TRANSCRIPT

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Town of Westlake for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communication device. This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

� � � � � �October�1,�2009� ��Honorable�Mayor�and�Town�Council:��

INTRODUCTION��I�am�pleased�to�present,�on�behalf�of�the�Town’s�staff�Leadership�Team,�the�Town�of�Westlake’s�Adopted� FY� 2009�2010� budget� totaling� $12,435,855� (including� $1,729,206� transfers� in� from�fund�balance� for�operating,�debt� service,�capital�projects,�major�maintenance�and�equipment�replacement�needs)�for�all�funds.��The� FY� 2009�2010� municipal� budget� was� prepared� utilizing� these� basic� assumptions� and�approaches:���� A�balanced�budget�that�makes�as�its�first�priority�providing�Town�residents�and�businesses�

with�basic,�but�high�quality,�Town�services.�

�� Due� to� a� decline� in� sales� tax� receipts� and� other� revenue� sources,� a� portion� of� the� fund�balance� in� the� General� Fund� is� to� be� used� to� balance� this� budget,� while� attempting� to�minimize�the�use�of�this�fund�balance�as�much�as�practical.�

�� Provide�essential�on�going�support�for�Westlake�Academy,�both�direct�and�indirect.�

�� No�municipal�(Town)�ad�valorem�(property)�tax�levy.�

�� The�only�capital�improvement�projects�recommended�in�FY�09�10�are�Utility�Fund�projects,�self�funded�projects,�and�the�Westlake�Academy�water�well;�all�others�have�shifted�one�year�forward�in�the�Five�(5)�Year�Capital�Improvement�Plan.�

Due�to�a�significant�decline�in�General�Fund�revenues,�this���FY�09�10�Budget�uses�$784,553�of�the� fund� balance� in� the� General� Fund� to� cover� expenditures.� � Base� expenditures� (without�service�level�adjustments)�have�been�reduced�to�close�to�FY�08�09�levels.���In�fact,�the�operating�portion�of� the� � �FY�09�10�Budget� is�7%� less� than�the�Estimated�FY�08�09�Budget.� �However,�General� Fund� revenues� are� still� not� adequate� and� require� use� of� fund� balance� in� FY� 09�10.��The� Utility� Fund� is� incurring� a� large� rate� increase� from� out� sewage� treatment� provider,� the�Trinity� River� Authority� (TRA),� from�whom� we� received� notice� of� this� wholesale� price� increase�just� prior� to� this� FY� 09�10� Budget.� � � Further� information� about� this� sewage� treatment� price�increase�is�set�out�below.���

BUDGET�PREPARATION�PARAMETERS�AND�“SCRUBBING”��As�this�FY�2009�2010�Budget�was�prepared,�certain�assumptions,�parameters,�and�approaches�were� utilized� in� order� to:� � a.)� easily� track� � cost� increases� as� they� relate� to� maintaining� or�increasing�service�levels,�b.)�identify��use�of�fund�balances�and�inter�fund�transfers,�c.)�delineate�the��amount�for�employee�compensation�increases,�and�d.)�understand�the�approach�used�for�revenue�estimating.��These�approaches�and�parameters�are:���� Continued�to�pursue�allocation�of�funds�on�hand�towards�major�building�and�infrastructure�

maintenance�as�well�as�for�vehicle�and�equipment�replacement.�

�� Maintained� present� fund� balances� to� exceed� policy� requirements,� however,� as� stated�above,� the� General� Fund� requires� use� of� some� its� fund� balance� in� FY� 09�10� to� off�set�expenses.�

�� Conservative�revenue�estimating�that�identified�one�time�and�on�going�revenue�increases.�

�� Estimated�expenditures�for�current�levels�of�service�(adjusted�for�actual�spending�as�well�as�deducting�one�time�expenses)� in�FY�08�09�were�identified�and�these�became�the�FY�09�10�base�budget.�

�� Increases�in�the�current�level�of�service�anticipated�due�to�inflation�and�other�cost�increases�were�identified�and�kept�separate�from�the�current�level�of�service�base�budget�in�the�form�of�“current�service�level�adjustments”�(SLA’s).�

�� Resources�to�provide�average�market�pay�adjustments�of�2.4%�of�total�salary�cost.� �This� is�the�same�overall�percentage�adjustment�as�that�received�by�Academy�personnel.��It�should�be�noted�that�this�adjustment�is�consistent�with�the�approach�used�for�Academy�personnel�that�are�closer�to�market�than�municipal�operations�personnel.�

�� “Expanded� or� new� levels� of� service”� were� also� identified,� kept� separate,� and� held� to� a�minimum�due�to�economic�conditions.��

�� Delayed� almost� all� general� government� capital� improvement� projects� (i.e.� �� streets,�drainage,� parks,� trails,� public� buildings)� unless� those� projects� have� an� identified� project�specific�funding�source�already�in�place.�

�� All� costs� for� base� budgets,� service� level� adjustments� due� to� cost� increases/inflation,� and�expanded/new� service� level� adjustments� were� “scrubbed”� and� extensively� analyzed� and�discussed�in�budget�review�sessions�with�the�Town�Manager�and�Director�of�Finance.��This�is�ensures�maximum�efficiency,�effectiveness,�and�utilization�of�both�additional�and�requested�financial� resources.� � We� did� this� while� having� our� focus� being� on� the� sustainability� of� the�request�as�well�as�the�fact�that�our�economy�is�going�through�a�recession.�

�� The�sewer�portion�of�the�Utility�Fund�was�prepared�based�on�current�wholesale�TRA�rates;�however,� recently�we�have�been�notified�that�as�of�December�1,�2009�those�rates�will�be�increased� by� 39%.� � This� does� not� indicate� a� “spike”� that� will� be� reduced� in� future� years.��Rates� are� expected� to� stay� around� $3.9� per� 1,000� gallon� for� the� next� five� years.� � Staff�recommends�adopting�the�Utility�Fund�Budget�for�FY�09�10�based�on�current�rates�and�then�examine�the�feasibility�of�some�type�of�series�of�step�increases�in�our�retail�sewer�rates�over�time�to�off�set�this�wholesale�price�increase�from�TRA.���

�MILESTONES�AND�STRATEGIC�ACHIEVEMENTS�IN�FY�2008�2009�

Before�covering�the�budget�for�FY�09�10,�it�is�important�to�recognize�the�strategic�priorities�and�milestones�achieved�by�the�Town�of�Westlake�organization�in�FY�08�09.���This���budget�continues�to�build�upon�the�Council’s�strategic�planning�framework�begun�in�FY�08�09�to�identify�priorities�and�determine�funding�levels�for�FY�09�10.���

FY�09�10�BUDGET�THEME:��“CRITICAL�CHALLENGES,�CRITICAL�CHOICES”�

To� provide� strong� focus,� it� is� useful� in� public� budgeting� to� identify� a� theme� to� capture� the�essence�of�what�we�are�addressing�as�we�prepare�and�consider�a���budget.��For�FY�2009�2010,�I�would�offer�as�the�theme�for�this�Town�budget,�“Critical�challenges,�Critical�choices”.�

There� is� no� question� that� Texas,� and� especially� the� Fort� Worth�Dallas� Metroplex,� has� fared�better�than�most�of�the�country�in�the�current�recession.��Nonetheless,�the�Town�of�Westlake�has�been�affected�by�the�current�economic�downturn,�as�have�other�municipalities�across�our�area,� state,�and� nation.� � This� current� economic�downturn� has� negatively� affected� our� Town’s�budget� due� to� our� heavy� reliance� on� sales� tax� revenue� to� fund� Town� services� and� our� debt�obligations.� � Sales� tax� can� be� a� very� viable� revenue� source� during� stable� economic� times.��However,� since� it� is� a� volitional� tax� (i.e.� �� paid� when� someone� decides� to� buy� a� service� or�product),�during�economic�down�turns�it�often�decreases.�

We�may�not�like�the�circumstances�we�find�ourselves�in,�but�we�have�a�choice�in�terms�of�how�we�wish�to�respond�to�the�financial�challenges�created�by�the�current�economic�conditions.��We�can�decide�to�ask�the�question,�do�we�have�a�problem�or�do�we�have�an�opportunity?��How�we�respond�to�that�question�will�have�much�to�do�with�Westlake’s�community�vitality�as�a�premier�knowledge� based� community� in� the� years� to� come.� � We� will� examine� that� question� in� this�budget�transmittal�letter�as�we�face�our�“critical�challenges�and�critical�choices.”���

GOVERNING�AND�MANAGING�FOR�OUTCOMES��In�FY�08�09,�the�Town�began�moving�its� leadership�and�management�systems�to�a�framework�utilizing� a� more� program� based� budget� designed� to� link� desired� outcomes� with� budgeted�resources�and�accountability�for�results.��This�FY�09�10�Budget�represents�the�next�step�in�this�continuous� improvement� process.� � This� budget� document� utilizes� a� systemic� framework�designed� to� link� together� critical� governance� and� management� decision� making� tools.� � This�system�is�called�“Governing�and�Managing�for�Outcomes”�and�is�designed�to�integrate:��

�� strategic�planning�

�� five� (5)� year� financial� forecasting,� budgeting,� and� performance� measurement� linked� to�priorities,�objectives,�and�outcomes�

�� reporting�to�monitor�progress�in�outcome�achievement�and�accountability�for�results�

�� aligning�resources�to�prioritized�outcomes�

�� citizen� surveys� to� gauge� service� satisfaction� levels� with� Town� services� and� resident�willingness�to�pay�for�those�services�

�� long�term�approach�to�ensure�financial�sustainability�

�� maintaining�cores�services�

�� five�(5)�year�capital�improvement�planning�

This�budget�focuses�on�the�next�twelve�months�of�the�Town’s�future.� �However,�the�Council’s�initiative� to� pursue� a� strategic� planning� approach� to� the� Town’s� governance� is� critical� to�providing� the� Council,� and� the� community,� with� a� multi�year� focus� that� couples� strategic�priority�setting�with�good�financial�stewardship�decisions�that�achieve�the�long�term�vision�set�by� the� Council� for� Westlake.� � The� entire� Five� (5)� Year� Strategic� Plan� recently� adopted� by� the�Town�Council�is�set�out�in�a�separate�section�of�this�budget�document.��The�chart�in�this�section�of�the�budget�document� illustrates,�via�the�three�focus�areas�of�our�Town’s�vision�statement,�which� key� result� areas� within� those� vision� focus� points� the� departmental� and� fund� budgets�address.��This�chart�gives�a�good�visual�representation�as�to�how�the�Town’s�financial�resources�are�allocated�in�terms�of�vision�points�and�their�key�result�areas�(i.e.�–�outcomes)�that�we�will�focus�on�in�FY�09�10.�����������������

���� Westlake� is� a� one� of� a� kind� community� –� an� oasis� with� rolling� hills,�grazing� longhorns,�and�soaring� red�tailed�hawks,� located� in� the�heart�of�the�Fort�Worth�Dallas�metropolitan�area.��

���� Inviting� neighborhoods� and� architecturally� vibrant� corporate� campuses�find�harmony�among�our�meandering�roads�and�trails,� lined�with�native�oaks�and�stone�walls.���

���� We� are� leaders.� � In� education� we� are� known� for� our� innovative�partnerships�between�the�Town�Owned�Charter�School�and�its�corporate�neighbors.� � We� are� environmental� stewards� –� exemplifying� the� highest�standards.�

���� Hospitality� finds� its� home� in� Westlake.� � As� a� community,� we� are� fully�involved�and� invested� in�our� rich�heritage,�vibrant�present�and�exciting,�sustainable�future.�

One�of�the�outcome�strategies�set�out�in�the�Town’s�Strategic�Plan�is�to�“Establish�a�strategy�for�achieving� long�term� financial� sustainability� for� the� Town� government,� including� Westlake�Academy.”��As�a�part�of�the�systemic�framework�of�governing�and�managing�for�outcomes,�we�know� from�the� regularly�updated�and�Town�Council� reviewed�Five� (5)�year�Financial�Forecast�that� by� FY� 12�13,� the� Town’s� present� revenue� sources� and� fund� balances� will� not� be� able� to�keep�pace�with�projected�expenditures.��The�most�recent�Five�(5)�Year�Financial�Forecast�is�set�out�in�its�entirety�in�a�separate�section�of�this�budget.��Here’s�an�excerpt�from�this�Forecast�that�illustrates�the�seriousness�of�the�Town’s�financial�challenges:����������������

Excerpt�from�Five�Year�Forecast��While�both�revenues�and�expenditures�are�conservatively�estimated�in�this�Financial�Forecast,�it�contains� important� warning� “sign� posts”� that� cannot� be� ignored.� � As� mentioned� above�regarding� our� Strategic� Plan,� we� have� time� to� address� the� outcome� strategy� of� financial�sustainability�for�the�Town.��However,�we�do�not�have�an�abundance�of�time�and�we�must�use�that�time�wisely.��Very�importantly,�this�Financial�Forecast�and�Strategic�Plan�mandates�that�we�as� a� Town� government� begin� critical� conversations� with� the� Westlake� community� so� they�understand� the� seriousness� of� this� issue� and� understand� the� choices� that� are� available� to�address� it.� � This� must� take� place� if� we� are� to� keep� moving� forward� as� a� Town� government�toward�the�Council’s�vision�for�Westlake.��Citizen�understanding�of�these�critical�challenges�and�critical�choices�is�essential�to�the�Council’s�ability�to�address�them.��

IMPORTANT�CONVERSATIONS��In�his�well�known�book,�Good�to�Great,�author�Jim�Collins� identifies�factors�that�have�allowed�businesses� to� have� high� level� sustained� performance� over� time.� � He� has� also� written� a�monograph�entitled,�Good�to�Great�in�the�Public�Sector,�where�he�shows�how�the�concepts�and�ideas� in� Good� to� Great� transfer� from� the� private� to� the� public� sector.� � In� looking� at� high�performance�organizations,�Collins�found�that�one�of�the�keys�to�their�success�was�their�ability�to�“confront�the�brutal�facts,�yet�never�lose�faith”�in�the�midst�of�their�“current�reality.”���So�what�are�the�“brutal�facts”�regarding�our�“current�reality?”������� The�Town�relies�primarily�on�sales�tax�and�one�time�permits/fees�to�fund�its�operation�and�

debt�service�costs.�

�� Sales� tax� used� to� fund� General� Fund� services� is� declining� due� to� reduced� business�purchasing�activity�and�at�least�one�significant�business�which�had�generated�significant�sale�tax�revenue�being�purchased�and�closed.�

�� Retail�development�that�could�help�increase�sales�tax�revenue�has�not�occurred�to�date�and�based�on�retail�industry�conditions,�is�unlikely�to�occur�in�the�near�to�medium�term.�

�� A�significant�source�of�sales�tax�is�“situs�agreements”�that�generate�sales�tax�revenue�from�construction� materials� purchased� for� major� economic� development� projects� such� as�Deloitte�and�Fidelity,�however,�these�sales�tax�revenues�are�one�time�revenues.�

�� Hotel/motel�occupancy�tax�revenue�has�not�grown�at�an�appreciable�rate�due�primarily�to�decreased�business�travel,�even�though�the�Marriott�Solana�expanded�their�room�count�two�years�ago.�

�� Residential�building�permits�have�decreased�due�to�the�current�economic�climate�

�� Large� building� permits� from� major� economic� development� projects� such� as� Fidelity� and�Deloitte�have�helped�fund�Town�services;�however,�those�economic�development�projects�take�years� to�develop�and�once�Deloitte�has�paid� its�building�permit,� there�are�no� further�such�projects�even� in�the�preliminary�planning�stages.� �Again,�these�are�one�time�revenue�sources.�

�� In� FY� 05�06� Westlake� voters� approved� dissolving� the� Town’s� 4A� half� cent� economic�development� sales� tax� and� replacing� it� with� a� half� cent� sales� tax� for� “property� tax�reduction”.� � This� provided� $2.2� million� that� was� transferred� to� the� General� Fund� and�significantly�increased�the�fund�balance�in�that�fund.��This�funding�infusion,�while�increasing�

��

the�General�Fund’s�fund�balance,�has�perhaps�masked�the�volatility�and�lack�of�diversity�of�the�Town’s�on�going�revenue�structure.�

�� Fixed�debt�service�costs�are�a�significant�part�of�the�Town’s�costs�and�were�increased�in�FY�07�08� with� the� issuance� of� $2.5� million� of� general� obligation� bonds� for� the� new� Sam� and�Margaret�Lee�Arts�&�Sciences�Center�at�Westlake�Academy.�

�� Operating�costs�have�increased�to�fund�Town�services,�including�Westlake�Academy,�as�the�Town’s�population,�as�well�as�the�Academy’s�campus�and�enrollment�growth.� �These�costs�have�also�grown�due�to�natural�inflationary�increases.�

�� Funding�for�capital�projects�identified�in�the�Town’s�Five�(5)�year�Capital�Improvement�Plan�are� inadequate� to� meet� basic� general� government� infrastructure� needs� for� streets,�drainage,�parks,�trails,�and�public�buildings.�

�� The� Town’s� land� use� plan,� and� the� zoning� that� implements� that� land� use� plan,� features�corporate� office� campuses� and� large� lot� single� family� residential� as� the� primary� land� use�pattern� that� is� desired� for� Westlake.� � Both� of� these� land� uses,� particularly� the� office� land�use,�lend�themselves�more�to�creating�a�strong�ad�valorem�tax�base,�not�a�strong�sales�tax�base.� �Westlake’s�estimated�2009�taxable�assessed�valuation� in�Westlake� is�approximately�$730� million� net� of� abatements,� a� large� ad� valorem� tax� base� for� a� community� 6.2� square�miles�in�land�area�and�a�population�of�703�residents.�

Clearly,� based� on� these� “brutal� facts”,� the� Town’s� business� model,� while� having� worked�previously,�shows� it�will�no� longer�work�based�upon�current�and�projected�economic�realities�and� assumptions.� � Under� the� Town’s� present� revenue� stream,� this� business� model� is� not�sustainable�beyond�the�next�three�(3)�fiscal�years.��Realigning�this�model�becomes�our�critical�challenge�and�choice.��Collins�maintains�that�“leadership�does�not�begin�just�with�vision.��It�begins�with�getting�people�to�confront�the�brutal�facts�and�to�act�on�the�implications”.��These�realities�need�to�be�part�of�a�critical� community� conversation� and� dialogue� so� that� Westlake� residents� and� businesses�understand�the�choices�before�us�and�the�possible�consequences�of�those�choices�so�they�can�make�informed�decision�on�how�to�move�forward.��So,�how�do�we�begin�to�move�forward�as�we�deal�with�these�“brutal�facts”?��In� their� book,� The� Price� of� Government,� authors� David� Osborne� and� Peter� Hutchinson� offer�some� valuable� insights� into� answering� this� question� as� it� relates� to� Westlake.� � The� authors’�state:��

��

“Native� Americans� have� many� sayings,� and� one� of� the� wisest� is� this:� � When�you’re�riding�a�dead�horse,�the�best�strategy�is�to�dismount.��You�don’t�change�riders.� � You� don’t� reorganize� the� herd.� � You� don’t� put� together� a� blue�ribbon�commission�of�veterinarians.� �And�you�don’t�spend�more�money�on�feed.� �You�get�off�and�find�yourself�a�new�horse.”�

�Perhaps� another� way� of� dealing� with� that� question� is� to� not� answer� the� question� by� using� a�business�model� to�compete� in� the� future�based�on�assumptions� that� have�not�worked� in� the�past.� � History� can� be� a� good� teacher,� but� it� often� only� shows� (with� the� benefit� of� 20/20�hindsight)� what� does� not� work,� not� what� will� work� based� on� the� situations� the� future� will�present� us.� � As� stated� earlier,� while� we� have� time� to� begin� to� address� our� current� reality,� it�cannot�be�emphasized�enough�that�we�do�not�have�a�lot�of�time.��We�cannot�afford�to�spend�this�valuable�time�pursuing�past�paradigms�that�have�proven�to�be�no�longer�viable.��What�is�that�past�paradigm?��It�is�simply�this:��a�community�cannot�be�a�premier�knowledge�based�community�with�a�superior�quality�of�life�and�sustain�that�quality�of�life�on�revenues�to�fund� services� and� debt� service� comprised� largely� of� sales� tax,� permits,� fund� transfers,� and�other� one�time� or� highly� volatile� revenue� sources� when� that� community� does� not� have� a�strong�sales�tax�base�and�development�activity�is�at�a�very�low�level.��In�The�Price�of�Government,�Osborne�and�Hutchinson�offer�“five�critical�decisions”�that�must�be�made�by�government�dealing�with�fundamental�financial�issues�that�could�help�us�create�a�new�paradigm�to�achieve�financial�sustainability:��

1. Getting�a�Grip�on�the�Problem:��Is�it�short�or�long�term?��Is�it�driven�by�revenues�or�expenses,�or�both?���

2. Setting�the�Price�of�Government:��Determining�how�much�citizens�are�willing�to�pay.�3. Setting�the�Priorities�of�Government:��Deciding�which�results�citizens�value�most.�4. Setting�the�Price�of�Each�Priority:��Deciding�how�much�the�government�will�spend�to�

produce�each�of�these�outcomes.�5. Purchasing� the�Priorities:� �Deciding�how�best� to�produce� the�desired� results�at� the�

price�citizens�are�willing�to�pay.��While�we�have�not�addressed�all�these�critical�issues�or�answered�all�these�questions�yet,�using�our�Financial�Forecast�and�Direction�Finders�(citizens)�survey,�we�can�begin�to�address�some�of�them.��

�� Getting� a� Grip� on� the� Problem:� � Is� it� short� or� long� term?� � Is� it� driven� by� revenues� or�expenses,�or�both?���

��

Status:��As�shown�above,�our�Financial�Forecast�shows�us�that�this�is�primarily�a�revenue�problem,� although� expenses� can� and� should� also� be� addressed� also.� � Our� revenue�sources� are� not� diverse� and� are� declining.� � This� is� both� a� short� term� and� long� term�problem.�

��� Setting�the�Price�of�Government:��Determining�how�much�citizens�are�willing�to�pay.�

Status:��DirectionFinders�gives�us�a�good�road�map�to�deal�with�this�critical�issue.��Since�the� Town’s� government� has� been� funded� primarily� with� sales� taxes� and� building�permits/fees,� in� one� sense,� Westlake� residents� have� not� had� to� directly� pay� for� the�services� provided� by� the� Town� (with� the� exception� of� water,� sewer,� and� solid� waste).��Yet,�DirectionFinders�provides�good�information�on�what�they�are�willing�or�not�willing�to�pay�for�as�shown�in�these�charts:���

��

�� Setting�the�Priorities�of�Government:��Deciding�which�results�citizens�value�most.��

Status:��Again,�DirectionFinders�is�a�good�tool�for�the�Council�to�help�set�these�priorities:��

��

��

���

�� �

��

�� Setting� the� Price� of� Each� Priority:� � Deciding� how� much� the� government� will� spend� to�produce�each�of�these�outcomes.��

Status:� � This� is� a� policy� decision� that� must� be� made� by� the� Council� over� the� next� two�fiscal�years�if�we�are�to�achieve�financial�sustainability�per�our�Strategic�Plan.�

��� Purchasing�the�Priorities:��Deciding�how�best�to�produce�the�desired�results�at�the�price�

citizens�are�willing�to�pay.��

Status:� �Some�of�this�has�been�done�in�the�past,�but�even�more�will�need�to�be�done�in�terms�of� looking�at�all�methods�of�service�delivery� including�direct�service�delivery�and�out�sourcing�of�service�delivery.��Additionally,�we�may�need�to�set�purchasing�“ceilings”�(i.e.���the�most�we�are�willing�to�spend)�on�some�services�such�as�Westlake�Academy,�if�for�no�other�reason�than�due�to�our�limited�financial�resources.�

���

STRATEGIC�PRIORITIES��POSITIONING�OURSELVES�FOR�THE�FUTURE��Based�on�our�financial�forecast,�FY�2009�2010�will�be�a�pivotal�year�for�the�Town�of�Westlake.��With�a�conservative� revenue� forecast,� conservative�expenditures,�and�making�use�of� some�of�the�General�Fund’s�fund�balance�from�the�$2�million�Deloitte�University�building�permit�(one�time� revenue),� we� can� weather� the� next� fiscal� year.� � And,� if� we� make� good� use� of� the� next�twelve� months� to� engage� Westlake� citizens� and� businesses� in� a� conversation� and� dialogue�regarding�the�choices�in�front�of�us,�then�FY�2010�2011�will�be�the�time�where�we�can�begin�to�position� ourselves� to� achieve� our� strategic� outcome� of� financial� sustainability.� � As� we� move�forward�many�more�questions�and�areas�will�need�to�be�examined�including:��

�� What�are�the�“core”�services�that�the�Town�should�offer�and�what�is�the�best�way�to�offer�them?�

�� What�level�of�financial�support�can�we�provide�for�Westlake�Academy�versus�the�Academy�pursuing�other�funding�through�the�Foundation�or�other�means?�

�� What’s� the� best� way� to� engage� the� greater� Westlake� community� in� these� critical�conversations�and�dialogue?�

�� What�do�we�want�the�Town�of�Westlake�to�look�like�and�be�fifty�years�from�now?��This� all� must� be� done� as� we� ask� the� brutal� questions,� but� never� lose� faith� in� the� Town� of�Westlake�as�a�premier�place�to�live,�work,�and�be�educated.��That�is�why�the�theme�for�the���FY�2009�2010�Budget�is�“Critical�Challenges,�Critical�Choices”.��With�thoughtful�consideration�and�dialogue,�we�can�turn�these�challenges�into�opportunities.��

CLOSING�COMMENTS��In�over�thirty�years�of�public�service,� I�have�never�written�a�budget�transmittal� letter� like�this�one.� � � I� have� come� to� the� conclusion� that� the� reason� I� have� not� written� something� like� this�before�is�that�Westlake�is�a�very�unique�community.��While�we�are�small,�our�small�size�allows�us� to� do� many� things� larger� communities� cannot� do.� � This� gives� us� a� huge� advantage� and�opportunity�to�set�the�standard�for�a�premier�community�quality�of�life�in�both�education�and�municipal�services.��But,�setting�a�standard�for�an�excellent�quality�of�life�comes�at�a�price,�and�we�will�have�to�determine�what�that�price�is,�as�well�as�what�Westlake�residents�are�willing�to�pay�to�achieve�it.��Even�with�the�financial�challenges�of�the�current�economic�climate,� this� � �budget� is�built�on�a�conservative�fiscal�philosophy�resting�on�a�solid�financial�stewardship�foundation.��It�maintains�existing� levels� of� service.� � And,� in� concert� with� the� Council’s� strategic� priorities,� advances�others,�all�without�the�use�of�a�municipal�property�tax�and� in�a�time�of�economic�down�turn.��This� FY� 09�10� Budget� gives� us� an� exciting� opportunity� to� move� Westlake� further� toward� its�

vision�of�being�a�one�of�a�kind,�premier,�knowledge�based�community.��The�Town�of�Westlake�does� not� create� wealth,� but� instead� only� spends� public� dollars� collected� on� behalf� of� our�citizens.��We�exist�as�a�municipal�corporation�for�one�reason�alone:�to�prioritize�and�deliver�the�best� services� possible� with� the� resources� provided� to� achieve� an� exceptional� quality� of� life.��With�the�Council,�Staff,�and�Community�working�in�tandem�as�a�team,�we�can�achieve�much.��A�major�part�of�that�team�work�in�FY�09�10�will�be�engaging�Westlake�citizens�in�this�process�of�determining�the�not�only�how�their�Town�government�will�be�funded,�but�what�this�Town�will�be� and� will� become.� � Osborne� and� Hutchinson� noted� this� about� citizens� and� their� view� of�funding�government:��

“…they� (citizens)� want� government� to� provide� what� only� the� public� sector� can�provide…But�they�want�their�money’s�worth.� �They�want�value� for�dollars.� �When�they�can’t� get� it,� they� often� opt� for� tax� cuts� and� private� services.� � When� they� do� get� value�from�public�institutions,�however,�they�are�often�willing�to�invest�in�them.”�

�And�that’s�our�challenge,�making�sure�that�Westlake�citizens�have�that�confidence�in�us�and�feel�they�are�getting�value�from�their�Town�government�so�they�are�willing�to�invest�in�the�services�we�provide.���In�closing,�I�would�like�to�recognize�and�commend�the�staff�Leadership�Team�for�their�concerted�efforts�in�putting�this�FY�09�10�Budget�together�for�Council�consideration.��The�Leadership�Team�recognizes�the�challenges�we�face�financially�and�they�submitted�conservative�budget�requests�given� this� situation.� � Special� recognition� and� thanks� are� due� to� Director� of� Finance,� Debbie�Piper,� and� Finance� Assistant,� Jaymi� Ford,� for� their� efforts� in� putting� together� this� budget�document.��It�has�required�long�hours�to�make�this�not�only�a�financial�document,�but�a�policy�document� that� is� easy� for� our� citizens� to� read� and� understand.� � I� appreciate� their�dedication�and�the�effort�they�have�invested�in�this�process.��Finally,�my�thanks�and�appreciation�also�go�to�the�Town�Council� for� the�countless�volunteer�hours�you� invest� in�governing�Westlake� for� the�betterment�of�all.���Sincerely�yours,��
