The following table sets forth the estimated principal amount of, and interest due to maturity on,

(1) Interest is estimated based on bond market conditions as of August 11, 2020. If Proposition A
is approved by the voters, the approved bonds are currently expected to be sold in annual
installments over a 10 year period, so market conditions are likely to change over time. The
interest on the proposed bonds under Proposition A was calculated at an average rate of 3.75% in
2021 through 2022, 4.0% for 2023 through 2024 and 4.5% in 2025 and thereafter (which the Town
believes is a conservative estimate) based on market conditions as of August 11, 2020, and
therefore, the interest payable on such proposed bonds may be less than, or more than, the amounts
set forth above based on market conditions at the time of the initial sale of the proposed bonds to
be authorized under Proposition A.
(1) Excludes $49,756,271 of Town debt obligations that are secured by and payable from ad valorem
taxes, but which the Town has designated as self-sufficient as being paid from other Town
revenues, such as water and sewer system revenues.
Based on the information and assumptions provided in the table above, the Town estimates that
there will be a $0.0107 tax rate increase imposed on a residence homestead in the Town with an
appraised value of $100,000 to repay the proposed bonds, if approved. That estimate assumes (i)
10 annual issuances of bonds under Proposition A, (ii) that the bonds of each series that may be
approved under Proposition A would be sold with an annual amortization of 20 years, respectively,
(iii) growth of Town's taxable assessed valuation by between 8% and 8.6% per year for tax years
2021 through 2025, by between 5.3% and 7.2% for tax years 2026 through 2029, 5% per year for
each tax year 2030 and thereafter and (iv) that the average interest rate on the bonds does not
exceed 4.5%. The Town reserves the right not to issue all of the bonds should the bond market
and economic outlook in the Town change after the Election.
The information provided in this Document is to comply with Tex. H.B. 477 86th Leg., R.S.
(2019), which requires a voter information document for each proposition to be submitted to the
voters. Reference is made to the Voter Information Document for the Town's Propositions B and

revenues, such as water and sewer system revenues.
Based on the information and assumptions provided in the table above, the Town estimates that
there will be a $0.0536 tax rate increase imposed on a residence homestead in the Town with an
appraised value of $100,000 to repay the proposed bonds, if approved. That estimate assumes (i)
10 annual issuances of bonds under Proposition C, (ii) that the bonds of each series that may be
approved under Proposition C would be sold with an annual amortization of 20 years, respectively,
(iii) growth of Town's taxable assessed valuation by between 8% and 8.6% per year for tax years
2021 through 2025, by between 5.3% and 7.2% for tax years 2026 through 2029, 5% per year for
each tax year 2030 and thereafter and (iv) that the average interest rate on the bonds does not
exceed 4.5%. The Town reserves the right not to issue all of the bonds should the bond market
and economic outlook in the Town change after the Election.
