To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and
Citizens of the City of Red Oak, Texas
Submitted herewith is the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (the “ACFR”) of the City of Red Oak (the
“City”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our
knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects. The data is reported in a manner
designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds of the City. To enable
the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities, all necessary disclosures have been included.
The ACFR is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States
of America established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The ACFR is presented in
three sections: introductory, financial and statistical. The introductory section includes this transmittal letter, the
City’s organizational chart, and a list of principal officials. The financial section includes the management’s
discussion and analysis (MD&A), the government-wide and fund financial statements, notes to basic financial
statements, required supplemental information, other supplemental information, as well as the independent
auditor’s report on the basic financial statements. The Statistical section includes selected financial and
demographic information which is presented on a multi-year basis.
The MD&A is a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements. The
MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report. This transmittal is designed to
complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
THE REPORTING ENTITY
The City was incorporated in 1849 under the general laws of the State of Texas. The City operates under a councilmanager
form of government. The City provides a full range of municipal services authorized by statute or charter.
These services include police and fire protection, water and wastewater services, the construction and maintenance
of streets, infrastructure and other related facilities, code enforcement, building inspections, parks and recreation,
library, public improvements, planning and zoning, economic development, and general administrative services.
The ACFR includes all funds of the City. This report includes all government activities, organizations and functions
for which the City is financially accountable. The criteria used in determining activities to be reported within the
City’s basic financial statements are based upon and consistent with those set forth by the GASB.
i
THE CITY
The City of Red Oak (the “City” or “Red Oak”) is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State,
duly organized and existing under the laws of the State, including the City’s Home Rule Charter. The City first
adopted its Home Rule Charter in 1997. The City operates under a Council/Manager form of government with a
City Council comprised of the Mayor and five Councilmembers. The Mayor and City Councilmembers are elected
for staggered three-year terms. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer for the City. The 2000 Census
population for the City was 5,235, the 2010 Census population for Red Oak was 10,769, the 2020 Census
population for the City was 14,222, and North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) projects by the
year 2030, Red Oak’s population will grow to 63,329. The City covers approximately 15.22 square miles.
The City is located in northern Ellis County, 20 miles south of downtown Dallas and is served by a major interstate
highway I-35E bisecting the City, and I-20 located nine miles north. Red Oak is also bisected by state highways
664 and 342 giving easy access in all directions. Red Oak is uniquely situated to provide easy accessibility to the
entire North Texas area. The close proximity to job opportunities in Dallas, Fort Worth and the Mid-Cities
continues to contribute to growth in the City. The City is a member of the Best-Southwest Communities, which
also consists of Cedar Hill, Desoto, Duncanville and Lancaster.
As a result of the exponential growth and development taking place in Red Oak and vicinity, the Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDoT) is in the process of improving the public transportation network. Construction work
has commenced on the improvements and widening to FM 664/Ovilla Road. These improvements and widening
include the expansion of FM 664/Ovilla Road to six lanes extending from I-45 to at the City of Ferris to US 287
at its intersection with FM 64/Ovilla Road at the City of Waxahachie. In addition, an overpass will be constructed
along I-45 to the south of Ferris which will facilitate the flow of traffic along FM 664/Ovilla Road. Also, the FM
664/Ovilla Road overpass located at I-35E will be reconstructed to improve traffic flows and increase the capacity
of the overpass. This expansion and construction is necessary as current data shows that the intersection of FM 664
and I-35E in Red Oak is currently one of the busiest intersections in Ellis County.
Due to the growth and development of the Red Oak vicinity and the related traffic congestion, the long anticipated
South Loop 9 project will become a reality! To this end, TxDoT is in the process of acquiring the right-of-way
(ROW) for constructing Phase 1 of the roadway which will directly connect I-45 with I-35E. The route for the
South Loop 9 project will closely follow along the northern boundary line for Ellis County and the southern
boundary line for Dallas County.
Red Oak is a growing, thriving community with good challenges. The population is increasing and exceptional
quality homes and developments are being built in Red Oak to accommodate this growth. In addition, due to the
growth in the City and the surrounding area, retail development has been rising, and is expected to continue to do
so. The median household income for 2021 is $79,448, which is continuing to rise. Per HomeFacts.com, Red Oak
enjoys a low unemployment rate of 6.3% as compared to 8.8% in 2009.
As the community grows, the need for City services continues to increase. Staffing levels have across the City
departments. This growth in staffing has caused the need for expansion of City facilities. The City issued debt in
Fiscal Year 2019. The City used part of the debt proceeds to purchase a future site for the Municipal Center to
meet this need to accommodate growth. The renovation of the facility is planned for Fiscal Year 2022. Growth
within the city has caused property tax revenues to increase.
In Fiscal Year 2021, General Fund property tax revenues increased by over $720,000 from the previous year. At
the same time, sales taxes revenues increased in the General Fund by $366,855 because of growth in population
and retail services available within the community.
ii
Growth in the city has also created the need for additional public infrastructure. More on this topic will be included
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which starts on page 3.

FINANCIAL PLANNING AND FISCAL POLICIES
The City continues to update the master plans to guide the City’s long-term growth and financial planning. Significant
master planning activity includes: 1) Comprehensive land use and thoroughfare plan, 2) Parks master plan, and a 3)
Strategic Plan.
Utilizing these plans, the City annually updates a rolling five-year capital improvement schedule. The City also maintains
a police and fire department staffing plan as part of the strategic plan. These plans are used to determine budget allocations
to the various departments and activities of the City.
The City’s fiscal management policy requires a minimum fund balance for numerous funds. The fund balance reserve
plan is guiding the City to meeting the fund balance reserve plans for each of the funds.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
City management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the
assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. Management must also ensure that adequate accounting data
is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The internal control structure
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of the control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the
valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur
within the above framework.
The City’s accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis, with
revenues recognized when measurable and available, and expenditures recorded when the liability is incurred. Proprietary
operations are maintained on full accrual basis.
The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions contained in the annual budget
approved by the City Council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds and debt service funds are included
in the annual budget. The budget is developed and controlled at the department level although appropriations are set at
the fund level, and encumbrances are entered at the time a purchase order is issued. Outstanding encumbrance’s lapse at
fiscal year-end, and the subsequent year’s budget must absorb the expenditures when incurred. Separate multi-year
budgets are developed for the capital projects funds.
v
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit:
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the accounting financial records and transactions of all departments of the
City. The City charter specifies that such audit be conducted by independent auditors selected by the City Council.
Pattillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P. was selected by the City Council to conduct this year’s audit. The independent auditor’s
report on the basic financial statements is included in the financial section of this report.
Certificate of Achievement:
This is the ninth year the City has submitted the annual comprehensive financial report (“ACFR”) to the Government
Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) to be reviewed for the Certificate of Achievement.
The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award that recognizes conformance with the highest standards
for preparation of state and local government financial reports.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Red Oak, Texas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Red Oak, Texas, as
of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Red Oak, Texas’ basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
City of Red Oak, Texas’ management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes 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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In
making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above 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 of Red Oak, Texas, as of September 30, 2021, 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.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Red Oak, Texas’ basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section, 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 were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such 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 combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 2,
2022, on our consideration of the City of Red Oak, Texas’ 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 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 of Red Oak, Texas’
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

and available for use at the City's discretion.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $3,962,045
or 27.0% of the total General Fund expenditures.
• The City's outstanding debt increased by $10,490,933 or 21.7% during the current fiscal year due to
the issuance of bonds for various capital improvements, primarily including construction and
resurfacing of roads, park improvements, and purchase and improvements for municipal buildings.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The City's 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
contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed
to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets, deferred outflows,
liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference between these reported as Net Position. Over time,
increases or decreases in Net Position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's Net Position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in Net Position are reported when the underlying event giving rise to
the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported
in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences).
3
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type
activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, cultural and
recreational, public works, industrial development and economic development. The business-type activities of
the City include utility operations. The Red Oak Economic Development Corporation and Red Oak Industrial
Development Corporation, although legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department
of the City, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 11-13 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories- governmental funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike
the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on current
sources and uses of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the
end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains nine 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, Industrial Development Corporation, and Economic
Development Corporation funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other five
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund, Industrial Development Corporation
and the Economic Development Corporation. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for
the General Fund Industrial Development Corporation and the Economic Development Corporation, to
demonstrate compliance with these budgets.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 14-19 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses two enterprise funds to account
for its utility operations, one for water and sewer utilities and the other is for storm water utilities.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 20-23 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 24-44 of this report.
4
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds.
Combining and individual statements and schedules can be found on pages 53-54 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, Net Position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by
$41,380,122 as of September 30, 2021.

A portion of the City's Net Position, $8,386,512 or 20.3%, reflects its investments in capital assets (e.g.,
land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment and infrastructure),
less any debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to
provide service to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that 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.
An additional portion of the City's Net Position ($20,123,882 or 48.6%) represents resources that are
subject to external restriction on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted Net
Position ($12,869,728 or 31.1%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens
and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report a positive Net Position, both for the
government as a whole, as well as for its separate categories - governmental activities and business-type
activities.
Analysis of the City's Operations: The following table provides a summary of the City's operations for
the year ended September 30, 2021. On a government-wide basis, governmental activities increased the
City's Net Position by $569,385 and business-type activities increased the City's Net Position by
$4,036,915.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS
Governmental Funds: The focus of the City'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, unreserved 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 ending fund
balances of $43,396,048. Approximately 9.1% of this total amount, $3,962,045 is unassigned fund balance.
The remainder of the fund balance is not available for new spending because it has already been restricted or
assigned for other purposes.
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 $3,962,045, while total fund balance reached $5,496,240. As a
measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and
total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 27.0% of total
General Fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 37.5% of that same amount.
The fund balance of the City's General Fund has a net increase of $541,211 during the current fiscal year
adjustment. The increase is attributable to increases in property taxes, sales taxes, and licenses in
permits. Property taxes and sales tax increased $1.3 million despite economic shutdowns caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Expenditures in the general fund increased $1.76 million, offsetting some of the
increases in revenues. Increases in expenditures were mainly caused by an increase to Culture and
recreation expenses of $150,000 due to the addition of the Parks Department including personnel, benefits,
general supplies and maintenance costs, an increase to Public Works and Engineering expenses in
contractual services, and increases to capital expenses of $1.1 million.
6
The Industrial Development Corporation fund has a total fund balance of $7,157,198. The net decrease
in fund balance during the current year in the Industrial Development Corporation fund was $5,266,894 and
mostly attributable to sales taxes and contributions being exceeded by current year expenditures and
transfers out.
The Economic Development Corporation fund has a total fund balance of $14,441,660. The net increase in
fund balance during the current year in the Economic Development Corporation fund was $1,112,180. The
increase is largely attributable to the sale of land, reduced by current year expenditures and transfers out.
The Debt Service fund ended the year with total fund balance of $107,620, an increase of $1,565. The
increase was caused by property tax revenues slightly exceeding debt service requirements for the year.
The 2021 CO Bond Fund has a total ending fund balance of $3,808,755, an of $3,808,755. The increase is a
result of bonds issued in the amount of $3685,000 during the current year.
Proprietary Funds: The City's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found
in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The two enterprise funds were
previously combined on the financial statements but were separated this year to more closely align with
internal reporting.
Unrestricted Net Position of the Utility Fund at the end of the year amounted to $3,085,454. Net Position
increased by a net amount of $2,898,244. The increase is caused by capital contributions of $1.7 million, and
an operating income of $1.1 million.
Unrestricted Net Position of the Storm Water Fund at the end of the year amounted to $517,449. Net
Position increased by $1,138,671. The increase is primarily caused by operating income of $142 thousand
and capital contributions in the amount of $1 million.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights - Actual revenues collected exceeded management's original
estimate of the General Fund's revenues by $1,294,174, mostly caused by larger than expected tax
revenues and licenses and permits. Revenue budget amendments during the year included an increase
to fire inspection fee revenue, fire department donations and miscellaneous revenues. Expenditures were
less than appropriations by $2,205,520 due to reduced personnel and benefits costs due to staff
turnovers during the year, reduced paper and supplies cost due to implementation of electronic
processes, reduced training costs related to COVID-19 restrictions, delays to capital spending as well as
an overall effort by all departments to reduce spending due to the unknowns related to COVID-19. These
were offset some by an increase to public safety expenses in response to COVID-19. Significant budget
amendments included increases to public safety vehicle maintenance, supplies, personal protective
equipment, medical supplies and technology costs.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of September
30, 2021 amounts to $31,102,888 and $19,704,541, respectively (net of accumulated depreciation). This
investment in capital assets includes land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements,
machinery and equipment, and infrastructure.
Significant additions to capital assets included:
• Increases in construction in progress of $4.7 million
• Machinery and equipment of $1 million
• Infrastructure and improvements of $6.4 million

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
In the fiscal year 2022 Budget, General Fund operating revenues are budgeted to increase by 5% from
the fiscal year 2021 revenue collections with ad valorem taxes making up 50% of General Fund budgeted
revenues. Certified assessed valuations, including estimated values on properties under protest,
increased 11.5% for the fiscal year 2022 budget from fiscal year 2021's values. The Fiscal Year 2022
budget was based on a property tax rate of 0.703645 per $100 of assessed value with 0.549874 for
operations and 0.153771 for interest and principal on outstanding debt. Sales taxes are the second
highest revenue source making up 23% of budgeted revenues and are budgeted to increase by 9.7%
from fiscal year 2021 collections.
There was no rate increase budgeted for Water and Sewer in the fiscal year 2022 budget. An increase of
9.5% in Water and Sewer revenues from the fiscal year 2021 amended budget is budgeted in fiscal year
2022 due to an increased customer base for water and sewer collections in fiscal year 2022.
The state and local economy in this area continues to boom. Red Oak is poised to attract new retail and
industrial development. The City's proximity to the DFW Metroplex and presence on 1-35E, along with
the availability of quality retail and industrial property locations, ensure that the economic outlook for
Red Oak will remain good for many years to come. Red Oak still has ample space available for future
expansions in all sectors of the economy.
In the fiscal year 2022 budget, all funds were presented with balanced budgets. Revenue estimates and
expenses were conservative and consistent with established policies. The budget for the upcoming year
sets a foundation for prudent fiscal management of City operations for the coming years and ensures
that the City will have the tools to achieve the City Council's goals.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
The City of Red Oak is creating a solid foundation for the future. The foundation is one that is driven by
community needs and Council's vision of the future. The first step is to identify the goals that can guide
policy makers and decision makers over the long-term. The City Council has identified critical goals to
establish that foundation through decisions and the Strategic Planning process. The Strategic Planning
Goals are outlined below.
• Enhance and Maintain Public Safety
• Enhance the Quality of life through Parks and other projects
• Improve the City's Infrastructure
• Enhance Economic Development
• Develop, Retain and Attract Quality Staff
• Improve long-term Financial Sustainability
These goals were the foundation for the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. These goals serve as a guide to future
budgets and a new era of economic stability. How we spend our money today will impact future citizens
of Red Oak.
The City is working to update the master plans to guide the City's long-term growth and financial
planning. Significant master planning activity includes: 1) Comprehensive land use and thoroughfare
plan, 2) Parks master plan, and 3) Strategic Plan. Utilizing these plans, the City annually updates a
rolling five-year capital improvement schedule. The City also maintains a police and fire department
staffing plan as part of the strategic plan. These plans were used to determine budget allocations to the
various departments and activities of the City.
Distinguished Budget Award
The City submitted its Annual Budget to the Government Finance Officer Association for the last five
consecutive years and has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for each year. The
award is valid for one year only. The City has submitted the Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2021 and plans to continue to submit for the award in future years. This represents the
continued effort by the City Council and staff to prepare a budget document that reflects the
transparency and professionalism of the City to its Citizens, bondholders, and rating agencies.
Bond Ratings
The City's bond ratings provide evidence of its financial strength. Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of
"AA", with a stable outlook, and Standard and Poors (S&P) has raised its long-term rating on the City
from AA- and assigned a rating of "AA", with a stable outlook during fiscal year 2021. These investment
ratings indicate excellent investment quality. More information about the City's bond ratings is included
in the notes to the basic financial statements.
RESERVES
Operating Reserves Another measure of the City's financial strength is the level of its fund balance, or
operating reserves. Operating reserves are maintained by organizations to ensure services can be
delivered during economic downturns, to address unforeseen expenditures in the case of an emergency
or other event, and to take advantage of opportunities that may materialize outside of the budget
processes. It is important to maintain operating cash reserves so that service delivery will not be
negatively impacted if the economy takes a downturn, as 64% of the City's revenue is generated by
sales taxes and property taxes. Policy guidelines adopted by the Council require reserve fund balances to
be maintained at 30 days operating expenditures. This requirement was met, and exceeded, during
Fiscal Year 2021.
Development Corporation Reserves Operating reserves are maintained by the development corporations
at 25% of sales tax revenue for the year. As sales tax is the only revenue source for the development
corporations, 25% of revenue is held in reserve as contingency amount should economic downturn occur.
9
This requirement was met, and exceeded, during Fiscal Year 2021.
Capital Projects
Capital project funds were added to the budget to facilitate the following Strategic Planning Goals;
Improve and Expand City Offices and other Facilities; Enhance the Quality of life through Parks and other
projects; and to Improve the City's Infrastructure. The FY 2022 budget includes capital budgeted in
governmental capital projects funds in the amount of $14,413,850. These include the purchase of
vehicles, public safety, information technology, public works and parks equipment, facility improvements
for fire stations, animal shelter and the future municipal center, parks improvements and street
improvements. The Water and Sewer Fund, Storm Water Drainage Fund, and Water and Sewer Capital
Project Fund budgets include capital costs for the FY 2022 current year totaling $3,714,624. The capital
projects budgeted in these funds include manhole rehabilitation, lift station improvements, SCADA
upgrade, drainage improvements and various other projects.
City Employees
Staffing levels for FY 2022 will increase by 10 positions from the previous fiscal year. With these added
positions, funding levels will reach 128 full-time and 3 part-time positions.
Salary Adjustments
We believe it is important to be able to recruit and retain valuable staff by ensuring competitive
compensation rates. All employees will receive a market increase of 3% on October 1. Uniformed
employees will receive step increases and other staff receive an annual 3% increase on April 1st,
contingent upon performance review.
Benefits

plan along with a corresponding health savings account which the City contributes to on behalf of
employees, a buy-up plan and base PPO.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
Total Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ 43,396,048
Amount reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are
different because:

not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Capital assets 49,333,959

current period, and, therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds.

Compensated absences ( 737,255)
Net pension liability ( 779,161)
Total OPEB liability ( 239,633)
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and
therefore, are deferred in the governmental funds. 226,723

similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and
amortized in the statement of activities.
Premium on bonds ( 1,819,613)
Differences between expected and actual experiences, assumption changes and
netdifferences between projected and actual earnings and contributions subsequent
to the measurement date for the postretirement benefits (pension and OPEB) are

RECONCILIATION OF STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES
IN FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
Total net change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ 3,902,052
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Current year capital outlays are expenditures in the fund financial statements, but
they should be shown as increases in capital assets in the government-wide
financial statements. The net effect of removing the current year capital outlays is
to increase net position. 5,888,165
Depreciation is not recognized as an expense in governmental funds since it does
not require the use of current financial resources. The net effect of the current
year's depreciation is to decrease net position. ( 1,605,003)
The net effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales,
trade-ins, and donations) is to increase net position.
Donation of capital assets 2,452,029
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, loans, leases) 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 the net position.
Issuance of revenue bonds ( 5,657,000)
Issuance of tax notes ( 1,930,000)
Premium on issuance ( 863,937)
Issuance of certificates of obligation ( 3,685,000)
Principal paid on bonds 2,038,000
Revenues and expenditures in the statement of activities that do not provide or use
current financial resources are not reported as revenues and expenses in the
governmental funds.
Fines and fees 48,783
Property taxes ( 104,177)
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds.
Accrued interest on long-term debt ( 60,477)
Amortization of deferred loss on refunding 70,861
Compensated absences 17,719
Changes in pension liabilities and related deferred outflows/inflows 91,285
Changes in OPEB liabilities and related deferred outflows/inflows ( 33,915)

CITY OF RED OAK, TEXAS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Red Oak, Texas (the "City") was incorporated in 1949, and operates under a Council-
Manager form of government. The accompanying financial statements present the government and
its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable.
Blended Component Units
The City of Red Oak Economic Development Corporation, Inc. (Economic Development Corporation)
is responsible for collecting and disbursing the one-half percent sales tax to be used for economic
development within and for the benefit of the City. The City Council is the governing board for the
Corporation. The members of the Corporation's boardPageP are appointed by the City. The City
holds operational responsibility for the Corporation. The Corporation is presented as a governmental
fund type and has a September 30 year-end.
The City of Red Oak Industrial Development Corporation, Inc. (Industrial Development Corporation)
is responsible for collecting and disbursing the one-half percent sales tax to be used for economic
development within and for the benefit of the City. The City Council is the governing board for the
Corporation. The members of the Corporation's board are appointed by the City. The City holds
operational responsibility for the Corporation. The Corporation is presented as a governmental fund
type and has a September 30 year-end.
Separate financial statements for the component units are not issued.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of Net Position and the statement of
changes in Net Position) report information on all of the primary government and its blended
component units. 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 function
or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable
with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants
who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given
function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational
or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly
included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statement.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they
are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements
imposed by the provider have been met.
24
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon
as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within
sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability
is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, inventories of materials and supplies are
considered expenditures when used and debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related
to accumulated unpaid sick pay, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property and taxpayer-assessed taxes estimated to be collectible within sixty days after balance
sheet date, interest, and expenditure driven grants are all considered to be susceptible to accrual
and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of
the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Industrial Development Corporation Fund is responsible for collecting and disbursing
the one-half cent sales tax to be used for industrial development within the City.
The Economic Development Corporation Fund is responsible for collecting and disbursing
the one-half cent sales tax to be used for economic development within the City.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the property tax revenues received which were specifically
levied for the purpose of covering debt service requirements.
The 2021 Certificates of Obligation Bond Fund is used to account for the proceeds from the
bonds issued for major capital projects.
The Parks Improvements Fund is used to account for restricted revenue sources used to
improve parks facilities in the City.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Utility Fund accounts for the activities of the sewage treatment plant, sewage pumping
stations and collection systems, and the water distribution system.
The Storm Water Drainage Fund accounts for the City's storm water revenues and related
projects.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's utility function
and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs
and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as
program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
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. The principal operating
revenues of the utility fund are charges to customers for sales and services and the portion of tap
fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses
for the utility fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation
on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's policy
to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources, as they are needed.
25
D. Cash, Deposits and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and shortterm
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
The Economic Development Corporation and Industrial Development Corporation are authorized by
their governing boards to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and local government investment
pools (TexPool and LOGIC).
Investments in government pools are recorded at amortized cost. All other investments are recorded
at fair value. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties.
E. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion
of inter-fund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of inter-fund
loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported 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."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance
reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for
appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Trade
accounts receivables in excess of sixty days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for
uncollectibles. The property tax receivable allowance is based on historical collection experience.
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 personal property. Appraised values are established by the Ellis Central Appraisal
District as market value and assessed at 100% of appraised value. Property taxes attach as an
enforceable lien on property as of January 1. The Ellis County Tax Assessor/Collector bills and
collects the City's property taxes, which are due October 1. Full payment can be made prior to the
next January 31 to avoid penalty and interest charges. Overtime, substantially all property taxes
are collected.
F. Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories are recorded
as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items. The cost of
prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
G. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City's enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside
for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the statement of Net Position because they
are maintained in separate bank accounts and their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
The "revenue bond construction" account is used to report those proceeds of bond issuances that
are restricted for use in construction. The "interest and sinking" account is used to segregate
resources accumulated for debt service payments over the next twelve months.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems), are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost
of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded
at historical cost or estimated historical cost If purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at estimated acquisition value.
26
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed, net of interest earned on the
invested proceeds over the same period.
Property, plant, equipment and infrastructure are depreciated using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Type
Number of Years
Buildings 10-30
Improvements 10-50
Machinery and equipment 5-15
Infrastructure 10-40
I. Land Held for Sale
The IDC and EDC owns land within the city which is held for the purpose of development. The land
is reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
J. Unearned Revenue
The City has unearned revenue in the amount of $1,668,095. This is the amount of funds received
from the State and Local Coronavirus Relief Fund which have not been spent on eligible projects as
of year end. These funds will be recognized as revenue as the funds are spent.
K. Compensated Absences
It is the government's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation pay
benefits. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund
financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they
have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. Vacation leave
shall be taken during the year following its accumulation.
L. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net 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, represents a consumption of net position 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 charges on refunding – A deferred charge on refunding results 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.
• Pension and OPEB contributions after measurement date – These contributions are deferred
and recognized in the following fiscal year.
• Changes in actuarial assumptions – These changes are deferred and recognized over the
estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the measurement date.
• Difference in projected and actual earnings on pension assets – This difference is deferred
and amortized over a closed five-year period.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City
has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category.
27
• Unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet – These
amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the
amounts become available.
• Difference in expected and actual pension and OPEB experience – This difference is deferred
and recognized over the estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as
of the measurement date.
• Changes in actuarial assumptions – These changes are deferred and recognized over the
estimated average remaining lives of all members determined as of the measurement date.
M. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the 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 type statement of
Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized
over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and
amortized over the term of the related debt.
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 received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
N. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, pension related deferred outflows and inflows
of resources, and pension 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.
O. Other Post-Employment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the total Texas Municipal Retirement System Supplemental Death Benefit
Fund (TMRS SDBF) OPEB liability, related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and expense,
City-specific information about its total TMRS SDBF liability and additions to/deductions from the
City’s total TMRS SDBF liability have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by
TMRS. The TMRS SDBF expense and deferred (inflows)/outflows of resources related to TMRS SDBF,
primarily result from changes in the components of the total TMRS SDBF liability. Most changes in
the total TMRS SDBF liability will be included in TMRS SDBF expense in the period of the change.
For example, changes in the total TMRS SDBF liability resulting from current period service cost,
interest on the TOL, and changes of benefit terms are required to be included in TMRS SDBF expense
immediately. Changes in the total TMRS SDBF liability that have not been included in TMRS SDBF
expense are required to be reported as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of
resources related to TMRS SDBF.
P. Net Position and Fund Balance
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, the City reports restrictions of
net position for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside
parties for use for a specific purpose. Net investment in capital assets represents the City’s
investment in the book value of capital assets, less any unspent proceeds from capital-related debt
issuances. Unrestricted net position consists of net position that does not meet the definition of
restricted or net investment in capital assets.
28
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance categorized as follows:
Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
not in spendable form, or, for legal or contractual reasons, must be kept intact. This classification
includes prepaid items.
Restricted fund balance includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific
purposes which are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or amounts restricted
due to constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. This classification includes the child
nutrition program, retirement of long-term debt, construction programs and other federal and
state grants.
Committed fund balance includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific
purposes that are internally imposed by the City through formal action of the highest level of
decision making authority. Committed fund balance is reported pursuant to resolution passed
by the City Council. This classification includes campus activity funds, local special revenue funds
and potential litigation, claims and judgments.
Assigned fund balance includes fund balance amounts that are self-imposed by the City to be
used for a particular purpose. Fund balance can be assigned by the City Council, the City
Manager, or the Finance Director. This classification includes insurance deductibles,
encumbrances, program start-up costs, projected budget deficit for subsequent years and other
legal uses.
Unassigned fund balance includes residual positive fund balance within the General Fund which
has not been classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassigned fund balance
may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.
Net Position Flow Assumption
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.
Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate
the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the
governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which
the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance
to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further,
when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed
fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied
last.
II.
STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary Control
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for
the General, IDC, EDC, Tourism, and Debt Service funds. The capital projects funds are appropriated
on a project-length basis. Other special revenue funds do not have appropriated budgets since other
means controls the use of resources. The annual budget for the utility fund is prepared on the
budgetary basis of accounting. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The legal level of
budgetary control is the fund level.
29
III.
DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agencies, municipal
bonds, managed public fund investment pools, and certificates of deposit 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 “Act”), provide for the creation of public funds investment
pools, such as Texas Short-term Reserve Fund (“TexStar”), Local Government Investment
Cooperative (“LOGIC”), TexasDAILY, and Lone Star Investment Pool (“Lone Star”), through which
political subdivisions and other entities may invest public funds.
TexPool, TexSTAR and LOGIC have a redemption notice period of one day and may redeem daily.
The investment pool’s authority may only impose restrictions on redemptions in the event of a
general suspension of trading on major securities markets, general banking moratorium or national
state of emergency that affects the pool’s liquidity.
The City's investments as of September 30, 2021 are:

structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing
operations; monitoring credit ratings of portfolio position to assure compliance with rating
requirements imposed by the Public Funds Investment Act; and invest operating funds primarily in
short-term securities or similar government investment pools.
Credit risk: The City's investment policy limits investments to obligations of the United States, State
of Texas, or their agencies and instrumentalities with an investment quality rating of not less than
"A" or its equivalent, by a nationally recognized investment rating firm. Other obligations must be
unconditionally guaranteed (either express or implied) by the full faith and credit of the United
States Government or the issuing U.S. agency and investment pools with an investment quality not
less than AAA or AAA-m, or equivalent, by at least one nationally recognized rating service. As of
September 30, 2021, the City's investment in investment pools were rated AAAm and AAA by
Standard & Poor's.
Custodial credit risk — deposits: In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure, the City's deposits may not be returned to it. State statutes require that all deposits in
financial institutions be insured or fully collateralized by U.S. government obligations or its agencies
and instrumentalities or direct obligations of Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities that have a
market value of not less than the principal amount of the deposits. As of September 30, 2021, the
market values of pledged securities and FDIC insurance exceeded bank balances.
Custodial credit risk — investments: For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City's investment policy
requires that it will seek to safekeeping securities at financial institutions, avoiding physical
possession. Further, all trades, where applicable, are executed by delivery versus payment to ensure
that securities are deposited in the City's safekeeping account prior to the release of funds.

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The City participates as one of 895 plans in the nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit
pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency
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 municipal
employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of
the System with a six-member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent
of the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS’s defined
benefit pension plan is a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMRS
issues a publicly available annual comprehensive financial report that can be obtained at www.TMRS.org.
All eligible employees of the City are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the
governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and
the city-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may choose
to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven payments options. Members may also choose to
receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or
36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with five or more years of service or with 20 years of service
regardless of age. A member is vested after five years. The plan provisions arc adopted by the governing,
body of the City, with in the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the
actuarial constraints also in the statutes.
Beginning in 2009, the City granted an annually repeating (automatic) basis monetary credit referred
to as an updated service credit (USC) which is a theoretical amount that takes into account salary
increases or plan improvements. If at any time during their career an employee earns a USC, this
amount remains in their account earning interest at 5% until retirement. At retirement, the benefit is
calculated as if the sum of the employee’s accumulated contributions with interest and the employer
match plus employer-financed monetary credits, such as USC, with interest were used to purchase an
annuity. Additionally, initiated in 2009, the City provided on an annually repeating (automatic) basis
cost of living adjustments (COLA) for retirees equal to a percentage of the change in the consumer price
index (CPI).
36
A summary of plan provisions for the City are as follows:
Employee deposit rate 7%
Matching ratio (City to employee) 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5
Service retirement eligibility
20 years at any age,
5 years at age 60 and above
Uupdated service credit
100% repeating, transfers
Annuity increase to retirees
70% of CPI repeating
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2020 valuation and measurement date, the following numbers of employees were
covered by the benefit terms:
Contributions
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 38
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 85
Active employees 108
Total 231
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross earnings,
and the municipal matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the
governing body of the municipality. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each
municipality is determined annually by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost
method. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of
benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded
accrued liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal
year. The City increased its employee contribution rate during the year. The contribution rates for the
City were 7% and 7% in calendar years 2019 and 2020, respectively. The City’s contributions to TMRS
for the year ended September 30, 2021, were $540,444, and were equal to the required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The City’s Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2020, 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, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation
Overall payroll growth
Investment Rate of Return
2.50% per year
2.75% per year
6.75% net of pension plan investment expense,
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. The rates for actives, healthy retirees and
beneficiaries are projected on a fully generational basis by Scale UMP to account for future mortality
improvements. For disabled annuitants, the same mortality tables for healthy retirees is 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 UMP to
account for future mortality improvements subject to the floor.
37
The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial investigation of the experience
of TMRS over the four-year period from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018. They were adopted
in 2019 and first used in the December 31, 2019 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 in order 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 buildingblock
method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expenses 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 arithmetic real
rates return for each major asset class in fiscal year 2021 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Real Rate of Return
Asset Class Target Allocation (Arithmetic)
Global Equity 30.00% 5.30%
Core fixed income 10.00% 1.25%
Non-core fixed income 20.00% 4.14%
Real return 10.00% 3.85%
Real estate 10.00% 4.00%
Absolute return 10.00% 3.48%
Private equity 10.00% 7.75%
Total 100.00%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee 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
employees. 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.

DEFINED OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (OPEB) PLAN – TMRS SUPPLEMENTAL DEATH
BENEFITS FUND
Plan Description
The City voluntarily participates in a single-employer other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan
administered by TMRS. The Plan is a group-term life insurance plan known as the Supplemental Death
Benefits Fund (SDBF). The Plan is established and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act
identically to the City’s pension plan. SDBF includes coverage for both active and retired members, and
assets are commingled for the payment of such benefits. Therefore, the Plan does not qualify as an
OPEB Trust in accordance with paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75.
39
Benefits Provided
The SDBF provides group-term life insurance to City employees who are active members in TMRS,
including or not including retirees. The City Council opted into this program via an ordinance, and 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.
Payments from this fund are similar to group-term life insurance benefits, and are paid to the designated
beneficiaries upon the receipt of an approved application for payment. 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 employment benefit and is a fixed amount
of $7,500.
At the December 31, 2020 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Contributions
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 33
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 16
Active employees 108
Total 157
The City contributes to the SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual actuarial
valuation, which was 0.13% for 2020 and 0.11% for 2021, of which 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively,
represented the retiree-only portion for each year, as a percentage of annual covered payroll. 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 prefund retiree term life insurance during employees’ entire careers. The City’s
contributions to the SDBF for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $2,046 and $742,
respectively, representing contributions for both active and retiree coverage, which equaled the required
contributions each year.
Total OPEB Liability
The City's Net OPEB Liability (TOL) was measured as of December 31, 2020 and was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions
The Total OPEB Liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation rate 2.50%
Salary increases
3.5% to 11.5% including inflation
Discount rate 2.00%
Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and beneficiaries were based on the gender-distinct RP2000
Combined Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment, with male rates multiplied by 109%
and female rates multiplied by 103%. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB
to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the gender-distinct RP2000
Combined Healthy Mortality Tables with Blue Collar Adjustment are used with male rates multiplied by
109% and female rates multiplied by 103% with a 3-year set-forward for both males and females. In
addition, a 3% minimum mortality rate is applied to reflect the impairment for younger members who
became disabled. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale BB to account for future
mortality improvements subject to the 3% floor. Administrative expenses for the SDBF are paid through
the TMRS Pension Trust Fund and are wholly accounted for under the provisions of GASB Statement No.
68.
Changes in assumptions reflect the annual change in the municipal bond rate. The actuarial assumptions
used in the December 31, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for
the period December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018.
40
Discount Rate
The SDBF program is treated as an unfunded OPEB plan because the SDBF trust covers both actives
and retirees and the assets are not segregated for these groups. As such, a single discount rate of
2.00% was used to measure the Total OPEB Liability. Because the plan is essentially a “pay-as-you-go”
plan, the single discount rate is equal to the prevailing municipal bond rate. The source of the municipal
bond rate was fixed-income municipal bonds with 20 years to maturity that include only federally taxexempt
municipal bonds as reported in Fidelity Index’s “20-year Municipal GO AA Index” as of December
31, 2020.

X. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Wastewater Treatment Services
The City has entered into a contract with the Trinity River Authority of Texas - Red Oak Creek Regional
Wastewater System to obtain wastewater treatment services, which has no expiration date. In the
contract, the Authority agreed to acquire and construct a regional wastewater treatment system to serve
the City and other contractual parties, in the area of the watershed or drainage basin of Red Oak Creek,
being a tributary of the Trinity River, and located in Ellis and Dallas Counties, Texas. The Trinity River
Authority is a governmental agency, which is controlled by directors appointed by the governor.
The City is responsible for a proportionate share of the system's annual operation, maintenance and
debt service costs for the term of the contract. These costs are determined annually and are payable in
monthly installments. Actual payments for the year ended September 30, 2021 were $3,452,046. The
payments to be received from the City of Red Oak are used as collateral for the bonds issued by TRA to
construct the facility.
Complete separate financial statements far the Trinity River Authority may be obtained at Trinity River
Authority of Texas, 5300 South Collins, P.O. Box 60, Arlington, Texas 76004.
Police Dispatching Services
The City has entered into a contract with the City of Midlothian, Texas to combine dispatching services
for both cities, effective October 1, 2009. In May 2020, the contract was extended another five years.
In the contract, the City of Midlothian will assume and provide all dispatching services.
The City of Red Oak is responsible for a proportionate share of the cost of dispatching services for the
term of the contract. The City of Red Oak has agreed to pay the sum of $585,396 to the City of Midlothian
annually for the first three years of the contract, payable in quarterly installments. After the initial three
years of the contract the costs will be determined annually and are payable in quarterly installments.
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies ore subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor, cannot
be determined at this time although the government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Litigation Settlement
In March 2022, the City of Red Oak and the City of Red Oak Industrial Development Corporation
(CROIDC) signed a settlement agreement with the Rockett Special Utility District (RSUD). Under the
settlement, the City has accrued $4,760,000 as of September 30, 2021 for the transfer of a portion of
RSUD’s Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) to the City of Red Oak.
XI.
RISK MANAGEMENT
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. The City maintains
commercial insurance coverage covering each of those risks of loss. Management believes such coverage
is sufficient to preclude any significant uninsured losses to the City. Settled claims have not exceeded
this commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
42
XII.
TAX ABATEMENTS
The city enters into economic development agreements designed to promote development and
redevelopment within the City, spur economic improvement, stimulate commercial activity, generate
additional sales tax and enhance the property tax base and economic vitality of the City. A portion of
the City's economic development agreements are authorized under Chapter 312 (Property
Redevelopment and Tax Abatement) of the Texas Tax Code. The economic development agreements
are designed to support the creation of new businesses, the expansion and retention of existing
businesses within the City, and the attraction of companies that offer high impact jobs and share the
community's values. Recipients may be eligible to receive economic assistance based on the
employment, or community impact of the project requesting assistance. Recipients generally commit to
building or remodeling real property and related infrastructures, redeveloping properties, expanding
operations or bringing targeted businesses to the City. These agreements have no formal recapture
provisions. For FY 2021, the City abated $559,132 in taxes.
The City enters into various agreements under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code to
stimulate economic development. The City benefits from 380 agreements through the promotion of
economic development activity, job creation, increased tax revenues, increased opportunity for input
into new development construction of city/county projects, creation of new businesses, infrastructure
commitments, and streamlining implementation. These development incentives typically take the form
of property tax abatements, loans or grants, commitments for infrastructure, or payments of portions
of the sales tax generated by the project. For FY 2021, the City did not rebate any taxes.
XIII. SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING STANDARDS

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
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Red Oak, 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 Red
Oak, Texas as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City of Red Oak, Texas’ basic financial statements and have issued
our report thereon dated June 2, 2022.
Internal Control Over Financing Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Red Oak,
Texas’ internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit 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 City of Red Oak, Texas’ internal
control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Red Oak, Texas’ 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
entity’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
may exist that have not been identified.
88
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Red Oak, Texas’ 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 entity’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 entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
Item 2020-001
Condition:
While the City’s purchasing policy includes guidance for competitive bids, the purchasing policy does not reflect
the current process for procurement. Rapid growth in the City coupled with turnover in staff has led to the City’s
purchasing policy becoming outdated. Expenditures were made with vendors who were not procured in
accordance with State of Texas competitive bidding requirements.
Current Status:
This matter has been resolved. The City has engaged a purchasing specialist to provide a policy that will ensure
purchasing requirements set by state and federal procurement laws are met. Once the policy is updated, the
City will ensure that procurement processes align with the policy and will provide training to all City purchasers
on both policy and process. The City will evaluate procurement related personnel duties and consider providing
specific duties related to the review of purchasing requirements, providing guidance and support to department
purchasers, and monitoring and reporting on all purchases applicable to competitive requirements from budget
to expense. A review of current fiscal year purchases will be conducted and monitored to ensure that all
competitive requirements are being met.
