Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We hereby submit the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 in accordance with City Charter
requirements. Attached is a schedule of the changes to the proposed budget document submitted to
you on August 1, 2011.
The most significant changes in the proposed budget came from Council and the budget team’s
combined efforts in reducing the City’s operational budget by $164,738. Included in this revision are
changes made by Mayor and Council that reduced their operating budget accounts in special events,
contract services, travel reimbursements, and operating services totaling $76,790. Budget team
contributions reduced departmental expenditures for a combined total of $87,948. Some of the
changes were derived from reducing the budget for contract services in the City Secretary Municipal
Clerk division, the City Manager Administration and Economic Development divisions, and the
Community Development’s Engineering division. The Staff’s ongoing efforts to search out areas in which
efficiencies and collaboration with other entities can reduce costs resulted in a $50,000 reduction to the
fuel budget decision package. This was done by negotiating a contract with the school districts to utilize
their fueling stations and cooperative purchasing agreements. The Police Department reduced
personnel costs in the Patrol division by $8,600. Also, the Public Works Department reduced their
operating services account in the Street and Sidewalk operations and the Drainage operations divisions
by $2,579. Despite these reductions in the operating budget, current service levels to the citizens will be
maintained.
Other changes included in the adopted budget are: the addition of employee merit of $135,000 in the
General Fund and $15,748 in the Water and Sewer Fund; $125,000 for street maintenance; and $50,464
was added to the Mayor and Council’s operating budget for legal services.
Building permit fees were increased and are estimated to generate an additional $40,000 in revenue.
The change in fees will partially offset existing personnel costs for services already being rendered.
Additional revenue in the amount of $23,476 will come by the internal transfer from the Water and
Sewer Fund to the General Fund. Each fund is budgeted to operate independently; however there are
shared costs for administration and operating services. These services were reviewed and revised to
better reflect the shared costs between funds and the inter-fund transfer was adjusted accordingly.
The adopted budget includes a reduction in property tax revenue of $2,479. This reflects the difference
between the adoption of the actual effective tax rate of $0.5902 versus the $0.5913 as estimated by

August 1, 2011
Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We hereby submit the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 in accordance with City
Charter requirements.
When the Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget was presented to City Council exactly one year ago,
we could not have predicted the extremely positive local and national recognition that we
received during that budget cycle. Friendswood was named number five on the top ten list
of best towns for families by Family Circle magazine. The publication cited our low crime
rate, affordable homes, quality schools, financial stability, access to health care, green
space, and volunteerism. In addition, for the second straight year, we received the State
Comptroller’s Gold Leadership Circle Award, recognizing the City for implementing financial
transparency and providing clear, consistent pictures of our expenditures.
These are the latest in a series of recognitions that Friendswood has received in the last few
years, including Business Week Magazine’s “Best Affordable Suburb in Texas” in 2009 and
one of CNN/Money Magazine’s Best Places to live in the Country in 2007 and 2009. We are
confident that this next fiscal year will bring more welcome surprises to our community as
well.
As in prior years and as is also mandated by City Charter, a balanced budget is delivered to
the Mayor and City Council based on Staff’s projections of the revenue and expenditures
needed to meet existing and anticipated service level requirements. City Staff has spent
several months in the preparation of the proposed budget and we look forward to
discussions with Council during upcoming budget work sessions on the information
presented within this document.
At the Special Council Session held on June 20, the Multi-Year Financial Plan was presented
and its relationship to the annual budget was explained. In upcoming budget work
sessions, Staff will provide greater detail on the key components of the proposed budget,
including revenue and expenditure budget “drivers” and departmental decision packages.
We appreciate the time Council has already spent with Staff discussing the MYFP and the
next budget. We believe that this investment in time helps us incorporate both perspectives
into a budget that best meets the City’s needs.
The last few years have been economically challenging to both public and private
organizations alike. Friendswood has not escaped those difficulties. And while Friendswood
has not been as negatively impacted financially as many other cities and businesses across
the country, we have had to work around many fiscal challenges to make sure that we
continue to provide the level of services and programs Friendswood residents and
businesses have come to expect. This year’s proposed budget does not eliminate or reduce
any specific program or service.

Infrastructure is one of the most important assets to maintain in a community.
Infrastructure not only includes the physical streets, drainage, parks, facilities, and
water and sewer improvements, it also encompasses the City’s “human
infrastructure” – its employees. With resources perhaps more limited than ever,
continuing to support our service providers is an ongoing challenge. While City
Council and Staff recognize the need to maintain our pay plan structure and
compensate the employees who strive daily to provide the City services expected by
our citizens, this year’s budget estimate is very lean. Therefore, the proposed
budget, as in previous years, does not include cost of living adjustments (COLA) or
“across the board” pay increases. In addition, funding for merit increases for Staff is
not built into this proposed budget. This comes after two straight years of ratcheting
down the City’s merit increases to lower percentages than provided in previous
years. Instead we have allocated a portion of our limited resources to partially
restoring TMRS benefits. This will be discussed in greater detail below. The pay plan
management issue remains an item of concern to be discussed with Council in an
upcoming workshop.
City and Volunteer Fire Department Retirement Benefits
A major decision point for Staff was addressing the changes in the City’s Texas
Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) retirement benefit contribution rate. In 2007,
the State’s actuarial experience indicated that contributions to the retirement plan
were not fully funding the plan. The plan was restructured and Cities were allowed
to “phase-in” the fully-funded rate over an eight-year period. During last year’s
budget process, the decision was made to reduce the annual annuity increase for
current and future retirees from 70 to 30 percent. The percent of increase is based
on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Since CPI was very low at the time, it had a
nominal impact on our retirees, and this reduction was presented to Staff and
Council as a one year reduction. The decision to reduce our phase-in rate was made
in anticipation of restructuring legislation that was presented in the 2011 legislative
session, and eventually approved by the legislature. This was good news for our
plan, because our “phase-in” rate was then eliminated. Our contribution rate
became 13.60 percent compared to last year’s rate of 15.74 percent and the
projected fully-funded rate of 19.14 percent. After the changes, Staff reviewed the
issue this year and collectively agreed that the City’s cost to return to the 70 percent
of CPI rate was not attainable given current budget constraints. However, Staff felt
it was important to make some progress and move back to the 50 percent level.
This results in an additional budgetary impact of $169,500. Next year, Staff will
once again evaluate the City’s ability to possibly fund a 70 percent of CPI COLA for
our retirees.
A related issue was the pension increase requested by the Friendswood Volunteer
Fire Department. For the past several years, decision packages have been
presented, but not funded for the pension increase. The proposed budget includes
$14,400 for the pension cost increase, which was the FVFD’s highest rated request.
Health Insurance
Prior to requesting proposals for employee healthcare coverage, the City’s Interlocal
partnership with the cities of Webster and Dickinson received an estimated 19
percent rate increase. Bidding the cooperative’s insurance coverage and subsequent
negotiations resulted in the Cities changing insurance providers. The good news is
there will be no increase in the cost of our employee group health insurance
coverage, while the level of benefits remains comparable to the current plans. The
proposed budget has been prepared using existing plan options and current 2011
healthcare premium rates.
Workers Compensation
One of the most important ways that our employees can help save taxpayer dollars
is by performing their jobs safely. We have many employees who work “out in the
field” and encounter potential dangers on a daily basis. The City’s participation in
the TML-Intergovernmental Risk Pool and the employees’ ongoing emphasis on
safety in the workplace continues to pay off. Our history of work-related injuries
remains low resulting in a very favorable experience modifier. The Pool’s experience
has also been good. The combination of both has resulted in the City’s workers’
compensation rate remaining low. You may recall that over the past 15 years we
have received a total of $337,675 in equity returns (premium refunds) from the TML-
IRP as a result of both ours and the pools good experience.
No New Staff Positions
No new full-time or part-time positions are included in the budget. One of the most
important emphases that we continue to place on ourselves as a staff is the need to
find ways to create efficiencies in the way we conduct our day to day operations.
Staff members are taking on more responsibilities as new mandates, projects and
requests are brought our way, and we feel that we are meeting the physical,
technical and financial needs of our community without increasing the numbers of
our workforce at this time. This has been one of our greatest accomplishments and
continues to be one of the greatest challenges facing our Staff as Friendswood
grows.
Street Improvements
Again this year, a conscientious approach has been taken with other expenditures
included in this year’s proposed budget.
Street improvements: Due to funding limitations and competing demands for 2011-
12 resources, no additional funding for major street improvements is included in the
proposed budget. Street improvements continue to be an area of importance, as
this decision package was the highest rated by Staff, following those identified as
“forces at work.” However, the funding available was relatively insignificant and
would have made little impact in actual street improvements. This same difficulty
occurred last year when the current budget was being deliberated. Council discussed
the possibility of appropriating funds from General Fund Balance that is available for
capital improvements. We are suggesting that this issue be seriously revisited
during our budget work sessions, and a decision regarding this funding source for
street improvements be made and, if approved, included in the 2011-12 budget. On
a larger scale, we believe we need to revisit the City’s Street Pavement Master Plan
and discuss funding options, including the possibility of a future bond election for
street improvements. The last available General Obligation bonds were issued in
2010 to reconstruct a major portion of Blackhawk Boulevard. This project is
currently being designed.
Forces at Work
The proposed budget includes the following expenditure increases for Forces at
Work.
x Fuel (in impacted departments)-$102,728 (General Fund). We are trying to
mitigate this impact by researching other alternatives to our current fuel
suppliers. We will report our progress in upcoming budget workshops.
x Electricity (in impacted departments)-$6,308 (General Fund) and $49,388
(W/S Fund)
x Operating services and supplies for the new Animal Control facility, such as
electricity, telephone, janitorial, natural gas, pest control, landscaping
maintenance, etc. – $26,100
x Galveston County - Radio Service fees (Police Department & Fire Marshal) -
$3,744
x Blackhawk WWTP operational costs increase - $128,575 (W/S Fund)
x City of Houston – Purchased Water rate increase - $123,092 (W/S Fund)
x Water Analysis (TCEQ Mandated) - $18,439 (W/S Fund)
Other Decision Packages
Community Services programs enhance the quality of life of our citizens. Included in
the budget for 2011-12 are funds for the following Community Services programs:
x Adult sports programs (Offset by an associated fee increase) - $ 2,000
x New Zumba program (Offset with an associated fee increase) - $10,600
x Concerts in the Park - $1,209
x Resurfacing of the of the tennis and basketball courts at Stevenson Park (Park
Land Dedication Fund) - $35,000
The proposed budget includes several items in the Administrative Services
Department. Many of these items will be utilized by other departments throughout
the city and will benefit both the City’s internal and external customers.
x Warrant Round-up (Overtime and program costs) - $9,000
x Teen Court overtime (Court Clerks & Security Personnel) - $4,537 (General
Fund) and $2,174 (Court Security/Technology Fund)
x Municipal Court Prosecutors(Additional Hours) - $5,000
x Multi-function copier (Animal Control Facility) - $7,500
x Utility bill printing service - $13,872 (W/S Fund)
x Utility payment processing equipment & software - $15,975 (W/S Fund)
Other items included in the proposed budget include:
x Phase-in of expected loss of Emergency Management Planning Grant funds
used to operate the Fire Marshal/Emergency Management department-
$18,000
x Extended maintenance agreement for digital in-car video/ALPR (Police) -
$8,600
x Mowing tractor (Public Works) - $35,000
x Replacement backhoe (Public Works) - $65,000 (W/S Fund)
x Air compressor (Public Works) - $15,000 (W/S Fund)
x Portable sewer camera (Public Works) - $10,000 (W/S Fund)
22
Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department
We are moving into our eighth contract year with the Friendswood Volunteer Fire
Department (FVFD) to provide fire and emergency management services to the City.
Included in this budget is an increase to the FVFD contract adding $14,400 to fund
the department’s request for an increase to their pension. As a part of the contract,
the City continues to pay a fee of $10 per run to the FVFD Equipment Replacement
Fund (the same fund used to collect the voluntary donations from City utility bills) to
assist in the replacement of capital equipment. This fee is projected to be
approximately $28,000 for 2010-11 and is expected to be $30,000 in 2011-12.
The proposed budget includes Fire/EMS donations revenue of $241,000. The
following items are included in the budget for the FVFD using this funding source.
x Annual debt service for a fire truck purchased in 2008-09 - $61,901.
x The following equipment purchases are proposed to be funded by a
combination of 2011-12 projected donations, run fees described above and
other FVFD resources.
o Fire Engine 22 – estimated at $67,000 (first year payment of 8-year
financing). The total estimated cost is $464,270.
o Brush Truck and Squad Truck at Station Number Two – estimated at
$120,000.
Vehicle Replacement Plan
Since establishing the Vehicle Replacement Plan in 1999, the City’s fleet has been
greatly improved and assists City Staff in performing efficiently. We are now
entering the 13th year of our Vehicle Replacement Fund (VRF). This fund allows us to
“finance” our vehicle purchases internally. The VRF purchases all City vehicles that
cost less than $50,000 and “leases” them to the City departments. These “lease”
payments allow the VRF to purchase replacements for the departments’ vehicles
according to the Vehicle Replacement Plan schedule. The current plan calls for four
Police Department units, one Community Services truck, and two Community
Development trucks to be replaced in 2011-2012.
The Vehicle Replacement Fund has been an excellent method to fund our future City
vehicles and has proven to be beneficial in several ways.
x The City fleet is refreshed as needed to provide proper employee resources.
x It allows the City to “finance” its fleet purchases internally, thus saving the
cost of borrowing externally.
x It ensures adequate funding is available for fleet replacement.
x The annual budgetary impact is stabilized. A more consistent funding
requirement is established, eliminating the extreme highs and lows from one
budget to the next.

Fund Balance
The City has made tremendous progress in developing healthy financial reserves. As
a result of conservative budgeting and responsible stewardship on the part of the
Staff and City Council, it is projected that the General Fund balance will approach
$5.7 million by the end of the current fiscal year. According to the financial policies,
“additional undesignated funds in excess of the 90-day emergency reserve will be
allowed to accumulate in a fund designated for future General Fund capital
improvements.” Based on the budget for 2011-12, we expect to fully fund the
emergency reserve amount of $5.2 million with approximately $475,000 remaining
for capital improvements.
The City’s discipline and adherence to our financial policies has allowed the City to
commit additional undesignated funds to a number of projects. (Do we need the
following detail? If so, disregard the deletion.)In addition to the adopted projects in
the 2010-11 budget, funds were available for Council to approve several other
expenditures throughout the year. These included $150,000 for the rehabilitation of
Fire Station Number Three, $24,300 for the City Hall Access Control System and
$13,695 for blood pressure monitors. Also, Council’s commitments of $52,220
allowed the City to receive grant funds for several capital projects and equipment.
These include the City Hall protective window coverings, Senior Program bus, and
City Hall and Library emergency generators. Use of these matching funds allowed
the City to multiply the $52,000 more than 4.25 times and receive almost $225,000
from sources outside of the City.
The Water and Sewer and General Funds are each budgeted to operate
independently. Water and Sewer Fund retained earnings are estimated to reach
$10.1 million at year end 2010-11. The City’s 90-day emergency reserve balance
will be fully funded at $2.1 million. When water and sewer rates were reduced in
October 2009, a periodic draw down of the retained earnings (working capital)
balance was incorporated in the rate structure. Therefore, a portion of the
undesignated $8.0 million is already being used to provide lower rates to the City’s
utility customers. The remaining working capital funds above the 90-day emergency
reserve are available for future Water and Sewer capital improvements.
Conclusion
As economic challenges continue to emerge for our nation and City, greater strain is
placed on our current resources. The City’s employees are being asked to do more
while also finding innovative ways to deliver service more efficiently. Balancing the
needs of our employees, while continuing to seek innovative ways to provide the
excellent service our citizens expect is an ongoing exercise. That said this Staff
takes great pride in being part of an organization dedicated to serving the citizens of
Friendswood. We make decisions and work daily to accomplish our goals by
embracing our motto, “Friendswood on TRAQ”, which is an acronym for the City
Staff’s core values: Trust, Respect, Accountability and Quality.
As previously mentioned in this letter, our budget process is a cooperative one that
requires teamwork by our Staff. The efforts of the entire budget team are greatly
appreciated; however, we especially want to thank the Administrative Services Staff,
led by Department Director, Cindy Edge, and supported by Katina Hampton and
Jennifer Walker, for their many hours of hard work.

Information on the City of Friendswood, Texas
Form of Government
The City of Friendswood, Texas was incorporated on October 15, 1960. The charter provided for
a Mayor-Council form of city government. The charter was amended on October 16, 1971 to
provide for a City Council-City Manager form of city government.
The Mayor and six Council members are elected from the City at large to serve three-year terms.
A charter amendment was approved May 4, 1992, to extend terms to three years from two years
to be phased in over a three-year period beginning in 1993. A three-term limitation was also
approved in 1992.
The City Council is the principal legislative body of the City. The City Manager is appointed by a
majority vote of the City Council and is responsible to the Council for the administration of all the
affairs of the City including the appointment and removal of department directors and employees,
supervision and control of all City departments and preparation of the annual budget. The Mayor
presides at meetings of the City Council.
Location
Friendswood is conveniently located between Houston and Galveston, just 20 miles southeast of

Economic Outlook
The Friendswood/Bay Area Houston’s upscale suburban landscape includes thirteen cities:
Friendswood, Clear Lakes Shores, Dickinson, El Lago, Houston, Kemah, La Porte, League City,
Nassau Bay, Pasadena, Seabrook, Taylor Lake Village, and Webster. The estimated population for
the area exceeds 452,000 with a strong work force of 224,000.
The Friendswood/Bay Area regional economy is home to more than 14,200 business
establishments. The area’s anchor industries are aerospace and specialty chemicals, each with an
annual economic impact of $1 billion. The third industry combines a diverse set of high
technology clusters including: bio-pharmaceutical, bio-technology, integrated computer systems,
software development, and technical services. The fourth industry recreation and tourism,
combines cruise lines and boating, which draws much of its patronage from outside the area.
Aerospace
The Friendswood/Bay Area Houston region is home to NASA – Johnson
Space Center and over 55 aerospace contractors and subcontractors.
NASA-JSC employs approximately 3,000 federal employees and more
than 12,000 contractors, about 8 percent of the region’s work force.
The end of the NASA space shuttle program will have a likely; but
currently undetermined impact on this segment of the area’s workforce.
High Technology Clusters
Technology sub-industries like bio-pharmaceuticals, bio-
technology, computing hardware and software, information storage
and retrieval, measurement and controlling devices command a
significant and growing presence in Bay Area Houston with more
than two times the national average activity. There are
approximately 2,900 people employed in Bay Area Houston’s bio
sector.
Specialty Chemical Products
Another large and relatively stable business cluster is the
petrochemical refining and specialty chemical industry. One
of the nation’s largest privately developed industrial facilities,
Bayport, is home to approximately 65 operating specialty
chemical plants employing 9,000 to 10,000 workers.
Expansions at the Port of Houston, Bayport Industrial
District, and widening of the Panama Canal will help support
the long term economic growth of this sector.
31
Recreation and Tourism
The fourth economic sector combines boating,
recreation, and tourism on Texas’ Gulf Coast.
About 24 marinas provide 8,000 boat slips of all
sizes and dockage facilities for the power and sail
boating enthusiast. The area offers amusement
parks, like Space Center Houston, and the Kemah
Boardwalk, as well as ecotourism, upscale
shopping and fine dining and regional sports.
Each year, four million tourists from all 50 U.S.
states and many foreign countries visit Bay Area
Houston.
Issues Impacting the City
During fiscal year 2010 – 2011, several street and utilities capital improvement projects have
been completed or are in progress. Currently underway are the street reconstruction of Melody
Lane, Sunnyview and Skyview projects, FM 2351/Beamer Road utility improvements, the Second
Take Point Phase II (water storage facility) and the construction of the new Animal Control Facility
to replace the City’s existing one. All projects are expected to be completed by the end the first
quarter of fiscal year 2011 – 2012. Completed projects include the FM 518 drainage
improvements and the rehabilitation of Water Plant #2.
Friendswood, like other municipalities, continues to experience the effects of the country’s
economic downturn. This has affected the City’s budget development process again this year.
The City has maintained its current levels of service although some revenue streams, such as
intergovernmental resources, have dropped. The City’s largest revenue resource, property
taxes, is monitored carefully to detect significant changes. Preliminary property valuations are
showing a greater decline than seen in 2010; however, property tax revenue from new
construction in the City helps to soften the impact of declining values this year.
Over the last year, fuel cost has greatly impacted several departmental budgets; mainly those
that operate 24 hours per day. In fiscal year 2011 - 2012, fuel budgets have been increased in
the departments most heavily impacted. The City currently utilizes a fuel card program that
provides discounted prices at commercial fueling stations. Alternative fuel source options, such
as cost sharing partnerships or a fuel purchase agreement between the City and other local
entities, are being explored at this time.
Additionally, reinstating the City’s Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) annual annuity
increase for retirees (from 30% to 50% of CPI change) will impact the budget by increasing the
City’s TMRS contribution rate by almost 2% this year. The Municipal Retirement System’s
retirement funds underwent a restructuring as a result of Texas Senate Bill 350, which helped to
lessen the impact of this change.
Although health care cost are rising and the effects of the federal healthcare reform is yet to be
determined, negotiations during this year’s health insurance RFP (request for proposal) by the
interlocal partnership with Friendswood, Webster and Dickinson proved beneficial; resulting in no
significant changes to health care plan options or premium costs for to the City or its employees.
Due to the volatility of some its revenue sources, the City has and continues to apply for federal
and state grant funding for various projects and operational costs. Information on the results of
these efforts will be monitored closely in fiscal year 2011-2012.
32
Planning for the Future
In 1998, the City achieved a significant goal with the development of Vision 2020, the
community’s strategic initiative for Friendswood to the year 2020. This plan, developed with
active citizen input, has been the foundation for our goals, Comprehensive Plan, Capital
Improvement Plan and annual budget. Since its development, City Council and staff has worked
to keep the plan updated to consider the City’s ever changing needs. By working together to
implement these plans, the City Council and staff will ensure the citizens’ vision for 2020 can, in
fact, become reality.
The City also uses other Master Plans, such as the Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan, the
Pavement Master Plan, Utilities Master Plan and the Multi Year Financial Plan to aid Council,
Committees, Boards and Staff with outlining the City’s future development and financial needs.

Fund Schedules
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund accounting is used by state and local
governments to control and manage money for particular purposes and to ensure finance-related
legal requirements. The City uses two fund types – governmental and proprietary. The City’s audited
financial statements include all funds noted in the budget document and classify them by major and
non-major funds.
Governmental Funds
The City maintains several governmental funds. All governmental funds are budgeted and are
presented separately. Each fund schedule includes revenues and expenditures for FY10 actual; FY11
Original and Amended budgets as well as year-to-date actual through June; and the FY12 Adopted
Budget. The General Fund and Capital Projects Fund are considered to be major funds. The other
funds are non-major funds. The funds and a short description are listed below. Additional detail
information about each fund is presented prior to each fund schedule.
General Fund
The General Fund is a governmental fund used to account for the resources used to finance the
fundamental operations of the City. It is the basic fund of the City and covers all activities for which a
separate fund has not been established. Governmental activities include most of the City’s basic
services, (general government, public safety, community development and public works and
community services.)
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are governmental funds used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted to financing specific purposes. There are six Special Revenue
Funds.
Police Investigation Fund
Fire/EMS Donation Fund
Economic Development Administration Grant Fund
TDRA Disaster Recovery Fund
Court Security/Technology Fund
Sidewalk Installation Fund
Park Land Dedication Fund
Tax Debt Service Fund
The Tax Debt Service Fund is a governmental fund used to account for property taxes levied for
payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt of the City.
Capital Project Funds
The Capital Project Funds are governmental funds used to account for proceeds of the sale of
Permanent Improvement Bonds.
1776 Park Trust Fund
This fund was established in fiscal year 1979-80 to account for 1776 Park assets held by the City
in a trustee capacity. The 1776 Park land was donated to the City, along with $10,000. The
funds are invested and the interest earned is used to maintain and/or make improvements to the
park.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two types of proprietary funds. The City uses the Enterprise fund for water and
sewer operations. The enterprise fund reports the same functions presented as business-type
activities. The second proprietary fund is the Internal Service Fund. This fund is used to account for
fleet management services. The funds and a short description are listed below. Additional detail
information about each fund is presented prior to each fund schedule.
Enterprise Fund
The Enterprise Fund is used to budget for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services that are entirely or predominantly self-supporting by user charges. The
business-type activities of the Enterprise Fund include the City’s water and sewer system. The
Enterprise Fund is maintained in seven separate funds in the City’s accounting system, but presented
as one Enterprise Fund in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. However, the City budgets
each of the seven components as separate Water and Sewer funds. The budgeted Water and Sewer
Funds include:
Water and Sewer Operation Fund
2006 Water and Sewer Bond Construction Fund
2009 Water and Sewer Bond Construction Fund
Water CIP/Impact Fee Fund
Sewer CIP/Impact Fee Fund
Water and Sewer Revenue Debt Service Fund
Internal Service Fund

and replacement of City vehicles costing less than $50,000. The budgeted Internal Service fund
includes:

Special Revenue Funds
These funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to financing specific purposes. The basis of budgeting for all Special Revenue Funds is
the modified accrual method and is the same as the basis of accounting used in the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The following describes the various types of Special
Revenue Funds used by the City:
Police Investigation Fund
This fund is used to account for revenues that are restricted to police investigation expenditures.
Fire/EMS Donation Fund
This fund is used to account for revenues that are restricted for Fire/EMS capital outlays and
debt repayments. The principal sources of revenues are donations received from residents and
proceeds from the sale of capital equipment. The revenues are used to purchase fire trucks,
ambulances and other capital equipment for four fire stations and Friendswood volunteer fire
fighting and emergency medical services personnel.
Economic Development Administration
This fund is used to account for receipts from the U.S. Department of Commerce EDA Grant to
support the FM 2351/Beamer Road utility improvements project. The City received a $2 million
grant in fiscal year 2008-2009 for the project. As expenditures are incurred, the City will submit
reimbursement requests to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The fund will be closed out at
the completion of the project.
TDRA Disaster Recovery Fund
This fund is used to account for receipts from the Texas Department of Rural Affairs to provide
backup emergency power to a number of critical city facilities and for partial funding of fire
station renovations. Grant funds will be used to purchase natural gas generators to 30+ utility
facilities (lift stations, water plants, etc.) and two fire stations. Grant funding will also be used
to partially fund renovations at Fire Station #3 which was heavily damaged during Hurricane
Ike. The City received a $2.55 million grant in fiscal year 2009-2010 for the projects. The fund
will be closed out at the completion of the projects.
Court Security/Technology Fund
In 1999, the State Legislature authorized a Court Technology and Court Security Fee for
Municipal Court fines. Those who pay citations at the Friendswood Municipal Court contribute to
these fees. The fees can be used to fund court related security and technology projects.
Park Land Dedication Fund
This fund is used to account for receipts from developers to build or enhance neighborhood and
community parks. The receipts remain in the fund until such time as the Community Services
department submits a decision package during the budget preparation process to use the funds
for specific park projects or submits a request to the City Manager and City Council for a
supplemental appropriation.
Sidewalk Installation Fund
This fund is used to account for receipts from developers to install sidewalks in neighborhood
developments. The fund will be closed out at the completion of the project(s).

City Secretary
_____________________________________________________________
Mission Statement
The City Secretary’s office provides a conduit of information regarding the operation of the
City of Friendswood to the citizens of Friendswood, elected officials, City Staff, and other
interested parties in accordance with State law, the charter of the City of Friendswood and
other rules and regulations as adopted.
Current Operations
Municipal Clerk
The department of the City Secretary is staffed by five employees. The City Secretary
reports directly to the Mayor and City Council.
Services provided by the City Secretary’s office focus on administrative, public relations,
records (internal and external), elections and providing information to the citizens of
Friendswood, elected officials and City Staff. The City Secretary’s office provides
information, as requested, regarding operation of the City to the community as a whole,
including the Mayor, Councilmembers, City Staff, citizens and interested parties; maintains
custody of all municipal records; administers the Records Management Program; and,
recommends rules and regulations to be adopted by ordinance to protect the safety and
security of the municipal records. Additionally, the City Secretary’s office attends and
records the minutes of all official meetings of Council, attests to all instruments requiring
execution, conducts and coordinates the City election, and provides election services to
other entities. These activities also include coordinating the appointments of boards,
committees and commissions, providing staff support for certain committees and related
Council activities, publishing official notices of the City, issuing certain licenses and permits,
coordinating updates to the Friendswood Code of Ordinances, and performing other duties
and responsibilities that may be required.
Election Services
The City Secretary’s office conducts all City elections as called for in accordance with Texas
Municipal Laws and Charter provisions of the City of Friendswood, in addition to conducting
a joint election with Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District and providing for
election services to Friendswood Independent School District on a contractual basis.
Records Management Program
According to Chapter 1248, Acts of the 71st Legislature, a Records Management Program is
required. This program provides for an efficient, economical and effective control over the
creation, distribution, organization, maintenance, use, and disposition of all City records
through a comprehensive system of integrated procedures for the management of records
or their ultimate disposition in accordance with State law.
A centralized Records Storage Center has been established and a Records Management
Program has been developed and implemented. Accordingly, records from all departments,
allowed by law to be destroyed, are reviewed annually or bi-annually, as needed, and
scheduled for destruction. This process provides record storage space for ongoing
implementation of the retention schedule.
80
City Secretary
_____________________________________________________________
A systematic computerized scanning and indexing of all records of City Council meetings
and other records is ongoing and provides for efficient retrieval and search capabilities that
provides information to the Mayor and Council, all departments, and all citizens on an as-
needed basis and is available on the City’s website for round-the-clock access. This
provides for a searchable index of the official City records and City minutes in hard copy
and/or in electronic format. This needed information is easily accessible to City Officials,
City Staff and citizens.
Highlights of the Budget
Election Services
The City Secretary’s office conducts all City elections as called for in accordance with Texas
Municipal Laws and Charter provisions of the City of Friendswood, in addition to conducting
a joint election with Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (GCCDD) and
providing for election services to Friendswood Independent School District (FISD) on a
contractual basis. This budget year we anticipate conducting a general election for the City
and Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District.
Records Management Program
A records storage area is part of the Public Safety Building that houses Police, Municipal
Court and Fire Marshal/Emergency Operations Center records. Discussions have been
ongoing regarding projecting and planning for a second records storage center to replace
the existing records storage center for the City Manager’s office, Administrative Services,
Community Services, Public Works, Community Development, Library, and City Secretary’s
office. An architectural study was conducted in FY 2006-07 for building a new records
management facility. This study provided the needed information to move this process into
the CIP for future consideration regarding building a facility to house records from all
departments. Discussion has been ongoing by Council to determine funding options for a
records center facility. Most of the City’s records are stored at an off-site storage facility
that is climate controlled and is built to withstand 120 MPH winds.
In addition to managing the records manually, the City Secretary’s office uses the Laserfiche
Records Management Module to enhance the Records Management Program electronically.
With the Records Management Edition, records policies are enforced regardless of records’
format, location or content. It also automates life cycle management from document
creation to final disposition, runs reports detailing where records are in their life cycle and
which records are eligible for transfer, accession or destruction, logs all system activity,
providing an audit trail that can be used to prove adherence to the Records Management
Plan and compliance regulations, ensures the future accessibility of archived records with
storage, safeguards records with comprehensive access controls, supports compliance with
the Texas State Library Retention Schedule, regulations, and also reduces litigation risks
associated with expired and outdated records.
In a past year’s budget, Council approved the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Systems
software to assist with implementing the Texas Public Information Act. With the volume of
open records requests the City receives, this system manages the process by handling and
automating all aspects of the open records process, saving valuable Staff time with
improved oversight and reporting. This web based system has streamlined the open
81

_____________________________________________________________
records process by coordinating, with the City Secretary’s Records Division oversight and
management, with all City departments throughout the life of a request from start to finish.
The goal to make requests for public information an automated, streamlined process for
both citizens and staff is now achieved through the implementation of the FOIA system. A
current objective is to connect the City Secretary’s office information to the City Attorney’s
office through FOIA in order to further streamline the process and to reduce response time.
Records and Laserfiche Program
This ongoing program will continue the scanning of all records of City Council meetings and
other documents as well as to continue the program for citywide access to all permanent
documents (i.e. minutes, ordinances, resolutions, contracts, deeds, easements, and vehicle
titles). This program allows additional electronic capability for all departments to search,
access and retrieve all permanent records and to continue to scan all documents as
approved by Council and make available to City Staff for search, retrieval and printing
capabilities. This process eliminates the need for hard copies to be produced and stored by
numerous departments. The Laserfiche program will continue as a permanent service of the
City Secretary’s office, with the expansion of records provided as technology allows.
In 2009, the City Secretary’s office implemented Laserfiche Weblink so citizens and the
general public would be able to access the City’s records from the City’s website. Laserfiche
Weblink publishes select documents in a Laserfiche repository to the Internet in read-only
format. This project has been very successful and continues to provide easy access for the
public to review the City’s documents that are commonly requested through the Public
Information Act.

Trend: Measures of a successful Records Management Program were achieved. Records
Coordinators are trained in use of the policies of the program with updated training as
necessary. The program consists of managing the Records Centers, the records
retention program, the open records program and coordination with all departments on
all aspects of records management.
Goal 3 (correlates with City Goal: 6-Organizational Development)
Continue the ongoing Laserfiche scanning program of all minutes and approved documents
of the City. Continue enhancement of programs for citywide access to minutes, ordinances,
resolutions, contracts, deeds, easements, vehicle titles, and all permanent documents, etc.
Continue providing electronic capability for search, access and retrieval of all permanent
records for use by department users, and provide continued Laserfiche training as needed
for those users.
Objective A:
The Laserfiche program has provided invaluable research on many levels and has saved
many hours of research and retrieval time. It is extremely important to preserve City data
in a systematic computerized manner in order that we do not lose these historical records of
action taken by City Council.

City Manager
Mission Statement
The City Manager provides for the general administration of the City carrying out the City
Council’s policies and objectives. All City programs, services, and operations are directed
and coordinated by the City Manager. The City Manager’s Office is represented by two
divisions: Administration and Economic Development. There are five full-time employees
and one part-time employee in the department.
Current Operations
Administration – This division encompasses the City Manager’s core administrative and
oversight functions; as well as communication management and organizational development
and planning. Division staff provides wide-ranging administrative support activities for the
City Manager including: policy research, program analysis, Council agenda development,
departmental records coordination, project administration, general public information, and
management of citizen requests for service.
Economic Development – In order to provide Friendswood a more stable economic future
by expanding the city’s commercial tax base, this division is responsible for developing and
administering programs to retain and attract businesses that are compatible with our
community’s vision and values.
The Economic Development Coordinator administers programs to assist with business
prospect recruitment, marketing and retention. The Coordinator also serves as liaison
between City staff, business leaders, and economic development organizations.
Staff support for the City’s Community and Economic Development Committee (CEDC) is
also provided by this division.
Highlights of the Budget
The FY 2011-12 Budget continues to fund important citywide communications programs,
including the Focus on Friendswood newsletter as well as the City’s Public-Educational-
Governmental (PEG) access channel. The Focus on Friendswood newsletter contains
valuable City news, events, and announcements that is mailed to residents quarterly. This
year will mark the sixth year that the City’s PEG channel is utilized, and FY 2012 will be the
fifth full year that City Council and Board, Commission and Committee meetings will be
televised on the channel. It will also mark the fourth year that the City’s upgraded multi-
camera system is operational in the City Council chamber and the third year that an
upgraded audio system is also utilized in the City Council chamber. This is the first year
that new strategically placed televisions will be broadcasting the PEG channel in public areas
within City Hall, thereby increasing our communication infrastructure with the community.
The goal of the PEG channel is to communicate with residents about City related programs,
meetings, services, events, job postings, and emergency information.
In correlation with each department, the City Manager's Office’s activities are intended to
achieve the City's overall strategic goals. Fiscal Year 2010 achievements are mentioned
within each department's section.
91
City Manager
In addition, the City has a history of placing an emphasis on developing and mentoring our
most important piece of infrastructure – our Staff. The City Manager’s Office places great
importance in the growth, development and leadership skills of our employees, and to that
end, this is the fifth straight year that we have budgeted funds for Staff development
services.
The City’s Economic Development office generates news releases, media information and
contacts, printed materials, direct mail campaigns, and a special electronic newsletter. The
Economic Development Office also sponsors an annual broker/developer workshop focused
on the benefits of doing business in Friendswood. This event is attended by approximately
50 Houston area real estate brokers, developers, and bank representatives. The Economic
Development Coordinator participates in regional, state, and national site visits, tradeshows,
and conferences to promote commercial development to the city.
To maximize our resources, the City continues to participate in regional economic
development partnerships that advocate and pursue issues that are important for retaining
and strengthening the economic base and business climate of our area. These partnerships
include membership in the Friendswood Chamber of Commerce, Galveston County Economic
Alliance and the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.

Administrative Services
Mission Statement
The Administrative Services Department is responsible for providing superior administrative
and financial support services to our citizens and City employees. Customer service to both
our external and internal customers is emphasized and provided through a very diverse set
of programs: Finance, Utility Billing/Customer Service, Human Resources/Risk
Management, Municipal Court Administration, and Information Technology Services.
Current Operations
Finance, comprised of the Accounting and Fiscal Operations divisions, is responsible for the
day to day operations of all financial activities including accounts payable, payroll, revenue
collection, debt management, purchasing, financial and grant reporting and adherence to
accounting standards, Charter requirements and State law.
With oversight from the City’s Investment Committee and in accordance with the City’s
Investment Policy, the Director of Administrative Services invests the City’s financial
resources.
Finance staff prepares the City’s annual budget and working with external auditors,
performs the annual audit and prepares the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Through collaborative efforts between Accounting, Utility Billing, and emergency response
personnel, Administrative Services is responsible for the Alarm Permit/Fines Program
initiated in fiscal year 2009-10.
Utility Billing/Customer Service personnel provide billing, collection, and customer
information services for 12,475 accounts. This includes processing approximately 74,000
bills and payments annually, as well as handling an average of 25,500 phone calls and walk-
in customers annually. This area faces daily challenges as its 3 staff members apply the
City’s ordinance and/or resolution billing and collection policies while meeting customer
expectations. Our goal in the Utility Billing Office is to apply equitable and quality service to
all City utility customers.
Municipal Court’s function is to bring a fair and impartial conclusion to all misdemeanor
cases filed in the City. The Court Office is responsible for maintaining accurate records of all
court cases filed and disposed of in the City, as well as processing payments and serving
warrants. The Municipal Court is currently staffed by 11, including the Presiding Judge, the
Associate Judge, and 2 Prosecutors. With the exception of holidays, the Municipal Court
holds court each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and at 8:30 a.m. on the second and last
Wednesday of the month at the City’s Public Safety Building. Current activity level indicates
we will process approximately 8,500 Class C Misdemeanors during 2011-12. Semi-monthly
daytime court settings, in addition to the weekly evening court setting, help minimize the
delay in setting court dates.
The goal for the Municipal Court is to handle violations in accordance with State Law, City
Ordinance and policies set by the municipal judge and to see that every person is treated
fairly and equally, and to manage court operations efficiently.
The Human Resources/Risk Management division is responsible for all human resource
and risk management functions, which includes but not limited to personnel recruitment and
retention, compensation, EEO compliance, employee benefits, training and development,
new employee orientation, employee safety, unemployment claims, liability and property
insurance claims, personnel policy interpretation and updates. The City’s proactive stance
on work related injuries has resulted in not only the reduction of work related injuries but
100
Administrative Services
also the severity of the injuries. The training provided by the Safety Officer and the support
received from the City Administration, heightens the employee safety awareness. The
results also carry over to safety awareness away from work resulting in few sick days being
used and increasing productivity. Human Resources implemented the mandated changes
to the federal regulations for ADA, COBRA FMLA and health care which includes informing
employees of the changes.
The mission of the Information Technology (IT) division is to provide reliable computer
systems and timely and efficient systems support to all departments by maximizing all
technology related resources, maintaining a current standard of hardware and software, and
provide technical guidance and planning for future systems direction and support.
IT Services operates and maintains the City’s computer hardware and software, and assists
staff in hardware and software usage and training. The computer systems include two IBM
iSeries systems. One is located in City Hall and processes the software for finance,
accounting, land management, building permits, utility billing, work orders, fleet
management, and Municipal Court. The second is located at the Public Safety Building and
hosts the Police Department’s former Crimes and Computer Aided Dispatch software. The
Public Safety iSeries is no longer active and currently serves to host historical data until a
total data conversion is completed.
The City network includes fiber optic cable and data communications equipment connecting
all City buildings to servers, a firewall, and a Storage Area Network (SAN) located at City
Hall, a server at the Public Safety Building, a server at Public Works, and two servers at the
Library. These servers provide for e-mail, file storage, on-line services, and various other
applications. The 3 member IT staff supports over 40 different applications and software
interfaces, a standard set of desktop office applications, and all new technology items
installed in the Public Safety Building. IT provides support for the operation of the City’s
cable TV channel and the on-demand web streaming of City Council meetings. The City’s
web site is also managed by the IT Staff. IT currently supports E-Gov applications for Utility
Bill inquiry and payment, Court case inquiry and payment, Building Permit inquiry and
inspection scheduling.
In fiscal year 2007-08, the IT department implemented an upgrade to the software utilized
by the Police Department and Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department by migrating to the
OSSI software. The system interconnects with surrounding agencies and allows our citizens
access to open records information, online availability of accident reports and names of jail
occupants. The most significant feature of this system is the increased information and
capabilities available to the officer in the field.

Fiscal Year 2010 – 11 Accomplishments
Finance
Government Finance Officers Association Excellence in Financial Reporting Award:
The City received the award for the 22nd consecutive year.
Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award: The City received the award for the 7th consecutive year. Once adopted, the fiscal
year 2011 – 12 budget document will be submitted for consideration.
Municipal Court
Warrant Round-up: The Municipal Court, Police Department, and Fire Marshal’s Office
participated in the state-wide warrant clearing program. During this year’s round-up,
Municipal Court staff cleared 309 warrants with face value of $120,581.48.
Teen Court: The Municipal Court operates the program which allows juvenile offenders to
assume responsibility for their actions through involvement in the judicial process.
Interactive Voice Response System: The Municipal Court, with assistance from the
City’s Information Technology staff, began implementation of IVR to its telephone system.
The electronic feature will provide defendants with 24 hour access to their citation
information and Municipal Court location and business hours.
Questys Imaging System: The imaging equipment and software system allows Court
Clerks to scan all case related documents for permanent electronic record of case files.
Information Technology
New Website: In fiscal year 2010-2011, the City’s website was redesigned and moved to
an off-site host server. Besides providing an updated look and feel, the new host provides a
more redundant and resilient service. In an emergency situation where the City could loose
Internet service, this site will stay operational allowing continued communications and alerts
to be posted. The off-site hosting has the added benefit of allowing updates from any
location with Internet access.
Technology Refresh: The Desktop computers and software used by City Staff were
refreshed in the 2010-2011. The desktop hardware was upgraded to current
“environmentally green” technology with a five year onsite warranty. All new hardware is
Energy Star qualified, new PCs are EPEAT Gold level compliant, and new LED monitors are
EPEAT Silver level compliant. Software was upgraded to current versions to better facilitate
the exchange of information with external organizations.
PEG Channel Equipment and Service Upgrades: Last year the PEG Channel media
player was upgraded to add the ability to stream content to AT&T U-verse customers in
addition to the existing feed to Comcast customers. This year the system was configured
and a link established with AT&T U-verse to begin transmitting content via their channel 99
PEG menu.
Working with the City Manager’s Office, new equipment was also purchased and installed to
show the PEG channel on multiple displays in City Hall during normal business hours. The
equipment will later be set up to show City Council meeting live in City Hall and broadcast
live to Cable/U-verse customers.
Live with new Firewall and new VPN: Last year a new firewall was purchased to
support and protect the City’s access to the Internet. This year, the configuration and
102
Administrative Services
implementation of the new firewall was completed. The new firewall includes extended
protection from Web based threats and the ability to perform advanced content filtering.
Access Control System: IT assisted with installation and conversion of one of the City’s
Access Control Systems to updated equipment and software. This will enable facilities staff
to better manage and control access to certain City facilities.
Upgraded SAN: The Storage Area Network (SAN) was upgraded to improve performance
and increase redundancy. The increase in performance directly improved the quality and
reliability of the system’s periodic backups and helped decrease the time window required to
perform backup jobs. This also removed the largest single point of (potential) failure in the
system.

The City shall strive to maintain the General Fund undesignated fund balance at a minimum
of 90 days of current year budgeted expenditures. Any undesignated funds after the fiscal
year-end audit will be allowed to accumulate to build this 90-day reserve. City financial
policies state that fund balance in excess of 25% (90 days) will be reserved for future
capital improvements.

Municipal Court’s main goal is to handle violations in accordance with State Law, City
Ordinance and policies set by the municipal judge, to see that every person is treated fairly
and equally, and to manage court operations efficiently.
Objective A:
Monitor Municipal Court clearance ratios to ensure efficiency of staff in timely disposition of
incoming caseload and to prevent case backlogs.
Case Clearance Ratio = # of outgoing cases / # of incoming cases

FORECAST
Trend: For the past two years, the established measure of annual case clearance ratio
has been met. However, fiscal year 2010-11 clearance ratio dipped due to a shift in
the types of violations occurring in Friendswood with more cases being processed at
the county court level. While these types of violations are likely to continue in fiscal
year 2011-12, the case clearance ratio is expected to increase with more concentrated
efforts to issue and process City Ordinance Class C Misdemeanor citations. Timely
filing of Fail to Appear or Violate Promise to Appear charges and adding warrants into

Cost Per Case Filed Cost Per Disposed Case
Trend: This performance measure has been enhanced to reflect the Municipal Court’s
cost per case filed as well as its cost per disposed case. Both have trended upward
over the past two years; growing by an average of 12% and 17%, respectively. The
increase in fiscal year 2010-11 is linked to increase in Municipal Court costs and the
types of violations occurring in Friendswood resulting in the cases being tried in the
county court systems. While these types of violations are likely to continue in the
future, it is expected that some efforts will be concentrated on issuing and processing
City Ordinance Class C misdemeanor citations in fiscal year 2011-12.
Timely filing of Fail to Appear or Violate Promise to Appear charges and adding
warrants into SETCIC will continue to help Municipal Court meet its cost per case and
cost per disposed case target.
Objective C:
To increase the number of warrants cleared by 100% or more annually. Collection of
outstanding court fines and fees ensures compliance with court orders and judgments.

To clear a minimum of 100% of all
outstanding warrants annually. 103% * 102% * 109% * 105% *
*Amounts higher than 100% represent cleared warrants older than the current year measured
Trend: Since tracking this measure commenced in fiscal year 2006-07, the Municipal
Court has exceeded 100% clearance of warrants issued.
Annual participation in the state-wide warrant round-up has proven successful and is
likely to increase the results of this performance measure. Two Court Clerks are
designated to assist the court’s Warrant Officer in processing warrants. Municipal
Court staff issues a list of outstanding warrants to Police Department Dispatchers for
data entry into SETCIC. Once a warrant is in SETCIC, a defendant with outstanding
Friendswood warrants is subject to arrest by agencies in the surrounding area. These
cases are also entered into OMNIBASE, the Failure to Appear Program for the State of
106
Administrative Services
Texas. In addition to Municipal Court staff pursuing outstanding warrants, cases are
also submitted to the City’s contracted collections agency, Perdue, Brandon, Fielder,
Collins, and Mott to further pursue outstanding warrants.

With its compensation strategy, the City seeks to attract and retain competent
employees. A major component of that strategy is to measure the comparable wages
of similar jobs through salary surveys. To judge the market demand an annual salary
survey is conducted to measure wage growth compared to benchmark positions within
the City pay plan. In addition to the annual City salary survey, Human Resources
conduct a number of salary surveys for individual positions. These individual position
salary surveys are conducted on positions that demonstrate unique market forces that
may influence wages.

service in a community-police partnership. The Department focuses all available resources to
promote community safety, suppress crime, ensure the safe, orderly movement of traffic, and
protect the constitutional rights of all persons.
Fiscal Year 2010 – 11 Accomplishments
In-car digital video cameras installed in all marked patrol cars in the fleet. They replaced the
VHS cameras that have become obsolete. Additionally, all officers assigned to the patrol
division are now equipped with digital pocket recorders. The recorders along with the PUMA
management system provide a streamlined user interface for downloading, searching, and
retrieving recordings. The server for the digital in-car cameras was funded by the Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. The in-car cameras and digital voice
recorders were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant.
An Automated License Plate Recognition system was installed and deployed on one of the
marked patrol cars. This equipment was funded through a 2009 emergency management
grant.
Progress was made toward the building of a new Animal Control Shelter. A site was selected

Highlights of the Budget
Continuation of Mandated Services and Commitment to Public Safety
The Fiscal Year 2011-2012 budget for the FPD includes requirements to maintain current
operations without additional positions. An officer was approved in the 2010-2011 budget bring
the full authorized sworn strength to 58 officers. The Crime Victim Liaison position has been
partially funded by a federal Victims of Crime Act grant managed by the Governor's office for the
past 11 years. An application for continuation funding for another year had been requested. If
the grant is awarded, total funding will be $50,400.
Capital Replacement
The budget contains critical equipment (both capital and non-capital items). The budget includes
funding for replacement vehicles from the Vehicle Replacement Fund. Based on annual mileage
of 25,000 per vehicle, there will be a need to replace three marked patrol vehicles and one
investigative staff vehicles; at time of replacement each vehicle will have over 100,000 miles. As
part of the Vehicle Replacement Fund, the department replaces emergency light and sound
equipment, speed measuring devices, in-car video cameras and mobile data terminals in marked
patrol cars every six to eight years; making this equipment last through two vehicle lifecycles.
With Ford's decision to discontinue making the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, a Department
focus group studied the alternatives and decided upon the Chevrolet Tahoe. The K-9 and DOT
program already use Chevrolet Tahoe. The Department now has a fleet of seven. So far, the
Tahoe has proven to be a suitable replacement for the Ford Police Interceptors.
Alternative Revenue Streams
The Friendswood Police Department actively seeks grant funding to maintain and improve service
levels to the Friendswood community. Grant funding enables the Police Department to finance
programs and services that benefit the Friendswood community. Current programs and
partnerships include the Victims of Crime Act Grant, LEOSE Training Allocation, Department of
Justice Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act, Texas Comptroller Tobacco grant, sub grantee for the
Harris County Medical Examiner's Cold Case DNA grant, 50/50 cost sharing with Clear Creek
Independent School District for five school crossing guards, the Texas Department of Public
Safety Commercial Vehicle Inspection program, and partnership with the FBI Safe Streets Task
Force. The Department has recently joined with the Houston area High Intensity Drug Trafficking
Area task force and will continue partnership with the Friendswood Independent School District
for a school resource officer and school zone coverage and security fees. To what extent the
partnership with school districts will be is still dependent upon struggling budgets and priorities.

Volunteer Fire Department
Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department to:
x Provide efficient and effective emergency fire & rescue services
x Provide efficient and effective advanced emergency medical care
x Provide education in all areas of life safety including but not limited to fire
prevention, injury prevention, child safety & CPR training
To meet this mission the Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department shall:
x Provide its members with up to date equipment
x Provide its members with the necessary training in order to be able to provide
professional service in a safe and effective manner
x Provide significant monetary savings to the city and citizens of Friendswood through
the use of highly skilled and dedicated volunteers
We live by our Slogan of: Neighbors Serving Neighbors
And we are happy to be: Celebrating over 60 Years of Service
Current Operations
The Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. (FVFD) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit
corporation that was created in 1951 and is dedicated to the protection of life and property
by providing fire suppression, rescue, EMS services, hazardous material response, and
public education on fire and injury prevention to the citizens of Friendswood. The 104
dedicated volunteers of the FVFD provide organization, administration, public education, and
maintenance, training, and volunteer manpower. These volunteers are supplemented by a
small staff of part-time paid personnel who help provide services during the normal
workdays. The City provides the Fire Department with Fire and EMS vehicles and other
required capital equipment, four fire stations, dispatch services and an operating budget
that provides the necessary funds for management and operation of the Department. The
City and the FVFD signed a contract for services which was effective beginning October 1,
2004. Operations and management of the part-time crew and full-time employees
successfully transitioned to the FVFD in October of 2004. The FVFD will be responsible for
administering one full-time paid fire captain, one full time paramedic, one full time clerk and
one part-time clerk and a pool of part-time firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical
technicians. This contract also establishes performance standards and reporting
requirements for the services we provide to the city.
The use of volunteers saves the City an estimated $5.5 million dollars ($5,500,000)
annually in salaries over what it would cost to provide a city of this size with a minimal level
139
Volunteer Fire Department
of services with a full paid department. Approximately 50,000 man-hours are provided by
volunteers performing fire suppression, rescue, EMS services, administration and
management, and providing public education to the citizens of Friendswood. This is not
taking into account the countless hours spent standing-by on-call in town ready to respond
to an emergency.
The FVFD has two operational divisions, the Fire and EMS Divisions. A third division, the
Administrative Division manages the administrative affairs of the department primarily
related to financial matters and payroll, personnel management, recruitment issues, and
facilities management. The Administrative Division is also responsible for public relations,
which are beneficial to the fund raising and public awareness efforts of the department.
The Fire Division consists of 57 members who provide emergency fire suppression services
and rescue services as well as related non-emergency functions such as public education of
fire prevention, personnel training and equipment maintenance. These volunteers respond
from three stations within the city. Fire service personnel participate in the “State
Fireman’s & Fire Marshal’s Association” and/or the “Texas Commission on Fire Protection”
certification programs. The FVFD also has contracts to provide fire and rescue service to
portions of both un-incorporated Harris and Galveston counties. The Fire Division has been
very successful in acquiring several grants this past year that will enhance the programs
offered by the Division and improve firefighter safety. With the addition of the new Fire
Station #4 the Fire Division has seen a substantial growth in the membership number to
provide staffing for the new station. During the past year the Fire Division has provided over
8,000 hours of training to their volunteer membership.

Volunteer Fire Department
The EMS Division consists of 46 volunteers providing emergency medical care and
transport to the residents of the City. These members staff three Advanced Life Support
ambulances and four first responder vehicles as well as a supervisor’s vehicle. All EMS
services are provided in accordance with Texas Department of Health (TDH) requirements
for emergency medical providers. All personnel are certified through the TDH, which
requires a minimum 160 hours training for an EMT and up to 1,204 hours of training for a
Paramedic, followed by required continuing education.
In addition to the training and emergency medical care, these volunteers are also very
active in providing equipment maintenance and preparedness as well as public education
on injury prevention and basic first aid. The EMS Division also has several unique and
award winning programs in place that are supported by this budget as well as grants and
donations. These programs include our Kid Care Program, the Children’s Immunization
Program, and the FVFD Safety Clown Troupe. The EMS Division was awarded the State of
Texas’s top honor being named the Outstanding Volunteer EMS Provider of the Year in
2001 in recognition of the high standards of the program and services provided to the
citizens of Friendswood. The EMS Division was again awarded this recognition in 2007,
becoming one of the few EMS Providers in the State to have won more than once.
In November of 2003, Lisa Camp, our EMS Chief was awarded the State of Texas
Outstanding EMS Administrators’ Award. In 2005-06, Lisa Camp was selected as a
“Hometown Hero” and was asked to throw out the first pitch at a Houston Astros' game.
The Friendswood VFD EMS was also recognized by the Greater Houston EMS Council as
the Outstanding Public Education Provider for EMS in 2006-07. Assistant Chief Kris Kern
was recognized as the Houston area’s “EMS Educator of the Year” in 2007. In early 2011,
Friendswood EMS was awarded the U.S. Congressional Fire Service Institute and Medic-
Alert Foundation’s “National Excellence in Fire-Service Based EMS for 2010”. EMS Chief
Lisa Camp was presented the award on behalf of the Department in Washington, D.C in
April of 2011. A local presentation was made in Friendswood this past May, 2011.

apartment complexes within the city to ensure compliance with fire and life safety codes,
for a total of 1,445 inspections.
x Adoption of the 2009 International Fire Code (IFC) and 2009 National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 2009 Life Safety 101 were accomplished with Resolution R2010-13
(April 19, 2010).

Current Operations
Fire Marshal’s Office
The Fire Marshal’s Office has the primary responsibility of responding to fires, hazardous
materials incidents, and environmental incidents. The Fire Marshal’s Office investigates fires
for origin and cause. The Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for filing the appropriate
criminal charges that may arise from an investigation. Fire prevention activities provided by
the Fire Marshal’s Office include business/commercial inspections, review of new building
plans, and design approval of fire alarm and sprinkler systems. Fire safety public education
programs are presented year-around by request from the public. The Fire Marshal’s Office
also monitors fire lane violations, illegal use of fireworks, life safety violations, and issues
citations as warranted. The Fire Marshal’s Office coordinates with pipeline companies to
maintain current mapping of pipeline locations and company contact information.
The Fire Marshal, Deputy Director, and two (2) Assistant Fire Marshals are state certified
peace officers, arson investigators, fire inspectors, and instructors. The part-time
inspectors are state certified fire inspectors.
145
Fire Marshal
Office of Emergency Management
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is responsible for the emergency preparedness
program of the city. The Fire Marshal is the Emergency Management Coordinator. The
Office of Emergency Management is responsible for maintaining and implementing the city’s
Emergency Operation Plan (EOP). The EOP and 22 supplemental Annexes, including all
additional planning documents, meet all State and Federal requirements.
The OEM coordinated the review and mandatory 5-year update of the FEMA approved City
of Friendswood Hazard Analysis and Mitigation Plan (Local Mitigation Plan–LMP). The
emergency management program addresses citizen and business preparedness through
public education outreach programs. The OEM ensures city staff members are trained in
emergency management operations and response procedures. Utilizing an all hazards
approach, the OEM strives to improve the city’s public safety response capabilities through
planning efforts and coordination with Harris and Galveston Counties. The Fire Marshal’s
Office maintains the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to enable quick activation to
support any emergency or non-emergency operation.
Highlights of the Budget
In the past, both the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management's base budgets were
supplemented by the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG). Partial advanced
funding for FY12 has been requested since the EMPG funding for FY11 has been delayed due
to a failure to pass the federal budget. The EMPG award totaled $51,423 for the past four
years and we anticipate an allocation of this amount again this year. This funding assists
with operational costs.
Decision Packages (Funded)
Emergency Management Performance Grant Ongoing cost $18,000
Departmental Goals and Measures
Goal 1 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 4-Partnerships, 5-Public
Safety, & 6-Organizational Development)
Promote Public Safety and the well being of the citizens, business community and
institutions in the City of Friendswood. Statistically, fire prevention and fire inspection
programs significantly minimize fire losses within a community.
Objective A:
Conduct thorough annual fire prevention inspections in all facilities (commercial businesses,
apartment complexes, schools, city facilities, day care facilities, foster homes, and nursing
homes) within the city to reduce the number of fire code violations, life safety hazards, and
the number of fires.
146
Fire Marshal
Trend: There are approximately 800 businesses/facilities that need to be
inspected per year. Fluctuations reflected in the total numbers are dependent
upon the number of business/facility openings and/or closings during each
fiscal year. Additional inspections or follow-ups are required to ensure
compliance with the fire and life safety codes.
Objective B:
Instruct, educate, and inform the public in aspects of fire safety and prevention, along with
emergency preparedness training through awareness and educational programs.
Trend: Public outreach programs in fire prevention are presented by the Fire
Marshal’s Office to citizens, business community, school district staff, and city
employees. Educational and training programs have been shown to lead to
fewer structure fires. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) considers the number
of programs presented as part of their rating system.
Public outreach programs in emergency preparedness assist residents and
facility owners/operators to prepare themselves and their properties to alleviate
major damages and loss of life as a result of an emergency and/or disaster
situation.

Fire Marshal
Objective C:
Review or update all required and mandated emergency operations plans and annexes, and
all additional planning documents.
The EOP and 22 Supplemental Annexes are reviewed and updated within a five-year cycle
per FEMA and Texas Department of Emergency Management guidelines. The city is
currently rated at the “Advanced” level of “Assessment of Planning Preparedness”, a status
which has been maintained since first utilized by the Texas Department of Emergency
Management in 2001.
Trend: The city’s emergency management plans and the planning process
improve the city’s readiness for, response to, and recovery from emergencies
or disasters. The emergency planning program enhances the city’s response
capabilities to protect citizens and preserve our critical infrastructure. This
allowed the city to qualify for federal reimbursement of expenditures during
the response to and recovery from Hurricane Ike.
The review and update of the City’s Hazard Analysis and Mitigation Plan (Local Mitigation
Plan-LMP) was completed, with FEMA approval received in October 2009. The City Council
adopted the Local Mitigation Plan (LMP) November 2, 2009, with Resolution R2009-61. The
development and maintenance of this plan is coordinated through a committee comprised of
city staff members from the City Manager’s Office, Community Development, Community
Services, Public Works, Fire Marshal’s Office, Emergency Management, Mayor, and
community stakeholders. The adoption of the LMP is mandatory to obtain reimbursement
for emergency and/or disaster recovery assistance through FEMA, and to pursue grant
funding for mitigation programs to enhance protection efforts for city facilities and critical
infrastructure.
Goal 2 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 4-Partnerships, 5-Public
Safety, & 6-Organizational Development)
Facilitate a more productive partnership with developers, contractors and new businesses to
support successful development for the citizens and the city.
Objective A:
Provide continuing contribution for the Design Criteria Manual as well as participation in
Design Review Committee meetings to address developer and contractor questions during
the conceptual stages of the development process.

Trend: The Fire Marshal’s Office and other departments meet with potential
builders/developers to address issues regarding their projects that are important
for a successful project. The process of site plan reviews has been reduced with
the introduction of group site plan reviews. Developers and contractors who
participate in the Design Review Committee (DRC) process require fewer follow-
up inspections in order to complete new construction and remodeling projects.
Objective B:
Conduct and complete submitted plan reviews as received from Community Development.
The Fire Marshal’s Office strives to ensure that commercial buildings are constructed to
meet the requirements of the city’s fire and life safety codes. The review process is also an
aspect to maintain and/or improve the ISO fire insurance rating.

Goal 3 (correlates with City Goal: 6-Organizational Development)
To ensure the Fire Marshal’s Office provides essential training for its employees.
Objective A:
Meet and maintain state and federal mandated continuing education training requirements.
Trend: Mandatory training requirements vary by course length, by
established training cycles (i.e.: 1 year, 2 year, 4 year), new requirements,
unfunded mandates, and availability.
Employees of the Fire Marshal’s Office and the Office of Emergency
Management continue to attend training sessions, seminars, and symposiums
to meet standards and maintain certifications as set forth by the Texas
Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE),
Texas Commission on Fire Protection, Insurance Services Office (ISO), Texas
Governor’s Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Department of Homeland

Community Development
Mission Statement
Community Development consists of several divisions including Building Permits and Inspections;
Code Enforcement; Planning and Zoning; Capital Projects; Engineering; and Storm Water
Management. Together, the department strives to ensure that all developers, builders and
residents within the City comply with city ordinances, as well as any State requirements, in order
to maintain the safety and quality of life that so many Friendswood citizens value and appreciate.
Our staff provides advanced planning and outstanding services in order to help improve mobility,
drainage and utility systems, safe buildings and a clean environment.
Fiscal Year 2010-11 Accomplishments
x CDD staff members received Quarterly Five Star Spirit Awards for three consecutive
quarters
x Planning Division hosted a tour for the P&Z Commissioners to familiarize them with the
City facilities and operations
x Capital Projects managed approximately $10 million of new utility infrastructure
installation
x A brochure was created for the Storm Water Coordinator to distribute which helps
explain the storm water program and the responsibilities of contractors doing
construction
x Code Enforcement improved communication with Home Owners Associations by
conducting a presentation regarding rules of compliance for Code Enforcement
x Engineering completed the first in-house design and construction plan for the parking
project on Stadium Lane and improvements to the Library parking lot
Current Operations
Building Permits & Inspections
The building division is responsible for reviewing plans and issuing permits for building, electrical,
plumbing and mechanical work and inspecting the work as it is completed. Inspectors take on a
great responsibility in enforcing building code standards adopted by City Council and those set
forth by the State.
Code Enforcement & Storm Water Management
Code Enforcement personnel investigates complaints concerning the possibility of unlawful work
done without proper permits, licenses, occupancy, land use violations, substandard and
dangerous buildings complaints, sign violations and high grass and weed complaints. Storm
water management is a program designed to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged from
cities and urbanized areas into creeks and streams. The City of Friendswood’s program has been
developed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality.
Community Development
Planning & Zoning
The Planning & Zoning division ensures that the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance
adopted by the City are enforced. Development Review Committee meetings hosted by the
department provide owners and developers with valuable information regarding the steps to
develop or build on their properties. This division also works with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and oversees the platting and zone change processes.
Capital Projects & Engineering
Capital Projects staff oversees the construction of many projects throughout the City. The
projects are either city sponsored or privately sponsored. Most projects require inspections by
project managers on a regular basis to confirm that new construction of public infrastructure
within City rights-of-way is compliant with the ordinances and policies.
Engineering staff oversees the review of drainage and underground utility plans, as well as
maintaining a close working relationship with Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District to
improve storm water drainage throughout the City.

Department Goals and Measures
Goal 1 (correlates to City Goals: 1-Communication, 2-Economic Development, 3-
Preservation, 4-Partnerships, 5- Public Safety, & 6- Organizational
Development)
The Planning & Zoning division schedules and facilitates Development Review Committee (DRC)
meetings to achieve this goal. Representatives from the following City departments attend DRC
meetings: Planning, Engineering, Building, Community Services, Economic Development, Fire
Marshal’s Office, and the Police Department. Outside agency representatives from Galveston
County Consolidated Drainage District and Galveston County Health District also attend.
Objective A:
Build and maintain working relationships with developers and builders, as well as provide
thorough information to individuals building a single development.
Measure

FY11
Projection
FY12
Forecast
DRC Meetings Scheduled 72 64 65 67
Trend: The number of DRC meetings is dictated solely by the economy and
building activity taking place throughout the City. It is helpful to have these
meetings before a development ever begins both for the property owner and
for the City. The property owner is made aware of the processes they are
Community Development
going to be required to go through (zone change, platting, etc.), and City
staff is made aware of upcoming projects. Staff provides a great deal of
information to the citizen/developer at these meetings, which is intended to
cut down on review times and a citizen/developer having to contact each
department individually.
Goal 2 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication & 6-Organizational Development)
Improve communication to citizens and developers by providing and distributing information in as
many formats as possible.
x Community Development News – a quarterly departmental newsletter that
highlights current topics, permits issued reports, updates on CIP projects,
ordinance changes/updates and pictures of current development; currently emailed
to 1193 recipients four times per year
x Meeting with Home Owners Associations – the City’s Code Enforcement Officer
conducted a presentation regarding rules of compliance for code enforcement
x Pre-Construction Meetings – required prior to any contractor starting construction
on a job site for a new commercial building; the general contractor and all
subcontractors are required to attend
x Regular Updates to Web Site – Capital Projects posts regular updates regarding
road closures and traffic concerns on the City’s web site in order to keep citizens
informed
x P&Z Agenda Packets – on the day of a P&Z meeting, similar to City Council’s
agenda packets, the P&Z Agenda Packets are now made available on the City’s web
site
x Notification Policy – citizens will have the option to sign up and receive e-mail
notifications regarding changes to Permitted Use Table (located in Appendix C,
Zoning Ordinance) and other development related issues; staff will also provide an
informational flyer to include in Utility Billing’s new customer packets and to
distribute as a one-time mail out to all citizens
Trend: The quarterly newsletter has been underway since January 2009
and has received positive feedback. The Notification Policy was just
approved by City Council in May 2011 and is still being initiated.
Community Development
Goal 3 (correlates with City Goal: 6-Organizational Development)
Educated and informed employees have a broader knowledge base and with the wide variety of
certifications, staff becomes more versatile and better able to assist citizens and perform their job
duties.

Goal 4 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 2-Economic Development, 3-

It is a goal of the Community Development Department to process applications for all types of
work which requires inspections and to ensure that citizens abide by the building codes and
ordinances adopted by City Council or as required by the State of Texas or any other agency.

Trend: When existing lots are required to be platted due to being subdivided, they may
qualify for the Short Form Final plat process, which explains why there are only 2 preliminary
plats versus 11 final plats. Also, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
approved the Certificate of Platting Exemption ordinance in 2008, which does not require a
property to be platted if it meets certain criteria, which may explain the decrease in the
number of final plats.
Objective C: Engineering
Below is a table detailing the applications processed by the Engineering Division. Development
Permits are typically issued to property owners clearing undeveloped land, ROW permits are for
work taking place in any City Right-of-Ways and an Attachment #4 is a drainage calculation
usually for homeowners with existing homes adding impervious cover to their property. These
also go to GCCDD for final approval.

development in Friendswood, and in the case of the Utility Service extension taking
place along FM 2351 to Beamer Road, will hopefully spur new development in the
panhandle area. The Melody Lane Reconstruction project is a partnership in that it is
being funded by Galveston County and the City is helping with the project
management.

Highlights of the Budget
Street Maintenance Program
This is the seventh year of this program. This program is intended to be an on-going maintenance
project to repair and reconstruct existing concrete streets, sidewalks, curbs, sealing and asphalt
overlays.
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program
This program will begin its tenth year and is the City’s primary effort to reduce the amount of
infiltration and inflow (I&I) into the collection system. Through this program, a portion of the
entire wastewater collection system is cleaned and inspected by camera. Damaged sections are
170
Public Works
located and a suitable method is selected for the repair. Included in this year’s budget is
$300,000 for this program.
Mowing Tractor
The public works is responsible for the maintenance and the upkeep of the roadside ditches and
drainage easements. These areas are mowed monthly for six cycles. The City uses a slope mower
that was purchased three years ago and a new tractor in fiscal year 2009. Public Works is
requesting another mowing tractor to be added to its fleet this budget year.
Meter Change out Program
This program is to replace the old and the dead meters. New meters provide accurate reading
that will account correct water usage. It reduces the loss of revenue and the unaccounted water.
This program will also assist in complying with the water conservation plan.
Water Wise Program
Water Wise Program is to educate students about water conservation. The City of Friendswood
through an inter-local agreement with Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District sponsors a
water conservation program known as "Learning to Be Water Wise & Energy Efficient". The City
has sponsored the Bales Intermediate and Windsong Intermediate and will continue to do so.

Departmental Goals and Measures
Goal 1 (correlates with City Goal: 6-Organizational Development)
A goal of the Department is to improve customer satisfaction within the Public Works divisions.
To accomplish this goal, the Department implements a number of maintenance programs along
with a set of proactive performance measures that establish better accountability to the
stakeholders serviced by the Department.
Objective A:
Complete Water & Sewer work orders within an average of 2 working days or less, and achieve
this objective at least 90% of the time.

Trends: The Public Works Department begins its eighth year of implementing
several long-range maintenance programs. The success of these programs is
testimony to the hard work of the employees of the division and to the success of
the performance measures detailed above. Closer scrutiny of the last 8 years
indicates that the average time to respond to a Streets and Drainage work order
has been reduced considerably. The systematic, proactive maintenance program
for the City’s infrastructure has led to this success.
Goal 3 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 3-Preservation, & 6-
Organizational Development)
Another goal of the Department is to assure the water demands are met according to the
Subsidence District mandates.
Objective A:
Manage and operate the water facilities in a manner that meets the 80-20 % rule.
Trends: Harris-Galveston coastal Subsidence District requires 80% of the City’s
total water usage is purchased surface water. The City has managed to meet this
requirement since its conception in 2001. It has been and will be a goal to meet it
again this year and years to come. Prior to this mandate the City experienced
ranges between 60-70%. As the population continues to grow, the need for water
will grow as well. The City has purchased additional surface water in order to meet
future demands.

and to provide a community space for the exchange of ideas and access to information.
Highlights of Budget

available in-house and on-line. The library has also added a link on the
library’s website to the newsletter.
The library has also implemented NextReads Reader’s Advisory service which sends out
monthly newsletters on various genres and subjects. This year the library monthly
newsletter was added as an available subscription and also the library “Hot List” of

6 days per week and Centennial Park 6 days per week by contracted Janitorial services.
Parks staff maintains all irrigation systems in parks, around city buildings and the medians
on Friendswood Drive. Maintenance items such as plumbing repairs, electrical repairs,
landscape maintenance, field layout and striping, tree trimming and removal, fence and
gate repairs, field lighting maintenance and repairs and softball infield maintenance are
some of the major tasks also preformed by the Parks staff.
The set up and daily labor for special events such as The 4th of July Celebration, Memorial
Day Celebration, Spring Sparkle, Fall Haul, Youth Sports Day, Kid Fish, Concerts in the Park,
Movie in the Park and many other special events are also part of the Parks Operations
schedule.
Community Services
Facility Operations
The Community Services Department is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the
City Hall building, the Public Safety building, Friendswood Public Library, the Activities
building, the Public Works building, and Fire Stations 1, 2, 3, and 4. Maintenance and
upkeep of all City facilities are done on a scheduled basis. Special projects and other
maintenance requests are performed on a work order priority system. Janitorial services
are accomplished through contract services.
Building Operations shares the same staff as Parks Operations. All work order requests for
anything from moving boxes, to setting up chairs and tables, to major HVAC repairs are
handled by this same staff. As the City grows and more facilities are built, the amount of
work order requests steadily increases. The staff is being cross trained to handle a wide
variety of tasks.
Recreation Programs
The goal is to provide fun and safe recreational programs/events for citizens of all ages.
The objective is to focus on recreational activities that impact both need and interest of the
community. Recreational programs include the Senior Activity Program, Summer Day
Camp, Sesquicentennial Swimming Pool, Adult Sport Leagues, Youth Events and Fitness
Classes.
The Community Services Department does not plan or organize youth sports programs;
however, the department does serve as a liaison between the citizens of Friendswood and
the Friendswood Area Swim Team, Friendswood Mustangs, Friendswood Colts, Friendswood
Broncos, Friendswood Girls Softball Association, Friendswood Little League, Friendswood
Youth Lacrosse and the Space City Soccer Club.
Highlights of the Budget
Centennial Park
All facilities and services are open and available to the public. New amenities for public use
include the lighting of one existing soccer field, a new all weather surfacing four lane track
for walking/jogging and four tennis courts. Existing facilities include a half-mile jogging
trail, the Evelyn B. Newman Amphitheatre, two restroom/concession/picnic pavilions,
playground, two international size soccer fields, two lighted multipurpose fields and one
lighted football field.

Special Projects requested 8 9 10 10
Trend: Special Projects are requested on a regular basis without funding
appropriations and without advanced planning. A special projects schedule
will allow the Community Services Department to plan, program, fund and
complete special projects thus ultimately eliminating the need for Special
Projects.
Community Services
Goal 2 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 3-Preservation, 5-Public
Safety, & 6-Organizational Development)
Complete all Parks and Building Maintenance work orders with a two-day turn-around time
so that citizens, departments and employees will come to expect a normal amount of time
for a work order to be completed.

Trend: The number of Building Maintenance work orders has increased yearly
since 04-05; however, the time to complete the tasks has been reduced with
a maximum of two days completion time for routine work order. With the
completion of the new Public Safety Building and the New Fire Station shortly
after, work orders will increase for the first few years of operation.
Goal 3 (correlates with City Goal: 3-Preservation)
Fund and implement a comprehensive turf management plan for all athletic fields and park
turf areas.
Objective A:
Fertilize all athletic fields 4 times per year, slice cut and top dress once per year, aerify
monthly, and apply herbicides and insecticides one per year. Other park turf and building
lawn areas to be fertilized 2 times each year aerified annually and apply herbicide and
insecticide once per year. All irrigated turf will be watered and mowed on a weekly

Goal 5 (correlates with City Goals: 1-Communication, 3-Preservation, 4-
Partnerships, & 6-Organizational Development)
Present a fun, safe environment that provides senior citizens with unique activities that offer
wellness for the mind and body.
Objective A:
Increase enrollment by providing fun, innovative activities that appeals to senior citizens
regardless of age, background, or income. Average monthly attendance to the Senior
Activity Center programs will increase by 10% from FY11 to FY12.
Trend: The program has seen a slight decrease in the number of participants
since 2009 due to the addition of the Non-Friendswood Resident fee for
participants living outside the city limits of Friendswood. We plan to increase
the program’s monthly attendance by adding fresh, first-rate activities to the
senior citizen program. We provide them with informative speakers,
educational seminars, volunteer instructors, and a variety of options.
Objective B:
Increase the amount of activities, programs, and events offered to the senior citizen
population.
Goal 6 (correlates with City Goals: 3-Preservation, 4-Partnerships, 5-Public Safety,

Trend: The aquatic environment is continually changing and the city pool is
in need of several additions to keep up with current trends. The Community
Services Department is looking into the cost to purchase an interactive water
playground as well as a new pool design. The traditional square pool is no
longer attracting the crowds as it has in the past and changes are needed to
the existing facility to keep up with current trends. The addition of the
Friendswood High School Natatorium will decrease our forecast for FY 2011
and 2012 with the pool being closed from October through April.

Capital Improvement Program
_____________________________________________________________
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Summary
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is a five-year planning tool used to identify the
City of Friendswood’s capital expenditure needs. The plan outlines capital improvements
costs and potential funding sources. In addition to information taken from the City’s CIP
plan, this section of the budget document, will provide estimates for future operating
expenses (if any) related to each capital improvement project identified.
The City’s capital improvements program consists of a capital budget which includes
projected expenditures for the current fiscal year. Capital expenditures, tangible assets or
projects with estimated cost of at least $5,000 with a useful life of at least five (5) years,
are part of the capital budget. The second part of the City’s CIP is the capital program
which consists of anticipated capital expenditures to be purchased or projects to be
completed in the future; beyond the current fiscal year. The CIP categorizes and accounts
for key capital requirements related to expenditures excluded from the capital outlay of the
departmental operating budgets. Our City’s CIP includes significantly costly, non-routine
projects with multiple year life expectancies. These tangible items or projects become fixed
assets for the City. Examples include:
¾Building construction, additions or renovations (Ex. – Public Safety Building)
¾Park Improvements (Ex. - hiking/biking trails, lighting)
¾Major repairs or construction of streets (Ex. – Friendswood Link extension)
¾Water and sewer improvements (Ex. - Water Plant #2 Rehabilitation)
¾Drainage improvements (Ex. – Mud Gulley detention & conveyance)
¾Major equipment replacements/purchases (Ex. – Fire trucks, Computer Refresh)
Upon approval by City Council and funding source confirmation, the projects proposed in the
CIP for the current fiscal year will commence. The remaining unfunded projects in the
future years of the plan will be included in the operating budget, annually, as City Council
determines continued relevance of the projects and approves funding sources. The City
utilizes General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds and undesignated fund balance reserves
to support its Capital Improvements Program. The proposed projects included in this
section of the operating budget document are grouped by funding source and sorted by
estimated year of the project’s completion.
The CIP plan, a document published separately of the City’s operating budget, is currently
waiting City Council review and approval. Therefore, the information presented in this
section of our budget document is in draft format. It reflects the capital improvements
identified, to date, for inclusion in the City’s future capital budget and the capital program.
Capital Improvement Program
_____________________________________________________________
Developing the Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
The goals and objectives of City Council and the City’s financial policies set the framework
for building the annual capital improvement plan. Additionally, the following factors are
considered in our CIP development and implementation:
¾Financial debt capacity (How much can the City borrow for improvements?)
¾Community development opportunities (Is new residential/commercial building
expected in the City?)
¾Land availability (Is the City nearing its build-out capacity?)
¾Staffing resources (Can existing staff levels accommodate the CIP projects?)
¾Stakeholder Input (Staff, Citizens, Committees, Boards and Commissions)
¾Direction from City Council
The capital improvements proposed in the CIP directly impact the City’s other strategic and
long-term planning tools. Our Multi Year Financial Plan (MYFP) is a five year projection of
operational expenses, property values, tax rate estimates, outstanding debt and anticipated
new one-time or ongoing programs. CIP capital improvements cost estimates are noted in
the MYFP’s anticipated new one-time or on-going programs.
The City’s Master Plans, such as the Parks and Open Space Master Plan, Streets Master Plan
and Utility Drainage Master Plan also help to determine capital improvement needs and
priorities. Take the Parks and Open Space Master Plan for example. The plan’s timeframe
is one to ten years and provides guidelines for Parks and Facility improvements as our City’s
population grows. Based on National Recreation and Parks Association Standards, our Plan
recommends 100 acres of park land space per 1,000 residents. The City currently has 200
acres park land. At build-out population is estimated to be 57,400. To meet the Parks and
Open Space Master Plan standard, 574 acres of park land will be needed. As our population
grows toward build-out, park land acquisition will become more of a priority in the City’s
CIP. The City also has a Pavement Master Plan that determines street construction and
major repair projects for inclusion in the CIP. Population growth and life cycles of existing
streets are driving factors in the prioritizing Pavement Master Plan capital improvements.
During the ongoing development of the CIP, stakeholders examine the relationship between
the capital improvements identified and goals outlined in City’s Vision 2020 plan. This plan
was implemented in 1997 with foresight of the City’s build-out projected for the year 2020.
Vision 2020 calls for:
¾Developing Tax Base (improve tax base mix)
¾Improved Infrastructure (water, sewer)
¾Retaining Values (quality of life)
¾Maintaining Quality of Schools
¾Improved Drainage
¾Maintaining High Level of Public Service
¾Being a Whole Life Community (homes, jobs, amenities)
¾Incorporating Vision 2020 in the Master Plan
¾Attracting a College/University
¾Development of a City Civic Center
¾Maintaining Visual Image (prevent undesirable land uses)
¾Transportation Improvement
¾Additional Parks and Recreational Development
¾Being Sensitive to the Environment
Capital Improvement Program
_____________________________________________________________
In stakeholder discussions this year, City Council recommended the tentative calendar
below for addressing the needs identified in the CIP.
Capital Improvement Program Focus
The main goal of City’s Capital Improvement Program is to preserve the existing quality of
life for Friendswood citizens as the community develops by proactively approaching
anticipated needs of the City, forecasting improvement projects and securing financial
resources. According to the proposed plan, “the program is also intended to depict
financial challenges of the City’s growth and maintenance of infrastructure that characterize
the City’s future and the associated funding requirements to meet these objectives.”
As previously stated, population growth is a major driver for our CIP development and
implementation. The 2000 census, reported Friendswood’s population at 29,037. Projected
population for fiscal year 2011 – 2012 is 37,400; a 28.8% increase in 12 years. By our
community’s complete build-out in 10 to 20 years, the population is expected to be at
approximately 57,400.
As a result of this anticipated growth and its subsequent impact, the CIP focuses on utility
infrastructure improvements for the next five years. Immediate need and disaster recovery
grant funding awarded to the City by the Texas Department of Rural Affairs have allowed for
facilities improvements in this year’s capital budget (year one of the CIP). These
improvements include renovations to our Fire Station #3 and installation of natural gas
generators at 37 of the City’s facilities (lift stations, water plants and fire stations).
As will be shown in further portions of this document, 69% of the CIP funding uses are
proposed drainage and utility improvement projects. Proposed streets improvements make
up 21% of the program and facilities improvements total 10%. Minimal parks
improvements are included in the 5 year window of the plan. Beyond the next five years,
the proposed CIP’s focus will shift from utility infrastructure improvements to streets and
facilities improvements when the composition of the plan will be 36% and 64%,
respectively.

_____________________________________________________________
CIP Impact on the Operating Budget
The Capital Improvement Program has a direct effect on the City’s operating budget.
During the annual budget process, ongoing costs for repairs, maintenance, operational
expenditures and in some cases, new personnel cost resulting from capital improvements
are addressed. Also addressed by City Council and staff throughout each fiscal year, is the
impact on the operating budget resulting from matching grants portions of capital projects,
capital lease purchases of equipment and undesignated fund balance appropriations for
capital improvements.
For example, the following estimated maintenance and operating costs for capital
improvements are included in the proposed operating budget for fiscal year 2011 – 2012.
¾Operational supplies cost – approximately $0.33 to $0.97 per sq. ft.
¾Facilities electricity cost – approximately $3.19 to $3.24 per sq. ft.
¾Building maintenance cost – approximately $0.97 to $1.00 per sq. ft.
¾Janitorial services cost – approximately $0.95 to $1.09 per sq. ft.
¾Water, sewer & storm water line cleaning/maintenance – approximately $1,646
per mile
¾Wastewater Treatment – approximately $1.14 per 1,000 gallons

_____________________________________________________________
Due to the nature of some of the projects in the CIP and the timeframe in which capital
improvements will be completed or acquired, quantifying or estimating this impact is
challenging. As explained in the City’s CIP, costs of the projects included in the plan are
determined at current dollars. Then, an inflationary factor is added to surmise future
project cost for the planned date of completion. The inflationary factor is supported by the
Houston Chapter of Associated General Contractors, the U.S. Department of Labor and
Engineering News Report.
The overall impact of the facility, street, drainage, water and sewer Capital Improvements
Program projects will be positive for the City upon completion because upgraded or new
infrastructure results in lower on-going maintenance costs for the City. However, useful life
cycles of infrastructure will remain a factor. Therefore, replacement needs are continuous
and often offset the maintenance savings from new infrastructure.
Staff takes special care in timing CIP projects that may require debt service support to
maintain the City’s property tax rate at a level that will not burden its citizens. As a result,
the City’s capital improvement program includes proposed unfunded projects totaling $84.9
million; $54.2 is general obligation funds supported and $30.7 million supported by service
revenue. As previously stated, projects will be included in the capital budget, annually, as
their continued relevance and funding sources are approved by City Council. Debt level
limits and revenue projections are critical in this process because CIP projects funded by
property tax supported debt have an indirect impact on the operating budget through
resulting principal and interest payment requirements.
Capital Improvements Program Funding
The CIP sights funding as the greatest challenge for the plan due to the aggressive nature
of our City’s plan and increasing construction costs partly resulting from recent hurricanes
affecting the Gulf Coast. This challenge means the City has to utilize a variety of sources
for funding capital expenditures. In the past, the City has issued General Obligation Bonds,
Certificates of Obligation and Revenue Bonds to support the Capital Improvements Plan.
The proposed CIP plan includes $3,485,000 in General Obligations Bonds funding issued in
2005 for street improvement projects slated for completion in the next 3 years.
Other funding sources such as state and federal grants, donations, inter-local agreements,
capital leases and undesignated fund balance reserves have been utilized to pay for capital
expenditures. The City anticipates continuing the use of these funding sources to support
the capital improvements program in the future.
In fiscal year 2009, the City issued water and sewer revenue bonds totaling $12.1 million to
complete water and sewer capital improvements. This year’s CIP includes two of those
projects totaling $4.9 million.
Capital Improvement Program
_____________________________________________________________
Significant Routine and Significant Non-Routine Capital Expenditures
The Water and Sewer Fund capital improvements program includes one significant routine
capital expenditure which is the annual sewer line maintenance and cleaning. The adopted
budget allots $300,000 for this ongoing expense. The City’s capital improvements program
includes one general fund significant routine capital expenditure which is asphalt and
concrete streets improvements program. The amount has varied from year to year
dependent upon general operating funding availability. The adopted budget for fiscal year
2011 – 2012, includes $125,000 for this capital expenditure. The CIP proposes $500,000
for each fiscal year 2013 through 2016.
The City’s recommended significant non-routine capital expenditures for the next five years
of the CIP plan, totaling $110.7 million, will be detailed in further parts of this section of the
budget document. The following tables summarize the CIP plan expenditures by project
year and category. Schedules follow which provide proposed project names, accounting
project identification numbers (if assigned), budget estimates and operating budget impact
(if any).

_____________________________________________________________
GENERAL OBLIGATION PROJECTS
(Planned for FY12 – FY16)
Capital Improvement Program
_____________________________________________________________
Project Name: Natural Gas Emergency Generators
Project Information
Project Type: Emergency Services Year Planned: 2012
Subtype: Critical Facilities
Budget: $2,209,056
Funding Source: TX Dept. Rural Affairs Grant
Description:
The proposed improvements provide natural gas generators to 30+ utility facilities (lift
stations, water plants, etc.) and two fire stations.
Justification:
As a result of Hurricane Ike, the City pursued and obtained a Disaster Recovery Grant from
the Texas Department of Rural Affairs. The proposed improvements provide much needed
backup emergency power to a number of critical city facilities.
Operating Cost:
Natural gas to power the generators for periodic testing will be minimal (less $1,000
annually). Natural gas used during an emergency event is expected to be reimbursed by
FEMA and thus, would not impact the operating budget. Estimated future cost of $70K each
for the generators will be the City’s responsibility at the end of their useful life in 15 – 20
years.
Project Name: Fire Station #3 Renovation
Project Information
Project Type: Emergency Services Year Planned: 2012
Subtype: Critical Facilities
Budget: $367,209
Funding Source: TX Dept. Rural Affairs Grant and Undesignated General Fund Reserves
Description:
The proposed improvements include roof replacement, window and door hardening, mold
remediation, sheet rock and flooring replacement, natural gas generator installing and bay
areas extension.
Justification:
As a result of Hurricane Ike, the City pursued and obtained a Disaster Recovery Grant from
the Texas Department of Rural Affairs. The proposed improvements restore all operational
functions of the facility and provide much needed backup emergency power.
Operating Cost:
No additional maintenance and operating cost will result as this improvement is renovation
to an existing facility. The generator replacement, at an estimated future cost of $70K will
be the City’s responsibility at the end of its useful life in 15 – 20 years.

Project Name: Water Plant #7 Replacement
Project Information
Project Type: Utility Year Planned: 2012
Subtype: Water Distribution Improvements
Budget: $1,625,300
Funding Source: Not yet identified
Description:
The rehabilitation will include the replacement of control room, chemical room, conversion
of pumps, and ground storage tank as necessary. Replace all valves and piping as
necessary. The existing cyclone fence will be replaced with 8 feet cedar wood. The existing
tanks are made of galvanized steel with a capacity of 210,000 gallons and 63,000
respectably and may require replacement with one half-million gallon tank. Final
recommendation for project will come out of a Preliminary Engineering Report. Recondition
existing generator set.
Justification:
This well site is in need of a new control room. The existing room is too small for safety
when performing electrical repair work and no longer meets National Electric Codes (NEC).
The existing switchgear is at the end of its usable life. The room also floods when there is
any rainfall. A new control room/chemical room will eliminate this situation. A replacement
of the existing vertical turbine pumps with horizontal units would provide a more efficient
operation. The ground storage tanks should be replaced as necessary with half million gallon
ground storage as dictated by the last ground storage tank inspection. At this time the
replacement of all needed piping and accessories should be done. The existing automatic
transfer switch at the site was hit by lightening and partially destroyed. A new switch would
enable this site to automatically transfer power when needed. Reconditioning the existing
generator set including increasing the diesel tank capacity would make this emergency
power system more reliable.
Operating Cost:
No additional maintenance and operational cost are associated with this capital
improvement as it is a replacement for an existing water plant.

Project Name: East FM 528 Water Line
Project Information
Project Type: Utility Year Planned: 2015
Subtype: Water Distribution Improvements
Budget: $1,828,000
Funding Source: Not yet identified
Description:
This project consists of the installation of 2,850 linear feet of fourteen-inch waterline that
would extend water service to the East Service Area, and then loop the line back into the
existing system by installing 6,600 linear feet of twelve-inch waterline down to Bay Area
Boulevard.
Justification:
The Water Distribution System is stretched thin when it gets beyond Bay Area Boulevard,
south of FM 528. There are also not enough loops back to sustain pressure in this area.
This will give potable water to the eastern most area of the City and loop the FM 528 line to
the Bay Area Boulevard line.
Operating Cost:
This capital improvement project involves adding a total of 9,450 linear feet (or 1.8 miles)
to the City’s existing waterlines. Based on current waterline maintenance cost of
approximately $1,646 per mile, additional annual operating maintenance cost for this
project will be about $2,900 to $3,000.

Project Name: 42 Inch Water Main Replacement
Project Information
Project Type: Utility Year Planned: 2015
Subtype: Water Distribution Improvements
Budget: $2,291,000
Funding Source: Not yet identified
Description:
This is a co-participation project with the City of Houston and other participants in the
upgrade of the main north / south surface water transmission pipeline from the Southeast
Water Purification Plant along State Highway 3. Texas Department of Transportation plans
to widen State Highway 3 and it will be necessary to remove the existing pipeline from the
State right-of-way in preparation for that project. This presents an opportunity to up-size
this transmission line when it is removed from the easement. The removal / construction
project will be managed by the City of Houston and Participant’s cost share will be based on
a pro-rata use according to their distribution allocation. Friendswood’s distribution
allocation from this line is balanced by its distribution allocation from the 36-inch line on
Beamer. Replacement and movement of the 42-inch line to a location outside of the
Highway 3 ROW is planned for completion by 2015 in order for Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) project to proceed on schedule.
Justification:
The City of Friendswood is a participant in the operation and maintenance of the 42 inch
Water Line. That pro-rata participation is reduced by its participation in the Beamer Road
36 inch transmission line. The City is dependent on these as the source of surface water
required to meet the Ground Water Reduction Plan as established in 2001, and to meet
growing population requirements through build-out.
Operating Cost:
The City is currently charged $0.64 per gallon for surface water received through this
waterline. Completion of this capital improvement project will not result in any additional
water to the City; therefore no additional operating costs are expected.

Debt Service Funds Overview
Debt Limits
The total estimated general obligation tax debt presented in this year’s proposed budget is $25,027,469. This amount is less than the
debt limit of $31,899,548 stipulated by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Home Rule Cities debt limit of $59,073,237 based on
the City’s estimated net assessed tax base.
The Tax Debt Service Fund is used to account for property taxes levied for payment of principal and interest on all general long-term
debt of the City. The basis of budgeting for the Tax Debt Service Fund is the modified accrual method and is the same as the basis of
accounting reported in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The City and various other political subdivisions of government which overlap all or a portion of the City are empowered to incur debt to
be paid from revenues raised or to be raised by taxation against all or a portion of property within the City. Article XI, Section 5 of the
Texas Constitution, provides for an overall limitation for Home Rule Cities of $2.50 per $100 assessed valuation.
The Attorney General of Texas follows a policy, with respect to Home Rule Cities which have a $2.50 limitation of approving ad valorem
tax bonds only to the extent that all of such city’s ad valorem tax debt can be serviced by a debt service tax rate of $1.50 at 90%
collection, or $1.35 per $100 of net assessed value at 100% collection rate.
This year’s proposed budget reflects an estimated debt service rate of $0.0684 per $100 of net assessed value at 100% collection;
which will yield approximately $1,614,607; on an estimated net assessed tax based of $2,362,929,430.
In FY 2010-11, the City refinanced its 2001 Series Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds as Series 2010B General Obligation Bonds. Debt
service payments on the Series 2010B Bonds will be supported by the Water & Sewer Fund through annual transfers to the Tax Debt
Service Fund over the entire life of the bonds. This refinancing strategy did not alter the maturity date of the outstanding debt and
resulted in a significant rate difference that will lower the interest amount due over the life of the bonds.

Financial Management Policy
(With Adopted Revisions)
296
Introduction. The City of Friendswood assumes an important responsibility to its citizens and
customers to carefully account for public funds, to manage City finances wisely and to plan for the
adequate funding of services desired by the public.
The main goal of this Policy is to help the City achieve a long-term, stable and positive, financial
condition. The City’s financial management, as directed by this Policy, is based on the foundation
of integrity, prudent stewardship, planning, accountability and full disclosure.
The purpose of the Policy is to provide guidance for planning and directing the City’s daily
financial affairs. This Policy provides a framework in pursuit of the following objectives.
Financial Objectives
Revenues
Design and administer a revenue system that will assure a reliable, equitable and sufficient
revenue stream to support desired City services.
Expenditures
Identify priority services, establish and define appropriate service levels and administer
the expenditure of available resources to assure fiscal stability and the effective and
efficient delivery of these services.
Fund Balance/Retained Earnings
Maintain the fund balance and retained earnings of the various operating funds at levels
sufficient to protect the City’s credit worthiness, as well as its financial position, during
times of emergency.
Capital Expenditures and Improvements
Annually review and monitor the condition of the City’s capital equipment and
infrastructure, setting priorities for its replacement and renovation based on needs,
funding alternatives and availability of resources.
Debt Management
Establish guidelines for debt financing that will provide needed capital equipment and
infrastructure improvements, while minimizing the impact of debt payments on current
and future revenues.
Investments
Invest the City’s operating cash to ensure its safety, provide necessary liquidity and
maximize yield. Return on investment is of least importance compared to the safety and
liquidity objectives.
Intergovernmental Relations
Coordinate efforts with other governmental agencies to achieve common policy objectives,
share the cost of providing governmental services on an equitable basis and support
appropriate favorable legislation at the state and federal levels.
Grants
Aggressively investigate, pursue and effectively administer federal, state and foundation
grants-in-aid, which address the City’s current priorities and policy objectives.
297
Economic Development
Initiate, encourage and participate in economic development efforts to create job
opportunities and strengthen the local economy and tax base.
Fiscal Monitoring
Analyze financial data and prepare reports that reflect the City’s financial performance and
economic condition.
Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting
Comply with prevailing federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Conform to
generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and
the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
Internal Control
Maintain an environment to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets
are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition.
Risk Management
Prevent and/or reduce financial impact to the City of claims and losses through prevention
and transfer of liability.

Develop and maintain a balanced budget (defined as a term signifying budgeted
expenditures being offset by budgeted revenues), which presents a clear understanding of
goals, service levels and performance standards. The document shall, to the extent
possible, be “user-friendly” for citizens.
I. Revenues
The City shall use the following guidelines to design and administer a revenue system that will
assure a reliable, equitable and sufficient revenue stream to support desired City services.
Balance and Diversification in Revenue Sources
The City shall strive to maintain a balanced and diversified revenue system to protect the
City from fluctuations in any one source due to changes in economic conditions, which
adversely impact that source.
User Fees
For services that benefit specific users, where possible, the City shall establish and collect
fees to recover the full direct and indirect cost of those services. City staff shall review
user fees on a regular basis to calculate their full cost recovery levels, to compare them to
the current fee structure and to recommend adjustments where necessary.
Property Tax Revenues/Tax Rate
The City shall endeavor to reduce its reliance on property tax revenues by revenue
diversification, implementation and continued use of user fees and economic development.
The City shall also strive to stabilize its tax rate and minimize tax rate increases.
298
Utility/Enterprise Funds User Fees
Utility rates and enterprise funds user fees shall be set at levels sufficient to cover
operating expenditures, meet debt obligations, provide additional funding for capital
improvements and provide adequate levels of working capital.
Administrative Services Charges
The City shall prepare a cost allocation plan annually to determine the administrative
services charges due the General Fund from enterprise funds for overhead and staff
support. Where appropriate, the enterprise funds shall pay the General Fund for direct
services rendered.
Revenue Estimates for Budgeting
In order to maintain a stable level of services, the City shall use a conservative, objective
and analytical approach when preparing revenue estimates. The process shall include
analysis of probable economic changes and their impacts on revenues, historical collection
rates and trends in revenues. This approach should reduce the likelihood of actual
revenues falling short of budget estimates during the year, which otherwise could result in
mid-year service reductions.
Revenue Collection and Administration
The City shall maintain high collection rates for all revenues by keeping the revenue
system as simple as possible to facilitate payment. In addition, since a revenue source
should exceed the cost of producing it, the City shall strive to control and reduce
administrative costs. The City shall pursue to the full extent allowed by state law all
delinquent taxpayers and others overdue in payments to the City.
II. Expenditures
The City shall use the following guidelines to identify necessary services, establish appropriate
service levels and administer the expenditure of available resources to assure fiscal stability and
the effective and efficient delivery of services.
Current Funding Basis
The City shall operate on a current funding basis. Expenditures shall be budgeted and
controlled so as not to exceed current revenues.
Avoidance of Operating Deficits
The City shall take immediate corrective action, if at any time during the fiscal year,
expenditure and revenue estimates are such that an operating deficit is projected at year-
end.
Maintenance of Capital Assets
Within the resources available each fiscal year, the City shall maintain capital assets and
infrastructure at a sufficient level to protect the City’s investment, to minimize future
replacement and maintenance costs and to continue acceptable service levels.
Periodic Program Reviews
Periodic program review for efficiency and effectiveness shall be performed. Programs not
meeting efficiency or effectiveness objectives shall be brought up to required standards, or
be subject to reduction or elimination.
299
Purchasing
The City shall make every effort to maximize any discounts offered by creditors/vendors.
The City will follow state law and the City of Friendswood Purchasing Manual concerning
formal bidding procedures and approval by the City Council. For purchases where
competitive bidding is not required, the City shall obtain the most favorable terms and
pricing possible.
The City Manager, or his designee, shall have the authority to approve and sign contracts
and/or purchases for budgeted goods or services that do not exceed the state law bid
limitation of $50,000. Contracts or purchases for items in excess of the state law bid limit
shall be placed on a Council agenda for action authorizing the Mayor, or his designee’s,
signature.
III. Fund Balance/Working Capital/Net Assets
The City shall use the following guidelines to maintain the fund balance and retained earnings of
the various operating funds at levels sufficient to protect the City's creditworthiness as well as its
financial position from unforeseeable emergencies.
General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance
The City shall strive to maintain the General Fund unassigned fund balance at a minimum
of 90 days of prior year audited operating expenditures.
Any unassigned funds after the fiscal year-end audit will be allowed to accumulate to build
this 90-day reserve.
After the General Fund has gathered sufficient resources, additional unassigned funds will
be allowed to accumulate for future General Fund capital improvements.
Unrestricted Net Assets of Other Operating Funds; Water and Sewer Working Capital
In other operating funds, the City shall strive to maintain a positive unrestricted net
position to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies and revenue shortfalls. The
minimum working capital in the Water and Sewer Fund shall be 90 days of prior year
audited operating expenses.
Any unrestricted funds after the fiscal year-end audit will be allowed to accumulate to
build this 90-day reserve.
After these funds have gathered sufficient resources, additional unrestricted funds will be
allowed to accumulate in working capital for future utility/operating fund capital
improvements.
Use of Fund Balance/ Working Capital
Fund Balance/ Working Capital may be used in one or a combination of the following ways:
o Emergencies,
o One-time expenditures that do not increase recurring operating costs;
o Major capital purchases; and
o Start-up expenditures for new programs undertaken at mid-year, provided such
action is considered in the context of multiyear projections of program revenues
and expenditures.
Should such use reduce the balance below the appropriate level set as the objective for
that fund, the City shall take action necessary to restore the unassigned fund balance or
working capital to acceptable levels within three years.
300
IV. Capital Expenditures and Improvements
The City shall annually review and monitor the condition of the City’s capital equipment and
infrastructure, setting priorities for its replacement and renovation based on needs, funding
alternatives and availability of resources.
Capital Improvements Planning Program
The City shall annually review the Capital Improvements Planning Program (CIP), the
current status of the City’s infrastructure, replacement and renovation needs and potential
new projects and update the program as appropriate. All projects, ongoing and proposed,
shall be prioritized based on an analysis of current needs and resource availability. For
every project, all operation, maintenance and replacement costs shall be fully costed. The
CIP shall also present the City’s long-term borrowing plan, debt payment schedules and
other debt outstanding or planned, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and
certificates of obligation.
Replacement of City Vehicles
The City shall annually prepare a schedule for the replacement of its vehicles. Within the
resources available each fiscal year, the City shall replace these assets according to this
schedule.
The Vehicle Replacement Fund will purchase all City vehicles that cost less than $50,000.
Departments will then make annual contributions to this fund, based on the life
expectancy of their equipment, to replace the funds used to purchase vehicles.
Vehicles and heavy equipment that cost more than $50,000 may be funded by one of the
capital expenditure financing methods discussed below.
Capital Expenditures Financing
x The City recognizes that there are several methods of financing capital items. It can
budget the funds from current revenues; take the funds from fund balance/working
capital, as allowed by the Fund Balance/working capital Policy; utilize funds from grants;
or it can borrow the money through some form of debt instrument. Debt financing
includes general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of obligation and capital
lease agreements.
Capitalization Threshold for Tangible Capital Assets
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that “best practice” guidelines
be followed in establishing capitalization thresholds for tangible capital-type items. Accordingly,
the following criteria shall be established with the adoption of this policy.
x Individual items costing $5,000 or more will be capitalized and depreciated according to
Governmental Accounting Standards Board rules. This amount will be adjusted as changes
are recommended in GFOA’s “best practices” guidelines.
Tangible capital-type items will only be capitalized if they have any estimated useful life of
at least five years following the date of acquisition.
Capitalization thresholds will be applied to individual items rather than to groups of similar
items (e.g., desks and tables).
Adequate control procedures at the department level will be established to ensure
adequate control over noncapitalized tangible items.
301
V. Debt Management
The City shall use the following guidelines for debt financing used to provide needed capital
equipment and infrastructure improvements, while minimizing the impact of debt payments on
current and future revenues.
Use of Debt Financing
Debt financing, to include general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of
obligation and capital lease agreements, shall only be used to acquire capital assets.
Amortization of Debt
Amortization of debt shall be structured in accordance with a multi-year capital
improvement plan. The term of a debt issue will never exceed the useful life of the capital
asset being financed.
Affordability Targets
The City shall use an objective, analytical approach to determine whether it can afford to
assume new debt beyond the amount it retires each year. This process shall compare
generally accepted standards of affordability to the current values for the City. These
standards shall include debt per capita, debt as a percent of taxable value and debt service
payments as a percent of current revenues and current expenditures. The process shall
also examine the direct costs and benefits of the proposed expenditures as determined in
the City’s annual update of the Capital Improvements Planning Program. The decision on
whether or not to assume new debt shall be based on these costs and benefits and on the
City’s ability to afford new debt as determined by the aforementioned standards.
Sale Process
The City shall use a competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless the nature of
the issue warrants a negotiated bid.
Rating Agencies Presentation
Full disclosure of operations and open lines of communication shall be made available to
the rating agencies. City staff, with assistance of financial advisors, shall prepare the
necessary materials and presentation to the rating agencies.
Continuing Disclosure
The City is committed to continuing disclosure of financial and pertinent credit information
relevant to the City’s outstanding issues.
Debt Refunding
City staff and the financial advisor shall monitor the municipal bond market for
opportunities to obtain interest savings by refunding outstanding debt. A proposed
refunding of debt, for interest cost savings, should provide a present value benefit as a
percent of refunded principal of at least 3%.
VI. Investments
The City’s cash shall be invested in such a manner so as to ensure the absolute safety of principal
and interest, to meet the liquidity needs of the City and to achieve the highest possible yield in
302
accordance with the City’s Investment Policy. Interest earned from investment shall be
distributed to the City’s funds from which the money was provided.
VII. Intergovernmental Relations
The City shall coordinate efforts with other governmental agencies to achieve common policy
objectives, share the cost of providing government services on an equitable basis and support
appropriate favorable legislation at the state and federal levels.
Interlocal Cooperation in Delivery of Services
In order to promote the effective and efficient delivery of services, the City shall work with
other local jurisdictions to share on an equitable basis the costs of services, to share
facilities and to develop joint programs to improve service to its citizens.
Legislative Program
The City shall cooperate with other jurisdictions to actively oppose any state or federal
regulation or proposal that mandates additional City programs or services and does not
provide the funding necessary for implementation.
VIII. Grants
The City shall seek to obtain and effectively administer federal, state and foundation grants-in-aid
that address the City’s current and future priorities and policy objectives.
Grant Guidelines
The City shall seek to obtain those grants that are consistent with priority needs and
objectives identified by Council.
Indirect Costs
The City shall recover indirect costs to the maximum amount allowed by the funding
source. The City may waive or reduce indirect costs if doing so will significantly increase
the effectiveness of the grant.
Grant Review
The City shall review all grant submittals requiring an in-kind match requirement to
determine their potential impact on the operating budget, and the extent to which they
meet the City’s policy objectives. If there is a cash match requirement, the source of
funding shall be identified and approved prior to application.
Prior to submission, all grant requests will be reviewed by Administrative Services to
ensure the benefits to the City exceed the administrative costs incurred throughout the life
of the grant.
Grant Program Termination
The City shall terminate grant-funded programs and associated positions as directed by
the City Council when grant funds are no longer available, unless alternate funding is
identified.
IX. Economic Development
The City shall initiate, encourage and participate in economic development efforts to create job
opportunities and strengthen the local economy and tax base.
303
Commitment to Expansion and Diversification
The City shall encourage and participate in economic development efforts to expand
Friendswood’s economy and tax base, to increase local employment and to invest when
there is a defined, specific long-term return. These efforts shall not only focus on new
areas, but on established sections of the City where development can generate additional
jobs and other economic benefits.
Tax Abatements
The City of Friendswood is committed to the promotion of quality development in all parts
of the City. On a case-by-case basis, the City will give consideration to providing tax
abatement on the increment in value added to a particular property by a specific
development proposal, which meets the economic goals and objectives of the City.
The tax abatement shall not apply to any portion of the inventory or land value of the
project.
Tax abatement may be offered on improvements to real property owned by the applicant
and/or on new personal property brought to the site by the applicant.
Tax abatement will not be ordinarily considered for projects which would be developed
without such incentives unless it can be demonstrated that higher development standards
or other development and community goals will be achieved through the use of the
abatement.
Increase Non-Residential Share of Tax Base
The City’s economic development program shall seek to expand the non-residential share
of the tax base to decrease the tax burden on residential homeowners.
Coordinate Efforts With Other Jurisdictions
The City’s economic development program shall encourage close cooperation with other
local jurisdictions to promote the economic well being of this area.
X. Fiscal Monitoring
Reports shall be prepared and presented on a regular basis that analyze, evaluate and forecast
the City’s financial performance and economic condition.
Financial Status and Performance Reports
Monthly reports shall be prepared comparing expenditures and revenues to original and
amended budgets, for the month and fiscal year-to-date. Explanatory notes will be
included, as needed.
XI. Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting
The City shall comply with prevailing local, state and federal regulations. Its accounting practices
and financial reporting shall conform to generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). The City Council
shall select an independent firm of certified public accountants to perform an annual audit of its
accounting and financial reporting practices.
304
XII. Internal Control
The Director of Administrative Services is responsible for developing citywide, written guidelines
on accounting, handling of cash and other financial matters. The Director of Administrative
Services will assist Department Directors as needed, in tailoring these guidelines into detailed
written procedures to fit each department’s specific requirements.
Each Department Director is responsible to ensure that good internal controls are followed
throughout his or her department, that all guidelines on accounting and internal controls are
implemented and that all independent auditor internal control recommendations are addressed.
XIII. Risk Management
The City will utilize a safety program, an employee health program and a risk management
program to prevent and/or reduce the financial impact to the City due to claims and losses.
Transfer of liability for claims through transfer to other entities through insurance and/or by
contract will be utilized where appropriate. Prevention of loss through the safety program and the
employee health program will be employed.
XIV. Operating Budget
The City shall establish an operating budget that shall link revenues and expenditures to City
Council goals, service and performance standards.
Any transfer of intradepartmental appropriations shall be authorized, in writing, by the City
manager. No transfer more than $50,000 shall be authorized by the City Manager without prior
approval of the City Council. Written justification shall be attached to each request to the City
Manager for a transfer of appropriation and, if authorized, the written justification shall be
attached to the City Manager’s written authorization. All applicable bidding and purchasing laws
shall be followed. New capital projects or projects not otherwise provided for in the budget shall
not be funded through transfers.

ENTERPRISE FUND
(1) A fund established to account for operations financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business enterprises (e.g., water, gas and electric utilities; airports; parking garages; or
transit systems). In this case, the governing body intends that costs (i.e., expenses, including

seven fund types are: general, special revenue, debt service, capital projects, enterprise,
internal service, and trust and agency.

for in another fund.
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt expected to be repaid from governmental funds.
GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)
Uniform minimum standards and guidelines for financial accounting and reporting. They govern
the form and content of the financial statements of an entity. GAAP encompass the
conventions, rules and procedures necessary to define accepted accounting practice at a
particular time. They include not only broad guidelines of general application, but also detailed
practices and procedures. GAAP provide a standard by which to measure financial
presentations. The primary authoritative body on the application of GAAP to state and local
governments is the GASB.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
Funds used to account for the acquisition, use and balances of expendable financial resources
and the related current liabilities-except those accounted for in proprietary funds and fiduciary
309
funds. In essence, the funds are accounting segregation of financial resources. Expendable
assets are assigned to the particular fund type according to the purposes for which they may or
must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund type from which they are to be paid.
The difference between the assets and liabilities of governmental fund types is referred to as
fund balance. The measurement focus in these fund types is on the determination of financial
position and changes in financial position (sources, used and balances of financial resources),
rather than on net income determination. The statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balance is the primary governmental fund type operating statement. It may be
supported or supplemented by more detailed schedules of revenues, expenditures, transfers and
other changes in fund balance. Under current GAAP, there are four governmental fund types:
general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects.
IMPACT FEES
Fees charged to developers to cover, in whole or in part, the anticipated cost of improvements
that will be necessary as a result of the development.
INTERFUND TRANSFERS
All inter-fund transactions except loans, quasi-external transactions and reimbursements.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
Revenues from other governments in the forms of grants, entitlements, shared revenues or
payment in lieu of taxes
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
A fund used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or
agency to other departments or agencies of a government, or to other governments, on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
LEVY
(1) (Verb) to impose taxes, special assessments or service charges for the support of
government activities. (2) (Noun) the total amount of taxes, special assessments or service
charges imposed by a government.
LIABILITIES
Probable future sacrifices of economic benefits, arising from present obligations of a particular
entity to transfer or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past
transactions or events.
MAINTENANCE
The act of keeping capital assets in a state of good repair. It includes preventative
maintenance, normal periodic repairs; replacement of parts, structural components and so forth
and other activities needed to maintain the asset so that it continues to provide normal services
and achieves its optimum life.
MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS
The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental fund-type measurement focus.
Under it, revenues and other financial resources increments (e.g., bond issue proceeds) are
recognized when they become susceptible to accrual that is when they become both
"measurable" and "available to finance expenditures of the current." "Available" means
collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred except for (1)
inventories of materials and supplies that may be considered expenditure either when purchased
or when used, and (2) prepaid insurance and similar items that may be considered expenditures
either when paid for or when consumed. All governmental funds, expendable trust funds and
agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis accounting.
310
OBJECT
As used in expenditure classification, applies to the article purchased or the service obtained,
rather than to the purpose for which the article or service was purchased or obtained (e.g.,
personal services, contractual services, materials and supplies).
ORDINANCE
A formal legislative enactment by the governing body of a municipality. If it is not in conflict
with any higher form of law, such as state statute or constitutional provision, it has the full force
and effect of law within the boundaries of the municipality to which it applies. The difference
between and ordinance and a resolution is that the latter requires less legal formality and has a
lower legal status. Ordinarily, the statutes or charter will specify or imply those legislative
actions that must be by ordinance and those that may be by resolution. Revenue-raising
measures, such as the imposition of taxes, special assessments and
service charges, universally require ordinances.
ORGANIZATIONAL-UNIT CLASSIFICATION
(ORG UNIT) Expenditure classification according to responsibility centers within a government's
organizational structure. Classification of expenditures by organizational unit is essential to
fulfilling stewardship responsibility for individual government resources.
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Sometimes referred to as income determination or commercial-type funds, the classification
used to account for a government's ongoing organizations and activities that are similar to those
often found in the private sector (i.e., enterprise and internal service funds). All assets,
liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and transfers relating to the government's business and
quasi-business activities are accounted for through proprietary funds. The GAAP used are
generally those applicable to similar businesses in the private sector and the measurement focus
is on determination of net income, financial position and changes in financial position. However,
where the GASB has issued pronouncements applicable to those entities and activities, they
should be guided by these pronouncements.
RESERVED
An element of the equity section of the governmental fund balance sheet comprised of three
major fund balance elements: reserved; unreserved, designated; and unreserved,
undesignated. When used in association with the governmental funds, the term “reserved”
should be limited to describing the portion of fund balance that is (1) not available for
appropriation or expenditure and/or (2) is segregated legally for a specific future use. A
common example of the first type of reservation within the governmental funds is “reserved for
inventories.” Another example, “reserved for loans receivable,” represents amounts expected to
be collected in the future. Therefore, this receivable is not available for expenditure or
appropriation at the balance sheet date. In this instance, the loans receivable amount is not
associated with revenue recognition. However, if outstanding receivables (e.g., property taxes)
are related to revenue that is not available, deferred revenue should be reported, not a
reservation of fund balance. . “Reserved for Encumbrances” is a common example of the
second reserve type. This type of reserve is legally earmarked for a specific purpose.
Generally, the reservations are based on third-party restrictions (e.g., contract with vendor).
RETAINED EARNINGS
An equity account reflecting the accumulated earnings of an enterprise or internal service fund
REVENUES
(1) Increases in the net current assets of a governmental fund type from other than
expenditure refunds and residual equity transfers. Also, general long-term debt proceeds and
operating transfers are classified as "other financing sources" rather than as revenues.
311
(2) Increases in the net total assets of a proprietary fund type from other than expense
refunds, capital contributions and residual equity transfers. Also, operating transfers in are
classified separately from revenues.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND
A fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable
trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditure for specified purposes.
GAAP only requires the use of special revenue funds when legally mandated.
TAX RATE
The amount of tax stated in terms of a unit of the tax base (e.g., 25 mills per dollar of assessed
valuation of taxable property.)
TAX ROLL
The official list showing the amount of taxes levied against each taxpayer or property.
Frequently, the tax roll and the assessment roll are combined, but even in these cases the two
can be distinguished.
TRUST FUNDS
Funds used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity or as an
agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, and/or other funds.
These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) nonexpendable trust funds, (c) pension trust
funds, and (d) agency funds.
UNRESERVED
The equity section of the governmental fund balance sheet is comprised of three major fund
balance elements: reserved; unreserved, designated; and unreserved, undesignated. (Also
reference Unreserved, Designated and Unreserved, Undesignated.)
UNRESERVED, DESIGNATED
A designation of unreserved fund balance established by a government to indicate tentative
plans for the use of current financial resources in the future. Examples of designations include
equipment replacement and contingencies. These designations should not cause the
government to report a deficit unreserved, undesignated fund balance. In addition, a
government should not report a deficit unreserved, designated fund balance. In effect, a
government cannot designate resources that are not available for expenditure.
UNRESERVED, UNDESIGNATED
An “unreserved, undesignated fund balance” represents financial resources available to finance
expenditures other than those tentatively planned by the government.
VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PLAN
(VRP) A term used to refer to a plan of vehicle fleet replacements over the next ten years.
