Social Work Intern at Emily Fowler Central Library_ — Denton Public Library and United Way of Denton County have begun a pilot program to provide an embedded Master's degree level social work intern at the Emily Fowler Central Library 3.5 hours per week. The program aims to provide free referral services, assistance with benefit or service registration and forms, and guidance for community members as they navigate governmental or non-profit services. Libraries are safe spaces where individuals can come to learn, connect, and discover. Some library patrons face challenges requiring assistance and expertise beyond regular library services. This pilot program aims to provide support to patrons needing guidance and assistance to connect with social services, community organizations, governmental assistance, and local non-profits. Community members would then be able to work with those entities to receive the aid they need. 3 The selected graduate level social work intern is guided and supervised by United Way Denton County as part of their intern program. The services provided at the library are part of the intern's two-year social work practicum experience. The intern provides referral and registration assistance. No case management or mental health services are provided to individuals as part of the library program. The intern is available for walk-up assistance or patrons can sign up ahead of time to meet with the intern during scheduled hours. The service had a soft opening in late September with an immediate success. The social worker intern was able to assist a patron who was struggling to find support for their spouse, who was newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, and themselves. After meeting with the social work intern, the patron was advised about local support agencies, what services were available that could assist with their situation, and how to request services from those agencies. The patron expressed relief and appreciation to library staff that they were able to find the help they needed after weeks of struggle and worry. The attached flier provides details of the program.

Greenbelt 380 Access Reopened — After being closed since 2015 due to significant flooding along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River,the southern portion of the Greenbelt Trail reopened Wednesday October 27, 2021. Periodic floods caused damage to large sections of the multi-use trail,the equestrian trail and the parking area at the Highway 380 access point over the years. In addition, log jams closed off approximately 2.5 miles of paddling trail along the river channel. About four miles of multi-use trail has been cleared to allow for hiking, biking, and equestrian access.

Given that a considerable amount of time has passed since the SRTS grant application was approved in 2012, Nette Shultz Elementary has since been renovated and the entrance to the school is no longer aligned with Brookfield Lane. City staff have coordinated with Matt Preston, the principal of Nette Shultz Elementary to identify alternative sidewalk segments to replace Brookfield that meet SRTS requirements and provide enhanced connectivity to the school.

D. Tree Code Work Session Follow Up—To follow up on questions asked as part of the October 12, 2021 tree code work session, staff has compiled the following data as requested: Council members asked for information regarding the total number of developments that are under review and a comparison of how many are utilizing the 2019 Denton Development Code (DDC) versus the 2002 DDC. There are a total of 90 unique developments with projects under review at this time, and in accordance with the applicable code as summarized below: • 70 of those projects are being reviewed under the 2019 DDC; • 10 are vested and are being reviewed under the 2002 DDC; and • For the remaining 10 projects, the City's tree preservation ordinances do not apply either because the site being developed is located in the ETJ or because the development is vested under a code that predates the 2004 and 2019 tree preservation ordinances. Additional questions were asked related to how much of the City's land area is zoned for single-family and/or duplex development, and how much of that land area is currently undeveloped. The following table provides estimated summaries of this information generated using the City's GIS systems and the most current aerial imagery to determine the status of land development: Combined Combined Undeveloped Zoning Undeveloped &Agricultural Zoning (Percentage or Agricultural Use Area of City Land Use Area (Percentage of (Acres) Area) (Acres) Zoning Area) Single Family Only Permitted (No Duplex): RR, R1,R2,R3 18,618.46 29.64% 10,077.66 54.13% Single Family&Duplex Permitted:R4, R6, R7, MN 7,596.90 12.09% 3,323.63 43.75% Duplex Only Permitted(No Single-Family):MD,MR 1,395.31 2.22% 318.81 22.85% 21.84%of City Total 27,610.67 44% 13720.10 Land Area Total City Land Area(Acres) 62,811.15 Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development Services E.

Staff will continue to monitor the situation as needed. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Project/Engineering H. Dallas Drive (US 77) and Rio Grande Blvd. Concerns — On October 28, Council Member Byrd submitted a request to address safety concerns at Dallas Drive and Rio Grande Boulevard intersection. Dallas Drive (US 77) is a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadway, and the subject intersection is located approximately 900 feet from the Calloway's driveway to the east. In April 2021, TxDOT installed cones and delineators at the intersection of Dallas Drive, the I-35E northbound offramp and the frontage road (near Calloway's) to prevent northbound frontage road motorists from crossing Dallas Drive. The intent of the cones and delineators is to improve the safety of the intersection and reduce collisions caused by vehicles traveling at fast speeds on the I-35E offramp not anticipating through traffic across Dallas Drive. TxDOT made this improvement at the request of the Denton Police Department following several accidents at the intersection. TxDOT plans to replace the Dallas Drive left lane I-35E onramp with underpass access to the I-35E southbound frontage road as part of the future I-35E widening project. City staff will evaluate the intersection for safety and contact the requestor as soon as possible to address the issues with temporary solutions. Capital Projects/Engineering staff have notified the Denton Police Department of speeding concerns reported on Dallas Drive. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering I. Old North Road and Chebi Lane Construction Concerns— On October 28, Council Member Beck contacted the Capital Projects/Engineering Department for an update regarding a resident's concerns about street construction on Chebi Lane being installed as a part of the Mistywood Lane,Chebi Lane,Freedom Lane,and Craig Lane(MCFC) segments of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Bond Program. The resident was concerned that the new curb line was not constructed to the correct grade, causing water to collect in front of their driveway, and that the rough edge of the concrete would be part of the finished product. Kyle Pedigo, Project Manager for the MCFC Project spoke with the resident on October 25 and followed up with them via email on October 28. Mr. Pedigo is currently in the process of resolving the issue with the contractor and Public Works Inspector. The contractor has already cut the rough edge of the concrete and will remove it before the final layer of asphalt is installed. The contractor is also surveying the grades of the curb in that area to ensure the issue of standing water is resolved. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital Projects/Engineering 9 J. County Redistricting Timeline — On October 28, Council Member Davis inquired as to if the County has published its timeline for its redistricting process, specifically when new voter precinct lines and new county commissioner lines would be approved. Today, Judge Eads issued an email newsletter that included the stated goal to complete the redistricting process in time for the first day for candidates to file for a place on the 2022 general primary election ballot on November 13, 2021. This is further supported by the timeline listed on Denton County's redistricting webpage. The timeline notes that final adoption of redistricting maps will take place on November 9, 2021.

This portion of the Greenbelt Unit has been closed since 2015 due to significant flooding along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River.These periodic floods, caused by several large log jams in the river channel, have caused damage to large sections of the multi-use trail,the equestrian trail and the parking area at the Highway 380 access point over the years. In addition,the log jams have closed off approximately 2.5 miles of paddling trail along the river channel. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has made several attempts to repair the trails and the Highway 380 access to their original condition over the years. Each of these attempts were disrupted by subsequent flooding events causing the area to remain closed. "In the future,TPWD plans to perform the basic clean up necessary after each flooding event in order to reopen the Highway 380 access as soon as possible, providing a primitive trail experience for hikers, bicyclists, and equestrian riders along the multi-use trail," said Merritt. Park staff are currently working with our partners with the U.S.Army Corp of Engineers, the Greenbelt Alliance, and the City of Denton to develop a more long-term solution to the flooding issue at the park. 24 �.. fit Denia Neighborhood Meeting Thank you • • begin momentarily.

ICE MA NORTH ;. • D TEXAS •'• COMMISSION ' October 18, 2021 Ms. Sara Hensley City of Denton 215 East McKinney Street Denton, Texas 76201 Dear Sara, Thank you for your continued investment in the North Texas Commission. With your support and engagement, the NTC will continue to successfully collaborate with stakeholders to address our region's greatest opportunities and challenges including North Texas'economic recovery from the pandemic as well as winter storm. Your investment enables the NTC to convene business, local government, and education leaders to pursue legislative action to maintain a business/civic-friendly climate. Your NTC Team is now hard at work in Austin during a challenging 87th Special Sessions. During the regular session, our experienced policy team, and the four regional coalitions that we manage, tracked 192 bills, and were engaged in testifying and influencing legislation. We continue to work hard to sustain public education/career readiness funding, ensure fr om for our local governments, expand health care, create jobs through long term infrastructure prof-ect§, as well as maintain economic development tools. Please see the attached summary of our top regional issues and how we faired during the regular session as well as our accountability index which is a record of final votes on how our region's 41 House members and 9 Senators voted on our top priorities. We are now gearing up for a possible fourth special session. In addition to focusing on important state initiatives, we are also taking the lead on advocating our region's priorities for the 117th Congress— including industry-specific issues, trade, taxation, infrastructure, immigration reform, health care, regulatory oversight, and water. We welcome the opportunity to engage with you and advocate for your specific needs. Throughout this year, we will continue to bring you quality programs that address key issues for the North Texas region including our To The Point events, diversity, equity &inclusion initiatives, Leadership North Texas, Emerging Leaders of North Texas, the NTX Magazine, and Topic: North Texas podcasts. As you know, North Texas is unique, and it takes the commitment of the region's major stakeholders to keep NTX economically competitive. That's where the North Texas Commission fits in. As the only regional, public- private association, collaboration is at the core of all that we do. The NTC has a 50-year history of proving what our region can accomplish by working together as a 13-county area. Thank you for helping us continue this success—and with more to come! In Appreciation for Your Partnership, u �' Chris E.

HB 1525, which corrects specific provisions in HB 3 and is expected to be signed by the Governor, • Public schools are also receiving support through the extension of the hold-harmless funding and provision of three rounds of federal stimulus dollars totaling over $19 billion. The federal stimulus dollars were used to supplant budget shortfalls early in the pandemic, cover costs associated with CO VID-7 9, and hold schools harmless for pandemic-related enrollment declines. Maintain higher education formula funding from the 86th Session, including restoring 5% mid-biennium cuts to higher education institutions. • SB 1 maintains formula funding. However, higher education institutions had to absorb the previous 50/0 budget cuts. While Federal relief funding for colleges and universities helps with some unanticipated COVID costs, there is still plenty of work remaining to advance higher education in the 881h legislative session. • HB 1530 would have authorized public colleges and universities to issue revenue bands to fund capital projects. The bill passed the House but did not get a hearing in the Senate. • HB 3767(SB 1622)establishes a Tri-Agency Workforce initiative that will help align industry needs with education efforts by enhancing the coordination of the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Workforce Commission, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The Governor will sign. Maintain funding for the Skills Development Fund grants to improve workforce training, including 60X30TX, the Texas Reskilling & Upskilling Through Education (TRUE) initiative, and continuing investment in SBDCs for small businesses. • SB 1102(HB 3003),the TRUE initiative, will provide a grant program for community colleges to offer accelerated learning opportunities, which will result in an increased, more productive workforce supply prepared to meet industry demands. The Governor is expected to sign. Maintain all economic development tools available, reauthorizing Chapter 313 to enable Texas the ability to competefor major capital-intensive projects,fund the Texas Enterprise Fund, Event Trust Fund,Texas Tourism, the Texas Music Office,and the Texas Film Commission at levels that keeps Texas competitive with other states. • Chapter 313 will end in December 2022. it would have been extended in its current for two years with HB 4242, which passed the House but was not passed in the Senate.The reform bill, HS 1556, which attempted to improve the existing process, died in the House due to a lack of support. Although defunded in the House during the budget process, funding was restored for the Texas Enterprise fund, the Moving Image industry Incentive Program,and other economic development programs. Support the reduction of the number of uninsured Texans by securing available federal and state funds to reform and renew opportunities to broaden the net of coverage for the uninsured. • Unfortunately, SS 1171HB 3871, the "Live Well Texas"bills died. Despite a bipartisan effort in the House, HB 3871 was not given a hearing in the House Human Services committee.SB 1 Amendment 54 allowed for debate of the benefits of Medicaid expansion during, but ultimately failed on the House floor. • HS 133 (SB 121)will extend Medicaid coverage from 2-months to 6-months for Medicaid-eligible women after giving birth. it is expected to be signed by the Governor. Keep Texas open for business by ensuring all persons are welcome regardless of race, religion, or gender expression, including supporting comprehensive non-discrimination policies. • HB 3860,which would provide comprehensive support for non-discrimination of LG8TQ individuals, did not move forward as it did not receive a hearing in the House State Affairs Committee. • SS 29 would have negatively affected transgender children and adolescents who want to participate in UIL sports as well as Texas'ability to recruit top talent. SB 29 passed the Senate and was voted favorably from the House Public Education Committee, but died on the House floor. A similar bill (HB 4042) was left pending in committee. • The Critical Race Theory bill, HB 3979, originally failed in the House on a point of order and returned to the Senate for further consideration. The bill was then passed through the Senate and sent to the Governor without a House conference. The Governor has signed. The bill will likely face a legal challenge. 47 Support innovative financing tools that would leverage state funds to create jobs and expedite delivery of needed transportation and infrastructure projects as well as maintenance. • HB 2905 regarding the use of-related projects was left pending in the House Natural Resources Committee.HB 3159 and HB 3160 (regarding the use of comprehensive development agreements) were left pending in the House Transportation Committee.HB 4420,which would have required TxDOT and the TWD3 to partner with the Comptroller to study the feasibility of alternative project delivery methods to increase funding to the state, passed the House but died in the Senate. • HB 2219, which revitalizes a dormant mobility fund, passed and is expected to be signed by the Governor. Oppose any attempt to limit or prohibit the authority of city,county, and/or school district officials to use public funds tocommunicate with legislators and state agencies, as well as to pay membership dues to organizations that hire lobbyists. • Anti-local control bills, SS 10 and HS 749 both died.Although ultimately unsuccessful, SB 10 passed the Senate and the House State Affairs Committee. The House committee substituted language was intended to enhance the transparency of political subdivisions'use of a contract lobbyist rather than impose an outright ban on the practice. Chairman Paddie held firm to his commitment to take down his committee substitute when it was no longer moving forward as a clean bill due to damaging amendments. Continue the exercise of equitable eminent domain to allow for the construction of roads, pipelines, power transmission lines, rail, and water infrastructure. • Neither HB 3312 nor HB 3623 (which would have negatively impacted the high-speed rail project) were successful as they were left pending in committee.HB 2730 (eminent domain reform) passed. Developing plans and resources needed for greater broadband connectivity to enhanced access to public education, health care, employment, news, and information. • HB 5 is the omnibus broadband bill that will establish a Broadband Development Office (inside the Office of the Comptroller) to create a Statewide Broadband Plan. The Governor has signed. Additional RCC Priority Bills that impact the business climate and economic viability of the North Texas region: • Support of the Pandemic Liability Act was successful. SB 6 (HB 3659) will protect businesses that have operated in good faith during the pandemic.The Governor has signed. • Supported by the RCC,HS 1195(SB 372) exempts PPP from the state franchise-tax. The Governor signed. • Our opposition to SB 219(HB 1418) was ultimately unsuccessful. Texas will now have more limits on private property owners when it comes to contract negotiations for construction. A Governor veto has been requested. • Our opposition to SS 19 (HB 2558)was unsuccessful. This bill will prohibit state contracts with companies that discriminate against firearms or ammunition manufacturers. • HB 4072 (which would have required local sales taxes to be collected/reported based on where an item is "shipped to"rather than from where the order is produced/sold) died in the House Calendars Committee. • SB 3 passed and will provide reforms and oversight of Texas' power grid. The Governor has signed.

Date: October 29, 2021 Report No. 2021-092 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: 2020 Net Revenue Report on Economic Development Incentives BACKGROUND: In 2009, the Department of Economic Development created the initial "Return on Investment Report"to examine the fiscal impact to the City made by the businesses that have received property and sales tax incentives,evaluate the efficiency of the public investment,and to guide future policy decisions. The following changes have been made to the report over the years: • 2010: State of Texas and Denton County Transportation Authority sales tax revenue was added. • 2013: The report was expanded to include the ad valorem revenue for Denton County, which includes both the incentives in which the County has partnered with the City,as well as the revenue from the incentives that the County did not invest in. • 2015: Inclusion of Denton Independent School District(DISD) information. • 2016: The report was redesigned and can be distributed as one-page City summary or complete report. • 2020: The report was redesigned and condensed. The attached 2020 Net Revenue Report is the eighth update of the report,which provides an overall look at what the City of Denton received in the way of direct benefits (property and sales tax revenues) as well as the indirect benefit of new jobs created or existing jobs retained by those companies and developments that received incentives. The report covers a tax year schedule, so there is a time delay of when the report is released. The property tax valuation is based on the values that are released by the Denton Central Appraisal District(DCAD) for the previous tax year. The certified valuations,released at the end of July, are compiled from the DCAD website and sent out on a City of Denton Verification Form to the appraisal district! The tax bills are distributed from Denton County in October. The calculations for the contested properties are prepared upon receipt of the Verification Form from the appraisal district, which occurs sometime after October until the delinquency deadline in the early part of the following year, if the property valuation is contested. DCAD also contracts out some of their accounts to Wardlaw, which may also delay the valuation data for incentives. The remaining incentive rebates are calculated, checked and processed in the Spring. The report provides information through 2020 and includes the following: • Property valuation (cumulative since year agreement approved, excluding base year) • Property tax generated(cumulative since year agreement approved, excluding base year) • Sales tax generated—if applicable (cumulative from initiation of sales tax monitoring) 'The City of Denton Verification Form also includes a request for the breakdown of the Business Personal Property (BPP)that is not available on the website and a section that notifies the City if the property is being contested. The incentive calculations occur for the uncontested properties following the receipt of the forms from DCAD.The City notifies DCAD if the threshold has been met by companies for all of the tax abatements. 53 Date: October 29, 2021 Report No. 2021-092 • Net property and sales tax revenues (total revenues less incentives) • Cost/benefit Percentage (net revenue divided by the incentive and multiplied by 100) • Ratio of Return(net revenue less incentive, then divided by the incentive) • New jobs created by project Standard economic development practice for impact analysis is 10 years, so the incentives in the report are tracked for 10 years regardless of the term. For example, an incentive with a term of seven years is tracked for an additional three years until the 10-year period is reached.An incentive is not deducted for the remaining three years following the term. This practice allows for more of a"apples to apples" comparisons between incentives. Incentives for expansion projects such as Jostens, Peterbilt Motors, and Flowers Foods are based only on the new value created by the project. The existing valuation that was relative to each of these projects was not included in the calculations. FISCAL INFORMATION: The City has awarded 35 incentives to foster development in the community, with 27 being represented in this report. The remaining incentives have not initiated, were terminated, or are not ad valorem or sales tax based. The City has invested $29.9 million in tax-related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net increase in property and sales tax revenues of$91.6 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999. The cost benefit percentage for all incentives awarded is 307%. There have been 10,581 jobs created or retained by incentivized projects. The table, which follows,provides the net revenue summary for the City, County and school district.

The City uses economic development incentives to stimulate private development and redevelopment, expand the tax base, generate jobs, and enhance the local economy. Denton is home to several corporate, regional, and international headquarters, as well as central distribution and maintenance facilities. The City facilitated a number of these projects by granting incentives to make the project feasible and to reimburse the costs of required public infrastructure. In 2009,the City of Denton Economic Development Department created the initial Net Revenue Report to examine the fiscal impact made by the businesses that have received property and sales tax incentives from the City, evaluate the efficiency of the public investment and to guide future policy decisions. State and DCTA sales tax revenue were added in 2010. In 2013, the report was expanded to include the revenue for Denton County, which includes both the incentives in which the County has partnered with the City, as well as the revenue from the incentives that the County did not invest in. The report comprised all of the taxing entities with the inclusion of Denton Independent School District(DISD) in 2015.The report was redesigned in 2016 and again in 2020. This is the eighth update of the report, which provides a comprehensive look at the fiscal impact made by the businesses that have received property and/or sales tax incentives from the City and evaluates the efficiency of the public investment. The total incentive received by the company, the City tax revenues generated since the agreement was initiated and the cost/benefit of the projects are provided. In addition, the report includes information regarding state, Denton County Transportation Authority(DCTA), Denton County, and DISD ad valorem and sales tax revenues created by these developments. CITY OF DENTON The City has awarded 35 incentives to foster development in the community, with 27 being represented in this report.The remaining incentives have not initiated,were terminated, or are not ad valorem or sales tax based.The City has invested $29.9 million in tax-related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net increase in property and sales tax revenues of $91.6 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999. The cost benefit percentage for all incentives awarded is 307%. Chapter 380 sales tax rebate incentives represented the highest percentage at 335%, followed by Chapter 380 property tax rebates and property tax abatements at 202% and 298%, respectively.There have been 10,581 jobs created or retained by incentivized projects.

The cost/benefit is also provided for the seven Tax Abatements and the two Chapter 380 Agreements in which the County jointly participated with the City to stimulate economic growth. Chapter 312 of the Texas Property Tax Code authorizes taxing entities to provide tax abatements. Chapter 381 of the Local Government Code authorizes counties to provide loans or grants to support economic development activities. The County has invested a total of $1.1 million in tax related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net increase in property tax revenues in the amount of $9.7 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999. The cost/benefit for all of the incentives awarded (joint and City only) is 867%. The cost/benefit from all of the tax abatements and Chapter 380/381 property tax incentives was 526%and 3,038%, respectively. The report was expanded in 2015 to include the ad valorem revenue that DISD has received from all the incentives awarded by the City. The cost/benefit is also provided for the two tax abatements in which DISD jointly participated with the City to stimulate economic growth. (Note: Texas school districts were at one time able to offer tax abatements similar to those of cities and counties, but that authority was repealed by the Texas Legislature). It is also important to note that the report uses the entire DISD tax rate, which includes the maintenance and operations and interest and sinking portions of the tax rate. DISD has invested a total of$621,572 in tax related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net increase in property tax revenues in the amount of$67.0 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999.The cost benefit percentage from all of the tax abatements alone was 6,364%.

Since the majority of incentive options available to Denton are tax based, tracking and reporting on the cost/benefit of the incentives awarded by City Council enhances transparency, supports fiscal responsibility, and aids in future decision-making regarding incentives. 2020 City of Denton Net Revenue Report 4 60 APPENDIX A METHODOLOGY This report represents the eighth update of the Net Revenue Report. The incentives are tracked for ten years regardless of the term. Standard economic development practice for impact analysis is ten years. For example, an incentive with a term for seven years is tracked for an additional three years until the ten-year period is reached. An incentive is not deducted for the remaining three years following the term. This is standard practice and also allows for more commensurable comparisons between incentives. The ad valorem or property tax valuation is based on the values that are released by the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) for the previous tax year. The certified valuations, released in July, are compiled from the DCAD website and sent out on a City of Denton Verification Form to the appraisal district. This form also includes a request for the breakdown of the Business Personal Property (BPP) that is not available on the website and a section that notifies the City if the property is being contested. The incentive calculations occur for the uncontested properties following the receipt of the forms from DCAD. The City notifies DCAD if the threshold has been met by companies for all of the tax abatements. DCAD also contracts out some of their accounts to Wardlaw. The tax bills are distributed from DCAD in October. The calculations for the contested properties are prepared upon receipt of the Verification Form from the appraisal district, which occurs sometime after October until the early part of the following year. Sales tax is collected by calendar year and is based on the allocation month that the sales tax report from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is received. Sales tax is generated two months prior to the receipt of the reports from the state comptroller. Sales tax generated in December 2019 is reported to the City in February of 2020, for example. Historical tax rates for Denton County and DISD, dating back to 1999, were gathered for this study from DCAD, Denton County, and DISD. The terms for the incentives were provided by Denton County and DISD, as several of the agreement terms and investment percentages differ from the terms of the City. Property tax is included from the base year of the economic development agreements or the first tax year that was available from DCAD when the initial report was compiled. Sales tax revenue reflects the revenues received since the initial tracking began or the grant payments were initiated. For example, the Unicorn Lake Agreement was approved in 2004; however, the first grant payment was made in 2009 after the thresholds were met. Property valuation for Unicorn Lake is cumulative since 2006 and sales tax is provided beginning in 2009. Sales tax monitoring for Rayzor Ranch began in 2010 prior to the receipt of the first payment in July 2012 to assist the City with preparing the 5-year forecast during the budgeting process. The incentive for Golden Triangle Mall was initiated in the summer of 2016, so only half of a year of rebates are included in the report. Tracking for the development began in 2013. School finance involves a complex funding formula from several different federal, state and local funding sources. As aforementioned, the report uses the entire DISD tax rate, which includes the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) and Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rates. The M&O portion of the tax rate is used for salaries, utilities, supplies etc. The I&S portion of the tax rate is used to fund payments on debt service for facilities and is the only portion of the DISD tax rate that is not affected by funding from the State of Texas. This study seeks to aid in the decision-making process by providing the net revenue from the incentivized projects. The calculations for the net revenue and cost/benefit are included below. Net Revenue=Revenues(property only and or sales tax generated)-incentive The report carries these calculations a step further to obtain the Cost/benefit of the incentive projects. 2020 City of Denton Net Revenue Report 5 61 Cost/benefit Percentage=Net revenue/incentive X 100 It is important to note that the report only gathers the sales tax generated from the projects which received a sales tax incentive. These include: Denton Crossing, Unicorn Lake, Rayzor Ranch, Golden Triangle Mall, Buc-ee's, WinCo and O'Reilly. Other projects, such as Schlumberger, generate sales taxes that would not have been generated in Denton if the business had not located in this community.This study takes a more conservative approach and does not include the sales taxes for the ad valorem only incentives. The rate of return provides the net revenue of the taxes generated relative to the cost of the incentive, as a ratio. The ratio of return for the City in 2020,for example, was 3:1.Another way of putting this is that the City received 3 times the revenue of the incentive forgone.The formula is presented below.
