CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS
FINANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012 at 7:30 a.m.
UNIVERSITY PARK CITY HALL
SECOND FLOOR—CITY COUNCIL OVERFLOW ROOM
M I N U T E S
Attending: City representatives:
Atwood, John Austin, Kent--Director of Finance
Cinatl, Cynthia
Coleman, Russ
Groves, Irving Absent:
Noble, Julie Gilbert, Gwen
Reeder, Dotti Thompson, Brad
Russell, Thomas
Stuart, John–Chair
Touchstone, Neill
Wilson, Claude
1. Call to order.
Chair John Stuart called the meeting to order at 7:35 a.m. and thanked Julie Noble for the
fresh donuts.
2. Review and approve minutes of April 12, 2012, Committee meeting.
Dotti Reeder moved approval of the April 12, 2012, Committee meeting minutes. Russ
Coleman seconded, and the motion passed 10-0.
3. Review and make recommendation regarding City investment policy.
Kent Austin provided a brief overview of the City’s investment policy. The Texas Public
Funds Investment Act, or PFIA (Ch. 2256 of the Texas Government Code), requires that
the policy be reviewed and renewed by the City Council each year. The Finance Advisory
Committee reviews the policy and makes a recommendation regarding adoption to the
Council. The policy was last approved by City Council resolution on June 21, 2011.
In 2011, the State Legislature amended the PFIA via HB2226, and the City’s policy was
modified accordingly. For 2012, staff is proposing no changes to the City’s investment
policy, and because the Legislature is not in session until 2013, no amendments are needed
as a result of State action.
Discussion ensued. Committee members noted that section 1-3, “Scope,” included the
following sentence: “This Investment Policy of the City of University Park shall include
all investment activities of any fund of the City, except for the Firefighters’ Relief and
Retirement Fund, which is covered by a separate policy.” To reinforce the position that the
Page 7 of 94
2
FRRF is wholly separate from the City, the Committee proposed the following language:
“This Investment Policy of the City of University Park shall include all investment
activities of any fund of the City. The Firefighters’ Relief and Retirement Fund is not a
City fund and is covered by a separate policy.” With this modification, the Committee
recommended approval of the investment policy 10-0.
4. Follow up firefighter retirement fund discussion of 4/12/2012 and special meeting of
5/31/2012.
John Stuart said that subgroup of the Finance Advisory Committee (himself, Russ
Coleman, Gwen Gilbert, and Claude Wilson) met May 31st with City Attorney Rob Dillard
and City staff members. Claude Wilson provided a recap of the meeting. Two problems
exist when examining the relationship between the City and the Fund: 1) the unclear nature
of the City’s liability for the Fund, and 2) how the Fund is reported, especially on the
City’s audited financial statements. While no law or agreement exists that assigns City
responsibility for the Fund, the City nonetheless is compelled by Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) to include the FRRF in its audited financial statements.
This creates the impression that the FRRF is part of the City. Further, proposed changes by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) would require cities to place
pension unfunded accrued liabilities on their balance sheet; currently, this is included in the
footnotes section, and the net pension obligation (or asset) for the past year is included on
the balance sheet.
The Committee expressed support for Controller Tom Tvardzik’s sample disclaimer
language, such as: “The FRRF is not part of the City’s reporting entity because the City
does not have fiduciary responsibility for the FRRF assets, does not control the FRRF, nor
is the FRRF fiscally dependent on the City, since the Board of Trustees has the ability to
complete certain essential fiscal events (such as the determination of employee contribution
rates) without approval by the City, and the Board is not appointed by the City Council.”
Stuart said that overall, the Finance Advisory Committee objects to the inclusion of the
FRRF in the City’s financial statements and continues to maintain that the City is not liable
for the FRRF’s fiscal health.
5. Receive updates:
A. Establishment of Library Construction Fund and Library Department
Kent Austin said the Finance Department is setting up a new fund specifically to
account for construction of the new City library in the five-story building in the Plaza at
University Park. Proceeds from the Byrd Estate ($1,274,954) will be moved to the new
fund, as will the $875,000 finish-out allowance negotiated with the developer. A new
General Fund department is being established for library operations. For the library’s
first year, a $600,000 budget is planned, with half the offsetting revenue provided by
the City and half by the Friends of the Library.
B. Status of water and wastewater rate study project
Austin said he was drafting a Request for Proposals (RFP) to help select a consultant to
Page 8 of 94
3
perform a water and wastewater rate study. He asked for volunteers to participate in a
steering committee that would help select the consultant, provide input regarding the
study, and recommend outcomes. John Atwood, Irving Groves, and Neill Touchstone
agreed to participate. Austin said he plans to release the RFP by the end of June.
C. Outlook for FY2013 budget
Austin said FY2013 budget preparation was underway. He said property values are up
2% initially but that this will likely fall to about 0% once the tax base number is
certified by DCAD in July. He said sales tax was running ahead of budget and ahead of
last year.
Austin distributed a one-page City Finance Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-
Threats (SWOT) Analysis chart, which was developed in preparation for City Council
member briefings occurring that same day, June 7. The group suggested adding the
word “potential” in front of Threat item number 4, “GASB accounting standard change
to require pension liability on balance sheet.”
6. New business.
There was no new business.
7. Schedule meeting dates for 2012-2013.
Subject to change later, the 2012-2013 Committee meeting dates are:
x August 9, 2012
x October 11, 2012
x December 13, 2012
x February 7, 2013
x April 11, 2013
x June 13, 2013
All meetings are Thursdays at 7:30 a.m.
8. Adjourn.
The meeting adjourned at 8:44 a.m.

PREFACE
The purpose of this document is to establish specific investment policy and strategy
guidelines for the City of University Park, Texas (“City”) to achieve the goals of safety,
liquidity, and yield for all investment activity. The City shall review its investment
strategies and policy not less than annually. This policy serves to satisfy the statutory
requirement, specifically the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas
Government Code (the “Act”), to define, adopt and review a formal investment strategy
and policy. All available funds shall be invested in conformance with these legal and
administrative guidelines.
Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. An
aggressive cash management and investment policy will be pursued to take advantage of
investment interest as viable and material revenue to all operating and capital funds. The
City’s portfolio shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust
and consistent with state and federal law.
Investments shall be made with the primary considerations of:
x Preservation of capital and protection of principal
x Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet operating needs
x Security of City funds and investments
x Diversification of investments to avoid unreasonable or foreseeable risks
x Maximization of return on the portfolio
SECTION 1: PURPOSE
1-1. Authorization
This Policy is authorized by the City Council in accordance with Section 5 of the Public
Funds Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code), which requires the
adoption of a formal written Investment Policy.
1-2. Goals
The primary goal of the City of University Park’s Investment Policy shall be: 1) to ensure
the safety of all funds entrusted to the City; 2) to maintain the availability of those funds
for the payment of all necessary obligations of the City; and 3) to provide for the
investment of all funds, not immediately required, in interest-bearing securities or pooled
investment products. The safety of the principal invested shall always be the primary
concern.
1-3. Scope
This Investment Policy of the City of University Park shall include all investment
activities of any fund of the City. The Firefighters’ Relief and Retirement Fund is not a
City fund and is covered by a separate policy. In addition to this Policy, bond funds,
including debt service and reserve funds, shall be managed by their governing resolution
Page 15 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
2
and federal law, including the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation. City
funds will be pooled for investment purposes.
1-4. Review and Amendment
This Policy may be amended from time to time as the City Council may so desire or as
State Law may require. This Policy, which includes strategies for each fund or pooled
fund group, shall be adopted by resolution, rule, or ordinance by the City Council and
shall be reviewed annually by the City Council. The fact that the Investment Policy has
been reviewed and that any amendments have been made must be recorded by resolution,
rule or ordinance.
SECTION 2: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The City shall manage and invest its cash with four objectives, listed in order of priority:
Preservation and Safety of Principal; Liquidity; Yield; and Prudence. All investments
shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the public trust and consistent
with State and Local Law.
Cash management is defined as the process of managing monies in order to increase cash
availability and interest earnings on short-term investment of idle cash. The City shall
maintain a comprehensive cash management program that includes the prudent
investment of available cash.
2-1. Preservation and Safety of Principal
The primary objective of City investment activity is the preservation of principal in the
overall portfolio. Each investment transaction shall be conducted in a manner designed to
avoid principal losses, whether they are from securities defaults or erosion of market
value. The manner in which the City ensures safety of principal is presented in Section
4.2, “Ensuring Safety of Principal.”
2-1-1 Credit Risk
The City will minimize credit risk, which is the risk of loss due to the failure of the
security issuer or backer by:
a. Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in section 4-1 of this
Investment Policy.
b. Prequalifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and
advisors with which the City will do business in accordance with Section 4-2-
1-1.
c. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses
from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be
minimized.
Page 16 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
3
2-1-2 Interest Rate Risk
The City will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk that the market value of
securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates, by:
a. Structuring the portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for
ongoing operations.
b. Investing operating funds primarily in short-term securities, money market
mutual funds, or similar investment pools and by limiting the average maturity
of the portfolio in accordance with this policy.
2-2. Maintenance of Adequate Liquidity
The City investment portfolio shall be structured so that the City is able to meet all
obligations in a timely manner. Maintenance of adequate liquidity is described in Section
4.3, “Ensuring Liquidity.”
2-3. Return on Investments
Consistent with State law, the City shall seek to optimize return on investments within
the constraints of safety and liquidity. Investments (excluding assets managed under
separate investment programs, such as in arbitrage restrictive programs) shall be made in
permitted obligations at yields equal to or greater than the bond equivalent yield on
United States Treasury obligations of comparable maturity. Other appropriate
performance measures may be established by the Investment Committee. Specific
policies regarding investment rate of return are presented in Section 4.4, “Achieving
Investment Return Objectives.”
For bond issues to which Federal yield or arbitrage restrictions apply, the primary
objectives shall be to obtain satisfactory market yields and to minimize the costs
associated with investment of such funds.
2-4. Prudence and Ethical Standards
The standard of prudence used by the City shall be the “prudent person rule” and shall be
applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio within the applicable legal
constraints. The prudent person rule is restated below:
“Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise in
the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be
derived.”
In determining whether the Investment Officer(s) or Investment Advisor under contract
has exercised prudence with respect to an investment decision, the determination shall be
made taking into consideration the investment of all funds over which the Officer or
Advisor had responsibility, rather than a consideration as to the prudence of a single
Page 17 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
4
investment, and whether the investment decision was consistent with the written
Investment Policy of the City.
The Investment Officers, acting in accordance with written procedures and exercising
due diligence, shall not be held personally responsible for a specific security’s credit risk
or market price changes, provided that these deviations are reported immediately.
Specific policies describing the City’s prudence and ethical standards are found in
Section 4.5, “Responsibility and Controls.”
SECTION 3: INVESTMENT STRATEGY STATEMENT
The City maintains portfolios that utilize four specific investment strategy considerations
designed to address the unique characteristics of the fund groups represented in the
portfolios. To maximize the effective investment of assets, all funds needed for general
obligations may be pooled into one account for investment purposes. The income derived
from this account will be distributed to the various funds based on their average balances
on a periodic basis. Proceeds of bond issues shall not be pooled with other assets of the
City, but shall be maintained in the fund issuing the bonds with interest earnings on these
invested proceeds recorded directly to that fund.
3-1. Operating Funds
The investment strategy for operating funds has as its primary objective the assurance
that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity. The
secondary objective is to create a portfolio structure which will experience minimal
volatility during economic cycles. This may be accomplished by purchasing high-quality
short-to medium-term securities. The dollar weighted average maturity shall be
calculated in accordance with GASB requirements. The weighted average maturity of
operating funds shall not exceed 548 days. Securities may not be purchased that have a
final stated maturity date that exceeds five (5) years.
3-2. Bond Debt Service Funds
The investment strategy for bond debt service fund(s) has as its primary objective the
assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt service obligation on the
required payment date. Securities purchased shall not have a stated final maturity date
that exceeds the next unfunded bond debt service payment date.
3-3. Bond Reserve Funds
The investment strategy for bond reserve fund(s) has as its primary objective the ability
to generate a dependable revenue stream to the appropriate debt service fund from
securities with a low degree of volatility. Securities should be of high quality and, except
as may be required by the Bond Ordinance specific to an individual issue, of short-to-
intermediate-term maturities. The stated final maturity dates of securities held shall not
exceed five (5) years.
Page 18 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
5
3-4. Capital Projects Funds
The investment strategy for capital projects funds portfolios has as its primary objective
the assurance that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity.
These portfolios should include at least 10% in highly liquid securities to allow for
flexibility and unanticipated project outlays. The stated final maturity dates of securities
held should not exceed the estimated project completion date.
SECTION 4: SPECIFIC INVESTMENT POLICIES
4-1. Eligible Investments
Investments described below are those authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act
(Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code), as amended, which is made a part of this
Policy. The following list may not contain all of those securities that are authorized by
state statutes, but only those that the City Council wishes to include in their portfolios.
The purchase of specific issues may at times be further restricted or prohibited because of
current market conditions. City funds governed by this Policy may be invested in:
1. obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities;
2. direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies;
3. other obligations, the principal and interest on which are unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities, including obligations that are fully guaranteed or insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by the explicit full faith and credit of the
United States.
4. obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities and other political subdivisions of
any state having been rated of their own accord as to investment quality by a
nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not
less than AA or its equivalent, and with additional credit enhancement having
received a rating of not less than AAA or its equivalent by a nationally recognized
investment rating firm.
5. fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements: 1) having a defined termination
date; 2) secured by a combination of cash and obligations described by subdivision
1 of this subsection: 3) having securities purchased by the City or cash held by the
City pledged to the City, held in the City’s name and deposited at the time the
investment is made with the City with a third party selected and approved by the
City; and 4) placed through a primary government securities dealer, as defined by
the Federal Reserve, or a financial institution doing business in Texas, and having a
market value (including accrued interest) of no less than the principal amount of the
funds disbursed;

1. guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or its
successor; or,
2. secured by obligations that are described by 1 - 4 above, which are intended
to include all direct federal agency or instrumentality issues that have a
market value of not less than the principal amount of the certificates or in
any other manner and amount provided by law for deposits of the City.
b. made in accordance with the following conditions, commonly known as the

9. Local government investment pools organized in accordance with the Interlocal
Cooperation Act (Chapter 791, Texas Government Act) as amended, whose assets
consist exclusively of the obligations that are allowed as a direct investment for
funds subject to the Public Funds Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas
Government Code). A public funds investment pool must be continuously rated no
lower than AAA, AAA-m or at an equivalent rating by at least one nationally
recognized rating service.
Eligible investment pools must be authorized by the City Council, by rule, order,
ordinance, or resolution, as appropriate. The City Council has approved: 1) the
Texas Local Government Investment Pool (“TexPool”), administered by the Texas
State Comptroller; 2) the Texas Short Term Asset Reserve (“TexSTAR”);
administered by JPMorgan Chase and First Southwest Asset Management; and 3)
TexasTERM and TexasDaily, administered by PFM Asset Management LLC.
Unless backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, investments in
collateralized mortgage obligations are strictly prohibited. These securities are also
disallowed for collateral positions. The City will not be required to liquidate investments
that were authorized investments at the time of purchase.
4-2. Ensuring Safety of Principal
Ensuring safety is accomplished through protection of principal and safekeeping.
4-2-1 Protection of Principal
The City shall seek to control the risk of loss due to the failure of a security issuer
or guarantor by investing only in the safest types of securities as defined in the
Policy. Settlement of all investment transactions, except those transactions
involving investments in mutual funds or local government investment pools, must
be made on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis. The purchase of individual
securities shall be executed DVP through the Federal Reserve System delivered to
an authorized safekeeping agent or trustee (“custodian”). By so doing, City funds
are not released until the City has received, through the Federal Reserve wire, the
securities purchased. The security shall be held in the name of the City. The
custodian’s records shall assure the notation of City ownership of or explicit claim
on the securities.
Additionally, the City shall adhere to the following practices to protect its
investment principal:
4-2-1-1 Approved Broker/Dealers/Financial Institutions and Depositories
Investments shall only be made with those firms and institutions who have
acknowledged receipt and understanding of the City’s Investment Policy. The
“qualified representative” of the business as defined in Chapter 2256 of the
Texas Government Code shall execute a written certification to acknowledge
receipt of the City’s Investment Policy and to acknowledge that the
organization has implemented reasonable procedures and controls to preclude
Page 21 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
8
imprudent investment activities arising out of the investment transactions
conducted between the entity and the City. Should the City contract with an
external investment advisor to execute the investment strategy, including the
negotiation and execution of investment transactions, a managing officer of
the investment advisory firm may sign the written certification in lieu of the
broker/dealer firms. This certification must be included as part of the
investment advisory contract.
Securities and certificates of deposit shall only be purchased from those
institutions included on the City’s list of broker/dealers and financial
institutions as approved by the Investment Committee. All securities dealers
shall provide the City with references from other public entities that they are
currently serving. This list of approved investment providers must be
reviewed at least annually by the City’s Investment Committee and shall be
recorded in the Committee’s meeting minutes. The City’s Finance Advisory
Committee shall comprise the Investment Committee.
All state and national banks located in the State of Texas, which are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are to be considered as
eligible depositories. The financial condition of the bank shall be considered
prior to establishing any accounts with that bank. The Finance Advisory
Committee shall review the bids submitted by depository candidates and make
a recommendation to the City Council for final approval.
4-2-1-2 Collateralization
Consistent with the requirements of State law, the City requires all bank
deposits (including time deposits) to be federally insured or collateralized
with eligible securities. Financial institutions serving as City Depositories
will be required to sign an Agreement with the City and its safekeeping agent
for the collateral, perfecting the City’s rights to the collateral in case of
default, bankruptcy or closure.
The City shall not accept, as depository collateral, any security that is not
specifically allowed to be held as a direct investment by the City portfolio
(see 4-1). Repurchase agreements must also be collateralized in accordance
with State law. Evidence of the pledged collateral shall be maintained by the
Finance Director or a third party financial institution. All collateral shall be
subject to inspection and audit by the Finance Director or the City
independent auditors.
4-2-1-3 Maximum Exposure Guidelines
Risk of principal loss in the portfolio as a whole shall be minimized by
diversifying investment types according to the following limitations. As
discussed below, these limitations do not apply to bond proceeds.
Investment Type: % of Portfolio
Page 22 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
9
x U.S. Treasury Notes/Bonds/Bills 100%
x U.S. Agencies 60%
x Local Government Investment Pools 50%
x Repurchase Agreements 30%
x Certificates of Deposit 30%
x Municipal Bonds 20%
x Money Market Mutual Funds 15%
It is the policy of the City to diversify its investment portfolio so that reliance
on any one issuer or broker will not place an undue financial burden on the
City. Generally, the City should limit its repurchase agreement exposure with
a single firm to no more than 15% of the value of the City’s overall portfolio.
To allow efficient and effective placement of proceeds from any bond sales,
these limits may be exceeded for a maximum of five business days following
the receipt of bond proceeds. Proceeds of a single bond issue may be invested
in a single security or investment if the Investment Committee determines that
such an investment is necessary to comply with Federal arbitrage restrictions
or to facilitate arbitrage record keeping and calculation.
4-2-1-4 Limiting Maturity
To minimize risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, investment
maturities will not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds.
For operating funds, the dollar weighted average days to final stated maturity
shall be 548 days or less. The Investment Officer will monitor the maturity
level and make changes as appropriate. For bond funds, the investment
maturity of bond proceeds (including reserves and debt service funds) shall be
determined considering: 1) the anticipated cash flow requirements of the
funds, and; 2) the “temporary period” as defined by Federal tax law during
which time 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.
The City shall have a goal of maintaining a minimum of ten percent of the
portfolio maturing within thirty days, and twenty-five percent under one year.
Under 30 days 10% minimum
Under 1 year 25% minimum
Under 3 years 85% minimum
Five years maximum single investment
Reserve funds and other funds with longer-term investment horizons may be
invested in securities exceeding three years if maturities of such investments
are made to coincide as nearly as practical with the expected use of fund. The
Page 23 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
10
intent to invest in securities with longer maturities shall be disclosed in
writing to the City Council
4-2-2 Safekeeping
The City shall contract with a bank or banks for the safekeeping of securities either
owned by the City as a part of its investment portfolio or held as collateral to secure
certificates of deposits or repurchase agreements. The Safekeeping Agreement shall
clearly define the procedural steps for gaining access to the collateral should the
City determine that the City funds are in jeopardy. The safekeeping institution, or
Trustee, shall hold all aforementioned securities in an account at the Federal
Reserve Bank that specifies City ownership of the account. The Safekeeping
Agreement shall include the signatures of authorized representatives of the City, the
firm pledging the collateral and the Trustee. The City shall request from the
safekeeping institution a copy of its most recent report on internal controls
(Statement of Auditing Standards 70, or SAS 70).
4-2-3 Effect of Loss of Required Rating
If a holding’s credit quality rating falls below the minimum required, the City shall
take all prudent measures that are consistent with its investment policy to liquidate
the holding. City staff will periodically review the credit quality rating of
instruments in the City portfolio using rating agency online resources or other
media reporting these changes.
4-3. Ensuring Liquidity
Liquidity shall be achieved by matching investment maturities with forecasted cash flow
requirements, by investing in securities with active secondary markets, and by investing
in eligible money market mutual funds (MMMF’s) and local government investment
pools (LGIP’s). A security may be liquidated to meet unanticipated cash requirements,
to re-deploy cash into other investments expected to outperform current holdings, or to
otherwise adjust the portfolio.
4-4. Achieving Investment Return Objectives
Investment selection for all funds shall be based on legality, appropriateness, liquidity,
and risk/return considerations. Although the City will adopt a “buy and hold” approach,
at times the portfolios may be actively managed to enhance overall interest income.
Active management will take place within the context of the “Prudent Person Rule.” (see
Section 2.4).
4-4-1 Securities Swaps
The City may take advantage of security swap opportunities to improve portfolio
yield. A swap which improves portfolio yield may be selected even if the
transaction results in an accounting loss.
4-4-2 Competitive Bidding
Page 24 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
11
It is the policy of the City to require competitive bidding for all individual security
purchases except for those transactions with money market mutual funds (MMMFs)
and local government investment pools (LGIP’s) which are deemed to be made at
prevailing market rates, and for government securities purchased at issue through a
primary dealer at auction price. Rather than relying solely on yield, investment in
MMMFs and LGIP’s shall be based on criteria determined by the Investment
Committee, including adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
guidelines for MMMFs when appropriate. At least three bidders must be contacted
in all transactions involving individual securities. Competitive bidding for security
swaps is also required. Bids may be solicited in any manner provided by law. For
those situations where it may be impractical or unreasonable to receive three bids
for a transaction due to a rapidly changing market environment or to secondary
market availability, documentation of a competitive market survey of comparable
securities or an explanation of the specific circumstance must be included with the
transaction bid sheet. All bids received must be documented and filed for auditing
purposes.
4-4-3 Methods of Monitoring Market Price
The methods/sources to be used to monitor the price of investments that have been
acquired with public funds shall be from sources deemed reliable by the Investment
Officer, including primary or regional broker/dealers, established financial
institutions providing portfolio management/accounting services, third-party
safekeeping reports, financial publications such as the Wall Street Journal, market
information vendors such as Bloomberg or Telerate, and market pricing services.
4-4-4 Benchmark Rate of Return
As a general guideline, the City’s cash management portfolio shall be designed with
the objective of regularly meeting the average return on three-month U.S. Treasury
Bills, or the average rate of 90-day Certificates of Deposit. These indices are
considered benchmarks for risk-free investment transactions and therefore comprise
a standard for the portfolio’s rate of return. Additional benchmarks may be
developed and recommended by the Investment Committee and used as a
comparative performance measures for the portfolio. Additional benchmarks that
may be considered for targeting by the Investment Committee include the Constant
Maturity Treasury Bill with the maturity that most closely matches the weighted
average maturity of the portfolio or a more customized index made up of blended
Merrill Lynch Treasury/Agency indices. The investment program shall seek to
augment rates of return above this threshold, consistent with legal restrictions and
prudent investment principles. In a diversified portfolio, measured losses are
inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio.
4-5. Responsibility and Control
4-5-1 Authority to Invest
Authority to manage the City investment program is derived from a resolution of
the City. Those authorized by said resolution are designated as Investment Officers
Page 25 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
12
of the City, and, in conjunction with the Investment Committee, are responsible for
investment decisions and activities. All investment transactions must be
acknowledged by a second investment officer besides the one who initiated the
transaction. All wire transfers must be approved by two investments officers. The
City reserves the right to contract with an external investment advisory firm to
manage the investment assets, and the resulting resolution will grant investment
authorization to the contracted firm. The Finance Director shall establish written
procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this
Investment Policy.
4-5-2 Bonding requirements/Standard of care
Each of the authorized investment officers shall be a bonded employee. All
participants in the investment process shall act responsibly as custodians of the
public trust and shall exercise the judgment and care, under prevailing
circumstances, that a prudent person would exercise in the management of the
person’s own affairs.
4-5-3 Establishment of Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from
loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits
likely to be derived, and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates
and judgments by management.
4-5-4 Standard of Ethics
City staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or
which could impair the ability to make impartial investment decisions.
City staff shall disclose to the City any material interests in firms or businesses that
conduct investment matters with the City, and they shall further disclose positions
that could be related to the performance of the City portfolio. City staff shall
subordinate their personal financial transactions to those of the City, particularly
with regard to the timing of purchases and sales.
An investment officer of the City who has a personal business relationship with an
organization seeking to sell an investment to the City shall file a statement
disclosing that personal business interest. An investment officer who is related
within the second degree by affinity or consanguinity to an individual seeking to
sell an investment to the City shall file a statement disclosing that relationship. A
statement required under this subsection must be filed with the Texas Ethics
Commission and the governing body of the City.
4-5-5 Training and Education
In accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas
Government Code), the designated Investment Officers, or those personnel
Page 26 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
13
authorized to execute investment transactions, must attend periodic investment
training. State law requires that training relating to investment responsibilities must
be provided by an independent source, such as the Texas Municipal League, North
Central Texas Council of Governments, or the University of North Texas Center for
Public Management, or as approved by the City Manager. Personnel authorized to
execute or approve investment transactions must receive at least 10 hours of
investment training for each two year period that begins on the first day of the
City’s fiscal year and consists of the two consecutive fiscal years after that date.
Newly appointed investment officers must attain at least 10 hours of instruction
relating to the officer’s responsibility under the Act within 12 months after
assuming investment duties.
4-5-6 Investment Committee
An Investment Committee that is comprised of the membership of the Finance
Advisory Committee shall be established to determine investment guidelines,
general strategies, and monitor performance. The Committee shall meet quarterly to
review performance, strategy, and procedures. The Investment Committee shall
include in its deliberation such topics as: performance reports, economic outlook,
portfolio diversification, maturity structure, potential risk to the City funds,
authorized brokers and dealers, and the target rate of return on the investment
portfolio.
4-6. Reporting
Investment performance is continually monitored and evaluated by the Finance Director.
The Investment Officer(s) will provide detailed reports, as required by the Public Funds
Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, Section 2256.023) for the City
on a quarterly basis. The Finance Director shall submit a quarterly investment report
signed by the investment officers. The report shall include a succinct management
summary that provides a clear picture of the status of the current investment portfolio and
transactions made over the last quarter. This management summary will be prepared in a
manner which will allow the City to ascertain whether investment activities during the
reporting period have conformed to the Investment Policy. The management summary
shall: 1) summarize current market conditions, economic developments and anticipated
investment conditions; 2) summarize investment strategies employed in the most recent
quarter; 3) describe the portfolio in terms of investment securities, maturities, risk
characteristics, and average return for the quarter; 4) outline conformance to the
restrictions of the Policy in the area of diversification and term of maturity; 5) compare
the performance of City’s portfolio to appropriate benchmarks as determined by the
Investment Committee.
Additionally, the quarterly financial report will include the following detailed
information:
1. A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period.
Page 27 of 94
City of University Park, Texas - Investment Policy
14
2. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from appreciation or depreciation by
listing the beginning and ending book and market value of securities for the
period.
3. Additions and changes to the market value during the period.
4. Average weighted yield to maturity or total return performance of the
portfolio on entity investments as compared to applicable benchmarks.
5. Listing of investments by maturity date.
6. The percentage of the total portfolio which each type of investment
represents.
7. Statement of compliance of the City investment portfolio with State Law and
the investment strategy and policy approved by the City.
Within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year, the Finance Director or the Investment
Advisory firm shall present an annual report on the investment program and investment
activity. The report may be presented as a component of the fourth quarter report to the
City.
4-7. Compliance Audit and Accounting Method
In conjunction with its annual financial audit, the City shall perform a compliance audit
of management controls on investments and adherence to the City’s established
Investment Policies. The results of the audit shall be reported to the Investment
Committee and the governing body of the City.
The City shall comply with all required legal provisions and Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) relating to investment accounting. The accounting
principles are those contained in the pronouncement of authoritative bodies including but
not necessarily limited to, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
4-8. Certification
A copy of this Investment Policy will be provided to the senior management of any bank,
dealer, broker, investment advisor, or safekeeping institution wishing to transact
investment business directly with the City in order that it is apprised of the investment
goals of the City. Before business is transacted with the firm, a certification (Attachment
1) must be signed by a senior member of a firm. Should the City contract with an
external investment advisor to execute the entity’s investment strategy, including the
negotiation and execution of investment transactions, a managing officer of the
investment advisory firm may sign the written certification in lieu of the broker/dealer
firms. This certification must be included as part of the investment advisory contract.

Re: Kids Fitness Challenge/Triathlon May 29th, 2012
Dear Chief Adams:
The Park Cities YMCA is requesting permission to sponsor a Kid Fitness Challenge/Triathlon on
Sunday, August the 5th, 2012. This triathlon has been a tradition for the Park Cities area since
2008 and promotes healthy choices and challenges for youths in our area. The purpose of this
race is to bring awareness, in a safe and fun way, to the importance of kids developing healthy
lifestyles at an early age.
This event, for kids aged 7 to 14, would be managed by PlayTri Race Services, a professional
organization that conducts sanctioned races. The YMCA will advertise the event well in
advance. We will distribute flyers to all homeowners along the route advising them of street
closure times. I will be the person on call during this event, the number I may be reached is:
214-632-5265.
The bicycle race and subsequent run will start and end at the Y, beginning at 7:00 a.m. and
lasting approximately one hour. We are planning on using the same 3-mile course that was
formulated and approved by the city council in past years and are hoping that this course will
still meet your requirements and standards set forth (see the attached map). YMCA staff and
volunteers will be posted all along the route for added safety precaution as well as EMT’s, and
police support as required by the City Council in previous triathlons. In addition to center lane
cones on the course, and barricading the corner of Normandy St. /Andrews and Connerly we
request the permission to paint arrows (using dissolvable contractors’ paint) to further mark
the course for the participants’ safety. Any permits and requirements from the city council will
be met through PlayTri Race Services as the YMCA will honor and respect all requirements set
forth by the City Council.
As a key leader in our community, the Park Cities YMCA asks for City approval to host this
annual event to partner with us in our endeavor in nurturing youth development, energizing
healthy living and inspiring social responsibility.
Respectfully submitted,
In Health and Wellness,
Dinah R. Burgess
Wellness Director

Editor’s Note: At the June 5, 2012 Council Meeting, Director of Public Works Bud
Smallwood introduced this item. He stated Legacy Hillcrest is developing plans for the bank
building and parking lot that work with existing zoning and they have requested that the City
abandon the alley right-of-way bisecting their two properties. He said Legacy Hillcrest has
proposed to use the alley in their construction of an ADA ramp for rear access to the
building. At that previous meeting, additional information was provided by the applicant to
the Council and Councilmember Stewart requested the item be reconsidered at the next
meeting to allow time for further study. &RXQFLOPHPEHU6WHZDUWVWDWHGWKDWKHKDGVWXGLHGWKHDGGLWLRQDOLQIRUPDWLRQSURYLGHGWRWKH&RXQFLODWWKHSUHYLRXVPHHWLQJDQGKHVDLGKHKDGDOVRYLVLWHGWKHVLWHWRYLHZWKHVLGHZDONJUDGHV&RXQFLOPHPEHU6WHZDUWVDLGWKHRYHUULGLQJTXHVWLRQLVZKHQGRHVLWEHFRPHDSSURSULDWHWRJLYHXSSXEOLFSURSHUW\WRDSULYDWHXVH"+HVDLGWKH&RXQFLOPXVWYLHZDQ\VXFKDEDQGRQPHQWZLWKWKHVWLSXODWLRQWKDWLWEHQHILWVWKHSXEOLF&RXQFLOPHPEHU6WHZDUW

Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportAnnual Drinking Water Quality Report
City of University Park
Our Drinking Water Meets or Exceeds All
Federal (EPA) Drinking Water Requirements
This report is a summary of the quality of the water we provide our
customers. The analysis was made by using the data from the most recent
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required tests and is presented
in the attached pages. We hope this information helps you become more
knowledgeable about what’s in your drinking water.
About The Following Pages
The pages that follow list all of the federally regulated or monitored
contaminants which have been found in your drinking water. The U.S.
EPA requires water systems to test for up to 97 contaminants.
Definitions
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)
The highest permissible level of a contaminant in drinking water. MCLs
are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available
treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG)
The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no
known or expected health risk. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL)
The highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is
convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control
of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG)
The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known
or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use
of disinfectants to control microbial contamination.
Treatment Technique (TT)
A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in
drinking water.
Action Level (AL)
The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment
or other requirements which a water system must follow.
Abbreviations

You may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain
microbial contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, in drinking water.
Infants, some elderly or immunocompromised persons such as those
undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; those who have undergone organ
transplants; those who are undergoing treatment with steroids; and
people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders can be
particularly at risk from infections. You should seek advice about
drinking water from your physician or health care provider. Additional
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(1-800-426-4791).
Special Notice
Required Language for ALL Community
Public Water Supplies:
ALL drinking water may contain contaminants.
When drinking water meets federal standards there may not be any health
based benefits to purchasing bottled water or point of use devices.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to
contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of
contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
More information about contaminants and potential health effects can
be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(1-800-426-4791).
Secondary Constituents
Many constituents (such as calcium, sodium, or iron) which are often found
in drinking water, can cause taste, color, and odor problems. The taste and
odor constituents are called secondary constituents and are regulated by the
State of Texas, not the EPA. These constituents are not causes for health
concern. Therefore, secondaries are not required to be reported in this
document but they may greatly affect the appearance and taste of your water.

Required Additional Health Information for Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from
materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. This water supply is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot
control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure
by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have
your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Systems must complete and submit disinfection data on the Disinfection Level Quarterly Operating Report (DLQOR). On the CCR report, the
system must provide disinfectant type, minimum, maximum and average levels.

Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may
indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as
nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches.

Where do we get our drinking water?
The source of drinking water used by the City of University Park is
Purchased Surface Water from ELM FORK TRINITY RIVER. A Source
Water Susceptibility Assessment for your drinking water sources(s) is
currently being updated by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality. This information describes the susceptibility and types of
constituents that may come into contact with your drinking water source
based on human activities and natural conditions. The information
contained in the assessment allows us to focus our source water protection
strategies. Some of this source water assessment information will be
available later this year on Texas Drinking Water Watch at
http://dww.tceq.state.tx.us/DWW/. For more information on source water
assessments and protection efforts at our system, please contact us.
WATER SOURCES:The sources of drinking water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the
ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and in some cases,
radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be
present in source water before treatment include: microbes, inorganic
contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, radioactive contaminants, and organic
chemical contaminants.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
•Microbial contaminants - such as viruses and bacteria, which may
come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock
operations, and wildlife.
•Inorganic contaminants - such as salts and metals, which can be
naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water run-off, industrial or
domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
City of University Park
•Pesticides and herbicides - may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, urban storm water run-off, and residential uses.
•Organic chemical contaminants - including synthetic and volatile
organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and

Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Initiative
Information for Prospective Participants
What is the SSO initiative?
Sanitary sewer systems that are properly designed,
operated, and maintained will collect and transport
all of the sewage and industrial wastewater that flow
into them to a wastewater treatment facility for
appropriate treatment. If, however, there is
significant inflow/infiltration (I/I) in the collection
system; the system is not properly operated and
maintained; or its capacity is inadequate for
collection, storage or treatment, then sanitary sewers
can overflow. A sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) is a
type of unauthorized discharge of untreated or
partially treated wastewater from a collection system
or its components (such as a manhole, lift station, or
cleanout) before it has reached a treatment facility.
Correcting the problems that cause SSOs is
usually time-consuming and expensive for
municipalities; thus, they may be reluctant to begin
corrective actions, or they may delay such actions,
until the enforcement process requires them to act.
While the TCEQ recognizes that their total
elimination is unlikely, SSOs can be addressed
before they affect the environment. The goals of the
initiative are to reduce the number of SSOs that
occur each year in Texas and to address SSOs before
they harm human health, safety, or the environment
and before they become enforcement issues.
Who can participate?
• Wastewater treatment facilities with sanitary
sewer systems
• Subscribers (facilities consisting entirely of
sanitary sewer systems)
The Field Operations Division regional staff may
identify some facilities that are good candidates for
participation during on-site compliance
investigations or file-review investigations. This
identification will be based on:
• Self-reported data indicating violations of
permitted flow limitations and significant
noncompliance with other permitted effluent
limitations.
• SSO history (the number and volume of
overflows).
• Previous notices of violation (NOVs) for SSOs.
• SSOs occurring in impaired watersheds.
• SSOs with the potential to have an impact on
human health, safety, and/or the environment.
• Repeated complaints regarding SSOs.
• Corrective action for SSOs that will require
longer than six months to complete. A facility
currently under a compliance plan with the
region for addressing SSOs can be included in
the initiative if the current plan covers, or is
revised to cover, all of the required elements.
Facilities currently under formal enforcement
action for SSOs are not eligible to participate in the
initiative.
Participation in the initiative is not limited to
those facilities identified by TCEQ personnel.
Facilities may also elect to participate, and, in
those cases, should contact the local TCEQ regional
office to discuss that option.
How will participation in the initiative
benefit our facility?
• A participating facility will not be subject to
formal enforcement for most continuing SSO
violations, as long as the SSOs are addressed by
the SSO plan.
• Participation allows the facility to spend
resources on correction as opposed to having to
pay penalties associated with an enforcement
order, in addition to the money required to
complete corrective action.
• Participation ensures that SSOs addressed by
the SSO plan will not affect the facility’s
compliance history rating.
What can we expect if we agree (or
elect) to participate?
Meeting with the regional staff
Following an investigation by regional personnel
that has documented SSOs, the TCEQ will notify the
facility by letter of the opportunity to participate in
the initiative. A meeting will be held within the
next 30 days to further discuss the initiative. The
investigator may also discuss the investigation
Page 84 of 94
Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Initiative: Information for Prospective Participants TCEQ publication GI-389
2 June 2008
findings and explain the initiative during the
compliance investigation exit interview. In that case,
another meeting may not be required. (Note: If a
facility has not been contacted by the regional staff
but would like to discuss participation in the
initiative, its representative may call the regional
office to arrange a meeting.)
During the meeting regional personnel will:
• Discuss the findings of the investigation, if
applicable.
• Explain that, in order to participate in the
initiative, the facility must agree to conduct a
sanitary sewer system evaluation of the
wastewater system in order to determine the
scope of the problem and to develop a plan for
improving, updating, and repairing the
wastewater collection system. The plan must
include a time line for completing each specific
task.
• Discuss the required elements of the SSO plan.
• Supply technical-assistance materials from the
Small Business and Environmental Assistance
(SBEA) Division.
After the meeting, regional personnel will send a
letter confirming the facility’s participation that will:
• advise the facility of the findings of the SSO-
related investigation;
• spell out the minimum requirements of the SSO
plan; and
• allow up to 180 days for the plan to be
finalized.
If the facility does not elect to participate in the
initiative, the TCEQ will not afford it protection from
formal enforcement for SSOs, and will issue a notice
of violation for any SSO violations noted during the
investigation. (Note: If a facility contacted the region
to request the meeting—i.e., an investigation was not
conducted by the regional office—and the facility
decides not to participate in the initiative, the TCEQ
will evaluate any SSO violations during the next
compliance investigation and will issue an NOV at
that time.)
Evaluation of the SSO plan
After the facility has submitted its SSO plan to the
TCEQ, regional personnel will review it and
determine if additional information is needed. If not,
a letter approving the plan will be mailed to the
facility. At that time a copy of the plan will also be
forwarded to the Enforcement Division for inclusion
in the SSO agreement.
If additional information is required, the
investigator will send a letter describing the
information needed and will allow up to 30 days for
the facility to submit a revised plan.
What should the plan include?
The term of the SSO plan cannot exceed 10 years.
The plan should include the following elements:
• A description of the cause of the SSOs and
interim measures the facility will take to
mitigate the effects of continuing SSOs.
• A comprehensive evaluation of the sewer
system.
• A description of specific corrective measures,
with milestones for addressing continuing
SSOs.
• The time line for completing each corrective
action.
• Provisions for the development and
implementation, or the improvement, of an
operations and maintenance program to ensure
continued permit compliance.
• A description of all funding sources.
• A statement describing how the facility will
evaluate the effectiveness of the improvements.
Where can we get assistance with
developing a plan to address SSOs?
The Small Business and Environmental
Assistance Division (SBEA) will be available to assist
municipalities in addressing their SSO problems by
providing:
• information on funding sources;
• guidance on the development and
implementation of a program to manage fats,
oil, and grease; and
• guidance on the development and
implementation of a Capacity, Management,
Operation, and Maintenance program to
improve compliance and reduce environmental
impacts, costs, and risks.
For additional information, contact SBEA at
512-239-3100 or the Small Business and Local
Government Assistance Hotline at 800-447-2827,
or e-mail <sbap@tceq.state.tx.us>.
Do we continue to report SSOs to the
TCEQ if we participate in the
initiative?
Yes, any noncompliance reporting requirements
included in the permit provisions, the Texas Water
Page 85 of 94
TCEQ publication GI-389 Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Initiative: Information for Prospective Participants
June 2008 3
Code, or both will remain in effect. Site-specific
notifications will still be required.
What happens if additional SSOs
occur while we are participating in
the initiative?
Participation in the initiative excludes the facility
from formal enforcement for SSOs that are addressed
by the SSO plan. The TCEQ does, however, still
retain the right to take enforcement action under
certain circumstances, which may include any of the
following:
• SSOs that are intentional or result from
negligence.
• Failure of the facility to respond appropriately
to an SSO.
• Failure of the facility to report an SSO.
• SSOs that result in a documented impact, or
have the potential for such an impact, on
human health, safety, or the environment.
• Continued failure by the facility to meet the
requirements of the SSO agreement.
TCEQ personnel will review each circumstance
individually to determine if the agency should
initiate a separate enforcement action to address a
particular SSO according to current enforcement
protocol.
What if our facility chooses not to
participate?
Participation is entirely voluntary. If TCEQ
personnel document an SSO at a facility not
participating in the initiative, they will mail an
NOV or a Notice of Enforcement (NOE), if
appropriate, and monitor compliance under standard
investigation and enforcement protocol. The TCEQ
will not afford the facility protection from formal
enforcement for continuing SSO violations.
Is there anything that can cause our
facility to be dropped from the
initiative?
Yes. The purpose of the initiative is to encourage
facilities to be proactive in addressing SSOs and to
offer some measure of protection from enforcement
action for SSOs that occur while participating;
however, under some circumstances it may be
appropriate to rescind a facility’s eligibility.
Eligibility may be rescinded in cases such as
the following:
• Failure to supply the information needed by the
region to approve the SSO plan.
• Failure to provide the information needed by
the Enforcement Division to develop an SSO
agreement.
• Continued failure to meet the requirements of
an SSO agreement.
• SSOs due to negligence.
• Failure to respond appropriately to an SSO, or
to report one.
• An SSO documented to harm, or having the
potential to harm, human health, safety, or the
environment.
Other situations may also require a review to
determine a facility’s eligibility for continued
participation. Those will be evaluated case by case.
If eligibility is rescinded, a representative from
either the regional office or the Enforcement Division
will notify the participant of the decision. SSO
violations identified in previous investigations will
then be addressed under standard enforcement
protocol.
Since participation is, in part, based
on reported SSOs, how will the TCEQ
handle facilities that do not report
SSOs?
Facilities that do not report SSOs will be advised
of the reporting requirements. The TCEQ will supply
the facility’s representatives with a copy of the
noncompliance notification form and the regulatory
guidance Unauthorized Discharges and Sanitary
Sewer Overflows (TCEQ publication no. RG-395), and
will issue an NOV, or an NOE if appropriate, for
failure to report the SSO (Texas Water Code 26.039)
and for failure to prevent an unauthorized discharge
(Texas Water Code 26.121). The facility may not be
eligible to participate in the initiative if it continues
to neglect reporting SSOs.
