CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
On behalf of staff, I respectfully submit to you the FY 2009-10 Annual Program of Services. The preparation of this
budget has been more challenging due to fluctuations in several of our key resources and an overall weak
economic condition. However, I believe this budget reflects a steadfast commitment to deliver quality service
through carefully planned resource allocation in our various operating funds. An important component of
resource allocation is delivering services and programs that are priorities for our citizens. The City conducted a
citizen's survey in December 2008 and used the results to program support in a variety of departments, such as
streets and code enforcement. In addition, we are proud to have energized our City employees with a renewed
focus on providing superior customer service.
The overall FY 2009-10 budget is $563.7 million and includes 1,314.56 full-time equivalent positions (FTEs). A
comprehensive summary of the budget is provided in the Budget Overview section of this document. The key
elements of the adopted budget include the following:
No tax rate increase. The total tax rate is recommended to remain at $0.66652 per $100 of assessed
valuation. Of this amount, $0.44765 is provided for operations and maintenance and $0.21887 is
provided for debt service.
No base rate increases for our Electric, Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste Utility customers.
A combined net increase of 6.18 FTEs for all funds.
Increased emphasis on core services such as Police, Code Enforcement, Planning and Development,
and Parks.
An increase in Franchise Fees for utilities from 4 to 5%.
Approximately $3.7 million in savings has been achieved from the previous forecast of expenditures. Due
to these efforts, the FY 2009-10 General Fund adopted budget increased by 2.1% over the prior year
adopted budget.
The FY 2009-10 adopted budget has been developed within the context of a five-year financial plan. The
purpose of this approach is to provide a long-term perspective for decisions in the coming fiscal year. While
there are many assumptions within this long-term plan, it is possible that it will be necessary to increase the tax
rate in FY 2010-11 in order to maintain the General Fund reserve level within the policy target range by the fifth
year of the plan. It is also possible, however, that a future tax increase will not be needed or that the increase will
be lessened. Furthermore, within future forecasts, the City will need to achieve a more optimal balance in
General Fund revenues and expenditures to reduce the dependency on the use of fund balance.
In addition, planned increases in rates for the utilities are outlined in each fund's long-term plan. Because of
changes in our business and funding needs, it will be necessary to continually reassess and revise these
assumptions annually as the City moves through the five-year plan. The details of the long-term plan for the
General Fund and the Utility Funds and their assumptions are contained in the Financial Summary section of this
document.
I sincerely thank the members of the Denton City Council for their hard work and dedication to the citizens of
Denton. The input of the City Council and Public Utilities Board has been invaluable in the preparation of the
2009-10 Budget, Capital Improvement Program, and Five -Year Financial Forecast. Appreciation is also expressed
to members of the professional staff, particularly in the Finance Department for their diligence in the preparation
of the proposed budget and program of services.
In the next few years the City is expected to face challenges associated with the overall downturn in the
economy. However, in the long term, Denton is expected to grow and flourish. While exciting, this growth will also
prove to be challenging for providing quality cost effective services. Fortunately, Denton has a very capable and
competent staff that I believe is up to the task of managing and delivering the very diverse affairs of the City
government. Moving forward, I ask for your insight, patience and support; in return, I offer you and the citizens of
Denton the unwavering dedication of City staff. Together, we will ensure that Denton continues to serve our
citizens with distinction.
Sincerely,
George C. Campbell, City Manager

READER'S GUIDE TO THE
2009-10
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
(OPERATING BUDGET)
The Readers Guide provides an overview of the City of Denton's budget process and budget
documents. The City of Denton has prepared a budget designed to meet the highest standards of
performance in municipal budgeting. This document provides a summary of all budgeted funds,
including both revenue and expenditure summaries. Major budget documents, the budget process,
and organization of the budget itself are described below.
MAJOR BUDGET DOCUMENTS
The City of Denton's budget process includes the production of five key documents. It is important to
understand the timing and purpose of these documents in order to fully understand the process itself.
1. The Budget Instruction Manual - February
Prior to budget development and training of departmental support staff, the Budget
Instruction Manual is drafted and completed in February. This document serves as a
development guide and includes sections on annual budget highlights and specific
development instructions, as well as, appendices with rate calculations, format examples,
and supplemental forms.
2. Long -Range Financial Forecast- March -July
A workshop is held in April with the City Council to discuss the preliminary Long -Range
Financial Forecast for the city. After this initial meeting, staff prepares a five-year forecast
to address key service areas. The Long -Range Forecast is then presented to the City
Council in June as additional information becomes available. The forecast is finalized at the
end of July and included in the proposed budget document.
3. The Budget Overview - Late July
The Budget Overview is submitted to City Council in late July as a part of the proposed
budget. This report summarizes and identifies key issues with regard to revenues and
expenditures for the coming year.
4. The Proposed Budget - Late July
The proposed budget is submitted to City Council in late July of each fiscal year. This
document represents a balanced version of departmental budget requests versus
projected revenues. The proposed budget is a product of policy as expressed by the City
Council and is prepared by the City Manager.
5. The Adopted Budget- Late September
The adopted budget represents a modified version of the proposed budget after public
hearings and City Council review in August/September. Any changes deemed necessary
by City Council to funding levels or revenue projections are reflected in the adopted
budget. Revisions may also be made to reflect any updates to budget information.

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
THE BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Denton uses a program -oriented budgeting process. Each budgeting unit or division is
given a "baseline" funding level based upon the previous year's funding level. Any funding request
that represents new expenditures and programs, or that is in excess of adjusted baseline funding, must
be submitted as a separate request or "package."
1. Budget Training for Support Staff/Budget Guideline Review
February is the time when existing budget guidelines, procedures, and forms are reviewed.
Changes may be made to the budget process in order to make budget development
more efficient and address format changes.
Preliminary budget training for departments is available prior to budget kickoff. During
preliminary training, staff is informed of budgeting concepts and the budget process, as
well as, given a quick introduction to the City's budget forms.
During budget kickoff, departments receive the budget manual so that they may have
specific instructions and a review of any changes to the budget process.
2. Long -Range Financial Forecast
A workshop is held each April with the City Council to discuss the preliminary Long -Range
Financial Forecast for the city. After this initial meeting, staff refines the forecast to address
key service areas. The recommended version of the forecast is included in the proposed
budget document that is submitted to the City Council in July.
3. Revenue Projection
The budget revenue projections for the new fiscal year begin early in the current fiscal year.
The projections are made by the departments responsible for the revenues with help from
the Finance Department staff. Projections are based upon consultations with state and
local agencies, trend analysis, anticipated changes in the local and regional economy,
and discussions with directly associated staff members. Although revenue projections are
prepared early in the budget process, the budget revenue analysis continues with
departmental budget development and extends until the budget is adopted based upon
any new information.
4. Proposed Budget Development
During budget development, the Finance Department staff work with departments to
analyze requests, provide advice, and lend assistance. Budget requests are based upon a
baseline funding level, and any additional funding is made in the form of supplemental
requests.
5. Proposed Budget Analysis/Compilation
Once division and departmental budget requests are completed, the Finance Department
reviews and compiles a preliminary draft of departmental budgets to present to the
Management Team, which is comprised of the City Manager and Assistant City Managers.
Next, a total recommended funding level is determined from both baseline and proposed
supplemental packages. At this time, the funding level is weighed against available
resources. A tax rate increase may or may not be recommended depending upon City
Council program priorities and issues previously expressed in the budget process.

6. City Council Budget Study
The proposed budget, including the Budget Overview, is compiled as soon as possible after
final appraised property value and other data are received. This report highlights and
summarizes funding requirements, major changes in programs, and alternatives for funding.
A budget work session is held with the City Council to review and discuss the proposed
budget. Discussions and study may follow at subsequent work sessions until budget
adoption.
7. Public Hearing/Budget Adoption
A public hearing on the budget and two public hearings on the tax rate (if necessary) are
held in September prior to final budget consideration. At the public hearings, citizens may
make formal comments concerning the proposed budget and tax rate.
Budget adoption occurs in September after City Council deliberations and the public
hearings. City Council may take action to modify the proposed budget. The City Council
also adopts a tax rate to support adopted funding levels. Pursuant to City Charter, the
proposed budget as submitted by the City Manager becomes the adopted budget if no
City Council action is taken before the end of the fiscal year, September 30.
8. Compilation of Adopted Budget/Budget Maintenance
An adopted budget is compiled and published during the first months of the new fiscal
year. The adopted budget in the form of an amended proposed budget is available for
public inspection in October.
Budget maintenance is a year-round activity of the organization. Spending controls consist
of budget holds, position control reviews, and budget transfer authorizations for
unbudgeted expenses. Additional spending control mechanisms include monthly review of
expenditures by the Finance Department.
During the budget process, departments make revenue and expenditure estimates for the
current year.
Finally, program goals, objectives, and measures are evaluated during budget
development to determine effectiveness of program activities and levels of appropriate
funding for subsequent years.
ORGANIZATION OF THE BUDGET
Included in the Financial Summary section is a schedule entitled "Projected Appropriable Fund
Balances." This schedule provides the projected appropriable fund balances anticipated at the end
of each fiscal year. The 2009-10 fiscal year-end fund balance is based on proposed 2009-10 revenue
and expenditures. This information will be most helpful in determining whether fund balances are too
high or too low with regard to goals set forth by the City Council. The General Fund Revenue
Summary in the Financial Summary section describes the major revenue categories for the City of
Denton, as well as, the various individual sources of those revenues.

BUDGETARY POLICIES
The City of Denton has developed administrative policies, which govern the formulation and
administration of the annual budget. These administrative policies are incorporated within the City's
Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual.
FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
The financial structure of the budget is organized by funds. A fund is generally defined as a fiscal and
accounting entity which has its own self -balancing set of accounts for recording cash and other
financial resources, as well as, any liabilities or residual equities or balances. Normally, funds are
segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. However, when appropriate, funds are
made up of departments. The two types of funds utilized in this budget are Governmental and
Proprietary. The specific funds which make up the Governmental Fund type are: General Fund,
Recreation Fund, General Debt Service Fund, Tourist and Convention Fund, Police Confiscation Fund,
Traffic Safety Fund, Non -Airport Gas Wells Fund, Airport Gas Wells Fund, Parks Gas Well Fund, Tree
Mitigation Fund, Public Education Grant (PEG) Fund, and McKenna Trust Fund. The Proprietary Fund
types are: Electric Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Materials Management
Fund, Fleet Services Fund, Technology Services Fund, Risk Retention Fund, and the Health Insurance
Fund. Each of the above -mentioned funds operates separately and independently from one another;
therefore, they are budgeted separately and include separate financial statements.
BUDGETED FUNDS
The City of Denton's budget consists of various funds. Each fund represents a specific function and
maintains individual objectives. The City of Denton's budget includes the following funds:
Genera► Fund -The General Fund reflects the City's general service operations such as public
safety, libraries, parks and the Aquatic Center. The General Fund's two major revenue
sources are sales and ad valorem taxes.
Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to record and control the accumulation of
resources for payment of general obligation long-term debt principal and interest. The City
issues debt to acquire or construct capital assets such as roads or parks for the general
benefit of Denton citizens. Resources include an applicable portion of the ad valorem tax
levy and related interest income usable from debt service.
Special Revenue Funds -Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the receipt of
specific revenue sources that are restricted for expenditures for a specified purpose.
Included in the special revenue funds are: the Recreation Fund, Tourist and Convention
Fund, Police Confiscation Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, Non -Airport Gas Wells Fund, Airport Gas
Wells Fund, Parks Gas Well Fund, Tree Mitigation Fund, Public Education Grant (PEG)Fund,
and McKenna Trust Fund.
Recreation Fund - The Recreation Fund is used to account for the Parks and Recreation
programs, such as children's programs and recreation center programs, which are self-
supporting.

Tourist and Convention Fund -This fund reports the receipt and distribution of the City's
Hotel Occupancy Tax which is levied at 7% of room rental rates. Each October the City
Council enters into contracts with various organizations that will promote tourism and the
convention and hotel industry in Denton.
Police Confiscation Fund - The Police Confiscation Fund is used to record the receipt
and expenditure of confiscated contraband that is used in the commission of a variety
of criminal offenses. Expenditures from this fund are allocated to the Police Department
for materials, supplies and operations costs.
Traffic Safety Fund - The Traffic Safety Fund is used to record the receipt of citations from
red light camera violations. Revenues from this fund are used for materials to enhance
traffic safety operations in the Police Department and Traffic Department.
Non -Airport Gas Wells Fund - The Non -Airport Gas Wells Fund is used to record the
receipt of royalty, pooling, tax, and lease revenue related to gas wells. Expenditures
from this fund will be used for projects with no ongoing costs.
Airport Gas Wells Fund - The Airport Gas Wells Fund is used to record the receipt of
royalty, pooling, tax, and lease revenue related to gas wells. Expenditures from this fund
will be used to fund Airport -related projects.
Parks Gas Well Fund - The Parks Gas Well Fund was established to record the receipt of
restricted gas well revenues on park property. Expenditures from this fund will be used
for park system projects.
Tree Mitigation Fund - The Tree Mitigation Fund is used to purchase, plant, and maintain
trees on public property, to preserve wooded property that remains in a naturalistic
state in perpetuity, to perform and maintain a city-wide tree inventory and to educate
citizens and developers on the benefits and value of trees.
Public Education Grant (PEG) Fund - The PEG Fund provides for the acquisition of
production equipment, capital and other lawful PEG purposes. PEG fees are remitted to
the city on a quarterly basis from cable subscribers.
McKenna Trust Fund - The McKenna Trust Fund was established by George McKenna in
1959. One half of the net income from this fund is distributed to Cook Children's Hospital
and one half of the net income is distributed to the McKenna Park Trust Fund for use only
in maintaining, developing, preserving, and improving the George McKenna Park in the
City.
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise funds are used to account for governmental activities that are
similar to those found in private businesses. The City budget includes Electric, Water,
Wastewater, and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds. Each fund reflects the services denoted in
the title of each fund. The major revenue source for these enterprise funds is the rate
revenue generated from the customers who receive the services provided.
Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods
or services provided by one department to another department within the same
government organization. Financing is based on reimbursement of actual costs. The internal
service funds are: Fleet Management, Technology Services, Materials Management, Risk
Retention, and Health Insurance. Each internal service fund listed is funded through
payments from various City departments for the actual services received from the specific
fund.

Fleet Management Fund - The Fleet Management Fund accounts for the maintenance
and repair of the City's vehicle and equipment fleet.
Technology Services Fund - The Technology Services Fund provides computer services
such as programming, support, training, and maintenance of the City's computer
resources and telephone maintenance.

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

FY 009Budget
The City of Denton maintains a General Fund reserve balance for emergencies, and over the
past several years, the reserve level target has been increased to provide additional stability
and flexibility for the organization. Previously, the reserve level target was established at 15% of
budgeted expenditures (approximately 60 days of operating expenditures). However, after
discussing this issue at length the City Council has recommended maintaining a fund balance
level of 12-15% instead of establishing a set percentage. In this way, the City will be able to
maintain budget flexibility in responding to fluctuations in economic cycles that can arise in the
future.
The estimated ending reserve balance of $21,846,651 at the end of FY 2008-09 represents
approximately 24.5% of expenditures and is higher than the budgeted goal of 12-15%. This
balance, however, is expected to decline over the next few years as detailed in the five-year
financial forecast. For FY 2009-10, we anticipate using $3.9 million in reserves for the General
Fund budget. While the fund balance level is projected to fall below the 12% threshold in the fifth
year of the financial forecast, it is anticipated that future revenue increases or expenditure
reductions will be made to avoid this occurrence. Below is a listing of the ending fund balances
for the past two years, a projected balance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and
the projected balance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

Property Tax
The largest revenue source in the General Fund is ad valorem tax. In the FY 2008-09 Budget, the
City experienced a 3.31 % increase in certified taxable values. This was the smallest increase in
values since the 1998 tax year.
For FY 2009-10, certified taxable values continued to grow, but at a considerably lower rate than
in past years. In the previous five-year forecast, it was anticipated that the appraisal growth
would have been 4% for FY 2009-10. The actual increase, however, was just 0.58% over the 2008
certified taxable value. A combination of factors contributed to this relatively flat increase in
values from the previous assumption level.
First, a change of particular importance was the loss of the City's largest tax payer, Denton
Presbyterian Hospital. The hospital received tax exemption status for the 2009 tax year, causing a
reduction of approximately $107 million, or 1.7% in appraised value. This resulted in the
combined loss of $715,000 in revenue for the City ($480,000 for the General Fund and $235,000
for the Debt Service Fund).
Second, the overall weak economy has affected the number of foreclosures in the City, thus
impacting the values of all property on the tax roll. The value of existing property on the tax roll
has decreased by $242 million, or 3.8%. If it were not for the taxable value of new property
added to the tax roll, approximately $279 million, the City would have faced a reduction in total
appraised value.
Lastly, another adjustment in our values is the increase in the Over-65 exemption. Currently, the
exemption level is $25,000. The City Council has approved an increase in this exemption
category in $5,000 increments over the next 5 years, until a $50,000 exemption level is reached.
The impact of this exemption increase is programmed into the five-year financial plan.
Below is a 10-year history on certified assessed values and tax rates.

Sales Tax
The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is sales tax receipts. In FY 2008-09, sales
tax estimates started to decline in the second and third quarter of the fiscal year. Due to this, the
estimate is projected to be $21,262,423, nearly a 1.2% decline from the budgeted amount.
The FY 2009-10 Budget estimates sales tax collections will be $21,475,047, 1% above the
estimated amount in FY 2008-09. In prior financial forecasts, it was estimated that the City would
see a 5% growth annually in sales taxes. Because of the slowing economy and an apparent
decrease in consumer spending, we remain cautious on predicting substantial increases in this
revenue source. Because of this, the growth estimates have been adjusted to 2% in the five-year
financial plan after FY 2009-10. Below is a 10-year history on sales tax collections.

Franchise Fees
Nearly 15% of the General Fund's revenues are related to franchise fees. Typically assessed as a
percentage of gross revenues, the purpose of the franchise fee is to provide compensation to
the City in return for allowing utilities to access the City's right-of-way. The FY 2009-10 Budget
includes $12.6 million in franchise fees from various utilities operating in the City, including city -
owned utilities. In FY 2008-09, the gas franchise fee was increased from 4% of gross revenues to
5%. In FY 2009-10, the city -owned utility franchise fee increased from 4% to 5% of gross revenues.
The purpose of this increase is to align the city -owned utility franchise fee with the amount
charged to outside utilities. In addition, the increased franchise fee will provide compensation
to the General Fund for maintenance of the City's streets and rights of way. This increased
franchise fee is anticipated to generate an additional $1.7 million for the General Fund in FY
2009-10.

With the downward trend in the economy occurring shortly after the FY 2008-09 budget was
adopted, the City decided to reconsider some supplemental package options related to
personnel in the General Fund. Of the 22 positions recommended to be added, only 10 were
filled. This translated to a savings of approximately $1.1 million. In addition, fuel was budgeted in
FY 2008-09 to be higher than actual market prices experienced, resulting in a savings of
approximately $425,000.
In planning the FY 2009-10 budget, with the recent downward trend on some of our major
revenue sources, the City has attempted to hold expenditures at a relative level to the FY 2008-
09 budget. As a result, we have re-evaluated funding in each department with an emphasis on
maintaining current service levels. The FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget includes a 2.1 % increase in
the General Fund overall expenditures from the prior year adopted budget. However, as part of
this process, approximately $3.7 million in reductions were also made in an attempt to continue
to provide quality and effective services. The details of the program enhancements and
expenditure reductions are detailed in the below sections.
Two of the highest cost categories within the General Fund expenditures are compensation and
benefits. Of the overall FY 2009-10 General Fund expenditures budget, approximately 73% is
24
DENTON SERVICE
Whatever* It *Takes!
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
related to these categories. One major cost category within benefits is the City's contribution
toward employee health insurance. A discussion on health insurance costs is provided under the
Health Insurance Fund section.
Compensation
The City of Denton's compensation program focuses on three key areas: rewarding employees
based on responsibility, rewarding employees based on performance and defining
developmental tracks for positions. Below is a summary of compensation increases for non -civil
service General Fund employees over the past five -years:
*New Compensation and Classification Study Implemented
The 2008-09 five-year forecast projected a 4% merit increase for non -civil service employees.
Identical merit increases were programmed each year of the five-year forecast. However, due
to an expected decline in the General Fund's major revenue sources of ad valorem and sales
tax, the compensation increases previously planned have been revised.
The City is committed to continuing the spirit of the compensation plan and the FY 2009-10
budget includes a lump -sum 2% increase to all non -civil service employees. The lump sum
payment will be tied to performance but is not programmed as a permanent addition to base
pay in 2009-10. In the five-year forecast, the 2% merit is included in base pay for each year
beginning in FY 2010-1 1.
For police and fire civil service personnel, normally programmed step increases will be
implemented in FY 2009-10. Due to the fact that existing meet and confer agreements with
police and fire employee associations expire in December 2009, the City met with the
associations to establish new agreements. The meet and confer agreements were approved by
the City Council in September, and the FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget includes the same lump -sum
2% increase for civil services employees.
As stated previously, due to the economic downturn and subsequent lower than anticipated
revenue, the City's ability to fund normal expenditure increases and new requests became
challenging. The City's overall goal is to continue to provide quality services. With this in mind,
City Administration's task was to balance the organizational needs with the available resources.
To achieve this balance, expenditure reduction options were requested from all General Fund
departments of 5%. These reduction options were provided in 1 % increments to illustrate how a
25

department's budget would be impacted at each percentage reduction level. In addition, City
Administration requested reductions in travel and training for the General Fund.
The adopted budget includes approximately $1.1 million in the following reductions to General
Fund service categories. In addition, the City is forming an efficiency team to work to identify
future amounts of savings or revenue enhancements for the organization. In recognition of this
approach, an additional $500,000 in savings is projected in FY 2010-1 1.

In determining where to program resource priorities for the FY 2009-10 budget, City
Administration referred to the community's responses from the December 2008 citizen's survey.
The goal for these enhancements is to align resources within key areas of programming and
services, as expressed by our citizens. Detailed below are the new program enhancement
recommendations.
New Program Enhancements: General Fund
The FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget includes a total of $668,279 in General Fund resources for new
programming enhancements and personnel. In addition, $3,653,450 is provided from other funds
to directly benefit operations. The breakout of funding sources and enhancements are detailed
in the following sections.
Streets
According to results from the City's 2008 citizen survey, street maintenance is ranked as a top
priority. Asphalt and other construction materials relevant to the Street Department continue to
rise. Capital Project Fund interest income will be used to supplement the costs for these materials
for this department.
Transportation and Municipal Airport
The City is nearing completion of a joint transportation initiative with the Denton County
Transportation Authority (DCTA) to bring rail service to Denton in 2010. In anticipation of support
needed for transportation events surrounding this endeavor, $10,000 has been programmed in
the Transportation Department. This funding will be used for public notices, marketing and
ceremonial events with the opening of the rail line. Several enhancements to the airport will be
provided through a combination of grant matches and the use of the Airport Gas Well Fund. The
details of these projects are provided in detail under the Airport Gas Well Fund description.

ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
Parks and Recreation
One of the most popular programs in the Parks and Recreation Department is the Senior Center.
Additional operations and maintenance costs are included for the Senior Center due to
expansion. One water slide at the City's Water Park will be replaced in FY 2009-10 using Parks
Gas Well Fund resources. The water slide incurred damages in the summer of 2009 and the City
determined it was a more efficient use of funds to completely replace the slide than repair it. In
addition, $150,000 for land acquisition for the Senior Center, and $850,000 for a soccer fields
project at North Lakes Park will also be funded from the Parks Gas Well Fund.
Code Enforcement
In addition to street maintenance issues, effective code enforcement is a high priority for the
citizens of our community. For the Code Enforcement Department, $30,000 is included for
mowing, trash and debris removal, $15,000 for a public relations campaign and $35,000 for the
second year implementation of the substandard structures program. The mowing, trash and
debris removal program will allow contracted clean up of property in violation of municipal
code standards. The public relations campaign focuses on educating the public on new code
regulations, the top recurring violations and code enforcement procedures. Lastly, the
substandard structures program removes dilapidated structures that are uninhabitable through
contract demolition. Since the inception of the program in 2008, more than 30 structures have
been demolished. Funding support for these programs in FY 2009-10 demonstrates the ongoing
need to promote neighborhood vitality in our community.
Planning
In the Planning Department, $40,000 is included to fund a new neighborhood outreach
program. The purpose of this program is to connect City planning staff with the City's various
neighborhood groups and associations. In addition, to fund costs associated with the
management of the Historic Landmark Commission, $1 1,000 is programmed into this department
budget. Finally, $507,250 is provided from the Non -Airport Gas Well Fund to provide technology

enhancements to aid in streamlining records retention and documentation. The adopted new
software programs that will be purchased are Laserfische and Projectdox. Use of these new
programs in the Planning Department will create efficiencies in the City's record keeping for
development tracking purposes.
Building Inspections
General Fund support is provided for the addition of one health inspector in the Building
Inspections Department. The City has two health inspectors that perform more than 2,000
inspections annually. The City has approximately 500 establishments that require inspections
twice annually. This staff addition brings necessary assistance for this operation. Funds from the
Non -Airport Gas Well Fund will be used to provide technology enhancements (Laserfische
software) for improved documentation and retention of records in the Building Inspections
Department.
Animal Services
For Animal Services, resources are provided to fund a intranasal bordetella vaccine. This vaccine
is important for our Animal Services shelter to continue providing a healthy environment for
animals in our care.
Fire
In Fire Operations, $206,446 is included for additional contributions to the Firemen's Relief and
Retirement Fund in connection with the new meet and confer contract that was approved by
the City Council in September 2009. In addition, $51,000 is provided for personal protective
equipment (PPE). This equipment is required to be replaced every five -years. Funding will provide
31 replacement sets of bunker gear for the City's firefighters.

Municipal Court
In Municipal Court, $62,000 is provided for software purchase and maintenance for a case
management program. The current municipal case management program was purchased in
1998. It was determined that the maintenance costs for the current system are more expensive
than those associated with the upgrade to a newer system. The total new package cost of
approximately $290,000 will be provided by certificates of obligation. Currently, the Municipal
Court Department provides a specific transfer to the Technology Services Fund for support of the
case management program. The ongoing maintenance costs for the new system will also be
supported through this transfer to the Technology Services Fund. The overall upgrade to a new
case management system will be an enhancement to the Municipal Court operations.
Legal
Two new positions are programmed for the Legal Department to assist with municipal court
operations. The first position is a prosecutor for municipal court operations and an administrative
assistant to provide support within the municipal court. Currently, the City has one assistant
attorney dedicated to this operation and no administrative support. With a steady increase in
activity within the municipal court, these two positions are programmed to keep pace with
operations.
Cher Agency Contributions
Other agency contributions represent allocations for the City of Denton to outside organizations
for specific agreed upon purposes. The Human Services Committee received requests totaling
$486,132 for FY 2009-10. The Human Services Committee recommended total funding of
$281,759, which is a 1.7% increase from the FY 2008-09 funding level. This funding is split between
support from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the General Fund. During
budget deliberations last fiscal year, it was recommended by the City Council to increase the
General Fund support for the Children's Advocacy Center from $9,000 to $35,000. This increased
funding amount for the CAC remains at $35,000 for FY 2009-10. Further detail is included in the
Financial Summary section, which details agencies benefitting from CDBG and General Fund

Grants
The City benefits from a variety of federal, state and local grants. In addition, the City routinely
provides matching funds for various programs. A complete list of grants is provided in the
Adopted Budget.
Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents the City's five-year plan for infrastructure and
equipment funding. The CIP is reviewed each year to reflect changing priorities and to provide a
framework for identifying capital requirements, the impact of capital projects on operating
budgets and project scheduling/coordination.
The General Government CIP includes non -utility projects such as streets, parks and other
general government facilities that are typically funded through general obligation or certificate
of obligation bonds. Approximately every five -years, the City will appoint a citizen bond
committee to make recommendations to Denton residents on capital improvement needs.
The last bond program was approved by voters in 2005. The remaining $10.3 million of the 2005
bond program was expected to be sold in FY 2008-09. However, due to the downturn in the
economy, these bonds will not be sold until FY 2009-10. In addition, the City will likely postpone
the next bond election to 2012. In the meantime, the City is collecting data from departments
on possible projects in anticipation for the next bond program.
The Utility CIP includes projects that benefit the City's enterprise funds, such as Electric, Water,
Wastewater and Drainage that are primarily funded from revenue bonds. The Utility CIP for Solid
Waste is also included and reflects the anticipated level of projects to be funded from
certificate of obligation bonds. The Public Utilities Board is responsible for developing a
recommendation of the Utility CIP to be presented to the City Council for approval. Key utility
projects that will begin in FY 2009-10 include the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant, the
Pecan Creek Interceptors project and additions to the Denton Municipal Electric Administration
building.
ELECTRIC FUND
The FY 2009-10 Electric budget includes $151,152,370 in revenues and $147,128,591 in
expenditures.
Rates
The FY 2009-10 DM budget includes no base rate increases.
Position Changes
Included in the budget is the addition of 4.5 FTEs to the DME staff to comply with regulations from

Return on Investment (ROI) and Franchise Fee
The DME budget includes a 3.5% ROI payment and a 1% increase in the franchise fee payment,
from 4.0% to 5.0%. The ROI and franchise fee payment are calculated using an estimated annual
average ECA of 3.00 cents/kwh, which is the cap for both payments set by the Council for FY
2010.

$46,096,185, including the appropriation of $8,187,810 of reserves to fund planned capital
projects as well as capital project contingency. Major project increases are attributed to the
rehabilitation of the Lake Lewisville Water treatment plant beginning next fiscal year. Below is a
table illustrating budgeted water sales for FY 2008-09 and projected sales for FY 2009-10.
Rates and Fees
There are no retail rate increases in Water. Wholesale water rates have been updated per their
respective agreements. Water tap fees have increase and one service fee has been added.

The FY 2009-10 Wastewater budget includes revenues of $23,546,370 and expenditures of
$24,553,693. The fund will be using $1,007,323 in a combination of planned reserves and
contingency use to fund planned capital projects. Major revenue declines are attributed to
decreased new construction resulting in lower impact fee revenues and reduced interest
income. Below is a table illustrating budgeted wastewater billed volumes in FY 2008-09 and
projections for FY 2009-10.
Rates
There are no adopted rate increases for retail wastewater customers.
Position Changes

Position Changes
There are no recommended position changes for the Solid Waste budget in FY 2009-10.
Debt Requirement
The budget includes a projected bond sale of $1 1 million to fund projects in the disposal/landfill,
vehicles and equipment and recycling.
The Tourist and Convention Fund records the receipt and distribution of the City's Hotel
Occupancy Tax, which is levied at 7% of room rental rates. The City Council Hotel Occupancy
Tax Committee is responsible for determining a recommendation on the allocation of funds
annually. An overall 2% decrease in the cumulative contributions was recommended by the
committee in FY 2009-10, for a total distribution of $1,382,665. The details of the adopted
allocation are included in the adopted budget.
RISK RETENTION FUND
The Risk Retention Fund is established to record the activities of providing insurance coverage
and self -funded activities for City operations including vehicle, property, general liability and
workers compensation claims. In addition, staff provides wellness programs for the City and
employee assistance programs.
The City's self -insured Health Insurance Fund will be approaching its second year in January
2010. As directed by the City Council, the fund is building a reserve level equal to approximately
$1.4 million. For FY 2009-10, the City will transfer $2.3 million that was previously set aside for
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 45 requirements to the Health Insurance Fund.
While this allocation assists the fund in trying to maintain the reserve level, other changes will be
necessary to keep pace with adopted health care increases in the future.
The City has been able to absorb the cost increases in insurance for the past three fiscal years.
However, to achieve the recommended fund balance over the five-year financial plan, a
shared -cost approach between the City and the employees will be necessary.
This shared -cost approach is reflected in certain aspects of the health insurance plan in FY 2009-
10. Employee premiums will be adjusted to capture usage costs in certain categories. This will be
the first increase to employee premiums since FY 2005-06. In addition, co -pays for specialist visits
and emergency room visits will be increased.
The City is also exploring opening an employee health services clinic in the future. The ability to
provide convenient and quality medical care for our employees internally could provide a cost
savings to the fund in the future.

The Materials Management Fund is comprised of purchasing and warehouse operations.
Materials Management is an internal service fund responsible for procuring goods and services
for City departments, which is regulated by local, state and federal law. The department is also
responsible for the warehousing of materials and supplies necessary for City departments to
serve the community.
The Fleet Management Fund reflects the costs for providing vehicle maintenance and
equipment -related support services to City departments. This internal service fund is comprised
of four functional areas, including vehicle maintenance, fuel purchasing, vehicle parts contract
and motor pool administration.
TECHNOLOGY SERVICES FUND
The Technology Services Fund reflects the costs for providing technology support services to the
various City departments. This internal service fund is comprised of six separate functional areas,
including administration, telecommunications, geographic information systems, application
development, user support, public safety support and reprographics.
The Recreation Fund includes fee -based recreation programs and activities that are self-
supporting. Fees that are charged recover the costs associated with the programs they support.
The Police Confiscation Fund was established to record the receipt of confiscated contraband
and the expenditures funded by that revenue as approved by the courts.
The Traffic Safety Fund is comprised of revenues and expenditures associated with the red light
enforcement cameras. The City operated red light enforcement cameras at various
intersections across the City. The fine revenue derived from violations has been earmarked for
public safety and new traffic safety enhancements. In FY 2009-10, $25,000 will be allocated for
solar flashers in school crossing zones.
Several Special Revenue Funds have been included in the FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget for the

The Public Education Grant (PEG) Fund provides for the acquisition of production equipment,
capital and other lawful PEG purposes. PEG fees are remitted to the city on a quarterly basis.
The McKenna Trust Fund was established by George McKenna in 1959. One half of the net
income from this fund is distributed to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth and one half of the
net income is distributed to the McKenna Park Trust Fund for use only in maintaining, developing,
preserving, and improving the George McKenna Park in the City. A new park pavilion is being
planned for construction in FY 2009-10.
The FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget includes the addition of the Parks Gas Well Fund. This was
previously combined under the Non -Airport Gas Well Fund budget. The City currently has several
producing gas wells located on City owned property and throughout the community. Because
gas well revenue is considered a short-term resource, the expenditures programmed from these
funds for FY 2009-10 will be used to fund one-time needs. These expenditures are consistent with
a City Council established policy that royalty, pooling, tax and lease revenue from gas wells not
be used to fund on -going operational expenses.
Expenditures are provided in the Parks Gas Well Fund for a water slide replacement at the Water
Park ($250,000), land acquisition for the Senior Center ($150,000), and a soccer fields project at
North Lakes Park ($850,000).
The Airport Gas Well Fund includes expenditures of $1.1 million for new airport signage, facility
maintenance work, RADAR service, RAMP grant match, enhancements to the airport entrance
and construction of a southeast access road. The Airport entrance project is currently in the
engineering phase to provide design and construction specifications. The construction phase of
this project will be presented as an Airport Infrastructure Project through the Texas Department
of Transportation - Aviation Division (TxDOT Aviation) in subsequent years to coincide with Airport
branding and marketing plans. An Airport Compatibility Land Use District (ACLUD) survey and a
commercial tractor will also be purchased.
The Non -Airport Gas Well Fund includes expenditures for the purchase of software for the
Planning and Building Inspections Departments ($600,000). These software purchases will enable
the departments to streamline development data and improve records retention.

ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
Ad Valorem Tax
The 2009-10 total certified appraised value for the City of Denton is $6,237,909,022 an
increase of 0.58% over the prior year's certified value. The ad valorem tax rate remains
unchanged at $0.66652 per $100 valuation.
2. Sales Tax
The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is sales tax receipts. The 2009-10
adopted budget assumes a one percent increase in sales tax receipts from the 2008-09
estimate. The 2008-09 estimate for sales tax receipts is $21,262,423, 1.2% below the original
budgeted level of $21,528,702. Because of the volatility of this resource, future years of the
financial forecast assume a conservative 2% growth rate for sales tax receipts.
3. Franchise Agreements
Revenue from franchise agreements is budgeted to increase $1,735,400, which is a 16%
increase over the 2008-09 budget. This large increase is attributed to a 1 % increase in the
franchise fee, from 4% to 5%, for the utility funds. The budgeted amount for 2009-10 is based
on the services provided by companies holding franchise agreements with the City of
Denton. Despite an overall budgeted increase in revenues from franchise agreements,
franchise fees from Charter Communications continue to decrease.
4. Service Fees
Revenue from service -related fees is budgeted to increase $480,252, 8% over the prior year's
budget. Two primary reasons for the increase are a rise in the collection of fees attributed to
parks and recreation activities and ambulance services. Planning and development related
fees are projected to decrease in FY 2009-10.
5. Fines and Fees
Overall, fines and fees are budgeted to increase $517,275, 10% over the prior year's budget.
The increase is related to a projected rise in activity for fines in the municipal court and
library.
6. Licenses and Permits
Revenue from licenses and permits related to development is anticipated to decrease
$786,054, a 41 % reduction over the prior year's budget. The decrease is attributed to
reduced activity in the major planning and development revenue categories, such as
certificates of occupancy, building permits, and electrical and plumbing licenses. Fees for
park vendors are expected to increase due to changes in the enforcement of these permits
for special events.
7. Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenue is budgeted to decrease by $110,795 over the prior year's budget.
This decrease is mainly due to lower than anticipated interest income.
8. Transfers
Overall, transfers to the General Fund are budgeted to increase by $121,807 over the prior
year budget.

The General Debt Service Fund accumulates and makes payments of principal and interest on long
term debt secured by the general taxing powers pertaining to the City's jurisdiction. Resources
include an applicable portion of the Ad Valorem Tax Levy and related interest income, as well as
transfers from internal service funds for their portion of the debt service payment.
DEBT MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
A. Debt Issuance. The City will issue debt primarily for the purpose of acquiring or constructing
capital assets for the general benefit of its citizens and to allow it to fulfill its various missions
as a city. Debt may be issued for the purposes of purchasing land or rights -of -way and/or
improvements to land, for construction projects to provide for the general good, or for
capital equipment.
B. Types of Debt.
1. General Obligation Bonds (GOs). General obligation bonds will be used only to fund
capital assets of the general government and are backed by the full faith and credit of
the City and its ad valorem tax authority. They are not to be used to fund operating
needs of the City. General obligation bonds must be authorized by a vote of the
citizens of the City of Denton.
2. Revenue Bonds (RBs). Revenue bonds will be issued to provide for the capital needs of
any activities where the capital requirements are necessary for continuation or
expansion of a service which produces revenue and for which the asset may
reasonably be expected to provide for a income stream to fund the debt service
requirements.
3. Certificates of Obligation (COs). Certificates of obligation may be issued to:
• Finance permanent improvements and land acquisition, the need for which arose
between bond elections
• Finance costs associated with capital project overruns
• Acquire equipment/vehicles
• Leverage grant funding
• Renovate, acquire, construct facilities and facility improvements
• Construct street improvements
• Provide funding for master plans/studies
• Address necessary life safety needs
In accordance with state law, a resolution authorizing publication of notice of intent to
issue certificates of obligation shall be presented for the consideration of the City
Council. The notice of intent shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in
the City once a week for two consecutive weeks with the first publication to be at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the sale date.
Certificates of obligation may be backed by a tax pledge under certain circumstances
as defined by law. They may also be backed by a combination of tax and revenue
pledge eligible under state law. Some revenues are restricted as to the uses for which
they may be pledged. Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste revenues may be

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
pledged without limit for Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste purposes but
may only be pledged up to $10,000 for non -utility system purposes.
The life of the obligation will not exceed the estimated useful life of the projects
financed.
4. Method of Sale. The City will use a competitive bidding process in the sale of bonds
unless the nature of the issue warrants a negotiated bid. In situations where a
competitive bidding process is not elected, the City will present the reasons why, and
will actively participate with the financial advisor in the selection of the underwriter or
direct purchaser.
5. Bidding Parameters. The notice of sale will be carefully constructed so as to ensure the
best possible bid for the City, in light of the existing market conditions and other
prevailing factors. Parameters to be examined include:
• Limits between lowest and highest coupons
• Coupon requirements relative to the yield curve
• Method of underwriter compensation, discount or premium coupons
• Use of true interest cost (TIC) versus net interest cost (NIC)
• Use of bond insurance
• Deep discount bonds
• Variable rate bonds
• Call provisions
C. Analysis of Financing A►ternatives. Staff will explore alternatives to the issuance of debt for
capital acquisitions and construction projects. These alternatives will include, but not be
limited to: 1) grants in aid, 2) use of reserves, 3) use of current revenues, 4) contributions
from developers and others, 5) leases, and 6) impact fees.
D. Disclosure. Full disclosure of operations will be made to the bond rating agencies and
other depositories of financial information including the Electronic Municipal Market Access
(EMMA) System, as well as the Texas Municipal Advisory Council (State Information
Depository) as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c2-12.
E. Rating Agency Communication. The City staff will seek to maintain and improve its current
bond rating so its borrowing costs are reduced to a minimum and its access to credit
preserved. The City staff, with the assistance of financial advisors and bond counsel, will
prepare the necessary materials for presentation to the rating agencies, will aid in the
production of Official Statements, and will take responsibility for the accuracy of all
financial information released.
F. Federal Requirements. The City will maintain procedures to comply with arbitrage rebate
and other federal requirements.
G. Debt Limit. The State of Texas limits the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 valuation.
Denton's adopted rate of $0.66652 per $100 valuation falls well below this limit.
H. Bond Ratings. Denton's bonds currently have the following ratings:
Moody's Standard & Poor's
General Obligation Bonds Aa3 AA
Revenue Bonds Al A+
These ratings directly affect the cost of debt. The City's policies are focused on issues which
maintain high bond ratings and keep debt costs reasonable.

ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
Denton is a unique community whose diversity
gives it strength. Although Denton is no longer
a small town, there are certain qualities of small
town life that our citizens hold dear. The
historic downtown is the heart of Denton; the
square and surrounding streets are used every
day and night as a gathering place for
commerce, civic events and entertainment.
The City of Denton is 81.724 square miles and
strategically positioned within the Dallas/Fort
Worth/Denton region, 37 miles northwest of
Dallas and 35 miles northeast of Fort Worth.
Located on the Interstate 35 corridor at the
intersection of 1-35E and 1-35W, Denton is 18
miles from DFW International Airport and 15
miles north of Alliance Airport. Proximity to
these major international transportation
facilities gives Denton an unparalleled
advantage.
With an estimated population of 118,904
Denton is a unique community in a high -growth
area, but with a long history as the county seat
and a major city in Denton County. It was
founded in 1857 so that residents would have a
county seat near the center of the county. Our
historic downtown is the heart of Denton; the
square and surrounding streets are filled every
day and night with residents and visitors who
come there for work and shopping, to dine,
and to enjoy civic events, theater and clubs
with live music.
Since the 19th century, Denton has been a
major higher education center. It is the home
of two major state universities, the University of
North Texas (UNT) and Texas Women's
University (TWU). The combined student
population of these two universities is
approximately 47,000.
Denton is rapidly becoming a major center for
medical services. Its two major hospitals,
Denton Regional Medical Center and
Presbyterian Hospital of Denton, have been
joined by a wide range of specialty hospitals,
surgery and treatment centers, and outpatient
clinics. These facilities draw patients from all
over North Texas and from southern Oklahoma.
The City of Denton is also a major banking
center. Several banks have built their new
central facilities in the downtown area and are
building branch banks around the city and the
county, while banks based in small Texas and
Oklahoma towns are locating major centers in
Denton.
The City has taken the lead in organizing the
Economic Development Partnership (EDP), a
collaborative effort between the City,
Chamber of Commerce, Denton Independent
School District, UNT, TWU, and North Central
Texas College. The EDP is implementing a set of
strategies and actions to achieve sustained
economic vitality in Denton, with an emphasis
on attracting businesses in need of a skilled
workforce to Denton.
Denton is an employment center, one of only
three cities in the region that have more than
half their residents living and working in the
same city (Census 2000).
The City has been a driving force in organizing
the Denton County Transportation Authority
(DCTA), the only regional rail authority
organized in a Texas county that joins a highly
urban county with established transportation
authority. DCTA currently has an express bus
service between Denton and Dallas and will be
initiating rail service by 2011.
Denton has a growing municipal airport with
over 200 acres available for public/private
investment. The recent installation of the new
runway and taxiway lighting system at the
Denton Airport greatly enhances the safety of
Denton -based and visiting pilots. Controlled by
the new FAA -certified air traffic control tower,
the system provides pilots with three lighting
intensities that enable safe runway
environments, day or night, regardless of
weather conditions. The increased safety
margins of the control tower translate to
increased visitors, businesses, growth, and
greater prosperity for Denton.
Many performing groups provide Denton with
an endless supply of cultural and
entertainment opportunities. The Greater

ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents the City's five-year plan for infrastructure and
equipment funding. The CIP is reviewed each year to reflect changing priorities and to provide a
framework for identifying capital requirements, as well as to monitor the impact of capital projects on
operating budgets and for project scheduling and coordination.
The General Government CIP includes non -utility projects such as streets, parks, airport, and other
general government facilities that are typically funded through general obligation bonds or certificates
of obligation. Internal service funds such as fleet services, communications, technology services, and
materials management will also utilize the same financing methods.
The last general obligation bond program was approved by voters on February 5, 2005. The remaining
$10.3 million from this program was expected to be sold in the FY 2008/09; however, due to the
economic downturn, those bonds were postponed until FY 2009/10. Approximately every five years the
City will appoint a committee comprised of citizenry to make recommendations to Denton residents for
capital improvement needs. The criteria listed below serve as the basis for staff recommendations
regarding CIP projects related to general obligation bond sales.
1. Public safety, health and life
2. Service demands
3. Legal requirements, liability or mandate
4. Quality and reliability of current service level
5. Economic growth and development
6. Recreational, cultural, and aesthetic value
7. Funding ability
8. Operating budgets
The Utility CIP is primarily funded through revenue bonds and includes projects that benefit the City's
enterprise funds such as electric, water, and wastewater. The Utility CIP for solid waste is financed
through the issuance of certificates of obligation. The Public Utilities Board is responsible for developing
Utility CIP project recommendations to the City Council for approval. Key utility projects that will begin in
FY2009/10 include the Lake Lewisville water treatment plant, the Pecan Creek Interceptors plan, and
additions to the Denton Municipal Electric administration building.

ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) SUMMARY
The General Fund FY 2009-10 five-year CIP includes transportation, parks, vehicles, building projects,
and new software for the finance department and municipal courts.
The decision to propose and ultimately build any capital project must consider the impact that the
capital project will have on the operating budget. The operating impact of any capital project
included in the CIP has been evaluated, and where necessary, resources were included in the budget
to accommodate any associated expenses.
1. Transportation Projects
Major transportation projects scheduled for FY2009-10 include US 377 widening; the Walnut,
Pecan, Austin roadways of downtown; other miscellaneous roadways; and residential
streets. Also included are the FM 1830 design, as well as sidewalk installations and
intersection signalization.
2. Building Projects
The FY 2009-10 building projects include the construction of a fuel facility and development
of a facility maintenance program for flooring, roof replacements and heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
3. Finance
Resources are included to begin implementation of the fixed asset module of the City's
financial software for tracking fixed asset and depreciation costs citywide.
4. Municipal Courts
Resources are included to purchase new software that will provide an overall upgrade to
the existing case management system providing improved case tracking, statistical
information, reporting, and image work flow capabilities.
4. Vehicles
Resources are included to fund vehicle replacements for FY 2009-10.
3. Parks
The major parks projects that are scheduled for funding beginning in FY 2009-10 include
Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center, Mack Park and North Lakes restrooms/concessions,
Goldfield Tennis Center, Prairie/Robertson Rail Trail Bridge, entry corridors on Ft. Worth Drive,
and soccer fields.

PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
1. Library
Expansion of the South Branch Library is almost complete and is expected to re -open in
December 2009. Accompanying this expansion is the need for additional library materials
to complete the project. Funding for increased utilities and maintenance is also included.
2. Transportation
The number of lane miles increases each year as the City expands and annexation
continues. This increase in lane miles results in additional street reconstruction and overlay
projects, that directly impacts the repair and maintenance budget for the street
department.
3. Parks
The number of parks and acreage continues to increase each year. As of September 2009,
there are 36 parks, open spaces, and cemeteries with a total of 1,449 acres. In spite of
continued park system growth, the maintenance budget has not risen.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) SUMMARY
The fiscal year 2010-14 Utilities department CIP totals $291.332 million as compared to $310.344 million
in the 2009-13 CIP. The total 2010-14 CIP reflects a $19.012 million decrease compared to the 2009-13
CIP. The Electric, Water, and Solid Waste CIPs each decrease and the Wastewater CIP reflects a small
increase compared to the 2009-13 CIP. A comparison of the 2010-14 and 2009-13 CIP, by department,
is shown below:

$310.344 million
Electric's 2010-14 CIP decreases by $9.152 million compared to the 2009-13 CIP, primarily the result of
decreased commercial and residential growth in the community, completion of the RD Wells
Substation, and completion of three transmission line projects.
Water's 5-year CIP decreases by $9.006 million. The Lake Lewisville water treatment plant rehabilitation
project represents $27.1 million, or approximately 31% of the total CIP. The CIP also includes $12.8
million for the replacement and addition of water transmission and distribution lines. Another $15.4
million is budgeted to relocate water lines along Texas Department of Transportation related highway
expansions projects.
The 5-year Wastewater CIP has increased by $1.580 million. New collector and growth related
interceptor improvements are budgeted at $24.7 million, including funding for the Graveyard Brach lift
station, Pecan Creek interceptor, Hickory Creek interceptor, State School interceptor, and Cooper
Creek interceptor. Another $10.3 million is budgeted in the CIP for relocation of wastewater lines
along Texas Department of Transportation related highway expansion projects. The Drainage CIP,
included in the Wastewater CIP, totals $9.8 million. Of that amount, $4.2 million represents the
remainder of the Certificates of Obligation sold in 2007 to fund neighborhood and community
drainage improvements.
The Solid Waste 5-year CIP decreases by $2.434 million and includes the acquisition of $7.8 million in
departmental vehicles (trucks) and equipment purchases. Proposed landfill capital expenditures total
$10.1 million, which currently includes a new citizen's drop-off area, a truck and equipment wash
system, cell construction, new and replacement security fencing, groundwater monitoring expenses,
and expansion of the leachate recirculation and landfill gas collection systems. Residential and
commercial collections equipment and containers are budgeted at $2.2 million, and recycling
containers, recycling site improvements, and construction and demolition processing equipment are
budgeted at $3.2 million.
The fiscal year 2010-14 Utilities department CIP includes $6.750 million budgeted for capital
construction contingency reserves, and will only be used if required.

current resources (current revenues plus fund balance) will equal or exceed current
expenditures. The City will avoid budgetary procedures that balance the budget at the
expense of meeting future years' expenses, such as: postponing expenditures, accruing
future years' revenues, or rolling over short-term debt. The budget will provide for
adequate maintenance and replacement of capital plant and equipment.

related to the cost of providing the services. The City will recalculate a full cost of
activities supported by user fees to identify the impact of inflation and other cost
increases. The City will automatically revise user fees when necessary to adjust for the
effects of inflation, program changes, and policy changes.
For Enterprise Funds, the City shall establish user fees and charges that fully support the
total direct and indirect cost of the activity. Indirect costs include the cost of
administration borne by other operating funds.
226
DENTON SERVICE

CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
For programs within the General Fund, the City shall establish and maintain fees for those
cost activities to be supported by the user. For each supported activity, the City shall
establish the level of support necessary. The fees shall be reviewed annually and

Fund expenditures.
VI. Budget Amendment and Modification
A. Transfer of Appropriations. "At any time during the fiscal year, the City Manager may
transfer any part of the unencumbered appropriation balance or the entire balance
thereof between programs or general classifications of expenditures within an office,
department, agency, or organizational unit within the same fund. At any time during the
fiscal year, at the request of the City Manager, the Council may, by resolution, transfer
any part of the unencumbered appropriation balance or the entire balance thereof from
one office, department, agency, or organizational unit to another." (Charter Section
8.07)
B. Amending the Budget. "In case of grave public necessity, emergency expenditures to
meet unusual and unforeseen conditions, which could not by diligent thought and
attention have been included in the original budget, may be authorized by the
affirmative vote of at least five (5) of the members of the Council as an amendment to
the original budget. In every case where such amendment is made, a copy of the
ordinance adopting the amendment shall be filed with the City Secretary, published in
the next issue of the official newspaper of the City, and attached to the budget originally
adopted." (Charter Section 8.08)

appropriations for a department, office, or agency.

VI I. Investment Policy
A. Investment Obiectives and Strategies.
It is the policy of the City that, giving due regard to the safety and risk of investments, all
available funds shall be invested in conformance with State and Federal Regulations,
applicable Bond Ordinance requirements, adopted Investment Policy and adopted
Investment Strategies.
In accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act, the following prioritized objectives
(in order of importance) in accordance with the Tex. Gov't. Code Sec. 2256.005(d) apply
for each of the City's investment strategies:
1. Suitability- Understanding the suitability of the investment to the financial
requirements of the City is important. Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy
is suitable for all City funds.
2. Safety- Preservation and safety of principal are the primary objectives of the
Investment Policy. All investments shall be in high quality securities with no perceived
default risk.
3. Liquidity -The City investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet operating
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity shall be achieved by
matching investment maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements and by
investing in securities with active secondary markets. Short-term investment pools and
money market mutual funds provide daily liquidity and may be utilized as a
competitive yield alternative to fixed income investments.
4. Marketability -Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are necessary in
the event of an unanticipated cash requirement. Historical market "spreads"
between the bid and offer prices of a particular security type of less than a quarter of
a percentage point shall define an efficient secondary market.
5. Diversification - Investment maturities shall be staggered throughout the budget
cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated needs of the City. Diversifying
the appropriate maturity structure will reduce market cycle risk.
6. Yield -Attaining a competitive market yield, commensurate with the City's
investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, is the
desired objective. The goal of the City's investment portfolio is to regularly meet or
exceed the average rate of return on U.S. Treasury Bills at a maturity level
comparable to the portfolio's weighted average maturity in days. The yield of an
equally weighted, rolling six-month Treasury Bill portfolio shall be the minimum yield
objective or "benchmark". Six-month U.S. Treasury Bill information is derived from the
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 for constant maturities. A secondary
objective will be to obtain a yield equal to or in excess of a local government
investment pool or money market mutual fund.
The first measure of success in this area will be the attainment of enough income to
offset inflationary increases. Although steps will be taken to obtain this goal, the City's
staff will follow the "Prudent Person" statement relating to the standard of care that
must be exercised when investing public funds as expressed in the Tex. Gov't. Code
Sec. 2256.006(a-b). The Investment Officers shall avoid any transactions that might
228
DENTON SERVICE
Whatever* It *Takes!
CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS
ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES
impair public confidence in the City's ability to govern effectively. The governing
body recognizes that in diversifying the portfolio, occasional measured unrealized
losses due to market volatility are inevitable, and must be considered within the
context of the overall portfolio's investment return, provided that adequate
diversification has been implemented. The prudence of the investment decision shall
be measured in accordance with the tests set forth in the Tex. Gov't. Code Sec.
2256.006(b).
B. Investment Strategy for Specific Fund Groups.
In order to better diversify, maximize interest earnings and otherwise meet stated
objectives, fund groups may be combined into one or more internal investment pools.
Although fund monies may be combined into a single asset portfolio, proportional fund
ownership will be accounted for separately. The City maintains separate portfolios for
some individual funds or groups of funds that are managed in accordance with the terms
of this Policy and by the corresponding investment strategies listed below.
Investment Pool Strategy -The City's Investment Pool is an aggregation of the
majority of City Funds which includes tax receipts, enterprise fund revenues, fine and
fee revenues, as well as some, but not necessarily all, bond proceeds, grants, gifts
and endowments. This portfolio is maintained to meet anticipated daily cash needs
for the City's operations, capital projects and debt service. In order to ensure the
ability of the City to meet obligations and to minimize potential liquidation losses, the
dollar -weighted average stated maturity of the Investment Pool shall not exceed 1.5
years or 550 days.
2. Bond Funds Strategy -Occasionally, separate non -pooled portfolios are established
with the proceeds from bond sales in order to maximize earnings within the constraints
of arbitrage regulation.
3. Bond Reserve Fund Strategy -Non -pooled reserve funds for outstanding revenue
bonds are set levels required by their respective bond ordinances. These funds will be
used to pay principal and/or interest, if required, to prevent default. Securities should
be of high quality and, except as may be required by the bond ordinance specific to
individual issues, of short to intermediate -term maturities with stated final maturities
not exceeding five (5) years or a dollar weighted -average maturity of 650 days or less.
4. Endowment Fund Strategy -Funds received as gifts to the City with instructions that
the income generated by the investment of said funds be used for specific purposes
are invested as separate non -pooled portfolios in order to maximize return.
