Executive Summary
In accordance with the "Truth in Taxation" laws of the State of Texas, on August 10, 2004, the City Council took a roll call vote on the
proposed tax rate and scheduled a public hearing on the tax rate for August 31,2004. The results of the record vote on the proposed tax rate
and the notice of the public hearing were published in the McKinney Courier-Gazette on August 23,2004,and the Wylie News on August 25,
2004. This public hearing has been advertised in compliance with the publication requirements set forth in the Truth in Taxation Law.
The purpose of the public hearing on August 31,2004,is to give the taxpayers an opportunity to express their views on the tax rate. The City
Council may not adopt the tax rate at this hearing. Instead,at the end of the hearing,it must set and announce the date,time and place of the

a second quarter-page notice,"Notice of Vote on Tax Rate."
4. Hold a public hearing on the proposed budget of the City of Wylie, Texas for Fiscal Year 2005,
beginning October 1, 2004, and ending September 30, 2005.
Executive Summary
The tax rate for fiscal year 2004-2005 is proposed to decrease$0.01 per$100 assessed valuation from$0.705 to$0.695. This will be the fourth
year in a row that the tax rate has decreased. The combined decrease for the four-year period is$0.03 per$100 assessed valuation. A rapid
increase in our total assessed taxable valuation has made this decrease possible. Since fiscal year 2000,the taxable tax base has increased$852
million or 157.1%. For fiscal year 2004-2005,the total assessed value increased by$253,858,535. Of this amount$182,573,710 represented
new construction. An increase in the assessed valuation in FY2004 in combination with a decrease in the tax rate will generate an additional
$1,729,584 in ad valorem tax revenues. Because no general obligation debt was issued during FY2004 the tax revenues required for debt
service will remain constant and the increased revenues will be credited to the General Fund.
Two action items will be placed on the September 14,2004,City Council agenda. The first item will be an ordinance to adopt the FY2005
budget. An ordinance to adopt a tax rate of$0.695 per$100 of assessed valuation will be the second item.

Council and public to view.
Financial Considerations
The proposed budget is based on the proposed tax rate of$0.695 per$100 valuation. This is the rate previously
discussed by the Council. Any change in the proposed tax rate will require revision of the proposed budget.
Other Considerations
The City is required by law to follow certain meeting and notice(publication)guidelines as shown on the attached
calendar excerpt from the"Truth in Taxation"guide.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council schedule the next required public hearing on the tax rate for September 14,
2004, after the close of the public hearing.

WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
August 31, 2004
Issue
Hold a public hearing on the proposed budget of the City of Wylie, Texas for Fiscal Year 2005,
beginning October 1, 2004, and ending September 30, 2005.
Background
The tax rate for fiscal year 2004-2005 is proposed to decrease $0.01 per $100 assessed valuation
from $0.705 to $0.695. This will be the fourth year in a row that the tax rate has decreased. The
combined decrease for the four-year period is$0.03 per$100 assessed valuation. A rapid increase in
our total assessed taxable valuation has made this decrease possible. Since fiscal year 2000, the
taxable tax base has increased $852 million or 157.1%.
For fiscal year 2004-2005, the total assessed value increased by $253,858,535. Of this amount
$182,573,710 represented new construction. An increase in the assessed valuation in FY2004 in
combination with a decrease in the tax rate will generate an additional$1,729,584 in ad valorem tax
revenues. Because no general obligation debt was issued during FY2004 the tax revenues required
for debt service will remain constant and the increased revenues will be credited to the General Fund.
The original estimate of the General Fund Balance at the end of fiscal year 2004 was $1,810,830.
After staff review, revenues at the end of fiscal year 2004 are now estimated to increase$1,003,900
over the original estimate to $12,436,000. Significant increases in fiscal year 2003-2004 revenues
over the amended budget are estimated in Sales Taxes ($218,140), Franchise Fees ($269,000),
Licenses and Permits($265,400), and Service Fees($237,700). Year-end expenditures are estimated
to be $213,450 less than amended budget figures and are spread across the whole fund. As a result,
the fiscal year 2004 ending fund balance in the General Fund is now estimated to be $3,374,830.
The FY2005 budget was prepared to maintain the same level of fund balance as in prior years.
Typically, the City attempts to maintain a fund balance that is 15% of total estimated expenditures.
The budget process begins with departments preparing requests that include a base-line projection,
which is basically a projection to continue the same level of service as the current year. Additionally,
they project any expanded levels of service. The base-line request and the expanded levels of service
are compared to the projected revenues and the fund balance requirement to develop a proposal for
City Council consideration. The major increase in the General Fund for FY2005 is the addition of
(19.4)Full Time Equivalent positions. The new positions include one Warrant Officer/Bailiff in the
Municipal Court; one CID Detective and six Patrol Officers in the Police Department;one Emergency
Medical Services Officer, one Administrative Clerk, and the conversion of 3 FTE part-time
Firefighters to 3 full-time Firefighters; one Plans Examiner in Building Inspections; one Street
Crewleader and two Maintenance Workers in the Street Department; one Parks Crewleader in the
Parks Department; one Wylie Wave Program Leader and one Wylie Wave Assistant Site Supervisor
in the Recreation Department. Current Wylie Wave staff and Management were relocated to the
General Fund's Recreation Department from 4B. The Library added one Library Clerk and reduced
10 hours part-time.
In the Utility Fund, fund balance (working capital) is budgeted to decrease $1,173,840 from the
estimated ending fund balance of$3,206,960 for 2004. Three general areas have a major impact on
this decrease. First, is the completion of the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. In prior
years the City has made various payments for engineering, bond reserve funding, and debt service
payments. Beginning in FY2005 we will become responsible for operational costs as well as
continued debt service. Second, is the addition of the five additional positions detailed below. The
third area is an additional $0.05/1,000 gallon increase in the price that we pay NTMWD for water
purchases. The Utility Fund in FY2005 will be adding 5 new FTE positions. The new positions
include one Utility Administration clerk in the Utilities-Administration department; one Water Utility
Supervisor in Utilities-Water department; one Engineering Technician in Engineering; one
Maintenance Worker II in Utilities-Sewer and one Utility Billing Clerk in Utility Billing.
The attached summary of all operating and capital funds includes the budget for the Wylie Economic
Development Corporation.
Financial Considerations
For all budgeted funds, the projected totals for revenues and expenditures are $33,958,050 and
$35,365,140, respectively. Projected expenditures will be$1,407,090 greater than budgeted revenues
for all funds. The net$1,407,090 spending in excess of revenues is due to drawdowns in fund balance
in the General and Utility Funds.
The budgeted ending fund balance for the General Fund in FY2005 is $2,528,870. This amount
equates to a reserve of 15.8% of budgeted expenditures or approximately 58 days of operating
expenses. The budgeted ending fund balance (working capital) in the Utility Fund in FY 2005 is
$2,033,120. This amount equates to about 83 days of operating expenses or 22.9% of budgeted
expenditures on hand.
Other Considerations
Two action items will be placed on the September 14, 2004, City Council agenda. The first item will
be an ordinance to adopt the FY2005 budget. An ordinance to adopt a tax rate of$0.695 per$100 of
assessed valuation will be the second item.
