EXHIBIT "B" WEST PROSPER VILLAGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
The Planned Development District provides the ability to encourage and accommodate the development of Retail and Office uses within the Town of Prosper. Retail District uses will generally provide opportunities for retail and office development, all in close association with intersections of future thoroughfares. Facilities will include uses that relate to the geographic location and transportation facilities that are proposed for this area. The Town recently rezoned a portion of this property to PD 51. In the Statement of Purpose and Intent the previous owner stated site characteristics of the development, such as topography, thoroughfare locations, proposed uses and development opportunities will formulate a distinctive approach for the Town's future. Thoroughfare locations have already begun that formulation. When the property was purchased it was learned that North Texas Central Council of Governments, Texas Department of Transportation and the Town’s Staff were desirous to link FM 1385 to FM 423. In so doing the resulting sweeping radius and revised connection to FM 1385 decreased the efficiency of the site design and significantly increased the right of way required. The contiguous area went from just under a rectangular shaped 23 acres to just over an irregular shaped 14 acres. The proposed rezoning incorporates about 12 contiguous acres to the previous PD providing for a property that can more reasonably support retail and offices uses commensurate with the location and transportation facilities available. The revised realignment of FM 1385 to connect to FM 423 will serve as a major access and circulation for areas to the north and along the growth corridor of FM 1385. The location of this retail will allow the Town to capture the sales tax dollars from a semi-regional circulation corridor.

Re: Town Council Meeting – August 09, 2011
Date: August 05, 2011
Agenda Item:
A public hearing to consider and act upon Ordinance No. 11-56 approving the negotiated
settlement agreement and resulting tariffs with Atmos Energy Corp. Mid-Tex Division as
recommended by the ACSC Settlement Committee and ACSC legal counsel.
Description of Agenda Item:
The Town, along with approximately 154 other cities served by Atmos Energy Mid-Tex Division
(“Atmos Mid-Tex”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”). This is the
fourth RRM filing under this program.
The results of the four RRM proceedings are as follows:
RRM Filing Year Atmos Request ACSC Settlement
#1 2008 $33.5 million $20 million
#2 2009 $20.2 million $2.6 million
#3 2010 $70.2 million $27 million
#4 2011 $15.7 million $6.6 million (pending
The Atmos Mid-Tex RRM filing sought a $15.7 million rate increase. ACSC analyzed the
schedules and evidence offered by Atmos Mid-Tex to support its request to increase rates. The
Ordinance and attached rate and RRM tariffs are the result of negotiations between ACSC and
the Company to resolve issues raised by ACSC during the review and evaluation of ACSC’s
RRM filing. The Ordinance resolves the Company’s RRM filing by authorizing supplemental
revenue of $6.6 million to be recovered through the customer charge component of rates to
cover direct incremental costs associated with a steel service line replacement program
approved as part of last year’s rate adjustment. All other relief requested by Atmos Mid-Tex is
denied.
The 2010 Settlement Agreement contemplated that the steel service line replacement program
would be adjusted annually, but shall be capped at $00.44 cents for residential customers and
$1.22 for commercial customers. The increase in this case is consistent with the caps
contemplated last year for the steel service line replacement program, and nothing more.
The monthly bill impact for residential customers will be a $0.35 increase in the base charge
from $7.15 to $7.50.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
Administration
Page 2 of 2
Approval of the Ordinance will result in the implementation of new rates that increase Atmos
Mid-Tex’s revenues for bills issued after September 1, 2011.
The alternative to a settlement of the RRM filing would be a contested case proceeding before
the Railroad Commission on the Company’s current application, would take several months and
cost ratepayers millions of dollars in rate case expenses, and would not likely produce a result
more favorable than that to be produced by the settlement. The ACSC Executive Committee
recommends that ACSC members take action to approve the Ordinance authorizing new rate
tariffs.

THIS ORDINANCE TO THE COMPANY AND THE
STEERING COMMITTEE’S LEGAL COUNSEL.
WHEREAS, the Town of Prosper, Texas (“Town”) is a gas utility customer of Atmos
Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “ Company”), and a regulatory authority
with an interest in the rates and charges of Atmos Mid-Tex; and
WHEREAS, the Town is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC” or
“Steering Committee”), a coalition of approximately 154 similarly situated cities served by
Atmos Mid-Tex that have joined together to facilitate the review of and response to natural gas
issues affecting rates charged in the Atmos Mid-Tex service area (such participating cities are
referred to herein as “ACSC Cities”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the agreement settling the Company’s 2007
Statement of Intent to increase rates, ACSC Cities and the Company worked collaboratively to
1327084/Atmos Mid-Tex RRM-4 Ordinance 2
develop a Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”) tariff that allows for an expedited rate review
process controlled in a three-year experiment by ACSC Cities as a substitute to the current GRIP
process instituted by the Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the Town took action in 2008 to approve a Settlement Agreement with
Atmos Mid-Tex resolving the Company’s 2007 rate case and authorizing the RRM Tariff; and

Re: Town Council Meeting August 9, 2011
Date: August 5, 2011
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon initiating Stage 2 Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Response
Measures.
Description of Agenda Item:
Stage 2 of the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Response
Plan is being implemented as a result of:
• The temporary loss of Lake Texoma raw water supply due to the invasive zebra
mussels. Lake Texoma accounts for roughly 25% of North Texas Municipal Water
District’s (NTMWD) raw water supply.
• NTMWD’s Lake Chapman capacity is at 47% due to continued drought and lack of rain
run-off to replenish water supply.
• NTMWD had a peak water usage of 554 million gallons per day, a new record for the
district and approaching treatment plant capacity during the high consumption periods.
The goal for water use reduction under Stage 2 is 5 percent.
Here are some highlights from the Prosper Drought Response Plan:
• Continue actions available under Stage 1.
• Further accelerate public education efforts on ways to reduce water use.
• Prohibit outdoor watering from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
• Require all Town of Prosper water users to comply with the following water use schedule
for landscape sprinkler system and outdoor water usage during the normal growing
season:
• Allow soaker hoses for foundation moisture, drip systems, and hand watering at any
time.
• Restrict non-essential town government water use. (Street cleaning, vehicle washing,
operation of ornamental fountains, etc.)
• Encourage the public to wait until the current drought or emergency situation has passed
before establishing new landscaping.
• Allow normal water use for all businesses including swimming pool construction and
maintenance, commercial car washes, nurseries, etc.

Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Citizens of Prosper
Mayor, Town Council, Citizens,
For your consideration the following is the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Proposed Town of Prosper Annual
Operations and Maintenance Budget. This document details the comprehensive strategic plan by which the
Town of Prosper strives to enhance the community’s quality of life. The Prosper Town Council’s adopted
Strategic Vision and Work Plan served as the guiding principles for developing this proposed budget. The
most important element of the Town Council’s vision is the following Purpose Statement:
TOWN OF PROSPER
PURPOSE STATEMENT
“Prosper is a place where everyone matters.”
BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Town of Prosper 2011-2012 Proposed Budget represents enhanced service to Town residents,
required or money-saving capital investments and additional public safety resources. The global
markets, national and state unemployment and indicators such as consumer confidence have been
rocky, but the Dallas metroplex and Prosper specifically have weathered the recent storms very well.
Even in these last two “slow” years, the Town maintained growth above preliminary estimates. Being
hesitant to overstate the Town’s positive outlook, this budget was prepared with conservative revenue
assumptions despite general optimism about its not too distant future.
The Town of Prosper currently employs seventy-four (74) regularly scheduled team members, sixty-
eight (68) full time and six (6) part time. Within the proposed budget there is a recommendation to
hire one additional Police Officer to increase depth in Patrol. Parks will add two Equipment
Operators, two Technicians and two Temporary Seasonal Maintenance Workers to help maintain
additional parks space and ball fields. In Inspections, the one existing part time position is being
reclassified to a full time Permit Technician position. To keep up with system growth and ensure
coverage in Utilities, both Water and Sewer departments will add a Utility Worker. A Utility Office
Coordinator will be added in Water. All other departments’ personnel will be funded at current
staffing levels.
In evaluating the 2011-2012 Proposed Budget it is important to consider it in context with several
historical organizational initiatives, current conditions and the impact each has on planning for
additional appropriations. Those with the greatest impact are listed below.
The Proposed 2011-2012 Budget Appropriations total $16.1 million (M) for all funds not including debt
service, capital projects or the Economic Development Corporation. Of that amount, approximately $7.9M
is for General Fund operations and maintenance, and $6.6M for the Town’s Enterprise Funds including Solid
Waste, Water and Sewer utilities as well as the Storm Drainage Utility Fund. Debt Service appropriations
for the coming fiscal year are $2.3M.
Property Values
Certified property valuations increased by $60M (5.2%) for FY 2011-2012. Property values increased from
$1,145.8M to $1,205.8. While the growth in total certified property valuations continues to increase,
existing property values remain relatively flat, with most of the increase coming from new construction or
annexations. Most of the Town’s current values come from Collin County properties, but the Denton
County portion of Prosper continue to increase. For the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year, freeze adjusted property
values in this area increased 65.4% to $53.4M.
Property Tax Rate
This year the property tax rate is proposed at $0.52 per $100 valuations, which is equal to the current rate.
The portion of the tax applied to debt service is $0.203063 with the balance for Maintenance and Operations.
Sales Taxes
With only a few new commercial operations opening in Prosper and retaining several solid businesses, sales
tax collections have remained around $1.1M for several years and are projected to stay in line with current
collections in FY 2012-2012.
Utility Rates
The Town of Prosper Town Council continues its implementation of rate recommendations that support the
Town Council’s adopted Water and Wastewater Utility Comprehensive Business Plan. The Plan as adopted
contains recommendations to enhance revenues, to establish a maintenance reserve and to fund an annual
contribution of 2% to a capital replacement program. In pursuit of matching user revenues to user expenses,
this proposed budget includes an estimated increase in water and sewer rates, which combined may cost the
average consumer $6 more per month.
Solid Waste rates may increase 3% to 5% for residential customer this coming fiscal year as part of a
renewed contract with IESI.
The Drainage Utility rates were confirmed by an engineering study completed in the current year. The
proposed budget assumes increases to these revenues only for anticipated new home construction.
GENERAL FUND
The 2011-2012 Budget as presented is based on using the current tax rate of $0.52. The projected
effective tax rate, that is the rate that would generate the same amount of property tax revenues from
the same taxed properties in 2011-2012 that were generated in this fiscal year, is $0.521078. The
rollback rate, which approximately equates to 108% of this year’s effective operating rate, is
$0.579913. Each additional penny of the tax rate generates approximately $113,000 in property tax
revenue. Additionally, for property tax revenue projections the Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector
states that it again expects to collect 100% of the current property taxes due based on their past history
of doing so.
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Revenues are expected to equal Appropriations resulting in zero net effect to
the Town’s Fund balance. The Audited Fund Balance at the end of 2009-2010 was $4,971,175.
Revised Fund balance prior to the final audit for 2010-2011 is expected to increase $100,000. Should
the current projections hold true, the total projected fund balance as of September 30, 2011 could
be $5,071,175.
In the 2011-2012 Budget, the target reserve level is set at 25% (or 90 days) of total appropriations.
Until a recent Charter election, there was a formal 10% Contingency Policy in the Charter in addition
to the targeted 90 day reserve. At the recommendation of staff, this year the Charter Commission
proposed to increase this to 20% and it was approved by 88% of voters. Town Council and Staff are
very cautious with the existing balance, understanding that future growth (especially in public safety)
will significantly cut into operating cost coverage “excess” of current reserves.
At the end of the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year the projected total fund balance not otherwise restricted or
held in contingency should total $1,497,217 which equates to an additional 68 days of operations
depending on final audited numbers, bringing the total number of operating days of reserves to 230
days.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Overall, revenues are projected to increase 11.6% compared to that in budgeted 2010-2011. This
increase primarily reflects an increase in permit fees for Single Family home permits to cover the costs
of related services while being cognizant of competing cities’ fees. Property Tax Revenues for
Operations and Maintenance are projected to increase by only 1.5% compared to budgeted 2010-2011
revenues.
Sales Taxes and Franchise Taxes are conservatively projected to stabilize at their current collections
despite the Town’s continued growth. Staff continues to be guarded when projecting sales tax because
of the downturn in construction related projections for the DFW metroplex. A large portion of the
Town’s sales tax revenues is directly linked to construction, making a decline in that economy a large
threat to sales tax forecasts. The Town expects to receive approximately $1,133,000 in sales tax in FY
2011-2012.
Building Permit Revenues are projected to increase to $934,900 or 287.0% when compared to the
2010-2011 Adopted Budget reflecting steady new home and minimal non-residential construction in
the coming year at the new, increased permit fee rates. Municipal Court Fines and Licenses are
projected to remain at current levels. Street rental, utility franchise payment and administrative fees
from the Town’s Water and Sewer Funds are projected to increase in accordance with the Town’s
adopted Water and Wastewater Utility Comprehensive Business Plan and subsequently adopted rate
study. A similar, but smaller fee of 6% will be transferred from the Drainage Utility Fund.
SAFER Grant revenues are scheduled to reduce 48% from $218,183 to $113,989. This source will be
exhausted in FY2012-2013 with reimbursements totaling $28,496. Over the life of this grant, the
Town will have received $948,825 to help pay for the addition of six full-time Firefighter/Paramedic
positions.
General Fund Revenues by Source
Revenue Category FY 2012 Proposed % of Total
Property Tax $ 3,940,354 49.6%
License, Fees & Permits $ 1,241,100 15.6%
Sales Tax $ 1,133,500 14.3%
Transfers In $ 575,681 7.2%
Franchise Fees $ 365,550 4.6%
Fines & Warrants $ 220,000 2.8%
Charges for Services $ 202,905 2.6%
Grants $ 131,289 1.7%
Investment Income $ 75,500 1.0%
Miscellaneous $ 56,250 0.7%
Revenue Total $ 7,942,129 100%
GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS
Total Appropriations for the Proposed 2011-2012 Budget are $7.9M. This is an increase of
approximately 11.6% compared to the 2010-2011 Budget. New personnel costs constitute 39% of the
total increase; the category of personnel makes up 67.7% of the General Fund Budget. Within the
proposed budget there is a recommendation to hire one Police Officer and reclassify a part time
position to a full time Permit Technician in Inspections. Parks is adding two Equipment Operators,
two Technicians and two seasonal workers for peak mowing season.
Program Enhancement and Capital Expenditures included in the proposed appropriations and planned
for the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year by Division are as follows:
DIVISION
CONTINUATION
AND PROGRAM
ENHANCEMENT DESCRIPTION
Parks and
Recreation
$323,200 Adding 4 full time and 2 temporary staff
Lease purchasing several tractors, 3
trucks, mowers and other equipment for
field and general maintenance
Dispatch $166,300 First full year of system annual support
costs
Administration $116,000 An overlapping replacement position for
the retiring Comptroller to smooth the

Administration
The Administration proposed budget includes funding for overlapping positions to recruit and train the
retiring Comptroller’s replacement. STW analytics tools were budgeted but not purchased in FY
2010-2011. Currently, only the Finance Director has the ability to run custom reports from the
database. The Town is almost finished consolidating all servers into virtual environments or at least
adding each to the primary domain. Several Town servers are beyond their scheduled life or are
overloaded to the point of inefficiency. Technology funding is built into this proposal to keep
employees working as productively as possible by replacing some end-user computers as well as
building redundancy on the servers with the IT goal of high availability. While the project budget is
not completed, Administration includes funding for the design and possible installation of Point to
Point wireless networking between Town facilities in lieu of expensive AT&T MPLS connections.
Police & Dispatch
The 2011-2012 Fiscal Year will be the third year of the Town’s Dispatch and Communications
Operations Center. With the delays in final project acceptance, FY 2011-2012 will be the first full
year for annual maintenance costs. The budget as presented also includes funding for the final lease
payments on two 2010 police vehicles.
Fire & Fire Marshall
The Fire Department will engage a consultant to review necessary steps required to improve the Town’s
ISO Public Protection Classification in future reviews.
Public Works – Streets
There are no significant changes or additions to the Street Budget proposed in 2011-2012 over the
current fiscal year.
Development Services -Inspections, Planning, Engineering, Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation
The Inspections Division will continue to utilize a private contractor to perform all health/food
establishment/hotel inspections. Additional costs reflected in the Code Enforcement Department
budget include demolition of four dilapidated structures and contractual costs with Collin County for
Animal Control.
Planning Department funding includes the second and final partial payment for the Comprehensive Fee
Update. Planning will continue to contract with Frisco’s GIS department for mapping services. This
budget proposes to continue the hosting service fee for the TRAKiT software program, which will
support all of Development Services and eventually may support Public Works.
In Parks and Recreation there are several major program changes proposed. The budget presented
includes four new full time staff, two seasonal helpers and significant capital investments via lease
purchases of equipment. The equipment planned for purchase includes three pick-up trucks, two pull
behind reel mowers, two utility tractors, one fairway mower, two Gator utility vehicles and assorted
attachments. The attachments include 2 loaders, a spray unit, two field rakes, a sod cutter, a Super
rake, two aerifiers, a tiller, a blower, a golf lift, an air compressor, a lawn vacuum and a topdresser.
DEBT SERVICE, ENTERPRISE AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
DEBT SERVICE (Interest & Sinking or “I&S”) FUND
This fund represents the debt portion of the tax rate. Debt payments from I&S for 2011-2012 will total
$2,338,744, an increase from the current year’s budget. The increase includes the first debt payments
for the 2010 Tax Note. The Town anticipates selling a Refunding Issue to clear the Series 1996, 1998
and 2001 CO’s at today’s interest rates for approximately $170,000 in net present value savings.
WATER, SEWER & SOLID WASTE UTILITY FUND
Revenues for the Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Fund are expected to increase to $6.3M with a rate
increase likely to occur before February. The adopted business plan for the Water and Sewer Utility
Fund identifies the need to for revenue enhancements to cover existing and future operations and
maintenance costs as well as debt service and contracted sewer costs with the Upper Trinity Regional
Water District. J. Stowe and Company is finalizing the rate update and will have a recommendation
for Council prior to budget adoption.
The solid waste contract with IESI was renewed in 2005 and will expire November 30, 2011. Staff is
currently reviewing a renewal option that includes an increase and will be negotiating best terms.
Water, Sewer & Solid Waste Fund Revenues by Source
Revenue Category FY 2012 Proposed % of Total
Water Charges $ 3,500,000 55.2%
Sewer Charges $ 1,700,000 26.8%
Solid Waste Charges $ 687,000 10.8%
Tap & Construction $ 300,000 4.7%
Penalties $ 57,000 0.9%
Investment Income $ 45,000 0.7%
License, Fees & Permits $ 29,900 0.5%
Miscellaneous $ 25,000 0.4%
Revenues Total $ 6,343,900 100%
Program Enhancement and Capital item expenses budgeted in the Water/Sewer Utility include:
$120,000 Addition of two Utility Workers and one Utility Office Coordinator
$ 25,000 Purchase of one new truck
DRAINAGE UTILITY FUND
The 2011-2012 Budget as proposed includes the increased revenues for new construction. Several
projects have been identified, and the fund is currently being reviewed for sufficiency to tackle some of
the Town’s larger drainage concerns. This would be feasible if the fund can support debt service
payments and still complete routine maintenance within collected revenues. The Drainage Utility
Fund funds a truck for the new Utility Worker position added during FY 2010-2011.
GENERAL DISCUSSION ITEMS
The following items also have been incorporated into the Proposed 2011-2012 Budget:
The proposed budget includes employee increases consistent with the Town’s compensation
study recommendations. In FY 2009-2010, employees did not earn salary increases, but rather
were allotted one time payments instead. In FY 2010-2011, the Town Council set the target
base salary range assignment at 100% of the average prevailing rate for the comparator market
and worked within the budget to get all employees up to their respective range minimum. For
FY 2011-2012, the strategy is to move employees with more time in their position further into
the range beyond the minimum. Salary increases and related benefits total approximately
$100,000 in the proposed budget.
The TMRS rate budgeted for FY 2011 is 10%, which is slightly more than the Annual
Required Contribution (ARC) Rate of 9.77% as required by GASB Statement Number 27.
While SB 350 didn’t give the Town much net ARC relief, the new calculation and the
fractional “overpayment” serve to offset future increases. Working with the TMRS actuary
over several scenarios, the payments over ARC helps reduce expected increases to less than
0.05% per year over the next few years.
Employee Health, Dental and other benefits typically increase in cost year to year, but this year
the Town expects to save approximately $4,619 compared to the same list of benefits offered
last year. The Town anticipates savings from offering employees two Health Insurance plan
options. With the option, the Town premiums are expected increased only $450 annually, and
the Town has kept medical premium increases for staff to a minimum. The Town requested
proposals for ancillary benefits, which resulted in the same or improved benefits for a total
savings of $5,069.
Continued partnerships with other entities have produced multiple saving opportunities for
shared services or improving our customer service to residents and visitors alike.
o The Town continues to operate the Community Library in the Reynolds Middle School.
o The Town renews its agreements along with several area cities to contract with Collin
County for Animal Control and Sheltering Service.
o The Town has several agreements with Frisco including using Frisco GIS for our
departments and Interlocal agreements for part time help in both the Municipal Court
and Dispatch as needed.
The Town will be completing a Comprehensive Plan update and Impact Fee/CIP update.
First Street and Coit Road will remain under construction during FY 2011-2012. The Wilson
Creek Interceptor sewer project is expected to be completed in the coming year.
In summary, staff is honored to present a proposed budget that exceeds the objectives provided by
Council. Staff has been able to expand services, further compensate existing staff while keeping a low
tax rate for the region. The Town of Prosper is fortunate in that one of the pressing issues is still how
to properly manage growth without overextending resources too far ahead. As proposed, this budget
keeps prudent feet on the ground, but stretches far enough to see over the horizon expectantly for
radical growth.
Sincerely,

Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Citizens of Prosper
Mayor, Town Council, Citizens,
For your consideration the following is the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Proposed Town of Prosper Annual
Operations and Maintenance Budget. This document details the comprehensive strategic plan by which the
Town of Prosper strives to enhance the community’s quality of life. The Prosper Town Council’s adopted
Strategic Vision and Work Plan served as the guiding principles for developing this proposed budget. The
most important element of the Town Council’s vision is the following Purpose Statement:
TOWN OF PROSPER
PURPOSE STATEMENT
“Prosper is a place where everyone matters.”
BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Town of Prosper 2011-2012 Proposed Budget represents enhanced service to Town residents,
required or money-saving capital investments and additional public safety resources. The global
markets, national and state unemployment and indicators such as consumer confidence have been
rocky, but the Dallas metroplex and Prosper specifically have weathered the recent storms very well.
Even in these last two “slow” years, the Town maintained growth above preliminary estimates. Being
hesitant to overstate the Town’s positive outlook, this budget was prepared with conservative revenue
assumptions despite general optimism about its not too distant future.
The Town of Prosper currently employs seventy-four (74) regularly scheduled team members, sixty-
eight (68) full time and six (6) part time. Within the proposed budget there is a recommendation to
hire one additional Police Officer to increase depth in Patrol. Parks will add two Equipment
Operators, two Technicians and two Temporary Seasonal Maintenance Workers to help maintain
additional parks space and ball fields. In Inspections, the one existing part time position is being
reclassified to a full time Permit Technician position. To keep up with system growth and ensure
coverage in Utilities, both Water and Sewer departments will add a Utility Worker. A Utility Office
Coordinator will be added in Water. All other departments’ personnel will be funded at current
staffing levels.
In evaluating the 2011-2012 Proposed Budget it is important to consider it in context with several
historical organizational initiatives, current conditions and the impact each has on planning for
additional appropriations. Those with the greatest impact are listed below.
The Proposed 2011-2012 Budget Appropriations total $16.1 million (M) for all funds not including debt
service, capital projects or the Economic Development Corporation. Of that amount, approximately $7.9M
is for General Fund operations and maintenance, and $6.6M for the Town’s Enterprise Funds including Solid
Waste, Water and Sewer utilities as well as the Storm Drainage Utility Fund. Debt Service appropriations
for the coming fiscal year are $2.3M.
Property Values
Certified property valuations increased by $60M (5.2%) for FY 2011-2012. Property values increased from
$1,145.8M to $1,205.8. While the growth in total certified property valuations continues to increase,
existing property values remain relatively flat, with most of the increase coming from new construction or
annexations. Most of the Town’s current values come from Collin County properties, but the Denton
County portion of Prosper continue to increase. For the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year, freeze adjusted property
values in this area increased 65.4% to $53.4M.
Property Tax Rate
This year the property tax rate is proposed at $0.52 per $100 valuations, which is equal to the current rate.
The portion of the tax applied to debt service is $0.203063 with the balance for Maintenance and Operations.
Sales Taxes
With only a few new commercial operations opening in Prosper and retaining several solid businesses, sales
tax collections have remained around $1.1M for several years and are projected to stay in line with current
collections in FY 2012-2012.
Utility Rates
The Town of Prosper Town Council continues its implementation of rate recommendations that support the
Town Council’s adopted Water and Wastewater Utility Comprehensive Business Plan. The Plan as adopted
contains recommendations to enhance revenues, to establish a maintenance reserve and to fund an annual
contribution of 2% to a capital replacement program. In pursuit of matching user revenues to user expenses,
this proposed budget includes an estimated increase in water and sewer rates, which combined may cost the
average consumer $6 more per month.
Solid Waste rates may increase 3% to 5% for residential customer this coming fiscal year as part of a
renewed contract with IESI.
The Drainage Utility rates were confirmed by an engineering study completed in the current year. The
proposed budget assumes increases to these revenues only for anticipated new home construction.
GENERAL FUND
The 2011-2012 Budget as presented is based on using the current tax rate of $0.52. The projected
effective tax rate, that is the rate that would generate the same amount of property tax revenues from
the same taxed properties in 2011-2012 that were generated in this fiscal year, is $0.521078. The
rollback rate, which approximately equates to 108% of this year’s effective operating rate, is
$0.579913. Each additional penny of the tax rate generates approximately $113,000 in property tax
revenue. Additionally, for property tax revenue projections the Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector
states that it again expects to collect 100% of the current property taxes due based on their past history
of doing so.
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Revenues are expected to equal Appropriations resulting in zero net effect to
the Town’s Fund balance. The Audited Fund Balance at the end of 2009-2010 was $4,971,175.
Revised Fund balance prior to the final audit for 2010-2011 is expected to increase $100,000. Should
the current projections hold true, the total projected fund balance as of September 30, 2011 could
be $5,071,175.
In the 2011-2012 Budget, the target reserve level is set at 25% (or 90 days) of total appropriations.
Until a recent Charter election, there was a formal 10% Contingency Policy in the Charter in addition
to the targeted 90 day reserve. At the recommendation of staff, this year the Charter Commission
proposed to increase this to 20% and it was approved by 88% of voters. Town Council and Staff are
very cautious with the existing balance, understanding that future growth (especially in public safety)
will significantly cut into operating cost coverage “excess” of current reserves.
At the end of the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year the projected total fund balance not otherwise restricted or
held in contingency should total $1,497,217 which equates to an additional 68 days of operations
depending on final audited numbers, bringing the total number of operating days of reserves to 230
days.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Overall, revenues are projected to increase 11.6% compared to that in budgeted 2010-2011. This
increase primarily reflects an increase in permit fees for Single Family home permits to cover the costs
of related services while being cognizant of competing cities’ fees. Property Tax Revenues for
Operations and Maintenance are projected to increase by only 1.5% compared to budgeted 2010-2011
revenues.
Sales Taxes and Franchise Taxes are conservatively projected to stabilize at their current collections
despite the Town’s continued growth. Staff continues to be guarded when projecting sales tax because
of the downturn in construction related projections for the DFW metroplex. A large portion of the
Town’s sales tax revenues is directly linked to construction, making a decline in that economy a large
threat to sales tax forecasts. The Town expects to receive approximately $1,133,000 in sales tax in FY
2011-2012.
Building Permit Revenues are projected to increase to $934,900 or 287.0% when compared to the
2010-2011 Adopted Budget reflecting steady new home and minimal non-residential construction in
the coming year at the new, increased permit fee rates. Municipal Court Fines and Licenses are
projected to remain at current levels. Street rental, utility franchise payment and administrative fees
from the Town’s Water and Sewer Funds are projected to increase in accordance with the Town’s
adopted Water and Wastewater Utility Comprehensive Business Plan and subsequently adopted rate
study. A similar, but smaller fee of 6% will be transferred from the Drainage Utility Fund.
SAFER Grant revenues are scheduled to reduce 48% from $218,183 to $113,989. This source will be
exhausted in FY2012-2013 with reimbursements totaling $28,496. Over the life of this grant, the
Town will have received $948,825 to help pay for the addition of six full-time Firefighter/Paramedic
positions.

Investment Income $ 75,500 1.0%
Miscellaneous $ 56,250 0.7%
Revenue Total $ 7,942,129 100%
GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS
Total Appropriations for the Proposed 2011-2012 Budget are $7.9M. This is an increase of
approximately 11.6% compared to the 2010-2011 Budget. New personnel costs constitute 39% of the
total increase; the category of personnel makes up 67.7% of the General Fund Budget. Within the
proposed budget there is a recommendation to hire one Police Officer and reclassify a part time
position to a full time Permit Technician in Inspections. Parks is adding two Equipment Operators,
two Technicians and two seasonal workers for peak mowing season.
Program Enhancement and Capital Expenditures included in the proposed appropriations and planned
for the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year by Division are as follows:
DIVISION
CONTINUATION
AND PROGRAM
ENHANCEMENT DESCRIPTION
Parks and
Recreation
$323,200 Adding 4 full time and 2 temporary staff
Lease purchasing several tractors, 3
trucks, mowers and other equipment for
field and general maintenance
Dispatch $166,300 First full year of system annual support
costs
Administration $116,000 An overlapping replacement position for
the retiring Comptroller to smooth the
transition, Computer Replacements for
Various Departments, Point to Point
Wireless, STW Vision Financial

Fire $ 15,000 Engaging ISO Rating Consultant
Administration
The Administration proposed budget includes funding for overlapping positions to recruit and train the
retiring Comptroller’s replacement. STW analytics tools were budgeted but not purchased in FY
2010-2011. Currently, only the Finance Director has the ability to run custom reports from the
database. The Town is almost finished consolidating all servers into virtual environments or at least
adding each to the primary domain. Several Town servers are beyond their scheduled life or are
overloaded to the point of inefficiency. Technology funding is built into this proposal to keep
employees working as productively as possible by replacing some end-user computers as well as
building redundancy on the servers with the IT goal of high availability. While the project budget is
not completed, Administration includes funding for the design and possible installation of Point to
Point wireless networking between Town facilities in lieu of expensive AT&T MPLS connections.
Police & Dispatch
The 2011-2012 Fiscal Year will be the third year of the Town’s Dispatch and Communications
Operations Center. With the delays in final project acceptance, FY 2011-2012 will be the first full
year for annual maintenance costs. The budget as presented also includes funding for the final lease
payments on two 2010 police vehicles.
Fire & Fire Marshall
The Fire Department will engage a consultant to review necessary steps required to improve the Town’s
ISO Public Protection Classification in future reviews.
Public Works – Streets
There are no significant changes or additions to the Street Budget proposed in 2011-2012 over the
current fiscal year.
Development Services -Inspections, Planning, Engineering, Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation
The Inspections Division will continue to utilize a private contractor to perform all health/food
establishment/hotel inspections. Additional costs reflected in the Code Enforcement Department
budget include demolition of four dilapidated structures and contractual costs with Collin County for
Animal Control.
Planning Department funding includes the second and final partial payment for the Comprehensive Fee
Update. Planning will continue to contract with Frisco’s GIS department for mapping services. This
budget proposes to continue the hosting service fee for the TRAKiT software program, which will
support all of Development Services and eventually may support Public Works.
In Parks and Recreation there are several major program changes proposed. The budget presented
includes four new full time staff, two seasonal helpers and significant capital investments via lease
purchases of equipment. The equipment planned for purchase includes three pick-up trucks, two pull
behind reel mowers, two utility tractors, one fairway mower, two Gator utility vehicles and assorted
attachments. The attachments include 2 loaders, a spray unit, two field rakes, a sod cutter, a Super
rake, two aerifiers, a tiller, a blower, a golf lift, an air compressor, a lawn vacuum and a topdresser.
DEBT SERVICE, ENTERPRISE AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
DEBT SERVICE (Interest & Sinking or “I&S”) FUND
This fund represents the debt portion of the tax rate. Debt payments from I&S for 2011-2012 will total
$2,338,744, an increase from the current year’s budget. The increase includes the first debt payments
for the 2010 Tax Note. The Town anticipates selling a Refunding Issue to clear the Series 1996, 1998
and 2001 CO’s at today’s interest rates for approximately $170,000 in net present value savings.
WATER, SEWER & SOLID WASTE UTILITY FUND
Revenues for the Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Fund are expected to increase to $6.3M with a rate
increase likely to occur before February. The adopted business plan for the Water and Sewer Utility
Fund identifies the need to for revenue enhancements to cover existing and future operations and
maintenance costs as well as debt service and contracted sewer costs with the Upper Trinity Regional
Water District. J. Stowe and Company is finalizing the rate update and will have a recommendation
for Council prior to budget adoption.
The solid waste contract with IESI was renewed in 2005 and will expire November 30, 2011. Staff is
currently reviewing a renewal option that includes an increase and will be negotiating best terms.
Water, Sewer & Solid Waste Fund Revenues by Source
Revenue Category FY 2012 Proposed % of Total
Water Charges $ 3,500,000 55.2%
Sewer Charges $ 1,700,000 26.8%
Solid Waste Charges $ 687,000 10.8%
Tap & Construction $ 300,000 4.7%
Penalties $ 57,000 0.9%
Investment Income $ 45,000 0.7%
License, Fees & Permits $ 29,900 0.5%
Miscellaneous $ 25,000 0.4%
Revenues Total $ 6,343,900 100%
Program Enhancement and Capital item expenses budgeted in the Water/Sewer Utility include:
$120,000 Addition of two Utility Workers and one Utility Office Coordinator
$ 25,000 Purchase of one new truck
DRAINAGE UTILITY FUND
The 2011-2012 Budget as proposed includes the increased revenues for new construction. Several
projects have been identified, and the fund is currently being reviewed for sufficiency to tackle some of
the Town’s larger drainage concerns. This would be feasible if the fund can support debt service
payments and still complete routine maintenance within collected revenues. The Drainage Utility
Fund funds a truck for the new Utility Worker position added during FY 2010-2011.
GENERAL DISCUSSION ITEMS
The following items also have been incorporated into the Proposed 2011-2012 Budget:
The proposed budget includes employee increases consistent with the Town’s compensation
study recommendations. In FY 2009-2010, employees did not earn salary increases, but rather
were allotted one time payments instead. In FY 2010-2011, the Town Council set the target
base salary range assignment at 100% of the average prevailing rate for the comparator market
and worked within the budget to get all employees up to their respective range minimum. For
FY 2011-2012, the strategy is to move employees with more time in their position further into
the range beyond the minimum. Salary increases and related benefits total approximately
$100,000 in the proposed budget.
The TMRS rate budgeted for FY 2011 is 10%, which is slightly more than the Annual
Required Contribution (ARC) Rate of 9.77% as required by GASB Statement Number 27.
While SB 350 didn’t give the Town much net ARC relief, the new calculation and the
fractional “overpayment” serve to offset future increases. Working with the TMRS actuary
over several scenarios, the payments over ARC helps reduce expected increases to less than
0.05% per year over the next few years.
Employee Health, Dental and other benefits typically increase in cost year to year, but this year
the Town expects to save approximately $4,619 compared to the same list of benefits offered
last year. The Town anticipates savings from offering employees two Health Insurance plan
options. With the option, the Town premiums are expected increased only $450 annually, and
the Town has kept medical premium increases for staff to a minimum. The Town requested
proposals for ancillary benefits, which resulted in the same or improved benefits for a total
savings of $5,069.
Continued partnerships with other entities have produced multiple saving opportunities for
shared services or improving our customer service to residents and visitors alike.
o The Town continues to operate the Community Library in the Reynolds Middle School.
o The Town renews its agreements along with several area cities to contract with Collin
County for Animal Control and Sheltering Service.
o The Town has several agreements with Frisco including using Frisco GIS for our
departments and Interlocal agreements for part time help in both the Municipal Court
and Dispatch as needed.
The Town will be completing a Comprehensive Plan update and Impact Fee/CIP update.
First Street and Coit Road will remain under construction during FY 2011-2012. The Wilson
Creek Interceptor sewer project is expected to be completed in the coming year.
In summary, staff is honored to present a proposed budget that exceeds the objectives provided by
Council. Staff has been able to expand services, further compensate existing staff while keeping a low
tax rate for the region. The Town of Prosper is fortunate in that one of the pressing issues is still how
to properly manage growth without overextending resources too far ahead. As proposed, this budget
keeps prudent feet on the ground, but stretches far enough to see over the horizon expectantly for
radical growth.

2011 Property Tax Rates in Town of Prosper
This notice concerns the 2011 property tax rates for Town of Prosper. It presents information
about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine
property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last
year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest
tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these
rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable
property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property
value.
Last year's tax rate:
Last year's operating taxes $3,613,414
Last year's debt taxes $1,999,791
Last year's total taxes $5,613,205
Last year's tax base $1,079,462,500
Last year's total tax rate $0.520000/$100
This year's effective tax rate:
Last year's adjusted taxes
(after subtracting taxes on lost property)
$5,607,176
÷ This year's adjusted tax base
(after subtracting value of new property)
$1,076,072,272
=This year's effective tax rate $0.521078/$100
(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)
This year's rollback tax rate:
Last year's adjusted operating taxes
(after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any
transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice
mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)
$4,024,901
÷ This year's adjusted tax base $1,076,072,272
=This year's effective operating rate $0.374036/$100
x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.403958/$100
+ This year's debt rate $0.203063/$100
= This year's total rollback rate $0.607021/$100
-Sales tax adjustment rate $0.027108/$100
=Rollback tax rate $0.579913/$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease
If Town of Prosper adopts a 2011 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.521078 per $100
of value, taxes would increase compared to 2010 taxes by $375,538.

Re: Town Council Meeting – August 05, 2011
Date: August 9, 2011
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a schedule for public hearings on the FY 2011-2012 Budget.
Description of Agenda Item:
According to Local Government Code Chapter 102, the Town must hold a public hearing on the
proposed budget and must publish the notice for this meeting in addition to the notice required
under Truth in Taxation guidelines.
The budget hearings are recommended to be scheduled on the same days as the public
hearings on the proposal to increase tax revenues if required. Given the likelihood that the rate
proposed will not exceed the effective or rollback rates, public hearings on the tax rate may not
need to be held.
August 23rd is a regularly scheduled meeting and August 30th is the designated special called
meeting to comply with Truth in Taxation parameters if required. Given the timelines for
publishing in the Prosper Press, staff has already submitted the notice of the public hearing to
be held on August 23.
Budget Impact:
Cost to publish the notice is budgeted.

Prosper, TX.”

Re: Town Council Meeting – August 9, 2011
Date: August 5, 2011
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a proposed 2011 property tax rate.
Description of Agenda Item:
This agenda item is to set the proposed tax rate to publish for consideration. According to
Property Tax Code Section 26.05(d), the Town is required to hold two public hearings and
publish newspaper ads if proposing to consider a tax rate that exceeds the effective rate or
rollback rate, whichever is lower. The rate the Town finally adopts can be lower than the
proposed and published rate, but it cannot exceed it without undergoing the required posting
requirements and timeframes. This item requires a record vote.
Budget Impact:
Cost to publish the notice is budgeted if required.

Town Staff Recommendation:

If making your motion according to staff’s recommendation, please use the following:
“I move to propose a 2011 tax rate of fifty-two cents ($0.52) per one hundred dollars
($100) of valuation, which is lower than both the effective rate and the rollback rate.”
If making your motion for a rate higher than the effective rate, you must specify the rate.
Please use the following and fill in the blank with your proposed rate:
“I move to place a proposal to adopt a 2011 tax rate of _______ cents per one hundred dollars
of valuation on the September 13, 2011 Town Council agenda.”

Re: Town Council Meeting – August 09, 2011
Date: August 05, 2011
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a schedule for public hearings on the proposed 2011 tax rate.
Description of Agenda Item:
According to the Property Tax Code Section 26.05(d), the Town is required to hold two public
hearings and publish newspaper ads before adopting a tax rate that exceeds the effective rate
or rollback rate, whichever is lower.
If the Council votes to propose the recommended tax rate of $0.52 per $100 valuation, the
public hearings and publications are not necessary and this item requires no action.
If the Council proposes any value greater than the effective rate, this item will need to be acted
on setting the public hearings and posting one-quarter page notices as called for in Truth in
Taxation. August 23rd is a regular meeting and August 30th is a special called meeting to
comply with Truth in Taxation parameters in the event the second public hearing is required.
Budget Impact:
Cost to publish the notices is budgeted.

Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends that the Town Council
Take no action on this item provided the rate proposed is lower than the effective rate.
If the proposed rate exceeds the effective rate, which is $0.521078/$100 valuation, please,
“Make a motion to set the public hearings on the proposal to increase total tax revenues and the
proposed tax rate of $_____ per $100 in valuation for August 23rd at 6:00 pm and August 30th
at 6:00pm, with each meeting taking place at the Prosper ISD Administration building located at
605 E 7th Street, Prosper, TX.”
