Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Woodbrook Street and Hollyhill Lane – On Nov. 7, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer shared an
inquiry from a resident regarding an all-way stop sign evaluation. The existing traffic
volumes on Woodbrook and Hollyhill are low and do not meet the criteria for all-way stop
signs. Staff will add two “cross traffic does not stop” signs for Woodbrook Street and a
“no parking here to the corner” sign for the westbound movement of Hollyhill Lane to
prevent vehicles from parking close to the intersection. Staff anticipates completion by
Jan. 10. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham, Development Services

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Publishing Council Member Travel Expenses
BACKGROUND:
On Oct. 16, 2024, Council Member McGee presented a two-minute pitch to publish all council
member travel records and expenses on the City website and update the public records quarterly
or as the City Manager determines necessary. On Oct. 22, 2024, the Council gave direction to
provide an Informal Staff Report to discuss how much work it will take to complete the request
and requirements for publishing travel records.
DISCUSSION:
Council travel expense reports will be posted to the City’s website by January 2025. In addition to
the publication of Council travel expense reports, the City Auditor’s Office will provide an annual
report to summarize spending and review policy compliance of council member expenses based
on existing access to City records. Policy compliance would generally include (1) verification of
approval appropriateness, (2) evaluation of support documentation adequacy, and (3) assessment
of travel expense report submission timeliness. Completing this review and preparing and
publishing the corresponding report would likely take less than ten hours.
The City of Denton has earned a transparency star from the Texas Comptroller in each area
possible, including traditional finances, contracts and procurement, economic development, public
pensions, debt obligation, and open government and compliance. This designation recognizes that
the City provides clear financial information by posting financial documents, summaries, and other
relevant information.
Currently, the City provides public access to view purchases and other financial information
through the Open Data portal. Check, Automatic Clearing House (ACH), and Purchasing Card (P-
Card) transactions are published and updated quarterly for transactions the City processes.
Transactions can be filtered by date, payment or transaction amount, supplier or merchant name,
cardholder name, department, business unit, and account description. P-Card purchases made on
behalf of council members can be filtered to show travel expenses listed under the City Council
business unit, however, information for individual council members is not available.
CONCLUSION:
Council travel expense reports will be posted to the City’s website by January 2025. Starting this
fiscal year, Council travel expense reports since Oct. 1, 2024 will be available. Additionally, The
City Auditor’s Office will publish an annual report reviewing council member travel expenses to
ensure compliance.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORTTO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Expiring incentives for Economic Development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Informal Staff Report was prepared in response to a two-minute pitch by Council Member
Jester on utilizing expiring incentives as a funding mechanism for the Catalyst Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council created the Economic Development Investment Fund in 2016 to increase the
City’s competitiveness in the recruitment and retention of large or desirable companies. A total of
$150,000 of mixed beverage tax revenue served as the dedicated funding source.
In 2019, the City recognized the need to raise additional funds to support economic development.
Municipalities often raise such funds through an economic development sales tax. However, the
City reached its State set maximum sales tax in 2004 when voters chose to dedicate the City’s
remaining 0.5% local sales and use tax to support the Denton County Transportation Authority
(DCTA). The City engaged economic development consulting firm TIP Strategies to lead Denton’s
comprehensive economic development strategic planning process.
Staff and the TIP team worked together for more than a year to engage community stakeholders
and develop a strategic plan for economic development that outlines a specific vision for Denton,
as well as the strategies and tactics to bring the vision to fruition. The final plan was adopted by
City Council on Feb. 9, 2021. A strategy outlined in the plan was the creation of the Catalyst Fund,
made up of contributions of various funding sources that would provide support for economic
development programs, incentives, and initiatives. The strategy focused on ensuring Denton was
well positioned to execute the recommendations and priorities laid out in the Economic
Development Strategic Plan.
Several funding mechanisms for the Catalyst Fund were reviewed during the work session on July
26, 2022. Following discussion, the Council gave direction to establish the Catalyst Fund. The
ordinance establishing the Catalyst Fund allowed Council to commit a portion of fees, taxes, and
other funds. The fund was authorized and approved in the FY2022/23 Budget for $7.3 million,
with the actual fund balance ending at $4.3 million. The Catalyst Fund was created on September
27, 2022 with the renaming and assigning of the Economic Development Investment Fund via
adoption of Ordinance 22-1803. Summaries of the approved flow of funds into the Catalyst Fund
since its creation can be seen below. As a Special Revenue Fund, the Catalyst Fund is included in
the City’s annual budget but is separate from the Economic Development department budget
(which is funded through the General Fund).

DISCUSSION:
A funding mechanism that is being considered is re-dedicating dollars from sales tax incentives
as they terminate to the Catalyst Fund. A 10-year analysis of expiring incentives is detailed in
Exhibit 1. If this method of funding is used, eligible expiring Chapter 380 incentives (including
mixed beverage, sales tax, construction sales and use tax, and property tax) would generate $6.9
million for the fund over a 10-year period. In addition, if eligible expiring tax abatements were
included, the total would be $8.8 million.
