CITY OF

ig
Finance Department
February 21, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers and Citizens of the City of Southlake, Texas:
It is with pleasure that we submit to you the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of
the City of Southlake for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. This report was prepared by
the Finance Department in accordance with the Southlake Charter, statutes, and generally
accepted accounting principles for governments. In addition to meeting legal requirements,
this report reflects the City's commitment to full financial disclosure. We encourage you to
thoroughly read this report and take the opportunity to discuss some of the important items it
addresses.
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. We believe that the
City's current system of internal controls adequately safeguards assets and provides reasonable
assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness
of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge
and belief, the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a
manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations. All disclosures
necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities have
been included.
Weaver & Tidwell, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion
on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The
Independent Auditor's Report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the Independent Auditor's
Report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal, and the two should be read in
conjunction with each other.

PROFILE OF SOUTHLAKE
General Information
Although Southlake has been a high -growth community for years, when the first settlers arrived
in 1845, they found only a vast area of land and trees where the Grand Prairie and Cross Timbers
merged. As the site of the first permanent settlement in Tarrant County, a portion of present-
day Southlake was homesteaded in 1866, which consisted of 360 acres. Keeping with the time,
the primary industry was agriculture. Farmers grew peanuts, grains, and cotton, and families
raised their own livestock.
The area that would become Southlake remained a rural farming community for more than 100
years until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built Lake Grapevine in 1952. The lake spurred much
of the area's early growth and was the beginning of dramatic change. The city was officially
incorporated on September 25, 1956, by a public vote of 30 in favor and 24 against. The original
city contained 1.62 square miles and had a population of just over 100. The residents chose to
call this new town Southlake because it was... south of Lake Grapevine! The Southlake Fire
Department was launched in 1965, and the first piece of fire equipment was a 1950 Diamond T-
Military unit with a tank capacity of 1,000 gallons and an auxiliary pump. The first police chief
was hired in 1966, and the city purchased its first patrol car in 1967.
The opening of the Dallas -Fort Worth International Airport in 1974 served as the next catalyst of
growth in the area. Southlake residents adopted a home -rule charter in April 1987, which
created the current council-manager form of government. Six Council Members and a Mayor
are elected at large on a nonpartisan basis for staggered three-year terms. However, the most
crucial event in bringing residential subdivision development to Southlake was the completion
of water and sewer lines in the city's southern portion in the early 1990s.
By the 2000s, Southlake had become a boom-burb, with the population tripling to almost 22,000,
and was well known for its picturesque countryside, exemplary school district, and luxury
neighborhoods. Today, the City's population is just over 33,000 and is estimated to reach just
over 34,000 residents by the year 2050.
Since then, much like the area's first settlers were attracted to the area with its endless
possibilities, Southlake has continued attracting the suburban settlers desiring a high quality of
life and the small-town charm preserved from Southlake's past.
Services Provided
The City provides a full range of municipal services established by statute or charter, including
providing police, fire, and ambulance services, planning, zoning and development services,
engineering, streets and storm drainage infrastructure construction and maintenance, parks
operations and maintenance, recreation programming and facilities, library services, and other
general administrative services.
Water and sewer services and solid waste collection are provided under an enterprise fund
concept, with user charges set by the City Council to ensure adequate coverage of operating
expenses and payments of outstanding debt.

The financial reporting entity includes all the funds of the primary government, as well as all its
component units in accordance with GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and
Financial Reporting Standards, Section 2100, "Defining the Reporting Entity." Component units
are legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable and
for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such
that exclusion would cause the City's basic financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The City's financial statements include the following blended component units:
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation ("SPDC") was formed in January 1994 pursuant
to a successful election in November 1993 to adopt an additional half -cent sales tax for park
and recreation facility development. SPDC is organized exclusively to act on behalf of the City
for the financing, development and operation of parks and recreation facilities.
Also included in this report is financial information for the Southlake Crime Control and
Prevention District (the "District"). In November 1997, voters approved an additional half -cent
sales tax for Crime Control and Prevention initiatives. The District is organized exclusively to act
on behalf of the City for the financing, development, and crime control throughout the City.
vii
In May 2015, Southlake voters overwhelmingly approved the reallocation of a portion of the
District's half -cent sales tax for the purpose of constructing and operating a recreation center
through the Southlake Community Enhancement and Development Corporation ("CEDC").
The District's half -cent sales tax was reduced to a one -eighth cent tax, and the remaining three -
eighths was reallocated to address recreational and economic development needs for the
City, as permitted by State law, through CEDC.
This report also includes financial information for the Tax Increment Financing District (the "TIF"),
which was created in 1997 to encourage quality commercial growth. The TIF was formed to
finance and make public improvements under the authority of the Tax Increment Financing Act.
Additional information on these legally separate entities can be found in the notes to the
financial statements (see Note 1).
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The City is in a prime location in Northeast Tarrant County, 5 minutes west of Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport and 10 minutes east of the Alliance Airport, a commercial aviation and
industrial complex in north Fort Worth. State Highway 114, FM 1709, and FM 1938, the regional
road arterials, serve the City.
The City of Southlake is currently 92% developed and made up of over 2,600 businesses,
including 52 new businesses for FY 2024. Businesses from many industries, including professional,
scientific, and technical services, healthcare and social services, hospitality, retail, and banking
and financial services, have come together to make Southlake a full -service business
community.
Sabre, home of Travelocity.com, is the City's largest employer, with approximately 2,400
employees. Carroll I.S.D. and Charles Schwab are the next most significant employers, each with
approximately 1,100 employees.
Housing Permits
There were 48 single-family residential permits issued in FY 2024 with an average new home
construction value, excluding land value, of approximately $2,160,000. As noted in the chart
below, the City experienced decreased residential home construction.

Property Taxes
Total certified taxable value for commercial and residential property was $11.36 billion, an
increase of $954 million and a 9.2 percent increase from the prior year. New construction added
$172 million to the tax roll.
Tax rate management and tax relief have been guiding financial management principles that
Southlake has strategically implemented over time, beginning in 2009 with adopting a
homestead exemption. Since that time, Southlake has annually implemented tax relief, first in
the form of the homestead exemption and then beginning in 2019 with tax rate reductions. New
development and strong sales tax revenues combined with expenditure management have
made it possible to implement thirteen relief initiatives since 2009.
In FY 2024, the City incorporated a total tax rate of $0.319 per $100 valuation, reducing the rate
by $0.041 from FY 2023. The tax rate of $0.319 is split between General Fund operations and debt
service. The allocation for FY 2024 is $0.264 for general operations and $0.055 for debt service.
Sales Taxes
In Southlake, the total sales tax rate is 8.25%. The City receives $0.02 of sales tax for every dollar
spent in our city limits (the remainder goes to the State). One of those pennies goes to the
General Fund and can be spent on general operating costs, like supplies, salaries, and general
maintenance. The other penny is split between our Crime Control and Prevention District
("CCPD"), the Southlake Parks Development Corporation ("SPDC"), and the Community
Enhancement and Development Corporation ("CEDC").
Southlake Sales Tax Districts
1/8% CCPD
l% CEDC
1% General Fund
Sales taxes are an essential source of revenue for the City, making up approximately 29% of
total revenues. It is estimated that non-residents who shop and dine in Southlake generate up
to 70% of the sales tax revenue. These monies are used to support the City's general operations,
fund parks development, crime prevention and safety initiatives, construction and operations
of The Marq, and economic development, and pay off the debt for these funds. Utilizing special
sales tax districts has allowed the City of Southlake to maintain excellent financial conditions
and reduce the property tax burden.
ix
The City of Southlake experienced a decrease in sales tax collections during the fiscal year, as
indicated on the chart. Sales tax collections exceeded $42 million in FY 2024, a 7.23% decrease
from the previous year. This decrease was expected, however, as the City received significant
one-time audit adjustments at the end of FY 2023. These adjustments caused that year to
appear particularly unusual.

Financial Management Principles
The City has strong financial management principles that provide the framework for financial
sustainability.
• Tax rate management - The tax rate is allocated properly between maintenance
/operations and debt service.
• Structural balance - The City's ability to weather potential economic downturns or other
financial challenges is critical. The City does not use reserves to balance the operating
budget.
• Reserve management - The City's fund balance policy requires a minimum of 15% and
an optimum of 25%. The City uses "excess" reserves to fund one-time, "pay-as-you-go"
projects.
• Multi -year financial plan - The long-term effect of today's decisions on tomorrow's
financial situation is important during the budget process.
• Quality service delivery - The City is committed to meeting the needs of our community
through high -quality service delivery.
• Risk management - The City supports ongoing initiatives to safeguard public trust through
internal audits and other initiatives to maintain a strong control environment.
Multi -year Sustainability
Executive leaders evaluate the operational impact of all identified projects and include those
costs in future budget projections. The Executive Leadership Team has also begun a more
formalized 5-year financial roadmap that reflects known and planned expenditures to create
further predictability for future budgets.
xv
Staff monitors trends that depict the City's long-term financial health and uses these trends to
make decisions to reach financial and service goals. Thoroughly understanding economic
conditions is critical for proper planning.

financial future by adopting the Southlake Sustainability Plan as an element of the Southlake
Comprehensive Plan. It contains formal recommendations to ensure positive financial outcomes
for the City. Management is working with the City Council to update this plan, with formal
adoption scheduled for FY 2025.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of
City Council and Management of the
City of Southlake, Texas
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
2300 North Field Street, Suite 1000
Dallas, Texas 75201
972-490-1970
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Southlake, Texas (City), as
of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, 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) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). 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 City 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.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 13 to the basic financial statements, during the year ended September 30, 2024, the
City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 100, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections. Beginning fund balance has been restated as a result of the
implementation of this statement. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City's 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 City's ability to continue
as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently
known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P.
3 CPAs AND ADVISORS I WEAVER.COM
The Honorable Mayor and Members of
City Council and Management of the
City of Southlake, Texas
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 and Government
Auditing Standards 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 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 and Government Auditing Standards, 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 City'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 City'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 management's
discussion and analysis and the required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, 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.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of
City Council and Management of the
City of Southlake, Texas
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial
Statements and Schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements.
The Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and Schedules are 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 other
supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
Other Information Included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
Management is responsible for the other information included in the ACFR. 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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 21,
2025 our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The City of Southlake's Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to provide an
objective and easy -to -read analysis of the City's financial activities based on currently known facts,
decisions, and conditions. It is intended to provide a broad overview and short-term analysis of the City's
activities based on information presented in the financial statements. Specifically, this information is
designed to assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, provide an overview of the City's
financial activity, identify changes in the City's financial position (its ability to address the next and
subsequent years' challenges), identify material deviations from the approved budget, and identify
individual fund issues.
The City presents its financial statements in accordance with the reporting model required by
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34, Basic Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This reporting model
significantly changes not only the presentation of financial data but also the manner in which the
information is recorded.
The information contained within this MD&A is only a component of the entire financial statement report.
Readers should 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 v-xvii of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Southlake exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources on September 30, 2024, by $829,662,667 (net position). Of this
amount, $158,939,609 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The net position of the City's governmental activities increased by $33,994,334 while the net
position of business -type activities increased by $10,690,031.
• As of September 30, 2024, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $206,393,821. Of this amount, $44,905 is reported as nonspendable, $111,358,465 is
restricted by outside sources, $2,092,186 is committed for future uses, $75,878,532 is assigned by
management for specified purposes, and $17,019,733 is available for spending at the
government's discretion (unassigned fund balance).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was
$17,019,733, or 30.9% of total General Fund expenditures.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Southlake's outstanding debt totaled $122,696,656,
a net decrease of $6,384,463 from the previous year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The reporting focus is on the City as a whole and on individual major funds. It is intended to present a
more comprehensive view of the City's financial activities.
The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also includes
supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements
themselves.
0
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities. These statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances
in a manner similar to a private -sector business. Both are prepared using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, meaning that all the current year's revenues
and expenses are included regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets and deferred outflows of
resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including capital assets and long-term
obligations. The difference between the two is reported as net position. Over time, the increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating. Other indicators of the City's financial position should be taken into
consideration, such as the change in the City's property tax base and the condition of the City's
infrastructure (i.e., roads, drainage systems, water and sewer lines, etc.), to assess the overall financial
condition of the City more accurately.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. It focuses on both the gross and net costs of the government's various activities
and thus summarizes the cost of providing specific government services. This statement includes all
current year revenues and expenses.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities divide the City's activities into two types:
Governmental activities - Most of the City's basic services are reported here, including general
administration, debt services, public safety, public works, parks and community services, public library,
public events and facilities, planning and development, and finance. Property, sales, and franchise taxes
provide most of the financing for these activities.
Business -type activities - These are activities for which the City charges customers a fee to pay most or all
of the costs of a service it provides. The City's business -type activities include water distribution,
wastewater collection, and solid waste collection and disposal.
The government -wide financial statements are found on pages 25-26 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
The City of Southlake, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. 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. These statements focus on the most significant funds and may be used to find more
detailed information about the City's most significant activities. All the City's funds can be divided into
two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds - These funds account for the majority of the City's activities, which are essentially
the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide statements. However,
unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources and spendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year for future spending. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term
financing requirements.
The focus of the governmental funds financial statements is narrower than that of the government -wide
financial statements. Therefore, 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 -
IN
term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provided a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison. The reconciliation explains the differences between the government's
activities as reported in the government -wide financial statements and the information presented in the
governmental fund financial statements.
The City maintains 26 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, General Obligation Debt Service Fund, General
Capital Projects Fund, Southlake Parks Development Corporation Capital Projects Fund, Southlake Parks
Development Corporation Special Revenue Fund, and Community Enhancement Development
Corporation Special Revenue Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data for the other
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each
of the nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The basic governmental funds financial statements can be found on pages 30-36 of this report.
Proprietary Funds - When the City charges customers for services it provides, the activities are generally
reported in proprietary funds. The City of Southlake maintains two different types of proprietary funds:
enterprise and internal service funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the
government -wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer
operations and solid waste. These services are primarily provided to outside or non -governmental
customers.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for vehicle and equipment
replacement. Because these services predominantly benefit the governmental rather than business -type
functions, they have been included within the governmental activities in the government -wide financial
statements.
Proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information as the government -wide
financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements can be found on
pages 36-39 of this report.
Fiduciary funds - the City presents one trust fund, the Southlake OPEB Liability Trust Fund, which accounts
for the funding of post -employment healthcare benefits for retirees of the City and their dependents. The
financial statements for the fiduciary funds can be found on pages 45-46 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the government -wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements can be found
on pages 49-87 of this report.
GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position over time may be a useful indicator of the City's financial position. As of
September 30, 2024, the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources by $829,662,667 (net position) at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position, $547,115,657, reflects its investment in capital assets (land
and improvements, buildings, infrastructure, machinery and equipment, and right -to -use assets, net of
accumulated depreciation and amortization), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is
still outstanding. The City uses these assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets
are not available for future spending. Although the City reports its capital assets net of related debt, the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Governmental activities net position increased by $33,994,334. This can be largely attributed to the City's
total revenues of $120,566,306 exceeding total expenses of $88,180,827 by $32,385,479. Significant
changes in revenues and expenses between FY 2024 and FY 2023 include the following:
• The City received $4.8 million in public works -related capital grants and contributions for FY 2024,
including donated capital assets of $1.1 million and grant funding related to replacing the North
White Chapel Bridge for over $3.2 million. The total increase from FY 2023 was over $2.5 million.
• There was also a $3.2 million increase in interest income received by the City for FY 2024, largely
due to increased interest rates and the City's ability to reinvest lower -yielding investments, at
maturity, into higher -yielding securities that much better reflect current market conditions.
• Tax revenues decreased by almost $2.3 million. Sales taxes decreased by over $3.2 million. This
decrease was expected as FY 2023 appeared higher due to one-time audit adjustments received
from the state. Property taxes increased by almost $1 million. Property tax rates were reduced to
the no -new -revenue rate, so this increase was related to additional properties being added to
the tax roll and increases in total assessed property values.
13
Public safety expenses increased by over $1.1 million for FY 2024. Salary and benefit -related costs
were the driving factors for this increase, which resulted from scheduled raises and increased
overtime needs.
• Public works had a decrease of almost $1.4 million. This decrease can be attributed to reduced
non -capital project costs for FY 2024.
• Culture and recreation increased by almost $1.4 million. This increase can be attributed to the
purchase of replacement non -capital equipment, salary and benefit costs resulting from
scheduled raises, and staffing the Southlake Pickleball Complex, which opened in FY 2024.
The net position of business -type activities increased by $10,690,031. While revenues also consistently
outpace expenses in business -type activities, there were some significant increases and decreases in
revenues and expenses for FY 2024.
Charges for services declined by just over $2 million in FY 2024 as rainfall increased in some of the hottest
and highest water usage months, including June, July, and September. Investment earnings increased
by over $1.25 million, again, largely due to increased interest rates and the City's ability to reinvest lower -
yielding investments, at maturity, into higher -yielding securities that much better reflect current market
conditions.
Expenses increased by almost $500,000, the largest contributor being the rising cost of wastewater
treatment. The cost of wastewater plant expansion is passed through to all participating municipalities
and governments within the region of the Trinity River Authority ("TRA"). As the DFW metroplex has
continued to grow, the need for more capacity at these plants also continues to grow. Additionally, the
City saw a reduction in the cost of purchased water. This reduction offset a significant portion of this
increase from wastewater treatment. This reduction in water costs would be directly related to the
charges for services revenues and would also be a result of the rainfall received in FY 2024.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds - The focus of the City of Southlake's governmental funds is to provide information
on near -term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances
of $206,393,821. Approximately 8.2% or $17,019,733 constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is
available for spending at the government's discretion. Other portions of the fund balance are either
nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned to indicate that it is (1) not in spendable form, $44,905;
(2) restricted for particular purposes, $1 1 1,358,465; (3) committed for particular purposes, $2,092,186; or
(4) assigned for particular purposes, $75,878,532.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned
fund balance of the General Fund was $17,019,733. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may
be useful to compare both the unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund
expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 30.9% of total General Fund expenditures, while total
fund balance represents 86.3% of total General Fund expenditures.
The fund balance of the General Fund decreased by $1,426,858 during the current fiscal year. This net
decrease was the result of several factors, including:
• Property tax revenues increased by over $600,000 as additional properties were added to the tax
roll, and total assessed property values continued to rise.
14
• Sales tax revenues decreased by over $1.7 million. This decrease was expected as FY 2023
appeared higher due to one-time audit adjustments received from the state.
• There was also an over $650,000 increase in interest income received in the General Fund for FY
2024; this was largely due to high interest rates.
• Expenditures related to Support Services increased by over $870,000 for FY 2024. A majority of this
was for maintenance projects, including elevator remodeling, HVAC upgrades, flooring, and
various other projects at City facilities.
• Public Safety expenditures increased by over $1 million for FY 2024. Salary and benefit -related
costs were the driving factors for this increase, which resulted from scheduled raises and increased
overtime needs.
The General Obligation Debt Service Fund has a fund balance of $2,268,218, all of which is restricted for
debt service payment. The fund balance decreased during the year by $725,045. This decrease was
expected as reserves, property tax collections and future debt service requirements were all considered
when determining the current property tax rate.
The fund balance in the General Capital Projects Fund ended the year at $70,061,339, an increase of
$7,655,979. This increase can be attributed to (1) interfund transfers of $9.25 million to cash -fund upcoming
roadway, drainage, and other infrastructure projects, (2) intergovernmental revenues of $3.5 million
received to fund infrastructure projects, and (3) investment earnings also increased in this fund for FY 2024
by over $1.2 million because of high interest rates. These inflows of resources were made available to fund
various capital projects for the City and in FY 2024, the City spent $8.8 million of available project funding
on capital outlays in the General Capital Projects Fund.
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation Capital Projects Fund significantly increased expenditures,
by approximately $11.5 million, for FY 2024 related to turf projects. In FY 2023, the City Council approved
these projects to install new artificial turf on several sports fields at both Bicentennial and Bob Jones Park
to improve safety, drainage, and maintenance. Also, $5.5 million transfer was made from the Southlake
Park Development Corporation Special Revenue Fund to provide additional funding for future park
capital projects.
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation Special Revenue Fund increased its fund balance by
$367,967. This increase was primarily due to consistency in revenues from FY 2023 to FY 2024 overall, with
sales tax decreasing from one-time audit adjustments received in FY 2023, increased charges for services
received as the Southlake Pickleball Complex opened, and increased investment earnings from
consistently high interest rates. Operating expenditures also increased for the fund because of the
opening of the Pickleball Complex.
The Community Enhancement Development Corporation Special Revenue Fund increased its fund
balance by $4,156,989. Revenues outpaced expenditures for the year, but expenditures did increase by
almost $1 million. This expenditure increase was related to scheduled salary and benefit increases and
purchases of equipment following the capital replacement schedule.
15
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROPRIETARY FUNDS
The City's proprietary funds provide the same information found in the government -wide financial
statements but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position reported in the Proprietary Funds included $70,801,660 in the Water and Sewer
Fund and $13,086,009 in the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund. The total net position in the
Water and Sewer Fund increased by $10,690,031 while the net position of the Vehicle and Equipment
Replacement Fund increased by $1,870,132. Revenues consistently outpace expenses in the Water and
Sewer Fund, so even though revenues decreased by just over $2 million because of higher rainfall and
expenses increased by almost $500,000 because of wastewater treatment, the growth of net position still
remained strong. Transfers of $2.6 million to fund vehicle and equipment purchases, net of depreciation,
resulted in an increase in net position in the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The City made revisions to the original budget approved by the City Council. Management's estimate
of the General Fund's budgeted revenues increased $1,982,930 or 3.5% from the original budget based
on year-to-date experience. Actual revenues exceeded budget by $1,484,374. The General Fund
expenditure budget was amended by $1,060,005 to account for increases in legal settlements, property
and liability insurance, and vehicle maintenance. Actual expenditures, in total, were $1,920,404 less than
final budget. This favorable variance in conjunction with the revenue variance allowed actual ending
fund balance to exceed ending budgetary fund balance by $4,501,478.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets —As of September 30, 2024, The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and
business -type activities amounts to $628,741,824 (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization).
This investment includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure,
construction in progress, and right -to -use assets.
The City has elected to use the modified approach for its street system in lieu of the depreciation method.
An up-to-date inventory of these infrastructure assets was performed, and the annual costs to maintain
and preserve these assets were established and disclosed through administrative policy. The current
condition level of the street system meets the target condition level established by the City. There were
no significant changes in the condition levels of infrastructure assets, and the differences between the
estimated amounts necessary to maintain and preserve the street system at target condition levels and
the actual amount of expense incurred for that purpose for 2024 were not material.
Major capital projects completed during the current year included the following:
• Southlake Pickleball Complex
• Drainage improvements at Dove Creek Trail, Highland Creek Crossing, and Creekside Drive
• Kirkwood Intersection Improvements
• Bob Jones Nature Center Barn
• Various water line improvements

The City takes its debt obligation very seriously. Several years ago, the City Council, working with City
staff, set goals to reduce the debt as a percentage of assessed valuation over the total long-term debt.
As seen in the figure below, the City has reduced the percentage from 3.01 % in 2003 to 0.28% in 2024,
during a time of growth for the City. Our debt management strategies receive a rigorous annual review
from bond rating agencies tasked with letting potential borrowers know how credit -worthy the City is. The
City has three AAA ratings — a strong external endorsement of the City's financial management.

Through the City's use of cash and aggressive amortization schedules when debt is issued, the City has
reduced the property tax -supported debt per capita from $3,506 in 2010 to $1,179 in 2024.
The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5, of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to $2.50 per
$100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services including the payment of principal and
interest on general obligation long-term debt.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note 5 on pages 67-73 of this report.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The State of Texas does not have a personal income tax by constitution, so it operates primarily using sales
and gasoline taxes. Local governments rely primarily on property and sales taxes and fees to fund their
government activities.
While property taxes are important to the City, they represent 36.5% of total governmental revenue. Sales
tax has grown to the largest governmental resource, representing 37.8% of total governmental revenue.
The City monitors all of its resources and determines the need for program adjustment or fee increases
accordingly.
The FY 2025 adopted budget incorporates a tax rate of $0.305 per $100 valuation, reducing the rate by
just over one cent. The tax rate of $0.305 is split between General Fund operations and debt service. The
allocation for FY 2025 is $0.250 for general operations and $0.055 for debt service. The reduction has been
taken from the operations part of the rate.
The ongoing use of the 20% homestead exemption will complement the current over-65 exemption of
$75,000, disabled exemption of $75,000, and the over-65 tax freeze. The continuation of these exemptions
offers additional tax relief. A 20% homestead exemption will reduce the taxable value of an average -
valued home in Southlake by $218,883.
The property owner of an average -valued home will see the equivalent of a tax rate reduction of
approximately 6.4 cents per $100 valuation with the exemption applied. With the homestead exemption
in place, and considering the tax rate reduction, the equivalent residential tax rate on an average -valued
home is $0.241.
In
More than 70% of the City's General Fund budgeted expenditures are related to personnel costs. It is the
City's goal to continue to provide for a fair compensation and benefits program to ensure a stable and
high -performing workforce. The FY 2025 budget recognizes and addresses the competitive labor market
and the need to recruit and retain strong talent.
Multi -year financial planning is another budget development consideration, one of the most important.
Executive leaders evaluate the operational impact of all identified projects and include those costs in
future budget projections. Staff monitors trends that depict the long-term financial health of the City and
uses these trends to make decisions to reach financial and service goals.
The City has taken an additional formal step to understand and plan for the organization's financial future
by adopting the Sustainability Master Plan as an element of the Southlake Comprehensive Plan. It
contains formal recommendations to ensure positive financial outcomes for the City.

City of Southlake, Texas Exhibit 4
Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
to the Statement of Net Position
September 30, 2024
Total fund balances - governmental funds
$ 206,393,821
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and therefore, are not
reported in the governmental funds balance sheet (less $6,803,707 in assets allocated to
governmental activities from the internal service fund).
525,602,573
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources; therefore, interest
payable is not reported as a liability in the governmental funds balance sheet.
(314,927)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of certain activities, such as fleet
management, to individual funds. This amount represents the assets less the liabilities of the internal
service fund allocated to governmental activities.
19,889,716
OPEB asset has not been included in the governmental fund financial statements, as these assets do
not represent current financial resources.
865,618
Revenues earned but not available within sixty days of the year end are not recognized as revenue on
the fund financial statements.
486,500
For debt refundings, the difference between the acquisition price and net carrying amount of the debt
has been deferred and amortized in the government -wide financial statements. This amount is the net
of deferred losses, $321,049, and gains ($63,266) on refundings.
257,788
Deferred outflows of resources related to the Citys pension and OPEB liabilities result in an increase in
net position in the government -wide financial statements.
8,251,232
Deferred inflows of resources related to the City's pension and OPEB liabilities result in a decrease in
net position in the government -wide financial statements.
(1,279,092)
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable and net pension and OPEB liabilities, are not due and
payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the fund financial statements.

City of Southlake, Texas Exhibit 6
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances of the Governmental Fund
to the Statement of Activities
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
$ 6,277,888
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
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 of capital assets additions recorded in the current period (does
not include additions of $1,758,809 allocated from internal service fund).
24,672,473
Depreciation and amortization expense on capital assets are reported in the statement of activities
but does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization
expenses are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (does not include $1,351,619
allocated from internal service fund).
(10,024,229)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds) 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 the
amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of the
following items:
Issuance of right -to -use leases $ (752,937)
Issuance of SBITAs (377,356)
Principal payments on debt 9,900,211
Principal payments on financed purchases, lease and subscription liabilities 1,101,265
Amortization of premiums and deferred gains and losses 548,574
10,419,757
The changes in net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows from TMRS are not reported in the
governmental funds. This is the net effect of the decrease in the net pension liability, $4,261,714, increase in
deferred inflows of resources, ($331,457), and decrease in deferred outflows of resources, ($4,153,634).
(223,377)
The changes in total OPEB liability and deferred outflows/inflows from TMRS are not reported in
the governmental funds. This is the net effect of the increase in the total SDBF OPEB liability ($75,116),
decrease in deferred inflows of resources, $77,537, and decrease in deferred outflows of resources, ($20,607).
110,100)
The changes in net OPEB liability and deferred outflows/inflows for healthcare are not reported in
the governmental funds. This is the net effect of the increase in the total healthcare OPEB asset, $413,330,
increase in deferred inflows of resources, ($70,950), and decrease in deferred outflows of resources,
($221,613).
120,767
Current year changes in the long-term liability for compensated absences do not require the use of
current financial resources; and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
(429,055)
Current year changes in accrued interest payable do not require the use of current financial
resources; and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
69,600
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as
fleet management, to individual funds. The net income of the internal service fund is allocated entirely to
governmental activities.
1,870,132
Governmental funds do not recognize assets contributed by developers. However, in the statement
of activities, the fair value of those assets is recognized as revenue, then allocated over their estimated
useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
1,171,669
Gain on disposal of capital assets results in an increase in net position, but the net effect is not
reported in governmental funds.
5,654
Certain revenues in the government -wide statement of activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenue in the governmental funds.

City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General Statement
The City of Southlake (the City) operates under a Home Rule Council - Manager form of government. All
powers of the City are vested in an elected council, which enables local legislation, adopts budgets,
determines policies and appoints the City Manager. The City Manager is responsible for executing the
laws and administering the government of the City.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the accompanying
basic financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America applicable to state and local governments. Generally accepted accounting principles for local
governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB). The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below.
Financial Reporting Entity
The City is governed by an elected mayor and six -member council. The accompanying financial
statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is
considered to be financially accountable. The criteria for including legally separate organizations as
component units within the City's reporting entity are set forth in Section 2100 of GASB's Codification of
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards (GASB Codification).
Blended component units are, in substance, part of the primary government's operations, even though
they are legally separate entities. Thus, blended component units are appropriately presented as funds
of the primary government.
Based on these criteria, the financial information of the following entities has been blended within the
reporting entity. Individual financial statements are not available for these component units.
Southlake Parks Development Corporation (SPDQ - The SPDC is a nonprofit industrial development
corporation formed in January 1994 under the Development Corporation Act of 1979. The SPDC is
organized exclusively to act on behalf of the City for the financing, development and operation of parks
and recreation facilities. The affairs of the SPDC are managed by a seven member board of directors, of
which four are members of the City Council. The annual corporate budget and issuance of debt must be
approved by the City Council. Since the Board of the SPDC is substantively the same as the City Council,
the SPDC has been reported as a blended component unit.
Southlake Community Enhancement and Development Corporation (CEDC)_ - The CEDC was formed
under the Development Corporation Act of 1979, as amended, Title 12, Subtitle C1 of the Texas Local
Government Code. The CEDC is organized to promote economic development within the City, including
developing, implementing, providing and financing projects including a community entertainment and
recreation center for the City. The CEDC is governed by a seven member board appointed by the City
Council. The annual budget and issuance of debt must be approved by the City Council. Since the CEDC
provides services entirely to the City, it has been reported as a blended component unit.
Southlake Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) - The TIF was formed to finance and make public
improvements, under the authority of the Tax Increment Financing Act. The TIF is governed by a
nine member board of directors consisting of the eight members appointed by the City Council, and
one member appointed by Carroll Independent School District. Since the Board of the TIF is substantively
the same as the City Council, the City has operational responsibility for the TIF and the City receives
financial benefit from the TIF, the TIF has been reported as a blended component unit.
49
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Southlake Crime Control and Prevention District (CCDJ - The CCD was formed under Chapter 363 of the
Texas Local Government Code, the Crime Control and Prevention Act. The CCD is organized exclusively
to act on behalf of the City for the financing, development and crime control throughout the City. The
CCD is governed by a seven member board appointed by the City Council. The annual budget and
issuance of debt must be approved by the City Council. Since the CCD provides services entirely to the
City, it has been reported as a blended component unit.
Basis of Presentation
The government -wide financial statements (the statement of net position and the statement of activities)
report information on all of the activities of the City, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund
activity, within the governmental and business -type activities columns, has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees
and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program
are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
program.
Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit
from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The City segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid
financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Separate statements are presented for
governmental funds and proprietary funds. These statements present each major fund as a separate
column in the fund financial statements; all nonmajor funds are aggregated and presented in a single
column.
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balances of current financial
resources.
Governmental Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It 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 fund 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.
General Obligation Debt Service Fund
The General Obligation 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 City. The fund balance of the General Obligation Debt Service Fund is
restricted exclusively for debt service expenditures.
50
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
General Capital Projects Fund
The General Capital Projects Fund is used to account for resources used for the acquisition and/or
construction of capital facilities by the City, except those financed by proprietary funds and not
accounted for by another capital projects fund.
Southlake Parks Development Corporation Capital Projects Fund
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation Capital Projects (SPDCCP) Fund was established to
fund the acquisition and construction of park recreational facilities as approved by the SPDC board
of directors. The fund has been funded primarily through the issuance of general obligation debt.
Southlake Parks Development Corporation
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation (SPDC) Fund (Special Revenue) was established to
account for the general operations of the non-profit corporation established to finance, develop and
operate park and recreational facilities. The SPDC is funded primarily through municipal sales taxes.
Community Enhancement and Development Corporation
The Community Enhancement and Development Corporation (CEDC) Fund (Special Revenue) was
established to account for the general operations of the non-profit corporation established to
finance, develop and operate a community entertainment and recreation center. The CEDC is
funded primarily through municipal sales taxes and user fees.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. The accounting objectives are determinations of net income, financial position and
cash flow. All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are
included in the Statement of Net Position.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund
The Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund is used to account for the acquisition, operation and
maintenance of a municipal water and sewer utility, supported primarily by user charges to the public.
Additionally, the City reports an Internal Service Fund which is used to account for vehicle and equipment
replacement provided to departments of the City.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non -operating 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. Operating expenses for the
proprietary funds include the cost of personnel and contractual services, supplies and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non -operating
revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary Funds
The City also presents one trust fund, Southlake OPEB Liability Trust Fund. The City's OPEB Liability Trust Fund
accounts for the funding of postemployment healthcare benefits for retirees of the City and their
dependents which is presented as of December 31, 2023.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and
expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of
accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus
applied.
51
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
The government -wide statements and fund financial statements for proprietary and fiduciary funds are
reported using the accrual basis of accounting. The government -wide, proprietary fund, and fiduciary
trust fund financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. The
economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non -current)
are included in the statement of net position and the operating statements present increases (revenues)
and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized when earned, including unbilled water and sewer services which are accrued. Expenses are
recognized at the time the liability is incurred.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both
measurable and available.
"Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period. The City considers all revenues as available if they are collected within 60 days after year end.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on
long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes and interest are susceptible to accrual. Other receipts become
measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are recognized as revenue at that time.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, the City's general policy is to report money market
investments and short-term participating interest -earning investment contracts at amortized cost and to
report nonparticipating interest -earning investment contracts using a cost -based measure. However, if
the fair value of an investment is significantly affected by the impairment of the credit standing of the
issuer or by other factors, it is reported at fair value. All other investments are reported at fair value unless
a legal contract exists which guarantees a higher value. The term "short-term" refers to investments, which
have a remaining term of one year or less at the time of purchase. The term "nonparticipating" means
that the investment's value does not vary with market interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2024,
the investments held by the City had a remaining maturity of greater than one year from purchase and
accordingly are carried at fair value.
The City's cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, cash and pooled investment demand
deposits held with financial institutions, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months
or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents also includes long-term investments with
maturity of greater than one year. The classification of the City's cash and cash equivalents is reported in
Note 2.
The City pools idle cash from all funds for the purpose of increasing income through coordinated
investment activities. Interest earnings are allocated to the respective funds based upon each fund's
relative balance in the pool.
Cash and cash equivalents reported as restricted are restricted for debt service, acquisition and
construction of capital assets, and for utility deposits held by the City.
52
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Property Taxes
The City's property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for
all real and certain personal property located within the City. Appraised values are established by the
Central Appraisal Districts at 100% of estimated market value and certified by the Appraisal Review Board.
The assessed value upon which the 2023 levy was based on was $11,359,781,892. Taxes are due on
October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31.
The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to $2.50 per
$100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, including the payment of principal and
interest on general obligation long-term debt. The combined tax rate to finance general governmental
services including the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt for the year ended
September 30, 2024 was 0.319 per $100 of assessed valuation.
In Texas, countywide central appraisal districts are required to assess all property within the appraisal
district on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and are prohibited from applying any assessment ratios.
The value of property within the appraisal district must be reviewed every five years; however, the City
may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds."
Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are
reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances".
Transactions between Funds
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that
are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund
and as a reduction of expenditures/expenses in the fund reimbursed. All other interfund transactions,
except interfund services provided and used and reimbursements, are recorded as transfers. Interfund
services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at cost (first -in, first -out) and are determined annually by taking a physical inventory.
Inventory in the general fund consists of gasoline held for consumption and is reported on the
consumption method. Under the consumption method the cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time
individual inventory items are utilized.
Prepaid Items
Certain payments reflect costs applicable to future periods and are recorded as prepaid items in the
government -wide and fund financial statements. These items consist principally of postage and deposits
for purchases and are reported on the consumption method.
Leases
Effective October 1, 2021, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, which required the
recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating
leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions
of the contract.
Lessee - The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right -to -use lease asset (lease asset) in the
government -wide and proprietary funds financial statements.
53
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
At implementation of GASB Statement No. 87, the City initially measured the lease liabilities at the present
value of payments expected to be made during the remaining lease term. Subsequently, the lease
liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease right -to -use asset was
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 right -to use asset
is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it
uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease payments.
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate
charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing
rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the
measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price
that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a re -measurement of its lease and will
remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect
the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt
on the Statement of Net Position.
Lessor - The City recognizes a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources in the government -wide
and governmental funds financial statements.
At implementation of GASB Statement No. 87, the City measured 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 inflow 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.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the
expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease receipts.
• The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the
measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a re -measurement of its lease, 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.
Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs)
The City has noncancellable contracts with SBITA vendors for the right -to -use information technology (IT)
software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets). The City
recognizes a subscription liability, reported with long-term debt, and a right -to -use subscription asset
(an intangible asset), reported with other capital assets, in the government -wide and proprietary fund
financial statements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or
more.
54
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
At the commencement of a SBITA, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value
of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is
reduced by the principal portion of SBITA payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as
the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for SBITA payments made at or before the SBITA
commencement date, plus certain initial implementation costs. Subsequently, the subscription asset is
amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying
IT assets.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how the City determines (1) the discount rate
it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term and
(3) subscription payments.
The City uses the interest rate charged by the SBITA vendor as the discount rate. When the interest
rate charged by the SBITA vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental
borrowing rate as the discount rate for SBITAs.
The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the SBITA.
Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed
payments, variable payments fixed in substance or that depend on an index or a rate, termination
penalties if the City is reasonably certain to exercise such options, subscription contract incentives
receivable from the SBITA vendor, and any other payments that are reasonably certain of being
required based on an assessment of all relevant factors.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITAs and will
remeasure the subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly
affect the amount of the subscription liability.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, right -to -use lease assets, and infrastructure
assets, are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the
government -wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for proprietary funds. All
capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not
available. Donated assets are valued at acquisition value on the date donated.
The costs of normal repairs and maintenance that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend the asset lives are not capitalized. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life.
Depreciation/amortization has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the
straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
The street network is not depreciated. The City has elected to use the modified approach in accounting
for its street infrastructure. The modified approach allows governments to report as expenses in lieu of
depreciation, infrastructure expenditures which maintain the asset but do not add to or improve the asset.
Additions and improvements to the street network are capitalized. The City uses an asset management
system to rate street condition and quantify the results of maintenance efforts.
The City has established the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund to account for
City -owned vehicles and equipment. The fund receives transfers from other funds.
Right -to -use lease and subscription assets are amortized over the duration of the lease or subscription
using the straight-line method.
Compensated Absences
City employees earn vacation and sick leave, which may either be taken or accumulated, up to certain
amounts, until paid upon retirement or termination. Employees with 10 to 20 year tenures of continuous
employment with the City are eligible to receive payment of their unused sick leave, within certain
limitations. Upon termination or retirement, an employee is reimbursed up to a maximum number of hours
of vacation pay based upon the years of service. All vacation is accrued in the government -wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds
only if they have matured.
Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt
and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities,
business -type activities, or proprietary fund statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as
well as any deferred losses and gains on the refunding of bonds, are amortized over the life of the bonds
using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount. Issuance costs are recorded as expenses when incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as
other financing sources. Premiums and discounts received on debt issuances are reported as other
financing sources or uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Pensions and Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net pension and net OPEB liabilities (assets), pension and OPEB related
deferred outflows and inflows of resources and pension and OPEB expense, City specific information
about its Fiduciary Net Position in 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.
Information regarding the City's Total Pension Liability and Total OPEB Liability is obtained from TMRS
through reports prepared for the City by TMRS consulting actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company, in
compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
56
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Information regarding the City's Total OPEB Liability of its Retiree Health Care Plan is obtained from Public
Agency Retirement Services (PARS) through reports prepared for the City by PARS consulting actuary,
Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company, in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions.
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, 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 City has the following
items that qualify for reporting in this category:
Deferred loss on refunding - these deferred outflows result from the difference in 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.
Pensions/OPEB - these deferred outflows result from pension/OPEB contributions after the measurement
date (deferred and recognized as a reduction of the pension/OPEB liability in the following fiscal year);
changes in actuarial assumptions and/or differences between expected and actual economic
experience (deferred and amortized over the estimated average remaining lives of participants) and/or
differences in projected and actual earnings on pension/OPEB assets (deferred and amortized over a
closed five year period).
Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources, which represents acquisitions of net assets that apply
to future periods.
Deferred gain on refunding - these deferred inflows result from the difference in the debt's reacquisition
price and its carrying value that was refunded. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of
the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Pensions/OPEB - Differences in expected and actual experience and differences in assumption changes
are deferred and amortized over a closed period equal to the estimated average remaining lives of all
employees provided pensions through the plan, while investment experience differences are amortized
over a closed 5-year period.
Deferred Inflows from Leases
Collections of lease receivables are deferred in both the governmental fund and government wide
financial statements. These amounts are recognized in a systematic manner over the life of the lease.
Deferred Inflows from Unavailable Revenues
In addition to liabilities, the governmental funds balance sheet reports deferred inflows from receivables
that were not collected within 60 days of year-end. The deferred inflow from receivables balances and
changes are reported as a reconciling amount to the statements of net position and activities.

City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Fund Balances
The City classifies governmental fund balances as follows:
1. Nonspendable fund balance - includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required
to be maintained intact (example - inventory or permanent funds).
2. Restricted fund balance - includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers either constitutionally or through enabling legislation
(example - court technology and court security funds).
3. Committed fund balance - includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
determined by City Council (example - capital projects and police expenditures).
4. Assigned fund balance - comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific
purposes. Intent can be expressed by the City Council or their designee (Chief Financial Officer).
In governmental funds other than the General Fund, assigned fund balance represents the
amount that is not restricted or committed. This indicates that resources in other governmental
funds are, at a minimum, intended to be used for the purpose of that fund (example - facility
maintenance and economic investments).
5. Unassigned fund balance - is the residual classification of the General Fund and includes all
amounts not contained in other classifications.
The City has also adopted the following policies:
Committed Fund Balance - The City Council is the City's highest level of decision -making authority and
approval by ordinance is required to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment. The
ordinance must either be approved or rescinded, as applicable, prior to the last day of the fiscal year.
The amount subject to the constraint may be determined in the subsequent period.
Assigned Fund Balance - The City Council has authorized the City's Chief Financial Officer as the official
authorized to assign fund balance to a specific purpose as approved by this fund balance policy.
Unassigned Fund Balance - It is the goal of the City to maintain a fund balance in the General Fund, equal
to a minimum of 15% of General Fund budgeted operating expenditures, with the optimum goal of 25%.
The City considers a balance of less than 15% to be cause for concern, barring unusual or deliberate
circumstances.
It is the goal of the City to maintain 60 days of working capital in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund,
with the optimum goal of 90 days of working capital.
The City shall also maintain all reserve funds for all statutorily required reserve funds to guarantee debt
service.
Order of Expenditure of Funds - When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditures,
the City will start with the most restricted category and spend those funds first before moving to the next
category with available funds (restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned).
During fiscal year 2006, the City began assigning funds for strategic initiatives. The source of these funds is
reserves in excess of 25% of General Fund expenditures. The funds will be used for one-time high impact
projects involving infrastructure maintenance, community enhancement and capital acquisition and are
reported as assigned fund balance in the General Fund. The City reported an assigned fund balance in
its General Capital Projects Fund of $45,400,563 on September 30, 2024. This fund balance is assigned with
the intent to cash -fund future capital projects.

Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources and liabilities
plus deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation/amortization, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used
for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds.
Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the
enabling legislations adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors
or laws or regulations of other governments.
Sometimes the City 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 the City's policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before
unrestricted net position is applied.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses/expenditures during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deficit Fund Balance
There are no deficit fund balances reported as of September 30, 2024.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 2. Cash and Investments
The funds of the City must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract, contents of which
are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places approved pledged securities for
safekeeping and trust with the City's agent bank in an amount sufficient to protect City funds on a
day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to
the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insurance.
At September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the City's on demand deposits was $18,992,263 and the
bank balance was $19,211,504. As of September 30, 2024, none of the City's deposits were
uncollateralized.
The following legal and contractual provisions govern deposits and investments:
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the
areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies.
Among other things, the Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA) requires the City to adopt, implement, and
publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of principal and
liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected
rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average
dollar -weighted maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff
quality and capabilities, and (9) and bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit.
Statutes and the City's investment policy authorized the City to invest in the following investments as

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value
to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate
risk is by investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments
with an average maturity of less than 60 days, thus reducing the interest rate risk. The City monitors the
interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The
City has no specific limitations with respect to this metric.
As of September 30, 2024, the City did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to interest rate
fluctuations.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of
the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds
Investment Act, the City's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end
for each investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any
one issuer. As of September 30, 2024, the City investments other than external investment pools that
represent 5% or more of the City's investments include mutual funds, municipal bonds, commercial paper
and U.S. Government securities as described in the table in the following Custodial Credit Risk section.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution,
a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the
event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the
value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds
Investment Act and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would
limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for
deposits:
The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local
governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated
under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit).
The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance
less the FDIC insurance at all times. As of September 30, 2024, none of the City's cash deposits were
uncollateralized.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application,
provides a framework for measuring fair value which establishes a three -level fair value hierarchy that
describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that
a government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs —other than quoted prices included within Level 1—that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
If a price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, a government should measure fair value using
another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs. If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than
one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Mutual funds reported as level 1 are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the City at
year end. The NAV is a quoted price in an active market.
U.S. Government Securities, commercial paper and municipal bonds classified in Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on
the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
Investment in State Investment Pools
The City is a voluntary participant in four investment pools: TexPool, TexStar, Texas CLASS and Lone Star.
State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises responsibility over TexPool. This 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. TexPool operates in a
manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool uses
amortized costs rather than market value to report net position to compute share prices. Accordingly, the
fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares.
TexStar is administered by Hilltop Securities and JPMorgan Chase. TexStar is a local government
investment pool created under the Interlocal Cooperation Act specifically tailored to meet Texas state
and local government investment objectives of preservation of principal, daily liquidity, and competitive
yield. TexStar uses amortized costs rather than market value to report net position to compute share prices.
Accordingly, the fair value of the position in TexStar is the same as the value of TexStar shares.
Texas CLASS is organized under the Sixth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement in accordance with all
the requirements contained in section 2256.016 of the Public Funds Investment Act. Texas CLASS is
administered by Public Trust Advisors, LLC and all funds are held by the custodial agent, Wells Fargo N.A.
Texas CLASS may invest in obligations of the U.S. or its agencies and instrumentalities; repurchase
agreements; SEC -registered money market funds rated in the highest rating category by at least
one NRSRO; and commercial paper rated A-1, P-1 or equivalent by two nationally recognized rating
agencies. Texas CLASS is measured at fair value (i.e., net asset value).
The Lone Star Investment Pool (the Pool) is organized in conformity with the Interlocal Cooperation Act,
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the
Texas Government Code. The Pool is governed by an 11 member Board of Trustees, consisting of
individuals representing entities participating in the Pool. The fair value of the City's position in the Pool is
the same as the value of the Pool shares.

Notes to the Financial Statements
At the commencement of a lease, the City 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 inflow 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 City has $726,746 remaining in lease receivables and $680,315 remaining in
deferred inflow as of September 30, 2024. The City recorded lease revenue including interest of $287,283
in the fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2024, the expected lease receipts through the expiration of all leases for which the
City is a lessor is as follows:

notes to provide for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities and infrastructure.

Note 7. Retirement Plan
A. Plan Description
The City participates as one of 934 plans in the defined benefit cash -balance 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 (Annual Report) that
can be obtained at tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the City are required to participate in TMRS.
B. Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the city, 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 city -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.
At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan
began of a theoretical amount at least equal to two times what would have been contributed by the
employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan
began are a percent (100%, 150%, or 200%) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition,
the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated
service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated
contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary
credits and employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate
and City matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been
the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement,
the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the
employer -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service. A
member is vested after 5 years. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within
the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the
statutes.

City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 191
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 318
Active employees
C. Contributions
384
893
Member contribution rates in TMRS are either 5%, 6% or 7% of the Member's total compensation, and the
city matching percentages are either 100%, 150% or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of
the city. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually
by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The city's contribution rate is
based on the liabilities created from the benefit plan options selected by the city and any changes in
benefits or actual experience over time.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7% of their annual compensation during the fiscal
year. The contribution rates for the City were 12.46% and 12.56% in calendar years 2023 and 2024,
respectively. The City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2024, were $4,151,701
and were greater than the required contributions by $46,094.
D. Net Pension Liability
The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) 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.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall payroll growth 2.75% 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 the Public Safety table used for males and the General Employee table
used for females. Mortality rates for healthy retirees and beneficiaries are based on 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 for actives, healthy retirees and beneficiaries are projected on a fully
generational basis by Scale LIMP 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 and 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 Scale LIMP to account for future mortality improvements
subject to the floor.
75
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 using a
building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset
class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation. In determining their best estimate of a recommended investment return assumption under
the various alternative asset allocation portfolios, GRS focused on the area between (1) arithmetic
mean (aggressive) without an adjustment for time (conservative) and (2) the geometric mean
(conservative) with an adjustment for time (aggressive). The target allocation and best estimates of real
rates of return for each major asset class in fiscal year 2024 are summarized in the following table:

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.

City of Southlake Retiree Health Care Plan
Plan Description
The City provides other postemployment healthcare benefits in accordance with City policy.
Administration of the City of Southlake Retiree Healthcare Plan trust is through Public Agency Retirement
Services (PARS) with an IRC Section 115 Irrevocable Exclusive Benefit Trust. Trustee for the plan is US Bank.
Ultimate authority for investment decisions and actions necessary to maintain the City's participation in
the program resides with the City Manager, appointed as Plan Administrator through a 2009 resolution of
the City Council. Investment strategy is currently through the City's selection of PARS Moderately
Conservative High Mark Plus.
A third -party administrator is utilized to provide claims administration and payment of claims. Insurance is
purchased to provide specific stop loss and aggregate stop loss protection. A separate financial
statement is not issued for the plan.
Benefits Provided
Regular full-time employees retiring from the City of Southlake have the option to continue medical
insurance coverage until the retiree becomes eligible for Medicare or is eligible to be covered under
another medical plan. The City contributes $125 per month towards the premium for retiree insurance
coverage or $225 towards the premium for retirees and dependents. Recommendations for plan benefits
are presented to City Council for their approval during the annual budget process.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms

Contributions
The City's contributions during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024 were $209,480 and were greater
than the required contributions by $167,637. The benefit payments were determined in a manner similar
to how the benefit payments for the measurement period were developed. The City, through its
budgeting process, determines the annual contributions to the Plan based on the actuarially determined
contribution and the availability of funds.
Net OPEB Asset
The City's total OPEB asset is based on an actuarial valuation performed as of December 31, 2023.
79
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Actuarial Assumptions
The total OPEB asset in the December 31, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Actuarial Cost Method
Individual Entry -Age Normal
Single Discount Rate
5.007. as of December 31, 2023
Inflation rate
2.507. per year
Salary Increases
3.607. to 11.85% including inflation
Demographic Assumptions
Based on the experience study covering the four-year
period ending December 31, 2023 as conducted for the
Texas Municipal Retirement System JMRS).
Mortality
For healthy retirees, the gender -distinct Municipal
Retirees of Texas mortality tables were used, with male
rates multiplied by 103% and female rates multiplied by
105%. The rates are projected on a fully generational
basis using the ultimate mortality improvement rates in
the MP-2021 table to account for future mortality
Healthcare Cost trend rates
Initial rate of 7.00% declining to ultimate rates of 4.25%
after 15 years.
Participation Rates
30% of employees who retire at age 55 or older, or retire
through disability retirement at any age, were assumed
to maintain their health coverage after retirement.
Single Discount Rate. Projected benefit payments are required to be discounted to their actuarial present
values using a Single Discount Rate that reflects (1) a long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan
investments (to the extent that the plan's fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay
benefits), and (2) tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds
with an average AA credit rating as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use
with the long-term expected rate of return are not met).
For the purpose of this valuation, the expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments is 5.0%; the
municipal bond rate is 1.84% (based on the daily rate closest to but not later than the measurement date
of the Fidelity "20-Year Municipal GO AA Index"); and the resulting Single Discount Rate is 5.0%.
The City's has consistently funded the actuarially determined employer contribution, which is based on a
closed amortization policy. As a result, the plan's fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay
benefits for all future years.

"amounts for OPEB as the benefits come due that will not be reimbursed to the employer using OPEB plan
assets." The $69,818 in benefit payments was paid by the City using its own assets.
The plan fiduciary net position is 139% of the total OPEB liability as of the measurement date, resulting in
the net OPEB asset.
The benefit payments during the measurement period were determined as follows:
City's explicit subsidy $ 10,325
City's implicit subsidy (explicit subsidy * 5.762) 59,493
Total benefit payments
$ 69,818
The 5.762 implicit factor equals the ratio of the expected implicit subsidy to the expected explicit subsidy.

Differences between expected and actual experience and changes in assumptions are recognized in
OPEB expense using a systematic and rational method over a closed period equal to the average of the
expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the OPEB plan
(active employees and inactive employees) determined as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The expected remaining service lives of all active employees in the plan were approximately 3,227 years.
Additionally, the total plan membership (active employees and inactive employees) was 345. As a result,
the average of the expected remaining service lives for purposes of recognizing the applicable deferred
outflows and inflows of resources established in the current measurement period is 9.3548 years.

City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
Additionally, differences between projected and actual earnings on OPEB plan investments should be
recognized in OPEB expense using a systematic and rational method over a closed five-year period.
For this purpose, the deferred outflows and inflows of resources are recognized in the OPEB expense as a
level dollar amount over the closed period identified above.
Other Post Employment Benefits Supplemental Death Benefit Fund
Plan Description
Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS") administers a defined benefit group -term life insurance plan
known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund ("SDBF"). This is a voluntary program in which
participating member cities may elect, by ordinance, to provide group -term life insurance coverage for
their active members, including or not including retirees. Employers may terminate coverage under and
discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be
effective the following January 1. The City 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) for City reporting.
Benefits Provided
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period
preceding the month of death). The death benefit for retirees is considered an other postemployment
benefit ("OPEB") and is a fixed amount of $7,500.
At the December 31, 2023 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 135
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 77
Active Employees 384
596
Contributions
The member city contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual
actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. 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. The intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during
employees' entire careers.
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the
participating member city. The contractually required contribution rate is determined annually for each
city. 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 city. There is a one-year delay between the actuarial
valuation that serves as the basis for the employer contribution rate and the calendar year when the rate
goes into effect. The funding policy of this plan is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet
all death benefit payments for the upcoming year.
m
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
The retiree portion of contribution rates to the SDBF for the City was 0.06% and 0.06% in calendar years
2023 and 2024, respectively. The City's contributions to the SDBF for the year ended September 30, 2024
were $19,864, and were equal to the required contributions.
Total OPEB Liability
The City's Total OPEB Liability (TOL) was measured as of December 31, 2023 and 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
Salary Increases
Discount rate
Retiree's share of benefit -related costs
Administrative expenses
2.50%
3.60% to 11.85% including inflation
3.77%
$0
All administrative expenses are paid
through the 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 service retirees were based on
the 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis
with scale UMP. Mortality rates for disabled retirees were based on 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas
Mortality Tables 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 with scale UMP to account for future mortality improvements subject to the floor.
Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2023 valuation 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. They were first adopted in 2023 and first used in the December 31, 2023 actuarial
valuation.
The discount rate used to measure the Total OPEB Liability was 3.77% and was based on the Fidelity Index's
"20-Year Municipal GO AA Index" rate as of December 31, 2023.

Note 9. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of
their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with such
amounts, and all income attributable to such amounts, property, or rights are held in trust or under one or
more annuity contracts described in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(f). Except as may otherwise be
permitted or required by law, no assets or income of the plan shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes
other than for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits for participants and their beneficiaries or
defraying reasonable expenses of administration of the plan. In accordance with GASB 97, the plans as
amended are not included in the City's financial statements.
Note 10. Risk Financing and Insurance
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During the fiscal year 1990, the Cityjoined
the Texas Municipal League Workers Compensation Joint Insurance Fund ("the Pool") for risks related to
employees. Premiums are paid to the Pool, which retains a limit of loss. Reinsurance companies insure the
risks beyond those limits. The City retains, as a risk, only the deductible amount of each policy. The City
continues to carry commercial insurance with Texas Municipal League provided by Mutual of Omaha for
other risks including general liability, property, and errors and omissions. There were no significant
reductions in coverage in the past year and there were no settlements exceeding insurance coverage
in any of the past three years.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
The City has entered into various contracts with the Trinity River Authority (TRA) and other cities. Terms of
the agreements provide the City will pay an amount equal to its proportional share of maintenance and
operations and debt service based upon volumes of wastewater transported, treated, or disposed of.
The City's proportional share of future costs under these contracts is indeterminable and has not been
recorded. Payments to the TRA under these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2024 were
$5,780,289.
City of Southlake, Texas
Notes to the Financial Statements
The City has authorized various contracts obligating future funds of the City as the contracted services
are performed. Significant amounts unexpended under such contracts at year-end are reflected as
reserves for authorized contracts in the applicable funds.
The City has certain claims and litigation pending with respect to matters arising in the normal course of
operations. City management is of the opinion that the settlement of these matters will not have a
material adverse impact on the City's financial statements.
Note 12. Tax Abatement
The City enters into economic development agreements authorized under Chapter 380 of the
Texas Local Government Code. These agreements are planning tools designed to stimulate economic
activity, redevelopment, community improvement, and provide a return on investment for the
community. These programs abate or rebate property and/or sales taxes and may include other
incentive payments such as fee reductions or construction cost reimbursements. Economic
development agreements are considered on a case -by -case basis by the City Council and generally
contain recapture provisions, which may require repayment or termination if recipients do not meet the
required provisions of the economic incentives.
Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the City to provide grants for the purpose of
promoting local economic development. These grants are based on a percentage of property and/or
sales tax received by the City. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, the City rebated $242,493
in sales taxes, $122,770 in property taxes, and $636,417 in hotel occupancy taxes. The City also refunded
$92,782 in developer construction cost reimbursements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.
Note 13. Change Within the Reporting Entity
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, the City's Southlake Parks Development Corporation
Capital Project (SPDCCP) Fund became a major fund after previously being reported as nonmajor. This
represents a change within the reporting entity, affecting the beginning fund balance of the SPDCCP

Court Technology, Library, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, and Southlake Parks Development
Corporation Special Revenue Funds and all Debt Service Funds on a basis consistent with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Formal budgetary
integration is not employed for proprietary funds. However, the City does adopt an annual budget
for those funds for managerial control.
5. During the fiscal year, the City Council may transfer funds allocated to a department to another
department or re -estimate revenues or expenditures. The City Manager may transfer budgeted
funds within a department. Expenditures should not exceed appropriations at the department
level.
6. Budgetary data for the Police, Municipal Jury, Oil and Gas, Truancy Prevention, Disaster Recovery,
and all Capital Projects Funds are not presented, as such funds are budgeted over the life of the
respective project, and not on an annual basis. Budgetary information for the Proprietary Funds
has not been presented since reporting on such budgets is not legally required.
7. General Fund reported expenditures in excess of appropriations for the year ended
September 30, 2024 as follows:
• Support services ($327,823) - A building remodel project was budgeted as capital outlay.
However, expenditures did not meet the capitalization criteria, so they were reported as
operating expenditures.
• Capital outlay ($177,975) - Due to GASB 87 and 96, not a true cash flow expenditure over
budget.
• Debt service: Principal ($1,003,961) - Due to GASB 87 and GASB 96, not a true cash flow
expenditure over budget.
• Debt service: Interest ($53,272) - Due to GASB 87 and GASB 96, not a true cash flow expenditure
over budget.

The City hired a consultant to implement a pavement management system (PMS) to cover all public
streets within the City. The condition of street pavement is measured using the Standard for Roads
Pavement Condition Index (SRPCI) as developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM). The SRPCI is based on a weighted average of thirteen defects found in pavement surfaces. The
consultant conducted a pavement condition survey on all City -owned streets. This consisted of a
roughness survey and a surface distress survey, along with a deflection survey of selected roads. A present
status analysis was conducted using data obtained from pavement condition survey to determine the
International Roughness Index (IRI) and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). These indices were then
combined into the composite Pavement Quality Index (PQI). Values of PQI can range from 0 to 100.
Typical values for a newly constructed pavement range from 95.0 to 100.0. The PQI level at which a
pavement becomes in need of rehabilitation is typically in the 50.0 to 70.0 range. It was the City's policy
to maintain a PQI of 73.0 until 2012 when the City increased the minimum PQI to 78.0. Needed
maintenance is calculated based upon inspections and the PQI.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City is required to report at least three complete
condition assessments at transition using the modified approach. The condition assessments were
completed by the City and concluded that the eligible infrastructure assets are being preserved at or
above the condition level established by the City. Half of the City's public streets will be assessed annually
to ensure all public streets are assessed every two years.
The City calculates needed maintenance of its street system annually. However, the scheduling of these
road projects often crosses fiscal years. Therefore, actual maintenance may be less than the calculated
needed maintenance in one fiscal year and greater than the calculated needed maintenance in the
subsequent fiscal year.

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the
City of Southlake, Texas
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the City of Southlake, Texas (the City) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated February 21, 2025.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
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. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a 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.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. 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 or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not
an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance for Each Major State
Program, Report on Internal Control over Compliance, and Report on Schedule of
Expenditures of State Awards Required by the Texas Grant Management Standards
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the
City of Southlake, Texas
Report on Compliance for Each Major State Program
Opinion on Each Major State Program
We have audited the City of Southlake, Texas (the City)'s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the Texas Grant Management Standards that could have a
direct and material effect on each of the City's major state programs for the year ended September 30,
2024. The City's major state programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major state programs for the year
ended September 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major State Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government
Auditing Standards); and the Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS) issued by the Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. Our responsibilities under those standards
and TxGMS are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of
our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with 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 opinion on compliance for each
major state program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements
of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's
state programs.
Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P.
3 CPAs AND ADVISORS I WEAVER.COM
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the
City of Southlake, Texas
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. 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, Government Auditing Standards, and TxGMS will always detect material noncompliance
when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is
considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would
influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's
compliance with the requirements of each major state program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and TxGMS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, 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 City's compliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report
on internal control over compliance in accordance with the TxGMS, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a state program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance
is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state
program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in
internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state program that is less severe than a material
weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the
City of Southlake, Texas
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses,
as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over
compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing
of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the
TxGMS. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards Required by the Texas Grant Management Standards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City's basic statements. We issued our report thereon dated February 21, 2025, which contained an
unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming
opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The
accompanying schedule of expenditures of state awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis
as required by the Texas Grant Management Standards and is 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
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of
expenditures of state awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting- Payroll
Condition and Context
It was identified that the City's Human Resource Department manually adjusted overtime based on
calculations performed by Human Resources' personnel.
Corrective Action
The City's Finance and Human Resources Departments will work with Tyler Technologies to implement
overtime calculations within Munis, the Financial ERP system used by the City, which will eliminate manual
overtime calculations in the payroll cycle. Additionally, Human Resources will institute secondary review
and approval procedures for all changes occurring during payroll processing.
Status
Implemented.
