TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2025
FROM: Tamara Smith, MSL, Assistant to the Town Manager
AGENDA ITEM: Presentation and discussion of land-use, infrastructure, and site layout
options developed for the Small Area Plan project. (Tamara Smith, Assistant to
the Town Manager)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: In 2024, the Town Council approved six business goals for Fiscal
Year 2025. Under the Support Business Focus Area, one objective was to redevelop and create
successful business areas fostering a unique sense of place. The initiative for this objective is to
continue the redevelopment strategies and themes along the SH114 corridor and other key
commercial areas.
To address this Council business goal, the town issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on March
25, 2024, seeking a comprehensive small area plan for properties adjacent to State Highway
114 Frontage Road and Trophy Wood Drive. The aim is to redefine the property layout with a
focus on various priorities, including enhancing economic resilience, fostering service-based
employment, improving overall quality of life, promoting sustainability, enhancing pedestrian
safety and walkability, facilitating future development, and addressing area parking needs.
The proposal submission period closed on April 15, 2024. Following a thorough review of bid
packets by three EDC members and four staff members, it was determined that The John R.
McAdams Company, Inc. ("McAdams") emerged as the top contender among the submissions.
In May 2024, both the EDC and Town Council approved a professional services contract with
McAdams to lead the small area plan process. The project officially kicked off on July 8, 2024.
McAdams divided the process into five phases: Explore, Evaluate, Envision, Enact, and Execute.
The Explore phase included the project program, the kick-off meeting, and stakeholder
feedback. During this phase, the Town and McAdams conducted interviews with nine
businesses in the small area plan to gather insights on their concerns and positive aspects of
the area. The Evaluate phase involved inventory, analysis, and a market study of the area,
conducted with the help of their third-party consultant, Catalyst. We are currently in the
Envision phase.
In November 2024, the town and McAdams started the Envision phase, which conducted a
community-wide online survey to gather feedback from residents. The goal was to collect
valuable insights from as many residents as possible by providing an accessible online platform,
particularly for those unable to attend the open house but still wishing to share their input. The
survey was promoted through Town-wide communications to maximize visibility and
Page 4 of 280
encourage participation. Over a four-week period, 595 responses were received, yielding a
4.15% response rate, which is within the preferred range.
The Town is currently in the second half of the Envision phase. McAdams presented to the EDC
Board on February 13th, offering an opportunity for feedback on two variations of plan
scenarios. Tonight, McAdams will present to the Town Council, and any additional feedback will
be incorporated into the plans.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: The EDC has a subcommittee that meets bi-weekly with
McAdams and provides monthly updates to the full EDC Board on progress. The subcommittee
offered feedback to McAdams during the January 28th meeting, as well as with the EDC Board
on February 13th. The scenarios presented tonight reflect the input from the EDC. Key
components from the EDC include: expanding building space to meet market demand,
maintaining the current alignment of Trophy Wood Drive for the residents on the east side of
Trophy Club, providing an entrance to T.W. King via a cut-through on the east side of Town
Hall, and showing the community what is existing versus what will be redeveloped.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total amount for the Small Area Plan is $89,437, which will be expended
from the Economic Development Corporation Fund. Expenditures to date total $43,681.75,
with a remaining balance on the Purchase Order of $43,681.75.

WORK SESSION ITEM
1. Discussion regarding the Town Council Appointments Committee. (Brandon
Wright, Town Manager & Tammy Dixon, Town Secretary)
The Town Council Members discussed highlighted improvements made over the
past two years, including a structured interview process, organized materials, and the
inclusion of department directors in interviews.
Council members emphasized the importance of maintaining a structured
approach while enhancing transparency and accessibility. They agreed that all council
members should have access to applications and that a standardized report should
summarize subcommittee recommendations. Additionally, the Council supported holding
a dedicated workshop to review subcommittee recommendations before board
appointments are made at a regular meeting. While alternative options, such as
Page 27 of 280
Town Council Meeting Minutes – January 13, 2025 Page 2
eliminating interviews in favor of a scoring system, were considered, the Council agreed
that interviews provide valuable insight into applicants' interests and qualifications.
The Town Council directed that the Town Council Rules of Procedure be updated
to reflect the following recommendations:
• Maintain the subcommittee process while granting flexibility to invite department
directors/liaisons, board representatives, or other stakeholders to participate in
interviews as non-voting participants.
• Ensure all applications are accessible to the full Council, with any comments or
feedback directed to the Town Manager.
• Develop a standardized summary report for the subcommittee to complete,

1. AUTHORITY
1.1 CHARTER
The Town of Trophy Club Charter, Article III; Section 3.11 provides that the Town Council
shall determine its own rules of procedure.
These Rules of Procedure shall be in effect upon adoption by the Town Council and until
such time as amended, suspended, or new rules are adopted by the Town Council.
1.2 COUNCIL MEMBER ELECTION/APPOINTMENTS
a. Election of Mayor Pro Tem
Pursuant to Article III, Section 3.07 of the Town Charter, the Town Council shall elect
one of its members to serve as Mayor Pro Tem at its first meeting after election of
council members. Upon election, the Mayor Pro Tem shall perform all the duties of
the Mayor in the absence or disability of the Mayor.
b. Council Committees
At the first Town Council meeting in June, the Mayor may present recommendations
for the members of the following Council Subcommittees and open the floor for
additional nominations, all subject to the approval of the Town Council. Town
Council Members may propose changes or make their own nominations for the
following Council Subcommittees. Appointment of members to all committees of the
Town, inclusive of Council Subcommittees, is exclusively vested in the Council.
• Appointments Committee
• Budget Oversight Committee
• Municipal Utility District No. 1 Coordination Committee
1.3 MAYOR TO ACT AS COUNCIL CEREMONIAL REPRESENTATIVE
Pursuant to the Town Charter Article III; Section 3.06, the Mayor has been delegated the
responsibility to act as the Town Council’s representative for all ceremonial purposes. In the

1.4 COUNCIL MEMBER PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
From time to time, the Mayor or Council Members may choose to participate in community
activities, committees, events and task forces. When the Mayor or a Council Member participates
in these types of activities, he/she is assumed to be acting as a member of the general public rather
than acting on behalf of the Town Council. Acting or participating on behalf of the Town Council
is limited to those instances when the Town Council has formally designated the Mayor or Council
Member as its representative for the matter. As specified in Section 1.3, the Mayor is delegated
to serve as the Town Council’s representative for ceremonial purposes.
2. COUNCIL MEETINGS
2.1 REGULAR MEETINGS
Consistent with Charter Section 3.09, the Council shall hold at least two (2) regular
meetings a month for at least seven (7) months and a minimum of one meeting during each of the

as many other meetings as may be necessary for the transaction of the business of the Town.
All regular meetings shall be held at Town Hall or at such other places within town limits
as will permit the attendance of the general public. All meetings will be held in accordance with
open meeting laws of the State of Texas.
2.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS AND EMERGENCY MEETINGS

as provided by State law.
In case of emergency or urgent public necessity, which shall be expressed in the notice of
the meeting, an emergency meeting may be called by the Mayor or by three (3) members of the
Town Council, and it shall be sufficient if the notice is posted one (1) hour before the meeting is
convened, or as may be required by the Texas Open Meetings Act. Diligent effort to notify all
Council Members shall be made prior to the emergency meeting. (Texas Gov’t Code, Sec. 551.045)
2.3 EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
The Town Council may meet in Executive Session during any workshop, regular, or special
meeting, or anytime otherwise authorized by State law, to consider or hear any matter which is
authorized by State law to be heard or considered in Executive Session.
a. The specific section of the Texas Open Meetings Act authorized for the executive
session and the subject matter for consideration shall be announced by the Presiding
Officer or announced by the Town Secretary as instructed by the Presiding Officer, in
an open meeting before such session is held.
Page 43 of 280

b. Council Members may not reveal the nature of discussion from a closed session unless
required by State law, required by a court of competent jurisdiction, or unless made in
connection with any investigation or proceeding regarding whether there has been a
violation of the Town Code of Ethics and Conduct. Except as provided above,
disclosure of the discussion from a closed session is a violation of the Town Code of
Ethics and Conduct. (Code of Ordnances, Section 1.05.004 (3))
2.4 NOTICE OF MEETINGS
Notice of meetings and the agenda for all Town Council meetings shall be posted by the
Town Secretary on the Town’s official bulletin board and website pursuant to the requirements of
the Texas Open Meetings Act.
2.5 QUORUM
Charter Section 3.12 states a majority of the Council shall constitute a quorum to do
business. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Charter or as provided by law, four (4)
members of Council shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transaction of business and no
action of the Council shall be valid or binding unless adopted by the affirmative vote of four (4)
or more members of the Council, or as required by State law or the Town’s Charter.

on the agenda.
No more than two (2) Council Members may participate in a single meeting via

In case of a personal emergency, Council Members may request videoconference
participation by notifying the Mayor and Town Manager no later than 5:00 p.m. on the
business day prior to the meeting.
c. Technology and Public Access
The technology used must ensure two-way audio and video communication, enabling all
participants to be audible and visible to each other and to the public during open sessions
of the meeting.
Members participating remotely are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary
equipment and a stable internet connection to establish and maintain their participation
throughout the meeting.
If a remote participant becomes inaudible or invisible to those at the physical meeting
location, they will be considered absent for the portion of the meeting during which the
connection is lost.
The Town Council meeting will proceed as scheduled and will not be paused or adjourned
due to technical or technology issues affecting the participation of remotely attending
Council Members.
d. Videoconference Etiquette
During videoconference attendance, the Council Member’s face must be clearly visible,
and audio must be clear while speaking.
e. Executive Session Confidentiality
For executive sessions or closed meetings, Council Members participating remotely must
take appropriate measures to ensure that audio and video communications are inaccessible
to unauthorized persons to preserve confidentiality and attorney-client privilege.
f. Frequency of Remote Participation
Remote participation is not intended to be a regular occurrence for Council Members.
Council Members are strongly encouraged to attend all Town Council meetings in person.
A Council Member desiring to attend more than two (2) meetings remotely in any calendar
year must request approval for remote participation from the full Town Council.
A Council Member requesting Town Council approval to attend three (3) or more
Page 45 of 280
5
Town Council meetings remotely in any calendar year must provide “good cause”
justification for the request. Below are examples of “good cause” justifications, which
are intended to be more than mere inconvenience or preference for attending remotely.
• Examples of “good cause” are:
• Sudden illness or hospitalization,
• Conflict related to employment, and
• Conflict related to planned travel.
g. Eligibility for Remote Attendance:
The Town Manager may request permission from the Presiding Officer for a staff
member to attend remotely when that member’s presence is critical to a purpose at the
meeting.

Page 49 of 280
9
to prevent the misuse of motions, the abuse of any privilege, or the obstruction of the business of
the Town Council by ruling any such matter out of order. In so ruling, the Presiding Officer shall
be courteous and fair and should presume that the moving party is acting in good faith.
Any member of the Town Council may move to require enforcement of the rules, and the

4.5 PRESIDING OFFICER TO FACILITATE COUNCIL MEETINGS
In the role of facilitator, the Presiding Officer will assist the Town Council in focusing on
agenda discussions and deliberations.
4.6 COUNCIL DELIBERATION AND ORDER OF SPEAKERS
The Presiding Officer has been delegated the responsibility to control the debate and the
order of speakers. Speakers will generally be called upon in the order of the request to speak.
With the concurrence of the Presiding Officer, a Council Member holding the floor may address
a question to another Council Member and that Council Member may respond while the floor is
still held by the Council Member asking the question. A Council Member may opt not to answer
a question while another Council Member has the floor.
4.7 LIMIT DELIBERATIONS TO ITEM AT HAND
Council Members will limit their comments to the subject matter, time, or motion being
currently considered by the Town Council.
4.8 OBTAINING THE FLOOR
Any member of the Town Council wishing to speak must first obtain the floor by being
recognized by the Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer must recognize any Council Member
who seeks the floor when appropriately entitled to do so.
4.9 MOTIONS
Motions may be made by any member of the Town Council, including the Presiding
Officer, provided that before the Presiding Officer offers a motion, the opportunity for making
a motion should be offered to other members of the Town Council. Any member of the Town
Council, other than the person offering the motion, may second a motion.
4.10 PROCEDURES FOR AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSIONS/MOTIONS
The following is the general procedure for agenda item discussions and making motions:
a. The Presiding Officer or, if requested, the Town Secretary reads the agenda item.
b. Staff presents its report to the Town Council.
Page 50 of 280
10
c. The applicant or vendor, if applicable, may give a presentation and answer questions
from the Town Council.
d. Members of the public are provided the opportunity to ask questions or make
comments germane to the agenda item. Individuals will be requested to state their
name and address for the record.
e. The Town Council deliberates on the issue, which may include asking questions of
staff and, if applicable, the applicant or vendor. The Town Council may also respond
to related questions posed by the public, applicant, or vendor, or may direct staff to
respond.
f. Following deliberation, the Presiding Officer calls for a motion. Once the motion is
made and seconded, the Council may engage in further discussion.
g. At the Presiding Officer’s discretion, additional public comment germane to the
agenda item may be invited after a motion has been made.
h. Once discussion is complete, the Presiding Officer calls for a vote. No further
discussion will be allowed unless Council Members wish to explain their vote.
Council Members may word motions in any common manner provided such motions and
intended action are clear. The Presiding Officer may confirm that each of the Council Members
understand the motion prior to calling for a vote on the motion.
When a motion is on the floor and an amendment is offered, the amendment should be
acted upon prior to acting on the main motion. No motion of a subject different from that under
consideration shall be admitted as an amendment. A motion to amend an amendment shall be in
order, but one to amend an amendment to an amendment shall not be in order. Action shall be
taken on the amended amendment prior to any other action to further amend the original motion.
The following are examples of possible motions:
MOTION TO APPROVE OR DENY
A motion to approve or deny is a proposal to take a specific action. The maker of the
motion may state, “I make a motion to approve/deny Agenda Item #” or may state the
recommended motion (under state law, certain motions require specific language in which case
staff will provide the specific motion in the packet that the specific language must be used), or
such person may state the agenda caption although it is not necessary. A failed vote to approve
shall result in the agenda item being denied.
Page 51 of 280
11
MOTION TO APPROVE WITH AMENDMENTS
A motion to approve a specific action may include amendments recommended by a board,
Town Attorney, another Council Member, or staff. The maker of the motion may state, “I make a
motion to approve Agenda Item # with the following amendment(s)…” or state recommended
motion or the agenda caption with the amendment included.
MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
A motion for reconsideration indicates a Council Member wants the Town Council to
reconsider a prior action of the Town Council and if successful, for the Town Council to consider
taking different action. A motion to reconsider may be made at the same meeting or at the next
succeeding meeting following the relevant Town Council action, provided the reconsideration
request complies with the requirements of the Texas Open Meetings Act and applicable law. If the
motion to reconsider a prior action is not made at the same meeting, such motion and the related
agenda item must be posted on the agenda for the meeting at which the motion is to be reconsidered.
The maker of the motion may state: “I make a motion to reconsider Agenda Item #” or may state
the full agenda caption. If that motion fails, then the matter is finally concluded. If the motion to
reconsider passes, then a motion is in order for the different action.
A motion for reconsideration may only be made by a Council Member who voted with the
majority of the Town Council on the action proposed to be reconsidered by the Town Council.
Any member of the Town Council may second a motion for reconsideration.
MOTION TO ADJOURN
If the Town Council has reached the end of the agenda, no motion is required. The
Presiding Officer can declare the meeting adjourned. A motion to adjourn may also be made during
the meeting. The maker of the motion may state, “I make a motion to adjourn the meeting.” The
motion requires a second and is not debatable. If the motion passes by majority vote, the meeting
is adjourned.
WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION
A withdrawal of a motion indicates a motion may be withdrawn or modified by the Council
Member who originally made the motion at any time prior to its passage. If a motion is withdrawn,
the Council Member who originally made the motion, or another Council Member, may then make
a motion requiring to be seconded by another Council Member.
MOTION TO CONTINUE A PUBLIC HEARING
The Town Council may continue a public hearing to a date time certain unless State law
provides otherwise. The maker of the motion may state, “I make a motion to continue the public
hearing to xxx date at xxx time”. This motion will prevent the Town from incurring the cost of re-
advertising or publishing notice of the public hearing in the newspaper.
Page 52 of 280
12
MOTION TO REFER OR POSTPONE/TABLE
The Town Council may desire to continue discussion of an agenda item at a future meeting,
may require the Town staff to provide further information, or require the matter to be reconsidered
by an applicable board or commission. In such event the Town Council may postpone or table
consideration of the agenda item to a date time certain or subsequent Council Meeting (or for
example until such time as Town staff can provide the requested information) or refer the matter
back to the applicable board or commission to reconsider the agenda item.
4.11 VOTING
Abstention
a. Pursuant to Section 3.20 of the Town Charter, if a Council Member abstains
because of a legal conflict of interest, such member is not counted as present for
quorum purposes and is not deemed to be “voting” for purposes of determining
whether there has been a “majority vote of those voting and present.”
b. When the Mayor or a Council Member abstains because of a legal conflict of
interest, the Mayor or such Council Member must file an affidavit with the Town
Secretary stating the nature and extent of the conflict before the agenda item is
announced by the Mayor. The Mayor or Town Secretary shall briefly state, on the
record, the nature of the conflict of the Council Member. State law requires the
inclusion of this information in the public record. A Council Member with a legal
conflict of interest shall excuse themselves from the dais for that portion of the
Council meeting and may return once the Council has completed action on the
agenda item.
Tie Votes
A tie vote results in a lost motion. In such an instance, any member of the Town Council
may offer a motion for further action. Per Section 3.12 of the Town Charter, except as otherwise
specifically provided by the Charter or by law, no action of the Council shall be valid or binding
unless adopted by the affirmative vote of four (4) or more members of the Council, or as otherwise
required by State law or the Charter.
Charter or Statute Voting Requirements
Per the Town Charter, actions taken by the Town Council require the affirmative vote of four
(4) or more Council Members to be valid and binding, unless State law specifies differently.
Provided below are items that require more than four (4) affirmative votes or more than a simple
majority of Council Members. Items listed herein are not intended to be an exhaustive list; the
Town Attorney shall provide notice to the Town Council when the Council is taking action on
such an item.
Page 53 of 280
13
a. Charter Amendment – Two-thirds Vote
An Ordinance submitting a proposed Charter amendment must be adopted by a two-
thirds vote of the entire Town Council, except when an amendment is otherwise
requested by petition pursuant to Texas Local Gov’t Code Sec. 9.004. (Texas Local
Gov’t Code, Sec. 9.002(a), Texas constitution Article XI, Section 5)
b. Protested Changes in Zoning Ordinance – Three-fourths Vote
If a proposed change to a zoning regulation or boundary is protested by owners of
twenty percent or more of the area of the lots or land included in such proposed
change, or of the area of the lots or land immediately adjoining the area covered by
the proposed change and extending 200 feet there from in accordance with Texas
Local Gov’t Code Ch. 211, as amended, the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths
of the entire Town Council is required for the proposed change to take effect. (Texas
Local Gov’t Code, Sec. 211.006(d))
An affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the entire Town Council is required
to overrule a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that a
proposed amendment, supplement, or change to a zoning be denied. (Town Ordinance,
Sec. 14.02.403 (b)(3))
If a Council Member has abstained because of a legal conflict of interest and filed
the required affidavit, the number of the members of full Town Council counted present
and voting is reduced by the number of such conflicted Council Members.
c. Canvassing an Election - Two (2) members of the Town Council constitute a
quorum for purposes of canvassing an election. (Texas Election Code Sec. 67.004)
4.12 NON-OBSERVANCE OF RULE
Rules adopted to expedite and facilitate the transaction of the business of the Town
Council in an orderly fashion shall be deemed to be procedural only, and the failure to strictly
observe any such rules shall not affect the jurisdiction of, or invalidate any action taken by, the
Town Council.
5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
5.1 GENERAL PROCEDURE
A public hearing will be conducted separately from Town Council consideration of related
ordinances, resolutions, or other motions. The public hearing will allow for staff

TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2025
FROM: Denise Deprato, Director of Human Resources
AGENDA ITEM: Consider authorizing the Town Manager to negotiate and execute an
agreement with Labor Finders for a ten-month temporary staffing contract
amount not to exceed $48,000 for staffing services. (Denise Deprato, Director
of Human Resources)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Town of Trophy Club currently faces a critical staffing gap within the Streets Division due to
an extended leave of absence of a full-time employee. This leave is anticipated to last beyond
the end of the fiscal year, creating the need for temporary support to ensure continued service
delivery and efficiency in the department.
To address this staffing need, the Town proposes partnering with Labor Finders, a reputable
staffing agency selected after reaching out to five agencies and interviewing three. Labor
Finders was chosen for their extensive network of pre-screened, reliable candidates and their
proven ability to quickly fill specialized roles. Their flexible staffing solutions will allow the
Town to meet its immediate staffing needs while ensuring the continued smooth operation of
the Streets Division during the extended leave period.
The proposed partnership with Labor Finders will provide temporary staffing for the Streets
Maintenance Worker position, with a budget not to exceed $48,000, which includes a service
fee of up to 40% of labor costs. This collaboration will enable the Town to meet staffing
requirements through January 2025, minimizing disruptions and ensuring the efficient delivery
of essential services in the Streets Division.
By partnering with Labor Finders, the Town will ensure that its Streets Maintenance Division
remains adequately staffed, allowing for the continued upkeep of the Town’s infrastructure
and meeting the needs of its residents, businesses, and visitors.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: The ten-month agreement, with a not-to-exceed amount of $48,000, will be
funded through personnel savings from the extended leave of absence. The current funds are
allocated in the personnel budget within the Street Maintenance Fund (40%), General Fund
(40%), and Strom Drainage Fund (20%) and will be reallocated to the professional services
account line items within those respective funds.

AGENDA ITEM: Case SUP-25-001 (Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club)
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance approving a specific use
permit request by Titan Beverage LLC on behalf of the owner Hydra Hotels LLC
(Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club) for alcohol beverage sales for a TABC BG

i. Conduct Public Hearing
ii. Consider Ordinance Approval
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Titan Beverage LLC on behalf of the owner Hydra Hotels LLC
Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club) is requesting approval of a specific use permit (SUP) for
alcoholic beverage sales for on premises or off premises consumption use according to Section
14.02.252 of the Town' s Code of Ordinances. The property's zoning of Planned Development
District 25 (PD-25) does not restrict the sales of alcoholic beverages beyond the regulations of
the Town Code and State Law.
Titan Beverage LLC is applying for a SUP to obtain a mixed beverage restaurant permit (BG) and
a mixed beverage late hours permit (LH) that will allow the sale and consumption of wine,
beer, and liquor on the premises and during late hours (12 midnight - 2 AM). The Town Code
Page 91 of 280
does not restrict hours of operation beyond TABC's regulations.
Section 14.02.252(b) of the Code of Ordinance states that no alcoholic beverages may be sold
within 300 feet of a church, public school or private school, or public hospital. Subsection (g)
describes the methods of measurement as front door to front door and along the street from
property line when measuring for churches and public hospitals, and in a direct line from the
nearest property line to property line when measuring to public schools and private schools.
Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club complies with Town and State requirements, as the closest
church (Lake Cities Church of Christ) is approximately 4,000 feet away, and the closest public or
private school (Walnut Grove Elementary School) is approximately 5,808 feet away. The nearby
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Trophy Club is a private hospital, so there are no
separation requirements. Parking needs have been addressed by the required on-site parking
spaces. The Chief of Police has reviewed this application, as required by Code, and has no
objections. A notice of public hearing was distributed as required by State Law. To date, staff
has not received any inquiries.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the
specific use permit at their February 6, 2025 meeting and voted unanimously (4-0) to
recommend approval of the request to the Town Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this agenda item.
LEGAL REVIEW: Town Attorney, Dean Roggia, has reviewed the ordinance as to form and
legality.

TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2025
FROM: April Duvall, Director of Finance
AGENDA ITEM: Consider accepting the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Town
of Trophy Club Fiscal Year 2024. (April Duvall, Director of Finance)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: The Town of Trophy Club's financial records have been prepared
and audited by FORVIS, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, as required by the Town Charter. The
Town's financial performance for FY 2024 is presented in the attached Annual Financial Report
based on the audited records. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the Town are presented fairly, in all material
respects, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. This independent audit involved
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used, and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Below are highlights from the FY 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report:
1. The Town's auditor, FORVIS, LLP, has issued an unmodified opinion on the Town's
financial records, indicating that the Town's financial records are fairly represented in
all material aspects for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.
2. The Town meets and surpasses all minimum reserve levels required by the Financial
Reserves Policy approved in April 2024.
3. General Unassigned Fund Balance (the most important measure of the Town’s financial
health and safety net) increased by $2,395,350 to $12,376,571 in FY 2024 compared to
FY 2023. This amount represents 81.7% of General Fund expenditures. The Town’s
Financial Reserves Policy sets a range for unassigned fund balance between 30% and
50% of operating expenditures, with a target rate of 45%. Reserves at the end of FY
2024 are approximately $4.8 million higher than the top end of that range. Consistent
with the Town’s Financial Reserves Policy, staff will develop a list of one-time uses for
Council consideration to reduce excess reserves.
4. Fund balances across all Governmental Funds (funds that are primarily funded through
taxes used for general government purposes) increased by $3,852,921, primarily driven
by increases in the General Fund, Hotel Occupancy Fund, Park Land Dedication Fund,
and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 Fund.
5. The Town’s Financial Reserves Policy requires that current assets in Governmental
Funds exceed current liabilities. At the end of FY 2024, the Town surpasses this
requirement with current assets at $52.6 million against current liabilities of $4.7
million.
Page 98 of 280
6. The Town’s Financial Reserves Policy requires unrestricted cash and short-term
investments of at least 100% of current liabilities in Governmental Funds. The FY 2024
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report surpasses this requirement with $30.5 million
in cash and cash equivalents against current liabilities of $4.7 million (654%).

February 18, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor,
Members of the Town Council, and
Citizens of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas
The Finance Department of the Town of Trophy Club has prepared a comprehensive set of financial statements in
strict compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These statements have been rigorously
audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants, following the standards of Generally Accepted
Auditing Standards (GAAS). We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for
the Town of Trophy Club, Texas, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
This report reflects the Town’s management representations regarding its financial position and activities.
Management assumes full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of all information presented
within this document. To support these representations, the Town’s management has established a
comprehensive internal control framework. This framework is designed to both safeguard the Town’s assets
against loss, theft, or misuse and ensure the accurate and reliable preparation of the Town’s financial statements
in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
It is important to acknowledge that while internal controls are essential, they are intended to provide reasonable,
rather than absolute, assurance regarding the prevention and detection of material misstatements. The Town’s
internal control framework strives to achieve this balance, ensuring that the financial statements are free from
material misstatement to the extent possible. Management affirms that, to the best of our knowledge and belief,
this financial report is complete, accurate, and reliable in all material respects.
In accordance with the Town Charter, the Town’s financial records have been meticulously prepared by the
finance department and audited by Forvis Mazars, LLP, Certified Public Accountants. This Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report (ACFR) is based on the results of that audit. The primary purpose of the independent audit is to
provide reasonable assurance that the Town’s financial statements accurately and fairly represent, in all material
respects, the financial position and activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
The independent audit included a thorough examination, on a sample basis, of evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Additionally, it involved an evaluation of the accounting principles
used, significant estimates made by management, and the overall presentation of the financial statements. Upon
completion of this rigorous process, the independent auditor issued unmodified opinions, affirming that the Town's
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, are presented in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The independent auditor's report is included as the first component of the
financial sections of this report.
In compliance with GAAP, management is required to provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of
the financial statements, referred to as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. For ease of reference,
the Town’s MD&A immediately follows the independent auditor’s report in this document.

Profile of the Town
Founded in 1985 as Texas’ first master-planned community, the Town of Trophy Club is located in North Central
Texas and has emerged as a significant hub of growth both within the state and nationally. Spanning just over 4
square miles, the Town serves a thriving population of approximately 13,666 residents. With the authority to levy
property taxes on real estate within its jurisdiction, Trophy Club is characterized by a robust median household
income of $193,026 and a median home value of $724,500. Since 2004, Trophy Club has operated as a Home
Rule municipality under the council-manager form of government. Charter amendments ratified on May 11, 2013,
affirm the Town Council’s role as the primary policy-making and legislative body, comprising the Mayor and six
Council Members. The Council’s responsibilities include adopting ordinances, approving budgets, appointing
boards and committees, and selecting key Town officials such as the Town Manager, Town Secretary, Municipal
Judge, and Town Attorney. The Council functions on a non-partisan basis.
In alignment with charter amendments adopted on May 9, 2009, Council members are elected at-large by place
and serve three-year terms or until their successors are elected and qualified. Each member represents a
designated Place (e.g., Place 1, Place 2, etc.). Furthermore, the Charter limits the Mayor and Council Members to
a maximum of six consecutive years in full elected terms.
The Town Manager is charged with implementing the policies and ordinances established by the Town Council,
managing daily governmental operations, and appointing department heads to oversee the Town’s various
departments.
Trophy Club provides a full range of municipal services, including general government operations, public safety,
street maintenance, parks and recreation, planning and zoning, code enforcement, and drainage utilities. Water
and wastewater services are managed separately by Trophy Club Municipal Utility District #1, ensuring essential
infrastructure support for the community.
Local Economy
Trophy Club is widely recognized for its rapid growth, a hallmark that has earned recognition from both the Dallas
Business Journal and the Fort Worth Builders Association. Strategically situated between DFW International
Airport and Alliance Airport, Trophy Club’s location offers unparalleled convenience for businesses, residents, and
commuters traveling to Dallas, Denton, Las Colinas, and Fort Worth. Despite its proximity to major metropolitan
areas, the Town maintains a charming small-town atmosphere, nestled in a picturesque setting. Trophy Club is
celebrated for its exceptional quality of life, supported by outstanding educational institutions, recreational
amenities, and two premier 18-hole golf courses, including the only course designed by the legendary Ben Hogan.
The broader North Texas region thrives with a diverse economy anchored by research institutions, logistics, oil
and gas, manufacturing, and industrial sectors, all supported by a robust professional services base. This
economic diversity contributes to a relatively stable unemployment rate. As of September 2024, the Dallas/Fort
Worth area’s unemployment rate stood at 3.9%, compared to the national average of 4.2%, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Approximately half of the local workforce is engaged in management, professional, and
related occupations, further reflecting the region’s economic vitality.
Trophy Club has taken deliberate and strategic steps to position itself for a prosperous future within the dynamic
DFW and Alliance corridor. Over the past decade, the Town has issued more than 452 building permits for
high-end residential homes, underscoring its commitment to growth and development. In fiscal year 2024 alone,
the Town approved 14 new residential building permits valued at $13,926,026.03. Additionally, there were 12
commercial projects completed with a total valuation of $2,778,654, along with 17 residential remodel and update
projects valued at $624,500.
The Town’s tax base has consistently strengthened, surpassing $3.1 billion in net taxable value in 2024. This solid
foundation is further bolstered by a thriving business environment along the Highway 114 corridor. Trophy Club
continues to benefit from businesses establishing a presence within its borders and professionals relocating to the
area, contributing to the local workforce and economy.

Long-Term Financial Planning
As part of its commitment to sound financial stewardship and strategic long-term planning, the Town has
undertaken significant initiatives to optimize its debt structure and invest in critical infrastructure. In December
2015, the Town refunded the Trophy Club Public Improvement District #1 (PID) bonds, resulting in over $16.4
million in savings for PID residents over the life of the debt. Similarly, in August 2020, the Town refunded
$3,550,000 in Certificates of Obligation Bonds, achieving $500,000 in savings over the remaining 10-year term.
In FY 2023, the Town issued $7 million in debt to address long-term needs in key areas, including streets, parks,
and drainage. This strategic investment reflects the Town’s proactive approach to maintaining and enhancing
essential infrastructure to support current and future residents.
Building on these efforts, the Town has prioritized the revamp of its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in FY 2024.
This comprehensive update will serve as a roadmap for future infrastructure projects, ensuring that resources are
allocated effectively to meet the Town’s evolving needs and sustain its high quality of life. Along with the CIP, the
Town Council approved a Debt Financing Plan & Tax Rate Goal policy that anticipates future debt borrowing to
address capital needs through FY 2040, all achievable within a maximum tax rate to support debt service of
$0.105.
Budgeting Process
The Town of Trophy Club utilizes a program-based budgeting process to ensure fiscal responsibility and efficient
allocation of resources. Each budget unit includes expenditures associated with services and supplies as outlined
in the prior year’s budget. Personnel-related expenditures are calculated and compiled by the Finance
Department.
Any funding requests for new programs or expenditures beyond the base budget must be submitted as separate
supplemental requests for evaluation. Capital expenditures are prioritized based on a comprehensive replacement
schedule, assessed needs, and available resources, ensuring that the Town’s assets are maintained and
enhanced in a sustainable manner.
Revenue Projection
The process of projecting revenue for the upcoming fiscal year begins early in the current fiscal year. Departments
responsible for generating revenues, in collaboration with the Finance Department, develop these projections. The
estimates are based on consultations with state and local agencies, trend analyses, anticipated changes in the
local and regional economy, and discussions with staff members directly involved in the revenue streams. While
revenue projections are initially prepared early in the budget process, they remain fluid and are refined throughout
departmental budget development, with adjustments made as new information becomes available.
Proposed Budget Analysis/Compilation
The Finance Department compiles a preliminary departmental budget to present to the Budget Team, which
includes the Town Manager and the Director of Finance. During budget discussions, department directors are
required to justify and provide clarity on their budgetary needs.
With revenue projections and baseline funding requirements as guiding factors, budget adjustments are made
based on necessity and priority. A total recommended funding level is determined and aligned with available
financial resources to ensure fiscal balance and operational efficiency.
Proposed Budget Development
The Town Manager prepares and submits the annual budget to the Town Secretary for the upcoming fiscal year.
The proposed budget is designed to ensure that, for each fund, operating revenues and resources are at least
equal to or exceed operating expenditures. The Town Manager’s budget message provides an overview of funding
requirements, significant program changes, and alternative funding solutions, serving as a strategic guide for
decision-making.
Page 112 of 280
iv
Town Council Budget Study
From May through budget adoption, the Town Council conducts an in-depth review of each fund, along with
supplementary materials, capital replacement schedules, and the five-year Capital Improvement Program. This
process allows Council Members to evaluate budget items thoroughly and provide guidance on priorities before
the final submission of the proposed budget.
Capital Program
As required by Section 9.08 of the Town Charter, the Town Manager prepares and submits a five-year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) to the Council annually, no later than August 1. This program is reviewed, updated, and
extended each year to reflect pending capital improvements, ongoing projects, and planned acquisitions, ensuring
alignment with the Town’s long-term goals and priorities.
Public Hearing/Budget Adoption
Public hearings on the proposed budget and, if applicable, the tax rate are held in August and September, allowing
citizens to provide formal input. Additionally, residents may attend Town Council budget work sessions from May
through the adoption of the budget. Following deliberations and the public hearing(s), the Town Council adopts the
budget and sets a tax rate to support approved funding levels in September.
In accordance with the Town Charter, if no action is taken by the Town Council before the fi scal year-end on
September 30, the prior years budget continues on a month-to-month basis until a new budget is adopted.
Compilation of Adopted Budget/Budget Maintenance
The adopted budget is compiled and published early in the new fiscal year, with an amended proposed budget
made available for public inspection in October. Ledger accounts are prepared for the new fiscal year prior to
October 1.
Budget maintenance is an ongoing process carried out by both divisions/departments and the Finance
Department. Expenditure reviews are conducted monthly by Finance staff to ensure spending controls. During the
budget process, departments provide current-year revenue and expenditure estimates to support accurate
planning.
Finally, program goals, objectives, and performance measures are assessed during budget implementation to
evaluate the effectiveness of activities and determine appropriate funding levels for future years.
Relevant Financial Policies
The Town’s Investment Policy, created by staff, was developed to comply with Chapter 2256 of the Government
Code, known as the Public Funds Investment Act. This Act requires the Town of Trophy Club to adopt a written
investment policy governing the management of its funds. The policy outlines the methods, procedures, and
practices necessary to ensure the effective and prudent fiscal management of the Town’s resources. In
recognition of its quality, the Town’s Investment Policy was awarded the Government Treasurers’ of Texas
Certificate of Distinction for Investment Policy in June 2011.
In April 2024, the Town Council adopted a Financial Reserves Policy, establishing new fund balance categories in
alignment with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54. This policy also set a
minimum unassigned fund balance goal for the General Fund at 45% of annual operating expenditures, providing
a strong foundation for fiscal stability.
Additionally, in September 2016, the Town implemented updated purchasing policies as well as revised travel and
training policies, ensuring alignment with best practices and the Town’s operational needs.

v
Major Initiatives
The Town Council remains dedicated to its strategic planning process, which serves as the cornerstone for
identifying and achieving long-term goals and objectives. Each year, the Council convenes in strategic planning
retreats to review, refine, and align its priorities with the evolving needs of the community.
In FY 2024, the Town launched its new Strategic Plan for 2025–2030, a comprehensive framework designed to
advance key priorities over the next five years. This plan emphasizes enhancing community development,
ensuring financial sustainability, and improving the delivery of high-quality services. The Strategic Plan is fully
integrated into the Town’s Business Plan and Department Work Plans, which are utilized in budget planning,
resource allocation, and the implementation of services and programs.
As part of its efforts to support local businesses and foster economic growth, the Town, in partnership with the
Economic Development Corporation (EDC), introduced the Thrive Business Grant program. This initiative offers
targeted funding to local businesses, promoting innovation, resilience, and economic vitality within the community.
In addition, the Town has prioritized future growth and land use planning through the creation of a Small Area Plan
for the 114 corridor. This plan will serve as a detailed roadmap for development along this key economic and
transportation corridor, focusing on strategic land use, infrastructure enhancements, and opportunities for
economic development. By balancing thoughtful planning with community needs, the Small Area Plan aims to
ensure sustainable growth while preserving the Town’s unique character and quality of life.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada awarded the Town of
Trophy Club the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. This marks the 14th consecutive year the
Town has received this prestigious recognition.
To earn this award, a government must publish an ACFR that is both easily readable and efficiently organized
while meeting generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all applicable legal requirements. The
Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year, and we believe our current ACFR continues to meet the program’s
high standards. We have submitted it to the GFOA for review to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Finance Department staff. We
extend our deepest gratitude to the entire team for their diligence and expertise. We also wish to thank the
representatives of Forvis Mazars LLP, Certified Public Accountants, for their invaluable support and professional
guidance.
Finally, we offer special recognition to the Mayor and Town Council members for their steadfast commitment to
excellence in financial stewardship. Their leadership and unwavering support have been essential in maintaining
the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Town’s finances and the successful
completion of this report.

Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Trophy Club, Texas
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
Town of Trophy Club, Texas (Town), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements as listed
in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
Town as of September 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the Town, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant
ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Town’s ability to continue as a
going concern for 12 months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information
that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and
therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a
Page 124 of 280

2
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Town’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the Town’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters
that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparisons, pension, and other postemployment benefit information
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements
and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report.
The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not
cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the
basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based
on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information
exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
Year Ended September 30, 2024
4
As management of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas (Town), we offer readers of the Town’s financial statements
this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2024. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information
that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i-v of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Town exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $69,360,557 (net position). The unrestricted net
position, which represents the amounts available to meet the Town’s ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors, was $28,158,082.The Town’s total net position increased $2,834,579 primarily because of increases in property tax
valuations and increased investment earnings.At the close of the current fiscal year, the Town’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of
$32,879,923, an increase of $3,852,921 in comparison with the prior year. Of this amount, $12,376,571, or
38%, is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance). The increase in
combined fund balance is primarily due to increased property tax valuations and increased investment
earnings. At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance for the general fund was $12,376,571, or
approximately 82% of total general fund expenditures.At the close of the current fiscal year, the Town’s enterprise funds reported combined net position
balances of $4,082,865, an increase of $422,631 in comparison with the prior year. The increase is due
primarily to operations and to transfers in from the governmental funds for debt service payments.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis provided here are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town’s basic financial
statements. The Town’s basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) government-wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) the notes to financial statements. This report also includes
supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Town’s
finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. Two statements, the Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Activities, are utilized to provide this financial overview.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the Town’s assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. The difference between the four is reported as net position. Over
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
Town is improving or deteriorating. Other non-financial factors, such as the Town’s property tax base and the
condition of the Town’s infrastructure, need to be considered in order to assess the overall health of the Town.

The statement of activities presents information showing how the Town’s net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported for
some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but
unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to
recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The
governmental activities of the Town include general government, police, emergency medical services, community
development, parks and recreation, streets, court, council, and administration. Normally, these operations are
financed by property taxes, sales taxes, and franchise fees. The business-type activities of the Town include
Trophy Club Park and Storm Drainage Utility operations.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town itself (known as the primary government),
but also the legally separate component unit, Economic Development Corporation, which the Town is financially
accountable. Financial information for the component unit is reported separately from the financial information
presented for the primary government itself.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated
for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town can be
divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well
as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
assessing a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance
sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Town maintains thirteen individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances for the general fund, the debt service fund, the capital projects fund, and the PID No. 1,
which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in a
separate section of the report.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been
provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

Proprietary Funds
The Town’s proprietary funds are all enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The Town uses an enterprise
fund to account for its Trophy Club Park and Storm Drainage Utility operations. All activities associated with
providing such services are accounted for in these funds, including salaries and benefits, supplies and materials,
repairs and maintenance, utilities, and other operating expenses. The Town’s intent is that costs of providing the
services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed through user charges in a manner similar to a
private enterprise.
Proprietary financial statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for Trophy
Club Park and Storm Drainage Utility. The Storm Drainage Utility is considered to be a major fund of the Town.
Component Unit
The Town maintains the accounting and financial statements for one discretely presented component unit, the
Economic Development Corporation, which is displayed separately on the government-wide financial statements.
Notes to Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is necessary to acquire a full understanding of the data provided in
the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements, MD&A, and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
Required Supplementary Information (RSI). The required RSI includes a budgetary comparison schedule for the
general fund and Public Improvement District No. 1 fund. In addition, it includes information concerning the Town’s
progress in funding its obligations to provide pension and OPEB benefits to its employees. Required
supplementary information can be found immediately after the notes to the financial statements.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented
immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions and OPEB.
Government-wide Overall Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the
case of the Town, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources
by $69,360,557, at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

Current and other assets increased by $1.7 million from the prior year due primarily to increased cash and
investment activity.
Long-term liabilities, which consist of bonds, compensated absences, net pension liability, and other
postemployment benefit obligations, decreased by $4.5 million from the previous year for governmental and
business-type activities combined. The decrease is primarily due to the scheduled debt service payments.
A portion of the Town’s net position, $31,882,303, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery, equipment, vehicles, lease assets, and infrastructure), net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization and less any related outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets. The Town uses these
capital and lease assets to provide a variety of services to its citizens. Accordingly, these assets are not available
for future spending. Although the Town’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be
noted that the resources used to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital and lease
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town’s net position, $9,320,172 represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. As of the end of the current year, the Town’s unrestricted net position was a
balance of $28,158,082. The Town’s overall net position increased $2,834,579, from the prior fiscal year. The
reasons for this overall increase are discussed in the following sections for governmental activities and
business-type activities.

Governmental Activities
For the year ended September 30, 2024, revenues from governmental activities totaled $23.6 million. Property tax,
grants and contributions, special assessments and sales tax are the Town’s largest general revenue sources.
Overall revenue increased $2.7 million or 13% from the prior year. Property taxes remain the largest source of
revenue at $11.9 million in the current fiscal year. The rate charged to property tax owners has remained
consistent, however, the assessed valuation has risen from approximately $2.8 billion in 2023 to $3.1 billion in the
current year. Investment income increased by $806 thousand or 62% due to the impact of the market and
realization of higher interest rates. All other revenue sources remained relatively stable when compared to the
previous year.
For the year ended September 30, 2024, expenses for governmental activities totaled $21.1 million. This
represents an increase of $1.1 million or 5.7% from the prior year. The Town’s largest expense category is public
safety (police, fire, and emergency medical services), which totaled $8.0 million at year-end and increased $911
thousand from prior year due primarily to workers compensation adjustments, salary increases, and overtime.
General Government decreased by $268 thousand primarily due to decreased salary expenses. Manager’s Office
decreased by $296 thousand primarily due to realignment of departments through the breakout of Town Secretary
and Mayor & Council categories, which was previously reported with Manager's Office. All other expenses
remained relatively consistent when compared to the previous year.
Business-type Activities
Business-type activities are shown comparing operating costs to revenues generated by related services. For the
year ended September 30, 2024, charges for services by business-type activities totaled $614 thousand and
represents a decrease of $91 thousand from prior. This is mostly due to decreased park activity. Total
business-type activity expenses remained relatively consistent when compared to the previous year. The Storm
Drainage Utility increased expenses by $108 thousand for various small equipment purchases and salary
increases. The Trophy Club Park increased their expenses by $8 thousand primarily due to salary increases.
Financial Analysis of the Town’s Funds
As noted earlier, fund accounting is used to demonstrate and ensure compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds – The focus of the Town’s governmental funds is to provide information of near- term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town’s
financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the Town’s net
resources available for discretionary use as it represents the portion of fund balance which has not yet been
limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the Town itself, or a group or individual that has
been delegated authority to assign resources for use for particular purposes by the Town’s Council.

At September 30, 2024, the Town’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $32.9 million, an
increase of $3.9 million, in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 38% of this amount, $12.4 million,
constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the Town’s discretion. The remainder of
the fund balance is either nonspendable, restricted, or committed to indicate that it is: 1) not in spendable form
$443 thousand; 2) restricted for particular purposes $20.0 million; or 3) committed for a particular purpose $29
thousand.
Analysis of Individual Funds
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the Town. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund
balance of the general fund was approximately $12.4 million, while total fund balance increased to $12.8 million.
As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total
fund balance to total general fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 82% of total general fund
expenditures, while total fund balance represents 85 % of that same amount.
The fund balance of the Town’s general fund increased by $2.4 million during the current fiscal year. This increase
is due to higher property valuations, the impact of the market and realization of higher interest rates and sales tax
revenue coming in higher than anticipated.
The debt service fund had an ending fund balance of $251 thousand at September 30, 2024, an increase of $45
thousand when compared to the previous year. This increase is due to higher property valuations, the impact of
the market and realization of higher interest rates. During the year, the fund recorded total principal and interest
payments of $2.7 million and property tax revenue of $2.8 million. The fund also recorded $178 thousand in
transfers to other funds related to debt service payments.
The capital projects fund had an ending fund balance of $10.7 million. The capital projects fund increased by $90
thousand when compared to the previous year. The increase was due to increased investment income.
The PID No. 1 fund reflected an ending fund balance of $4.2 million. The fund balance increased $120 thousand,
which is a result of special assessments and investment income exceeding debt service expenditures.
Proprietary Funds – The Town’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Net position in the Town’s major proprietary fund, the
Storm Drainage Utility fund, totaled $3.5 million, an increase of $390 thousand from prior year. Unrestricted net
position at the close of the fiscal year for the Town’s storm drainage utility fund amounted to $1.9 million. Total net
investment in capital assets was $1.6 million.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Total budgeted revenues of $14,658,938 were less than actual revenues of $17,641,901 resulting in a revenue
variance of $2,982,963. The variance was primarily the result of greater than estimated revenues from sales tax,
intergovernmental revenues, and charges for services. Sales tax was over budget as the economy continues to
recover from the pandemic. Intergovernmental revenue increased $682,064, primarily due increases in both the
fire assessments related to the Public Improvement District and transfers from the Municipal Utility District.
Charges for services were more than estimated due to the inclusion of sanitation charges received during the
year, previously netted with expenses. Total budgeted expenditures of $17,444,903 were more than actual
expenditures of $15,143,222, resulting in a expenditure variance of $2,301,681. The variance in total expenditures
primarily related to facilities management and capital outlay expenditures for unbudgeted expenditures related to
emergency repairs/replacement. Additionally, the manager's office department budgeted for capital projects that
ultimately did not occur in the current fiscal year.
Capital and Lease Assets
As of the end of the year, the Town’s governmental activities funds had invested $61,110,085 in a variety of capital
and lease assets and infrastructure, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Town’s business-type
activities funds had invested $1,781,537 in a variety of capital assets and infrastructure, net of accumulated
depreciation. This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment, storm
drainage system, and infrastructure.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
The Town of Trophy Club’s land use remains predominantly residential, comprising approximately 90% of the
area, with a smaller commercial component making up about 10%. Both residential and commercial development
within the Town is largely built out. In fiscal year 2024, the Town issued 14 residential construction permits and
one new commercial permit. Looking ahead, staff estimates future development will be limited, with projections of
30–50 additional residential permits and 3–4 large commercial permits.
The Town’s fiscal year 2025 budget reflects an increase in total property tax revenue of $904,831, or 8.7%,
compared to the fiscal year 2024 budget. Of this amount, $44,835 is attributed to new property added to the tax
roll.
Key budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 include:
Replacement of fleet vehicles
Inverness storm drainage improvements
Bobcat traffic improvements
Dedicated pickleball courts at Harmony Park
Phase II of the pool remodel project
General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2025 are budgeted to increase by 12.80% over estimated revenues for
fiscal year 2024, while expenditures are projected to rise by 14.30% over fiscal year 2024 estimates. Despite these
changes, the fiscal year 2025 budget maintains the ad valorem tax rate at $0.415469 per $100 of assessed value,
ensuring stability for taxpayers while supporting the Town’s strategic initiatives and operational needs.

Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds to the
Statement of Net Position
September 30, 2024
See Notes to Financial Statements 19
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position
are different because:
Total fund balance per balance sheet $ 32,879,923
Capital and lease assets used in governmental activities are not current financial
resources and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds. 61,110,085
Other long-term assets less related uncollectibles are not available to
pay for current period expenditures and therefore are reported as
unavailable revenues in the governmental funds. 15,163,008
Accrued interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial
resources and therefore is not reported as a liability in the balance sheet
of governmental funds.(298,242)
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, leases payable, net pension
liability, and total OPEB liability (and the related deferred inflows and
deferred outflows) are not due and payable in the current period and therefore
are not reported as liabilities, deferred outflows or deferred inflows in the
governmental funds. Long-term liabilities consist of:
General obligation bonds payable $(5,165,000)
Certificate of obligation bonds payable (16,800,000)
Special Assessment Bonds (18,227,000)
Deferred charge on refunding 1,629,246
Unamortized premiums on bonds (3,093,541)
Leases payable (49,294)
Net pension liability (2,762,505)
Total other postemployment benefit (OPEB) liability (307,271)
Deferred outflows of resources – pension 1,756,778
Deferred outflows of resources – OPEB 38,612
Deferred inflows of resources – pension (55,764)
Deferred inflows of resources – OPEB (133,677)

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
Year Ended September 30, 2024
See Notes to Financial Statements 22
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds $ 3,852,921
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation and amortization expense. This is the amount by which capital
outlay exceeds depreciation and amortization in the current period.
Capital outlay expenditures $ 976,471
Depreciation and amortization expense (3,563,625)
(2,587,154)
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to decrease net position.
Loss on sale of assets (12,461)
Certain revenues in the government-wide statement of activities that do/(do not)
provide current financial resources and (are)/are not reported as revenues in the
governmental funds. This amount is the net change in deferred inflows of resources.(2,266,678)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bond proceeds) provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term
debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also governmental funds report
the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas
these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is
the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Amortization of bond premium 329,545
Principal amount of debt paid to bondholders and lessors 3,550,451
Net change in accrued interest payable 83
Amortization of deferred charge on refunding (217,088)
3,662,991
Some expenditures reported in the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances do/(do not) require the use of current financial resources but (are)/are not reported
as expenses in the statement of activities. This adjustment is to reflect the net change in
accrued compensated absences.(80,501)
Current year OPEB expenditures are reported on the fiscal year basis in the governmental
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance and as actuarially
determined in the government-wide statement of activities. These differences are
reflected in total OPEB liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources balances.(2,151)
Current year pension expenditures are reported on the fiscal year basis in the governmental
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance and as actuarially
determined in the government-wide statement of activities. These differences are
reflected in net pension liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources balances.(155,019)

Note 1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Town of Trophy Club (Town) is a “home rule town” incorporated in 1985. The Town operates under a
Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public
safety (police and emergency medical services), parks, public works (public improvements, streets, planning, and
zoning), and general administrative services.
The financial statements of the Town have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, as applied to government units (hereinafter referred to as generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP)). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The Town’s
significant accounting policies are described below.
Description of Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. The Town
currently has no fiduciary activities. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for support. Likewise, the
primary government is reported separately from a legally separate component unit for which the primary
government is financially accountable.
Financial Reporting Entity
The Town of Trophy Club is a municipal corporation governed by an elected mayor and a six- member council.
The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the
government is considered financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities,
are, in substance, part of the government’s operations. Thus, blended component units are appropriately
presented as funds of the primary government. The discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate
column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize that it is both legally and substantively separate
from the primary government.
Public Improvement District (PID) No. 1
On May 7, 2007, the Trophy Club Town Council approved Resolution 2007-08 authorizing and providing for the
creation of a Public Improvement District. Trophy Club PID No.1 consists of approximately 609.68 acres within the
corporate limits of the Town of Trophy Club. This District was created in accordance with Chapter 372 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The PID issued refunding bonds in December 2015, with the approval of Town
Council. The Town Council must review and update the service plan annually for the purpose of determining the
annual budget for the PID No. 1. In addition, the PID No. 1 exclusively or almost exclusively benefits the primary
government. The PID No. 1 is reported as a major special revenue fund and does not issue separate financial
statements.

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1 (TIRZ No. 1)
The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1 is governed by a board appointed by the Town’s Council. The Town
can impose its will on the TIRZ No. 1 and affect the day-to-day operations of the TIRZ No. 1 by removing
appointed board members at will. The TIRZ No. 1 is funded by revenues generated through tax increment
financing. Total debt outstanding is to be paid entirely with resources of the Town. Therefore, per GASB 14
paragraph 32, the primary government has an obligation to provide support to the TIRZ No. 1 (a financial burden).
The TIRZ No. 1 is reported as a nonmajor special revenue fund and does not issue separate financial statements.
Crime Control and Prevention District
The Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) was formed under Chapter 363 of the Texas Local
Government Code, the Crime Control and Prevention Act. The CCPD is organized exclusively to act on behalf of
the Town to finance crime control within the Town. The CCPD is governed by a seven member board appointed
by the Town Council. The annual budget and issuance of debt must be approved by the Town Council. The CCPD
provides services entirely, or almost entirely to the primary government. The CCPD is reported as a nonmajor
special revenue fund and does not issue separate financial statements.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
Economic Development Corporation
The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) serves all citizens of the Town and is governed by a board
appointed by the Town’s elected council. The Town can impose its will on the EDC and affect the day-to-day
operations of the EDC by removing appointed board members at will. The scope of public service of the EDC
benefits the Town and its citizens and is operated within the geographic boundaries of the Town. Since the EDC’s
governing body is not substantively the same as the governing body of the primary government, does not provide
services entirely, or almost entirely to the primary government, nor does it maintain debt of any type that are repaid
using Town resources, it has been reported as a discretely presented component unit. Separate financial
statements for the EDC component unit are not prepared.
Basis of Presentation – Government-Wide Financial Statements
While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The
governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds, while business-type activities
incorporate data from the Town’s enterprise funds. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental
funds and proprietary funds.
As discussed earlier, the Town has one discretely presented component unit. It is shown in a separate column in
the government-wide financial statements.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably
equivalent in value to the interfund services provided, and other charges between various other functions of the
Town. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions concerned.

Basis of Presentation – Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the Town’s funds, including its blended component units.
Separate statements for each fund category—governmental and proprietary are presented. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major individual
governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The General Fund is the main operating fund of the Town. This fund is used to account
for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that
are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other funds are accounted for in this fund.
General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through
other funds are paid from the General Fund.
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial
resources for the payment of principal, interest and related costs on long-term debt paid primarily from
taxes levied by the Town. The fund balance of the Debt Service Fund is restricted to signify the amounts
that are restricted exclusively for debt service expenditures.
Capital Projects Fund – The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended
for acquisition and construction of infrastructure and other capital assets.
Public Improvement District (PID) No. 1 – This fund accounts for bond proceeds, assessments and
related debt associated with the issuance of bonds issued by the Town for the Public Improvement
District.
The Town reports the following major enterprise fund:
Storm Drainage Utility Fund – The storm drainage utility fund accounts for the storm drainage utility fee
designated for the maintenance of the Town’s storm drainage system.
During the course of operations, the Town has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances
outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. Further,
certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds reported at gross amounts
as transfers in/out. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made
in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Balances between the funds included in
governmental activities (i.e., the governmental funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as
internal balances in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in
business-type activities (i.e., the enterprise funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as
internal balances in the business-type activities column. Transfers between the funds included in governmental
activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental activities column.
Similarly, balances between the funds included in business-type activities are eliminated so that only the net
amount is included as transfers in the business-type activities column.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of
accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial
resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of recognition in the financial
statements of various kinds of transactions or events.
The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized
as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as
all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they have been earned and
they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Town
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt
service principal and interest expenditures on general long-term debt, including lease liabilities, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, and postemployment benefits are
recognized later based on specific accounting rules applicable to each, generally when payment is due. General
capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and
financing through leases are reported as other financing sources. Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes,
licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and
so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as
revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met,
and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 1 year
of year-end). All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received
by the Town.
Budgetary Information
Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the
general, PID No. 1, hotel occupancy tax, street maintenance sales tax, court technology, court security, recreation
programs, park land dedication, crime control and prevention district, and TIRZ No. 1 funds. The capital projects
fund is appropriated on a project-length basis. The grants fund does not have appropriated budgets since other
means control the use of these resources (e.g., grant awards) and sometimes span a period of more than one
fiscal year.
The original budget is adopted by the Town Council prior to the beginning of the year. The legal level of control as
defined by the Town Charter is the fund level. No funds can be transferred or added which affect the total fund
expenditures without Town Council approval.

Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they have related encumbrances.
Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for goods or services (i.e.,
purchase orders, contracts, and commitments). Encumbrance accounting is utilized to the extent necessary to
assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to facilitate effective cash planning and control. While all
appropriations and encumbrances technically lapse at year end, valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which
performance under the executory contract is expected in the next year) are reappropriated and become part of the
subsequent year’s budget pursuant to state regulations, and the encumbrances are automatically reestablished in
the next year.
Deposits and Investments
The Town’s cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Because the Town, at its option, can
withdraw funds within a twenty-four hour period from TexPool and Texas Class, these investments are considered
to be cash equivalents.
State statutes authorize the Town to invest in: (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of
and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4)
obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as
to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than
A or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are: (A)
guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (B) secured by
obligations that are described by (1) – (4); or, (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a
defined termination date, secured by obligations described by (1), pledged with third party selected or approved by
the Town, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. The Town’s investments are governed by
the same state statutes.
All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices or amortized cost. Fair value is the
amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
Receivables and Interfund Transactions
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of
the year are referred to as either “interfund receivables/payables” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or
“advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds” in the fund financial statements. If the transactions are
between the primary government and its component unit, these receivables and payables are classified as “due
to/from component unit/primary government.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental
activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal
balances.”
Advances between funds are offset by a nonspendable fund balance account in the applicable governmental fund
to indicate they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade receivables are shown net of any allowance for uncollectible amounts.

33
Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid
items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as
expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Capital and Lease Assets
Capital and lease assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital and lease assets are defined by the Town as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year.
As the Town constructs or acquires capital assets each period, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost.
The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs, which are amounts spent in relation to capital
assets that do not increase the asset’s capacity or efficiency or increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital
assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Acquisition value is the price that would be paid to
acquire an asset with equivalent service potential on the date of the donation.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. The other property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure of
the Town are depreciated/amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or
lease term, whichever is shorter:
Buildings 30 Years
Improvements other than buildings 10-30 Years
Improvements other than buildings (streets)30 Years
Machinery and equipment 7-15 Years
Vehicles 5-10 Years
Water system 25 Years
Infrastructure (storm drainage system)40 Years

Lease Receivable
The Town is a lessor of its multiple water towers and recognizes a related lease receivable and a deferred inflow
of resources. At the commencement of a lease, the Town initially measures the lease receivable at the present
value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced
by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources is initially measured as the
initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement
date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
The Town monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its leases and will
remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to
significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s)
and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Town has three
items that qualify for reporting in this category. The three items are the deferred charge on refunding reported in
the government-wide statement of net position, and deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB. The deferred
charge on refunding resulted from the difference between the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition
price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The
deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB relate to contributions after the measurement date, changes in
actuarial assumptions, the difference in expected and actual economic experience, and difference between
projected and actual investment earnings.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred inflows of
resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s)
and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Town has four items that
qualify for reporting in this category. Unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance
sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from: property taxes, special assessments, and
property liens. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the
amounts become available. In the government-wide financial statements the Town reports deferred amounts
related to pension relating to the changes in actuarial assumptions and difference in expected and actual
economic experience. In both the government-wide financial statements and governmental funds financial
statements, the Town reports deferred amounts related to leases which is comprised of the initial value of the
lease receivable systematically reduced and recognized as lease revenue over the term of the lease.
Unearned Revenue
Governmental funds report a liability, unearned revenue, in connection with resources that have been received,
but not yet earned, which consists primarily of grant dollars received in advance of incurring eligible expenditures.

Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
35
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities statement of net position.
Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements until due. The
debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources, net of the applicable premium or discount and payments of
principal and interest reported as expenditures.
In the governmental fund types, issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
Long-term debt and other obligations, financed by proprietary funds, are reported as liabilities in the appropriate
funds. For proprietary fund types, bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds, if material. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Issuance costs are
expensed when incurred.
Lease Liability
The Town is a lessee for noncancellable leases. The Town recognizes a lease liability and an intangible
right-to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the financial statements. The Town recognizes lease liabilities with an
initial, individual value of $5,000 or more. At the commencement of a lease, the Town initially measures the lease
liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. The lease asset is initially
measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease
commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line
basis over its useful life or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
The Town monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its leases and will
remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount
of the lease liability.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas
Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and additions to/deductions from TMRS’s Fiduciary Net Position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized
in the period that compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit
payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments
are reported at fair value.
Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
The Town has two single-employer defined benefit other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans (Plans). For
purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to OPEB and OPEB expense have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plans.
For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Net Position
For government-wide reporting as well as in proprietary funds, the difference between assets and deferred
outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is called net position. Net position is
comprised of three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted.
Page 162 of 280
Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
36
Net investment in capital assets consists of capital and lease assets, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization and reduced by outstanding balances of bonds, notes, leases, and other debt that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets or related debt are included in this component of net position.
Restricted net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources
related to those assets. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either
by external parties or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation.Unrestricted net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories.
Sometimes the Town will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant
proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and
unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption
must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is Town’s policy to consider
restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
Fund Balance
In governmental fund types, the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources is called “fund balance.” The Town’s governmental funds report the following
categories of fund balance, based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific
purposes.
Nonspendable fund balance represents amounts that are either not in a spendable form or are legally or
contractually required to remain intact.Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by
external resource providers such as grantors or enabling federal, state, or local legislation. Restrictions
may be changed or lifted only with the consent of the resource providers.
Committed fund balance represents amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined
by of the adoption of an ordinance committing fund balance for a specified purpose by the Town’s Council
prior to the end of the fiscal year. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place
until the resources have been spent for the specified purpose or the Council adopts another ordinance to
remove or revise the limitation.Assigned fund balance represents amounts that are intended to be used by the Town for specific
purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Council has by resolution
authorized the finance director and town manager to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign
fund balance, as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and
appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally
only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the
removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either
remove or revise a commitment.Unassigned fund balance represents the residual amount for the general fund that is not contained in the
other classifications. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance.
Additionally, any deficit fund balance within the other governmental fund types is reported as unassigned.
As previously mentioned, sometimes the Town will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the
amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund
financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to
be applied. It is the Town’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of
the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be
Page 163 of 280
Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
37
used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Minimum Fund Balance Policy
The Council has adopted a financial policy to maintain a level of unassigned fund balance in the general fund. The
target level is set at six months of general fund annual expenditures (approximately 45%). This amount is intended
to provide a fiscal stability when economic downturns and other unexpected events occur. If fund balance falls
below the minimum target level because it has been used, essentially as a "revenue" source, as dictated by
current circumstances, the policy provides for actions to replenish the amount to the minimum target level.
Program Revenues
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions (including special assessments) that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements
of a particular function or segment. All taxes, including those dedicated for specific purposes, and other internally
dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for all real and
business personal property in conformity with Subtitle E, Texas Property Tax Code. Taxes are due on receipt of
the tax bill and are delinquent if not paid before February 1 of the year following the year in which imposed. Under
state law, property taxes levied on real property constitute a lien on the real property which cannot be forgiven
without specific approval of the State Legislature. The lien expires at the end of twenty years. Taxes levied on
personal property can be deemed uncollectible by the Town.
Property taxes at the fund level are recorded as receivables and unavailable revenues at the time the taxes are
assessed. Revenues are recognized as the related ad valorem taxes are collected. Additional amounts estimated
to be collectible in time to be a resource for payment of obligations incurred during the fiscal year and therefore
susceptible to accrual in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles have been recognized as
revenue.
Accumulated Vacation, Compensated Time, and Sick Leave
It is the Town’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned, but unused vacation pay benefits. No liability is
reported for unpaid accumulated sick leave. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide
financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they are expected to be
liquidated with expendable available financial resources, for example, as a result of employee resignations and
retirements.
Proprietary Funds Operating and Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the storm drainage utility fund
is charges to customers for sales and services. The principal operating revenues of the trophy club park fund is
charges to customers for access to the park. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales
and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

Note 2.Cash and Investments
The Town utilizes a pooled cash and investment concept for all its funds, to maximize its investment program.
Investment income from this internal pooling is allocated to the respective funds based upon the sources of funds
invested.
Deposits
At September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the Town’s demand deposits, including its component unit, totaled
$18,111,802 and the bank balance was $17,906,500. Cash on hand for the Town was $300 and the carrying
amount and bank balance of cash for the Public Improvement District No. 1 was $4,256,245.
Custodial Credit Risk
In the case of deposits, this is the risk that, in the event of a bank’s failure, the Town’s deposits may not be
returned to it. Pursuant to provisions of both the Texas Public Funds Investment Act and the Public Funds
Investment Policy of the Town, deposits of the Town that exceed the federal depository insurance coverage levels
are materially collateralized with securities held by a third party custodian in the Town’s name. Investments, other
than investments that are obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities, are insured or
registered in the Town’s name and held by a third party custodian.
Investments
The Town’s investment policies are governed by state statutes. The Town’s investment policies further limit state
statutes such that eligible investments include the following:
1.Obligations, including letters of credit, of the United States, its agencies, and instrumentalities, including
the Federal Home Loan Banks.

4.Certificates of Deposit and other forms of deposit issued by a depository institution that has its main office
or a branch office in Texas. The certificate of deposit must be guaranteed or insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund or its
successor or secured by obligations in a manner and amount as provided by law. In addition, deposits
obtained through a depository institution that has its main office or a branch office in Texas and that
contractually agrees to place the funds in federally insured depository institutions in accordance with the
conditions prescribed in Section 2256. 01 0(b) of the Public Funds Investment Act are authorized
investments.
Additionally, funds invested by the Town through a broker that has a main office or branch office in Texas
and is selected from a list approved by the Town as required by section 2656.025 of the Public Funds
Investment Act or a depository institution that has a main office or branch office in Texas and is selected
by the Town are authorized investments if the following conditions are met:
a.the broker or depository institution selected by the Town as specified above arranges for the deposit
of the funds in certificates of deposit in one or more federally insured depository institutions, wherever
located, for the account of the Town;

b.the full amount of the principal and accrued interest of each of the certificates of deposit is insured by
the United States or an instrumentality of the United States; and
c.the Town appoints a depository bank, or a clearing broker registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c-3 (17CFR, Section 240 15c3-3) as custodian for the Town with

Club, held in an account in the Town of Trophy Club’s name, and deposited at the time the investment is
made with the Town of Trophy Club or with a third-party selected and approved by the Town of Trophy
Club. Repurchase agreements must be purchased through a primary government securities dealer, as
defined by the Federal Reserve, or a financial institution doing business in Texas. A Master Repurchase
Agreement, or similar agreement, must be signed by the bank/dealer prior to investment in a repurchase
agreement. All repurchase agreement transactions will be on a delivery versus payment basis. Securities
received for repurchase agreements must have a market value greater than or equal to 102 percent at the
time funds are disbursed. (This section pertains to Sweep Accounts and/or Bond Proceeds)
6.No-Load Money Market Mutual funds that: 1) are registered and regulated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and provide a prospectus and other information required by the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. Section 78a) or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C.
Section 80a-1), and 2) seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.0000 per share.
7.Local government investment pools, which: 1) meet the requirements of Chapter 2256.016 of the Public
Funds Investment Act, 2) are rated no lower than AAA or an equivalent rating by at least one nationally
recognized rating service, and 3) are authorized by resolution or ordinance by the Town Council. In
addition, a local government investment pool created to function as a money market mutual fund must
mark its portfolio to the market daily and, to the extent reasonably possible, stabilize at a $1.0000 net
asset value.
Investment Pools
TexPool was established as a trust company with the Treasurer of the State of Texas as trustee, segregated from
all other trustees, investments, and activities of the trust company. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts
exercises oversight responsibility over TexPool. Oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations,
designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State Comptroller has
established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and other persons who do not have a
business relationship with TexPool. The advisory board members review the investment policy and management
fee structure. Finally, Standard & Poor’s rate TexPool AAAm. As a requirement to maintain the rating, weekly
portfolio information must be submitted to Standard & Poor’s, as well as to the office of the Comptroller of Public
Accounts for review. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of the position in TexPool approximates fair value of
the shares. There were no limitations or restrictions on withdrawals.
Texas CLASS is a local government investment pool emphasizing safety, liquidity, convenience, and competitive
yield. Since 1996, Texas CLASS has provided Texas public entities a safe and competitive investment alternative.
Texas CLASS invests only in securities allowed by the Texas Public Funds Investment Act. The pool is governed
by a board of trustees, elected annually by its participants. Texas CLASS is rated ‘AAAm’ by Standard and Poor’s
Ratings Services. The ‘AAAm’ principal stability fund rating is the highest assigned to principal stability government
investment pools and is a direct reflection of Texas CLASS’s outstanding credit quality and management. At
September 30, 2024, the fair value of the position in Texas CLASS approximates fair value of the shares. There
were no limitations or restrictions on withdrawals.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in the market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. In accordance with its investment policy, the Town manages its exposure to declines in fair values by
limiting the maximum maturity length of investments to three years.
As of September 30, 2024, the Town had the following investments:

Total $ 18,763,691 $ 12,605,447 $ 6,158,244
Credit Risk
The Town’s investment policy limits investments to obligations of the United States, State of Texas, or their
agencies and instrumentalities with an investment quality rating of not less than “A” or its equivalent, by a
nationally recognized investment rating firm. Other obligations must be unconditionally guaranteed (either express
or implied) by the full faith and credit of the United States Government or the issuing U.S. agency and investment
pools with an investment quality not less than AAA or AAAm, or equivalent, by at least one nationally recognized
rating service.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be caused by the Town’s investment in a single issuer.
The Town’s investment policy states that the investment portfolio shall be diversified so that potential losses on
individual issuers will be minimized. At September 30, 2024, the Town’s investments are 67% in investment pools
and 33% in non-negotiable CDs.
Fair Value of Investments
The Town measures and records its investments using, as appropriately, fair value measurement guidelines
established by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair
value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets;
Level 2 Observable inputs other than those in Level 1; and
Level 3 Unobservable inputs.
Page 168 of 280
Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
42
Debt and equity securities classified as Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those
securities. Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 are valued using the following approaches: debt
securities are normally valued based on price data obtained from observed transactions and market price
quotations from broker dealers and/or pricing vendors; equity securities are valued using fair value per share for
each fund. Certificates of deposit classified in level 2 are valued using broker quotes that utilize observable market
inputs. Securities classified as Level 3 have limited trade information, these securities are priced or using the last
trade price or estimated using recent trade prices. At September 30, 2024, the Town had no investments in the fair
value hierarchy.
Certain investments that are measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient
have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts included below approximate net asset
value for the applicable external investment pool balances. Additionally, the Town has investments in
governmental pools and nonnegotiable CDs as listed below, which are recorded at amortized cost, and excluded
from the fair value hierarchy.
At September 30, 2024, the Town had the following investments:

Note 7.Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
business interruption; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; employee health benefits; and other claims of
various natures. The Town participates in the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (Pool) which
provides protection for risks of loss. Premiums are paid to the Pool that retains the risk of loss beyond the Town’s
policy deductibles. Any losses reported but unsettled or incurred and not reported, are believed to be insignificant
to the Town’s basic financial statements. For the last three years, there have been no significant reductions of
insurance coverage or insurance settlements in excess of insurance coverage.
Note 8.Contingencies
Federal Grant Programs
The Town participates in various federal grant programs, the principal of which are subject to program compliance
audits pursuant to the Single Audit Act as amended. Accordingly, the Town’s compliance with applicable grant
requirements will be established at a future date. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the
granting agencies cannot be determined at this time, although the Town anticipates such amounts, if any, will be
immaterial.

Note 9.Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Town participates as one of over 900 plans in the defined benefit cash-balance pension plan administered by
the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is a statewide public retirement plan created by the State
of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code (the
TMRS Act) as an agent multiple-employer retirement system for employees of Texas participating cities. The
TMRS Act places the general administration and management of TMRS with a six-member, Governor-appointed
Board of Trustees; however, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS issues a publicly
available Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) that can be obtained at tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the Town are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing body of
the Town, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the Member’s benefit is calculated based on the sum of the Member’s contributions, with interest,
and the Town-financed monetary credits with interest. The retiring Member may select one of seven monthly
benefit payment options. Members may also choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a lump sum distribution
in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the total Member
contributions and interest. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the Town, within the options
available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes.
Plan provisions for the Town were as follows:
Member Deposit Rate 7%
Town Matching Ratio 2 to 1
Updated Service Credit 100% Transfers
Annuity Increases to Retirees 30% CPI-U since retirement date
Vesting 5 years
Service Retirement Eligibilities 5 years/age 60, 20 years/any age
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2023, valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the benefit
terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 63
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 118
Active employees 72
253
Contributions
Member contribution rates in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of the Member’s total compensation, and the Town
matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of the Town.
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each Town is determined annually by the actuary,
using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The Town’s contribution rate is based on the liabilities

created from the benefit plan options selected by the Town and any changes in benefits or actual experience over
time.
Employees for the Town were required to contribute 7% of their annual compensation during the fiscal year. The
contribution rates for the Town were 12.68% and 12.90% in calendar years 2023 and 2024, respectively. The
Town’s contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2024, were $930,909 and were equal to the
required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The Town’s Net Pension Liability was measured as of December 31, 2023, and the Total Pension Liability (TPL)
used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The Total
Pension Liability in the December 31, 2023, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Overall payroll growth 2.55% per year, adjusted down for population declines, if any
Investment rate of return 6.75% net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation
Salary increases are based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members are based on the
PUB(10) mortality tables with 110% the Public Safety table used for males and 100% of the General Employee
table used for females. Mortality rates for healthy retirees and beneficiaries are based on the Gender-distinct 2019
Municipal Retirees for Texas mortality tables. Male rates are multiplied by 103% and female rates are multiplied by
105%. The rates for actives, healthy retirees and beneficiaries are projected on a fully generational basis by the
most recent Scale MP-2021 to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the same
mortality tables for healthy retirees are used with a 4-year set-forward for males a 3-year set-forward for females.
In addition a 3.5% and 3.0% minimum mortality rate is applied, for males and females, respectively, to reflect the
impairment for younger members who become disabled. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by
the most recent Scale MP-2021 to account for future mortality improvements subject to the 3% floor.
The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial investigation of the experience of TMRS
over the four-year period from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2022. The assumptions were adopted in 2023
and first used in the December 31, 2023, actuarial valuation. The post-retirement mortality assumption for Annuity
Purchase Rates (APRs) is based on the Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011 and
dated December 31, 2013. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital
appreciation as well as the production of income to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding needs of TMRS.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined by best estimate ranges of
expected returns for each major asset class. The long-term expected rate of return is determined by weighting the
expected return for each major asset class by the respective target asset allocation percentage.
The target allocation and best estimates of the expected return for each major asset class in fiscal year 2024 are
summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Target Real Rate of Return
Asset Class Allocation (Arithmetic)
Global Equity 35.00%6.70%
Core Fixed Income 6.00%4.70%
Non-Core Fixed Income 20.00%8.00%
Other Public and Private Markets 12.00%8.00%
Real Estate 12.00%7.60%
Hedge Funds 5.00%6.40%
Private Equity 10.00%11.60%
Total 100.00%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that Member and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified
in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plan’s Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive Members. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the Total Pension Liability.

Texas Municipal Retirement System Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
Plan Description
Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) administers an optional death benefit plan, the Supplemental Death
Benefits Fund (SDBF), which operates like a group-term life insurance plan. This is a voluntary program in which
participating member cities may elect, by ordinance, to provide supplemental death benefits for their active
Members with optional coverage for their retirees. The Town has elected to participate in the SDBF for its active
members, including retirees. As the SDBF covers both active and retiree participants with no segregation of
assets, the SDBF is considered to be an unfunded single-employer OPEB plan (i.e., no assets are accumulated in
a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75).
Benefits Provided
The death benefit for active Members provides a lump-sum payment approximately equal to the Member’s annual
salary (calculated based on the Member’s actual earnings for the 12-month period preceding the month of death).
The death benefit for retirees is considered another postemployment benefit (OPEB) and is a fixed amount of
$7,500.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2023, valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the benefit
terms:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 37
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 31
Active employees 72

Town of Trophy Club, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
56
Contributions
The Town contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual actuarial valuation.
The rate is based on the mortality and service experience of all employees covered by the SDBF and the
demographics specific to the workforce of the Town. The funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that
adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year. As such, contributions
fund the covered active Member and retiree deaths on a pay-as-you-go basis. Due to the SDBF being considered
an unfunded OPEB plan, benefit payments are treated as being equal to the Town’s yearly contributions for
retirees.
The retiree portion of the contribution rates for the Town to the SDBF were 0.08% and 0.08% for calendar year
2023 and 2024, respectively. The Town’s contributions to the SDBF for the year ended September 30, 2024, were
$5,192, and were equal to the required contributions.
Total OPEB Liability
The Town’s Total OPEB Liability was measured as of December 31, 2023, and the Total OPEB Liability was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions:
The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2023, actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Salary increases 3.60% to 11.85% including inflation
Discount rate 3.77% (4.05% in prior year)
Retirees' share of benefit- related costs $ 0
All administrative expenses are paid through the Town’s Pension Trust and accounted for under reporting
requirements of GASB Statement No. 68. Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates
for active members, retirees, and beneficiaries were based the gender-distinct 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas
mortality tables. Male rates are multiplied by 103% and female rates are multiplied by 105%. The rates are
projected on a fully generational basis by the most recent Scale MP-2021 (with immediate convergence). Mortality
rates for disabled annuitants were based on the mortality tables for with a 4 year set-forward for males and a 3
year set-forward for females. In addition, a 3.5% and 3% minimum mortality rate will be applied to reflect the
impairment for younger members who become disabled for males and females, respectively. The rates are
projected on a fully generational basis by Scale MP-2021 (with immediate convergence) to account for future
mortality improvements subject to the floor.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2023, valuation was based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period ending December 31, 2022. Because the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund is
considered an unfunded trust under GASB Statement No. 75, the relevant discount rate for calculating the Total
OPEB Liability is based on the Fidelity Index’s “20-Year Municipal GO AA Index” rate as of the measurement date.

Retiree Health Care Plan
Plan Description
The Town offers retired employees and their dependents the option to retain health, dental, and vision insurance
coverage under the Town’s insurance carrier until the age 65 through a single employer defined benefit plan. The
Town does not make a direct contribution for retiree medical coverage. The retirees participate in the same plan
as active employees. This effect on cost is considered to be an implicit rate subsidy. To be eligible for retiree
health plan benefits, retired employees must be at least age 55 and have 10 years of service with the Town. The
plan does not issue a separate report. Benefit provisions for retirees are not mandated by any form of employment
agreement and the continued provision of these benefits is based entirely on the discretion of the Town Council.
No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB 75.
Benefits Provided
Retiree medical coverage levels for retirees are the same plans and benefits for all active employees in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Town’s current health plan. Premiums for the retiree health plans
are 195% of the current contribution rate for active employees. The plans themselves are the same as well with
regard to benefits and structure with no differentiation. The contributions and coverage continue until the retiree
reaches age 65.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At September 30, 2024, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Total OPEB Liability
The Town’s Total OPEB Liability was measured as of September 30, 2024, and the Total OPEB Liability was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of September 30, 2024.
Actuarial Assumptions:
The Total OPEB Liability in the September 30, 2024, actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Salary increases 3.50%, including inflation
Discount rate 4.06% (4.77% in prior year)
Retirees' share of benefit- related costs Retiree pays a 195% of the active employee monthly
contribution rate for medical/ dental/vision coverage
Health-care cost trend rates Level 4.50%
Mortality rates were based on RPH-2014 Total Table with Projection MP-2021. Because the Retiree Health Care
Plan is considered an unfunded trust under GASB Statement No. 75, the relevant discount rate for calculating the
Total OPEB Liability is based on the S&P Municipal Bond 20-Year High Grade Rate index as of the measurement
date.

Note 11.Deferred Compensation Plan
The Town has established a single-employer defined contribution, deferred compensation plan (457 Plan) in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code, Section 457(b). The 457 Plan is available to all full-time employees of the
Town. The 457 Plan is administered by ICMA Retirement Corporation doing business as Mission Square
Retirement. Benefit provisions are contained in the plan document and were established and can be amended by
action of the Town Council. All 457 Plan assets and income are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of
participants and their beneficiaries; therefore, it is not reported in the financial statements of the Town.
The 457 Plan permits employees to defer a portion of their salaries until future years. The benefits of the 457 Plan
are not available to employees until termination, retirement, or unforeseeable emergency. Benefits are available to
employee’s beneficiaries in case of death. The Town does not contribute to the 457 Plan.
Note 12.Tax Abatements
The Town enters into tax abatement agreements with local businesses under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local
Government Code. The Town has the authority under both Article III, Section 52-a of the Texas Constitution and
Chapter 380 to make public funds available for the purposes of promoting local economic development and
stimulating business and commercial activity with the Town. The Town offers individual incentive packages to
attract new business to the Town. Abatements may be granted by Town Council resolution to companies or
developers agreeing to relocate to the Town or to establish a new business in the Town. As part of the
agreements, the Town agrees to refund a portion of incremental Local Sales and Use Tax, Type B Sales and Use
Tax, and/or Property Taxes after confirmation of payment. The agreements entered into by the Town include
clawback provisions should the recipient of the tax abatement fail to fully meet its commitments, such as annual
sales levels or appraised values of real and personal property located on the project site. As a part of these
agreements, the Town may also provide Developers financial assistance for Developer’s expenditures made
towards the Project. In addition to tax abatements, the Town occasionally makes additional commitments in its
economic development incentive agreements. The following additional commitments have been made:
The Town agreed to provide a loan of $200,000 to fund certain permanent improvements to a building
related to a qualified project during fiscal year 2021. The loan was to be paid back with interest of 2%
calculated annually within four years of the date the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. During fiscal year
2022, the payee closed operations and was in default of the agreement. The Town is currently developing
a revised repayment plan with expectations of full collectability of the original outstanding amount. The
current loan amount is the note receivable balance in the Economic Development Corporation.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the
Town. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne
by the residents and businesses of the Town of Trophy Club. This process recognizes that, when considering the
government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and
businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and
therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.

Overview & Responsibilities
Matter Discussion
Scope of Our
Audit
This report covers audit results related to your financial statements and supplementary information:
As of and for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Conducted in accordance with our contract dated August 19, 2024.
Our
Responsibilities Forvis Mazars is responsible for forming and expressing opinions about whether the financial
statements that have been prepared by management, with the oversight of those charged with
governance, are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP).
Audit Scope &
Inherent
Limitations to
Reasonable
Assurance
An audit performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) is designed to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about the
financial statements. The scope of our audit tests was established in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole and did not include a detailed audit of all transactions.
Extent of Our
Communication
In addition to areas of interest and noting prior communications made during other phases of the
engagement, this report includes communications required in accordance with GAAS that are
relevant to the responsibilities of those charged with governance in overseeing the financial reporting
process, including audit approach, results, and internal control. The standards do not require the
auditor to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to be communicated with
those charged with governance.
Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm, have complied with all
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
Your
Responsibilities
Our audit does not relieve management or those charged with governance of your responsibilities.

Matter Discussion
Distribution
Restriction
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of the following and is not intended
to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties:
Town Council and Management
Others within the Town
Other Information Accompanying the Audited Financial Statements
The audited financial statements are presented along with management’s annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR).
Management, or those charged with governance, is responsible for preparing the ACFR.
We were not engaged to audit the introductory and statistical information contained in the annual comprehensive financial
report (ACFR), and as a result, our opinions do not provide assurance as to the completeness and accuracy of the
information contained therein.
As part of our procedures, we read the entire report to determine if financial information discussed in sections outside the
financial statements materially contradicts the audited financial statements. If we identify any such matters, we bring them
to management’s attention and review subsequent revisions.
Auditor Objectives Related to Other Information
Our objectives related to the other information accompanying the audited financial statements were to:
Consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements
Remain alert for indications that:
A material inconsistency exists between the other information and the auditor’s knowledge obtained in the
audit, or
A material misstatement of fact exists or the other information is otherwise misleading
Respond appropriately when we identify that such material inconsistencies appear to exist or when we otherwise
become aware that other information appears to be materially misstated. Potential responsive actions would
include requesting management to correct the identified inconsistency
Include the appropriate communication in our auditor’s report, disclosing the procedures performed on the Other
Information, as well as the results obtained
No material inconsistencies were noted in our review of the other information.
Qualitative Aspects of Significant Accounting Policies & Practices
Significant Accounting Policies

Alternative Accounting Treatments
No matters are reportable
Management Judgments & Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of financial statement preparation by management, based on its judgments.
Significant areas of such estimates for which we are prepared to discuss management’s estimation process and our
procedures for testing the reasonableness of those estimates include:
Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable
Net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources
Total other postemployment benefit liability (OPEB) and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources
Key estimates related to leases - lease discount rate, lease term, and lease payments
Financial Statement Disclosures
The following areas involve particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures for which we are prepared to discuss the
issues involved and related judgments made in formulating those disclosures:
Revenue recognition
Net pension liability
Total OPEB liability
Tax abatement disclosures
Leases
Our Judgment About the Quality of the Town’s Accounting Principles
No matters are reportable
Adjustments Identified by Audit
During the course of any audit, an auditor may propose adjustments to financial statement amounts. Management
evaluates our proposals and records those adjustments that, in its judgment, are required to prevent the financial
statements from being materially misstated.
A misstatement is a difference between the amount, classification, presentation, or disclosure of a reported financial
statement item and that which is required for the item to be presented fairly in accordance with the applicable financial
reporting framework.
Proposed & Recorded Adjustments
Auditor-proposed and management-recorded entries include the following:
Adjustments to record various due to/due from balances
Reclassification between wages payable and cash at year-end
Entries related to GASB 68, 75, and 87 - outsourced to Forvis Mazars
Entries to convert from modified accrual to full accrual basis of accounting - outsourced to Forvis Mazars
Various reclassification entries for reporting purposes - outsourced to Forvis Mazars

Required Communications Regarding Internal Control (AU-C 265)
Consideration of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Town as of and for the year ended September 30,
2024, in accordance with GAAS, we considered the Entity’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control).
This consideration served as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements.
However, this consideration was not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal
control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraphs and was not
designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and,
therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations,
during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Categorizing Deficiencies by Severity
Deficiency
A deficiency in internal control
exists when the design or operation
of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the
normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent or
detect and correct misstatements
on a timely basis.
Significant Deficiency
A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material
weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those
charged with governance.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that material
misstatements of the Entity’s financial
statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely
basis.
Identified Deficiencies
We identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be deficiencies.
Deficiencies
Segregation of Duties: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls to
safeguard the Town's assets. During internal control analysis, we noted instances where individuals had access,
recording and monitoring capabilities within the cash outflow (including payroll) and cash inflow transaction cycles.
Although this concentration of responsibilities may be efficient, it could lead to possible errors or irregularities.
Management should evaluate the cost versus the benefits of further segregating these duties by hiring additional
personnel or shifting certain accounting duties to other current employees to assist in implementing additional
monitoring or other compensating controls.
We observed matters that we consider to be deficiencies that we communicated to management orally.
Town of Trophy Club, Texas 5 February 18, 2025
Page 258 of 280
Other Matters
We also observed other matters and offer these comments and suggestions with respect to matters which came to our
attention during the course of the audit of the financial statements.
We can discuss these matters further at your convenience and may provide implementation assistance for changes or
improvements.
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences (GASB 101). This statement updates the recognition and
measurement guidance for compensated absences under a unified model. It defines compensated absences and
requires that liabilities be recognized in financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement
focus for leave that has not been used and leave that has been used but not yet paid or settled. A liability for
compensated absences should be accounted for and reported on a basis consistent with governmental fund
accounting principles for financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus.
This statement amends the existing requirement to disclose the gross increases and decreases in a liability for
compensated absences to allow governments to disclose only the net change in the liability (as long as they identify
it as a net change). In addition, governments are no longer required to disclose which governmental funds typically
have been used to liquidate the liability for compensated absences. GASB 101 is effective for the Town’s fiscal year
ended September 30, 2025.
GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures (GASB 102). Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement 102, Certain Risk Disclosures, requires governments to disclose information about certain
concentrations or constraints that could affect services provided or the ability to meet obligations as they come due.
Governments should start planning for compliance by identifying potential constraints and concentrations,
assessing risks related to these factors, developing processes to evaluate and monitor disclosure criteria, and
preparing to gather and present the required information in financial statement notes. GASB 102 is effective for the
Town’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements (GASB 103). Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements (GASB 103), improves the
financial reporting model by standardizing the presentation for various matters within governmental financial
statements. The purpose is to eliminate diversity in practice and improve comparability. Impacted areas include
management’s discussion and analysis, unusual or infrequent items, the definitions and presentation of operating
and nonoperating revenues and expenses in enterprise funds, presentation of major component units, presentation
of budgetary comparison information, and financial trends information within the statistical section of separately
issued financial reports. GASB 103 is effective for the Town’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, and all
reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is encouraged. Changes are required to be made retroactively to
the earliest period presented.
GASB Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets (GASB 104). Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets, (GASB 104), requires certain types of
capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures. GASB 104 requires lease assets
recognized in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance
with Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements,
subscription assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements, and intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class. In
addition, GASB 104 requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. GASB 104 is effective for the
Town’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, and all reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is
encouraged. The requirements of this Statement should be applied retroactively to all periods presented in the
basic financial statements, if practicable.

OMB Issues Updated Uniform Guidance. In April 2024, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued
revisions to the OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements, which is now called the OMB Guidance for Federal
Financial Assistance. The revisions impact several parts of the guidance and are intended to improve federal
financial assistance management, transparency, and oversight through more accessible and easily understandable
guidance. Several key thresholds have been revised for the first time in over a decade, including raising the
threshold for a single audit from expenditures of $750,000 to $1,000,000. The type A program threshold for entities
expending awards from $1 million to $34 million is also raised from $750,000 to $1,000,000. In addition, the
revision updates the cost accounting standards and disclosure statement to remove the requirement to submit a
DS-2 disclosure statement in support of an indirect rate. The effective date for the final guidance, including the
increase in the single audit threshold, is October 1, 2024.

TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2025
FROM: Chase Ellis, Director of Parks & Recreation
AGENDA ITEM: Consider proposed options for the Community Pool Renovation Design and
Construction Management project. (Chase Ellis, Director of Parks &
Recreation)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: On November 8, 2022, the Town Council approved a renovation
project for the community pool facility, structured into a two-phase build-out. The approved
motion stated, "to approve the agreement with Halff & Associates for the Community Pool
Capital Improvement Project not to exceed four (4) million dollars." The motion passed
unanimously.
Phase 1 Completion
Phase 1, completed following the 2023 swim season, involved substantial upgrades to the
facility. These improvements included:
• Replacement of filtration systems and pump room equipment.
• Restroom renovations.
• Enhancements to the concession and office areas.
• Painting of splash pad amenities.
Reevaluation of Project Approach
After Phase 1, the Parks & Recreation Director and Town Manager conducted a review of the
current contract and the completed work. It was determined that terminating the agreement
with Halff & Associates and initiating a new request for qualifications (RFQ) process would
better serve the Town. This decision aimed to prioritize transparency, ensure comprehensive
project design, and incorporate extensive community input for the additional amenities
planned in Phase 2.
Transition to Parkhill and Community Engagement
Following the RFQ process, Parkhill was selected and presented to the Council to lead the
engagement and preliminary design for Phase 2. In August, Parkhill conducted a series of public
engagement events at the community pool to gather input from residents regarding desired
future amenities. Additionally, an online survey was distributed for those unable to attend in
person, generating over 100 community responses.
Progress and Preliminary Designs
Using the feedback collected from public engagement and the survey, Parkhill collaborated
Page 272 of 280
with Town staff to develop three schematic design options with preliminary cost estimates.
These designs are under review and will guide the planning and construction of additional
amenities for the community pool, ensuring alignment with community preferences and
budget considerations. The options were presented to the Parks & Recreation Board at their
December meeting, and the Board requested that one of the presented options be refined
based on additional board feedback as well as the desire for that option to be presented within
the project budget amount. The updated options were presented to the Parks & Recreation
Board at their February 17, 2025 Board Meeting, and the Board voted to provide a
recommendation to present to the Town Council.
Next Steps
The next steps include finalizing the design selection, refining cost estimates, and presenting a
comprehensive proposal to the Town Council for approval before Phase 2 construction begins.
The focus remains on delivering a modernized and community-driven pool facility that meets
the Town’s recreational needs.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: At their February 17, 2025 Parks & Recreation Board
Meeting, the Board recommended (6-1) Option 3 with the potential inclusion for a double
slide. Parkhill and staff will are working to create a two-slide option that can be supported by
the current budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: Phase 2 of the Community Pool Renovation Project has a budget of $2.4
million, which is appropriated in the FY 2025 Budget in the Capital Improvement Projects Fund.
