INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Popular Annual Financial Report Document
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
To complement the existing Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, staff has produced the
"Popular Annual Financial Report" document which summarizes financial position and
achievements of the City.
DISCUSSION:
The Government Finance Officers Association(GFOA) established the Popular Annual Financial
Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Program) in 1991 to encourage and assist state and local
governments to extract information from their annual comprehensive financial report to produce
high quality popular annual financial reports specifically designed to be readily accessible and
easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in
public finance and then to recognize individual governments that are successful in achieving that
goal.
The Popular Annual Financial Reporting is available on the Finance page of the City's website.

Message from Our City Manager
Welcome Readers!
I am pleased to present the City of Denton Popular Annual Financial Report(PAFR)for the Fiscal Year
that ended Sept.30,2024.This high-level overview aims to simplify and detail the City's financial
position and activities.The information is drawn from the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report(ACFR).
Sara HenSly
The City's annual budget process begins in February and ends in September with the adoption of the
City budget by the Denton City Council.The process includes opportunities for Council and community
Manager involvement through public meetings and workshops.The adopted budget includes a tax rate of
$0.585420 per$100 of valuation,an increase over the previous year attributed to the voter-approved
2023 Bond Program.
The adopted FY 2024-25 budget was developed within the context of a five-year financial plan and in
response to the community's ongoing infrastructure needs.This approach aims to provide a long-term
and financially sustainable perspective for decisions in the coming fiscal years.The FY 2024-25 budget
for all funds is$2.35 billion and includes 1,982 full-time equivalent(FTE) positions.
I am committed to strategically and responsibly planning for future generations while simultaneously
addressing the necessary replacement and enhancements of infrastructure.The adopted FY 2024-25
budget continues to prioritize resources for public safety,supporting a healthy and safe community.
The City continues to see a competitive labor market and inflationary pressures on operating
expenses,including contract price increases,as reflected in the adopted budget.

City of Denton FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget
The Adopted Budget serves as the legal framework that allows the City to collect taxes. State law
requires the City to set a budget and property tax rate each year by September 30. The budget must
also be balanced, which ensures that total operating revenues, combined with other funding
sources, are equal to or exceed total expenditures.
This graphic shows how the City balances its budget:

City of Denton FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget
In Texas, property taxes are collected by counties, cities, and school districts. In Denton, the City sets
the tax rate and the County collects the taxes. These taxes are based on every $100 of a property's
appraised value, and it's these taxes that help fund essential services like police and fire departments.
Property taxes also help cover portions of general obligation and certificates of obligation debt.
Property tax rates are designed to collect funding for maintenance, operations, and funding debt
service payments, referred to as "Interest &Sinking" (I&S).

Rate/ .. ..
In Texas, municipal tax rates are made up of two parts:
The Operations and Maintenance portion of the rate is
designed to provide for general operations of the City.
The Interest&Sinking portion of the rate is designed to provide
for the City's payment for tax supported debt during the year.

During the creation of this budget, the City 10
completed multiple cost of service studies, revenue
analytics, and five year forecasts. In discussions with
the City Council, the Finance team laid out economic 8
challenges and considerations that the team is
tracking. As the economy continues to change, the
City is seeing changes as well. Growth at record 6
numbers drives expenses, as do pressures from
inflation. Over the past several years, cities
nationwide have benefited from federal programs 4
that are now wrapping up, requiring discussion about
what services will remain and which will change. The 2

Grants Overview
Grants play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for our community by providing critical funding
for programs and projects that directly benefit residents. These funds, sourced from federal, state, and
Local agencies, allow us to address pressing community needs without relying solely on city revenues.
By leveraging grants, we are able to support initiatives that promote economic growth, strengthen
public safety, improve infrastructure, and foster inclusivity across all neighborhoods.
The impact of grants extends far beyond financial support. They enable innovation, collaboration, and
strategic partnerships with local organizations, non-profits, and state and federal agencies. Through
these partnerships, we can expand resources for vulnerable populations, create opportunities for
growth, and build a more resilient community. Every grant secured represents an investment in the
future of our city and underscores our commitment to strategic and fiscally responsible stewardship
for the benefit of all citizens.
