AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the FY 2016-17 Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report and annual audit.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City hires an independent accounting firm to conduct an audit of the City's basic financial
statements. The purpose of the audit is to express an opinion as to whether the City's financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City. The annual audit report is
comprised of four major components: 1) the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), 2)
Management Letter (when appropriate), 3) Single Audit, and 4) Auditor's Communication to the Audit
Committee.
The CAFR represents the entire financial position of the City, specifically for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2017. The document includes the independent auditor's opinion of management's
representations within the annual report. The auditors have provided the City a clean opinion (unmodified),
which means that in the opinion of Pattillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P., the City's financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City. A clean or unmodified opinion is the best
opinion that may be rendered in an audit of the financial statements. The audit specifically included the
following items:
• Audit of the City's CAFR in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
• Performance of a Single Audit, which is an audit of the City's expenditures of State and Federal
grant awards.
• An evaluation of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
The auditor's examination of internal controls was conducted at a level sufficient to gain an understanding
of the internal control structure to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures. The auditors
did not perform an audit of internal controls, but performed limited tests of internal controls for the purpose
of providing an opinion on the financial statements. Additionally, the auditors examined, on a test basis,
evidence supporting amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The City did not
receive a management letter as there were no material weaknesses or recommendations for strengthening
controls identified.
The following points are highlighted as key financial information from the CAFR:
Overall positive financial results.
2. Unassigned General Fund balance
$31.8 million
26.7 % of FY 2016-17 final budgeted expenditures
$3,700,290 increase from prior year.
Net Unrestricted Position of Enterprise Funds (Utilities and Airport)
$136.4 million
$3.6 million decrease from prior year.
Representatives from Pattillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P., will be present at the City Council meeting to provide
their opinion and to answer any questions that you may have. The City's Audit/Finance Committee is
scheduled to review and discuss this item in a meeting prior to the Council's Work Session.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

215 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 •(940) 349-8531
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Denton
Denton, Texas
It is with great pleasure that we present to you a copy of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of
the City of Denton (the City) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The purpose of the report is to provide
the City Council, management, citizens, and other interested parties with detailed information concerning the
City's financial condition.
THE REPORT
The Texas Local Government Code (§ 103.001) requires an annual audit for municipalities. In addition, the City
Charter (Section 2.13) requires a Certified Public Accountant who, as of the end of the fiscal year, shall make an
"independent audit of accounts" and prepare a report to the City Council and the City Manager. This document
fulfills the above mentioned requirements, and the independent auditor's opinion is included in the report for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
The CAFR is presented in three main sections: Introductory, Financial, and Statistical. The Introductory Section
includes this transmittal letter, the City's organizational chart, and a list of principal officials. The Financial
Section includes the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), Basic Financial Statements, Required
Supplementary Information, Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements, along with the independent
auditors' report. The Statistical Section and Other Supplementary Information include selected financial and
demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis.
The responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented information and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation of the data, including all disclosures, rests with the City, and is based upon a comprehensive
framework of internal control established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed
anticipated benefits, the obj ective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance the financial statements
are free of any material misstatements. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in
all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to fairly present the results of our operations in each of
the various funds reported by the City. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of
the City's financial activities have been included.
The accounting firm of Pattillo, Brown & Hill L.L.P. has issued an unmodified opinion on the City of Denton's
financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017. As a recipient of federal and state grant awards, a
separate audit is prepared to meet the requirements of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and related
Uniform Guidance. As a part of the City's single audit, tests are conducted to determine that the City has complied
with applicable laws and regulations related to federal awards.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors' report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

After property t� revenues, the second largest source of revenue in the General Fund is sales t�. Representing
appro�mately 33% of overall revenue in the General Fund, sales tax is a significant revenue source that is
dependent upon a variety of economic factors. For FY 2016-17, total sales tax revenues equaled $36,841,137,

indicators of continued growth in the City's property tax base and sales tax collections. The City of Denton's not

2017 which is a 02 decrease from 2016. The City of Denton has issued 927 new residential and commercial
building permits for calendar year 2017, with an estimated value of $515 million on all 2017 permits. This

value of $388 million.

Fiscal year 2016-17 brought exciting news in economic development. Listed below are just a few of the
highlights:
The Rayzor Ranch mixed-use development is located on both the north and south sides of US Highway
380 in Denton. Rayzor Ranch Marketplace, on the north side of the development, has constructed over
400,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. Sam's Club and Wal-Mart anchor the Market Place
with 137,381 and 189,929 square feet, respectively. The southern portion of this development continues
to expand with new tenants under construction such as Alamo Drafthouse, Rooms To Go, Andy B's
Entertainment and Bowling Center, Cheddars Scratch Kitchen and Zoes Kitchen. These new tenants join
WinCo Foods, Chili's, Raising Canes, Chipotle, Firehouse Subs, Sleep Number Beds, Luxe Nail Salon
and In-N-Out Burger. These new and e�sting tenants join with the Embassy Suites Hotel and convention
center described in more detail in the next paragraph.
• O'Reilly Hotel Partners Denton (OHPD) opened the 70,000-square-foot convention center, 300-room
Embassy Suites Hotel, and Houlihan's restaurant project in January, 2018. As a major anchor for the
Rayzor Ranch Town Center, the project will capitalize on the planned shopping, entertainment, and
restaurants located nearby. The privately managed convention center is expected to expand the City's
convention business and overall tourism industry.
• The City's airport is expanding by adding a 5,000 foot long, 75-foot wide second runaway. This project
is funded by the City and a grant by the Texas Department of Transportation — Aviation Division. The
runway is expected to begin construction in April, 2018 and be completed in nine months. This will
significantly expand the capacity of the Denton airport which is currently the seventh busiest airport in
Texas and the number one general aviation airport in the state.
The North Central Texas College (NCTC) is moving forward with plans to open a new campus location
in downtown Denton. The planned facility would be appro�mately 45,000 square feet with classrooms
for 2,500 students. The plans also include a four-story parking garage with 350 spaces. NCTC has a
partnership with the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University that allows students to
transfer without losing credits and also gives student the opportunity to be concurrently enrolled at all
three institutions.
The City has entered into a new and exciting agreement for management of Stoke, Denton's coworking
space housed in a downtown transit-oriented mixed use development. Stoke is an economic development
project of the City of Denton which is designed to support local entrepreneurship and technological
innovation. The new manager is Hickory & Rail Ventures, LLC run by a local Denton entrepreneur who
also cofounded a satellite software company. The new management company has partnerships with the
University of North Texas as well as investor networks for local entrepreneurs.
• WinCo Foods, an employee owned supermarket company with stores in eight states in the western U.S.,
has constructed and occupied an 850,000-square-foot regional distribution facility in Denton's Westpark
Industrial Park This facility employs approximately 165 employees and has an annual payroll of about
$72 million.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING

accomplishments, and other key initiatives. The document also includes the long-term financial forecasts for each

Iv
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City of Denton maintains reserve balances for emergencies. In the General Fund, the target reserve level is a
minimum of 20% of budgeted expenditures with an additional 5% resiliency reserve for a combined total of 25%
to provide stability and flexibility for the organization. The actual reserve level has exceeded this target for the
current fiscal year. As described in the accompanying CAFR document, the unassigned fund balance is $31.8
million, or 26.7%, of the budgeted General Fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
Beginning in FY 2011-12, the City adopted a policy which requires a minimum ending working capital balance
(current assets minus current liabilities) of at least 8% of budgeted expenditures for the Electric, Water,
Wastewater and Solid Waste Funds. If the working capital level should fall below the desired minimum, the City
will implement necessary corrective action with a five-year plan to restore the working capital balance to 8% of
budgeted expenditures.
Additionally, rate reserve levels were established for the Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Funds in
FY 2011-12 according to the unique operational aspects of each utility. The rate reserve levels were most recently
revised in FY 2015-16 based on the factors of revenue stability, expense and demand volatility, infrastructure
age, debt levels and management plans for the use of these reserves. The rate reserve level is established at a
range of 8% to 12% of expenses for the Electric Fund, at a range of 20% to 31% of expenses for the Wastewater
Fund, at a range of 25% to 42% of expenses for the Water Fund, and at a range of 6% to 10% of expenses for the
Solid Waste Fund. If the rate reserve level falls below the range, the City will implement necessary corrective
action within a five-year plan to restore the balances to the levels outlined above.
The City of Denton has adopted an Investment Policy which guides the investment of all City funds. In accordance
with State law, the policy is reviewed annually by the City Council to ensure that public funds are being invested
in a conservative and prudent fashion. In addition, the City also annually reviews and approves a Debt
Management policy. The purpose of this policy is to provide general guidelines regarding the issuance of City
debt and the use and limitation of such debt. The City complied with all aspects of the Investment and Debt
Management policies during FY 2016-17.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
In FY 2016-17, the City continued to emphasize street maintenance and repair activities as funding in the Street
Improvement Fund was increased by $1,850,360. This additional funding was 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. 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 included $2,641,808 in funding enhancements for public safety programs. These enhancements
included the funding of a new medic unit (six new personnel) at Fire Station 8, breathing apparatus replacements
and a Fire Training Captain position. Funding was also 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.
Employee compensation remained a continuing priority for FY 2016-17 with an average 3% merit increase
provided to all employees along with eligible step increases for all police and fire civil service personnel. Another
major funding priority was $813,045 of one-time capital expenditures from the Traffic Safety Fund. These
expenditures included 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.
v
AWARDS AND ACKOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers' Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2016, for the thirty second consecutive year. In order to be awarded the Certificate of Achievement
in Financial Reporting, the City mustpublish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report. This report satisfies both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal
requirements. The Certificate of Achievement is held for a period of one year only. We believe our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement requirements, and we
are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The City also received the GFOA award for Distinguished Budget Presentation for its fiscal year 2016-17 Annual
Budget for the thirty first consecutive year. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award,
the City's budget document was judged according to its compliance with specific guidelines established by
GFOA. These guidelines help ensure that Denton's budget is distinguished as an operations guide, financial plan,
policy document, and communications device. The City has submitted its fiscal year 2017-18 Annual Budget to
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. We believe it continues to meet the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award criteria.
In 2017, the City's Purchasing Department earned the Excellence in Procurement Award from the National
Purchasing Institute, Inc. (NPI) for the nineteenth year in a row. This award is achieved by those organizations
that demonstrate excellence in procurement by achieving a high score on standardized criteria designed to
measure innovation, professionalism, productivity, and leadership. NPI represents purchasing officials employed
by national, state, and local governments; educational institutions; and t�-supported and public entities
throughout the country.
We would like to thank the City Council for their strong leadership and support that helped make the presentation
of this report possible. We would also like to thank the City Manager, Finance staff, department directors, division
heads and especially the Accounting Division staff for their diligent efforts in the preparation of the annual
financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Denton, Texas
Report on the Financiai Statements
We ha�e audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Denton, Texas, as of and
for the year ended September 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City of Denton, Texas' basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The City of Denton, Texas' management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govern�nent Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.

��J�i�l�l� ���i'��P°
We believe that the audit evidence we ha�e obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Denton, Texas, as of September 30, 2017, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison
for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supple�nentary Infor�nation
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, schedules of changes in net pension liability and related ratios, schedules of
contributions, and the schedule of funding progress for the post-employment benefits plan be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements,
is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
We ha�e applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during
our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Other Infor�nation
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Denton, Texas' basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and
individual fund financial statements and schedules, capital assets schedules, and the statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and the capital assets schedules are
the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and the capital assets schedules are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections ha�e not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
The Management's Discussion and Analysis is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant
financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the City's financial activity, (c) identify changes in the City's
financial position (its ability to address the next and subsequent years' challenges), (d) identify any material
deviations from the financial plan (the approved budget), and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns.
Since the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to focus on the current year's activities,
resulting changes and currently known facts, please read it in conjunction with the Transmittal Letter (beginning
on page i) and the City's financial statements (beginning on page 15).
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 by
$832,938,794 (netposition). Ofthis amount, $138,682,191 (unrestricted netposition) may be used to meet
the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City's total net position on the statement of net position increased by $57,055,549 in fiscal year 2017.
• As of September 30, 2017, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $141,964,748,
an increase of $17,214,949 in comparison with the prior fiscal year. Compared to the prior year, revenues
were higher by $162 million due primarily to higher property t� of $5.5 million, sales t� of $42 million,
franchise fees of $1.6 million, intergovernmental revenues of $4.4 million, investment revenue of $03
million, and miscellaneous revenue of $1.0 million. The higherrevenues were offsetby lower fees for service
of $0.5 million, and fines and forfeitures of $0.4 million. Expenditures reflect higher costs for public safety
of $2.1 million, higher costs for general government of $03 million, higher costs for parks and recreation of
$02 million, higher cost forpublic works expenses of $43 million, and higher capital expenditures of $132
million. Total expenditures of the City's combined governmental funds are $20.6 million higher than the
prior year. New proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt added $33.4 million in new funding. Net
transfers decreased by $0.7 million, from $1.6 million in fiscal year 2016, to $0.9 million in fiscal year 2017.
Approximately 203% of the $141,964,748, or $28,828,396, is a�ailable for spending at the government's
discretion (unassigned fund balance)
The City's total noncurrent liabilities, including other noncurrent liabilities, increased by $301,101,497
during the fiscal year. The primary reasons for the changes are the issuance of $29.1 million of general
obligation refunding and improvement bonds, $90.8 million of certificates of obligation, and the issuance of
$214.9 million of utility revenue bonds, offset by the normal pay down of general obligation bonds and
certificates of obligation of $46.0 million. The general obligation refunding bonds refunded $13.0 million
of general obligation bonds. In addition to issuance and pay down of debt, the City's total noncurrent
liabilities for pensions decreased by $1.5 million while other post-employment benefit obligations increased
by $2.7 million. Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in note N. G. on pages
53 - 57 of this report.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Denton's basic
financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: (1) government-
wide financial statements, (2) fund financial statements and (3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financiai Statements. The government-wide fmancial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the City's finances in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets, liabilities, deferred inflows, and
deferred outflows with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash
is received or paid. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but not used vacation lea�e). Both
the statement of net position and the statement of activities are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting as
opposed to the modified accrual basis.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, the City is divided between two kinds of
activitie s:
Governmentai activities. Most of the City's basic services are reported here, including police, fire,
libraries, development, public services and operations, public works, building inspection, technology
services and general administration. Property t�es, sales t�es, and franchise fees finance most of these
activities.
. Business-type activities. The City charges a fee to customers to cover the cost of services it provides. The
City's utility systems (electric, water and wastewater), solid waste, and airport activities are reported here.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 15 - 17 of the report.
Fund Financiai Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources
that ha�e been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund financial statements provide detailed
information about the most significant funds, not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established
by state law or bond covenants. However, the City Council establishes many other funds to help it control and
manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain t�es,
grants and other monies. The below illustration summarizes the major features the City's financial statements.

All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and
fiduciary funds.
• Governmentai funds. The majority ofthe City's basic services are reported in governmental funds, which
focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are a�ailable for
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method identified as the modified accrual basis of
accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The
governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general government
operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps the reader determine
whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's
programs. By comparing information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. The relationship or differences
between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities)
and governmental funds are detailed in a reconciliation following the fund financial statements.
The City of Denton maintains twelve governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service fund and capital projects fund, all of which are
considered to be major funds. Data from the other nine governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for eight of these non-major governmental funds, along with
an aggregate of all other governmental funds, is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in
this report.
Proprietary funds. The City charges customers for certain services it provides, whether to outside
customers or to other units within the City. These services are generally reported in proprietary funds.
Proprietary funds are reported in the same manner that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net
Position and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City's enterprise funds (a component of proprietary
funds) are similar to the business-type activities that are reported in the government-wide statements but
provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows. The internal service funds (the other
component of proprietary funds) are utilized to report activities that provide supplies and services for the
City's other programs and activities, such as the City's municipal warehouse, the City's self-insurance fund,
and the City's equipment maintenance function. Because these services benefit both governmental and
business-type functions, they have been included in both the governmental and business-type activities in
the government-wide financial statements.
The City of Denton maintains five enterprise funds. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its electric,
water, wastewater, solid waste, and airport operations. The funds provide the same type of information as
the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail and include the internal service fund-type
activity. The City considers all enterprise funds to be major funds.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. Agency funds are a component of fiduciary
funds. Agency funds differ from other fiduciary funds in that they do not typically involve a formal trust
agreement. Agency funds are used to account for situations where the City's role is purely custodial, such
as receipt, temporary investment and remittance of fiduciary resources to individuals, private organizations,
or other governments.
The City maintains one fiduciary fund, an agency fund. The City uses agency funds to account for the
collection and payment of property and evidence, temporary developer holdings and other similar
relationships.
Notes to the financiai statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found on pages 33 - 78 of this report.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As of September 30, 2017, the City's combined net position were $832,938,794, of which $173,429,494 can be
attributed to governmental activities and $659,509,300 attributed to business-type activities. This analysis
focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the City's governmental and
business-type activities.
The largestportion ofthe City's netposition (802%) reflects its investmentin capital assets (e.g., land, building,
machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City
uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not a�ailable for future
spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted
that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmentai funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of resources a�ailable to spend. Such information is useful in assessing the City's
financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As ofthe end ofthe current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance
of $142.0 million, an increase of $172 million in comparison with the prior year. Approximately $28.8 million
constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The
remainder of the fund balance has been classified to indicate that it is not a�ailable for new spending because it
has already been classified as restricted ($89.8 million), committed ($8.5 million), and assigned ($14.8 million).
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At September 30, 2017, the unassigned fund balance
of the General Fund was $31.8 million, or 26.7% of budgeted general fund expenditures. The General Fund's
ending fund balance increased by $3.6 million during the current fiscal year. The change in fund balance is due
to expenditures, including other financing uses, of $106.9 million, and revenues, including other financing
sources, of $110.5 million. Revenues were $8.0 million higher compared to the previous year primarily due to
increased t�es of $7.7 million, intergovernmental revenues of $0.1 million, and investment revenue of $0.1
million. The net change in expenditures was $52 million higher as compared to the previous year primarily due
to increased costs related to personal services, operations, and transfers out. The increased personnel costs
accounted for $1.9 million, of which public safety accounted for all of the personnel costs. The increased
operations costs of $1.0 million over the prior year is related to an increase of general government in the amount
lo
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
of $0.7 million, public safety in the amount of $02 million, and public works in the amount of $0.1 million. The
increased transfers out of $0.5 is due to increased transfers to capital projects.
Personnel costs, on a year over year comparison, were higher due to an a�erage merit increase of 3% for non-
civil service employees, a pay adjustment for civil service employees to reach the market a�erage plus 5% and
continued step raises for public safety civil service employees. Additional personnel costs included equity
adjustments for employees whose salary was below the market rate for their positions. During the fiscal year 20
FTE's were added to public safety, and 13.6 FTE's were added to neighborhood and community services in
general government.
At the end of the fiscal year, the capital projects fund has a total fund balance of $89.4 million, an increase of
$142 million. The total fund balance is made up of $74.5 million in restricted funds and $14.8 million in assigned
funds, all for capital construction and acquisition. In 2017, the City received $35.9 million of proceeds from the
issuance of debt and recognized $5.6 million of regional toll revenues from the Texas Department of
Transportation, while expending $36.8 million on construction and acquisition. In addition, the capital projects
fund received $0.6 million in interest income, $0.1 million from the sale of fixed assets and insurance recoveries,
and $9.1 million of transfers from other funding sources. The City also received approximately $5.9 million
more in developer's contributed capital than in the prior year for a total of $9.4 million recorded in the
government-wide financial statements.
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $5.4 million, all of which is restricted for the payment of debt
service. As compared with the prior year results, the overall increase in the debt service fund balance of $0.5
million resulted from an increase of $2.0 million in tax revenue offset by an increase of $1.5 million in principal
and interest costs. Additional amounts include a reduction from the prior year of a$1.5 million of premiums on
debt issuance, a reduction of $1.5 million in the refunding bonds issued and the payments to refunded bond
escrow agent, and a reduction of transfers in by $0.1 million.
Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-
wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position at September 30, 2017 in proprietary funds are $47.8 million for Electric, $44.9 million
for Water, $38.0 million for Wastewater, $2.8 million for Solid Waste, and $2.9 million for the Airport Fund.
The results reflect an decrease of the unrestricted net position in the Electric Fund of $15.0 million, while
increases were reflected in the Water fund of $4.7 million, the Wastewater fund of $6.0 million, the Solid Waste
fund of $0.6 million, and a the Airport fund of $0.1 million. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds
have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of Denton's business-type activities.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During fiscal year 2017, three formal amendments to adjust the City's of Denton Annual Program of Services
was approved by Council for the General Fund. Council approved funding to provide for additional
improvements, equipment and other expenses. The additional funds increased the General Fund by $4.6 million,
the Electric Fund for higher power purchase costs by $13.0 million, the Downtown Reinvestment Fund and the
Library Donation Fund by $20,000 each, and the Tourist and Convention Fund by $02 million.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO ACTUAL HIGHLIGHT
For fiscal year 2017, General Fund actual expenditures (including transfers) on a budgetary basis were $1152
million compared to the final budget of $119.0 million. The $3.8 million positive expenditure variance was
primarily due to reduced costs of $2.7 million in personnel, $03 million in materials, $0.1 in maintenance and
$0.7 million in insurance costs.

Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds. Includes capital assets
of internal service funds.
Certain receivables will be collected next year but are not available soon enough
to pay for the current period's expenditures and therefore are reported as
deferred inflows of resources in the funds.
Deferred outflows of resources are not reported in the governmental funds. Includes
deferred outflows of internal service funds:
Deferred loss on refundings � 2,031,132
Deferred pension balances 15,828,861
Deferred pension contributions 8,679,953
An internal charge to business-type activities is not recorded at the fund level.
Several internal service funds are used by the City's management to charge the
costs of certain activities, such as insurance and fleet management, to individual
funds. The assets, liabilities, deferred outflows, and deferred inflows of the internal
service funds are included with governmental activities. Internal service fund
balances not included in other reconciling items listed above or below:
Current assets
Liabilities
� 26,274,552
(11,759,812)
Long-term balances, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds. Includes balances of
internal service funds. Long-term liabilities and related balances at year-end consist of:

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT
OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (Exhibit V)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which capital outlay (�38,191,803) is different from depreciation and
retirement of assets (�16,057,592 =�18,682,334 total governmental minus
�2,624,742 internal service portion) in the current period.
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. Such amounts are
recorded in the funds when considered available.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e., sales, trade-ins and donations) is to increase net position.
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but
issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds,
but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net
position. This is the amount by which payments exceeded proceeds.
Fund-level financials report costs related to bonds as expenditures; however,
these are deferred and amortized on the government-wide financials.
Certain expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use
of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures
in governmental funds.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as insurance and technology services, to individual funds.
A portion of the net revenue (expense) of certain internal service funds is
reported with governmental activities. The amount reported with
business-type activities is �2,464,337.

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Denton is a municipal corporation governed by an elected seven-member council consisting of a
mayor elected at large and six councilpersons, four representing specific geographical districts and two
elected at large. The City receives funding from state and federal government sources and must comply with
the requirements of these funding source entities. However, the City is not included in any other governmental
"reporting entity," as defined in pronouncements by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB),
as council members are elected by the public and ha�e decision-making authority, the authority to levy t�es,
the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, and primary
accountability for fiscal matters.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared to conform to accounting principles generally
accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America as applicable to state and local governments. Generally
accepted accounting principles for local governments include principles prescribed by GASB, the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The
following is a summary of the more significant policies.
A. Reporting entity
An elected seven-member council consisting of a mayor and six councilpersons govern the City. As required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements
present the City (the primary government) and its component units, which are entities for which the City is
considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in
substance, part of the City's operations, and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary
government. A discretely presented component unit, on the other hand, is reported in a separate column in
the government-wide financial statements to emphasize it is legally separate from the City. The City had no
component units, discretely presented or blended, at September 30, 2017.
B. Government-wide and fund financiai statements
The basic financial statements include both government-wide (based on the City as a whole) and fund
financial statements. The reporting focus is either the City as a whole (government-wide financial statements)
or maj or individual funds (within the fund financial statements). The government-wide financial statements
(i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all non-fiduciary
activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of inter-fund activity has been removed
from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support.
The government-wide statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
functional category (public safety, public works, etc.) or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include
(1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services orprivileges
provided by a given function or segment; (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting operational
requirements of aparticular function or segment; and (3) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting
the capital requirements of a particular function or segment. T�es and other items not properly included
among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
The net cost (by function or business-type activity) is normally covered by general revenue (property t�es,
sales taxes, franchise fees, interest income, etc.).
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major
governmental funds and maj or enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements. GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of assets, liabilities, revenues
or expenditures/expenses of either fund category and for the governmental and enterprise funds combined)
33
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
for the determination of major funds. Non-major funds are combined in a column in the fund financial
statements.
Internal service funds, which traditionally provide services primarily to other funds of the government, are
presented in summary form as part of the proprietary fund financial statements. The financial statements of
internal service funds are allocated (based on the percentage of goods or services provided) between the
governmental and business-type activities when presented at the government-wide level.
The City's fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements. By definition these assets are being
held for the benefit of a third party (other local governments, individuals, etc.) and cannot be used to address
activities or obligations of the government, and as such, these funds are not incorporated into the government-
wide statements.
The government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the City as an entity and the change in aggregate
financial position resulting from the activities of the fiscal period. The focus of the fund financial statements
is on the major individual funds of the governmental and business-type categories, as well as the fiduciary
funds (by category). Each presentation provides valuable information that can be analyzed and compared to
enhance the usefulness of the information.
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financiai statement presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund statements. Revenues are recorded when earned,
and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property
t�es are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized
as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider ha�e been met.
Governmental fund-level fmancial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be a�ailable when they are collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt
service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are
recorded only when payment is due.
Property t�, franchise fees, sales t� and other taxes associated with the current fiscal period are all
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All of the other
revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received.
The City reports the following maj or governmental funds:
The general fund is the City's primary operating fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that
are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund.
From the fund are paid general operating costs, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not
paid through other funds.
The debt service fund accounts for the accumulation of financial resources for the payment of principal,
interest and related costs on general long-term debt, paid primarily by t�es levied by the City. On a
budgetary-basis, the debt service fund also accounts for pass-through debt service payments from the
self-supporting proprietary funds.
The capital projects fund accounts for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of
capital other than those recorded in the enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Other governmental funds are a summarization of all of the non-major governmental funds.

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
The City reports the following maj or proprietary funds:
The City utility system is made up of three separate funds as follows:
The electric fund accounts for electrical utility services to the residents and commercial
establishments of the City. Activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the fund,
including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, finance and related debt
service.
The water fund accounts for water utility services to the residents and commercial establishments of
the City. Activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the fund, including, but
not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, finance and related debt service.
The wastewater fund accounts for sewer and storm water services to the residents and commercial
establishments of the City. Activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the fund,
including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, finance and related debt
service.
The City provides additional services through the following funds:
The solid waste fund accounts for the provision of solid waste services to the residents of the City.
Activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the fund, including, but not limited
to, administration, operations, maintenance, finance and related debt service.
The airport fund accounts for the airport services to the public and is funded through operational and
gas well revenues. Activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the fund,
including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, and finance.
The City additionally reports the following funds:
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of materials and services provided by one
department of the City to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Agency funds are used to account for the payment of developers' escrow funds and other similar
liabilities. The City holds the assets in an agency capacity for individuals, private organizations or other
governments.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with
a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's electric,
water, wastewater, solid waste, and airport funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses
for the enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported
as non-operating revenues and expenses. The City recognizes, as an asset or a liability, the difference between
the electric fund's energy cost adjustment (ECA) revenue collected and related costs.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Budgetary information
The City Council follows these procedures, as prescribed by City Charter, in establishing the budgets reflected
in the financial statements:
1. Within the time period required by law, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed
budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following October 1. The operating budget includes
proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted prior to the adoption of the budget in order to obtain t�payer comments.
35
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
The annual budget adopted by the City Council covers the general fund, non-major special revenue
funds (Recreation Fund, Police Confiscation Fund, Tourist and Convention Fund, Gas Well Revenues
Fund, Street Improvement Fund, and the Citizens' Park Trusts), the debt service fund, the enterprise
funds, and internal service funds. The budget is legally enacted by the City Council through passage
of an ordinance prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The basic financial statements reflect the legal
level of control, (i.e. the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount)
which is established at the total fund level as approved by City Council.
4. The City Charter provides for the City Manager to 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. (The City Council defines an
organizational unit as set forth in Article VIII, Section 8.07 of the City Charter, to be a fund that has
been appropriated by the City Council.) City Council approval is not required up to the fund level. The
Charter also provides that at any time during the year, at the request of the City Manager, City 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, as well as make any
increases in fund appropriations.
Budgets are adopted on a basis for the governmental funds and the budgeted special revenue funds that is
generally consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Budgets for enterprise funds are prepared
on the full accrual basis, except certain noncash transactions such as depreciation expense and amortization
on debt issuance costs where it is not budgeted, and debt service payments where it is budgeted. Also, during
the budgetary process, amounts are included in all fund budgets to recognize administrative transfers between
funds for goods or services. These amounts are not included in the reporting of actual activity for the funds.
For funds reporting required budget-to-actual comparisons, these administrative transfers are included as
adjustments — budgetary basis.
Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they ha�e related encumbrances.
Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services (i.e., purchase orders
and contracts). While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse atyear end, valid outstanding encumbrances
are re-appropriated against the subsequent year's budget, reducing the available appropriations for additional
expenditures.
E. Assets, liabilities and net position or equity
1. Cash, cash equivalents and investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments are
carried at fair value, except for the position in local government investment pools. Fair value is
determined as the price at which two willing parties would complete an exchange.
The City uses a pooled cash and investment fund to hold and account for all of the City's investments.
For financial reporting purposes, the investment balances in the pooled fund are allocated back to the
individual funds based on their respective share of the pooled totaL Interest earned on investments is also
allocated back and recorded directly to the individual funds on a monthly basis.
2. Receivables
Outstanding balances between funds are reported as "interfund receivables/payables." Any residual
balances between governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-
wide statements as "internal balances."
Trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The City
accrues amounts for utility services provided in September, but not billed at September 30, 2017.

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
3. Inventories
Inventories of supplies are maintained at the City warehouse for use by all City funds and are accounted
for by the consumption method. Cost is determined using a moving average method. No inventories exist
in the governmental fund types.
4. Prepaid items
Certain costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items. During the recent
fiscal years the City prepaid certain contractual obligations to the Texas Municipal Power Agency
(TMPA) relating to the cost of TMPA providing energy to the City. The benefit from the prepayment is
being amortized over the benefit period of 15 years, of which 7.5 years is remaining in the electric fund.
5. Other Assets
Certain costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as other assets. During the current
fiscal year the City impaired its TMPA prepaid purchase power due to a change in seasonality generation.
Of the $43,378,333 balance in TMPA prepaid purchase power outstanding as of September 30, 2017, as
part ofthe City's total prepaid balance in the electric fund, $26,930,415 was impaired and recorded as an
Other Asset to be amortized over 7.5 years in the electric fund. See footnote V.E. Agree�nent with TMPA
for further information regarding this change with TMPA.
6. Restricted assets
Certain proceeds of the City's governmental and proprietary fund general obligation bonds and
certificates of obligation, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as
restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Assets
collected from impact fees are limited by state statute in use and also shown as restricted on the balance
sheet of the Water and Wastewater funds.
7. Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks and similar items) are reported in applicable governmental or business-type activities columns
in the government-wide financial statements and in the proprietary fund financial statements. The City
defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful
life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value, which is the price that
would be paid to acquire an asset with equivalent service potential at the acquisition date.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Netinterest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities and enterprise funds is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. For 2017, net interest capitalization of
$6,029,676 was recorded for electric fund projects, $507,809 for water fund projects, $529,779 for
wastewater fund projects, and $183,620 for solid waste fund projects.

8. Com�ensated absences
The City allows full-time employees to accumulate unused vacation up to 320 hours (480 for Civil
Service Fire employees.) Upon termination, any accumulated vacation time will be paid to an employee.
Generally, sick leave is not paid upon termination except for civil service fire fighters and police officers.
Firefighters and police officers accumulate unused sick leave up to a maximum of 1080 hours and 720
hours, respectively. All other employees are paid only upon illness while employed by the City.
Accumulated vacation and sick lea�e is accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary and
fiduciary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only
if they ha�e matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements but have not been
paid this amount at the end of the fiscal year. The General Fund and Other Governmental Funds are used
to record any payout expenditures of the governmental funds' employees and related liability, while
proprietary fund payouts for their employees are recorded as reductions to the liabilities in those funds.
9. Arbitra�e
Arbitrage involves the investment of the proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt bonds in t�able
instruments and securities authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act (Texas Government Code,
Chapter 2256) that yield a higher rate, resulting in interest revenue in excess of interest costs. Federal t�
code requires that these excess earnings be rebated to the federal government. The Capital Projects Fund
has been used in prior years to liquidate governmental funds' related liability.
10. Pensions
For purposes of ineasuring the net pension liability, pension-related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources, and pension expense, information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS) and the Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (FRRF) and additions
to/deductions from TMRS's and the FRRF's Fiduciary Net Position ha�e been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by TMRS and the FRRF. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized
in the period that compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due.
Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
38
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
11. Lon�-term obli at� ions
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized
over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
Gain/loss on refunding are reported as deferred outflow/inflow and recognized as a component of interest
expense over the remaining life of the old debt or life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
12. Fund equity
The City follows GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type
Definitions", and in accordance with the statement, the classifications of governmental fund balances are
presented as follows:
Nonspendable fund balances — includes amounts not in a spendable form or are legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact. Examples include inventory or endowments.
Restricted fund balance — includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers, creditors, grantors, and contributors or through enabling
legislation.
Co�n�nitted fund balance — includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by the City Council through an ordinance and may only be changed or lifted through
another ordinance. The ordinance must either adopt or rescind the commitment, as applicable, prior
to the last day of the fiscal year for which the commitment is made. The amount subject to the
constraint may be determined in the subsequent period.
Assigned fund balance - comprises amounts intended to be used for specific purposes. Intent can
be expressed by the City Council, or per the policy adopted by an ordinance by the City Council,
the City Manager or the City Manager's designee (assistant city manager) may also make an
assignment. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents
the amount that is not restricted or committed and, at a minimum, is intended for the purpose of
that fund.
Unassigned fund balance — is the residual classification of the general fund and includes all
amounts not constrained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically a�ailable
for any purpose. The General Fund is the only fund to report a positive unassigned fund balance
amount. However, other governmental funds may report a negative unassigned fund balance as
necessary if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts restricted, committed,
or assigned for those purposes.
When multiple categories of fund balance are a�ailable for expenditure and approved for use by the City
Council, the City will start with the most restricted category and spend those funds first before moving
down to the next category with a�ailable funds. Normally this would result in the use of restricted, then
committed, then assigned, and lastly, unassigned fund balance.
13. Minimum fund balance policy
It is the goal of the City to achieve and maintain an 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.
39
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
14. Net �osition
Net position represents the difference between assets, deferred inflows, deferred outflows, and liabilities.
Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and the
outstanding balances of any borrowing spent for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those
assets. Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through
the enabling legislation adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors
or laws or regulations of other governments.
15. Deferred outflows and inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows
of resources, represents a consumption of net position applying to a future period and will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources, either expenses or expenditures, until that time. The City reports
the following items qualifying for this category:
• Deferred charges on refunding reported in the statements of net position - A deferred charge on
refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition
price and is amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
• Deferred pension deficit earnings reported in the statement of net position — A deferred charge is
recorded for the difference between actual investment earnings and expected investment earnings
during the period and is amortized over future periods.
• Deferred pension actuarial losses reported in the statement of net position — A deferred charge is
recorded for the difference between actual experience and expected experience during the period
between two actuarial valuations and is amortized over future periods.
• Deferred pension contributions reported in the statement of net position — A deferred charge is
recorded for pension contribution amounts paid by the City after the current year's measurement
date (December 2016) and will be fully recognized in the next period on the next measurement
date (December 2017).
• Deferred pension actuarial assumption changes — A deferred charge is recorded for the difference
due to assumption changes and amortized over future periods.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position applying to a future period and will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources, or revenues, until that time. The City has two types of items
qualifying for reporting in this category:
• Deferred pension excess earnings reported in the statement of net position — A deferred charge is
recorded for the difference between actual investment earnings and expected investment earnings
during the period and is amortized over future periods.
• Deferred pension actuarial gains reported in the statement of net position — A deferred charge is
recorded for the difference between actual experience and expected experience during the period
between two actuarial valuations and is amortized over future periods.
• Deferred pension actuarial assumption changes — A deferred charge is recorded for the difference
due to assumption changes and amortized over future periods.
• Deferred una�ailable revenues reported on the balance sheet of the governmental funds — A
deferred amount is recorded for the billed revenues not yet collected or available. These amounts
are deferred and recognized as inflow of resources in the period the amounts become available.
F. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
40
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses/expenditures during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
IL RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Expianation of certain differences between the governmentai fund statement of revenues, expenditures
and changes in fund balances and the government-wide statement of activities
An element of that reconciliation states, `Bond proceeds provide current fmancial resources to governmental
funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. Repayment of bond
principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the
statement of net position. This is the amount by which payments exceeded proceeds." The details of this
($23,093,982) difference are as follows:
Debt issued or incurred:
Issuance of general obligation debt
Issuance of certificates of obligation
Assumption of Airport debt

fund had a deficit net position of ($1,102,261) due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 68
"Accounting and Financial Reportingfor Pensions-an amendment of GASB StatementNo. 27" which resulted
in a significant increase in the net pension liability.
IV. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Deposits and investments
In order to facilitate effective cash management practices, the operating cash of all funds is pooled into a
common account for the purpose of increasing income through combined investment activities. At year-end,
the City had $84,466,799 in cash and cash equivalents of which $182,026 is included in the agency funds and
$16,179 in petty cash.
The Public Funds Investment Act (Texas Government Code) authorizes the City to invest in obligations of
the U.S. Treasury, U.S. agencies, fully collateralized repurchase agreements, public fund investment pools,
SEGregistered no-load money market mutual funds, municipal securities of any state rated A or better,
certificates of deposit (fully collateralized, insured, and standby letters of credit backed), and commercial
paper rated not less than A-1 or P-1 with a stated maturity of no more than 270 days. The City's investment
policy may further restrict those investment options. The investments reported on September 30, 2017 were
similar to those held during the fiscal year.
The City reports all investments in the financial statements at fair value. At September 30, 2017, the City's
investments carried a fair value of $704,448,006, of which $59,924,172 is in a local governmental investment
pool and $25,000,000 is in an insured cash sweep savings deposit both of which the City classifies in the
financial statements as cash equivalents.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application
establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets a framework for measuring fair value, and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.
42
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets a
government can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, observable for an asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
If a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, a government should measure fair value using
another valuation technique m�imizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs. If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than one
level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input
significant to the entire measurement.
At September 30, 2017, the City had the following recurring fair value investments:

Of the investments recorded at fair value, $279,394,581 used the documented trade history in exact security
pricing model, $15,725,598 used the option-adjusted discounted cash flow pricing model, and $173,403,655
used the present value of expected future cash flow pricing model.
Interest rate risk. In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair
values due to interest rate fluctuations by limiting the weighted a�erage maturity of its investment portfolio
to less than eighteen months.
Credit risk. The City's investment policy limits investments to obligations of the United States of America
and its agencies, investment quality obligations of the State of Texas (including agencies, municipalities,
counties, and other political subdivisions) with a rating not less than AA, Certificates of Deposits and savings
deposits (fully insured, collateralized, or standby letter of credit backed), and commercial paper that has a
maturity of 270 days or less and a minimum rating of A-1, P-1, or an equivalent rating by at least two
nationally recognized rating agencies. The City's investments in the bonds of U.S. agencies were rated AA+
by Standard & Poor's, and the City's investment in TexSTAR were rated "AAAm" by Standard & Poor's.
Custodial credit risk. This is the risk that in the event of a bank or counterparty failure, the City's deposits
may not be returned. The policy states that all bank deposits of City funds shall be secured by pledged
collateral with a market value equal to no less than 102 percent of the principal plus accrued interest less an

amount insured by FDIC. As of September 30, 2017, the bank balance for deposits was $2,133,899 and was
fully collateralized by the City's third party custodian, BNY Mellon.
Concentration of Credit Risk. The City's investment policy minimizes the risk of potential loss by
diversifying investment types according to the following limitations based on value: U.S. Treasury
bills/notes/bonds (100%), U.S. Agencies and Instrumentalities (100%), State of Texas Obligations —
including agencies and local governments (15%), local government investment pools (50% in government
securities and 15% in prime securities), repurchase agreements (20%), certificates of deposit (35%), U.S.
Money Market Mutual Funds (35%), callable U.S. Agencies and Instrumentalities (20%), and commercial

TexSTAR. The Texas Short Term Asset Reserve Program (TexSTAR) is a local government investment pool
organized under the authority of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791, Texas Government Code, and
the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code (PFIA). TEXSTAR was created in
April 2002 by contract among its participating governmental units and is governed by a board of directors.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) and Hilltop Securities Inc. (HTS) serve as co-
administrators. JPMIM provides investment management services, and FirstSouthwest, a division of HTS,
provides participant service and marketing. Custodial, fund accounting, and depository services are provided
by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or its subsidiary J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. Transfer agency
services are provided by Boston Financial Data Services, Inc.
TexSTAR states all investments at amortized cost value. The investment pool has a redemption notice of one
day or same day, which may be redeemed daily. As the redemption period is only one day or less, the City
classifies these balances in the financials as cash equivalent. TexSTAR may only impose restrictions on
redemptions in the event of a general suspension of trading on major securities markets, a general banking
moratorium, or a national state of emergency affecting the pool's liquidity. The City has no unfunded
commitments related to the investment pool.

Property t�es attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January lst. Taxes are levied on October lst
and are due and payable at that time; therefore, the legally enforceable claim arises on October lst. A
receivable is recorded at that time. All unpaid taxes levied October 1 st become delinquent February 1 st of the
following year.
Property t�es at the fund level are recorded as receivables and revenue in the period they become a�ailable.
Current-year revenues recognized are those Ad valorem t�es collected within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay current liabilities, which is sixty days after year-end. All other outstanding
receivables are adjusted from revenue and recognized as deferred inflows of resources for future collections.
Current tax collections for the year ended September 30, 2017 were 99.48% of the t� levy. An allowance is
provided for delinquent t�es not expected to be collected in the future.
At September 30, 2017, the City had a tax rate of $0.683340 per $100 valuation. Based upon the maximum
Ad valorem t� of $2.50 per $100 valuation imposed by Texas Constitutional law, the City had a tax rate
margin of $1.81666. Additional revenues up to $166,628,606 could be raised per year based on the current
year's certified assessed value of $9,172,250,493 before the limit is reached.
On December 7, 2010, the City Council approved a T� Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #1)
for the purpose of dedicating the increase in tax revenues generated within the TIRZ district for development
in the downtown area of the City for a total of 30 years. The t� increment to be paid is 100% of the increment

in years 1-5, 95% in years 6-10, 90% in years 11-20, and 85% in years 21-30. In fiscal year 2017, the total
assessed value of $150,021,979 after supplemental adjustments for TIRZ #1 was an increase of $70,665,125
over the base fiscal year 2011 assessed value and resulted in $458,739 of property t� revenue recorded in
the TIRZ Fund as part of All Other Special Revenue Funds.
On December 18, 2012, the City Council approved a T� Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ
#2) for the purpose of dedicating 40% of the increase in t� revenues generated within the TIRZ district for
development in the Westpark Industrial District for a total of 25 years. In fiscal year 2017, the assessed value
of $2,401,349 after supplemental adjustments was an increase of $2,281,891 over the base fiscal year 2014
assessed value and resulted in $6,237 of property tax revenue recorded in the TIRZ Fund as part of All Other
Special Revenue Funds. Denton County participates in the zone and based on their tax rate and a participation
contribution of 40% of the County's tax rate, $2,267 of property t� revenue was generated for Fiscal Year
2017.
The City created the Rayzor Ranch Public Improvement District No. 1 in 2014 for the undertaking and
financing of public improvements authorized by Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code. The
project is located on the City's northern sector, east of Interstate 35, and encompasses approximately 229.693
contiguous acres. The estimated costs of the proposed public improvements total $40 million. The authorized
improvement costs will be apportioned 100% to the District. The method of assessment will impose equal
shares of the costs of the proposed public improvements on parcels that are similarly benefited. No City
property will be assessed, and the City will not be obligated to pay any assessments.

Proceeds of general obligation bonded debt are restricted to the uses for which they were approved in the
bond elections or, in the case of a refunding issuance, to the uses for which the certificates of obligation were
originally issued. The City Charter expressly prohibits the use of bond proceeds to fund operating expenses.
The general obligations are collateralized by the full faith and credit of the City and, primarily, payable from
property t�es.
In prior years, the City defeased general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation by placing the
proceeds of new debt in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds.
Accordingly, the trust account assets and liabilities for the defeased debt are not included in the City's
financial statements. On September 30, 2017 $4,510,000 of general obligation bonds and $2,400,000 of
certificates of obligation considered defeased are still outstanding.
In May 2017, the City issued $90,800,000 ($73,800,000 of which is included as part of business type
activities) in certificates of obligation. The debt was issued to pay the costs of various capital improvements
in the Capital Projects Fund ($17,000,000), Electric ($60,820,000), and Solid Waste ($12,980,000).
In May 2017, the City issued $29,105,000 ($1,280,000 of which is included as part of business-type activities)
of general obligation refunding and improvement bonds. The refunding portion of the bonds' reacquisition
price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old debt by $307,304 ($43,088 of which is reported as a loss

in business-type activities). This amount is being amortized over the remaining life of the refunded debt,
which is the same as the life of the new debt issued. This advance refunding was undertaken to reduce total
debt service payments over 6 years by $862,067 and resulted in a net present value sa�ings of $828,733. The
improvement portion of the bonds was issued to pay the costs of various capital improvements in the Capital
Projects Fund for $16,590,000.
Business-type revenue bonds — Revenue bond debt at September 30, 2017, is comprised of the following
issues:

Total revenue bonds $ 214,890,000 $ 214,890,000
[These amounts do not include net unamortized premiums!(discounts) of $30,379,082.]
The revenue bonds are collateralized by the revenue of the Denton utility system funds (System) and the
related interest and sinking fund. The ordinance provides that the revenue of the System is to be used first to
pay operating and maintenance expenses of the System and second to establish and maintain the revenue
bond funds. Any remaining revenues may then be used for any lawful purpose. The ordinance also contains
provisions, which among other items restrict the issuance of additional revenue bonds unless certain financial
ratios are met. Management believes the City is in compliance with all significant requirements. The interest
and sinking fund had a net position balance of $2,671,250 as of September 30, 2017 and is restricted for debt
service.
In prior years, the City defeased revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in an irrevocable trust
to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and
liabilities for the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financial statements. On September 30, 2017,
$20,290,000 of revenue bonds considered defeased are still outstanding.
In January 2017, the City issued $214,890,000 (all of which is included as part of business-type activities) in
revenue bond debt. The debt was issued to acquire and construct additions and improvements to the City's
electric light and power system including new quick start peak power generation facilities.

H. Landfili ciosure and post-ciosure cost
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its Mayhill Road landfill site
upon closure and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after
closure. Although closure and post-closure care costs will be paid only upon anticipated closure, the City
reports a portion of these costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of
each balance sheet date. Based on a model created by a 2017 engineering study, total landfill closure and
post-closure cost increased from $16,706,340 at September 30, 2016 to $20,351,142 at September 30, 2017.
The $10,013,752 reported as landfill closure and post-closure care liability is a$2,801,893 increase from the
$7,211,859 liability reported on September 30, 2016. This liability represents the cumulative amount incurred
to date based on the use of 46.9% of the estimated capacity of the entire landfill at September 30, 2017.
Based on this estimate, the remaining potential estimated liability for closure and post-closure care of the
entire landfill is $16,590,680. The City will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and post-
closure care as the remaining capacity is filled. These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform
closure and post-closure care in 2017. Actual cost may fluctuate due to inflation, changes in technology, or
changes in regulations. The landfill has a remaining life of 11 years, and the City expects to close the landfill
in fiscal year 2028.

Texas Municipai Retirement Pian
Pian description
The City of Denton participates as one of 872 plans in the nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined
benefit pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency
created by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas
Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple-employer retirement system for municipal employees
in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of the System with
a six-member board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints
the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's defined benefit pension plan is a
t�-qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMRS issues a publicly-available
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) obtainable at www,,;,;��ra;;p;;;�,,;,�,�s,;rra,.
All eligible employees of the city are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with inferesf, and fhe
city-financed monefary credifs wifh inferesf were used fo purchase an annuity. Members may choose fo
receive fheir re�iremenf benefif in one of seven paymenfs op�ions. Members may also choose fo receive a
portion of fheir benefif as a Partial Lump Sum Distribufion in an amounf equal fo 12, 24, or 36 monfhly
payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.
Upon retirement, benefits depend on the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and the city-
financed monetary credits, with interest. City-financed monetary credits are composed of three sources: prior
service credits, current service credits, and updated service credits. Prior service credit, granted by each city
joining TMRS, is a monetary credit equal to the accumulated value of the percentage of prior service credit
adopted times and employee's deposits that would have been made, based on the average salary prior to
participation, for the number of months the employee has been employed, accruing 3% annual interest, and
including the matching ratio adopted by the City. Monetary credits for service since the plan began (or current
service credits) are apercent (200%) ofthe employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City grants
on an annually repeating basis, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit. This
monetary credit is determined by hypothetically recomputing the member's account balance by assuming the
current member deposit rate of the City (7%) has always been in effect. The computation also assumes the
member's salary has always been the member's average salary — using a salary calculation based on the 36-
month period ending a year before the effective date of calculation. This hypothetical account balance is
increased by 3% each year, and increased by the city match currently in effect (200%). The resulting sum is
then compared to the member's actual account balance increased by the actual city match and actual interest
credited. If the hypothetical calculation exceeds the actual calculation, the member is granted a monetary
credit (or Updated Service Credit) equal to the difference between the hypothetical calculation and the actual
calculation times the percentage adopted. The plan provisions also include an annually repeating basis cost
of living adjustments for retires equal to 70% of the change in the consumer price index.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service regardless
of age. A member is vested after five years.

The City of Denton also participates in the cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit group-term life
insurance plan known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). This is a separate trust administered
by the TMRS Board of Trustees and is a voluntary program in which the City elected, by ordinance, to provide
group term life insurance coverage to active and retired members. The City may terminate coverage under
and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November lst of any year to be
effective the following January ls`
Payments from this fund are similar to group term life insurance benefits, and are paid to the designated
beneficiaries upon the receipt of an approved application for payment. The death benefit for active employees
provides a lump-sum payment approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated based on the
employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period preceding the month of death). The death benefit for
retirees is considered an"other postemployment benefit" (OPEB) and is a fixed amount of $7,500. The
obligations of this plan are payable only from the SDBF and are not an obligation of, or claim against, the
TMRS Pension Trust Fund.
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the City. The
contractually required contribution rate is determined by an annual actuarial valuation and is based on the
mortality and service experience of all employees covered by the SDBF and the demographics specific to the
workforce of the City. There is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for
the employer contribution rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The contributions to the
6z
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
SDBF are pooled for investment purposes with those of the Pension Trust Fund described above. The TMRS
Act requires the Pension Trust Fund to allocate investment income to the SDBF on an annual basis. The
funding policy of the plan is to assure adequate resources are a�ailable to meet all death benefit payments for
the upcoming year; the intent is not to prefund retiree term life insurance during employees' entire careers.
As such, contributions are utilized to fund active member deaths on a pay-as-you-go basis; any excess
contributions and investment income over payments then become net position available for OPEB.
The City's contributions to the TMRS SDBF for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015, 2016, and 2017,
were $133,686, $149,630, and $152,556, respectively, which equaled the required contributions each year.
Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Pian
Pian description
The City contributes to the retirement plan for firefighters in the Denton Fire Department known as the
Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the Fund). The Fund is a single employer, contributory,
defined benefit plan. The benefit provisions of the Fund are authorized by the Texas Local Fire Fighters'
Retirement Act (TLFFRA). TLFFRA provides the authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions. The
plan is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund. The City
does not ha�e access to nor can it utilize assets within the retirement plan trust. The Fund issues a stand-alone
report pursuant to GASB Statement No. 67, which may be obtained by writing the Denton Firemen's Relief
and Retirement Fund at P.O. Box 2375, Denton, Texas 76202. See that report for all information about the
plan fiduciary net position.
Benefits provided
Firefighters in the Denton Fire Department are covered by the Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund
which provides service retirement, death, disability, and withdrawal benefits. These benefits fully vest after
20 years of credited service. Firefighters may retire at age 50 with 20 years of service. A partially-vested
benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate employment with at least 10 but less than 20 years of
service. If a terminated firefighter has a partially vested benefit, the firefighter may retire starting on the date
they would have both completed 20 years of service if they had remained a Denton firefighter and attained
age 50. As of the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation date, the plan effective January 1, 2011 provides a
monthly normal service retirement benefit, payable in a Joint and Two-Thirds to Spouse form of annuity,
equal to 2.59% of Highest 36-Month Average Salary for each year of service.
A retiring firefighter who is at least age 52 with at least 22 years of service has the option to elect the
Retroactive Deferred Retirement Option Plan (RETRO DROP) which will provide a lump sum benefit and a
reduced monthly benefit. The reduced monthly benefit is based on the service and Highest 36-Month Average
Salary as if the firefighter had terminated employment on their selected RETRO DROP benefit calculation
date, which is no earlier than the later of the date the firefighter meets the age 52 and 22 years of service
requirements and the date four years prior to the date the firefighter actually retires. Upon retirement, the
member will receive, in addition to the monthly retirement benefit, a lump sum equal to the sum of (1) the
amount of monthly contributions the member has made to the Fund after the RETRO DROP benefit
calculation date plus (2) the total of the monthly retirement benefits the member would have received between
the RETRO DROP benefit calculation date and the date retired under the plan. There are no account balances.
The lump sum is calculated at the time of retirement and distributed as soon as administratively possible.
There is no provision for automatic postretirement benefit increases. The Fund has the authority to provide,
and has periodically in the past provided, ad hoc postretirement benefit increases.

Empioyees covered by benefit terms
In the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation, the following numbers of inembers were covered by the Fund:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 84
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 2
Active employees 176
Total 262
Contributions
The contribution provisions of the Fund are authorized by TLFFRA. TLFFRA provides the authority and
procedure to change the amount of contributions determined as a percentage of pay by each firefighter and a
percentage of payroll by the City.
The funding policy of the Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund requires contributions equal to
12.6% of pay by the firefighters, the rate elected by the firefighters according to TLFFRA. The City currently
contributes according to a City ordinance the same percentage of payroll the City contributes to the Texas
Municipal Retirement System for other employees each calendar year. The City contribution rate was 17.41%
in calendar year 2016 and 17.48% in calendar year 2017 until mid-December when the rate changed to 18.5%.
The December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation includes the assumption that the city contribution rate will a�erage
15.5% over the UAAL amortization period. The costs of administering the plan are paid from the Fund assets.
The City's contributions to the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2017 were $2,814,029.
Ultimately, the funding policy also depends upon the total return of the Fund's assets, which varies from year
to year. Investmentpolicy decisions are established and maintained by the board of trustees. The board selects
investments and employs investment managers with the advice of their investment consultant who is
completely independent of the investment managers. For the calendar year ending December 31, 2016, the
money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments was 10.17%. This measurement of the investment
performance is net of investment-related expenses, reflecting the effect of the timing of the contributions
received and the benefits paid during the year.
While the contribution requirements are not actuarially determined, state law requires that each change in
plan benefits adopted by the Fund must first be approved by an eligible actuary, certifying the contribution
commitment by the firefighters and the assumed city contribution rate together provide an adequate
contribution arrangement. Using the entry age actuarial cost method, the plan's normal cost contribution rate
is determined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total contribution rate over the normal cost
contribution rate is used to amortize the plan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The number of
years needed to amortize the plan's UAAL is actuarially determined using an open, level percentage of payroll
method.
Net pension liability
The City of Denton's net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2016, and the total pension
liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December
31, 2015 and rolled forward to December 31, 2016.
Actuariai assumptions
The total pension liability in the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Infla�ion

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables for males and for females
(sex distinct) projected to 2024 by scale AA.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is reviewed for each biennial actuarial
valuation and was determined using a building-block method in which expected future net real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset
class. These components are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future net real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage (currently resulting in 5.00%)
and by adding expected inflation (2.50%). In addition, the final 6.75% assumption was selected by "rounding
down" and thereby reflects a reduction of 0.75% for adverse deviation. The target allocation and expected
arithmetic net real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.75%. No projection of cash flows was
used to determine the discount rate because the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation showed expected
contributions would pay the normal cost and amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL)
in 32 years. Because of the 32-year amortization period of the UAAL, the pension plan's fiduciary net
position is expected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and
inactive members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.75%
was applied to all periods of proj ected benefit payments as the discount rate to determine the total pension
liability.

B. Post-empioyment benefits other than pensions (OPEB)
The cost of post-employment healthcare benefits, from an accrual accounting perspective, similar to the cost
of pension benefits, should be associated with the periods in which the cost occurs, rather than in the future
year when it will be paid. According to the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2017, the City recognizes the cost of post-employment healthcare in the year the employee
services are received, reports the accumulated liability from prior years, and provides information useful in
assessing potential demands on the City's future cash flows. Recognition of the liability accumulated from
prior years will be amortized over 30 years, the first period commencing with the fiscal year ending September
30, 2008.
Pian description
The City provides post-employment medical care (OPEB) for retired employees through a single-employer
defined benefit medical plan. The plan provides medical benefits for eligible retirees, their spouses and
dependents though the City's group health insurance plans, which covers both active and retired members.
The benefits, benefit levels, and contribution rates are recommended annually by the City management as
part of the budget process. Any changes in rate subsidies for retirees are approved by the City Council. Since

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
an irrevocable trust has not been established, the plan is not accounted for as a trust fund. The plan does not
issue a separate financial report.
Benefits provided
The City provides post-employment medical, dental, and vision care benefits to its retirees. To be eligible for
benefits, an employee must qualify for retirement under the Texas Municipal Retirement System or the
Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Plan. Retirees must make a one-time irrevocable decision to choose
benefits at the time of retirement, after that their eligibility for the benefits ceases. However, retirees can
move between plans and can add and drop dependents based on qualifying events.
All medical care benefits are provided through the City's self-insured health plan. The benefit levels are the
same as those afforded to active employees.
Funding policy
The plan premium rates are recommended annually by City management and approved by the City Council
as part of the annual budget. The retiree's contribution is the full amount ofthe actuarially determined blended
premium rate less a subsidy dependent upon years of service at retirement. By providing retirees with access
to the City's healthcare plans based on the same rates it charges to active employees, the City is in effect
providing a subsidy to retirees. This implied subsidy exists because, on a�erage, retiree health care costs are
higher than active employee healthcare costs. By the City not contributing anything toward this plan in
advance, the City employs a pay-as-you-go method through paying the higher rate for active employees each
year. The City contributes $40 per month for each five-year increment of service, up to $200 per month,
toward the cost of retiree coverage. The full cost for dental and vision is paid by the retiree. Retirees are
required to enroll in Medicare Part B once eligible (age 65) and are moved into a fully-insured Medicare
Supplement plan at that time. The same City contribution level applies to the supplement.
Annuai OPEB costs and Net OPEB obiigation
The City's annual other post-employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the City (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB
Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of accrual that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover
normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty
years.

The schedule of funding progress, presented as "Required Supplementary Information" (E�ibit XIII)
following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability of
benefits. Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of events in the future. Amounts determined regarding the status of the plan and the annual
required contributions of the City's retiree health care plan are subject to continual revision as actual results
are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Actuariai methods and assumptions
The Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method is used to calculate the GASB ARC for the City's retiree
health care plan. Using the plan benefits, the present health premiums and a set of actuarial assumptions, the
anticipated future payments are projected. The Projected Unit Credit method then provides for a systematic
funding for these anticipated payments. The yearly ARC is computed to cover the cost of benefits being
earned by covered members as well as to amortize a portion of the unfunded accrued liability.
Proj ections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the plan understood by the employer and plan
members) and include the type of benefits in force at the valuation date and the pattern of sharing benefits
between the City and the plan members at that point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective
and employ methods and assumptions designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities
and the actuarial value of assets. Significant method and assumptions used for this fiscal year valuation as
shown on the following page were as follows:

The federal government may provide the city subsidy per the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Subsidy
Program for providing healthcare for Medicare eligible employees. As the City does not participate in these
subsidies, any current and future year subsidies are not recognized as a reduction to the actuarial accrued
liability.
C. Deferred compensation pian
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code Section 457. For the calendar years 2016 and 2017, the plan, a�ailable to all permanent City employees,
permitted them to defer, until future years, up to $18,000. Employees who are age 50 or older may contribute
an amount not to exceed $24,000. Employees who are within three years of retirement eligibility may elect
to participate in a catch-up provision allowed by Section 457, which has an annual maximum contribution
amount of $36,000. The withdrawal of deferred compensation funds is only available to employees by loan,
termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts,
and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are, until paid or made available to the
employee or other beneficiary, solely the property and rights of the employees. Accordingly, the assets and
associated liability of the plan are not included in the City's financial statements.
It is the opinion of the City's legal counsel that the City has no liability for losses under the plan.

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS

D. Seif-insurance pian
The City has established a self-insurance plan for liability and workers' compensation claims in the Risk
Retention Fund. Accrued claims payable include provisions for claims reported and claims incurred but not
reported. The provision for reported claims is determined by estimating the amount which will ultimately
be paid for each claimant. The provision for claims incurred but not yet reported is estimated based on
actuarial studies.
It is the policy of the City of Denton not to purchase commercial insurance for workers' compensation
claims or general liability. Commercial liability insurance coverage is purchased for airport operations,
emergency medical services, take-home vehicles, and employee theft and dishonesty. Additionally, excess
insurance is purchased for general liability, auto liability, public officials, and workers' compensation
exposures. The City reports liabilities when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that
loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that ha�e been incurred but not
reported. Because actual claim liabilities depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes in legal
doctrines, and damage awards, the process used in computing claims liability does not necessarily result in
an exact amount.
In January 2008, the City started a self-insured group employee health insurance plan. Claims are paid from
the Health Insurance Fund, which has an annually negotiated stop loss provision.
The City's costs associated with the self-insurance plans are interfund transactions. Accordingly, they are
treated as operating revenues of the Internal Service Risk Retention Fund and Health Insurance Fund and
operating expenditures (expenses) of the other funds and employee payroll deductions.
Claims liabilities are re-evaluated periodically to take into consideration settlement of claims, new claims
and other factors. As of September 30, 2017 the estimated value of these liabilities was $4,334,013.
Changes in balances of claims liabilities during fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

in the Risk Retention Fund and $4,843,341 in the Health Insurance Fund for payment of claims. There were
no significant reductions in insurance coverage from coverage in the prior year, and the amount of
settlements did not exceed insurance coverage in the current year or in any of the past three fiscal years.

E. Commitments and contingencies
Agreement with TMPA
In 1976, the City, along with the cities of Bryan, Greenville, and Garland, Texas (the Cities) entered into a
Power Sales Contract with the Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA). TMPA was created through
concurrent ordinances of the Cities and is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of eight members, two
appointed by the governing body of each city. Under the terms of the agreement, TMPA agreed to construct
or acquire electric generating plants to supply energy and power to the Cities for a period of not less than 35
years. The Cities in turn agreed to purchase all future power and energy requirements in excess of the amounts
generated by their systems from TMPA at prices intended to cover operating costs and retirement of debt. In
the event that revenues are insufficient to cover all costs and retire the outstanding debt, each of the cities has
guaranteed a portion of the unpaid debt based, generally, upon its pro rata share of the energy delivered to
consumers in the prior operating year.
TMPA, a municipal corporation, is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of eight members. The
governing body of each of the four Cities appoints two members to the Board. An affirmative vote of five
Directors, plus a weighted majority vote based on the respective energy usage of the Cities, is required for
major decisions.
The City pays TMPA a pro-rated monthly charge based on the City's contractual portion of TMPA's annual
fixed operating costs and debt service payments, which is currently 213%.
As of September 30, 2017, total TMPA long-term debt outstanding was approximately $301,629,000. The
City's portion ofthis debt due to contractual obligations with TMPA is $21,395,608, all due in the next fiscal
year ($21,175,395 ofprincipal and $220,213 in related interest).
In January 2016 and again in June 2017, TMPA issued requests for proposals (RFPs) regarding the proposed
sale of the agency's generation and transmission assets. Certain proposals received in connection with the
2016 RFP were pursued in 2016 and into 2017, but negotiations were ultimately discontinued. TMPA
received additional proposals in the summer and fall of 2017 and is reviewing them.
The proposals involve two cooperating entities, neither of which is a governmental entity. One proposer is
interested in ownership of Gibbons Creek, and the other proposer has expressed interest in acquiring a portion
of TMPA's transmission facilities. The proposals are under evaluation by TMPA, and negotiations with the
proposers ha�e not yet commenced.
TMPA management anticipates, that if any negotiations are pursued with respect to the sale proposals, that
(i) none of TMPA's generation assets would be transferred prior to September 1, 2018, and (ii) none of
TMPA's transmission assets would be transferred prior to the first date, September 1, 2020, when all
transmission debt is subject to optional or mandatory redemption or could otherwise be prepaid.
Effective September 1, 2016, TMPA and the Member Cities entered into a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA).
In general, the purposes of the JOA include: (i) funding TMPA operations such as mine reclamation,
transmission service, and plant decommissioning following expiration of the Power Sales Contract (PSC);
(ii) subj ect to certain exceptions, requiring Member City approval for the issuance of new debt, the execution
of certain significant contracts, and the sale of property exceeding $10 million in value; (iii) specifying
provisions for determining how costs of TMPA and proceeds from the sale of assets are to be allocated among
the Member Cities; (iv) providing for the establishment by TMPA of reserve funds for the decommissioning
of the plant and the indemnification of TMPA Board Members and Member City officials, employees,
contractors, and agents; and (v) dividing the operations of TMPA into three business functions (mine,
generation, and transmission) and requiring separate budgets and books for each business function.
The PSC provides upon dissolution of TMPA, the assets of TMPA automatically being transferred to the
Member Cities, with each Member City receiving an undivided interest in the assets of TMPA in proportion
to the amount paid by the Member City to TMPA. The JOA requires TMPA to periodically make this
calculation for each business unit, and sets out formulas for making these calculations. Under the JOA, these
�z
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
ownership calculations are relevant not only to the allocation of assets upon dissolution of TMPA, but also
to the allocation of certain proceeds from the sale of assets, and in some cases, the allocation of TMPA costs.
At the request of a maj ority of the Member Cities, TMPA is required by the JOA to transfer a divided interest
in the transmission system to each Member City. Under this partition process, the objective is for each City
to receive ownership of transmission facilities in the vicinity of the Member City, and in proportion to the
Member City's ownership interest in the transmission business. Any such transfer of transmission assets must
be in compliance with relevant bond covenants, including those requiring defeasance of all or a portion of
transmission debt.
The JOA includes a reclamation plan for the mine, requires the development of a decommissioning plan, and
sets out standards for environmental remediation. TMPA is required to comply with these plans and standards.
Under the JOA, in discharging its contractual obligations, including mine reclamation, decommissioning,
transmission service, environmental remediation, indemnification, and other obligations, TMPA is rendering
services to the Member Cities. The JOA obligates each Member City to pay the cost of these services, and to
collect rates and charges for electric service sufficient to enable it to pay to TMPA all amounts due under the
JOA for these services. A Member City's payment obligations under the JOA are payable exclusively from
such electric utility revenues, and constitute an operating expense of its electric system.
Unless terminated earlier through the mutual consent of all parties, the JOA remains in effect until the
dissolution of TMPA and the winding up of its affairs.
Effective September 1, 2016, the JOA was amended (Amendment No. 1). The primary purposes of the
amendment were to authorize the sale of Gibbons Creek and the sale of the Southern 345 kV Transmission
System and to authorize the issuance of refunding bonds in connection with such sales. As the sale
contemplated by Amendment No. 1 did not occur, by its own terms, Amendment No. 1 ceased to have any
force or effect. Effective September 22, 2017, the JOA was amended a second time (Amendment No. 2). The
purposes of this amendment are to: continue TMPA's authority to issue mine reclamation bonds as had been
contemplated in Amendment No. 1; revise the dates on which the separate budgets of the JOA become
effective; authorize TMPA to sell certain mining and transmission assets, provided the sales do not exceed in
value certain financial thresholds, and provided the sales comply with bond covenants; and allow for an
extension to the term of the PSC, applicable only to the cities notifying TMPA of the extension, in order to
complete a period of seasonal operation in 2018, or such other period of time as desired by the notifying
cities.
Effective October 17, 2017, Gibbons Creek entered into a seasonal operations mode, operating during the
summer months only (June-September). This change was authorized by ERCOT through a Notification of
Suspension of Operations (NSO) Initial and Final Determination, dated August 2017. Due to the significant
decline in service utility of the generation assets, such assets were deemed impaired as of September 30,
2017. The City also impaired its TMPA prepaid purchase power due to the seasonality changes. Of the
$43,378,333 balance in TMPA prepaid purchase power outstanding as of September 30, 2017 as part of the
City's total prepaid balance in the Electric fund, $26,930,415 was impaired and recorded as an Other Asset
to be amortized over 7.5 years.

F. Tax Abatements
The City enters into economic development incentive agreements with entities to promote development and
redevelopment within the City, stimulate commercial activity, generate additional sales tax, and enhance the
property t� base and economic vitality of the City. Some agreements provide for an abatement of property
t�es, while others provide for a rebate of a portion of sales and use t� or a portion of ad valorem (property)
t�, as established per the agreements. The incentives are performance-based, and the City generally expects
to receive increased revenue as a result of the agreements. These incentive agreements require approval by a
City Council ordinance and are authorized under Chapter 312 (Property Redevelopment and T� Abatement
Act) of the Texas T� Code and Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code.
Property Tax Abatements
Tax abatements under Chapter 312 of the Texas T� Code allow the City to designate t� reinvestment zones
and negotiate tax abatement agreements with applicants. In 1990, the City Council adopted aresolution setting
guidelines and criteria for granting abatements in the reinvestment zones which specifically notes incentives
are limited to companies which create new wealth and do not adversely affect existing businesses operating
within the City. The abatement agreements authorize the appraisal districts to reduce the assessed value of
the taxpayer's property by a percentage specified in the agreement, and the taxpayer will pay taxes on the
lower assessed value during the term of the agreement. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the
City abated property t�es totaling $876,148 under this program, as detailed in the following agreements:

should the grantees meet the obligations of the agreements.
380 Agreements
The City Council has the authority under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code to grant or loan
City funds in order to accomplish specific economic development goals. These incentives are considered on
a case-by-case basis. The City has target industry sectors for recruitment that will be given priority
consideration: aviation/aerospace, advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, research and development,
information technology, supply chain for e�sting primary employers, and significant consumers of municipal
utilities. Consideration may also be given for projects causing infill redevelopment or other desirable
development objectives and/or any other activity which the City Council determines meets a specific public
purpose for economic development.
Each agreement is based on the contribution in sales or property t� or both. For the fiscal year ended

in addition to tax abatements. The Statement had no financial impact. See note V.F. for disclosure
requirements.
The following statements for the GASB are effective for future fiscal years ending as listed below. The City
is in the process of reviewing and evaluating these statements and their potential impact on the City's financial
statements.
Statement No. 75 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Poste�nploy�nent Benefits Other Than
Pensions" (OPEB) — This Statement replaces the requirements of Statements No. 45 and No. 57 related
to OPEB. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and financial reporting by
state and local governments for postemployment benefits other than pensions, OPEB. It also improves
information provided by state and local governmental employers about financial support for OPEB that
is provided by other entities. This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness
of e�sting standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits (pensions
and OPEB) with regard to providing decision-useful information. This statement changes the focus of
OPEB accounting from whether the employer is responsibly funding the OPEB benefits to reporting a
liability in the financial statements for any unfunded portion of benefits earned to-date, and it will
become effective for the City in fiscal year 2018.
Statement No. 80 `Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units — an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 14" — This Statement amends the blending requirements established in Statement No. 14,
adding additional criterion required for blending of a component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit
corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member. This Statement will become
effective for the City in fiscal year 2018.
Statement No. 81 "Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreements" — This Statement establishes accounting and
financial reporting standards for irrevocable split-interest agreements created through trusts in which a
donor irrevocably transfers resources to an intermediary, who administers these resources for the
unconditional benefit of a government and at least one other beneficiary. This Statement will become
effective for the City in fiscal year 2018.
Statement No. 82 "Pension Issues — an amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73" —
This Statement establishes and clarifies accounting and financial reporting requirements for pensions
provided to the employees of state or local governmental employers, specifically (1) the presentation of
payroll-related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and
the treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting
purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee contribution
requirements. This Statement will become effective for the City in fiscal year 2018.

Source: Compiled by First Southwest Company using data from the "Texas Municipal Report" prepared
for the Municipal Advisory Council.
Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries
of the city. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments
that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City of Denton. This process recognizes that, when
considering the City of Denton's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by
the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every
taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
iThe percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values.
Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping government's
taxable assessed value that is within the City of Denton's boundaries and dividing it by the overlapping
government's total taxable assessed value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Denton, Texas
We ha�e audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govern�nent Auditing Standards issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Denton, Texas as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City of Denton, Texas' basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 2,
2018.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Denton,
Texas' internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Denton, Texas' internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Denton, Texas' internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and
correct misstatements on a timely basis. A�naterial weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit
we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that ha�e not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Denton, Texas' financial statements
are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could ha�e a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Govern�nent Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or
on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Govern�nent Auditing
Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH
MAJOR FEDERAL AND STATEPROGRAM AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
AND THE STATE OF TEXAS UNIFORM GRANT MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Denton, Texas
Report on Compiiance for Each Major Federai and State Program
We ha�e audited the City of Denton, Texas' compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U.S. Office of Manage�nent and Budget (OMB) Co�npliance Supple�nent and the State of Texas
Unifor�n Grants Manage�nent Standards that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City of
Denton, Texas' major federal and state programs for the year ended September 30, 2017. The City of Denton,
Texas' major federal and state programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal and state statutes, regulations, and the terms and
conditions of its federal and state awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City of Denton, Texas' major
federal and state programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govern�nent Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 200, Unifor�n Ad�ninistrative Require�nents, Cost Principles, and Audit Require�nents for Federal
Awards (Uniform Guidance); and the State of Texas Single Audit Circular. Those standards, the Uniform
Guidance, and the State of Texas Single Audit Circular require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above
that could ha�e a direct and material effect on a major federal or state program occurred. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Denton, Texas' compliance with those requirements and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major
federal and state program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City of Denton,
Texas' compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal and State Program
In our opinion, the City of Denton, Texas, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could ha�e a direct and material effect on each of its major federal and state
programs for the year ended September 30, 2017.
Report on Internai Controi over Compiiance
Management of the City of Denton, Texas is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City of Denton, Texas' internal control over compliance
with the types of requirements that could ha�e a direct and material effect on each major federal and state
program to determine auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on compliance for each major federal and state program and to test and report on internal control over
compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the State of Texas Unifor�n Grant Manage�nent
Standards, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Denton, Texas'
internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over co�npliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal or
state program on a timely basis. A�naterial weakness in internal control over co�npliance is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal or state program will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over
co�npliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal or state program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal
control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that
might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control
over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that ha�e
not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform
Guidance and the State of Texas Unifor�n Grant Manage�nent Standards. Accordingly, this report is not suitable
for any other purpose.

the State of Texas Uniform Grant Management Standards
We ha�e audited the financial statements of the City of Denton, Texas as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2017, and ha�e issued our report thereon dated March 2, 2018, which contained unmodified
opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the
financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and the State of Texas Unifor�n
Grant Manage�nent Standards and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of
federal and state awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.

some cases, differ slightly from amounts disclosed herein. The reports prepared for grantor agencies are
typically prepared at a later date and often reflect refined estimates of year-end accruals. The reports will agree

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Denton, Texas
We ha�e audited the financial statements of the City of Denton, Texas (City) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2017, and ha�e issued our report thereon dated March 2, 2018. Professional standards require that
we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financiai Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated July 18, 2017, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that ha�e been
prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does
not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our

As part of the engagement we assisted in preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards
of the City of Denton, Texas in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles based on information
provided by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Govern�nentAuditing Standards and such
services were not conducted in accordance with Govern�nentAuditing Standards.
In order to ensure we maintain our independence for performing these nonaudit services certain safeguards
were applied to this engagement. Management assumed responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal
and state awards and any other nonaudit services we provided. Management acknowledged, in the management
representation letter, our assistance with the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards
and that these items were reviewed and approved prior to their issuance and accepted responsibility for them.
Further, the nonaudit services were overseen by an individual within management that has the suitable skill,
knowledge, or experience; evaluated the adequacy and results of the services; and accepted responsibility for them.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity's Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the
significant accounting policies adopted by the City of Denton, Texas is included in Note 1 to the financial
statements. The City implemented GASB Statement No. 77, "Ta� Abate�nentDisclosures". This statement requires
governments entering into t� abatement agreements to provide certain disclosures regarding these commitments
such as descriptions of the agreements, the amounts abated, and any additional commitments by the governments
in addition to abatements. The Statement only effets the notes to the financial statements. See note IV for disclosure
requirements. No matters ha�e come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform
you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant
accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or
consensus.
Significant Accounting Esti�nates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based
on management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past
and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting
them may differ markedly from management's current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible property taxes receivable is based on a historical
collection rate of outstanding property taxes. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop
the allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management's estimate of the accumulated depreciation is based on the related estimated useful lives of
capital assets. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining
that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts for ambulance receivables is based on a
historical rate of ambulance receivables. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible trade accounts receivable is based on a historical
rate of trade accounts receivable. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance
for uncollectible trade accounts receivable in determiniug that it is reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible court fines and fees receivable is based on a
historical collection rate of outstanding court fines and fees. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions
used to develop the allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken
as a whole.
Management's estimate of the net pension liabilities and net OPEB obligation are based on actuarial
assumptions which are determined by the demographics of the plan and future projections that the actuary
makes based on historical information of the plan and the investment market. We evaluated the key factors
and assumptions used to develop the net pension liabilities and net OPEB obligation and determined that it is
reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion
units.
Management's estimate for closure and post-closure costs for the municipal land fill were based upon an
engineering study performed by Burns & McDonnell. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to
develop the estimate of the closure and post-closure costs in determining that they are reasonable in relation
to the financial statements as a whole.
Financial State�nent Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the City's financial
statements relate to the pension liabilities, net OPEB obligation, and the landfill post-closure costs liability.
The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Difficuities Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the
audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely
misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the
appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of
uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or
disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. Management has corrected
all immaterial and trivial misstatements.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements
that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. None of the misstatements
identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually
or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole or applicable opinion units.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter,
whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which
could be significant to the City's financial statements or the auditor's report. No such disagreements arose during
the course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We ha�e requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the
management representation letter dated March 2, 2018.
Management's Consuitations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants
regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters,
including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions
affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of
the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City's auditors.
Significant Forthcoming Accounting Standards
Accountin� and Financial Reporting for Poste�nplov�nent Benefits Other Than Pensions
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75 ("GASB 75"), Accounting and Financial
Reportingfor Poste�nploy�nentBenefits Other Than Pensions, is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2017.
The primary objective of GASB 75 is to improve accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments
for postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or "OPEB"). It also improves
information provided by state and local governmental employers about financial support for OPEB that is provided
by other entities.
This Statement replaces the requirements of Statements No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by
E�nployers for Poste�nploy�nent Benefits Other Than Pensions, as amended, and No. 57, OPEB Measure�nents by
Agent E�nployers and Agent Multiple-E�nployer Plans.
These new standards relate only to the accounting and reporting of OPEB plans within the GAAP based
financial statements of governmental entities. They do not establish requirements as to the actual funding of these
benefits. Those decisions are left to management and the governing body.
This Statement may have a material impact on recorded OPEB liabilities compared to application of current
standards. Your processes should be updated to incorporate the new information requirements and the City should
begin to gather information now to determine the future impacts on financial reporting.
Restriction on Use
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council of the City of Denton, Texas
and management of the City of Denton, Texas and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding nominations and the appointment of
a Member to the Board of Directors of the Denton County Transportation Authority to include a discussion
on the composition of the existing Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Richard Huckaby was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Denton County Transportation
Authority (DCTA) as the City of Denton Representative by City of Denton Resolution 2011-048 on
December 6, 201 l. During his tenure on the DCTA Board Mr. Huckaby has engaged in various
subcommittees and has served in multiple leadership roles to include Board Secretary, current Chair of the
Finance Committee and is currently serving as the Vice-Chair of the Board.
In December 2017, Mr. Huckaby expressed his interest to staff in continuing to serve the citizens of
Denton on the DCTA Board. Mr. Huckaby is a long-term resident of Denton, teaches national and state
government at North Central Texas College, served as the Corinth City Manager from 1993 to 200 and
retired from the United States Marine Corps as a Brigadier General.
The current two-year term for the City of Denton Representative and First Alternate has expired,
however, the appointee may serve in an official capacity until replaced. Mr. Guy McElroy, former City of
Denton Council Member, currently serves as the first alternate and has expressed his interest to continuing
serving as the Alternate. At the February Mobility Committee meeting, staff was directed to place the
DCTA Board nomination on the March 6, 2018, City Council Work Session agenda with the intent to
provide an opportunity to consider additional nominations and discuss the DCTA Board composition.
On February 16, 2018, City Council was provided an Informal Staff Report (Exhibit 4) outlining the
composition of the DCTA Board of Directors which has a total of 14 members. The report outlined that
Denton was one of three Participating Members that have dedicated a �/z-cent sales tax to DCTA. The
other two Participating Members are Highland Village and Lewisville. Participating Member cities also
have a weighted vote known as the 2/3-Vote. This clause requires a vote by two of the three
Participating Member cities Board action on critical issues, typically financial in nature. The specific 2/3
vote issues are defined in Exhibits 4 and Exhibit 5.
Each Denton County municipality with a population over 17,000 may appoint a representative to the
DCTA Board, currently eight. These cities are: Corinth, Denton, Flower Mound, Frisco, Highland
Village, Lewisville, Little Elm, and The Colony. Three members representing municipalities with
populations between 500 and 17,000 are designated by the County Judge subsequent to being nominated
by their respective communities and votes cast by each community. Three members are appointed by a
vote of the Denton County Commissioners Court, two of which must reside in unincorporated areas of
the county.
OPTIONS
l. Reappoint Richard Huckaby as the Primary City of Denton Representative on the DCTA Board of
Directors and reappoint Guy McElroy as the Alternate.
2. Consider additional nominations for both the Primary and Alternate Representatives to the DCTA
Board of Directors.
3. Take no action at this time. Current representatives may continue to serve.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Report No. 2018-018
Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) Board composition and voting rights.
BACKGROUND:
Council recently requested information regarding DCTA Board of Director's membership and
voting rights. DCTA is governed by a 14-member board appointed by respective entities.
Large cities, small cities, and at-large members serve two-year terms.
DISCUSSION:
There are three member cities (Participating Members) that have dedicated a �/z-cent sales tax
to DCTA. These Participating Members are Denton, Highland Village, and Lewisville. Each
Denton County municipality with a population over 17,000, currently eight, may appoint a
representative to the Board: Corinth, Denton, Flower Mound, Frisco, Highland Village,
Lewisville, Little Elm, and The Colony. Three members representing municipalities with
populations between 500 and 17,000 are designated by the County Judge subsequent to being
nominated by their respective communities to serve on the Board. Three members are
appointed by Denton County Commissioners Court, two of which must reside in
unincorporated areas of the county.
Each member of the DCTA Board has an equal vote except for specific policy issues and
matters involving financial commitment. In these situations, "an action of the Board of
Directors requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors, but not less than five (5)
Directors present and voting" and two-thirds of the Participating Members vote is required.
Thus, two of the following municipalities, Denton, Highland Village or Lewisville are
required for action on any votes on the following issues:
• A capital expenditure;
• Operating or maintenance expenditure for a capital asset;
• Material change of the service plan;
• Amendment of the bylaws;
• The approval of a comprehensive development agreement (CDA) or similar
financial contractual obligation for a purpose not an express commitment of the
DCTA Service Plan;
• The approval of a contract or other agreement between the DCTA and a
municipality or other governmental authority located within the A-Train
Corridor for participation in DCTA; or
• The formation of a local government corporation, contracting with, joining or

Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc. For transportation services as set forth in the
contract; and providing an effective date (RFQ 6610-Professional Service Agreement for transportation
consultant services to Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc., for a two year contract in the amount of
$252,000, with three (3) one-year options to renew, for a not-to-exceed total award of $630,000). Council
Mobility Committee recommends approval (2-0).
BACKGROUND
Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc (ITS) has provided the City of Denton with quality transportation
consultant services since 2002. ITS has been able to identify and produce many opportunities to leverage
municipal funds with county, regional, state and federal funds to advance transportation infrastructure
projects throughout the City of Denton and Denton County improving mobility for Denton residents.
ITS provides a unique service to the City of Denton and the continued use of ITS services is integral to the
development of future transportation infrastructure for the City of Denton. It is expected this contract will
result in an overall savings of tax dollars above and beyond the expenditure for these services. Mr. Polster's
extensive knowledge regarding State and regional funding opportunities will be extremely important over
the course of the proposed contract as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) develops a
procurement method for implementing Phase II of 35Express project, Loop 288 West project and
facilitating funding for the proposed FM 1515/Airport Road widening project.
Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) were sent to 362 prospective suppliers of this item. In addition, the RFQ
was placed on the Materials Management website for prospective respondents to download and advertised
in the local newspaper. One (1) statement of qualifications was received. Based on the respect and influence
Mr. Polster has within the North Texas transportation community, including TxDOT—Austin, and that no
other consulting firms submitted as part of the request for qualifications outlining their ability to deliver
services, and based on the level of service and results TTS has delivered in the past, staff is confident that
ITS can provide the best value to the citizens in assisting in the advancement of transportation projects in
the City of Denton.
RECOMMENDATION
Award a professional services contract to Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc., in the five (5) year
not-to—exceed amount of $630,000.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc.
Farmers Branch, TX
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is an initial two (2) year contract with options to extend the contract for three (3) additional one (1)
year periods, with all terms and conditions remaining the same.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On February 21, 2018, the Council Mobility Committee recommended approval to forward this item to the
City Council for consideration.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Funds have been budgeted for this contract in the FY 2017-2018 Transportation Operations account
350000.7854.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Public Infrastructure

ITS w' be an effective and consistent advocate for e City wi o eY u`cipalities because we have warked
with them on past assignments. We are comin.itted to devoted and dedicated service to the City of Denton
roughout e d arion of `s contract.
ITS understands at e goal of e services ou ` ed `tn `s RFQ ust result ui the ' ely develop ent and
cons crion of roadway projects critical to e econo `c viab' `ty of e City of enton and e quality of life of
its residents. Transportation dollars are scarce, and the competition foY them is intense. ITS understands that
ese hard-won do ars ust be care y anaged and a ocated to projects at add e greatest value to e
transportation syste . The City af Denton's local transportarion do aYs ust con ' ue to be tnnvested wisely to
ensure a ulrifold re n. ITS has a praven record of ' ec ` g its clients' resources for a` u effect. ITS

far ' g and m' ta� � g partnerslups to leveYage tax dallars for the cons ct�on of projects that are critical ta
mobility. ITS expedites e completion of thase projects, so at auY clients can benefit from the ' pYoved
facilities years earlier than would otherwise be possible.
In its simplest form, ITS identifies common goals and partners to provide resources (i.e. regulatory
undexstan ` g, fun ' g procurement, professional services, local gavernment suppart, u``ty and right-of-way
coar ` ation, overall program oversight, etc.} at strategic ° es during project development to ac °eve our
clients' goals.
Transportarion fun ' g ovex the years has increased during certa'tn periods and decreased ` others. owever,
the fun ' g that is av ` able to e state must be budgeted and expended ' a' ely anner, or e fun ' g is
moved to another project. Regulatory obligat�ons of each project may take ult�ple years and ultiple budget
cycles to complete. This makes it very °fficult to pre °ct when a project w' be ready ta cons ct and also
when to budget the ava�lab' 'ty af cons ction dollars. By using all af the tools and tech `ques ou ` ed ` ITS's
statement of quali�cat�ons, our ftrm is able to 'de its clients' projects through e re atory maze. Other
ent�t�es that rely on e state to develop their projects cannot control project schedules. TxDOT ust expend a
certa' amaunt of transportat�on fun ` g by onth, year, and budget cycle. By ensurtnng that aur clients'
projects are ready to be let for cons ct�on, ITS can take advantage of fun ' g that beca es ava�lable when
projects elsewhere da not eet their schedules.
Work dane by ITS to date has positioned many City projects to receive fun ° g through variaus sources, such as
the Regional Toll Revenue Initiative, Proposition 12, Praposition 14, Proposition 7, and Proposition 1
categories. All of the projects that received fun ` g from these saurces began their advanced plan ` g phases
prior to knowing fro where the cons ctian fun ` g would co e.
The City of Denton needs the caininitrnent from an experienced professional to accelerate the development and
ultimate canstructian af the projects critical to the City's mability. There are many things that occur during the
life of a praject that impact its schedule and feasibility. ITS's ability to develop the project thraugh its various
stages sets our approach apart from o ers. ITS expe °tes projects and avoids delays due to unforeseen
circumstances. OuY in-depth owledge of each phase allows ITS to develop some phases concurrendy. The
result is a shorter advanced plan ' g and desi schedule which gets the praject to cans ct�on sooner. It w`
be the rare occasion when an issue arises an a project in the Ciry of enton that ITS has not already seen and
resolved ° e past.
Ul ` ately, in ordeY to acca plish e goals set forth by e City of entan in `s RFQ, ITS w' need to b` g
to bear its a ost co bined 70 years of local experience to develop a critical path schedule specific to each
project. The critical path entry point foY each of these projects is different, depending on the current status of
project development.
ITS has crit�cal, in-depth transportation palicy/` plementarion owledge at all levels, inclu ` g local, state,
regional, and fedeYal. The tasks as au ` ed in �s RFQ and ITS's statement af quali£'icat�ons were specifically
develaped by ITS for e City of enton and represent e methadology and approach at ITS has used far the
past fifteen years to put our clients' roads on the ground. It has been Yefined thxoughout the yeaYs to strea ` e
both e` e and resaurces needed to accomplish aur clients' goals. T's owledge will be crucial to carrying
out the City's progra . Our strong relat�onslvp and knowledge of Tx OT policies and pracedures w` benefit
the City since coox ' ation wi the is crucial to progtam success.

you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your pocuSign, Inc.

and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your pocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a$0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent

change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to

paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your

or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

electronically to you through your pocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or

you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as

consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
rejecting all bids received under IFB 6621 — purchase of 138kv circuit breakers and maintenance parts —
pursuant to section 252.043 (f), Local Government Code; authorizing the City Manager, or his designee,
the authority to enter into a contract with the Lower Colorado River Authority, through an Interlocal
Cooperative Purchasing Program participation agreement pursuant to section 271.102 of the Texas Local
Government Code, for the purchase of high voltage circuit breakers for Denton Municipal Electric;
providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; providing an effective date (File 6621-Interlocal
Cooperative Purchasing Program participation agreement for the purchase of electrical equipment with
the Lower Colorado River Authority awarded to Siemens Industry, Inc. In the not to exceed amount of
$2,200,000). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (7-0).
BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) has substation projects in its approved five-year Capital Improvement
Plan that will require installation of 138kV circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are necessary substation
protective devices that have the capability to interrupt the flow of electrical current during faults to
prevent damage to equipment, structures, and personnel. Circuit breakers are controlled by
microprocessor based devices, referred to as "relays." Relays monitor various electrical conditions in
substations and on electrical circuits. If a relay detects a fault, or other abnormal condition, it will
automatically activate controls to open the circuit breaker to interrupt the electrical flow. A picture of a
138kV circuit breaker and typical substation layout is included in Exhibit 4.
DME currently has ninety-four (94) 138kV circuit breakers in service and three (3) replacement breakers.
Eight-six (86) of these are Siemens SPS2 breakers and eleven (11) are Mitsubishi circuit breakers. Circuit
breakers are rated by both the normal current that they are expected to carry and the maximum short
circuit that they can safely interrupt. The bid requested quotes for 3000 Amp circuit breakers for both
40kA and 63kA short-circuit loads. Higher interrupting ratings are required in some locations on the
DME system.
Invitations for Bid (IFB) were sent to 424 prospective suppliers. In addition, specifications were placed
on the Materials Management website for prospective suppliers to download. Two (2) bids were
received. The lowest bid was submitted from Siemens Industry, Inc., with a lead time of 16 weeks after
receipt of order. A summary of the bid results are included in Exhibit 2.
Although a formal IFB was conducted, staff is recommending the rejection of all bids, and utilization of
the existing cooperative agreement 4297 through the Lower Colorado River Authority. The utilization of
the cooperative contract allowed the City to accept previously negotiated terms and conditions, rather than
negotiate a new contract. The cooperative agreement offers comparable pricing as provided in the bid
response (Exhibit 2). Although the total cost on the cooperative contract is slightly higher than the IFB
pricing, staff time was saved in the negotiation of the contract terms and conditions with Siemens
Industry, Inc.
Pricing obtained through the Lower Colorado River Authority has been competitively bid and meets the
statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102. Purchase orders will be issued based
on need in project construction schedules, and there is no minimum purchase requirement. A list of
proposed projects that will utilize this equipment is included in Exhibit 5.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISIONS)
On December 12, 2006, Council approved the Interlocal with the Lower Colorado River Authority
(Ordinance 2006-334).
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of 138kV circuit breakers and maintenance parts from Siemens Industry Inc. in the
not-to-exceed amount of $2,200,000.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Richland, MS
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The contract was executed by the Lower Colorado River Authority on December 15, 2015 and may be
renewed annually, with a contract termination of December, 18, 2020.
Orders will be placed as project schedules require and will be delivered within 16 weeks
FISCAL INFORMATION
The costs for material purchased under the proposed agreement will be funded out of amounts budgeted
for specific projects. The work proposed will be in the transmission category. These costs for
transmission projects will ultimately be recovered through the Public Utility Commission Transmission
Cost of Service Program (TCOS).
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its
vision. The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational
Excellence; Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly
Community; and Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support
multiple KFAs, this specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and
goal:

ARTICLE 20: FAILURE TO ACT
The failure of either Party at any one or more times to insist upon strict performance of the conditions and
terms of this Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to demand strict compliance.
ARTICLE 21: REMEDIES

21.6. In any action to enforce any portion of this Contract or related Order the prevailing party shall be
entitled to its reasonable attorney's fees and costs as authorized under Texas law. LCRA shall have
the right to set off any amounts owed it by Supplier under this Contract and deduct those sums from

21.C. Liquidated Damages. Supplier understands and agrees that the timely delivery of the Goods and
Ancillary Services is a material component of this Contract. The Parties have agreed to liquidate the
amount of damages resulting from Supplier's delay; the Parties agree that such damages which
might be incurred by LCRA as a result of Supplier's delay in performance are difficult to ascertain.
The Parties agree that if LCRA has been impacted by a significant project delay due to Supplier's late
Delivery, for each day of delay LCRA will assess liquidated damages at the daily rate of one half of
one per cent (0.5%a) of the price of the unit giving rise to such delay, up to a cap of five per cent (5%)
of the price of that unit. A grace period shall apply as follows: Liquidated damages for delay begin
accumulating on the first calendar day following the 20th day beyond the agreed upon delivery date.
Supplier commits to pay and LCRA agrees to accept such sum as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty in the event of late performance. These liquidated damages are a fair and reasonable esti-
mate of the damages to LCRA. Such amount shall be deducted by the LCRA from any payment due
Supplier.
ARTICLE 22: FORCE MAJEURE
22.A. The nonperformance or delayed performance by Supplier or LCRA of any obligation under the Con-
tract shall be excused if such nonperformance or delay is caused by an event beyond the control of

reasonably have been able to foresee such an event and failed to take measures to avoid the event.
Items beyond the control of the Parties may include, but are not limited to: acts of war, acts of a
public enemy, acts of domestic or foreign terrorism, natural disasters (including hurricanes, torna-
does and floods), strikes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions, riot or sabotage, and acts of civil or
military authority having jurisdiction. Routine weather in the vicinity of the Site shall not be consid-
ered a Force Majeure event unless so stated in an Order.
Goods Contract Page lE of 39 Rev. 8_01132015

22.B. Upon occurrence of a Force Majeure event, the affected party shall notify the other party, in writing,
of the reason for such delay, the estimated duration of the delay and the steps which can be taken
to minimize the delay. No Force Majeure event shall exist until such writing is received by the unaf-
fected party. Once a Force Majeure event occurs the date for performance of the Services shall be
extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay, provided Supplier or LCRA has
taken steps to proceed with the performance of the Contract and has made written notification of
such delay and of any Corrective Action taken. Should the effects of a Force Majeure event last for
an aggregate of six (6) months or longer, either party may terminate any Order issued under the
Contract.
22.C. The following delays shall not be deemed Force Majeure or constitute excusable delays in perfor-
mance by Supplier. The following shall not constitute a reason for extending the date for perfor-
mance of the Services:
22.C.1. Delays by subcontractors or by suppliers for reasons other than Force Majeure;
22.C.2. Delays in approval of documentation because of inadequate performance or unrealistic ap-
proval schedules;

tion regarding delivery to LCRA of all Deliverables in progress and all completed Deliverables.
23.C. In the event of a termination under this Article, LCRA shall pay for portions of Goods and Ancillary
Services completed and accepted by LCRA and materials purchased. LCRA shall also be responsible
for actual, documented costs and expenses incurred by Supplier in cancelling orders and obligations
incurred related to the Goods terminated. LCRA shall not be liable in connection with any termina-
tion under this Article for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, including
without limitation loss of anticipated future sales of Goods or Ancillary Services, anticipated profits,

If during the term of this Contract, Supplier makes any Prohibited Publication available to third parties without
first obtaining LCRA's written approval, the Parties agree that LCRA shall suffer irreparable harm from such
disclosure and LCRA may, at its sole discretion, immediately elect to (a) issue at Supplier's sole expense, or have
Supplier issue with LCRA Agent's prior approval, a retraction or correction of such Prohibited Publication, (b)
obtain an injunction to prevent Supplier from issuing additional Prohibited Publications, or (c) pursue other legal
or equitable remedies against Supplier that may be available to LCRA to redress the breach of this Article.

Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a contract through the Buy Board Cooperative
Purchasing Network Contract# 521-16 for the acquisition of one (1) Altec model AM60 Articulating Over-
center Aerial truck for $236,005 and one (1) Altec model TA60 Articulating Telescopic Aerial truck for
$236,948 for the Denton Municipal Electric Distribution Department; providing for the expenditure of
funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 6739 - awarded to Freightliner of Austin, in the amount
of $472,953). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (7-0).
BACKGROUND
This item is for the purchase of one (1) Altec model AM60 Articulating Over-center Aerial truck and one
(1) Altec model TA60 Articulating Telescopic Aerial truck, mounted on Freightliner model M2-106 chassis.
These trucks are approved fleet replacements for the Denton Municipal Electric (DME) Distribution
Department and were approved as part of the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year budget. These trucks will be used to
install and maintain electric poles throughout the City.
Fleet staff obtained three (3) quotes from prospective suppliers of this type of equipment (Exhibit 2). Two
quotes were from cooperative contracts and the third quote was retail price. All quotes provide for an
extended 36 month warranty which covers all parts, labor and travel time. The lowest quote was from
Freightliner of Austin on Buy Board Contract #521-16.
This purchase is considered a single source (Altec) due to increased savings in parts stocking, repair
familiarity, and operator training by standardizing the units (Exhibit 3).
Pricing obtained through the Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing Network has been competitively bid and
meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On February l, 2005, Council approved the interlocal with the Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing Network
(Ordinance 2005-034).
RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract for the purchase of one (1) Altec model AM60 Articulating Over-center Aerial truck
and one (1) Altec model TA60 Articulating Telescopic Aerial truck to Freightliner of Austin, in the
amount not to exceed $472,953.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Delivery of the Altec Aerial trucks will occur within 330 to 360 days after receipt of order.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The trucks will be funded from DME operating accounts 604294605.13553920 and 604295605.13553920
in the total amount of $472,953. The budget for two (2) AM60 model trucks was originally $235,000 each
or $470,000 total. DME opted to change one unit to a TA60, increasing the cost slightly. The additional
costs will be funded by DME's unallocated motor pool account. Requisition #137686 has been entered in
the Purchasing software system.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

City af Denton, Fleet Services has standardized to the purchase of Altec aerial bucket trucks for the
Electric and Traffic and Parks Departments. Altec Industries Inc. in St. Joseph, Missouri has a local
authorized service center in Waxahachie for repair and maintenance of all Altec products.
City of Denton Fleet Service technicians are not authorized to perform warranty repairs on Altec
aerial equipment to mitigate liability risks associated with the repair of this type of equipment. Fleet
does not currently perform electrical or hydraulic repairs on these units. To minimize down time, a
factory trained Altec field service technician is dispatched from a North Texas location to perform
repairs on site at various City locations.
Replacement parts are ordered and purchased thraugh our Genuine Auto Parts contract and
occasionally, directly From Altec Industries.
The use of factory authorized replacement parts and service from Altec Industries is in the best
interest of the Electric Department and City of Denton. I am requesting authorization to continue the
purchase and use of Altec Industries products and support services.

Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Donation
Agreement with Denton Independent School District ("DISD"), a political subdivision of the State Of
Texas, in compliance with Ordinance 2008-113; authorizing the donation of two (2) patrol cars to the DISD
for use in its Law Enforcement Technology Program; authorizing the donation of the equipment with an
estimated value greater than five hundred dollars ($500); and providing an effective date (File 6656-
Donation Agreement with Denton Independent School District).
BACKGROUND
This Agreement will allow the City of Denton to provide a donation of two (2) Ford Crown Victoria Patrol
Units to the DISD Advanced Technology Center, ensuring a sustainable method of disposal of these City
assets and a beneficial use for the DISD Advanced Technology Center. These units have exceeded their
useful life as patrol units and have been decommissioned, but are still functioning.
This agreement is mutually beneficial and each entity can achieve common objective relating to the public
safety and welfare of the residents. The Denton Police Department (DPD) and the DISD Advanced
Technology Center, Law Enforcement Technology Program have formed a partnership in recent years with
the goal of helping prepare high school students for a job in law enforcement. The program is taught by
retired and current law enforcement officers, most from DPD. The training actually mirrors DPD policies
and practices, so there is a potential benefit of local applicants being better prepared for police academy
training who would then be candidates for DPD and other local agencies. Classes include instruction on
traffic stops and deploying emergency calls from vehicles. The school plans to raise funds to restore the
vehicles and have an identifying "wrap" design so they are not confused as actual emergency vehicles.
The DISD Advanced Technology Center, Law Enforcement Technology Program agrees to only allow adult
instructors to operate the units for training and teaching purposes. The units will be maintained by DISD
Advanced Technology Center, and provided that the DISD Advanced Technology Center finds the units no
longer usable; an immediate destruction of the property shall be ordered.
The original cost of the units to the City of Denton was $60,62632. The estimated value of the units, if
sold at auction, is $2,000 each, for a total of $4,000.
In accordance with City Ordinance 2008-113, surplus property may be donated to another government
entity; however if the value of the surplus property is in excess of $500, City Council approval is required.
In accordance with the Texas Transportation Code 728, the vehicles have been stripped of the police
equipment before the transfer of sale or title is made by the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Donation Agreement between the City of Denton and the DISD Advanced Technology Center
for the two patrol units.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Units will be released to the DISD Advanced Technology Center, Law Enforcement Technology Program
within two (2) weeks of approval.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The two vehicles and equipment has an original cost value of $60,62632. The Fleet Department estimates
the value of the vehicles, if sold at auction, to be $2,000 each.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

Sponsorship Application Narrative
Texas Filmmakers Corporation (Thin Line Fest)
February 4, 2018
Organization's Statement of Purpose
To educate and engage our community through the exhibition of documentary films, music, and
photography.
Project Description
Thin Line Fest is a five-day media festival featuring documentaries film screenings, musical
performances, and photography galleries. General admission to Thin Line Fest is free once again
in 2018. Filmmakers, musicians, and photographers will come from all around the world to
participate in this year's festival. New in 2018 is the True Texas Travel short film category
presented by Texas Highways Magazine. This will culminate in a red carpet screening at Campus
Theatre of the top films in this category.
Project Goals / Objectives
The number one goal is to complete another successful year for the citizens of Denton. We are
an all-volunteer organization, and the only way we have been able to continue for eleven years
is by the support of our sponsors. Second is to deliver a quality brand experience for Denton
Municipal Electric. Third is to grow. Last year over ten thousand individuals attended a festival
event. If we include the photography gallery at Golden Triangle Mall that was open through the
summer then we add another five thousand. We are only scratching the surface of what is
possible. Fourth is to showcase the great people and places of the City of Denton. We have a lot
to offer and more people need to know that.
Explanation of how funds will be used
As the festival has expanded over the last ten years so has our budget. All money we raise goes
into the festival budget. No staff have ever been paid, and through local and regional
partnerships we benefit from over sixty thousand dollars of in-kind contributions. We can assign
your sponsorship to a specific part of the festival, for instance if you wanted to mostly be
associated with the music festival. Generally though sponsorship dollars go into the festival
general budget.
Identification and status of other funding requests for this project
We have received $2,640 from the Denton Benefit League.
We have received $500 form the Greater Denton Arts Council.
We have been awarded $16,242 from the City of Denton HOT Funds.
We have applied for a Texas Commission on the Arts grant.
All other funding comes from sponsorship and donations.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
Denton Municipal Electric
CM/ DCM/ ACM: Todd Hileman
DATE: March 6, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas providing for the schedule of
miscellaneous fees, deposits, billings and procedures for administrative services to city utilities customers
contained in Ordinance No. 2016-276; amending the provisions of the account connection and
reconnection charges; amending the provisions of the miscellaneous fees, charges and deposits; providing
for a repealer; providing for a severability clause; providing for an effective date. The Public Utilities
Board recommended approval (6-0).
BACKGROUND
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) was installed throughout Denton during the 2010 to 2015 period.
As smart meters were installed, there were less than 40 customers out of 53,000 that did not want the AMI
electric meter.
In August 2013, the Public Utility Commission of Texas issued PUCT 25.133 (Substantive Rules
Applicable to Electric Service Providers) which outlines the rules for opt-out fees that electric service
providers are allowed to charge. These fees are designed to cover the costs associated with the installation
of a non-standard meter, manual reading of the meter, and ongoing costs associated with non-standard
metering service including testing and maintenance. While DME's distribution system is not regulated
by the PUCT, their rules provide a level of guidance.
A survey of selected electric service providers indicates that the majority have adopted an AMI meter opt-
out program with varying fee levels. This agenda item recommends the adoption of an AMI opt-out rate
tariff for the City. The proposed Ordinance incorporates a proposed initial non-AMI meter installation
fee as well as monthly charges to recover expenses related to manual meter reading and billing. The
Public Utilities Board may also consider not adopting an opt-out policy which would mean all customers
will have an AMI meter installed. (A technical brief by the AMI system's communication's provider,
Trilliant, is attached to this report for information.)
The attached Ordinance also contains the Utility Customer Service Department's proposed amendment
to the provisions of the Miscellaneous Fee, Charges and Deposits section, Waiver of Service Deposits.
These changes are being made to match the language of the Credit and Collection Policies Ordinance
2018-016 approved by the Council on January 9, 2018 (18-073).
OPTIONS
l. No opt-out option -- customer must have an AMImeter
2. AMI opt-out option -- non-standard meter, manual meter reading, and associated fees
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the attached Ordinance containing fees for the AMI opt-out option and the
proposed Customer Service fees and changes.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The new opt-out fee schedule will go into effect upon approval by the Public Utilities Board and City
Council.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions�
The Public Utilities Board reviewed the proposed ordinance on January 22, 2018 and recommended
approval (6-0). City Council received a presentation from staff during the Work Session agenda on
February 27, 2018.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Funds collected under the Opt-Out Fee Schedule will be deposited into the Denton Municipal Electric's
Revenue Account 6000.XXXX.4510 for Miscellaneous Service Revenue.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Organizational Excellence
Related Goal: 1.5 Use technology to enhance efiiciency and productivity

commonplace devices. All of these devices, including wireless Smart Meters, are subject to US government
regulations to assure all devices are safe.
Extensive radio safety studies have been performed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United
States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), and the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Based on these various studies,
the FCC regulations specify radio output levels that are deemed safe for everyday exposure with no negative
health or safety impacts.
• All of Trilliant's SecureMesh Smart Meters and associated SecureMesh products are certified by the United
States FCC and Canadian Industry Canada, ensuring compliance with appropriate safety levels.
• Even if you were to continuously stand three feet away from a SecureMesh wireless Smart Meter, the
resulting radio exposure would be hundreds of times lower than the levels required by safety standards,
where those levels ensure no adverse health impacts.
� 1 '
All SecureMesh Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) devices, including SecureMesh Smart Meters, operate as radios in
the 2.4 GHz band, the same frequency band as used by cordless phones, Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth hands-free headsets,
and even microwave ovens.
In the same way that television or AM or FM radio signals are transmitted, a SecureMesh device generates radio waves
that are emitted by an antenna with a certain power level. The resulting radio waves propagate through the air until a
receiver — another SecureMesh device — intercepts a portion of the field and processes the received energy to recover the
desired information. The power levels used by SecureMesh devices (and other devices in the 2.4 GHz band) are much
lower than used for television or commercial radio transmissions.
Within the 2.4 GHz band, all SecureMesh NAN radios have been tested by an accredited laboratory to meet Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15.247 and Industry Canada RSS-210 regulations for unlicensed operation at
their respective transmit power levels and antenna gains. Similarly, all SecureMesh NAN radios have been tested by an
accredited laboratory to meet FCC and Industry Canada regulations for out-of-band emissions (i.e., radio emissions
outside the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band) as a Class B digital device, where those limits have been set to provide protection
against interference to other radio communications.
The limits established by the FCC and Industry Canada for unlicensed operation in the 2.4 GHz band are hundreds of
times less than the limits for maximum permissible exposure as set in the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology
(OET) Bulletin 65 ("Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields"). As explained in the FCC's OET Bulletin 56 ("Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential
Hazards of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields"), these guidelines reflect the best available research and have been
developed conservatively. More information can be found on the FCCs website, at http://www.fcc.qav/aet/rfs�fetv/.
Trilliant tech_brief SecureMesh_RF safety_100930.docx
TECHNICAL BRIEF: RF SAFETY OF TRILLIANT'S SECUREMESHTM WIRELESS SMART METERS
1 r, t„ - 1 ! 1 1!
The SecureMesh NAN radios operate in the 2.4 GHz band with a transmit power of 1 Watt (30 dBm), the allowed
maximum for unlicensed operation. By comparison, the transmission power of a GSM cellphone handset can be up to 2
Watts (33 dBm) in the 850 or 900 MHz band, while older analog cellphone handsets transmitted at up to 3.6 Watts
(35.6 dBm) in the United States.
The FCC's limit for maximum permissible exposure in the 2.4 GHz band is 1.0 mW/cm2 (as cited in OET Bulletin 65). This
value reflects the maximum power density (power per unit area) as seen at a given distance from the transmitter— as long
as the power density is less than this value, then exposure is permitted under FCC regulations is considered safe for an
indefinite period of time.
At a distance of �3 feet (1 meter) away from a SecureMesh NAN radio, the power density from the SecureMesh radio is
0.032 mW/cm2, more than 30 times less than the FCC's limit; at a distance of �10 feet (3 meters), the power density is
0.0035 mW/cm2, more than 280 times less than the limit. Given the typical locations of SecureMesh NAN radios --
mounted on poles at least 20 feet above ground or inside electric meters installed on the sides of buildings — most people
will rarely ever be this close to a SecureMesh radio.
Finally, it is worth noting that SecureMesh NAN radios are not transmitting continuously. SecureMesh NAN radios
observe a maximum transmit duty cycle of 10%. In other words, over a period of 1 second, the SecureMesh radios do not
transmit for more than �100 ms (or, equivalently, over a period of 1 hour, the SecureMesh radios are not transmitting for
more than �6 minutes). In practice, the actual transmit duty cycle of a typical SecureMesh NAN device is much less than
10% -- most deployed SecureMesh NAN devices typically transmit in bursts of a fraction of a second that total to only
several minutes of actual activity each day.
1�- 1�;
The electromagnetic fields emitted by SecureMesh devices are insignificant compared even to the levels to which we are
normally exposed in our daily lives because of our use of cellphones and Wi-Fi devices, or microwave ovens.
Accordingly, these devices are among the safest radios seen in our everyday life. Extensive testing of our radios and
rigorous regulation and certification by both US and Canadian government bodies ensures that no-one will be exposed to
unsafe radio transmissions from a Trilliant Smart Grid device or, for that matter, from any other radio device.

SUBJECT
Conduct the first of two readings of an ordinance of the City of Denton for a voluntary annexation
of approximately 0.30 acres of land generally located on the east side of Old Alton Road, south of
the intersection of Old Alton Road and Teasley Lane by the City of Denton, Texas.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Yolanda Vela Vorel, on behalf of the property owner, FBA Properties, has
submitted an annexation application to voluntarily annex approximately 0.30 acres of land.
The adj acent parcel is owned by the applicant and was recently rezoned from NRMU to CM-G for
the purpose of developing a vehicle repair facility (Z17-0017). The subject site and the adjacent
parcel are both part of the same lot. Once this site is annexed and zoned, it will become part of the
planned vehicle repair facility. (Please refer to Exhibit 3, Zoning Map.)
The proposed annexation meets the following criteria for annexation as listed in Section 35.3.14
of the Denton Development Code (DDC):
It will require a connection to City public services;
It is within the City's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity boundary for water, sewer,
and electric services;
In reviewing the proposed annexation, staff considered the following:
The ability of the city to provide infrastructure and public services equal to other
comparable areas inside the city limits.
• Water service is available from an 8-inch line located within the property. The nearest
Wastewater main is an 8-inch line located at the southern property line.
• Transportation improvements required as a result of the proposed development of this
site will be determined after trip generation calculations have been received and
reviewed.
• Any drainage improvements required in association with the development of this site
will be the responsibility of the Developer.
• Any improvements due to the impact of this development will be constructed at the
Developers expense.
• DME has an underground three phase 4/0 line along the frontage of the property.
• Solid Waste will add this property to existing routes when the applicant signs up for a
commercial service account.
• Policing of the subject site would comply with required response times.
• Fire and EMS services to the site would comply with required response times. Station
#6 is located 3 miles from the subject site.
2. The reliability, capacity, and future public cost, if any, of current and planned provisions
for community facilities, including but not limited to roads, drainage, and utilities.
The terms of the needed improvements/upgrades will be determined upon platting and
permitting and funding will be the responsibility of the developer.
3. The need and quality of land use and building controls.
The annexation of the subject property into the city will enable the use of development and
design standards in the DDC, minimizing the impacts of the proposed development on
adjacent neighborhoods.
4. Conformance with the Land Use Element of the City's comprehensive plan.
The subject property is designated as Community Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Plan.
The applicant is proposing to develop a vehicle repair facility on this site. Conformance
with the Land Use Element will be determined when the application for initial zoning is
submitted and reviewed.
5. Impact on the City, both current and long range, including at a minimum.
Anticipated impacts to the City will be minimal as noted in Items 1 to 3, above.
6. The property meets the minimum requirements for annexation in accordance with state
law.
The property complies with all minimum requirements for annexation as set forth by the
Texas Local Government Code as stated in Chapter 43, Subchapter C-1, Annexation
Procedure for Areas Exempted from Municipal Annexation Plan.
The tentative schedule for this annexation is as follows:
• January 9, 2018 - City Council meeting setting the 1 s� and 2nd public hearing dates and
authorizing the publication of notice of the public hearings - Complete
• February 6, 2018 — lst Public Hearing - Complete
• February 13, 2018 — 2nd Public Hearing - Complete
• March 6, 2018 — First Reading of the Annexation Ordinance
• March 7, 2018 — Publication of the Annexation Ordinance in the newspaper
• April 10, 2018 - Second Reading and Adoption of the Annexation Ordinance
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On October 17, 2017, the City Council approved a request to rezone the adjacent northern parcel
from NRMU to CM-G.
On January 9, 2018, the City Council adopted an ordinance setting the ls� and 2nd public hearing
dates and authorizing the publication of notice of the public hearings.
On February 6, 2018, the first of two public hearings was held for this site.
On February 13, 2018, the second of two public hearings was held for this site.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP

Todd Hileman
March 6, 2018
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal
corporation, for partial approval of a pre-qualified professional services list for project management,
Development Services, Roadways, and Traffic Signals and Street Lighting Design Services; and
providing an effective date (RFQ 6590).
BACKGROUND
In an effort to expedite capital project delivery, the Capital Projects Department advertised a request for
qualifications (RFQ) relating to professional services. In November of 2017, an RFQ was advertised for
professional services in seven categories including project management, development review, design of
roads, bridges and intersections, design of traffic signals and street lights, design of storm water
infrastructure, design of water infrastructure and design of wastewater infrastructure. A pre-submittal
meeting was held on November 16, 2017, with more than 50 engineering consultants represented. All
Statements of Qualification (SOQs) that were received by the submittal deadline of November 30, 2017,
are being reviewed by staff from multiple divisions and departments.
The RFQ process involves the review of 41 SOQs and the ranking of each firm in the categories they
submitted on. This process insures that not only are all consultants reviewed fairly and based on criteria
spelled out to each consultant in the original RFQ, but it also ensures that the City can use this RFQ
process for consultant selection and contract negotiation regardless of the project funding source (i.e. state
and/or federal funding).
The intent of this process is to utilize the entire list of qualified firms to maximize availability and
flexibility in selecting the appropriate firm for a project. As such, notes as to each firms strengths (i.e.,
large firm with general and specific capabilities for any project, small specialized firm focused on
elevated water tanks, etc...) are being identified in the review process so that we can utilize each firm in
such a way to ensure that the project is as successful as possible. This becomes the first litmus test to
determine which firm to negotiate a contract.
Due to the nature and format of the RFQ, several firms submitted that would not normally submit on a
transportation, water, wastewater or storm water RFQ because their firms are so specialized. We can
potentially cut down on some of the pass through markup that would normally be passed on to City when
these firms are subcontracted through a larger consultant. This also ensures that we (as the owner) get the
unfiltered summary of the smaller, specialized firm's design or comments.
A second scenario that the approval of the entire list avoids is the scenario of exclusion by lack of
selection. In other words, if we take only the top 5 or 10 firms in each category and we have a water
project with a transportation and wastewater component, the potential to limit the City's options to select
a single firm for a project as a whole may be impacted by inadvertently requiring the City to utilize three
separate firms based on the type of work For instance, if a project is initiated by the City that is primarily
a water project with limited transportation and wastewater participation, Firm A may be the best firm in
the water category, but was ranked number 11 in transportation and 12 in wastewater. They are qualified
to do the work, but they may not have been deemed the most qualified in two categories. This could
inadvertently cause the City to select multiple firms which would be more costly in delivery time, staff
expense and overall cost as the coordination between all three firms would be extensive. If we take all
firms in each category, it provides the maximum amount of flexibility to select a firm that is best suited
for the proj ect as a whole.
In regard to "short listing" or taking only the top five or ten highest ranked firms, the process in general
has also taken care of some of this by nature of some of the categories of work as we only had five firms
even submit for both project management and development review. For the design categories we had
nine firms submit for all five design categories, eighteen submit for all but traffic signals (which is not
uncommon), and the other twenty-three firms submitted on one or two related specialty design categories.
Of the nine that submitted qualifications for all categories, five firms submitted that the City regularly
contracts with (Freese & Nichols, Kimley-Horn, TNP, Transystems and Halff) and a few that were
unexpected. All nine are larger firms that will by and large subcontract some of the more specialized
work The eighteen firms encompass the same nine larger firms and quite a few other firms that are more
medium sized firms. One of the problems associated with "short listing" on an RFQ of this type is that
smaller firms may complain that they cannot break into work with the City if they do not get a chance.
By accepting the entire list, the City has the option of hiring some of the smaller firms and more
specialized firms for a project that is the right fit.
Accepting the entire list also gives the City the best chance at ensuring that resources do not get
overloaded by always negotiating with the top ranked firm, then the next, then the next and so on. The
City can utilize these consultant resources over a three year time span to best effectiveness by balancing
workloads appropriately between the consultants. For instance, the City currently has an inordinate
amount of work contracted through one design firm and that has staff concerned that this firm's ability to
deliver in the new environment may be compromised. By having a large pool of consultants, we can
select and negotiate contracts more effectively by having a number of consultants already pre-qualified to
do the work and the loss of productivity on multiple projects by engaging more consultants to ensure
successful, timely delivery of all projects.
In the end, each firm on the list is qualified to do the type of work submitted upon. Upon approval of the
RFQ, staff will negotiate each contract to the benefit of the City balancing quality, efficiency, and cost in
the analysis for each project. The City requires that each consultant not only submit a scope of work for
each contract negotiated, but also a level of service matrix detailing how much time the consultant
anticipates each task in the contract to take per person involved. This allows staff to negotiate the time
spent on each task with the consultant to make sure that all amounts (time and money) make sense. If the
City and the consultant cannot agree on the overall amount, the City move on to the next consultant to
gain the best possible contract for the City and the project.
Staff has completed the review of four (4) of the seven work categories advertised in the November RFQ
and the qualified firms (and their ranking) are included in Exhibit 2. The four (4) work categories staff
has completed review includes project management; development review; design of roadways, bridges
and intersections; and design of traffic signals and street lights. The remaining three (3) categories are
anticipated to be complete and come before City Council for approval in Apri12018.
Any qualified professional firm that submitted under this RFQ is eligible to receive contracts for
professional services that would go through the normal negotiation and council award process. It is
intended that this method of qualifying design consultants for a wide range of services required to deliver
current and future capital project delivery will be repeated every three (3) years and is eligible for use by
any City of Denton departments and divisions when these services are required.
Requests for Qualifications were sent to 1,036 prospective suppliers of this item. In addition, the RFQ
was placed on the Materials Management website for prospective respondents to download, and
advertised in the local newspaper. 41 SOQs were received for four (4) of the seven (7) disciplines. Firms
were allowed to submit SOQs for any or all of the work categories. The SOQs were evaluated based upon
published criteria including: identification and understanding of the City's requirements, past performance
and experience, qualifications of key personnel, and ability to meet schedules. The firms were ranked as
indicated in Exhibit 2.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of the qualified firm list for project management, development review, design of
roadways, bridges and intersections, and design of traffic signals and street lights work categories as
reviewed and ranked by staff.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This qualified firm list will remain active for three (3) years.
FISCAL INFORMATION
No funds are requested or required to be spent as part of this approval. Individual contracts will be
negotiated with the top ranked firms, and purchasing orders will be issued as needed.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its
vision. The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational
Excellence; Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly
Community; and Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support
multiple KFAs, this specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and
goal:

SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance regarding an amendment to the Rayzor
Ranch Overlay District to provide standards and criteria for the residential development within the Rayzor
Ranch Marketplace Residential Area. The Rayzor Ranch Marketplace Residential Area includes
approximately 40.7 acres generally located on the west side of North Bonnie Brae Street, approximately
1,400 feet north of West University Drive (US 380) in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. (Z18-
0001, Rayzor Ranch Marketplace Residential, Hayley Zagurski).
BACKGROUND
This request is to establish the residential design and development criteria for the 40 acres north of the
existing Rayzor Ranch Marketplace. The base zoning for the subject property is a split of Neighborhood
Residential 3(NR-3) and Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) Districts. The request
does not change the density or intensity of uses permitted under the base zoning but does provide design
and development criteria for the residential uses beyond what is currently provided in the Denton
Development Code (DDC).
The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District (RROD) was first created in 2007, and includes a total of 410 acres of
land located on both sides of US Highway 380 between I-35 and Bonnie Brae Street. The RROD is
intended to provide design criteria and development standards for the entire mixed-use development. The
majority of the current overlay standards have been in place since 2010. However, architectural,
landscape, and signage standards have not yet been established and incorporated into the ordinance for
two areas of the overlay district: the residential area north of the Marketplace (where Wal-Mart, Sams,
and Academy Sports are located) and most of the South Mixed Use District, which is primarily located
along Heritage Trail Drive and west of Bonnie Brae Street south of University Drive.
The Proposed Overlay Amendments as well as a full Staff Analysis of the included in the Exhibits.
OPTIONS
Approve as submitted.
2. Approve subject to conditions.
3. Deny.
4. Postpone consideration.
5. Table item.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed design and development criteria.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request [6-0].
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
A public hearing regarding the request was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on February
21, 2018. At the public hearing, the architect and engineer for the request presented a conceptual plan and
answered questions about the request. Three residents from the adjoining subdivision to the north spoke in
opposition to the request and asked questions about the proposed development and expressed concerns
about increased traffic on Bonnie Brae Street. Questions included the type of homes, whether a fence
would be provided on the northern side, whether the subdivision would be gated, and whether a
connection point was proposed into the adjoining subdivision to the north. Draft minutes from the
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting are provided in Exhibit 9.
Prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, three neighbors submitted email inquiries about
the request. Copies of these emails are included in Exhibit 7; however, no formal responses to the mailed
notifications were received as of the issuance of this report.

2017.
The subject property was incorporated into the Rayzor Ranch Overlay District in 2007. The base zoning
was established for the property as part of the 2002 City-wide rezoning.

Community; and Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support
multiple KFAs, this specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and

Z18-0001/Rayzor Ranch Marketplace Residential
City Council District 3
March 6, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance regarding an amendment to the
Rayzor Ranch Overlay District to provide standards and criteria for the residential development
within the Rayzor Ranch Marketplace Residential Area. The Rayzor Ranch Marketplace
Residential Area includes approximately 40.7 acres generally located on the west side of North
Bonnie Brae Street, approximately 1,400 feet north of West University Drive (US 380) in the

OWNER:
KD Partners, LLC
APPLICANT:
Hodges Architecture
BACKGROUND:
This request is to establish the residential design and development criteria for the 40 acres north
of the existing Rayzor Ranch Marketplace. The base zoning for the subject property is a split of
Neighborhood Residential 3(NR-3) and Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12)
Districts. The request does not change the density or intensity of uses permitted under the base
zoning but does provide design and development criteria for the residential uses beyond what is
currently provided in the Denton Development Code (DDC).
The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District (RROD) was first created in 2007, and includes a total of
410 acres of land located on both sides of US Highway 380 between I-35 and Bonnie Brae
Street. The RROD is intended to provide design criteria and development standards for the entire
mixed-use development. The majority of the current overlay standards have been in place since
2010. However, architectural, landscape, and signage standards have not yet been established
and incorporated into the ordinance for two areas of the overlay district: the residential area north
of the Marketplace (where Wal-Mart, Sams, and Academy Sports are located) and most of the
South Mixed Use District, which is primarily located along Heritage Trail Drive and west of
Bonnie Brae Street south of University Drive.
The request includes the following:

2. Design Standards.
a. Exhibit G4 to this ordinance sets forth the site design, landscaping, and
architectural standards for both the NR-3 and NRMU-12 portions of Subarea
1 of the Rayzor Ranch Marketplace."
4. Add design and development standards for the subject property referred to as Subarea 1
as provided in Exhibit G4.
If the requested development standards are approved, the applicant proposes to subdivide the
property to develop a maximum of 70 detached single-family residential units on the north side
of the property and a maximum of 230 attached single-family units on the southern portion of the
property. In addition to platting, a Site Plan would also be required to be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission for this residential development.

COMPATABILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND
USES:
The request does not include any change to the base zoning of the subject property. The existing
zoning is consistent with the zoning of surrounding properties, and provides a transition between
existing commercial development to the south and existing single-family development to the
north.
The intended residential development will be compatible with surrounding uses and generally
consistent with the type and density/intensity of development in the surrounding area.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The subject property is located within an area designated as "Moderate Residential" according to
the Future Land Use Plan in the Denton Plan 2030. This designation is primarily intended to
promote single-family housing on small lots, typical of Denton's more compact, established
single-family neighborhoods. The density of Moderate Residential should range between four to
twelve units per acre. Low-rise multifamily dwellings and townhomes may also be located in
these areas so long as they maintain a scale, style, and building orientation complementary of the
prevailing character of the area. This designation typically applies to areas that serve as a
transition between established single-family neighborhoods and mixed-use or commercial areas
that can accommodate greater density.
The overall density of the proposed development would be consistent with the "Moderate
Residential" designation. The type of residential development described in Exhibit C-4 would
also be consistent with this designation as it proposes materials, color palettes, and housing types
that are both consistent with the remainder of the RROD and that logically transition between the
regional-scale commercial development and the existing neighborhoods.
CONSIDERATIONS:
l. The request is for an amendment to the Rayzor Ranch Overlay District to provide standards
and criteria for the 40 acres area designated for residential development within the Rayzor
Ranch Marketplace. The proposed design and development standards are consistent with the
base zoning and the overall development style of the RROD.
2. The proposed design and development standards would result in a residential development
that is consistent with the existing development pattern in the area and that meets the intent
of the Future Land Use Plan for areas designated "Moderate Residential."
3. The proposed design and development standards are generally stricter in terms of
architectural details, building materials, and color palette than the existing City-wide
standards for single-family residential development contained in Subchapter 13 of the
Denton Development Code. The proposed standards do include reduced setbacks for the
NRMU-12 zoned attached single-family units. The reduced setbacks would allow buildings
to be brought closer to the streets to create a more walkable, urban feel on the south portion
of the property adjoining the Marketplace commercial development.
The proposed standards are also consistent in terms of material and color palette with the
standards for the commercial portions of the RROD.
4. Within the NRMU-12 zoned portion of the property, the proposed design and development
standards would allow for a"big house," which is defined by the RROD as "A type of
residential development where ten (10) or fewer dwelling units are located in a single
building which is intended to resemble a single large house. The dwelling units can be
vertically or horizontally integrated." However, the conceptual site plan provided as
Appendix 02 to Exhibit G4 does not identify the big house use; therefore, if the use were
proposed the conceptual plan would need to be revised.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it is compatible with the surrounding property and
is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 45 notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 112 courtesy notices were sent to physical addresses
within 500 feet of the subject property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle,
and signs were placed on the property. No formal responses to the mailed notifications were
received as of the issuance of this report. Several email inquiries were received, and have been
attached to the Notification Map.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification. Can you please tell me what the current zoning is?
I know it's residential, however, we (my neighbors and myself) are all very concerned about multi-family
(apartments, etc). If it's zoned single family residential, then we don't need to attend the meeting. That
would be great.
Thank you so much for your communications.

Subject: Re: Information on Z18-0001
Good afternoon,
Thank you for sharing your concerns.
This is a unique request in that the base zoning is not being modified; what is being proposed are additional
requirements on top of (and at times in place of) the requirements of the City-wide development code. Since
Rayzor Ranch is an overlay district, there are opportunities for some of the base zoning requirements as well
as the site design requirements to be modified so long as the intent of the Denton Development Code is met
or exceeded. Ultimately, it will be the City Council's decision as to whether this is the case.
In this case, the standards do not propose to alter the density limitations of the base zoning districts, and the
property will still be required to develop in accordance with the densities permitted by the base zoning. The
maps provided in the backup are purely conceptual. The unit counts listed on the "general uses" map are
strictly maximums, and do not necessarily reflect the number of units that would be developed there. For
example, the 70 detached homes is an approximation of the maximum possible unit count based on the
existing 16 acres of NR-3 plus the 3-4 acres of NRMU-12 that is proposed as detached single-family multiplied
by the 3.5 units per acre allowed under NR-3. This number of lots won"t necessarily be developed there;
however, due to the proposed amenity center, other possible community green spaces, and the necessary
streets.
This development still will be required to go through the platting process to subdivide the property into
individual lots and will also have to have a site plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. During
both of these processes, the proposal will be thoroughly vetted to make sure density requirements are met.
I hope this helps address your questions. Please feel free to give me a call tomorrow at 940-349-7785 if you
would like to discuss this further. Additionally, please let me know if you would like to formally go on the
record for this case either in support or opposition to the request.
Thank you,
Hayley Zagurski

Subject: Re: Information on Z18-0001
Hi Hayley,
I was looking at the information for Z18-OOOla changes and had some questions/comments..
The information claims this is not a rezoning request and that densities will be kept with the existing NR-3 and
NRMU-12 zones, but from looking at the information it appears they'll be fiddling with the densities.
"A. In Subarea 1 of the Rayzor Ranch Marketplace, the City rules and regulations applicable to the
development of property located within the NR-3 and NRMU-12 zoning districts are applicable to the
respective areas shown on Exhibit B, except as otherwise provided bv this Overlav District and further
restricted or excepted as follows"
"Approximately 16 acres of the subject property has a base zoning of NR-3 District, and the remaining
24 acres of the subject property has a base zoning of NRMU-12 District."
"If the requested development standards are approved, the applicant proposes to subdivide the
property to develop a maximum of 70 detached single-family residential units on the north side of the
property and a maximum of 230 attached single-family units on the southern portion of the property. "
If this is claiming that it's not rezoing, can they really define the density within this change to the overlay?
If you look at the existing zoning map vs. the proposed "General Use" map, you'll see the NR-3 zoning gets
reduced by the amenity center and a portion of the high-density SF attached homes. If they build out to the
suggested maximum 70 SF detattached homes in the area shown, I don't understand how they're going to keep
the 3.5 homes per acre within the NR-3? Even if the sliver of land south of Thunderbird somehow offsets the
amenity center and some of the attached homes within the NR-3 zone, the number of homes on 16 acres for
NR-3 would be only 56 homes and not 70 homes. At a 70-home build, that acutally surpases the NR-4
requirement.
I understand that these are preliminary drawings, but I feel that the limits are there for a reason if they're
allowed to slip this early in the process, there's a good chance that the developer will want to slip them even
more.

Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing. Deborah Viera, Assistant Director of Environmental
Services, provided a presentation regarding this request. She provided feedback as to why the
changes are needed.
Commissioner Rozell questioned MS4, he stated the four (4) items listed all appear to be
economical benefits to the City. He questioned if the intent is to protect the economic benefits or
the actual habitats. Viera stated she did not previously go into detail regarding the six (6) basic
analysis for the criteria. She provided detail regarding those six items and how they preserve the
habitats and not just the economic benefit for the City.
Commissioner Sullivan questioned if there are any provisions that would render all or a portion of
a property as unusable or undevelopable, which would give benefit to the property owner. Viera
stated there is a way to restrict land rights, there could be a conservation easement to prevent
development.

Chair Strange requested clarification regarding Section 17.7.b3, regarding standard for filling
undeveloped floodplains. Viera stated the limitation on the fill is intended to be within the
floodplain.
The Commission discussed Alternative ESA plans, water related habitats, interactive map
clarification and definition clarification.

Planning Report
Z17-0027b / Pecan Creek Crossing
City Council District 3
March 6, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider adopting an ordinance to rezone approximately 2 acres from
a Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) District to a Community Mixed Use
General (CM-G) District. The subject property is located at 1101 W. University Drive, in the
City of Denton, Denton County, Texas (Z17-0027b, Pecan Creek Crossing, Shandrian Jarvis
Ugwoke)
OWNER:
Rayzor Inv. Ltd.
APPLICANT:
Worth Williams
BACKGROUND:
The request is for a rezoning in order to develop the subject property with restaurant and retail
uses. The existing NRMU- 12 district is primarily a moderate- to high-density residential zoning
district. The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject property from the less intense NRMU-12
district to the more intense CM-G district, which permits a wide range of commercial uses. A
complete list of permitted uses is provided in the Comparison of Permitted Uses Table.
SITE DATA:
The 2-acre subject property is located along W. University Drive, between Malone and Fulton
streets. It is a part of a larger 4.4 acre tract of unplatted land that is currently undeveloped. There
are floodplain and environmentally sensitive areas found on the southwest corner of the site.
The property has
and Fulton streets
by the Mobility �
sidewalks.
approximately 250 feet of frontage on W. University Drive between Malone
This segment of W. University Drive is classified as a Primary Major Arterial
lan and is currently improved as a six-lane divided roadway with curbs and

Commercial
Southwest: South: Southeast:
Zoning: NR-3 District Zoning: NR-3 and NRMU-12 Zoning: NRMU-12 District
Use: Undeveloped/Floodplain districts Use: Office and Commercial
Use: Undeveloped/Floodplain
COMPATABILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND
USES:
The purpose of the CM-G District is to provide the necessary shopping, services, recreation,
employment and institutional facilities that are required and supported by the surrounding
community. This zoning is typically located in areas with easy access, such as along major
roadways or the intersection of local roads and arterial streets. Most commercial and institutional
use are permitted by right. A complete list of permitted uses is provided in the Comparison of
Permitted Uses table.
The requested CM-G District would be a continuation of the CM-G Districts to the north and
east of the subject property. It would also permit restaurants and other uses that are generally
compatible with the existing land use pattern in this area and ensure a cohesive development
pattern along the W. University Drive corridor.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Per the Future Land Use Map in Denton Plan 2030, the subject property is designated as
Commercial. This designation applies to concentrations of commercial uses, including regional,
community, and neighborhood shopping centers. Such properties may not be expected to
undergo redevelopment or a change in use over the Plan horizon, and the immediate areas in
which they are located may not be suitable for the introduction of mixed-uses. Future
commercial areas are maintained to accommodate existing viable commercial uses, as well as
commercial uses that may not be appropriate to be located in a mixed-use format, such as auto-
oriented uses, and stand-alone commercial uses to serve outlying areas of the city. The amount of
commercial development should be balanced appropriately with existing and proposed
residential land use.
The existing NRMU-12 zoning is not generally compatible with the Commercial Future Land
Use designation, given that the commercial land use category typically excludes residential uses.
Since the subject property and adjacent NRMU-12 zoned parcels have remained undeveloped,
this may further indicate that the NRMU-12 district may not be the most appropriate zoning
district along this high-traffic commercial corridor.
CONSIDERATIONS:
l. The applicant has indicated that the request is to rezone from NRMU-12 District to CM-
G District to facilitate the development of retail and restaurant uses on the subject
property. The intended restaurant use is not permitted within the current zoning district.
2. The purpose of zoning is to establish allowable land uses, density, and character for a
particular area. Any combination of uses and densities allowed by the approved zoning
district could be constructed on the site. If this rezoning request is approved, all uses
permitted under the CM-G District could be developed on the property. These uses are
still considered to be commercial, and they would fit within the character of this area of
the City, which is currently developed with a mix of commercial uses. In areas where the
CM-G District would abut less intense uses, the City's compatibility buffer requirements
would be enforced to ensure that the new development is sensitive to the surrounding
built environment.
3. Section 35.3.4 of the DDC states that an application for a rezoning may be approved
based on the following conditions: a) The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future
Land Use element of the Denton Plan and b) The proposed rezoning facilitates the
adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks, other public
requirements, and public convenience.
The requested CM-G District conforms to the Future Land Use Plan for this area, which
designates the tract for commercial use. It is not anticipated that this rezoning would
impede adequate provision of public infrastructure; however, additional analysis will be
conducted at the platting and site development phases to determine impacts on
surrounding infrastructure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it meets the criteria for approval established in
Section 35.3.4 of the Denton Development Code; specifically it is compatible with the
surrounding property and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 11 letter notices were sent to property
owners within 200 feet of the subject property, 26 courtesy notices were sent to physical
addresses within 500 feet of the subject property, a notice was published in the Denton Record
Chronicle, and signs were placed on the property. One letter in support of and one letter in
opposition to the request have been received to date from the property owners within 200 feet of
the subject property.
