Re: Annual Report
Fiscal year 2008/2009 has been an exceptionally challenging year for the City of Euless
as well as our nation as a whole. While no region has been untouched by the recession,
some have been affected worse than others. To this point, we have been very fortunate to
have been able to weather the storm. However, while news accounts have recently
reported that the worst is past, it seems that may not be the case in our area. July's sales
tax receipts reflected a significant decline of 27% from July 2008 collections. This is by
far the greatest decrease we have seen to this point.
I have been extremely proud of our management team as well as our entire group of
employees as they have responded to the challenge to cut expenditures without cutting
services. This challenge has been met with a positive attitude and a commitment to
service. I have also been very proud of each of you during this time. There has been no
hint of panic as you have patiently trusted us and assisted us to manage our way through
this period. We remain totally committed to doing the job you've entrusted us to do as we
carefully pick our way through these treacherous financial waters yet not lose sight of the
bright future which lies ahead.
The overall financial health of our city is quite strong. This basis of strength will allow us
to be prepared for the inevitable economic recovery which we all believe will sweep
across our nation at some point in the future. We have maintained our healthy cash
reserves during this downturn. We have not cut so deeply that restoration of service
would have required drastic budgetary increases in the future. In other words, we have
worked hard to balance expenditures to the reduced revenues without digging the hole
too deep.
At this time last summer, as we looked ahead to FY2009, energy costs were expected to
be a major challenge. In fact, energy prices have decreased significantly. We looked
forward to the potential of leasing the remaining acreage of city properties for gas
exploration. However, within days of our FY2009 budget approval, the Barnett Shale
market totally collapsed due to general economic conditions nationally and the significant

decrease in the price of natural gas. We began to collect our first royalty checks from
XTO on our golf course property this spring. Even with the exceptionally low price of
natural gas and the expected production decline, it is obvious that these royalty checks
will provide a welcome source of new revenue into the future. The volatility of the
production and gas prices will require careful avoidance of viewing this as a dependable
revenue source. However, the accumulation of the gas royalty revenue for the purpose of
early debt retirement of the Texas Star Golf Course and the Texas Star Sports Complex
will provide great opportunity in future years.
In spite of the bleak financial conditions, we have completed a significant amount of
work on behalf of our residents this year. Attached you will find a summary of some of
the FY2009 projects along with a copy of the 2008/2009 goals. I hope you'll take the
time to review these and celebrate what we've accomplished this year.
For FY2009/2010 we will be facing a great deal of uncertainty. The July sales tax reports
along with the July 25th final Tarrant Appraisal District reports will be the last predictors
we will receive prior to our budget work session. I wish we had a crystal ball to tell us
what the next few months hold in store for us, particularly from the standpoint of sales
tax receipts. At this point, we're forced to make our best, educated estimate and be
prepared to live within whatever revenues we receive. Water availability and cost will
provide a continued challenge to us. We believe water will challenge us all for the
forseeable future. The brighter side of the FY2010 outlook is that construction costs are
expected to remain down which should serve us well on our capital projects.
The budgets we propose to you should be a reflection of your Mission and Vision
Statements as well as the goals we plan to achieve in FY2010. I have attached a copy of
your Mission and Vision Statements as well as the proposed FY2010 goals. I trust you
will find that the proposed budget reflects a careful balance between these documents
within the context of the financial atmosphere we find ourselves in with careful
consideration of the health, safety, and welfare of our residents.

It's hot, it's dry, our minds are numb from dealing with numbers...it must be time to have a Budget Work
Session. This fiscal year didn't go quite as we had all planned and I'm pretty sure the upcoming year will
be full of surprises as well. Let's hope they are pleasant surprises!
We feel very fortunate to be able to provide you with a budget that maintains all services to our
residents and maintains our very low tax rate. As usual, there is a wealth of information contained in
your Preliminary Budget Book as well as the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) book. As you review the
materials, I'd ask that you pay particular attention to Tabs 1, 51 8, and 10. Tab 1 provides an Executive
Summary which will serve to provide the most critical information for our discussions. The CIP book will
reflect our recommended projects for the upcoming year in the UNFUNDED section as 'A' projects. The
'B' projects are those planned within the next 5 years.
I would call your attention to a change in the Preliminary Budget Book. In recent years, the
expenditure and revenue summaries throughout the book have expressed increases/decreases
between the Estimated current year and Projected upcoming year columns. Due to the significant cuts
we have had to make this year, this comparison of estimated to projected does not adequately
convey to the reader the steps that were taken to reduce the budget and to live within the fund
available. We believe that a comparison to last year's budget will more appropriately reflect the
reductions that have been made to manage through these difficult times.
At our work session, we will plan to move quickly and cover the material at a very high level. As usual,
we will spend as much time as necessary to get you comfortable with the various decisions called for in
the adoption of this budget. We hope to have time to spend a considerable portion of the weekend on
various discussion topics. Please let us know if you have a specific topic you'd like for us to be prepared
to discuss.
We look forward to a productive weekend with a healthy exchange of ideas. Please give us a call if we
can assist you in your preparations.

"Water Conservation Pricing is the use of rate
structures that discourage the inefficient use or
waste of water. Conservation pricing structures
include increasing unit prices with increased
consumption such as inverted block rates, base
rates and excess use rates such as water budget
rates, and seasonal rates. This BMP is intended
for all Municipal Water User Groups ("utility")
wishing to send price signals to customers to
encourage water conservation. "

would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate
is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates
are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as
required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
