Staff Report to the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: March 19, 2018
Agenda Item No: WORK SESSION - A.
I. Subject:
Presentation of the FY2017 annual audit – Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
II. Originated by:
III. Summary:
Paula Lowe, a partner in the Governmental Audit Division at Pattillo, Brown & Hill, will present the CAFR for
FY2017 (October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2017).
GENERAL NOTES TO KEEP IN MIND, REGARDING THIS DOCUMENT
The EDC is not included in this audit, as they undergo a separate audit, which will be presented at
the next Regular Meeting of the EDC Board, on Tuesday, March 27, at 7:00 p.m..
The term 'Governmental Funds' encompasses all non-Water/Sewer Funds; the term 'Non-Major
Governmental Funds' includes LEOSE (Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Education), Park
Dedication, Capital Projects, Roadway Impact Fees, Library Building, and Capital Bond Funds; and
the term 'General Fund' refers to all other funds (not just our budgetary General Fund) and includes
Streets, Capital Replacements, etc.
'Water and Wastewater' includes restricted water and sewer impact fees; however, the
Stormwater Fund is, for the first time, reported separately.
BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
1. The FY16-17 Adopted Budget included an $840,000 drawdown to the General Fund. This fund was only
actually reduced by about $100,000, due primarily to the following:
o Revenue: Taking out a ~$400,000 loan
o Expenditures: ~$100,000 in first-year capital savings by partnering with Enterprise Fleet
Management; and ~$300,000 in combined General Fund savings, largely driven by staff
turnover and strong expenditure controls from Department Heads
2. There was a large savings in the Water & Sewer Fund, due to reduced costs in purchased water and
wastewater from the Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington. Although this short-term strategy of increased
reliance on wells produced real savings, it is not sustainable. Additional significant savings were realized
through delayed capital and maintenance projects.

March 15, 2018
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Citizens of Kennedale:
The City of Kennedale (the “City”) Financial Management Policies requires that the
Ci ty’s Finance Department prepare a complete set of financial statements presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified
public accountants. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the
City of Kennedale, Texas for the fisc al year ended September 30, 201 7 , is hereby issued.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and
reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for
making representations, the City has established a comprehensive internal control
f ramework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse
and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls sho uld not
outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has
been designed to provide reasonable, rather that absolute, assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatements. As management, we asse rt that, to
the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all
material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Pattillo, Brown and Hill LLP,
Independent Certified Public Accountants. The goa l of the independent audit was to
provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fisc al year
ended September 30, 201 7 , are free of material misstatements. The independent audit
involved examining, on a test basis, evidence s upporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a
reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City’s financial statements
for the fisc al year ended September 30, 201 7 , are fairly presented in conformity with
GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is pres ented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 11
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis
to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a Management’s Discussion
and Analysis (MD&A). The letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A
and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately
following the report of the independent auditor.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of Kennedale w as incorporated in 1947. The City of Kennedale is a first tier
suburb of Fort Worth and is located adjacent to Arlington in south Tarrant County. The
City curre ntly occupies a land area of 6.2 square miles and serves a population of 8,315 .
The City is empo wered to levy property tax on both real and business personal properties
located within its boundaries. It also is empowered by state statute to extend its corporate
limits by annexation, which occurs periodically, when deemed appropriate by the city
counc il.
The City operates under a Council/Manager form of government with a City Council
comprised of the Mayor and five Councilmembers. The term of office is two years with
the terms of the Mayor and two of the Councilmembers’ terms expiring in even -
numbere d years and the other terms of the three Councilmembers expiring in odd -
numbered years. The City Council is responsible for enacting ordinances, resolutions, and
regulations governing the City, as well as appointing the members of various statutory
and adv isory boards, the City Manager, City Secretary, City Attorney and Municipal
Judges. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer of the government and is
responsible for the enforcement of laws and ordinances, the appointment and supervision
of the executive directors, and heads of departments, and the performance of functions
within the municipal organization.
The City of Kennedale provides a full range of services including p olice, fire, emergency
medical service, municipal co urt, library, park s, water distribution , wastewater collection ,
solid waste collection , curb -side recycling, streets , storm water drainage, community
development (planning, code enforcement, and building inspection ), and general
administrative services.
The financial repo rting entity (the government) includes all funds of the primary
government (i.e., the City of Kennedale as legally defined), as well as all of its
component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the primary
government is financiall y accountable. Discretely presented component units are legally
separate entities and not part of the primary government’s operations. The Kennedale
Economic Development Corporation (KEDC) is included in the financial statements as a
discretely presented c omponent unit .
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 12
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it
is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the
City of Kennedale op erates.
Local E conomy . After an election in July of 1947, the Town of Kennedale was
incorporated with a population of 300 people. By 1950, the population had increased to
500 residents and a petition to the State of Texas was approved which changed the
To wnship into a recognized City.
Kennedale is becoming one of Tarrant County’s fastest growing cities. Fronted by the
major highways of I -20 and 287, the City provides an excellent location for major retail
and professional businesses. This transportation corridor provides quick and easy access
to the Dallas/Fort Worth In ternational Airport, downtown Fort Worth just 15 minutes to
the west, and downtown Dallas just 20 -25 minutes to the east. Furthermore, the City of
Kennedale is within just a short drive to major entertainment venues including, but not
limited to, Six Flags over Texas, Hurricane Harbor, Texas Motor Speedway , Globelife
Par k at Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers baseball team , and AT&T Stadium, home
of the Dallas Cowboys football team .
Kenn edale has experienced steady population growth in the last decade. Beautiful Village
Creek slowly winds through the City and provides a tranquil feeling throughout the
community. Current and future subdivisions are designed on oversized lots, which result
in spacious residential areas that compliment the coveted rural setting.
Currentl y, the City is 6.2 squ are miles with much of this land undeveloped. This allows
for selective locations for the incoming developments and pulls the citizen away from the
cro wds and traffic congestion of a major metropolitan city. As the economy continues to
grow and expand into North Texas , Kennedale will be an attractive choice for businesses
and families alike.
The Kennedale Economic Development Corporation (KEDC) was for med in 1996 to
spearhead the economic growth of the City. The KEDC is funded by a voter approved,
half cent sales tax, which is used to offer grants and other economic incentives t o existing
and new businesses. The KEDC is pursuing a four -pronged approach to economic
development: land assembly and clearing for resell , manufacturing expansion, retail
development an d quality of life improvements. The redevelopment of the north entry into
Kennedale (Oak Crest area) continues. A master plan has been adopted. L i nk Street to
Kennedale Parkway was opened in 2015 and extension was opened in October 2016 . The
improved access has led to the development of a Popeye ’s and Burger King which
opened in 2015 . McDonald’s opened in the Oak Crest area in October 2016 . A hotel site
was recently sold to a hotel developer. The KEDC is also working with property owners
in the area to develop their land. The Town Center has completed a spec building, along
with the openings of a martial arts studio, electric supply store, Dickie’s, and new bar in
2017 . The KEDC anticipates the main building will be fully rented out by year end.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 13
Accounting System and Budgetary Control . The City’s accounting records for general
government operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis, with the revenues
being recorded when available and measurable and expenditures being recorded when the
services or goods are received and the liabilities incurred. Accounting records for the
City’s utilities are maintained on the accrual basis.
In developing and maintaining the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of the internal control structure. Internal accounting controls are designed to
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets
again st loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and (2) the reliability of financial
records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability of assets. The
concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should no t
exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the
City’s internal controls adequa tely safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of
proper recording of financial transactions.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Kennedale’s financial
planning and control. All departments of the City of Kennedale are requi red to submit
requests for appropriation to the City Manager on or before June of each year. These
requests are used to develop a proposed budget. The proposed budget is then presented to
the City Council for review i n or before August. The City Council is required to hold
public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget no later than
September 30, the close of the City of Kennedale’s fiscal year. The appropriated budget
is prepared by fund, function (e.g. public safety), and department (e .g. police). Transfer
of appropriations within a department and within funds may be made with approval from
the City Manager. Transfers between funds or additional appropriation require the
approval of the City Council. Budget -to -actual comparisons are pro vided in this report
for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been
adopted.
Long -Term Financial P lanning.
CURRENT YEAR PROJECTS
The City of Kennedale leverages its resources by working with TxDOT and Tarrant
Cou nty to enhance its tra nsportation network . R oad projects are funded by the City
purchasing road material , and the Tarrant County Precinct 2 road crews building the
roadways. Opening Link Street has enhance d the opportunity for economic development
at the n orth entry to Kennedale (Oak Crest area) and the extension provide s access to the
new McDonald’s . The City plans to be active partners when possible to continue
development.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 14
An important element of the City’s strategic plan – Imagine Kennedale 2015 was to close
the racetracks and convert the property to residential use. The City began that process
with an update of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City created a Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) to fund off -site infrastructure improvements, namely the
extension of water and sewer service, reconstruction of New Hope Road, and the addition
of hike and bike trails alon g Kennedale Branch . TIRZ participation agreements with
Tarrant County, Tarrant College District, and the Tarrant County Health District were
completed in 2013 . The City has a development agreement for to convert racetrack
property . A water and sewer study to plan for the extension of the utility services is
complete. One track remains open and will require City Council action. The site is
identified in the park master plan as a future community park.
Council, Board, and staff activities are guided by the City’s strategic plan – Imagine
Kennedale 2015 – and t he recently adopted Comprehensive L and Use Plan. These plans
call for the creation of residential areas on the southwest portion of Kennedale. The
TIRZ, noted earlier, will guide this effort. Redevelopment of Oak Crest will be a long -
term effort , and it too is underway. Restoration of Village Creek as a park and water
quality feature wi ll consume staff time and resources for many years to come. Village
Creek will requ ire the assistance of the City o f Arlington, the Corps of Engineers, the
Trinity River Authority (TRA), the Tarrant Regional Water District, the University of
Texas at Arlin gton (UTA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and the Texas Water Development
Board (TWDB). F lood control and water quality planning activity may be essential to the
City’s efforts to encourage closure of a portion or all of the salvage yards located in the
Village Creek floodplain.
The Asset Management Plan will be used to guide future council policy discussions.
FUTURE PROJECTS
Beyond physical improvements in Kennedale, there will contin ue to be a focus on
operational effic iencies and strategic planning.
The unified development code was adopted in mid -2016 and will need revisions as it is
implemented. The City C ouncil will initiate an update the City’s strategic plan .
RELEVANT FINANCI AL POLICIE S
The city will work towards controlling expenditures and exploring new revenue
opportunity to grow the general fund balance. Efforts have been put into place to restore
net working capital in the water and sewer fund. The City did receive a bon d rating
upgrade from Standard & Poor’s to “AA -“ from “A+” following closing of the previous
fiscal year.

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada
(GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achi evement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to
the City of Kennedale for its CAFR for the fisc al year ended September 30, 201 6 . This
was the thirteen th consecutive year that the government has achieved this prestigious
award. In order to be awarded a Cer tificate of Achievement, a government unit must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial
report. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a p eriod of one year only. We believe our
current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements
and we may submit it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments. The preparation of this rep ort would not have been possible without
the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the Finance Department and our
independent auditors. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to those persons
who have made possible the publicat ion of this report. We would also like to thank the
mayor and the members of the City Council for their support in planning and conducting
the financial operations of the City.
Respectfully Submitted,

Auditor s ’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits con tained in Government Auditing Standards ,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstat ement.

REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 21
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audi t procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness o f accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and app ropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activiti es, the disc retely
presented component unit , each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Kennedale , as of September 30, 201 7 , and the respective changes in financial position , and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting princip les generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis , budgetary comparison and pension information on pages 4
through 12 and 4 7 through 50 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowl edge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any ass urance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Kennedale’s basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, schedules, and statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial state ments.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 22
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial stateme nts. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and oth er records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the combini ng and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing proce dures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we ha ve also issued o ur report date March
15, 2018 , on our consideration of the City of Kennedale’s internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal con trol
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government A uditing Standards in considering City of Kennedale’s

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Kennedale, Texas , we offer readers of the City of Kennedale financial
statements, this narrative overview, and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Kennedale for
the fiscal year en ded September 30, 2017 . We encourage readers to consider the information presented
here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal and the
accompanying basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflow of resources for the City of Kennedale exceeded its
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year
by $40,389,147 . Of this amount, $2,101,968 (unrestricted n et p osition ) may be used
to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City of Kennedale’s change in n et p osition was an in crease of $1,541,802 . This
in crease is largely due to significant purchased water and sewer expenditures, as well
as delayed water and sewer maintenance expenditures. In addition, lower than
anticipated property tax revenues were offset by savings in public safet y
compensation due to staff turnover.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Kennedale ’s governmental funds
reported combined en ding fund balances of $2,433,043 , a n increase of $62,449 in
comparison with the p r ior year. Approximately, 61.8% of this amount, $1,503,641 is
availabl e for spending at the City ’s discretion (un assigned fund balance).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the un assign ed fund balance for the General
Fund was $2,264,414 or 30.0 % of total General Fund expenditures.
OV ERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Kennedale, Texas ’
basic financial statements. City of Kennedale ’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)
government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financ ial
statements.
Government -wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Kennedale ’s finances, in a manner similar to a
private -sector business.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 25
The statement of n et p osition presents information on all of the City of Kennedale ’s assets , liabilities
and deferred inflows/outflows of resources , with the difference between the m reported as n et p osition .
Over time, increases or decreases in net p osition may serve a s a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City of Kennedale is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s n et p osition changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net p osition are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in these statem ents for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both the statement of net
p osition and the statement of activities are prepared utilizing the full accrual basi s of accounting.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, the primary government is divided into
two kinds of activities:
• Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported here,
including administrative, police, fire, municipal court, com munity development,
streets , parks, senior citizen center and library. Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise
fees, license and permit fees finance most of these activities.
• Business -type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of
the cost of certain services it provides. The City’s water and wastewater system ,
storm drain system and solid waste system are report ed here.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Kennedale itself (known as the
primary government), but also a legally separate economic development corporation. Financial
information for this component unit is reported sepa rately from the financial information presented for
the primary government itself.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or obj ectives. City of Kennedale , like
other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Kennedale can be divided into two
categories: governmenta l funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as balances of spendable resources available at the
end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government ’s near -term financing
requirements.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 26
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presen ted for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long -term impact of the government’s near -term financing
decision s . Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fu nd statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Kennedale maintains 9 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately
in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund , Debt Service Fund , and TIRZ #1 N ew
Hope Fund , which are considered to be major fund s . Data from the other 6 governmental funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Kennedale adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund and Debt Service
Fund. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for the General Fund and the Debt Service
Fund to demonstrate co mpliance with the budget.
Proprietary funds. The City charges customers for the services it provides, whether to outside
customers or to other units within the City. These services are generally reported in proprietary funds.
Proprietary funds are reporte d in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net
Position and the Statement of Activities. There is one type of proprietary fund: Enterprise Fund. The
City’s Enterprise Fund is identical to the business -type activities that are re ported in the government -wide
statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds.
The City of Kennedale maintains one individual Enterprise Fund to account for its water and
wastewater, and solid waste. This fund is considered to be a major fund of the City.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the financial statements can be found in the financial section.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor
governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements.

GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, over time n et position may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. In the case of the City of Kennedale , assets and deferred outflows of resources exc eeded
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $40,389,147 at the close of the m ost recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of t h e City’s n et position ($37,601,214 o r 93.1%) reflects its investment in
capital assets (e.g. land, building, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those
assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets a re not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its
capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this
debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themse lves cannot be used to liquidate
these liabilities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
Governmental Funds – The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near -
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
City’s financing requirements. In particular, un assign ed fund balances may serve as a useful measure of
a government’s net resources at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $2,433,043 . $30,520 of this total is nonspendable to indicate the amount cannot be spent and
$425,432 is restricted to indicate cons traints placed on the use of the resources either externally imposed
by creditors, by laws or regulations of other governments imposed or imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation . The remaining balance of $1,503,641 constitutes
un assigned fund balance .
Of the $2,433,043 ending fund balance, $722,647 is accounted for in non -major governmental funds.
The Ge neral Fund balance is $2,471,169 at year end – a decrease of $109,128 . This decrease was
created primarily by the reduction of most one -time funding sources.
In the General Fund, the City budgeted for a decrease of fund balance in the amount of $951,860 . The
fund balance in th e General Fund decreased by $109,128 , or 4.2% during the current fiscal year.
Significant revenue and expenditure increases and decreases were in the following areas :
• Property taxes
• Licenses and permits
• Intergovernmental revenues
• Charges for services
• Public safety
• Public works
• Capital outlay
The Debt Service F und balance increased by $30,120 to $41,981 at year end . This increase is primarily
the result of increased property tax revenue . The Capital Projects F und bala nce increased by $4,907 to
$43,165 . The c apital outlay expenditures related to projects including grant projects equaled revenue and
a transfer fr om the General Fund. The TIRZ #1 New Hope Fund had a deficit fund balance of $802,754 .
This deficit was a result of the cap ital improvement expenditures within the TIRZ. It is anticipated that
the deficit will be funded by future restricted incremental property tax revenue.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 30

The City Council increased the tax rate by one cent to $7.77500 per $100 assessed valuation for the new
fiscal year. With the increase, the city was able to fund the first small cost of living adjustment for city
staff in a number of years. Even with the r ate increase and appreciating property values, fund balance for
the General Fund was still budgeted to decrease by $65,000. This is largely due to increased proportion
of the debt service rate to the M&O rate.
In addition, City Council approved lowering the bases rate for water and sewer services for the coming
year. The City is currently exploring long term solutions for the water and sewer fund. Cash funded
capital projects were largely put on hold for the coming year, as the City examines debt opportun ities.
Development continues within the city, with new subdivisions continuing construction. In addition, a
new Hilton branded hotel is set to open within city limits. The city continues to develop the town center,
with full occupancy of current building s possible within the fiscal year. New city management continues
to explore expanded revenue streams for the city.

Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures.However,in the statement of activities
the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense.This is the amount by which capital outlay in the current period exceeded depreciation
expense.
Capital outlay 844,966

The net effect of various transactions involving capital assets (i.e.,sales,trade-ins,and
donations) is to decrease net position.20,802)(
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds. 63,690)(
Governmental funds report all payments to pension benefits as expenditures.However,in the
government-wide statement of activities the pension expense is actuarially determined.This
amount is the change in the following items:
Net pension liability 53,175
Deferred outflow related to pensions 154,862)(
Deferred inflow related to pensions 466
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources;therefore,they are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.This amount
reflects the change in the accrued liability for compensated absences.
Compensated absences 73,829
Accrued interest 3,301
Amortization of deferred loss on refunding bonds 11,381)(
Amortization of premium on bond issuance 8,380
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g.,bonds)provides current financial resources to governmental
funds,while repayment of the principal long-term debt consumes the current financial resources
of governmental funds.Neither transaction,however,has any effect on net position.Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums,discounts,and similar items when debt is first
issued,whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.This
amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.

CITY OF KENNEDALE, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
City of Kennedale, Texas (the “C ity”) was incorporated in 1947. The City operates as a home -rule
City under a council -manager form of government and provides t he following service s as authorized
by its charter: police, fire, planning, zoning and code enforcement, public works, streets, parks and
recreation, public library, ambulance, water and sewer utilities and ge neral administrative services.
Sanitation colle ction services are provided through a private contractor.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for local governments. Generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) for local governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB ). The following is a summary of the more significant
ac counting and reporting policies:
A. Reporting Entity
The accompanying financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for
which the City is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although
legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City ’s operations and are appropriately
presented as f unds of the primary government. Discretely presented component units, on the
other hand, are reported in a separate column in the government -wide financial state ments to
emphasize it i s legally separate from the City .
Discretely Presented Component Unit : The Kennedale Economic Development Corporation
(“KEDC”). KEDC is a legally separate entity incorporated on December 2, 1996. The
Corporation’s purpose is to pr omote economic development within the City, including, but not
limited to, construction, operation and administration, as permitted by Section 4B of the Act, as
amended. The City Council appoints the governing board for this entity and is able to impose it s
will upon the Corporation . KEDC is presented as a governmental fund type.
A s eparate ly issued financial report is available for the Kennedale Economic Development
Corporation. This report may be obtained by contacting the following office.

Kennedale, Texas 76060
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 45
Blended Component Unit : On July 12 , 2012, the City Council adopted an Ordinance designating
an area Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) #1 New Hope . The purpose for creation of the
TIRZ was to finance and make certain public improvements, under the authority of the Tax
Increment Financing Act. For reporting purposes, the TIRZ is a blended component unit. The
Council appoints a majority of the TIRZ board members, and a pproves recommendations from
the Board in regards to administration, management, and operation of the TIRZ. The TIRZ is
reported as a governmental fund and separate financial reports are available from the City’s
finance department.
B. Government -wide and Fu nd Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of n et p osition and the statement
of activities) report inform ation on all of the activities of the primary government and its
component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenue, are rep orted separately from business -type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported
separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is
fi nancially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenue. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segme nt. Certain indirect costs have been included as part
of the program expenses reported for the various functional activities. Program revenue includes
1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services,
or pri vileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenue a re reported instead as
general revenue.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and propri etary funds. Major
individual G overnmental F unds and major individual Enterprise Funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financi al statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the propriet ary fu nd financial
statements. Revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenue
in the year for which they are levied. Grants and simi lar items are recognized as revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 46
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual b asis of accounting. Revenue is recognized as soon
as it is both measurable and available. Revenue is considered to be available when it is
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period. For this pu rpose, the government considers revenue to be available if collected within 60
days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability
is incurre d, as under 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 taxes, franchise taxes, sales taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be suscepti ble to accrual and so have been recognized as revenue of the
current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only
when cash is received by the City.
The City reports the following major governmental fund s :
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources accumulated and payments
made for principal and interest on long -term general obligation debt of governmental
funds.
The TI RZ #1 (New Hope) Fund is used to account for the construction of various
capital improvements wi th in the TIRZ that will be funded with the incremental
prope rty tax revenue within the TIRZ area.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
The Water and Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities necessary for the
provision of water and wast ewater services.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the govern ment -wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s water and
wastewater function and various othe r function s of the government. Elimination of these charges
would distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as
general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 47
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connec tion with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the City’s Enterprise Fund are charges to cu stomers for sales and
services. Operating expenses for the Enterprise Fund include cost of sales and services,
admi nistrative expenses, and d epreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenue and expenses.
D. Assets, Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources, Liabilities and Net Position /Fund
Balance
Deposits and Investments
The City pools substantially all cash and investments except for separate cash and investment
accounts, which are maintained in accordance with legal restrictions.
Investments in government pools are recorded at amortized cost. All other investments are
recorded at fair value. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be
exchanged in a current traction between willing parties.
For purpose of presenting the proprietary fund cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents
includes demand deposits and investments with a maturity date within three months of the date
acquired by the City.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the noncurrent portio n of
interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other
funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type
activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
Property taxes attach as an enforcea ble lien on property as of October 1. Taxes are levied each
October 1 and are due and payable on or before January 31 of the following year. All unpaid
taxes become delinquent February 1 of the following year. The Tarrant County Tax
Assessor/Collector bill s and coll ects the City’s property taxes. Any uncollected property taxes as
of September 30, which are not expected to be collected within 60 days, are recorded as taxes
receivable and deferred revenue.
As a City that operates under a home -rule charter, t he City has a tax rate limitation of $2.50 per
$100 assessed valuation. For the year ended September 30, 2017 , the City had a tax rate of
$0 .7 67 486 per $100 of which $0 .585101 was alloca ted for general government and $0 .182385
was allocated for payment of principal and interest on general long -term debt.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 48
Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued using the average cost method. Inventories of governmental funds are
recor ded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government -wid e and fund financial statements. The cost
of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when
purchased.
Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Enterprise Fund bonds and certain resources set aside for their repayment
are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable
bond covenants.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure (e.g. roads, bridges,
sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type
activities columns in the governm ent -wide financial statements. The City defines capital assets
as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 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, which is the
price that would be paid to acquire an asset with equivalen t service potential at the acquisition
date.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight -li ne method over the following
useful lives:
Assets Years
Plants and buildings 20
Machinery and equipment 4 - 10
Infrastructure (streets and drainage)35 - 125
Other structures 50
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 49
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred outflows of resources, represents 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. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category.
• Deferred losses on bond refunding – A deferred loss on refunding results from the
difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount
is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
• Pension contributions aft er measurement date – These contributions are deferred and
recognized in the following fiscal year.
• Changes in actuarial assumptions related to the pension plan – This difference is deferred
and recognized over the estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as
of the measurement date.
• Difference in projected and actual earnings on pension assets – This difference is
deferred and amortized over a closed five year period.
• Difference in expected and actual pension experience – This difference is deferred and
recognized over the estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of
the measurement date.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate se ction for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue ) until that time.
The City has only one type of item that qualifies for reporting in this category. The difference in
expected and actual pension experience is deferred and recognized over the estimated average
remaining lives of all members determined as of the measurement date.
Compensated Absences
Vacation is earned in varying amounts up to a maximum of 160 hours per year for 40 -hour week
personnel with 6 or more years of service. Vacation leave does not accumulate from one year to
the next for amoun ts over 160 hours.
40 -hour per week personnel accrues one -half working day (4 hours) of sick leave for each full
month of employment in the calendar year. Upon separation from employment, a permanent
employee who has completed six months of employment is entitled to be paid the amount of
salary for the employee’s accumulated sick leave but not to exceed 60 hours for 40 -hour per
week employees.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 50
All unused vested vacation and sick leave is accrued when incurred in the government -wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental
funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and
retirements.
Long -term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements and prop rietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long -term debt and other long -term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
Net Position . Bond pr emiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds
using the straight -line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium
or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed during the period of issuance .
In the fu nd financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is report ed as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported
as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are rep orted as other financing uses.
Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as
debt service expenditures.
Pensions
For purpos es 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 additions to/deductions
from TMRS’s Fiduciary Net Position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by TMRS. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that
compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contribut ions are legal ly due. Benefit
payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Net Position
Net Position represent s the difference between assets , deferred inflows/outflows of resources and
liabilities. Net invest ment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition,
construction or improvement of those assets , and adding back unspent proceeds . Net p osition is
reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling
legislation adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or
laws or regulations of other governments.
Fund Balance
The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that
comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor
constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the resp ective governmental funds can
be spent.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 51
The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:
• Nonspendable: This classification includes a mounts that cannot be spent because they are
either (a) not in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be
maintained intact. Nonspendable items are not expected to be converted to cash or are not
expected to be converted to cash within the next year.
• Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which cons traints have been placed
on the use of the resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or (b) imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Committe d: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific
purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by board resolution of the city council, the
City’s highest level of decision making authority. These amounts cannot be used for any
other p urpose unless the city council removes or changes the specified use by taking the
same type of action that was employed when the funds were initially committed. This
classification also includes contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources
have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
• Assigned: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to
be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. T h e city council
has by resolution authorized the city manager and finance director to assign fund balance.
The council may also assign fund balance. Unlike commitments, assignments generally
only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be
taken for the removal of an assignment.
• Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General Fund.
The unassigned classification also includes negative residual fund balance of any other
governmental fund that cannot be eliminated by offsetting of assigned fund balance
amounts.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., res tricted
bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as
restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government -wide and proprietary
fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the
resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted – net position
to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 52
Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order
to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund
balance in the governme ntal fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the
order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider
restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unres tricted
fund balance. Further, when components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same
purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Deficit Fund Balance
At year -end the TIRZ #1 New Hope Fund had a deficit fund balance of $802,754 . It is
anticipated that this deficit fund balance will be funded with incremental property tax revenue
within the TIRZ in subsequent years.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 53
2. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACTIVITIES
Deposits and Investments
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in
the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies.
Among other things, it requires the City to adopt, implement, and publicize an in vestment policy.
That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio
diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6)
maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar -weighted
maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and
capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. Statutes au thorize the City
to invest in (1) obligations of the U. S. Treasury, certain U. S. Agencies, and the State of Texas; (2)
certificates of deposit, (3) certain municipal securities, (4) money market savings accounts, (5)
repurchase agreements, (6) bankers’ a cceptances, (7) Mutual Funds, (8) Investment pools, (9)
guaranteed investment contracts, and (10) common trust funds. The Act also requires the City to
have independent auditors perform test procedures related to investment practices as provided by the
Act . The City is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Act and with local policies.
In compliance with the Public Funds Investment Act, the City has adopted a deposit and investment
policy. That policy does address the following risks:
a. Custodial Credit Risk: Deposits: In the case of deposits, this is the risk that, in the
event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned to it. State
statutes require that all deposits in financial institutions be fully collateralized by U.S.
Government obligations or its agencies and instrumentalities or direct obligations of
Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities that have a fair value of not less than the
principal amount of deposits. As of September 30, 2017 , the City’s deposit balance
was collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution in the
City’s name or covered by FDIC insurance.
b. b. Credit Risk: It is the City’s policy to limit investm ents to investment types with
an investment quality rating no lower than AAA or AAA -m or an equivalent rating by
at least one nationally recognized rating service or no lower than investment grade by
at least one nationally recognized rating service with a weighted average maturity no
greater than 90 days. The City’s investments were rated AAAm by Standard and
Poor’s Investors Services.
c. Interest Rate Risk: In accordance with the City’s investment policy, the City
manages its exposure to declines in fair va lues by limiting the weighted average
maturity of its investment portfolio to 90 days or less, dependent on market
conditions.
d. Concentration of Credit Risk: The government’s investment policy states the
maximum percentage allowed for each different invest ment instrument that can be
used to make up the portfolio.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 54
At September 30, 2017 , the primary government’s investments consisted of:
Carrying
Value
TexStar 330,345 $
Texas Term 31,720
TexPool 1,978,677
2,340,742 $
During the fiscal year, the City manag ed the investments of the KEDC. The KEDC investments are
categorized in the same manner as the City ’s and consist of TexPool with a carrying value of
$29,735 .
The Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds
Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code (the “Act”), provide for the creation
of public funds investment pools, such as Texas Short -term Reserve Fund (“TexStar”), Texas Local
Government Investment Pool (TexPool), and TexasTerm, through wh ich political subdivisions and
other entities may invest public funds.
TexStar, TexPool, and TexasTERM have a redemption notice period of one day and may redeem
daily. The investment pool’s authority may only impose restrictions on redemptions in the even t of a
general suspension of trading on major securities markets, general banking moratorium or national
state of emergency that affects the pool’s liquidity.

Governmental Activities Business-type Activities
General obligation bonds are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 related
to arbitrage and interest income tax regulations under those provisions.
The various bond obligations contain certain financial limitations and restricti ons. The ordinances
authorizing the issuance of certificates of obligation bonds created an interest and sinking fund
(general debt service fund). The ordinances require the City to ascertain a rate and amount of tax
which will be sufficient to pay interes t as it comes due and provide a reserve fund which is adequate
to meet principal as it matures. The City is in compliance with all such significant financial
restrictions.
In prior years, the City defeased certain bonds by placing the proceeds of new bon ds in an
irrevocable trust to provide all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust
accounts and the defeased bonds are not included in the City’s financial statements. As of September
30, 2017, the City does not have any bonds considered defeased.

Defined Benefi t Pension Policies
Plan Description
The City of Kennedale participates as one of 8 72 plans in the nontraditional, joint contributory,
hybrid defined benefit pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS). TMRS is an agency created by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the
TMRS Act, Subtitle G , Title 8, Texas Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agency multiple -
employer retirement system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places
the general administration and management of the System with a six -member Board of Trustees.
Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not
fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS’s defined benefit pension plan is a tax -qualified plan
under Sections 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMR S issues a publicly available
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that can be obtained at www.tmrs.org .
All eligible employees of the City are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death be nefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the
governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS. At
retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee’s contributions, with interest, and
the City -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may
choose to receive their retirement benefit in over of seven payments options. Members may also
choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distrib ution in an amount equal to
12, 24, or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member’s deposits and interest.
Beginning in 2006 , the City granted an annually repeating (automatic) basis a monetary credit referred
to as an updated service credit (USC) which is a theoretical amount which takes into account salary
increases or plan improvements. If at any time during their career an employee earns a USC, this
amount remains in their account earning interest at 5% until retirement. At retireme nt, the benefit is
calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer
match plus employer -financed monetary credits, such as USC, with interest were used to purchase an
annuity. Additionally, initiated in 20 06 , the City provided on an annually repeating (automatic) basis
cost of living adjustments (COLA) for retirees equal to a percentage of the change in the consumer
price index (CPI).
A summary of plan provisions for the City are as follows:
Employee deposit rate 7%
Matching ratio (City to employee)2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5
Service retirement eligibility 20 years to any age,
5 years at age 60 and above
Updated service credit 100% Repeating

Employees covered by benefit terms
At the December 31, 2016 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered
by the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 32
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 97
Active employees 72
201
Contributions
The contribution rates fo r employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross
earnings, and the City matching percentages are with 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the
governing body of the city. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contributions rate for each city
is determined annually by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits
earned by employees during the year, with an additional am ount to finance any unfunded accrued
liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the
fiscal year. The contrib ution rates for the City were 14.22 % and 1 4 .31 % in calendar years 2016 and
201 7 , respec tively. The City’s contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2017 , were
$560,038 , and were equal to the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The City’s Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2016 and the Total
Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions
The Total Pension Li ability in the December 31, 2016 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall payroll growth 3.0% per year
Investment rate of return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment
expense, including inflation
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 64
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
and beneficiaries were based on the gender -distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table s
with Blue Coll ar Adjustment , with male rates multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by
103%. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future
mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the gender -distinct RP2000 Combi ned Healthy
Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment are used with males rates multiplied by 109% and
female rates multiplied by 103% with a 3 -year set -forward for both males and females. In addition, a
3% minimum mortality rate is applied to reflect t he impairment for younger members who become
disabled. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future
mortality improvements subject to the 3% floor.
Actuarial assumptio ns used in the December 31, 2016 valuation we re based on the results of
actuarial experience studies. The experience study in TMRS was for the period December 31, 2010
through December 31, 201 4 . Healthy post -retirement mortality rates and annuity purchase rates were
updated based on a Mortality Exper ience Investigation Study covering the 2009 through 2011, and
the dated December 31, 2013. These assumptions were first used in the December 31, 2013
valuation, along with a change to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. Assumptions
are review ed annually. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both
capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short -term and long -
term funding needs of TMRS.
The long -term expected rate of return o n pension plan investments was determined using a building -
block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class .
These ranges are combined to produce the long -term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation. In determining their best estimate of a recommend ed investment return assumption under
the various alternative asset allocation portfolios, GRS focused on the area between (1) arithmetic
mean (aggressive) without an adjustment for time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean
(conservative) with an adju stment for time (aggressive). The target allocation and best estimates of
arithmetic real rates return for each major assets class in fiscal year 2017 are summarized in the
following table:
Target Long-Term Expected Real
Asset Class Allocation Rate of Return (Arithmetic)
Domestic Equity 17.5%4.55%
International Equity 17.5%6.35%

REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 65
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75 %. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be
made at the rates specified in statue. Based on that assumption, the pension plan’s Fiduciary Net
Position was projected to be available t o make all projected future benefit payments of current active
and inactive employees. Therefore, the long -term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension
Liabi lity.

Other Postemployment Benefits
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
The City also participates in the cost sharing multiple -employer defined benefit group -term life
insurance plan operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the
Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The City elected, by ordinance, to provide group -term
life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees . The City may terminate coverage
under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of
any year to be effective the following January 1.
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the
employee’s annual salary (calculated based on the employee’s actual earnings, for the 12 -month
period preceding the month o f death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is an
“other postemployment benefit,” or OPEB.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 67
The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one -year term life insurance. The
funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all
death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance
during employees’ entire careers.
Contributions
The City’s contributions to the TMRS SDBF for the years ended 2017 , 201 6 and 201 5 were $6,2 71 ,
$6,292 and $5,524 , respectively, which equaled the required contributions each year.

proposed bud get for the fiscal year beginning on the f ollowing October 1. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted at which all interested persons’ comments concerning the
budget are heard.
3. The budget is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance prior
to the beginning of the fiscal year.
4. The City Manager has the authority to transfer appropriation balances from one
expenditure account to another such as from salarie s to maintenance within a single fund
as well as transfer appropriations between departments . The City Council, however,
must approve any transfer of unencumbered appropriation balances or portions thereof
from one fund to another as well as any increases in fund appropriations. At the end of
the fiscal year, all appropriations lapse.
5. Annual budgets are only adopted for the General and Debt Service Funds. These budgets
are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S ’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT
AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council of the
City of Kennedale , Texas
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States , the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities , each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Kennedale , Texas , as of and for the year ended September 30, 201 7 , and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise City of Kennedale , Texas’ basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated March 15, 2018 .
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and perf orming our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Kennedale ,
Texas’ internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinio n on the effectiveness of City of Kennedale , Texas’ internal
control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Kennedale , Texas’
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A
significant deficienc y is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe
than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
78
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 105
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited p urpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Kennedale , Texas’ financial
statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the d etermination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an
opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncomp liance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards .
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 106
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council of the
City of Kennedale , Texas
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Kennedale , Texas as of and for t he year
ended September 30, 201 7 , and have issued our report thereon dated March 15, 2018 . Professional
standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated July 5, 2017 , our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have
been prepared by management with your oversight are pr esented fairly, in all material respects, in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of
the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our respon sibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to
obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes co nsideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over
financ ial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely
for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such
internal control.
We are also responsible for comm unicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our
professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process.
However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying oth er matters to
communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously
communicated to you.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 107

Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, and, as appropriate, our firm have complied with all
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
As a part of the engagement we assisted in preparing the financial statements, and related notes to
the fi nancial statements of the City in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles based
on information provided by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government
Auditing Standards and such services were not conducted in accordance with Government Auditing
Services.
In order to ensure we maintain our independence for performing these nonaudit services certain
safeguards were applied to this engagement. Management assumed responsibi lity for the financial statements
and related notes to the financial statements and any other nonaudit services we provided. Management
acknowledged in the management representation letter our assistance with the preparation of the financial
statements and related notes to the financial statements and that these items were reviewed and approved prior
to their issuance and accepted responsibility for them. Further, the nonaudit services were oversaw by an
individual within management that has the suitable sk ill, knowledge, or experience; evaluated the adequacy
and results of the services; and accepted responsibility for them.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary
of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in Note I to the financial statements.
No matters have come to our attention that would re quire us, under professional standards, to inform you
about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant
accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authorita tive guidance
or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and
are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and
experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting
estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of
the possibility that future events affecting the m may differ markedly from management’s current
judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:
Management’s estimate of the useful lives of capital assets is based on the expected lifespan of the
asset in accordance with standard guidelines. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to
develop the estimate of useful lives in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable o pinion units.
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 108

Management’s estimate of the net pension liability is based on actuarial assumptions which are
determined by the demographics of the plan and future projections that the actuarial makes based on
historical information of the plan and the inv estment market. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the net pension liability and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts is based on historical
collection rates. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates listed above
in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the fi nancial statements taken as a whole.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the
City’s financial statements relate to the net pensi on liability. The disclosures in the financial statements
are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance
of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known
and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and
communi cate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to
also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes
of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each
applicable opinion unit. Management has corrected all identified misstatements.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures.
None of the misstatements identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by
management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a
whole or applicable opinion units.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional stand ards define a disagreement with management as a
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, which could be significant to the City ’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No
such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the
managem ent representation letter dated March 15, 2018.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations
with other accou ntants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety
of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and
regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of
material miss tatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City ’s
auditors.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of
the City of Kennedale , Texas and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

www.parktrust.org/kids-to-parks-day
Organized by the National Park Trust in 2011, Kids to Parks Day is a nationwide celebration of the great
outdoors designed to connect kids and families with their local, state, and national parks and public lands.
By discovering and exploring our public lands, kids across the country can learn about park stewardship,
outdoor recreation, STEM, and the history of our country. In addition, by teaching our kids to appreciate
and enjoy our public lands, we can foster future outdoor enthusiasts and create the next generation of
park stewards and caretakers of these important places. Because kids need parks – and parks need kids!
Each year in preparation for Kids to Parks Day, which is always hosted on the third Saturday of May, NPT
works with cities and towns, teachers, families, park and public lands officials and numerous partners
across the country to invite kids of all ages to create their own adventures at one of the thousands of park
events and programs featured on our site.
The City of Kennedale's associated event is KIDFISH at Sonora Park, on Saturday, May 19, from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. www.cityofkennedale.com/kidfish

Brady Olsen, Finance Director
III. Summary:
Overview of the City's revenues and expenditures for all funds compared to budget and previous year.
For this month's report, the FY16-17 actuals are updated with audited figures. Highlights of differences
are included in the CAFR Work Session item. Sales tax revenue was higher than normal for the month,
largely due to a one-time payment from a single taxpayer.
As you might notice, the current month's figures are not all in line with those of the previous year. Water &
Sewer Revenue, Stormwater Revenue, and EDC Revenue and Expenditures are all examples of this.
Due to recent turnover, staff was unable to complete all of the usual end-of-month closing entries prior to
this meeting but aim to be caught up by the March report that will be presented at the next regular
meeting.

Budget Amendment
Monthly Information
1.Paid all owed for roofing damage, reducing total cash to $400,000. TML paid actual cost of repair, plus some depreciation. With depreciation
difference and monthly revenue, available cash actually increased for the month, although about $66,500 is committed to parking lot repair.
2. $31,808 Sales Tax higher than what we would usually expect in January by about $5,000--largely in General Services & Wholesale
3. Including modified copies of previous monthly reports from Sept-Dec of 2017. When we received the insurance pre-payment in September,
the cash was inaccurately reported as 'available cash.'
4. Added additional color formatting to the cash balance page. Similar colors match with similar purposes.
5. EDC continues to explore findings tenants to fill out the town center.

I. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Brian Johnson called the meeting to order at 6:34 p.m.
II. WORK SESSION
A. Discuss and provide staff direction regarding the Fiscal YTD 2018 Budget Analysis and
potential amendments to the FY2018 Adopted Budget
Finance Director Brady Olsen provided a n overview of the fund accounting system that the
City of Kennedale’s budget is based on, with related revenue and expenses grouped . He
added that budget amendments were typically done when revenue or expenditures do not
match projections, offering the revenue example of the FY18 Budget including the
assumption of the $0.50 increase in Stormwater Drainage Fees, which was not approved
by Council ; and the expenditure examples of unexpected legal fees and staff turnover.
Mayor Pro Tem Joplin stated that she felt a pay increase for the Fire Department was
needed and that she would propose a budget amendment for that purpose in an attempt
to solve the staffing problems. City Manager George Campbell noted that the preliminary
results of the salar y and climate survey that he was assessing for both Police and Fire
showed that the salary disparity (in comparison to “market value”) was actually greater in
the Police Department (which has not suffered nearly as many staffing issues) than in the
Fire De partment, indicating that salary adjustments alone might not remedy the turnover
issue, and further information was needed before making those decisions.
Public Works Director Larry Ledbetter answered questions regarding the reductions that
staff continues to make in I&I (Inflow and Infiltration) in the wastewater system, and how
that reduce s treatment costs. He also discussed the proposed 44 th Annual CDBG Project,
involving replacing the sewer line on Danny Drive, and stated that it would be prese nted to
Council at their next meeting , but that the funding would be in the FY19 budget .
Olsen provided a summary o f current fund balances and stated that there were no
departments that were clear outliers regarding spending projections, but that the wate r
and sewer fund had spent a higher percentage than at this point last FY. He added that
responses to Mayor Pro Tem Joplin’s suggestions were in the packet in memo form.
Joplin stated that she felt there were several items included in the Adopted Budget th at
should not be purchased. City Manager Campbell stated that staff could simply take
direction from Council on those smaller items rather than formally amending the budget.
He added that the fund overspending triggers an amendment ; and if transfers need t o be

made between funds, that Council action w ould be required . Councilmember Gilley stated
that his focus was to avoid a deficit budget year.
Council directed staff to add discussion of the proposed issuance of the ~$4 Million
Certificate of Obligation and the related projects to a future agenda.
Councilmember Gilley stated his desire to see Economic Development Corporation (EDC)
financial and activity reports as standing items on upcoming City Council agendas.
After some discussion of travel spending, Mayor Johnson noted that he had noted the
Council’s will to cut travel costs, but still felt NLC was an important resource, and would be
spending his own money to attend this year. Olson took the opportunity to applaud
Department Heads for their focused e fforts on cutting costs in this budget cycle.
B. Discuss and provide staff direction regarding revenues and expenses of the Water Fund
for FY2018 and potential amendments to the Water and Wastewater Rate Schedules
Finance Director Brady Olsen stated that he had contacted the Public Utility Commission
(PUC) to receive a free rate study through the TRWA (Texas Rural Water Association),
and that after receiving that report, staff would have better information to provide
projections on rate adjustm ents’ potential effects on the Water and Sewer Fund.

$50,000, but that Mayor Pro Tem Joplin had proposed a limit of $10,000 instead. Ols e n
added that he would recommend adopting the current Purchasing Policy, unchanged,
n oting that the Cities of Burleson and Crowley do offer a lower limit of $25,000, but that he
was not aware of a comparable city with a limit as low as $10,000 . After some discussion,
Council agreed to amend the Purchasing Policy (Appendix A) to limit the a mount the City
Manager could authorize spending without City Council approval to $25,000.

REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 159
Staff Report to the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: March 19, 2018
Agenda Item No: REQUIRED APPROVAL ITEMS (CONSENT) - C.
I. Subject:
Consider approval of Ordinance 641, approving a tariff authorizing an annual Rate Review Mechanism
(“RRM”) as a substitution for the annual interim rate adjustment process defined by section 104.301 of the
Texas Utilities Code, and as negotiated between Atmos Energy and the Steering Committee of Cities
Served by Atmos
II. Originated by:
III. Summary:
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
The City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas Cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division
(“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Atmos
(“Cities”). In 2007, the Cities and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant
to Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a
GRIP filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a
substitute rate review process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future
filings under the GRIP statute.
Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The Ordinance that
resolved the Company’s application under the RRM Tariff in 2017 also terminated the existing RRM Tariff
and required a renegotiation of the terms of that tariff. Negotiations have taken place over the past
several months, and have resulted in a revised RRM Tariff that has been agreed to by the Company. The
Cities’ Executive Committee has recommended acceptance of the revised RRM Tariff, which is attached
to the Ordinance.
CITIES’ OBJECTION TO THE SECTION 104.301 GRIP PROCESS
Cities strongly opposed the GRIP process because it constitutes piecemeal rate-making by ignoring
declining expenses and increasing revenues and rewarding the Company for increasing capital
investment. The GRIP process does not allow any review of the reasonableness of capital investment
and does not allow cities to participate in the Railroad Commission’s review of annual GRIP filings or
recover their rate case expenses. The Railroad Commission undertakes a mere administrative review of
GRIP filings (instead of a full hearing) and rate increases go into effect without any material adjustments.
In the Steering Committee’s view, the GRIP process unfairly raises customers’ rates without any
regulatory oversight. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed for a more comprehensive rate review
and annual evaluation of expenses and revenues, as well as capital investment.
CHANGES TO THE RRM TARIFF
The RRM Tariff on which the 2017 rates were based allowed a rate of return on equity of 10.50%. The
revised RRM Tariff reduces that to 9.8%. The revised RRM Tariff also captures the reduction in federal
income tax rates from 35% to 21%, and should result in a rate reduction effective by mid-March, 2018.
Prior RRM tariffs allowed Cities only three months to review the Company’s filing. The new revised Tariff
expands that time period by two months. New applications by the Company should be made on or about
April 1 of each year, with new rates effective October 1. A rate order from the Railroad Commission in an
REGULAR MEETING 03.19.2018 CITY COUNCIL PACKET PAGE 160
Atmos Texas Pipeline rate case adopted the position of Cities with regard to incentive compensation
related to Atmos’ Shared Services Unit that reduced allowed expenses, and that reduced level of
expenses will be applicable under the new RRM Tariff.
EXPLANATION OF “BE IT ORDAINED” PARAGRAPHS
1. This section approves all findings in the Ordinance.
2. This section adopts the attached RRM Tariff and finds the adoption of the Tariff to be just, reasonable,
and in the public interest. The prior tariff expired by its own terms.
3. This section requires the Company to reimburse the City for expenses associated with adoption of the
Ordinance and RRM Tariff and in processing future applications pursuant to the Ordinance.
4. This section repeals any resolution or ordinance that is inconsistent with this Ordinance.
5. This section finds that the meeting was conducted in compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act,
Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.
6. This section is a savings clause, which provides that if any section is later found to be unconstitutional
or invalid, that finding shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.
This section further directs that the remaining provisions of the Ordinance are to be interpreted as if the
offending section or clause never existed.
7. This section provides for an effective date upon passage.
8. This section directs that a copy of the signed Ordinance be sent to a representative of the Company
and legal counsel for the Steering Committee.

RATE SCHEDULE: RRM – Rate Review Mechanism
APPLICABLE TO: ALL CITIES IN THE MID-TEX DIVISION AS IDENTIFIED IN EXHIBIT A TO
THIS RATE SCHEDULE
EFFECTIVE DATE:Bills Rendered on and after 04/01/2018 PAGE: 1
I. Applicability
Applicable to Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Transportation tariff customers
within the city limits of cities identified in Exhibit A that receive service from the Mid-Tex
Division of Atmos Energy Corporation (“Company”). This Rate Review Mechanism
(“RRM”) provides for an annual adjustment to the Company’s Rate Schedules R, C, I
and T (“Applicable Rate Schedules”). Rate calculations and adjustments required by
this tariff shall be determined on a System-Wide cost basis.
II. Definitions
“Test Period” is defined as the twelve months ending December 31 of each preceding
calendar year.
The “Effective Date” is the date that adjustments required by this tariff are applied to
customer bills. The annual Effective Date is October 1.
Unless otherwise provided in this tariff the term Final Order refers to the final order
issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas in GUD No. 10170 and elements of GUD
No. 10580 as specified in Section III below.
The term “System-Wide” means all incorporated and unincorporated areas served by
the Company.
“Review Period” is defined as the period from the Filing Date until the Effective Date.
The “Filing Date” is as early as practicable, but no later than April 1 of each year.
III. Calculation
The RRM shall calculate an annual, System-Wide cost of service (“COS”) that will be
used to adjust applicable rate schedules prospectively as of the Effective Date. The
Company may request recovery of its total cost of service but will include schedules
showing the computation of any adjustments. The annual cost of service will be
calculated according to the following formula:
COS = OM + DEP + RI + TAX + CD
Where:
OM = all reasonable and necessary operation and maintenance expenses from the
Test Period adjusted for known and measurable items and prepared

consistent with the rate making treatments approved in the Final Order.
Incentive compensation (Management Incentive Plan, Variable Pay Plan and
Long Term Incentive Plan) related to Atmos’ Shared Services Unit will be
applied consistent with treatment approved in GUD 10580. Additionally, O&M
adjustments will be incorporated and applied as modified by a final order, not
subject to appeal, issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas in subsequent
rate cases involving the Atmos Mid-Tex or West Texas divisions. Known and
measurable adjustments shall be limited to those changes that have occurred
prior to the Filing Date. OM may be adjusted for atypical and non-recurring
items. Shared Services allocation factors shall be recalculated each year
based on the latest component factors used during the Test Period, but the
methodology used will be that approved in the Final Order in GUD 10580.
DEP = depreciation expense calculated at depreciation rates approved by the Final
Order. Additionally, if depreciation rates are approved in a subsequent final
order, not subject to appeal, issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas for
the Mid-Tex division those rates would be applicable for subsequent RRM
filings.
RI = return on prudently incurred investment calculated as the Company's pretax
return multiplied by rate base at Test Period end. Rate base is prepared
consistent with the rate making treatments approved in the Final Order, and
as in GUD 10580 as specifically related to capitalized incentive compensation
(Management Incentive Plan, Variable Pay Plan and Long Term Incentive
Plan) for Atmos’ Shared Services Unit. However, no post Test Period
adjustments will be permitted. Additionally, adjustments will be incorporated
and applied as modified by a final order, not subject to appeal, issued by the
Railroad Commission of Texas in subsequent rate cases involving the Atmos
Mid-Tex or West Texas divisions. Pretax return is the Company's weighted
average cost of capital before income taxes. The Company's weighted
average cost of capital is calculated using the methodology from the Final
Order including the Company's actual capital structure and long term cost of
debt as of the Test Period end (adjusted for any known and measurable
changes that have occurred prior to the filing date) and the return on equity of
9.8%. However, in no event will the percentage of equity exceed 58%.
Regulatory adjustments due to prior regulatory rate base adjustment
disallowances will be maintained. Cash working capital will be calculated
using the lead/lag days approved in the Final Order. With respect to pension
and other postemployment benefits, the Company will record a regulatory
asset or liability for these costs until the amounts are included in the next
annual rate adjustment implemented under this tariff. Each year, the
Company’s filing under this Rider RRM will clearly state the level of pension

and other postemployment benefits recovered in rates.
TAX = income tax and taxes other than income tax from the Test Period adjusted for
known and measurable changes occurring after the Test Period and before
the Filing Date, and prepared consistent with the rate making treatments
approved in the Final Order. Atmos Energy shall comprehensively account
for, including establishing a regulatory liability to account for, any statutory
change in tax expense that is applicable to months during the Test Period in
the calculation to ensure recovery of tax expense under new and old income
tax rates .
CD = interest on customer deposits.
IV. Annual Rate Adjustment
The Company shall provide schedules and work papers supporting the Filing’s revenue
deficiency/sufficiency calculations using the methodology accepted in the Final Order.
The result shall be reflected in the proposed new rates to be established for the
effective period. The Revenue Requirement will be apportioned to customer classes in
the same manner that Company’s Revenue Requirement was apportioned in the Final
Order. For the Residential Class, 50% of the increase may be recovered in the
customer charge. However, the increase to the Residential customer charge shall not
exceed $0.60 per month in the initial filing and $0.70 per month in any subsequent year.
The remainder of the Residential Class increase not collected in the customer charge
will be recovered in the usage charge. For all other classes, the change in rates will be
apportioned between the customer charge and the usage charge, consistent with the
Final Order. Test Period billing determinants shall be adjusted and normalized
according to the methodology utilized in the Final Order.
V. Filing
The Company shall file schedules annually with the regulatory authority having original
jurisdiction over the Company's rates on or before the Filing Date that support the
proposed rate adjustments. The schedules shall be in the same general format as the
cost of service model and relied-upon files upon which the Final Order was based. A
proof of rates and a copy of current and proposed tariffs shall also be included with the
filing. The filing shall be made in electronic form where practical. The Company’s filing
shall conform to Minimum Filing Requirements (to be agreed upon by the parties),
which will contain a minimum amount of information that will assist the regulatory
authority in its review and analysis of the filing. The Company and regulatory authority
will endeavor to hold a technical conference regarding the filing within twenty (20)
calendar days after the Filing Date.

A sworn statement shall be filed by an Officer of the Company affirming that the filed
schedules are in compliance with the provisions of this Rate Review Mechanism and
are true and correct to the best of his/her knowledge, information, and belief. No
testimony shall be filed, but a brief narrative explanation shall be provided of any
changes to corporate structure, accounting methodologies, allocation of common costs,
or atypical or non- recurring items included in the filing.
VI. Evaluation Procedures
The regulatory authority having original jurisdiction over the Company's rates shall
review and render a decision on the Company's proposed rate adjustment prior to the
Effective Date. The Company shall provide all supplemental information requested to
ensure an opportunity for adequate review by the relevant regulatory authority. The
Company shall not unilaterally impose any limits upon the provision of supplemental
information and such information shall be provided within seven (7) working days of the
original request. The regulatory authority may propose any adjustments it determines to
be required to bring the proposed rate adjustment into compliance with the provisions of
this tariff.
The regulatory authority may disallow any net plant investment that is not shown to be
prudently incurred. Approval by the regulatory authority of net plant investment pursuant
to the provisions of this tariff shall constitute a finding that such net plant investment
was prudently incurred. Such finding of prudence shall not be subject to further review
in a subsequent RRM or Statement of Intent filing.
During the Review Period, the Company and the regulatory authority will work
collaboratively and seek agreement on the level of rate adjustments. If, at the end of the
Review Period, the Company and the regulatory authority have not reached agreement,
the regulatory authority shall take action to modify or deny the proposed rate
adjustments. The Company shall have the right to appeal the regulatory authority's
action to the Railroad Commission of Texas. Upon the filing of an appeal of the
regulatory authority's order relating to an annual RRM filing with the Railroad
Commission of Texas, the regulatory authority having original jurisdiction over the
Company's rates shall not oppose the implementation of the Company's proposed rates
subject to refund, nor will the regulatory authority advocate for the imposition of a third
party surety bond by the Company. Any refund shall be limited to and determined based
on the resolution of the disputed adjustment(s) in a final, non-appealable order issued in
the appeal filed by the Company at the Railroad Commission of Texas.

EFFECTIVE DATE:Bills Rendered on and after 04/01/2018 PAGE: 5
In the event that the regulatory authority and Company agree to a rate adjustment(s)
that is different from the adjustment(s) requested in the Company’s filing, the Company
shall file compliance tariffs consistent with the agreement. No action on the part of the
regulatory authority shall be required to allow the rate adjustment(s) to become effective
on October 1. To the extent that the regulatory authority does not take action on the
Company's RRM filing by September 30, the rates proposed in the Company's filing
shall be deemed approved effective October 1. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, a regulatory authority may choose to take affirmative action to approve a rate
adjustment under this tariff. In those instances where such approval cannot reasonably
occur by September 30, the rates finally approved by the regulatory authority shall be
deemed effective as of October 1.
To defray the cost, if any, of regulatory authorities conducting a review of the
Company's annual RRM filing, the Company shall reimburse the regulatory authorities
on a monthly basis for their reasonable expenses incurred upon submission of invoices
for such review. Any reimbursement contemplated hereunder shall be deemed a
reasonable and necessary operating expense of the Company in the year in which the
reimbursement is made. A regulatory authority seeking reimbursement under this
provision shall submit its request for reimbursement to the Company no later than
December 1 of the year in which the RRM filing is made and the Company shall
reimburse regulatory authorities in accordance with this provision on or before
December 31 of the year the RRM filing is made.
To the extent possible, the provisions of the Final Order shall be applied by the
regulatory authority in determining whether to approve or disapprove of Company’s
proposed rate adjustment.
This Rider RRM does not limit the legal rights and duties of a regulatory authority.
Nothing herein shall abrogate the jurisdiction of the regulatory authority to initiate a rate
proceeding at any time to review whether rates charged are just and reasonable.
Similarly, the Company retains its right to utilize the provisions of Texas Utilities Code,
Chapter 104, Subchapter C to request a change in rates. The provisions of this Rider
RRM are implemented in harmony with the Gas Utility Regulatory Act (Texas Utilities
Code, Chapters 101-105).
The annual rate adjustment process set forth in this tariff shall remain in effect during
the pendency of any Statement of Intent rate filing.

I. Subject:
Consider approval of purchase of a John Deere 4M tractor through the HGACBuy program for
the Streets & Parks Department
II. Originated by:
Larry Hoover, Streets and Parks Supervisor
III. Summary:
The Streets Department has budgeted in the capital replacement fund $28,572.94 for the replacement of
a 1995 Long tractor that is 22 years old and in poor condition. Replacement parts are sometimes
impossible to procure, as some parts are now obsolete.
This equipment is used to mow lots and rights-of-way. The loss of this mowing tractor would severely
reduce staff's ability to maintain level of service.
The proposed John Deere 4M tractor is comparable in size and function. The presented cost of
$28,572.94 is for the tractor, a service agreement, and a 4-year maintenance agreement.
Staff recommends approval.

Agenda Item No: DECISION ITEMS - C.
I. Subject:
Consider approval of Resolution 521 authorizing funding participation with Tarrant County Community
Development and Housing for the 44th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project for
water line improvements on Danny Drive
II. Originated by:
Larry Ledbetter, Director of Public Works
III. Summary:
The City participates in an annual Public Works project that is funded, in part, by a HUD Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and administered by Tarrant County. As part of the application
process, the County requires the City to authorize the project and pledge any funds that may exceed the
HUD grant for the design and construction.
The recommended 2018 (44th-year CDBG) project is waterline improvements for 4000-4405 Danny
Drive. The project includes the replacement of 2,700 LF of approximately 70-year-old 6” asbestos-
cement waterline along Danny Drive with 8” PVC. The existing 6” pipe will be abandoned in place and
the new 8” line will be located within the existing right-of-way.
The estimated Engineering and Construction cost of the project is $341,965, of which it is
estimated that the City of Kennedale will provide $201,965 (noted in the proposal as the "City
Leverage Amount"). The assumed CDBG Award amount is $140,000.
IV. Fiscal Impact Summary:
The estimated cost to the City of Kennedale for this project will be $201,965.00, and will need to be
included in the FY18/19 Budget.
