments and future planned activity in several
important ways.
The transportation network, in order to support more traffic, has seen the near completion of the FM 78
corridor, an $8.3 million state - funded project that has provided for expansion to four lanes of traffic and an
important new bridge over the Cibolo Creek. Now in its final stage, this project should be finished by June
of 2002. Another very significant transportation project was begun this year, the Schertz Parkway
Expansion. This important gateway to our community, begun in the late 1980's, is now under construction.
The $4.5 million parkway project, funded entirely by bonds issued by the City, will provide for
improvements that will include expansion from two lanes to four, a landscaped median, and decorative light
fixtures throughout its course. The Parkway Project will also include a decorative sidewalk and a
hiking/biking/jogging trail. Completion is expected by summer of 2003.
Utilities to support our growth also saw advancement this year. The Schertz - Seguin Local Government
Corporation issued $41 million in revenue bonds and began construction of a 37.5 mile water line that will
bring a 50 -year, drought resistant supply of water to the community by summer of 2002. Both the Parkway
and the Waterline project benefited greatly from the fact that the city, for the first time in its history, went to
the bond market with an A+ rating from Standard and Poors. Only the top 20 percent of municipalities in
Texas can claim such a rating.
The A+ rating resulted in the City realizing a lower interest rate in the bond market and for three major
projects initiated during 2001. The first was a $41 million revenue bond issued with the City of Seguin to
bring a 50 -year supply of water from the Carizzo Aquifer in Gonzales County to residents in both cities.
This innovative water project is the first of its kind in Texas and sets the precedence for future cooperative
efforts with our sister cities.
The second bond issuance was to prepare City's water system to receive the new water supply from the
cooperative effort with the City of Seguin in the development of the Schertz- Seguin Local Government
Corporation. Public Works Department has been heavily involved in retaining easements and overseeing
construction of a $5.5 million revenue bond project to build a 1.5 million - gallon storage tank and needed
pipelines to receive this new water supply arriving from the Carizzo Aquifer. Our third bond project was an
investment of $4.5 million in certificate of obligation bonds to fund a four -lane lighted expansion of the
avenue that bears the City's name (Schertz Parkway).
vi
Organizational and service related responses from the city have also been forthcoming and comprehensive.
These have included the hiring of an active new City Manager who has placed a strong emphasis on strategic
planning and sound investment practices. This year the City completed a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that
involved a high degree of participation with the community and its leadership. Crafted to be a living
document this plan will serve as a key to community success and achievement for many years to come.
Further planning accomplishments were achieved through the City Council's newly initiated Strategic
Planning efforts. With the assistance of staff and professional facilitation, Council participated in two
planning sessions this year, setting priorities, goals, objectives and action steps to address what they believe
are the highest priority policy issues facing the city. Council has made a firm commitment to continue this
process.
In keeping with a strong customer service orientation and sound fiscal practices, city staff has established
plans to pull together virtually all fiscal operations under one roof, under the direction of the newly titled
Director of Finance. In response to prior audit management letter recommendations and the need to improve
customer service, operational effectiveness and security practices, all utility billing and financial operations
will soon be housed in the City Administration Building. This will be accomplished through the
rearrangement of the physical space for personnel and the installation of modular office systems. This
consolidation should be complete by April of 2002.
Substantial turnover in key City personnel has made the past year very demanding in terms of recruitment of
talent to fill several management positions. In addition to installing a new City Manager, the City has seen
the retirement of a long term Fire Chief, replacement of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Director,
the departure of the Chief of Police, and establishment of the positions of Public Information Officer,
Economic Development Director, Leisure Services Director, and Information Technology Coordinator. At
this date the Fire Chief, Public Information Officer, Economic Development Director and Information
Technology Coordinator have been filled. The process is underway to fill the Police Chief and Leisure
Services positions.
In spite of the impact of all this change the City has continued to achieve impressive results in a number of
important areas. These have included major improvements in information technology, interlocal agreements
for emergency services, improved library services and operating hours, fire safety achievement awards,
enhancement of EMS operations, and enhancement of revenues in several areas. In addition, city leadership
and staff have worked together with the community to bring to reality a new Library Playscape project that
will see final construction in March of 2002.
In summary, it's been a very exciting, productive and busy year for the City of Schertz, its leadership and
staff.
INITIATIVES FOR THE FUTURE
FISCAL YEAR 2001 -2002 is already living up to be even more dynamic than last year. On the horizon are
important improvements in technology, organizational structure, transportation, infrastructure, and recreation
elements. With regard to the last item, the City Council plans to take a bond package to the voters this year
that will provide for several items related to Leisure Services. These may include such things as a new
Community Center, a new swimming pool, and acquisition of land for sports and leisure activities.
Enhancements in service capability and the ability to deliver utilities to our customers, especially in the
newly annexed areas, will also be high priorities. The City of Schertz, with each passing year, is clearly
establishing itself in a leadership role among the cities of the Austin -San Antonio corridor, and proving itself
to be able to meet all the challenges this role implies.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's accounting records for general government operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis,
with revenues being recognized when they become both measurable and available and expenditures being
recognized when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred. Accounting records for
the City's utilities and other enterprises are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
In developing the City's accounting systems, consideration has been given to the adequacy of internal
accounting controls. Internal accounting controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding:
• The safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use of disposition and,
• The reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability
for assets.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that:
• The cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and,
• The evaluation of costs and benefits required estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. The City's internal accounting controls
adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
Budgetary control is maintained by the use of purchase order procedures that require encumbrance of the
estimated purchase amounts prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors.
Open encumbrances, if any, are reported as reservations of fund balance at September 30, 2001.
General Governmental Functions: Revenues include general, special revenue, debt service, and capital
projects for general governmental function totaled $7,036,604 in 2001, an increase of 6.7% from 2000.
Taxes produced 63.8% of general revenues compared to 62.7% last year. The amount of revenues from
various sources and the increase /decrease from last year are shown in the following tabulation:

Expenditures: For general governmental purposes, expenditures totaled $7,751,364, an increase of 2.47%
from 2000. Changes in levels of expenditures for major functions of the City over the preceding year are
shown in the following tabulations:
$ 7,751,364 100.0% $ 183,763
As reflected in the financial statements, general fund revenues including sales tax as well as ad valorem taxes
have generally increased. Through cooperative agreements with Guadalupe County, specific
intergovernmental payments for services such as library, fire, and EMS have increased. General fund
expenditures have increased in a number of areas including overall personnel costs resulting from step
increases and related items. We believe overall realignments in budget accounts more correctly reflect actual
cost centers by activity and function than in years prior.

investment pools. The interest earned on such deposits during the year was $628,031, an increase of $40,046
interest compared to earnings during 2000. This increase was due to more funds being invested in
investment pools. Bank deposits and certificates of deposit are secured by FDIC insurance and governmental
securities pledged by Schertz Bank and Trust and held in safekeeping by Frost Bank.

estimate of the original cost of the assets. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not generally recognized in
the City's accounting system.
The City is self - insured on physical damage to specific vehicles. In order to provide coverage for this, risk
funds are designated within the general fund with a balance of $368,263 at September 30, 2001 and an
allocation within the reserve of $368,263.

City of Schertz Emergency Services: During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, Emergency
Services operations revenues increased 53.3% and operating expenses were increased by 23.7 %. This
activity is fully dependent on income fees generated from services rendered and the contracted cities' support
to cover operations costs. This year there was an operating income before depreciation of $208,793.
Other Information
Awards: 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 for its comprehensive annual
financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest
form of recognition for excellence in state and local government finance reporting.
x
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards.
Such reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of Schertz has received a
Certificate of Achievement for the last 13 consecutive years. We believe our current report continues to
conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA.
The City Council has selected the firm Armstrong, Vaughan & Associates, P. C., of Universal City, Texas, to
perform the independent audit for the fiscal year 2000 -2001. We find the background experience and interest
of the firm will assure the accomplishment of the audit function in an outstanding manner and will provide
educational training opportunities for our staff.
Acknowledgements: I want to extend my thanks to the Mayor and members of the City Council for their
interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in an effective and
efficient manner. Mr. Vijay Jain of our staff and Ms. Nancy Vaughan, along with other representatives of
the audit firm Armstrong, Vaughan & Associates, P. C., have provided a high degree of expertise and

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited the accompanying general - purpose financial statements of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2001, as listed in the table of contents. These general - purpose
financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Schertz, Texas', management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these general - purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general - purpose financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the general - purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general - purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of September 30, 2001, and the results of its
operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended in conformity with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated December 19, 2001,
on our consideration of the City of Schertz, Texas', internal control over financial reporting and our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral
part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in
conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general - purpose financial statements
of the City of Schertz, Texas, taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund and account group
financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2001, and supplementary schedules listed in the table
of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general-
purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the general - purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the general - purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

The statistical data, as listed in the table of contents herein, has been summarized from the City's records
and was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general- purpose financial
statements of the City of Schertz, Texas. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on such data.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Schertz, Texas, have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard - setting body for establishing government accounting and
financial reporting principles. The more significant of the government's accounting policies are described
below.
1. REPORTING ENTITY
In evaluating how to define the government, for financial purposes, management has considered all
potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting
entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in GASB Statement 14, "The Financial Reporting
Entity ". The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the concept of financial
accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up
its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials
appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will
on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits
to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government.
Individual Component Unit Disclosures
Discretely presented component units. The component units columns in the combined
financial statements include the financial data of the component units of the City of Schertz. The
component units have been included in this report because the Council appoints a voting majority to
each Board of Directors, and is able to impose its will on the organizations. Following is a
summary of the component units:
Schertz Economic Development Corporation: A non profit corporation
incorporated under the Development Corporation Act of 1979, Texas Revised Civil
Statutes Annotated, Article 5.90.6, Section 4A. The Corporation is organized
exclusively 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.
2. Library: The library's governing board is appointed by the City Council. The
library provides services to the citizens of the City of Schertz as well as surrounding
communities. The function of the Library Board is to work cooperatively with city
management to provide funding and oversight for special projects of the Library.
3. Schertz Development Foundation: The Foundation was incorporated under the
Texas Non - profit Corporation Act to assist the City in developing and
implementing plans for economic viability for the City. The Board of Directors is
appointed by the City Council and the executive director is employed by the City.

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
1. REPORTING ENTITY (Continued)
Tnint VanfiirP
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 entity
meets the criteria for joint ventures:
Schertz /Seguin Local Government Corporation: The 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. Separate financial statements
for the Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation may be obtained from the City of Seguin,
P.O. Box 591, Seguin, Texas 78156. Summarized financial data for the joint venture has been
provided in Note K.
2. FUND ACCOUNTING
The City's accounts are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by
providing a separate set of self - balancing accounts which are comprised of each funds' assets,
liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses as appropriate. Governmental
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which
they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds
are grouped, in the financial statements in this report, into six generic fund types and three broad
fund categories as follows:
Governmental Fund Types:
General Fund:
The General Fund accounts for the resources used to finance the fundamental operations of the
City. It is the basic fund of the City and covers all activities for which a separate fund has not
been established.
Special Revenue Funds:
These funds are used to account for specific revenue sources which are legally restricted to
expenditures for specified activities.
Debt Service Funds:
These funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of
principal and interest on general long -term debt of the City other than Revenue Bonds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3. FUND ACCOUNTING (Continued)
Governmental Fund Types (Continued):
Capital Projects Funds:
These funds are established to account for major capital expenditures not financed by
proprietary or nonexpendable trust funds.
Proprietary Fund Type:
Enterprise Fund:
The Enterprise Fund accounts for operations which are intended to be self - supporting through
user charges. The City operates water and sewer services on this basis.
Internal Service Funds:
Internal service funds account for operations that provide services to other departments or
agencies of the government, or to other governments, on a cost - reimbursement basis.
Account Groups:
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and long -term liabilities
associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All governmental fund types are
accounted for on a spending "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current
assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund
balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable resources."
Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are
said to present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Property, plant, and equipment used in governmental fund type operations are accounted for in the
General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in governmental funds.
Long -term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental fund types are accounted for in the
General Long -Term Debt Account Group, not in the governmental fund.
The two account groups are not "funds ". They are concerned only with the measurement of
financial position. They are not involved with measurement or results of operations.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Governmental Funds (General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects) are accounted
for on a modified accrual basis using a current financial resources measurement focus. Revenues
are recognized in the period in which they are both measurable and available and expenditures are
recognized when incurred except for interest on general long -term debt which is recognized when
due. Sales and property taxes are considered "measurable" when in the hands of intermediary
collecting governments and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other revenues susceptible to
accrual are franchise taxes, interest, and charges for services. Licenses, fines, and permits are not
susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.
Proprietary Funds have an economic resources measurement focus and use the full accrual method
of accounting for both revenues and expenses similar to a commercial enterprise. The City has
elected not to follow any pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) subsequent to November 30, 1989.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in demand deposits, interest bearing accounts and
deposits in local government investment pools. The City is allowed 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 as to investment
quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating 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 invests in local government
investment pools.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Fund
considers all highly liquid investments including cash in banks, cash on hand, money market
accounts, deposits in local government investment pools, and restricted cash and temporary
investments to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes are levied on January 1 of each year on all taxable property within the City. The
taxes become due and payable on October 1 following the levy date and delinquent on February 1 of
the subsequent year. Penalties and interest are added for payments made after the February 1 due
date. The City contracts with the Guadalupe County Tax Assessor - Collector for the billing and
collection of the property taxes. Taxes receivable are shown net of the related allowance for
uncollectible taxes of $6,055.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
5. PROPERTY TAXES (Continued)
For fiscal year 2001, the assessed tax rate for the City was $3405 per $100 on an assessed valuation
of $731,305,433. This is broken out as $3147 for general maintenance and operations and $.0258
for debt retirement.
6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
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.
7. INVENTORIES AND PREPAID ITEMS
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the first - in/first -out (FIFO)
method. The costs of governmental fund -type inventories 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.
8. RESTRICTED ASSETS
Certain proceeds of Enterprise Fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their
repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by
applicable bond convenants. Funds are segregated to report those proceeds of revenue bond
issuances that are restricted for use in construction. Funds are also segregated to provide for debt
services as provided under bond indenture agreements.
9. FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are recorded at cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated
fixed assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.
Costs incurred for the purchase or construction of general fixed assets are recorded as capital outlay
expenditures in the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds. All such costs are
capitalized in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Public domain, ( "infrastructure ") general
fixed assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, curbs, gutters,
streets, and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems are capitalized.
Amounts expended for property, plant, and equipment in the Enterprise Fund are capitalized in the
fixed asset accounts within that fund. Interest incurred during the construction phase of proprietary
fund fixed assets is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned
on the invested proceeds over the same period.

management plans that are subject to change. Unreserved retained earnings for the proprietary fund
represents the net assets available for future operations or distribution. Reserved retained earnings

purposes. The proprietary fund's contributed capital represents equity acquired through capital
grants and capital contributions from developers, customers, or other funds.

20. COMPARATIVE DATA
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in selected sections of the
accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the City's
financial position and operations.
21. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Quasi - external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or expenses. Transactions
that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures /expenses initially made from it that are
properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures /expenses in the reimbursing fund
and as reductions of expenditures /expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
22. BUDGETS
An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year for the general fund, hotel/motel tax (special
revenue) fund, park (special revenue) fund, recycling (special revenue) fund and debt service fund.
Annual budgets are not legally required for the other special revenue funds. For capital projects
funds, total estimated revenues and other financing sources and estimated expenditures are approved
at the inception of each project. Accordingly, no comparison of budget to actual is presented in the
annual financial statements for these funds. In addition, as part of the overall budget process,
budgets are adopted for the proprietary funds, however, the City does not require a reporting as part
of the comprehensive annual financial report. The budget is adopted on the same basis of
accounting as described in note A 3. Budgetary preparation and control is exercised at the
departmental level. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budget amounts between line items
within a department; however, any transfer or supplemental appropriation that amends the total
expenditures of a department or total budget requires City Council approval. During the year, the
City made various departmental and line item transfers to the budget for the general fund; which had
the following effect:

22. BUDGETS (Continued)
All appropriations lapse at the end of each year. Encumbrances represent commitments related to
unperformed contracts for goods or services. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase
orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditures of resources are recorded to reserve
that portion of the applicable appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds. Encumbrances
lapse at year end and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments must be
reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year.

Bonded debt of the City consists of various series of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of
obligation, public facility loan (HUD), and a note payable. General obligation bonds are direct obligations
of the City for which its full faith and credit are pledged, and are payable from taxes levied on all taxable
property located within the City. Revenue bonds are generally payable from pledged revenues generated by
the water and sewer fund. The debenture agreement for water and sewer bonds require funds be available
for 1 /12th the principal and 1 /6th interest requirements of the next fiscal year. Certificates of obligation are
payable from a levy of ad valorem taxes upon all taxable property within the City, and are further payable
from certain net revenues derived from the operation of the City's combined water and sewer systems after
operations of the water and sewer systems and has equal status with first lien revenue bonds. The note
payable is payable from revenues generated by the water and sewer fund.
The City is required to accumulate a Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the average annual principal and
interest on the Revenue Bonds. The City has purchased a surety bond through MBIA Insurance Corporation
to fund the required reserve amount.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE D -- LONG -TERM DEBT (Continued)
Advance Refunding. The City issued $5,550,000 of revenue bonds to provide resources to improve and
enlarge the existing utility system, and to discharge and refund outstanding revenue debt. $823,250 of the
proceeds of the new issue were placed in an irrevocable trust for the purpose of generating resources for all
future debt service payments on $785,000 of refunded debt. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered
to be defeased and the liability has been removed from the long -term debt of the Water and Sewer Fund.
The advance refunding was undertaken to reduce total debt service payments over the next twenty years by
$85,370 and resulted in an economic gain of $10,934. The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying
amount of the old debt by $54,505. This amount is being netted against the new debt and amortized over the
old debt's life, which is shorter than the life of the new debt.
NOTE E -- RETIREMENT PLAN

Retirement System, P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas 78714.
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City -
financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for
service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been
contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service
since the plan began are a percent (100 %, 150 %, or 200 %) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In
addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated
service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated
contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits
and employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and City
matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of
his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is
calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer -
financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity.
Members can retire at age 60 and above with 10 or more years of service or with 25 years of service,
regardless of age. A member is vested after 10 years. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial
constraints also in the statutes.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE E -- RETIREMENT PLAN (Continued)
Texas Municipal Retirement Fund: (Continued)
Contributions (Continued)
The contribution rate for the employees is 5 %, and the City matching percent is currently 1.5 to 1, both as
adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the State law governing TMRS, the City contribution rate
is annually determined by the actuary. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior
service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The
normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits due to the City matching
percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the
employee's contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent
of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his/her retirement
becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial
liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25 -year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost
method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Contributions are made monthly by both the
employees and the City. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance to budget for it, there
is a one -year delay between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when
the rate goes into effect (i.e., December 31, 2000 valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2002).
For 2000, the City's annual pension cost of $301,447 was equal to the City's required and actual
contributions. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 8% investment rate of return, (b) no projected salary
increases, (c) no inflation component and (d) the amortization period is open. The actuarial value of TMRS
assets was determined based on market- related values.

PROPRIETARY FUND TYPE
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are established to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar
to private business enterprises — where the intent of the governing body is that costs (expenses, including
depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. The City operates the Water and Sewer System and the Schertz
Area Facility for Emergency Services (SAFES) on this basis.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GO VERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Schertz, Texas
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Schertz, Texas, as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2001, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2001. We conducted our audit
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Schertz, Texas, general- purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material affect on the determination of the financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such
an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Compliance Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Schertz, Texas, control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
general- purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial
reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over fmancial reporting would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components
does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in
relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no
matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over financial
reporting that we have reported to management of the City of Schertz in a separate letter dated
December 19, 2001.
