INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to set forth specific investment policy and strategy guidelines for
the City of Coppell in order to achieve the goals of safety, liquidity, yield, and public trust for all
investment activity. The City Council of the City of Coppell shall review its investment strategies
and policy not less than annually. This policy serves to satisfy the statutory requirement of Chapter
2256, Texas Government Code as amended, to define, adopt and review a formal investment
strategy and policy.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The City of Coppell maintains portfolios utilizing four specific investment strategy considerations
designed to address the unique characteristics of the fund groups represented in the portfolios:
A. Investment strategies for operating funds and commingled pools containing
operating funds have as their primary objective to assure that anticipated cash flows
are matched with adequate investment liquidity. The secondary objective is to create
a portfolio structure which will experience minimal volatility during economic
cycles. This may be accomplished by purchasing high quality, short-to-medium-
term securities which will complement each other in a laddered or barbell maturity
structure. The dollar weighted average maturity of 365 days or less will be
calculated using the stated final maturity date of each security.
B. Investment strategies for debt service funds shall have as the primary objective the
assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt service obligation on the
required payment date. Securities purchased shall not have a stated final maturity
date that exceeds the debt service payment date.
C. Investment strategies for debt service reserve funds shall have as the primary
objective the ability to generate a dependable revenue stream to the appropriate debt
service fund from securities with a low degree of volatility. Securities should be of
high quality and, except as may be required by the bond ordinance specific to an
individual issue, of short to intermediate-term maturities. Volatility shall be further
controlled through maturity and quality range, without paying premium, if at all
possible. Such securities will tend to hold their value during economic cycles.
D. Investment strategies for special projects or special purpose fund portfolios will have
as their primary objective to assure that anticipated cash flows are matched with
adequate investment liquidity. These portfolios should include at least 10% in highly
liquid securities to allow for flexibility and unanticipated project outlays. The stated
final maturity dates of securities held should not exceed the estimated project
completion date.
INVESTMENT POLICY
2
I. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Coppell. These funds are
accounted for in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include:
* General Fund
* Special Revenue Funds
* Debt Service Funds
* Capital Projects Funds
* Proprietary Funds
* Trust and Agency Funds
* Component Units
II. OBJECTIVES
The City of Coppell shall manage and invest its cash with four objectives, listed in order of priority:
Safety, Liquidity, Yield, and Public Trust. The safety of the principal invested always remains the
primary objective. All investments shall be designed and managed in a manner responsive to the
public trust and consistent with State and Local law.
The City shall maintain a comprehensive cash management program that includes collection of
accounts receivable, vendor payment in accordance with invoice terms, and prudent investment of
available cash. Cash management is defined as the process of managing monies in order to insure
maximum cash availability and maximum yield on short-term investment of pooled idle cash.
Safety
The primary objective of the City's investment activity is the preservation of capital in the overall
portfolio. Each investment transaction shall be conducted in a manner to avoid capital losses,
whether they are from securities default or erosion of market value.
Liquidity
The City's investment portfolio shall be structured such that the City is able to meet all obligations in
a timely manner. This shall be achieved by matching investment maturities with forecasted cash
flow requirements and by investing in securities with active secondary markets.
3
Yield
The City's cash management portfolio shall be designed with the objective of regularly exceeding
the average rate of return on three-month U.S. Treasury Bills. The investment program shall seek to
augment returns above this threshold consistent with risk limitations identified herein and prudent
investment polices.
Public Trust
All participants in the City's investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the
public trust. Investment officials shall avoid any transaction that might impair public confidence in
the City's ability to govern effectively.
III. RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL
Investment Committee
An Investment Committee, consisting of the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, the Director of
Finance, and Assistant Director of Finance, shall meet at least quarterly to determine operational
strategies and to monitor results. The Investment Committee shall include in its deliberation such
topics as: performance reports, economic outlook, portfolio diversification, maturity structure,
potential risk to the City's funds, authorized brokers and dealers, and the target rate of return on the
investment portfolio.
Delegation of Authority and Training
Authority to manage the City's investment program is derived from a resolution of the City Council.
The Director of Finance, the Assistant Finance Director and the Chief Accountant are designated as
the investment officers of the City and are responsible for investment decisions and activities. The
Director of Finance shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program,
consistent with this investment policy. The investment officers shall attend at least one ten (10) hour
training session from an independent source approved by the governing body relating to the officer's
responsibility under the Act within 12 months after assuming duties.
Additionally, once every two years, ten (10) hours of instruction must be obtained from an
independent source. Sources of authorized independent training are those sponsored by:
• Government Finance Officers Association (G.F.O.A.)
• Government Finance Officers Association of Texas (G.F.O.A.T.)
• Government Treasurers Organization of Texas (G.T.O.T.)
• University of North Texas - Center for Public Management
• Texas Tech - Center for Professional Development
4
Internal Controls
The Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal
control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation costs and benefits require estimates and
judgements by management.
Accordingly, the Director of Finance shall establish a process for annual independent review by an
external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall
address the following points:
A. Control of collusion.
B. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping.
C. Custodial safekeeping.
D. Avoidance of physical delivery securities.
E. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members.
F. Written confirmation for telephone (voice) transactions for investments and wire
transfers.
G. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the depository bank or third party
custodian.
Prudence
The standard of prudence to be applied by the investment officer shall be the "prudent investor" rule,
which states: "Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of
their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their
capital as well as the probable income to be derived." In determining whether an investment officer
has exercised prudence with respect to an investment decision, the determination shall be made
taking into consideration:
A. The investment of all funds, or funds under the City's control, over which the officer
had responsibility rather than a consideration as to the prudence of a single
investment.
B. Whether the investment decision was consistent with the written investment policy
of the City.
The investment officer, acting in accordance with written procedures and exercising due diligence,
shall not be held personally responsible for a specific security's credit risk or market price changes,
providing that these deviations are reported immediately and that appropriate action is taken to
control adverse developments.
5
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
City staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could
conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair the ability to
make impartial investment decisions. City staff shall disclose to the City Manager any material
financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business with the City and they shall further
disclose positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio. City staff shall
subordinate their personal financial transactions to those of the City, particularly with regard to
timing of purchases and sales.
An investment officer of the City who has a personal business relationship with an organization
seeking to sell an investment to the City shall file a statement disclosing that personal business
interest. An investment officer who is related within the second degree by affinity or consanguinity
to an individual seeking to sell an investment to the City shall file a statement disclosing that
relationship. A statement required under this subsection must be filed with the Texas Ethics
Commission and the governing body of the entity.
IV. REPORTING
Quarterly Reporting
The Director of Finance shall submit a signed quarterly investment report that summarizes current
market conditions, economic developments and anticipated investment conditions. The report shall
summarize investment strategies employed in the most recent quarter, and describe the portfolio in
terms of investment securities, maturities, risk characteristics, and shall explain the total investment
return for the quarter.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to the City Manager and City Council.

accordingly.

GLOSSARY
of
COMMON TREASURY TERMINOLOGY
Agencies: Federal agency securities.
Ask: The price at which securities are
offered.
Bid: The price offered for securities.
Broker: A broker brings buyers and sellers

of the transaction or by both sides. In the
money market, brokers are active in markets,
in which banks buy and sell money, and in
interdealer markets.
Certificate of Deposit (CD): A time deposit
with a specific maturity evidenced by a
certificate. Large-denomination CD's are
typically negotiable.
Collateral: Securities, evidence of deposit or
other property that a borrower pledges to

deposits of public monies.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR): The official annual report for the
City of Coppell. It includes combined
statements and basic financial statements for
each individual fund and account group
prepared in conformity with GAAP. It also
includes supporting schedules necessary to
demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal and contractual provisions, extensive
introductory material, and a detailed
Statistical Section.
Coupon: The annual rate of interest that a
bond's issuer promises to pay the bondholder
on the bond's face value
Dealer: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts
as a principal in all transactions, buying and
selling for his own account.
Debenture: A bond secured only by the
general credit of the issuer.
Delivery versus Payment: There are two
methods of delivery of securities: delivery
versus payment and delivery versus receipt
Delivery versus payment is delivery of
securities with an exchange of money for the
securities. Delivery versus receipt is delivery
of securities with an exchange of a signed
receipt for the securities.
Discount Securities: Non-interest bearing
money market instruments that are issued at a
discount and redeemed at maturity for full
face value, such as U.S. Treasury bills.
Diversification: Dividing investment funds
among a variety of securities offering
independent returns.
Federal Credit Agencies: Agencies of the
Federal government set up to supply credit to
various classes of institutions and individuals,
such as Savings and Loans, small business
firms, students, farmers, farm cooperatives,
and exporters.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC): A federal agency that insures bank
deposits, currently up to $100,000 per deposit.
Federal Funds Rate: The rate of interest at
which Fed funds are traded. This rate is
currently set by the Federal Reserve through
open-market operations.
Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB): The
institutions that regulate and lend to savings
and loan associations. The Federal Home
Loan Banks play a role analogous to that
played by the Federal Reserve Banks vis-a-vis
member commercial banks.
12
Federal National Mortgage Association
(FNMA): FNMA, like GNMA, was
chartered under the Federal National
Mortgage Association Act in 1938. FNMA is
a federal corporation working under the
auspices of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, H.U.D. It is the largest
single provider of residential mortgage funds
in the United States. Fannie Mae, as the
corporation is called, is a private stockholder-
owned corporation. The corporation's
purchases include a variety of adjustable
mortgages and second loans in addition to
fixed-rate mortgages. FNMA's securities are
also highly liquid and are widely accepted.
FNMA assumes and guarantees that all
security holders will receive timely payment
of principal and interest.
Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC): Consists of seven members of the
Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve
Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The
President of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank is a permanent member while the other
Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The
Committee periodically meets to set Federal
Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and
sales of Government Securities in the open-
market as a means of influencing the volume
of bank credit and money.
Federal Reserve System: The central bank
of the United States created by Congress and
consisting of a seven member Board of
Governors in Washington, D.C., 12 regional
banks and commercial banks that are
members of the system.
Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae):
Securities guaranteed by GNMA and issued
by mortgage bankers, commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, and other
institutions. Security holder is protected by
full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
Ginnie Mae securities are backed by FHA,
VA or FMHM mortgages. The term pass-
throughs is often used to describe Ginnie
Maes.
Liquidity: A liquid asset is one that can be
converted easily and rapidly into cash without
a substantial loss of value. In the money
market, a security is said to be liquid if the
spread between bid and asked prices is narrow
and reasonable size can be done at those
quotes.
Market Value: The price at which a security
is trading and could presumably be purchased
or sold.
Master Repurchase Agreement: To protect
investors, many public investors will request
that repurchase agreements be preceded by a
master repurchase agreement between the
investor and the financial institution or dealer.
The master agreement should define the
nature of the transaction, identify the
relationship between the parties, establish
normal practices regarding ownership and
custody of the collateral securities during the
term of the investment, provide remedies in
the case of default by either party and clarify
issues of ownership. The master repurchase
agreement protects the investor by eliminating
the uncertainty of ownership and hence,
allowing investors to liquidate collateral if a
bank or dealer defaults during the term of the
agreement.
Maturity: The date upon which the principal
or stated value of an investment becomes due
and payable.
Money Market: The market in which short-
term debt instruments (bills, commercial
paper, bankers' acceptances) are issued and
traded.
Open Market Operations: Purchases and
sales of government and certain other
13
securities in the open market by the New
York Federal Reserve Bank as directed by the
FOMC in order to influence the volume of
money and credit in the economy. Purchases
inject reserves into the bank system and
stimulate growth of money and credit; sales
have the opposite effect. Open market
operations are the Federal Reserve's most
important and most flexible monetary policy
tool.
Portfolio: Collection of securities held by an
investor.
Primary Dealer: A group of government
securities dealers that submit daily reports of
market activity and positions and monthly
financial statements to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and are subject to its
informal oversight. Primary dealers include
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
registered securities broker-dealers banks and
a few unregulated firms.
Prudent Person Rule: An investment
standard. Investments shall be made with
judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence,
discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for
speculation, but for investment, considering
the probable safety of their capital as well as
the probable income to be derived.
Rate of Return: The yield obtainable on a
security based on its purchase price or its
current market price. This may be the
amortized yield to maturity on a bond or the
current income return.
Repurchase Agreement (RP of REPO): A
holder of securities sells these securities to an
investor with an agreement to repurchase
them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The
security "buyer" in effect lends the "seller"
money for the period of the agreement, and
their terms of the agreement are structured to
compensate him for this.

HISTORY: In March of 2004, a 22.5-acre lot was replatted into two lots, the western one
being 14.8 acres and the site of a future hospital (currently under construction
for Market Street, a bank and retail uses). The remaining 7.7-acre lot was
proposed to be replatted for medical/office uses. In October of 2004, the 7.7-
acre lot was rezoned to Planned Development-205 to allow approximately
ITEM # 4
Page 2 of 4
63,000 square feet of medical/office use in six buildings--two two-story and the
remaining one-story structures. The property was also replatted into eight sites,
six for the buildings described above, and two into open space and
landscaped lots. In July 2005 Council approved an amendment to the
Planned Development revising the Detail Site Plan to allow a decrease in the
number of buildings from six to five, increase the size of the project from 62,600
square feet to 74,200 square feet, reduce parking, modify usage and revise
the elevations. The current request is Lot 6 of this PD.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare (120 feet of right-
of-way). State Highway 121 is built to freeway standards, within a 450-foot
right-of-way. Plaza Drive is a 28-foot wide street in 50 feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
South – SH. 121 and Middle School North (SF-7)
North- Two Story Office Building (PD-205-HC)
East – Undeveloped land in the City of Lewisville (Zoned LI)
West- Undeveloped (PD-205-HC)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for regional retail
uses.
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this request is to amend the PD to attach a detail plan for
the development of a 13,450-square-foot retail/restaurant building, where
the original PD called for a two-story office. This change in land use allows
the continuation of the retail uses proposed to the west, in Coppell, and
to the east, in the City of Lewisville. Green Street Properties will also be
developing the abutting property in Lewisville and intend to provide a
seamless transition in terms of uses and architectural style. The
architecture of this building will also compliment the Market Street
Development (Coppell Crossroads) abutting this property to the west. This
proposed development addresses the purpose and intent of the Highway
Commercial District which in part states:
“The "HC" highway commercial district is intended primarily as a
high intensity area permitting a mixed use for office, commercial-
retail, and highway oriented uses, such as hotels, restaurants, and
low and mid-rise offices…The site characteristics should be
designed in a manner to create an attractive appearance ….and
an impressive gateway into the community”.
The building is proposed to be occupied with 75% retail uses and 25%
restaurants. It has been designed so that all facades are fronts, with
parking along three sides and the loading area northwest of the building.
The parking has been designed to take advantage of the provision of the
Zoning Ordinance which allows the reduction in length of parking spaces
ITEM # 4
Page 3 of 4
by 1.5 feet, which is compensated with additional perimeter landscape
area.
LANDSCAPING
When the original PD was established, landscape requirements for
individual lots were reduced to support well landscaped entry features
and streetscapes (common areas) along Plaza Drive, including a
roundabout feature which acts as both a circulation element and a focal
point for the overall development. This reduced amount of landscaping
has been incorporated within this site plan. However, new landscaping
along the street frontages combined with the existing landscaping at the
intersection of SH 121 and Plaza Drive will provide an aesthetically
pleasing entry into the City of Coppell. There are several minor
calculation errors which will need to be addressed in the resubmittal.
ACCESS
Access to this property will be via Plaza Drive from S.H. 121 abutting to the
south as well as from the north from Highland Drive. As the property to the
west develops, mutual access easements have been planned to allow
access from Denton Tap, through the Market Street (Coppell Crossroads)
to this property. It is anticipated that the mutual access easement along
the north side of the building will connect to the fire lane/driveway system
in the first phase of the Coppell Crossroads development. The access
parallel to SH 121 will be provided as the intervening lots develop.
ELEVATIONS/SIGNAGE
As mentioned, the same owner and architect will be developing the
property to the east in Lewisville for similar uses with consistent
architectural design. The building design incorporates several building
materials (two colors of brick and two colors of stone), various façade
designs, fabric awnings and metal canopies to provide architectural
interest to the building. Although a color of the attached signs has not
been chosen, a note on the elevations states that the signs will be
“consistent in color and will comply with all other regulations of the Sign
Ordinance” (i.e. 20% logo).
Finally, the applicant is requesting a multi-tenant monument sign along
the SH 121 frontage. While there is a Plaza entry feature sign at the
corner Plaza and SH 121, a monument sign advertizing the tenants of this
center is appropriate. However, the size of this sign needs to be reduced
from 80 square feet to 60 square feet to be compliant with the Sign
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-205R2-HC, Vista Ridge Addition,
Lot 6, Block D (The Plaza), subject to the following conditions:
1. This property shall be replatted to establish, realign and abandon
various easements in support of this development.
2. Reduction in the size of the monument sign from 80 to 60 square feet.
ITEM # 4

3. Redrafting of the PD conditions on the Site Plan to correctly indicate

4. Revisions to the Landscape calculations to correctly indicate “credit”

all landscape islands are compliant with the regulations of the
Landscape Ordinance.

1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request

HISTORY: Phase One of Wagon Wheel Park was constructed in 1999. It consisted of
two baseball fields, two soccer fields and a parking lot. Since that time,
three soccer fields (currently six smaller fields) with spectator shelters,
multiple soccer practice fields, four baseball fields, a batting cage, a
concession stand/restroom facility, a tennis center (eight courts with a
club house), various parking areas, and miscellaneous maintenance
facilities have been built.
TRANSPORTATION: Freeport Parkway is currently designated on the Thoroughfare Plan as a
four-lane divided thoroughfare, and is partially built to standard within a
variable width right-of-way.

North – Wagon Wheel Park Irrigation Pond; LI (Light Industrial)
South – Wagon Wheel Park Baseball Fields; LI (Light Industrial)
East – Alford Media Office, Residential; LI (Light Industrial)
West – Wagon Wheel Park Baseball Field #6; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows this property as suitable
for park/open space.
DISCUSSION: This request is for a 4,000-square-foot maintenance and storage facility to
be located on the north end of Wagon Wheel Park, adjacent to the
irrigation pond. Five different storage areas (each approximately 200
square feet) are proposed to be used by various sports organizations for
storage of their respective equipment. Approximately 1,400 square feet
located on the northeast side is proposed for open air storage for fertilizer
and other field maintenance materials and approximately 1,400 square
feet on the west side is proposed for a maintenance bay with a restroom
for the Parks Department’s maintenance crew.
The south building elevation facing the proposed drive depicts a stone
building with five small overhead doors and one large overhead door. The
structure will match the surrounding structures in the area with a stone
veneer and standing seam roof. Additional Eastern Red Cedars spaced
every 20’ will be added on the south side of the existing drive to screen
the facility from the baseball fields. Also, a wind screen will be added
along the park fencing to obstruct the view from the fields and
concession area. There is only one minor drafting issue remaining;
therefore, staff is recommending approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following
