CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
January 19, 1993
The Council convened into the Work Session at 5:15 p.m. in the
Civil Defense Room.
PRESENT: Mayor Castleberry; Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins; Council Members
Brock, Chew, Perry, Smith and Miller.
ABSENT: None
1. The Council convened into the Executive Session to discuss
legal matters, real estate and personnel/board appointments
(considered an appointment to the Historic Landmark Commission).
2. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding
the City's audit for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1992.
Craig Milacek, Deloitte & Touche, stated that the audit was done in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The
standards required that they plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements were free of material misstatement. It was their opinion
that the general purpose financial statement presented fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the city as of
September 30, 1992. A single audit report was performed to
determine if the City was in compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts and grants. There were no instances
of non-compliance in the City regarding this area. The firm had
provided a management letter which contained recommendations and
observations for the City. There were no items which were material
weaknesses during the year.
John McGrane, Executive Director for Finance, detailed the Report
of Management for 1992. Part of last year's management letter
suggested the creation of an internal audit position. During the
last budget process, that position had been created. The following
included some of the recommendations from the management letter and
staff's responses: (1) Grant Administrations/grant coordinator -
the City had decentralized the grant procurement process which had
worked well in the past. Each department dealt with its own grants
which was adequate when the City was dealing with a small amount of
dollars. The amount and number of grants the City now dealt with
had increased. The auditors suggested centralizing the grant
process and coordinating it under one department. Staff agreed
that the growth in grant awards to the City, coupled with the
anticipated changes in federal policies which might increase grant
availability, suggested the implementation of a formal centralized
grant process might be required. Staff would analyze the
feasibility of reassigning grant responsibilities to existing staff
or establishing a new position during the next budget process. (2)
Monitoring of subrecipients - the auditors had noted that there
were no formal procedures established to ensure that subrecipients
complied with the Single Audit requirements should funding exceed
0 8

$25,000. With the SPAN grant and some areas of the CDBG grants,
this might become a possibility. Staff would review the
feasibility of centralizing the monitoring function in conjunction
with the Grant Coordinator/Administrator duties. (3) Accounting
procedures - year-end procedures. The auditors suggested making
annual recurring journal entries, a listing of all funds, annual
reconciliations, and a sign off for each individual responsible for
the above to indicate completion. Staff had suggested a meeting
with the auditor prior to closing of year end with a single contact
person with the auditors. (4) Fixed Asset Inventory - this was a
reoccurring comment in the management letter. An annual audit was
done for federal grants but it was not done for the rest of the
City. Staff agreed with the recommendation that a complete City-
wide fixed asset physical inventory and valuation should be done.
Because of fiscal constraints, past budget packages had not been
funded. Another package would be presented during the 1992-93
annual budget process. The inventory would cost approximately
$60,000 to perform. This would be especially important to do with
the building remodeling which was due to start in the near future.
Mayor Castleberry asked if the inventory could be done in-house.
McGrane replied that it would be a tremendous undertaking to do in-
house. It could be done in-house if there were a high dollar limit
placed on what was inventoried.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins felt an inventory needed to be done
professionally because of all the technical equipment the city had.
She suggested starting with a professional and then update with in-
house personnel.
McGrane stated that the dollar amount would not include tagging all
of the items.
Council Member Miller asked if a random inventory were ever done.
McGrane replied that it was done in Purchasing but not in fixed
assets.
Council Member Chew suggested proceeding with the inventory before
starting the remodeling of the city buildings.
Consensus of the Council was to look into the possibilities of
doing the inventory soon and not wait until the budget process.
McGrane continued with the responses to the Management Letter - (5)
Data Processing - the auditors suggested reviewing the staffing
level and resource allocation methodology utilized by the Data

Processing Department. Staff agreed with the recommendation and a
review would be done and a budget package presented in the 1993-94
budget process. (6) utilization of PC's - the auditors suggested
establishing formal policies to govern the PC data processing
operations and use. Staff would review existing policies and
procedures in order to incorporate that recommendation.
Kathy DuBose, Director of Accounting and Budget Operations,
presented overheads which detailed the statistical section of the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
3. The Council held a discussion and gave staff direction
regarding the formation of a committee to meet with the County
Commissioners regarding library and EMS funding.
City Manager Harrell stated that per Council direction, he had had
a meeting with Judge Moseley regarding County funding for the
library and EMS. The Judge was receptive for the formation of a
committee and would be willing to meet with the Council. He would
include Commissioners Wilson and Hill as they had representation
with Denton and some staff members. The meetings would begin prior
to the City's budgeting process.
Mayor Castleberry stated that the Council would need to decide who
would be a member of the committee to meet with the Judge.
Council Member Smith suggested the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins,
Council Member Perry and the City Manager.
The Council convened into the Regular Session at 7:00 p.m. in the

acres to the Agricultural District on property located at the
northwest corner of FM 2181 and Hickory Creek Road. Z-92-030 (The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.)
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins returned to the meeting.
Frank Robbins, Executive Director for Planning and Development,
stated that two zoning districts were being dealt with in the
ordinance. One was a rezoning of a planned development to
agriculture. There was a preliminary plat on the Consent Agenda
which the Council would later consider. The development would be
built in phases with the first phase being serviced with septic
tanks. Later phases would be connected to the City sewer services.
Water was currently available and a dedication of right-of-way
would be included in the development. Sidewalks would be built
around the protected trees in the area. More trees would be
protected with this proposal than in the previous planned
development. A buffer was proposed between the property on the
east and the proposed development. The intensity analysis had a
large decrease over the amount currently allocated in the
development.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Bill Coleman, representing the owner of the property, requested
that the Council approve the request. They felt the design would
be an asset to the City.
