Presentation and possible discussion of the preliminary 2014/15 year-end fund balances -- Laurie Brewer,
Assistant City Manager and Lisa Haines, Controller
ITEM SUMMARY:
A preliminary year end 2015 projected versus actual fund balance/working capital report is included. This
report compares what was estimated during the budget process as year-ending balances with the actual
results. The balances are preliminary and un-audited. The City’s external auditors, Weaver and Tidwell, LLP
have been on-site to audit the City’s 2014/15 financial records. The final, audited financial statements will be
presented to GGAF on February 24, 2016 and submitted to Council for approval on March 8, 2016.
2014/15 YE Major Fund Highlights include:
General Fund: $189,429 higher than projected fund balance due to:
· Expenditures less than expected, but within 1.65% of projections
· Sales tax revenues were slightly higher than projections
· Other revenues are lower, but within 2.26% of projections
Electric Fund: $2.1 million higher than projected fund balance due to:
· $4.9 million timing of CIP projects that will be rolled forward into 2015/16
· Revenues and purchased power expenses were higher
· Strong development growth results in an increase to our customer base
Water Services Fund: $14.3 million higher than projected fund balance due to:
· $13.9 million timing of CIP projects that will be rolled forward into 2015/16
· Strong development related revenues
· Full year impact of CTSUD
All other variances are related either to CIP projects timing, grant project timing, other operational savings or
planned and approved changes. For Special Revenue Funds, all fund balances are projected to be spent each
year; therefore, the increases are as expected.
Council may consider allocating balances in excess of projections for the General Fund ending fund balance.
An excerpt of the Fiscal & Budgetary policy on the use of excess fund balance is provided below for
reference.
Section IV. Operating Budget
L. Use of Unanticipated and Unappropriated General Fund Balances - Within 90 days after fiscal year
end, staff will report the projected general fund balance to Council. In the event that unexpected, unbudgeted
amounts are determined to be available in the General Fund after year end, these funds may be used for any
of the following purposes, as approved by the City Council:
1. to fund capital projects;
2. to fund equipment purchases in lieu of issuing debt;
3. to reduce outstanding city debt, including bonded indebtedness and unfunded pension liabilities;
4. to fund contingent liabilities such as the benefit payout reserve, cemetery trust fund, and similar
obligations of the city;
5. to take other steps to reduce property tax rates or mitigate any future increases;
6. to hold those funds in reserve for future commitments or contingencies that may be pending, and/or
7. to fund an economic uncertainty reserve of up to three (3) percent of annual General Fund operating
expenditures.
Budget amendments for 2014/15 & 2015/16 year-end adjustments and rolls forward of major projects will be
Page 2 of 72
presented in January 2016, once all 2014/15 numbers are finalized for the CIP and other projects.

SUBJECT:
Overview and Discussion regarding the use of a Municipal Utility District (MUD) for the proposed Kasper
Development -- Sofia Nelson,CNU-A, Planning Director
ITEM SUMMARY:
Background:
On October 27, 2015 the City Council held a workshop to discuss the Kasper Development. The presentation
included an overview of the proposed development and the consistency of the development with the adopted
Interim Municipal Utility District (MUD) policy. The workshop was held to both brief the City Council on
the development and at the request of the applicant to receive feedback from the City Council on whether an
ETJ MUD is generally supported at this specific location.
Requested Feedback from the Council:
At the October 27th workshop the City Council requested a financial comparison of an ETJ MUD vs. an in-
city MUD prior to providing direction on whether an ETJ MUD can be supported at this location. The
applicant is seeking feedback from the City Council prior to proceeding with the formal MUD request and
negotiations with staff.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The following financial impact information has been included for your review:
A financial breakdown of the tax rates for standard in city development, an in-city MUD, and an ETJ
MUD.
The developer prepared analysis of reimbursements for an in-city MUD vs reimbursements for an ETJ
MUD.
Prior to taking action on a consent agreement for a municipal utility district a detailed financial impact
statement will be provided for City Council review.

X 8 Address future annexation of the MUD, when located in the ETJ.
X 9
Require development in a MUD to exceed minimum UDC land
use and development standards and address the land use
provisions in the consent agreement or related agreement.
The proposed development is a single-family home development. The Interim
MUD policy requires a development seeking a MUD to utilize innovative
subdivision design, a variety of uses, commit to higher architectural design,
provide school sites, enhanced landscaping, commitment to workforce housing,
and a commitment to prohibit age restricted homes.
The development as it has been proposed has committed to prohibiting age
restricted homes and will exceed the minimum UDC land development standards
in the following section: masonry requirements. The subdivision as it has been
proposed does not appear to meet the requirements for innovative subdivision
design, workforce housing, commercial development, or a commitment to overall
higher architectural design. Page 49 of 72

The developer has proposed a central greenway and trail network. Details of
the proposal have not been provided. A detailed proposal requires review by
the Parks Director and Parks Advisory Board.
X X 11 Address transportation issues and include transportation
provisions in the consent agreement.
The Interim MUD policy requires a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA),reduced use of
cul-de-sacs and increased connectivity, dedication of right-of-way (ROW),
aesthetically pleasing streetscapes, and low-impact development stormwater
management and water quality techniques.
The development as it has been proposed has included an arterial level
roadway shown on the transportation master plan-this is a standard
requirement of all developments. The applicant has requested to delay the
preparation of a TIA and in its current proposal the subdivision has been
designed to have minimal connectivity. Page 50 of 72
