Manager's Message
September 20, 2016
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
Pursuant to provisions of the City Charter and on behalf of the staff, I respectfully submit to
you the FY 2016-17 Budget. The Budget has been developed to accomplish the goals and
objectives that are outlined in the City of Denton's Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan
addresses five Key Focus Areas (KFA's).
In addition to the Strategic Plan discussions, City staff gave twelve departmental and budgetary
work session presentations from February through July of 2016. Departmental presentations were
given covering Libraries, Fire, Parks, Police, Developmental Services, Economic Development,
Streets and Traffic, and Transportation. Additional budgetary presentations covered, the General
Fund, Internal Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Improvement
Funds, along with productivity and efficiency programs of the City.
While this budget continues to make strides to implement the Strategic Plan, there are many
objectives which will take several years to achieve. As such, the FY 2016-17 Budget continues to
allocate available resources according to the City's Strategic Plan to achieve our goals. The pace
of growth in the General Fund for FY 2016-17 remains strong for the third straight year. Sales tax
revenues are expected to be approximately 4.2% above the prior fiscal year for FY 2015-16 and
are also estimated to grow at a rate of 3.0% for FY 2016-17.
Manager's Message
Property values including growth in the
City's two tax increment reinvestment
zones, grew significantly in a continued
recovery from recessionary levels with an
increase of 8.23% over the prior year tax
roll.
The adopted tax rate is a decrease from the
current rate of $0.68975 to $0.68334.
Franchise fees are expected to grow by
6.3% or $1,021,172 in FY 2016-17, and all
of this growth is to be transferred to the Street Improvement Fund. The budget also includes an
additional transfer of $622,000 from General Fund franchise fee revenue to the Street
Improvement Fund.
This budget continues to emphasize increased efficiency and improved customer service. We
continue to emphasize our most valuable asset, our employees, through the Leadership Excellence
and Enhancement Program "LEEP", Innovation and Lean Government efforts. These programs
help unleash the skills of our employees to reduce waste, and seek improved and innovative
methods to better serve the citizens. Many improvements, changes, and new initiatives included
in this budget are a direct result of the efforts of these employees. During the budget process, staff
evaluates all of the programs of the City to ensure that they continue to meet the priorities and
Strategic Plan of the City. Over the past several fiscal years, the City has also maintained a
"managed vacancies" program to contain expenditures. Throughout the fiscal year, as position
vacancies and attrition rates dictate, vacant positions are evaluated by City Management and,
according to the needs of the organization, positions are filled or left vacant. For FY 2016-17, the
managed vacancy program will be continued, and the savings budgeted for the upcoming fiscal
year is $1.0 million.
This budget continues to give top priority to increasing funding for maintaining and repairing
streets throughout the City. In 2011, the Strategic Plan specifically identified improving street
infrastructure as a major goal. In response to this goal, the FY 2011-12 Budget created the Street
Improvement Fund to provide a dedicated mechanism to account for street maintenance and
improvement activities. The 2012 and 2014 Bond Elections also provided increased funding, and
the planned debt issuance in FY 2016-17 for this purpose is $6.0 million. The total operating
funding for street maintenance has increased from $4.36 million in FY 2008-09 to $12.97 million
for FY 2016-17. Compared to FY 2015-16, budgeted revenue is projected to increase by
$1,850,360 from $11,115,423 to $12,965,783 in the Street Improvement Fund for FY 2016-17.
This additional funding will be used for an additional five member street maintenance crew and
equipment, as well as additional funding for base failure maintenance, overlay materials, and micro
seal activities.
Manager's Message
Street Maintenance Funding Forecast Additionally, the five-year financial plan
ill millions estimates an increase in the total operating
$24 maintenance funding for the City's Street
$20 Improvement Fund to approximately $19.6
$16 million by FY 2020-21. The combination of
$12 increased operating funding along with the
C t,,�f issuance of debt shows the strong commitment
$4 �,< <� ; to improving our streets. In the future, the City
$o will need to continue annual increases in
2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 funding for street maintenance activities along
with potential future debt issuance for street
reconstruction in order to improve the condition of the City's streets over the long term.
In addition to improving the City's street infrastructure, the enhancement of public safety is also
identified in the Strategic Plan as a major initiative. Accordingly, the FY 2016-17 General Fund
budget includes $2,641,808 in funding enhancements for public safety programs. This budget
includes the funding of a new medic unit (six new personnel) at Fire Station 8, breathing apparatus
replacements and a Fire Training Captain position. Funding is included in the Police Department
for the addition of one Lieutenant, four Patrol Officers, two Motorcycle Officers, five additional
9-1-1 dispatchers, and an additional position in the animal services division.
The General Fund budget includes $754,980 in enhancements to Neighborhood Services with the
funding of technology upgrades for the building inspections division. Funding is included for a
Historical Preservation Plan update in Planning. In the Parks Department funding is included for
the additional seasonal staff at the Water Works Park due to the addition of the wave pool and new
concession building. Parks funding also includes contractual support of $77,000 to the Parks
Foundation.
Administrative and Community Services supplemental programs are funded at $156,500 in the
General Fund. Supplemental packages include the addition of annual funding for parking lot
maintenance at City facilities, an Internal Audit position and an economic development impact
model.
Significant resources of $813,045 are budgeted from the Traffic Safety Fund in FY 2016-17 for
one-time expenditures. These include the replacement of one traffic signal, additional downtown
sidewalk improvements, intersection radar detection equipment, traffic signal pre-emption
improvements and ADA intersection improvements for five pedestrian crossings.
In addition to the funding enhancements for FY 2016-17, several one-time items are to be funded
in FY 2015-16 from existing appropriations in the General Fund. In the Fire Department, funding
Manager"s Message
is included to purchase a patient lift system, expansion of the station alerting system and breathing
air compressor. Other major items for FY 2015-16 funding are security cameras for the Library
system, an ADA study of streets, signals and rights-of-way, the parking lot reconstruction at the
Civic Center, the replacement of one traffic signal, a cemetery assessment, fencing for the Police
parking lot, and downtown sidewalk improvements. In addition, funding is authorized to assist
in replacing the loss of grant funding for Denton County Emergency Services
The overall FY 2016-17 Budget for all funds is $1.185 billion and includes 1,637.56 Full -Time
Equivalent positions (FTEs). A comprehensive summary of the budget is provided in the Budget
Overview section of this document. The key elements of the budget include the following:

Pay adjustments for Police and Fire civil service employees in accordance to their meet
and confer agreements to reach the market average plus 5%, normally programmed step
increases, and the first year of wellness incentive pay.
The FY 2016-17 Budget has been developed within the context of a five-year financial plan and
the long-term infrastructure needs of the community. The purpose of this approach is to provide
a long-term and financially sustainable perspective for decisions in the coming fiscal year. As we
develop future forecasts, we will continue to evaluate our ability to fund our strategic priorities
and maintain a balance between revenues and expenditures.
Each utility budget is developed within the context of long-range strategic and financial plans and
is based on strategies that support and strengthen the financial health of each utility. Additional
rate increases are planned in the future to address aging infrastructure issues and ensure that
adequate working capital and rate reserve funds are maintained. The Five -Year Financial Forecast
will be reviewed and revised annually as necessary to support utility objectives, and the key
assumptions for these plans are described in this document.
The budget includes a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for General Fund of
$133.374 million. The first year is $37.185 million with $17.16 million in General Obligation
Bonds, $18.935 million in Certificates of Obligation and $1.09 million funded by current revenues.
The General Obligation Bonds are for street reconstruction and expansion and public safety
improvements. The Certificates of Obligation are planned to be issued for the City's required
matching funds for the Bonnie Brae project, fleet vehicle replacement, facility maintenance, public
safety radio upgrades, a computer aided dispatch system replacement and a fuel truck for fleet
services. Lastly, the general CIP includes $1.190 million in revenue funded projects for technology
upgrades, fleet improvements, expansion of the materials management warehouse facility, and
pedestrian and bike lane additions.
The success of the City's Economic Development efforts is clearly shown through growing sales
tax and property values. The retail and restaurant development continues at Rayzor Ranch, Unicorn
Lake and the vibrant downtown area. BJ's Restaurant, Bone Daddy's, Chili's, In -N -Out Burger,
WinCo, H and M, and Francesca's are just some of the new businesses opened in the last year.
The Railyard redevelopment of a 28,000 square foot building and new 110 loft style apartments
just opened next to the City's Downtown Transit Center bringing housing, restaurants and
collaborative office space for the City's expanding technology sector. Several business projects
with new and expanding facilities are being constructed. Victor Technologies 30,000 square foot
research and development space and 185,000 square foot warehouse is underway. Peterbilt Motors
17,500 square foot expansion was recently completed and its new 102,000 square foot building is
also under construction. WinCo is moving rapidly toward completion on their 800,000 square foot
distribution facility that is located on 77 acres in the Westpark area. An anchor to the southern
portion of the Razor Ranch development is the Embassy Suites Hotel and connected 70,000 square
foot convention center that is estimated to be complete in late 2017. A second runway is under
design at the airport to facilitate increased activity and development. Residential building permits

continue to grow, adding new residents to shop, dine and enjoy these new establishments. The
adopted Denton Plan 2030 provides the roadmap for the next decade of positive growth for Denton.
I sincerely thank the members of the Denton City Council for their hard work and dedication to
the Citizens of Denton. The input of the City Council and Public Utilities Board has been
invaluable in the preparation of the FY 2016-17 Budget, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and
Five Year Financial Forecast. Appreciation is also expressed to members of the professional staff,
particularly in the Finance Department for their diligence in the preparation of the Budget.
With significant investments in our organization, people, and infrastructure, I am confident that
this Budget prepares the City of Denton for future success as well. With your support, and the
dedication of our capable staff, we will ensure that quality services are provided to the citizens of
Denton.
Sincerely,
Howard Martin
Interim City Manager

The Reader's Guide provides an overview of the City of Denton's budget process and budget
documents. The City of Denton has prepared a budget designed to meet the highest standards of
performance in municipal budgeting. This document provides a summary of all budgeted funds,
including both revenue and expenditure summaries. Major budget documents, the budget process,
and organization of the budget itself are described below.
Major Budget Documents
The City of Denton's budget process includes the production of five key documents. It is important
to understand the timing and purpose of these documents in order to fully understand the process
itself.
1. The Budget Instruction Manual -March
Prior to budget development and training of departmental support staff, the Budget
Instruction Manual is drafted and completed in March. This document serves as a
development guide and includes sections on annual budget highlights and specific
development instructions, as well as, appendices with rate calculations, format examples,
and supplemental forms.
2. Long -Range Financial Forecast - June
In June, the City Council meets to discuss the preliminary Long -Range Financial Forecast
for the city. After this meeting, staff prepares a five-year forecast to address key service
areas. The forecast is finalized at the end of July and included in the proposed budget
document.
3. The Budget Overview and Manager's Message -Late July
The Budget Overview and Manager's Message is submitted to the City Council in late July
as part of the proposed budget. This report summarizes and identifies key issues with
regard to revenues and expenditures for the coming year.
4. The Proposed Budget - Late July
The proposed budget is submitted to the City Council in late July of each fiscal year. This
document represents a balanced version of departmental budget requests versus
projected resources. The proposed budget is a product of policy as expressed by the City
Council and is prepared by the City Manager.
5. The Adopted Budget -September
The adopted budget represents a modified version of the proposed budget after public
hearings and City Council review in August/September. Any changes deemed necessary
by City Council to funding levels or revenue projections are reflected in the adopted
budget. Revisions may also be made to reflect any updates to budget information.
Reader's
The Budget Process
The City of Denton uses a program -oriented budgeting process. Each budgeting unit or division is
given a "baseline" funding level based upon the previous year's funding level. Any funding request
that represents new expenditures and programs, or that is in excess of adjusted baseline funding,
must be submitted as a separate request or "package."
1. Budget Training for Support Staff/Budget Guideline Review
January/February is the time when existing budget guidelines, procedures, and forms are
reviewed. Changes may be made to the budget process in order to make budget
development more efficient and address format changes.
Preliminary budget training for departments is available prior to budget kickoff. During
preliminary training, staff is informed of budgeting concepts and the budget process, as
well as, given a quick introduction to the City's budget forms.
During budget kickoff, departments receive the budget instruction manual so that they
may have specific instructions and a review of any changes to the budget process.
2. Revenue Projection
The budget revenue projections for the new fiscal year begin early in the current fiscal
year. The projections are made by the departments responsible for the revenues with help
from the Finance Department staff. Projections are based upon consultations with state
and local agencies, trend analysis, anticipated changes in the local and regional economy,
and discussions with directly associated staff members. Although revenue projections are
prepared early in the budget process, the budget revenue analysis continues with
departmental budget development and extends until the budget is adopted based upon
any new information.
3. Proposed Budget Development
During budget development, the Finance Department staff work with departments to
analyze requests, provide advice, and lend assistance. Budget requests are based upon a
baseline funding level, and any additional funding is made in the form of supplemental
requests.
4. Proposed Budget Analysis/Compilation
Once division and departmental budget requests are completed, the Finance Department
reviews and compiles a preliminary draft of departmental budgets to present to the
Management Team, which is comprised of the City Manager and Assistant City Managers.
A total recommended funding level is determined from both baseline and proposed
supplemental packages. At this time, the funding level is weighed against available
resources. A tax rate increase may or may not be recommended depending upon City
Council program priorities and issues previously expressed in the budget process.
S. Long -Range Financial Forecast
A workshop is held in June with the City Council to discuss the preliminary Long -Range
Financial Forecast for the city. After this meeting, staff refines the forecast to address key
service areas. The recommended version of the forecast is included in the proposed budget
document that is submitted to the City Council in July.
6. City Council Budget Study
The proposed budget, including the Budget Overview, is compiled as soon as possible after
final appraised property value and other data are received. This report highlights and
summarizes funding requirements, major changes in programs, and alternatives for
funding. A budget work session is held with the City Council to review and discuss the
proposed budget. Discussions and study may follow at subsequent work sessions until
budget adoption.
7. Public Hearing/Budget Adoption
A public hearing on the budget and two public hearings on the tax rate (if necessary) are
held in August and September prior to final budget consideration. At the public hearings,
citizens may make formal comments concerning the proposed budget and tax rate.
Budget adoption occurs in September after City Council deliberations and the public
hearings. City Council may take action to modify the proposed budget. The City Council
also adopts a tax rate to support adopted funding levels. Pursuant to City Charter, the
proposed budget as submitted by the City Manager becomes the adopted budget if no City
Council action is taken before the end of the fiscal year, September 30.
S. Compilation ofAdopted Budget/Budget Maintenance
An adopted budget is compiled and published during the first months of the new fiscal
year. The adopted budget in the form of an amended proposed budget is available for
public inspection in December.
Reader's Guide
Budget maintenance is a year-round activity of the organization. Spending controls consist
of budget holds, position control reviews, and budget transfer authorizations for
unbudgeted expenses. Additional spending control mechanisms include monthly review
of expenditures by the Finance Department.
During the budget process, departments make revenue and expenditure estimates for the
current year.
Finally, program goals, objectives, and measures are evaluated during budget development
to determine effectiveness of program activities and levels of appropriate funding for
subsequent years.
Budgetary and Financial Policies
The City of Denton has developed administrative policies, which govern the formulation and
administration of the annual budget. These administrative policies are incorporated within the City's
Administrative Policies and Procedures.
Financial Structure
The financial structure of the budget is organized by funds. A fund is generally defined as a fiscal and
accounting entity which has its own self -balancing set of accounts for recording cash and other
financial resources, as well as, any liabilities or residual equities or balances. Normally, funds are
segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. However, when appropriate, funds
are made up of departments. The two types of funds utilized in this budget are Governmental and
Proprietary. The specific funds that make up the Governmental Fund type are General Fund, General
Debt Service Fund, Street Improvement Fund, Recreation Fund, Tourist and Convention Fund, Police
Confiscation Fund, Police Academy Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, Economic Development Investment
Fund, Downtown Reinvestment Fund, Parks Gas Well Fund, Roadway Impact Fee Fund, Tree
Mitigation Fund, Public Education Government (PEG) Fund, McKenna Trust Fund, Park Land
Dedication and Development Trust Funds, Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ)
Fund, Westpark Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Fund, and Miscellaneous Special Revenue
Funds. The Proprietary Fund types are Electric Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, Solid Waste
Fund, Airport Fund, Technology Services Fund, Materials Management Fund, Fleet Management
Fund, Health Insurance Fund, Risk Retention Fund, and the Engineering Services Fund. Each of the
above-mentioned funds operates separately and independently from one another; therefore, they are
budgeted separately and include separate financial statements.

Budget Basis
The budget for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Funds are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting,
revenues are recognized when they become both "measurable" and "available" to finance
expenditures of the current period except where the accrual basis is specified by generally accepted
accounting principles. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred, except
for (1) inventories of material and supplies which may be considered expenditures either when
purchased or when used; (2) prepaid insurance and similar items which need not be reported; (3)
accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other employee benefit amounts which need not be
recognized in the current period; (4) interest on special assessment indebtedness which may be
recorded when due rather than accrued, if approximately offset by interest earnings on special
assessment levies; and (5) principal and interest on long-term debts which are generally recognized
when due. Budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are prepared on the full accrual
basis of accounting under which transactions are recognized when they occur regardless of timing or
related cash flow.
Organizational Relationships
A department is a major administrative segment of the City, which indicates overall management
responsibility for an operation or a group of related operations within a functional area. The smallest
organizational unit budgeted is the division. The division indicates responsibility for one functional
area, and in many cases these functional areas are put together to demonstrate a broader
responsibility. When this is done, the divisions are combined to make up a department.

The City of Denton uses a Strategic Plan as a roadmap to achieve long-term goals and objectives that
capture the City's Vision, Mission, and Value statements. The first Strategic Plan was formally
approved by the City Council in April 2011, and it has been updated periodically since that time. Over
the past year, the City has partnered with the Bloomberg What Works Cities initiative to refine our
strategic outcomes and identify measurable ways to mark our progress. The City Council approved
the FY 2016-17 Strategic Plan and associated performance measures on September 20, 2016.
The Strategic Plan serves as the basis for resource allocation decisions that are used in the
development of the FY 2016-17 Budget. The Strategic Plan is organized into five Key Focus Areas
(KFAs) and major goals associated with each KFA are also identified below.
Goal 1.1 Manage financial resources in a responsible manner.
Goal 1.2 Develop a high-performance work force.
Goal 1.3 Promote effective internal and external communication.

The Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget for all funds totals $1,185,429,836, a 22% increase over last fiscal
year. The largest portion of the increase is related to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). For
FY 2016-17, the CIP includes the sale of bonds for both the 2012 and 2014 Bond Election projects as
well as the issue of the bonds for the Denton Energy Center.
General Fund
Reserve Level
The City of Denton maintains a General Fund reserve balance for unanticipated expenditures,
unforeseen revenue fluctuations, or other adverse circumstances. To ensure that resources are
available for these types of issues, the City of Denton targets a fund balance equivalent to 20% of
budgeted expenditures, which is commensurate with cities similar to our size. Additionally, the
Budget includes a Resiliency Reserve equivalent to 5% of expenditures for the General Fund. This
reserve will only be utilized in cases of economic distress. As such, the purpose of the resiliency
reserve is to minimize budget and service fluctuations due to economic conditions.
The estimated ending reserve balance of $27,370,986 at the end of FY 2015-16 represents
approximately 24.8% of estimated expenditures and is well above the targeted goal of 20%. The
chart below provides a listing of the ending fund balances for the past two years, an estimated balance
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, and the projected balance for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2017.
Ending Balance $25,838,282 $27,365,168 $27,370,986 $27,271,621

Expenditures
Target Goal % 20% 20% 20% 20%-25%
As detailed in the chart, the City has continued to maintain strong reserve balances over the past
several years. While the financial forecast projects the fund balance level will decline when measured
as a percent of expenditures, this should only be interpreted as a planning estimate based on
information available at this time. City Management will continue to monitor our financial
performance, and make appropriate expenditure and/or revenue adjustments as necessary to
manage the fund balance level.
Revenues
The key General Fund revenue sources are discussed below. The chart below shows the source of
our major revenues for FY 2016-17:

Approximately one-third of the total General Fund revenue is generated from ad valorem taxes. As
shown below, the 2016 certified value for General Fund increased by 8.23% or $693,443,738 from
the 2015 certified value. Analysis of the increase shows there was approximately $208 million in
new value added to the appraisal roll due to new growth and construction. Council also approved an
increase to the disability exemption from $10,000 to $50,000. However, the certified value does not
reflect the decrease in value, due to the certified values were release before Council approval of the
exemption. Below is a chart with a detailed breakdown of certified values:

1 The Certified Total includes approximately $10,400,000 of value for disability exemption that will not be levied due to Council
approving an increase of the disability exemption to $50,000. The net assessed value for 2016 is $9,107,106,344.
2Downtown TIRZ - Reflects 95% of incremental value which changed in FY 2016-17 per Ordinance No. 2010-316.
3Westpark TIRZ -Reflects 40% of incremental value through FY 2037 per Ordinance No. 2013-033.
The increase (decrease) in the annual certified value is a combination of the new property values
added to the tax rolls and the increase (decrease) in value for existing properties. The chart below
has a detailed breakdown of the new property values and the change in existing property values for

Sales Tax
The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is sales tax. The FY 2015-16 year-end
estimate of $31,879,000 is 3.1% or $953,133 above budget and it is 4.2% or $1,277,036 more than
was received in FY 2014-15.
The FY 2016-17 Budget projects that sales tax will be $32,835,370 which is 3.0% above the FY 2015-
16 estimated amount. The five-year financial forecast projects a 3% increase in sales tax receipts
annually which includes collections related to the Rayzor Ranch and Golden Triangle Mall. The City
has economic development agreements with Denton Crossing, Unicorn Lake, Golden Triangle Mall,
Railyard Development and Rayzor Ranch for sales tax rebates, which are shown as expenses in the
Economic Development Department's budget.

Franchise Fees
Approximately 5% of the General Fund's revenues are related to franchise fees. Typically assessed
as a percentage of gross revenues, the purpose of the franchise fee is to provide compensation to the
City in return for allowing utilities to access the City's rights-of-way. The FY 2016-17 Budget includes
$17,215,269 in total franchise fees from various utilities operating in the City, including city -owned
utilities. In FY 2016-17 the Budget transfers an additional $622,000 of Franchise Fee revenue to the
Street Improvement Fund, leaving $5,606,849 franchise fee revenues in General Fund. The total
estimated franchise fee contribution to the Street Improvement Fund in FY 2016-17 is $11,608,420,
and this represents franchise fee revenue growth of $1,021,172 plus the additional franchise fees of
$622,000. Since franchise fees are generally considered to be compensation for the use of the city -
owned rights-of-way, the City is designating a portion of the franchise fees received in FY 2016-17 to
the Street Improvement Fund, which was created in FY 2011-12. By doing so, this better establishes
the linkage between the payment of franchise fees and the use of these funds on street maintenance
activities. With this in mind, however, it is important to also note that the City is not required to
spend franchise fees on street maintenance or any other specific activity. Rather, franchise fees are
meant to be a General Fund resource, and as such, they may be spent on any activity deemed
appropriate by the City Council. Additional details regarding the franchise fee allocation to street
maintenance activities are contained in the Street Improvement Fund section of this document.
Other Major Revenues
The FY 2016-17 Budget also includes $750,000 in revenue related to a federally funded grant
program that will reimburse City ambulance services for Medicaid and uninsured patients. The City
anticipates to be reimbursed $750,000 in FY 2016-17 and in subsequent years if the grant continues
to be federally funded.
Expenditures
Over the past several fiscal years, various cost containment strategies were implemented. One such
measure is the managed vacancy program, which began in FY 2010-11. Under this plan, savings are
achieved by establishing a target level of savings and monitoring vacancies to achieve this objective.
As personnel turnover and attrition occur in the organization, vacant positions are evaluated to
determine if they need to be filled or kept vacant according to the organization's priority needs. This
approach allows the City to respond to service demands while continuing to properly manage
resources. The managed vacancy program is included again for the upcoming fiscal year, and the
targeted savings is projected at approximately $1.0 million.
General Fund Expenditure Enhancements
By maintaining the cost containment strategies implemented in prior years and continuing the
vacancy management program, enhanced programming is possible for FY 2016-17. In accordance
with priorities established through the Strategic Plan, several General Fund expenditure
enhancements are included. The FY 2016-17 Budget includes $3,553,288 ($2,720,134 net cost after
applying associated revenues and cost offsets) in funding for program enhancements in the General
Fund. Enhancements in other funds totaling $5,141,897 ($5,079,884 net cost after applying
associated revenues and cost offsets) are also included and are detailed in each fund's section in this
document. The following chart illustrates the funding amounts and the percentage of total

Compensation
The City had a contract for a comprehensive compensation and classification study for
implementation in FY 2016-17, and it was approved by City Council. This study covered non -civil
service positions only (excludes temporary, seasonal, Police civil service, and Fire civil service).
Increases associated with the new compensation plan will be focused on those employees whose pay
falls below the minimum of the pay range for their position. For FY 2016-17, an average 3% merit
increase for non -civil service employees is included and pay adjustments are included for civil service
employees based on the meet and confer agreement. To address changing labor market conditions,
the five-year financial forecast also includes an average 3% merit increase for employees in each year
of the financial plan. The Budget also includes normally scheduled step increases for civil service
public safety personnel.
The following charts are summaries of compensation increases for employees over the past four
years:

*STEP Pay increases for both Police and Fire Civil Service positions
City Management and Police and Fire employee associations have signed meet and confer agreements
that include provisions for compensation. Both agreements apply to civil service employees only.
The goal of each compensation plan is to achieve a pay structure that is equal to the market survey
averages plus 5% in each rank compared to twelve Metroplex police and fire agencies. As part of
each agreement, the increases for Police and Fire civil service employees may be limited to an amount
equal to the average compensation increases budgeted for civilian employees. However, in keeping
with the goals of the agreements, increases in compensation for civil service employees will be based
on the percentage needed to keep each position at 5% above the survey market average in FY 2016-
17. In some cases, this will result in various ranks receiving different increases. The budget also
includes normally scheduled STEP increases and the first year of annual Wellness Incentive Pay for
civil service public safety personnel.
Other Agency Contributions
Other agency contributions represent allocations for the City of Denton to outside organizations for
specific agreed upon purposes. The Human Services Committee received requests totaling $579,755
for FY 2016-17. The Human Services Committee recommended total funding of $411,945 which is a
9.1% increase from the FY 2015-16 funding level. This funding is split between support from the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of $131,945 and $280,000 from the General Fund. The
General Fund's FY 2016-17 contribution is $30,000 more than in FY 2015-16. The total support
provided from the General Fund is approximately $2.28 per capita (based on 2016 projected
population) compared to $2.07 per capita (based on 2015 projected population) in the FY 2015-16
Budget. In future years, City Management intends to increase the per capita funding level by an
incremental amount each year.
Grants
The City benefits from a variety of federal, state and local grants. In addition, the City routinely
provides matching funds for various programs. A complete list of grants is provided in the Budget in
the miscellaneous funds section of the document. The total grant budget for FY 2016-17 is
$11,154,737.
Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents the City's five-year plan for infrastructure and
equipment funding. The CIP is reviewed each year to reflect changing priorities, as well as to monitor
the impact of capital projects on operating budgets and for project scheduling and coordination. The
Strategic Plan provides the framework for identifying capital requirements, specifically Key Focus
Area 2, Public Infrastructure. The General Government CIP includes non-utility projects such as
streets, parks, and other general government facilities that are typically funded through general
obligation bonds or certificates of obligation. Approximately every five years, the City has appointed
a citizen bond committee to make recommendations to Denton residents on capital improvement
needs.
The General Government CIP includes the issuance of $4.0 million in General Obligation (GO) Bonds
in FY 2016-17 which represents the fifth and final year of street projects approved by voters in
November 2012 and $13.160 million in GO's, which represents the third year of projects approved
by voters in November 2014. In addition, the General Government CIP includes the issuance of $18.9
million in Certificates of Obligation for the following projects: $2 million for Public Safety Radio
Upgrades (Digital); $3 million for a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System Replacement; $4.26
million for vehicle replacements; $1.175 million for maintenance of city facilities; and $8.5 million for
matching funds for road improvements on Bonnie Brae. In addition, the City is proposing to fund a
portion of its CIP with operating revenues. Revenue funded projects are detailed in the Capital
Improvement Program section of this document.
Capital projects that impacted the FY 2016-2017 operating budget include the Wave Pool and
Concession Stand requiring 13.6 new FTE's, equipment, supplies, and services required to operate
the new wave pool and permanent concession stand at Water Works Park ($608,076). The higher
operating expenses will be offset by the projected revenue increase from the growth in attendance
generated by addition of the new Wave Pool.
The Utility CIP includes projects for the City's enterprise funds, such as Electric, Water, Wastewater
and Drainage that are funded from non -tax revenue. The Utility CIP is designed to make sufficient
investments in infrastructure in order to provide reliable service to customers. The CIP for Solid
Waste is also included and reflects the anticipated level of projects to be funded from certificates of
obligation. The Public Utilities Board (PUB) developed a recommendation of the Utility CIP and it is
included in the Budget.
Utility Reserve Levels
The Utility Departments and the Public Utilities Board have developed financial strategies and
objectives to maintain financial stability and resiliency. One objective is to achieve and maintain
reserve balances that provide adequate working capital and operating reserve levels. These reserve
targets are based in large part on the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices
for enterprise funds. In general, "Reserves" are divided into two components: Working Capital and
Operating Reserves. Working Capital provides a minimum unrestricted fund balance to provide the
liquidity needed to allow regular management of payables and payment cycles. The working capital
target for each utility is 30 days (8%) of average budgeted expenditures.
The operating reserve funds provide a means of managing expense and demand volatility, ensure
that funding is available for emergencies such as equipment or infrastructure failure, and serve to
improve overall resiliency. Over the past year, staff has evaluated reserve levels in each of the
utilities, and as a result of that analysis, reserve levels increased for Water, Wastewater and Solid
Waste. The table below reflects the targets. These targets were adopted by Council in September
2016. The working capital and operating reserve targets are as follows (presented as a percentage
of expenses):
In addition to the above amounts, the Water and Wastewater Funds maintain separate impact fee
and development plan line reserves. The Wastewater Fund also maintains a separate drainage
reserve to be used for repairs of the drainage system in the event of major unforeseen circumstances.
The Solid Waste Fund maintains a separate reserve for Landfill Closure/Post-closure purposes.
The operating budgets, capital improvement plans and rate increases projected in the utilities five-
year financial plans have been developed to support these targeted reserve fund balances and are
addressed below.

The Solid Waste Fund maintains a separate reserve for Landfill Closure/Post-closure purposes.
The operating budgets, capital improvement plans and rate increases projected in the utilities five-
year financial plans have been developed to support these targeted reserve fund balances and are
addressed below.
Aging Infrastructure
As in the prior year, the Utilities will continue their financial strategy of replacing an increasing
percentage of existing assets with current revenue instead of debt. The issuance of debt will be
generally reserved for the addition of new assets. This strategy will reduce the reliance on debt
issuance and maintain adequate debt coverage ratios for the Electric, Water and Wastewater utilities.
The projected operating budgets, capital improvement plans and rates contained in the five-year
financial plan contemplate a phased approach to revenue funded asset replacements and maintain
debt coverage ratios at bond covenant levels.
Electric Fund
The FY 2016-17 Electric Budget includes $176,982,488 in revenues and $173,408,320 in
expenditures.
Rates
The FY 2016-17 Denton Municipal Electric (DME) Budget includes a base rate increase of 4.5%, which
will be offset by reductions in Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA) and Transmission Cost Recovery Factor
(TCRF). The Energy Cost Adjustment rate will be adjusted as necessary based on changes in energy
costs. For FY 2016-17, the ECA rate is budgeted at 3.61 cents/kWh.
Personnel Changes
The FY 2016-17 DME Budget includes an increase of 9.0 new FTE's, of which 7.0 FTE's are related to
the enhanced CIP program, 1.0 FTE in the Energy Management, and 1.0 FTE for general operations.
� 7.0 FTE's related to the CIP Program:

o 1.0 FTE in Administration - FERC/ERCOT Business Analyst.
Return on Investment (ROI) and Franchise Fees
The DME Budget includes a 3.5% ROI payment and a 5.0% franchise fee payment to the General Fund.
The ROI and franchise fee payments are calculated using an estimated annual average ECA of 3.00
cents/kWh, which is the cap for both payments as set by the City Council.
Major Capital Improvement Projects
The Electric Fund CIP budget includes funding for the following major capital projects in FY 2016-17:
Power Plant: $ 92.0 million
Feeder Extensions and Improvements: $ 18.2 million
Distribution Substations: $ 18.1 million
New Residential and Commercial Service: $ 7.1 million
Including the improvements discussed above, the FY 2017-21 five-year capital improvement
program is $648 million, approximately $245 million more than the prior five-year plan approved in
FY 2015-16. The enhanced program is necessary to meet the expected growth in demand for electric
service, implement the Renewable Denton Plan, improve the reliability of the electric system, replace
aging infrastructure, and comply with new regulatory requirements.
The FY 2016-17 Water Fund Budget includes revenues of $48,783,171 and expenditures of
$51,782,691. For FY 2016-17, reserves in the amount of $2,999,520 will be used to balance the
budget. The table below illustrates budgeted water sales for FY 2015-16 and projected sales for FY
2016-17.
Rates
A 5% revenue increase for retail water customers is included and the actual rates will be based on
cost of service adjustments. The five-year financial forecast includes future rate increases to support

1 FY 2016-17 and FY 2015-16 includes an Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA) rate of $0.0361 and $0.0391 respectively.
The rate increases are as follows for FY 2016-17: DME includes a base rate increase of 4.5% which
is offset by a reduction in the Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) and Energy Cost Adjustment
(ECA) rates. Water includes a 5% overall revenue increase, Wastewater includes a 2% overall
revenue increase and Solid Waste includes a 1.8% increase for a standard cart. Since there are a
variety of rate structures for each utility, the average rates shown above may differ slightly from the
overall expected revenue increase.
Airport Fund

comprised of both Airport operations and Airport gas wells. Beginning in FY 2016-17, Airport debt

Fleet Management Fund
The Fleet Management Fund reflects the costs for providing vehicle maintenance and equipment -
related support services to City departments. This internal service fund is comprised of four
functional areas, including vehicle maintenance, fuel purchasing, vehicle parts contract and motor
pool administration. The FY 2016-17 Budget includes continued improvements to the training room
($45,000). In addition, Fleet will purchase a Fuel Truck ($202,250) to refuel heavy equipment and
generators at City facilities using 5 year debt.
Disk Retention Fund
The Risk Retention Fund is established to record the activities of providing insurance coverage and
self-funded activities for City operations including vehicle, property, general liability and workers
compensation claims. Included in the budget is $97,057 for one FTE, a Claims Administrator.
Health Insurance Fund
When the City switched to a self-funded health insurance plan in 2008, long-term savings were
projected for the Health Insurance Fund. While the self-funded program has provided considerable
savings as expected (an estimated $11.0 million through 2015), the rising cost of health care
continues to be a concern.
In an effort to address those rising costs, the City opened the Employee Health Center (clinic) in
December 2011. The clinic provides primary care benefits at no cost to our employees, retirees, and
dependents that are covered under the City's self-funded program. Since opening the Clinic in 2012,
the number of patient appointments has continued to increase. During the first year of operation in
2012, there were approximately 5,553 patient appointments, in 2013, there were 6,127 patient
appointments and 8,520 patient appointments in 2014. In 2015, there were 8,650 patient
appointments. In 2015, 823 employees completed a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) atthe clinic. The
HRA includes a comprehensive blood draw and a 40 minute follow-up appointment with the clinic
physician.
Based on the data so far in FY 2015-16, health care costs have increased over this time last year. For
FY 2016-17, the budget includes a 6% increase in the City contribution to the Health Insurance Fund,
as well as, 10% and 6% increases in employee contributions for the Gold and Silver benefit plans
respectively. Several additional changes to the Health plan are being implemented to control costs
and improve service. Most notably, a spousal surcharge will be implemented for spouses who have
access to another health care plan, such as through their employer. There will be no spousal
surcharge for those spouses who do not have other health care options.
Engineering Services Fund
The Engineering Services Fund was created in FY 2013-14. The engineering functions that were
previously budgeted in the Water Fund, Wastewater Fund and General Fund were reorganized and
consolidated into this new fund. This fund combines capital engineering, development review
engineering, contract engineering, public works inspections and real estate functions under one
umbrella. The department does not include engineering functions for DME. The FY 2016-17
Engineering Services budget includes revenues of $4,985,905 and expenditures of $5,062,115. For
FY 2016-17, reserves in the amount of $76,210 will be used to balance the budget. The addition of
one FTE for a Senior Engineer ($129,240) is included in FY 2016-17.
Street ImprovementFund
The Street Improvement Fund was established in FY 2011-12. The purpose of the fund is to provide
a dedicated mechanism to account for street maintenance and improvement activities. The Street
Improvement Fund receives revenue from a portion of franchise fees previously accounted for in the
General Fund. Fees associated with street cuts are also recorded in the Street Improvement Fund.
Interest cost savings associated with issuing Certificates of Obligation in lieu of Revenue Bonds are
also transferred to the Street Improvement Fund from the utility funds. Beginning in 2010, the City
changed the manner by which the utilities issue debt to fund capital improvements by selling General
Obligation Bonds instead of Revenue Bonds. Using the AA+ credit rating of the General Obligation
Bonds, rather than the AA- credit rating of the Revenue Bonds, the City was able to lower the interest
costs to the Utility funds. As such, this budget transfers $997,363 in interest cost savings from the
utility funds to the Street Improvement Fund in FY 2016-17.
For FY 2016-17, revenues are budgeted to be $12,965,783 and expenditures of $13,320,783. For FY
2016-17, reserves in the amount of $355,000 will be used to purchase 3 new vehicles for the new
construction crew.
A new crew consisting of five new FTE's is included for FY 2016-17, 1 FTE - Field Services Supervisor,
1 FTE - Crew Leader, 1 FTE - Heavy Equipment Operator II, 2 FTE's - Field Service Worker II's
($347,102). Funding is included for additional dollars for base failure maintenance ($200,000),
overlay ($500,000), Micro -seal ($174,641) and funding of $355,000 for 3 new vehicles. The total
operating funding for street maintenance has increased from $4.36 million in FY 2008-09 to $13.32
million for FY 2016-17.
Tree Mitigation Fuad
The Tree Mitigation Fund is currently used to purchase, plant, and maintain trees on public property.

major changes.

enforcement cameras. The City operates red light enforcement cameras at various intersections
across the City. The fine revenue derived from violations has been earmarked for pedestrian and
traffic safety projects and equipment. The FY 2016-17 Traffic Safety Fund Budget includes revenues
of $2,525,900 and expenditures of $2,834,495. For FY 2016-17, reserves in the amount of $308,595

The Public Education Government (PEG) Fund provides for the acquisition of production equipment,
capital and other lawful PEG purposes. PEG fees are remitted to the City on a quarterly basis.
Resources are programmed to support four public education government channels operated by the
University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, Denton Independent School District and Public
Access.
McKenna rust Fund
The McKenna Trust Fund is used to account for interest received from the George McKenna Trust,
which was established in 1958 and currently is managed by JP Morgan Chase Bank. One half of the
net income from this trust is distributed to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth and the other half
is distributed to the City of Denton for use only in maintaining, developing, preserving, and improving
the George McKenna Park in the City.
Miscellaneous Special Revenue Funds
Periodically the City receives donations from the community for special purposes. The Miscellaneous
Special Revenue Funds consists of separate donation collections for the Police Department, Fire
Department, Animal Control and the Library. Revenue and expenses for these funds will be
represented individually for budgeting purposes.
Parks Land Dedication and Development Trust Funds
The Parks Land Dedication and Development Trust Funds are funds received from developers which
provide for neighborhood parks and projects within a maximum 1 mile radius of the development or
platting. Because of the specific use of these funds, projects planned for next fiscal year are
concentrated in neighborhood park areas in the community. The Park Land Dedication fund will be
used for the acquisition of prospective neighborhood park property at North Lakes, Fred Moore, and
for linear parks. The Park Development Trust Fund will be used to construction of parks at Carl
Young, North West Trail extension, North Lakes Dog Park, Fred Moore, Londonderry playground, and
Downtown Pocket Parks. Both funds will also be used to cover labor expenses of employees who are
working on Trust fund projects.
The City's Parks Gas Well Fund was established to record the receipt of restricted gas well revenues
on park property. Expenditures from this fund will be used for park system projects. The City
currently has several producing gas wells located on City owned property and throughout the
community. Because gas well revenue is considered a short-term resource, the expenditures
programmed from these funds for FY 2016-17 will be used to fund one-time needs. The Parks Gas
Well Fund budget includes $100,000 for expenses for Park amenities.
Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Fund
The Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Fund (TIRZ #1) was created in FY 2011-12
through Ordinance No. 2010-316, which was adopted on December 7, 2010. The fund accounts for

GENERAL FUND MAJOR REVENUE SUMMARY
1. Ad Valorem Tax
The 2016-17 total certified appraised value for the City of Denton is $9,161,850,493 which is an increase of
8.26% over the prior year's certified value. The net assessed valuation for the General Fund is
$9,107,106,344, $53,831,393 for the Downtown TIRZ Fund and $912,756 for the Westpark TIRZ Fund. The
ad valorem tax rate is reduced by .641 cents to $0.68334 per $100 of valuation.
2. Sales Tax
The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is sales tax receipts. The FY 2016-17 adopted amount
for sales tax is $32,835,370 which is 3.0% above the FY 2015-16 estimate of $31,879,000. Because of the
volatility of this resource, future years of the financial forecast assume a conservative 3% growth rate for
sales tax receipts.
3. Franchise Agreements
Revenue from franchise fees are budgeted to decrease by $622,000 in FY 2016-17 and in years 2-5 of the
long range forecast. An amount of $5,606,849 is retained for the General Fund. The forecasted growth in
franchise fees above the amount retained by the General Fund will be transferred to the Street Improvement
Fund. The amount retained is to be reduced by $622,000 per year over a ten year period until all franchise
fees are transferred to the Street Improvement Fund.
4. Fines and Fees
Overall, fines and fees are budgeted to decrease $355,685, or 7.9% below the prior year's budget. This is
primarily due to decreased municipal fines and court administrative fees.
S. Service Fees
Revenue from service -related fees is budgeted to increase $1,067,135 or 15.54% above the prior year's
budget. This is primarily due to projected revenue increases at Water Works Park due to the addition of a
wave pool and anticipated increased recovery of ambulance service fees.
6. Licenses and Permits
Revenue from licenses and permits related to development is anticipated to increase $379,874 or a 14.7%
increase over the prior year's budget. This is primarily due to projected increased building permit
applications.
7. Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenue is budgeted to increase by $44,360 or 2.9% above the prior year's budget. This is
primarily due to increased reimbursements from the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and
Denton Independent School District (DISD).
8. Transfers
Overall, transfers to the General Fund are budgeted to increase by $101,680 or 1.3% over the prior year's
budget. This is primarily due to overall increased anticipated Return on Investment (ROI) payments from the
City's Utility Operations.

The General Debt Service Fund accumulates and makes payments of principal and interest on long-term debt secured
by the general taxing powers pertaining to the City's jurisdiction. Resources include an applicable portion of the Ad
Valorem Tax Levy and related interest income, as well as transfers from internal service funds for their portion of the
debt service payment.
DEBT MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
A. Debt Issuance. The City will issue debt primarily for the purpose of acquiring or constructing capital
assets for the general benefit of its citizens and to allow it to fulfill its various missions as a city. Debt may
be issued for the purposes of purchasing land or rights-of-way and/or improvements to land, for
construction projects to provide for the general good, or for capital equipment.
B. Types of Debt
1. General Obligation Bonds (GOs). General Obligation Bonds will be used only to fund capital assets of
the general government and are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and its ad valorem tax
authority. They are not to be used to fund operating needs of the City. General Obligation Bonds must
be authorized by a vote of the citizens of the City of Denton.
2. Revenue Bonds (RBs). Revenue Bonds will be issued to provide for the capital needs of any activities
where the capital requirements are necessary for continuation or expansion of a service which
produces revenue and for which the asset may reasonably be expected to provide for an income
stream to fund the debt service requirements. Prior to FY 2009-10 the City of Denton issued utility
system revenue bonds for all utility financing needs. Beginning in June 2010, management elected to
discontinue this practice in favor of issuing Certificates of Obligation (COs). The purpose of this change
is to take advantage of interest savings associated with the higher AA+ bond rating for COs.
3. Certificates of Obligation (COs). Certificates of Obligation may be issued to:
Finance permanent improvements and land acquisition, the need for which arose between bond
elections;
➢ Finance costs associated with capital project overruns;
Acquire equipment/vehicles;
Leverage grant funding;
Renovate, acquire, construct facilities and facility improvements;
Construct street improvements;
Provide funding for master plans/studies; or
Address necessary life safety needs.
In accordance with state law, an ordinance authorizing publication of a notice of intent to issue
Certificates of Obligation shall be presented for the consideration of the City Council. The notice of
intent shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City once a week for two
consecutive weeks with the first publication to be at least fifteen (15) days prior to the sale date.
Certificates of Obligation may be backed by a tax pledge under certain circumstances as defined by law.
They may also be backed by a combination of tax and revenue pledge eligible under state law.
General Debt Service Fund
Some revenues are restricted as to the uses for which they may be pledged. Electric, Water,
Wastewater, and Solid Waste revenues may be pledged without limit for Electric, Water, Wastewater,
and Solid Waste purposes but may only be pledged up to $10,000 for non-utility system purposes.
The life of the obligation will not exceed the estimated useful life of the projects financed.
4. Method of Sale. The City will use a competitive bidding process in the sale of bonds unless the nature
of the issue warrants a negotiated sale. In situations where a competitive bidding process is not
elected, the City will present the reasons why, and will actively participate with the financial advisor in
the selection of the underwriter or direct purchaser.
S. Bidding Parameters. The notice of sale will be carefully constructed so as to ensure the best possible
bid for the City, in light of the existing market conditions and other prevailing factors. Parameters to
be examined include:
➢ Limits between lowest and highest coupons;
➢ Coupon requirements relative to the yield curve;
➢ Method of underwriter compensation, discount or premium coupons;
➢ Use of true interest cost (TIC);
➢ Use of bond insurance;
y Serial debt versus term debt with mandatory sinking fund redemptions; and
➢ Call provisions.
C. Analysis of Financing Alternatives. Staff will explore alternatives to the issuance of debt for capital
acquisitions and construction projects. These alternatives will include, but not be limited to: 1) grants in
aid, 2) use of reserves, 3) use of current revenues, 4) contributions from developers and others, 5) leases,
and 6) impact fees.
D. Disclosure. Full disclosure of operations will be made to the bond rating agencies and other depositories
of financial information including the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) System, as well as the
Texas Municipal Advisory Council (State Information Depository) as required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c2-12.
E. Rating Agency Communication. The City staff will seek to maintain and improve its current bond rating
so its borrowing costs are reduced to a minimum and its access to credit preserved. The City staff, with the
assistance of financial advisors and bond counsel, will prepare the necessary materials for presentation to
the rating agencies, will aid in the production of Official Statements, and will take responsibility for the
accuracy of all financial information released.
F. Federal Requirements. The City will maintain procedures to comply with arbitrage rebate and other
federal requirements.
G. Debt Limit. The State of Texas limits the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 valuation. Denton's
adopted rate of $0.68334 per $100 valuation falls well below this limit.
H. Bond Ratings, Denton's bonds currently have the following ratings:
These ratings directly affect the cost of debt. Since the City has outstanding bonds previously rated by
Moody's Investor Services, these bonds retain a surveillance rating of Aa2 for General Obligation. The City
has no outstanding Revenue Bonds as of 10-1-16. The Revenue Bond ratings reflected above are the latest
ratings obtained. The City's policies are focused on issues which maintain high bond ratings and keep debt
costs reasonable.

Downtown Denton
Denton is a unique community whose diversity gives it
strength. Although Denton is no longer a small town,
there are certain qualities of small town life that citizens
hold dear. The historic downtown is the heart of Denton;
the square and surrounding streets are used every day
and night as a gathering place for commerce, civic
events, and entertainment.
The City of Denton is 98.481 square miles and
strategically positioned within the Dallas/Fort Worth
(DFW) metro area, 37 miles northwest of Dallas and 35
miles northeast of Fort Worth. Located on the Interstate
35 corridor at the intersection of I -35E and I -35W,
Denton is 18 miles from DFW International Airport and
15 miles north of Alliance Airport. Proximity to these
major international transportation facilities provides
Denton an unparalleled advantage in meeting the
transportation needs of business and industry.
Denton was founded in 1857 to
have a county seat at the center
of the Denton County. Denton's
projected population in 2017 is
124,988 and that is expected to
increase very rapidly in the next
twenty years as large
residential developments are
planned. According to the 2010
Census the City of Denton is the
271h most populous city in Texas
and the 11th largest in DFW.
Since the 19th century, Denton has been a major higher
education center. It is the home of two major state
universities, the University of North Texas (UNT) and
Texas Woman's University (TWU). UNT has the most
enrollments in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton region at
more than 35,000 students. TWU has an enrollment of
over 15,000 students and is a leader in health science
and service related graduates.
Denton is rapidly becoming a major center for medical
services. Its two major hospitals, Denton Regional
Medical Center and Texas Health Presbyterian, have
been joined by a wide range of specialty hospitals,
surgery and treatment centers, and outpatient clinics.
These facilities draw patients from all over North Texas
and from southern Oklahoma.
The City of Denton and the Denton Chamber of
Commerce joined forces in 1987 and entered into a
formal agreement to establish a joint Economic
Development Partnership (EDP). The EDP is charged
with aggressively broadening the tax base, expanding
employment, and marketing Denton for economic
growth.
The City of Denton City Council approved the updated
comprehensive plan, Denton Plan 2030, in February
2015. The Denton Plan 2030 outlines a 20 year
community "to-do" list by working together with
citizens, community stakeholders, a planning consultant
team, and city departments. Additional information is
available at dentonplan2030.com.
The City has been

driving force in organizing the
Denton County
Transportation Authority
(DCTA), the only regional rail
authority organized in a
Texas county that joins a
highly urban county with an
established transportation
authority. During the
summer of 2011 DCTA began
light rail service between
Denton and Carrollton which
provides connectivity to
Dallas Area Rapid Transit
Denton has a growing municipal airport with over 900
acres available for public/private investment. In August
of 2012 the airport celebrated its 1 millionth flight
operation. The installation of a runway extension and
taxiway lighting system at the Denton Airport greatly
enhanced the safety of Denton -based and visiting pilots.
Controlled by an FAA -certified air traffic control tower,
the system provides pilots with three lighting intensities
that enable safe runway environments, day or night,
regardless of weather conditions. The increased safety
margins of the control tower translate to increased
visitors, businesses, growth, and greater prosperity for
Denton.
Many performing groups provide Denton with an
endless supply of cultural and entertainment
opportunities. The Greater Denton Arts Council, Denton
Community Theater, Black Box theatre, Bach Society,
UNT College of Music, UNT Dance and Drama
Department, and TWU Dance and Theater Arts
Department top the list. In addition, more than 100
festivals and events draw hundreds of thousands of
visitors from outside the Denton area.
Denton offers a myriad of recreational activities. For
boating enthusiasts, there are two large area lakes, Lake
Lewisville to the south and Lake Ray Roberts to the
north, both within 20 minutes of Denton. For race
enthusiasts, Texas Motor Speedway, which is part of the
NASCAR circuit, is just 16 miles south of Denton on
I -35W. The City of Denton maintains 34 parks and open
spaces, 27 miles of trails, and 12 recreational facilities
Civic Center
Pool and
received the
Texas Recreation and Park Society award for Recreation
Facility Design. In addition during FY 2015-16, the Parks
and Recreation Department completed the Eureka 2
playground which included community participation at
every level. The Eureka 2 playground is a 25,000 sq. ft.
facility that is accessible to children with special needs.
During FY 2016-17 the department will begin
construction on the 13,300 sq. ft. wave pool and new
concession stand at the Denton Water Works Park.
Sustainability and environmental stewardship is a
primary goal for the City of Denton and it is being
achieved through clean electricity, biking and walking
trails, and expanding the urban tree canopy. The City is
a member of the EPA's Green Power Partnership, a
voluntary program that encourages organizations to use
renewable energy as a way to reduce environmental
impacts of conventional electricity use. Currently, 78%
of the City of Denton's electric usage comes from
renewable sources and Denton is ranked the 17t1i in the
nation by the Green Power Partnership. Denton is
expanding and connecting bike lanes all over the City
and increasing the percentage of tree canopy by planting
trees in public spaces. Denton is known as the Redbud
Capital of Texas.

Capital Improvement Program
FY2017-2021 CIP OVERVIEW
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents the City's five-year plan for infrastructure and
equipment funding. The CIP is reviewed each year to reflect changing priorities, as well as to
monitor the impact of capital projects on operating budgets and for project scheduling and
coordination. The Strategic Plan provides the framework for identifying capital requirements,
specifically Key Focus Area 2: Public Infrastructure.
All projects included in the first year of the Capital Program are included in the FY 2016-17
Adopted Budget. Projects included in the "out -years" (2018 -2021) will be approved by Council in
concept only. The Program will be updated annually to address specific needs as they arise or as
Council goals and policies change.
POLICIES AND FINANCING STRA TEEGIE.S
The General Government CIP includes non-utility projects such as streets, parks, airport, and other
general government facilities that are typically funded through general obligation bonds or
certificates of obligation. Internal service funds such as fleet services, communications, technology
services, and materials management will also utilize the same financing methods.
The Utility CIP has historically been funded through revenue bonds and includes projects that
benefit the City's enterprise funds such as electric, water and wastewater. Beginning in June 2010,
management elected to discontinue issuing utility system revenue bonds in favor of issuing
certificates of obligation. The purpose of this change is to take advantage of interest savings
associated with the higher AA+ bond rating for certificates of obligation. However, the Electric CIP
for FY 2016-17 includes the issuance of utility system revenue bonds for construction of an
Electric Quick Start Peak Power Generation Facility. The CIP for solid waste is also financed
through the issuance of certificates of obligation. The Public Utilities Board is responsible for
developing Utility CIP project recommendations for consideration and approval by the City
Council.
Capital Improvement Program
Approximately every five years, the City may appoint a citizen's committee to make
recommendations to Denton residents for capital improvement needs. The criteria listed below
serve as the basis for staff recommendations regarding CIP projects related to general obligation
bond sales:
1. Public safety, health and life
2. Service demands
3. Legal requirements, liability or mandate
4. Quality and reliability of current service level
5. Economic growth and development
6. Recreational, cultural, and aesthetic value
7. Funding ability
8. Operating budgets
In November 2014, the voters approved a $98.175 million general obligation bond program to
fund street improvements ($61.71 million), public safety facilities ($16.565 million), drainage
improvements ($8.545 million), and park system improvements ($11.355 million). The FY 2016-
17 CIP includes the third year issuance of $13.16 million in general obligation bonds related to the
authorized six year bond program. The remaining amounts are anticipated to be issued over the
next three years.
The following table is the Authorized but unissued General Obligation Bonds:
The City has established the following policies and financing strategies to guide staff in developing
the CIP:
➢ A capital project is a fixed asset with an initial cost greater than $5,000 and a projected
useful life greater than 5 years. Capital projects may include infrastructure, buildings,
vehicles, or information technology equipment and software. Planning and design costs
associated with the project should be included in the projected costs when applicable.
➢ The term of any city debt issue shall not exceed the useful life of the asset for which the debt
is issued.
➢ The capital program will recognize the borrowing limitation of the City to maintain fiscal
stability.
➢ The City will search for all possible outside funding sources for CIP projects to help offset
city debt, including grants, private -partnerships, and intergovernmental agreements.
Capital Improvement Program
FY 016-17 MAJOR CIP PROJECTS
The FY 2016-17 General Government CIP includes the issuance of $4 million in General
Obligation Bonds representing the final year of street projects approved by voters in November
2012 and $13.16 million in General Obligation Bonds representing the third year of projects
approved by voters in November 2014. In addition, the General Government CIP includes the
issuance of $18.935 million in Certificates of Obligation for the following projects: $4.06 million
for vehicle replacements; $1.175 million for maintenance of city facilities; $2 million for public
safety radio upgrades to digital; $3 million for a public safety computer aided dispatch (CAD)
system replacement; $8.5 million for matching funds relate to the Bonnie Brae and Mayhill road
projects; and $200,000 for a new fuel truck for Fleet Management.
Several capital projects will be revenue funded in FY 2016-17. The Technology Services Fund
will utilize $450,000 for software and equipment; the Fleet Management Fund will utilize
$140,000 for facility improvements and land acquisition; the Materials Management Fund will
utilize $300,000 for facility improvements; and General Government will continue to utilize
$200,000 for bike lanes.
CIP IMPACT UPON OPE RATING BUDGETS
When certain types of capital projects are developed and completed, they have ongoing financial
impacts upon the City's operating budgets. These impacts may be in the form of personnel costs,
or operating costs such as maintenance, supplies, electricity, fuel, janitorial services etc. and new
program costs. Typically, replacement capital projects do not have an immediate operating impact
on the City's current or future budgets if they are replacing an existing asset.
Capital projects that impacted the FY 2016-2017 operating budget include the Wave Pool and
Concession Stand requiring 13.6 new FTE's, equipment, supplies, and services required to operate
the new wave pool and permanent concession stand at Water Works Park ($608,076). The higher
operating expenses will be offset by the projected revenue increase from the growth in attendance
generated by addition of the new Wave Pool.

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents the City's plan for infrastructure and equipment funding. The
CIP is reviewed each year to reflect changing priorities, as well as to assess the impact of capital projects on
operating budgets and for project scheduling and coordination.
The CIP budget appropriates all available programmed funds, planned funding from other sources, and planned
issuances of new General Obligation Bonds (GOs), Certificates of Obligation (COs) and Revenue Bonds (RBs).
Available programmed funds include unspent bond proceeds, internal revenue transfers and outside contributions.
Internal revenue transfers and outside contributions comprise the bulk of planned other funding. Provided below is
a summary of the total FY 2016-17 CIP budget Further CIP detail for planned issuances is provided in the following
pages for each division.

CIP includes the cash funding of projects for the materials management, technology, fleet services,
new and replacement vehicles/equipment. The decision to propose and ultimately build any
capital project must consider the impact that the capital project will have on the operating budget.

Budget and Financial Polices
The City of Denton's Budget and Financial Policies set forth the basic framework for the fiscal
management of the City. These policies were developed within the parameters established by
applicable state and federal regulations, City Charter, applicable ordinance requirements, adopted
policy and adopted strategies. The following is a summary of the Budget and Financial Polices.
Establishment of Fiscal Year - The City of Denton's fiscal year shall begin on October 1 and end on
September 30.
Term of Appropriations - "All appropriations that have not been expended or lawfully encumbered
shall lapse at the end of the budget year." (Charter Section 8.06)
Determining Council Priorities - "The budget shall provide a complete financial plan for the fiscal
year, and the budget shall be prepared on the basis of policy priorities defined by the Council for the
City Manager at least one hundred twenty (120) days before the end of the fiscal year." (Charter
Section 8.03)
Budget Prepared from Departmental Requests - The City of Denton departments shall prepare
budgetary decision packages in a manner directed by the City Manager. Department directors shall
indicate funding priorities.
Deadline for Budget Submission - "Within the time period required by law, the City Manager shall
submit to the Council a proposed budget for the ensuing fiscal year." (Charter Section 8.03)
Public Hearing on Budget - "The Council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed budget. Any
taxpayer of the municipality may attend and may participate in the hearing, which shall be set for a
date after the fifteenth day after the date the proposed budget is filled with the City Secretary but
before the date the City Council makes its tax levy. The Council shall provide for public notice of the
date, time, and location of the hearing. In addition to this notice, the City Council shall publish notice
before the public hearing related to the budget in at least one newspaper of general circulation in
Denton County. This notice shall be published no earlier than the thirtieth or later than the tenth day
before the date of the public hearing. The City Council shall provide such other notice as may be
required by state and all other applicable law. The City Council may make such changes in the budget
that it considers warranted by the law or by the best interests of the municipal taxpayers and may
increase or decrease the items of the budget, provided the total proposed expenditures shall not
exceed the total anticipated revenue." (Charter Section 8.04)
Truth in Taxation - Budget development procedures will be in conformance with the state law
outlined in the Truth in Taxation process. In the event of a tax increase, notices will be provided and
public hearings held in conformance to this State law.
Adoption of the Budget - "The budget shall be finally adopted by the favorable votes of at least a
majority of all members of the Council after the conclusion of the public hearing. Should the Council
take no final action at the conclusion of the public hearing and before the end of the fiscal year, the
budget as submitted by the City Manager shall be deemed to have been finally adopted by the
Council." (Charter Section 8.05)
Budget, a Public Record - The budget, budget message, and all supporting schedules shall be a
public record in the office of the City Secretary open to public inspection. The City Manager shall
prepare sufficient copies of the budget and budget message for distribution to interested persons.
Balanced Budget Required - The City of Denton will develop balanced budgets in which current
resources (current revenues plus fund balance) will equal or exceed current expenditures. The City
will avoid budgetary procedures that balance the budget at the expense of meeting future years'
expenses, such as: postponing expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or rolling over short-
term debt. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance and replacement of capital plant and
equipment.
Funding of Current Expenditures with Current Revenues - The budget will assure that current
expenditures are funded with current revenues. Current operating expenses will not be capitalized
or funded through the use of long-term debt.
Use of Non -Recurring Resources - The City of Denton will use non-recurring resources to fund non-
recurring expenditures.
Performance Measures - The budget, where possible, will utilize performance measures based on
the City's adopted Strategic Plan.
Departmental Budget Reporting- Regular monthly reporting on budgetary status will be provided
by departments. The reporting will be structured to provide projected balances for the end of the
year
Return on Investment - The Utilities shall transfer to the General Fund a return on investment based
upon three and one-half percent (3.5%) of utility revenues. The maximum amount to be transferred
will not exceed six percent (6%) of equity in the Electric, Water and Wastewater Utility. Equity is
assets net of accumulated depreciation, less the book value of any contributed capital.
Revenue Goal - The City will try to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it
from short -run fluctuations in any one -revenue source.
Development of Revenue Projection - The City will estimate its annual revenues using an objective,
analytical process. The City will project revenues for the next two years and five years; and these
projections will be updated annually. Each existing and potential revenue source will be examined
annually.
User Charges and Fees Required - User charges and fees will be established at a level related to the
cost of providing the services. The City will recalculate a full cost of activities supported by user fees
to identify the impact of inflation and other cost increases. The City may revise user fees when
necessary to adjust for the effects of inflation, program changes, and policy changes.
For Enterprise Funds, the City shall establish user fees and charges that fully support the total direct
and indirect cost of the activity. Indirect costs include the cost of administration borne by other
operating funds.
For programs within the General Fund, the City shall establish and maintain fees for those cost
activities to be supported by the user. For each supported activity, the City shall establish the level of
support necessary.
Tax Collection - The City will follow an aggressive policy of collecting property tax revenues.
Tax Assessment - The City will monitor the appraisal procedures of the Denton Central Appraisal
District and provide necessary input to assure that sound appraisal procedures are maintained.

Minimum Unassigned Fund Balance - It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain a minimum
unassigned fund balance in the general fund equal to 20% of budgeted expenditures. An additional
5% resiliency reserve (25% combined total) may be maintained to safeguard against unusual
financial circumstances or economic downturns.
Non-governmental Fund Balances - The fund balance categories discussed above do not apply to
proprietary funds according to GAS13 54. While not required by the GAS13, the City recognizes the
need to apply a minimum balance policy to the proprietary funds maintained by the City. Therefore,
the City shall maintain a minimum ending working capital balance (current assets minus current
liabilities) of at least eight percent (8%) of budgeted expenditures for each of the proprietary funds.
If the working capital level should fall below the desired minimum, the City will implement necessary
corrective action within a five-year plan to restore the working capital balance to 8% of budgeted
expenditures.
Additionally, the Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste funds, operating reserves are also
established according to the unique operational aspects of each utility. Factors that affect the target
operating reserve levels include revenue stability, expense and demand volatility, infrastructure age,
debt levels, and management plans or the use of the operating reserve funds. The operating reserve
levels are intended to minimize the fluctuation in rates due to unforeseen revenue and expenditure
variances. The operating reserve level is established at a range of 8% - 12% of expenses for the
Electric Fund, at a range of 20% - 31% of expenses for the Wastewater Fund, at a range of 25% - 42%
of expenses for the Water Fund, and at a range of 6% - 10% of expenses for the Solid Waste Fund. If
the operating reserve balance falls below the desired minimum of the range, the City will implement
necessary corrective action within a five-year plan to restore the rate reserve balances to the levels
outlined above.
Transfer of Appropriations - "At any time during the fiscal year, the City Manager may transfer any
part of the unencumbered appropriation balance or the entire balance thereof between programs or
general classifications of expenditures within an office, department, agency, or organizational unit.
At any time during the fiscal year, at the request of the City Manager, the Council may, by resolution,
transfer any part of the unencumbered appropriation balance or the entire balance thereof from one
office, department, agency, or organizational unit to another." (Charter Section 8.07)

vote of at least five (5) members of the Council, in accordance with applicable law." (Charter Section
8.08)

for an office, department, agency, or organizational unit.
Funds Requiring Appropriations Established by Ordinance - In accordance with generally
accepted accounting practices, an appropriations ordinance shall create appropriations for
Government Funds. These funds include the General Fund. The remaining funds shall have budgets
prepared and submitted to the City Council for approval.
(Amended November 1, 2016 by Resolution No. 2016-037)
Investment Objectives and Strategies - It is the policy of the City of Denton that, given due regard
to the safety and risk of investments, all available funds shall be invested in conformance with state
and federal regulations, applicable bond ordinance requirements, adopted Investment Policy and
adopted investment strategies.
In accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act, the following prioritized objectives (in order of
importance) in accordance with the Tex. Gov't. Code Sec. 2256.005(d) apply for each of the City's
investment strategies:
1. Suitability - Understanding the suitability of the investment to the financial requirements of
the City is important. Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for all City
funds.
2. Safety - Preservation and safety of principal are the primary objectives of the Investment
Policy. All investments shall be in high quality securities with no perceived default risk.
3. Liquidity - The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet operating
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity shall be achieved by matching
investment maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements and by investing in securities
with active secondary markets. Short-term investment pools and money market mutual
funds provide daily liquidity and may be utilized as a competitive investment alternative to
fixed income instruments.
4. Marketability - Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are necessary in the
event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market "spreads" between the bid
and offer prices of a particular security type of less than a quarter of a percentage point shall
define an efficient secondary market
S. Diversification - Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget cycle to
provide cash flow based on the anticipated needs of the City. Diversifying the appropriate
maturity structure will reduce market cycle risk.
6. Yield - Attaining a competitive market yield, commensurate with the City's investment risk
constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, is the desired objective. The
goal of the City's investment portfolio is to regularly meet or exceed the average rate of return
on U.S. Treasury Bills at a maturity level comparable to the portfolio's weighted average
maturity in days. The yield of an equally weighted, rolling twelve month moving average of
a one year U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio shall be the minimum yield objective or "benchmark"
One-year U.S. Treasury Bill information is derived from the Federal Reserve Statistical
Release HAS for constant maturities. A secondary objective will be to obtain a yield equal to
or in excess of a local government investment pool or money market mutual fund.
The first measure of success in this area will be the attainment of enough income to offset
inflationary increases. Although steps will be taken to obtain this goal, the City's staff will
follow the "Prudent Person" statement relating to the standard of care that must be exercised
when investing public funds as expressed in the Tex. Gov't. Code Sec. 2256.006(a -b). The
Investment Officers shall avoid any transactions that might impair public confidence in the
City's ability to govern effectively. The governing body recognizes that in adequately
diversifying the maturity structure within the portfolio to meet the City's expenditure needs,
occasional measured unrealized losses due to market volatility and rising interest rates are
inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment
return. The prudence of the investment decisions shall be measured in accordance with the
tests set forth in the Tex. Gov't. Code Sec. 2256.006(b).
Investment Strategy for Specific Fund Groups.
In order to better diversify, maximize interest earnings and otherwise meet stated objectives, fund
groups may be combined into one or more internal investment pools. Although fund monies may be
combined into a single asset portfolio, proportional fund ownership will be accounted for separately.
The City also maintains separate portfolios for some individual funds or groups of funds that are
managed in accordance with the terms of this Policy and by the corresponding investment strategies
listed below:
1. Investment Pool Strategy - The City's Investment Pool is an aggregation of the majority of City
Funds which includes tax receipts, enterprise fund revenues, fine and fee revenues, as well as
some, but not necessarily all, bond proceeds, grants, gifts and endowments. This portfolio is
maintained to meet anticipated daily cash needs for the City's operations, capital projects and
debt service. In order to ensure the ability of the City to meet obligations and to minimize
potential liquidation losses, the dollar -weighted average stated maturity of the investment
pool shall not exceed 1.5 years or 550 days. The objectives of the portfolio are to:
a. Ensure safety of principal by investing in only high quality securities for which a
strong secondary market exists.
b. Ensure that anticipated cash flow needs are matched with adequate investment
liquidity.
c. Limit market and credit risk through diversification.
d. Attain the best feasible yield commensurate with objectives and restrictions set forth
in the Investment Policy actively managing the portfolio to meet or exceed the twelve
month moving average yield on a one year U.S. Treasury Bill as derived from the
Federal Reserve Statistical Release HAS for constant maturities.
2. Bond Funds Strategy - Occasionally, separate non -pooled portfolios are established with the
proceeds from bond sales in order to maximize earnings within the constraints of arbitrage
regulation. The objectives of the portfolios are to:
a. Ensure safety and principal by investing in only high quality securities for which a
strong secondary market exists.
b. Ensure that anticipated cash flow needs are matched with adequate investment
liquidity.
c. Limit market and credit risk through diversification.
d. Attain the best feasible yield commensurate with the objectives and restrictions set
forth in the Investment Policy and bond ordinance by actively managing the portfolio
to meet or exceed the bond yield.
3. Endowment Fund Strategy - Funds received as gifts to the City with instructions that the
income generated by the investment of said funds be used for specific purposes are invested
as separate non -pooled portfolios in order to maximize return. The objectives of the portfolio
are to:
a. Ensure safety and principal by investing in only high quality securities for which a
strong secondary market exists.
b. Ensure that anticipated cash flow needs are matched with adequate investment
liquidity.
c. Limit market and credit risk through diversification.
d. Attain the best feasible yield commensurate with the objectives and restrictions set
forth in the Investment Policy.
4. Trust, Escrowed Funds & Security Deposit Strategy -Funds that are held outside the City by a
trust, escrow agent, or as a security deposit, but belonging to the City are governed by their
respective trust, escrow, or security deposit agreement and are subject to the provisions of
the Investment Policy. The objectives of the portfolios are to:
a. Ensure safety and principal by investing in only high quality securities for which a
strong secondary market exists.
b. Ensure that anticipated cash flow needs are matched with adequate investment
liquidity.
c. Limit market and credit risk through diversification.
d. Attain the best feasible yield commensurate with the objectives and restrictions set
forth in the Investment Policy and the trust, escrow or security deposit agreement.

coverage ratio of at least 1.25 on all outstanding revenue bonds and other indebtedness of the Utility
System. The City will strive to further maintain this debt service coverage ratio for each separate
utility.
Types of Debt - The City's bond counsel and financial advisor will present the different types of debt
best suited and legally permissible under state law for each debt issue and assist in analyzing the use
