points out that the City of Sanger goes off of property taxes and not sales tax.
Mr. Watson states as of September 30, 2020, Property tax increased by 7% due to rising property
values. Sale tax increased by 21% due to the growth in the local economy. Charges for services
increased by 7% primarily due to increases in building permit revenue collected in the current year.
Grants and contributions decreased by 9% due to nonrecurring funds received from an interlocal
agreement with Denton County for street construction in the prior year. Other revenues increased
by $144,286 primarily due to roadway impact fees received in the current year. All other revenues
remained relatively stable when compared to the previous year.

Act of Valor:
Are hereby recognized for their outstanding and meritorious actions toward their fellow man as described herein:
On 02/05/2020 at 00:50:00, the Sanger Fire Department was dispatched to a working fire residential fire
(Incident 2200165). While enroute to the scene, dispatch advised the home was filling with smoke, and all occupants
were evacuated from the structure. Units arrived on the scene, finding a residential structure pushing thick black smoke
out from every corner, along with fire showing from the address side. E672 established command, advised crews to
pull the skid load to the front of the home. As the Engine crew was deploying the hose line to the front door, a male’s
voice could be heard yelling from inside the residence. Dispatch was advised that E672 had a trapped
occupant inside the home and would be making entry. The hose line was placed into service at the front door pushing
the smoke, flames, and heat back so the crew could make entry into the structure to perform a search. Lt. Grimes, FF.
Enciso, and FF. Anderle made entry into the home, performing a lefthanded search into the B/C corner of the house
where the victim was located in the bathroom, unable to stand and walk due to the thick black choking smoke and
extreme heat. FF. Enciso and Lt. Grimes picked the victim up, carrying him out of the structure, while FF.
Anderle protected the exit route with the hose line. The victim was placed in the fire apparatus to keep him warm and
removed from the weather.
This incident was handled by four members of the Sanger Fire and saved the man’s life. This event was done under
extreme weather conditions along with limited manpower. The subject was trapped by both heavy fire and smoke and
would have perished had it not been for the crew entering the resident and carrying the subject out under extreme
conditions.

RE: McDonald’s 601 N. Stemmons St., Sanger, TX
To Whom it may Concern:
This letter is in reference to our attached application requesting a sign variance for the existing McDonald’s
restaurant located at 601 N. Stemmons St. We are requesting a sign variance to allow for a 100’ tall pylon
sign with 300 square feet of sign area. TxDOT has taken a portion of the property along the frontage for
their upcoming right-of-way expansion. The existing sign (100’ tall, 300 SF) is within the TxDOT
condemnation area, and will be required to be removed as a result of TxDOT’s right-of-way expansion.
The proposed sign will be located in the front of the building, setback a minimum of 15’ from the ROW
line.
Should you have any questions or need clarification on something, please feel free to contact us or the
McDonald’s Area Construction Manager for this project, Talal Medlej at 817-371-0977.
Regards,
Matthew D. Korte, PE

(1) Sign Allowance. The total area per face of a sign shall not exceed 1-1/2 square feet of face area for
each linear foot of building fascia length. Allowances for individual occupancies within a multiuse
building shall be calculated on leased or occupied fascia length. If the lot on which the building is located
has multiple right-of-way frontage, each street frontage shall be counted for purposes of determining
attached sign allowance. Said signage is to be applied (distributed) on the sides of the building where
facing directly adjacent to the public right-of-way. Alternate signage is allowed on sides of the building not
adjacent to the public right-of-way not to exceed 1/3 of the allowance or 25 square feet, whichever is less.
(2) Sign Location. Attached signs may be located on a building wall; but, if any part of the sign projects
above the ceiling line of the first floor, then no window or part of a window shall be situated within or
blocked by the flat wall sign. No such sign shall extend above the roof line of the building or more than 12
inches from the building wall. Where such signs are located on mansard-style roofs, and the building fascia
is not vertical, the bottom of such sign shall not project more than 12 inches from said roof and the sign
can be oriented in a vertical manner. The staff shall promulgate such graphic to illustrate sign location and
orientation.
(3) Sign and Letter/Logo Height in Relation to Building Height.

Such signage shall be located between the floor level of the top floor and the top of the fascia wall.
(b) On-Premises Detached Ground or Pole Signs.
(1) Pole signs shall be allowed only along the following linear segments of streets:
(A) I-35

(C) 5th Street from FM 455 North to I-35 service road
Page 23
(D) FM 455 from 5th Street to Acker Street
Note: If the stated linear segment does not reference a beginning or ending cross-street, the segment shall mean the
entire length of such street within the corporate limits or from the stated cross-street to the corporate limits, as the
case may be.
(2) The city council, upon specific application, may approve an exception to allow a pole sign at a
location where prohibited herein if the council determines that a general condition of pole signs exists in
the immediate vicinity and the proposed pole sign would be consistent with such established conditions.
(A) Pole Sign Regulations. Where allowed, pole signs shall conform to the following restrictions
and limitations.

* Pole sign not allowed. See regulations for ground signs which follow.
(B) Ground Sign Regulations. The maximum area of any ground sign as defined herein, is the
area allowed by Table 1. The required setback from a street right-of-way line is 3-1/2 feet.
Required setbacks from other property lines are as specified by Table 1. The maximum height of
any sign on a lot with less than 100 feet of street frontage adjacent to a street with a right-of-way of
70 feet or less and does not exceed 10 feet in height, it may be considered a ground sign; provided
that not less than 120 square feet of its area is below a height of 6 feet.
(C) Multiuse Signs. A multiuse sign that identifies a coordinated development site of more than
one use, such as a shopping center, office center, or industrial park, may have a sign area not larger
than 1.5 times the area allowed for a single-use sign on the site, or a maximum of 200 square feet,
whichever is less. A multiuse sign may contain a directory or listing of the occupants within a
center or multiuse development; provided that the directory portion of the sign shall not exceed 70
square feet or 60 percent of the total sign area whichever is less. If a directory is utilized, the
remainder of the sign area shall contain only the identification of the entire center or entire
development. If a multiuse sign area exceeds that allowed for a single use, no detached ground or
pole sign is allowed for any single use within the center or development, or for any use listed in a
directory on such sign.
Page 24
(D) When determining requirements for allowable detached ground or pole signs under the above
table, first determine the right-of-way width adjacent to the subject lot, then determine the lot
frontage. Next, determine the maximum square footage per side, setback from adjacent rights-of-
way and the maximum height by reading vertically below the applicable lot frontage. To calculate
the height of a sign, measurement shall be made from the top of the curb adjacent of the street upon
which a sign faces or from the natural ground level, if above curb level, to the top of the sign.
Construction of a berm or earthen mound for the purpose of increasing height of signage is
prohibited. For the purpose of calculating the distance from a street right-of-way line where the
existing street right-of-way width is less than that required in the thoroughfare plan and subdivision
ordinance, such distance shall be measured from the line of such right-of-way as required by such
plan or ordinance (adding equal amounts to each side of the existing right-of-way) rather than from
the existing right-of-way line. Freeways are as proposed by the thoroughfare plan of the city.
(E) No such sign shall be erected within 20 feet of the street intersection, unless the bottom of the
sign exceeds 42 inches in height above ground level, and the sign is set back from the right-of-way
as stated in Table 1.
(F) If the lot on which a building or buildings are located has multiple right-of-way frontages and
is 3 acres or greater, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted (one per frontage) based on
sign allowances in subsection (b) of this section. If such a building or buildings are located on a lot
less than 3 acres, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted with a maximum of 60 square
feet per side, per sign and a maximum height of 20 feet. On lots located at the intersection of a
major thoroughfare and a freeway, two detached ground or pole signs are permitted, the size to be
based on subsection (b) of this section. All detached signs shall have a minimum of 20 feet of
separation from the largest permitted sign.
(G) If two of the allowable detached signs are combined into one detached sign, then the signage
may exceed by 50 percent the total allowable signage of the largest permitted sign up to a
maximum of 200 square feet per side.
(H) When electrical service is provided to detached signs, all such electrical service shall be
underground.
(c) Automobile Dealership Signs.
(1) Number Per Lot.
(A) Primary Detached Signs. There shall not be more than 1 primary sign for each franchise up
to a maximum of 3 primary signs per dealership.

primary detached sign and a maximum of 24 feet in height.
(3) Minimum Separation. All signs shall be separated by a minimum distance of 100 feet.
(4) Banners and Pennants. Such signage is allowed on light standards and poles, as long as signage does
not exceed 20 square feet per pole or sign and is not strung or affixed in any manner other than from
brackets on single poles.

(i) stating that the parameters set forth in Section 3.1(b) have been satisfied (including a

(ii) identifying the Refunded Obligations and setting forth the terms and details for the
redemption prior to maturity (if applicable) of the Refunded Obligations and (iii) setting forth the
amount of proceeds of the Bonds to be deposited with the paying agent for the Refunded
Obligations.
Section 3.2.: Designation, Date and Payment Date. The Bonds shall be designated
as the “City of Sanger, Texas, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2021B.” Interest on
the Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date until maturity or prior redemption.
The Bonds shall be dated and bear interest at the fixed rate or rates of interest per annum (which
interest rate shall not exceed the Maximum Rate), calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months, determined in accordance with the procedures for the sale of
the Bonds set forth in Section 7.1 of this Ordinance. The Bonds shall mature and become
payable on the dates and in each of the years and amounts (either through serial maturities or
mandatory redemptions of term bonds) as determined by a Pricing Officer pursuant to
Section 7.1 of this Ordinance; provided that no Bond shall mature more than forty (40) years
after the dated date thereof.
Section 3.3.: Number, Denomination, Interest Rate and Maturity. (a) The Bonds
shall be initially issued bearing the numbers, in the principal amounts and bearing interest at the
rates and maturity dates as set forth in the Pricing Officer’s Certificate of Sale and may be
transferred and exchanged as set out in this Ordinance. Bonds delivered in transfer of or in
exchange for other Bonds shall be numbered in order of their authentication by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, shall be in the denomination of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof and shall
mature on the same date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which
they are delivered.
Section 3.4.: Redemption Prior to Maturity. (a) The Bonds shall be subject to
redemption prior to maturity on such dates, at such prices and in such amounts as shall be
provided in the Pricing Officer’s Certificate of Sale and upon the terms and conditions set forth
in Exhibit A to this Ordinance.
(b) Bonds may be redeemed in part only in integral multiples of $5,000. If a Bond
subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond may be
redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. In selecting portions of Bonds for
redemption, each Bond shall be treated as representing that number of Bonds of $5,000
denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. Upon
presentation and surrender of any Bond for redemption in part, the Paying Agent/Registrar, in
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so surrendered.
(c) Notice of any redemption, identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed, shall be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the Registered
Owners thereof at their addresses as shown on the Register, not less than thirty (30) days before
the date fixed for such redemption. By the date fixed for redemption, due provision shall be
Page 39
7
4136-2105-3739.1
made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the redemption price of the Bonds
called for redemption. If such notice of redemption is given, and if due provision for such
payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds which are to be so redeemed thereby
automatically shall be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, they shall not bear interest
after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being Outstanding except
for the purpose of being paid with the funds so provided for such payment.
Section 3.5.: Manner of Payment, Characteristics, Execution and Authentication.
The Paying Agent/Registrar is hereby appointed the paying agent for the Bonds. The Bonds
shall be payable, shall have the characteristics and shall be executed, registered and
authenticated, all as provided and in the manner indicated in the FORM OF BOND set forth in
Article IV of and Exhibit A to this Ordinance. If any officer of the City whose manual or
facsimile signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the
authentication of the Bonds or before the delivery of the Bonds, such manual or facsimile
signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had
remained in such office.
The approving legal opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Houston, Texas,
Bond Counsel, may be printed on the back of the Bonds over the certification of the City
Secretary, which may be executed in facsimile. CUSIP numbers also may be printed on the
Bonds, but errors or omissions in the printing of either the opinion or the numbers shall have no
effect on the validity of the Bonds.
Section 3.6.: Authentication. Except for the Bond to be initially issued, which need
not be authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar, only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication, substantially in the form provided in Article IV of and Exhibit A to
this Ordinance, manually executed by an authorized representative of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Ordinance or shall be valid or obligatory
for any purpose. Such duly executed certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence
that the Bond so authenticated was delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar hereunder.
Section 3.7.: Ownership. The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar and any other
person may treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such
Bond for the purpose of making and receiving payment of the principal thereof and interest
thereon and for all other purposes, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither the City nor
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. All
payments made to the person deemed to be the Registered Owner of any Bond in accordance
with this Section shall be valid and effective and shall discharge the liability of the City and the
Paying Agent/Registrar upon such Bond to the extent of the sums paid.
Section 3.8.: Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar is
hereby appointed the registrar for the Bonds. So long as any Bond remains Outstanding, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Register at its office in Houston, Texas, in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for
the registration and transfer of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Ordinance.
Page 40

4136-2105-3739.1
Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the
principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, accompanied by an assignment
duly executed by the Registered Owner or his authorized representative in form satisfactory to
the Paying Agent/Registrar. Upon due presentation of any Bond for transfer, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, within seventy-two (72)
hours after such presentation, a new Bond or Bonds, registered in the name of the transferee or
transferees, in authorized denominations and of the same maturity and aggregate principal
amount and bearing interest at the same rate as the Bond or Bonds so presented and surrendered.
All Bonds shall be exchangeable upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the
principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar for a Bond or Bonds, in any
authorized denomination, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount
of the Bond or Bonds presented for exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall be and is
hereby authorized to authenticate and deliver exchange Bonds in accordance with the provisions
of this Section. Each Bond delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with this
Section shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the
Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such Bond is delivered.
All Bonds issued in transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Registered Owners
thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or sent by United
States mail, first class, postage prepaid.
The City or the Paying Agent/Registrar may require the Registered Owner of any Bond to
pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with the transfer or exchange of such Bond. Any fee or charge of the Paying
Agent/Registrar for such transfer or exchange shall be paid by the City.
Section 3.9.: Book-Entry Only System. (a) The definitive Bonds shall be initially
issued in the form of a single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities thereof. Upon
initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC, and except as provided in subsection (b) hereof, all of the Outstanding
Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Upon delivery by
DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the word “Cede & Co.” in this Ordinance shall
refer to such new nominee of DTC.
With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the
City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC
Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the
Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the
records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in
the Bonds, (b) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Bondholder,
as shown on the Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, or (c) the payment to any DTC

Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section, the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is
registered in the Register as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption, if any, and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering
transfer with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective
owners, as shown in the Register as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective attorneys duly
authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an owner
shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of amounts due
pursuant to this Ordinance.
(b) Payments and Notices to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Ordinance to the contrary, as long as any Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds, and all notices with respect to such Bonds shall be made and given, respectively, in the
manner provided in the representation letter of the City to DTC.
(c) Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book-Entry Only System. In
the event that the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar determines that DTC is incapable of
discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the representation letter of the City to
DTC, and that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able to
obtain certificated Bonds, the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar shall (a) appoint a successor
securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC of the appointment of such successor securities depository
and transfer one or more separate Bonds to such successor securities depository or (b) notify
DTC of the availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to DTC
Participants having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds shall no
longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or
in whatever name or names Bondholders transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 3.10.: Replacement Bonds. Upon the presentation and surrender to the
Paying Agent/Registrar of a damaged or mutilated Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Bond, of the same maturity, interest
rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. The City or
the Paying Agent/Registrar may require the Registered Owner of such Bond to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith and any other expenses connected therewith, including the fees and expenses of the
Paying Agent/Registrar and the City.
If any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the City, pursuant to the
applicable laws of the State of Texas and ordinances of the City, and in the absence of notice or
knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall execute, and the

4136-2105-3739.1
Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, a replacement Bond of the same maturity,
interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding,
provided that the Registered Owner thereof shall have:

ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Bond;
(b) furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the City to save and hold them harmless;
(c) paid all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not limited
to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Paying Agent/Registrar and any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed; and
(d) met any other reasonable requirements of the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in lieu
of which such replacement Bond was issued presents for payment such original Bond, the City
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Bond from the
person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser,
and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of
any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar in
connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has become or
is about to become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
replacement Bond, authorize the Paying Agent/Registrar to pay such Bond.
Each replacement Bond delivered in accordance with this Section shall be entitled to the
benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which
such replacement Bond is delivered.
Section 3.11.: Cancellation. All Bonds paid in accordance with this Ordinance, and
all Bonds in lieu of which exchange Bonds or replacement Bonds are authenticated and delivered
in accordance herewith, shall be canceled and destroyed upon the making of proper records

certificates of destruction of such Bonds.

owners thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and all applicable temporary,
proposed and final regulations (the “Regulations”) and procedures promulgated thereunder and
applicable to the Bonds. For this purpose, the City covenants that it will monitor and control the
receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the Bonds (including all
property, the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or
indirectly with the proceeds of the Bonds) and take or omit to take such other and further actions
as may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the Regulations to
cause the interest on the Bonds to be and remain excludable from the gross income, as defined in
Section 61 of the Code, of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with each of the following
covenants:
Page 48
16
4136-2105-3739.1
(a) The City shall not use, permit the use of or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any
other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be
financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner which, if made or omitted,
respectively, would cause the interest on any Bond to become includable in the gross income, as
defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the City shall have received a
written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to the effect
that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal
income tax of the interest on any Bond, the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants
in this Section.
(b) Except as permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings
thereunder, the City shall, at all times prior to the last stated maturity of the Bonds,
(1) exclusively own, operate, and possess all property the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds
of such series of the Bonds (including property financed with Gross Proceeds of
the Refunded Obligations or notes or bonds refunded by the Refunded
Obligations and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds or any property
acquired, constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity
carried on by any person or entity other than a state or local government, unless
such use is solely as a member of the general public, or
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment for use of
Gross Proceeds of such series of the Bonds or any property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with
such Gross Proceeds (including property financed with Gross Proceeds of the
Refunded Obligations or notes or bonds refunded by the Refunded Obligations
other than taxes of general application and interest earned on investments
acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended
purposes.
(c) Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans
to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing
covenant, Gross Proceeds are considered to be “loaned” to a person or entity if (1) property
acquired, constructed or improved with Gross Proceeds (including property financed with Gross
Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations or notes or bonds refunded by the Refunded Obligations is
sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax
purposes, (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity
under a take-or-pay, output, or similar contract or arrangement, or (3) indirect benefits, or
burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or such property are otherwise
transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan.
(d) Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the final stated maturity
or final payment of the Refunded Obligations, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of
Page 49
17
4136-2105-3739.1
such Bonds in any Investment (or use such Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a
result of such investment the Yield of all Investments allocated to such Gross Proceeds whether
then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield on the Refunded Obligations.
(e) Based on all of the facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in
existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the City reasonably expects that the proceeds of
the Bonds and the Refunded Obligations (to the extent any of such proceeds remain unexpended)
will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or any
portion thereof to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Cod
(f) At all times while the Bonds are outstanding, the City will identify and properly
account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with the
Regulations. The City will monitor the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Bonds
and, to the extent required by the Code and the Regulations, will restrict the yield on such
investments to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. To the extent
necessary to prevent the Bonds from constituting “arbitrage bonds,” the City will make such
payments as are necessary to cause the yield on all yield restricted nonpurpose investments
allocable to the Bonds to be less than the yield that is materially higher than the yield on the
Bonds;
(g) The City will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any action, if taken or
omitted, would cause the Bonds to be treated as “federally guaranteed” obligations for purposes
of Section 149(b) of the Code;
(h) The City represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of any
new money portion of the Bonds or any new money issue refunded by, the Refunded Obligations
was invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(b)(A) of the Code) having
a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section
149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expected at the time each issue of the
Refunded Obligations was issued that at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the spendable
proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations would be used to carry out the governmental
purpose of such Bonds within the corresponding three-year period beginning on the respective
dates of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations.
(i) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain
amounts earned by the City on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, be
rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the
receipt, investment and expenditure of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to
calculate such excess arbitrage profits separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds
and accounts of the City allocable to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not
represent gross proceeds of any obligations of the City and retain such records for at least six
years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged, (ii) account for all gross
proceeds under a reasonable, consistently applied method of accounting, not employed as an
artifice or device to avoid, in whole or in part, the requirements of Section 148 of the Code,
including any specified method of accounting required by applicable Regulations to be used for
all or a portion of the gross proceeds, (iii) calculate, at such times as are required by applicable
Regulations, the amount of excess arbitrage profits, if any, earned from the investment of the
Page 50
18
4136-2105-3739.1
gross proceeds of the Bonds and (iv) timely pay, as required by applicable Regulations, all
amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. In addition, the City will exercise
reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations required by the
preceding sentence and, if such an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error
within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to the federal government of
any delinquent amounts owed to it, including interest thereon and penalty.
(j) The City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal
government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of
the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
government because such arrangement results in smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if such arrangement had been at arm’s length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party.
(k) The City will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the
Bonds on such form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(l) The City will not issue or use the Bonds as part of an “abusive arbitrage device”
(as defined in Section 1.148 10(a) of the Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing, the Bonds
are not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling the City to exploit
the difference between tax exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial
advantage, or (ii) increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations.
(m) Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds
are hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications as to facts, estimates or
circumstances in existence as of the Issue Date and stating whether there are facts, estimates or
circumstances that would materially change the City’s expectations. On or after the Issue Date,
the City will take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the continuous accuracy
of the representations contained in such certificates.
(n) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are for the
benefit of the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder and may be relied upon by the
Bond holder and any subsequent Bond holder and bond counsel to the City.
In complying with the foregoing covenants, the City may rely upon an unqualified
opinion issued to the City by nationally recognized bond counsel that any action by the City or
reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or Regulations contained in such opinion will not
cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes
under existing law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City’s representations and
obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section shall survive the defeasance and
discharge of the Bonds for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on the
Bonds from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.

Section 7.8.: Related Matters. In order that the City shall satisfy in a timely manner
all of its obligations under this Ordinance, the Mayor, City Secretary and all other appropriate
officers, agents, representatives and employees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to
take all other actions that are reasonably necessary to provide for the issuance and delivery of the
Bonds, including, without limitation, executing and delivering on behalf of the City all
certificates, consents, receipts, requests, notices, and other documents as may be reasonably
necessary to satisfy the City’s obligations under this Ordinance and to direct the transfer and

changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a
change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, but only if (1) the
provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or
sell the Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into
account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as
such changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance that
authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a
person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines

beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall
include with any amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance
with this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the

applicable provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such
provisions of the Rule are invalid, and the City also may amend the provisions of this Section in
its discretion in any other manner or circumstance, but in any case only if and to the extent that
the provisions of this sentence would not have prevented an underwriter from lawfully
purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to (a) such

consistent with the Borrower’s present budgetary and financial circumstances, and no funds of the
Borrower have been reserved, allocated, or otherwise set aside with the specific intent or
expectation of payment of the expenditures intended to be reimbursed with proceeds of the
Obligations pursuant to this declaration. The Borrower is not aware of other, similar declarations
of intent of the Borrower that did not result in the reimbursement of the expenditures described
therein. Based on the foregoing and other circumstances relating to the costs of the Project, the
Borrower reasonably expects that it will reimburse expenditures paid for such Project with the
proceeds of the Obligations.

MEMORANDUM
To: Jeriana Staton, Interim City Manager
From: Clayton Gray, Finance Director
Date: February 10, 2021
Re: Budget Amendment for Legal Services and Personnel Costs
The budget for legal services was increased to $150,000 for the 2020-2021 budget. Year to date legal
expenses are $47,623, leaving a budget balance of $102,377. With an attorney now on staff, the
expectation is that the cost of outside legal counsel will drop significantly. The budget for Legal
Expenses should be reduced $17,950 to offset the increase in the Administration Department described
below. This will leave $84,427 in the budget for legal services.
Changes to positions in the Administration Department [(1) the addition of the City Attorney position
and (2) the change of the “Assistant to the City Manager” to “Assistant City Manager” position] will
require a budget amendment to fund these positions. Taking into consideration the savings realized
from unfilled positions in Administration, personnel expenses should be increased $17,950.
The 2020-21 Annual Budget, therefore, should be amended to decrease expenditures in the Mayor and
Council Department by $17,950 and increase expenditures in the Administration Department by
$17,950. The net effect is a $0 change to the budget.
Description Increase Decrease
180-10-5425 Legal Services 17,950$
180-15-5110 Regular Salaries 6,800$
180-15-5128 Auto Allowance 7,000$
180-15-5129 Cell Phone Allowance 225$
180-15-5130 FICA 1,200$
180-15-5140 Retirement 1,350$
180-15-5160 Workers Compensation 1,375$
Total 17,950$ 17,950$
Internal Service Fund
G/L Account
These positions will increase expenses in the Administration Department for future years. Had these
positions had been funded for all of 2020-2021, total personnel expenses for the City would have
increased 4%.

It is a pleasure for Chris Hartung Consulting, LLC to submit to you this proposed work plan and supporting

The philosophy of Chris Hartung Consulting, LLC regarding filling key executive positions in local government
is based upon the belief that the best (and maybe only) predictor of success in a position is past success in the
same or a similar position. Wi th this principle in mind, our approach to an executive search assignment is to
begin the process by developing a current and accurate description of the background, qualifications, personal
characteristics and initial priorities for the position. The balance of the assignment is focused on developing a
pool of candidates meeting the profile through an aggressive solicitation and screening process that is intended to
result in a final group of highly qualified candidates meeting the profile for the client to interview. During the
engagement, Chris Hartung Consulting, LLC will guide the City Council with advice at key decision points and
by providing logistical support through the handling of applicant communications.
Chris Hartung Consulting, LLC is dedicated to conducting executive search assignments in accordance with the
spirit and the intent of equal opportunity laws and regulations. We are proud of the record we have established
in being able to recruit and refer candidates from protected classes including women and minority applicants.
I will be happy to discuss this work plan and answer any questions at your convenience. Please call me at 469-

other key stakeholders including city personnel and/or members of the community to gather additional
perspectives on the position. During the initial discussions regarding this engagement, the Consultant will also
gather information from the City staff to be used in the development of a community profile to be included with
the advertising piece to be developed for this recruitment.
We realize that often the decision to apply for a municipal executive position is a family decision as much as it is
a career decision. For that reason, we will promote the Sanger position as not only a good career opportunity, but
also promote the area as a great place to live. Because of our previous experience with the City of Sanger, we
believe we are in a good position to be a strong advocate for this position.
The Consultant will ask the City to designate one person to be the Project Coordinator and the primary contact
for this recruitment. In addition, the Consultant will present an updated schedule for this assignment and will get
concurrence from the City Council for the schedule.
Following the initial stakeholder interviews, the Consultant will develop a profile describing the ideal candidate
background as well as the priority issues which will face the new executive during the first twelve to twenty-four
months of employment. This profile will be submitted to the Mayor and City Council for review and approval
before its use in Task Two. Once the City has approved a profile, the Consultant will prepare a brochure based
upon the profile to be used as an advertising piece during Task Two. The completed brochure will include
instructions to interested parties indicating that they should forward their resume and other information directly
to the Consultant. A sample brochure from the Bastrop recruitment is attached to this proposal.

As part of Task One, the consultant will also advise the City Council regarding the placement of ads in various
professional organization job posting web sites and/or journals as mutually agreed to by the Consultant and the
City. This assistance will include the development and placement of ad copy for this position. Typical ad
placements for the position of City Manager include the job boards of various professional organizations such as
the Texas Municipal League and the International City/County Management Association.
TASK TWO: RECRUITMENT OF OUTSTANDING CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITION
Following completion of Task One and placement of the advertising, the Consultant will undertake a process of
contacting, directly by telephone and electronically, individuals in city management as well as local government
officials, consultants, and others with knowledge of local government to identify potential candidates for the
position. Our experience in similar searches of this kind has shown us that often the best qualified candidates are
not in the active job market and may not respond to traditional advertising approaches or to spam e-mails. The
Consultant will focus his efforts on personal outreach and extensively circulating the brochure developed during
Task One. Throughout this effort, the Consultant will actively promote this position as a good career and family
opportunity.
The Consultant will acknowledge receipt of all resumes to the applicants and will prepare a master list of
applicants for this position. It is recommended that the position be posted by the City as “Open until filled”, so
that resumes which come in after the first review date can be considered.
TASK THREE: INITIAL SCREENING OF THE APPLICANT POOL
Following the first review date, the Consultant will begin the screening process. Initially, applicant information
will be reviewed to allow the Consultant to eliminate candidates whose information does not indicate the
background and qualifications desired by the City as described in the profile developed in Task One. The
Consultant will identify candidates who appear to meet the minimum qualifications and experience desired by
the City. A questionnaire will be submitted to these candidates seeking additional information about the
applicant's background and accomplishments in several specific areas of importance to the City of Sanger as
described in the profile developed in Task One.
Once the questionnaires have been completed and returned to CHC, it is anticipated that the Consultant will meet
with the City Council to discuss the pool of candidates for the position. The objective of this discussion will be
to identify a group of six to ten candidates for the Consultant to invite to participate in a video interview and a
telephone interview with the Consultant. Chris Hartung Consulting, LLC is proud to be able to make available
video interviewing through Interviewstream. (See information on page 3.) The video interviews will be
designed to provide the Consultant and the Client with additional information about these applicants’
experiences and accomplishments as well as provide an opportunity to see and hear their responses to the
questions. The City Council will be provided with a link to the Interviewstream website which will provide
access to the video interviews at the convenience of the reviewer.
The Consultant telephone interviews are intended to provide the Consultant with additional information about
the candidates to allow the development of a recommendation to the City Council for a group of four to six
candidates to be designated as finalists who will be scheduled for interviews with the City Council in Sanger.
During this Task, the Consultant will conduct an Internet search for information published about any of the
potential finalists.
As a final step in this Task, the Consultant will meet with the City Council to discuss the results of the initial
screening of the candidates and the video interviews. The objectives of this meeting will be to identify the
finalists to be interviewed by the City Council and to develop a schedule for the final interview process. With
concurrence of the City, the Consultant will move forward to Task Four, Gathering of Reference Information.

TASK FOUR: GATHERING OF REFERENCE INFORMATION
Upon completion of Task Three, the Consultant will obtain a release from this group of finalists, allowing him to
contact references and to gather information about his/her background including education verification in
accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The candidates will also be given information
about the schedule for interviews in Sanger. The main effort in Task Four will be to contact named and unnamed
references to gather information about what others think about the work experience and accomplishments of the
potential finalists. The Consultant will request at least ten named references from the candidates and will contact
at least seven of them. We will also contact other individuals familiar with the candidates’ work experience but
not named as references as well. Because we consider the reference calls a vital part of the screening process,
Chris Hartung will personally contact these individuals. This task will not be delegated to support personnel.
In addition, if authorized by the City, the Consultant will investigate social media, court records, driver license,
and educational clearinghouses to determine if there are any problems in these areas of a candidate's background
that the City Council should be aware of. If negative information is discovered during this Task, the City Council
will be informed as soon as possible.
TASK FIVE: FINAL INTERVIEW PROCESS AND COMPLETION OF SEARCH
As part of the base fee, the Consultant will be available to assist the City Council as needed in the preparation
and conduct of the final interviews for this position in Sanger. The Consultant will notify finalists about the
schedule and other details of the interview process. Candidate travel expenses are the responsibility of the City.
The Consultant will prepare a binder containing information on the finalists for this position for the City
Councilmembers. This information will be sent to the City several days prior to the interviews. The information
included in the Final Book will include the resumes and other information provided by the candidates, the
questionnaire completed by the finalists, the interview notes from the Consultant's interview with the finalists as
well as the written reference notes. (Reference notes are typically only provided to the hiring authority and those
in the hiring chain, but not to potential peers, subordinates or outside panel members.) The Final Books will also
include a set of suggested interview questions for the City Council. The Consultant will be available to attend the
final interviews, not to participate in the questioning of candidates, but to assist the City Council and facilitate
discussion if desired.
Following completion of the interviews for a position, the Consultant will also be available to assist in
negotiations of a salary and benefit offer and/or employment agreement with the selected candidate.
GUARANTEE
CHC is offering a three-way guarantee to the City of Sanger if selected to conduct the search as outlined in this
work plan. (1) If for some reason, the City is not able to appoint a candidate following the initial group of
interviews for a position, the Consultant will work to develop an additional group of finalists for the position for
the City Council to consider. CHC will stay with the process until an appointment is made for the basic fee
outlined in the proposal dated January 27, 2021. (2) CHC also commits to not solicit any selected candidate for
other search assignments during his/her tenure with the City of Sanger. (3) If the candidate selected as a result of
this contract is terminated or resigns within twelve months of appointment, CHC will conduct a new search to
fill the position for no additional fee, but only with the reimbursement of out-of pocket expenses.
