CITY OF WICHITA FALLS
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Darron J. Leiker, City Manager
DATE: October 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Adopted Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Operating Budget
It is my pleasure to present to you the Adopted Balanced Annual Operating Budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year
which covers the period beginning October 1, 2022 and ending September 30, 2023 (FY 2023). The Adopted
Budget was prepared with a focus on the following goals from the City's adopted Strategic Plan:
• Accelerate Economic Growth
• Provide Quality Infrastructure
• Redevelop Downtown
• Efficiently Deliver City Services (which includes improving employee recruitment and retention)
• Actively Engage and Inform the Public
The Adopted Budget also provides the opportunity for the City Council to lower the City's property tax rate as the
local economy has and continues to experience above average property appreciation and sales tax growth. The
Adopted Budget:
• Continues current service levels despite 40-year high inflation
• Reduces the property tax rate by 6.66 cents(8.75%)from .7609 to .6943
• Increases employee pay by 5%
• Increases the City's contribution to the Firefighter's Pension Fund
• Invests$19.3M of surplus reserves for one-time expenditures
BUDGET PREPARATION PROCESS
The process for developing the budget began this past March when the Finance Department hosted a Budget Kick-
off meeting at the MPEC.The purpose of the meeting was to update City Departments on the budget process and
to convey my expectations. This meeting included information about the economic status of the area, the
challenges and opportunities in the upcoming year's budget,and the direction for the budget process. Department
Directors were encouraged to prepare their funding requests with items needed to fund normal operations and
1
BUDGET MESSAGE
address the strategic goals of the City. I then asked each Department Director for any proposed new programs
(i.e. "above current requests")that could potentially increase efficiency and the quality of services. The Adopted
Budget includes a combination of these requests.
In June, the City's Chief Financial Officer and I presented you and the public with an update on the City's current
financial state and the key factors affecting the upcoming budget preparation. During the presentation, we
highlighted the increased cost of items due to inflation, and we emphasized the importance of keeping
compensation at market competitive levels.That presentation included a discussion of the three major funds: the
General Fund, the Water & Sewer Fund, and the Sanitation Fund. The presentation reviewed available fund
balances, projected fund balances, revenues, and expenditures. The major highlights from the presentation and
discussion were potential uses of federal funding and excess fund balance for some one-time expenditures. Fund
balances at year-end are projected to increase mainly due to higher than expected sales tax revenue and lower
than anticipated personnel costs in FY 2022.
As we worked through the budget process, the overall economic climate changed. While sales tax revenue
increased above prior year levels, signs of a potential slowdown are present.This may affect the City's revenues;
however, we will be closely watching the economy as interest rates rise and inflation continues to hit 40-year
highs. Inflationary pressures have affected the FY 2022 operating budget, especially as it relates to fuel and
chemical costs. We anticipate the impact of inflation to affect the FY 2023 budget as well. Conversely, over the
past four months we have seen continued increases in investment returns due to rising interest rates.
In addition to this annual operating budget that provides for the operation of the City for one fiscal year, staff
prepares a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)that focuses on the capital budgeting needs over the next five(5)years
and identifies potential funding sources to pay for those projects. Capital improvements are tangible equipment
items, one-time projects or large maintenance projects that exceed $25,000 and have a useful life of more than
one year.
The CIP for FY 2023-27 is a separate document from the Annual Operating Budget. When the City Council adopted
the Five-Year CIP, only the projects outlined in FY 2023 have committed funding sources, and the projects listed
in the later years of the document are identified for planning purposes only.

TOTAL REVENUE BUDGET
Revenues collected by the City may be broken down into the following categories:Operating Revenues which are
recurring revenues the City may receive annually; Consolidated Revenues which include the transfer of money
between funds and other financing sources and includes the use of one-time available surplus funds.
The adopted operating revenue budget for FY 2023 across all funds is $204,973,228, which is an increase of
$18,251,640 or 9.77% from the FY 2022 Adopted Budget of $186,721,588. This is consistent with the increased
cost to provide municipal services. The Municipal Cost Index through July 2022 indicates a 9.9% year over year
increase;the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, on August 15, 2022, indicated inflation rates of 8.5%.

BUDGET MESSAGE
REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
The adopted budget for the City includes the operating revenue highlights that are listed below. Additional
information related to each category of revenue is provided throughout the budget document.
Property Tax:
Overall, the property tax levy is expected to increase by 3.63%. The FY 2023 property tax base is anticipated to
be 13.58% higher than last year due to a strong housing market. The FY 2023 Adopted Budget reduces the City's
property tax rate by 8.75%from .760928 to .694321.
Sales Tax:
Sales Tax receipts have shown significant growth since the pandemic and are expected to increase 21.11%
compared to the FY 2022 budget and 1.34%from the FY 2022 collections.
Service Charges:
Service charges are expected to increase by 6.71%mostly due to the increase in water rates. The adopted budget
includes a 5%increase to water rates for FY 2023 and the currently adopted fee ordinance includes a 5%increase
in the following year in order to help keep up with the increased cost of chemicals and other supplies due to
inflation, to help maintain market competitive salaries for staff, and to increase fund balance reserves to help
ensure adequate funds for emergency needs that may arise. The examples of increased cost that were shared
during the Pre-Budget Workshop are listed below. The City has held water rates the same for 8 years in a row,
absorbing all of the cost increases for labor, supplies, and construction over this time period.
• Water main replacement cost has more than doubled since 2020, up an average of 111%.
• 2020 Cost=$70.50/LF
• Today's Cost=$148.00/LF
• Sewer line replacement has increased 52%per linear foot since 2020.
• 2020 Cost=$124/LF
• Today's Cost=$188/LF
• Due to the age of city water and sewer lines, additional funding is needed for replacement, repair and
maintenance.
Interest Income:
Interest income is earned from reserves that are invested with local government investment pools and fixed
income securities. In recent years, low interest rates meant that interest earnings were below .25%. Recent
actions by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to help curb inflation have changed the outlook for the
markets and the estimated earnings for FY 2023 are 2.6%. This generates a $2,238,447 or 839.94% increase in
this category.

TOTAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET
The adopted budget for expenditures across all funds is $233,816,962, which is an increase of $38,367,087 or
19.63%from the FY 2022 Adopted Budget of$195,449,875. However,the Operating expenditures, which exclude
transfers out and capital improvements, are projected to be$186,341,504, which is$16,232,696 or 9.54%higher
than the FY 2022 operating expenditures which is the best comparison to last year's operating budget.
The increase in expenditures is driven by the increased cost of goods and services due to inflation, increased
capital expenditures for critical infrastructure,and the increased cost of labor to help maintain market competitive
compensation.

BUDGET MESSAGE
EXPENDITURE HIGHLIGHTS
The Adopted Budget for the City includes the following expenditure highlights. Additional information related to
each category of expenditures is provided throughout the budget document.
Personnel Services:
The City's most valuable asset is our employees. This adopted budget includes an across the board cost of living
adjustment (COLA) of 5%for all eligible employees. These pay recommendations tie directly to the Strategic Plan
goal of "Improving Employee Recruitment and Retention" and maintaining a trained, committed, and valued
workforce. We are struggling at every level of this organization to recruit and fill available positions, to the point
where it is difficult to continue the same service levels. The pay adjustment should help improve this, and most
importantly, will keep us from sliding even further behind.
Capital:
The adopted budget includes capital expenditures to assist in replacing critical infrastructure in our City. Increased
capital spending includes funds for the Quail Creek and Rhea Road projects in the Stormwater Fund, replacement
of facilities and equipment at the Landfill and the Transfer Station in the Sanitation Fund, and replacement of the
portable voice radios for Public Safety in the Information Technology Fund.
Impact of Inflation:
The rising cost of goods and services through inflation is a key issue that the adopted budget is facing. The
Municipal Cost Index(MCI) is a measure of inflation based on factor's influencing costs of goods and services from
Municipalities. The year over year increase in the costs for municipalities has increased by 9.9%. The US Bureau
of Labor Statistics, on August 15, 2022, released inflation data showing an increase of 8.5%.

Franchise Fees: The City receives payments from ONCOR Electric, ATMOS Gas, Spectrum, and various
telecommunication providers for the use of the City's right-of-way for their distribution lines. Generally, the City
applies a three-year average of payments from ONCOR and ATMOS to arrive at the revenue projection for those
franchises. The budgeted amount for Spectrum is based on current year estimates, and the amount from
telecommunication providers is based on the most recent number of access lines in the City's right-of-way. This
adopted budget slightly increases expected revenues from the prior year and utilizes the previously mentioned
three-year average.These revenues will increase $288,257 or 5.57%.

BUDGET MESSAGE
Payment-In-Lieu of Taxes: The City receives Payments-In-Lieu of Property Tax from a few industries that are
located outside the city limits as part of non-annexation agreements. These agreements guarantee that the City
will provide fire protection and will not annex the industry into the city limits. In exchange,the industry provides
a payment to the City that is based on a percentage of what they would have paid in property taxes had they been
located inside the city limits.This revenue is projected to decrease $74,913 or-4.61%.
Other Tax Revenue: Other taxes collected by the City include penalties and interest and mixed beverage sales. In
total, Other Tax Revenue will increase$34,477 or 4.33%.
Interest Income: The City receives interest earnings from idle funds that are invested with local government
investment pools and fixed income securities. In recent years, low interest rates meant that interest earnings
were below .25%. Recent actions by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to help curb inflation have
changed the outlook for the markets and the estimated earnings for FY 2023 are 2.6%. The Adopted Budget
for interest income in the General Fund is$1,654,947 which is a$1,606,447 increase from the FY 2022 adopted
budget.
GENERAL FUND CONSOLIDATED REVENUES
The adopted budget's consolidated revenues total $103,351,602 which is $15,380,360 or 17.48% more than the
prior year's adopted budget.The budget includes the use of$8,690,000 in surplus funds for one-time expenditures
in accordance with policy and charter. Fund balance in the General Fund represents the net resources available
for funding operations. The City strives to maintain the fund balance of the General Fund at levels sufficient to
protect the City's creditworthiness and its financial position in the event of an emergency. In September 2012,the
City adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund,Water/Sewer Fund, and the Sanitation Fund.The policy's
goal is for the City to maintain at least 20%of expenditures in unassigned fund balance in the General Fund.

Each year, the Sanitation Fund transfers approximately $800,000 into the General Fund. The transfer is used
to expand the street maintenance program due to the wear and tear that sanitation trucks put on City streets.
Due to the capital needs in the Sanitation fund in FY 2023, the transfer has been suspended and will resume
in FY 2024. Total funding for street repairs increased in the Adopted Budget
Other Financing Sources: This account shows transfers in from fund balance. Due to better than anticipated
sales tax revenue, federal ARPA funds available for police overtime, and lower costs due to personnel
vacancies, there is $8,690,000 in funds available for one-time expenditures as described above.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE HIGHLIGHTS
Personnel Services:
Personnel services include expenses for employee salaries and benefits, which provide for the services of the
following General Fund departments:
• Administrative Support: City Manager's Office, Human Resources Department, City Attorney,
Public Information Office, and City Clerk
• Police and Fire
• Streets, Engineering, and Traffic
• Finance, Accounting, Purchasing, and Municipal Court
• Parks and Recreation
• Planning, Inspections, and Property Management
• Building Maintenance
• Animal Services, Nursing, and Environmental Health
The largest expenditure in the General Fund is the cost of the personnel necessary to provide these services to
the community. The FY 2023 General Fund budget dedicates $68,882,329 or over 66% of total spending to
personnel related expenses.This is an increase of$3,118,056 or 4.74%mainly due to pay increases for staff.
Retirement Programs: The Fire Department receives pension benefits from the Fireman's Pension Plan, an
independent plant. All other City employees earn retirement benefits from the Texas Municipal Retirement
System (TMRS). The current TMRS contribution rate is 16.18%. This budget increases the fire pension rate to the
same rate as TMRS (from 13.25%to 16.18%). The cost of this increase for the FY 2023 budget is $417,174.
Pay Programs: The organization's most valuable asset is our employees.The adopted budget includes an across
the board cost of living adjustment of 5%. This pay recommendation ties directly to the Strategic Plan goal of
"Improving Employee Recruitment and Retention" and maintaining a trained, committed, and valued workforce.
The adopted budget for these increases in the General Fund is$2,220,366.The table below shows changes to the
Pay Plan over time.

Longevity/Stability Pay Programs:The longevity and stability pay programs provide an additional benefit to long-
term staff. The longevity program is for civil service staff, and increases for each year of service to the City with a
'top out' at$3,564/year after 15 years of service.This pay is prorated throughout the year and paid to employees
through the payroll system. Stability pay is a program for all non-civil service staff. After two years of qualifying
service,each employee receives$138 per year to a maximum of$1,210 per year after five years of service.Stability
pay is paid annually in December. These long-standing programs remain unchanged for the FY 2023 adopted
budget.
Employee & Retiree Healthcare: The General Fund includes an additional $346,586 or 3%, to maintain our
Employee/Retiree Health Care Program. Health care costs continue to rise at a fairly rapid pace, and this increase
is needed to maintain the same level of health care benefits.
Currently, employee/retiree premiums make up about 30%of the cost for health claims and the city contributions
fund the remaining 70%for employees. In total,the General Fund budget dedicates$7,590,666 to this program.
The Employee Benefit Trust Committee is responsible for managing this program.
Supplies: Supplies in the General Fund total $2,297,215, an increase of$283,012, or 14.05%,from the prior year.
This increase is reflective of increased costs such as lumber, steel, and chemicals due to inflation.
Maintenance:The FY 2023 adopted budget includes a decrease of$264,353 or 13.58%due to the completion of
projects at Memorial Auditorium.
Utilities/Other Services:General Fund services have increased by$2,112,858 or 26.33%from the FY 2022 budget.
This increase is primarily due to an increase in the cost of Central Garage Services of$1,219,940 or 25.9%due to
higher costs of fuel, maintenance, and repair. This category also includes one-time costs from the use of excess
funds for a Public Safety Facilities Needs Assessment for$200,000 and a Parks Master Plan for$200,000.
Debt: This category represents lease payments for street lights and traffic signal communication equipment and
has increased due to the timing of this year's payments. No changes to the agreements occurred.
Transfers Out: The General Fund transfers out support to other funds for one-time expenditures and operating
subsidies when needed.The adopted budget includes$3,915,000 for transfers from excess general funds for one-
time expenditures listed on page 6 of this letter.The adopted budget for FY 2023 increases the MPEC subsidy from
$400,000 to $500,000. As is the case in the current fiscal year (FY 2022), the Regional Airport and Transit Funds
will not need subsidy due to available federal funding.

Based on total expenditures, General Fund Unreserved Balance would need to be $20,670,320, which is 20% of
$103,351,602 in expenditures. Excluding one-time expenditures, General Fund Unreserved Balance would need
to be$18,932,320, which is 20%of$94,661,602. Total unrestricted fund balance is estimated to be$20.9M.

WATER&SEWER SYSTEM FUND
After maintaining the same water rates since 2014, the adopted FY 2023 budget includes a 5% increase in retail
rates and the currently adopted fee ordinance includes a 5% increase in the following year as well. These retail
rate increases will provide for additional water and sewer line replacements, address the impact of inflation, and
maintain market competitive salaries. Due to inflation,the cost of replacing water and sewer lines is up over 111%
and 52%respectively, and the cost of chemicals has increased approximately 150%.
WATER AND SEWER FUND REVENUES
Revenues for the Water and Sewer Fund come primarily from Water and Sewer Sales. The chart below outlines
these revenues.

Water Sales: Water Sales make up the majority of the revenue in the Water& Sewer Fund at about 75%of total
revenue. This accounts for both the residential and commercial sale of water by the City. The adopted budget
anticipates a $1,450,993 or 4.13% increase in Water Sales.This increase is due to the increase in retail rates and
is offset by estimated usage levels.
Sewer Sales:The Adopted Budget anticipates sewer sales to increase by$416,948 or 3.96%. This increase is due
to the increase in retail rates and offset by estimated usage levels.
Other Financing Sources: Fund balance reserves of$1,400,000 are used for one-time capital expenditures.
All Other Revenue: All other revenue has increased by $172,206 or 12.19%. This increase is primarily due to

use of$1,929,287 of one-time funds for a new entrance scale at the Landfill and a new compactor. Revenue was
also impacted by increased use of the Landfill of $300,000 and an increase in interest income of $200,000. The
adopted budget maintains the current retail rates.

BUDGET MESSAGE
Sanitation Expenditure Highlights:
Personnel Services: Personnel Services account for over a quarter of all expenditures in the Sanitation Fund.This
adopted budget increases Personnel Services by $184,791 or 3.81% primarily due to a 5% overall increase for
COLA increases for staff to help maintain market competitive compensation.
Supplies: Supplies in the Sanitation Fund total $392,994, an increase of$37,558, or 10.57%, from the prior year.
This increase is reflective of cost increases in the economy due to inflation.
Maintenance & Repair: These costs are $364,750 or 202.03% higher than the FY 2022 budget due to costs for
building maintenance and repairs to the transfer station budgeted in FY 2023.
Utilities/Other Services: The cost of utilities is projected to increase in FY 2023 by $701,883, or 15.10%, mostly
due to increased fuel and utility costs.
Capital Improvements: This category is used to purchase major equipment and vehicles that keep the Sanitation
Collection service, Landfill, and Transfer Station running smoothly and efficiently. Planned capital expenditures
include replacement of three (3) Curbside Automated Sideload trucks, one (1) Alley Sideload truck, and one (1)
Commercial Frontend Loader. Plans also include a new entrance scale for the Landfill and a new compactor which
are funded from available excess funds.The increase of$2,177,280 or 76.99%is due to increased equipment costs,
installation of a new scale and compactor at the Landfill.
Transfers Out:This account is for operating transfers to other City funds.These transfers are used to pay the funds
franchise fees and to support annual street maintenance due to the load these trucks put on the City's roads. In
the current year, the $800,000 transfer for street maintenance is excluded to increase funds needed for capital
which explains the 43.33% reduction in this category.
OTHER FUND HIGHLIGHTS
Fleet Maintenance: The Fleet Maintenance Fund is an Internal Service Fund and is responsible for the
maintenance and replacement of the City's fleet of vehicles and equipment.The budget for the Fleet Maintenance
Fund is $13,160,705, an increase of $2,641,783 or 25.11% from the FY 2022 budget and is primarily due to
increased fuel costs which increased by$2,141,832 or 94%from the prior year's budget.

grants. For FY 2023,this fund does not require a subsidy from the General Fund.The City's Regional Airport Fund
adopted FY 2023 budget is $1,914,554 which is $299,265 or 13.52% lower than the FY 2022 Budget because the
FY 2022 Budget included a debt service payment that will be made with FAA ARPA funds.
Kickapoo Airport:The Kickapoo Airport Fund is an Enterprise Fund,which is self-supported by user fees.The City's
Kickapoo Airport Fund adopted budget for FY 2023 is $1,156,098, which is a $145,985, or 14.45%, increase from
the prior year budget, mostly due to higher fuel costs. For FY 2023,this fund does not require a subsidy from the
General Fund.
Transit: The Transit Fund is an Enterprise Fund that is primarily funded through Federal and State Grants and
provides for the operation of the City's public transit system.A small subsidy from the General Fund is sometimes
used to cover any remaining expenditures. Due to legislation passed in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, City
Transit Operations will be subsidized via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Funds
through the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA). The Transit Fund budget is $4,805,630, which is a
22
BUDGET MESSAGE
$1,415,181 or 41.74% increase from the previous year due to increased grant funding. Transit Operations and
Preventative Maintenance now operate out of the new Transit Center on Old Windthorst Road. This fund does
not require an operating subsidy.
Hotel/Motel Fund: The Hotel/Motel Fund contains two divisions: (1)the Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB),
and (2)the Multi-Purpose Events Center(MPEC). In October of 2021,the City resumed management of the MPEC
facilities after the five-year agreement with a third-party management company expired. During that time, the
City has made tremendous improvements to the facilities and will have held over 260 events through the end of
FY 2022. The fund's total operating expenditures increased by $1,002,114. This increase is due to the COLA
increases for personnel, an increase in cost of goods and supplies, and an anticipated increase in the cost of
utilities. The adopted budget increases the operating transfer from the General Fund from$400,000 to$500,000.
The budget also includes a recommended one-time transfer from the General Fund's surplus fund balance of
$2,689,000. The funds will be used for capital improvements to update and renovate Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall and
to update the catering/concession areas. The funds would also be used to establish a Co-Promotional Show fund.
Venue Tax Fund:This budget includes an allocation of$600,000 in the voter approved Venue Tax Fund.This fund,
established in 2020, collects the City's 2%Venue Tax. This allocation will be used for updates and projects at the
MPEC as well as debt service on the venue tax bond.
Information Technology:The Information Technology Fund is an Internal Service Fund and is responsible for the
maintenance and replacement of the City's computers and ancillary devices, network infrastructure, and
communications equipment. The budget for the Information Technology Fund is $5,531,075, which includes
internal service charges of$4,114,825 and is an increase of$2,182,645, or 65.18%,from the FY 2022 budget.This
fund's total budget increased due to the use of prior year reserves for capital improvements including the
replacement of the portable radios for Public Safety and the costs to implement and operate the communications
system that support the radios. The Information Technology Fund is now paying two thirds of the MDT Radio
Maintenance previously charged to the 4B Sales Tax Corporation.
Water Park:The Water Park Fund is an Enterprise Fund, and contains the budget for Castaway Cove Water Park.
The total budget for the Water Park is$2,269,653,which is an increase from last year due to increased ticket sales
and a $575,000 transfer in from excess general funds. When combined with income from water park operations,
the excess general fund revenue transfer will help fund the addition of a new attraction.
Golf Course: The Golf Course budget is devised to align with the City's management services agreement with
A.P.G.L. Under the terms of that agreement, the City is responsible for reimbursing A.P.G.L. for golf course
expenses, plus$120,000 for complete management oversight of the course. In exchange,the city receives nearly
all of the revenue at the course.The Golf Course estimates revenues and expenditures for FY 2023 at$1,416,867.
This includes $900,000 in revenue from use fees, $311,000 as a transfer in from excess general funds, and
$205,867 from the Golf Course prior year reserves. The funds will be used for course operations and capital
improvements for the gazebo and the addition of range lighting.
Stormwater: The Stormwater Fund has a total budget of $9,537,472, which is an increase of $4,359,047, or
84.18%. This increase is largely due to the use of reserve funds to continue with Phase 2 of the Quail Creek
Drainage Project.

BUDGET MESSAGE
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City of Wichita Falls is in a strong financial condition. Although sales tax revenue has been showing strong
growth, it remains a volatile revenue source, and generally tracks the overall economy. Record high inflation has
led to rising interest rates. This in turn could lead to a recession at some point over the next 12-24 months. If this
occurs, history has shown that our sales tax revenue will decline. That said,we are in a good position to deal with
a light, short-lived recession without severely impacting service delivery. Property tax revenue is healthy, but
limited by the Texas Property Tax Reform Bill from 2019, which only allows for a modest increase from the
previous year's collection.
CONCLUSION
The FY 2023 Adopted Budget provides a clear and viable working plan for the upcoming year that advances the
Strategic Plan, maintains critical services, and enhances the overall quality of life for our residents and visitors. A
concerted effort was made to continue improvements to employee compensation and infrastructure.The City will
remain vigilant in meeting the needs of the community as inflation continues. Lastly, I would like to thank the staff
whose efforts went into the creation of this budget. I also want to thank all City employees who have worked hard
to provide quality services to our citizens and are committed to the success of our great City.
The City staff looks forward to working with the Mayor and City Council as we address the challenges of the coming
year.
Respectfully submitted,

HISTORY
The Choctaw Native Americans settled the area in the early 19th century
from their native Mississippi area after negotiation of the Treaty of Dancing
Rabbit Creek. American settlers arrived in the 1860s to form cattle ranches.
On September 27th, 1876, a sale of town lots was held at the corner of
Seventh and Ohio streets - the birthplace of the City. That same day, the City
was officially titled Wichita Falls.
The formative years of the City were economically driven by farming and
ranching. The arrival of the Fort Worth & Denver railroad transformed
Wichita Falls from a loose collection of cottages to a thriving market center.
The railroad enabled ranchers to ship their cattle to Fort Worth and farmers
to market their products to national outlets. By 1910, City business leaders
Frank Kell and Joseph Kemp organized and built three railroad lines that
linked Wichita Falls to markets throughout the country.
Government Structure
The City of Wichita Falls operates under a Council-Manager form of
Government. This system combines the strong political leadership of
elected officials, in the form of a City Council, with the strong
managerial experience of an appointed City Manager. The Council-
Manager form of government establishes a representative system
where all power is concentrated in the elected Council which hires a
professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public
services. The City of Wichita Falls has a Mayor and six-member
Council who are elected into 3 year terms in non-partisan elections.

BUDGET SUMMARY
ALL FUNDS
Revenue and Expenditure Discussion Prior Two Years to Current Year:
Fiscal Year 2021:
The City conservatively set revenue expectations and adjusted costs to address the Pandemic in FY 2020. The FY
2020 budget included reductions in all revenue sources. In total, the City's budget included reductions of 4.97%
in revenues and expenditures. The City maintained its hiring freeze and asked all Directors to consider cutting
their budget to address the Pandemic, while ensuring that there was no decrease in City services.
As the year progressed,the City saw stable revenues; however,the economic effects of the Pandemic are ongoing
and could further affect the City in coming years.The City received additional federal funds,including an allotment
from the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March of 2021. The funds from this allotment will be used to help
offset the cost of Fire Fighter and Patrol Officers salaries during the coming year, as the response to the Pandemic
continues. The City Manager and Council will consider additional uses for these funds and will adopt any further
action when that action is determined.
For many years, the City has struggled with little growth and increasing costs of goods and services. While other
metropolitan areas around the state have seen record growth,Wichita Falls population has remained stable.This
lack of growth has delayed the City's efforts to address employee pay, as the increasing cost of providing services
has resulted in lower employee pay. In FY 2021,the City completed a study to review the City's pay plans.
The City contracted with Management Advisory Group International, Inc. (MAG) to conduct a comprehensive
compensation study and assessment of jobs for all current City of Wichita Falls job classifications. The adopted
budget reflects the recommendations of that report. MAG's findings and recommendations are based on:
• salary survey results;
• current organizational structure;
• discussions with human resources and management, and review of current compensation practices;
• job analysis based on current class/job descriptions; and
• internal equity and external competitiveness considerations.
The goal of the City for this project was to provide the foundation for an appropriate classification and
compensation system and pay plan based on current compensation levels for similar public sector employers,
municipalities, and local market competitors. In response, MAG developed an adopted pay plan and salary
adjustment recommendations for current positions included in the City of Wichita Falls job classifications.
Fiscal Year 2022:
The City implemented the following pay plan recommendations in FY 2022:
• A flat salary increase of 2%for all employees.
• An increase to the minimum pay, per job, for employees who, with the 2% increase, were still below the
minimum pay for the grade of work they were completing.
• Adjustments to steps for police officers and fire fighters whose pay,with the above increases, still did not
reach the grade and step for their currently held positions.
• Implementation of the merit based pay increase program at 2.5%for all employees.
These pay recommendations tie directly to the Strategic Plan goal of "Improving Employee Recruitment and
Retention"and maintaining a trained, committed, and valued workforce. In total,the implementation of the plan
increased payroll costs by approximately$4.4 million citywide.

The FY 2022 budget moved the operations of the MPEC from Spectra Management back to City Management and
provides for a total of fifteen (15) new FTE's in the Hotel/Motel Fund. The budget also provided for six new
positions in the Water& Sewer Fund.
The FY 2022 budget committed funds for future capital improvement and equipment needs. Together with the
one-time funds, these commitments decreased unencumbered fund balance by $5,300,300 while the City
maintained its fund balances to policy.
Fiscal Year 2023—Current Year's Budget:
36
BUDGET SUMMARY
ALL FUNDS
Overall, property tax levies are expected to increase by 3.63%. The FY 2023 property tax base is anticipated to be
13.58%higher than last year due to a strong area economy in recent years. The budget reduces the City's property
tax rate from .760928 to .694321, or by 8.75%.
Sales Tax receipts have shown significant growth since the pandemic and are expected to increase 21.11%
compared to the previous year's budget and 1.34%from the FY 2022 collections.
Service charges are expected to increase by 6.71%mostly due to the increase in water rates. The adopted budget
includes a 5%increase to water rates for FY 2023 and the currently adopted fee ordinance includes a 5%increase
in the following year in order to help keep up with the increased cost of chemicals and other supplies due to
inflation, to help maintain market competitive salaries for staff, and to increase fund balance reserves to help
ensure adequate funds for emergency needs that may arise. The examples of increased cost, shared during the
Pre-Budget Workshop are listed below.The City has held water rates the same for 8 years in a row, absorbing all
of the cost increases for labor, supplies, and construction over this time period.
• Water main replacement cost has more than doubled since 2020, up an average of 111%.
• 2020 Cost=$70.50/LF
• Today's Cost=$148.00/LF
• Sewer line replacement has increased 52%per linear foot since 2020.
• 2020 Cost=$124/LF
• Today's Cost=$188/LF
• Due to the age of city water and sewer lines, additional funding is needed for replacement, repair and
maintenance.
The rising cost of goods and services through inflation is a key issue that the adopted budget is facing. The
Municipal Cost Index(MCI) is a measure of inflation based on factor's influencing costs of goods and services from
Municipalities. The year over year increase in the costs for municipalities has increased by 9.9%. The US Bureau
of Labor Statistics, on August 15, 2022, released inflation data showing an increase of 8.5%.

Interest income is earned from reserves that are invested with local government investment pools and fixed
income securities. In recent years, low interest rates meant that interest earnings were below .25%. Recent
actions by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to help curb inflation have changed the outlook for the
markets and the estimated earnings for FY 2023 are 2.6%. This generates a $2,238,447 or 839.94% increase in
this category.

BUDGET SUMMARY
ALL FUNDS
This budget includes across the board cost of living adjustment of 5.0%. This change will provide a 5.0% pay
increase for all eligible employees. These pay recommendations tie directly to the Strategic Plan goal of
"Improving Employee Recruitment and Retention" and maintaining a trained, committed, and valued workforce.

FY 2023 Proposed Budget to FY 2023 Adopted Budget:
The City's Proposed Budget was presented to the City Council on July 26, 2022. On August 16, 2022, the City
Council met to conduct their Budget Workshop.This was the second City Council meeting directed at the FY 2023
budget.The first was held on June 7, 2022.
At this workshop to discuss the Proposed Budget on August 16, 2022, the City Council considered the Proposed
Budget. Of note in this fiscal year, was a proposal to increase retail water and sewer rates to combat ongoing
struggles with inflation, rising costs, and staffing shortages.The Proposed Budget included a recommendation to
increase retail water and sewer rates by 9%. This was the first proposed rate increase to retail water rates in 8
years. The last change to retail sewer rates occurred in 2012. The City Council determined that, rather than
increase retail rates 9%,they would increase retail water rates over two years, by 5% per year. For this change to
occur, and for the Water and Sewer Fund to meet needs impacted by inflation, the decision was made to fund
$1.4M in ongoing maintenance using available fund balance in the current year in the Water and Sewer Fund.This
was the only change from the Proposed to the Adopted Budget.

Budget&Financial Forecasting:
The Finance Department updates long-term cash forecasts monthly and uses a format and schedule
recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). These
forecasts are used to determine available resources and to plan for long-term needs. In addition, the Finance
Department works with sales tax experts and Financial Advisors to ensure long-term stability.These forecasts use
historical and current data to project long-term inflows and outflows. Forecasting is a living process that changes
monthly as changes occur in the economy and the City. Maintenance of these forecasts is important and is a
priority for the Finance Department.The forecasts listed here are snap shots in time,and will change as conditions
change. Cash forecasts are scrutinized in 36-month formats, while budget forecasts extend for a 10-year period.
Cash is updated and reviewed monthly, while the budget is updated and reviewed annually or on an ad hoc basis
if a change to the budget is requested.The City has received recognition from Standard and Poor's for the intracity
of the City's forecasting models.
Ten Year General Fund Forecast Model with Historic Totals:
Revenues and Expenditures are forecasted based on current economic conditions, proposed changes to economic
conditions and averages for stable sources/uses. In each Fund Summary,throughout this document, discussion of
revenues and expenditures are included.
The City's budget forecasts are revised throughout the budget process and are recalculated anytime a change to
the budget is requested. The City is conservative in the forecasting of budgeted revenues and expenditures.
Priority is focused on the maintenance of reserve funds, and decisions and changes that will be self-supporting in
future years. All funds meet their fund balance policies in the current year and have stable forward forecasts.
Forecasting for ten years allows the City to see the impact of decisions and changes to the budget and to maintain
reserves for times of emergency, large legal settlements, and disasters. The process of forecasting includes
consultation with experts, review of all available financial information, and the determination of many long-term
needs. Additionally, the City forecasts reserves needed for meeting Strategic Plan goals, funding infrastructure
and any upcoming capital needs.
Revenues and Expenditures are forecasted for all funds, an example of this process is listed below for the General
Fund.

Long-term Capital Forecasts&Fund Balance Sufficiency:
The City projects both long term capital needs and the funding sources that may be available to address these
needs. This work includes review and establishment of rates needed and the compilation of the Capital
Improvement Plan, which is included in summary format in this document. In FY 2022, the City engaged with
Raftelis Consulting Firm to create and update a model related to retail water and sewer rates and long-term needs.
This engagement, resulted in the creation of a model for long-term costs, revenue sufficiency,fund balance needs,
debt needs, and a cost of service study.

CITY OF WICHITA FALLS STRATEGIC PLAN
The following section describes the City of Wichita Falls' Strategic Plan, including each goal, policy, the actions
required,and the City department responsible for implementation. Furthermore,the City Council prioritized these
goals into an order they would prefer to see them implemented.
In March 2021, the City Council and City staff conducted a 2-day strategic planning workshop at the MPEC to
ensure the best possible decisions for Wichita Falls are made over the next few years. The Azimuth Group, Inc.
was contracted to facilitate and document the results of this collective planning and priority-setting effort. The
Strategic Plan is an example of the operation of the"Council-Manager"form of government in that the City Council
adopts the Strategic Plan and its policies, and the City Manager is responsible for implementation.
The City Council ratified the plan and its goals on May 18, 2021, and a summary of the five (5) general goals and
thirty-three (33) policies and objectives.The plan describes the three highest priority items (those items with the
greatest opportunity for continued improvement) as (1) Accelerate Economic Growth, (2) Provide Quality
Infrastructure, and (3) Redevelop Downtown. A copy of the plan may be found on the City's website.
The Strategic Plan is implemented through the budget process.Annually, each Department Director sets goals for
the Department and each employee that further the implementation of the plan. Goals for each Department are
listed on the Department Summaries pages, included in this document. This process of goal setting generates a
final report called the Annual Report.The Report is shared with the City Council and goal progression will soon be
shown on the City's website.

POLICY STATEMENTS
BUDGET POLICIES
The 2022-23 Proposed Budget for the City of Wichita Falls is submitted in accordance with the city charter and all
applicable state laws. The operating budget is segregated based on fund in alignment with generally accepted
accounting principles, and outlines the anticipated revenues and planned expenditures for the City in the ensuing
fiscal year. The budget is structurally balanced in all funds when the funds' total resources of beginning fund
balance, revenues, and other financing sources (also classified as transfers in), are equal to the total of
expenditures,other financing uses(also classified as transfers out),and ending fund balance;recognizing recurring
and non-recurring revenues and potential increases in fund balance in contingency accounts.
The City provides quarterly "budget to actual"financial statements and investment reports to the City Council in
compliance with State Law.
ITEMIZED BUDGET AND CONTENTS
The City of Wichita Falls complies with the Texas Local Government Code (LGC), all applicable state laws, best
practices, and budget requirements.
LGC requires any incorporated City in the state of Texas to develop an annual budget.
LGC 102.003 specifies:
a. The budget officer shall itemize the budget to allow as clear a comparison as practicable between
expenditures included in the proposed budget and actual expenditures for the same or similar purposes
made for the preceding year. The budget must show as definitely as possible each of the projects for
which expenditures are set up in the budget and the estimated amount of money carried in the budget
for each project.
b. The budget must contain a complete financial statement of the municipality that shows:
a. the outstanding obligations of the municipality;
b. the cash on hand to the credit of each fund;
c. the funds received from all sources during the preceding year;
d. the funds available from all sources during the ensuing year; and
e. the estimated revenue available to cover the proposed budget.
PROPOSED BUDGET
The City of Wichita Falls prepares and presents a Proposed Budget each year, which is filed with the City Clerk at
least 30 days prior to the adoption of the City's tax levy for the year in compliance with LGC(LGC§102.005(a)).
INFORMATION FURNISHED
In preparing the budget, the budget officer (City Manager) may require any City officer or board to furnish the
information necessary to properly prepare the budget (LGC, §102.004).
PUBLIC HEARINGS ON PROPOSED BUDGET
The City holds public hearings, and provides public meeting times, in advance of the adoption of the proposed
budget, and in accordance with the LGC §102.006 and other applicable rules, regulations, or laws.
49
POLICY STATEMENTS
The City of Wichita Falls publishes notices in the local newspaper and on the City of Wichita Falls' website, as
required by law, prior to a public hearing on the proposed budget (LGC, §102.0065).
ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET
In accordance with the Local Government Code and in compliance with the City's Charter,the City of Wichita Falls
City Council will take action on the proposed budget at the completion of the public hearing. The Council may
make any changes to the budget it considers warranted by law or deemed to be in the best interest of the
taxpayers (LGC, §102.007).
The City of Wichita Falls will conduct a public hearing and adopt the annual budget in accordance with state law.
FILING THE BUDGET
After adoption by the City Council, the approved budget is filed with the City Clerk and the County Clerk (LGC,

The City may levy taxes in accordance with the budget, (LGC, §102.009). However, the adoption of the tax rate
must be separate from the vote adopting the budget (Property Tax Code, (PTC), § 26.05b). The tax rate consists
of two components, the amount of taxes to pay maintenance and operation expenditures, and the amount
needed to fund interest and sinking obligations (debt service) (PTC, §26.05a).
CHANGES IN BUDGET
The City of Wichita Falls makes all expenditures in accordance with the annual budget. The legal level of control
(the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is the fund/class level. After
adoption of the budget, the City Council may make changes to the budget for municipal purposes in compliance
with the Local Government Code (LGC, §102.010).
Texas law provides for two types of changes in expenditure budgets: amendments and transfers.
Amendments:The City Council may amend the budget by ordinance. Ordinances must follow public process and
be filed with the City Clerk. The City Clerk will attach the amendment to the original budget. Amendments may
not increase total appropriations except in two instances, projects that are ongoing, and an emergency as defined
by City Charter and LGC(City of Wichita Falls, Charter, §72) (LGC, §102.009).
Transfers: The City Manager is authorized to make transfers between items appropriated to the same office,
department, or fund (class level), where not in contravention of the Constitution and laws of this State or of the
City Charter.

POLICY STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING & BUDGETING PRACTICES
The accounting and reporting policies of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas (City) conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to state and local governments. GAAP for
local governments includes those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB),
which includes all statements and interpretations of the National Council on Governmental Accounting (NCGA)
unless modified by the GASB, and those principles prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants in the publication entitled Audits of State and Local Governmental Units. The following is a summary
of the more significant policies and practices used by the City. These policies and practices apply to the way in
which the City accounts for each category listed. For more information,a copy of the City's Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report may be found on the City's website at www.wichitafallstx.gov.
The City's primary financial direction begins with the City's Charter,which is then used as the basis for all financial
policies the City implements. The City maintains financial policies for general operations, which include policies
for financial management and fund balances, budget compliance, debt issuance and management, accounts
payable, water service, and purchasing among others. A copy of the City's Charter may be found online at
www.wichitafal Istx.gov.
A. Revenue Policies.
Projected revenues are estimated using a realistic, objective, and analytical approach based upon economic
trends. Consultation with experts in sales tax and financial management will be utilized as needed.
Enterprise funds establish user charges sufficient to finance the costs of providing goods/services to the
public. Utilities are reviewed annually and adjusted based on debt service ratio coverages and increases in
actual cost if needed. A third party is used for analysis of the City's Wholesale Water Rates.
B. Fund Balance Policies.
The City strives to maintain the fund balances of the various operating funds at levels sufficient to protect the
City's creditworthiness and its financial position in the event of an emergency. In September 2012, the City
adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund,Water/Sewer Fund,and the Sanitation Fund.The policy's
goal is for the City to maintain at least 20%of expenditures in unassigned fund balance in the General Fund,
17% of expenditures (less debt service expenses) in the Water/Sewer Fund, and 15% of expenditures in the
Sanitation Fund. If funds fall below these percentages, plans are to be put into place to replenish the fund
balance. In June 2022, the City Council was presented with the option to amend the fund balance policy for
the Water/Sewer Fund and the Sanitation Fund. If adopted, the percentage held in unassigned fund balance
for both funds would rise to 20%of expenditures for both funds.
Fund balances of the governmental funds are classified as follows:
• Non-spendable Fund Balance—represents amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not
in spendable form (such as inventory or prepaid insurance) or legally required to remain intact (such
as notes receivable or principal of a permanent fund).
• Restricted Fund Balance—represents amounts that are constrained by external parties,constitutional
provisions, or enabling legislation.
• Committed Fund Balance — represents amounts that can only be used for a specific purpose by the
adoption of an ordinance by the City Council. Committed amounts cannot be used for any other
53
POLICY STATEMENTS
purpose unless the governing board removes those constraints through the adoption of another
ordinance. Committed fund balance amounts differ from restricted balances in that the constraints
on their use do not come from outside parties, constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation, but
rather from inside the City.
• Assigned Fund Balance—represents amounts which the City intends to use for a specific purpose, but
that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed.The City Council by resolution
has authorized the Chief Financial Officer to assign fund balance. Specific amounts that are not
restricted or committed in a special revenue, capital projects, debt service, or permanent fund are
assigned for purposes in accordance with the nature of their fund type or the fund's primary purpose.
Assignments within the General Fund convey that the intended use of those amounts is for a specific
purpose that is narrower than the general purposes of the City itself. Unlike commitments,
assignments only exist temporarily. Therefore, additional action does not normally have to be taken
for the removal of an assignment.
• Unassigned/Unrestricted Fund Balance— represents amounts, which are unconstrained in that they
may be spent for any purpose. Only the General Fund reports a positive unassigned fund balance.
Other governmental funds might report a negative balance in this classification because of
overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or assigned.
When an expenditure is incurred for a purpose for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balance is available,the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first.When an expenditure
is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City
considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally
unassigned funds.

POLICY STATEMENTS
D. Reporting Entity.
The City is a municipal corporation governed by an elected Mayor and six-member City Council.
E. Internal Controls.
City Management is responsible for the development, maintenance, and compliance with internal controls.
Internal controls are developed to protect assets of the City, reduce risk, and protect City funds from loss,
theft, or misuse. City Management is also responsible for ensuring that adequate accounting data is compiled
to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived.The valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
F. Federal and State Grants.
The City applies for and manages grant activity with the permission of the City Council. Grant funds are used
for only the specific purpose for which they were earned and, when necessary, are matched with local funds
in accordance with Federal,State,and Grantor Guidance. Federal grants include the Community Development
Block Grant, Section 8 Housing Assistance, Home Investment Partnership Agreement Program, and numerous
health-related grants, among others.
G. Transactions Between Funds.
Outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other City funds." Any residual balances
between governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide
statements as "internal balances." Nonrecurring or non-routine transfers of equity between funds are
accounted for as transfers.
H. Vacation and Sick Leave.
All full-time employees accumulate vacation benefits based on length of service up to 20 days per year.The
maximum allowable accumulation is 35 days. Upon leaving the employment of the City, employees will be
paid for unused vacation days, which they have accrued.
Sick leave is earned at a rate of 4.62 hours per pay period up to a maximum of ninety days. Sick leave is not
compensated on termination. Police officers and firefighters may accumulate an unlimited number of sick
leave days while employed with the City. Upon termination, police officers and firefighters are compensated
for up to 720 hours and 1,080 hours, respectively.
I. Debt Management Policies.
The City maintains an informal policy to limit tax-supported debt to no more than 5% of total assessed
property value or$1,500 per capita. As of September 30, 2021,the City's tax-supported debt,funded with ad
valorem taxes,was approximately$51.5 million, or 0.94%of the taxable value of property.As of August 2021,
the City's tax-supported debt was$816 per capita, as reported by the Texas Bond Review Board.

*Source:Texas Bond Review Board, Debt Outstanding by Local Government, Select Cities for Fiscal Year 2021
J. Long-Term Obligations.
Long-term debt and other obligations are recorded for both governmental and proprietary funds in the City's
annual financial statements. These items include bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs,
which are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method in the government-
wide financial statements.
K. Pension Plan.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions,and pension expense,information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas
Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and the Wichita Falls Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (WFFRRF)
and additions to/deductions from Fiduciary Net Position are determined on the same basis as they are
reported to TMRS and WFFRRF. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that
compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit payments
and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.
L. Other Post-Employment Benefits(OPEB).
The fiduciary net position of the City of Wichita Falls Retiree Health Care Plan is determined using the flow of
economic resources measurement focus and full accrual basis of accounting. This includes for purposes of
measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to
other post-employment benefits, OPEB expense, and information about assets, liabilities, and additions
to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position. Benefit payments are recognized when due and payable
in accordance with the benefit terms.
M. General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt Account Groups.
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and long-term liabilities associated with a
fund is determined by its measurement focus.All governmental funds are accounted for on current resources
measurement focus.This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their
56
POLICY STATEMENTS
balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available
spendable resources." Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other
financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly,
they present a summary of sources and uses of"available spendable resources" during a period.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations(general fixed assets)are accounted for in the general
fixed asset account group, rather than in governmental funds. Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed
assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters,
streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems are capitalized along with other general fixed
assets. All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Donated fixed assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Interest costs incurred on
debt-financed construction is capitalized during the construction period.
N. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources.
Deferred outflows represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not
be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. Certain amounts related to the
City's participation in pension and other post-employment benefit plans are reported in the annual financial
statements in this category, along with deferred losses on bond refunding.
Deferred inflows represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so are not
recognized as an inflow of resources(revenue) until that time.The City has only two types of items that qualify
for reporting in this category; property taxes receivable and municipal court fines receivable. Additionally,
certain items related to the City's participation in pension and other post-employment plans are reported in
this category.
O. Cash and Cash Equivalents.
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments are
carried at fair value. Fair value is determined as the price at which two willing parties would complete an
exchange. Interest earned on investments is recorded in the funds in which the investments are recorded.
Management's intent is to hold all investments to maturity and thereby recover the full value of the various
investments made.
P. Encumbrances.
Purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to
set aside that portion of the applicable appropriation. Unencumbered appropriation balances lapse at year-
end and are not carried forward to new budget periods. Open encumbrances are reported as reservations of
fund balance at year-end, and related appropriations are carried forward to the new fiscal year through a
supplemental budgetary allocation in alignment with the City Charter and all applicable state laws and
standards.
Q. Water,Sewer, and Sanitation Receivables.
The City's Water, Sewer, and Sanitation Enterprise Funds operate on a monthly billing cycle, issuing bills
continuously throughout the month.
R. Inventory and Prepaid Items Inventories.
Inventory and Prepaid Items Inventories of the general and proprietary funds consist of supplies and various
materials used for the maintenance of capital assets. The consumption method is used to account for these
57
POLICY STATEMENTS
inventories. Under this method, inventory acquisitions are recorded in inventory accounts initially and
charged as expenditures when used. Inventories are stated at average cost. Certain payments to vendors
reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-
wide and fund financial statements via the purchase method.
S. Capital Assets.
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-like activities columns
in the government-wide financial statements.The City defines capital assets as assets with an initial individual
cost of more than $25,000, and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at
historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
acquisition value at the time received. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following useful lives:
• Assets Years Buildings, systems and improvements: 20-59 years
• Infrastructure: 8- 100 years
• Machinery,vehicles and other equipment: 3 -25 years
• Furniture and equipment: 3 - 10 years
T. Restricted Assets.
These assets consist of cash, certificates of deposit, and other short-term investments legally restricted for
various purposes.
U. Property Tax.
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of the prior January 1.Taxes are levied on October
1, and become delinquent after January 31, unless the half-payment option is elected, in which case one-half
of the tax is due November 30, and the balance the following June 30.
The City is permitted by its Home Rule Charter to levy taxes up to $2.25 per $100 of assessed valuation for
general governmental services including the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt. The budget
proposes a combined tax rate of$0.694321 per$100 of assessed value which means the City has a tax margin
of$1.555679.
The Wichita County Tax Office processes all property tax billing and collections, and maintains the property
tax roll.
V. Independent Audit.
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial records, and transactions of all
administrative departments of the City by Certified Public Accountants. The accounting firm of Edgin,
Parkman, Fleming & Fleming, PC was selected by the Mayor and City Council to satisfy this charter
requirement in the prior and next year.
The auditors' report on the basic financial statements, and combining fund statements and schedules may be
found in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report available on the City's website.
In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in the City Charter, the audit is also designed to meet the
requirements of the federal Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and related Uniform Guidance, and the
State Single Audit Act. A single audit is made to determine the adequacy of the internal control structure,
including that portion related to federal financial assistance programs, as well as to determine that the City
58
POLICY STATEMENTS
has complied with applicable laws and regulations. The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in
conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Amendments of 1996 and the audit requirements of Title 2
of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles,
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).
W. Risk Management.
The government is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the government carries commercial insurance.
For insured programs,there have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage. Settlement amounts
have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the three prior years.
The City maintains a group health insurance plan for employees and dependents which is partially self-insured
by the City. A group life insurance plan is maintained through an insurance company. Contributions to the
plans are provided for by both the City and participating employees. These contributions are recognized as
revenues in the internal service fund used to account for these plans.
The contributions made by the City are recorded as expenditures or expenses of the various funds as
appropriate and are listed in this budget. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred
and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual
claims in excess of$500,000.
Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Claim liabilities are
calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amount
of pay-outs, and other economic and social factors.
X. Basis of Accounting.
For government-wide financial statements and for proprietary funds the City of Wichita Falls uses the
economic resource measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.
Government fund-level financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as per accrual accounting.
However,debt service expenditures,as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property tax,franchise fees,and sales tax associated with the current fiscal period are all susceptible to accrual
and are recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
Y. Budgetary Accounting.
The funds included in the annual budget document are governmental and proprietary. Included Funds are
budgeted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, there are
differences between budgetary accounting and GAAP. These differences have to do primarily with
encumbrance recognition, depreciation, and the accrual of items such as compensated absences, which
59
POLICY STATEMENTS
appear in the financial statements, but are only recognized as an expenditure in the year they are due for
budgetary purposes. Budgets are prepared in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting,which
recognizes revenues when they are measurable and available and expenditures when a liability is incurred.
During the year, the City maintains the accounting system on the same basis as this budget. The Water and
Sewer Fund is reported,for budgetary purposes only, as four separate funds. Because the funds in each fund
are available and measurable for debt service reporting, the funds are reported for accounting purposes as
one fund. The budget is considered balanced with all planned revenues and other available sources balance
to all planned expenditures.
Z. Contingency Appropriations.
The budget may include contingency appropriations within designated operating departmental budgets.
These funds are used to offset expenditures for unexpected maintenance or other unanticipated expenses
that might occur during the year. Use of these funds is limited to the fund in which the funds are budgeted.
Funds may only be used with approval of the City Manager. If purchasing thresholds are met,funds may only
be used through action of the City Council.
AA.Additional Resources.
Additional information may be found in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and the City's
Charter, listed at www.wichitafallstx.gov.

POLICY STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION—FUND ACCOUNTING
The City of Wichita Falls, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to provide more detailed
information about the City's most significant funds, not the City as a whole. A fund is a grouping of related
accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or
objectives. Some funds are required to be established by state law or bond covenants. However,the City Council
establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is
meeting legal responsibilities.
All City funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The City's major funds are the General Fund,the Water&Sewer Fund and the Sanitation Fund.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.The City
has one fiduciary fund, an Agency Fund, which is not accounted for in this document.This fund is used to account
for property that has been abandoned or unclaimed pending escheatment of the State of Texas. Fiduciary Funds
are used to account for resources that are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of these funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting method used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. Financial statements for this fund may be found in the
City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
These funds are used to account for the majority of the City's activities. Governmental fund financial statements
are reported using an accounting method identified as the modified accrual basis of accounting, which measures
cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. The governmental funds focus on near-
term inflows and outflows of expendable resources, as well as expendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year for future spending. Fund balance in governmental funds is represented by the Net Position.
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are
not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General
operating costs,fixed charges,and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from
the General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are
restricted or committed to expenditure for specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
• The City's Special Revenue Fund is used to account for grants not anticipated to be repeated in subsequent
years.
• The Hotel/Motel Fund includes the Convention and Visitors Division and is funded through receipts from
a hotel occupancy tax on local hotels/motels. This revenue must be used to fund projects that attract
conventions and tourists to Wichita Falls. In the event of a shortfall in this fund,the General Fund budgets
for and provides a yearly subsidy.
• The Community Development Block Grant Fund (CDBG) is funded by federal grants. The CDBG is used to
fund projects that benefit low and moderate-income individuals,families, or areas.
• The other Special Revenue Funds are restricted by state statute or by grant contracts.
• Venue Tax revenue is used to fund projects classified as a venue such as an arena, coliseum, stadium, or
any other facility build to accommodate sports events or community events.
61
POLICY STATEMENTS
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report payments for City debt service.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
When the City charges customers for services it provides, whether to outside customers or to other units within
the City,the activities are generally reported in proprietary funds.The City of Wichita Falls maintains two different
types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. Proprietary funds are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting in the City's financial statements.The
fund balance in a proprietary fund is, in accounting, referred to as 'working capital', it is the variance between
current assets and current liabilities. This is because proprietary funds report long-term commitments not
reported in the governmental funds.
Enterprise funds are used to account for the City's water and sewer operations, sanitation collection and disposal
services, regional and municipal airports, transit operations, storm water drainage improvements, MPEC, golf
course, and waterpark operations.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to report activities that provide supplies and services to other
City programs, such as fleet maintenance, print shop services, information technology, and the employee benefit
trust. Because these services benefit both governmental and business-type functions, they have been allocated
between governmental and business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Enterprise funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement
focus.
Budget vs Accounting:
The Water and Sewer Fund, Sanitation Fund, and Stormwater Fund are enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are
used to account for operations:
1) Which are business-type activities, where the intent of the governing body is that the costs of providing
goods/services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed primarily through user charges; or
2) Where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenue earned, expenses
incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability, or other purposes.These revenues are also used to retire revenue bond debt and to fund
various capital construction projects.
For budget purposes, the Water and Sewer Fund is represented as a group of funds which include the primary
operating fund as well as the capital funds for Lake Ringgold, Microfiltration and Reverse Osmosis Fund,and Water
&Sewer Capital.
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods/services provided by one department or
agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.
The Fleet Maintenance Fund is primarily financed through monthly charges to other City departments/divisions,
which pay for vehicle rental, maintenance,fuel, services, and capital replacement.
The Information Technology Fund is an internal service fund that provides other City departments/divisions with
network, internet, applications, and communications support. Departments are charged monthly technology fees
to finance this fund's operations and to cover the cost of computer replacement and network enhancements.
62
POLICY STATEMENTS
The Capital Improvement Plan, while not a fund itself, includes capital expenditures that are distributed
throughout the document in the applicable fund.
POLICY COMPLIANCE
The City of Wichita Falls continually monitors financial practices throughout the year to ensure strict adherence.
These policies are reviewed annually and updated, when needed, to ensure continued compliance with the
following provisions:the State of Texas Local Government Code, the Government Finance Officers Association of
the United States and Canada—Best Practices, provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Much of the City's financial compliance is regulated through the completion of the Annual Financial Audit. The
result of the audit is compiled into the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which is available on the
City's website. The report is shared with the Government Finance Officers Association and is rated for Financial
Excellence.
USE OF NON-RECURRING REVENUES
Committed Fund Balance -the City's highest level of decision-making authority is vested in the City Council. A
resolution is a formal action required to be taken to establish, modify,or rescind a fund balance commitment, and
must be approved by the Council at a City Council Meeting. The resolution must either be approved or rescinded,
as applicable, prior to the last day of the fiscal year for which the commitment is made. The amount subject to
the constraint may be determined in the subsequent period.
Assigned Fund Balance-The City Council has authorized the City's Chief Financial Officer as the official authorized
to assign fund balance to a specific purpose as approved by this fund balance policy.
Minimum Unassigned Fund Balance
General Fund - It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an unassigned fund balance in the general fund
equal to 20%of expenditures(including operating transfers out). The City considers a balance of less than 15%to
be cause for concern,barring unusual or deliberate circumstances,and a balance of more than 25%as excessive. If
unassigned fund balance falls below the goal or has a deficiency, the City will plan to adjust budget resources in
subsequent fiscal years to restore the balance.
Water and Sewer Fund- It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an unassigned fund balance in the water
and sewer fund equal to 20% of operating expenditures (including operating transfers out). The City considers a
balance of less than 15%to be cause for concern, barring unusual or deliberate circumstances, and a balance of
more than 25%as excessive. If unassigned fund balance falls below the goal or has a deficiency,the City will plan
to adjust budget resources in subsequent fiscal years to restore the balance.
Sanitation Fund - It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an unassigned fund balance in the sanitation
fund equal to 17% of operating expenditures (including operating transfers out). The City considers a balance of
less than 15%to be cause for concern, barring unusual or deliberate circumstances, and a balance of more than
25%as excessive. If unassigned fund balance falls below the goal or has a deficiency, the City will plan to adjust
budget resources in subsequent fiscal years to restore the balance.
Appropriation from unassigned fund balance shall require the approval of the City Council and shall be only for
one-time expenditures, such as capital purchases, and not for on-going expenditures unless a viable plan
designated to sustain the expenditures is simultaneously adopted. The City Council may appropriate unassigned
63
POLICY STATEMENTS
fund balances for emergency purposes, as deemed necessary, even if such use decreases the fund balance below
the established minimum.
Order of Expenditure of Funds
When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure (for example, a construction project is
being funded partly by a grant,funds set aside by the City Council,and unassigned fund balance),the City will start
with the most restricted category and spend those funds first before moving down to the next category with
available funds.

the unique characteristics of the fund groups represented in the portfolios.
Scope& General Strategy
The City's investment portfolio shall consist of a variety of securities which may include any or all of the
authorized investments listed in Authorized Investments of this Policy. The City will maintain separate
portfolios or one commingled portfolio which will utilize the specific investment strategy considerations
list for each fund type below.
It shall be the general practice of the City to utilize an investment strategy based on the Standard of Care,
of this Policy,which also defines yield objectives,as well as the Public Funds Investment Act,Chapter 2256

2 In accordance with the State of Texas, Public Funds Investment Act,22556.005(b)(2)and 2256.005(b)(3).
66
POLICY STATEMENTS
maturity date and to have invested in such a manner to ensure both the safety and liquidity of such
transaction.
The City will maintain a diversified investment portfolio with the intention of experiencing minimal
volatility during economic cycles. In the event, however,the need arises to sell securities before the stated
maturity date, said securities shall be analyzed to determine the appropriate time to liquidate said
securities and minimize any potential real or book value loss to the City. In the event that an investment's
rating is decreased, all prudent measures will be taken to determine if the quality of the investment
remains within the investment standards of the City. If it does not, all prudent measures will be taken to
liquidate the investment. '
General Operating Funds
The City's investment strategy for General Operating Funds shall be made to ensure that anticipated cash
flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity.
Bond Operating Funds
The City shall utilize an investment policy for Bond Operating Funds to generate a dependable revenue
stream for the appropriate debt service funds consistent with the City's Investment Policy and state law.
Debt Service Funds
The City shall utilize as the primary objective for the investment of Debt Service Funds adequate liquidity
to cover the debt service obligation of the City on required payment dates. Investments shall not have a
stated final maturity date which exceeds the appropriate debt service payment date.
Special and Trust Funds
The City shall invest Special and Trust Funds in accordance with state law and the City's Investment Policy
to the maximum ability that such investments may benefit the City directly, or utilize said funds in a
method that such funds may benefit the City indirectly.
Investment Officer
In accordance with PFIA 2256.005 (f),the City of Wichita Falls Chief Financial Officer is the Investment Officer(10)
and is responsible for establishing operating policies, which will ensure that investments are maintained in a
proper and prudent maturity distribution, represent sound extensions of credit, and are appropriate investments
with regard to regulatory and legal requirements. The 10 will be accountable to the City Manager. Ultimate
responsibility for management of the investment portfolio rests with the 10. It is expected that the 10 may wish
to delegate one or more of the specific investment objectives. Sales from the portfolio must be approved by the
10 and the City Manager.
At least bi-annually,the City Council shall be provided with information regarding securities, purchases, and sales
of the previous period to determine their adherence to the Investment Policy and applicable laws and regulations.
Investment strategies should be formulated with special regard to the City's liquidity needs, cash flow
requirements, the projected economic environment, and policy guidelines as established by the Investment
Policy.

67
POLICY STATEMENTS
Summary information must be provided to the City Council on the composition, size, quality, maturity, yield, and
current market valuations for the Investment Portfolio. Implementation of this policy is the responsibility of the
Investment Officer.
Conflicts of Interest& Ethics Disclosure
In accordance with this policy, the 10 will file a disclosure statement with the Texas Ethics Commission
and the governing body if:
The officer has a personal business relationship with a business organization offering to engage in an
investment transaction with the City (as defined in 2256.005 (i)(1-3)); or the officer is related within the
second degree by affinity or consanguinity, as determined under Chapter 573 of the Texas Government
Code,to an individual seeking to transact investment business with the City.'
Investment Training
Investment training is required for the treasurer,CFO,and the investment officer(s)of a local government.
Training must be received from an independent source, approved by the City's governing body or
investment committee, and must include education in investment controls, security risks, strategy risks,
market risks,diversification of investment portfolio,and compliance with PFIA.Ten hours of training must
be completed within 12 months of taking office or assuming duties.Thereafter,ten hours of training must
be completed every two years.'
Diversification, Cash Flow& Portfolio Management
The 10 shall be required to diversify maturities. The 10, to the extent possible, will attempt to match
investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Matching maturities with cash flow dates will
reduce the need to sell securities prior to maturity,thus reducing market risk. Unless matched to specific
requirements, the 10 may not invest more than 30% of the portfolio for a period greater than two (2)
years.
Standard of Care
The City's investments shall be made with judgment and care under circumstances then prevailing that persons
of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but
for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived and
optimum liquidity required for operations in the City. Safety shall be the first priority, adequate liquidity the
second, and yield,the third priority. Individual investments shall be made in a manner consistent with this Policy.
Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall
be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. This standard states:
"Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing,which persons
of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for
speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the expected
income to be derived."

Investment Policy Certification
All investment activity under this policy requires that investments shall only be made with the business
organizations (including money market mutual funds and local government investment pools)that have provided
the City with a written instrument, executed by a qualified representative of the firm, acknowledging that the
business organization has:
a. received and reviewed the City's Investment Policy; and
b. implemented reasonable procedures and controls in an effort to preclude investment transactions
conducted between the entity and the organization that is not authorized by the entity's Investment
Policy, except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of the City's
entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective investment standards.'
Authorized Investments
In accordance with authorizing federal and state laws, the City's Depository Contract, and appropriate approved
collateral provisions,the City may utilize the following types of investments for the City's funds:
• U.S. Treasury Securities
• Federal Agencies
• Municipal Bonds
• Certificates of Deposit and Share Certificates
• Repurchase Agreements
• Bankers'Acceptances
• Commercial Paper
• Mutual Funds
• Public Investment Pools
The City may invest in only these investments authorized by the Act, Sec. 2256.009.The City may not invest in any
investments unauthorized by the Act, Sec. 2256.009(b)(1-4).
U.S. Treasury Securities
U.S.Treasury securities are direct obligations of the United States Government. U.S.Treasury obligations are the
highest quality and are the most liquid and marketable of investment securities. Investments in this category will
include Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. U.S. Treasury bills are sold on a discount basis and
have initial maturities of three months, six months, and one year. U.S. Treasury notes and Treasury bonds are
coupon-bearing instruments with initial maturities from two to ten years for notes and ten to thirty years for
bonds.
The average life of the U.S. Treasury securities portfolio will not exceed 2.5 years and no individual security will
exceed 5 years in maturity. Treasuries may comprise up to 100%of the Investment Portfolio.
Federal Agencies
After U.S. Treasury securities, Federal agency securities are generally regarded as the next highest quality
investment suitable for the portfolio.
Federal agency obligations are usually acceptable for pledging and other collateral requirements. Agencies
generally offer a rate of return slightly higher than direct U.S. Treasury securities. The spread difference in yield
6 PFIA 2256.005(k-I)
69
POLICY STATEMENTS
will be effected by the general level of interest rate, markets, and economic conditions at any given time.
Consideration should be given to the spread relationship existing when portfolio investment decisions are made.
Securities included in this category are debt issuance by the Federal Farm Credit System (Farm Credits), Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Student Loan Marketing
Association (SLMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or "Freddie Mac"), the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA or"Ginnie Mae"), and Small Business Administration (SBA).
The average life of the U.S. agency section of the portfolio will not exceed 2.5 years and no individual security will
exceed 5 years in maturity. U.S. agencies may comprise up to 100%of the Investment Portfolio
Municipal Bonds
Any direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities, the 10 shall consider prudent
diversification of investment holdings per obligor. Compliance with all legal and regulatory guidelines shall be
adhered to in the purchase and holding of securities. Taxable municipal obligation purchases may be made but
are subject to the same credit, maturity, and geographic distribution requirements that may be applicable as
dictated by the Investment Policy.
Credit information will be maintained sufficiently for management of the City to exercise an informed judgment
in determining whether the securities should be purchased and to enable regulators to determine that each
security purchased meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. Credit information sufficient for the 10 and
City Manager to comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements relating to the approval of each investment
shall be provided. The City shall retain all records relating to transactions in its investment portfolio as may be
required by statute or regulation. Additional consideration will be given to the increased yield spread of taxable
municipals over all other taxable investment alternatives.
Various political subdivisions of state and local government issue debt through municipal securities generally
under two categories: general obligation (G.0.) and revenue bonds. G.O. bonds are issued for a variety of public
financing needs. They are generally regarded as the most credit worthy of municipal securities as they are backed
by the taxing authority of the issuing governmental entity. Revenue bonds are issued to finance specific projects
(i.e. water and/or sewer revenues) and depend on the revenue or fee generated from the projects for repayment
of principal and interest. Bonds with a minimum Moody's Investors Service of A or Standard&Poor's Service rating
of A shall be considered as eligible portfolio investments. An exception may be made for local,well-known credit
issues where the cost of obtaining a credit rating by the issuing body is prohibitive.
Geographical distribution of municipals is an effective method of diversifying the City's overall credit risk and
maximizing income potential.
The City will consider the following credit information on general obligation municipals to be purchased:
1) Relationship of debt burden to property valuation.
2) Reasonableness of debt burden on a per capita basis.
3) Sinking fund provisions.
4) Historical trends of debt.
5) Future debt service requirements.
6) Assessed valuation, including basis of assessment.
7) Relationship of tax burden to property valuation.
8) Tax collection record.

POLICY STATEMENTS
9) Recent trends in tax rates.
10) Economic background.
11) Debt paying ability.
12) Population trends.
The City will consider the following credit information on revenue municipals to be purchased:
1) The number of times gross revenue covers debt service (coverage).
2) The segregation of revenue funds from general funds.
3) The flow of revenues to specific reserve accounts.
4) Special covenants that may limit default remedies.
The average maturity of this section of the portfolio will be no greater than two years and comprise no more than
25%of the Investment Portfolio.

Internal Controls
Investments are audited in conjunction with the City's Annual Financial Audit. If investments are outside of money
market mutual funds, investment pools or accounts offered by its depository bank in the form of certificates of
deposit, or money market accounts or similar accounts these investments are subject to a compliance audit of
management controls and adherence to this investment policy.'
Investments which may become ineligible after purchase, which were eligible at the time of purchase,will not be
required to be liquidated until such investment reaches its date of maturity.10
Securities Dealers/Transactions
The City has employed Sentry Management, Inc. (SMI) to provide professional investment advice for the City's
investment portfolio and other related investment areas such as asset/liability and interest rate risk analysis. SMI
is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a registered investment adviser and municipal
advisor. SMI may be employed on a set fee basis only, and may not act as a dealer.
The 10 and City Manager recognize the importance of receiving objective, professional advice in management of
the investment portfolio, however it is explicitly understood the City, through the 10, does not delegate
responsibility for the portfolio to SMI. All acquisitions and/or sales of securities will be directly at the discretion
of the City.
SMI places dealers in competition on purchases and sales and maintains records of each transaction. Transactions
are done on a "best execution" basis, which precludes limiting any individual dealer's securities' volume with the
City. Setting maximum volume quotas could force the City to purchase or sell securities at less than the best price
and would not be in the best interest of the City.
Further, SMI may not execute a transaction for the City without specific authorization from the City.
The City may have transactions with any Federal Reserve Reporting Government Dealer (Primary Dealer). The
Federal Reserve requires all Primary Dealers to maintain large capital and be financially solvent.
In addition to Primary Dealers,the City may have security transactions with the dealers listed on Exhibit A. Current
financial information is maintained by SMI on the dealers listed on Exhibit A and is made available to the City.
Additionally, the City will maintain information on each dealer listed. The City may purchase or sell any of the
approved investments listed in the Investment Policy from or to any of the approved securities dealers.
It shall be the City Manager's and the 10's responsibility to review the dealers'financial condition. Considerations
of each dealer will be the dealer's capital and financial strength and general reputation with other financial

POLICY STATEMENTS
institutions and investment dealers. Whenever available and possible, the City will consider information from
state or federal securities regulators and securities industry self-regulatory organizations, such as the National
Association of Securities Dealers, concerning any formal enforcement actions against the dealer, its affiliates or
associated personnel.
In the event that Sentry Management is not involved in a transaction,the City will be responsible for the following:
Every dealer with whom the City transacts business will be offered a copy of this Investment Policy to assure that
they are familiar with the goals and objectives of the investment program. The broker/dealer will be required to
return a signed copy of the Certification Form certifying that the policy has been received and reviewed.
To further insulate the City from dealer exposure, the City will permit delivery-versus-payment settlement only
on security transactions. Further, all securities will be held in safekeeping at the City's primary depository bank
or another third party bank.
All personal securities transactions by the 10 with the City's approved securities dealers are prohibited unless
specific City Manager approval is received prior to the transaction. Periodic review of personal transactions with
approved securities dealers will be performed by the City Manager. All of the City's records are available for
unannounced, on-site inspection at SMI offices by any representative of the City.
All investment management activities are to be conducted in accordance with the State of Texas, Public Funds
Investment Act, 2256.005 (b)(3). Contracts with investment and financial advisors will be reviewed at least every
three years, and put out to bid a minimum of once every 5 years from adoption of this policy.
Exceptions to Policy
This policy is intended to be flexible to deal with rapidly changing conditions in the City's economic environment
and the global bond and money markets. Therefore,this policy can be amended by a review of the City Manager
and 10, and/or a majority vote of the City Council. If amended in substance by the City Manager and 10, the
changes will be presented to the City Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting.This policy shall be reviewed
by the City Council, City Manager, 10 at least annually.

GENERAL FUND
The change in available ending fund balance is due to the previously mentioned recommendation to use
portions of unrestricted fund balance for one-time expenditures. This is possible because the City has met its
fund balance policies in the affected funds. Restricted funds are funds that are restricted by the City to
complete a specific project or for a specific purpose. Use of these funds will not prevent the City from meeting
its fund policy in the next year.

REVENUES
Total Operating Revenues in the General Fund are projected to be$91,552,713 which is an increase of$8,668,201
or 10.46%from the prior year budget. The increase is due mostly to increased Sales Tax revenue, which has seen
an extremely positive recovery since the onset of the pandemic. Operating revenues represent recurring receipts
which support the ongoing operations of the City. Total Revenues are projected to be $103,351,602 which
includes Transfers In of$3,108,889 and Other Financing Sources of$8,690,000. Other Financing Sources represent
a use of surplus General funds for one-time expenditures.
Property Tax (Ad Valorem Taxes): The proposed budget anticipates an increase of $1,448,300 or 3.49% in
Property Tax revenues. Property Taxes make up 47% of General Fund operating revenues making it the largest
source of revenue available to the City to fund general operations. Property tax revenues have grown as the
assessed value of properties have increased. In the last ten years, the City of Wichita Falls has faced economic
challenges, including the impact from a record setting drought and a pandemic but has shown resiliency through
a slow yet steady economic recovery.The average annual growth over the six-year period is 5.6%.

GENERAL FUND
Sales Tax: Sales Tax represents 34% of the proposed budget's General Fund operating revenues and is a volatile
source of revenue. Sales Tax is derived from businesses operating within City limits and is applied to goods and
services sold. Sales Tax is affected by changes in the economy, and it is projected that this revenue source will
increase 21.11%from the prior year's budgeted collections. As you can see in the chart below,the FY 2023 budget
includes a 1.34%increase from FY 2022 sales tax revenue.

Actual Actual Actual Budget
Of the total Sales Tax collected in the City, the State of Texas receives 6.25% and the City receives 2.0%. The
proceeds from the City's portion of this tax are used to support the general operations of the City and to provide
funds for infrastructure improvements and economic development.The City's sales tax is distributed as follows:
• 1.5%is deposited into the City's General Fund
• .25% is governed by a private non-profit economic development corporation, the Wichita Falls Economic
Development Corporation(established pursuant to Section 4A of the Texas Development Corporation Act of 1979)
• .25% is governed by a private non-profit corporation designed to make infrastructure improvements to attract
economic activity to the community,the Type B Sales Tax Corporation (established pursuant to Section 4B of the

Franchise Fees: The City receives payments from ONCOR Electric, ATMOS Gas, Spectrum, and various
telecommunication providers for the use of the City's right-of-way for their distribution lines. Generally, the City
calculates a three-year average of payments from ONCOR and ATMOS to arrive at the revenue projection for those
franchises. The budgeted amount for Spectrum is based on current year estimates, and the amount from
telecommunication providers is based on the most recent number of access lines in the City's right-of-way. The
proposed budget increases expected revenues from the prior year and utilizes the three-year average calculation.
The proposed budget for FY 2023 is $5,465,127 which is 5.57%higher than the FY 2022 budget.
Payments-In-Lieu of Taxes: The City receives Payments-In-Lieu of Property Tax from a few industries that are
located outside the city limits as part of non-annexation agreements. These agreements guarantee that the City
will provide fire protection and will not annex the industry into the city limits. In exchange, the industry provides
a payment to the City that is based on a percentage of what they would have paid in property taxes had they been
located inside the city limits.The FY 2023 proposed budget is $1,550,000 which represents the 3-year average.
Municipal Court Fines: Municipal Court Revenues are projected to decrease by$32,424 or 1.27%from the prior
year budget. As the effects of the Pandemic decrease, it is anticipated this revenue source will return to normal
operations by the end of 2023.
Service Charges: All non-General Fund operations receive administrative support from the General Fund. This
support includes the work performed in the following departments:
• Finance andAccounting
• Human Resources
• Building Maintenance
• Legal
• City Clerk
• General Administration
Each year,the cost of these support services is allocated to user departments through an administrative overhead
charge. As the costs for these services increase, and/or other non-General Fund operations use a higher
percentage of these services, the administrative overhead charges received in the General Fund increase.
84
GENERAL FUND
Additionally, enterprise operations like the Water/Sewer System and Sanitation System make a payment to the
General Fund for use of the City's right-of-way similar to franchise fees from a privately run company. These
"franchise fees" are based on a percentage of gross receipts for the enterprise operations. In total,these internal
assessments have increased by$173,247 or 6.20%.
Miscellaneous Revenues: The proposed budget for this category is $2,679,806 which is $1,678,028 higher than
the FY 2022 budget. The City receives interest earnings from reserves that are invested with local government
investment pools and fixed income securities. In recent years, low interest rates meant that interest earnings
were below .25%. Recent actions by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to help curb inflation have
changed the outlook for the markets and the estimated earnings for FY 2023 are 2.6%.
Transfers In: This category represents transfers in for franchise fees from the Water and Sewer Fund for
$1,827,817, the Sanitation Fund for$969,072, and the Fleet Fund for$312,000 for a total of$3,108,889.
Other Financing Sources:This account shows transfers in from previously accumulated fund balance. Largely
due to better than anticipated sales tax revenue and lower costs due to personnel vacancies, there is
$8,690,000 in funds available for one-time expenditures.

GENERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES
For FY 2023, General Fund budgeted expenditures are $103,351,602 which is an increase of $15,380,360 or
17.48%from the FY 2022 Adopted Budget. These increases are a result of Merit/STEP and COLA increases for all
City employees, a few new positions added, and increased Debt Service, Capital Improvements, and
Utilities/Service Charges. The budget includes the use of$8,690,000 in surplus funds for one-time expenditures
and are represented as transfers out to other funds and one-time expenditures of the General Fund. When these
one-time costs are excluded,the budget for expenditures is$94,661,602 which is$7,893,660 or 9.10%higher than
the prior year budget.
Personnel Services:
The majority of expense in the General Fund is the cost of the personnel necessary to provide vital services to the
community. Personnel services include expenses in the General Fund, which provide for the services of the
following departments:
• Police and Fire
• Streets, Engineering, and Traffic
• Finance, Accounting, Purchasing, and Municipal Court
• Parks and Recreation
• Planning, Inspections, and Property Management
• Building Maintenance
• Animal Services, Nursing, and Environmental Health
• Administrative Support: City Manager's Office, Human Resources Department, City Attorney,
Public Information Office, and City Clerk
The FY 2023 General Fund budget dedicates $68,882,329 or 66.52% of total spending on personnel related
expenses.This is an increase of$3,118,056 or 4.74%,from the prior year. Over half of personnel expenditures in
the General Fund are used to staff the City's police and fire departments.
The main factors for this increase include:
Retirement Programs: The Fire Department receives pension benefits from the Fire Pension Plan, an
independent plant. All other City employees earn retirement benefits from the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS). The current TMRS contribution rate is 16.18%. Our plan is to increase the
fireman's pension rate to the same rate as TMRS(from 13.25%to 16.18%) and keep parity going forward.
The proposed cost of this increase for the FY 2023 budget is$417,174.
Merit/Step Pay Programs: The City also offers employees a merit and step program that is designed to
reward employees for hard work and years of service.This program is set at 2.5%in the proposed budget.
Cost of Living Adjustment(COLA):When applicable, a cost of living adjustment is made to ensure that the
increase to employee pay helps to offset inflation. This Proposed Budget provides a 2.5%COLA increase
for all employees to help offset current inflationary conditions.
The Wichita Falls Fire Pension Plan is not a component unit of the City,however, the liability for this plan is reported as a liability of
the City in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and members of the City's staff are voting members of the Pension Board.
86
GENERAL FUND
This system of increases helps to ensure that long tenured employees are progressively making more each year,
and that equity between newly hired employees and those with multiple years of service is maintained. This
program also encourages staff to work hard and meet the requirements of the position they hold.
The table below shows changes to the Pay Plan over the years.

Longevity/Stability Pay Programs:The longevity and stability pay programs provide an additional benefit to long-
term staff. The longevity program is for civil service staff, and increases for each year of service to the City with a
'top out' at$3,564/year after 15 years of service.This pay is prorated throughout the year and paid to employees
through the payroll system. Stability pay is a program for all non-civil service staff. After two years of qualifying
service,each employee receives$138 per year to a maximum of$1,210 per year after five years of service.Stability
pay is paid annually in December.These long-standing programs remain unchanged in the proposed budget.
Employee & Retiree Healthcare: The General Fund includes an additional $346,586 or 3%, to maintain our
Employee/Retiree Health Care Program. Health care costs continue to rise at a fairly rapid pace, and this increase
is needed to maintain the same level of health care benefits.
Currently, employee/retiree premiums make up about 30%of the cost for health claims and the city contributions
fund the remaining 70%. In total,the General Fund budget dedicates$7,590,666 to this program. The Employee
Benefit Trust Committee that is responsible for managing this program,will be considering the need for increases
to employee/retiree premiums in the near future. If any premium increases are approved, they would go into
effect in January 2023.
87
GENERAL FUND
Supplies:Supplies in the General Fund total$2,297,215 which is an increase of$283,012 or 14.05%from the prior
year.This increase is reflective of increased costs of lumber, steel, and chemicals due to inflation.
Maintenance & Repair: This category represents building and equipment maintenance to support City services.
The proposed budget for this category is $1,682,587 which is $264,353 or 13.58% lower than last year. The
previous budget included additional maintenance and repair costs that had been completed.
Utilities/Other Services: General Fund utilities and other services have increased by$2,112,857 or 26.33%from
the prior year. This increase is primarily attributed to increases in the cost of Central Garage Charges which
includes the higher costs of fuel and repair parts.
Insurance and Contracts: Insurance and Contract expense have increased by $520,718, or 36.36% due to the
increase cost of workers' compensation claims and audit services.
Debt Expenditures: Debt expenditures in the General Fund represent capital lease payment for street lights and
traffic signal equipment.
Other Expenditures: Other expenditures have increased by $560,030 or 13.46% due the increased cost of
information technology services including the general fund's portion of the replacement of public safety radios
and communication system.
Capital Improvements:These funds may be used for projects with a useful life of more than one year and a cost
of more than $25,000, such as equipment purchases and completion of projects to build or maintain
infrastructure. The total cost in this account increased $4,686,304. Capital expenditures include $4,775,000 in
excess General fund balance used for Street Improvements and Police video infrastructure. The total funds
available for Street Improvements in the FY 2023 proposed budget is$4.5M which is$2M more than the FY 2022
budget.
Transfers Out:These funds support other funds through subsidy when needed and also include amounts for one-
time expenditures from surplus reserves from the General Fund.

previously suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a return to in-person programming
as well as large events such as Touch a Truck, Holiday Open House, and our Summer Reading program.

off party, it was evident that people are happy to return. Our door count from the hours of 1 to 3 p.m.
logged 493 people—and it can't count babes in arms or strollers. During that time period,the library gave
out 76 new cards and helped with 218 patron check-outs,while our self-check machines checked out 973
items. The library was eager to assist the City in enhancing public outreach and engagement with our
upcoming programs.
• LIBRARY USAGE:According to the Texas Public Libraries Annual Report for Local Fiscal Year 2020-2021 the
library had an excess of 348,700 circulations,with 77,397 visitors.The library has 30,307 registered library
card users. The library provides access to approximately 1,024,785 items in physical and digital formats.
Our 32 public computers and WIFI are a big draw, resulting in 100,033 computer sessions; in addition,
library staff answered 25,411 inquiries made by the public.There were 62,082 visits to our website during
this time period.Though our staff is relatively small for a library of our size,the library strives to reinforce
a culture of superior customer service on a daily basis with each interaction.
• TOCKER FOUNDATION: In October, the Tocker Foundation selected our library as part of their effort to
help strengthen broadband in rural communities. The library received 10 mobile hotspots with internet
access and cameras that can be checked out to patrons; 16 months of service paid for by the Tocker
Foundation and T-Mobile; and free training and technical support. This grant is worth approximately
$5000, and provided us an opportunity to be inp@vative with no cost to the taxpayer.
LIBRARY
• COLLECTION MAINTENANCE: The library continues to make progress with a goal started two years ago of
weeding physical items that are in poor condition, contain out-of-date information, have been replaced
with digital copies, or do not circulate. The library has mostly completed this project in the adult non-
fiction collection and are now working on juvenile non-fiction. The library is updating signage and
replacing bookends as well. A clean, well-maintained, and up-to-date collection allows us to efficiently
deliver information services to our customers.
• STAFFING: After two library administrative staff members left for new positions, a new library
management hierarchy was created. With the guidance of Human Resources, changes were made to the
structure and classification of the Librarian III and I I positions,which allowed us to hire 2 fulltime Librarians
(promoting from within) and a part time Library Assistant. This is in line with the City's desire to grow
talent from within our organization to help improve employee recruitment and retention.

• Cemetery Division maintained operations of the four City-owned cemeteries.They conducted 72
funerals combined and sold 85 spaces. Riverside expansion is still slowly coming together.The infill
areas have been surveyed and platted. Sales of these spaces were projected to sell quickly, but have
remained slow (11 in 2022).These funds will be needed to continue the next portion of this
construction.
FY2022 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Successfully worked with Work Services Corp (WSC) on outsourcing the maintenance of the eighteen
neighborhood parks with continued good communication and quality of work by WSC staff.
• Continued maintenance of parks was challenging due to workforce challenges. Parks Divisions has averaged
15 to 20 positions short since the pandemic and lack of job applicants.
• The Parks Maintenance department installed a new playground at Rotary Park.This was gifted to the City by
the Rotary Clubs. Another exciting attraction is the Musical Instrument playground at Lucy Park gifted by the
Arts Council and the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra. Lucy Land's 25-year-old west playground was also
replaced through General Fund.
• Wichita Disc Golf Association purchased 18 new baskets for Lucy and 18 for Lake Wichita Park. We removed
the old ones and repurposed 9 baskets to Expressway Village to create another course (very popular). We
are now working with WFDGA to create another 9-hole course in an undisclosed park.
• The new section of Circle Trail from Lake Wichita Park to Larry's Marine is complete. Only two sections
(about 1.5 miles)will remain to complete the long awaited Circle Trail. Construction has taken about 32
years so far.
• Three bridges were rebuilt this year along the Circle Trail, one was he historical swing bridge.

PARK MAINTENANCE
• Parks along with the Daughters of the American Revolution designed and installed the Vietnam Memorial at
Lake Wichita Park. It was such a hit,the Lake Wichita Revitalization Committee has decided to move the
Veterans Memorial Project to this area.
• Parks rebuilt the outlet structure dam at Scotland park pond along with two sections of sidewalks adjacent
to the bridge.

WATER & SEWER FUND
WATER& SEWER (ALL FUNDS)
After maintaining the same water rates since 2014, the proposed FY 2023 budget includes a 9% increase in the
retail rates. The retail rate increase will provide for additional needed water and sewer line replacement, will
address the impact of inflation, and will maintain market competitive salaries. Due to inflation, the cost of
replacing water and sewer lines is up over 111%and 52% respectively, and the cost of chemicals have increased
approximately 150%.The examples of increased cost shared during the Pre-Budget Workshop are listed below.
• Water main replacement cost has more than doubled since 2020, up an average of 111%.
• 2020 Cost=$70.50/LF
• Today's Cost=$148.00/LF
• Sewer line replacement has increase 52%per linear foot since 2020.
• 2020 Cost=$124/LF
• Today's Cost=$188/LF
• Due to the age of water/sewer lines, additional funding is needed for replacement, repair and maintenance.
The proposed budget increases the City's policy goal from 17%to 20%of expenditures in unreserved fund balance,
less debt service. Of the fund's$50,500,083 expenditures in the FY 2023 budget, $12.7 million is reserved for debt
payments, bringing the operating budget to $37.8 million. This means that the total needed to meet the
unrestricted fund balance policy is $7.6 million. The current unrestricted balance at the start of FY 2023 is
anticipated to be$10.4 million. Fund Balance in this fund is both unrestricted and committed.
For budget purposes, the Water and Sewer Fund is represented as a group of funds which include the primary
operating fund as well as the capital funds for Lake Ringgold, Microfiltration and Reverse Osmosis Fund, and
Water&Sewer Capital. The following table breaks out the total revenues and expenditures by the two fund types.

*The FY 2022 budget included a comparison based on 7 sewer unit charges but has been updated to reflect 6 in this more recent analysis.
OPERATING FUND REVENUES
Water Sales:This category makes up the majority of the revenue in the Water& Sewer Fund at about 75%of
total revenue.The proposed budget anticipates a $1,945,901 or 6.49%increase in Water Sales.This increase is
due to the proposed increase in retail rates offset by a drop in estimated usage levels.
Sewer Sales:The proposed budget anticipates sewer sales to increase by$333,743 or 3.57%.This increase is due
to the proposed 9%increase in retail rates offset by a drop in estimated usage levels.
All Other Revenue: All other revenue has increased by $172,206 or 12.19%. This increase is primarily due to
increases in expected interest earnings due to changes in federal monetary policy aimed at decreasing inflation.
The City receives interest earnings from idle funds that are invested with local government investment pools and
fixed income securities. In recent years, low interest rates meant that interest earnings were below .25%. Recent
actions by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to help curb inflation have changed the outlook for the
markets and the estimated earnings for FY 2023 are 2.6%. Prior to the beginning of and throughout FY 2023,the
Federal Reserve is expected to increase interest rates, which will increase the City's interest earnings from bond
holdings.
223
WATER & SEWER FUND
OPERATING FUND EXPENDITURES
For FY 2023, Water & Sewer Operating Fund budgeted expenditures are $43,165,883 which is an increase of
$2,451,850 or 6.02% increase from the FY 2022 Adopted Budget. The major expenses in this fund are Personnel
Services and Debt Expenditures which combined make up over half of the total expenditures.
Personnel Services: Personnel Services are budgeted to increase due to Merit/Step and COLA adjustments to help
ensure market competitive compensation for City staff.
Supplies: Supplies have increased by $1,354,089, or 38.04% from the prior year. This increase is reflective of a
nation-wide increase of chemical and material costs caused by inflation and supply shortages.
Maintenance & Repair: The proposed budget for this category is $2,419,739 which is 6.44% higher than the
previous year budget. This increase can largely be attributed to needed maintenance on the East Scott Facility
that was not budgeted for in the previous fiscal year.
Utilities/Other Services: This category has increased $401,433 or 9.06% due to the increased cost of electricity
and increased costs of fuel.
Debt Expenditures: This category accounts for debt service of$12,717,289 including repayments of three debt
issuances and a payment on a capital lease. More information about debt expenditures is available in the Debt
Service Fund section of this document.
Transfers Out:This account reflects the transfers to other funds for services rendered to the Water&Sewer Fund.

WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND SEWER REHABILITATION
MISSION
The Wastewater Collections and Sewer Rehabilitation Divisions are responsible for the operation and
maintenance of 575 miles of sewer collection system. The sewer collection mains range in size from 48
inch to 6 inch and some of these mains have been in service for nearly 100 years. Collections and
Rehabilitation crews perform repairs, cleaning, and inspection of the sewer pipes and manholes that
convey sewage away from residences and businesses to the Resource Recovery Facility and the Northside
Wastewater Treatment Plant. They also perform smoke testing of the sewer mains to identify points of
infiltration and inflow into the collection system. Additionally, they are responsible for removing
obstructions in the mains that have created a blockage causing wastewater to backup into homes and
businesses.
Annually, approximately $1.0M to $2.0M worth of wastewater pipeline is replaced to help ensure that
the Collections system is of an age and quality to meet resilient, reliable wastewater collections service
for the citizens and industries of Wichita Falls.

SANITATION FUND
SANITATION FUND:
Within the Sanitation fund, there are three divisions: Refuse Collection (listed as Sanitation),Transfer Station, and
the Landfill. This budget also has a unit described as Special Items, which is used to set aside funds for a planned
expansion of the landfill in approximately 20 years.
Together these groups perform the collection of residential and commercial solid waste, and provide the"Choose
to Reuse" program,which includes an Organic Reuse Program and drop off locations to recycle glass, newspaper,
and aluminum. The Division oversees the operation of the City's Transfer Station where waste is deposited into
larger hauling units and transported to the City's landfill, and oversees the operations at the landfill, which
maintains a viable compost facility.
The FY 2023 budget proposes an increase in the City's fund balance policy from 15% to 20% of operating
expenditures which is approximately $3.6 million to ensure adequate reserves for unexpected expenditures or
disruptions in operations. The estimated unrestricted fund balance for FY 2023 is $5.4 million, which is reflective
of reduced spending in previous years due to the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as savings from budgeted but unfilled
positions.

include use of$1.9 million from fund balance to fund needed capital improvements.
Historical Rate Discussion:
The FY 2021 budget included a 6%rate increase to allow recurring replacement of capital equipment.The adopted
FY 2022 budget maintained rates at the previous level. The proposed FY 2023 budget also maintains current rates.
EXPENDITURES
Personnel Services: Personnel Services account for over a quarter of all expenditures in the Sanitation Fund.This
proposed budget increases Personnel Services by $184,791 or 3.81% primarily due to a 5% overall increase for
COLA and Merit/Step for staff to help maintain market competitive compensation.
Supplies: Supplies in the Sanitation Fund total $392,994, an increase of 10.57%from the prior year.This increase
is reflective of cost increases in the economy.
Maintenance & Repair: These costs are $364,750 or 202.03% higher than the FY 2022 budget due to costs for
building maintenance and repairs to the transfer station budgeted in FY 2023.
Utilities/Other Services:The cost of utilities is projected to increase in FY 2023 by$701,883 or 15.10%mostly due
to increased fuel and utility cost.
Capital Improvements:This category reflects transfers in from other City funds, such as the franchise fees for the
Water&Sewer Fund and Sanitation Fund.There is a decrease from the previous year of$774,541 or 19.94%. Each
year the Sanitation Fund transfers approximately$800,000 into the General Fund.The transfer is used to expand
the street maintenance program due to the wear and tear that sanitation trucks put on City streets. Due to the
capital needs in the Sanitation fund in FY 2023,the transfer has been suspended and will resume in FY 2024.
Transfers Out:This account is for operating transfers to other City funds.These transfers are used to pay the funds
franchise fees and to support annual street maintenance due to the load these trucks put on the City's roads. In
the current year, the transfer for street maintenance is excluded to decrease funds needed for capital which
explains the 43.33% reduction in this category. Each year the Sanitation Fund transfers approximately $800,000
into the General Fund.The transfer is used to expand the street maintenance program due to the wear and tear
that sanitation trucks put on City streets. Due to the capital needs in the Sanitation fund in FY 2023, the transfer
has been suspended and will resume in FY 2024.

GRANTS/SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The City budgets for special revenue in multiple funds. The special revenue funds are used to account for the
proceeds from specific revenue sources(other than for major capital projects or proprietary funds)that are either
legally restricted to be expended for specified purposes or have revenue sources committed for specific purposes.
The City has one special revenue fund, which is not legally mandated to be budgeted. The Miscellaneous Special
Revenues Fund accounts for various revenues generated in the form of contributions, fees, concessions, rents,
and other charges and their related expenditures. This fund also includes revenues derived from various grants
for health and police programs. The revenues in this fund are expended to support the activity generating the
revenue or as designated by the contributor. The Fund financial statements may be found in the City's Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report, and the fund is audited annually. Allocations in this fund are appropriated
throughout the year by action of the City Council.

DEBT SERVICE FUND
GENERAL DEBT SERVICE FUND
General debt service is used to account for the monies set aside for the payment of principal and interest
to holders of the City's general obligation bonds. The sale of general obligation bonds finance long-term
capital improvements such as facilities, streets, drainage, and parks. When allowable under federal tax
law, state law, and in compliance with City policy, bonds may be refunded to achieve debt service savings
on outstanding bonds. The City considers refunding when a cost savings will be recognized and market
conditions are favorable. The City works closely with its financial advisor and bond counsel when
considering an original issuance or refunding.
General Obligation (GO Bonds)
All General Obligation Bonds are issued on the full faith and credit of the City and are secured by ad
valorem taxes levied against all taxable property. The state requires incorporated cities to submit
proposed bond issues to a public referendum and receive voter authorization prior to bond issuance
(Article 701).These bonds are serviced by the Debt Service Fund with an apportionment of the ad valorem
tax levy.
Combination Tax and Revenue(CO Bonds)
The Combination Tax and Revenue Bonds are secured by ad valorem taxes levied against all taxable
property as well as a pledge of surplus net revenues of the City's combined waterworks and sewer system.

DEBT SERVICE FUND
WATER AND SEWER DEBT SERVICE
Water and Sewer Debt Service is used to finance long-term capital improvements. A revenue bond is a
legal debt instrument used to finance permanent public projects.The bond is backed by the full faith and
credit of the issuing government, and is paid for by revenue from user rates. Unlike GO bonds, revenue
bonds do not require voter approval.The City Council is authorized to approve the bond and set the user
rates to make the annual payments.All of the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds were issued for purposes
of improving the City's water and sewer systems and are serviced by the net revenues of the Water and
Sewer Fund.
In 2015,Standard& Poor downgraded the City's Water/Sewer Fund credit rating due to the declining fund
balance during a record-breaking 5-year drought. The drought caused the city to implement an Indirect
Potable Use system to provide water for the region. The significant decrease in available fund balance
negatively affected the City's rating with the bond market. However,as revenues have increased in recent
years;the City's credit rating has increased.
As reported by Texas Municipal Reports,
11/05/2018- Moody's Rating Report:
Underlying Rating Upgrade to Al from A3 "Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the City of
Wichita Falls, TX Water & Sewer Enterprise's ("System") revenue rating to Al from A3. The
upgrade affects approximately $68.5 million of Moody's rated debt, but considers an additional
$65.4 million.The outlook is stable.
"The upgrade to Al reflects the systems materially improved financial operations and reserves,
as a result of the successful implementation of a significant rate increase in 2014 after a recent
drought. The five-year drought led to a temporary but substantial reduction in the city's water
supply, and ultimately resulted in materially lower water sales, low debt service coverage, and a
reduction in liquidity levels. Further, the rating considers the policy changes and system
improvements made by the city in order to slow water-loss in the event of additional droughts.
Finally,the rating considers the system's above-average debt profile, as well as a stable economic
base."

of$118,770,000 for improvements to the City's water and sewer system.The issue was refunded once in

HOTEL/MOTEL FUND
HOTEL/MOTEL FUND:
The Hotel/Motel Fund contains two divisions, the Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB) and the Multi-Purpose
Events Center (MPEC). A change in accounting policy in 2021 caused these divisions to be transferred to the
Hotel/Motel Fund. Due to this change, revenue generated by the MPEC was accounted for in this fund causing an
overall increase in revenue from FY 2021. CVB expenditures were also accounted for in this fund, which explains
the increase in total expenditures from FY 2021.
In October of 2021, the City resumed management of the MPEC facilities after the five-year agreement with a
third-party management company expired. During that time, the City has made tremendous improvements to
the facilities and will have held over 260 events through the end of this year. The fund's total operating
expenditures increased by$1,002,114.This increase is due to the Merit/Step and Cola increases for personnel, an
increase in cost of goods and supplies, and an anticipated increase in the cost of utilities. The proposed budget
increases the operating transfer from the General Fund from $400,000 to $500,000. The budget also includes a
recommended one-time transfer from the General Fund's surplus fund balance of $2,689,000. The proposed
funds would be used for capital improvements to update and renovate Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall and to update the
catering/concession areas. The proposed funds would also be used to establish a Co-Promotional Show fund.

REVENUES
Taxes: As economic conditions continue to recover and improve from the COVID-19 pandemic, Hotel/Motel Tax
revenues are expected to increase by$100,000, or 4.76%.The Hotel/Motel tax is assessed against the occupants
of rented rooms in hotels, motels,and bed and breakfasts. Both the City and the state collect taxes from the rental
of these rooms.The State of Texas rate is 6%and the City rate is 9%,for a combined hotel/motel tax rate of 15%.
A hotel's owner, operator, or manager must collect hotel taxes from their guests and remit these taxes to both
the local municipality as well as to the state. Tax revenue from the city hotel occupancy tax may be used only to
promote tourism, conventions, and the hotel industry. Cities also have the option to use this tax for the
encouragement, promotion, and improvement of the arts and the City of Wichita Falls uses a portion of these
taxes to accomplish these goals.
Miscellaneous Revenues:This account reflects revenues projected to be generated from the MPEC under City
management, and is expected to increase $592,114 or 41.94% due to an increased use of the MPEC as the
destination for events in Wichita Falls.
Transfer In:This category increased by$2,789,000 due to excess General Fund revenue being recommended for
one-time expenditures to update facilities at the MPEC including the remodel of Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall and
upgrades to the kitchen facilities and an increase in the MPEC subsidy from $400,000 to $500,000.
EXPENDITURES
Personnel Services: Personnel Services account for 22%of expenditures in the Hotel/Motel Fund. This account
increased by $167,788 or 11.26% due to Merit/Step and COLA increases and labor costs to support additional
event operations.
Supplies: This account contains supplies required to maintain daily operations at the MPEC, and reflects an
increase of$510,227 or 161.40%. Since there has been an increase of events utilizing the MPEC, more supplies
are needed to maintain those operations. This expense was previously accounted for in Spectra's management
fees.
306
HOTEL/MOTEL FUND
Utilities/Other Services: This account has increased by $476,891, or 48.81%. This is due to increased costs of
utilities as well as temporary employment services to support MPEC event operations.
Insurance & Contract Supplies:This account decreased by$80,817 or 38.15%due to the decreased costs of
contract expenses as management and operations have been insourced from 3rd party management.
Debt Expenditures:The proposed budget includes a reduction in debt expenditures of$149,105 or 36.28%as
the venue tax bonds payments are now reflected in a separate fund.
Capital Expenditures: Capital Improvements total $2,514,000 due to excess General Fund revenues being used
for one-time expenditures to update facilities at the MPEC.

HOTEL/MOTEL VENUE TAX FUND
OVERVIEW
HOTEL/MOTEL VENUE TAX FUND:
In November of 2019, the citizens of Wichita Falls voted to approve a 2% increase in the hotel occupancy tax
(HOT). The Hotel/Motel tax is assessed against the occupants of rented rooms in hotels, motels, and bed and
breakfasts. Both Wichita Falls and the State of Texas collect taxes from the rental of these rooms. The State of
Texas rate is 6%and the City's rate is 9%for a combined hotel/motel tax rate of 15%. A hotel's owner, operator,
or manager must collect hotel taxes from their guests and remit these taxes to both entities. Tax revenue from
the city hotel occupancy tax may be used to promote tourism and the convention and the hotel industry. Cities
also have the option to use this tax for the encouragement, promotion, improvement of the arts and the City of
Wichita Falls uses a portion of these taxes to accomplish these goals. The Hotel/Motel Venue Tax Fund tracks the
2%designated towards the improvement and maintenance of our City's venues. In 2020,the City issued Revenue
Bonds for capital improvements and maintenance projects for the City's Multipurpose Event Center (MPEC) and
the Performance Hall in Memorial Auditorium. The proposed budget includes a transfer to the Debt Service fund
for the principal and interest payment on these bonds.

The J.S. Bridwell Agricultural Center, located on the North banks of the Wichita River, was the first phase of the
Multi-Purpose Events Center project completed in 1995. Named in honor of Wichita Falls rancher and
businessman Joseph S. Bridwell (1885-1966),the J.S. Bridwell Agricultural Center hosts everything from dog shows
and rodeos to fundraiser galas. The venue includes a 50,000 square foot Stall Barn and 120' X 270' indoor Arena
with seating for 1,200 people. In 2011, the Wichita Extension Horse Committee built and donated a 70' X 150'

REGIONAL AIRPORT FUND
REVENUES
This budget is projecting revenues to decrease by $299,265 or 13.52% from the previous year. Revenues are
projected to decrease as the FY 2022 budget included American Rescue Plan funding from the Federal Aviation
Administration for debt service that was not continued in FY 2023. Revenue from operations are anticipated to
increase by$342,665 due to increased terminal fees and fuel charges.
EXPENDITURES
Personnel Services:The Proposed Budget has a decrease of$22,463 or 4.21%from the FY 2022 Adopted Budget.
This decrease is due to the elimination of a position at the airport.
Supplies: Supplies in the Regional Airport Fund include a $189,739 or a 56.73%increase from the prior year.This
increase is reflective of increased fuel costs needed to run the FBO.
Maintenance & Repair: Maintenance & Repair costs have increased by $5,954 or 4.89%. This is due to slight
increases in the cost to maintain the buildings and the airport due to current and predicted economic conditions.
Utilities/Other Services: This account line has increased by $16,319 or 7.86%. Most of this increase is due to
Central Garage Services, binding and printing, and bank services.
Transfers Out:This account reflects funds transferred out for debt service. The FY 2022 budget included a debt
service payment that will be made with FAA ARPA funds. More information can be found in the Debt Service
portion of the Budget document, as well as in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which can be
found on the City's website or in the City Clerk's office.
Fixed Base Operations: In April 2020, the City was notified that the existing fixed base operator would not
continue services at the end of their contract in September 2020. The City then decided to assume fixed base
operations under their own management. FBO at the Regional Airport is similar to the current operations already
in effect at the Kickapoo Airport. FBO at the Regional Airport provides refueling, parking, and rental services to
commercial aircraft.

TRANSIT FUND
TRANSIT FUND
The Transit Fund is an Enterprise Fund that is, for the majority, funded through Federal and State Grants. When
needed, a small subsidy from the General Fund is used to cover any remaining expenditures. Due to legislation
passed in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, City Transit Operations will be subsidized with the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Funds through the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA).
The Transit Fund budget is $4,805,630, which is a $1,415,181 or 41.74% increase from the previous year. Transit
Operations and Preventative Maintenance is now operating out of the recently constructed Transit Center. This
will allow the Transit Department to conduct in-house preventative maintenance, refueling, and cleaning on its
fleet of public transportation vehicles. The FY 2023 budget includes increases in fuel, supplies, a cost of living
adjustment (COLA), and merit salary increases, and the purchase of 2 new transit busses.

REVENUES
Intergovernmental Revenue: This account reflects grant funding from state and federal sources, and in most
years,a transfer in from the general fund to subsidize the remaining expenditures in the Transit Fund.This Transfer
will not be needed in the FY 2023 budget due to CARES Act funds being allocated to cover operations.
Misc. Revenue: Miscellaneous Revenue is expected to decrease$900, or 33.33%due to decreased earnings from
concession sales and office rentals.
EXPENDITURES
Personnel Services: Personnel Services account for 33% of all expenditures in the Transit Fund. The Proposed
Budget has a $67,576 or 4.44%, increase from the previous year's Adopted Budget. The increase is due to COLA
and Merit increases City-wide.
Supplies: Supplies in the Transit Fund total $997,359,which is a $334,072 or 51.93%increase from the prior year
due to the Transit Department conducting refueling for its fleet of vehicles in house. In previous years, refueling
was performed at the Fleet Maintenance facility.
Utilities/Other Services: This account has increased by$202,471 or 86.47%. This is due to increased operating
costs needed to run the Transit Center, including $200,000 for the design of the Ohio Street Bridge to serve the
newly opened Travel Center.
Other Expenditures:This account increased from the previous year by$191,260 or 217.68%due to an increase
in administrative overhead charges and $170,000 in budget contingency not budgeted in the FY 2021-22 Adopted
Budget.
Capital Improvements:Capital Improvement expenditures of$1,160,000 include the replacement of two public
transportation busses.

STORMWATER FUND
STORMWATER FUND
In 2000,the City Council authorized the establishment of a Stormwater Drainage Utility System.This system,which
took effect on May 1, 2001, provides a funding mechanism for drainage improvements in the city as allowed under
Chapter 552, Subchapter C of the Texas Local Government Code. The system is designed to assign a fair and
equitable charge to the public for storm water drainage management services, including capital improvements.
The fee is based upon the impervious area of all real property; whereby each residential water customer is
assessed for one Single Family Living Unit Equivalent (SFLUE). Each commercial customer pays a multiplier of the
SFLUE based upon the impervious area of their property.The monthly fee for a SFLUE is$5.00 and generates$3.7
million annually for the operating and capital costs of this program.
The Stormwater Fund has a total budget of$9,537,472,which is an increase of$4,359,047 or 84.18%.This increase
is largely due to the use of reserve funds to begin Phase 2 of the Quail Creek Drainage Project. Phase 1 began in
FY 2019-20, but the COVID-19 pandemic and associated materials cost increases have delayed the project's
progression onto Phase 2 until this fiscal year.

REVENUES
Service Charges: Revenue from Service Charges are expected to remain consistent with previous years.
Misc. Revenues: Interest earnings are expected to increase due to higher interest rates predicted this fiscal year
resulting in more income from earnings from invested assets.This has caused an increase of$145,000,or 580.00%
Other Financing Sources: A contribution from excess fund balance is available for capital improvements that
requires Council Approval of projects for use.This account has increased by$4,214,047, or 289.94%.
EXPENDITURES
Personnel Services: The Proposed Budget includes a $23,342, or 6.64%, increase from the FY2021-22 Adopted
Budget.This increase is mostly due to Merit and cost of living adjustment (COLA) increases for employees.
Maintenance& Repair: Maintenance costs in the Stormwater Fund are expected to decrease$11,416,or 6.80%
due to a slight decrease in needed maintenance of storm sewers throughout the City.
Utilities/Other Services: Utilities and other service costs in the Stormwater department are expected to
increase$34,612 or 15.76%mostly due to increases in Central Garage services caused by fuel price increases.
Other Expenditures: In the previous fiscal year this category accounts for unused additional revenue that will
be transferred to fund balance at year's end. This account has an increase of$4,700 or 41.57%. This is due to an
increase in the rental of tools to perform drainage maintenance.
Capital Improvements: Capital Improvement expenditures increased by $4,311,500 or 107.79%. This is due to
the start of construction on the Quail Creek Phase 2 project and funding available to start other drainage
improvement projects.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
MISSION
Wichita Falls Transit System (FallsRide) total passenger trips saw a decrease from 268,000 the previous year to
approximately 236,000 in 2021. This decrease was due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the reduction of route
availability with the Sheppard Air Force Base lock down and driver shortage for Saturday routes. FallsRide
completed 538,000 revenue miles in delivering public transportation services at an average cost of $4.39 per
revenue mile. The General Fund subsidy, however, due to CARES ACT funding along with funding from the
American Recovery Act was not required. Passenger fares contributed to the revenue stream at an amount of
$135,555.00. The largest contributor to passenger trips continues to be the Mustangs Shuttle route. This public
route provides shuttle service to Midwestern State University (MSU) and Vernon College students, and was
implemented in August of 2011.The route averages nearly 17,000 passengers per month, Monday through Friday,
and this service is subsidized through a partnership with MSU. A second service was added during 2016 to serve
MSU's students that don't have their own transportation. This service, called the MESA route (Meals,
Entertainment, Shopping, Activities), shuttles the students to area businesses that are outside their walking
distance. MSU added an additional service for Dual Credit Students.This service transports High School Students
to MSU for college credits while still in High School. MSU contributes approximately $98,000 annually for these
services. FallsRide also introduced the Night Crawler route in January 2019.The Night Crawler route had an initial
partnership with Work Services Corporation that subsidized the local match in the amount of $16,000 for their
clients to ride the service. The Night Crawler route was open to the public in March 2019 with an increase in
passenger ridership each month, which also included an increase in fare revenue. The Night Crawler route also
developed partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, and these organizations began purchasing Night
Crawler passes and/or rides for their clients. Despite the COVID-19 Pandemic, FallsRide continued operating but
had limited ridership due to the local shut-downs in the area along with cancelled routes due to driver staffing
shortages.

analyzed and identified the top 15 of 60 projects that were on the City's project list and provided cost estimates to complete
those 15 projects. Results of that analysis indicate that it will cost approximately $35 million to construct these 15 projects. It
also suggests that in order to complete this work over the next 10 to 15 years, a total of$3 million per year in projects costs
should be expended. The projects listed in this CIP should be accomplished with existing revenue sources from the
Stormwater Utility Fund, and one time funds.

APPENDIX
GLOSSARY
The Annual Budget contains specialized and/or technical terminology, along with acronyms, that are
unique to public finance and budgeting. To assist the reader in understanding the Annual Budget
document, a glossary of terms is provided.
Account Classification:A basis for distinguishing types of expenditures.The nine major classifications used
by the City of Wichita Falls are: personal services, supplies, maintenance& repairs, utility&other services
(Utilities/Other Serv), insurance&contract support(insur&contr Supp), other expenditures, non capital,
capital improvements and transfers out.
Accrual Basis of Accounting:A method of accounting wherein revenue and expenses are recorded in the
period in which they are earned or incurred regardless of whether cash is received or disbursed in that
period. This is the accounting basis that is generally required to be used in order to conform to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in preparing financial statements for external users.
Ad Valorem Taxes: Also referred to as property tax, this is the charge levied on all real, personal, and
mixed property according to the property's assessed valuation and the tax rate, in compliance with the
State Property Tax Code.
Annual Budget:The total budget as approved by the City Council, as revised.
Appropriation: A legal authorization made by the City Council, which permits City officials to incur
obligations against and to make expenditures of governmental resources.
Assessed Property Valuation: A value established by the Wichita County Appraisal District, which
approximates market value of real or personal property. By state law, one hundred percent(100%) of the
property value is used for determining the basis for levying property taxes.
Assigned fund balance: comprises the portion of net resources for which an intended use has been
established by the City Council or the City Official authorized to do so by the City Council. Assignments of
fund balance are much less formal than commitments and do not require formal action for their
imposition or removal. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance
represents the amounts that are not restricted or committed, but are,at a minimum, intended to be used
for the purpose of that fund.
Balanced Budget: A budget in which the expenditures incurred during a given period are matched by
revenues received during that same period.
Bond:A written promise to pay a sum of money on a specific date at a specified interest rate.The interest
payments and the repayments of the principal are detailed in a bond ordinance.The most common type
of bonds are general obligation (G.O.) and revenue bonds. These are most frequently used for
construction for large capital projects, such as buildings, streets, and water and sewer lines.
Budget: A financial plan for a specified period of time (fiscal year) that matches planned revenues with
appropriations. The "proposed" budget designates the financial plan initially developed by departments
and presented by the City Manager to the Council for approval. The "adopted budget" is the plan as
modified and finally approved by that body.The "approved" budget is authorized by resolution and thus
specifies the legal spending limits for the fiscal year.
