PREFACE
The Town of Prosper and the Prosper Economic Development Corporation are separately
chartered, governed, and operated entities. Each ENTITY adheres to its own governing
documents and the Public Funds Investment Act. Each ENTITY additionally seeks to safely and
effectively manage the funds under its control. To achieve those requirements, the governing
body of each ENTITY has legally adopted this Investment Policy.
Throughout this Investment Policy, the two entities shall be singularly referred to as “ENTITY”
and collectively referred to as “PROSPER.”
It is the policy of PROSPER that, giving due regard to the safety and risk of investment, all
available funds shall be invested in conformance with State and Federal Regulations, applicable
Bond Resolution requirements, adopted Investment Policy and adopted Investment Strategy.
Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. Aggressive
cash management and effective investment strategy development will be pursued to take
advantage of interest earnings as viable and material revenue to all PROSPER funds.
PROSPER’s portfolio shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust
and consistent with this policy.
Investments shall be made with the primary objectives of:
Preservation of capital,
Safety of PROSPER funds,
Maintenance of sufficient liquidity,
Maximization of return within acceptable risk constraints, and
Diversification of investments.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 4 of 26
I. PURPOSE
A. Formal Adoption
This Investment Policy is authorized by PROSPER in accordance with Chapter 2256,
Texas Government Code, the Public Funds Investment Act, herein referred to as
“PFIA”.
B. Scope
This Investment Policy applies to all of the investment activities of PROSPER. These
funds are accounted for in the Town’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) and include:
General Funds
Debt Service Funds
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds
Enterprise Funds
Internal Service Funds
Economic Development Corporation Funds
Any new fund created by the Town
The Town of Prosper may consolidate cash balances from multiple funds to maximize
investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based
on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
This Policy establishes guidelines for: 1. Who can invest PROSPER funds, 2. How PROSPER funds will be invested, and 3. When and how a periodic review of investments will be made.
In addition to this Policy, bond funds (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service)
shall be managed in accordance with their issuing documentation and all applicable
State and Federal Law.
All investments made with PROSPER funds prior to the adoption of this Investment
Policy shall be held or liquidated as determined to be in the best interest of the
financial well being of PROSPER. PROSPER will also monitor changes in the credit
ratings of its investments quarterly using a number of resources including rating
agencies, broker/dealers or financial publications. PROSPER shall take all prudent
measures that are consistent with its investment policy to liquidate an investment that
does not have the minimum rating.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 5 of 26
C. Review and Amendment
This Policy shall be reviewed annually by the ENTITY’s governing body. The
ENTITY’s governing body shall adopt a written document stating that it has
reviewed the Investment Policy.
D. Investment Strategy
In conjunction with the annual Policy review, the ENTITY’s governing body shall
review the separate written Investment Strategy for each of PROSPER’s funds. The
Investment Strategy must describe the investment objectives for each particular fund
according to the following priorities:
1. Investment suitability,
2. Preservation and safety of principal,
3. Liquidity,
4. Marketability prior to maturity of each investment,
5. Diversification, and
6. Yield.
II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
A. Safety of Principal
The primary objective of all investment activity is the preservation of capital and the
safety of principal in the overall portfolio. Each investment transaction shall seek to
ensure first that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from securities defaults
or erosion of the market value.
B. Maintenance of Adequate Liquidity
The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet the cash flow
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity shall be achieved by
matching investment maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements; investing in
securities with active secondary markets; and maintaining appropriate portfolio
diversification.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 6 of 26
C. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market
rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the
investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Core
investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a
fair return relative to the risk being assumed.
III. INVESTMENT POLICIES
A. Authorized Investments
Investments described below are authorized by PFIA as eligible securities for
PROSPER. In the event an authorized investment loses its required minimum credit
rating, all prudent measures will be taken to liquidate said investment. Additionally,
PROSPER is not required to liquidate investments that were authorized at the time of
purchase in the event that subsequent legislation renders certain securities as no
longer authorized for purchase by the Town. PROSPER’s funds governed by this
Policy may be invested in:
1. Obligations of Governmental Entities. Except for the items listed in 1.e. below,
the following are authorized investments for obligations of governmental

of ten years or with coupon rates that float inversely to market index

4. Local Government Investment Pools. Eligible investment pools organized and

a. Has a stated maturity of 270 days or fewer from the date of its issuance; and
b. Is rated not less than A-1 or P-1 or an equivalent rating by at least:
1. two nationally recognized credit rating agencies; or
2. one nationally recognized credit rating agency and is fully secured by an
irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank organized and existing under
the laws of the United States or any state.

2. is secured by a combination of cash and obligations described by PFIA,
section 2256.009(a)(1); and
3. requires the securities being purchased by the Town or cash held by the
Town to be pledged to the Town, held in the Town’s name, and deposited
at the time the investment is made with the Town or with the third-party

EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 10 of 26
d. Money received by an entity under the terms of a reverse security repurchase
agreement shall be used to acquire additional authorized investments, but the
term of the authorized investments acquired must mature not later than the
expiration date stated in the reverse security repurchase agreement.
B. Protection of Principal
PROSPER shall seek to control the risk of loss due to failure of a security issuer or
grantor. Such risk shall be controlled by investing only in the safest types of securities
as defined in the Policy; by collateralization as required by law; and through portfolio
diversification by maturity and type.
The purchase of individual securities shall be executed “Delivery versus Payment”
(DVP) through PROSPER’s Safekeeping Agent. By so doing, PROSPER’s funds are
not released until PROSPER has received, through the Safekeeping Agent, the
securities purchased.
1. Diversification by Investment Type
Diversification by investment type shall be maintained by ensuring an active and
efficient secondary market in portfolio investments and by controlling the market
and opportunity risks associated with specific investment types.
Bond proceeds may be invested in a single security or investment if PROSPER
determines that such an investment is necessary to comply with Federal arbitrage
restrictions or to facilitate arbitrage record keeping and calculation.
2. Diversification by Investment Maturity
In order to minimize risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, investment
maturities will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds.
Generally, PROSPER will not directly invest in securities maturing more than
five years from the date of purchase.
Maturity guidelines by fund type are discussed in Section IV, Investment
Strategy.
3. Ensuring Liquidity
Liquidity shall be achieved by anticipating cash flow requirements, by investing
in securities with active secondary markets and by investing in eligible money
market mutual funds and local government investment pools.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 11 of 26
A security may be liquidated to meet unanticipated cash requirements, to redeploy
cash into other investments expected to outperform current holdings, or otherwise
to adjust the portfolio.
4. Depository Agreements
Consistent with the requirements of State Law, PROSPER requires all bank
deposits to be federally insured or collateralized with eligible securities. Financial
institutions serving as PROSPER’s Depositories will be required to sign a
Depository Agreement with PROSPER and PROSPER’s safekeeping agent. The
safekeeping portion of the Agreement shall define PROSPER’s rights to the
collateral in case of default, bankruptcy, or closing and shall establish a perfected
security interest in compliance with Federal and State regulations, including:
The Agreement must be in writing;
The Agreement has to be executed by the Depository and PROSPER
contemporaneously with the acquisition of the asset;
The Agreement must be approved by the Board of Directors or the designated
committee of the Depository and a copy of the meeting minutes must be
delivered to PROSPER;
The Agreement must be part of the Depository’s “official record”
continuously since its execution.
a. Allowable Collateral
Eligible securities for collateralization of PROSPER deposits are defined by
Chapter 2257, Texas Government Code, the Public Funds Collateral Act, as
amended and meet the constraints of this Section III. A. 2.
b. Collateral Levels
The market value of pledged collateral must at all times be equal to or greater
than 102% of the principal and accrued interest for PROSPER balances, less
the applicable level of FDIC insurance.
c. Monitoring Collateral Adequacy
PROSPER shall require monthly reports of pledged securities marked to
market using quotes by a recognized market pricing service quoted on the
valuation date from all financial institutions with which PROSPER has
collateralized deposits. The Investment Officers will monitor adequacy of
collateralization levels to verify market values and total collateral positions.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 12 of 26
d. Additional Collateral
If the collateral pledged for a deposit falls below adequate levels, as defined
above in Section 4.b. , the institution holding the deposit will be notified by
the Investment Officers and will be required to pledge additional securities no
later than the end of the next succeeding business day.
e. Security Substitution
Collateralized deposits often require substitution of securities. Any financial
institution requesting substitution must contact an Investment Officer for
approval and settlement. The substituted security’s value will be calculated
and substitution approved if the substitution maintains a pledged value equal
to or greater than the required security level. An Investment Officer must
provide written notification of the decision to the bank or the safekeeping
agent holding the security prior to any security release. Substitution is
allowable for all transactions, but should be limited, if possible, to minimize
potential administrative problems and transfer expense. The Investment
Officers may limit substitution and assess appropriate fees if substitution
becomes excessive or abusive.
5. Safekeeping
a. Safekeeping Agreement
PROSPER shall contract with a bank or banks for the safekeeping of
securities either owned by PROSPER as a part of its investment portfolio or as
a part of its depository agreements.
b. Safekeeping of Deposit Collateral

bank eligible under the Public Funds Collateral Act, and acceptable to and
under contract with PROSPER, or by a Federal Reserve Bank.
C. Investment Advisers and Securities Dealers
Investment Advisers shall adhere to the spirit, philosophy and specific terms of this
Policy and shall invest within the same “Standard of Care” as defined in Section E. 3.
below. Securities Dealers shall avoid recommending or suggesting transactions
outside that “Standard of Care.”
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 13 of 26

constraints,
c. Responsiveness to PROSPER’s request for services, information and open
communication,

not authorized by PROSPER’s investment policy, except to the extent that
this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of
PROSPER’s entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective
investment standards.
PROSPER shall not enter into an investment transaction with a business
organization prior to receiving the written instruments described above.
c. Competitive Bids
It is the policy of PROSPER to require competitive bidding for all individual
security purchases and sales except for:

in the management of the person’s own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to
be derived.”
4. Standards of Ethics
The designated Investment Officers shall act as custodians of the public trust
avoiding any transactions which might involve a conflict of interest, the
appearance of a conflict of interest, or any activity which might otherwise
discourage public confidence. Investment Officers shall refrain from personal
business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment
program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment
decisions. Additionally, all Investment Officers shall file with the Texas Ethics
Commission and the ENTITY’s governing body a statement disclosing any
personal business relationship with a business organization seeking to sell

determine valuations and consideration will be given to GASB Statement No. 31.
PROSPER, in conjunction with its annual financial audit, shall perform a
compliance audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to
PROSPER’s Investment Policy. If PROSPER invests in other than money market
mutual funds, investment pools or accounts offered by its depository bank in the
form of certificates of deposits, or money market accounts or similar accounts, the
reports prepared by the Investment Officers shall be formally reviewed at least
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 17 of 26
annually by an independent auditor, and the result of the review shall be reported
to the ENTITY’s governing body by that auditor.

EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 18 of 26
IV. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In order to minimize risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, investment maturities
will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the fund. Investment guidelines
by fund-type are as follows:
A. Operating Funds
1. Suitability – Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for the
Operating Funds.
2. Safety of Principal – All investments shall be of high quality securities with no
perceived default risk.
3. Liquidity – The Operating Fund requires the greatest short-term liquidity of any
of the fund types. Short term investment pools and money market mutual funds
provide daily liquidity and may be utilized as a competitive yield alternative to
fixed maturity investments. The weighted average days to maturity for the
operating fund portfolio shall be less than 365 days, and the maximum allowable
maturity shall be five years.
4. Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are
necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market
“spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less
than a quarter of a percentage point shall define an efficient secondary market.
5. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated operating needs of PROSPER.
Market cycle risks will be reduced by diversifying the appropriate maturity
structure out no longer than five years.
6. Yield – Attaining a competitive market yield for comparable security-types and
portfolio restrictions is the desired objective. The yield of an equally weighted,
rolling portfolio of Treasury securities with an average maturity roughly
equivalent to that of the portfolio shall be the minimum yield objective.
B. Construction and Capital Improvement Funds
1. Suitability – Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for the
Construction and Capital Improvement Funds.
2. Safety of Principal – All investments shall be of high quality securities with no
perceived default risk. By managing Construction and Capital Improvement
Fund’s portfolio to exceed the anticipated expenditure schedule, the market risk of
the overall portfolio will be minimized.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 19 of 26
3. Liquidity – PROSPER funds used for construction and capital improvement
programs have reasonably predictable draw down schedules. The investment
maturity of construction and capital improvement funds shall generally be limited
to the anticipated cash flow requirement or the “temporary period,” as defined by
Federal Tax Law. During the temporary period, which is generally three years for
capital projects, bond proceeds may be invested at an unrestricted yield. After the
expiration of the temporary period, bond proceeds subject to yield restriction shall
be invested considering the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds and
market conditions to achieve compliance with the applicable regulations. The
stated final maturity dates of investments held should not exceed the estimated
project completion date; the maximum maturity for all construction or capital
improvement funds shall be five years.
4. Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are
necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market
“spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less
than a quarter of a percentage point shall define an efficient secondary market.
5. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated operating needs of the
construction and capital improvement funds of PROSPER.
6. Yield – Attaining a competitive market yield for comparable security-types and
portfolio restrictions is the desired objective. The yield of an equally weighted,
rolling three-month Treasury bill portfolio shall be the minimum yield objective.
C. Debt Service Funds
1. Suitability – Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for the
Debt Service Funds.
2. Safety of Principal – All investments shall be of high quality securities with no
perceived default risk. By managing Debt Service Fund’s portfolio to not exceed
the debt service payment schedule the market risk of the overall portfolio will be
minimized.
3. Liquidity – Debt Service have predictable payment schedules. Debt Service
Funds shall be invested to ensure adequate funding for each consecutive debt
service payment. The Investment Officers shall invest in such a manner as not to
exceed an “unfunded” debt service date with the maturity of any investment. An
unfunded debt service date is defined as a coupon or principal payment date that
does not have cash or investment securities available to satisfy said payment. The
weighted average days to maturity for the debt service fund portfolio shall be less
than 365 days and the maximum allowable maturity shall be two years.
EXHIBIT A
Revised 03/2012 Investment Policy Page 20 of 26
4. Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are not
necessary as the event of an unanticipated cash requirement is not probable.
5. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated needs of the debt service
funds of PROSPER. At no time shall the debt service schedule be exceeded in an
attempt to bolster yield.
6. Yield – Attaining a competitive market yield for comparable security-types and
portfolio restrictions is the desired objective. The yield of an equally weighted,
rolling portfolio Treasury securities with an average maturity roughly equivalent
to that of the portfolio shall be the minimum yield objective.
D. Enterprise Funds
1. Suitability – Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for the
Enterprise Funds.
2. Safety of Principal – All investments shall be of high quality securities with no
perceived default risk.
3. Liquidity – The Enterprise Fund requires short-term liquidity for some operations.
Short-term investment pools and money market mutual funds provide daily
liquidity where needed. The weighted average days to maturity for the enterprise
fund portfolio shall be less than 365 days and the maximum allowable maturity
shall be five years.
4. Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are
necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market
“spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less
than a quarter of a percentage point shall define an efficient secondary market.
5. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated operating needs of PROSPER.
Market cycle risk will be reduced by diversifying the appropriate maturity
structure out no longer than five years
6. Yield – Attaining a competitive market yield for comparable security-types and
portfolio restrictions is the desired objective. Portions of Enterprise Fund reserves
are available to earn higher yield on longer maturities. The yield of an equally
weighted, rolling portfolio Treasury securities with an average maturity roughly
equivalent to that of the portfolio shall be the minimum yield objective.

PREFACE
The Town of Prosper and the Prosper Economic Development Corporation are separately
chartered, governed, and operated entities. Each ENTITY adheres to its own governing
documents and the Public Funds Investment Act. Each ENTITY additionally seeks to safely and
effectively manage the funds under its control. To achieve those requirements, the governing
body of each ENTITY has legally adopted this Investment Policy.
Throughout this Investment Policy, the two entities shall be singularly referred to as “ENTITY”
and collectively referred to as “PROSPER.”
It is the policy of PROSPER that, giving due regard to the safety and risk of investment, all
available funds shall be invested in conformance with State and Federal Regulations, applicable
Bond Resolution requirements, adopted Investment Policy and adopted Investment Strategy.
Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. Aggressive
cash management and effective investment strategy development will be pursued to take
advantage of interest earnings as viable and material revenue to all PROSPER funds.
PROSPER’s portfolio shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust
and consistent with this policy.
Investments shall be made with the primary objectives of:
Preservation of capital,
Safety of PROSPER funds,
Maintenance of sufficient liquidity,
Maximization of return within acceptable risk constraints, and
Diversification of investments.
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 4 of 30
I. PURPOSE
A. Formal Adoption
This Investment Policy is authorized by PROSPER in accordance with Chapter 2256,
Texas Government Code, the Public Funds Investment Act, herein referred to as
“PFIA”.
B. Scope
This Investment Policy applies to all of the investment activities of PROSPER. These
funds are accounted for in the Town’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) and include:
General Funds
Debt Service Funds
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds
Enterprise Funds
Internal Service Funds
Economic Development Corporation Funds
Any new fund created by the Town
The Town of Prosper may consolidate cash balances from multiple funds to maximize
investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based
on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
This Policy establishes guidelines for: 1. Who can invest PROSPER funds, 2. How PROSPER funds will be invested, and 3. When and how a periodic review of investments will be made.
In addition to this Policy, bond funds (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service)
shall be managed in accordance with their issuing documentation and all applicable
State and Federal Law.
All investments made with PROSPER funds prior to the adoption of this Investment
Policy shall be held or liquidated as determined to be in the best interest of the
financial well being of PROSPER. PROSPER will also monitor changes in the credit
ratings of its investments quarterly using a number of resources including rating
agencies, broker/dealers or financial publications. PROSPER shall take all prudent
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 5 of 30
measures that are consistent with its investment policy to liquidate an investment that
does not have the minimum rating.
C. Review and Amendment
This Policy shall be reviewed annually by the ENTITY’s governing body. The
ENTITY’s governing body shall adopt a written document stating that it has
reviewed the Investment Policy.
D. Investment Strategy
In conjunction with the annual Policy review, the ENTITY’s governing body shall
review the separate written Investment Strategy for each of PROSPER’s funds. The
Investment Strategy must describe the investment objectives for each particular fund
according to the following priorities:
1. Investment suitability,
2. Preservation and safety of principal,
3. Liquidity,
4. Marketability prior to maturity of each investment,
5. Diversification, and
6. Yield.
II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
A. Safety of Principal
The primary objective of all investment activity is the preservation of capital and the
safety of principal in the overall portfolio. Each investment transaction shall seek to
ensure first that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from securities defaults
or erosion of the market value.
B. Maintenance of Adequate Liquidity
The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet the cash flow
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity shall be achieved by
matching investment maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements; investing in
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 6 of 30
securities with active secondary markets; and maintaining appropriate portfolio
diversification.
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 7 of 30
C. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market
rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the
investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Core
investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a
fair return relative to the risk being assumed.

as defined in the Policy; by collateralization as required by law; and through portfolio
diversification by maturity and type.

not released until PROSPER has received, through the Safekeeping Agent, the
securities purchased.
1. Diversification by Investment Type
Diversification by investment type shall be maintained by ensuring an active and
efficient secondary market in portfolio investments and by controlling the market
and opportunity risks associated with specific investment types.
Bond proceeds may be invested in a single security or investment if PROSPER
determines that such an investment is necessary to comply with Federal arbitrage
restrictions or to facilitate arbitrage record keeping and calculation.

maturities will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds.
Generally, PROSPER will not directly invest in securities maturing more than
five years from the date of purchase.
Maturity guidelines by fund type are discussed in Section IV, Investment
Strategy.

cash into other investments expected to outperform current holdings, or otherwise
to adjust the portfolio.
4. Depository Agreements
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 13 of 30
Consistent with the requirements of State Law, PROSPER requires all bank
deposits to be federally insured or collateralized with eligible securities. Financial
institutions serving as PROSPER’s Depositories will be required to sign a
Depository Agreement with PROSPER and PROSPER’s safekeeping agent. The
safekeeping portion of the Agreement shall define PROSPER’s rights to the
collateral in case of default, bankruptcy, or closing and shall establish a perfected
security interest in compliance with Federal and State regulations, including:
The Agreement must be in writing;
The Agreement has to be executed by the Depository and PROSPER
contemporaneously with the acquisition of the asset;
The Agreement must be approved by the Board of Directors or the designated
committee of the Depository and a copy of the meeting minutes must be
delivered to PROSPER;
The Agreement must be part of the Depository’s “official record”
continuously since its execution.
a. Allowable Collateral
Eligible securities for collateralization of PROSPER deposits are defined by
Chapter 2257, Texas Government Code, the Public Funds Collateral Act, as
amended and meet the constraints of this Section III. A. 2.
b. Collateral Levels
The market value of pledged collateral must at all times be equal to or greater
than 102% of the principal and accrued interest for PROSPER balances, less
the applicable level of FDIC insurance.
c. Monitoring Collateral Adequacy
PROSPER shall require monthly reports of pledged securities marked to
market using quotes by a recognized market pricing service quoted on the
valuation date from all financial institutions with which PROSPER has
collateralized deposits. The Investment Officers will monitor adequacy of
collateralization levels to verify market values and total collateral positions.
d. Additional Collateral
EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 14 of 30
If the collateral pledged for a deposit falls below adequate levels, as defined
above in Section 4.b. , the institution holding the deposit will be notified by
the Investment Officers and will be required to pledge additional securities no
later than the end of the next succeeding business day.
e. Security Substitution
Collateralized deposits often require substitution of securities. Any financial
institution requesting substitution must contact an Investment Officer for
approval and settlement. The substituted security’s value will be calculated
and substitution approved if the substitution maintains a pledged value equal
to or greater than the required security level. An Investment Officer must
provide written notification of the decision to the bank or the safekeeping
agent holding the security prior to any security release. Substitution is
allowable for all transactions, but should be limited, if possible, to minimize
potential administrative problems and transfer expense. The Investment
Officers may limit substitution and assess appropriate fees if substitution
becomes excessive or abusive.
5. Safekeeping
a. Safekeeping Agreement
PROSPER shall contract with a bank or banks for the safekeeping of
securities either owned by PROSPER as a part of its investment portfolio or as
a part of its depository agreements.
b. Safekeeping of Deposit Collateral

bank eligible under the Public Funds Collateral Act, and acceptable to and
under contract with PROSPER, or by a Federal Reserve Bank.
C. Investment Advisers and Securities Dealers
Investment Advisers shall adhere to the spirit, philosophy and specific terms of this
Policy and shall invest within the same “Standard of Care” as defined in Section E. 3.
below. Securities Dealers shall avoid recommending or suggesting transactions
outside that “Standard of Care.”
EXHIBIT B

reasonable procedures and controls in an effort to preclude investment

this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of
PROSPER’s entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective
investment standards.
PROSPER shall not enter into an investment transaction with a business
organization prior to receiving the written instruments described above.
c. Competitive Bids
It is the policy of PROSPER to require competitive bidding for all individual
security purchases and sales except for:

daily operating needs of PROSPER.
2. Prudent Investment Management
The designated Investment Officers shall perform their duties in accordance with

investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to
be derived.”
4. Standards of Ethics
The designated Investment Officers shall act as custodians of the public trust
avoiding any transactions which might involve a conflict of interest, the
appearance of a conflict of interest, or any activity which might otherwise
discourage public confidence. Investment Officers shall refrain from personal

program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment
decisions. Additionally, all Investment Officers shall file with the Texas Ethics
Commission and the ENTITY’s governing body a statement disclosing any
personal business relationship with a business organization seeking to sell

compliance audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to
PROSPER’s Investment Policy. If PROSPER invests in other than money market

EXHIBIT B
Revised 03/20112012 Investment Policy Page 22 of 30
IV. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In order to minimize risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, investment maturities
will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the fund. Investment guidelines
by fund-type are as follows:
A. Operating Funds
1. Suitability – Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for the
Operating Funds.
2. Safety of Principal – All investments shall be of high quality securities with no
perceived default risk.
3. 3Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are
necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical
market “spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-
type of less than a quarter of a percentage point shall define an efficient
secondary market.
4. Liquidity – The Operating Fund requires the greatest short-term liquidity of any
of the fund types. Short term investment pools and money market mutual funds
provide daily liquidity and may be utilized as a competitive yield alternative to
fixed maturity investments. The weighted average days to maturity for the
operating fund portfolio shall be less than 365 days, and the maximum allowable
maturity shall be five years.
4. 4. Marketability – Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are
necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market
“spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less
than a quarter of a percentage point shall define an efficient secondary market.
5. Diversification – Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated operating needs of PROSPER.
Market cycle risks will be reduced by diversifying the appropriate maturity
structure out no longer than five years.

Re: Town Council Meeting – March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a name for the loop street in Frontier Park.
Description of Agenda Item:
Charles Robinson, a resident of Prosper for over 91 years, has requested the Town name the
loop road in Frontier Park after the family that originally settled the area where Frontier Park and
Prosper High School are located. John Greenwood, Sr. settled the area prior to Prosper being
a Town. John and his wife Lydia raised fourteen children on the land where Prosper High
School and Frontier Community Park exist. Following John Greenwoods passing in 1926, three
of his children decided to stay on the land. Today many of John Greenwood’s relatives reside in
Prosper and the surrounding area, including Charles Robinson the only son of Allie (Robinson)
Greenwood.
The Town’s Comprehensive Parks Ordinance, Section 5 gives direction for the naming of Town
park locations; however it does not give direction related to the naming of streets within park
locations.
Parks Division staff consulted with the Fire Department regarding the naming of the street. The
recommendation from the Fire Department is to add another word into the name of the street,
due to another street with the name of Greenwood Court. This would reduce the chance of any
conflicts in the case of an emergency call. Staff contacted Mr. Robinson, who suggested adding
the “Memorial” to the name.
Budget Impact:
There are no budget implications associated with this item.
Legal Obligations and Review:
No legal review of this item is required.

Town Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Town Council name the loop street in Frontier Park Greenwood Memorial
Lane, in honor of the Greenwood family that settled the location.

Agenda Item:
Replacement of aging response vehicles for Battalion Chief and Fire Marshal.
Description of Agenda Item:
Staff recommends the purchase of (1) 2012 Ford F150 Pickup Truck and (1) 2012 Chevy Tahoe
to replace two aging Ford Expeditions that are used daily in operations and administration and
provide reliable response vehicles to the Town. Both existing Expeditions were
decommissioned police vehicles that were removed from their fleet for high mileage. Both
vehicles are experiencing multiple mechanical issues, lack emergency striping, and need
multiple repairs that could exceed the amount of current value.
Budget Impact:
Value of vehicles $75,109.06, reflective safety striping $2500.00, and locking bed cover
$1005.00 totaling $78,614.06. We are requesting to use funds from our reimbursement received
from the State of Texas from mutual-aid Wild Land Deployments in West Texas and South
Texas from 2011. To date we have received $97,798.96. Due to the unknown from the State
this was not included in this year’s budget revenue. All reimbursements have been received
during this current budget year.

DRAINAGE PROJECTS: On December 14, 2010, the Town council adopted a Municipal
Drainage Utility System Fee Schedule to fund the operations and maintenance of existing Town
drainage facilities. With the continued growth of the Town, the additional drainage utility system
fee funds being collected are able to reimburse annual debt payments that could fund the
following capital improvements listed in the Drainage Utility System Fee Report.
Project Name Description Est. Cost
Lakes of La Cima Detention Pond Outfall Reconstruction $250,000
Teel Road Culvert Upgrade $30,000
Parvin Street Downtown Drainage Study $75,000

Gentle Creek Channel Improvements north of Crooked Stick $25,000
Frontier Parkway Culvert Upgrade $25,000
Talon Drive Culvert Upgrade $25,000
TOTAL FUNDING OF DRAINAGE $530,000
WATER PROJECTS: On November 8, 2011, the Town Council adopted an ordinance updating
the Town’s land use assumptions, capital improvements plan, and roadway, water, and
wastewater impact fees. The capital improvements plan was developed to provide planning to
the Town for adequate water and wastewater service to support the existing and proposed
residential and commercial development. The impact fees adopted as part of the capital
improvement plan were based on the water and sewer projects required to meet growth
demands from 2011-2021. These projects are shown on the attached water and wastewater
capital improvement projects exhibits.
As part of the capital improvements plan, the Town’s water demands was calculated for the
Year 2011 and projected for the Year 2021 and at Buildout based on the anticipated growth.
The table below provides the results of these calculations as provided in the capital
improvements plan study.
Projected Water Demands
Year Average Day (mgd)
Calculated
Maximum Day (mgd)
Calculated
Peak Hour (mgd)
2011 2.50 (actual) 8.38 16.50
2021 6.79 19.63 38.53
Buildout 21.53 52.40 101.96
Also as part of the capital improvements plan, the Town’s ground storage and pumping capacity
was evaluated in coordination with the water demands and the following associated
improvements recommended based on design criteria set forth in the study:
• Design and construction of ground storage tanks to serve the Upper Pressure Plane
(UPP) east of the BNSF RR and the Lower Pressure Plan (LPP) west of the BNSF RR.
• Expansion of the existing Custer Road Pump Station to serve the UPP.
• Design and construction of a second water distribution line to facility the increased
pumping capacity at the Custer Road Pump Station.
• Design and construction of an additional elevated storage tank to serve the UPP.
• Design and construction of an additional Pump Station to serve the LPP.
• Design and construction of an elevated storage tank to serve the LPP.

summarizes the recommended ground storage capacity and associated improvements based
on the design criteria.
Recommended Ground Storage Capacity
The following figure was provided in the capital improvements plan study and shows the timing
for expansion of the existing Custer Road Pump Station to serve the UPP.
Recommended UPP Firm Pumping Capacity
Page 5 of 8
Freese and Nichols, Inc. developed criteria for sizing of storage and pumping capacity for the
Town. These criteria take into consideration many factors including operational flexibility, fire
protection, and energy efficiency. The design criteria recommended to size ground storage tank
capacity is to provide adequate storage volume to meet 8 hours of maximum day demand. The
design criteria recommended for pump station capacity is providing a firm pumping capacity to
meet 65% of the peak hour demand. The firm pumping capacity is defined as the total available
pumping capacity with the largest pump out of service to each pressure plane.
• Ground Storage: The Town currently has a 3 MG tank at the Custer Road Pump Station.
Based on the capital improvements plan study, the recommended capacity of ground
storage for the Year 2011 was 3 MG and increases to 6.5 MG by the year 2021. Based on
the growth since this study was adopted, the Town is below the recommended amount of
ground storage capacity. In order to maintain adequate ground storage capacity an
additional 5 MG tank is recommended. Since there exists a deficiency with the
recommended ground storage tank capacity and the Town is currently undertaking an ISO
Rating analysis, Town staff recommends that this additional tank be constructed as soon as
the design plans are complete. This additional tank will provide enough ground storage
capacity until the Year 2024 when another 5 MG tank will need to be constructed. The final
5 MG tank is anticipated to be required in the Year 2034.
• Pumping Capacity: As depicted on the Recommended UPP Firm Pumping Capacity figure,
the Town is currently below the recommendation in the study. With the expansion of the
existing Custer Road Pump Station to 20 MGD, the pumping capacity is projected to be
adequate until the Year 2024. At that time the Custer Road Pump Station would need to be
expanded from 20 MGD pumping capacity to 30 MGD pumping capacity.
On December 13, 2011, the Town Council approved a design contract with Freese and Nichols
for the design of an additional 5 MG ground storage tank at the Custer Road Pump Station site
and increasing the pumping capacity at the site from 7.35 MGD to 20 MGD. Design is
underway and the anticipated project schedule is:
• Complete Design April 2012
• Bid Project May 2012
• Bid Award to Town Council June 2012
• Begin Construction July 2012
• Complete Construction July 2013
Project 1B – In order to facilitate the required pumping capacity at the Custer Road Pump
Station, an additional water line is needed to distribute the water from the pump station to the
Town’s water system. Currently there is only one water line from the pump station and it can
handle approximately 6 MGD of pumping capacity. The addition of another large distribution
water line from the pump station is recommended in the capital improvements plan study to
allow adequate distribution of the water from the pump station to the Town’s water system. The
second water line distribution line from the Custer Road Pump Station will also serve as a
secondary service line to the Town’s water system. If the existing water line from the pump
station to Coit Road were to break or need maintenance, the Town would be without water
service.
Page 6 of 8
On December 13, 2011, the Town Council approved a design contract with Freese and Nichols
for the design of an additional water line from the pump station to the Town’s water system.
The specifics for this water line is:
• Design of approximately 11,150 feet of 30-inch treated water pipeline extending from the
Town’s pump station northwest to the intersection of Prosper Trail and Coit Road.
• Design of approximately 4,300 feet of 24-inch treated water pipeline extending from the
intersection of Prosper Trail and Coit Road north to the existing 20-inch waterline
termination just south of Prosper Trail.
Since the majority of the proposed water line extending from the pump station will cross
property currently held by Landplan, Freese and Nichols will coordinate with Town staff and
Landplan on an alignment study. Design is underway and the anticipated project schedule is:
• Complete Alignment Study April 2012
• Complete Design September 2012
• Bid Project October 2012
• Bid Award to Town Council November 2012
• Begin Construction January 2013
• Complete Construction June 2013
Project 9 – The following figure was provided in the capital improvements plan study and shows
the timing for the additional elevated storage tank to serve the UPP. The design criteria
recommended for elevated storage capacity is twice the required volume needed to meet 35%
of the peak hour demand for a duration of 3 hours. The Prosper Trail Elevated Storage Tank is
anticipated to be required to be complete by the end of 2015. Funding is already allocated out
of the 2004 CO Bonds for the acquisition of the property necessary for the tank.

Project 10 – The following figure was provided in the capital improvements plan study and
shows the timing for construction of a pump station to serve the LPP.

Project 19 – The following figure was provided in the capital improvements plan study and
shows the timing for the elevated storage tanks to serve the LPP.
Recommended LPP Elevated Storage Capacity
*Assume excess capacity in the Upper Pressure Plane can be used in the Lower Pressure Plane
Page 8 of 8
At this time the Town is in discussion with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD)
on a contract to provide water service to the west side of Town or Lower Pressure Plane (LPP)
west of the BNSF RR. The timing of the construction of a pump station, ground storage tanks
and elevated storage tanks to serve the LPP in the capital improvements plan study was based
on North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) serving the LPP from the Custer Road Pump
Station site. The timing of the construction of a pump station, ground storage tanks and
elevated storage tanks to serve the LPP based on UTRWD serving the LPP is unknown.
The lists of Water Projects in the following table are the recommended projects in the capital
improvement plan study that are of immediate need as well as projects that are currently under
design. The additional water projects recommended will be closely monitored and brought back
to the Town Council in the future for funding at the appropriate time.

Re: Town Council Meeting – Tuesday March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act on a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to sign a Strategic Partnership
Agreement for Tract 1 between the Town of Prosper and Denton County Freshwater District No.
10.
Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM
1385. Included in that agreement there is a reference to the Town entering into three separate
Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
Recall that the three parcels being considered are located: 1) the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of FM 1385 and Bryan Rd., and 2) the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Fishtrap Rd. and Teel Pkwy 3) in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Hwy 380 and FM
1385 (Valero).
With each agreement, there is a separate ordinance agenda item that also must be approved.
The District has approved and signed the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement.
Budget Impact:
The Valero store location at the corner of Fm 1385 and Hwy 380 (Tract 3) is the only
commercial use that is built and active among the three tracts being considered. We do not
have any taxable sales data at this time to utilize in projecting total taxable sales for future
revenue projection. Based on our understanding of the notification process we believe that the
store will begin collecting the sales and use tax within the next 90 days, probably sooner.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM

Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
Recall that the three parcels being considered are located: 1) the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of FM 1385 and Bryan Rd., and 2) the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Fishtrap Rd. and Teel Pkwy 3) and the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Hwy 380 and
FM 1385 (Valero).
With each agreement, there is a separate ordinance agenda item that also must be approved
and follows on the March 27th agenda.
Budget Impact:
Tract 1 and Tract 2 are not currently developed therefore until they are developed the Town and
the District will not be receiving any sales tax.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Re: Town Council Meeting – Tuesday March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act on a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to sign a Strategic Partnership
Agreement for Tract 3 between the Town of Prosper and Denton County Freshwater District No.
10.
Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM
1385. Included in that agreement there is a reference to the Town entering into three separate
Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
Recall that the three parcels being considered are located: 1) the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of FM 1385 and Bryan Rd., and 2) the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Fishtrap Rd. and Teel Pkwy 3) in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Hwy 380 and FM
1385 (Valero).
With each agreement, there is a separate ordinance agenda item that also must be approved
and follows on the March 27th agenda.
Budget Impact:
Only Tract 3 is currently developed and therefore will be the only tract in the foreseeable future
that sales and use tax will be collected on. It is our understanding that the process to begin
collecting sales and use tax should take no more than 90 days.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Re: Town Council Meeting – Tuesday March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act on a Ordinance authorizing the limited purpose annexation for the purpose of
imposing sales and use tx on property known as Tract No. 1.
Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM
1385. Included in that agreement there is a reference to the Town entering into three separate
Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
Recall that the three parcels being considered are located: 1) the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of FM 1385 and Bryan Rd., and 2) the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Fishtrap Rd. and Teel Pkwy 3) in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Hwy 380 and FM
1385 (Valero).
With each agreement, there is a separate ordinance agenda item that also must be approved.
The District has approved and signed the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement.
Budget Impact:
The Valero store location at the corner of Fm 1385 and Hwy 380 (Tract 3) is the only
commercial use that is built and active among the three tracts being considered. We do not
have any taxable sales data at this time to utilize in projecting total taxable sales for future
revenue projection. Based on our understanding of the notification process we believe that the
store will begin collecting the sales and use tax within the next 30 to 60 days, probably sooner.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Re: Town Council Meeting – Tuesday March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act on a Ordinance authorizing the limited purpose annexation for the purpose of
imposing sales and use tax on property known as Tract No. 2.
Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM
1385. Included in that agreement there is a reference to the Town entering into three separate
Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
Recall that the three parcels being considered are located: 1) the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of FM 1385 and Bryan Rd., and 2) the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Fishtrap Rd. and Teel Pkwy 3) and the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Hwy 380 and
FM 1385 (Valero).
With each agreement, there is a separate ordinance agenda item that also must be approved
and follows on the March 27th agenda.
Budget Impact:
Tract 1 and Tract 2 are not currently developed therefore until they are developed the Town and
the District will not be receiving any sales tax.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

Re: Town Council Meeting – Tuesday March 27, 2012
Date: March 22, 2012
Agenda Item:
Consider and act on a Ordinance authorizing the limited purpose annexation for the purpose of
imposing sales and use tax on property known as Tract No. 3.
Description of Agenda Item:
On Tuesday December 13, 2011 the Town of Prosper entered into an Agreement with 166
Bryan Road Partners, LP for the Reduction of the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction west of FM
1385. Included in that agreement there is a reference to the Town entering into three separate
Strategic Partnership Agreements with the Denton County Fresh Water District No. 10. Holding
the two public hearings, one on February 28th and the other on March 13th are a part of the
adoption process.
The three agreements for Tracts 1, 2 and 3, all read the same, and address the collection of
sales tax and its distribution generated by commercial uses located within the District. The
Town will be or will eventually be collecting the full 2% sales tax on the parcels as they are or
will be developed. The Town will equally share the 1% sales tax collection with the District (one
half to the District, one half to the Town) with the balance of the sales tax collected (the
remaining 1%) being retained by the Town.
The term of the agreements are all fifteen (15) years with the potential of two (2) fifteen (15)
year extensions.
The District has approved and signed the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement.
Budget Impact:
The Valero store location at the corner of Fm 1385 and Hwy 380 (Tract 3) is the only
commercial use that is built and active among the three tracts being considered. We do not
have any taxable sales data at this time to utilize in projecting total taxable sales for future
revenue projection. Based on our understanding of the notification process we believe that the
store will begin collecting the sales and use tax within the next 90 days, probably sooner.
Legal Obligations and Review:
The language in the Strategic Partnership Agreements was developed by Courtney Kuykendall,
the Town’s Attorney.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
