HISTORY OF THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR Location and Economy The City of Port Arthur (City), incorporated May 30, 1898, is located in Southeastern Texas, on the Gulf Coast. Bordered by Lake Sabine, an inland bay, the City has access to the Gulf of Mexico through Sabine Pass. Port Arthur is spread over 100+ square miles and has a population of 54,548. Southeast Texas is one
of the principal oil refining and petro-chemical manufacturing areas in the world and the City's economy is tightly tied to these industries. The Spindletop gusher blew in on January 10, 1901 at Gladys City, near Beaumont and just north of Port Arthur. This event, coupled with our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico,
drove the development of oil refining in Port Arthur. For more than 100 years, the country's major oil and chemical refining companies have maintained major facilities here. The local facilities, including TOTAL Petrochemicals, BASF, Motiva, Valero, Chevron-Phillips, Praxair and Golden Pass LNG, located in the
City’s ETJ, currently represent nearly $7 billion in property value. These industries have provided a steady employment base, and in recent years, significant infusions of capital have dramatically increased economic activity in Port Arthur. The City’s national significance is evidenced by these investments in energy in the immediate area, which contribute to the following facts. It is the home of the No. 1 bulk liquid cargo waterway in the nation and is the nation’s 3rd largest waterway. Refining production amounts to a minimum of 13% of American’s daily fuel consumption. Fifty-five percent (55%) of the nation’s strategic petroleum reserves are located here. Current annual economic benefits of the waterway include more than $10 billion and more than 100,000 jobs (Source: Sabine Neches Navigation District). Government Structure
The City has all the powers granted to a home rule city by Texas law including: the power to levy tax on real and personal property within its boundaries, the right to extend its boundaries by annexation, and the
power to block annexation or incorporation in areas considered within its extra-territorial jurisdiction. The City has operated under the Council-Manager form of government since March 8, 1932. Policy making and legislative authority rests with the City Council, which consists of a mayor and six councilmembers, one from each district and two at-large councilmembers. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring the City's manager, attorney, and secretary. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day to day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the City's departments. The City provides a full range of municipal services including police and fire protection, solid waste removal and disposal, water and sanitary sewer, the construction of streets, drainage and other infrastructure, recreational activities, library and other cultural activities. Component units are legally separate entities for which the City is financially accountable. The budget of the Port Arthur Economic
Development Corporation has been included with that of the City. This organization, although legally separate, is in substance, part of the City's operations.

BUDGET POLICY
The annual budget is a financial plan for a fiscal year of operation that matches all planned revenues and
expenditures with the services provided by the City. The budget year shall begin the first day of October and
end the last day of September of the following calendar year.
Revenues: For every annual budget, the City shall levy a single property tax rate that is apportioned between
operation/maintenance and debt service. The debt service apportionment shall be sufficient for meeting all
principal and interest payments associated with the City’s outstanding general obligation debt for that budget
year. The City shall establish user charges and fees at a level that attempts to recover the full cost of providing
the service. Revenues shall be projected from every source based on actual collections from the preceding two
years and estimated collections of the current fiscal year, while taking into account known circumstances which
will impact revenues for the new fiscal year.
Expenditures: The annual budget shall appropriate sufficient funds for operating, recurring expenditures
necessary to maintain established quality and scope of City services. The City will constantly examine the
methods for providing public services in order to reduce the operating, recurring expenditures and/or enhance
quality and scope of public services with no increase to cost.
Cash Balance: The annual budget shall be presented to City Council with an ending cash balance that reflects
a prudent reserve and in accordance with the City’s financial policies.
Budget Appropriations/Amendments: All expenditures of the City shall be made in accordance with the
adopted annual budget. Appropriations are made at the fund level. However, budgetary control is maintained
at the department level by the electronic review of all requisitions of estimated purchase amounts prior to the
release of purchase orders to vendors. Any additions to a fund or new fund appropriations that exceed via
ordinance fund shall be accomplished through budget amendments approved by the City Council. At the close
of each fiscal year any encumbered balance of an appropriation shall revert to the fund from which appropriated
and become available for re-appropriation for the next fiscal year (Port Arthur City Charter, Article XII, Section
8).
Budget Basis: The budget basis that the City has adopted by past practice is the modified accrual basis for all
Governmental fund types. The accrual basis has been adopted for the proprietary fund types, with some
modifications; principally the inclusion of debt principal payments and capital outlay as expenses and not
making a provision for depreciation expense. Under accrual accounting, transactions and events are recognized
as revenues/gains or expenses/losses when they occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. On the
other hand, under the modified accrual basis, not only must the underlying revenue transaction have occurred
but also the related cash flow must take place within a short-enough period to have an effect of current spendable
resources. Therefore, revenues must be both measurable and available to liquidate liabilities of the current
period. Likewise, expenditures generally are recognized when an event or transaction is expected to draw upon
current spendable resources. Appropriations in the Capital funds are adopted on a project basis across multiple
fiscal years rather than on a single fiscal year basis and are carried forward until the projects are complete.
221
Budgeted Funds: The City’s budgeted funds can be divided into two types: governmental and proprietary
funds. The charts below show the fund/department relationship for all budgeted funds. Fund descriptions are
included in each fund’s specific section.

Budget Process
There are 4 major steps in the annual budget process.
1. Department Requests: The budget process shall begin approximately six months prior to the start of
the fiscal year with the distribution of budget worksheets and payroll data to each department. Budget
worksheets are prepared by the Finance Department using the City’s accounting/budgeting software to
assist the departments in the budgeting process. These are detailed worksheets run at the division level
and include two previous year’s actual expenditures, the current year amended budget and current year
to date actual expenditures. There are blank columns for the current year estimate and the department
request (base budget) numbers to be filled in by the department. Detailed instructions are given to each
department on the input of these fields into the city’s software. The base budget column supports
existing service levels including identified increases in the cost of maintaining the current service
levels. Any new program requests which include expanded service levels and new services shall be
submitted separately on a new program request form. Payroll data for each employee is also distributed
for review and update. Each department shall complete the data entry of their current year estimate and
department requests for the upcoming year (base budget) and return all forms and payroll data to the
Finance department. Departments that generate revenue for the City shall input expected revenues for
the present and upcoming year into similar fields in the City’s budgeting software. The Finance
Department staff shall update the payroll information in the City’s budgeting software then review and
compile reports for Budget Hearings with each department.
2. Budget Hearings: The City Manager shall conduct Budget Hearings with each department and shall
make changes/additions/cuts for each department and decide which decision packages to include in the
proposed budget to City Council. The Finance Department staff shall update budgeting records
accordingly and prepare the budget document for submission to City Council.
3. Proposed Budget Submission: The City Manager’s proposed budget shall be submitted to the City
Council members and to the City Secretary and made available to the public at least 30 days prior to
fiscal year-end (September 30). The proposed expenditures for administration, operation, maintenance
and capital out of each department of the City shall be itemized by character and object. Expenditures
shall be presented in a format that illustrates the actual amounts for each item for the last two fiscal
years, the current year amended budget, the estimated amount for the current fiscal year and the
proposed amount for the ensuing budget year. Revenues for each fund are presented in a similar fashion
along with the fund balance or net position of each fund.
4. Budget Workshops, Public Hearings and Budget Adoption: Budget workshops shall be conducted
with City Council on an as needed basis. Normally at least two workshops are scheduled. City Council
shall schedule public hearings on the tax rate and the budget in accordance with the Texas Local
Government Code. After such workshops and hearings, City Council may request changes to the City
Manager’s proposed budget. On or before the last day of the fiscal year, the budget, the tax rate and the
tax roll shall be adopted by the favorable votes of at least a majority of all members of City Council.
The annual budget document shall be published in an understandable and useful format within
approximately 60 days following the date of the budget’s adoption by City Council.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POLICIES
The following are the Financial Policies of the City Council of the City of Port Arthur, Texas. These policies will remain in force until amended or deleted by City Council. City Staff will incorporate these policies into future planning, budgets and financial operations.
I. Policies will be in writing
The Financial Policies of the City of Port Arthur will be in writing and will be formally adopted each year by the City Council as part of the Annual Budget. II. Planning
We will prepare a Multi-Year Financial Plan which integrates our capital needs with our operating needs. This plan will be based on adopted financial policies, showing balances and other measures of fiscal strength and stability.
The City Council will be presented financial plans as follows: Capital Improvement Plan, detailing the City’s future Capital Improvement needs and the sources of funding to meet those needs. Multi-Year Financial Plan which will provide details of anticipated revenue and expenditures for the next five fiscal years. The five-year Financial Plan will include the City’s General Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Fund and any other major operating Funds.
III. Balanced Budgets
The Annual Operating Budgets of the City of Port Arthur will be balanced. We will make each year’s operating expenditures match each year’s operating revenues without including fund reserves as a
funding source. The Annual Operating Budgets will incorporate one-time revenue sources and excess fund balances only for non-recurring expenditures in subsequent fiscal years. IV. Fund Balance and Reserves
The City shall maintain adequate operating balances and reserves against extraordinary events. City Council will insure that operating fund balances are adequate to handle a reasonable drop in current revenues or rise in current expenditures. The target for fund balance, expressed in equivalent days of operations will be a minimum of sixty (60) days (except the solid waste fund shall be a minimum of forty-five (45) days).
In addition, we will insure that there will be an adequate reserve for extraordinary events by reserving $1.5 million of the General Fund Balance. V. Capital and Infrastructure Replacement
The City will replace existing capital equipment that is worn out, broken or costly to maintain in a timely
manner.
225
The assets (infrastructure) of the City of Port Arthur represent a vital investment made by our citizens. We will preserve that investment by repairing, maintaining and safeguarding these assets for future generations.
VI. Debt Issuance
The issuance of debt (bonds, certificates and long-term leases) is costly and time-consuming. Because of this, the issuance of debt should be scheduled no more often than once a year if possible.
The maturity period for debt will be less than or equal to the life of the asset being financed.
Our annual payments for debt service will maintain a reasonable relationship to total expenditures and assessed valuations. We will carefully analyze the ratio of operating expenditures to debt service; ratio of assessed valuation to net long-term debt; and per capita debt prior to approving new debt.
VII. New Programs and Facilities
New programs will be implemented only when we know the full annual costs, have justified the need, identified funding, and have prioritized the proposed new program along with all other governmental services. Before we vote or approve facilities (fire stations, libraries, etc.) we will know the full annual costs of staffing, equipping, operating and insuring the facilities.
VIII. Mandated Services
We will review and preview state and federal legislation that has an impact on our services (environmental, etc.) and the resulting costs to our citizens. We will try to identify these future costs
and realize they have to be included as a part of our local service requirements. IX. Program Operations
We will monitor those programs which are serving fewer citizens or costing more due to inefficiency or lack of economies of scale, or are being duplicated. To the extent possible, the budget resources will be reduced or eliminated and redirected to other areas of greater need. This shift will be accomplished in an orderly manner, fully communicated to those affected.
The City will provide quality services. Those programs which are justified and serve the needs of the community will be funded adequately to insure quality service. A program will be discontinued if funding is not adequate to provide a quality service. X. Utility Operations
Our utility rates should be adequate to cover the cost of operating the utility including the capital
requirements, however, all utilities will be accessible to all of our citizens. Our utility cost subsidies (between funds, between utilities, between customers and between generations)
should be minimized. To the extent feasible, the General Fund will be adequately compensated by the Enterprise Funds to
cover services such as management, accounting, purchasing and facilities. This charge should be supported by a cost allocation rationale.
226
Finally, to the extent possible, the General Fund may be compensated by the Enterprise Funds to match those revenues that would be received from a private utility, such as property and franchise taxes. XI. Property Tax Rates
The City of Port Arthur will strive to maintain a property tax rate that is competitive with rates established by nearby communities, communities of similar size and communities with similar economic and social circumstances. XII. Grants
The City of Port Arthur shall seek, apply for, obtain and effectively administer federal, state and foundation grants-in-aid that address the City’s current and future priorities and policy objectives. All grant submittals will be reviewed for their cash or in-kind match requirements, their potential impact on the operating budget, and the extent which they meet the City’s policy objectives. If there are cash match requirements, the source of funding will be identified and approved prior to applications.
The City shall terminate grant-funded programs and associated positions as directed by the City Council when grant funds are no longer available, unless alternative funding can be secured.
XIII. Fiscal Monitoring
Reports shall be prepared on a regular basis that analyze, evaluate and forecast the City financial performance and economic condition for the current year. Monthly reports will be prepared comparing expenditures and revenues to current budget, for the month and fiscal year-to-date, projecting
expenditures and revenues through the end of the year, and outlining any remedial actions necessary to maintain the City’s financial position. XIV. Investments
The City’s cash shall be invested in accordance with a separate written policy which is reviewed and
updated annually by City Council. All investments shall be made in such a manner to ensure the safety of principal, to meet the liquidity needs of the City, comply with state and local laws, and to achieve the highest possible yield consistent with the first three objectives. Interest earned from investments shall be distributed to the operating, internal service and other City funds from which the money was provided. Investments shall be made with judgment and care - - under the 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.
