COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 9-24-2007
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.4
Discuss and take appropriate action to ratify the property tax increase
reflected in the previously approved Town Budget for the fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2007, and ending September 30, 2008.
EXPLANATION:
With the recent passage of House Bill No. 3195, in addition to adopting the budget or
voting to set the tax rate, which we currently achieve via two (2) different agenda items,
legislation now mandates that the adoption of a budget that requires raising more
revenue from property taxes than in the previous year, also requires a separate vote of
the governing body of a city to ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget.
Furthermore, the same statement identified below must be included as a cover page in
18-point or larger type.
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION BY COUNCIL: Approve ratification of the property tax increase reflected in the
previously approved Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007, and ending
September 30, 2008 as follows: “I move that this budget will raise more total
property taxes than last year’s budget by $271,769 (not including rollback) or
9.4%, and of that amount, $95,266 ($22,128,652 new taxable value) is tax revenue
to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.” MINUTES MUST
REFLECT THE VOTE OF EACH MEMBER.

TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS
RESOLUTION NO. 2007
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS, REPEALING RESOLUTION NOS. 2006-24,
AND ADOPTING A NEW RESOLUTION FOR THE ANNUAL

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION A, ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION B, PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION, TREE BOARD, ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT,
AND PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD; DESIGNATING TERMS OF
SERVICE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Town of Trophy Club, Texas, benefits by having its citizens
involved in local government through service on Commissions; and
WHEREAS, the Trophy Club Town Council is charged with the responsibility of
making appointments to the Boards and Commissions serving the Town whose terms
are expiring and to replace members who have resigned; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Trophy Club adopted Resolution No. 2006-24 on
November 20, 2006 appointing citizens to serve on EDC 4A, EDC 4B, Planning and
Zoning Commission, Tree Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and the Parks and
Recreation Board; and
WHEREAS, by passage of this Resolution, the Town Council hereby repeals
Resolution No. 2006-24 in its entirety and adopts this Resolution making new
appointments as specifically provided below:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
Section 1. That Resolution No. 2006-24, is repealed in its entirety.

At some point in the process, a mistake occurred resulting in 5 member’s term
expiring one year and 2 in the following year instead of staggering the appointment
of 3 members one year and 4 the next. Since the bylaws provide for a 2 year term
the appointment of one member is only for 1 year to even out the staggering.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 9-24-2007
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.7
Discuss and provide input regarding the following documents and matters
related to the Trophy Club Public Improvement District No. 1 (The
Highlands at Trophy Club) for infrastructure and related improvements:
A. Service and Assessment Plan for authorized public improvements
B. Discussion of Parkland Improvements for the PID and related Town
parkland improvements.
C. Acquisition, Funding, and Construction Agreement
D. Indenture of Trust for the proposed bond issuance to finance public
improvements.
E. Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum
EXPLANATION:
Service and Assessment Plan. The current draft is the same as previously reviewed
and is not included.
Parkland Improvements. As previously discussed, the input received from the
Attorney General was that additional information on the proposed parkland
improvements would be required prior to the issuance of PID bonds. The park
study being conducted by Carter and Burgess is not yet complete. At the
October 1, 2007 meeting, additional information will be provided and a full
discussion regarding the parkland improvements will be on the agenda. This
item is added as a subtopic in order to allow staff to update Council.
Acquisition, Funding, and Construction Agreement. This document was drafted by
Bond Counsel, Lila Marsh and the redline comments are those of the developer.
The primary topic for which staff seeks input on this item relates to security for
the developer portion of the project and for cost overruns. The value of the
dedications total $4,004,433, and the estimated cost to be borne by the
developer for the public improvements is $2,013,876. Under the development
agreement, the developer can receive payment on day one for half of the
dedications, the remainder are drawn down pro rata until all projects are 75%
complete. So, there is no security for cost overruns, and no security for
developer portion after the project is 75% complete. This security can be
172
required in the Acquisition, Construction, and Funding Agreement. Staff has also
discussed using the Subdivider’s Agreement to require the Developer to put up a
letter of credit or cash escrow account for the developer’s portions of the
improvements as the property is subdivided. Staff seeks Council direction.
Indenture. This document was previously provided.
Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum. This document was not included in the
previous Council packet.
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION BY COUNCIL:
