In accordance with requirements of State law and the City of Euless' Home Rule Charter, the operating and
capital budgets for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007and ending September 30, 2008 are presented
for your review.
With completion of the Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget, I am pleased to report that we will continue to provide
quality services to our citizens, customers, and community partners. The City of Euless has achieved many
accomplishments over the last year, and services to our citizens continue to set the standard for our
neighboring cities.
FY2007 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Highlighted below are a few of the major accomplishments along with the goal achieved:
Provide for a competitive salary and benefit plan to retain quality work force, specifically, the
step pay plan that was implemented for the non-exempt employees was continued and provides for
four steps of approximately 3.5% each. The plan was designed to ensure employees achieve
midpoint of the pay range after completion of three years of service at which point all future raises
will be based on merit. The step plan is reviewed annually to ensure salaries remain competitive with
surrounding cities. Exempt employees are eligible for raises based on performance. The City also
significantly increased its baseline contribution to the insurance fund in order to minimize the
premium increase to employees.
Utilize innovative and technological methods for better and more efficient services,
specifically, the City successfully implemented an online bill payment system to allow Euless citizens
to pay their water bill through the city’s website, implemented a new lock box system in the water
office which has significantly increased staff efficiency by eliminating many manual processes,
developed a program for public works to track water, sewer, and street maintenance, and continued
the annual computer replacement program. The geographical information systems (GIS)
department completed a plat scanning project which has increased the accuracy of our base
mapping, created a web-based plat lookup program and expanded the use of GIS in fire service,
getting Euless national exposure on its use of GIS technology and Pictometry.

www.ci.euless.tx.us
Provide matching grant funds for qualified projects, specifically, the police department
continued to receive overtime grants for traffic enforcement programs. The public works department
participated in the CDBG grant program with Tarrant County for water and wastewater repairs within
the City. The police and fire departments participated in a grant program with the Department of
Homeland Security’s Office of Domestic Terrorism Preparedness which has provided for upgrades
to the Emergency Operations Command Center. The library received the Lone Star Library Grant
from the State of Texas which enabled them to provide new program to their patrons.
Repair and replace deteriorating infrastructure, specifically, the City continued the annual street
overlay and sidewalk maintenance program, continued to make improvements on drainage
channels, completed the reconstruction of Pipeline Road, continued the reconstruction of Glade
Road through an inter-local agreement with the City of Grapevine, completed the construction of the
new Public Works facility, and replaced several water and sewer mains throughout the city.
Promote economic development within the City, specifically, the Shops at Vineyard Village,
which is located on the southeast corner of Glade Road and Highway 121, opened their first major
tenants, including Lowe’s Home Improvement, L.A. Fitness, and a Chili’s restaurant. In addition,
several smaller retail shops and restaurants have opened along the frontage road, with construction
continuing on the larger pad sites. This development, which will provide approximately 385,000
square feet of retail shops and restaurants when complete, is 96% leased. In addition, another
development on the west side of 121 is expected to provide approximately 1,200,000 square feet of
commercial, retail, and residential development. The developer is expected to bring forth a site plan
early in 2008.
Enhancement of the City’s image, specifically, the City continued landscaping and monument sign
projects along the major thoroughfares and medians, which will significantly improve the aesthetics
of the major thoroughfares and entrances throughout the city.
Providing quality services is our main goal. As we begin looking to next fiscal year, the budget becomes the
plan to assist us in achieving the goals City Council has set to continue its mission to provide our citizens
the most efficient services possible that protect and enhance quality of life, through planning and visionary
leadership. We are proud of these accomplishments, and will continue in the coming fiscal year to provide
the highest standard of service, and to successfully implement the City Council goals and objectives with
the available resources.
BUDGET GUIDANCE
This budget document is the product of several months of intensive effort involving all departments and staff
personnel. Preparing the budget for Fiscal Year 2007-08 has been a challenging task. The increase in fuel
cost, building materials, utilities, petroleum based products, prescription medications, and medical
procedures have significantly impacted our budget. In addition, the city will continue to monitor appraisal
caps and streamlined sales tax efforts as legislative changes in these areas could significantly impact major
revenue sources.
Our City maintains a strong property tax base; healthy reserves; innovative leadership; strong community
partners; healthy residential, commercial, and retail development; and excellent City services. Over the
past year, we have seen many promising development projects commence, including several new retailers
at the Shops at Vineyard Village.
- 2 -
The next fiscal year holds promise from a financial perspective. We are very optimistic about the future due
to the visionary leadership of our Mayor and City Council. We are confident that we will continue to provide
award winning programs and excellent services, as well as service enhancements with the resources we
have available. To ensure this task is complete, the City will enlist the help of our community partners
which consist of: citizens, businesses, volunteers, the county, DFW airport, our school districts, neighboring
cities, as well as our loyal and dedicated employees. There are many opportunities on the horizon. By
working with our community partners, we can take advantage of these opportunities and continue to build a
vibrant community.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
In developing the budget for FY2008, the administrative staff was given the following short-term initiatives:
1) continue all existing services; 2) maintain a competitive employee compensation package; 3) preserve
appropriate reserve levels in accordance with the City’s fiscal policies as shown on pages 33-39; 4)
consider the impact of future needs on the City’s tax rate; and 5) provide for appropriate levels of staffing as
shown below.

The approved FY2007-08 budget was successful in meeting these objectives by providing for the following:
Continuation of all current programs or services for citizens.
Funding to continue the step pay plan for all non-exempt and public safety employees. This budget
provides a 5% average increase in salaries based on merit for exempt employees and a 5% movement in
the pay plan for non-exempt employees and public safety to retain a quality workforce.
Reserve levels which meet or exceed requirements established in the fiscal policy. Per these fiscal
policies, surpluses in excess of the minimum required reserve may be used, when needed, to cash flow
capital equipment purchases and capital improvement projects to limit debt issuance.
The property tax rate for fiscal year 2007-08 decreased from .4895¢ to .4700¢ per $100 of assessed
valuation. This was accomplished by increased valuation from new construction, holding departmental
expenditures, utilizing a portion of the short-term motor vehicle tax and limiting the issuance of debt.
Added 3 firefighter/paramedics, 3 police officers, a part-time utility billing clerk, converting 2 part-time
library positions to a full-time office technician, and provided additional funds for seasonal parks
maintenance staff.

The City has created and produced, under separate cover, a Capital Improvements Program to address
many of its long-term goals which include: systematically rehabilitating deteriorating infrastructure while
maintaining consistent debt levels, completing facility improvements as identified in a Facilities Master Plan;
completing park projects that have been identified by the Parks Master Plan and enhancing the City’s
image. This program is reviewed annually to reflect changing priorities. It provides a framework for
identifying future fiscal impact.
Through the use of the Capital Improvements Program, detailed projects are identified that will specifically
relate to achieving these goals. All identified projects are described and prioritized. Projects identified for
the FY2007-08 budget are matched with funding sources. Projects that will be addressed within the next
five years are considered in the preparation of the multi-year plan and potential funding sources are
identified.
The multi-year plan is also a useful tool that allows the City to evaluate the operating impact of future capital
projects. Projects that are intended to be funded through the issuance of debt also impact operating
budgets and are planned accordingly. The FY2007-08 budget includes a variety of capital improvement
projects, as detailed in the capital section of this document on pages 234-274 and in the Capital
Improvements Plan under separate cover. These projects will be funded through operating transfers or
excess reserves eliminating the need for debt financing.
The FY2007-08 budget addresses the goal of repairing and replacing deteriorating infrastructure by
allocating $300,000 to continue the annual street maintenance program and $100,000 for sidewalk
improvements. This budget also includes funding for significant overlay projects, which are detailed in the
Capital Improvements Section of this letter.
The city continues to commit at least one million dollars annually from the water and sewer operating fund
to cash flow infrastructure improvements to ensure our water and sewer infrastructure remains sound.
Funding has also been allocated for drainage improvements at Rockwall-Lamar in order to contain the flow
within the city’s drainage system.
The current year capital budget also includes funding for land acquisition and design of a new senior citizen
center, expansion of the Texas Star Conference Centre, improvements to Midway Recreation Center,
expansion of the library and redevelopment projects throughout the city.
GENERAL FUND
REVENUES
The General Fund resources are proposed at $33,293,039, which includes $29,626,955 in revenues and
$3,666,084 of budgeted fund balance drawdown. The City’s fiscal policy requires the general fund to
maintain a reserve level equal to a minimum of 30 to 60 days of budgeted expenditures. In order to
decrease debt issuance, the city has chosen to cash flow capital expenditures from excess reserves when
available. As shown on page 42, the recommended reserve level for FY2007-08 is $4,866,559. The
estimated beginning fund balance is $8,825,244, leaving $3,958,685, to fund the budgeted drawdown
mentioned above. Proposed revenue for FY2007-08 assumes overall growth of 4.8% over current year
estimates. Revenues were projected based on known economic development, economic forecasting and
utilization of trending techniques based on the City's revenue manual (under separate cover). This
methodology has proven to be successful for our City.

Funding of the City’s General Fund operations is derived from six (6) major revenue categories which
include property taxes, sales taxes, gross receipts taxes, licenses and permits, fines and fees, and
intergovernmental transfers. Each of these revenue sources is detailed below with a brief description of
how internal and external factors affect each revenue amount.
General Property Taxes
One of the largest revenue sources of the General Fund is the ad valorem tax (property tax). Property
taxes are levied each October 1 on the assessed value as of the prior January 1 for all real and personal
property located in the City. Assessed value represents the appraised value less applicable exemptions
authorized by the City Council. Appraised values are established by the Tarrant County Appraisal District at
100% of estimated market value. Taxes are due October 1 and are delinquent after January 31. Penalty
and interest are charged at 7% on delinquent taxes beginning February 1, and increase each month to 18%
on July 1. After July 1, additional interest accrues at a rate of 1% each month.
Certified property valuations including minimum value of property under protest provided to the City by the
Tarrant County Appraisal District totaled $2,597,021,301 for 2007, an increase of $161,249,454 (6.62%)
over the 2006 tax roll of $2,435,771,847. The certified roll reflects all taxable property in the City as of
January 1, 2007. The City’s adopted tax rate is .4700¢ per $100 of assessed valuation, a decrease of
nearly two cents.
General property tax revenues are expected to generate $8,886,954 (including delinquent taxes and related
penalties) and account for 30% of all general fund revenue.
A ten-year graph of the City’s tax rate is presented in the following graph. As shown, the city has
maintained a stable tax rate for the past several years due to increasing valuations and development
activity. The graph is broken down by the operating and maintenance (O&M) portion and the interest and
sinking (I&S) portion of the tax rate.

City Sales Taxes
Sales tax receipts are projected to increase by 11% over FY2007 estimates. This increase is based on
historical trends, projected revenue from new retail development along highway 121, and projected
expansion of existing businesses. The city’s economic development department continues to seek
development opportunities to further diversify the sales tax base.
Sales tax receipts are the result of a tax levy on the sale of goods and services within the City as authorized
by the State of Texas. The maximum sales tax allowed in the City of Euless is eight and one-quarter cents
per dollar of which the city receives a total of two cents per dollar on all goods and services deemed
taxable.
Sales tax collections represent the largest revenue source in the General Fund, accounting for 33% of total
revenues. The one-cent general fund sales tax is expected to generate $7,695,003 in FY2007-08 and the
¼ cent additional sales tax for property tax relief is expected to generate $1,923,750. In addition, the
citizens of Euless voted to designate a ¼ cent sales tax for the Crime Control and Prevention District
(CCPD) and a ½ cent sales tax for Economic Development (EDC). This revenue is reported in Special
Revenue Funds.

Gross Receipt Tax/Franchise Tax
Gross Receipt/Franchise Taxes are broad-based benefit taxes charged to utility companies for the privilege
of using right of way within the City. The City Council authorized a 4% charge on gas receipts, and a 5%
charge on garbage, recycling, water and sewer, and cable receipts. Electric utilities pay a fee based on the
kilowatt hours provided to customers within the City of Euless. Telecommunications companies also make
payments, which are based on a per line access fee. Total gross receipt/franchise taxes are estimated at
$3,565,241, which represents 12% of the general fund revenue.
- 6 -
Licenses, Permits & Fees
Licenses, permits, and fees represent 3% of general fund revenues and include charges by the City for
certain types of operator licenses and permits for construction and other items regulated by City ordinance.
Building activity dropped slightly during FY2006-07, but is projected to remain relatively stable during the
upcoming fiscal year. However, the timing of the development along the west side of the 121 corridor could
result in a significant increase.
Fines and Fees
Fines and fees represent 13% of the general fund revenues and include revenue generated from municipal
court cases, ambulance fees, jail revenue and library fees. Fines and fees are projected to drop slightly
from current year estimates as municipal court case volume decreased during FY2006-07.
Intergovernmental Transfers
Intergovernmental transfers represent 5% of general fund revenues which includes general and
administrative transfers from the water and sewer fund, the drainage fund and the short-term motor vehicle
fund.
EXPENDITURES
General fund expenditures are projected at $33,270,986, which is an increase of $4,527,444, or 16% over
prior year estimates. This increase is primarily attributed a 5% salary package for employees and increased
baseline contributions to the city’s health insurance fund (4.8%), economic development incentive rebates
(2.7%), and capital improvement projects and equipment (7.8%). The proposed budget includes the use of
excess reserves in the amount of $3,666,084 to cash flow these capital improvement projects and
equipment needs.

The City’s fiscal policy, which was adopted in May 1994 states that current expenditures will be paid from
current revenues. The minimum fund balance as provided for in the fiscal policies is 30 to 60 days of
budgeted general fund expenditures and never less than 8.3%. The City of Euless maintains a 60 day
reserve. A fund balance summary has been provided on page 42 that verifies that the City has complied
with this policy and reflects the amount of excess reserves that are available to fund capital and one-time
needs.
WATER & SEWER FUND
REVENUES
The Water and Sewer fund experienced a decrease in revenue in FY2006-07 due to the excessive rainfall
during the year and the Council’s decision to absorb additional cost from Trinity River Authority rather than
pass these cost on to the consumer. Water and sewer volume is expected to grow at a rate of 2% in
FY2007-08 based on three year average consumption. Budgeted revenues are based on a water rate
increase of 17¢ and a wastewater rate increase of 21¢ due to a pass-through of increase costs from Trinity
River Authority.
This budget includes proposed resources of $16,928,214, which includes $16,560,114 of revenues and
$368,100 of budgeted drawdown from excess reserves. The City’s fiscal policy requires the Water and
Sewer fund to maintain a minimum of 45 to 75 days working capital. The City of Euless currently maintains
a 75 day reserve. As mentioned, the city has chosen to cash flow capital expenditures from excess
reserve levels when available. As shown on page 44, the recommended reserve level for the water and
sewer fund is $3,355,794. The estimated beginning working capital for FY2007-08 is $3,842,622, leaving
$486,828 to fund the budgeted drawdown mentioned above. In addition to water and sewer charges, this
fund derives its revenues from sanitation service, recycling, reconnection fees, inspection fees, transfer
fees, late payment penalties, and interest earnings. Actual revenue in this enterprise varies seasonally and
can vary substantially based on weather conditions.

EXPENDITURES
Water and sewer expenditures are projected at $16,699,630. This budget meets the criteria set forth in the
City’s fiscal policies with reserves calculated at the maximum requirement of 75 days of working capital.
Budgeted expenditures in the water and sewer fund provide for the production and distribution of water,
transmission and treatment of wastewater, recycling, and utility billing. The FY2007-08 budget also
includes a transfer of $1,158,000 from the operating fund to the capital projects fund for recommended
capital improvements. This includes funding for several water and sewer line replacements, participation in
the FY2008 CDBG project, and continuation of a water meter/transponder change out program.
Water and Sewer Reserve Requirements
Water and sewer revenue bond covenants require the City to have on hand reserve amounts sufficient to
cover the cost of the average annual debt service requirement. This reserve is in addition to the working
capital required by the fiscal policies and is maintained in a separate fund. For the FY2007-08 budget year,
the required reserve is $370,871. No additional transfer will be required in FY2007-08 to maintain the
required reserve level.
Water and Sewer Capital Projects
The Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund includes several infrastructure projects including water and
wastewater line replacements, continued participation in the CDBG program and continuation of a
meter/transponder change out program. Additional information is provided in the Capital Improvement
Program section of the budget on pages 234-274.
OTHER FUNDS
Health Insurance and Benefits Fund
The City provides employee medical insurance coverage on a self-insured basis. The City contributes 75%
of the total expenses of this fund, with the other 25% coming from employees and retirees premiums.
These resources are available to pay claims, administration costs and fund reserves. The excess coverage
insurance policy for FY 2007-08 requires a specific deductible of $100,000 per person plus an aggregated
specific deductible of $98,000 and covers aggregate claims in excess of $3,760,723. The excess policy also
allows higher specific deductibles for certain individuals as deemed necessary.
Fleet Replacement Fund
The City established a Fleet Replacement program to accumulate funds for the replacement of existing
equipment. Funding is provided annually by the other user departments based on a specified depreciation
rate. This budget has been approved in accordance with the replacement schedule.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Hotel/Motel Fund
The Hotel/Motel Fund was established to account for a 7% hotel/motel occupancy tax allowed by the State
of Texas. This tax is levied on the rental rate for a hotel/motel room. Funds generated by this occupancy
tax must be expended for items that qualify in accordance with state law such as the promotion of tourism.
This revenue source provides funding for the Texas Star Conference Centre and historical preservation.
- 9 -
Half-Cent Sales Tax Fund
Euless citizens approved an additional ½ cent sales tax in 1993 that is restricted for economic development,
park and library projects. To date, this funding has allowed the City to construct and enhance a new public
library, fund an athletic complex and enhance several existing parks. The FY2007-08 budget includes
funding for continuation of the public art program, funding for library personnel and materials, funding for
park maintenance and incentives to encourage economic development.
Police Drug Enforcement Fund
This fund was established to account for the proceeds from sale of assets seized in connection with drug
arrests. These revenues are used exclusively for police department expenditures and have allowed the City
to upgrade police radio systems, provide protection gear for officers, purchase additional police vehicles,
and purchase a state of the art security system for the new police facility.
Crime Control and Prevention District Fund
The Crime Control and Prevention District fund is used to account for an additional ¼ cent voter-approved
sales tax. State law restricts the use of these funds to crime control and prevention activities. This revenue
source provides for 19 sworn positions including an Assistant Police Chief and 18 police officers. The
FY2007-08 budget includes additional funding for part-time public service officers, replacement of portable
radios, a rescue phone negotiation system, new weapons, and public safety equipment.
Short-Term Motor Vehicle Tax Fund
The citizens of Euless passed the short-term motor vehicle tax in November 1999. The tax generates
approximately $4.3 million annually for the City of Euless. The majority of this tax is generated from the
Consolidated Rental Car Facility located at the DFW Airport. These funds will be used for property tax
stabilization, debt reduction, infrastructure improvements, and special projects such as City revitalization
efforts, park projects etc.
The FY2007-08 budget includes a transfer to the general fund of $730,020 to assist in property tax rate
reduction. This budget also includes funding for the expansion of the Texas Star Conference Centre,
economic development incentives, and design of drainage improvements along Hurricane Creek, including
the bridge at Marlene Drive. By using this revenue source, the city will be able to cash flow these projects
and eliminate the need for debt issuance.
OTHER ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Programs & Special Events Fund and Arbor Daze Fund
The Programs and Special Events fund provides outstanding community activities for our citizens. The
activities range from youth programs to senior citizen programs. The Arbor Daze fund is used to account
for the revenues and expenses of our national award winning Arbor Daze celebration. The Arbor Daze
festival returned in FY2007 and featured business booths, arts and crafts booths, the Arbor Daze Kidz
Zone, and the tree give-a-way program, which is the highlight of the event. These service areas contribute
to increased citizen involvement and volunteerism through the volunteer program the City initiated many
years ago.
- 10 -
Drainage Utility Fund
This fund was established to account for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of a municipal
drainage utility. User fees collected on a monthly basis from residential and commercial customers support
this fund. The FY 2007-08 residential rate of $2.50 remains competitive and unchanged from the prior year.
This revenue source has allowed the City to fund smaller capital improvement projects without the need for
debt issuance. Resources from this fund are also used to pay the debt service on a revenue bond issue for
a larger capital improvement project that was previously completed.
Softball World
Softball World at Texas Star has been a valuable addition to the City's recreational program and facilities.
This softball complex hosted many state and national tournaments and coordinated seven sessions of
league play. The FY2007-08 budget includes proposed resources of $1,046,604 and proposed
expenditures of $1,046,072.
Golf Course at Texas Star
The Golf Course at Texas Star, just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, and has been recognized by
leading golf publications. Golf Digest rated the course in the 2007 “Places to Play” with 4 ½ stars, and Avid
Golfer ranked the course one of the top five public courses in the Metroplex. Raven’s Grille and the
Conference Centre continue to receive rave reviews. The Conference Centre hosts business conferences,
weddings, concerts and other events. The FY2007-08 budget includes proposed revenues of $3,884,900
and proposed expenditures of $3,809,284.
This fund has not yet been able to achieve the recommended reserve levels of 75 days working capital and
a debt service reserve equal to the average annual debt payment. While the multi-year plan indicates that
this fund will continue to be self-supporting, the fund will likely continue to operate without the
recommended reserves.
While we are pleased that Texas Star has seen a significant improvement in operations during the current
year, increases in fuel, utility costs, and the saturation of the golf market continue to present challenges for
this operation.
The Athletic Complex Fund
The Athletic Complex at the Parks at Texas Star began operational activities in December 1997. The Parks
at Texas Star hosted many tournaments during FY2007, including the Super Series for ages 14 and up, and
the World Series for ages 8 and up. In FY2007, this facility registered over 600 teams for both league and
tournament play. Locally, the park facility is utilized by youth associations for league play in baseball,
softball, and soccer.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS
The FY2007-08 Capital Improvement budget includes revenues (including intergovernmental transfers) of
$13,301,644 and expenditures of $19,931,446. The budget cycle of the capital project funds is different
from the budget cycle of operating funds. The most significant difference is the method of financing.
Capital projects are often financed through the use of nonrecurring sources, specifically, bond proceeds
and the use of excess reserves. Therefore, the money is receipted in one fiscal year and the payment of
the project often extends over several fiscal years. As in the past, excess operational revenues will have a
- 11 -
priority to fund capital projects in order to reduce interest expense related to bond issues. Additional
funding for future projects will include the consideration of grant availability, self-sufficiency of revenue type
bonds and debt capacity of the general fund.
The FY2007-08 budget includes funding for an overlay project on North Main Street, drainage
improvements at Rockwall-Lamar, land acquisition and design of a new senior citizen center, expansion of
the Texas Star Conference Centre, expansion of the city library, improvements at Midway Recreation
Center and several water and wastewater line replacements. These projects and the operational impact
are discussed in detail in the Capital Improvements Program section on pages 234-274.
GENERAL DISCUSSION OF LONG-TERM DEBT POLICIES/OBJECTIVES
The City Council and citizens of Euless have determined that debt issuance is a viable method of financing
major capital projects. Per the fiscal policies, long-term debt will not be used for operating purposes and
the life of the bonds will not exceed the useful life of the projects financed. The City has also specified that
bonds will be issued with an average life of 20 years or less to reduce net interest cost and maintain future
flexibility by paying off debt earlier.
The majority of the City’s long-term debt was used to finance infrastructure needs and traditional
government services such as fire stations, libraries, and park development.
The following discussion highlights the City’s legal restrictions and requirements relating to debt issuance,
types of debt issuance and the impact of the capital improvement program on City operations and debt
service amounts.
Authorization to Issue Debt/Legal Debt Margin
As set forth in the Constitution of the State of Texas, cities with a population of 5,000 or more inhabitants
may, by majority vote of the qualified voters adopt or amend charters to become “home rule cities”. Euless,
being a home rule city, has adopted a Charter. The Charter provides in Article VIII, Section 4 that:
“It shall be the duty of the Council to levy an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on and
provide the necessary sinking fund required by law on all outstanding general obligation
bonds of the City.”
In accordance with the State of Texas Constitution, the City of Euless has not exceeded the legal debt limit
as calculated below:
Taxable Assessed Valuation $2,597,021,301
Constitutional Limit 2.5% of assessed valuation
Maximum Constitutional Revenue Available $64,925,532
Maximum Tax Rate $2.50 per $100 assessed valuation
Adopted Tax Rate $0.47 per $100 of valuation
Available Unused Constitutional
Maximum Tax Rate $2.03
- 12 -
Types of Debt Outstanding
The City has issued various types of long-term debt for the acquisition and construction of major capital
facilities and equipment. Details on all outstanding debt issues can be found on pages 275-304, a brief
explanation of the various funding sources is provided below:
General Obligation Bonds – are issued pursuant to voter authorization for infrastructure and facility
projects accounted for in the Capital Projects Fund. The City has no plans to issue any General Obligation
Bonds in the upcoming fiscal year.
Certificates of Obligation – are similar to General Obligation bond debt in its usage but do not
require voter authorization and is not used for refunding debt. The Council has expressed a desire to use
this type of funding when opportunities exist to participate in joint-funding projects with the Texas
Department of Transportation or other agencies. The City has no plans to issue Certificates of Obligation in
FY2007-08.
Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds – are issued to provide funds for certain improvements to the
water and sewer system as well as to refund prior water and sewer debt issues. These bonds are reported
in the Water and Sewer Fund and will be repaid from revenues of this enterprise fund. The City has no
plans to issue water and sewer revenue bonds in FY2007-08.
Sales Tax Revenue Bonds – are used to finance library, park and economic development projects.
The City does not intend to issue any additional sales tax revenue bonds in FY2007-08.
Drainage Utility Revenue Bonds – are issued to provide funds for certain improvements to the storm
sewer system. These bonds are reported in the Drainage Fund and will be repaid from revenues of this
enterprise fund. The City has no plans to issue drainage revenue bonds in FY2007-08.
Impact of Capital Improvement Program
The City recognizes that debt issuance for capital projects will have an impact on future operating budgets.
However, as mentioned above, the city has no plans to issue additional bonds during the FY2007-08 fiscal
year.
Although the reconstruction of roads and water lines will reduce maintenance costs, these funds will be
redirected for maintenance to other areas of the city. Therefore, the net affect to operations and
maintenance cost is expected to be minimal. However, there are many positive impacts to our citizens,
including improved driving conditions and improved water and wastewater flow due to line replacements.
New facilities and renovations of existing facilities are expected to have some impact on operations,
specifically in utility, maintenance and janitorial costs. Further detail on the operational impact is provided in
the Capital Improvements Program.
ECONOMIC CONDITION
The City of Euless is located in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex and adjacent to the
DFW International Airport. Thus, the economic vitality of the region significantly impacts the economic
health of Euless. DFW is the world’s third-busiest airport offering nearly 1,800 flights per day and serving
57 million passengers a year. Tarrant County is one of the fastest growing counties in Texas, and
Northeast Tarrant County leads the way.
- 13 -
DFW is the largest metropolitan area in Texas and has sustained tremendous growth during the past
decade. DFW International Airport provides in excess of 200,000 jobs and $11 billion to the regional
economy. DFW has a highly-diversified economy with more than 128,000 business and 1,500 regional and
corporate headquarters. (U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns)
The Alliance development in North Fort Worth which includes an industrial airport has attracted over 130
companies and created over 20,000 jobs for the area. This area has plenty of land available for
development and is expected to continue to bring significant investment to the region.
The Euless housing market for both residential and multi-family remained at near record levels in FY2007.
Property values have continued to grow at above average rates. Taxable value for all residential and
commercial property in the City of Euless is estimated at approximately $2.6 billion for tax year 2007, which
is a 6.62% increase over the prior year, due primarily to new construction and commercial property. Sales
tax collections continued to improve during FY2007 with significant development still in process that will
continue to improve our retail shopping opportunities.
The City also receives a significant amount of revenue from a consolidated rental car facility at DFW airport.
The City Council has chosen to use this funding source to build reserves and to cash flow capital projects in
lieu of debt issuance. This has allowed the City to refrain from becoming overly dependent on a volatile
resource while providing for needed improvements for our Citizens.
The City of Euless has approximately 1213 acres of undeveloped land outside of DFW airport and another
600-900 developable acres within DFW airport. Euless is actively working with a developer on a major
commercial tract within the City. This development will add approximately 1,200,000 square feet of
commercial/retail development to Euless.
Euless is pleased that State Highway 360, which lies of the eastern border of the City is complete. This
provides greater access for undeveloped areas along this highway. Also, the construction of the new Dallas
Cowboys stadium in Tarrant County, with close proximity to Euless, is expected to bring additional tourism
to our City.
The City of Euless continues to seek new development and redevelopment opportunities. During the past
few years, Euless has realized new commercial, industrial, residential, and multi-family developments. The
City of Euless continues to focus on bringing quality sustainable development to the area.
IN SUMMARY....
I am very pleased with the direction and vision of Euless. We have worked hard to provide effective
government programs and services to our community in an efficient way. It is our hope that these
programs provide our community with an improved quality of life. Our goal, in the long run, is to continue to
provide high quality government services in an efficient and effective manner.

BUDGET PROCESS
DEFINITION AND AUTHORITY
The budget is a financial plan for a specific fiscal year that contains both the estimated revenues to
be received during the year and the proposed expenditures to be incurred to achieve stated
objectives. The City Charter established the City of Euless’ fiscal year as October 1 through
September 30. The City Charter further states:
The City Manager, prior to August first of each year, shall prepare and submit the budget,
covering the next fiscal year, to the City Council, which shall contain the following information. In
preparing the budget, each employee, officer, board, and department shall assist the city manager
by furnishing all necessary information.
(1) The city manager’s budget message shall outline the proposed financial policies for
the next fiscal year with explanations of any changes from previous years in
expenditures and any major changes of policy and a complete statement regarding
the financial condition of the City.
(2) An estimate of all revenue from taxes and other sources, including the present tax
structure rates and property evaluation for the ensuing year.
(3) A carefully itemized list of proposed expenses by office, department, agency,
employee, and project for the budget year, as compared to actual expenses of the
last ended fiscal year, and the present year to date.
(4) A description of all outstanding bond indebtedness, showing amount, purchaser,
date of issue, rate of interest, and maturity date, as well as any other indebtedness
which the City had incurred and which has not been paid.

during the next budget year and recommended provisions for financing.
(6) A list of capital projects which should be undertaken within the five (5) next
succeeding years.

- 28 -
BUDGET AMENDMENT
Department heads can amend the budget within their divisions as long as it does not effect total
appropriations. The City Manager can amend the budget within a particular fund as long as it does
not effect total appropriations. The City Council may amend the budget by a majority vote of the
full membership for emergency conditions which may arise which could not reasonably have been
foreseen in the normal process of planning the budget when the general welfare of the citizenry is
involved. These amendments must be by ordinance and attached to the original budget in
accordance with Article VII, Section 8 of the City Charter.
BUDGET PREPARATION
The budget preparation is coordinated through the City Manager’s Office and the Finance
Department. The budget process begins in late February or early March with a budget kickoff
meeting with all City department directors and managers. Each department and division receives
a budget preparation manual, forms and year to date budget information. Departments prepare a
summary including the following information about their activities:
Location and Hours of Operation
Mission/Programs/Services
Highlights/Accomplishments for the current fiscal year
Goals & Objectives for the upcoming fiscal year
Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends.
Current year estimates are carefully reviewed and known exceptions or cost increases are reported
along with justification. These variances are reviewed by the City Manager’s Office and City
Council for amendment as deemed necessary. The budget requests are submitted along with
justification for any increases. The City Manager’s office holds meetings with each director to
review each of their line items and discuss any changes. All capital and supplemental requests are
submitted separately and must include the following information:
Purpose/objective of this request
Changes/improvements from current operations
Alternative financing options
Estimated life of requested item
Impact or consequence of not funding this request
Equipment being replaced by this request
Cost of the item
Other associated cost
A work session is held to allow each department the opportunity to present their capital and
supplemental requests to the City Council. The City Manager’s Office consolidates all capital
requests and all supplemental requests, assigns a ranking based on funding available, and
submits its recommendation to the City Council for consideration.
In accordance with the fiscal policies, supplemental programs will only be funded from current
revenues. One-time revenue sources and excess reserves are used to fund capital requests.
The finance department prepares revenue estimates based on historical data available from the
revenue manual (which is updated monthly) and other available data. Estimates are reviewed and
adjusted by the City Manager’s office as deemed necessary. The objective of the City is to
estimate revenues as accurately as possible to allow use of all available funding.
- 29 -
The City Manager’s Office completes a final review of the budget and submits a preliminary budget
to the City Council. In accordance with Article VII, Section 2 of the City Charter, this document
must be submitted to City Council prior to August 1st.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
The City Council meets for a winter work-session and a budget work-session each year. During
these work-sessions, a strategic planning session is held for discussion of short, intermediate, and
long-term goals. These goals and the fiscal impact are considered during the budget process and
serves as a guide throughout the year for staff.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City’s long-term planning has been consolidated into a comprehensive five-year plan produced
by the City Manager’s office. This plan is updated every year and serves as the City’s “road map”
to which infrastructure, facility, and park projects will be done in the coming years. Each project
contains a fiscal impact analysis.
The comprehensive plan includes a five-year plan for streets including overlay and construction,
water and sewer line replacement, City facilities, park master plan, and fire equipment and building
plan. The information included in this document is an integral part of the budget process.
The Capital Improvements Program details all funded and unfunded projects that have been
identified to date and meets the requirements of the City Charter. Article VII, Section 2 (4) requires
“A statement proposing any capital expenditures deemed necessary for undertaking during the
next budget year and recommended provisions for financing”. Section 2 (5) further requires “ A list
of capital projects which should be undertaken within the five (5) next succeeding years”.
BUDGET ADOPTION
The City Charter provides:
After public hearing, the City Council makes any changes deemed necessary and adopts
the budget at least ten (10) days prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year by a favorable
majority vote of all members of the Council.
On August 14th, the City Council reviewed the preliminary budget and set a time and place for the

A. Purpose Statement – The City of Euless has an important responsibility to its citizens to carefully
account for public funds, to manage municipal finances wisely, and to plan for the adequate funding
of services desired by the public.
The overriding goal of the Fiscal Policies is to enable the City to achieve a long-term stable and
positive financial condition. The watchwords of the City’s fiscal management include integrity,
prudent stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure.
The purpose of the Fiscal Policies is to provide guidelines for the Director of Finance in planning and
directing the City’s day to day financial affairs and in developing recommendations to the City
Manager and City Council. The scope of the policies spans accounting, auditing, financial reporting,
internal controls, operating and capital budgeting, revenue management, cash management,
expenditure control, and debt management.
B. Annual Review of Policies – These policies will be reviewed administratively by the Finance Director
and City Manager and will be presented to the City Council for approval of any significant changes.
II. ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. Accounting – The Fiscal Administrator is the City’s Chief Accountant and is responsible for
establishing the chart of accounts and for properly recording financial transactions.
B. Accounts Receivable – This asset account reflects amounts owed to the City from citizens,
companies, or other governmental entities. All delinquent accounts will be pursued.
C. External Auditing
1. The City will be audited annually by outside independent accountants (auditors). The
auditors must be a CPA firm of national reputation and must demonstrate that they have the
breadth and depth of staff to conduct the City’s audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and contractual requirements. The auditor’s report on the City’s financial
statements will be completed within 100 days of the City’s fiscal year end, and the auditor’s
management letter will be presented to the City staff accordingly. An interim management
letter will be issued prior to this date if any materially significant internal control weaknesses
are discovered.
2. The Auditors are accountable to the City Council and will have access to direct
communication with the City Council if the City staff is unresponsive to auditor
recommendations or if the auditors consider such communication necessary to fulfill their
legal and professional responsibilities.
3. Auditor Rotation – The City will not require auditor rotation, but will circulate requests for
proposal for audit services at least every five years.
D. Internal Auditing – The City recognizes its growing need for an internal audit function and is seriously
evaluating the devotion of resources to this program in the future.
E. External Financial Reporting – The City will prepare and publish a comprehensive annual financial
report (CAFR). The CAFR will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and will be presented annually to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
for evaluation and awarding of the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
The CAFR will be published and presented to the City Council within 120 days after the end of the
fiscal year. City staffing limitations may preclude such timely reporting. In such case, the Finance
Director will inform the City Manager and the City Manager will inform the City Council of the delay
and the reasons therefore.
F. Internal Financial Reporting – The Finance Department will prepare internal financial reports
sufficient for management to plan, monitor, and control the City’s financial affairs. Internal financial
reporting objectives are addressed throughout the policies.
- 34 -
III. INTERNAL CONTROLS
A. Objective – To provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against
loss from unauthorized use or disposition. At all times the City of Euless shall maintain an
environment conducive to good internal controls.
B. Written Procedures – The Finance Director, through the Finance Administrator, is responsible for
developing Citywide written guidelines on accounting, cash handling, and other financial matters
which will be approved by the City Manager. The Finance Department will assist Department
Managers as needed in tailoring these guidelines into detailed written procedures to fit each
department’s specific requirements.
C. Department Managers Responsible – Each Department Manager is responsible to ensure that good
internal controls are followed throughout his or her department, that all Finance Department
guidelines on accounting and internal controls are implemented, and that all independent auditor
internal control recommendations are addressed.
IV. OPERATING BUDGET
A. Preparation – The City’s “operating budget” is the City’s annual financial operating plan. It comprises
governmental and proprietary funds, including the General Obligation Debt Service Fund. The
budget is prepared by the Finance Director or appointee with the cooperation of all City
Departments, and is submitted to the City Manager who makes any necessary changes and
transmits the document to the City Council. The operating budget will be submitted to the GFOA
annually for evaluation and awarding of the Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation.
B. Balanced Budget – The operating budget will be balanced, with current revenues, exclusive of
beginning resources, greater than or equal to current expenditures/expenses.
C. Adoption Process – Pursuant to City Charter Article VII Section 5, a budget will be presented by the
City Manager to the City Council, and to the public through the Euless Public Library, by August 1,
and after public hearings the City Council shall adopt, with any changes, at least ten days prior to
beginning of the new fiscal year by a majority vote.
D. Amendment Process – According to Section 8 of the same article, amendments may be made by
ordinance as necessary.
E. Planning – The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for the City
Council consideration several months prior to the budget approval date so that proper decision
analysis can be made. Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department
Managers to manage their budgets and to enable the Budget Office to monitor and control the
budget as authorized by the City Manager. Summary financial reports will be presented to the City
Council monthly by the third Friday after the end of each month. Such reports will enable the City
Council to understand the big picture budget status. Operating Expenditure Control is addressed in
another section of the Policies.
F. Performance Measures and Productivity Indicators – Where appropriate, performance measures and
productivity indicators will be developed and used as guidelines and reviewed for efficiency and
effectiveness. This information will be included in the annual budgeting process and reported to the
City Council at least annually.
V. CAPITAL BUDGET AND PROGRAM
A. Preparation – The City’s capital budget will include all capital project funds and all capital resources.
The budget will be prepared annually in conjunction with the operating budget. The capital budget
will be compiled by the Finance Director with the involvement of all required City departmental
project managers. Integration of the fiscal impact of capital improvements on the operating budget
will be monitored.
B. Definition – Facilities include any structures or properties owned by the City, the land upon which the
facility is situated for the provision of City services, and the initial furniture, fixtures, equipment and
apparatus necessary to put the facility in service. Facilities include, but are not limited to the
following: administrative offices, parks, service centers and storage yards, recreation centers,
libraries, fire stations, jails and courts, and water and sewer related structures.
- 35 -
C. Infrastructure – Includes permanently installed facilities, generally placed underground or at grade,
which form the basis for the provision of City services. Typically included are thoroughfares, bridges,
water and sanitary sewer lines, drainage channels, and storm sewers.
D. Control – All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. The Finance
Department must certify the availability of such appropriations or the availability of resources so an
appropriation can be made before a capital project contract is presented by the City Manager to the
City Council for approval.
E. Program Planning – The capital budget will include capital improvements program plans for future
years. The planning time frame should normally be at least five years. The replacement and
maintenance for capital items should be projected for the next five years. Future maintenance and
operations will be fully costed, so that these costs can be considered in the operating budget.
F. Alternate Resources – Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, pro-rata charges, or other user-
based fees should be used to fund capital projects which have a primary benefit to specified property
owners. Drainage Utility revenues are established to fund small Citywide drainage projects. Single
large drainage projects will be funded by debt.
G. Debt Financing – Recognizing that debt is usually a more expensive financing method, alternative
financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be used to
acquire major assets with expected lives which equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue.
The exceptions to this requirement are the traditional costs of marketing and issuing the debt,
capitalized labor for design and construction of capital projects, and small component parts which
are attached to major equipment purchases.
H. Infrastructure Maintenance – The City recognizes that deferred street maintenance increases future
capital costs by an estimated five- to ten-fold. Therefore, a portion of the General Fund budget will
be set aside each year to maintain the quality of streets. The amount will be established annually so
that repairs will be made amounting to a designated percentage of the value of the streets.
I. Reporting – Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department Managers to
manage their capital budgets and to enable the Finance Department to monitor and control the
capital budget as authorized by the City Manager.
VI. REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. Simplicity – The City will strive to keep the revenue system simple, which will result in a decrease of
compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient and a corresponding decrease in avoidance to
pay. The City will avoid nuisance taxes, fee, or charges as revenue sources.
B. Certainty – An understanding of the revenue source increases the reliability of the revenue system.
The City will try to understand its revenue sources, and enact consistent collection policies so that
assurances can be provided that the revenue base will materialize according to budgets and plans.
C. Equity – The revenue system of the City will strive to maintain an equity in its structure. That is, the
City will seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services,
utilities, and customers. However, it is recognized that public policy decisions may lead to subsidies
in certain circumstances, e.g., homestead tax exemption.
D. Administration – The benefits of a revenue will exceed the cost of producing the revenue. The cost
of collection will be reviewed annually for cost effectiveness as a part of the indirect cost, cost of
services analysis. Where appropriate, the City will use the administrative processes of State or
Federal collection agencies in order to reduce administrative costs.
E. Revenue Adequacy – The City will require that there be a balance in the revenue system. That is,
the revenue base will have the characteristic of fairness and neutrality as it applies to cost of service,
willingness to pay, and ability to pay.
F. Cost/Benefit of Abatement – The City will use due caution in the analysis of any tax, fee, or water
and wastewater incentives that are used to encourage development. Ideally, a cost/benefit (fiscal
impact) analysis will be performed as a part of such review.
G. Diversification and Stability – In order to protect the government from fluctuations in a revenue
source due to fluctuations in the economy, and variations in weather (in the case of water and
wastewater), a diversified revenue system will be maintained which has a stable source of income.
- 36 -
H. Nonrecurring Revenues – One-time revenues will not be used for ongoing operations. Nonrecurring
revenues will be used only for nonrecurring expenditures. Care will be taken not to use these
revenues for budget balancing purposes.
I. Property Tax Revenues –
1. Process. Property shall be assessed at 100% of the fair market value as appraised by
Tarrant Appraisal District. Reappraisal and reassessment shall be done regularly as
required by State law. A 97% collection rate will serve as a goal for tax collections, with a
delinquency rate of 3% or less. All delinquent taxes will be aggressively pursued, with
delinquents greater than 150 days being turned over to an attorney and a penalty assessed
to compensate the attorney as allowed by State law, and in accordance with the attorney’s
contract. Annual performance criteria will be developed for the attorney.
2. Reduce Reliance on Property Tax. The City will try to reduce reliance on property tax by
seeking additional revenue sources and attempting to expand and diversity the City tax
base.
J. Exemptions – In order to maintain stability of funds for the City, it is the Council’s intentions for the
exemptions presently allowed by the City to be continued with no allowance for additional
exemptions. Tax abatements should be used selectively and only when a good chance exists of
economic return exceeding the loss.
K. User-Based Fees – For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and indirect costs of
that service will be offset by a fee where possible. There will be an annual review of fees and
charges to ensure that fees provide adequate coverage of costs of services.
L. Property Tax Distribution – The percentage of the tax rate allocated to the General Fund is the
percent equal to the Maintenance Operations portion of the total tax rate. The allocation of the tax
rate for debt purposes is the percent equal to the Interest and Sinking portion of the total tax rate.
Debt service should not exceed 40% except for extraordinary and temporary reasons.
M. Proprietary – Proprietary funds will pay the General Fund for direct services rendered. Additionally,
the Water and Wastewater Fund will pay a franchise fee of 5% of gross receipts. This is to
compensate the General Fund for the lost revenue that would be payable from a privately owned
utility.
N. Franchise Agreements – The City will monitor the status of existing financial agreements and take
necessary actions to negotiate new agreements as they near expiration or as they need revisions to
best serve the citizens of Euless.
O. General and Administrative Charges – A method will be maintained whereby the General Fund may
impose a charge to the proprietary funds for general and administrative services (indirect costs)
performed on the enterprise funds’ behalf.
P. Utility Rates – The City will review and adopt utility rates that will generate revenues required to fully
cover operating expenditures, meet the legal restrictions of all applicable bond covenants, and
provide for an adequate level of working capital needs. This policy does not preclude drawing down
cash balance to finance current operations. However, it is best that any extra cash balance be used
instead to finance capital projects.
Q. Interest Income – Interest earned from investment of available moneys, whether pooled or not, will
be distributed to the funds in accordance with the operating and capital budgets which, wherever
possible, will be in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from which moneys were provided
to be invested.
R. Revenue Monitoring – Revenues actually received will be regularly compared to budgeted revenues
and variances will be investigated. This process will be summarized in the appropriate budget
report.
VII. EXPENDITURE CONTROL
A. Appropriations – The level of budgetary control is the department level in the General Fund and
Water and Sewer Fund, and the fund level in all other funds. When budget adjustments between
funds are necessary, these must be approved by the City Council. Budget appropriation
- 37 -
amendments at lower levels of control shall be made in accordance with the applicable
administrative procedures through the finance office.
B. Central Control – Significant salary and capital budgetary savings in any department will be centrally
controlled and may not be spent by the department without specific City Manager authorization.
C. Purchasing – All purchases shall be in accordance with the City’s purchasing policies. Purchases
and any contracts exceeding the limit established by state law will conform to a formal bidding
process as outlined. Recommendations on purchases and contracts that are subject to the bidding
process will be made to the City Council for their approval.
D. Prompt Payment – All invoices will be paid within 30 days of receipt in accordance with the prompt
payment requirements of State law. Procedures will be used to take advantage of all purchase
discounts where considered cost effective. However, payments will also be reasonably delayed in
order to maximize the City’s investable cash, where such delay does not violate the agreed upon
payment terms.
E. Equipment Financing – Equipment may be financed when the unit purchase price is $20,000 or more
and the useful life is at least four years with City Council approval.
VIII. ASSET MANAGEMENT
A. Investments – The City’s investment practices will be conducted in accordance with the City Council
approved Investment Policies. Utilized objectives: safety, liquidity, and yield.
B. Cash Management – The City’s cash flow will be managed to maximize the cash available to invest.
C. Investment Performance – At the end of each fiscal year a report on investment performance will be
provided by the Finance Director to the City Manager for presentation to the City Council.
D. Fixed Assets and Inventory – These assets will be reasonably safeguarded, property accounted for,
and prudently insured.
IX. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESERVES
A. No Operating Deficits – Current expenditures will be paid with current revenues. Deferrals, short-
term loans, or one-time sources will be avoided as budget balancing techniques. Reserves will be
used only for emergencies or nonrecurring expenditures, except when balances can be reduced
because their levels exceed guideline minimums.
B. Operating Reserves – The General Fund resources balance combined with the Emergency Reserve
Fund should be between 30 to 60 days in working capital and never fall to 8.3% of the General Fund
expenditures budget. This percentage is the equivalent of 30 days’ expenditures. The Enterprise
Fund working capital should be maintained at the 12% (45 to 75 days) level. An additional cash test
will be required for the Water and Wastewater Fund to ensure the City’s ability to operate, exclusive
of accounts receivable.
C. Risk Management Program – The City will aggressively pursue every opportunity to provide for the
public’s and City employees’ safety and to manage its risks. All reasonable options will be
investigated to finance losses. Such options may include risk transfer, insurance, and risk retention.
Where risk is retained, reserves will be established based on actuarial determinations. Such
reserves will not be used for any purpose other than for financing losses.
D. Compensated Absences – The City will establish a separate reserve within its operating funds to pay
for accrued vacation leave. Accrued vacation leave can normally be paid by allowing a vacated
position to remain open for several weeks. This reserve will be established based upon a schedule
of estimated retirements which will be developed in conjunction with the operating budget.
E. Equipment Replacement – The City shall maintain an Equipment Replacement Fund for major rolling
stock. Funds will be transferred based on a depreciated calculation of each piece of equipment.
F. Health Claims – The City shall maintain a fund for health claims for all employees. Adequate
reserves shall be maintained as determined actuarially. All reasonable cost containments will be
reviewed to keep the cost to the City and the employees minimal.
- 38 -
X. DEBT MANAGEMENT
A. Short-Term Debt – If utilized, tax anticipation notes (TAN’s) will be retired annually, and bond
anticipation notes (BAN’s) will be retired within six months of completion of the project. Any short-
term debt outstanding at year end will not exceed 5% (including TAN’s, but excluding BAN’s) of net
operating revenues.
B. Long-Term Debt – Long-Term debt will not be used for operating purposes, and the life of the bonds
will not exceed the useful life of the projects financed.
C. Self-Supporting Debt – When appropriate, self-supporting revenues will pay debt service in lieu of
tax revenues.
D. Rating – Full disclosure of operations will be made to the bond rating agencies. The City staff, with
the assistance of fiscal advisors or bond counsel, will prepare the necessary materials for and
presentation to the rating agencies.
E. Water and Wastewater Bond Coverage Ratios – The City has both revenue bonds and other
indebtedness of the Water and Wastewater Fund. The City will maintain two coverage ratios: 1.50
for revenue bonds “technical average” and 1.25 for all indebtedness “practical coverage”. The City
will issue new debt for an Enterprise only after an “additional bonds” test has been applied to the
issuance. This test determines that revenues are sufficient to defray the additional debt service
burden that will be created by the new issuance.
F. Federal Requirements – The City will maintain procedures to comply with arbitrage rebate and other
Federal requirements as necessary. In attempt to exempt the City from arbitrage rebate
requirements, the City will attempt to issue bonds in increments not to exceed $5,000,000 per
calendar year.
G. Debt Service Reserves – The Debt Service Fund should not have reserves or balances in excess of
one month of principal and interest plus 15% of the principal outstanding of unrefunded debt issued
prior to September 1, 1986. This maximum is dictated by Federal law and does not include the
amounts accrued for the next debt service payment.
The policy above does not preclude the debt service reserves normally established to market
revenue bonds. The City’s policy and bond ordinance requirement are to maintain these debt
service reserves at the level of the average annual debt service.
H. Debt Burden – The Debt Burden should be within the norm of comparable cities. Specifically,
maintenance of capacity not to exceed the median per capita and per assessed valuation will be
monitored.
I. Debt Structuring – The City will issue bonds with an average life of twenty (20) years or less in order
to reduce net interest cost and maintain future flexibility by paying off debt earlier. The issuance
should contribute to an overall curve that is relatively flat.
J. Competitive vs. Negotiated Bidding – The City will analyze on a per issue and market basis the
desire to utilize competitive versus negotiated sale of bonds. In either instance, the fiscal staff will
present to management and council advantages and disadvantages of the process.
K. Bidding Parameters – The notice of sale will be carefully constructed so as to ensure the best
possible bid for the City, in light of the existing market conditions and other prevailing factors.
Parameters to be examined include:
• Limits between lowest and highest coupons
• Coupon requirements relative to the yield curve
• Method of underwriter compensation, discount or premium coupons
• Use of True Interest Cost (TIC) vs. Net interest Cost (NIC)
• Use of bond insurance
• Deep discount bonds
• Variable rate bonds
• Call provisions
L. Bond Issuance Advisory Fees and Costs – The City will be actively involved in the selection of all
financial advisors, underwriters, paying agents, and bond counsel. The City shall evaluate the merits
of rotating professional advisors and consultants as well as the kinds of services and fee structures
- 39 -
available from independent financial advisors, investment banking firms, and commercial banks.
The City will carefully itemize and scrutinize all costs associated with the issuance of bonds.
XI. STAFFING AND TRAINING
A. Adequate Staffing – Staffing levels will be adequate for the fiscal functions of the City to function
effectively. Overtime shall be used only to address temporary or seasonal demands that require
excessive hours. Workload shedding alternatives as well as technology will be explored before
adding staff.
B. Training – The City will support the continuing education efforts of all financial staff including the
investment in time and materials for maintaining a current perspective concerning financial issues.
Staff will be held accountable for communicating, teaching, and sharing with other staff members all
information and training materials acquired from seminars, conferences, and related education
efforts.
C. Awards, Credentials – The City will support efforts and involvements which result in meeting
standards and receiving exemplary recitations on behalf of any of the City’s fiscal policies, practices,
processes, products, or personnel. Further, the Finance Director will try to obtain and/or maintain
designation of Certified Government Finance Officer as awarded by the GFOA of Texas.

Where Does The Money Come From?
By Fund
W&S revenues are generated by user fees from services supplied by the City. The Risk/WC and the Insurance fund are funded by
premiums collected from employees and charges to other funds. The General fund generates revenues through sales tax collections,
property tax collections, franchise fees, user fees, and fines. The Car rental fund is funded by a 5% fee charged on all short-term
motor vehicle rentals within the city. G.O Debt is funded from a percent of property tax collections. Many of the other funds are
supported by interfund charges and transfers including the W&S Debt, Equipment Replacement, and Fleet Services. Other funds that
are supported by user fees include the Drainage Utility, Recreation Classes, Arbor Daze, Golf, Softball, and Athletic Complex funds.
Tax supported other funds include the Hotel/Motel Fund supported by occupancy taxes, 1/2¢ sales tax fund supported by the 4B
economic development sales tax, and the CCPD fund supported by the 1/4¢ special purpose district sales tax. The DEA fund is
supported by proceeds received from the sale of assets seized in connection with drug arrests.

Car RentalTax
Revenue derived from a 5% tax imposed on the short-term rental of self-propelled motor vehicles including
passenger cars, vans, SUV's, and light trucks. This tax was approved by voters and became effective February
1, 2000.
Grant reimbursements from intragovernmental revenue sources including School Patrol Unit, Auto Theft Task
Force, Traffic Safety, Victims Assistance, and DEA.
Based on percentage of gross sales from various City funds (5% from enterprise funds and 2.5% from internal
service funds).
Revenue derived from customers/citizens receiving benefits of water and wastewater services via user charges
designed to fully recover costs.
Revenues derived from an additional 1/2¢ sales tax approved by voters in 1993. State law allows this fund to be
used only for economic development, parks, and libraries.
Franchise fees are broad-based benefit taxes charged for the privilege of using right-of-way within the City of
Euless. These fees are based on negotiable contractual agreements between the utility companies and the City
and average about 5% of gross receipts.
These revenues consist of fines and fees collected from citations issued and jail arrests made by the City of
Euless and D/FW Airport on a daily basis.
Permits are charges collected by the City for business licenses and permits for general construction.
Interest earnings from City investments based on monthly estimated invested balances earning current and
realizable market rate.
All amounts of money received by a government from external sources other than expense refunds, capital contributions, and
residual equity transfers.
Based on assessed value of real and personal property, collected from property owners within the City of Euless.
This tax is used to fund public services such as police and fire protection, parks and maintenance of streets,
curbs, and sidewalks. The levy set for FY07 is 48.95¢ per $100 of valuation.
Sales Taxes are levied on a broad range of goods and services at the point of sale as a percentage of
transaction price. Sales tax has continued to climb for the past several years. The current sales tax rate for the
City is 8.25% with a portion of the proceeds going to the state.
An additional 1/4¢ sales tax was approved by Euless citizens in May 1996. The purpose of this additional sales
tax is to lower the ad valorem property tax rate while still providing services desired by the citizens. Projections
are based on 25% of projected general fund sales tax revenues.

FY08 proposed revenues is a good example of this diversity since there will be less reliance on property taxes due
to the 1/4¢ additional sales tax to lower property taxes. Through the years the trend shows property tax to be the
largest source of revenues averaging 29.45% of the total. The sales tax trend is the second highest source on
average at 28.53% and fines third at 14.60%. Franchise Fees make up approximately 13.92% of total revenues
with other sources varying from 1% to 9%.
*Note: The above graph shows total revenue for the General Fund. It does not include the use of excess reserves
from prior fiscal years.
The graph and chart above depicts the five year trend for revenues which support services and operations
accounted for in the General fund. While indicating which revenue sources have experienced an increase or
decrease, the chart indicates what percentage of the total revenue stream a source constitutes. The trend indicates
that these sources continue to diversify the revenue stream, therefore making the General fund less dependent on
one revenue source.

Gross receipts taxes are collected from public utilities for the privilege of providing services within the City's limits.
Fees are levied by local governments and passed through to consumers of the utilities in the form of service prices.
Gross receipts taxes are 3.7% less than prior year. This is mainly due to slightly lower Atmos Energy and W&S
franchise fees.

Mission / Programs / Services
To provide timely and competent computer services to the various City departments. To remain informed on
computer related topics and apply that knowledge to work flow analysis to create more efficient processes with the
city organization.
Provide in-house support for both software and hardware, and to assist other departments in systems selection,
implementation, and operation.
FY2007 Highlights & Accomplishments:
Assisted the Water Department in implementing a new ‘Lock Box’ program which greatly increases that
departments staff efficiency in processing incoming water bills on a daily basis.
Implemented the ‘Online Bill Pay’ for utility bills, allowing our citizens to pay their water bills online with a credit
card. We are working on a similar program to allow citizens the ability to pay Court citations online as well.
Developed a program in-house that will allow the Public Works Department to track water, sewer, and street
maintenance and repairs more efficiently and create reports of the work completed.
Began implementing a new strategy to better protect our employee’s computer data stored on their local PCs. We
back up our network servers on a regular basis, but have never had the capability to do so with PCs.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
Complete the Internet upgrades planned for the fiscal year, including the addition of wireless Internet in the Library
for the public.
Continue with our very successful computer equipment replacement programs. By maintaining an inventory of
equipment, generally with no more than 5 years of service, we are able to provide adequate and reliable computer
resources for our employees.
Major Budgetary Issues & Operational Trends:
The HTE software program, which we use to manage Finance, Water, Courts, Purchasing, Human Resources,
and Planning/Development, is in need of an upgrade. We are currently using a ‘green screen’ version of the
software which has served us well for many years. Our annual maintenance fee covers support for, and version
releases to, the software. HTE is moving their development dollars to more current technology, namely Web
based applications. They are limiting new development and updates to the green screen version to get their
customers to install the latest/greatest software. We have requested the upgrade this fiscal year as a priority 2,
but will definitely need to purchase the upgrade no later than the FY 2009 budget.

this Division are subject to recall and frequently work hours outside of the normal business hours of operations in
order to conduct fire investigations, special inspections and to perform public education duties.
Mission / Programs / Services:
The mission of the Euless Fire Marshal’s Office is to maintain fire prevention, fire inspection, and investigation and
fire education programs. These programs are designed to protect and enhance the quality of life in Euless through a
comprehensive program of services directed towards the preservation of life and property from the threat of fire or
explosions, or related hazards by advocating, promoting and providing leadership in the prevention or mitigation of
fires, explosions, fire related criminal activity or other conditions hazardous to life or property.
The goal of the Fire Marshal’s office is to protect the citizens of our community, protect our infrastructure, and protect
our employees by reducing the threat of potential fires and safety hazards in the community. The Division maintains
a comprehensive fire inspection and permit program designed to identify and abate fire hazards that would place any
member of the community at risk of loss. The Division determines cause and origin of fires or explosions and
conducts the latent investigation when criminal activity has been detected or suspected. The Fire Marshal’s office
investigates fires that are the result of criminal activity and develops the case from incident to prosecution.
Investigators assigned to this Division also participate with other member cities to provide an arson task force within
Tarrant County. The Division also develops and provides the community with educational and training opportunities
through a broad spectrum of fire safety education materials and programs.

• Job descriptions were developed for the Inspector I and II positions
FY2007-2008 Goals & Objectives:
• To fully reinstate the public education functions in the department and increase the clown troop personnel.
• Continue the training of the new inspector, including his completion of the fire academy if funded.
• Phase I of the Hydra Storz installation on hydrants will be completed if funded.
• Tree Ordinance will be fully implemented to reduce the problems associated with low tree limbs if funded.
Major Budgetary Issues & Operational Trends:
• Some adjustments are requested in this budget to meet the increases of personnel added.
• Construction related projects continue to provide a significant demand on our personnel. This trend is expected
to continue to accelerate during the 07-08 budget year with the biggest demands along the 121 corridor.
• With the Public Education position being refilled, it is our desire to increase our presence in the community. With
increased activity in this position comes an increased need for support materials as reflected in the budget.
• A pending Legislative change that may remove the exempt status of the Fire Marshal may result in the need for
creative scheduling to minimize the impact on the personnel budget.
• Several projects are underway that are reflected in budget documents. These include the tree trimming project,
designed to mitigate violations of the tree ordinance, a program to install hydra-storz adaptors on fire hydrants
around the city and a repeat request to provide a trailer for the clown safety troop.
• Adequate funds for required training continue to be a challenge. It is our desire to send Ken Rawlinson to the fire
academy. The completion of this training is a very important part of being effective as a fire inspector.

Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
Irrigation maintenance continues to be a burden for both manpower and expenses. In FY 2007, 1643.8 hours were
spent on irrigation modification and repairs, requiring additional expenditures from an already restricted operating
budget. Grounds maintenance, particularly athletic field maintenance, has increased due to the success of the
Parks at Texas Star Baseball League and having to use both Midway Park and the Parks at Texas Star to satisfy
the demand for game fields. Additionally, park fixtures and amenities have increased substantially resulting in an
increase in general park maintenance in the areas of trash, repairs to picnic stations, park signage, trail
maintenance, water fountain repairs and general up-keep.

Mission / Programs / Services:
Management has initiated programs to define the costs in this budget that may not be specifically identifiable to
any operational budget.
The activity is administered by the Finance Department and funds various charges that are not defined or directly
related to any specific department or activity of the City. Examples of costs here include: electrical, general
liability insurance, audit, and contingencies. These types of expenditures affect all budgets and are generally not
prorated.
All one-time appropriations are accounted for in this department in order to maintain stable department budgets
from year to year.
FY2007 Highlights & Accomplishments:
Provided funding for the continuation of infrastructure maintenance which includes the street overlay and
sidewalk programs.
Provided funding for the continuation of the computer hardware/software replacement program.
Provided funding for the continuation of the energy conservation program, which was implemented
several years back to maximize savings through increased awareness.
Provided funding for a street lighting program and traffic signal replacement program which will enhance
the safety and livability of our City.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
Provide funding for infrastructure improvements.
Provide funding for computer and equipment replacements in order to maximize productivity.
Provide funding for energy conservation measures which ultimately results in better savings on the cities
utilities.
Major Budgetary Issues & Operational Trends:
In order to recruit and retain a solid workforce, the City will continually review and revise the current employee pay
plan to remain competitive in the current market.
As many industries have seen in the last few years, the cost of maintaining an employee and retiree health plan
has skyrocketed. Therefore, the city continues to look for ways to control costs while maintaining a good quality
health plan for both the current employees and the retirees.

Mission / Programs / Services:
This office strives to provide all customers with the best service possible for prompt administration of their utility
accounts. We will perform our duties in such a way as to protect the assets of the city and its citizens. We will
continue to seek ways to raise the level and quality of customer service provided by this office through continuous
training. The services we provide include, but are not limited to: establishing new accounts; updating existing
accounts; reading meters; billing; handling customer inquiries; initiating work orders; processing delinquent
accounts; receipting, posting, and depositing customer payments; receipting and posting the financial activity for
other city departments.
FY2007 Highlights & Accomplishments:
• Moved into renovated offices and through the process of the move, updated filing system.
• Focused on delinquent accounts – especially commercial accounts – to ensure that appropriate deposits are
held to cover the average bill.
• A Lock Box payment posting system was installed. This system allows us to post payments more promptly
and with greater accuracy. Electronic storage gives the ability to view check and payment stub simultaneously.
• Online Bill Pay was implemented giving customers the opportunity to securely pay their bills by computer.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
• Emphasis will be placed on Customer Service training as well as cross-training within the department.
• Quarterly Team Meetings are used to review and discuss operational procedures to ensure efficient
operations.
• Offer training to all employees for areas in which they want to excel.
• Continue to promote Online Bill Pay.
• Focus on prompt and accurate monthly billing.
Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
A 4-year plan was implemented in 2006, which provided for the replacement of all obsolete transponders. Based
on the current failure rate of the old transponders, it may be necessary to expedite the change-out process and
budget for transponders needed to complete the process.
Our current inserter/mailing machine was purchased in 2002, with a life expectancy of 5-7 years. Due to increased
service/repair calls, we anticipate replacement will be necessary. Other departments are finding the need to use
the machine, which means additional capabilities are required.

departments. Research new developments in GIS, GPD, aerial photography, and data collection methods and
advice department heads of necessary changes to keep up with current technology. Perform updates of the water
and sewer utility maps on a continuing basis to keep up with development. Track zoning applications and
approvals for inclusion in the City’s official zoning map. Create, modify, and maintain on-line mapping system
including parcels, zoning, survey data, and aerial photos. Track plats through to filing and add new parcels to
map, including drawing new graphics onto the map and building the relationships to their accounts in the Tarrant

Location and Hours of Operation:
Vehicle Service Center, 1314 Royal Parkway
Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with personnel on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Mission / Programs / Services:
• To properly maintain and ensure the correct usage of the City’s investment in vehicles and equipment.
• To provide corrective maintenance, facilitate needed repairs, train City personnel on equipment safety, and
coordinate vehicle damage claims for all City departments. Fleet operations provide all departments with
vehicle and equipment information, specifications and recommendations as they pertain to budget or City
Council presentations.
FY2007 Highlights & Accomplishments:
• Fleet Operations has again received the “Blue Shield of Excellence” award from the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) for the twelfth year in a row.
• Replacement of fuel dispensing equipment and upgraded to new vapor recovery nozzles, three years in
advance of federal mandate.
• Began discussion with Blue Sky Energy on the conversion of our diesel fuel to B80 Bio-Diesel. New bulk fuel
tank installed for Bio-Diesel product.
• Received a vehicle replacement grant from NCTCOG for approximately $125,000.00 under the Clean Fleet
Cities initiative.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
• Addition of a clerical officer worker for both fleet & facility operations.
• Emergency Vehicle Technician certification for shop staff.
• Correct drainage issues at service center site to prevent flooding of parts room.
• 2010 EPA requirements for lowered diesel emissions.
• Continue the purchase of Hybrid vehicle models into the City’s fleet.
Major Budgetary Issues & Operational Trends:
• Strict EPA diesel emission reduction mandates will go into effect in 2010. These mandates will require that we
use reduced sulfur fuels or look for alternative heavy fuel oils to power our diesel fleet.
• Future environmental issues will directly impact fleet based repair shops. Current operation standards
established by Fleet Operations staff should allow for the city to be prepared for such mandates. These issues
will continue to be monitored by staff for compliance and any needed operational changes.
• Continued increase in fuel and oil cost will force the city into seeking alternative fuel source. We will continue
to support our efforts in the conversion of vehicles to Propane (LPG). All though Hybrid units will also be
explored. We will need to aggressively seek alternative means of powering our fleet in the future.

Mission/Programs/Services:
The City of Euless has proudly been a Tree City USA for the past twenty-one years and is firmly committed to the
importance of trees and beautification and the improvement that they provide to the environment. Although the
traditional Arbor Daze festival was not held in 2006, due to a required re-evaluation of the festival and the risk
exposure to the city, the tree give-away program, which was the highlight of the event, took place in order to
celebrate the importance of trees.

• To utilize both quantitative and qualitative research to evaluate Arbor Daze 2007 and to make the event even
better in 2008.
• Successfully complete the third annual PoeTree Contest for fourth grade students from Euless elementary
schools.
• To support and dedicate resources to fulfill Tree City USA distinction for the City of Euless.
Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
• To provide the necessary staff resources to perform requirements to meet the Tree City USA distinction.
• Ability to showcase Euless through festival production with a limited budget.
• Ability to secure volunteer groups to support the staff during the festival without the financial resources to
adequately donate monetarily to the organization.

Mission/Programs/Services:
• To provide quality adult softball programs to players from around the Metroplex, state and country.
• To be a financially sound enterprise under the direction of the Parks & Community Services Department.
• To be recognized nationally as the best softball complex in the country.
• To bring out-of-state visitors to Euless through our national tournament programs.
FY2007 Highlights/Accomplishments:
• Winter tournaments were near capacity, with all fields being utilized on most weekends.
• Hosted 13 National Invitational Tournaments, 4 State Championships, 2 Men’s Nationals and 1 USSSA Mixed
World.
• Programmed over 40 tournament events and 7 League sessions.
• Increased participation in Mid-Winter Season expanding from one (1) night to three (3) nights.
• Renovations to our main building included: concession counters, new exterior and interior walls and windows,
new carpet upstairs, new HVAC unit for main building, re-painted upstairs and added new menu boards.
• Implemented new registration policy to help prevent no-shows and forfeits.
• Re-opened Pro Shop to include a full line of Mizuno sporting goods and team uniform sales.
• Re-landscaped front entrance.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
• Focus on attracting teams that have left to return to Softball World.
• Retain qualified and quality umpires.
• Provide quality concessions operations with expanded options at a competitive price.
• Establish an annual Field Maintenance program to ensure quality turf and playability.
• Establish a high level of Customer Service to current and future participants of SBW.
Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
Recreation industry as a whole continues to experience a downward trend in the number of participants. New
venues in the Metroplex provide more options for the softball player in an increasingly competitive market.
Consequently, fee structure as well as expenditure flow will require continuous monitoring and management to
ensure the impacts on both the physical plant and guest experience are minimized.
Age of the facility is reaching a level where certain major mechanical and structural items will need to be replaced
in near term fiscal years. There repairs, on top of restricted working capital, could require funding from other fund
sources.

wedding receptions. I.e. chair covers, place settings, satin, drop table linens & centerpieces. Restroom
appearance industrial & should be enhanced

operating budget margins.
Professional dues as well as workforce costs continue to rise and thus further place a burden on the restricted
baseline budget.

Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
The funding of events that showcase Euless in an economy that is slow to recover.
Events as well as historical sites are significant avenues that are a catalyst for increased tourism and hotel
occupancy. Funding of these events is paramount to the continued growth and promotion of the City of Euless.
Lack of available Hotel/Motel collections do not provide adequate funding to support events and related activities
that showcase our city and provide economic impact to the local economy.
Parks and Recreation special events help to create and stimulate economic activity on an annual basis as well as
promote and expose the community and enhance or create a desired community image.

Euless Development Corporation Operations 210-1031-513
Location and Hours of Operation:
201 North Ector Drive, City Hall, Euless, TX 76039
Mission / Programs / Services:
The Texas legislature allows municipalities in counties with 750,000 or more in population to assess an additional
half cent sales tax to be used to improve the quality of life for its citizens. Funds derived from this tax may be
spent only for parks and park facilities, library improvements, open space improvements, and economic
development. This tax went into effect on July 1, 1993. Euless Development Corporation was established to
advise City Council on use of the funds and facilitate the process.
Mission:
Improve the quality of life for our citizens by providing safe, clean, spacious park facilities.
Provide new and modern library equipment to keep our citizens in touch with technology.
Increase our business community through promotion and advertising.
FY2007 Highlights & Accomplishments:
Provided funding for debt repayment on the Half Cent Sales Tax Revenue bonds
Completed annual audit of the economic development corporation
Encouraged Economic Development to provide the city with financial flexibility.
FY2008 Goals & Objectives:
Promote the City of Euless to prospective investors and developers.
Provide annual funding of the disclosure and audit requirements of the Economic Development
Corporation.
Search for ways to increase the revenue source in this fund.
Major Budgetary Issues & Operational Trends:
The Economic Development Corporation is funded by a ½¢ sales tax. During FY2007 sales tax revenues were
higher than previous year. However, we continue to look for economic development opportunities to increase the
revenue in this fund.

Major Budgetary Issues and Operational Trends:
Irrigation maintenance continues to be a burden for both manpower and expenses. In FY 2007, 1643.8 hours
were spent on irrigation modification and repairs, requiring additional expenditures from an already restricted
operating budget. Grounds maintenance, particularly athletic field maintenance, has increased due to the success
of the Parks at Texas Star Baseball League and having to use both Midway Park and the Parks at Texas Star to
satisfy the demand for game fields. Additionally, park fixtures and amenities have increased substantially resulting
in an increase in general park maintenance in the areas of trash, repairs to picnic stations, park signage, trail
maintenance, water fountain repairs and general up-keep.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a process by which the City designs a multi-year plan for
major capital expenditures. Due to the tremendous growth of the capital projects program, and the
amount of detail required for these projects, a separate document is provided for the Capital Improvement
Program. Generally the CIP includes improvements that are relatively expensive, are non-recurring, have
a multi-year useful life, and like capital outlay items, result in fixed assets. These include the construction
and acquisition of new buildings, additions to or renovations of existing buildings, construction of streets,
drainage improvements, land purchases, and water and wastewater utility lines. This is a very
progressive process, with projects being added and deleted from the funded and unfunded lists as they
move through the project completion phase.
A. Preparation – The City’s capital budget will include all capital project funds and all capital
resources. The budget will be prepared annually in conjunction with the operating budget. The
capital budget will be compiled by the Finance Director with the involvement of all required City
departmental project managers. Integration of the fiscal impact of capital improvements on the
operating budget will be monitored.
B. Definition – Facilities include any structures or properties owned by the City, the land upon which
the facility is situated for the provision of City services, and the initial furniture, fixtures, equipment
and apparatus necessary to put the facility in service. Facilities include, but are not limited to the
following: administrative offices, parks, service centers and storage yards, recreation centers,
libraries, fire stations, jails and courts, and water and sewer related structures.
C. Infrastructure – Includes permanently installed facilities, generally placed underground or at
grade, which form the basis for the provision of City services. Typically included are
thoroughfares, bridges, water and wastewater lines, drainage channels, and storm sewers.
D. Control – All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. The
Finance Department must certify the availability of such appropriations or the availability of
resources so an appropriation can be made before a capital project contract is presented by the
City Manager to the City Council for approval.
E. Program Planning – The capital budget will include capital improvements program plans for future
years. The planning time frame should normally be at least five years. The replacement and
maintenance for capital items should be projected for the next five years. Future maintenance
and operations will be determined, so that these costs can be considered in the operating budget.
F. Alternate Resources – Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, pro-rata charges, or other
user-based fees should be used to fund capital projects which have a primary benefit to specified
property owners. Drainage Utility revenues are established to fund small citywide drainage
projects. Single large drainage projects will be funded by debt.
G. Debt Financing – Recognizing that debt is usually a more expensive financing method, alternative
financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be used to
acquire major assets with expected lives which equal or exceed the average life of the debt issue.
The exceptions to this requirement are the traditional costs of marketing and issuing the debt,
capitalized labor for design and construction of capital projects, and small component parts which
are attached to major equipment purchases.
H. Infrastructure Maintenance – The City recognizes that deferred street maintenance increases
future capital costs by an estimated five- to ten-fold. Therefore, a portion of the General Fund
budget will be set aside each year to maintain the quality of streets. The amount will be
established annually so that repairs will be made amounting to a designated percentage of the
value of the streets.
I. Reporting – Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the Department Managers to
manage their capital budgets and to enable the Finance Department to monitor and control the
capital budget as authorized by the City Manager.

designated project drainage independent from street construction, and thus separate and distinct from
drainage incidental to street or thoroughfare improvements. Responsibility rests with the Public
Works Department.
- 236 -

CATEGORIZED GUIDELINES FOR CLASSIFYING PROJECT:
Land – All expenditures for the acquisition of land (for the purpose of long-term use by the City)
should be included. Payments of damage claims arising from the taking of or the use of the land as
well as the acquisition in fee simple would be included.
Structures – All expenditures for the structures, including not only construction costs, but also
architectural, engineering, legal and related expenses would be included. However, small structures
of relatively nominal value, such as a metal storage shed, would be excluded from the C.I.P. As a
general rule of thumb, somewhere in the range of $25,000 is considered the minimum structure cost
for inclusion in the C.I.P., and it should have an expected useful life of at least ten years.
Machinery – All expenditures for machinery that is a part of structures at the time of initial acquisition
or construction of the structure should be included. Additionally, expenditures for machinery which
constitute a substantial upgrading or renovation of an existing structure should be included. A
general rule of thumb for C.I.P. inclusion for such machinery outlays is a minimum cost of
approximately $10,000 and an expected useful life of ten years.
Vehicular Equipment – Vehicular equipment is not generally considered appropriate as an item for the
C.I.P. due to the relatively nominal unit cost and short life. However, heavy equipment may be
included using the machinery and equipment guidelines: $25,000 minimum cost and at least ten
years of expected useful life.
Furnishing and Office Equipment – The total furnishings for a new facility addition may constitute a
C.I.P. item. Each such case must be considered individually. However, the machinery and
equipment rule of thumb of ten years minimum expected useful life and $10,000 cost (total furnishing
cost for new facility or addition) may be used as a general guideline. Office equipment is not
considered a proper C.I.P. item.
Thoroughfares and Utility Lines – All expenditures for thoroughfare and utility line construction,
engineering, legal and related expenses should be included.
Preliminary Plans, Investigation and Studies – For many projects, substantial sums are required for
preliminary plans, investigations and studies. Ordinarily, such inquiries (if aimed at possible capital
outlays of the charter that would be admitted to the C.I.P. under the previous categories) would be
included in the capital program.
- 237 -
Landscaping – All landscaping expenditures for new or existing facilities may qualify as a C.I.P. item.
Each case will be considered individually. As a rule of thumb, costs of approximately $10,000 are
considered.
Grant-In-Aid Items – All expenditures of grant, matching or participating moneys from other
governmental entities or private contributors (Foundations) which are expended in conjunction with
City funds for Capital Improvements Projects.

CITY OF EULESS
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Euless has developed and produced under separate cover a Capital Improvements
Program. This program is reviewed annually to reflect changing priorities. It provides a
framework for identifying capital requirements, scheduling projects over multiple years,
coordinating related projects, and identifying future fiscal impact. This document details all
capital projects that have been identified to date and meets the requirements of the City
Charter. Article VII, Section 2 (4) requires “A statement proposing any capital expenditures
deemed necessary for undertaking during the next budget year and recommended provisions
for financing”. Section 2 (5) further requires “A list of capital projects which should be
undertaken within the five (5) next succeeding years”. Excerpts from the Capital Improvements
Program publication have been summarized in the Operating Budget document for your
convenience.
Formal City Council Adoption of the Capital Improvement Program indicates the City’s
commitment to the plan, but does not in itself authorize expenditures. The necessary funding
mechanisms must be adopted each year to pay for the improvements. Each year, the Capital
Improvement Program includes a thorough review process similar to the operating budget.
A Capital Improvement Program Fund Balance Summary has been provided that reflects all
resources currently available and projected resources for the upcoming budget year. This
summary reflects capital expenditures that were approved during the budget process, lists all
capital projects that will be presented to the Council during FY2008 for approval, and verifies
that resources are currently available to fund all these projects. As projects are approved by the
City Council, they will be moved from the “Unfunded” section of the Capital Improvement
Program to the “Funded” section.
There are five major categories of capital projects including Drainage Projects, Street Projects,
Wastewater Projects, Water Projects and Other Projects. Summaries of Funded Projects have
been provided in this section including financial information, descriptions, justifications, and
effect on operating and maintenance costs. Unfunded projects have been prioritized into three
categories. Priority A indicates that the project will be presented to Council during the
upcoming budget year for action. These encompass the FY2008 proposed projects. Priority B
indicates that projects will be presented to Council within two to five years. Priority C indicates
that projects will not begin for at least 5 years. Only Priority A projects have been detailed in
this document. For information on future year projects refer to the Capital Improvements
Program.
The following table summarizes budgets for Funded Projects. Unfunded Projects have also
been summarized by category and priority.

CITY OF EULESS
FY2008 PROPOSED PROJECTS
PRIORITY A
DRAINAGE PROJECTS
ROCKWALL-LAMAR
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $430,000
Description: A flume will need to be reconstructed and additional inlets and pipe systems will be
needed to be built from Midway Drive up Lamar to the intersection of Rockwall Drive.
Justification: In moderate storms, the drainage capacity in a flume and in the streets is exceeded
causing flooding of several homes. The construction of this project will help prevent flooding in this
area.
Operating Impact: This project will help to prevent flooding in this area, and eliminate future claims
against the city.
HURRICANE CREEK AND BRIDGE AT MARLENE DESIGN
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $335,000
Description: This project includes the design of a bridge at Marlene Drive, for the improved
concrete channel lining that will extend approximately to the confluence of Cyclone Branch, and to
Hurricane Creek south of State Highway 10. The engineering includes hydraulic studies,
modeling, field surveying for plant preparation, easements, permit fees, coordination with FEMA
and the Corp of Engineers, and preparation of construction plans and bid documents.
Justification: The undersized culvert and concrete channel need to be rebuilt so as to prevent
structural flooding of approximately six to eight homes in a 100-year flood event. In addition, these
improvements will also help to prevent further erosion along Hurricane Creek.
Operating Impact: This project will help to prevent flooding in this area, and eliminate future claims
against the city.
STREET PROJECTS
NORTH MAIN STREET OVERLAY
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $290,000
Description: This project consists of edge mill, asphalt overlay, and re-striping of North Main
Street from Harwood Road to Little Bear Creek Drive (approximately 7,600 linear feet). It will also
include adjusting manholes and water valve covers.
Justification: The existing asphalt pavement is deteriorating and is becoming a maintenance
problem. The asphalt overlay will provide an improved riding surface, will extend the life of the
roadway and will enhance the appearance of this street.
Operating Impact: The city allocates $300,000 annually to fund small overlay projects and
$114,350 for street maintenance and repairs. This project will improve driving conditions on this
street and reduce roadway maintenance costs, allowing the city to divert these maintenance
dollars to other streets within the city. This overlay project will extend the life of the roadway and
enhance the appearance of this thoroughfare.

FULLER-WISER CONNECTOR
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $495,000
Description: Fuller-Wiser Road is a minor local arterial connection between State Highway 360 on
the north and state highway 183 on the south. This facility is presently constructed to a design
standard of four lanes undivided in a 70 foot right-of-way. The recommended ultimate design
standard should be a four lane divided roadway in an 85 foot right-of-way for the sections that are
north of Mid-Cities Boulevard and south of Harwood Road.
Justification: Completing this connector will upgrade this portion of the roadway from a two-lane
county road section with open drainage, to a standard curb and gutter street section with
underground drainage systems.
Operating Impact: The city allocates $114,350 annually to fund street maintenance and repairs.
By upgrading this roadway to a standard curb and gutter with an underground drainage system,
the city will be able to reduce roadway maintenance costs caused by inadequate drainage allowing
the city to divert these maintenance dollars to other streets within the city, extend the life of the
roadway, improve driving conditions, and enhance the appearance of this thoroughfare.
WASTEWATER PROJECTS
LINE REPLACEMENT, FAYETTE/SOUTH MILLS
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $750,000
Description: This project will replace sanitary sewer lines on the west side of Fayette Drive from
Harwood road to Ector Drive, and west of South Mills from South Pipeline road to the south side of
State Highway 10.
Justification: Many sanitary sewer lines throughout the city are 40+ years old. Most of the lines
are clay tile and are subject to ground movement, grease, root infestation, and deterioration due to
hydrogen sulfide gas and other chemicals. Many are not functional at an acceptable level and are
inundated with infiltration and inflow. Systematic replacement will prevent a mandatory wide
spread replacement.
Operating Impact: By doing a systematic replacement program the city is able to cash-flow these
projects, and reallocate funds for maintenance in other areas of the city without increasing the total
maintenance budget. The Water and Sewer fund transfers $1,000,000 a year towards the water
and wastewater line replacement program. This allows the city to maintain existing infrastructure
without the need for debt issuance.
WATER PROJECTS
LINE REPLACEMENT, SIGNET/MESA
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $204,000
Description: Systematic annual replacement of old deteriorated or substandard size water mains.
This project would replace the water main along Mesa from Marlene to Northcliff and replace the
water main along Signet from Canyon Ridge to Westcliff, replacing 4” CI main with 8” PVC.
Justification: Old and deteriorated water mains increase the City’s maintenance costs.
Substandard size water mains provide inadequate flow of water for fire protection.

CDBG-33rd OAKWOOD TERRACE (SIMMONS DRIVE)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $451,639
Description: The water mains included in this project are part of the City of Euless Water System
Master Plan. This project is part of the systematic replacement of substandard water mains. This
project is part of the 33rd year Community Development Block Grant Program. This project will
provide for systematic replacement of old deteriorated or substandard size water mains. This
project would replace the water main along Simmons Drive from Bayless Drive to South Pipeline
Road, replacing 6” CI with 8” PVC.
Justification: Old and deteriorated water mains increase the City’s maintenance costs.
Substandard size water mains provide inadequate flow of water for fire protection.
Operating Impact: By doing a systematic replacement program the city is able to cash-flow these
projects and reallocate funds for maintenance in other areas of the city without increasing the total
maintenance budget. The Water and Sewer fund transfers $1,000,000 a year towards the water
and wastewater line replacement program. This allows the city to maintain existing infrastructure
without the need for debt issuance. Since the City of Euless has exceeded 50,000 in population,
the city qualifies for a greater portion of the Community Development Block funding. By obtaining
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for this project, the city will be able to
complete this project, while only contributing 25% of the total cost. This will allow the city to
reallocate these savings to other water or wastewater line replacements.
TRANSPONDERS/METERS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $331,875
Description: This project provides for the replacement of electronic transponders. These
transponders are affixed to water meters allowing for an electronic or remote reading of water
consumption. These water meters (transponders) are read with an electronic device located inside
the city vehicle while driving along a pre-defined route.
Justification: The Trace Transponders technology is approximately 15 years old. The
dependability of the reading equipment, the transponder size, and the battery life expectancy of the
Trace automated reading system has not kept pace with technology. The Trace Transponders are
failing at a very high rate. The reading equipment, which is approximately 15 years old, is failing
also and requires frequent returns to the factory for repairs.
Operating Impact: The city began a citywide replacement of transponders during FY2006. This will
be the third year of a four year replacement program which is expected to be completed in 2009.
Frequent repairs to the current equipment is not only costly, but also decreases efficiency. When
the current transponders fail, a utility worker has to be sent out to manually read the meter,
therefore increasing labor cost. After completion of the current transponder replacement program,
the city will need to transfer approximately $158,000 annually to fund future replacements.

OTHER PROJECTS
SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER-DESIGN
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $250,000
Description: This project is part of the city’s five year master plan. This part of the project is for
the design of a new senior citizens facility which will allow for additional arts and crafts, exercise,
and expanded dining areas.
Justification: The City of Euless is dedicated to addressing the increasing needs of the senior
citizen community. Originally, the plan was to expand the current senior citizen facility to allow for
additional programs and to bring it compliant with ADA standards. However, after reviewing the
current site, the council decided to design and construct a brand new facility which will be more
centrally located within the city.
Operating Impact: During the design phase and the land acquisition, the city does not anticipate
any impact to the operating budget. However, after the new facility is constructed, there will be
increased cost for maintenance and utilities. The full impact of these costs can not be determined
until after the architect has completed the design phase and determined the square footage of the
new facility.
TEXAS STAR CONFERENCE CENTRE EXPANSION
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $3,189,350
Description: The project proposes an expansion of the current conference centre facility to allow
for additional conference room space, additional office space, and a new catering kitchen. The
current kitchen is grossly undersized, and expansion will be necessary to accommodate the growth
in the conference centre activity. In addition, the golf course pro shop does not have enough room
to support the daily traffic. The further need to expand the kitchen and the Treaty Room has a
direct impact on the ability to expand the golf pro shop. The expansion will allow for a more
efficient golf club operation.
Justification: This expansion will greatly increase the functionality of the facility and would allow for
additional programming opportunities. While improving conditions for the current staff, Texas Star
will remain competitive with other meeting/conference facilities in the local market. The increased
conference room space, and separate catering kitchen will allow the city to accommodate larger
groups than in the past.
Operating Impact: This project will have a positive impact on the overall net income of this facility.
The city is expecting increased revenues from conference centre activities, as well as increased
revenues in golf operations. However, with the proposed increase in square footage, the city
anticipates increases in janitorial services, maintenance, and utilities. Overall, the city will need to
increase the golf course operational budget but approximately $98,000 to cover these costs.
MIDWAY RECREATION CENTER-GENERAL BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $293,500
Description: This improvement project will encompass numerous areas of the facility from
cosmetic changes to building preservation. The project calls for a re-roof of the entire structure to
include all three elevations, replacement of the existing rubber flooring, and exterior repaint.
Wallpaper in the hallways will be replaced with an RFP type product for durability as well as

general reconditioning of the bathroom tiles and fixtures. This project will also allow for the
replacement of the parking lot lighting as well as the fixtures surrounding the building.
Justification: Pursuant to the recommendation by staff, these improvements are designed to
provide improved recreational amenities to our citizens.
Operating Impact: The city continues to upgrade recreational amenities to provide a safe
environment to encourage and promote a Healthy New Euless. The city strives to provide
miscellaneous recreational amenities that entice our citizens to get outside, get moving, and spend
quality time with family and friends. The proposed changes to the facility will require some
additional staff hours for preventative maintenance, increases in janitorial services, utilities, and
minor repairs. Overall, the operational impact is projected to be approximately $80,300 annually.

DRAINAGE PROJECTS
MISCELLANEOUS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS (DR9903)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $151,609
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $138,776
Description: This project includes funds for various small projects that are identified throughout the
year. Often correction of these drainage issues will require design services and the installation of
improvements. Large projects that occur will be tracked separately and assigned a different project
number.
Justification: Failure to correct these problems often causes damage to existing infrastructure.
Operating Impact: By repairing these small drainage projects throughout the city, maintenance costs
are reduced, therefore allowing the city to divert the maintenance cost to other areas. The city
maintains a budget of $20,000 annually for routine maintenance, weed control, and brush removal.
LITTLE BEAR CREEK STUDY UPDATE (DR0601)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $50,000
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $20,600
Description: This study will evaluate the erosion that has occurred and the impact to existing park
facilities, with recommendations where drainage improvements will be necessary.
Justification: Continued erosion may eventually undermine park facilities. This study will identify
areas of concern and areas of proposed improvements.
Operating Impact: Projects defined in this study will be added to our Capital Improvement Plan.
Depending on the estimated project cost, and the size of the project, the city may have to issue
revenue bonds to finance these projects. This would likely require a drainage rate increase.
McCORMICK PARK (DR0602)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $250,000
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $226,441
Description: This project provides for the construction of erosion control for the northern embankment
of Little Bear Creek near the Joyce Court parking facility and adjacent to the park trail to the west.
Justification: Current erosion at this location is threatening the parking facility. This construction is
necessary to prevent further erosion at this site.
Operating Impact: Improvements to this channel will reduce emergency erosion repairs, as well as
repairs to the parking lot at this park location, freeing up staff time and allowing resources to be
reallocated to other drainage repairs. Without this repair, additional capital funding would be required
to reconstruct the parking lot.

Description: Additional inlets and pipe systems will be needed to contain the flows within the city’s
drainage systems. The system will extend from the low point on Eastcliff up Greenbriar several
hundred feet.
Justification: In moderate storms, the drainage capacity in the streets is exceeded causing flooding of
several homes. The construction of this project will help prevent flooding in this area.
Operating Impact: The city has had several issues with homeowners in this area. This project will
help to prevent flooding in this area, and eliminate future claims against the city.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
NORTH MAIN STREET (PS9901)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $6,820,047
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $ 170,586
Description: This project consists of reconstruction and widening of North Main Street from SH10 to
Harwood Road. The project also consists of relocating overhead utilities, the addition of a subsurface
drainage system, and the addition of streetlights and landscaping improvements.
Justification: This project will improve traffic flow and traffic safety, improve aesthetics with relocation
of overhead utilities and the addition of landscaping.
Operating Impact: Annual debt service payment that is required to fund this project is approximately
$450,000. This project will improve driving conditions and reduce roadway maintenance costs for this
street. The amounts saved from the reconstruction can be reallocated to other streets in need of
repair.
HARWOOD ROAD, N. MAIN TO 360 (PS9904)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $5,727,211
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $ 79,273
Description: This project consists of Harwood Road from a point approximately 350 feet west of N.
Main Street to SH 360. New roadway will be a six-lane boulevard with sidewalks, landscaping and
lighting. Signals will be added at Fuller Wiser and Bear Creek Parkway.
Justification: Existing roadway (two-lane) does not meet existing and future needs.
Operating Impact: Annual debt service payment that is required to fund this project is approximately
$480,000. This project will increase this roadway from two to six lanes which will substantially
reduced the traffic congestion on this road, improve driving conditions and reduce roadway
maintenance costs for this street. The amounts saved from these maintenance costs will be used to
maintain landscaping and pay increased electrical cost associated with new street lighting and traffic
signals.

funded solely from wastewater impact fees, requiring no additional funding from the Water and Sewer
Operating fund.
TRA SEWER PAYMENTS (WW0605)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $60,000 annually
Description: Based on a review by Birkoff, Hendricks, and Conway of the water and wastewater
impact fees, it was determined that a substantial portion of the wastewater impact fee is attributed to
the Trinity River Authority (TRA) capital projects. Therefore, these fees should be used to pay a
portion of the annual TRA expense, as these funds are directly attributed to the expansion of TRA.
Based on the available fund balance, a systematic drawdown over a 10 year period has been
developed.
Justification: The expansion of TRA provides additional capacity and it was determined through the
wastewater impact fee study that these funds could be used to pay a portion of TRA wastewater
payments.
Operating Impact: A 10 year drawdown would approximate the Capital Improvement Plan review
time frame. These payments are estimated at $60,000 annually for the next 10 years. This will
reduce the Water and Sewer operating payments to TRA by $60,000 annually. After the 10 year
period, the operating fund will be required to fund these payments.

Operating Impact: This project allows the Economic Development Department some flexibility in
attracting new businesses to the City of Euless. The Economic Development Corporation, which is
funded by a ½¢ sales tax, makes an annual contribution to this project in the amount of $25,000.
DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (ED0101)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $100,000
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $100,000
Description: Commission a study of the highest and best use of this valuable commercial land.
Justification: Poor planning can result in lower than desired tax revenue and less than optimal

within the city limits.
Operating Impact: Economic Development as a result of these studies could substantially impact
future tax revenues.
POLICE & COURTS FACILITY (PD9901)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $11,714,446
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $ 120,377
Description: This project includes a 53,000 square foot facility to accommodate police, jail, and
courts. This project is substantially complete.
Justification: Existing space available for these operations is grossly inadequate.
Operating Impact: With the completion of this project, the city experienced increased personnel cost,
increased utilities, and increased maintenance costs due to the square footage of the new building.
This increase resulted in additional annual maintenance cost of approximately $90,000 and $106,000
in utilities costs. The operating costs are paid through the General Fund and the Crime Control and
Prevention District. The annual debt service for the building, which is paid through ad valorem taxes,
is approximately $750,000.

BUILDING B DESIGN AND REMODEL (FM0504)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $1,322,490
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $ 10,000
Description: To provide the design and construction of a more efficient work space area, Building B
will be remodeled to expand the layout for the following departments: Finance, Utility Billing,
Insurance, Risk, and Human Resources. This project is substantially complete.
Justification: Renovation of Building B will provide a more efficient work space area for the individual
departments and has been designed to allow for growth. The renovated structure will be brought up
to current ADA and TAAS standards.
Operating Impact: Upon completion, the new facility will provide a new lobby area for our citizens to
make utility payments in a safe and secure environment. In addition, new employee applicants and
water customers will have an area to complete applications. During the construction, current
employees were relocated to a temporary location. Operating costs increased due to rent and utilities
at the temporary location by approximately $36,000. The city anticipates an increase in maintenance,
janitorial and utility costs of approximately $5,000 in the General Fund and Water and Sewer fund in
conjunction with the completion of this project.
PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY (FM0601)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $2,210,956
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $ 81,338
Description: Site planning, topographic surveying and architectural design for the new Public Works
facility to be located on existing city property east of the fire station and animal control shelter at 1515
Westpark Way. The scope of the work will include office space for supervisors, built –in desk space
and storage for foremen, parts storage, equipment bay for weather sensitive equipment, conference
room, training room, outside construction materials storage bins, sheltered vehicle parking, and locker
rooms.
Justification: The existing Public Works facility is 50 years old and is a former corrugated metal
building that has been modified over time. The building and ancillary structures do not meet ADA
standards and provide a constant maintenance problem. The current facility is not large enough to
house the current personnel assigned to public works and lacks adequate training facilities. The
current building is located on a piece of property owned by the City of Euless with in Bedford city
limits. The City would like to move the facility within Euless City limits.
Operating Impact: The new facility will provide much needed space for our Public Works employees.
In addition, the facility will be more centrally located within the City of Euless requiring less commute
time between our current facility and job sites. The new facility is expected to increase operating
costs for utilities, janitorial services, maintenance and insurance by approximately $13,300 annually.
However, the city will be able to sell the existing property, which will significantly reduce maintenance
costs at this site.

as well as, minor improvements at all city parks.
Justification: Pursuant to the recommendations in the Parks Master Plan, parks should be brought
into compliance with ADA standards relating to accessibility. Additionally, the existing equipment in
many parks is becoming aged and outdated and will require refurbishment/replacement in the near
term.
Operating and Maintenance Cost: This project will minimize maintenance cost related to playground
equipment and will allow these funds to be reallocated to other park improvement projects.

TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $225,000
FUNDS REMAINING ON PROJECT: $192,388
Description: This project will continue the upgrade of all city parks to modernize amenities including
water fountains, play components, picnic stations, and pavilions. This project will provide funding for
the replacement of aged structures to include pavilions, picnic tables, gazebos, signage, safety
components, and other park amenity components.
Justification: Pursuant to the recommendation in the Parks Master Plan, parks should be brought into
ADA compliance. Additionally, existing equipment in many park areas is becoming aged and
outdated which will require refurbishment, and/or replacement in the near term.
Operating Impact: The city continues to upgrade park amenities to provide a safe environment to
encourage and promote a Healthy New Euless. The city strives to provide miscellaneous park
amenities that entice our citizens to get outside, get moving, and spend time quality with family and
friends. The installation of new equipment will require some additional staff hours for preventative
maintenance to reduce future replacement costs.

INTRODUCTION TO DEBT
General Obligation:
The existing debt obligation and individual issues are presented in this section with graphical
representations as well.
Existing debt level reflects nineteen years of remaining payments with additional debt capacity as the
structure begins to decline in 2017 and falls dramatically in 2021 and again in 2022. The final debt
service payment lies in fiscal year 2027.
This debt structure also represents the following ratios:
Debt to Current Debt
Debt per Capita: Tax Base: to Revenue:
City - $831 1.30% 9.13%
General obligation ratios are favorable. Low debt to tax base ratios reveal the City’s goal of not
burdening the citizens with excessive debt. Debt to revenue ratio is strong, below 20%. The City does
not anticipate the issuance of any debt.
The portion of the tax rate that is dedicated for existing debt levels is just under 40%, which is a fiscally
sound level.
The State of Texas limits the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 valuation. Euless’ adopted rate of
$0.470000 falls well below this limit.
Euless’ financial policies address debt management. Excerpts from that section include the following:
Long-term debt will not be used for operating purposes, and the life of the bonds will not exceed the
useful life of the projects financed.
Full disclosure of operations will be made to the bond rating agencies. The City staff, with the
assistance of fiscal advisors or bond counsel, will prepare the necessary materials for and
presentation to the rating agencies.
The debt burden should be within the norm of comparable cities. Specifically, maintenance of
capacity not to exceed the median per capita and per assessed valuation will be monitored.
The City will issue bonds with an average life of twenty (20) years or less in order to reduce net
interest cost and maintain future flexibility by paying off debt earlier. The issuance should
contribute to an overall curve that is relatively flat.
Future debt issues will be considered within the parameters of the City’s financial policies, ratios,
supporting revenues and political climate.
- 277 -
Revenue:
The City’s revenue bonds are comprised of Water and Wastewater, Drainage Utilities, and Sales
Tax.
Water and Wastewater
The existing debt structure represents seventeen years of remaining payments with additional debt
capacity as the structure begins to decline in 2021. The final payment lies in 2024.
There are currently no plans for additional debt issues in the near future. Current coverage ratio is
8.58 times, as calculated below:
Net Income 3,182,103 8.58
Avg. Annual Debt outstanding 370,871
Drainage System
The existing debt payment structure represents three years of remaining payments with a level
payment schedule. The final payment occurs in FY2010.
There are currently no plans for additional debt issues in the near future. Current coverage ratio is
3.05 times, as calculated below:
Gross Drainage Revenues 658,231 3.05
Avg. Annual Debt outstanding 215,810
Sales Tax
The City approved an additional sales tax of a half-cent under the 4b Economic Development
legislation. The purpose of the sales tax is to fund a new library, parks projects, and economic
activity. The existing debt payment schedule is level through 2015 and falls dramatically in 2016 and
again in 2017. The final payment on these bonds lies in 2019.
There are currently no plans for additional debt issues in the near future. Current coverage ratio is
5.11 times, as calculated below:
Gross Sales Tax Receipts 3,099,840 5.11
Avg. Annual Debt outstanding 606,949
Euless’ financial policies also address revenue issues in the debt management section. Excerpts
from that section include the following:
When appropriate, self-supporting revenues will pay debt service in lieu of tax revenues.
The City has both revenue bonds and other indebtedness of the Water and Wastewater Fund.
The City will maintain two coverage ratios: 1.50 for revenue bonds “technical average” and 1.25 for
all indebtedness “practical coverage”. The City will issue new debt for an Enterprise only after an
“additional bonds” test has been applied.
The City will issue bonds with an average life of twenty (20) years or less in order to reduce net
interest cost and maintain future flexibility by paying off debt earlier. The issuance should
contribute to an overall curve that is relatively flat.

APPENDICES
APPENDIX “A”
FINANCIAL TERMINOLOGY
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
1) The City’s finances shall be accounted for in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as established by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board.
a) City accounts are organized and operated on
the basis of funds, or account groups, each of
which is considered a separate accounting
entity. Fund accounting segregates funds
according to their intended purpose and is
used to aid management in demonstrating
compliance with finance-related legal and
contractual provisions. The minimum number
of funds is maintained consistent with legal and
managerial requirements. Funds are grouped
in two types: governmental and proprietary
fund types. Governmental funds are those
through which most governmental functions of
the city are financed and include the General
Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service
Funds, and Capital Projects Funds.
Proprietary funds operate in a manner similar
to private business and include enterprise
funds and internal service funds.
b) Governmental fund types are those which most
governmental functions of the City are financed
and include the General Fund, Special
Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and
Capital Projects Funds. These funds use the
flow of current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting revenues are
recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e.
when they are “measurable and available”).
“Measurable” means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and “available”
means collectible within the current period or
soon thereafter to pay liabilities in the current
period. Substantially all revenues are
considered to be susceptible to accrual.
Revenues from ad valorem taxes, sales taxes,
hotel occupancy taxes, franchise taxes, and
short-term motor vehicle taxes, recorded in the
governmental funds are recognized under the
susceptible to accrual concept. License and
Permits, charges for service, fines and
forfeitures, and miscellaneous revenues are
recorded as revenues when received in cash
because they generally are not measurable
until actually received. Investment earnings
are recorded as earned since they are
measurable and available. Expenditures are
recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred, if measurable, except for principal
and interest on general long-term debt, which
are recorded when due and compensated
absences, which are recorded when payable
from available financial resources.
c) The city utilizes encumbrance accounting for
governmental fund types, under which
purchase orders, contracts, and other
commitments for the expenditure of monies are
recorded in order to reserve that portion of the
applicable appropriations.
d) The City’s proprietary fund types are accounted
for on a flow of economic resources
measurement focus and use the accrual basis
of accounting. Under this method, revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded at the time the liabilities occur. Fund
equity (i.e., assets net of liabilities) is
segregated into contributed capital and
retained earnings components. Proprietary
fund and operating statements present
increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g.,
expenses) in net assets.
2) The City’s annual budgets shall be prepared and
adopted on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles for all governmental
and proprietary funds except the capital projects
funds, which adopt a project-length budget. Using
these accounts, the revenues and expenditures are
budgeted and approved before the beginning of the
fiscal year by an ordinance passed by the City
Council. Depreciation of fixed assets is not
recognized in proprietary fund budgets. All annual
appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
3) The issuance of GASB statement 34 has
influenced the creation and reporting of individual
funds. GASB 34 essentially mandates dual
accounting systems: one for government-wide (i.e.
the government as a single entity) reporting and
another for individual fund reporting. Under GASB
34 for individual funds, the city will continue utilizing
the accounting and budgeting processes as
described in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this section.
However, because GASB 34 mandates the flow of
economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting for the government-
wide reporting, extensive reconciliation must be
performed to present aggregated fund information
in the government–wide reporting model.
Therefore, individual operating funds will be
created with the objective of reducing fund to
government-wide reconciliation as much as
possible. When appropriate, individual funds will
be examined as to whether it will be appropriate to
account for them as proprietary fund types. Also,
the city will limit the use of internal service funds
and incorporate the financial transactions of these
funds into other governmental funds.
