Introduction
The intent of this budget message is to explain both the structure of the budget and the atmosphere in which it was
created. The budget message outlines the highlights of this year’s budget. It also discusses the City’s Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT analysis) for the upcoming year. Finally, it discusses the structure
of the budget, where revenues come from and where the money goes. The budget message should provide the
reader insight into municipal government finances and make the raw numbers more understandable.
I encourage the reader to take a few moments to read through the budget message. I believe it will give you valuable
insight into the budget process. It will also provide insight into the thinking and conditions in which the budget was
prepared.
Municipal budgets are always challenging. There simply is never enough money to fix every problem and address
every concern. While the economy remains strong, revenues are fairly flat when compared to 2016. This limits our
ability to expand services beyond what is already being provided.
2017 will see the continuance of an aggressive effort to address our deteriorating infrastructure and expand utilities to
support commercial and industrial growth. These activities are detailed in the Ten Year Capital Plan included in this
budget. This will require strong leadership from the Mayor and Council. The result will be a community that
continues to grow and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
Review of 2016
The housing market remains very strong, and demand is still high due to the shortage of housing in the area and low-
interest rates. Additional residents add to several revenue streams but also increases the need for services which is
often times offsetting, negating any revenue gains. Sales tax is trending up slightly, and we are projecting an 8%
increase in sales tax revenue. New residential and commercial construction and increased valuations are reflected in
an anticipated increase in the property tax base. We anticipate approximately a 6% increase in the property tax base
in 2016. As always, we take a conservative approach to budgeting revenues.
We continue to work on the Capital projects scheduled for this year, and many of these will carry over into next year.
The addition of water and wastewater lines on the east side of I35 between FM455 and Lois Road will begin this
summer. We are acquiring the necessary easements for the reconstruction and overlay of McReynolds Road from
Ranger Creek to FM 2164. We will be carrying over most of the $350,000 in this year’s budget for street rehabilitation
to help cover the cost of McReynolds Road to next year. Engineering and permitting are continuing on the
wastewater treatment plant with the first phase of construction anticipated for next year.
Utility Revenues are down somewhat this year due to the unusually wet spring and mild temperatures. This will
result in less of a fund balance being available at the end of the year although we do anticipate ending the year with
revenues higher than expenditures. We will do this by closely monitoring the budget and watching expenditures.

Expenditures by Classification
As you can see in the table below, overall expenditures are projected to rise by a little over 1.5%. We have been
very conservative in our budgeting and have looked at the history of each individual line item when planning next
year’s expenditures. The largest increases are in Salaries & Benefits and Debt Service. Increased Salaries &
Benefits are the result of adding two new positions in the new year. Debt Service is increasing as a result of required
payments on the Certificates of Obligation, Series 2015. Maintenance & Operations, Utilities, and Capital Expenses
are all decreasing.

Personnel
I am recommending a 2% merit raise (Range from 0-3%) for employees again this year. If there is a council desire to
increase this recommendation to 3%, this will add $ 36,000 to the proposed budget. This year we are proposing to
add two new positions. We propose adding a Lieutenant to the Police department. This will help alleviate the flat
structure currently and provide additional supervisor coverage at night. We also propose adding and event
coordinator to the recreation department. This will be our first employee in this department. Parks and recreation
continue to increase the number of events annually and have plans on adding, even more, necessitating the need for
this position. This person will also fulfill the administrative assistant role for both Parks and Fire.
Operating Expenses
We do not directly control many of our operating expenses like health care costs and the price of fuel. Absorbing
these costs can leave very little extra money left for the expansion of services. Any proposed increases in operating
costs must be accompanied by written justification from the department head. All of the department heads have
done a good job in their proposed budgets of keeping operating expenses in check. One big unknown this year is
health insurance costs. We will not know these numbers until late summer. Because we allocate a set amount to
each employee for insurance benefits, this will not impact the proposed budget.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 3 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Capital Projects
Capital projects this year will be quite extensive. Capital projects are discussed in detail in the Capital Improvement
Plan included in the overall budget. In summary, capital projects will include reconstruction and resurfacing of
McReynolds Road in conjunction with Denton County and Extension and expansion of sewer lines along the east
side of I35. We will also be replacing the Cowling Rd. Lift Station and Force Main. We anticipate applying for a
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for replacement of Water, Waste Water Lines, and Street
reconstruction along Plum St. from 5th to 10th Streets. This will also help relieve anticipated traffic congestion along
Chapman Rd (FM 455) when TXDOT begins its widening project along FM455. 4B has committed funds for
extending the trail system at Porter Park to the parkland on the east side of I35. This project is in design. We
applied for a grant to fund a portion of this project but were not successful.
Reserves
The Council set a goal of increasing emergency reserves to $2,000,000 we realized that goal at the end of the 2014
Budget Year. The resolution also created a “Storm Reserve Fund”. This fund is funded by 2% of electric utility
revenue and is intended to be used in the event of extensive storm damage to the City’s infrastructure. The storm
reserve fund will end the year with approximately $640,000 in reserve.

Summary
While there are some structural changes in the budget, operationally there will be few changes. The staff has
prepared a proposed budget with cautious optimism for 2017 that addresses both our short term and long term
needs. As always we will closely monitor both revenues and expenses throughout the year and adjust accordingly as
conditions dictate.
BUDGET MESSAGE

SWOT Analysis
A SWOT analysis is a look at the City’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). It is intended to
give the reader a strategic perspective of current and future issues. These issues have an effect on both revenues
and expenditures.
Strengths
The local economy remains strong as indicated by the increase in construction and low unemployment. The area
continues to see a large influx of new residents each year and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable
future. Sanger’s location is one of its greatest strengths and something we aggressively market.
Rail and Interstate access and developable industrial land also top the list of Sanger’s strengths. Commercial
interest in the industrial property has picked up in the last year. We continue to utilize the information developed by
The Retail Coach to assist us in recruiting retailers and other business. We are also extending utilities along the east
side of Interstate 35 to entice new businesses and industry to the City.
Another asset is the quality of life enjoyed by the citizens of Sanger. Sanger residents have access to all of the
amenities of the metroplex while enjoying life in a quiet, small town atmosphere. Access to Lake Ray Roberts is also
a quality of life asset and an economic boost for Sanger. The new sports park has been a tremendous quality of life
improvement for our citizens as well. It is well used and has been well received by the citizens. It has also been a
tremendous advertising tool for Sanger. Last year we added a splash park to replace our obsolete swimming pool.
This is also a quality of life improvement for our citizens to enjoy. In 2016 the 4B board has authorized funding for
the expansion of the trail system to the East side of I35. This will be the first phase in the development of the 55
acres of parkland on the opposite side of the interstate from Porter Park.
Sanger Electric is another strength enjoyed by the City of Sanger. Sanger Electric generated almost $7,500,000 in
gross revenue last year. This revenue not only supports the Enterprise Fund but the General Fund, and Storm
Recovery Fund as well. Without this revenue, property taxes and other utility fees would need to be much higher.
Sanger also enjoys having both a 4A and 4B economic development board. Each of these boards generates
approximately $300,000 annually in revenue. These monies have allowed Sanger to compete economically and
make the quality of life improvements. 4B funds are currently being used to pay for the debt service on the Porter
Sports Complex and other projects. 4A funds were used to purchase a 51,000 square foot warehouse for job
creation. It has been leased creating jobs as well as a positive cash flow in rent. This year 4A will continue assisting
with the extension of utility lines for development of additional industrial properties.
Sanger has approximately $2.6 Million set aside in Contingency Reserve Funds for use in the case of emergency.
Eventually, every City faces some type of disaster. Be it a tornado, flood, ice storm or another disaster two things are
certain; the City will need money for the recovery efforts, and traditional revenue sources will be negatively impacted
at the same time. Having these funds on hand will help us recover as quickly as possible without destroying us
financially.
Weaknesses
To a large extent cities in Texas are dependent on property taxes to fund their general revenue operations. In
Sanger, approximately 40% of general fund operating revenues come from property tax. The weakness here is that
almost half of the property tax in Sanger comes from residential improvements (See Figure 1 below). Demand for
service is much higher from residential properties than from commercial properties. This means that, when averaged
out, residences rarely pay the full amount in property tax for the services they receive from the City. Commercial
properties, however, typically generate more property tax than they require in services. Growing our commercial

property tax base is essential to providing quality service to our customers while limiting the property tax burden on
our residents. Recruiting more industrial and commercial development continues to be a priority.

Personal Property
Another weakness is median home prices in Sanger. While the median home price in the DFW Metro area is around
$200,000, the median home price in Sanger is half that. This results in a much lower tax income per lot than in other
areas. We need to diversify our housing mix to include houses in higher price ranges that generate higher property
taxes. This will also help alleviate the tax burden on families with lower incomes and those with fixed incomes. We
have seen a better mix and a higher average home cost this past couple of years. As a result, we see our average
valuation increase. We need to proactively encourage this trend to help eliminate this weakness.
Another weakness that stifles growth is the fact that as the city limit expands, we add areas that are not in our water
supply CCN. Because the water supply corporation that serves these areas does not provide fire protection,
development is severely limited. Recent legislation has alleviated this to some extent by providing a mechanism to
transfer the CCN. However, the issue still remains a hindrance to growth due to the costs associated with the
transfer.
Opportunities
Industrial Development
As mentioned under strengths, Sanger is uniquely located to service both North Texas and Southern Oklahoma and
has hundreds of acres of developable land with both interstate highway and rail access. Not only are these
properties being marketed by the land owners but the City is also marketing these properties through the Greater
Dallas Chamber of Commerce. Sanger must capitalize on these industrial prospects and aggressively market its
strengths. To do this will require additional investment in infrastructure to ensure that industrial sites are “shovel
ready” when companies are ready to move. To that end, plans are in the works to extend water and wastewater lines
to potential industrial sites along I35 to entice industrial development. We are also working with private developers to
develop shovel-ready industrial parks to spur industrial growth.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 6 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Residential Development
There have been 39 new home starts so far in Fiscal Year 2016. The average assessed value remained a little over
$100,000 for single-family residents in 2015. It is important that this growth is diversified across a wide range of the
housing market from starter homes to homes that exceed $500,000 in price. Homes in higher price ranges generate
higher property taxes but typically require the same amount of services as homes of lesser appraised value. This
allows the City to provide services at a lower tax rate, saving everyone on their property taxes. Currently, the
average home value in Sanger is approximately $100,000. At that value, a home will generate approximately $665 in
City property tax each year. In comparison, a $250,000 home generates $1662 at the same tax rate. Simply put,
higher priced homes translate into lower property taxes and increased services for everyone.
Commercial Development
Commercial development will follow residential development. Sanger is experiencing some commercial growth and
should see more as the area’s population increases. The good news is that Sanger has plenty of developable
commercial property. The bad news is some of the large tracts available for commercial development lack
infrastructure (water and sewer) on site. As with industrial development, we need to extend water and sewer into
these areas to make them more attractive for development. In 2016 new water and sewer lines were extended along
the West side of I35 to promote commercial development. The City must continue to promote commercial
development, especially development that generates both property and sales tax.
Threats
One threat that bears close watch is the increased cost of health insurance. We will not know until late in the budget
process if we will face an increase this year or not but an increase is highly likely. Many aspects of healthcare reform
continue to take effect. These new requirements will raise the cost of providing health insurance for both the City and
its employees.
Another significant threat is action taken by the State Legislature. Cities will take multiple hits this year as the State
reduces State funding for programs, keeps more revenue for themselves and passes new unfunded mandates that
will cost the cities money to implement. In their quest to balance the budget without raising taxes, they are
significantly impacting budgets and services at the local level. A general downturn in the economy is another
potential threat, while the local economy is booming worldwide it is softening. It is imperative that we monitor it
closely and stay ahead of any downturn.
Understanding the Municipal Budget
This section is intended to give the reader an overview of how the budget works. Municipal budgets are governed by
Federal and State Statutes and local regulations. The intent here is not to explain every requirement for municipal
budgeting but to discuss generally how the budget works.
The City operates six major funds. They are the General Fund, Enterprise Fund, 4A Economic Development Fund,
4B Economic Development Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Improvement Fund. These funds are explained in
detail below. The City’s fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th each year. The budget process
begins in the spring of each year internally. Budget workshops are held during the summer of each year with the City
Council and economic development boards. Public hearings are also held on the budget. The budget must be
approved and next year’s property tax rate set before October 1st each year (see Timetable for Adopting the Budget).
When the economy is volatile, such a lengthy process can lead to financial issues down the road. For example, a
road project that is scheduled to begin in the summer would be estimated in the spring of the previous year, over a
year earlier. Due to market volatility, the actual cost could be significantly higher or lower than estimated. This can
occur frequently in government and is usually not understood by the public.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 7 Annual Budget 2016-2017
To a great extent the City works on a pay as you go basis. Revenues must be sufficient to cover expenses.
Sometimes this can create some short-term issues because of the timing of revenues. For example, the largest
revenue stream in the General Fund is property taxes. However, we do not receive the bulk of these funds until the
second quarter of the fiscal year (January – March). This means that other revenues must be used to cover
expenses in the first quarter and that discretionary expenses (like buying new vehicles) are usually deferred until
after the first quarter.
Because the City cannot spend money it does not have, it must find an alternative method of financing large
infrastructure projects. Replacing or adding new roadways, water lines, sewer lines and drainage improvements are
very expensive. After paying for operations, most cities do not have sufficient funds left over to pay for these
improvements as they are done. Therefore, cities sell municipal bonds to pay for these improvements up front. The
bonds are then paid off over a period of time, spreading the expense over a number of years. The City must pledge
either property tax or some other revenue like utility fees toward repaying the bonds. The downside is that these
pledged funds cannot be used for other purposes in future years. This means that long-term debt must be managed
and controlled so that necessary improvements are made without hamstringing future budgets.
Another important point is that revenue numbers in the budget are estimates of what we think will be collected next
year. The monies you see in revenue are not sitting in the bank October 1st waiting to be used. If revenues do not
meet projections, then expenditures must be curtailed to meet those shortfalls. If revenues exceed projections, then
excess fund balances at the end of the year can be used to build up reserves, do capital projects or supplant next
year’s revenues.
Understanding Property Tax
Property Taxes are historically the primary funding source for General Fund operations. The property tax calculation
process can be very complicated. Having a basic understanding of how it is calculated and the rules involved is
essential in making sound decisions on the property tax rate. Because of the way the rate is calculated, decisions
made about the rate this year will impact future year’s budgets as well.
Property tax valuations run more than a year behind. For example, at the beginning of each year, the Tax Assessors
office determines the taxable value of property for the year before. They then send notice to property owners of the
assessed value of their property. Property owners then have an opportunity to protest that value if they feel it is
unfair. The County Tax Assessors office hears the disputes and then certifies the Total Net Taxable Valuation for the
City sometime around the end of July. The City then sets the rate for the upcoming year with the taxes due in
January. Therefore, the taxes collected in January of 2017 are based on property values determined for 2015 and
certified in 2016. This is why increases or decreases in property tax collections lag behind overall increases or
decreases in property values.
The property tax rate is made up of two components; the Interest and Sinking (I&S) rate and the Maintenance and
Operation (M&O) rate. The I&S rate is the rate necessary to generate enough revenue to service the debt on bonds
pledged against the property tax. The M&O rate is the portion of the property tax used for day to day operations of
General Fund departments. The I&S rate is set by the Assessor’s office based on the net taxable valuation and the
amount of debt. (Debt/Valuation= I&S tax rate). The City does not determine this rate, although it is included in the
overall rate set by the city.
Two key rules apply when determining the tax rate. The first is the Effective Rate. The Effective Rate is the rate that,
based on this year’s valuation, will service the debt (I&S rate) and raise the same amount of revenue as was raised
last year for M&O. The Effective Rate may be higher or lower than the year before depending on a decrease or
increase in the total valuation and increase or decrease in debt service.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 8 Annual Budget 2016-2017
The second term is the Rollback Rate. To oversimplify, if a City sets the tax rate so that it will generate more than
108% of the revenues generated last year, it is subject to the filing of a petition by the voters to send the tax rate to
an election. If the City stays under 108%, it cannot be challenged by petition.
When a City sets the tax rate for the year, it is really determining the M&O rate since the I&S rate is a function of
taxable value and debt. This is important for a number of reasons. First, any rate set below the Effective Rate
means a decrease in revenues. This decrease in revenue comes 100% from M&O revenue. Second, if total
valuation falls (as happened in 2010) and debt also decreases, the Effective Rate will be higher than the Rollback
Rate. This means that to raise the same amount of operating funds in 2010; we would have had to exceed the
Rollback Rate. While this is a rare occurrence for a growing City, it drives home the fact that setting the tax rate
needs to be based on a number of factors considered together.
Tax rates can vary widely between cities. For example, there are 88 Cities in Texas with a population between 5,000
and 10,000. Property taxes range from $0.1468/$100 to $0.957898/$100 in those cities. The maximum a home rule
city can charge is $2.50/$100. Net Taxable Valuations also vary widely and are the primary factor in determining
what rate a city needs to charge to pay for debt and operations. Two examples help to clarify this point. The first is
Highland Park with a net taxable valuation of over 4.5 Billion. Highland Park’s tax rate is only $0.22/100, but it
generates over $10,000,000 a year in revenue. On the other end of the spectrum is the city of Mathis with a tax rate
of $0.957898. Mathis’ net taxable valuation is only $85,987,583 and generates revenue of $823,763. So, even
though Mathis’ rate is over four times higher than Highland Park’s, it generates less than a tenth of the revenue.
I do not suggest any increase lightly and in fact, would like to see us lower the tax rate over time. However, until we
start growing our commercial property tax base, this will be difficult to achieve. The key is growing our total net
taxable value without adding a greater burden on services than what we receive in additional revenue. Again, this
will require adding commercial property to the tax rolls. As stated earlier, new residential properties, while increasing
the tax role, also increase service demand and are usually break even at best.
General Fund
The General Fund is the fund used to finance the operations of general government. The General Fund includes
Public Safety, a portion of Public Works, Community Services, Sanitation, and a portion of Administrative and
Support Services. Public Safety includes; Police, Municipal Court, Animal Control, Code Enforcement, Fire and
Ambulance departments. Sanitation is solid waste (Sanitation is contracted out to a third party operator).
Community Services include; Development Services and the Library. The park and recreation and street
departments are shown on their own to more clearly show the portion of the general fund spent on these
departments. Internal Services include Administration, Custodial, Finance, Fleet Maintenance and Human
Resources.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund revenues come from a myriad of sources Including property tax, sales tax, court fees, Fire and EMS
revenues and franchise fees. By far, the largest revenue stream is property tax. Due to growth and appreciation of
property values, Sanger has enjoyed increasing property taxes over the last twelve years.

Property Tax Revenue Growth
General Fund revenues do not cover expenditures. The difference is made up by the transfer of excess revenues
from the Enterprise Fund. These funds come primarily from the Electric utility. Without these funds, property taxes
would have to be increased or services severely cut to balance the budget. The Transfer in 2016 was budgeted at
$200,000. It is projected at $150,000 for 2017. Typically, due to cost savings throughout the year, this transfer for
operations is not necessary, and we have used these funds to build up reserves. This will likely not be the case this
year due to lagging utility revenues caused by the wet weather and mild winter.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 10 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Enterprise Fund
The Enterprise Fund is made up of utility departments including Water, Wastewater, and Electric. Enterprise utilities
are intended to generate more revenue than is needed for operations. This excess revenue is used to pay for
infrastructure improvements and support the General Fund to defer higher property taxes. Not only does the Electric
Utility generate the bulk of gross revenues, but it also produces the majority of excess revenues. In fact, after adding
capital costs to operating costs the Water and Wastewater Utility barely break even. Fortunately, we have locked in
the rate we pay for wholesale electric through May of 2019, so no significant increases in Electric rates are
anticipated.
Recently the State has mandated that regional groundwater districts be established statewide to manage
groundwater resources. To pay for the district's water producers will have to pay a fee on the water removed from
the ground. We are calculating that this will cost Sanger about $36,000 a year. The staff is proposing increasing the
base rate for water by $2.00 to cover this additional expense imposed by the regional water district.
One increase we have to absorb in the electric utility is the increase in transmission and congestion costs we pay.
This cost has risen by over 60% in the last three years and continued to rise. These costs are regulated by the
electric reliability council of Texas and are used partially to help pay for new transmission lines from West Texas to
other parts of the State. The staff is also recommending a $1.00 increase in the base electric rate to cover increased
transmission costs.
The staff is recommending a 7.5% rate increase in sewer rates next year to pay the interest only bond payment for
the Cowling Road lift station replacement and phase one of the rehabilitation and expansion of the wastewater
treatment plant. Full payment of the bonds in future years will require additional increases over the next two to three
years. These rate increases will pay the bond debt without having to rely on property tax to do so. The staff is
proposing a 5% increase in water rates to cover cost increases both in ground water and water purchased from
Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
Expenditures in the Enterprise Fund are overwhelmingly spent on Public Works as they should be. Expenditures
include daily operations of the utilities, capital improvements, and debt service on bonds for capital improvements.
Internal Service Fund
The internal service fund includes departments with responsibilities in both the General and Enterprise Funds. The
Internal Service Fund allows us to show the department's entire budget in one place, making it more transparent and
easier to manage. The departments include Non-Departmental costs, Mayor and Council, Administration, Public
Works Administration, Finance and Fleet Services. Instead of each department having a separate budget for each
fund, those departments have a single budget in the Internal Service Fund. This makes it easier for the reader to
see the true cost of the department without having to look in two different places. It also streamlines cost allocation
internally.
Economic Development Funds
Under Texas Law, certain municipal governments can establish Economic Development Corporations for the
purposes of attracting economic development and other limited purposes. These corporations are overseen by
boards appointed by the City Council. Sanger is one of the few Cities that has both a 4A and 4B Economic
Development Corporation. Both of these corporations receive revenues from a separate ½ cent sales tax. This
sales tax generates around $300,000 each year for each of the corporations.
Due to changes in legislation the 4A board can now fund projects authorized under either 4A or 4B statutes. This
gives us the flexibility to combine 4A and 4B funds if we need to for either industrial development or to enhance the
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 11 Annual Budget 2016-2017
quality of life. Historically this money has been used to pay off the debt for the land associated with the Wal-Mart
Distribution Center. Over the years, the 4A Board has also built up a healthy reserve. The 4B Board can fund any
project authorized under the 4A statutes. In addition, the 4B Board can fund improvements in other areas including
parks and recreation. Historically 4B monies have been used to help fund infrastructure improvements, park and
recreation improvements and, most recently, the new Splash Pad. The 4B Board also maintains a modest reserve
and is currently committed to servicing up to $180,000 annually of the 2009 CIP for the new sports park and $32,500
per year for the splash park debt service. The 4B Board has also committed $300,000 to The Porter Park Trail
linkage.
Thanks to these two boards the City of Sanger has been able to provide economic development incentives and make
park and recreation improvements that it simply could not afford otherwise. While these funds can only be used for
limited purposes, having them frees up other revenues for other purposes.
Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund
The Debt Service Fund is where long term, property tax funded debt is paid. The Capital Projects Fund is where
expenditures on Capital Projects are paid. Both debt service and capital projects serve as internal service funds
used for accounting purposes.
Hotel/Motel Tax Fund
These expenditures are tightly regulated by state law. To ensure that these funds are spent appropriately, they are
placed in a separate fund and not commingled with the General Fund.
Conclusion
Revenue growth will allow us to maintain current service levels and continue to maintain and repair infrastructure this
year. This means continuing to fill potholes and repave streets, replace old water and wastewater lines, build
sidewalks and maintain our parks in an attractive condition.
Staff have worked hard and kept up with their responsibilities even when short staffed. They have willingly accepted
cross training so they could help out in other departments when needed. They have been very frugal with spending.
I want to commend all of our employees for their hard work and dedication this year
I also want to thank the Mayor and Council for their continued support and leadership. The Mayor and Council have
had to make some hard decisions. They have poured much thought into those decisions and haven’t flinched when
doing the right thing was not going to be popular. The Citizens of Sanger are fortunate to have such people guiding
the City.
The municipal budgeting process can be confusing, especially when looking only at the raw numbers. We have
worked hard to make the budget more transparent and understandable. I think you will see even more improvements
and transparency this year. However, the budget is still just numbers. The budget message explains the meaning of
those numbers. It is intended to shed light on the budget process and provide a general overview of its structure. It
is also intended to shed light on the thoughts and concerns that went into formulating the budget. I hope you have
found it helpful.

I want to thank Jim Berman, Parks and Recreation Director, for taking the lead on preparing this year's budget
message.
BUDGET MESSAGE
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 12 Annual Budget 2016-2017
This plan addresses capital improvement needs in the City of Sanger over the next ten years in the areas of Streets,
Thoroughfares, Sidewalks, Drainage, Water Lines, Wastewater Lines, Parks and other Facilities. The plan discusses
needs in each area funding sources for projects expected in FY 2017.
As in any city with older infrastructure, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure is an ongoing and
never ending process. It is easy to get behind and hard to catch up. Over the last five years more and more
resources have been dedicated to infrastructure maintenance and replacement and several projects have been
completed. We have rebuilt several thoroughfares including portions of Keaton Road, Freese Drive, Railroad Avenue
and Cowling Road. We have replaced several thousand feet of deteriorated Wastewater Lines. We have rebuilt
three major drainage structures and rehabbed several smaller ones. We have purchased and remodeled a new
police station and remodeled the Municipal Court. This is a trend that needs to continue as we try to catch up with
our aging and ailing infrastructure.
At the same time, we must expand our water and wastewater lines into areas that are prime for commercial and
industrial development. We recently completed expansion of water and sewer service on the west side of I35. This
year will see the first phase of expansion on the east side of I35. While residential development is nice, commercial
and industrial development produce far more revenue and are less of an impact on services. Commercial and
Industrial development also create jobs for our citizens and improve the quality of life.
Over $100,000,000 in water, wastewater, roads and drainage projects have been identified that should be completed
in the next ten years. This includes the two big ticket items of expanding the wastewater treatment plant and
expanding FM 455.
To spur economic growth, the Council issued $4,500,000 in bonds in 2013 to fund extending water and wastewater
lines into industrial and commercial areas. The objective is to attract new businesses to these areas that will help
fund future improvements such as rehabbing and expanding the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, these
bonds helped pay for two new water wells completed in 2016 and the splash park completed in 2014. The water
wells will ensure we have sufficient water to meet peak demands while maintaining sufficient fire protection reserves.
These wells have been completed and will soon be tied in to the system. The sale of these bonds represents a
proactive step by the Council to facilitate commercial and industrial growth.

FM 455 Expansion Issues
One issue looming on the horizon is the relocation of utilities for the expansion of FM 455. For us that includes
water, wastewater and electric utilities. We have had some preliminary discussions with TXDOT and the County on
who will pay for these relocations. However, at this time, no funding sources have been identified.
Another big issue with the expansion of FM 455 will be traffic congestion during construction. We hope to have
McReynolds Road completed before FM 455 begins to help relieve some of the congestion. We are also working on
a CDBG grant to rebuild Plum Street from Fifth Street to Tenth Street to alleviate some of the congestion through
town. To do this we also need to replace the water and sewer lines along plum. Our ability to accomplish this in time
will depend on the award of the Grant and the timing of FM 455 construction.
Water Capital Projects
The Water Capital Reserve Fund began the year with a balance of approximately $1,450,000. $900,000 of these
funds were recently approved by Council to help pay for the new water well on the west side and the new water line
along I35 from FM 455 to Belz Road. With additional fee collected so far this year, the balance as of June 1, 2016 is
approximately $550,000. In the future, some of these funds will be used to make fire protection improvements as
identified in the 2010 Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan (Plum Street Water Line) and for the
extension of water service along the East side of I35 to View Road. Future projects, as funds come available; will
include additional line extensions for development and to tie the system together for better fire protection and more
efficient operations.
New regulations imposed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will mandate that we make
improvements at our intake point where we receive water from Upper Trinity. A rough estimate for these
improvements is in the $150,000 range. This is due to the blending of ground water and surface water and the
conflicting ways they are disinfected. Even though we have not experienced any problems, we must still comply with
the new regulations. In consultation with Perkins Engineering we have looked at several options to meet the
regulations. This option seems the most workable and the least expensive in the long term.
TEN YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 14 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Wastewater Capital Projects
Development along the I35 corridor is accelerating the need to extend wastewater lines to the area. This will also
accelerate the need to upsize the trunk line running back south on the east side of I35. To move this project along,
the Council authorized the selling of bonds to help fund these projects. We started the first phase of construction on
these projects in 2015 and completed it in 2016. The second phase, upsizing the wastewater line on the east side of
I35, will hopefully begin this fall.
To create more revenue for wastewater infrastructure improvements we started setting aside 10% of monthly
wastewater revenues in 2014. The current balance in this fund is $331,633. We are using these funds to address
I&I issues and replace older wastewater lines in conjunction with street improvements. We intend to use these funds
to replace the line along plum before street reconstruction.
We currently have $1,244,000 in waste water tap fees. We have used these funds primarily to pay for the design,
engineering and permitting of the waste water treatment plant refurbishing and expansion. As that phase of the
project comes to an end we will have the opportunity to use these funds on other projects identified in the Capital
Improvement Plan.
At the recommendation of Alan Plummer and Associates, Council decided to refurbish and expand the existing waste
water treatment plant rather than build a new one in January 2014. Engineering, design and permitting are in their
final phases. Construction is programmed to begin in late 2017 or early 2018. This will be a multi-year project.
The Cowling Road lift station is quickly reaching capacity and needs to be replaced. This will also require replacing
the force main with a higher capacity main. Design and engineering began in 2016 and will continue this year.
Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2017. 2015 Bond funds will be used for this project.
Streets and Thoroughfares
Many streets in Sanger are in dire need of rehabilitation. The last few years we have concentrated our efforts on
improving the thoroughfares that carry the most traffic. This does not mean that there are not residential streets that
are in as bad or worse condition. However, focusing on thoroughfares as our priority gives us the greatest positive
impact for the most people. If funding can be secured in the future, Marion Rd., Bolivar from 5th to the Service road,
Belz Rd. and Duck Creek will also be candidates for improvement.
Plans this year call for the reconstruction of McReynolds Road. This will be funded through County Funds and
Sanger Street Funds. This project has been severely delayed because of the inability to secure easements from a
small number of land owners. This delay, in turn, has prevented us from rehabilitating interior residential streets
because we do not know how much McReynolds road is going to cost. This has forced us to hold the majority of our
street improvement funds in reserve. We will be going to bid this summer and finally Identifying the cost of
McReynolds Road. We will then know what funds, if any, we have available to start work on interior residential
streets. If funds are available, we plan on reconstructing Plum Street from Fifth to Tenth so that it can serve as a
reliever during the FM 455 widening.
FM 455 is scheduled for widening in the next few years. It is anticipated that funding for this project will come from
County road construction bonds and TxDOT. However, there may be some cost to the City with associated utility
relocation.
Reconstruction of the Cowling Road Bridge over Clear Creek is another need. This bridge is on TxDOT’s off system
bridge list for reconstruction but it is not funded at this time. The cost is likely to be well over $4,000,000, which
means it will have to wait for TxDOT funding.
TEN YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 15 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Sidewalks
We made great strides on sidewalks in the last few years. Sidewalks were extended almost the entire length of
Keaton Road from FM 455 to the sports park. Our goal is to connect existing sidewalks and add new ones that allow
pedestrians to travel throughout town without having to walk on busy streets. Although some of these sidewalks will
pass through residential neighborhoods, the goal is not to build residential sidewalks but to create paths that link
subdivisions with destinations such as schools, parks, downtown and commercial areas. We normally budget
$50,000 per year for sidewalks, so the work will have to be done in phases. Other portions will be done in
conjunction with other projects such as the future widening of FM 455 and McReynolds Road.
Phase I will be to connect existing segments and create a central loop. This phase will provide access between five
of the seven schools, Downtown, and several neighborhoods and subdivisions. This year we will be extending the
sidewalk along Keaton Road North from its termination at Keaton and Holt.
Phase II will link the other two schools to the inner loop. It will also connect the Sable Creek and Ranger Creek
subdivisions to the system.
Phase III connects the Quail Run and Lake Ridge subdivisions to the system, creates an old town loop and connects
Switzer Park. It also extends the sidewalk up 5th street to FM 455.
Phase IV extends the system along FM 455 from Metz Road to Marion Road. It also connects the Sanger Trail
Apartments and subdivision to the system. This section needs to be done along with or after the road is widened.
Once completed, sidewalks will link every school and major subdivision. Links will also provide walking access to the
new sports park, public facilities and business areas throughout town without having to walk on busy streets.
Parks and Facilities
We have finally begun the restoration of the Historic Presbyterian Church. This project has been delayed for years
due to the lack of funds. A fundraising effort by the Sanger Area Historical Society to raise funds for the restoration
began about two years ago. The 4A and 4B Development Corporations also contributed funds to this project. The
project should be complete in early fall of 2016, weather permitting.
Another small project being done in 2016 is the remodeling of offices at the old police station located at 301 Bolivar.
Once completed, the Public Works Offices will be moving over there. This will free up additional space at 201 Bolivar
for Community and Economic Development and Parks and Recreation. This project is being paid for out of the
existing 2016 Budget.
By far our greatest and most expensive facility need is rehabilitation and expansion of the wastewater treatment
plant. The cost of this project will be in the range of $10,000,000 and will have to be financed over the long term by
bonds. Financing this plant will significantly encumber our ability to do other projects for several years. However,
this project is necessary to handle future growth.
Facility needs that are farther out on the horizon include: Expansion of the library and a new fire station. A remodel of
the community center also needs to be considered as it is becoming worn and dated. Farther out will be a recreation
center and building a second fire station. Many of these are expensive projects that would require bond funding.
Therefore, they may not be feasible until a good portion of our bond debt is retired in 2021.
4B has committed funds for extending the trail system at Porter Park to the parkland on the east side of I35. This
project is in design. We applied for a grant to fund a portion of this project but were not successful. Other parks
projects as identified in the parks master plan will soon undergo a prioritization process involving the community,
TEN YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 16 Annual Budget 2016-2017
parks board, 4B board and City Council. Once prioritized, these projects will be programmed in as funds are
available.
Conclusion
As you can see, a myriad of projects is planned over the next ten years and they will keep us very busy. Many of
these projects will go unseen to most citizens but they all directly impact the quality of life in the community by
ensuring reliable utilities, safe streets and sidewalks and adequate public facilities. It is important to note again that
even after all of this work is complete, there will still be other needs arise as our infrastructure continues to age. Like
every City, we will continue the struggle of balancing needs and resources to maintain current facilities and
infrastructure, prepare for growth and improve the quality of life in our community.
Adequate funds for large capital projects will continue to be a hindrance until other bond issues begin paying off in
2021 and until we grow sufficiently to expand the tax base. For the last two years we have diverted more resources
for infrastructure rehabilitation. You will see expenditures in the 2017 proposed budget for such improvements as
street reconstruction, new sidewalks, water and wastewater line replacement, wastewater plant rehabilitation and
expansion and electrical system improvements. As future revenues improve we need to channel more funds toward
these needs.
This plan identifies and prioritizes our most pressing needs in capital improvements for the next ten years. Some
parts of the plan, like sidewalk improvements, project out further than ten years for comprehensive planning
purposes. Revenue sources are identified for those projects ongoing this budget year. As with any plan it will
change over time and it will be updated on an annual basis to keep it current and relevant.

The City of Sanger, Texas Page 18 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Revenue projections are looking favorable for next year. With the expected increases in sales tax and property tax
revenue available we are proposing to offer a merit raise to current employees and add two additional positions to the
proposed budget.
As always there is a direct correlation between revenues and staffing. In 2016 we added two additional full time
firefighter/paramedics positions, staffed with part time personnel, and one full time position to the Water Department.
This gives us four Fire personnel on duty 24 hours a day. This allows for much more flexibility in responding to
emergencies. It also brings us into compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards of
four personnel on scene for initial fire attack. This is the next step in transitioning from a combination paid/volunteer
department to a fully paid department. A full transition will take several more years to complete.
This year we are proposing to add two new positions. We propose adding a Lieutenant (Detective) to the Police
Department. This will help alleviate the flat command structure currently and provide additional assistance with the
investigation caseload which is steadily increasing. We also propose adding an event coordinator to the Recreation
Department. This will be our first employee in this department. Parks and Recreation continue to increase the
number of events held annually and have plans on adding even more events in the future, necessitating the need for
this position. This person will also fulfill the administrative assistant role for both Parks and Fire.

Note 1: Includes salary and benefits. Figure does not include additional equipment, vehicles, or training.
We continue to experience an upturn in new construction and interest in developing new subdivisions. If this
continues, and even increases, we will need to add additional personnel to both water and electric to keep up with
new service demand as well as routine maintenance. As we expand our parks we will need to add additional
personnel there as well.
Additional residents will also place greater demands on public safety. This will require additional police officers and
firefighters to meet these growing needs. The Police Lieutenant (Patrol), programmed for 2018, will provide
additional supervision and manpower at night. He or she would also help with some of the routine administrative
duties. The Fire Lieutenants, programmed for 2018 and 2019, will give us supervisory coverage on all three shifts.
Currently only one shift has a lieutenant with the other two shifts being covered by part time officers. In future years
additional police officers and firefighters will be needed to respond to increasing call volumes.
PERSONNEL PROJECTION 2017 - 2021
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 19 Annual Budget 2016-2017
These needs are based on projected growth and increased demand for service. Obviously, they will also require
growth in revenues as well. It is hard to anticipate future revenues so the plan needs to remain flexible. We must
also take into account other costs like vehicles, equipment, training and added maintenance when adding additional
staff. Our goal is to staff adequately to provide service that is both efficient and effective, while operating within the
confines of current revenues. We also want to be as sure as possible that any additional staff can be sustained
should revenue streams slow down. I believe that this personnel plan meets these goals.

The fiscal year of the City of Sanger begins on October 1st and ends on September 30th of the following calendar
year. This fiscal year establishes both the budget year and the accounting year.
The budget is developed at a departmental level. In March, the Finance Director develops worksheets that detail
expenditures for the past four years, year to date balances as of March 31st, and projected totals through the end of
the current fiscal year. Upon completion, these worksheets are distributed to individual departments for review and
completion. Each department prepares an estimate for their projected totals through the end of the fiscal year and
estimates for the upcoming year. For any increases or addition of new items to the budget, departments will
document the justification for the requested increases. Once the departments have completed the worksheets, they
are returned along with any supporting documentation to the Finance Director.
Revenues are projected based on historical trends, the current economic climate and expected future trends.
Personnel expenses are prepared based upon the current year, adjusted as necessary for staffing changes or
changes in the cost of benefits. Utility expenses are projected based on the current and prior years, modified where
applicable due to utility rate changes or changes to City facilities.
The departmental budget worksheets are combined with revenues, personnel and utility expenses to prepare a
working budget, which is reviewed by the City Manager. A budget team consisting of the City Manager, the Finance
Director and the Parks and Recreation Director meets with each department to review and discuss the requested
budget in detail. These meetings assist the City Manager in determining his priorities for the budget.
A series of public budget workshops are held with the City Council, allowing for citizen input for the budget process.
These workshops allow the City Council to formulate its priorities for the proposed budget. Following these
workshops, the proposed budget is formulated. This proposed budget is filed with the City Secretary and public
hearings on the budget to allow for citizen input. Following the public hearings, the budget is ready to be adopted.
The budget may be adopted at any regular or special meeting of the City council prior to the beginning of the fiscal
year. On final adoption, the budget is in effect for the budget year. During the year, the City Council may amend or
change the budget to provide for any additional expense.

The Debt Service Fund accounts for the receipt of funds from a tax levy and other sources for the accumulation of
funds to meet the principal and interest obligations on General Fund Obligations.
The State of Texas limits the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for all City purposes. The
City’s adopted tax rate of $0.551806 for maintenance and operations plus $0.127694 for debt service equals the total
tax rate of $0.6795, which is well below the maximum rates allowed by law.

OVERVIEW
The City of Sanger, Texas was incorporated in 1886 and operates under a Council-Manager form of government.
The City provides general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, water, sewer and
electricity operations.
HISTORY
Sanger was founded in 1886 as a stop on the Santa Fe Railroad. Cattle from the ranches of north Denton County
were driven up the old cattle trails through Sanger to northern markets. The cattle industry of the prairies of north
Denton County contributed to the founding of the town, and wheat growing contributed substantially to its economy
as did the production of oats, maize, millet and cotton. Santa Fe named Sanger in honor of one of its customers, the
Sanger family who owned stores in Waco and Dallas. The F.M. Ready family was the first to settle in Sanger in
October 1887, the same year as the first engine and caboose arrived. In 1920 the building of a state highway that
connected Sanger and Dallas helped compensate for the declining rail business.
Cattle and other livestock are raised around Sanger, and there are several horse farms for the breeding and training
of registered stock. The oldest continual business was Wilson Lumber Company, founded by Andy Marshall Wilson
in the 1890s. His son, T. C. (Tilford Clifton Wilson), expanded the business and was the longest serving city
councilman and mayor in Sanger history. Wilson Lumber Company was finally sold by the family in 2001, becoming
Denton County Building Supply.
LOCATION
Sanger is strategically located along Interstate 35 in
Northern Denton County. The City occupies 10.9
square miles along Interstate 35.
Its location offers residents and businesses direct
access to the amenities of a major metropolitan area,
extensive labor market, airports and top universities
while still retaining a small town quality of life. Sanger
is approximately 50 miles from Downtown Dallas and
50 miles from Downtown Fort Worth. Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport is 38 miles away.

ABOUT SANGER
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 138 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Introduction
The City of Sanger, Texas financial policies set forth the basic framework for the fiscal management of the City.
These policies were developed within the parameters established by applicable provisions of the Texas Local
Government Code and the Sanger City Charter. The policies are intended to assist the City Council and city staff in
evaluating current activities and proposals for future programs. The policies are to be reviewed on an annual basis
and modified to accommodate changing circumstances or conditions.
The scope of these policies generally spans accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal controls, operating and
capital budgeting, revenue management, expenditure control and debt management, all to make it possible both: (a)
to present fairly and with full disclosure the financial position and results of financial operations of the City in
conformity to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and (b) to determine and demonstrate compliance
with finance-related legal and contractual provisions.
It is the goal of the Statement of Financial Management Policies to enable the City to adhere to the principles of
sound municipal finance and to continue its long-term stable and positive financial condition.
Annual Budget
1. The fiscal year of the City of Sanger shall begin on October 1 of each calendar year and will end on
September 30 of the following calendar year. The fiscal year will also be established as the accounting and
budget year.
2. The City Manager, prior to August first of each year, shall prepare and submit to the City Secretary the
annual budget covering the next fiscal year. The budget shall provide a complete financial plan of all city
funds and activities and, except as required by law or the City Charter, shall be in such form as the Council
may require. The budget shall contain the following information:
a. The City Manager’s budget message outlining the proposed financial policies for the next fiscal
year with an explanation of any changes in expenditures from the previous year, any major
changes in policies, and a complete statement regarding the financial condition of the City.
(Proposition 1 approved at an election held November 7, 2006 and certified by Resolution 11-19-06
adopted November 20, 2006.)
b. An estimate of all revenues from taxes and other sources, including the present tax structure,
rates, and property valuations for the ensuing year;
c. A carefully itemized list of proposed expenses and revenues by fund, service type, and project for
the budget year, as compared to actual expenditures and revenues of the last ended fiscal year
and the projected final expenditures and revenues for the current fiscal year;
d. A description of all outstanding bond indebtedness, showing amount, date of issue, rate of interest,
and maturity date; also any other indebtedness which the City has incurred and which has not
been paid;
e. A statement proposing any capital expenditures deemed necessary for undertaking during the next
budget year and the recommended provision for financing; and
f. Such other information as is required by City Council or deemed desirable by the City Manager.
3. The City Manager’s budget should assume, for each fund, operating revenues that are equal to or exceed
operating expenditures. The City Manager’s budget message shall explain the reasons for any fund that
reflects operating expenditures exceeding operating revenues.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 139 Annual Budget 2016-2017
4. The City Council shall hold a public hearing on the budget, as submitted, at the time and place so
advertised in the official newspaper, which will be no less than seven (7) days or more than fifteen (15) days
after the date of notice. All interested persons shall be given the opportunity to be heard, either for or
against, any item of the proposed budget.
5. The budget and tax rate may be adopted at any regular or special meeting of the Council prior to the
beginning of the budgeted fiscal year by a majority vote of a two thirds (2/3) quorum. The Council may
amend the proposed budget by increasing, decreasing, or removing any programs or amounts, except for
expenditures required by law, for debt service, or for estimated cash deficit. No amendment to the budget
shall increase the authorized expenditures to an amount greater than the total of estimated income plus
funds available from prior years.
6. If the Council fails to adopt a budget by the beginning of the fiscal year, the budget currently in place for the
preceding year shall remain in place on a month-to-month basis until such time as a new budget has been
adopted.
7. On final adoption, the budget shall be in effect for the budget year. Final adoption of the budget by the City
Council shall constitute the official appropriations for the current year and shall constitute the basis of the
official levy of the property tax. Under conditions which may arise, the City Council may amend or change
the budget to provide for any additional expense.
Capital Program
1. The City Manager shall submit a five-year capital improvement program (CIP) as an attachment to the
annual budget. The CIP shall induce the following:
a. A clear, general summary of its contents;
b. A list of all capital improvements which are proposed for the five (5) fiscal years including the
budget year, with appropriate supporting information as to the necessity for such improvements;
c. Cost estimates, method of financing and recommended time schedules for each improvement; and
d. The estimated annual cost of operating and maintaining the facilities to be constructed or
acquired.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
1. The City’s finances shall be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
a. The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups.
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.
Account groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets and liabilities of the
governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds.
b. Governmental fund types 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 enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
Substantially all revenues are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Ad valorem, sales, hotel,
franchise and tax revenues recorded in the General Fund and ad valorem tax revenues recorded in
the Debt Service Fund are recognized under the susceptible to accrual concept. Licenses and
permits, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, and miscellaneous revenues (except earnings
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 140 Annual Budget 2016-2017
on investments) are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally 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 currently available
financial resources.
c. The City utilizes encumbrance accounting for its 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 appropriation.
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 liabilities are incurred.
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
3. The issuance of Statement 34 by GASB 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 those funds into other governmental funds.
Budget Administration
1. All expenses of the City shall be made in accordance with the adopted annual budget. Budgetary control is
maintained at the individual expenditure account level by the review of all requisitions of estimated purchase
amounts prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors.
2. The following represents the City’s budget amendment policy delineating responsibility and authority for the
amendment process. Transfers between expenditure accounts in one department may occur with the
approval of the City Manager and Finance Director Transfers between operating departments may occur
with the approval of the City manager and Finance Director provided that a department’s total budget is not
changed by more than $50,000. Transfers between funds must be accomplished by budget amendment
approved by the City Council. Budget amendments calling for new fund appropriations must also be
approved by the City Council.
Financial Reporting
1. At the close of each fiscal year, and at such other times as it may be deemed necessary, the Council shall
direct that an independent audit be made on all accounts of the City by a certified public accountant. The
certified public accountant shall have no personal interest directly or indirectly, in the financial affairs of the
City or any of its officers and shall report directly to the Council. Upon completion of the audit, a summary of
the results thereof shall be placed on file in the City Secretary's office for public record. A copy of the
comprehensive financial annual report shall be available at City Hall.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 141 Annual Budget 2016-2017
2. The City Manager shall submit to the Council a monthly report of the financial condition of the City by
department for the fiscal year-to-date. The financial records of the City will be maintained on a modified
accrual basis to support this type of financial management. The City Manager shall make available to the
Council the monthly cash disbursements journal of the City of all funds and accounts.
Revenues
1. To protect the City’s financial integrity, the City will maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to
shelter it from fluctuations in any one revenue source. Recognizing that sales tax is a volatile, unpredictable
source of revenue, the City will attempt to reduce its dependence on sales tax revenue.
2. For every annual budget, the City shall levy two property tax rates: operation/ maintenance and debt
service. The debt service levy shall be sufficient for meeting all principal and interest payments associated
with the City’s outstanding general obligation debt for that budget year. The debt service levy and related
debt service expenditures shall be accounted for in the Debt Service Fund. The operation and maintenance
levy shall be accounted for in the General Fund. City Council will consider exceeding the rollback rate only
after options have been presented by staff to avoid the rollback by increasing revenue from other sources or
reducing expenditures.
3. The City will maintain a policy of levying the lowest tax rate on the broadest tax base. Minimal exemptions
may be provided to homeowners, senior citizens, and disabled veterans. The City may consider providing
tax abatements or other incentives to encourage development.
4. The City will establish user charges and fees at a level that attempts to recover the full cost of providing the
service.
a. User fees, particularly utility rates, should identify the relative costs of serving different classes of
customers.
b. Where possible, utility rates should be designed to reduce peak (hour and day) demands on the
utility systems.
c. The City will make every reasonable attempt to ensure accurate measurement of variables
impacting taxes and fees (e.g. verification of business sales tax payments, verification of appraisal
district property values, and accuracy of water meters).
5. The City will attempt to maximize the application of its financial resources by obtaining supplementary
funding through agreements with other public and private agencies for the provision of public services or the
construction of capital improvements.
6. The City will consider market rates and charges levied by other public and private organizations for similar
services in establishing tax rates, fees and charges.
7. When developing the annual budget, the City Manager shall project revenues from every source based on
actual collections from the preceding year and estimated collections of the current fiscal year, while taking
into account known circumstances which will impact revenues for the new fiscal year. The revenue
projections for each fund should be made conservatively so that total actual fund revenues exceed
budgeted projections.
Operating Expenditures
1. Operating expenditures shall be accounted, reported, and budgeted for in the following major categories:
a. Operating, Recurring Expenditures
i. Salaries and Benefits
ii. Supplies and Materials
iii. Maintenance and Operations
iv. Contractual Services
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 142 Annual Budget 2016-2017
v. Utilities
vi. Capital Replacement
vii. Other Expenses
b. Operating, Non-Recurring Expenditures
i. Capital Equipment
2. The annual budget shall appropriate sufficient funds for operating, recurring expenditures necessary to
maintain established (i.e. status quo) quality and scope of city services.
3. The City will constantly examine the methods for providing public services in order to reduce operating,
recurring expenditures and/or enhance quality and scope of public services with no increase to cost.
4. Salaries and benefits expenditures will reflect the minimum staffing needed to provide established quality
and scope of city services. To attract and retain employees necessary for providing high-quality service, the
City shall maintain a compensation and benefit package competitive with the public and, when quantifiable,
private service industries.
5. Supplies and materials expenditures shall be sufficient for ensuring the optimal productivity of City
employees.
6. Maintenance and operations expenditures shall be sufficient for addressing the deterioration of the City’s
capital assets to ensure the optimal productivity of the capital assets. Maintenance should be conducted to
ensure a relatively stable level of maintenance expenditures for every budget year.
7. Utility expenditure providers shall, when options are available, be selected on the basis of the provider’s
competitive pricing and service.
8. The City will utilize contractual services for the provision of city services whenever private contractors can
perform the established level of service at less expense to the City. The City will regularly evaluate its
agreements with private contractors to ensure the established levels of service are performed at the least
expense to the City.
9. Capital equipment is defined as equipment that exceeds $5,000 and has a useful life of at least one year.
Bulk purchases of smaller equipment with a useful life of at least one year will be capitalized if the total
amount of the purchase exceeds $25,000. Existing capital equipment shall be replaced when needed to
ensure the optimal productivity of City employees.
10. Expenditures for additional capital equipment shall be made only to enhance employee productivity, improve
quality of service, or expand scope of service.
11. Expenditures for other expenses not included in the categories above shall be made strictly on the basis of
economic and business merit, ensuring the best possible return on each dollar spent.
12. To assist in controlling the growth of operating expenditures, operating departments will submit their annual
budgets to the City Manager during the budget preparation process. Departments shall provide justification
where projected expenditures exceed prior year budgeted amounts.
Fund Balance
1. The annual budget shall be presented to City Council with each fund reflecting an ending fund balance
which is no less than 25 percent of that fund’s annual operating expenditures. To satisfy the particular needs
of individual funds, ending fund balances may be established which exceed the 25 percent minimum.
2. Fund balance that exceeds the minimum level established for each fund may be appropriated for non-
recurring capital projects or programs, reserves or as the Council directs.
3. The City will exercise diligence in avoiding the appropriation of fund balance for recurring operating
expenditures. In the event fund balance is appropriated for recurring operating expenditures to meet the
needs of the Sanger community, the budget document shall include an explanation of the circumstances
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 143 Annual Budget 2016-2017
requiring the appropriation and the methods to be used to arrest the future use of fund balance for operating
expenditures.
Fund Transfers
1. With the exceptions noted below, there will be no operating transfers between funds. Any costs incurred by
one fund to support the operations of another shall be charged directly to the fund.
2. Fund transfers may occur when surplus fund balances are used to support non-recurring capital expenses
or when needed to satisfy debt service obligations.
3. Transfers are permitted between funds to support economic development programs.
4. Transfers are permitted from the Enterprise Fund to other funds to cover the cost of operations.
Debt Expenditures
1. The City shall have the right and power, except as prohibited by law or the City Charter, to borrow money by
whatever method it may deem to be in the public interest.
2. The City shall have the power to borrow money on the credit of the City and to issue general obligation
bonds for permanent public improvements or for any other public purpose not prohibited by law and the City
Charter and to issue refunding bonds to refinance outstanding bonds previously issued. All such bonds or
certificates of obligation shall be issued in conformity with the laws of the State of Texas and shall be used
only for purposes for which they were issued. General obligation bonds shall not be issued without an
election. In all cases when the City Council shall order an election for the issuance of bonds of the City, it
shall, at the same time, state whether or not a tax rate increase is anticipated for the purpose of paying the
principal and interest on the bonds and to create a sinking fund for their redemption.
3. The City shall have the power to borrow money for the purpose of constructing, purchasing, improving,
extending or repairing public utilities, recreational facilities, or any other self-liquidating municipal function
not prohibited by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas, and to issue revenue bonds to
evidence the obligation created thereby. Such shall be a charge upon and payable from the properties, or
interest therein pledged, or the income therefrom, or both. The holders of the revenue bonds shall never
have the right to demand payment thereof out of moneys raised or to be raised by taxation. All such bonds
shall be issued in conformity with the laws of the State of Texas and shall be used only for the purpose for
which they were issued.
4. When needed to minimize annual debt payments, the City will obtain insurance for new debt issues.
Capital Project Expenditures
1. The City will develop a multi-year plan for capital projects, which identifies all projects likely to be
constructed within a five-year horizon. The multi-year plan will reflect for each project the likely source of
funding and attempt to quantify the project’s impact to future operating expenditures.
2. Capital projects will be constructed to:
a. Protect or improve the community’s quality of life.
b. Protect or enhance the community’s economic vitality.
c. Support and service new development.
3. To minimize the issuance of debt, the City will attempt to support capital projects with appropriations from
operating revenues or excess fund balances (i.e. “pay-as-you-go”).
Purchasing
1. All purchases and contracts over $3,000 shall conform to Chapter 252, Subchapter B of the Local
Government Code of Texas, as amended. Purchases of goods or services over $50,000 shall be submitted
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 144 Annual Budget 2016-2017
to the City Council for approval. The adoption of the annual budget gives the City Manger the authority to
approve all other purchases for goods or services in accordance with each department’s approved budget.
2. Purchases of goods or services at a total cost of $1,000 or more must be made through the City’s purchase
order system. Written purchase orders shall also be used for vendors requiring formal City authorization
regardless of dollar amount.
3. Purchases of goods or services at a total cost of less than $1,000 may be made via a written Accounts
Payable Voucher, signed and submitted by the applicable Department Director to the Finance Department.
4. All invoices approved for payment by the proper City authorities shall be paid by the Finance Department
within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt in accordance with provisions of Article 601f, Section 2 of the State
of Texas Civil Statutes.

Investment Policy
For the City of Sanger, Texas
Approved September 15, 2014
I. POLICY STATEMENT
It is the objective of the City of Sanger, Texas (“City”) that the administration of its funds and the investment of those
funds shall be handled in the highest public trust. Investments shall be made in a manner which will provide the
maximum security of principle invested through limitations and diversification while meeting the daily cash flow needs
of the city and conforming to all applicable federal, state, and local statutes, rules and regulations governing the
investment of public funds. The receipt of a market rate return will be secondary to the requirements for safety and
liquidity. The earning from investments shall be used in a manner that best serves the public trust and interest of the
City. This policy serves to satisfy the statutory requirements of defining and adopting a formal investment policy and
shall be reviewed annually for modifications. It is the intent of the City to be in compliance with local law and the
provisions of Public Funds Investment Act of the Texas Government Code Chapter 2256.
II. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to the investment activities, all financial assets and funds held by the City of Sanger,
Texas. Funds covered and managed by this Investment Policy include:
A General Fund – Used to account for resources traditionally associated with government, which are not
required to be accounted for in another fund.
B. Debt Service Fund – Used to account for resources to be used for the payment of principle, interest and
related costs on debt.
C. Enterprise Fund – Used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business enterprises.
D. Capital Improvement Fund – Used to account for resources to enable the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities which are not financed by enterprise funds, internal service funds, or trust funds.
E. Special Revenue Funds – Used to account for proceeds from specific revenue sources which are
restricted to expenditures for specific purposes.
1. 4A Fund
2. 4B Fund
3. Employee Benefits Fund
III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
It is the policy of the City that all funds shall be invested in conformance with state and federal regulations, applicable
bond ordinance requirements, and adopted Investment Policy.
In accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act, the following prioritized primary objectives, in accordance with
the Texas Government Code Section 2256.005(d) apply to the City’s investment strategy. Listed in order of their
priority, these objectives encompass:
A. Suitability – Understanding the suitability of the investment to the financial requirement of the City
is important. Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for all City funds.
B. Safety – Preservation and safety of principal are the primary objectives of the Investment Policy.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of
capital in the overall portfolio. To obtain this goal, diversification is required in the portfolio’s
composition. The suitability of each investment decision will be made on the basis of these
objectives. The City prefers to invest in money market accounts, certificates of deposits, and
United States government backed agency discount notes.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 147 Annual Budget 2016-2017
C. Liquidity – The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet operating
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. The City’s investment portfolio will remain
sufficiently liquid and enable it to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated.
D. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget cycle to provide
cash flow based on the anticipated needs of the City. Diversifying the appropriate maturity
structure will reduce market cycle risk. Diversification of the portfolio will include diversification by
maturity and market sector and will include the use of a number of brokers/dealers for
diversification and market coverage. Competitive bidding will be used on each sale and purchase.
E. Yield – Attaining a competitive market yield, commensurate with the City’s investment risk
constraints and cash flow characteristic of the portfolio, is the desired objective. The City’s
investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints and the
cash flow of the portfolio. “Market rate of return” may be defined as the average yield of the current
three-month U.S. Treasury Bill or such other index that most closely matches the average maturity
of the portfolio. The City’s objective shall be a reasonably safe yield rate in accordance with
payment schedules and other investment goals.
Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. Cash management is
defined as the process of managing monies in order to ensure maximum cash availability. The City shall maintain a
comprehensive cash management program which includes collection of accounts receivable, prudent investment of
its available cash, disbursement of payments in accordance with invoice terms and the management of banking
services. The City staff will follow the “Prudent Person” statement relating to the standard of care that must be
exercised when investing public funds as expressed in the Texas Government Code Section 2256.006(a-b). The
Investment Officers shall avoid any transactions that might impair public confidence in the City’s ability to govern
effectively. The governing body recognizes that in diversifying the portfolio, occasional measured unrealized losses
due to market volatility are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s investment
return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented. The prudence of the investment decision shall
be measured in accordance with the tests set forth in the Texas Government Code Section 2256.006(b).
It shall be the policy of the City not to invest in speculative instruments such as derivatives.
IV. LEGAL LIMITATIONS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITY
Direct specific investment parameters for the investment of public funds in Texas are found in the Public Funds
Investment Act of the Texas Government Code Section 2256.
The Interlocal Cooperation Contracts, Section 791, of the Texas Government Code authorizes local governments to
participate in public funds investments in conjunction with other local governments and agencies of the state of
Texas. Section 791 along with Section 2256 of the Texas Government Code provides authorization for participation
in investment pools to invest public funds jointly with objectives of preservation and safety of principal, liquidity, and
yield.
V. DELEGATION OF INVESTMENT AUTHORITY
The City Manager and the Finance Director acting on behalf of the City Council are designated as the Investment
Officers of the City and are responsible for investment management decisions and activities. The Council is
responsible for considering the quality and capability of staff, investment advisors, and consultants involved in
investment management and procedures. All participants in the investment process shall seek to act responsibly as
custodians of the public trust.
The Investment Officers shall develop and maintain written administrative procedures for the operation of the
investment program which are consistent with the investment policy. Procedures will include reference to
INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 148 Annual Budget 2016-2017
safekeeping, wire transfers, certificates of deposit, and fund accounts. Additional procedures will be documented for
the performance of wire transfer agreements; banking services contracts, and other investment related activities.
The Investment Officers shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls
to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and staff. The Investment Officers shall designate a staff person as a
liaison/deputy in the event circumstances require timely action and the Investment Officers are not available.
No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy
and the procedures established by the Investment Officers and approved by the City Council.
VI. PRUDENCE – STANDARD OF CARE
The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be
applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. The Texas Government Code Section 2256.006(a) states
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence,
discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person’s own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived.
Limitation of Personal Liability
The Investment Officers and those delegated investment authority under this policy, when acting in accordance with
the written procedures and this policy and in accordance with the written procedures and this policy and in accord
with the Prudent Person Rule, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability in the management of the
portfolio provided that deviations from expectations for a specific security’s credit risk or market price change or
portfolio shifts are reported in a timely manner and that appropriate action is taken to control adverse market effects.
VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Investment Officers shall establish a system of written internal controls which will be reviewed annually with the
independent auditor of the City. The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud,
employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions
by employees or Investment Officers of the City.
Cash Flow Forecasting
Cash flow forecasting is designated to protect and sustain cash flow requirements of the City. Supplemental to the
financial and budgetary systems, the Investment Officers will maintain a cash flow forecasting process designed to
monitor and forecast cash positions for investment purposes. Cash flow will include the historical researching and
monitoring of specific cash flow items, payables, and receivables as well as overall cash position and patters.
VIII. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
Acceptable investments under this policy shall be limited to the instruments listed below. The investments shall be
selected in a manner which promotes diversity of the market sector and maturity. The selection of high-grade
government investments and high-grade money market instruments is designed to assure the marketability of those
investments should the need for liquidity arise.
A. Obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and government
sponsoring enterprises, not to exceed two years to stated maturity;
B. Fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit from a bank doing business in the State of Texas
and under the terms of a written depository agreement with that bank, not to exceed three years to the
stated maturity;
C. Money market funds authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act of the Texas Government Code
Chapter 2256.
D. Texas Local Government Investment Pools authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act of the Texas
Government Code Chapter 2256.
Additional types of securities approved for investment of public funds by Texas state statutes are not eligible for
investment by the City until this Investment Policy has been amended and the amended version approved by the City
Council authorizing investment of these additional types of securities.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 149 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Competitive Bidding Requirements
All securities, excluding certificates of deposit, will be purchased or sold after three (3) offers/bids are taken to verify
that the City is receiving fair market value/price for the investment.
Delivery versus Payment

on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis.
IX. SAFEKEEPING AND COLLATERALIZATION
The laws of the State and prudent treasury management require that all purchased securities be bought on a delivery
versus payment basis and be held in safekeeping by either the City, an independent third party financial institution, or
the City’s designated depository.
All safekeeping arrangements shall be designed by the Investment Officers and an agreement of the terms executed
in writing. The third party custodian shall be required to issue safekeeping receipts to the City listing each specific
security, rate, description, maturity, cusip number, and other pertinent information. Each safekeeping receipt will be
clearly marked that the security is held for the City or pledged to the City.

2015 Performance Measure Highlights
As we begin 2016 we start our fourth year of measuring performance in the departments. Each department has
developed performance measures for their department and established benchmarks for those performance
measures. Most performance measures are reported monthly. One purpose of monitoring performance measures is
to check for trends that might indicate a problem with service delivery. This helps me keep on top of things. We also
publish it on the website each month so the public can see how we are doing.
We do not use performance measures as continuous improvement tools. However, monitoring them has led to
service improvements and efficiencies. Department heads are tasked with improving their departments in their
annual performance review. Performance measures are leading indicators of core performance for the department
and should not change much over time. When they do, we look into what is causing the change. Following this
synopsis is a list of all the performance measures but first let’s look at some highlights.
Administration continues to process Freedom of Information requests within the statutorial time limit 100% of the
time. The police department’s response time has decreased over the last five years. This is likely due to more
accurate information from the software system. However, this is one I monitor closely because an increase could
indicate the need for more police personnel on the street. Code enforcement continues to send out letters on
complaints the same day it is received 75% of the time and always within the three-day benchmark. Because of the
time requirements of the statutes it is imperative that we start the process as quickly as possible.
One benchmark that will change for 2016, due to the additional fire personnel added to this year’s budget, is the
number of personnel on fire calls within the first ten minutes. The benchmark will go from three to four. This is
imperative for firefighter safety since mutual aid assistance is so far away. I also monitor their response times closely
within the city limits as an indicator of the need for more resources.
In the municipal court, case disposal within sixty days has been a real challenge. We hope to improve in this area
now that we are working with a new collection agency. Another performance measure that is getting our attention is
in Development Services. Turn around on building permits is trending upward due to the increase in volume. This is
one reason we hired Bureau Veritas to assist us with inspections.
The condition of our parks continues to rate consistently high with park patrons which is a testament to the care the
parks department provides. Finance scored 100% on all of their performance measures for the entire year last year
due to their high diligence and strong internal controls. Also, the Electric department has rated 100% satisfied in
customer service for the last three years.
The end of the year is also the time we look at revising any of the benchmarks. I have already mentioned a couple
that will be adjusted. Another adjustment will be in the water department concerning the amount of time it takes to
respond to a water leak. The benchmark was initially set at sixty minutes. However, they have consistently
responded in less than twenty minutes for the last two years. We are currently considering lowering this benchmark
to 20 minutes based on past history. This gives us a more appropriate benchmark to monitor.
You will notice that some performance measures do not have benchmarks but say “Info Only”. These are input and
output performance measures opposed to outcome performance measures. Outcome performance measures are
customer focused. In other words, how does the activity impact the customer? Input and output performance
measures measure trends over time. We use input and output performance measures to track key indicators
internally. They help us predict future service levels and needs.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The City of Sanger, Texas Page 151 Annual Budget 2016-2017
Performance measures are used differently from organization to organization. We use them to indicate potential
problems and as a quality assurance tool. We also use them for future planning purposes. For example, an increase
in police response times might indicate a need for additional personnel. We use them to establish a base level of
service while using other processes like the merit pay system to encourage and reward higher levels of service. I
hope you find this report informative and helpful.
