2010 RATE ORDER
TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT No. 1
ORDER No. 2010-0914
AN ORDER ESTABLISHING POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND
RATES FOR WATER AND SEWER SERVICE; PROVIDING FEES
FOR CONNECTION, RECONNECTION, INSPECTION,
ACCURACY READINGS, AND RETURNED CHECKS;
REQUIRING DEPOSITS FOR SERVICE; PROVIDING A PENALTY
FOR DELINQUENT PAYMENTS; AND CONTAINING OTHER
PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.
WHEREAS, Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”) is
the owner and/or operator of a water and sewer system designed to serve
present and future inhabitants within the District and the Trophy Club
development; and
WHEREAS, the District’s most recent Rate Order was adopted on
September 15, 2009 (the “2009-2010 Rate Order”), several additional
modifications are needed at this time, and the District desires to establish all of
its rate policies in a single new Rate Order; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the District has carefully considered
the terms of this 2010 Rate Order and is of the opinion that the following
conditions and provisions should be established as the policies, procedures, and
rates for obtaining service from the District’s water and sewer system.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 THAT:
ARTICLE I
TAP FEES AND CONNECTION POLICY
Section 1.01. Initiation of Water and Sanitary Sewer Connections.
Each person desiring a water and sanitary sewer service connection to the
District’s System shall be required to pay such fees as set forth in this Order. No
service shall be established or re-established until such fees are paid. All service
connections are subject to all other rules, regulations, and policies of the District.
TCMUD No. 1 29 of 93 14 Sept 2010
A. Certification of System. Connections shall not be made to
the District’s System or portions of the System until the District’s engineer
or Water/Wastewater Superintendent has certified that the System or
applicable portion thereof is operable.
B. Backflow Prevention. No water connections from any public
drinking water supply system shall be allowed to any commercial
establishment where an actual or potential contamination hazard exists
unless the public water facilities are protected from contamination.
At any commercial establishment where an actual or potential
contamination hazard exists, protection shall be required at the meter in
the form of a backflow prevention assembly. The type of assembly
required shall be the one known as “Reduced Pressure Zone” (RPZ)
unless otherwise specified by the District through its Superintendent.
The existence of potential contamination hazards without installation
having been made of the means of control and prevention as set out in the
preceding paragraph; or, the same having been installed, there is a failure
to properly maintain the same, shall be considered sufficient grounds for
immediate termination of water service. Service can be restored only
when the health hazard no longer exists, or when the health hazard has

SERVICE POLICY
Section 3.01. Security Deposits. Security deposits shall be required as
follows:
A. Builder’s Deposit A seventy-five dollar ($75.00) security
deposit shall be required of builders for each tap made by the District for
such service connection, payable at or prior to the time that such tap is
made, and the security deposit is refundable to the builder when the
account is later transferred to an owner if that account and all other
accounts of the builder are current at the time of the transfer; but, if that
account or any other account of the same builder is not current at the time
of such transfer to an owner, then the security deposit shall be applied
against the outstanding balance of the builder’s account(s) at the time of
such transfer. The District shall deduct from the deposit the cost to repair
any damage caused to the District’s property by the builder or the builder’s
employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents and shall deduct any
delinquent water and sewer service bills of the builder. In the event any
amounts are so deducted from the builder’s deposit, it will be incumbent
on the builder to reinstate the original amount of the deposit, and failure to
do so will result in the suspension of any additional water taps for the
builder.
B. Residential Owners. A security deposit of fifty dollars
($50.00) shall be required from each residential owner customer for a
single-family home connected to the District’s system. The security
deposit is refundable to the customer when the account is later closed if
that account is current at the time it is closed. However, if the account is
not current at the time it is closed, then the security deposit shall be
applied against the outstanding balance of the customer’s account at that
time.

the operating budget of the water/sewer fund to help in providing the
lowest possible water and sewer rates for our customers.
Section 3.02. Billing Procedures. All accounts shall be billed in
accordance with the following:
A. Due Date and Delinquency. Charges for water service,
sewer service, and standby fees shall be billed monthly. Payment shall be

twentieth (20th) day of the month, such account shall be considered
delinquent. If the due date falls on a holiday or weekend, the due date for
payment purposes shall be the next working day after the due date. The
District shall charge a penalty on past due accounts calculated at the rate
of ten percent (10%) per month on water, sewer and standby charges.
The rates for water and sewer service shall depend upon the type of user
and upon whether the water used has been chemically treated, as
provided in this Rate Order. All accounts not paid by the due date shall be
deemed delinquent and failure to make payment thereafter may result in
the termination of water and sewer service.
B. Notice and Appeal. Prior to termination of service, a
customer who is delinquent in payment shall be sent a notice that service
will be discontinued on or after the fifteenth (15th) day after the date of
such notice unless payment in full is received before by such day
disconnection is scheduled. Notice shall be sent by first class United
States mail and shall inform the customer of the amount of the delinquent
bill, the date service will be disconnected if payment is not made, and of
the customer’s right to contest, explain, or correct the charges, services,
or disconnection. Service shall not be disconnected where a customer
has informed the District of his or her desire to contest or explain his bill.
If the customer appears before the Board, in person or by written
correspondence, the Board shall hear and consider the matter and inform
the customer of the Board’s determination by sending written notice to the
TCMUD No. 1 39 of 93 14 Sept 2010
customer by first class United States mail stating whether or not service
will be disconnected. If service is disconnected, it shall be reconnected
only upon payment in full of all amounts due, including any late charges,
penalties, and the security deposit set out in Section 3.01. If payment is
not received prior to the date that disconnection has been scheduled, a
service charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) will be added to the account.
Reconnections made outside of the District’s normal business hours at the
customer’s request will be charged at an additional after hour’s fee of one-
hundred dollars ($100.00).

charges, “normal” or ”regular” business hours shall mean only the hours
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and between 7 a.m.
and 9 a.m. Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. All other times are outside
of the District’s normal business hours and will result in the higher charge.

be charged to the customer’s account for any check returned by the bank.
Any amounts due on an account which have been paid with a check that
has been returned by the bank must be paid in full by cash, cashier’s
check or money order, including all late charges and returned check
charges, within five (5) days from the day the District hangs a notice on
the customer’s door or otherwise notified the customer that the check has
been returned by the bank.

dollars ($25.00) shall be made on customer requested same-day service.
As an example, this charge will be implemented upon request by a
customer for same-day service to start or terminate water and sewer
service or to perform re-reads the same day as requested.
G. Accuracy Reading Fee. A meter accuracy reading fee in
the amount of ten dollars ($10.00) shall be charged to a customer by the
District for each meter accuracy reading made by the District for such
customer when the original reading appears to be accurate. If the original
meter reading appears to be in error, no fee will be charged. Each
customer will be allowed one accuracy meter reading per calendar year at
no charge. Should a customer request that the meter accuracy reading be
made by an outside source, then a fee of eighty dollars ($80.00) will be
charged to the customer. If the original meter reading is found to be in
error, then the customer will be given a credit offsetting the amount of the
charge.

ARTICLE IV
INDUSTRIAL WASTE
Section 4.01. Policy. The following policy regarding industrial
waste shall be effective:
A. Definition. “Industrial waste” shall mean the water-borne
solids, liquids, and/or gaseous wastes (including Cooling Water), resulting
from any industrial, manufacturing, trade, business, commercial, or food
processing operation or process, or from the development of any natural
resource, or any mixture of such solids, liquids, or wastes with water or
domestic sewage. The Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended, and the
General Pretreatment Regulations contained in 40 C.F.R. §403 contain
the requirements for user’s discharge of industrial waste into wastewater
facilities.
B. Industrial Waste Discharge-Charges and Rates. If any
customer of the District’s sanitary sewer system proposes to discharge
industrial waste into such system, the Board of Directors of the District
shall request the recommendation of the District Engineer and shall
establish rates and charges to provide for an equitable assessment of
costs whereby such rates and charges for discharges of industrial waste
correspond to the cost of waste treatment, taking into account the volume
and strength of the industrial, domestic, commercial waste, and all other
waste discharges treated and techniques of the treatment required. Such
rates shall be an equitable system of cost recovery which is sufficient to
produce revenues, in proportion to the percentage of industrial wastes
TCMUD No. 1 42 of 93 14 Sept 2010
proportionately relative to the total waste load to be treated by the District
for the operation and maintenance of the treatment works, for the
amortization of the District’s indebtedness for the cost as may be

Body
Excerpt from June 15, 2010 Meeting Minutes:
Discuss and take appropriate action concerning funding options for Trinity Well No. 2 and High Speed
Pump. (Scott)
Staff seeks direction from the Board regarding funding options (1. Line of Credit @ 3.9% interest or 2. Use Reserves) for
Trinity Well No. 2 and for the High Speed Pump.
District Manager Scott advised that initially a loan was approved at 3% interest to purchase the High Speed
Pump and to drill the Trinity Well. Scott seeks direction from the Board to either use financing (3% interest) or
use reserves.
President Thomas suggested holding off on funding options for the Trinity Well until the cost is determined.
District Manager Scott advised that the cost for the High Speed Pump is approximately $240,000 total.
Director Sanders is in favor of using reserved funds for the High Speed Pump for an amount not to exceed
$240,000 to come from the designated fund balance in the Fire Station Construction account.
Finance Director DuBose stated that we would do a Budget Amendment.
Director Armstrong asked to go back to discuss Agenda No. 11 for clarification. Armstrong asked District
Manager Scott if we get this thing in the hole before October we don't have to worry about paying the
additional costs you are talking about.
District Manager Scott verified that we may not be able to drill this well once this new policy comes into effect
in Denton. It is currently in effect in Tarrant County. Scott stated he does not have a timeline as to when this
may occur; however, at this time he feels it may be some time after the first of the year.

Date:Wednesday, June 09, 2010 12:03:54 AM
Mary, please forward the following to the directors and Robert. It is a joint e-mail from me and
Bob West regarding legal services. Thank you very much.
ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION
Dear Directors and Staff,
At the May 18, 2010 MUD1 Board meeting, a question was asked by a member of the Board as to
what legal functions each attorney performs for the District and how we work together to perform
those functions. We have been working in coordination with each other for the past 11 years and
we have worked as co-counsel for the consolidated MUD1 since the May 9, 2009 consolidation
election. The working relationship between us is productive, and we believe it gives MUD1
excellent legal coverage. We each have our areas of strengths, and we complement each other
well. In addition to our various areas of representation (listed as follows), we alternate meeting
attendance. Pam attends odd month meetings, and Bob attends even month meetings, but we
have traded out months when needed to provide proper coverage for the topics that are on the
agenda or when one of us is unavailable for a particular meeting.
Pam’s areas of primary responsibility are: Open Government (Public Information Act, Open
Meetings Act, Agenda Item drafting, etc.); Personnel issues; Ethics Challenges, Ethics Order drafting
and Rules of Procedure; Requests for Public Information; Attorney General’s office interfacing and
correspondence; Constitutional issues; Elections; and Enforcement.
Bob's primary areas of responsibility are: Contracts; Property-related matters (deeds, easements,
leases, Amendments to District Information Form, etc.); Oil, gas, and minerals; Bidding
requirements; Legislative watch; Bonding and financing (including bond counsel interfacing);
Property taxes (interfacing with Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott on property tax
collections); TCEQ interfacing; and Historical data.
Both of us handle Litigation as needed, depending on the subject of the litigation.
Both of us also have played a strong role in strategic planning for the District.
Please let us know if you have any questions or desire additional information. Both of us are happy
to serve as you desire.
Thank you,
Pam Liston Bob West

District Manager Scott advised there were four pieces of Clubcorp property, Fourth

notified of this omission and subsequently submitted a bill to Clubcorp for
approximately $35,000 for the taxes and interest due for past five years. Clubcorp
was not billed attorney or penalty fees.
Attorney West advised further that the Clubcorp property was properly annexed into
MUD 2 several years ago by Trophy Club MUD 2; however, Clubcorp was never
billed. Clubcorp has paid their tax bills, which went back five (5) years, and the tax
bill was not protested. West feels the issue is moot since the tax bill has been paid;
therefore, West advised that there is no action for the Board to take on this item.

Meeting Minutes

2010-2011.
Preliminary Draft Budget FY10-11-M1.pdfAttachments:
District Manager Scott and Finance Director DuBose addressed Director Sanders
budget questions. Scott advised that City of Fort Worth would be going up
approximately 10% on water costs in January of 2011.
Director Carr stated that in last year's budget, District Manager Scott cut back on
installation of new electronic water meters. Carr would like to see all the communities
have electronic water meters.
Director Sanders distributed a sheet entitled, Budget Discussion Items and the Board
discussed same.
Director Sanders stated his objective is to try to lower our tax rate by two (2) cents;
however, he is not sure if it is possible. Sanders has perused the budget and current
financial statements and had the following observations he wished to bring up for
consideration.
Item No. 1 - Page 29 of Packet - Fund Balance for O&M is $2.9 million with a little
over 2 million is unrestricted, and Sanders thought that the directors of the previous
boards established a fund policy balance. Sanders knows the Town did, and asked if
the Board had such a policy. Director Carr stated there was no written policy.
Item No. 2a refers to Page 30 of the Packet - O&M Expense Statement. The Board
of Directors expense is only 51% spent of the budget and it should come in,
according to Sanders' calculations, with $16,000 left in the line item. Sanders is just
making Board aware where there is some money available.
Item No. B - refer to Page 30 of the Packet - Information Services - Line Item that is
62.1% of the budget, it would be left with almost $86,000 in the budget.
Finance Director DuBose stated that in the notes that there are annual transfers to
reserves for future replacement that is not reflected until the month of September, so
that is part of the reason that is under budget for the fiscal year to date.
Director Sanders stated that it would be nice to know what are those transfers going
to be and where do we think we would end up?
Director Carr stated we have a Scada System, which monitors the water system, the
Scada System is getting old, and that line item may change if that items needs to be
replaced.
Director Sanders stated that he hopes to end the year with a couple hundred
thousand worth revenue over expenses that would increase our fund balance. If we
can come up with $200,000 worth of money not spent in the current year budget, if
we're satisfied with our operating fund balance, then that becomes available to us to
buy down the rate.
Director Sanders referred to Item 3 - Page 32 of the Packet - Interest and Sinking
Balance Sheet - we have almost $1.5 in the current fund. Item B - Page 33 of the
Packet - we have the two payments Finance Director DuBose mentioned that she is
going to do those wires shortly; one of interest and one for the final Bond payment, so
we should end the year at roughly $286,000 in our I and S Fund.

August 17, 2010Trophy Club Municipal Utility
District No. 1
Meeting Minutes
Finance Director DuBose stated that it is about $239,000. The large payment we are
anticipating coming in the month of August that we talked about earlier associated
with the Clubcorp. DuBose added that one of the reasons that Fund Balance was at
$230,000 was because of the TCEQ requirement for the money set aside for the year
that we issued Bonds. One of the things we will look at is if that requirement will be
going down, so there may be some flexibility there.
Director Sanders referred to Page 35 of the Packet, the Fire O & M Balance Sheet
has an undesignated fund balance of $400,000. Sanders wasn't sure why we
maintain that fund balance.
Finance Director DuBose stated the Fire Department is solely funded by your taxes,
and because the taxes don't usually come in until December/January time frame,
what we try to do is during the year is accumulate enough to cover until the taxes
come, so we need at least three months' worth of revenue/operation.
Director Sanders asked what three months of revenue would be?
Finance Director DuBose stated that the unexpended balance for the MUD Fire
Department for the rest of the fiscal year is about $250,000. Last month was a slow
month, but it was about $60,000/month for expenditures.
Director Sanders then referred to Item B - the Fire O&M Revenue and Expense
Statement shows that there is a balance of the budget of $68,000 for capital
expenses, will we spend this in the next two months?
Finance Director DuBose stated that a lot of that is to transfer to your debt service to
pay some of the debt associated with borrowing for the Fire Truck, which comes due
in September.
Director Sanders stated that if we were to go back to the massive spreadsheet that
Mr. Twomey, back during Consolidation days, it was forecasted in the 2010-2011 that
Legal would be $5,000, and that's not what we're budgeting at this point. Also in
those sheets, it was forecasted in the 2010-2011 budget that the tax rate could be
$0.193347, which is not far from the original figure that we were talking about today,
of the $0.20, that's very close to the forecast, and the 2011-2012 forecast is at $0.12;
and that's because there is less debt payment at that point. It's nice to see that it's
close to see what's happening. What is interesting is that there is $39.1 million
dollars worth of less forecasted property value. So if you took that spreadsheet and
look at the forecasted property value for 2010-2011, we came in $39 million less than
what was forecasted, but we're not able to get the rate below the $0.19. Sanders
would really like to see where we can accomplish this task, recognizing that the Town
is faced with a couple of things. They have increased debt payment coming online,
because of the $5 million Park Bond. We're growing, and there's more expense to
handle that growth; the Parks Department especially. The MUDs won't be able to
help that budget too much until the next year, if the fire plan is approved when we can
roll EMS out of the Town budget, move it to the MUD budget. What we're looking for,
the combined two tax rates is what people look at when they move here, if we can
accomplish helping the Town deal with their growth, which until more houses come
online, there's going to be plateau. If we can help by lowering this year, it would be
great, given the fact that we know the following year, we know we can help.
Director Carr stated he understands what Director Sanders is saying; however, we
are two separate entities. The MUD has no control over the Town. The Town needs
to take care of their business and the MUDs need to take care of our business. Carr
believes that if there are common items, we should be able to share for the common
good. The MUDs are not here with a blank check. We understand that the Town
TCMUD No. 1 86 of 93 14 Sept 2010

District No. 1
Meeting Minutes
can't afford to do this, they have expansion. There is a possibility of new police
station, with a $7 million projected cost. MUDs are building a Fire Station for $2.5,
we didn't increase the taxes. We cut where we needed to; we managed our funds;
and we were able to do that. Carr believes the Town needs to be a little more
aggressive on their budgeting.
President Thomas stated that every year the MUDs have always taken the approach
of how much can we reduce the tax debt to our residents and still keep our quality of
service as high as we can keep it. Thomas had the reputation for years on MUD2 of
being called the "nickel man". The MUDs will always try to do that. Thomas believes
in looking at this from a business perspective, and that business perspective will drive
what we do. Director Carr makes a good point in that we will do everything we can to
assist the Town, our business perspective has got to be our driving factor, not the
Town's business perspective. Each entity has made the commitment to run their own
show. Thomas stated that the overall view of trying to help the citizens, we should
always be mindful of that.
Director Sanders stated he took issue with President Thomas' statement regarding
the last election effecting that. Sanders stated that he didn't think the Council ever
tried to tell the MUDs what to do.
Director Moss stated that he received a handout from resident Neil Twomey, which
mentions a number of $0.1875 as a possible tax rate for next year, which is in line
with Director Sanders' comments.
District Manager Scott stated that per TCEQ Rules and Regulations, if we keep
growing like we are in the PID, we will need to move forward on the Ground Storage
Tank. Scott stated that due to the recent hot spell we have turned the current two
ground storage tanks over every day, some times more than that, so we're getting
low on ground storage. TCEQ sets the standards, and they look at how many
gallons we sell, how many times we turn our elevated and ground storage tanks over.
Scott believes we have authorized, unissued bonds to cover the expense of a
Ground Storage Tank. Finance Director DuBose stated we did. The Ground
Storage Tank is a TCEQ requirement, as a result of all the development in the PID
We should know more in March of 2011.
Director Armstrong asked where exactly would this ground storage tank be located?
Is it going on where the Police Station is currently?
District Manager Scott stated that the property that the current police station is on is
the property that was originally appropriated for when the MUD bought this property.
Director Armstrong asked Council Liaison Bill Rose if he heard what was said.
Council Liaison Rose replied, so noted.
District Manager Scott stated that the ground has been compacted for the ground
storage tank, and that is only place that the MUD has to put a ground storage tank in
relation to our pump station.
Vice President Moss stated that we have known this for several years. It's just that
the new members on the Council that maybe were not aware.
District Manager Scott agreed with Moss' statement.
Discussion held with no action taken.
