THE FORMATION OF AN AUDIT COMMITTEE, APPOINTING

WHEREAS, Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”) is a water district
operating pursuant to Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code; and
WHEREAS, Tex. Water Code Ann. §49.199 requires that the Board of Directors of the District
adopt certain policies and procedures in writing, including a code of ethics, an expense policy, an

concerning the use of management information and the formation of an audit committee; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it necessary and advisable to designate the Finance

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

I.
The Board of Directors hereby adopts Attachments A through E hereof as its written policies and
procedures required by Tex. Water Code Ann. §49.199 and the Act.

ATTACHMENT A
CODE OF ETHICS
SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to set forth the standards
of conduct and behavior for the members of the Board of Directors of Trophy Club Municipal Utility
District No. 1 (the “District”), and its officers, employees, and persons handling investments for the
District (collectively with the Directors, the “District Officials”).
SECTION 2. Conflicts of Interest. The District adopts Chapter 171,
Government Code, as its Conflict of Interest Policy, the principal provisions of which are as follows:
Except where a majority of the Board of Directors is required to abstain from participation in a vote
because of conflict of interest, a Director will abstain from participating in a decision of the Board of
Directors which either (1) confers an economic benefit on a business in which the Director or a close
relative has a substantial interest, or (2) affects the value of property in which the Director or a close
relative has a substantial interest differently from how it affects other real property in the District. For
these purposes, a person is considered to have a “substantial interest” in a business if (1) he owns 10% or
more of the voting stock or shares of the business entity or owns either 10% or more or $5,000 or more of
the fair market value of the business entity; or (2) funds received from the business exceed 10% of his
gross income for the previous year. A Person has a substantial interest in real property if the interest is an
equitable or legal interest with a market value of $2,500 or more. A “close relative” of a Director for these
purposes is a person related to the Director within the first degree of affinity or consanguinity.
SECTION 3. Conduct of District Business. Each District Official will conduct all
business of the District in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
SECTION 4. Acceptance of Gifts. No District Official shall accept any benefit as
consideration for any decision, opinion, recommendation, vote, or other exercise of discretion in carrying
out his official acts for the District. No District Official shall solicit, accept, or agree to accept any benefit
from a person known to be interested in or likely to become interested in any contract, purchase, payment,
claim, or transaction involving the exercise of the District’s Official’s discretion. As used herein,
“benefit” shall not include:
(1) A fee prescribed by law to be received by a public servant or any other benefit to
which the District Official is lawfully entitled or for which he gives legitimate
consideration in a capacity other than as a District Official;
(2) A gift or other benefit conferred on account of kinship or a personal,
professional, or business relationship independent of the status of the recipient as a
District Official;
(3) A political contribution, as defined by the Election Code;
(4) A benefit consisting of food, lodging, transportation, or entertainment accepted
as a guest; or
(5) A benefit to a District Official required to file a financial statement under the
Texas Election Code that is derived from a function in honor or appreciation of the
recipient if
(A) The benefit and the source of any benefit in excess of$50.00 is reported
in the required financial statement;
(B) The benefit is used solely to defray the expenses that accrue in the
performance of duties or activities in connection with its official duties for the
District which are non-reimbursable by the District; or
(6) An item with value of less than $50, excluding cash or a negotiable instrument;
or
(7) An item issued by a governmental entity that allows the use of property or
facilities owned, leased, or operated by the governmental entity.
SECTION 5. Investment Officer. An investment officer of the District who has a
personal business relationship with an entity seeking to sell an investment to the District shall file a
statement disclosing that personal business interest. An investment officer who is related within the
second degree by affinity or consanguinity to an individual seeking to sell an investment to the District
shall file statement disclosing that relationship. A statement required under this section must be filed with
the Board and the Texas Ethics Commission.
ATTACHMENT B

SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Expense Policy is to set forth the policies of
Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”) concerning per diem and travel expenses for
members of the Board of Directors of the District.
SECTION 2. Per Diem for Directors. The Directors are entitled to receive as fees of
office $100 a day for each day of service necessary to discharge their duties; provided the fees shall not
exceed a sum of $6,000 per annum.
SECTION 3. Attendance at Meetings and Conduct of Other District Business. Board members
may attend conferences and meetings of the Association of Water Board Directors, at the District’s
expense, whether within or outside the Town of Trophy Club. Attendance at other conferences, hearings,

SECTION 4. Expenses Outside of Trophy Club. The District will pay a reasonable

SECTION 7. Extraordinary Expenses. Any extraordinary expenses for a Director attending a
sanctioned activity of the District must be approved by the Board prior to incurring the expense.
ATTACHMENT C
INVESTMENT POLICY
SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Investment Policy is to adopt rules and
regulations which clearly set forth the District’s investment strategy for each of the accounts under its
control, emphasize safety of principal and liquidity, address investment diversification, investment
limitations, and the quality and capability of investment management, to specify the scope of authority of
those officers or employees of the District designated to invest District Funds (defined herein as those
funds in the custody of the District and that the District has the legal authority to invest), to designate one
or more officers or employees of the District to be responsible for the investment of such District Funds,
and to provide for periodic review of the investment of District Funds.
SECTION 2. Investment Rules. The Board of Directors of the District adopts the rules
attached to this Attachment C as Exhibits 1 through 5 to govern the investment of District Funds and to
specify the scope of authority of those officers and employees of the District designated to invest District
Funds, which rules shall supersede any investment rules previously adopted by the District. The Board of
Directors directs that its Finance Director maintain the investments of the District in a manner consistent
with those rules and regulations, and with the Public Fund Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Government
Code.
SECTION 3. Review of District Investments. The Finance Director for the District will
report to the Board of Directors of the District at each of their regular meetings concerning the status of
District investments.
SECTION 4. Review of Policy. The Board shall review this Investment Policy and its
investment strategies at least once on an annual basis.
EXHIBIT “1”
GENERAL
The following rules shall apply to those funds in the custody of the District that the District has
the legal authority to invest (“District Funds”).
A. General Principles
The investment policy of the District is to invest District Funds only in instruments which
maintain the principal and liquidity of District Funds, to the extent necessary for District activities. Yield
earned on District Funds is a secondary consideration compared to safety of principal and liquidity;
however, if safety of principal and liquidity needs are met, the District will invest in instruments which
give it the highest yield, except when it must limit yield to comply with any limitations on the investment
of District Funds imposed on the District in connection with the issuance of bonds in order to comply
with the provisions of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any regulations
or rulings pertaining thereto.
B. Diversification
Should the District decide to invest funds in other than Texpool, then the following shall apply:
The District will continuously attempt to diversify its portfolio to reduce risk. The portion
of its investment portfolio invested in direct obligations of the U.S. Government or certificates of
deposit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will be diversified in terms of
maturity. If the portion of the District’s portfolio invested in obligations of federal agencies and
instrumentality exceeds $500,000, the District will attempt to invest in instruments of various
maturities. The District will not invest more than $500,000 in a certificate of deposit or deposits
issued by the same financial institution. The District recognizes that by investing District Funds
in investment pools, it can diversify its portfolio because each participant in the pool has a pro
rata share of a number of instruments, such as repurchase agreements with various providers.
C. Maturity
The District will not invest in an obligation which matures more than two years from the date of
purchase.
D. Quality and Capability of Investment Management
The District will employ a Finance Director who is experienced in investing public funds and will
consult with the District Manager on investment opportunities. The District will consult with its financial
adviser before investing in any investments which are new to it. The Board also recognizes that it may
take advantage of professional investment advice by investing in investment pools.
E. Depositories
All uninvested District Funds shall be deposited in the District’s depository bank or banks unless
otherwise required by orders or resolutions authorizing the issuance of the District’s bonds. To the extent
such District Funds in the depository bank or banks are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, they shall be secured in the manner provided by law for the security of District funds.
F. Disbursements
Any transfer of District Funds for the benefit of a third person shall, after approval by the Board,
be made by a draft executed by the Finance Director and the District Manager, or by wire transfer
pursuant to the District’s Wire Transfer Agreement with its depository bank.
G. Amendment
In the event State law changes and the District cannot invest in the investments described in this
policy, this policy shall automatically be conformed to existing law.
EXHIBIT “2”
A. Authorized Investments
District Funds may be invested in any category of investments authorized under the Public Funds
Investment Act, which has been approved by the Board. The following categories are approved:
1. Obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities;
2. Collateralized mortgage obligations directly issued by a federal agency or instrumentality
of the United States, the underlying security for which is guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of
the United States if the obligation is not:
a. an obligation whose payment represents the coupon payments on the outstanding
principal balance of the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and pay no principal;
b. an obligation whose payment represents the principal stream of cash flow from
the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and bears no interest;
c. a collateralized mortgage obligation that has a stated final maturity date of
greater than 10 years; and,
d. a collateralized mortgage obligation the interest rate of which is determined by
an index that adjusts opposite to the changes in a market index.
3. Other obligations, the principal and interest of which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured
by, or backed by the full faith and credit or, this state or the United States or their respective agencies and
instrumentalities;
4. Certificates of deposit issued by a state or national bank domiciled in this state or a
savings and loan association domiciled in this state which are (1) guaranteed or insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund or its
successor, or (2) secured by (a) obligations described in subcaptions 1, 2, or 3 above, or (b) obligations of
states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state rated as to investment quality
by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than A or its equivalent, or (c) secured in any
other manner and amount provided by law for deposits of the District; provided such obligations are
marked to market at least monthly, which have a market value at least equal to the deposit and are
pledged to the District only and held by a third-party custodian;
5. Obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any
state rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than A or its
equivalent;
6. An investment pool that meets the requirements of Public Funds Investment Act;
7. Other investments authorized by law and approved by the Board by resolution or minute
entry;
B. Monitoring Market Price of Investments
1. The Finance Director will monitor the market price of the District’s investments at least
quarterly and such information shall be included on each investment report. The following methods of
monitoring investments shall be utilized:
a. Certificates of deposit may be valued at their face value plus any accrued but
unpaid interest.
b. Shares in money market funds and investment pools may be valued at the current
share price.
c. Other investment securities may be valued in any of the following ways, at the
discretion of the bookkeeper:
(i) the lower of two bids for such investment securities from securities
dealers;
(ii) the average of the bid and asked prices for such investment securities as
published in The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times;
(iii) the bid price published by a nationally recognized pricing service; or
(iv) such other method as may be approved by the Board.
2. All transactions, except investments in investment pools and mutual funds, shall be
settled on a delivery versus payment basis.
EXHIBIT “3”
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The District’s investment strategy for each of its account follows:
1. Operating Account. The Operating Account is used for all operations and maintenance
needs of the District. The highest priority for this account is safety of principal and liquidity; when these
are met, yield is considered. An amount equal to two months of normal operations costs must be kept
extremely liquid for normal use; the amount in excess of two months of normal operational costs should
be kept in investments that may be liquidated easily if the need arises. The District’s general guidelines
for diversification and maturity apply to this account.
2. Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account is used to pay the District’s debt
service. The highest priority for this account is safety of principal. Since the District knows the amount of
its debt service and when it becomes due, investments for this account should be structured so that they
match debt service needs. When safety of principal and liquidity to match debt service are assured, yield
is considered. Since District Funds in this account may not be needed for a year or more, longer term
instruments should be considered, within the general guideline for maturity set forth in this investment
policy, to increase yield. Since the amount of District Funds in this account will probably be quite large,
diversification of investments may be necessary and the District’s general policy on diversification should
be used. Since investment pools are short-term in nature, they would normally be used for District Funds
in this account only for the time gaps between longer-term investments; however, on some occasions the
yield on these funds is higher than longer-term investments, so their use should not be circumscribed.
3. Capital Projects Account. The Capital Projects Account is used to pay for capital
projects of the district. The highest priority for this account is safety of principal. The District believes
that it will know ahead of time when disbursements need to be made from this account. Therefore,
investments in this account should be structured so they mature or can be liquidated on the dates
disbursements must be made. When safety of principal and liquidity to match disbursement dates are
assured, yield is considered. Since District Funds in this account may not by needed for a year or more,
longer term instruments may be considered, within the general guideline for maturity set forth in this
investment policy, to increase yield. Alternatively, bond proceeds which will reimburse the developer
may only be in the account for a day or two; in this case, an investment pool should be utilized. Since
investment pools are short-term in nature, they would normally be used for District Funds in this account
only if the District know it will be disbursing funds shortly; however, on some occasions the yield on
these funds is higher than longer-term investments, so their use should not be circumscribed.
EXHIBIT “4”
AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
The following rules shall apply to the officers and employees of the District designated to invest
District Funds.
1. No person may deposit, withdraw, invest, transfer, or otherwise manage District Funds
without express written authority of the Board of Directors of the District (the “Board”).
2. The Finance Director for the District, under the supervision of the District Manager, shall
invest and reinvest District Funds only in those investments authorized under this investment policy or by
the Board.
3. The Finance Director for the District, under the supervision of the District Manager, shall
prepare, at the end of each fiscal year, a written report concerning the District’s investment transactions
for such year and describing in detail the investment position of the District as of the date of the report.
The report shall be made to the District Manager, who shall review, approve, and sign such report and
deliver to the Board.
4. In the event District Funds are invested in certificates of deposit, the Finance Director
shall solicit bids from at least two bidders. Bids may be obtained orally, in writing, electronically, or in
any combination of those methods.
ATTACHMENT D
POLICY CONCERNING SELECTION, MONITORING,
REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS
SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Policy Concerning Selection, Monitoring,
Review, and Evaluation of Professional Consultants is to set guidelines for the Board of Directors for
Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”) concerning its Professional Consultants.
SECTION 2. Definition of Professional Consultant. “Professional Consultant” shall
include the District’s attorney, auditor, bookkeeper, financial advisor, and tax assessor/collector, and such
other consultants other than employees that the District may hereafter engage.
SECTION 3. Selection of Consultants. Whenever the Board of Directors of the District
decides to terminate the services of one or more of its Professional Consultants, the Board shall request
one or more proposals as required by the Professional Services Procurement Act, Section 2254.001 et
seq., Government Code, except where selection of professional consultants is to be conducted by the
Board in an open meeting, shall appoint a committee of one or two Directors to review any proposals
received by the Board, to interview applicants, and to make a recommendation to the entire Board of
Directors concerning the selection.

Consultants with annual contracts, the Board of Directors of the District will review the performance of
the Professional Consultants for the prior year at the time the contract is renewed. The Board of Directors
shall review the performance of its other Professional Consultants, upon the request of one or more
