associated with the series 2002-A General Obligation Bonds; superseding the prior Service Contract between the Town

B. Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance of the Town amending the FY 2012-2013 Town Budget
to appropriate funds required for debt payment as a result of the calling of the series 2002-A General Obligation Bonds
(Budget Amendment No. 2 making a supplemental appropriation in accordance with the Town Charter); and providing an
effective date.
EXPLANATION:
In accordance with the Town’s debt restructuring plan and resolution 2012-29 passed on November 14th, the Town is
required to appropriate $660,000 from unrestricted fund balance in order to call the 2002-A General Obligation Bonds. A
budget amendment is necessary in order to make that transfer.
The Trophy Club 4B Economic Development Corporation (EDC 4B) had previously agreed to pay 25% of the debt
obligation for the 2002 Bond Issuance for $1,400,000.00 in park projects, and Trophy Club Economic Development
Corporation 4A agreed to pay 75% of that debt obligation. With the sales tax reallocation and debt restructuring, EDC4B
has agreed to pay 72% of the costs of that Project, and EDC4A’s obligation for the costs of the debt service for the
project has been eliminated. The Service Contract documents EDC4B’s obligations to pay a portion of the costs of the
project previously accepted by EDC4A.

Develop, recognize, and retain quality staff

RECOMMENDATION AND JUSTIFICATION TO COUNCIL:
By calling the 2002-A General Obligation bonds at this time the Town will realize approximately $225,000 in interest
savings. The Town will call this debt to comply with the recommended debt restructuring plan which also calls for an
interlocal agreement (ILA) between the Town and the EDC 4B which requires the EDC 4B to repay the Town $660,000 in
principal in addition to interest equal to the prime rate plus one percent (not to exceed 3%) over a period of 15 years. The
ILA will increase the EDC 4B annual debt requirements by approximately $26,974. The current annual debt obligation of
the EDC 4B is approximately $27,990. Total debt service requirement, then, will be $54,964. First payment will be
scheduled in FY14.

preclude or inhibit its participation in such other eligible projects, the Town agrees that it
will consider waiving, forbearing, or otherwise delaying the payment date of one or more
payments by EDC4B under this Contract and/or reducing the amount of or excusing one
or more of EDC4B’s payment obligations hereunder as Town determines appropriate to
allow EDC4B to fund an eligible project.

Pursuant to Section II above, EDC4B is increasing its cost participation in the
Project from twenty-five percent (25%) which was authorized pursuant to a service
contract approved by Resolution No. 2002-23 to seventy-two percent (72%). This
Contract repeals and supersedes all obligations of EDC4B and Town, including without
limitations all agreements pursuant to motions approved by EDC4B and/or Town, all
oral or written agreements between the parties, and the Service Contract referenced in

the parties under this Contract.
Section IV.
Consideration

Town, this Contract shall automatically terminate without further action being required of
the Parties. All rights, remedies and privileges permitted or available to any party

available right, remedy or privilege for that party. Additionally, one instance of
forbearance by the any party in the enforcement of any such right, remedy or privilege
against another party, shall not constitute a waiver of any other or such right, remedy or

defaulting party.

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been included in this Contract.

available to it against claims arising from the exercise of governmental powers and

The Texas Coalition for Affordable Power Recommendations for a More Competitive Electric Market
Because high energy costs can impact municipal
budgets and the ability to fund essential services, TCAP,
as part of its mission, actively promotes affordable energy
policies. Affordable power in a fully competitive market
also means economic development for our communities
and a better life for our citizens. TCAP members are
committed to making electric deregulation work.
Maintaining an even playing field for cities
Cities have a long history representing consumers in “regulated” rate cases. But big electric companies
want to deter cities from exercising any opposition so they can more easily raise rates. TCAP will work
hard at the Texas Legislature to protect city authority.
Fair Price for Electricity Produced at Home
Are rooftop solar panels installed in your community? TCAP supports legislation that will ensure that
residential and small commercial customers that produce excess power at their homes or businesses
receive a fair price for power they provide the grid.
Reduce Confusion in the Retail Electricity Market
Texans should have access to standard-language electricity deals. These deals will enhance competition
by facilitating apples-to-apples price shopping.

Contact: Randolph (Randy) C. Moravec, PhD, Executive Director
rcmoravec@tcaptx.com • (972) 742-7015
Avoid Changes in the Market that Will Increase Costs
Some of the state’s generation companies want to receive big payments for power plants, regardless
of whether any power is actually generated — and are lobbying hard for changes to make it happen.
TCAP will oppose proposals at the Legislature that create unnecessary price supports for generators that
circumvent the competitive market and increase electricity costs to consumers.
Updating Market Protections in the Lone Star State
Where appropriate, anti-competitive behavior prohibited in other states should also be prohibited in
Texas. Texas regulators should have the same power to assess penalties as regulators elsewhere. Legal
loopholes that exempt some generators from prosecution should be closed.
Promote Public-Private Electric Generation Partnerships
TCAP wants cities to have the right to pursue small-scale generation projects, just so long as the projects
enhance economic development and produce affordable power. Such public-private partnerships also
are a cost-effective way to help address the state’s long-term generation and reliability challenges.
No foreign ownership of electric distribution facilities
Texans depend on a complex network of wires to bring power to their homes. With so much at stake,
accountability is important. That’s why there should be no foreign ownership of local electric distribution
networks. When the system fails or bills go up, Texans shouldn’t have to call Madrid to complain.
Home rule cities — individually or collectively —also should be permitted to own and operate electric
distribution networks.
Hold Big Generation Companies Accountable for Market Abuses
Under Texas law, big generation companies can obtain advanced regulatory protections against future
prosecution for anti-competitive behavior. TCAP supports reforms to ensure that these advanced
protections are fair, and don’t become “Get Out Of Jail Free” cards for market abusers.

TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB
RESOLUTION 2013-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS,
ENDORSING CERTAIN LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN THE REGULAR
SESSION OF THE 83RD TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO ENHANCE THE
COMPETITIVE ELECTRIC MARKET AND SYSTEM RELIABILITY AND
TO PROTECT THE TRADITIONAL ROLE OF CITIES IN THE
REGULATORY PROCESS
WHEREAS, the Town of Trophy Club, Texas is a member of Texas Coalition for
Affordable Power (“TCAP”), a non-profit political subdivision created by cities throughout
Texas to secure affordable electric energy for its members in the deregulated electric
market; and
WHEREAS, TCAP pools the energy needs of its more than 160 political
subdivision members to negotiate favorable prices and contract terms for the purchase
of approximately 1.3 billion kilowatt hours annually; and
WHEREAS, affordable and reliable power means economic development for the
Town and a better standard of living for our citizens; and
WHEREAS, the Town supports legislative initiatives that promote a healthy
electric market where competition can flourish and electric customers can save money;
and
WHEREAS, the Town endorses the legislative agenda of TCAP and opposes
legislative initiatives that would fundamentally alter the ERCOT energy market or the
traditional role of cities in the regulatory process.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS, THAT:
Section 1. The Regular Session of the 83rd Texas Legislature be encouraged
to preserve the traditional role of cities in the regulatory process, including original
jurisdiction and reimbursement of reasonable rate case expenses.
Section 2. The Legislature make no statutory changes that would lead to a
reduction in revenues paid by public utilities as franchise fees for rental of public rights-
of-way.
Section 3. The Legislature facilitate and encourage public/private partnerships
between cities and electric generation developers in creating small-scale (not to exceed
50 MW) power plants capable of rapidly meeting peak power needs.
Section 4. The Legislature recognize that “smart meters” are under-utilized
with regard to encouraging and incentivizing reductions in energy consumption during
peak periods and that the regulated transmission and distribution utilities which own the
Town Council Page 64 of 73 Meeting Date: January 7, 2013
“smart meters” be allowed to re-enter the retail electric market to the extent they offer
regulated rate plans designed to incent reductions in peak energy consumption.
Section 5. The Legislature preclude foreign ownership of electric distribution
assets and make it clear that, notwithstanding any other provision in law, home rule
cities, individually or collectively, shall be permitted to own and operate electric
distribution assets so long as said cities are not involved in retail sales of electricity.
Section 6. The Legislature resist any efforts to transform the energy-only
ERCOT market into a capacity market which would increase the price of electricity by
artificially inflating generator profits.
Section 7. The Legislature enhance protections against anti-competitive
activities in the wholesale market and require the Public Utility Commission (“PUC”) to
reform its rules related to Voluntary Mitigation Plans and allow cities and other
interested parties to participate in review of such plans.
Section 8. The Legislature mandate that the PUC and market participants
provide consumer education regarding the relationship between time of use, cost of
energy production and transmission, and the price paid by consumers.
Section 9. The Legislature require the PUC to establish certain uniform
products that must be offered by all retail electric providers (“REPs”) and to establish
new rules governing the powertochoose.org and powertosavetexas.org websites that
will better inform retail customers of complaints against REPs and better educate
customers regarding the economic and market benefits of reducing demand during
peak periods.
Section 10. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.
Section 11. A copy of this resolution shall be sent to the elected lawmakers
representing the City’s interests in the Texas House and Senate and to Randolph C.
Moravec, Executive Director of TCAP, 15455 Dallas Parkway, Addison, Texas 75001.

TITLE
Consider and take appropriate action regarding the adoption of a new logo for the Town of Trophy Club.
EXPLANATION:
In October 2011 the Trophy Club Economic Development Corporation 4B (EDC 4B) commissioned a new logo redesign
for the town, a project that has been in discussion since 2008. After a year of gathering research, reviewing multiple
concepts, tweaking designs and working with resident groups on finishing touches, there are two final design concepts:
- The TC monogram “Flag” logo
- The TC monogram “Hill” logo
TOWN COUNCIL GOAL(S):
Goal #2: Business-Friendly Economic Development
Create effective working relationships with businesses and developers
Retain / Develop existing businesses
Promote new commercial opportunities
Goal # 3: Strong Partnerships and Community Involvement
Create a positive regional identity
Foster a well informed community
Forge collaborative relationships with other governmental and public entities
Support citizen volunteer opportunities
Promote recreational / active lifestyle opportunities for all ages
Goal #4: Healthy, Picturesque, and Environmentally Sound
Promote recreational / active lifestyle opportunities for all ages
Maintain neat and tidy appearance
Improve property maintenance standards and code enforcement
Develop / Enhance environmental and sustainability standards and programs
RECOMMENDATION AND JUSTIFICATION TO COUNCIL:
Management staff recommends Logo option A, the TC monogram resembling a flag, as presented.
After considering feedback from an informal survey, EDC 4B Directors and the Vision Committee, staff supports the
earlier recommendation (April 9, 2012 Town Council/EDC 4B joint meeting) to move forward with the TC monogram
“Flag” logo. The TC Flag logo is flexible, unique, simple and memorable. The logo is creative and reflects Trophy Club
culture while allowing for the opportunity to build a visual identity for the many facets of town government, including
economic development, Parks & Recreation, NISD school support collateral and the Police Department, for example.

The O&M ILA with the MUD to provide utility services to the PID is being reviewed by the MUD (they have established a
similar committee). They need direction from the Town on how to proceed in the future to help them plan for future
capital improvements. The MUD Manager and Town Manager have developed a boilerplate agreement and will present
to both PID Committees for discussion in the very near future. This is a very necessary action for both organizations
moving forward.

Mike:
You and I have discussed the need for revisions to the PID contracts. It is time that we decide how we will move forward
to ensure the contracts are written correctly and allow the MUD the ability to complete wastewater upgrade planning.
The major source of confusion (for me) is that we need to decide if we will continue with the current wholesale scenario
or move to a retail scenario. Below are some bullet points for a discussion that will help us decide the best way to
recommend moving forward. In order to get things moving with the wastewater plant a decision will need to be made
and contract defined in the next 60 days. Please let me know a time you are available to discuss. I realize this may be
something you want to discuss with council so I was hoping we could get together on it today or tomorrow. Thanks.
MUD ACTS AS WHOLESALE SUPPLIER
1. Wholesale contracts must be filed with TCEQ and contain certain information. The current contract does
not meet the criteria and I cannot find where it was filed with TCEQ.
Texas Water Code § 13.144. Notice of Wholesale Water Supply Contract
A district or authority created under Section 52, Article Ill, or Section 59, Article XVI, Texas
Constitution, a retail public utility, a wholesale water service, or other person providing a retail public
utility with a wholesale water supply shall provide the commission with a certified copy of any
wholesale water supply contract with a retail public utility within 30 days after the date of the execution
of the contract. The submission must include:
• the amount of water being supplied
• term of the contract
• consideration being given for the water
• purpose of use
• location of use
• source of supply
• point of delivery
• limitations on the reuse of water
• a disclosure of any affiliated interest between the parties to the contract
• any other condition or agreement relating to the contract.
2. If MUD is the wholesale supplier then Town is retail provider and must have PWS registration.
3. MUD must seek approval from City of Fort Worth
4. Contract should also define terms for payment, rate setting responsibility, and terms for participation in
offsite upgrades.
5. Agreements should also be revised to define long-term agreement for bonding purposes.
MUD ACTS AS RETAIL SUPPLIER
1. No need for contracts.
2. MUD should obtain CCN so PID not out of district.
3. Define payment for "rental" of Town infrastructure.
