REGULAR AGENDA
5. Consider, Discuss and Possibly Approve Issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) on
Bank Depository Services.
Clayton Gray Finance Director was recognized to summarize. He advised that it is time for
the City to issue an RFP for banking services. The Local Government Code allows for
cities to enter into contracts with banks for a period of not longer than five years. It is
common for an RFP to go out and state that it will be a two to three-year contract with one-
year renewals up to the five years. In the past the City has had two years with three one-
year renewals. We are looking at this contract for three years with two separate one-year
renewals at the end. This allows us to keep a good banking relationship with the bank that
is selected at the beginning. He noted that it would be issued (as it has been in the past), to
the four banks operating within the City limits. We are required to advertise and notice
will go in the Denton Record Chronicle. We have been with our current bank since 2006
and have not had any problems. We are required to go through this process. The RFP is
ready to go and can be issued as soon as the Council gives approval to do so, and the
submissions would be due back on February 20th, 2019. He summarized the timeline.
There were some questions from Council and it was noted that the criteria for the RFP was
basically for rates and services and financial stability and that they have a location within
the City limits. We are currently in a no fee situation right now and he summarized current
services. It was noted that if the bank changes, that this RFP is basically for banking and
savings. CD's are considered investments and we can keep them at the current bank. There
was miscellaneous regulatory discussion. It was noted that bank collateralizes everything
we have; and, pledges collateral so we don't have to worry about going over the FDIC
limits. This is a requirement in the RFP. The five-year contract with the single year
renewals versus a straight five-year contract was discussed, if there were any advantages.
It was noted that it would be easier to change banks if we were not in a five-year contract,
along with the possibility of any changes in interest rates which could be a reason to
change banks. The City Charter does have a minimum requirement of a two (2) year
contract.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Bilyeu to approve issuing a Request for Proposal
(RFP) on Bank Depository Services. The motion was seconded by Councilman Clark. The
motion carried unanimously with a 4-0 vote (Councilman Chick absent).
6. Consider, Discuss and Possibly Act on Resolution No. R-01-01-19 — Master Interlocal
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the City of Grand Prairie, Texas; And,
Authorize the City Manager to Execute Said Agreement.
Interim Public Works Director Jim Berman was recognized to summarize. He noted this
agreement is being brought forward because in using interlocal agreements with other cities
(particularly ones that are larger), allows us to buy at the same buying power that they
have. This also allows us to get certain services that they already have under contract and
we would not have to go out to bid for those services. The City of Grand Prairie has an
asphalt contractor that does a very good job and has been their contractor for years. The
contractor is located in Lewisville. He used this same contract when he was employed with
another city. It is a mutual consent and is also on the City of Grand Prairie's agenda
tonight. This does take a resolution by the Council to put this into motion. There was
minor discussion regarding the contract and the services and benefits it would offer. It was
noted that there was no commitment that the contractors would have to service the City.
A motion was made by Councilman Boutwell to approve Resolution No. R-01-01-19 —
Master Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the City of Grand Prairie,
Texas; and, authorize the City Manager to execute said agreement. Councilman Clark
asked why this agreement has to be approved since it is just a purchasing agreement. City
Manager Alina Ciocan noted that all interlocal agreements have to be approved by City
Council and it was noted that this type of item is usually on the Consent Agenda. She also
noted that this has item was reviewed by Legal Counsel. Councilman Clark noted that he
was all for it, but was just curious as to why they had to approve it. The motion was
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Bilyeu. The motion carried unanimously with a 4-0 vote
(Councilman Chick absent).
7. Discussion on Potential Street Reconstruction Projects for FY 2019.
Interim Public Works Director Jim Berman was recognized to summarize potential street
reconstruction projects for FY 2019. It is proposed that we move forward with street
reconstruction of llth Street from Elm to Hughes, 12th Street from Elm to Bolivar, 131h
Street from Bolivar to Hughes, and Hughes from 1 Oth Street to the service road (below).
He noted it is in our budget to do these projects and the roads that are proposed are in
horrible condition and have hardly any asphalt on them. There is no drainage in the area.
This part of the community is flat and we are not proposing to put in drainage ditches. He
did note that on 1lth Street there is a small drainage ditch on one side. Mr. Berman
proposed we go in and mill them up and put two inches of asphalt on them and move onto
the next project. Mr. Berman noted that Hughes Street would not be a complete
reconstruction. He is proposing doing repairs and overlay on only a portion of Hughes
because it has a thick base and is not falling apart. We do not want to go in and tear it up if
we don't need to. There was miscellaneous discussion regarding the drainage. These roads
will not last forever, but should last seven to eight years with proper maintenance, crack
sealing, etc. Mayor Muir noted that he and the City Manager Alina Ciocan have discussed
the roads. There are some roads that will have to have the infrastructure under the road
(water and sewer) replaced and there are some roads such as the ones on this list that need
something on them. It is important to weigh the utilities and where they are at, but we can
not always let them hold us up on doing some kind of improvements to the roads if they
need it. Mr. Berman noted that what he proposes for the future is to come back during the
budget process with a pavement management system. This would be after he has had the
opportunity to go and do tracking accounts and check out the conditions of all of the
asphalt/concrete or gravel streets and put them in categories. There are streets that are not
bad streets at this point but if no maintenance is done on them, they will turn into bad
streets. Mr. Berman proposed that for the next budget year City Council will be able to
look at the lists and have the costs to maintain and/or replace the streets and make the
choices as to which ones to do and when. He noted that when he was in Seagoville and
Midlothian, he got a lot of mileage by putting the list online. Mayor Muir noted that this is
the plan that has been discussed in the past, so that the residents can know where they are
on the list. City Manager Alina Ciocan noted that when the plan is being considered for
next budget year the City Council will know exactly what will be fixed with the amount of
money being requested. Mayor Pro Tem Bilyeu noted there are many issues in the
community but one that covers the spectrum is the streets and if we have this plan, then the
people can see progress. Councilman Boutwell brought up discussion regarding Plum
being an alternate route for FM 455 TxDOT construction traffic. City Manager Alina
Ciocan noted that Plum was something that Mike Brice had thought about in the Budget
and that it would be a full reconstruction with water lines, sewer lines, and pavement. The
approximate estimate was close to three million dollars. The project would most likely
have to be bonded. We were also exploring the idea of using Peach. From 2nd street to 5th
street it is already in good shape, so we would only have to improve it from 51h to I01h
This may move Peach ahead of Plum. Staff is looking at this and weighing these options
with our Financial Advisor as to what can be bonded, how much and will come before City
Council with the findings. There was additional discussion regarding what projects would
be included in the bond. The outflow pipeline, and the Railroad lift station, moving the
utilities on FM 455 and reconstructing Plum, or Peach are all projects that are coming up
timing wise in the next few years. To do the whole reconstruction of the streets requires
some serious funding. Mayor Pro Tem noted that this is another 12 to 15 million and asked
where we are in the bonding capacity. Mayor Muir noted that in the meeting with the
Financial Advisor that some of the debt falls off in 2021. As we get larger bonds the cost
of units is cheaper and we could accelerate some things and structure some things with
interest etc., so that things could happen. Mayor Muir also noted that, as they are looking
at the planning, he would love at some point to have, in the Old Town quadrant from the
area on the board to 5th Street north to FM 455, that portion of the City, curb and gutter
with asphalt instead of concrete in between. He noted with the curb and gutter it would
help the drainage and create a street appeal and the homeowners would have more pride in
their property. Interim Public Works Director Jim Berman noted that he was going to take
videos of the whole area before any improvements are made. There was discussion
regarding the construction of the street with Mr. Berman and Councilman Allison.
Councilman Allison suggested that three inches of asphalt would work better than two
inches. Mayor Muir asked what was left in the budget to do maintenance. It was noted
there was still other monies in the street budget for maintenance. Councilman Clark asked
when the project would start. Mr. Berman noted that he does not have that answer at this
time. He would have to schedule it with the asphalt company, contact everyone including
the school, and take videos of the area. Councilman Boutwell asked if staff could be sure
that these improvements are posted on social media. He noted that any way we could get
the word out would be great. Staff noted that they would be putting the information out to
the public. There was no further discussion.
8. INFORMATION ITEMS:
a) December 2018 Disbursements.
b) All American Dogs Report.
No discussion on information items.
9. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: (The purpose of this item is to allow the Mayor and
members of Council to bring forward items they wish to discuss at a future meeting, A
Council Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not been given. A
statement of specific factual information or the recitation of existing policy may be given.
Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to place the subject on an agenda for a
subsequent meeting. Items may be placed on a future meeting agenda with a consensus
of the Council or at the call of the Mayor).
a. Confirm Calendars - City Council Strategic Planning Retreat — Thursday,
February 28, 2019 —12:00 Noon to 5:00 PM
Councilman Bilyeu was not at the meeting when the date changed and noted that he could
make the meeting and has it on his calendar. He noted that he would be at the first
meeting in March (March 41h) but would not be at the second meeting in March (March
18th).
There was brief discussion regarding the City's first GIS Interactive Map online for public
use. City Manager Alina Ciocan pulled the map up and gave a brief summary. It was noted
that the map would have more layers as we build our data.
10. ADJOURN.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Muir adjourned the meeting at 7:58 PM.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Sanger, Texas:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Sanger, Texas (the "City") as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The City's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the
discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City as of September 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position
and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note V.G. to the financial statements, due to the implementation of GASB No. 75,
the City restated its beginning net position within governmental activities and business -type
activities to properly reflect the total OPEB liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources, as prescribed by this accounting standard. Our opinion is not modified with respect to
this matter.SA
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis, schedule of changes in net pension liability and related
ratios, schedule of employer contributions to pension plan, schedule of changes in other
postemployment benefits liability and related ratios, and general fund budgetary comparison
information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.
PA
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise City of Sanger, Texas's basic financial statements. The combining schedule
by department for the proprietary fund is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining schedule by department for the proprietary fund is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining
financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION

City of Sanger, Texas
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
September 30, 2018
As management of the City of Sanger, Texas (the "City"), we offer readers of the City's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2018.
Financial Highlights
• The City's total combined net position is $40,225,842 at September 30, 2018. Of this, $19,212,573
(unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to its citizens and
creditors.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund
balances of $6,251,457, an increase of $2,174,302.
• As of the end of the year, the unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $4,420,906 or
76% of total general fund expenditures.
• The City had an overall increase in net position of $7,507,345, which is due to revenues
exceeding expenses for both governmental and business -type activities.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis provided here are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic
financial statements. The City's basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) government -
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) the notes to financial statements. This
report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the
basic financial statements themselves.
Government -Wide Statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
City's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets, liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating. Other non -financial factors, such as the City's property tax base and the condition of the
City's infrastructure, need to be considered in order to assess the overall health of the City.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving
rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses
City of Sanger, Texas
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS, Continued
September 30, 2018
are reported for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected
taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that
are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -
type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public
works, and culture and recreation. The business -type activities of the City include water, sewer and
electric operations.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary
government), but also the legally separate Sanger Industrial Development Corporation ("4A") and the
Sanger Texas Development Corporation ("0"), for which the City is financially accountable. Financial
information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented
for the primary government itself.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Funds may be considered as operating companies of the parent corporation, which is the City of
Sanger. They are usually segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Sanger uses fund
ti accounng to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal reporting requirements.
The two categories of City funds are governmental and proprietary.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. Such information
may be useful in evaluating the City's near -term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near -term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Sanger maintains three individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of

revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general, debt service, and capital projects
funds. The general and capital projects funds are considered to be major funds.
The City of Sanger adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds. A budgetary comparison
schedule has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the general fund budget.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are used to report the
same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The
City uses a proprietary fund to account for its public utilities. All activities associated with providing
such services are accounted for in these funds, including administration, operation, maintenance, debt
service, capital improvements, meter maintenance, billing and collection. The City's intent is that costs
of providing the services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed through user charges in
a manner similar to a private enterprise. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to
accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City uses an internal
service fund to account for administrative support services to other funds of the City.
Component Units
The City maintains the accounting and financial statements for two component units. The 4A and the
4B are both discretely presented component units displayed on the government -wide financial
statements.
Notes to Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes
are the last section of the basic financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements, MD&A, and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain Required Supplementary Information (RSI). The RSI that GASB Statement No. 34 requires is a
budgetary comparison schedule for the general fund and schedules for the City's Defined Pension
Plan. RSI can be found after the basic financial statements.
GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted previously, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City's financial
position. For the City of Sanger, assets exceeded liabilities by $40,225,842 as of September 30, 2018, in
the primary government.

City ®f Sanger, Texas
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS, Continued
September 30, 2018
The largest portion of the City's net position, $19,494,509, reflects its investments in capital assets (e.g.,
land, city hall, police station, streets, and drainage systems, as well as the public works facilities), less
any debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to
provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the assets themselves
cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's net position, $1,518,760, represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $19,212,573 is unrestricted
and may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
Current assets of governmental activities as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were
$7,224,081 and $5,153,316, respectively. The increase of $2,070,765 was primarily due to an increase in
cash on hand as a result of revenues exceeding expenses in the current year.
Current assets of business -type activities as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were
$16,436,888 and $23,313,512, respectively. The decrease of $6,876,624 was primarily attributable to bond
proceeds being spent in the current year.
Capital assets of governmental activities as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were
$19,178,754 and $16,264,468, respectively. The increase of $2,914,286 was a primarily a result of new
investments in infrastructure.
Capital assets of business -type activities as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were
$27,575,268 and $18,881,652, respectively. The increase of $8,693,616 was a primarily a result of the
sewer plant expansion.

construction. Other revenues increased by $185,076 or 88% mainly as a result of the recognition of

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, fund accounting is used to demonstrate and ensure compliance with finance -related
legal requirements.
Governmental Funds - The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information of near -
term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of the City's net resources available for spending at the end of the year.
As of the end of the year the general fund reflected a total fund balance of $4,928,737. Of this, $8,853 is
restricted for municipal court, $36,899 is restricted for tourism, $102,024 is restricted for library

roadway impact fees. In addition, $30,512 is committed for employee benefits. Unassigned fund

is attributed to greater intergovernmental revenues and transfers in compared to capital outlay

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES,
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended September 30, 2018
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay
Depreciation expense
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
EMS receivable
Property tax receivable
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures
in governmental funds.
Compensated absences
Accrued interest
Pension expense
OPEB expense
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases, certificates of obligation)
provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the
repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial
resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any
effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance
costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when they are first issued; whereas,
these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term
debt and related items.
Deferred charges on refunding
Premium on debt
Principal payments
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of internal services
to individual funds. The City reports the net gain (loss) of internal
service funds within governmental activities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2018
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Description of Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and
the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of
the pri nary govermnent and its component units. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other
nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business -type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for
support. Likewise, the primanj government is reported separately from certain legally
separate component units for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
B. Reporting Entity
The City of Sanger, Texas (the "City") 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.
The City is an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by
an elected council and a mayor and is considered a primary government. As
required by generally accepted accounting principles, these basic financial
statements have been prepared based on considerations regarding the potential for
inclusion of other entities, organizations, or functions as part of the City's financial
reporting entity. The Sanger Industrial Development Corporation ("4A fund") and
the Sanger Texas Development Corporation ("4B fund"), although legally separate,
are considered part of the reporting entity. No other entities have been included in
the City's reporting entity. Additionally, as the City is considered a primary
government for financial reporting purposes, its activities are not considered a part
of any other governmental or other type of reporting entity.
Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations
or functions in the City's financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed
by generally accepted accounting principles. These same criteria are evaluated in
considering whether the City is a part of any other governmental or other type of
reporting entity. The overriding elements associated with prescribed criteria
considered in determining that the City's financial reporting entity status is that of a
primary government are that it has a separately elected governing body; it is legally
separate; and is fiscally independent of other state and local governments.
37
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
y
September 30, 2018
Additionally, prescribed criteria under generally accepted accounting principles
include considerations pertaining to organizations for which the primary
government is financially accountable, and considerations pertaining to
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Discretely Presented Component Units
Sanger Industrial Development Corporation (4A)
The Sanger Texas Industrial Development Corporation ("4A") is governed by a
board of five directors, all of whom are appointed by the City Council of the City of
Sanger and any of whom can be removed from office by the City Council at its will.
The 4A fund was incorporated in the state of Texas as a non-profit industrial
development corporation under Section 4A of the Development Corporation Act of
1979. The purpose of the 4A fund is to promote economic development within the
City of Sanger. Discrete presentation is appropriate because the District's Board is
not substantially the same as the City.
Sanger Texas Development Corporation (4B)
The Sanger Texas Development Corporation ("0") is governed by a board of seven
directors, all of whom are appointed by the City Council at its will. The 4B fund was
incorporated in the state of Texas as a nonprofit industrial development corporation
under Section 4B of the Development Corporation Act of 1979. The purpose of the
4B fund is to promote economic and community development within the City of
Sanger. Discrete presentation is appropriate because the District's Board is not
substantially the same as the City.
C. Basis of Presentation Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
While separate government -wide and fund financial statements are presented, they
are interrelated. The governmental activities column incorporates data from
govermnental funds while business -type activities incorporate data from the
government's enterprise funds. Separate financial statements are provided for
governmental funds and the proprietary funds.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government -wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments
in lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the
9:3
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
interfund services provided and other charges between the government's water and
transit functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of
these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
The fund financial statements provide information about the government's funds.
Separate statements for each fund category —governmental and proprietary are
presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and
enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental
and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major
individual govermnental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in
the fiend financial statements.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions
are typically financed.
General Fund
The general fund is used to account for all financial transactions not properly
includable in other funds. The principal sources of revenues include local
property taxes, sales and franchise taxes, licenses and permits, fines and
forfeitures, and charges for services. Expenditures include general government,
public safety, parks and recreation and public works.
Capital Projects Fund
The capital projects fund is used to account for capital asset activities for
governmental fund types.
The government reports the following nonmajor governmental fund:
Debt Service Fund
The debt service fund is used to account for debt service activities for
governmental fund types.
39
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities that are similar to those often
found in the private sector. All assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses, and
transfers relating to the government's business activities are accounted for through
proprietary funds. The measurement focus is on determination of net income,
financial position, and cash flows. Proprietary funds distinguish operating
revenues and expenses from non -operating items. Operating revenues include
charges for services. Operating expenses include costs of materials, contracts,
personnel, and depreciation. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition
are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses. Proprietary fund types
follow GAAP prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
and all financial Accounting Standards Boards standards issued prior to November
30, 1989. Subsequent to this date, the City accounts for its enterprise funds as
presented by GASB. The proprietary fund types used by the City include enterprise
funds.
The government reports the following major enterprise fund:
Water, Sewer, & Electric Fund
This fund is used to account for the provision of water, sewer and electric
services to the residents of the City. Activities of the fund include administration,
operations and maintenance of the water production and distribution system,
water collection and treatment systems, and electric services. The fund also
accounts for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of long-term
debt. All costs are financed through charges to utility customers.
Additionally, the government reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Fund
Revenues and expenses related to services provided to organizations inside the
City on a cost reimbursement basis are accounted for in an internal service fund.
The City's internal service fund was set up to provide administrative support
services to other funds of the City.
During the course of operations the government has activity between funds for
various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as
due from/to other fonds and advances to/from other funds. While these balances
are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the
40
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
preparation of the government -wide financial statements. Balances between the
funds included in governmental activities (i.e., the governmental and internal
service funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal
balances in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the
fiends included in business -type activities (i.e., the enterprise funds) are eliminated
so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the business -type
activities column.
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources
between funds. In fiend financial statements these amounts are reported at gross
amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fiend financial statements, certain
eliminations are made in the preparation of the government -wide financial
statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental
activities column. Si nilarly, balances between the fiends included in business -type
activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the
business -type activities column.
D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable
measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type
of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources.
The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition
in the financial statements.
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year
for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as
soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days
of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a
liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
41
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims
and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset
acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-
term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the
current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as
revenues when all eligibility requirements are met, including any time
requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the
availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end).
Expenditure -driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying
expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been
met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period
for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end). All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
government.
E. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net
Position/Fund Balance
1. Deposits and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand
deposits and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less
from the date of acquisition. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the
proprietary fund types consider temporary investments with maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Reporting for Certain
Investments and External Investment Pools, the City reports all investments at fair
value, except for "money market investments" and "2a74ike pools." Money market
investments, which are short-term highly liquid debt instruments that may include
U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, are reported at amortized costs. Investment
positions in external investment pools that are operated in a manner consistent with
the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, such as TexPool, are
reported using the pools' share price.
42
City ®f Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
The City has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of its
funds as defined in the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, of the Texas
Governmental Code. In summary, the City is authorized to invest in the following:
Direct obligations of the U.S. Government
Fully collateralized certificates of deposit and money market accounts
Statewide investment pools
2. Fair Value
The City has applied Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB")
Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. GASB Statement No.
72 provides guidance for determining a fair value measurement for reporting
purposes and applying fair value to certain investments and disclosures related to
all fair value measurements.
3. Receivables and Interfund Transactions
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing
arrangements outstanding at the end of the year are referred to as either "interfund
receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances
to/from other funds" (i.e., the non -current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds" in
the fund financial statements. If the transactions are between the primary
government and its component unit, these receivables and payables are classified as
"due to/from component unit/primary government." Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are
reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds are offset by a fund balance reserve account in the
applicable governmental fund to indicate they are not available for appropriation
and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade receivables are shown net of any allowance for uncollectible amounts.
4. Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior
January 1 for all real and business personal property in conformity with Subtitle E,
Texas Property Tax Code. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and are delinquent
if not paid before February 1 of the year following the year in which imposed.
43
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
Penalties are calculated after February 1 up to the date collected by the government
at the rate of 6% for the first month and increased 1% per month up to a total of
12%. Interest is calculated after February 1 at the rate of 1% per month up to the
date collected by the government. Under state law, property taxes levied on real
property constitute a lien on the real property which cannot be forgiven without
specific approval of the State Legislature. The lien expires at the end of twenty
years. Taxes levied on personal property can be deemed uncollectible by the City.
S. Inventories and Prepaid Items
The costs of governmental fund type inventories are recorded as expenditures when
the related liability is incurred, (i.e., the purchase method). The inventories are
valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Certain
payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods (prepaid
expenditures) are recognized as expenditures when utilized.
6. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets
(e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the applicable
governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the government, as assets with an initial
individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one
year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair
market value at the date of donation. Major outlays for capital assets and
improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest costs incurred in connection with construction of enterprise fund capital
assets are capitalized when the effects of capitalization materially impact the
financial statements.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized.
44
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the
component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful years.
Asset Description

Vehicles
5-10 years
Furniture and equipment
5 to 10 years
Infrastructure
10-30 years
Water and sewer system
10-30 years
Buildings and improvements
5-40 years
7. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net
position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an
outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. An example is a deferred
charge on refunding reported in the government -wide statement of net position. A
deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of
refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized
over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources
(revenue) until that time. The government has only one type of item, which arises
only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies for reporting in
this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable
revenues from two sources: property taxes and EMS revenues. These amounts are
deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available.
8. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both
restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In
order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted — net position and unrestricted
— net position in the govermnent-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a
45
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are
considered to be applied.
9. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both
restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and
unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted,
committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund
financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the
resources are considered to be applied. It is the government's policy to consider
restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components
of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund
balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first,
followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
10. Fund Balance Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the
nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The
i
government itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a
commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only
for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest
level of decision -making authority. The governing council is the highest level of
decision -making authority for the government that can, by adoption of an
ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted,
the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is
taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the
government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as
committed. The governing body (council) has by resolution authorized the City
Manager to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund balance as it
does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue
and appropriations in the subsequent year's appropriated budget. Unlike
commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an
additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an
assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to
either remove or revise a commitment.
46
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
11. Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the government -wide and
proprietary fund statements consist of unpaid, accumulated vacation balances. The
liability has been calculated using the vesting method, in which leave amounts for
both employees who currently are eligible to receive termination payments and
other employees who are expected to become eligible in the future to receive such
payments upon termination are included. Vested or accumulated vacation leave
and compensated leave of government -wide and proprietary funds are recognized
as an expense and liability of those funds as the benefits accrue to employees.
It is the City's policy to liquidate compensated absences with future revenues rather
than with currently available expendable resources. Accordingly, the City's
governmental funds recognize accrued compensated absences when it is paid.
12. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities
statement of net position. The long-term debt consists primarily of bonds payable
and accrued compensated absences.
Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund
financial statements until due. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing
sources, net of the applicable premium or discount and payments of principal and
interest reported as expenditures. In the governmental fund types, issuance costs,
even if withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures. However, claims and judgments paid from governmental funds are
reported as a liability in the fund financial statements only for the portion expected
to be financed from expendable available financial resources.
Long-term debt and other obligations, financed by proprietary funds, are reported
as liabilities in the appropriate funds. For proprietary fund types, bond premiums,
and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the
effective interest method, if material. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Issuance costs are expensed as incurred in
accordance with GASB statement no. 65.
Assets acquired under the terms of capital leases are recorded as liabilities and
capitalized in the government -wide financial statements at the present value of net
minimum lease payments at inception of the lease. In the year of acquisition, capital
47
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
l September 30, 2018
lease transactions are recorded as other financing sources and as capital outlay
expenditures in the general fund. Lease payments representing both principal and
interest are recorded as expenditures in the general fund upon payment with an
appropriate reduction of principal recorded in the government -wide financial
statements.
13. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
14. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources
and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense,
information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas Municipal Retirement
System (TMRS) and additions to/deductions from TMRS's Fiduciary Net Position
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS. For this
purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that compensation is
reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit
payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
15. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB")
The City has implemented GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. This statement
applies to the individual employers (TMRS cities) in the TMRS Supplemental Death
Benefits (SDB) plan, with retiree coverage. The TMRS SDBF covers both active and
retiree benefits with no segregation of assets, and therefore doesn't meet the
definition of a trust under GASB No. 75 (i.e., no assets are accumulated for OPEB)
and as such the SDBF is considered to be an unfunded OPEB plan. For purposes of
reporting under GASB 75, the retiree portion of the SDBF is not considered a cost
sharing plan and is instead considered a single employer, defined benefit OPEB
plan. The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment
approximately equal to the employee's annual salary, calculated based on the
employee's actual earnings on which TMRS deposits are made, for the 12-month
EU
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
period preceding the month of death. The death benefit amount for retirees is
$7,500. GASB No. 75 requires the liability of employers and nonemployer
contributing entities to employees for defined benefit OPEB (net OPEB liability) to
be measured as the portion of the present value of projected benefit payments to be
provided to current active and inactive employees that is attributed to those
employees' past periods of service (total OPEB liability), less the amount of the
OPEB plan's fiduciary net position.
II. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
A. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet
and the government -wide statement of net position.
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance -
total governmental funds and net position -governmental activities as reported in the
government -wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation
explains that long-term liabilities, including bonds, are not due and payable in the
current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
B. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the government -wide
statement of activities.
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total
governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental states that, "the
issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds) provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items
when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
statement of activities."
III. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles for all governmental and enterprise fiends.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The legal
level of control is the fund level. No funds can be transferred or added to a

year. Budget amendments were only re -classes at the function level and below and
there was no increase in budgeted revenues or expenses by function from
amendments.

Interest rate risk — In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its
exposure to declines in fair values by limiting the weighted average of maturity not
to exceed five years; structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to
meet cash requirements for ongoing operations; monitoring credit ratings of
portfolio position to assure compliance with rating requirements imposed by the
Public Funds Investment Act; and invest operating funds primarily in short-term
securities or similar government investment pools.
50
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
Credit risk — The City's investment policy limits investments to obligations of the
United States, State of Texas, or their agencies and instrumentalities with an
investment quality rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent, by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm. Other obligations must be unconditionally
guaranteed (either express or implied) by the full faith and credit of the United
States Government or the issuing U.S. agency and investment pools with an
investment quality not less than AAA or AAA-m, or equivalent, by at least one
nationally recognized rating service.
Custodial credit risk — deposits In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event
of a bank failure, the City's deposits may not be returned to it. State statutes require
that all deposits in financial institutions be insured or fully collateralized by U.S.
government obligations or its agencies and instrumentalities or direct obligations of
Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities that have a market value of not less than
the principal amount of the deposits. As of September 30, 2018, the market values of
pledged securities and FDIC exceeded bank balances.
Custodial credit risk — investments For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event
of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its
investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
The City's investment policy requires that it will seek to safekeeping securities at
financial institutions, avoiding physical possession. Further, all trades, where
applicable, are executed by delivery versus payment to ensure that securities are
deposited in the City's safekeeping account prior to the release of funds.

V. OTHER INFORMATION
A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and
destruction of assets, errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the City
participates along with 2,800 other entities in the Texas Municipal League's
Intergovernmental Risk Pools. The Pool purchases commercial insurance at group
rates for participants in the Pool. The City has no additional risk or responsibility to
the Pool outside of the payment of insurance premiums. The City has not
significantly reduced insurance coverage or had settlements which exceeded
coverage amounts for the past three years.
B. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from granting agencies are subject to audit and
adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any
disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of
the applicable funds. The amounts of expenditures which may be disallowed by the
grantor cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts,
if any, to be immaterial.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount
of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims
that have been incurred but not reported. Claim liabilities are calculated
considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends, including
frequency and amount of payouts, and other economic and social factors.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 instituted certain arbitrage consisting of complex
regulations with respect to issuance of tax-exempt bonds after August 31, 1986.
Arbitrage regulations deal with the investment of tax-exempt bond proceeds at an
interest yield greater than the interest yield paid to bondholders. Generally, all
interest paid to bondholders can be retroactively rendered taxable if applicable
rebates are not reported and paid to the Internal Revenue Service at least every five
years for applicable bond issues. Accordingly, there is the risk that if such
calculations are not performed correctly, a substantial liability to the City could
result. The City does anticipate that it will have an arbitrage liability and performs

annual calculations to estimate this potential liability. The City will also engage an
arbitrage consultant to perform the calculations in accordance with Internal
Revenue Service's rules and regulations if indicated.
E. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
1. Plan Description
The City of Sanger, Texas participates as one of 883 plans in the nontraditional, joint
contributory, hybrid defined benefit pension plan administered by the Texas
Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency created by the State of
Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas
Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple -employer retirement
system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the
general administration and management of the System with a six -member Board of
Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate,
appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's
defined benefit pension plan is a tax -qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the
Internal Revenue Code. TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual
financial report (CAFR) that can be obtained at www.tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the city are required to participate in TMRS.
2. Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are
adopted by the governing body of the city, within the options available in the state
statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions,
with interest, and the city -financed monetary credits with interest were used to
purchase an annuity. Members may choose to receive their retirement benefit in one
of seven payments options. Members may also choose to receive a portion of their
benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36
monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and
interest.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the
options available in the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the City
were as follows:

3. Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee
gross earnings, and the city matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 2001/o,
both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing
TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually by the actuary,
using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially
determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits
earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any
unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the City of Sanger were required to contribute 6% of their annual
gross earnings during the fiscal year. The contribution rates for the City of Sanger
were 7.63% and 7.79% in calendar years 2017 and 2018, respectively. The City's
contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2018, were $287,348, and
were equal to the required contributions.

4. Net Pension Liability
The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2017, and
the Total Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions:
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was
determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall payroll growth 3.0% per year
Investment Rate of Return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment expense,
including inflation
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active
members, retirees, and beneficiaries were based on the gender -distinct RP2000
Combined Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment, with male rates
multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103%.The rates are projected on
a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements.
For disabled annuitants, the gender -distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality
Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment are used with males rates multiplied by 109%
and female rates multiplied by 103% with a 3-year set -forward for both males and
females. In addition, a 3% minimum mortality rate is applied to reflect the
impairment for younger members who become disabled. The rates are projected on
a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements
subject to the 3% floor.
The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial
investigation of the experience of TMRS over the four year period from December
31, 2010 to December 31, 2014. They were adopted in 2015 and first used in the
December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation. The post -retirement mortality assumption
for healthy annuitants and Annuity Purchase Rate (APRs) are based on the
Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011 dated
December 31, 2013. In conjunction with these changes first used in the December 31,
2013 valuation, the System adopted the Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method
and a one-time change to the amortization policy. Plan assets are managed on a
total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation as well as the
67

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
y September 30, 2018
production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding
needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real
rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and
inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real
rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation. In determining their best estimate of a recommended investment return
assumption under the various alternative asset allocation portfolios, GRS focused
on the area between (1) arithmetic mean (aggressive) without an adjustment for
time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean (conservative) with an adjustment
for time (aggressive). The target allocation and best estimates of real rates of return
for each major asset class in fiscal year 2018 are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate:
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee
and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute. Based on
that assumption, the pension plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be
available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and
inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the Total Pension Liability.

F. Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
The City also participates in the cost sharing multiple -employer defined benefit
group -term life insurance plan operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS) known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The City elected,
70
City of Sanger, Texas
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
September 30, 2018
by ordinance, to provide group -term life insurance coverage to both current and
retired employees. The City may terminate coverage under and discontinue
participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year
to be effective the following January 1.
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment
approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated based on the
employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period preceding the month of death);
retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is an "other
postemployment benefit," or OPEB.
The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by
an annual actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year
term life insurance. The funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that
adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the
upcoming year; the intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during
employees' entire careers.
Employees covered by benefit terms
At the December 31, 2017 valuation and measurement date, the following

Case #:
18SANZON-0073
Case Coordinator:
Muzaib Riaz, Planner, Development Services
Request:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider, Discuss and Act on the Requested
Variance to Allow 30 Feet of Right -of -Way (ROW) Dedication Instead of
60 Feet of ROW Dedication Required as Public Access to proposed lot I
from FM 455, for a proposed Replat of Lot I & Lot 2R, Block 1, of LL&T

Acres and Generally Located North of FM 455 and Approximately 1200
Feet South-West of the Intersection of FM 1190 and FM 455.
Applicant:
Barry Harkins
Case Overview
The applicant is requesting a variance from the ROW width requirement in Section 5.01— General
Plat Requirements, Exhibit A — Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 10 — Subdivision Regulation, of
the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances. The proposed Replat is for a commercial lot according to
Section 5.01.J — "Street widths proposed for industrial subdivisions or commercial development
shall not be less than that required for a Collector." The minimum ROW width for a Collector is
60 feet.
The applicant is requesting a variance due to a hardship that there are buildings on the said lot only
approximately 50 feet away from the east lot boundary, and a ROW dedication of a 100 feet would
encroach on the said buildings. Additionally, there is a 60 foot mutual access easement towards
the east lot boundary, divided halfway (30') between the subject lot and the lot on the east. The
access easement provides 60 foot of access to parcels at the back of the property.
Staff received Denton County Planning's comments for the proposed plat. Denton County
Planning office is satisfied with the current lot configuration as shown in the plat exhibit attached.
Notification Response Form
Staff mailed eight (8) public hearing notices to the owners of properties within 200 feet of the
subject property. No responses were received at the time of this report.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed variance.
Actions for City Council
The City Council should approve the requested variance from subdivision regulations if it finds it
to be in conformance with Section 10 (Other Requirements) of the City of Sanger Code of
Ordinances, Chapter 10 — Subdivision Regulation, Exhibit A — Subdivision Ordinance of the City
of Sanger Texas.

SECTION 5: GENERAL PLAT REQUIREMENTS
All requirements pertaining to lot size, yard size, dwelling size, lot coverage, height, parking, loading
and screening contained in the current zoning ordinance of the city shall be adhered to for development
under this ordinance. (Ordinance 10-33-08 adopted 10/6/08)
5.01 - Streets
A. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all proposed streets shall conform
to the general plan of the community, and their relationship shall be considered to that of the existing
and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their
appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.
B. The reservation in private ownership of strips of land, at the end of offered or existing streets
intended solely or primarily for the purpose of controlling access to property not included in the
subdivision shall be prohibited.
C. Where such is not shown in the general plan for the community, the arrangement of streets in a
subdivision shall:
(1) Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing principal streets in surrounding
areas;
(2) Conform to a plan for the neighborhood approved or adopted by the city to meet a particular
situation where topographical or other conditions make continuation of or conformance to an existing
street impracticable; and
(3) Be planned so that they shall intersect, as nearly as possible, at right angles.
D. Residential streets shall be aligned so that their use by through traffic is discouraged.
E. In phased developments, streets which are continuous through more than a single phase shall be
provided with temporary turnarounds (at the point of temporary termination) until the street is fully
constructed per the original approved plan.
F. Developers shall be required to coordinate all planning and engineering work with all adjacent
property owners/developers.
G. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet (125') shall be avoided.
(Ordinance 01-04-08 adopted 1/24/08)
H. The street minimum right-of-way widths and centerline radius shall be in accordance with the city's
thoroughfare plan and shall conform to the following:
Code Type of Street Minimum Right- Minimum Intersection
of -Way Width Centerline
Radii
FW Freeway 200 feet Varies varies
NU Principal Arterial Four Lane 100 feet 150' 1,000 feet

R2U Residential/Local Two Lane 50 feet 70' 250 feet
Undivided
REU Residential/Estate Two Lane 60 feet 75' 250 feet
Undivided
I. Streets shall be classified according to the following:
1. Arterial (Principal, Minor): The main function of arterial is to carry traffic from one urban area to
another. The thoroughfare system serves the major activity centers of urbanized areas. An arterial is
used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion of the total traffic with a minimum of mileage.
2. Collector: Carries traffic from local streets to Arterial. Also may serve local facilities such as
schools, churches [sic]. Uses served would include medium and high density residential, limited
commercial facilities, elementary schools, some small offices and as direct access within industrial
parks. Collector streets also carry heavy traffic to major commercial and industrial facilities from
thoroughfare. Uses would include office parks, industrial parks, and community level commercial
facilities.
3. Residential/Local: Carries traffic from residential and commercial areas to collector streets and
interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration.
4. Residential/Estate: Carries traffic from rural residential areas to collector streets and interconnects
individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration. This type of
street section can only be utilized in residential subdivisions of lots at least 1-1/2 acres in size.
(Ordinance 10-33-08 adopted 10/6/08)
J. Street widths proposed for industrial subdivisions or commercial developments shall be not less
than that required for a Collector.
K. Half streets shall be prohibited, except where there is no alternative for reasonable development of
the subdivision in conformance with the other requirements of these regulations and where the city finds
it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property is subdivided.
Wherever a half street has already been provided adjacent to an area to be subdivided, the other
remaining portion of the street shall be platted within such subdivision. Where part of a residential or
collector street is being dedicated along a common property line, the first dedication shall be one-half
(1/2) of the proposed street right-of-way plus five feet (6) unless a construction easement on the
adjoining parcel has been obtained, and the developer shall construct the half street or place in escrow
cash for the estimated half -paving cost as determined by the city council.
L. Cul-de-sacs in residential additions shall not be longer than six hundred feet (600') from the
nearest intersection, except under unusual conditions with the approval of the city council, and there
shall be provided at the closed -end a turnaround having a minimum outside roadway diameter of eighty-
one feet (81'). In industrial areas, cul-de-sacs shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000') from the
nearest intersecting street, and there shall be provided at the closed -end a turnaround having a
minimum outside roadway diameter of one hundred feet (100') and a minimum street property line
diameter of one hundred feet (100'). Alternate turnaround designs in residential tract developments
which provide adequate turnaround area may be considered or approved by the city.
M. All streets shall be paved, and paving shall conform to the requirements of Section 6,
Improvements, of these regulations.
N. Street grades shall be established regarding topography, proposed land -use and the facilities in
the area surrounding the land to be subdivided. Minimum grades shall be five -tenths percent (0.50%) on
concrete streets and five -tenths percent (0.50%) on all other types of street paving. Cross (transverse)
slopes between pavement and the right-of-way shall not be less than 100:1 or steeper than 3:1. Where
necessary, additional right-of-way or slope easement shall be provided to meet this requirement.
O. Street name markers shall be installed in accordance with the prescribed type currently in use by
the city or an approved equal, as approved by the city manager. Street markers and erections will be at
the expense of the subdivider.
P. The materials for all traffic -control and regulatory signs shall be furnished by the subdivider and
installed by the city for all intersections within or abutting the subdivision. Such signs shall be in strict
compliance with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration and according to the
requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, latest edition. No signs will be placed in
undeveloped portions of the subdivision.
Q. The subdivider shall comply with the guidelines and criteria for driveways, including the design
requirements, grades, spacing, and access standards as provided by the city's thoroughfare plan.
R. If a proposed development is projected to generate a lesser traffic volume than would normally
require roadways as specified in the master thoroughfare plan, the developer may install a "minimum
acceptable alternative" approved by the City. The full right-of-way and pavement thickness is
unchanged. Only the outside two (2) lanes would be paved in this situation. The city must approve the
use of this option.
5.02 - Alleys
A. Alleys are not required, except where the City has determined that one is necessary for adequate
service access, such as off-street loading, unloading and parking consistent with and adequate for the
uses proposed.
B. All Alleys shall be paved with reinforced concrete, and the paving shall conform to Section 6,
Improvements, of these regulations.
C. All Alleys must be privately maintained by the Home Owner's Association or other entity.
D. The minimum width of any alley shall be twenty feet (20') in industrial and commercial areas and
fifteen feet (15') in residential areas.
E. Alley intersections, sudden changes in alignment, and dead-end alleys shall be avoided.
F. Residential driveway and alley pavement cuts must be approved by the City Engineer onto loop
and major thoroughfares. Alleys on frontage roads shall be provided along side and rear lot lines which
front on loop and major thoroughfares for rear entrance.
5.03 - Gated Community/Private Streets
A. Private streets in Gated Communities shall conform to the same standards regulating the design
and construction of public streets. A Gated Community will only be permitted in a Planned Development
(PD) Zoning District.
B. Any gate installation must conform to the following provisions:
a. All gate installations must be approved by the City prior to installation. The installation must be
completed and tested prior to the City's acceptance of the subdivision.
b. Gate design may incorporate one or two gate sections to meet the required minimum gate width of
twenty-four feet (24'). If the entrance will incorporate a median, guard shack or similar structure that
necessitates a divided gate arrangement, the gate widths may be reduced if approved by the City, but in
no case shall any single gate or street pavement have a clear opening of less than twenty (20) feet.
c. Approach and departure areas on both sides of a gated entrance must provide adequate setbacks
and proper alignment to allow free and unimpeded passage of emergency vehicles through the
entrance area. All entry gates must be setback a minimum of 100 ft from any adjacent public street

C. Property Associations Required - Subdivisions developed with private streets or alleys must have a
mandatory property owners association which includes all property served by private streets or alleys.
The association shall own and be responsible for the maintenance of private streets, parks and other
Homeowner Association appurtenances. The association documents shall be reviewed by the City
Attorney and subject to approval by the City to ensure that they conform to this and other applicable
City ordinances and concerns. The documents shall be filed of record prior to the approval of the final
plat. Lot deeds may not be dissolved without the prior written consent of the City. No portion of the
association documents pertaining to the maintenance of the private streets and alleys and assessments
therefore [therefor] may be amended without the written consent of the City.

Inspection Fees charged for these services shall also apply. The City may periodically inspect private
streets and require repairs necessary to ensure emergency access.
I. Waiver of Services - The subdivision final plat, property deeds and property owners association
documents shall note that certain City services shall not be provided on private streets. Among the
services which will not be provided are: routine police patrols, street lighting, enforcement of traffic and
parking ordinances and preparation of accident reports. All private traffic regulatory signs shall conform
to the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Depending on the characteristics of the
proposed development other services may not be provided.
Petition to Convert to Public Streets - The property association documents shall allow the association
to request [that] the City accept private streets and alleys and the associated property as public streets
and right-of-way upon written notice to all association members and the favorable vote of 75% of the
membership. However, in no event shall the City be obligated to accept said streets and alleys as
public. Should the City elect to accept the streets and alleys as public, the City may inspect the private
streets and assess the lot owners for the expense of needed repairs concurrent with the City's
acceptance of the street and alleys.
The City will be the sole judge of whether repairs are needed. The City may also require, at the
association's expense, the removal of guard houses, access control devices, landscaping or other
aesthetic amenities located within the street lot. The association document shall provide for the City's
right to such assessment. Those portions of the association documents pertaining to the subject matter
contained in this paragraph shall not be amended without the written consent of the City.

association, as owner of the private streets and appurtenances, agrees to release, indemnify, defend

for damages and injury (including death) arising from the condition of said private street; for damages
and injury (including death) arising out of the use by the City, governmental entity or public utility of any
restricted access gate or entrance; and for damages and injury (including death) arising out of any use
of the subdivision by the City, governmental entity or public entity. Further, such language shall provide
that all the owners of all lots shall release the City, governmental entities and public utilities for such
damages and injuries. The indemnifications contained in this paragraph apply regardless of whether or
not such damages and injury (including death) are caused by the negligent act or omission of the City,
governmental entity or public utility, or their representative officers, employees or agents.

a. Sidewalks - Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with City standards for all lots adjoining
dedicated streets, along major thoroughfares where lots do not adjoin the street or in other areas as

American Bio Source LLC & Denton Biofuels LLC. Site Plan @ 100 N. 1" Street Sanger TX
We are investigating the option to move our renewable energy business to Sanger Texas at 100 N. 15t. Street the old
Donald Paddock Fertilizer and feed facility. The property outline is boxed in yellow below in illustration 1.
We believe in participating in the success of our community and have dedicated our business to doing good.
Our business recycles used fryer oils and waste and converts it into usable products such as Bio Diesel. We are dedicated
to being good stewards of our environment and doing what we can to make a difference. Founded in 2011 American Bio
Source now services nearly 1500 restaurants across all of Texas. We founded Denton Biofuels in 2014 and developed a
complete process to produce BioDiesel from waste fryer oil. We acquired Dieselgreen Fuels in 2016 adding biodiesel
distribution to our offering of services.
We currently employ 16 staff from Denton County with an average salary of $48k per year. Once the new facility is built
that will jump to 25 staff and continue growing to a max of 40. While our core business is recycling waste into energy we
are also a research and development company working with innovators on new technology and sources of clean and
renewable energy as well as hardware and software solutions to make the restaurant industry safer and cleaner.
The land consists of 2.19 acres and is zoned industrial. The existing building does not appear to be salvageable or
reusable. We plan on demolishing the old building. The tanks on site are beneficial to our process and we would retain
them.
Illustration 1:
American Bio Source LLC & Denton Biofuels LLC. Site Plan @ 100 N. 1" Street Sanger TX
Our current lease expires in December with a hold over option until January. We will need to setup temporary
operations while we develop the property. In an initial phase, we hope to relocate all of our equipment temporarily onto
the property for storage and establish a small covered working area on the north side and possibly a temporary
construction type office trailer. The illustration below depicts the area we might use as the initial covered work area or
building. After the property is fully developed we would reutilize this space for possible future retail sales options.
The first thing we will do is relocate all of our assets/equipment onto the property for storage, so we can exit our current
lease quickly. This will require us to setup at least a temporary fence around part of the property.
Then, we plan on building a —45 x 80 building on a
concrete containment foundation and begin operating
our basic fryer oil recycling operation temporarily. This
will enable us continuity of operation and supervision of
development efforts.
Our operation initially will entail a few small single axle
vacuum trucks that will offload the fryer oil they collect
from restaurants such as Babe's here in Sanger into a
cleaning system that will remove all the food and water.
We will then use our 2 semi -trucks to take that cleaned
oil to another biodiesel plant to have it made into
biodiesel. All processes will occur in a completely
contained area so there will never be a risk of spills or soil
contamination. We are registered with the EPA, TCEQ and
comply with every applicable regulation.
Simultaneously we will begin the TCEQ process to address
the existing soil contamination at this location caused by
the fertilizer leaks. Initial investigation has outlined a path
for this that may depend on the City of Sanger willingness
to adopt some minor ordinances to produce what is
called an "MSD" Municipal Setting Designation. This
process will likely take 6-18 months to complete if the
City of Sanger can adopt the ordinance timely.
Simultaneously, we will be working out the details for the
development of the property and as soon as reasonable
we would begin development of our new headquarters
and operating facility. Outlined in Illustration 3.
We very much would like to be a shining star of pride for
the City of Sanger.
American Bio Source LLC & Denton Biofuels LLC. Site Plan @ 100 N. 1" Street Sanger TX
The new facility would have 2 phases. The first phase is the development of the main plant building depicted in
illustration 3 below. This building will take over all loading and offloading with 2 drive through bays. The plant will be
one building, two stories in the front, and separated into multiple operating sections.
Illustration 3
For example, there will be an office area to the front and a
vehicle maintenance area also towards the front.
Biodiesel production would be on the rail road side of the
building.
Fryer oil cleaning and water pre-treatment or processing
would be adjacent to the biodiesel operation.
We would have asphalt drive ways and parking areas.
Preferably we would develop covered parking areas for
employees on the south side of the property. Truck parking
would be on the rail road side of the property north and
south.
Illustration 3 also depicts the pathways for trucks to drive
on and off the property. As well as a basic traffic flow.
Traffic in an out of the facility will consist of employees
coming to working, leaving and possible lunch but most will
likely walk to the downtown area for lunch. 3 single axle
vacuum trucks will depart each morning and return in the
evening. Also 1 or 2 full size semi -trucks will depart or
arrive the facility once per day. Overall, we do not add a
great deal of traffic to the community.
Please do not confuse us with grease traps. We only
recycle used fryer oil from specialized containers above
ground and very different.
Any noise on the property will be nothing compared to
trains passing by. So, we do not believe noise or traffic will
be an issue at all.
The illustrations 4 & 5 below are basic renderings done with the help of Rhino buildings online tools just to give an
outline of what the building might look like. The rendering is very limited and does not allow for simple things like
American Bio Source LLC & Denton Biofuels LLC. Site Plan @ 100 N. 1" Street Sanger TX
windows. Once the project is approved and funded we will develop highly detailed plans and renderings that will comply
with all building codes and specific use permit requirements.
In our main buildings office space, we would like to setup an education center to help educate students and the public
on the benefits of renewable energy and give tours of our facility.
Illustration 4
Illustration 5
In a later 3 d phase of this project, we invasion a retail operation providing access to renewable fuels currently
unavailable to consumers. The ideal situation would enable us to develop a retail renewable fuels center for consumers
to pick up products such as Biodiesel, CNG and other TBD renewable energy options as well as related items. We would
reuse the building and foundation from the initial temporary building at the north of the property.
What is a Municipal Setting Designation ?
In 2003, the Texas Legislature passed a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD) statute
which created a new alternative for persons addressing the groundwater contamination
they were responsible for causing, as well as for persons who "volunteer" to address
groundwater contamination.
An MSD is an official state designation given to property within a municipality or its
extraterritorial jurisdiction which certifies that designated groundwater at the property is
not used as potable water. Potable water is defined as water that is used for drinking,
showering, bathing, cooking, or for irrigating crops intended for human consumption.
Because that groundwater is contaminated in excess of the applicable potable -water
protective concentration level, this law prohibits its future use as potable water. Through
this locally -controlled program, the prohibition against using the designated groundwater
must either be in the form of a city ordinance or as a restrictive covenant that is
enforceable by the city and filed in the property records. This law also limits
investigation and remediation requirements for contaminated groundwater on MSD
properties. By offering this alternative to address the problem of contaminated
groundwater that will not be used as potable water, persons may be more inclined to
develop and redevelop properties in municipal areas that have contaminated groundwater.
Figure I illustrates an example MSD. The figure is a three-dimensional cross-section of
j I the ground beneath property in a city. In the cross-section, three different groundwater
zones are depicted. The box labeled "MSD Property" depicts the lateral and vertical
boundaries of the MSD.
Figure 1. Three-dimensional cross-section of an MSD property and the designated
groundwater zone
In this example, only Groundwater Zone 1 is contaminated. An MSD can only be
applied to existing contaminated groundwater zones, not to clean or uncontaminated
groundwater zones. Therefore, as indicated by the vertical boundary of the box, only
Groundwater Zone 1 is included in the MSD. The portion of Groundwater Zone 1 within
the MSD boundary is deemed the "designated groundwater" for the MSD and as such is
prohibited from current and future use as potable water.
Groundwater Zones 2 and 3 are not contaminated, and therefore they are not eligible for
inclusion in the MSD. In this example, only Groundwater Zone 1 within the boundary of
the MSD is prohibited as a potable water supply. Landowners adjacent to the MSD may
still drill potable water wells on their property, but unless there is a potable -water well
within one-half mile of that MSD boundary, the groundwater contamination will not be
investigated or remediated for potable -water use.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ's) Remediation Division
evaluates and determines whether groundwater contamination will spread and intercept a
sensitive receptor. The MSD statute requires that TCEQ notify all registered water well
owners within five miles of the proposed MSD boundary, and some municipalities have
additional notification requirements. This notice provides these water well owners with
an opportunity to comment on the proposed MSD designation.
In 2011, the Texas Legislature amended the MSD statute. The changes primarily
affected entities that are within the City of Houston's city limits such that, if certain
conditions are met, these entities would not be required to receive support from the local
Retail Public Utility.
TCEQ has issued over 180 MSD Certificates, with all but a few being in or near the
Dallas -Fort Worth or Houston metropolitan areas. For more information about MSDs,

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, and benefits
to all parties, IT IS AGREED as follows:
I. ADMINISTRATION
The participating authorities agree to hold a "Joint Election" with Denton County and
each other in accordance with Chapter 271 of the Texas Election Code and this

agreement. The Elections Administrator shall coordinate, supervise, and handle all
aspects of administering the Joint Election as provided in this agreement. Each
participating authority agrees to pay the Elections Administrator for equipment, supplies,
services, and administrative costs as provided in this agreement. The Elections
Administrator shall serve as the administrator for the Joint Election; however, each
participating authority shall remain responsible for the decisions and actions of its
officers necessary for the lawful conduct of its election. The Elections Administrator shall
provide advisory services in connection with decisions to be made and actions to be
taken by the officers of each participating authority as necessary.
It is understood that other political subdivisions may wish to participate in the use of the
