Introduction
In order to be “A Great Place to Call Home,” the Town of Trophy Club encourages and is indebted to our dedicated
citizens who serve on Boards, Commissions, and Corporations. In accordance with Section 4.16 of the Town
Charter, the citizens who serve do so without compensation. They are appointed to serve after indicating their
interest through the application process, and they serve at the discretion of the Town Council.
Generally, members of each Board, Commission or Corporation are charged with researching pertinent projects
and with making recommendations to the Town Council. Members serve in an advisory capacity. The single
exception is the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which has some quasi-judicial duties. The exact duties and
requirements of each Board, Commission or Corporation can be found in the ordinance establishing that specific
body and/or applicable enabling statute.
Each Board, Commission, and Corporation consists of members, a Chair/President, a Town Staff Liaison and a
Council Liaison if one is appointed by the Council.
Applicant Requirement for Boards, Commissions, or Corporations
Applicants for Boards, Commissions, or Corporations must be a United States Citizen and registered voter prior to
their appointment and must also be Trophy Club residents for at least six (6) months prior to their appointment.
Based upon good cause shown, Council may waive the voter registration and/or length of residency requirement
for a person appointed to a Board, Commission, or Corporation, except where restricted by State law. Neither
elected officials, nor persons appointed to fill vacancies on any elected governmental body may serve on a Town
Board, Commission, or Corporation, per Town Charter.
The technical expertise of applicants shall be a consideration in gaining appointment.
Residency Requirement/Temporary Change in Residency Status
In addition to the residency requirement for citizens making application to serve on Town Boards, Commissions,
and Corporations, a person serving as a member must reside within the Town of Trophy Club during his or her
term of service in order to continue serving. However, if during the term of appointment or during the time frame
for reapplication, the residency status of a then current member of a Board, Commission or Corporation
temporarily changes for a period of no more than six (6) months, the member may request that the Council review
his/her specific circumstances affecting residency. If the temporary change in residency status does not disqualify a
member of a Board, Commission, or Corporation from continuing to serve either because of a Charter or state law
requirement for service on his/her respective Board, Commission, or Corporation, the Council may authorize the
continued service or reappointment of the member until such time as the member returns to permanent residency
status.
Posting Process
The Town Secretary will ensure that annual appointments for Boards, Commissions, and Corporations are posted
in the month of June:
• Announced in the Town Newsletter
• Posted on the marquees
• Posted on the Town’s Web page at: www.trophyclub.org
• Posted to Town-managed social media sites at: www.facebook.com/TrophyClubGov and
www.twitter.com/TrophyClubGov
The Town Secretary will also notify each member whose term is expiring that they must resubmit the Board,
Commission and Corporation Application.
Application Process for Annual Appointments
Town Council Page 32 of 312 Meeting Date: February 10, 2015
Handbook for Elected and Appointed Officials Page 3 of 8
Applications will be accepted each year in July or within a time frame as otherwise directed by Town Council. A
received application will be considered active for one year following the date of receipt, provided it meets all
previously stated requirements.
Applications are available in the Town office and online at the Town’s website. The completed application shall be
submitted to the Town Secretary and forwarded as soon as possible to the Town Council Appointments Committee
as well as the additional members of the Town Council.
Town Council Appointments Committee
At the first Town Council meeting in June, the Council shall establish an Appointments Committee tasked with
making recommendations to the full Council regarding appointments to all Boards, Commissions, and
Corporations. The Committee shall be comprised of the Mayor and two (2) Council members, and the Committee
shall have the discretion to add additional members to the Committee as determined appropriate.
Interview Process
Interviews shall be conducted by the Town Council Appointments Committee after the close of each application
period.
Staff Liaisons shall be responsible for scheduling interviews for each candidate who submits an application for their
respective Board, Commission, or Corporation. Typically these interviews will be held at a regular interval as
determined by the Appointments Committee. In the event of scheduling conflicts or workload demands, alternate
dates may be selected. Group interviews are conducted for most vacancies. However, individual interviews may
be conducted for certain positions at the request of the Appointments Committee.
After conducting interviews, the Appointments Committee shall provide its recommendations relating to
nominations for appointment to the Town Manager preceding the Council meeting at which such appointments
are to be considered. Appointments generally will be made by resolution at the second (2nd) Town Council meeting
of the month.
Boards, Commissions, Corporations, and Council will not evaluate applicants on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, ethnic group, age, or disability. Recommendations for appointment to a Board, Commission or
Corporation will not be made based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities or traits of individuals of a
certain race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ethnic group, or age, or individuals with disabilities. 1/27 NOTE:
move this to the Shoffner section
Mid-Term Vacancy / Resignations
When a Board, Commission, or Corporation member resigns mid-term, a written notice of resignation shall be
submitted to that body’s Chair. The Chair shall forward the notice to the Staff Liaison who shall then forward the
notice to the Town Secretary and Town Council.
Upon receiving notice of vacancy, the Town Secretary shall initiate the application process in accordance with the
Posting Process set forth above, and interviews shall be conducted in accordance with the Interview Process as set
forth above.
Members appointed to fill vacancies shall be appointed to serve out the remainder of a predecessor’s term.
Council may directly appoint an applicant whose application is previously on file under the established application
process provided that the applicant is still willing to serve on the Board, Commission or Corporation that he/she
applied for without the requirement of an additional interview.
Removal
Members of Boards, Commissions and Corporations serve at the discretion of the Town Council and may therefore
Town Council Page 33 of 312 Meeting Date: February 10, 2015
Handbook for Elected and Appointed Officials Page 4 of 8
be removed at the sole discretion of Council at any time.
Appointments Process
Terms of office for Board, Commission, and Corporation members shall begin in October unless Town Council
extends the time period for the application process or otherwise determines it appropriate to alter the annual
appointment schedule.
Term Lengths
Term lengths are set forth in the ordinance establishing the Board, Commission, or Corporation and/or applicable
enabling statutes.
Terms are staggered, with the Council making annual appointments to replace members whose regular terms
expire in any given year.
Compensation
Members appointed to a body by the Town Council shall serve without compensation; provided however, that
they shall be entitled to reimbursement of any necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official
duties, when approved by Council or its’ designee.
Maximum number of Appointments
It is the goal of the Council to afford the opportunity to serve on Town Boards, Commissions and Corporations to
as many interested residents as possible; however, if the number of open Board, Commission, or Corporation seats
exceeds the number of qualified applicants, the Council may allow a person to serve on more than one (1) Board,
Commission, or Corporation. In the event that the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of open
Board, Commission, or Corporation seats, it is the goal of the Council to first appoint those qualified applicants not
already serving before taking action to appoint an applicant who is already serving on a Town Board, Commission,
or Corporation. Council may act to replace a current member who is serving on more than one Board, Commission
or Corporation prior to the end of his or her term, provided there is an adequate number of qualified applicants.
Open Government Training
Elected and appointed public officials are required by State law to receive training in Texas open government laws.
The Office of the Attorney General offers free video training courses, which were developed to ensure that all
elected and appointed government officials, have a good command of both open records and open meetings laws.
Each elected or appointed official who is a member of a governmental body subject to the Open Meetings Act or
the Public Information Act must attend training. Additionally, employees who serve as a governmental body's
designated public information coordinator are required to complete the Public Information Act training course.
Officials who are elected or appointed shall complete the required open government training within ninety (90)
days after taking elected office or after appointment. Staff Liaisons from the individual groups requiring the
training shall be responsible to ensure that all members of their group receive the training. Training CDs are
available in the Town Secretary’s office or may be obtained online at:
http://www.oag.state.tx.us/media/videos/play.php?image=2005openrecords&id=150
Certificates of completion must be maintained by the member's governmental body and made available for public
inspection upon request. The original Certificate shall be forwarded to the Town Secretary to be kept in permanent
records.
More information on Open Government may be obtained online at the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Nepotism
A Board, Commission, or Corporation Chair/President cannot be a relative of the Mayor or of a Council Member.
Except as specifically provided below, on any given Board, Commission, or Corporation only one member can be a
relative of a Council Member. A person is a relative if he/she is related in the first degree by consanguinity (blood)
or by affinity (marriage).
Members of an Economic Development Corporation, Zoning Board of Adjustment or Planning and Zoning
Commission cannot be related to a Council member.
Guidelines for Members
All members of Boards, Commissions, and Corporations have specific duties and responsibilities.
All members of Boards, Commissions, and Corporations are expected to participate in formal and informal training
sessions.
Many Boards, Commissions, and Corporations deal with technical issues that can require a foundation of certain
knowledge that must be updated from time to time. The Town will provide reasonable opportunities for members
to acquire and keep current in these training efforts. Members are expected to participate.
Regular attendance
Effectiveness as a member requires regular attendance. Should a member of a Board, Commission, or Corporation
fail to attend three consecutive regular meetings without being excused , the Board, Commission, Corporation. or
the Council may declare that member’s appointment forfeited. A member who is unable to attend a meeting shall
notify the Staff Liaison of his/her inability to attend the meeting and shall provide an explanation of the conflict or
other reason that prevents his/her attendance. Notice to the Staff Liaison shall be provided as soon as practicable
after the member becomes aware of the impending absence.
It is particularly important that all members attend briefing sessions and work sessions prior to formal meetings to
promote effective and efficient meetings. If a member finds difficulty in maintaining regular attendance, it is
suggested that the member consider whether they have sufficient time to be an effective member. It is the
responsibility of a member in this position to initiate a discussion with the Chair/President or Staff Liaison about
attendance.
The Chairman of the Board, Commission, or Corporation is to maintain a charted attendance record for all
members. If attendance becomes an issue, the Staff Liaison will attempt to secure a written resignation.
The Staff Liaison is responsible for submitting periodic reports to the Town Council on behalf of the Board,
Commission, or Corporation noting progress and members’ attendance.
Avoidance of contacts and individual discussions
It is not uncommon for applicants, opponents, or their representatives to approach individual members to solicit

Ethics
All members of the Town Council, Boards, Commissions, and Corporations shall be familiar with the requirements
of the Town’s Ethics ordinance.
Effective Meetings
All members of Boards, Commissions and Corporations should familiarize themselves with the elements of a
successful meeting.
These include:
• Having a purpose for the meeting;
• Giving adequate notice;
• Posting public notice when required;
• Preparing for the meeting in advance;
• Preparing an agenda;
• Allowing for appropriate participation from all parties;
• Selecting an appropriate meeting place;
• Determining the outcome or results of the meeting;
• Keeping an accurate record of all proceedings; and
• Keeping discussion focused on items listed on the agenda.
Members should avoid common mistakes that can make meetings unproductive, including but not limited to:
• Lack of control at the meeting, appearing unfair, being unable to bring issues to a vote and wasting pe ople’s
time.
The Staff Liaison and all members are responsible for compliance with the Texas Open Meetings law. Meetings of
all Boards, Commissions and Corporations are open to the public. All meetings shall be held in such a fashion that
all participants have assigned seating with clearly visible nameplates. Board Members must take care to speak into
the microphone at all times while in session. If a meeting is recorded with only audio and no video, each person
must identify themselves prior to speaking. Prior to initiating a closed or “Executive Session,” the Staff Liaison and
Chair shall receive approval from the Town Attorney.
Prior to any meeting, the Chair and Staff Liaison shall prepare an agenda describing actions to be taken by the
group. The agenda shall be prepared in a format approved by the Town Attorney and shall be posted in compliance
with State law.
The Chair shall allocate sufficient time for both applicants and opponents of an issue to present their information.
Regardless of whether an agenda item is listed as a public hearing item or not, members of the public shall be
given a reasonable opportunity to present their information and opinions, unless the group is meeting in a
workshop session. The Chair must allocate and manage the time to be allotted and shall use discretion based upon
the agenda, the Council Rules of Procedure and other factors; provided however, that the Chair shall have the
discretion to allow additional time without objection by a majority of the Board, Commission or Corporation.
The Chair shall endeavor to see that all persons attending or participating in meetings are treated with respect and
dignity. All members must refrain from prejudicial or stereotypical comments. All members must refrain from
questioning that takes the form of “badgering” or “debating” with those providing testimony.
All members need to be cautious of publicly representing their positions beyond the scope of the business at hand.
The official position of the Town shall be represented only by Town staff, as established by the Town Council.
Conduct in meetings
Board, Commission, and Corporation members should act in a professional manner. If a resident presents a
complaint to the Board, Commission, or Corporation at a meeting the information should be taken and referred to
Staff to reply to the resident.

Responsibilities of the Chair
Each Board, Commission, or Corporation shall have a Chair/President. A Board, Commission, or Corporation at the
Council’s discretion, may be asked to make a recommendation for a Chair with the final determination left to the
Council. The Chair should have some experience as a member of the group. The Planning and Zoning Commission’s
chair will be determined entirely by the Council.
The Chair must act as the “leader” and take responsibility for the group’s efficient and meaningful operation. The
Chair must ensure that roles are clearly spelled out, meetings are efficiently conducted and necessary information
is readily available, which helps create a good working environment.
Appointment of a Chair
The Council will have final determination on the appointment of a Chair for each Board, Commission and
Corporation. Following the appointment of a new Chair, the Mayor or his or her designee and a Staff Liaison will
arrange a meeting with the new Chair to review this Handbook and share ideas on how to run an effective
meeting.
The Chair should manage the meeting to ensure that:
• A few members do not monopolize discussion or questions;
• Appropriate time is taken for presentation and discussion;
• Dialogue and interactions are maintained in a courteous and professional Manner;
• Minutes of each Board, Commission, and Corporation meeting are taken and maintained by the Staff Liaison;
• Staff and members treat each other with mutual respect at all times;
• Discussion is limited to those items on the agenda. However, the Chair /President or Staff Liaison may place
any item on a future agenda for discussion;
• All Board, Commission, and Corporation meetings shall be recorded as required by the Texas Open Meetings
Act.
The Chair must ensure that effective communication exists between Board, Commission, Corporation, Council,
Staff and the public. This requires frequent interaction with the Staff Liaison and Council Liaison to the Board,
Commission, or Corporation. The Town Manager is responsible for ensuring that that the Staff Liaison is efficient in
providing requested technical assistance and information to members. This includes helping to develop
appropriate rules and procedures for the group in order to complete its duties. It also requires preparation of
proper meeting notices and agendas, gathering and relaying pertinent information in a timely fashion to members
and providing support at meetings. If the Staff Liaison is not effectively operating in this manner, the Chair should
Town Council Page 37 of 312 Meeting Date: February 10, 2015
Handbook for Elected and Appointed Officials Page 8 of 8
first discuss the issue with the Town Manager. If satisfactory results are not achieved, the Chair should next
contact the Mayor and Council Liaison to the Board, Commission or Corporation if a Council Liaison has been
named.
It is the responsibility of the Chair to be mindful of the attendance, actions and activities of individual members, as
well as to discuss with these members any deviations from the rules.
The Chair shall be responsible for communicating to the Staff Liaison any requests to be placed on the Town
Council agenda for consideration.
The Chair and Staff Liaison shall define the scope, objectives and criteria for completion of any project to be
undertaken by the group that has not been referred directly from Council. This should be done prior to the
initiation of all projects. For items referred to a Board, Commission or Corporation by Council, it is the
responsibility of the Chair and Staff Liaison to see that proceedings of the Board, Commission or Corporation fulfill
the direction provided by Council in whole and in a timely manner, with appropriate information and context.
Prior to a Board, Commission or Corporation undertaking any project or initiative that requires the expenditure of
funds, other than those authorized in the approved Town budget, such initiative or project shall be submitted to
the Staff Liaison for action by the Town Manager.
Responsibilities of the Staff Liaison
A member of the Town staff will be assigned to each Board, Commission, or Corporation. The Staff Liaison shall not
assume the responsibility or task of the group. Rather, the Staff Liaison shall provide information that group
members need to perform their obligations. The Staff Liaison shall also serve as a communication link between
members of the group and the Town staff. The Staff Liaison shall be responsible for making periodic reports to the
Town Council regarding the activities of his/her Board, Commission or Corporation. The Staff Liaison, when
appropriate and in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, shall place an item on the agenda for his/her
designated Board, Commission or Corporation to allow the Council Liaison to provide an update regarding the
actions, direction and input of the Town Council.
Responsibilities of the Council Liaison and Council members
A member of the Town Council may be assigned as liaison to each Board, Commission, or Corporation. The Council
Liaison shall not assume the responsibility or task of the assigned body. The Council Liaison shall serve as a
communication link between the Board, Commission or Corporation and the Town Council. The Council Liaison
shall make periodic reports to the Town Council regarding the activities of their assigned Board, Commission or
Corporation.
In order to maintain appropriate separation of responsibilities between Council and boards, Council Liaisons and
Council members are expected to exercise restraint in providing input to boards, but if they choose to do so, shall
clearly and definitively state that they are providing input as an individual and do not represent the Council as a
body in any way. Council members may freely speak before any Board, Commission or Committee on behalf of
their own personal interest and concerns; in which case, they shall publicly state the nature of their interest and/or
concern and that they are appearing only in their private capacity. The Council Liaison should communicate with
the Chair throughout the year to ensure Boards, Commissions and Corporations focus on their missions and roles
and to stay abreast of board activities. Council Liaisons should be accessible to Board, Commission and Corporation
Chairs to offer feedback and guidance. Council members and Council Liaisons may address a Board, Commission
or Corporation and express his or her individual opinion when that Board, Commission or Corporation is addressing
a matter that personally impacts the Council Liaison or his or her personal property or interests; however, all other
statements made by Council members or Council Liaisons shall reflect the opinion, advice or direction of a majority
of the Town Council.

MINUTES FROM REGULAR SESSION TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
FOR THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB
LOCATION: 100 MUNICIPAL DRIVE, TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS
Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 6:00 P.M.
Svore Municipal Building Boardroom
The Town Council of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas, met in a Regular Session on Thursday, December 18, 2014.
The meeting was held within the boundaries of the Town and was open to the public.

Mayor Sanders announced the date of Thursday, December 18, 2014 called the Town Council to order and
announced a quorum at 6:06 p.m.
The Invocation was offered by Mayor Sanders.
The Pledges were led by Town Manager Slye.
SPECIAL SESSION JOINT MEETING WITH THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
JOINT SESSION
1. Consider and take appropriate action regarding a Meritorious Exception for a sign package proposal located
at 301 Trophy Lake Drive, and being located in Planned Development District 21 (PD-21).
The Planning & Zoning Commission was unable to obtain a quorum of Planning & Zoning Commissioners and their
meeting was cancelled. Council did convene and deliberate the Meritorious Exception but cannot take action
because the Council cannot make a decision without a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission
making a decision.
The Papa Murphy’s (going in The Plaza shopping center) owner has requested a signage package to help advertise
the stores grand opening, but the Planned Development language is restrictive in regards to types of temporary
signage allowed. The owner is requesting an exception to these regulations as allowed through Planning & Zoning
Commission and Town Council.
Town Council Page 110 of 312 Meeting Date: February 10, 2015
Staff’s recommendation is to allow the business owner to execute their planned marketing plan until such time as
the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council can convene to formalize the request. The Town does not expect to
be able to issue a Certificate of Occupancy until December 29th at the earliest.
Town staff does not advocate that the business owner take any action in violation of ordinances, but may proceed
at their own risk when determining whether or not signage is used before receiving final approval from Town
Council. The Code Enforcement department operates on a complaint driven system and unless complaints are
received about the signage we would not proactively investigate.
CONVENE INTO SPECIAL SESSION - START TIME – 6:16 P.M.
SPECIAL SESSION
2. Review and take appropriate action regarding the site plans for the joint Town Hall and Police facility with
GSBS Architects.
Bill Rose, 219 Inverness, addressed the Council regarding the following:
∼ Sale/Lease of property - Mr. Rose indicated that if the Town is unable to obtain a lease from Trophy Club MUD
No. 1 without an interim termination clause in it then the Town would be better off planning to incorporate all
of our needs in the new structure.
∼ Road/Waterline - Ability to place a Road around a new tank location and the difficulty that incurs is the
outside maintenance area that goes around the tank begins to limit the space in addition if you move the tank
there is a waterline and you would need to move the waterline and that would be very expensive. Mr. Rose
stated based upon this he would recommend taking the road out of the master plan and plan on expanding
the building to meet the Town’s full needs.
Mayor Sanders gave a brief history letting the citizens know how the Town Council got to where it is today
regarding this facility. A Town Hall & Police Facility subcommittee was established to look at refinements. The
subcommittee consisted of Mayor Sanders, Council Member Parrow and Council Member Reed. Back in August
Council agreed that they did not see that a joint facility would be greater than roughly 26,000 square feet and did
not vet using the public services annex building and how it might be used. This allows for the police portion of the
building to be slightly over 12,000 square feet and a Town Hall portion of roughly 14,000 square feet. The Town
Hall & Police Facility subcommittees was tasked with working through this with the Architect and refine the details.
The subcommittee decided they will allow staff to determine their needs based upon the space the Council agrees
to.
Mayor Sanders made this public statement regarding the Methodist Church:
There is nothing definitive decided or negotiated between the Methodist Church and the Town of Trophy Club. We
are in talking stages. It began with some old drawings of what might fit on the property. The church pulled out their
master plan, they have some objectives to solve some parking issues. We are trying to address these issues, but it is
a dialogue at this point. The Town did go out and get the property surveyed and did contract to get an appraisal
done and at this point the church is getting an appraisal done and at some point we will work through that issue
and wanted to make sure everyone understood that there is no real decision made by either party, we are
exploring.
Tom Batenhorst, Architect with GSBS Architects provided an overview of the plans by department for the joint
Town Hall and Police facility, and several possible building and parking lot layouts.

Attachment C – Site Plan Option B
Town Council Page 111 of 312 Meeting Date: February 10, 2015
Attachment D – Site Plan Option C
Attachment E – Site Plan Option D
Jim Thomas, 7 Meadowbrook Lane spoke as a MUD Director and wanted to clarify some items regarding the
lease/sale of the public services/annex building. The MUD Board is open to a long term lease. The MUD Board is
assuming where ever the Town builds the new building that the office spaces occupied in the Svore Building will be
freed up.
Council Member Parrow wanted to go on record stating that he appreciates Mr. Batenhorst with GSBS on the work
he has done to take us from over 42,000 square feet down to what we have looked at tonight; between Mr.
Batenhorst and staff we have been able to reduce the structure down to what the Town needs, what the citizens
will probably be willing to approve and it took a lot of hard work. Council Member Parrow wanted to publicly say
thank you for the hard work that has been done to get us to where we are tonight and to move us forward with
these discussions.
Various items were discussed by the Town Council, including:
• Council Chambers (current boardroom 1300 SF)
∼ Size
∼ Seating
o Stadium seating (slanted floor)
o Moveable Chairs (flat floor) – council prefers the flexibility of the flat floor and moveable chairs with
wall divider’s
• Community Rooms
• Storage
• Animal shelter
• Utility Access/Road
• Access from Town Hall building to the Annex building – possibly sidewalk, covered vs not covered, enclosed vs
not enclosed
• Square footage requirements
∼ 19,111 SF as presented
• Budget
• May 2015 bond election or November 2015 bond election
• Direction regarding the aesthetic of the building
• Topography of the land
Susan Edstrom, 269 Oak Hill Drive thanked council for including space for the animal shelter in the plans. Susan
spoke in favor of a LEED certified building.
Bill Rose, 219 Inverness spoke in favor of a LEED certified building in addition to speaking in reference to the Annex
building and that the Town does not own that building.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
3. Pursuant to Texas Government Code, Annotated, Subchapter 551, Council will convene into closed
executive session as authorized by Section 551.072 Deliberations about Real Property to deliberate the
purchase, exchange, lease, or value of real property if deliberation in an open meeting would have a

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, and benefits to the parties, IT IS
AGREED as follows:
I. ADMINISTRATION
The parties agree to hold a “Joint Election” with each other in accordance with Chapter 271 of the Texas Election

participating authority’s voters.

to ten percent (10%) of its total billable costs in accordance with Section 31.100(d) of the Texas Election Code.

fund(s) within the county treasury in accordance with Election Code Section 31.100.

Appearance locations, that entity agrees to pay the entire cost for that request.

Re: Town Council Meeting, Tuesday, February 10, 2015
Agenda Item:
Consider and take appropriate regarding projects to be completed by the Citizens Financial
Advisory Board (CFAB) and associated priorities.
Explanation:
The Town Council of Trophy Club Citizens Financial Advisory Board (CFAB) has finished evaluating the
RFP for Parks services and has now completed all of the Town Council assigned tasks. The Citizens
Financial Advisory Board is requesting direction on projects. A list of projects was created that CFAB
could offer assistance:
1. Vehicle Replacement Policy – Review the existing replacement scheduling, and assisting staff to
develop a point system metric, or similar method, to determine vehicle and capital equipment
replacement.
2. Liquidation Policy – The Town would like to explore options to dispose of Town property other
than auction or trash. There are occasions when these methods render lower values than other
alternatives. The policy needs to analyze updated so that Towns has the flexibility to get the
most for its assets when it comes time to dispose of them.
3. Preparation of the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) – The Town of Trophy Club has never
prepared a PAFR. The PAFR was created by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
to encourage and assist local governments to extract information from their Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to produce high quality annual financial reports specifically
designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other
interested parties without a background in public finance. This report can be submitted to GFOA
for recognition.
4. Continue review of the Trophy Club Park financial position
Recommendation:
The staff recommends that the Council direct CFAB to assist staff with review of these priorities.
