MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT #1
From: The Office of the Municipal Utility District#1 Date: 9-11-2007
Subject: Agenda Item No. B.4
Discuss and take appropriate action regarding Resolution 2007-0911, adopting and
approving the Budget for Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 for fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2007, and ending September 30, 2008.
EXPLANATION:
First, this budget as proposed incorporates a total tax rate of $.23238 for FY07-08 as compared
to this year’s current total tax rate of $.25000. The O&M Rollback rate is $.11164; however, this
proposed budget puts the total O&M tax rate below the rollback rate at $.11151. Should MUD1
desire to reduce and adopt a total tax rate to $.23000, it would have to utilize approximately
$12,400 in reserves.
Second, given all of the changes surrounding the Fire Department, here is a summary of major
changes made to its budget in order to avoid rollback since our last meeting in Aug:
• EMS/Fire Assessment Revenue from Town offset Fire Budget by approximately $12K.
Originally thought to be $30K, but further determined to be based upon Net Taxable
Value (after exemptions & discounts) rather than Market Value.
• Architect Fees added to Professional Services ($164K).
• Fire Station Remodel Contractual Obligation (CO) payment removed ($200K).
• Deputy Fire Chief position removed and placed back on Supplemental Funding Request
List ($30K after split with EMS).
Lastly, as a result of our teleconference on Aug 22, 2007 with Pete Tart (Bond Attorney) and
Dan Almond (Financial Advisor) with regards to available options concerning the Fire Station
Remodel payments, here is a summary of major points:
• Fire Station Remodel cannot be issued as a Contractual Obligation (CO) since it is a
building/facility (real property) and not classified as equipment (personal property). The
Fire Truck was issued as a CO and appropriately backed by the Fire O&M tax.
• Because the remodel is real property, it must be issued via a General Obligation Bond
within the Interest & Sinking Fund, which is voted by the citizens or possibly a Revenue
Bond. The question of a whether a Revenue Bond backed by water sales can support Fire
operations, is still pending, as well as, whether a Revenue Bond will require a vote by
the citizens.
• If a Revenue Bond is out of the question and a General Obligation Bond is indeed the
only option, the question still remains as to whether MUD1 will choose to issue the GO
solely with MUD2 making installment payments to MUD1 for its portion of the debt or
whether both MUDs will split the debt equally and both issue the GO. If MUD1 chooses
to issue the debt solely, an interlocal agreement will be required.
• If only one MUD issues the GO debt, issuance costs (bond attorney, financial advisor,
TCEQ, attorney general, bank administrative fees) will be lower since they will not
duplicated. Furthermore, the potential of receiving a better interest rate may be more
likely.
• If both MUDs issue the GO debt, MUD2 may first have to submit its application for and
get its Fire Protection Plan approved by TCEQ, and then have an election by the district.
Apparently, MUD1 accomplished this in the past, and we are in the process of trying to
determine via TCEQ and locate records as to whether MUD2 did the same.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.

Finance Director Dedrick explained the rollback tax rate calculation and addressed the Board’s
questions.
Attorney West advised that MUDs were mostly exempt from Rollback Taxes; however,
Legislation changed recently to include MUDs.
Finance Director Dedrick stated there is no limitation on debt. The Rollback Tax Rate is based
on appraisals and the O & M tax rate; which has been calculated by the Tax Office as .11164.
This is a combination of the Fire O and M and MUD 1’s O and M. With the addition of the costs
for the fire station and Fire Captain, the MUD 1 O & M tax rate is .12032, which is over by
about $45,000.
No action taken.
